Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" I didn't ask Newt Gingrich is a veteran of the Capitol Hill health care wars so present Obama get the bill he wants as quickly as he wants it. And what the speaker Gingrich think about the democrats' plan. Speaker Gingrich joins us live -- speaker good to be here first of all let's do some big picture that question is do we need healthcare reform you have to boot up and we need help. I what do you think about the in the three different plans this or weaving its way through congress."

" Well mean that the liberal plan in the house makes no sense at all it has no reform of costs. It is a massive increase in spending. It is much bigger government and will kill jobs now in economy is moving towards 10% unemployment. Where the Federal Reserve warned last Thursday that we we have five years with no net new jobs it was a five years trapped at 8910%. Unemployment was no net new jobs. I can't imagine it's almost suicidal. To think about passing a giant tax increase spending bill to further crush the economy."

" Where do you think you mean if we said. Democrats sitting here who -- what are the Democrats say own -- to speak urologist -- rental surtax on the wealthy and that will pay for it all be fine in the forty million plus the be taking care Volvo. Mean is it that's sort of the thinking. Why."

" I don't know what the thinking is I do know that the administration. The director of the budget admitted yesterday. That there's 239. Billion dollars in deficit in the bill that they're not counting. That's was -- to pay doctors see that the AMA and American Medical Association is what the bill. I do know that the director of the Congressional Budget Office testified in the Senate. That not only is -- not anything which reduces cost in this bill it will actually raise the cost of health -- that's the director the Congressional Budget Office. I do know that. If you wanna create jobs in America -- in a press conference tomorrow at the National Press Club tomorrow morning for American solutions. -- major tax cuts because if you wanna this is what finds it difficult to understand if you wanna create jobs in America. You want to help small business. Well the very people they're talking about taxing. Our small business."

" So you -- at the outset that you think we need health care reform -- have your -- your program American solutions so tell me. What is your solution to the health care well you had authority."

" an American solutions what we're doing tax cuts for small business and for economic growth but also founded the center for health transformation. And Nancy does -- the president gave America is the public policy vice president. -- for a quick facts. Jennifer over the several transmission just published a book last Friday which is available online. Called quick -- stop paying the crux. We think there's between seventy and 120 billion dollars a year in fraud and corruption in Medicare Medicaid --"

" And confidence are actually not a people try to save only two examples."

" And then -- to New York who filed 982. Procedures today."

" Then you didn't you should Beckham should pick that one up its all paper. Anemia and imagining it mechanized and yeah. I -- Stockton in India when I used my American Express three times because at the same store right gigabytes and 300 TH -- and I got back here though I like dynamite telephones and I need my American Express three times that."

" no invitation. By the US government doesn't run American Express yet. And then there in -- but even if they do there won't be out of cash -- the first -- exactly Louisa said incompetent. Government. Would be a little run Medicare and Medicaid first example the New York Times. Do which estimates that 10% of all Medicaid -- in his fraud that's 4000000400. Million dollars a year in New York State to a second example. Five pizza parlors in South Florida. File as HIV aids transfusion centers and get paid. But and that -- that's called fast okay yes I -- your first point as you want real health reform how about if we save seven. 220 billion dollars a year when no longer paying the -- So what do -- we need to put a whistle -- provision incidentally I think yeah I don't electronic health system we have to hire a company like Jesus -- Americans trust somebody whose specialty. Is monitoring transactions."

" And you have to pull up all good you know there's always say stuff like that transmit transaction and index it and -- why so let's find three things the same store. This got this stuff like that my -- anatomy of a similar example."

" Did these last director of the committee of the senate committee chairman of users as pointed out they found one case where a doctor had filed for for a colonoscopy is on the same person and one day. No my reaction was I certainly hope that's what -- did anything about that pat -- I would think that they don't go as Billy Butler I had that would also have well some of."

" Very bold proposal. In the alzheimer's. The study group an alzheimer's solution group which Michelle Stein who leads. We had three Nobel prize winners and 125 other neuroscientist. Who have told us that they believe if we put the right investment in alzheimer's we will get a cure. Between 20/20 and 20/20 five. Alzheimer's is a twenty trillion dollar cost to the federal government. Between now and 2050. An enormously painful for every family involved. And a big cost to state government and a big cost of private families so we could have the right program. And we he had a breakthrough in the next ten or twelve years we might be able to save nine or ten trillion dollars."

" Did -- and the thing that said that serve life payments for obvious him and apple of that is the fact that nobody gonna read this village so profoundly important. Is there can do you think that the people are voting -- list -- supported them fight it and it is Sunday I'll calm. Do they feelings in a while responsibility to see what's actually in that now."

" Well. I think. The disgrace first of all of passing the 787 billion dollar spending bill for that really isn't that what we don't I want followed by. Remember on the energy tax they bought votes the last night. And submitted a 300 page amendment at 3 o'clock in the morning and voted for the assessment -- no one having an. That's those already a thousand pages long. Several blue dog Democrats went down to the White House to negotiate today the White House is trying to find a way to buy them off. My guess is that you might well see a 500 page amendment. At 5 o'clock in the morning next week before they voted -- in the morning I'm Bob Hope."

" And that the president week it's up to give his press conference tomorrow night tells American people that he's -- insist that people who actually voting on this read and make no I learned judge whether it's good or bad -- enacted shouted yeah and --"

" I was the president would say three things tomorrow night. Which I'm afraid none of those safe to say my newsletter tomorrow lists. Ten questions white house press corps and ask you. But I would you say three things so she's a first of all we're gonna slow down. This is lifetime that's for individuals could be life and death for the country has the largest sector of the economy we shouldn't rams something's truly don't understand or read. I have been around the first so a slowdown get it done over the next five or six months not over the next ten or twelve days. Second I wish the president would say he's not -- system left wing bill. The raises taxes increases government he's prepared to -- now the Republicans and the Democrats together to be genuinely bipartisan. And third I wish he would take this Federal Reserve report that says we really had no new net jobs for five years. And say you know facelift that lets rethink our priorities. Because our number one priority should be jobs here jobs now. It shouldn't be. You know let's get around with -- after the energy tax and after health and after this time that women people innocent where kids really really serious."

" Contaminant problem and a good test data that you're going right now that's like seeing is."
