"hannity" is next. i am bill o'reilly. we do hope to see you again next time. remember, the spin s h because we're definitely looking out for you. sean: will health reform sink the anointed one's presidency. >> this isn't about me, this isn't about politics. mayo clinic, many of you have heard of, provides outstanding care, some of the best in the world. sean: the feeling is not mutual. the mayo clinic slams the president's proposal. the democrat's party downward spiral in the polls continues. congresswoman carolyn maloney uses the "n" word. an economist exaggerates global warming. "hannity" starts right here right now. under pressure from the administration democrats are trying to push their health care bill through the congress so fast the wheels are coming off

the train, and that is our headline this tuesday night, obama's third rail. they have so lost control of the issue that members of their own party are now beginning to revolt against them. charlie rangel was heard no one wants to tell the speaker that she is moving too fast, and they damn sure don't want to tell the president. meanwhile the house delayed its vote indefinitely after it failed to gather enough votes from moderate democrats, but the president isn't taking no for an answer. he continues to push the august deadline even though a conference call earlier today made it clear that he hasn't even read key provisions in the bill. so will health care be the president's undoing or will he manage to triumph against the odds as he has shown himself so capable of doing in the past? joining us with answers alexis glick of the fox business network, former white house press secretary and fox news analyst dana perino.

good to see you. here we see the political reports. he's starting to sweat for the first time in his presidency. how much trouble is he in politically? >> well, the stakes are very high, he's raised the bar. he's not even supported by his own party, and the congressional budget office numbers that came out over the past three weeks are really hard to overcome, and i think the best think could could do is hit pause and try again in september. sean: i think that would be the prudent, reasonable thing to do, but i don't think he has the inclination to do it. the biggest headline this week that nobody talked about is that the white house is purposely trying to hide the real economic numbers, meaning their forecasts have been so wrong, they don't want to admit to it the american people. >> well, christina romer has said they're going to come out with their new projections in large part because the work she did along with jared bernstein obviously had the wrong projections when it took a look at the stimulus package. but the issue here is nobody

really understands the urgency, and what the american people are now starting to distrust is that urgency. we all collectively agree we need to do something about costs, we need to do something about the uninsured. the question is how do we do that, and why do we have to have a gun to our head to do it, and that's what people are becoming angry and impatient about. >> remember vice president biden a week or so ago said they misread the economy. then he said no, we just had incomplete information. and now the white house is asking members of congress to take a very important vote with incomplete information, and i think it's imprudent. sean: it's cumulative because they're passing bills they haven't read, the stimulus bill, the cap and tax bill, a lot of these congressmen are feeling the pressure. let me show you how bad it got for this missouri congressman carnehan. look how bad it got. >> the congressional budget

office most recently came out and analyzed the current plan and said that it was not only deficit neutral, which has been one of the important factors for the president and congressional leaders, but also that over ten years it would create a $6 billion surplus. [ laughter ] it's important -- it's important that -- we all listen -- sean: that is an outright rebellion. >> it is, and the rebellion is growing because the numbers are not translating, and the problem is the will of what people expect from this presidency and this administration is wearing thin. it's the expectation game that we talked about a week ago. you set the bar too high.

now, the expectations are far too low for what you can achieve -- far too high. why not lower the expectations on health care, instead of expecting everybody to see a bill in a couple weeks. >> politically they're thinking that could be devastating to him. i don't think that's true. i think that they're trying to push a square peg into a round hole, and as they try -- if they push too hard, everything around it breaks and it's going to make it much harder to get anything else done. he can hit pause and try again. sean: his numbers are going down in every area. >> except on iraq and afghanistan where they kept the bush policies i might add. sean: the americans are very skeptical. they promised unemployment wouldn't go above 8%, they promised a volt to the economy. >> and they promised you could keep your health care, and the question he was asked today was the provision, page 16, that said you might not be able to keep your health care, so i think people are rightly concerned, and that town hall

meeting, i think that's going to happen all around the country which is why they don't want the members to go home in august. >> it goes to something that dick morris has talked a lot about, and i think this is what is frustrating people. if you have people insured in this company, why are we trying to take a system of 185 million and ensure those additional 38 or 45 depending on the estimates you look at as opposed to creating new doctors, new nurses to make up for those that are uninsured. sean: we can't figure this out in two weeks. >> it's not logical, and i thought it was captivating when you watched the president yesterday make those comments in rebuttal to senator jim demint where he suggested this is the president's waterloo, and he said this is not about me, this isn't about politics. well, wait a second. it's not about politics. then why does this bill have to be on your desk in two weeks. sean: because he senses -- i'll tell you why, and i'll answer your own question. because you're great at asking

questions. because the answer is he senses that his political capital that the honeymoon is ending, and this may be his last chance, and this is the problem. the longer people analyze this bill, the longer they realize taxes are going to go up, that rationen is a part of what our health care system -- now will -- have in it, most americans are going to be forced into the government system, they're not going to be able to keep these promises are false just like the stimulus promises were false. >> and that's the problem. they've got the president out a little too often making promises that he can't necessarily keep. it's really dangerous for him to say everybody's going to be able to keep their health care. that's not possible. it's like offering free ice cream for everybody. somebody's going to have to pay. sean: 83 million americans according to the heritage foundation are going to be forced into the government system. the cbo predicted 20 plus million people will be forced out of their private insurance. >> this is one of the most

captivating things to me. when we were talking about for the longest time was the republicans who were concerned about reelection in 2010, and for the first time this week it's crystal clear that this isn't about the republicans who are concerned about reelection, it's now the democrats, and that's to me the biggest sea change that we've seen thus far, and as we were talking about before, what the president says tomorrow night when his own party is not behind him is going to be exceptionally challenging. sean: i don't think he can say anything tomorrow night, and if this vote gets pushed off, he's wasting time night, but were the blue dog democrats, the senate democrats, and now democratic governors all balking at this bill, what does that mean for him? >> every day you see the white house come out and suggest that there are people, meaning republicans, who are against health care reform. i challenge them. name one. name one congressman or senator who has said they are not for

health care reform. sean: they're against government care. >> they're against this bill, and they are willing to try to work on other things. i also think the house members balked today because they realized if they take this vote and the senate doesn't and they're going to be asked to walk the plank on climate, then they're going to look at 1994 all over again. sean: there were 60 democratic congressmen that are in bush-mccain districts. >> very razor thin margin. >> they're worried. i would say you're the president of the united states. be presidential. allow this conversation to continue. don't put a deadline on it. he has the good will, and he will pass this. i think he will, but dana's right. sean: every day that the economy doesn't recover, every day we lose jobs, every day we recognize he broke his word, i think is a day that he does not have any political capital. >> it was said today on capitol hill one of the most important things we can do for this economy is health care reform.

>> not at this price. sean: not at this price. thank you. the president's poll numbers do drop. we'll check in with ann coulter. and we will be bringing you a detailed look inside the obama universal health care plan this thursday night, a special edition of "hannity" devoted strictly to this very important issue. it's called "universal nightmare." a hannity special you don't want to miss. millions of men 45 and older... just don't feel like they used to. are you one of them? remember when you had more energy... for 18 holes with your buddies? more passion for the one you love? more fun with your family and friends? could be an easily treatable condition called low t. c'mon, stop living in the shadows. you've got a life to live. so don't blame it on aging. go to isitlowt.com to find out more.
