" Is it time for another contract. -- America."
" Well I certainly strap of the vote -- do adopt a positive alternative. Two. Collapsed program I I don't think it's adequate to just -- the -- that's negative and you've got -- say here's what we would do positive way. And whether that becomes a contractor weather for the moment it's just platform. I think -- badly need to adopt some very positive. And and and be prepared to be able -- in one of the great challenges as you'd look at your master of of them all the media. To communicate in a country this big in this complex you have to be prepared to say the same thing over and over and over. And I think sometimes Republican leaders you -- before they get that --"
" You're very good -- that historically certainly when you were in power in congress. Is there repeating the same message he's staying on message having those the point you had with a contract in America. And that being that the of the blueprint that it if you accomplish that they've gotten away from that."
" Yeah and and frankly we did it because used to raise children we -- Reagan and that's what Reagan the Reagan understood. That you had to communicate clearly and competitively. And you have to communicate positive thing he had -- three major means. He struck them very consistently he was very disciplined. And they were -- was positive."
" Are you at all embarrassed by what the parties doing now the tea party is the that the angry shouting do you light of the president the -- I'm having some of the behavior on the part of members of your part of."
" Now I MacBook I think a lot of that's driven by the behavior on the -- A lot like you -- buyers that they passed a 787. Billion dollar bill that nobody had written."
" I don't know I think yeah begun on the Internet and people should have a chance to resign as was promised no question about it there -- but I'm talking about behavior I'm not talking about you know we can debate debate transparency. But I mean they the anger is the bitterness of the lack of a positive message I just."
" But I think a lot of the anger council lack of transparency the necessity -- to. I do by Obama. Like to quiet quiet the last including the president."
" The president has lied to the American people lied to public."
" Alan -- India has promised that the transparency. None of them have been true. You know that take take take. To take his commitment the other night in a nationwide addressed that we would not -- to the national debt with health care. You you know that's not true. You know this bill -- the extra thirteen years is going to be our best we."
" Is saying that without reforming healthcare premiums go up it is east central to the economy and economic well being of the country out -- yeah."
" Illegitimate -- but he made it explicit flat promise not eight diamond is increase in the depths. That's just not gonna be truly independent -- trying to use of language. That I think tries people on the right wild idea how -- compete with a very articulate person. Who has all the power of the presidency. And then look you in the alliance says that you just -- you know are popular but they're not readable."
" The Republicans have the street -- to talk about the deficit when Reagan let live left us with -- deficit and then and George W. Bush -- this for the biggest deficit and then there are."
" preacher about that secular and the only speaker in your life term. To produce four consecutive balanced budgets for off 405 billion dollars in debt and for years I was speaker we caps spending annually two point 9%. Which is the smallest increase since Calvin Coolidge and nineteenth -- points for the outback and defend the bush budget that -- the -- budget."
" You say that Pelosi and Reid the most left wing leaders in congressional history -- what solar -- about them they're not you know from advocating single Payer now there there are now moving forward they're not fighting hard have to get to legitimate GAAP -- would be left flank."
" Alan we're very good friends -- a lot but anyway yeah this is not going to be attached. At you man who district where -- can talk about the speaker from San Francisco. And ask why I think she's left wing. Now you said the most left and the history not to let your bank -- And speaker in history. Why don't you -- system equity. We can't find anybody. Deserves even getting up there there's even letting the public option the other hand the fighting for that and I don't see the world a leveling."
" Explicitly not true and I'll guarantee you. He shoots that publicly. Sheehan and relax we're gonna do everything they can be created government plan when they go to con."
" She has said that but it does look like that necessarily gonna happen elements of the presence -- have backed off but he's not fighting for hard enough I'd like his -- and all --"
" But I think they planned to get into a closed conference in secret with no transparency. And bring out of bill that absolutely as -- government provision. I think frankly that -- do you want business and not you have to do this. But I think it'll be there I think will be absolutely built into the bill. I would be shocked that they come out of conference without some kind of government program."
" I'd what is what would Newt Gingrich do about health care how do you solve the problem."
" Well people go to -- saturation dot net where the senator for help transmission which helped found. Wouldn't do it certainly Percival would stop paying the crops. I was just published a book that -- program called stopping the crops we outlined between seventy and 120. Billion dollars a year. In fraud in Medicare and Medicaid second. We would go to. Prevention wellness. Early intervention. We think that people with chronic condition champions analyzed them trained to take care of themselves that dramatic -- response. Third we have a system of looking at best practices because we know that the best practices in America are less expensive. They produce better outcome longer lives and greater independence and they're cheaper because they actually work. And finally we would go to very heavy investment in science because we could have a breakthrough of some chemicals timers we could say ten trillion not billion control."
" Where does that money come -- to pay for that stuff."
" I would actually irritate back at a research drop budget and I would issue it's the specialized research bombs. And then I would take that first cut of the savings once you have a breakthrough and pay off the bonds and I think that it would absolutely repair itself. To maximize the greatest scientific change in these kind of diseases and enable people live better lot."
" And -- you -- you get people insured or not covered we can argue whether it's forty million or twenty million but. While he gets he gets people."
" If you take this -- to accept public industry that the way to set to pay any attention. -- the savings to get by having an honest effective system that that -- saint half the that we think is installed right now. You can provide a large of tax credit to cover most of people without having to go to any kind of large and complex government one."
" All right rescues and GOP 32 Huckabee 29% Romney 24% Palin 18% any of those. --"
" Maybe the label it an -- would say yeah. Huckabee Romney ticket."
" that -- Q what do you think they're me that idea."
" Well I think if we actually had a long way from here to there with with a B I -- that show on fox and do very well he saw these -- very smart businessman -- Huckabee Romney ticket be -- to get. I have no idea I think it was still a 10% unemployment. Almost anybody could be able to."
