it is a real word. do not be a gongoozler. we will see all of the bill o'reilly premium members. remember, the spin stops right here, because we are definitely looking out for you. sean: tonight -- temperance blair on capitol hill. -- tempers flare. karl rove response to the latest liberal attack. 77 so-called government spending cuts that will have you laughing. a member of the obama media turns on the anointed one. is hillary clinton secretly planning a white house run? $60 billion spent, and zero green jobs created. all of that plus john kasich, juan williams, the great, great american panel.

"hannity" starts right now. the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the republicans. now, here is what one man told the audience in shaker heights, ohio, last week, president obama. >> i would say the folks have a lot of nerve that would help get us into this pistofiscal hole ad then start talking about fiscal responsibility. i always a little surprised that people do not have a little more shame about having created a mess and then try to point fingers. sean: all right, and now he has determined that not only have we averted a crisis but that his

policies actually saved us. this is what the president had to say today. >> i do think it was necessary for the government to step in, because unlocking frozen credit markets, we helped stop a recession from becoming a depression. sean: all right, i do not know if he is patted himself on the back for the $787 billion stimulus package or the ballooning deficit. they struck a deal earlier today when four blue dog democrat gave in to party leaders. members will return from their august recess, and all the while, they continue to blame republicans. joining us is our fox news contributor, the one and all the karl rove. -- the one and only karl rove. >> thank you for having me, sean. sean: i'd think it is a good thing that they're doing this in

september, which i will get to in a minute -- i think it is a good thing. what do you make of all of the democratic infighting in this? >> well, remember, we get four blue dog democrats talking about this on the energy and commerce committee and 3 blue dog democrats this said they had not signed onto this deal. think about it. they are planning on a $1 trillion plus price tag of additional spending over the next 10 years, and what they have done today supposedly -- we have not seen the details -- but they have trimmed back by 10%, so it will be $900 billion over the next decades, and there are 500 and some odd billions in tax increases in the plan and $400 billion worth of medicare cuts in there, and i do not think

there are likely to get any one of these, so the blue dogs, they sound good. they make good noise. but the seven blue dogs on the energy and commerce committee, four of them signed onto a bad deal, and three of them said, "do not count us in." sean: they said, "well, it is interesting that the democrats have been promised a lot more money for their districts and some of the more rural areas," which sounds to me like they had numerous requests for very expensive projects in their home districts. it sounds to me that taxpayer money to his being used to buy their votes. is that a fair assessment? >> again, we do not know the details of this, whether it is a policy or eight projects, whether it is a policy that would benefit one part of the community, or whether it is pure pork -- whether it is a policy

or a project. again, this is the problem. we are writing legislation behind closed doors. nobody has seen the so-called deal. we are not going to be voting until september, they announced. we are not going to have a vote in the house in august. the leadership does not want to have this laid out and looked at. if they laid something out and had to go home and explain it, it would be one hot, and august for everyone behind it. the fundamental approach is flawed and -- one hot, ugly august for everyone behind it. a monster in washington that is going to cost, even under the so-called "deal" today, this is more. sean: i do think they left one opening year. that is if they are going to let

the members go home, we saw what happened to kathleen sebelius and claire mccaskill and another man. they were excoriated at these town-hall meetings. perhaps they did not count on it that when these congressmen and senators go back to their districts, do you think they are prepared for what the public is about to give them? >> i do not know. i am more interested to know if the american people are prepared to give it to them. in other words, are they going to show off at the town-hall meetings? are they going to go to the local offices, of their congressmen or senators or both and then show up and make your voice is heard? , are they going to call the district directors of the district offices? are they going to get others to follow their lead and make telephone calls and show up? we saw this with the two parties with the gigantic, spontaneous movement of people that sort of came together around april 15 to protest higher taxes. let's see if some of that

enthusiasm is demonstrated in august. it could have a big impact if it is. sean: they blame president bush. either that, or he is giving an apology. he blames, blame, blame, blame. i see you brought your white board back with you as relates to the stimulus and the country. >> right. sean: and you have chronicled in your columns all of the broken promises, how we cannot trust their rhetoric, so what is your first analysis? >> the statement you opened up that i thought was particularly egregious, talking about people not having shame. i will remind you that one of the first remarks from barack obama when he came to the senate in 2005 was to sign on to the filibuster with christopher dodd, and that was one of the first things he did, stand in the way of reining in the abuses of fannie mae and freddie mac, and they went in and bought trillions of dollars of mortgage

paper, facilitating the unsavory practices and liar loans that turned a minor pickup into the economy into a major recesseion. the president of united states, then in the senate, stood in the way of progress and in the way of regulation of these government-controlled enterprises. and i love what you said today. here is the white board. i checked today. $67.40 billion is all that has been spent today out of the $787 billion stimulus package. that is 8% of the total. if we got the economy growing by spending $67.40 billion, why did we have to appropriate $787 billion? and i keep love in the way they talk about the shovel-ready projects. only 5% of the total amount of

spending is devoted to those so- called shovel-ready projects, a pittance, and remember this. they said if you do nothing, unemployment is going to be 8%, if we do nothing. well, it is 9.5% after doing this. now, i grant you, the economy is going to heal itself, but no country has spent its way to prosperity. it is an attempt to buy of liberal legislators by letting them have their most favored legislation put into law. sean: we see declining poll numbers. we see declining support on obama care. we see the stimulus not working, as your board points out. he is involved in this situation with the professor at harvard. why is he declining? " what mistakes is he making? what advice would you give him if you were in the white house with them -- why is he declined?

what mistakes is the making? -- why is he declining? >> all the rest of these things, when people see what he is proposing on health care, whether he has done on the stimulus, when they see the gigantic amount of red ink, they are doing too much. they are not shooting straight with the american people. they are over promising and under delivery, and they are trying to sneak things by. people remember -- they are over promising and under delivering. sean: coming up, whether or not these cuts to the budget are very real, and the very latest on, yes, barack obama, professor gates, and officer crowley. one hundred potato chips, or one hundred pringles.

both cost the same. but only the new pringles super stack can makes everything pop. the choice is yours. one hundred these, or one hundred pringles. same cost, but a lot more fun. everything pops with the new pringles super stack can.

sean: one of the president's czars made this comment, and john holdren. ultimately? so i wonder if he considers a newborn baby apparently not a human? "hannity" continues in 90 seconds.

every day about 30 women in the u.s. learn that they have cervical cancer. that's why i chose to get my daughter vaccinated. i chose to get my daughter vaccinated when her doctor and i agreed that the right time to protect her is now. because it's about prevention. (nice) gardasil is the only cervical cancer vaccine that helps protect against four types of hpv. two types that cause seventy percent of cervical cancer and two more types that cause other hpv diseases. i chose to get my daughter vaccinated because the cdc recommends that girls her age get vaccinated. gardasil does not treat cervical cancer or other hpv diseases. side effects include: pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. gardasil is not for women who are pregnant. gardasil may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all kinds of cervical cancer, so it's important to continue

routine cervical cancer screenings. i chose to get my daughter vaccinated because i want her to be one less woman affected by cervical cancer. one less. gardasil. ask your daughter's doctor about gardasil. sean: a few months ago, president obama asked them to cut costs. "the wall street journal" wrote down the cost. we have all the specificity and details. >> sean, you have heard "a penny saved is a penny earned." the budget stegosaur's towards $2 trillion. the administration has answered the president's call for $100 million in 90 days, and they did it by saving 0.006% of the federal budget. how did they do it?

this is almost a fox news alert worthy. they discovered that paper has two sides, a front and a back, said they are going to save money by printing on both sides. but wait. there is more. half of the savings can come from the air force, who want to replace the darrick jet fuel with commercial jet fuel mixed with something special, against $50 million right there. the forest service, and green as they may be, will no longer pay their vehicles green. regular -- rather, they are going to keep the original factory paint job. i think that is going to go over well. the army is going to start putting officers on flights to save millions of dollars. fema is getting in on the act. they are going to scrub those trailers and sell them. sean, do you know anybody needs a trailer from katrina?

$320,000 found in an unused telephone lines line round. who has $300,000 of unused phone lines line around -- lying around? did you know that white house personnel receive all of the free diet cokes and coax they want, courtesy of the u.s. navy? it was reported -- the free diet cokes and cokes they want. if it saved $100 million every 98 days for the rest of president obama's term, it would total $1.50 billion or just three days of interest for the federal deficit. they just now realized that paper has two sides. sean: joining me now with more

on this unbelievable story is gubernatorial candidate john kasich. congressman, you have a balanced budget. 0.006%. you are laughing -- you have a balanced budgets. >> as long as you are spending someone else's money, they do not care about it. it would be almost laughable if it were not so serious that the debt this year, this one year, is going to be almost $2 trillion, and they find a measly $100 million. it is a lack of leadership. they do not operate like a family. they do not operate like a successful business. they passed the problem on to the next generation, and it is shameful. you can make everything more better. you can downsize the government. it gives you room to cut taxes. remember the 1990's, when our 401k 's were actually increasing

instead of decreasing? sean: i have to talk to governor bobby jindal. they are moving towards a balanced budgets. when they talk about $100 million or $1 billion, when you are literally dealing with a $3.60 trillion budget, it is nothing. >> is a joke. it is all show biz. sean, when we left in 2000, when i left with the budget-cutting team i had put together, we had a budget surplus is predicted to be at $5 trillion. imagine that. and now, we are looking at a one-year deficit of almost $2 trillion. they really threaten the strength of the american economy. when politicians have to do is forget the special interests. forget the little rock and deals they mate with each other to take stuff home. put the taxpayer's home -- forget the little rock and deals they make -- the little rock and

deals -- little rotten deals they mate with each other to take steps home. sean: it is really almost lying, but you cannot say that, right? >> well, when we talked about we cannot have an increase in the deficit if we pass this health- care plan, and we're going to appoint a committee to study. do you know what that means? that means nothing is going to get done. if you do not force the savings, the changes, the reforms, it will never happen, sean. i have been there. i was there 18 years. i saw them screw it up, and i was there when we got it done. it takes a commitment to your country rather than to your own hide and your own reelection. sean: the american people are nervous, and i think rightly so, that these debts that we are

accumulating, we are stealing from our kids and grandkids. house republicans reverse this? >> let's start with earmarks. -- how do republicans reverse this? you know, when i left congress, sean, i never did earmarks. they had a parade for me to the airport to get me out of town, and some of the people here that i would not get the pork for, they did not like to see me, but at the end of the day, it is not about making friends. it is about being responsible. sean: all right, to the governor in ohio, thank you. the professor, the cop, and the president. we give the details on that. also, the green nazzarog greenreen cz -- the green czar. that and much more, straight ahead.

sean: and tonight on hannity's america, four days, we have told you about president obama's tan king poll numbers -- for days. nancy pelosi has also taken a

hit. only 32% have a favorable opinion about the california speaker. how about harry reid? he has a popularity reading of only 15%. it sounds like a popularity is almost over for the democratic majority. and not only are the liberals losing support, praise from the obama media also seems to be vanishing. as was noted today, even national public radio, they were forced to acknowledge the rough patches that president and his allies now find themselves in per diam in a latest survey, they found the plurality opposed the latest health-care plan. -- and his allies now find themselves in. in the latest survey, many were opposed.

and tonight's meltdown is brought to you by the white house's residents communist, the green czar, van jones, a man who admits to previously being a communist, and he was asked why the administration has spent $60 million -- $60 billion to create jobs, and he said there is still trying to figure out what the definition of a green job is. while you are working on that, can we please have are $60 billion back? passing a health-care reform before august, the president is trying to use this situation as a fund-raising opportunity. now, his political group, organizing for america, they sent an email to they asking if

you can chip and $1 each day until we can pass real insurance reform? it shows insurance companies and allies in congress that there is delay tactics only make our movement stronger. well, as rahm, rahmbo, deadfish rahm emanuel said -- 10 -- the 10 minute phenomenon from nice 'n easy. rich color, stunning high gloss, and flawless gray coverage all in just 10 minutes. a breakthrough so big, it won the most awards from beauty editors they even say...

sean: now, president obama has been falling all over himself. is this group really the nonpartisan entity that the president wants you to believe that it is, aarp? despite its denials, the aarp has a history of being politically active and even holds a pro-gun control position in its official policy book.

sean: the obama administration's drastic expansion of programs has created problems. >> i happen to agree with the seventh governor of this great state, sam houston, and he once said, "texas has yet to learn submission to any of oppression ." [cheers and applause] we did not like oppression then. we do not like oppression now. sean: the alaskan independence party is over 30 members strong. now, nebraska law makers are raising the possibility of secession in reaction to president obama's heavy-handed

policies. two guests join me now, who are supporting a bill to exert the sovereignty of their state. thank you for being with us. now, we have seen this in a couple of states. senator, can you explain exactly what this effort is on your state's behalf? >> sean, thanks. we're bringing forward a resolution to discuss the reach of the federal government. we have talked to every day nebraskan is from all walks of life who are concerned with really the reach and scope of the federal government, so i am bringing forward a resolution to discuss just how powerful we want washington, d.c., to be. hopefully, we will have a meaningful debate. sean: i know that governor rick perry, who we just played moments ago, they suggest that if they push obama care, there might be resistance on the part of texas. is that something you might

also follow suit on? >> we are not trying to secede, but we are looking at the powers of the state' and the feds have that is regulating the 10th amendment, and we just think we need to get back to what the original constitution says. shaw -- sean: senator fulton, you are dealing with unfunded mandates. people took stimulus funds. that meant that the states would in many cases have to change their laws about unemployment benefits and other things. is that a lot about what this is about? >> yes, sean. what we are talking about here, it has been said that we, the states, for when we accept the money from the federal government, we should do x, y, or z. i am looking at this from a

different perspective. it is the people's money. the federal government has the ability to tax because that is a power in the constitution. that money is taken from the people, and if it comes back to the people, the idea that there are strings, it raises the question at least that the 10th amendment means something. that line between the federal government and others, that line is gray. that does not mean that that line does not exist. greta: what do you explain to people? >> the idea that the powers that aren't enumerated for the federal government, and those powers which are not prohibited to the states in the constitution fall to the states. i guess, for me, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. gm. gm. that is an example of a private company that has been taken over by the federal government. now, one of the activities that

is being contemplated right now is to shut down car dealerships across the country. in nebraska, 30 car dealerships could be shut down. these are family-owned businesses, privately-owned. somebody in washington does not like how these small businesses fit into the grand scheme of the car industry, so someone in washington has the ability to shut down these family businesses? it really raises the question, what really exactly does the 10th amendment mean? do the states have rights here, or not? sean: go ahead, senator. >> the federal government is shutting down two businesses in the cambridge, nebraska, the dealerships that employ about 2% of the people in the community. that adds to% unemployment as well as the benefit to that, and there are businesses that have all of their cars, all of their parts, do all of their and

training, and someone in washington is saying they cannot have their business no more. that is not free enterprise. sean: listen. if they are going to take over car companies, and they are going to take over banks, and they are going to dictate ceo pay, and now they want to take over about 20% of the conduct with health care, it is by definition socialism, -- they want to take over about 20% of the economy with health care. we are going to watch this movement, guys. thank you for being with us. >> thanks, sean. sean: it is time to check in with greta van susteren. i am going to call greta at the greatest teaser in the history of television, because she is going to suck the in somehow. color ahead. i am waiting.

greta: this is what we are going to do tonight "on the record." governor arnold schwarzenegger is going to be here, and he has fascinating things to say. and here it is. guess who is not going to australia? sean: i know the answer to that. greta: you do not. sean: i do so. i will email you in a moment. i do not want to give it away. due to smoke a cigar with the governor? greta: and i thought you were going to say something else -- did you smoke a cigar with the governor? greta: i thought you going to say something else. i got the sick feeling. i thought, "you are not really asking me that, are you a?" i do not know. we will try this tomorrow night -- are you?" sean: this is absolutely a bomb tonight. this has gone nowhere. tell the governor hello. all right, let not your heart be troubled.

the great, great, great american panel is straight ahead. whether you consider it a cruiser or a clunker, you could turn it into cash. get to your dodge, chrysler, and jeep dealer, and get up to double the government's cash for your old car. now get up to $4,500 for your old car... plus, up to an additional $4,500 cash allowance. no turn-in? no problem. your dodge, chrysler, and jeep dealer guarantees everyone up to $4,500 cash allowance... on virtually every model. get to your dodge, chrysler and jeep dealer on the double, and get double cash for your old car! from post party sickness syndrome? there's a revolutionary cure. it's called cascade all-in-one actionpacs. and it's like adding the ultimate button to your dishwasher. because it has the power to pre-wash... dissolve... and rinse the whole mess away. so in the morning your dishes will feel like new again.

sean: 10 tonight on our great american panel, he is a syndicated columnist, rich lowry. he works as an editorial writer, op-ed columnist, fox news

contributor, juan williams is with us. and he was the 2008 libertarian presidential nominee, and author, "the conscience of a libertarian." wayne allyn root. he is with us. good to see you guys. let's start with an issue that has been going on for an anti- your week. barack obama holds a press conference. barack obama accuses the cambridge police department acting stupidly. the next day, he is lecturing everybody about what to say a teachable moment" this is, and now they're going to have a beer -- about what "8 teachable moment" this is. -- "a teachable moment."

>> it is sergeant crowley that its the teachable moments, not them. >> i think that sergeant crowley is determined how this is perceived -- it is the sergeant that gets the teachable moment, not them. you have got to have the facts before you get into something as incendiary as race relations in this country. i think he thought that gates was his friend, and he wanted to side with his friend, but when he takes is about information and appears that he is just siding with the black person in a racially divisive situation, all of a sudden, his image of a fair minded person, someone who is a healer --

sean: how does that hurt him? >> i think it does hurt him, because people see it as a character issue. sean: i do, too, and i do not think he can recover. like fonzie on happy days. i have to tell me freehan i am a mount vernon, new york, kid. -- i have to tell you. i am a mount vernon, new york kid. when you asked sotomayor with the racist remarks with this, is synergy. double trouble. the benefit of the doubt is gone, and i believe that middle america no longer thinks that this guy is not a racist. i think this casts doubt on every part of obama's image. >> union sotomayor he is talking about now? >> i do not think sotomayor is a

racist -- eumaeus sotomayor he is talking about now? >> this is someone who said she can make better decisions on the bench than a white male. it is reverse racism. it is racism. forget the word "in reverse." >> i think it was definitely a ratio of it's not a racist comment. -- i think it was definitely racial if not a racist comment. >> what about the new haven firefighters? >> it did not result in -- sean: clearly, she did not believe in equal justice under the law. forget about president. she had an opportunity to stand up for people who had a great achievement in their lives, that sacrificed greatly. >> that you had better go after all of the other judges, because

it was a three-judge panel, and there were republicans on there. >> the average person in middle america thinking he made a reckless choice with her and then came right back and made a comment. >> the common theme here is that there is an element of the left that sees everything through a racial prism, and the sotomayor comment about a wise latino woman reflects that mindset, and the reaction from professor gates to policemen showing up to his door based on a anacin call her reflects that mindset, and a great benefit of barack obama during the election is that he did not seem to buy into that at all, and now he is going towards it. sean: i do not want to keep grain of reverend wright, but i think it plays in here. -- i do not want to keep bringing up reverend wright. >> youtube want to keep bringing him up. -- you do want to keep bringing

them up. sean: all right, you are right. i want to go back to reverend wright. i thought that was important. juan, you thought i had really relevant point here, and, for example, we have found some quotes from professor gates, on c-span, booknotes, and he makes the comments about his mother. he made the comment about malcolm x, white devils, and he said, "she laughed, ha ha ha, and it was great." talking about blue-eyed devils. >> i think some people are thinking it is payback, but i do not know. sean: but gates, he is a radical, professor gates. >> i do not know if he is

radical. sean: no, he is a radical. >> i think he was impatient and a little bit imperious. sean: did he racially profile a cop? >> he was the one you said, "m i being treated this way because i am a black guy?" -- "am i?" >> we can all understand and he was tired from his trip, but he stuck to the racial narrative. >> now, he is trying to advance its cause and make himself an example of a bigger issue. sean: a radical professors, we have got 1 million of them. ward churchill. especially at harvard. all right, the question is, obama, does he recover by sitting down, having a dbeer, probably having a cigarette? i think a lot of people gave him

the benefit of the doubt that he was not reverend wright. they looked at people like me saying i am going overboard. i think this proves me. that is my only reason for bringing it up. >> i think you have health care bringing them down. sean: cap and trade and the unemployment numbers, as well. >> i think people trust him on health care, but now, because of this, the numbers are going down, because people think, what is it you stand for? tell us the plan. he did not say, "here is what i stand for. here is my bottom line at." i think most people want health care fixed. i think he can start to recover -- here is my bottom line." sean: more of the great american panel, coming up.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- sean: and we continue now with our great american panel. the blue dogs come out to say, "we have got a deal," and then another group of blue dogs come out and say, "no, we do not." and then henry waxman and his group, out, and they literally says, "you know what?

he should not be negotiated the blue dogs a." so they are in turmoil here -- he should not be negotiating with the blue dogs." >> is this about president obama playing for the team? a lot of the blue dogs are saying, "we cannot go home and defend it." i will tell you that if they have something that is a winner, that may change the equation. sean: let me ask whicrich this. we saw what happened to kathleen sebelius and claire mccaskill. they get beaten up when they go in front of an audience. they will go home, these politicians, over recess, and their constituents will be out there in numbers, and that is going to change this debate radically. >> this will be a bad august, and i think the extraordinary thing about this debate -- mitch

mcconnell has been out on the floor every day, hammering it, but the thing that is dragging it down here is the division among democrats that just one dressing. the cbo director elmendorf, who is an analyst, and the sheer weight of the plan, and it's nonsensical nature -- it is falling on its own weight every day -- its nonsensical nature. sean: he keeps going back to this mantra, "blamed bush, blame bush, blame bush," talking about the debt, when he, in fact, quadrupled in one year. >> as a practical political matter, it is already over. it was over when he passed the stimulus and maybe outrageous claims about what the stimulus would do, which are being discredited every day. and, sean, there is a "wall street journal" poll out, and it says that less than 45% believe

barack obama can be trusted to keep his word. >> you look at the polls, and the american people still say that this economy, this recession, is the fault of george w. bush. let's look at the facts. they still say it is bush's. when you think about the tax cuts, when you think about the lack of regulation on wall street, who passed the first stimulus package? am i making this stuff up? responsibility. he did it, too. he did it, too. sean: let me add 1.8%, he said on employment would not go above that. -- let me add one point. 8%, and he said on employment would not go above that. >> can i jump in?

rich lowry has been critical. wait a minute. they have been critical of republicans, and the reasons they lost in the last two elections is because they did not listen to conservatives like me who told them, "stop spending." >> history shows they do it again and again they are bigger and bigger and dumber and dumber. -- history shows they do it again and again. they are bigger and bigger and dumber and dumber. >> the problem obama has is that he did not run as this kind of president. he sounded nonpartisan, pose partisan, and he sounded not ideological. reposts partisan. -- he sounded nonpartisan, post- partisan, and he sounded

nonideological. if he wanted a bipartisan deal, he could get it tomorrow. >> it is easier to put down obama. >> they do not want to put their fingerprints on a socialist bill. shotgun if you listen to them, they are talking about tort reform. they are talking about tax benefits so people can get their own care. the democrats are talking about a botox tax and a soda tax. >> how about a vat tax? how about the capital fica? you know that is coming. >> all of this can be balanced on the backs of the top 5%. that is just not the case. even a liberal columnist for "the new york times" is saying a vat tax is in our future. >> let's say that the american >> let's say that the american
