10:00 pm
but first, i want to ask but your treat. a recent tweet says barack obama played golf yesterday. now he heads to a 10-day vacation in martha's vineyard. nice work ethic. >> the fact is, he takes more vacations than any human being i have ever seen. they used to complain about george bush. but he has exceeded george bush and we are not through the year. he likes vacation. >> greta: obviously tdoesn't send a good message if the american public thinks he likes, quote, a vacation. >> it's a bad message. we have a counselry going to hell in a hand basket. what's happening to this country is horrible. all over the world, they are talking about it and we have a president, whether it's martha's vineyard or somewhere else, constantly on vocation. all the time, on vacation. i think it sends a very, very bad message. we have to work in this country to bring it back. >> does he get any credit from you, the fact that right now, he's on a tour around three
10:01 pm
states in minnesota, and iowa, illinois and not to lay out a financial plan, but to listen to what people have to say. >> it's also a fund-raising tour. he is trying to raise funds. and he's using a beautiful boeing 747, the aircraft of choice. i think it's pretty sad where the taxpayer's paying for his trips to raise money. really, what he is doing is fund-raising and what he has been doing quite well is raising funds. although inconceivable that people are putting up money. it is hard to believe that people are putting up money to get him re-elected. if it's a campaign, the people shouldn't pay for it. if it's official white house business, that's different. >> well, that's different. he is campaigning. i can't imagine that anybody believes he's doing a good job as president. but he is using air force 1, a boeing 747, the most expensive plane you can fly -- just about -- and why isn't his
10:02 pm
campaign paying for this? really. why doesn't his campaign pay for a boeing 747. i think it's very unfair. >> >> greta: he's given a lot of speeches, but one of the questions is whether the congress should be sent back to washington. he said, it's time for the games to stop. some folks are asking me, well, why don't you call congress back? i said, i don't think it will make people feel encouraged that congress comes back and all they are doing is arguing again. >> i think that's leadership. i also heard him say he wants the congress to talk to their people so when they come back, they know what to say and how the people feel. they know what to say. they don't have to intend a month and-a-half at home. they know already. they know without spending any time. the country needs leadership. we are not getting it from president obam. >> greta: is there anything he's doing right now about being a leader that you agree with?
10:03 pm
>> well, i mean, the only thing i can give him credit for is campaigning. he's a good campaigner. not a great campaigner because hillary almost beat him. he's a good fund-raiser. i give him credit for that. as far as leading the country, the country's being led into oblivion. >> greta: now the other issue i want to talk about, the news breaking over the weekend that when osama bin laden was killed on may 2 that, of course, we had a disabled stealth helicopter left behind. now the news that pakistan let china look at the stealth helicopter and will do reverse engineering and now they are light years ahead in their technologies -- from us. >> it is not hard to believe. that's leadership. we allow countries to take advantage, whether it's opec nations, whether it's china, certainly pakistan. but look at pakistan. we give them hundreds of billions of dollars, they do nothing for us. china is ripping us like
10:04 pm
nobody's ripped us, excepts opec. the opec nations are really doing a number. oil should be at $30 a barrel. it's close to $90. it should be $30. if the free market were there, if the guys didn't sit around the table, oil would be $30 a barrel and it will soon be over $90. if it goes unchecked, it will be $100 and $110 and here we go again. every time we start to make a little progress, the opec guys sit around a table and they say, ah, they are making a little money, let's take it from them. they raise the price of fuel. it's a big factor. they raise the price of fuel. we have to do something. we need people that know what they're doing. >> greta: all right. the helicopter, obviously, we want our -- our military to get out of there quickly when the helicopter was disabled on may 2, i don't know if they could have blown it up. i assume that was considered and
10:05 pm
rejected and they got out of there, leaving the stealth helicopter is something we apparently had to do. but once it's left behind, is there anything in your mind we should have done to prevent the pakistanis from showing the chinese? >> well, i think we should have had people there and called ahead of pakistan and said, we don't want anyone seeing that helicopter. it hit the back. the back hit a wall. it's too bad that happened. but certainly, we should have let pakistan know we don't want anyone looking, whether it's them or china. what's happened and a friend of mine who is very good at this stuff said that we spend billions on the stealth technology and china get its for nothing. pakistan gave it to china. china, as usual, got it for a bargain price. the united states is the loser -- as always. >> obviously, you don't think president obama's being a leader. take a look at the republican -- at least right now, the group they are running for president, in the run. who has the leadership that you
10:06 pm
like, admire? >> i know a lot of them. i know michele bachmann. she came to trump tower a month ago. she was great. she was a wonderful person. we had a great time. i don't know if sarah palin's running. i like her a lot. i think she is a very good woman. we had the famous pizza incident -- >> what's the difference between the two, for you? >> there is not that much difference. they're strong. they get unfairly maligned by the media. i was watching there weekend on "meet the press," i watched michelle get absolutely -- she was so badly treated on "meet the press." i watched that. >> greta: in what way? >> just unfairly. the group went after her. it was so unfair. michelle was so unfairly treated, i have never seen anything like it. and that's what happens to sarah palin also. so -- >> and hillary clinton? >> i think bachmann has done well.
10:07 pm
>> i don't think hillary's treated in the same way. she's a friend of mine. i think the way that miss bachmann's been treated and the way miss palin's been treated, i think they have been treated very, very unfairly by the press. >> greta: why? >> i don't know. you ask me. they are conservative women. i think that's probably why. >> greta: take governor perry's jumped in the race. does that change the dynamics? i realize it's early on and there is a lot of information we need to learn as the months go on. >> it's very early. i think he is a good man. i have known him over the years. i spoke to him two days ago. he called me on something. i think he's really serious. i think he will do a good job. i don't know romney. the one i don't know is romney. but i think that... i think that perry's going to do a good job. >> how come you don't know romney? >> he's the only one that doesn't call. i poke to him years ago. but, you know...
10:08 pm
hey, sarah palin calls. michele bachmann calls. romney doesn't call. so that's okay. >> greta: what does that mean? >> that means probably he doesn't like me or i shouldn't like him. i don't know. it's not about that. it's really about replacing obama. it really is about replacing obama. you have to get -- with this country, it is going to be in trouble like it's never been before. it already is. you need great leadership. you need somebody that's going to stop the constant ripoff of the united states. we can't afford this anymore. the world is ripping us off. i think the biggest single problem that we have is that the world -- from a business standpoint -- is ripping us off. we are like patsies, like the big bully that gets beat up. the world is taking advantage of the united states. countries like columbia made $4 billion last year against the united states.
10:09 pm
now they want a new trade pact where they make more. we have these characters negotiating. i don't know, do they know anything about it? we have some of the greatest businessmen in the world. in my opinion, the greatest. if we put individual, incredible people -- of which i know 25 -- i know the 25 best. i could give you a list. and if we took our great business leaders and put them in charge of china, one, somebody else in charge of japan. you look at what's going on. japan has their own problems now. but you look at india, where the outsourcing. you call up american express, you want to find out about your credit card. it's very possible you are talking to somebody from india. why aren't you talking to somebody from alabama? or from iowa? or from many other places? or from new york? the country is being ripped off and ripped to shreds by every single country that we do business with. the worst abuser is clina.
10:10 pm
but i guess even maybe worse than them, are the opec nations as a whole because nobody has abused the united states like opec. and certain other countries, by the way, have been abused by opec to a large extent. second to opec would be china. and if we don't stop that, we are not going to have a country. >> i asked you about the difference between governor palin and representative bachmann -- i don't want to be sexist and pit the two women against each other, but in terps of leadership skills like michele bachmann who won the straw poll over the weekend. how do her leadership skills translate and how do you compare it to the men? >> michele bachmann was in trump tower one month ago. i was very impressed with her, i have to tell you -- >> greta: why? >> her demeanor was absolutely great. her way was wonderful. i thought she was terrific. i think she ran a fantastic
10:11 pm
campaign thus far. people who were taking her lightly are not taking her so lightly. sarah palin we know. the question with sarah is whether or not she is going to run. and i personally think no. yet, there are a lot of people who like her. you look at polls and she's very popular in the polls and certainly in the republican party polls. so i don't know whether or not -- >> greta: how about the men? bring the men into this description. >> i think pawlenty was great to be dropped out. i think he missed his opportunity when they gave him in the softball question about romneycare and he refused to answer the way he did before. i think it's a positive that he's out. you have some very good people. but it's very early to say see. you have to see how they handle the heat and the scrutiny and the pressure. i think it's very, very early to say. romney -- i don't -- you know, i known some negative things about romney. the state wasn't doing great in massachusetts when he was governor. but maybe there are reasons for
10:12 pm
that. popularitywise, he wasn't the most popular governor in this country. rick perry has a couple of pretty good sound bites because jobs in texas -- they weren't great jobs, but jobs are jobs at this point. he did a very effective, and he's been an effective governor of texas. some of the other folks, i really get a kick out of ron paul. i like a lot of what he says. you can't like everything. i like a lot of what he says. i think he is going to have a hard time. but i sort of, you know, really understand a lot of what he is saying. and a lot of what he is saying is not incorrect. >> how about speaker gingrich? >> well, you know, i have a lot of respect for him. but it's not resonating. he's a member of my club in washington. i have a great club, trump national. i really like him. i think he's been treated harshly, if you you go to "meet the press," again, i thought his answer was made into a disaster
10:13 pm
when perhaps it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a disastrous answer. he got very badly hit there. i think he's a really smart guy. doesn't seem to be catching on. >> senator rick santorum? >> you know, when you are a sitting senator and you lose your election to pennsylvania by 19%, i don't think you should be running for president. so i think, you know, he's just obviously not catching on. >> greta: today, one last question, warn buffett and op-ed in the new york times, he says the super wealthy are paying -- he's paying 17% income tax. many americans are paying profoundly more. he says the super rich are not taxed enough. you are a rich guy. what do you think? >> i have a lot of respect for warren buffett. i like him. i think that everyone has different feelings. i have rich people who think he's right. a lot of rich people say they are not going to work and they are going to move to other countries and do other things.
10:14 pm
there are lots of sides to that argument. do i think this, when exxon mobil, which is a monster company making a fortune and in cahoots, no question about it with opec, which is our number-1 abuser. when exxon mobil is paying very little tax, which they are. and when exxon mobil and the other oil companies are subsidized by the united states government, that's ridiculous. >> greta: how does that happen? nobody thinks a rich company should be paying no tax. >> to think that if exxon had to pay tax, they would stop looking for oil is ridiculous. when you think of it, many of those company it's and i am not blaming exxon, but many companies are in cahoots with opec. that's how opec gets rid of their oil. to think that we are subsidizing the biggest oil companies in the world and giving them low taxes -- they ought to pay a lot of taxes. >> greta: it was reported that the unemployment rate for teens
10:15 pm
in the district of columbia is north of 50%. >> that's a very frightening number. if you look at tit's a horrible number. it's a very sad thing. i feel very badly about t. i is that you number. this country, look, all of our problems can be solved with a great economy. if we can get this economy roaring again, which it should be, if we can get the world to stop taking advantage of us, which they are, if we can get fuel down to $30 as opposed to $ninety and $1land and it will be $150 because we have nobody talking. if we can get this country going again and the economy really going again, all of a sudden, medicare and medicaid and social security -- people are not going to be discussing it. they will be solid as a rock. that's what we have to be doing. but we have to get the world from ripping us off. they are ripping us, greta. unless we get them to stop -- and it's really easy to do it, we can never have a great country again.
10:16 pm
>> how do you explain to the teen who is are not getting a job -- >> all of a sudden, they will have jobs. >> greta: but will they inspired? >> i was all for obama, when he won, i wanted him to be the greatest president. one thing i thought about him when he got elected was that he would be an inspirational president. he's really not. he has turned out to be the opposite. i thought that the one thing he really had was to be a great cheerleader. he's not a great cheerleader. if anything, he's a negative person. he talks about the republicans and the democrats and it's congress's fault and it's everybody's fault but his own. he's a negative person. i really thought he was going to be totally inspirational. he's not. >> donald, thank you. nice to see you. >> thank you very much. >> there is much more on donald trump. the entire interview will be posted on gretawire.com.
10:17 pm
>> and a tea party crashed the president's party, demanding to know why the president and vice-president biden said the tea party was acting like terrorists. we have the exchange. you will hear the tape. and you decide, next. is president obama gambling with your money and your health care isn't president's planning to fight for his health care law and why keeping the supreme court out of the picture for now could cost you lots of money and lots of uncertainty. and pam bondl is heading up a multi-state suit. she is here to go "on the record." [ male announcer ] this...is the network --
10:18 pm
a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more amecans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... f greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say.
10:19 pm
it's the at&t network... over time, my lashes thinned. after 40, i didn't have enough lashes. i'd heard of latisse® but had questions. my doctor said... latisse® is the only fda approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough lashes. now with latisse® my lashes are longer, darker, with more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. if you are using or have used, prescription products for eye pressure problems, use latisse® under close doctor care. latisse® use may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. if you experience eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor. common side effects include itchy eyes and eye redness. i trust latisse® and i use it too. my lashes changed as i got older. now i use latisse®. more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. are your lashes thinning as you get older?
10:20 pm
why wait? ask your doctor about latisse® from allergan, a company with 60 years of eye care expertise.
10:21 pm
>> greta: president obama hits the road today to talk jobs but got involved in a heated exchange with the director of iowa's tea party. >> how was your vice president calling us terrorists? >> the president: i will explain. he did not call you guys terrorists. what he said was that for us to be -- [ inaudible ] the truth of the matter is -- [ inaudible ]
10:22 pm
[ inaudible ] >> a balanced budget is reasonable. where were you during the balanced year? no, no, but all he was saying was -- [overlapping dialogue] >> stay strong. >> he wasn't objecting to the balanced budget amendment. he was objecting to defaulting. >> pass the balanced budget amendment. we could pass that and nothing else. >> it doesn't sound like you are interested in listening. listen. >> greta: was the man making a point or just heckling the president? should the president have engaged him? did he have a choice.
10:23 pm
dana, what do you think? >> a lot. it is not always easy for the president to defend something your vice president said or did. number two, i think i'm uncomfortable with this, because i think -- obviously there's frustration. the guy has a lot of passion. it is all built up. we have crossed a line that i'm uncomfortable with. i think had i been in the line, you swallow the anger, nice to meet you mr. president, moving on. that said, i think president obama and his team also were the first ones to make things so political from the very beginning. even after they won. they made everything about partisanship. this is the price you pay. i do not think president obama should have gone on this bus tour. they have nothing to sell. there's no big idea. i can't really understand why they didn't move him on, on the rope line keep it going.
10:24 pm
instead now we have this video that we can play over and over again. it makes me uncomfortable. i wouldn't have wanted to be the president. >> greta: he has a plan he says he's not releasing until september. >> today we hear, remember the president [ unintelligible ] last february it was so milquetoast when paul ryan's budget came out, a month later president obama did a redo and did his budget. now everybody complaints he hasn't had a debt ceiling -- let the republicans do it they complain they don't have a plan. on jobs, why do the bus tour now? why not after you announce big new program that he's going to announce in september? once again, they will build up expectation to the point they won't be able to meet them and we'll have graphics and music and we are going to be releasing the planned watch. and it will not have the impact they want it to have. >> greta: another note.
10:25 pm
president clinton had expressed his view of governor rick perry an noing he will run for president. president clinton said this about governor perry's an ment: i got tickled by watching governor perry announce for president. he's a good looking rascal. >> that is proving that president clinton is one of the best politicians in history. that got him where he needed to be. he doesn't comment necessarily. he's going to let president obama do that. he could say something that is an obvious truth. rick perry is a good looking guy. >> greta: is he a rascal? >> it is a good word. for some people on the one hand that is a good word. you want somebody to stir things up. it could also mean something else coming from president clinton, you never know. >> greta: president clinton would always rise above in a sense. he was never too
10:26 pm
confrontational. >> from what i recall, i don't remember -- he could be very partisan. when you are head of the party, you have that role at certain places. but he didn't bring that into the white house from what i remember. i think that there has been a line has been crossed. now president obama is the head of the party. he's going to have to walk a lot of lonely rope lines like he did today. where he's going to be heckled. personally, i'm uncomfortable with it. i think i would have tried to move him on. i understand the frustration, but i wouldn't have said what they said. >> greta: big news in iowa, at least for representative bachmann winning the straw poll now on to new hampshire. very different environment. very different electorate. she obviously -- obviously the people in iowa in the republican party loved her enough to make her number one in this round. how is she going to do in new hampshire and what does she have to do? >> first congratulations
10:27 pm
because she didn't start runninging in iowa until 2 1/2 months ago. it is interesting and wonderful for her that said, one of the things that is key between now and new hampshire is raising money. does the ames straw poll get you more donations? maybe a few, but maybe not enough. new hampshire is going to be an expensive race. one of the people who has been in the race so long, mitt romney is one of the favorite sons there. governor huntsman might be stronger, he will have to be. rick perry could do well there. >> greta: you have strong evangelical in iowa more her base. then you have new hampshire, big country, [ talking over each other ] >> an example from my former boss, george w. bush in 2000. won iowa, handily in the caucuses and lost terribly in new hampshire and had to really regroup and get his
10:28 pm
campaign back on a stronger foot win in . that could ham again -- footing to win in south carolina. that could happen again here. i'm surprised there are five debates between now and october. if you want to be a candidate you don't even have to file until the end of november. so you have time to get in your paperwork. >> greta: i'm not third few. dana nice to see you. >> a court of appeals decision rocks the white house. it isn't just the loss that might worry the white house, it is something else. florida attorney general pam bondi goes on the record. >> what about jobs! should you worry about yours? should you worry about yours? dennis kneale is here to talk

>> greta: did president obama dag his feet going to the supreme court? if he does who is he thinking of? friday he got dealt a blow when the court held 2-1 that the individual mandate in the new health care law is unconstitutional. two months earlier, another court of appeals, 6th circuit decided the opposite. now the president has to make a decision. either go to the supreme court right away and ask them to decide this important matter as soon as possible or he can drag it out, probably past election 2012, by going back to the entire 11th circuit court and asking them to rethink what the 11 judges decided friday.
10:33 pm
florida attorney general pam bondi joins us from tallahassee. any word from the justice department? going to the 11th circuit court or the supreme court right away? >> greta, all the states, all 26 states national federation of independent business, no word yet from department of justice. if president obama tries to make this political, just like he did with the debt ceiling, look what his goal was with the debt ceiling to drag it out until after 2012. we hope he doesn't do that here and make this political. we have a bipartisan decision, by two judges in favor of our ruling. this needs to get to the supreme court as soon as possible. it is morally indefensible and ethically indefensible if he places politics over our constitutional rights. >> greta: as a practical
10:34 pm
matter i read in baltimore sun the state of married land got 27 million dollars friday to begin developing insurance exchanges. if it goes to the supreme court and the supreme court agrees with the 11th circuit, declares this mandate unconstitutional, there's a serious gutting of this law. people have to rethink this. there's a practical reason for taxpayers. we know the supreme court is going to decide it one way or the other. >> greta, that's right. 27.2 million to maryland, a total of 185 million dollars went out friday to states. i'm proud that in florida governor scott is not taking any of this money. because this is unconstitutional this is what we've been saying all along. we are not getting wrapped up in money. it also affects our businesses. businesses aren't wanting to hire. the heritage foundation just did a study that showed there was a correlation between
10:35 pm
obamacare passing and people being hired dropping the number of people being hired. you are right, everyone is getting tied up in this money. that's why it has to go to the supreme court as soon as possible. it is in the best interests of all americans, all businesses and to me that's the most important thing right now. >> greta: it would not be unusual to go to the full court that's the legal advice. that may not be the -- perhaps not a good decision for america as we stand by and spend money. he might -- [ unintelligible ] that is one issue he has a right to ask the full court to decide this. >> however, if you recall, initially, we asked the 26 states, national federation of independent business, we asked that the court hear this, all
10:36 pm
the judges at once. you know who objected? the federal government. they didn't want it to be heard. they didn't want all the judges to hear it at the same time. interesting now if they go back, because they lost, they want to do that to drag it out past 2012 election. we need get to the supreme court. >> greta: we should explain to the viewers. there's a certain number of days, for the federal government to make a decision whether to go immediately to the supreme court or ask for a full court if they decide 11th circuit, we will not get to a position of getting the matter to the supreme court by january 1st. so it is not going to be decide today in the term for the supreme court which will necessarily bring us past 2012. >> past the election you are right. we are all meeting. we are meeting with paul clement former solicitor general under president bush who argued the case for us. we are all meeting, discussing our options.
10:37 pm
we all have the goal of getting it to the supreme court as soon as possible and taking politics out of this. >> greta: we should remind the viewers 6th circuit decided differently on the individual mandate. you asked to have the entire statute thrown out. the 11th circuit only held in your favor determining the individual mandate is unconstitutional, am i right? >> yes, they did. even the federal government has acknowledged that without the mandate, the rest of it basically can't stand. of course, we hope that they would have thrown out the entire thing. but, without the pan day, they can go anywhere. they've even acknowledged that. >> greta: it takes away the funding unless you do one of two things, go massively into debt or massively raise taxes those are the choices. >> exactly. >> greta: let us know when you hear from the justice department, thank you pam. >> thank you greta.
