" Or even October is there hope for health care reform joining us now former mayor of New York City. Potential governor of New York Rudy Giuliani I can always hope right -- at -- I hope there's no hope for the health care plan don't know about you for governor Arnold and we can hope next year outlook at this. This would be. Here reversible to a very large access so far the damage. That the Obama administration has done to our economy is very very serious I think more than any president has done ever in a short period of time. But most of its reversible it's about spending money it's about deficits it's about ultimately inflation. This would this would be. Almost irreversible you put anywhere from twenty to fifty million more people on government insurance government cooperative. Nationalized health care. It's going to be very hard to get them off and Medicaid has never been able to be reformed. Medicaid got started her cause out of control when I was mayor your -- pays 25% of the Medicaid bill. Think at that time was two point five billion and rising. Very very hard to control so. This we have to fight and we have to stop it. Did it seems that there is this pattern is just emerging on the Democrats such as they actually think that they can spend their way out of it into prosperity. And tax that way in prosperity and indeed the old right. You know cliche what Paxson -- they miss is we got into trouble by spending too much that's that the problem was government spending too much business is spending too much. But -- spending too much and people spending too much -- people buying homes they couldn't afford people putting too much on their credit cards. Businesses buying it for credit rather than cash we were -- spend too. Out of control mentality and the Obama administration. Has made all those big try to look like -- city and Joe Biden Joe Biden said what we're going bankrupt them and we're gonna spend more money to get out of bankruptcy he was never bankruptcy when -- got to get a good -- if I let me. Get the political side of this that is you've got for example the blue dog Democrats seem like they were that holds strong. It looks -- my mind like they were bought off. In Italy -- John McCain tell you that that you can't accountable on the -- thought I would I would warning everybody that thought already won this -- really. Yeah police well I I -- and other other Tehran radio called -- actually get help because they basically said there was twisted there about it you know why because they're essentially not economic conservatives. They're essentially either moderate or liberal in districts. That requires them to be that way right so they're doing the show rather than becomes so you think that they are creating the appearance that the more fiscally conservative so they can -- there anybody that is I think an economic moderate the idea of increasing. Nationalized health care now is a disaster. To disaster for the economy into disaster for society and worst of all the most important thing we have -- our health. And it's putting a helping grave jeopardy. He get a look at all the taxes they -- race now say they want for exempt plastic surgery tax which by the way will be greatly impact my future. They -- soda tax that one in New York they want an iPod tax a movie taxes cigar tax a cigarette tax. The -- if you wake up in the morning -- Republican attacks that well it's eight it indicates -- New York. It's gonna drive people out of New York I mean that a radius even to say that the so called sin taxes the tobacco everything else. It is not an unlimited. Number you can go to eventually get to and over the drive so many people -- yeah actually raise less money. They did that they did over the hotel occupancy tax in New York when the Democrats had control before it came into office. They rated so high. They -- losing the billion dollars a year. I lowered by third. Help get it lowered by a third and we started making a hundred million dollars more in this city New Yorkers city of what eight million people who -- half million people write our. I read in one of the local papers that 50% of New York city's income tax bill. A city -- eight million people. Comes from 42242. People is that how problem probably probably correct probably correct effect well I'm a little surprised by that. That because of the graduated income tax. We already have -- major distribution of wealth going on in this country we do regret redistribution of wealth him from from rich to poor. The rich pay the so called rich will talk about 200000 also more in New York City and it's hard for people understand. These people sometimes it sort of families they're really struggling. What he will do. His driveway wells which is after what produces jobs -- Obama's plan would appoint a New York to plan a New Jersey. These are these plans it'll change the nature of our society to a social democracy but that we see things are shifting. The governor of New York is extremely unpopular the governor of New Jersey is extremely unpopular Chris Dodd is in terrible trouble in Connecticut. You see -- McDonnell emerging fifteen point lead real clear politics. Barbara Boxer is in trouble in out in California. Do you think that with with that couple with the president's poll numbers that there is the re emergence of the Republican Party not yet it's it's happening. I think that the the press conference of president have last week. Forget the -- common all of that it was one of the worst because fury was he hasn't down with a ten yard line he -- but -- get this healthcare thing over the over the top. And what does he do he gives a press conference in which you're giving -- Now that this is the beginning of the sensitivity and he wants to -- you want to force congress to vote until -- tell you how many people how much money it's gonna cost. How much it's gonna say to give you this ridiculous idea that it can save money. How do you -- forty of fifty million people and save money. The American people are more intelligent than to bite that you mentioned the gates issue in this you know hold -- summit. Obviously this. What you'll. When you say that I don't have any facts and I don't know I think. I had pretty oppressed -- this usually get in trouble the last question as he did the that your idea and very often I would I would use the I can't comment on that to remind myself to keep my big Russia is -- kind of -- as a ideas as of and I don't when the president said that I said what actually did stop that smart and reminding himself. Shut up don't sending the minute you say I don't know the facts. You -- can't have been extremely strong opinion about something you don't know about how -- it's coming at you prejudged it but we're at and they want legal fees cops are bad. But only if it acted stupidly yet we're not going as well let's facility is with telling you we didn't know how they acted it -- but I'm just gonna assume the cat -- text into the -- please act stupidly. Now would it have been better -- just apologize that I screwed up I should've said anything added that he says this is a teachable moment and many lectures through the rest of society that. We can really learn from the do we need to lower the volume light you raise the -- is actually read his teacher what is the lesson shut up you shut up. Office but also shut up when a cop. I detest you can't help you don't insult them you don't -- you don't scream my father told me that was very young and I grew up in Brooklyn it was a good lesson and it's -- senate Colin Powell said he says this sort of Bill Cosby yeah and just keep your mouth shut I won't let it be nice -- nice to the cup they have uniforms on. And they rescue something I don't do you don't do gates doesn't -- President Obama doesn't have to put their lives at risk every every night for us. You've got to have respect for the uniform and confessed you a you step ahead before. Coming up pulled over few times in my life you know I learned. When you say yes officer no officer thank you it it's the best thing was pickles the last wave what you want unless about a particular. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that's presentable I don't know what I don't. Don't -- don't ever do the but what this meeting opposite."
" That -- he don't know why I think -- yeah you're challenging Italian intelligence yet the incidence of sorry if you didn't think you're right. I'm sorry I didn't need it officer I was rushing you know I I think I'll never do it again I promised I can tell you when you argue ways to get tickets. We've got now except one guy wants that to me -- that idiot on fox that -- that the health and -- said yeah but I'm president of the mayor and they -- not only. Have gonna save us there."
