the president asked the speaker to assemble the congress wednesday. the speaker said wednesday wouldn't work. he suggested thursday. that's when the stand off began. when is the president going to unveil his jobs plan? this is another problem for the president. it is now set for the following night, thursday september 8th that is the opening night at -- of the nfl season. the packers take on the saints. not great timing for the president. we'll have more on this first we asked donald trump what he thinks. >> they keep playing games, both sides, not just the president. we need jobs. we don't need speeches. he loves making speeches. i don't think he loves producing jobs many he hasn't produced jobs. i think people are tired of hearing his speeches. get he's been critical of the gamesmanship and republicans likewise of him. republican gop debate has been scheduled for sometime. his request just went in today.

>> i think it is terrible. they could have waited one night or done it the night before. they could have done it during instead of vacationing it could have done it. frankly, he should have brought them back early instead of everybody relaxing over the summer. our country is in trouble. we don't have jobs. our jobs are being produced and had in foreign countries whether it is china, india, mexico. we should be focused on that. they shouldn't have spent a nice leisurely summer. now all of a sudden they have this one moment to give a speech the same time as the republican debate. look, both sides are playing games and our country is in trouble. it should stop. >> greta: is this a campaign speech? which is what his critics would say or is this something americans people need to hear from him in primetime? >> everything he does is a campaign speech. i'm not knocking that if he has the advantage he's got the

advantage of being the president. when he speaks, everything he says seems to be really tailored to the campaign. we need less speech, more action. >> greta: what is the more action company >> you got to stop foreign countries from taking our jobs. number two, you've got to stop opec from raising the price of oil every single time our economy starts to get a little better. our economy essentially can never be good. every time it gets better opec raises the price of oil. i got a memo the other day i said that on another show, amazing that i do other shows, but i do other shows. >> greta: a little bit we permit it. >> i said that on another show a friend wrote a memo he has a huge shipping company. he said you are right. every time we hear good news about the economy, opec raises the price of oil. so it saps all of the energy out of us.

it is terrible. you have to handle opec and it wouldn't be tough. you have to stop jobs from essentially going to china. they make our products. they manipulate their currency. what they do to us is like they are dealing with children. they look at our leaders as being children. they are dealing with children. and you have to stop china. if you look at every country -- you know, even japan. somebody said japan they have trouble. sure they have trouble. for years they've been making the cars. how many chevrolets do you think are bought in japan? i can tell you very few. you look at what these countries are doing us to. and the number one culprit of course is opec. but the real culprit in terms of manufacturing is china. >> greta: in terms of our economic situation which of course is devastating many americans. there's the question of whether or not if we are in such a poor economic situation whether or not we lose our

moral authority or ability to have great world influence. we become a lesser country in that way in terms of influence. is that an important issue or not? >> i think it is an important issue. we are a lesser country. we are not respected. our leader is not a respected man throughout the world. we have a great military. getting weaker all the time. we want to defund our military. everybody talks about cutting military. we need our military more than we've ever needed it. you look at what is going on in the world today. everybody wants to cut military. we shouldn't be cutting military we should be making our military stronger. we've got to spend money on rebuying our country. we can continue with afghanistan, building the -- building the bridge -- >> greta: sounds like a stimulus program. >> we have to rebuild our country. stop rebuilding iraq which today -- which the day we leave iran is going to take over because we are not smart enough to figure out what to do. i've said from the beginning

in iraq they have the largest oilfields in the world except for saudi arabia. we should reimburse ourselves. we should take it. >> greta: why didn't we? >> we don't have intelligent leadership. very simple. >> greta: we had president bush republican, president obama democrat. nobody suggested that we get reimbursed. >> it is interesting, when we first went into iraq, smart people said it for the oil. it want for the oil. the fact is, they have the second largest oil reserves in the world. and these people are going to make a fortune. you know who? iran. because we've totally knocked out their armies, the iraqi army, wiped them out. so iran after hundreds of years going back and forth fighting, equal nations, they are going to walk in the day we leave, they take over the oil reserves. i hope you play this wac in two, three years. i never hear -- hear it from anyone else. >> greta: where is this oil

now? >> they don't know how to take it themselves. look, the minute we leave that whole thing going to fall apart. iran will take it. >> greta: leave now, wait, what would you do? >> i would take the oil. some people think that's a radical solution. somebody said that is a sovereign country. what is a sovereign country? we spend 1.3 trillion dollars in iraq. we should at least reimburse ourselves. i would say much more. somebody else would be more modest. we get nothing. what do we get out of it? iran will take over the minute we leave. as sure as you are standing there, iran will take over the iraqi oilfields and iraq as soon as we leave. >> greta: what would you do about iran? >> i would take a tough stance. they are developing nuclear warheads no question in my mind from everything i read. i would take a very tough stand. now, they have no respect for

obama. they have no respect for our leadership. they can did whatever they want. watch what happens with libya. iran is going to take libya. a lot of so-called rebels, this glamorous term, they are backed by iran. what are we doing? >> greta: tell me what we're doing? >> we've spent billions in libya to get rid of gadhafi. let's see if the alternative is going to be worse. again, when the rebels came in, i told this to somebody in common business. the rebels are being decimated, correct? like four, five weeks ago. gadhafi going through them like nothing. they come begging for help. nato, which is us, essentially, says okay we'll help and start dropping missiles. the rebels didn't have to do much. these people got wiped out by our great missiles and military. now what happens?

they go in, if you would have said three months ago when they came for help, we are going to help you. we want 50% of the oil. they would have said how about 75%? we'll give you that too. we don't ask for anything. we've spent billions of dollars helping these people to overthrow gadhafi, we get nothing. why when they came to us, 90 days ago, why didn't we say, we are going to help you, we want 50% of the oil? you know what they would have said. thank you very much, we'll take it. >> greta: why didn't we do that? >> because we are stupid. we don't have the right leaders. we don't have intelligent leadership. we have politicians and diplomats. and they add up to nothing and we could have had that. just think of it. you are sitting there, you are the president. they want help. you don't even know who they are. a lot of people say they come from iran, from here, from all over the place. a lot of people say they fought us in iraq. these are the rebels.

they come in and look, gadhafi was a bad guy. i understand gadhafi. i mean i had personal experience with gadhafi which worked out okay. but the truth is, we don't know who these people are. they come for help because they are being wiped out quickly and effectively. we say we are going to help you. we want 50% of the oil. they would say absolutely. if you went to them now and said we want to take some oil, they would say how dare you suggest that. we are a sovereign nation. because we already did the job. soon they won't need us any more. unbelievable -- unbelievable stupidity. >> greta: how do you know gadhafi? >> well gadhafi paid me a lot of money to pitch a tent on one of my properties and he never got to use it. so i took his money. he never got to use it, which i like. in bedford, new york. >> greta: he was here for the u.n..

what if the palestinians seek statehood unilaterally from the u.n.? >> you got to protect israel. we are not protecting israel properly. going back to iran the number one culprit. they will have missiles that can wipe out israel. we are not protecting israel. we have to protect israel. it is our only real ally in the middle east. -- it is our look what we did to our wonderful leader in egypt who was outwardly, whether he loved israel or not behind the scenes, let's assume he didn't. at least he was somewhat of an ally to israel. he helped israel. look at what is going to happen with respect to egypt and israel. you can already see it. the level of hatred and animosity egypt now has for israel. unbelievable. instead of helping them to keep their power, we make it possible for him to be over thrown. now he's sitting in a cage in

a courthouse. he will probably be sentenced to death. and our other allies watch that and they say what kind of an ally is the united states? why should get -- why should we got with the united states when they look at egypt? >> greta: how do we protect israel? there is talk about the palestinian seeking statehood when the u.n. meets in september. >> you protect israel by having a country that is . we are not respects. >> greta: we don't have much time. >> we need a new president. we don't have much time. i told you once before, the election coming up with president obama and whoever, is outside of a couple that were beauties, lincoln, washington. outside of a couple, majors, it is the most important election this country ever had. this country is at a tipping point if it falls off that cliff it is going to be very hard to get it back.

>> greta: always circles back to money and economics. the president just chose another economist, not a businessperson to run the national economic council. what is the difference between an pinning a businessperson and an economist? -- >> he has a choice to appoint whoever he wants. this gentleman is from princeton, smart guy, he has certain obama-type views. that's why he is president he gets to make that choice. the fact is, our leader has to lead many he has to get the republicans in line. he has to get the democrats in line. >> greta: are you saying it doesn't matter who he appoints? >> it doesn't. we need smart leadership at the top. that position is wonderful but the key is the presidency. we have to get china to stop ripping us. they are going to make 300 billion plus on us this year. and, manufacturer our products and take our jobs. and they do it through

manipulation of their currency. we have to get other countries -- we don't make good deals with anybody. look at colombia in south america, they made four billion dollars on us last year. look at south korea, we protect them and they make a fortune. i want to buy a television set, there's one right there. if i want to buy a television set, it is made probably -- >> greta: is it all business deal to you or is there some level -- >> no it is not about business. to do what we need to do to safe social security, to save medicare, which is a good program, tremendous fraud, tremendous abuse but the program and the concept. program is grey. medicaid, to save all these things we have to be a rich country. we are not a rich country any more. to have a great military we have to be a rich country. we are a poor country, it is not about business.

but it is about making our country great again. if we don't make our country great and if we don't make our country rich again we can't have a great military. you see where china is now making their own aircraft carriers and all sorts of military weaponry. this was unthink able. so, you have to be respected -- respected as a country that starts with the leadership. when people say, but it is not about business. it is not about business. we cannot let the world rip us off. and they are dog that economically. we cannot -- and they are doing that economically we cannot have the great medicare the great medicaid, social security, all of these programs and an unbelievable great military which we must have unless we are a rich country again. we can't be rich if the entire world is eating our carcass. >> greta: have you given up on president obama? every time we get a new

president we have great hopes have you given up on the thought of him being the leader you want him to be? >> the funny thing i thought he was going to be a great cheerleader. i thought the one thing he had going. i thought he was going -- like a great football coach. i thought he was going to get this country back and root them on. whether the decisions are right or wrong, i thought country would have spirit. this country has never had less spirit. he goes on vacation not bad to take vacations. i don't like to take vacations but not bad to take vacations. but it was a mistake to go there and spend that much time. the only thing that shook him out of the vacation was the hurricane. to spend that much time taking a vacation when we really have a 21% jobless it is not 9.1%. the real number is 21% or something in that neighborhood. he shouldn't have been there. and he shouldn't have taken

that long of a vacation. i thought the one thing he was going to do is spirit, the spirit of this country. and he doesn't do it. >> greta: could he still do it? >> i guess i could still do it. he's got time left. i would be very happy to see him do i. the republicans, i'm not seeing a lot in terms of -- >> greta: you talk to governor perry? >> governor perry, governor romney, michelle bachmann yesterday they called. they are all terrific people. but it is a long time before the election. in the meantime, a lot of bad decisions are being made by the republicans. this super committee is an insane idea. it is never going to work. only political people put in there to do a job. why couldn't they have just come to a conclusion and cut four to five trillion dollars at the beginning and solve this problem? then you wouldn't have had the

s&p fiasco. i'm not a big fan of s&p by the way. nevertheless, if you have over four trillion dollars they would have probably not come out with a negative rating. which would have been nice if they didn't. they shouldn't have any way. when i see what is going on in this country, the world is laughing. they are laughing at our country. and they are laughing at our leadership and it is too bad. >> greta: how much did you get for that tent that gadhafi never occupied? >> he paid me a lot of money for one night. it was a big story at the time. i was very proud. because he never got to occupy it. so i took his money. >> greta: how much? >> i don't want to say, but a lot. >> greta: more than $100,000? >> yes. >> greta: more than $300,000. >> a lot of money for one night. >> greta: did you pay for the tent? >> no he brought his own tent. he didn't live in tents too often.

>> greta: straight ahead, hear what one congressman said about the tea party? you will, we have it on tape. here's a hint, it is really ugly. >> herman cain is here to go on the record. he has a jobs plan for you. >> president obama can't just show up and give a speech at the capitol. he needs an invitation. he asked for one this wednesday but he got one for thursday. what does tucker carlson think about this? we ask him. >> announcement in wisconsin it has to do with governor walker's collective barginning law. stay tuned. now, when you want powerful wifi, you've got it. with aerizon mobile hotspot, you can connect up to 5 wifi devices to the internet with lightning-fast verizon 4g lte speed. a gaming device. mp3 pler. connect any 5 for wifi on the go. get the 4g lte mobile hotst now for only $49.99. verizon is the place with the largest selection of 4g lte devices.

>> greta: tea party activists if you are watching, buckle. tea party activists may have thought they've heard it all. vice president said the tea party acted like terrorists in the debt ceiling debate. maxine waters verbally smacked the tea party telling them they should go straight to hell. congresswoman wilson not wanting to be left out said the real enemy is the tea party. -- do the insults get worse? they just did. check out what representative carson said about the tea party.

. growth get we invited kong -- >> greta: we invited congressman carson but he declined. joining us herman cain. nice to see you. >> happy to be here. >> greta: i called you herman, i don't know whether to call you mr. cain now you are a presidential candidate. mr. cain or herman? >> mr. cain or herman greta for you either one is okay. >> greta: let's stick with mr. cain while you are running. now the question. this is automatic war. obviously, you are an african-american man this is a sensitive -- sensitive topic. the comment made bay in congressman what is the appropriate response and what do you think? >> it was despicable. it was disgusting. and i was desperate.

you see, -- and it was desperate. democrats have no results to run on. they have no plans that are working. the president doesn't have any plans that working. he's broken a lot of promises. all they have left greta is name-calling. to try and intimidate those that might associate with the tea party or to intimidate those that are affiliated with the tea party that is all this is. they've taken the race card to a new low. and it is going to backfire. because the american people are sick and tired of the race card and the class warfare card. >> greta: i'd like to think that i would have the courage if everyone made a racial slur in front of me to stand up and say that's wrong. should we expect there will be those who have the courage to stand up to this congressman and say that's wrong? >> you are going to have people like me who is standing up and saying it is wrong and

it is despicable. whether or not you are going to have some of the others in their own party to say that that's probably not going to happen. because frankly the liberals and the democrats, they play by double standards. they are not going to say anything against that. you allow a conservative to say something, even close to that kind of remark, they are going to be calling for them to be fired. they are calling for them to resign and other things. it is a double standard. they've taken the race card to a new low. it is despicable and disgusting. where is this civility the president called for? since the president is the head of the democrat party, he should say something against those kinds of remarks. it is his responsibility. but i doubt whether he's going to say anything. >> greta: two part question what what your job plan is. this whole -- i'm sure you have seen this dust-up over what night the president would unveil his plan. some have said they -- i think

someone told me in the green room tonight it was because it is the first night congress is back. that's why he wanted to it that night. his critics say it is political mischief. or is this because it is the first night back at work for congress? >> i believe it was political mischief. he could have done it on tuesday, had everybody come back a day early. i now hear he will do it thursday. i think it was political mischief. then i think the administration and the president and his people sat back and said, what if we go up again the republican debate and our ratings are less? i don't think they wanted to play that card. i believe it was political mischief. >> greta: your job plan. we need jobs. what do you suggest and how is it different from the democratic position? >> my jobs plan starts with

recognizing that the business sector is the engine that drives growth. you have to recognize that first or none of the ideas are going to work. i've proposed a 9, 9, 9 plan. take the tax code replace with it 9% tax on corporate profits, 9% tax on personal income and 9% national sales tax. this commands the base and gets everybody involved. and more importantly, it eliminates the payroll tax and it eliminates the capital gains tax. when we do this greta, it will provide the all important ingredient that the business sector is looking for, certainty. we can no longer continue to expect businesses to invest and expand with all of this uncertainy. my 9, 9, 9 plan, livelies the playing field. expands the base and stops politicians from being age to pick winners and losers. that will i go this economy

going. one other point quickly. this economy is on life support. that's why my plan is as bold as it is. we don't need another speech from the president that is going to layout some broad principles. the american people can't keep waiting. which is why i put my plan on the table. >> greta: mr. cain, thank you very much. i'm sure we'll have you back. we have a lot to talk about between now and election day. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. >> greta: why did president obama want to unveil his plan wednesday? congress' first day back at o or mischief? we'll ask tucker carlson. >> jenkins has somethin

>> greta: speaker boehner tells the president no he can't give his speech wednesday. the president agrees to move his speech to thursday day the speech has to do with jobs. some accused the president of playing politics by asking to speak the same night as the ran debate. speaker boehner pushed back and told him to move it one day later. the president agreed. now the president faces another hurdle, he's going up against the nfl's opening game. joining us tucker carlson.

what do you think tucker? >> it is impossible to foe for certain the president's moat -- to know for certain the president's motivation. the facts are these that debate has gotten a lot of publicity at the reagan library it has been planned for months. the white house has conceded they just made decision about the joint session speech the other day. they made it with that in mind. they knew it was happening. they took that into account when they made the decision. clearly there was a political element. senator demint one of the prime reasons the roadblocks to doing this on wednesday said you can't do this, i will attempt to stop it if you try. he said which don't need me nor speeches from president obama on unemployment this has been going on for years. send us your plan, give us a cost estimate and let us evaluate it. please no more speeches. i think that is a fair point. >> greta: this is just a guess

on my part. the president thought i will do the speech wednesday. what isi' his staff doing? didn't his staff say the gop debate is that night? where in the world is his staff in advising him? i would be so furious at my staff. had it gone forward wednesday he would have been beaten in the ratings. now he's going up against the football game thursday, likely to get beaten in the ratings. it is almost as though no one is thinking. they are shooting themselves in the foot at every turn. >> as you know, from the beginning his staff has had enormous faith in his ability to win people over through his speeches. he's a good speaker. they think he's a tremendous speaker. and people are bowled overby what he says. >> greta: i think that is over. >> i agree with you. they don't know that. >> greta: we were in egypt for the speech to the muslim world everything was going to be transformed that didn't play out. a lot of his speeches, we

hoped they would be enormous inspiration. even mr. cain -- actually donald trump talked about the great inspiration. i think american people are saying let's put the numbers up on the board. >> presidents don't call for speeches to the join session often. they do so on momentous occasions. bush's speech after 9/11. this president's speech on health care a couple of years ago. it is a forum in which you announce big ideas. and i think he's raised the bar for himself. i don't know what he's going to say next thursday. but it better be big. it better be good. or else it going to fall flat in a very public way. clearly, they have something in mind that the rest of us are not privy to. i think they are going to announce something that matches in largeness the setting. i think they have to. >> greta: what do you think is going to get higher ratings the super bowl champion

packers again the saints who were the super -- or an address on jobs when people are so demoralized about the employment situation? which are you putting your money on? >> from a president who does the view who is never out of limelight who never stops talking in public versus the two teams with maybe the most intense fan bases of all of football. football is going to win. i can say that with confidence. >> greta: friday afternoon we have to talk when the numbers come out. tucker, thank you. >> coming up, our government is scrambling for cash. right now congress is wasting four billion dollars. you may be clenching your teeth after this next report. >> we were told not to play with our food. wait until you see this video. straight ahead. ♪

anniversary of 9/11. i'm ainsley earhardt. now, back to greta van squand susteren. n dollars. tomorrow night you will be fuming when you see our investigation. tonight griff jenkins jess gates another part of the gao report. there's even -- investigates -- there's even more waste. >> reporter: this gao report on waste and duplication could save hundreds of billions if federal an event agencies would implement the recommendations in it. tonight we want to focus on education and job training. this report is six months old. we want to know what is being done? there are 82 separate federal perhaps to improve teacher quality across 10 different agencies administered at a cost of four billion dollars a year. you look further and find that nine of the 82 programs

support improving the quality of teaching in science, technology, engineering and math. these programs are administered across departments of education, defense, energy, nasa and the national science foundation. that's four billion dollars that would give four million students $1,000 to apply towards college tuition or buy 55 new computers for every elementary and secondary public school in the country with four billion saved. on job training. 47 job training programs costing taxpayers 18 billion dollars a year. most administered by the departments of labor, education, and health and human services. we find also 44 of those 47 programs overlap with at least one other program with a similar service such as job counseling or job searches. how many of those programs

were tested for their effectiveness? only a handful according to this report. >> 82 separate teacher training programs run by the federal government? 82! 82 separate sets of bureaucracies? sets of federal employees. none of these teacher programs have a training programs have a mit trick on them to evaluate whether or not they are successful. >> it is not enough to consolidate one, two, three or four programs. we need to look across agencies and really change the way washington works, change the way washington spends taxpayer money. become more efficient. more responsive. when you have that many programs none of them are going to work well. >> reporter: republican congressman klein is chairman of the house education and workforce community. now that we've had this report for six months you are the

chairman of the house education workforce committee what are you doing to take action to cut some of this waste and save some of these tax dollars? >> one of first thing we did when we saw the duplication and number of programs was look at the number of educational programs if the elementary and secondary education act, no child left behind. there are more than 80 of these programs. we introduced legislation and brought it to committee. it has passed the committee to eliminate 42 of those programs. some are redown dan. some haven't been funded. -- redundant. some been funded, some to a higher level we are trying to get rid of some of this waste. we'll be taking it up on the floor of the house to eliminate half of those programs in k-12 education. >> the gao as we recall recently found billions of taxpayer dollars are being on duplicative and redundant

government programs. the federal government has more than 100 different programs dealing with surface transportation issues, 100. 82 monitoring teacher quality. 80 for economic development. 47 for job training. and 17 different grant programs for disaster preparedness. i think common sense would tell us that kind of duplication and overlap is not efficient and it is not effective use of taxpayer dollars. >> you have 47 programs on job training only five were studied for effectiveness. >> right. of those 47, only three do not overlap or duplicate other programs. 44, there's some element of overlapping. >> reporter: the report was prepared under the coordination of patricia dalton, chief operating officer of the gao.
