" I reaction -- Washington Fox News senior political wiles -- do you think he wants a purposely destroyed economy. Well if by that billion -- dismantle the entire economy obviously not. No president who did -- just did you say going to be reelected him on clone would go through the moon we have no no wealth at all. If on the other hand what what what rush limbo is getting it by saying that was that he wants to do away. With the economy as we have recently known basically a lower tax system and we -- and elsewhere around the world more lightly regulated -- more freewheeling capitalist economy. Well that's a different matter -- but so what -- that I would like to do with that."

" If you -- said if you listen to mr. Limbaugh closely he said look no economist worth a damn. We take any of these moves the -- outs all of that stuff. That's not exactly true I -- Lawrence Summers in these guys are brilliant guys they may be wrong but certainly they're not idiots. And and that he said and this is a widely held -- you listen to talk radio. It's a widely held belief on the right. That president Obama's ultimate goals -- nation into a socialist country and he wants to dismantle a capitalistic system Brit that's all over the place."

" that is all over the place and certainly it's certainly. The consequences of policies of the president has adopted would lead us more in that direction would be a as I say. More heavily taxed a more heavily regulated economy an economy that gets -- direction from Washington and -- and from and from politicians. That has traditionally been the case that would certainly be some of the effect. Of Obama care. So if you lose if he is move the nation in more in that direction so that's true as it. Whether he would but he wants to take us all -- to a pure socialist economy I would certainly have doubts about OK now you're not an ideal. You you have strongly held beliefs but I've never heard you. Analyze a situation. From a conservative or liberal viewpoint -- you don't you don't do that. Do you object when that's done. Well no because and I think it's a perfectly. Appropriate thing to do -- mean. People believe in their ideology is -- America I think for practical reasons because they think that the that for example freewheeling capitalism. I've dedicated individual liberty isn't that was better than a contract that if for the country's strong national defense of things with -- conservative. Liberals believe on the other hand. That that believes that -- the door open to too much injustice and too much inequality. And and too much danger of involving us and conflicts around the world that we shouldn't be involved in. And there were better off going in another direction those are honest ideological difference -- spring this on himself as motive."

" But here's my problem -- let's take the health care bill okay. There are left wing people in this country will support any kind of government health care -- comes out. They don't care what it says they're not gonna read it 2000 pages Nancy Pelosi spit out there nobody could possibly -- didn't figure it out it's impossible. Okay but on the left there are people -- Obama Nancy -- you want it I'm for. I don't believe that gets is anyway I think that's just -- behavior might wrong well."

" People I think cents a direction. And they sense of direction -- would -- generally sympathize and they sense in the politicians who were trying to take them there. Some -- they can trust someone that they think has the same guys that they do. And therefore they can trust of the work product of these people. Are working toward that is what people I think feel about -- Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama certain people but -- but the fact is alive and to believe that what facts look."

" got 2000 pages okay have you seen his thing."

" It is in Conley have been payments it but but not -- it'd be Venus it's incomprehensible. You don't know what they're saying. They can't say -- so that anybody can understand it -- any American is an adult I'm not gonna support something that's gonna cost a trillion dollars."

" Could put the country in bankruptcy if things don't go well economically. If I don't understand it would you but we'll do black -- knotted -- no matter how long urinary no."

" Well of course I'm bill but remember this about something that has been reduced to what's called bill language to legislative language does. Measures are always incomprehensible there are absolute -- references to -- to previous existing law and sections of the US code they are to a layman. -- look I'm not I'm not saying that's a good thing. But I'm saying that that embedded in those 2000 pages of legislative language largely incomprehensible. Is a set of concepts and that there are people in this country who mostly liberals. Who think that those concepts take this in the right direction conservatives disagree they wanna see if they don't know -- where we are going under it no no -- liberal or conservative could figure out what the direction at all it is is basically the government saying trust us. We're gonna run -- health care. Industry won six of the economy trust us. You know I would -- to myself no I'm not gonna trust you this isn't possible. I've out globally on this point I think they understand the direction. They don't understand they may not -- all the specifics and they certainly don't know and nobody really can. What the unintended consequences will be which is what I think a lot of conservatives and opponents of this are worried about. The -- intense intended consequences of -- on this scale undertaken all at once in one bill it is. That's a long history of things like that not working out very well and there it certainly bill. A very long history of new entitlement programs introduced voted in the law with cost estimates that turned out to be only a fraction of what and now -- gonna cost -- real quick on the right. Now -- even if that this was the best deal in the world. And it didn't give a fair shake to poor Americans and get them into the health care system. There will be some conservatives who oppose it because I don't like Barack Obama -- whenever he does and an amount that. There are certainly people are going to oppose this based on blind. Allegiance to a politician. Or a blind dislike about politics. -- see that all of time we've seen in the in the in the hateful nature of male senators on both sides. None of us likes it is not a particularly attractive feature of a system that's always been there and I don't think we're gonna -- that thanks very much is always -- we would like it."
