" President here's the one thing tonight where are the tough questions thing where are the tough questioners. Even this to settle for simple questions coming from simple -- like me like. Mr. President. Can you name a single doctor that his ripped the kids consoles out or -- feed off of patients for cash just. -- one. I'm -- White House watches will believe me I know I've got a full -- Acts line stole my -- than ever here at fox called me up give me the name of the doctor. You got about 58 minutes. The media has no -- trouble running with false stories on George W Bush's National Guard service war. George Bush -- hates black people so much he blew up the levees in New Orleans but got. Forbid we find out the details on Obama's health plan. You know we don't forget about the doctors gotten feeds off how about just the details of the plan. You know other -- healthcare for all all but you can. Yet but glad you keep talking about -- crazy -- panel's staff. This this health plan is great for seniors oh yes yes I'm I'm sure it's going to be I -- President Obama say the government. Won't pull the plug on grandma."
" Rumor that's been circulating a lot lately. Is this idea that somehow. The House of Representatives voted for -- panels. That will. Basically pull the plug on grandma. Because. We've decided that. We don't it's too expensive. Let her live anymore. The intention of the members of congress was to give people more information. So that they could handle issues of end of life care. When they're ready on their own terms. It wasn't forcing anybody to do -- play them."
" That is so comforting it is so comforting. But will the media. Asked the president about his comments from -- way way back I mean we're talking ancient history back in April when he said quote. You get into some very difficult moral issues when considering whether to give my grandmother or everybody else is aging parents. Or parents a hip. Replacement when they are terminally ill. The chronically ill and those towards. Toward the chronically ill and those toward the end of their life are accounting for potentially 80% of total health care. You don't want Mr. President it is only a difficult moral issue for the government. You know even Barack Obama knows what you should it really do when he said that quote. I don't know how much that hip replacement cost but I -- paid for it out of my pocket for that hip replacement because she is my grandmother. Well why doesn't somebody somebody else besides Major Garrett -- in Jake Tapper I mean I know Major Garrett doesn't ask the questions at the White House because. He's never called on whom I wonder why. Why doesn't someone else besides those two call the president out on his blatant. Intellectual -- honesty. You know which do you believe. Do you believe hey I'm not gonna pull that plug thing or. You know old people's cost per breath ratio. Which one which one. You can count on the media to show up when Sarah Palin says anything when Sarah Palin says she's worried about the prospects of her special needs child trade. Being at the mercy of death panels under universal health care. The media blasts her she's a Kook. -- why is that so ridiculous to ask that question after you see what we showed you last night about the -- and the people around the president and what they believe about children. When you look at what his closest advisers believe how -- that crazy -- Palin is not the one with the complete -- leaves the system. But Obama's advisers are and apparently. As the April interview revealed Obama is concerned about those old people as they soak up 1080%. Of health care costs. Well it's such a moral dilemma. So these old people the -- sure they have lots of candy around the house but gosh darn it they're so expensive to keep -- you know what I mean. Of course. The rationing talk is all predicated on an emergency or a crisis. Yes however another question not being asked by the media is. Are there any foreseeable emergencies. Or crisis in our near future. -- the stimulus is passed having just seen the economist all say it's over we're past the worst is behind us really. So we're not monetize seeing our debts or anything like that no no. No of course not because I'm sure the media would have reported on -- if the government we're creating new money to buy a government debt. That is that unfortunately with the Fed is doing there there on its way buying up over half a trillion dollars in government debt. And that we're we're closing now in on our what it Forbes dot com caller today -- I remember our Zimbabwe moment. We could never suffer Zimbabwe's fate of hyper inflation and collapse -- no no. What wasn't that turned those not -- in did not seize up remember. They were the bite my Republican then down at hyper inflation and not c.'s board member but this is America. -- crazy inflation or any kind of problems. Jimmy Carter with -- that that never happens here."
