until then, keep it here on fox news, the most powerful name in news. and bill riley, make sureis there live at 8:00 p.m. i will be doing the duties for our business network, which if you do not have it, and demands. here is-- demand it. here is a glenn,. glenn: the giants, bloated, health-care overhaul before the recess. do we need a recess like our children? hillary clinton is inç india to broaden the strategic partnership for, as i like to call it, hour upon the detour. then, there is a giant elephant in the room -- our apology tour. $18 million, refurbishing its çrecovery.gov website.

wait until you here. -- hear. the government is stealing our liberty like a thief in the night. it is time to stand up. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- pillow, america. i would like to cut the president. -- hello, america. a little rainy for him. what do i do? what do i do? look how nervous he is. ok, the president has broken some of his campaign promises. yes, yes, ok, all right, he is not allowing five days for public comment before signing bills. in fact, nobody is even reading them, but he did not promise

that party and there are taxes for people making under his $250,000 a year. all right, goobiooboo hoo, crima river. we are on the road to healing the planet -- cry me a river. there is one presidential promise he is keeping. >> we must begin ourselves again the work of remaking america. >> seize the chance to remake this nation. we are remaking america. çglenn: look at him. i am afraid. you should be afraid, too, because here is one thing. the president is remaking america. he is not remaking itç like you thought he would. he is just making it into a place that is a whole lot crappy ier, like something between

venezuela and france. he is turning it into fiat. he is turning this into an apologetic "what can you do for me?" socialist wonderland. exhibit a, the national health- care plan. nancy pelosi got her fingers into this thing. she is now proposing to pay the $1.50 trillion -- wait for it. but for it. by taxing the rich. oh, my gosh. -- wait for it. anyone making more than $1 a year, will be paying for our government-run health care. i m six of those darn millionaires. -- i am sick of those darn millionaires. what have they ever done for society except hoard money and smoke expensive cigars and we're monocles -- wear monocles.

like donald trump. what has this guy done for anybody? he cannot wait to get his name on another tower. that is all he does. he just tires construction workers, and then they work for a long time, adjusts and he can have his name at the top. -- he just hires construction workers. then thereç is a billionaire, e of those evil rich guys, huntsman. he is probably watching this program in one of his dudgeon mansions -- his çdeozen mansions. "i am going to cure cancer." i hate him. we should tax all of their money. this is only going to cover 5 flandres 44 billion of the estimated $1.50 trillion -- this

is only going to cover $544 billion. that only leaves the one before teh point, -- the point. here is what nancy pelosi says. so, it is a millionaire's tax. when somebody hears $200,000, they think i could be there. yes, america, listen to nancy pelosi and those on the left. you will never be rich. my father was a baker. his father was a baker. i never went to college. nobody in my family went to college, and i know all of the liberals on the left are saying, "of course, he never went to college." nobody in my family ever made a dime. if i can make it, you can make it. do not let anybody else, any of these tenants, tell you

something else. i am sick and tired of people tearing thisç country down -- y of these pinheads. this is not about common sense. this is not about them fixing something. this is about them convincing you to give somebody else the shaft. stuff you should have.  own power and their control under some sort of sick, socialist system. let's go back to that one before the point. we still need to find about two- thirds of the entire bill. the administration needs to come up with this to pay for this whole health-care thing. they say it will come from savings. the government and savings. yes. like baseball, apple pie, and big mexican hat. they do not go together. the one problem with this whole

savings scheme is that while the federal government is saving, the states are going to get a shaft. they are going to get a raw deal. they stand to pick up the tab for eligibility levels. that is great. any of the payments to the doctor, benefits, that all goes to your state. gee, who can not print money and bail themselves out? i remember. your state. democrats against this bill. one governor is a democrat from tennessee. he said he feared congress was about to pass the mother of all unfunded mandates. gee, you think so? and mistake was made by the republicans and democrats. -- a mistake. why would we want to repeat that mess? the original bill from running's, what was millions of dollars -- from mitt romney's

millions of dollars. $156 million over the budget. we are friends. what is 33% over budget? our bad. you know what? it should work that well on a national scale, should it not? itç is only 200%. let's go to the nancy pelosi soak the rich policy. the state would be short about $109 million. if obama tried to pay the çmagical savings part of his health-care plan, when dollars trillion, using the entire kennedy family fortune, america would still come up about $995 billion short -- $1 trillion, using the entire kennedy family fortune. the media often misses the connections and because they do not see how all of the stories are missed in the day.

they just missed it, so let's break down this care in a nutshell. mass care in a nutshell. for years, they appointed to massachusetts as the success story when it comes to universal health care -- they have pointed to massachusetts. is it really such a success? only 2.6% of the residents are uninsured, 1/6 of the national average, the lowest level of any state, the plan is far from the beacon of hope its proponents make it out to be. government and industry officials agree the plan is unsustainable. public citizen's and physicians for national health programs released a report earlier, calling the program flopped due to its cost, lack of access to care -- called the program flawed. they say it has not reduced health care costs in the state and has proven far costlier than expected.

meanwhile, a stock analyst has said, without higher premiums or more public funding, here it is not now a great program for the entire country -- it is not a great program. they are spending more on health insurance than it did in 2006, çup 42%. how will massachusetts pay for the $1.30 billion of health care this year? oneç suggestion? increasing the tobacco tax. what a remarkable healthy idea. and that is mass care in a nutshell. i swear to you, nothing makes sense. let's tax the cigarette companies. how are we going to pay for it when everybody stops smoking? the president and ceo of the research institute and author, a citizen's guide, a fantastic

book, and michael, the director of health policy studies at the cato institute, they both join us. sally, let's start with you. wow, massachusetts is in trouble. all of the hidden costs. can you give me the kitna costs in massachusetts? >> well, the problem is that it is very much out of control, way more than they thought, and as you mentioned, a tobacco tax is up $1 a pack -- can you give me the costs in massachusetts? glenn: the whole idea was let's tax people for smoking so they do not smoke anymore, but now, with schip and everything else, we are paying for all of these programs with a smoking. the government is pretty soon going to have to start running advertisements to get children addicted to cigarettes so they can get the tax money. >> exactly. because of the tremendous cost

overruns, you know, massachusetts has the most expensive health care in the country, and they still have 2.6% of the population in massachusetts that is uninsured, and that is with an inshore and employer mandate, -- and that is with an insurerç and the emplor mandate. if 20 percent of them are having a hard time getting a doctor. -- 20% of them are having a hard time getting a doctor. 23% are still turning up at emergency rooms. they have not cut that cost. that is expensive care. people, when they cannot find a doctor, they turn up at an emergency room, so in massachusetts, it is expensive. glenn: it has got to be better care, because the wait time -- >> actually, it is getting worse.

what sally said is correct. the waiting times to seek a specialist, it is already the worst in the country, and they have gotten worse since mitt romney care was enacted. that is despite -- that is despite all of the money, the tons of money, that they are throwing at an already efficient health-care system in massachusetts the government's budget only accounts for a small percentage -- in massachusetts. the government's budget only accounts for a small percentage. $800 million of new spending shows up in the government budget. another $1 billion or more is money that the government is forcing people to spend on their own, on health insurance. glenn: come on,ç mike. that is crazy talk. the french hate their health care system because they have to

buy private insurance. when you have to do now, you will have to do this onç top of it. >> and the worst part is that with all of this additional spending, the state budget, they cannot pay for all of the promises they have made, so they will start rationing care. they have screwed down the price controls with medicaid, and that makes it harder for people on medicaid to see a doctor, and they just cut to 30,000 legal immigrants from the insurance rolls in massachusetts, so you have to make sure that you are popular. legal immigrants, and those are the ones that we presumably like, they are thrown off of the insurance rolls. glenn: that is crazy. so we do not give the old people cough medicine. >> i am a legal immigrant, from canada. it is good i am not living in

massachusetts. glenn: you like the health care in canada. i am told that all of the time. the canadians love their health care. >> move to massachusetts. they have a payment systems that they have in canada. glenn: people in canada love the health-care system. >> i am going to have to go back, obviously, because when you look at what obama is going to do, it will getç worse here. a way to control costs, they are talking about setting up a global budget for patients, doctors, hospitals, which would mean that a doctor would be paid, say, monthly or once a çyear, for the fall treatment f a patient. i sure they aren't going -- for the full treatment of a patient. i am sure they are going to like that. glenn: if we can get kids out of

school in the third grade and tell them what they are going to do, maybe train them for weightlifting or gymnastics for the olympics, and that we could tell them, "you are going to be a doctor." i am getting calls, on my radio program telling me, "i am intern," or "i am a doctor." all of the doctors are saying the same thing. get out. if this thing comes, no reason to be a doctor. >> canadians have an escape valve. they come here. >> what they're talking about is a perfectly legitimate way of paying doctors. what is scary about what they are doing in massachusetts is that that is going to be the only choice, so what they are doing is they are creating those incentives, and then they will ration care to reduce the number of services you receive, and if you could choose that sortç ofn arrangement, that could be fine. you could be in a health-care plan, like kaiser permanente in.

they provide electronic medical records and other neat things. this is not kaiserç permanente and. this is canada -- this is not kaiser permanente an. glenn: he does not appreciate it. ím5hpì(lc@&c+

glenn: america, you'll be happy to know our apology andtoutour s continuing. çhillary clinton was blaming te u.s. for global warming. >> we have made mistakes in the united states, and we, along with other developed countries, have contributed most significantly doç the problems that we face with climate change. we are hoping that a great country like india will not make

the same mistakes. glenn: yeah, except i am thinking in india will make the same mistakes. they are not rejecting -- they are rejected ministrations call for lower admissions -- emissions because they like to bring people out of poverty -- they are rejecting the administration's call. many do not even have electricity. former ambassador john bolton is here, author of a book. my gosh, john. the apology tour just continues. i cannot take it. all corners of the globe, and i know the club does not have corners. i am tired of the apologies -- i know the globe does not have corners. what country has not made mistakes in the past?

>> they always blame america first. the enthusiasm with which it secretary of state clinton announced that we were the source of the problem -- the enthusiasm with which secretary of state announced that we were the source of the problem is at issue. i think the indians gave back a very interesting argument on this per capita emissions thing. if you really want to equalize it, all inhabitantsç of the gle at the same footprint, the same per-capita global emissions. glenn: let me tell you something. who is it? our new green jobs czar once to developç the world. -- wants to. >> whether it is the cap and trade legislation domestically or this other, it is not going to go anywhere. i think this is where his

coalition falls apart. labor unions in this country care about jobs, their jobs, and they are not about to give it up. glenn: the labour unions? we are counting on our labor unions? -- the labor unions? >> i think the president's program is in real trouble, and i think once he starts losing, like he will on health care -- glenn: i am telling you. this guy is dangerous. he has never lost before. "who are you to question me?" this guy is practically an imperial president now. when he starts to lose, and people start to push him back against the wall, he will not know how to react. >> that makes me more optimistic, because i trust in the inherent goodwill of the american people. i think they will react even more strongly against him. glenn: all right, tell me about

this. the commerce secretary said it is important that the people who consume the products made all around the world to the benefit of america and its own consumption, we have to pay for that. we know, china, you are not going to do the greenhouse gas thing. we will pay your tax for you. i think we have to borrow money from the chinese have to buy their products and then borrow more to pay the carbon tax. >>ç let's stop here and underle this point. the position our secretary of commerce is advocating is the position of the chinese government. you know, it is bad enough when the state department represents other positions better than they do. our secretary of commerce is advocating the chinese position. americans need toç understand just how far going the administration is. they are negotiating for the chinese. glenn: i am the guy who said on

election day," ok, he is my president now." rush said on the radio that he did not what his policies to 60. he did not want these things because he felt that they were -- did not want his policies to succeed. i am going to go one step further than rush limbaugh. i think barack obama does not want america to succeed. >> i think what we should what is not for any individual to succeed or fail, we should want for our country to succeed, and here is where i think obama is different from other americans -- president. he is post america. he is above all, as the "newsweek" editors said. -- editor said. glenn: thank you, ambassador.

no thanks" when it comes to climate-change deals. glenn: though, america. some stories that the mainstream media is not covered -- hello,ç america. the bailout costs and now,

according to just some schlub, the troubled asset release program, says it was going to be like $3 billion or $3 trillion, or maybe $9 trillion, and it looks now like it will only be $23.70 trillion to bail out the financial companies. that is almost only $24 trillion. hey, and i have got great environmental news for you. remember that hole in the ozone layer? we did fix it. but what we used to fix it is now making global warming worse. ooops. -- oops. "the washington post" said debbie replacing gases at black superheated gases at like 5000 times that of carbon dioxide --

said that the replacing gases act like superheated gases. scientists figured out that chemicals thata hole in the -- figured out that chemicals had put a hole in the ozone layer. so we replaced those chemicals with a brand new chemicals, something switzerland said, "do not do that. no, . do not, . " and everyone was -- no, do not do that." global warming is a byproduct of the other problem that scientists said we had to fix. now, as a "the post" writes, we have to find replacements for the replacements, or it will cancel out all of the other things with global warming. i just love it when a plan comes

together like this. by the way, we spend billions of dollars with recovery.gov --ç spent -- we spent billions of dollars. there was money spent on two- pound frozen ham, slicedác @ by the way. they tell me now it was not just per pound. the department of agriculture has pointed this out, thousands of pounds for $1.50 per pound. we checked. at the grocery store, you can some savings, huh? thanks, uncle sam. the department of agriculture is spending money for mozzarella cheese. wait a minute. i am seeing a theme here. oh, please tell me you bought

some bread. they are spending money to upgrade and replace the dumbwaiter. i think that is the guy who brings you the $3 million sandwich, and it is the dumb taxpayer to get the bill. and at an air force base, $1.40 million to repair a door at building 5112. wow, what happened to that door? i do not know what building 5112 is, but it had better fly or drop bombs or have $1.4 million, but maybe it is ok. we are spending all of this money, you know, on ham and cheese sandwiches. does anybody know what we are spending all of that money on the ham? are we trying to reassemble the pig? maybe it is another lauau at the

white house. we have word that the stimulus is working, while making the case that we are having a turnaround. larry summers said the number of people research the term " economic depression" is now down to normal levels --ç the number of people who searched the term -- search the term. wow, everything is going to be fine. we dodged a bullet. i was afraid for a while. hey, you know what we should do now? we should see how many people are googling "we should throw all of these people out on the çstreet." a humor program in the workplace. the senate is now doing their part to help unemployed, as well, hiring a part-time hairstylist for the senate

barbershop and salon. what do you say we make these jerks walk across the street or a couple of blocks away, or catch a cab and go to supercuts? a 45% commission. that is sweet. parking at metro and federal benefits are also there. do you think they also get part of that universal health care? not that crappy stuff you are going to get, but the kind they get on capitol hill? when they are not busy getting their hair done, our lawmakers are finding out ways to bail out the automotive industry. they have the cash for clunkers program, and they will pay you for your old gas-guzzling car so you can buy a new, shiny hybrid. this idea makes blood shoot right out of my eyes in many ways. i may pass out city. these so-called "clunkers,"

well, they are not junkyard heeps, but luxury-car is like a lexus, mercedes, and bmw's -- they are not junkyard heaps. it is just bring it in, you know? what are you doing? it is environmentally friendly. it is? the supposed an apartment in the advantage assumes that people will not drive more and more fuel-efficient cars -- the supposed environmental advantages seems that. cars that cannot afford -- the supposed environmental advantage assumes that. this bill ensures that there is enough land for wild horses and burros, providing for the

animals, and there is contraception for the horses, and it is likeç a trojan horse. i will patton that. it will cost about $200 million from 2010 through 2014 and then another $500 million after that -- i will patent that. the house just passed this bill with the help of republicans. çthese are all of the republicn names up here. we have been showing them the whole time, and if you would like their names so you can call them, or, better yet, vote them out of office -- he is a slogan. if you are up, you are out. when your term is over, you are done. member of congress, bye-bye. go to glennbeck.com. by the way, mike twitter page -- my twitter page -- i feel like i

am 12 when i say this. after last week's appearance on this program was disturbing, and he says, "i was on glenn beck on thursday, talking about health care with john stossel. i was wearing a sports jacket but no pants." and a little too much information. next, the end of card check. next, the end of card check.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- glenn: reading the obituaries over the weekend, walter cronkite passed away. and not someone but some think, yes, passed away last week. card check. some say it may reappear, but not in the same format. i told you what would happen with it. here is it.

he will not use the fairness doctrine. it will come from a different direction. when you talk about unions and card check, it will not be card check. it will be fast track. tim, is that right? >> glenn, thanks for having me on. glenn: it is fast track, right? explain this. these people are genius. for people who have never been in business before, they negotiate. "hey, you know what? we are just going to set of of the people in ohio on fire." they have no intention of setting the people on fire, just burn down a couple of houses. they go down with card check, and then fast track, that is

not so drastic. what is fast track? >> think about this, glenn. the unions when they are going to turn the petitions in to the employer, and then, boom. under the current rules, it is two to three months for a reasonable election, which is a good amount of time. under their fast track, çit wil be 5 to 10 days from the time they turned in petitions in. glenn: and they only need a small amount of the work force. >> that is right. glenn: also, no employer can throwç union organizers out. if you are a small business, and the union wants to come in, you cannot say by law, "get the hell out of my store? " you cannot do that. >> that is right, glenn.

you get the petition, and there are five days, and they are able to crawl all over your workers during office hours. it is outrageous what they are trying to pull. in the name of compromise, that is what they're calling this, this fast-track legislation. glenn: here is the great thing. they are going to say, "well, you know what? if we cannot reach an agreement, and we get 30% of your employees, and we have five days to make a vote, then we will come to you and negotiate, but if we cannot come to terms, we will have to go to some sort of third party that is neutral on this bank to help figure it out. " the third party is the u.s. government. they are in bed with the unions. you do not have a prayer. >> that is exactly right. the union is certified, and they

come to you and say, "in 30 days, if you do not agree, we will have a federal bureaucrat from d.c. fly in your." by the way, they will be appointed by the obama administration. they will dictate the terms of your work contract. now, think about it, glenn. these guys cannot organize a big sale. and now, they will talk about how your business will survive. here it is a recipe for job loss. glenn: no, no, they can organize a lot. they are community organizers. this is going to crush an entrepreneurial spirit. this is going to crush the small business. this is what this is about. global, business, and do not worry. you just go to work for the big boys. people will say, "that is crazy, glenn. glenn.

glenn: sorry. we are back with tim phillips, the president for americans for prosperity. really quick. what is card check? explain it. >> if unions get 30%ç of the wk force to sign a petition at an individual business, the union will be certified without an election. that is what card check means. there are other bad provisions, too. glenn: so thek are saying, "that is crazy. we are not going to do that. we are going to go fast t rack.:

" in union, it is so easy to become unionized up there. >> the union almost always loses the elections, whereas here, they are winning. glenn: here is the thing i'd like to ask america. they just love america. they do. they love american worker. that is all they are trying to do, these unions, help the american worker. let me show these pictures. can you throw these pictures up? that looks like a union-made signs there, with liberty and justice for all. these pictures are from june 1, 2009, and immigration rally in california, at the united farmworkers, and then you have made day immigration and rallies in chicago, new york, los angeles -- may day rallies. phoenix, ariz., another rally with the united farmworkers. new york city, the seiu was

there. in pennsylvania, a rally for detained immigrant workers, organized by a local. the acorn people. let me ask you this. what would a union want to bring inç illegals that are working below minimum wage, working in awful conditions? why would they want to do that unless they were trying not to protect american jobs but just trying to get rich and have a whole bunchç of new people sign up to be union members? >> you hit it, glenn. they want more of the forced dues that comes from a new union members, regardless of their status, whether they are here from not -- from union members. glenn: all right, i appreciate it. there is nothing like starting round power chair, where would you go next? the statue of liberty ?
