" On this historic day. Vote for a more perfect union. Of which are founders' dreams. This bill is not what the American people want and it certainly is not what the doctor ordered. If the Pelosi health care bill passes today you probably -- lose your health insurance. You might just solution job we need to fine tune up not a major overhaul the American people deserve better than. They are worried with good reason don't -- need to pay for health care that you guys want -- you -- health -- This democratic plan is a dangerous experiment this is not only job killing bill sets today. This freedom killing him. We believe in freedom you're -- to be -- hero and the bright lights of freedom of the dimming. For decades because government continues to grow. Make history today. And vote yes on this bill. Now belatedly. Playoff berths he -- give -- hospital -- if your kitchen -- this late game. You fix the snake you don't take a wreck involved in the entire kitchen."

" Wanna try it -- to -- Come on America by this black. This is a deck collection of these standards that -- American blood. American fortunes and there is no longer in that."

" We're ready to fight we're ready to make sure that though. Need -- all right we'll have up on their side whatever you do please. Vote no for the underlined --"

" The video game --"

" liberal takeover of your health care system move forward on Saturday evening. When midnight struck in the garden of Nancy and -- America was one step closer to universal nightmare or is it. Now despite the San Francisco speaker's victory lap on Saturday night. This bill is far from becoming lost some senators already saying the bill is dead on arrival but more importantly. The trials and tribulations of the House of Representatives may not be over. Many blue dog Democrats only voted for the bill on Saturday night. After an amendment was approved that specifically address concerns that federal money may be spent on abortions by democratic congresswoman. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida said today that she expects that provision to be stripped when the bill goes through conference. And the Washington Post reported today that Colorado democratic congresswoman. Diana -- is circulating a petition. With the least forty signatures of other Democrats claiming that they won't support final passage of the bill the -- the abortion provision is taken out. As a result it appears that blows his arm twisting has actually intensified the internal war within the Democratic Party. Because without those forty Democrats the bill won't pass but without the blue dogs who supported the abortion amendment it may not pass either. And joining me tonight would much more is the author of the New York Times number one best seller catastrophe by the -- great Christmas great gift that if people haven't -- a copy of the yet. I see you literally have -- sent -- the -- But if you've got that that the senators say -- Okay Lieberman is saying that -- filibuster. You've got the -- he got in the Senate -- saying no way they gonna get a big government option -- you've got these two internal battles that I just described. But he -- well. The fight over the public."

" Option. Is is the focus at the moment of the Senate debate on the abortion provision as well. I don't personally much care about either one I think that the bill. I even with the abortion amendments and even without the public option has plenty injurious itself that would leave the Medicare cuts the huge payments by the uninsured. Up one of the provisions in the Pelosi bill is you actually can go to jail for not having health insurance. It says that if you don't have health insurance you have to pay a fine. Of two and a half percent of your income to the government and if you don't."

" You faced 250000. Dollars or five -- years in prison. He imagining your prison yard what do you inform murder -- for rape I didn't have health and."

" I don't -- I mean this is the -- well but put that nobody really knows the provision to get it all the bill changed since we got handed up -- city. So so magical -- that they think this is a big victory how they overcome these internal battles in the Democratic Party or do they not overcome. They overcome them. So we will have a -- well right now we will. If the current status of public opinion. 42 to 55 -- in the last poll 455. To 52 opposing it. If that was numbers hold and you only have a ten or fifteen point margin against the idea. This bill is gonna pass probably without a public option but it's gonna go threat."

" But if we can't move public opinion five more points in each direction. If we can knock the support down into the high thirties and -- increased the opposition up to sixty which we can do. Then I think we have been very very good chance of defeating the whole thing entirely safe even with the jail provision that not on guarantee you 90% of Americans don't know sure even with the massive Medicare cuts 500 billion dollars in this bill."

" And the massive tax increases sure which are included in this bill and penalizing business. And individuals in the bill. You're saying that the the Democrats will overcome public opinion -- it is a political suicide. I yes he's so what happened in Jersey in you so what happened in Virginia."

" I did an interesting bit of -- the other day I took the Jersey in the Virginia results and I compared them with 1993."

" And the 93 the year before the 94 wiped out when the Republicans took everything for the first time in forty years. The in Virginia race went Republican 5841."

" Same numbers is this time."

" The Jersey -- race when Republican 4948."

" This time was 4945. And so yeah it's right on track to replicate ninety's -- Morgan -- with a Democrat can walk the walk the plank well and it isn't quite."

" Clear enough to them that this is a disaster."

" We have to make it a lot clearer."

" We have to be a lot more focus to turning this thing around him that's right Dick Morris dot com please go to it. And follow the step by step advice about how to defeat them. That's -- and I can't let you go without asking about Fort Hood and this guy apparently it is that there are reports now for some period of time. That our government knew that he was trying to contact al-Qaeda -- The question then is why wouldn't they have removed him chair from this position when it. This all these questions is going to come more and more pertinent and we going to see that it's because we've tied the hands of the intelligence community. That they are so worried about stripping somebody the civil rights will be -- accused of falsely accusing somebody. And being racially insensitive. That they literally you worry themselves about being insufficient political correctness could have kept colleagues and our own government yet from stopping somebody that they knew was dangerous was -- wanna take on somebody. But as of radical Islamic roots. -- it would precisely. And I also think that the hoops that Obama has been jumping through to avoid you calling this terrorist. It's an act of violence that comparing it to the column buying shooter look you don't have to have a group to commit a terrorist act a lone wolf can do it. The difference between murder and terrorism is motivation."

" And this guy obviously had a political motivation. Which makes a terrorist a lot about the first domestic -- on American -- why won't sign let let."

" Why won't anybody say what you just said and I've said I don't know the."

" This is that this is the first attack."

" Since 9/11 minutes the consequence. Of the unilateral disarmament of Barack Obama has -- brought. To the intelligence it's not a war on terror this is a man cause disaster we can't use the phrase war -- that I would not allow to it and he's done everything -- can't. To put -- this -- psychological history is grumbling on assignment all left so he doesn't have to answer for terrorist attack Arctic good -- see -- we'll see you next Monday thanks for --"
