" Ed Rollins as the head GOP. Strategist the well known GOP strategist. Who joins us that we have a lot to talk to drop to about eight I know you've been watching houllier is the you know this is at the very least historic -- health -- bill -- further along than Hillary Clinton's ever was. But you're on the record saying this and it does not have fifty votes why you so sure."

" After this particular bill you're not easy to make it their own bill but this bill is dead on arrival I think the Lindsey Graham and that very clear yesterday. I think Lieberman. To the public option I don't think it's gonna sell and certainly a lot of the other funding mechanisms that are in this bill -- back in Arkansas Colonia San."

" How about the it is that this is what offends me so much and for the first time in American history. The -- if for the bill that passed the house Saturday night becomes law the federal government will force individual persons. To purchase something. The failure to purchase which. Could result in fines or imprisonment. I mean this sounds like the countries that we fought the Cold War against in Eastern Europe from 44. 289."

" But I think it's -- more outrageous element of the Bill Clinton never done this before. Any kind start down the road war mandating that people what they have to do. Behavior patterns and what -- Totally changing the ugly American functions and I think. I think got -- it wanted to make health insurance more available to people it's another thing to mandate could someone asked by Atlantic accord about quarter."

" So -- in in particular defected who didn't answer those who walks whoever 220 votes in your mind does that make -- the greatest speaker in the history of the world."

" I think I think I think mr. extent that he had a big margin. 258. Members she struggled. I give up all a lot of our own personal principals together. You know I. I would not take that as a great victory you know shoot 240. That might have been a great victory I think to a certain extent. I think she what she proved as usual the compromise our principles. Let you know I've known I've known natural."

" Well unless you know unless she is expecting a different bill to emanate from the conference committee you know where the Senate. And the house get down and and reconcile their their differences mean this proposal. That was passed by the house. Does not cover the most frequently performed. Medical procedure in all the landing procedure that is performed one. Every minute of every hour. Of every day of every week of every month of every year. And that's abortion. She must be really with the pro abortion. Wing of the Democratic Party this morning."

" I'm sure phone rang nonstop since opens this Friday night. Saturday and that was passed and it's going to be a fight -- people this is a nation people who feel very strongly on both sides. And you're not gonna find anybody that that's polite swinging away from this. It's. You know and that's been one of the one of the little conscious issues through the long long period of time I think both sides will be -- energized them."
