senator jeanne shaheen, the letter that she wrote to the president, democratic senator running for president in 2014, in new hampshire, somewhat of a swing state. do you agree with her concerns and do you want to see the white house consider extending open enrollment and perhaps delaying at least the penalty phase of the mandate? >> the president, let's make it clear, shares those same concerns. he made that very clear yesterday in the press conference that he did that he has focused on making sure that we have a tech surge of expertise to get that website in proper working order so that more people can more easily get on and comparison shop, which is the intention of the website. and so the president is very committed and focused on making sure that those glitches and bugs are resolved so that we can get people signed up for coverage. and at the end of the day, though, the folks that have been able to -- there have been, really millions of people, i think we're at 20 million people in the first two weeks that went on to the website. they have been able to move around and compare plans and,

today we go to new hampshire where democratic senator jeanne shaheen will be seeking a fourth term but is considered vulnerable. enter former massachusetts republican senator scott brown. brown just sold his house in massachusetts and moved to new hampshire. he is widely expected to challenge senator shaheen, who's already been the target of ads by a conservative super pac. >> on health care, jeanne shaheen didn't tell the truth. >> you can keep your insurance if you like it. it will increase choices for families. it will promote competition. >> the facts. more than 20,000 new hampshire patients have had their coverage cancelled. so next november, if you like your senator, you can keep her. if you don't, you know what to do. >> long-time political reporter and columnist for the national telegraph, kevin landrigan, joins me now. kevin, first of all, how would scott brown not be seen as a carpet bagger in new hampshire? >> well, i think the republican party in new hampshire really is desperate. i was at the fund-raiser, sold-out fund-raiser the republican party had with scott brown last

the latest sign that he may be prepping to challenge the incumbent, democratic senator jeanne shaheen come 2014. he's getting support from a conservative super pac with the help of this obamacare attack ad. take a look. >> on health care, jeanne shaheen didn't tell the truth. >> you can keep your insurance if you like it. it will increase choices for families. it will promote competition. >> the facts. more than 20,000 new hampshire patients have had their coverage cancelled. next november, if you like your senator, you can keep her. if you don't, you know what to do. >> so do you support scott brown, senator, running in new hampshire? do you think he should run? >> well, i think anybody who wants to run in new hampshire is welcome to run. we're an open primary state and we're filled with a lot of enthusiastic people who want to get involved with government, which is one of our big pluses. we've always been a political hotbed, starting with our primary system and the national primary system. but it will be an open and hotly contested primary on the republican side as to who runs again

does this mean he's set his sights on challenging senator jeanne shaheen? >>> plus their approval ratings are in the toilet. a new poll shows they're less trusted than car salesmen, but just how hard does congress really work? get this, a new survey suggests they're probably working harder than you. do you buy it? >>> good morning, i'm chris jansing. right now the senate is about to take its first vote on the budget deal. 60 votes are needed to move forward. it appears the deal has not only the votes to pass this first hurdle, cloture, but also enough republican support to pass the final vote tomorrow. and in about 45 minutes, the president will meet with 15 silicon valley ceos to talk about the obamacare website and the nsa. that meeting with high profile tech giants like apple's tim cook, google's eric schmidt comes as the white house is dealing with the fallout from a judge's decision about the nsa. the judge ruled the call program violates the constitution by sweeping up meta data on every american's phone calls. i want to bring in our company. dafna li

but kelly was the first phone call that i received followed by senator jeanne shaheen. i feel we can break ground. i was surprised when i got the two were of the house they said you can sit anywhere. the tradition is to sit by party but the new member class is over 50 members, we will spread out. just like the republican women taking power pitcher on the steps that we will make a strong in rhode. >> there is just more light on what it divides people but we work toward common ground. >> what the senate when men do, and now there are 20 of us, we meet four times a year to have dinner together. bipartisan. rico by a barbara mikulski is rules what it is said at the dinner stays at the dinner.

we have senator jeanne shaheen, who i have heard more than once to be called jeanne shaheen the who has voted, for every big government, big spending program that president obama has offered, right down the line. has cast aheen supportive vote for everything on obamacare that has come down. let me remind you, senator shaheen, who signed a letter to the irs, asking them to look more closely at some of these targeting american citizens for their political views. on the other side, we have senator kelly ayotte. [applause] she has been a loud, clear, principled voice for the people of new hampshire since the day she got elected. not only has she been fighting for common sense things like a balanced budget. she has been a leading voice on demanding the truth about what happened in benghazi. she has stood up -- [applause] and she is not backing down on that. [applause] you got such a good response, i forgot what i was going to say next. remembered, she has been a strong and supportive voice. even when she knows a vote is going to be difficult, nose and vote is going to cost her, she stands up

if you're in the senate, is that how you'd sell to mary landrieu, sell to jeanne shaheen? >> exactly. everybody in obama care survives, but there is an additional option and it gets insurance on terms that makes sense for them and them voluntarily go towards. >> i love it. terrific stuff. as always, glad to see you. >>> now, janet yellen came close to being fully confirm dad as our next fed head. i know she's our empress of the doves. but i'm going to give her a real honeymoon period and i even have some sound advice for her next up. but first, don't forget obama care website is still not close to working well. here's what one cyber expert had to say on cnbc earlier today. >> most of us felt you got to start all over again. we need health care 2.0. back in the '80s, we built apembassy in russia when they almost got done, it was filled with bugs. and listening device. and it cost us $130 million to tear it down and start all over again because it coukocould wou have cost more to fix it. a and that's the position we're in here. have hail damage to both their cars. ted ted is
