Man Who Uncovered Jonathan Gruber Videos Appears on Video for the First Time
ATTKISSON: "And you were the man credited with finding some very -- at least some viewed it as incriminating videos about ObamaCare."
WEINSTEIN: "I started looking into the Affordable Care Act when I lost my insurance and I learned of that late in 2013. And when I lost my insurance, I thought better start looking into what's going on a little bit because I believed in they said 'If you like your plan, keep your plan.' I believed that just like everybody else."
ATTKISSON: "What did you discovered on the videos that you thought was at least noteworthy?"
WEINSTEIN: "I found what I call the [indecipherable] video that's on its way to the Supreme Court. I found the 'stupid videos.'

GRUBER: "And that passed, because American voters are too stupid to understand the difference."

WEINSTEIN: "There was the video that talks about the lack of economic understanding of the American people."

GRUBER: "It's a very clever basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter.”

WEINSTEIN: "Which relates to Cadillac tax. I found a bunch of videos that kind of explains how the Cadillac tax is gonna impact on 58 million people who get their insurance through work. I don't think these people were expecting what's going to hit them in the next couple years."
ATTKISSON: "So Jonathan Gruber, an MIT professor, an architect of ObamaCare is in some of these videos taking a position that is against the position being fought by the Obama administration in the current Supreme Court case?"
WEINSTEIN: "That's exactly right. As he was actually holding these briefs on behalf of the government as these cases were going through the court system."
