troubled. the news continues, greta is next. we'll see you tomorrow night. ♪ >> greta: this is a fox news alert. you are looking live at the floor of the united states senate in the middle of vote-o-rama. the senate finished debating the reconciliation bill right now voting on republican amendments to that bill. so far democrats have killed every republican amendment. the senate is expected to vote late into the late. -- late into the night. we expect to be watching. democratic congressman bart stupak getting threatening voice mails for switching his no vote to a yes vote. >> congressman stupak you are one big piece of human bleep pwhrep think about"÷ this there are million of people across the country who wish you ill. >> greta: barbara mikulski of maryland taking the argument out of this world. >> you her the old saying, men

are from mars, women are from venus? i that i party is from mars and we are from planet earth. i think they've been out in our orbit the planet earth that i'm on, tells know pass health insurance. >> >> greta: rush limbaugh still on fire. >> obama is now going to use his deceit and his propaganda skills to claim that the dire problems from his plan have not been realized. he's going to go out starting tomorrow, in iowa city, and all next week when he goes out to sell this embarrassing piece of legislation. he's going to say, where are all the [ unintelligible ] >> greta: najibullah joins us live. good evening. -- newt gingrich joins us live. why does the president now have to sell it? >> because they've lost their

mine. -- their minds. the country cares about jobs, economy, the deficit. 79% of the country yesterday said they think the economy could collapse. the country would like the president and washington to get on to something which relates to their daily lives. but the president has decided and his team has decided that they have to go out and they have to win the argument on health care. i don't think they can win this argument. i think when people start looking at the underlying details. when you realize that the mayo clinic in arizona will no longer take medicare. when you watch major institutions like a major drugstore say they will no longer take medicine kay. when you see the system beginning to break down. when you look at the cost in massachusetts. where the first experiment in this program has proved so expensive it is probably not sustainable. they are going to lose this argument. but i think they are fixated on a belief if they talk long

enough, somehow people will believe them. >> greta: what about all the discussion among the republican that they are going to seek to repeal it? silly, political? >> you have to be politically honest. if the republicans win a majority in the house and senate next year they will not be able to repeal the bill the president will veto it but they will be able to cut off spending and implementation. if they win the presidency in 2012, they can repeal it in february of 2013 that's the earliest you can repeal. this is a bill which most of it doesn't go into effect before 2013, 2014, 2015 in is a gradual takeover of the entire country's health system by the government. because it is so gradual you could repeal it in february 2013 and you would have effectively killed it. >> greta: speaker pelosi you know her job better than anyone else, having had the job.

how did she do? >> fabulous. if your decision s you're gonna write-off the country, have everyone enraged but pass the bill you want and muscle your way through by a combination of bullying, browbeating and bribing, she was very effective. i think you have to start with the fact, if you are on the left right now, you won you feel pretty good. you signed a trillion dollar bill. you scammed the whole country and you ran over the country and you succeeded. the question for them is, can they keep this up until november? one fact the country punishes them so badly she becomes minority leader and be deposed and john boehner become speaker. >> greta: you say they scammed the country. i think the polls are evenly divided on this i'm not so sure the country is so overwhelmingly appreciative of what has happened. half the country doesn't like this >> scammed it in the sense they avoided doing town hall meetings an voighted meeting

with constituent, stayed hidden in washington. they passed what they wanted. it is now law. they went back and said i don't care how mad you are, i what i wanted. >> greta: what about jobs? did they have the wind behind their backs they can move forward with more job programs or they missed the boat? >> i think they are going further to the left. they are going to ignore jobs. they are going to immigration. >> greta: they can't ignore jobs with unemployment rates around 10%. >> this is my understanding, they believe there's enough deficit spending, trillions pouring into the economy they will get enough of a bounce by november to be okay. and whatever collapse occurs won't happen until 13, 14, 15. they are adding eight trillion dollars of debt during the obama two terms if he gets two terps. that's their current projection, eight trillion dollars. that means every young person america will pay more interest on the debt to

chinese and saudis than for national security. i think the gamble the left has is nobody will notice. imagine your parents gave you a car when were you young and said happy birthday. then next month you learn it didn't have air conditioning and it didn't have a radio the following month you learned they hadn't paid for it and they a bad price and paid four times it was worth and you are going to pay 20 years for a car you didn't want. the obama people are gambling that nobody will know all the debt they are piling up. but everybody will be grateful for whatever check they send them this year. that's the core gamble. >> greta: you have a joint press conference tomorrow with the governor of georgia company >> to talk about reality this bill is now law. soevkçú the members want to know how do we operate in this new law? what do we have to get done in the new law? what is right, wrong what can

be changed? governor purdue has taken a courageous position he believes this bill is a disaster that it will put up with the state of georgia, crowd outspenting on education on the environment, crowd outspenting on the highways. >> greta: what's the courageous position? >> he wants to file a lawsuit with many attorney generals, democrat and republican saying the if he rad government can't impose that kind of unfunded mandate we'll have a meeting tomorrow and talk about the real implications for the people of georgia? what can we do to stop them, the federal government the washington bureaucrats from imposing this kind of cost on the people of georgia. >> greta: do you think the president is euphoric and successor some sort of worry this may not pan out as hoped? >> based on his career, which has been remarkable he is probably very euphoric. he has gone from state senator to u.s. senator to democratic nominee to president to

passing a trillion dollar plus bill. from his perspective it has been amazing. >> greta: what is the drop dead date -- when will people make a decision for themselves? you have decided how you feel. we will people now if this is an abject failure or successes --. >> people said well, they at least something done. that will last about a week. then people will learn more and more and more about the bill. and gradually they will figure out how expensive it is going to be. how much it is going to weaken the system and how much it is really bad stuff. finally you are going to have the washington burr rock. >> this bill creates 1 -- bureaucracy. this bill creates 159 new agencies, commissions and bureaus. the idea the department of health and human services can implement a bill that has 159 new offices a fantasy. it will be like what happened with the stimulus.

as it drifts out and people see more about it, they will be less and less happy. >> greta: mr. speaker, thank you. >> thank you. >> now a tease we a new picture of speaker gingrich it belongings only one place in the best of the rest. stick around you will see a picture that we can explain. we promise you will love it. you have to wait to see this picture. speaker. next, governor pawlenty wants his state to sue the federal government. it hasn't happened yet. what's the hold up? he is here and he's next. did you hear a different health care bill was also signed today? not at the white house, but somewhere else. could this new bill smash president obama's plan? we are back in two.

states saying there is merit something that can and should be done. she said she going to consider it. she didn't say no out of the gate. >> greta: do you like the health care bill? >> no. >> greta: why? >> it is a reflection of a democrat 30 year obsession with trying to make government services look like general motors from the 70s when the world is now apple and a iphone. our view of the world is not big centralized bureaucracy, one size fits all, price controls, tax increases. we want consumers in charge and make it look like an iphone a metaphor for their vision versus ours. >> greta: can you an for it? the health care bill create financial problems for minnesota? >> the health care bill is misguided and going to create problems. if we implement within part the extension of medicaid to single adults without children, it is going to cost my state six or 700 million dollars in the next two years. >> greta: when someone shows

>> greta: the senate is in the middle of vote-o-rama to the reconciliation bill. amendment introduced by senator chuck has just failed by 56-42. wait until you hear what that amendment was. earlier senator grassley went on the record. nice to see you senator. >> glad to be with you once again. >> greta: i want to talk about this individual mandate. you're compelled to buy insurance if you don't buy that it first year according the penalty the first year is

$95. if i buy insurance it will cost more. aren't i better off getting -- paying $95. if i get sick i can buy at that point because you can't reject me. >> that's one of the shortcomings of it. i think constitutional lawyers think the mandate is unconstitutional. never before in the 225 year history of our country has the federal government you have to buy anything. now to buy health insurance and have it enforced by the irs he have they have to have irs agents do it at the cost of billions. a lot of people will be after you. >> greta: if i'm willing to pay the penalty, i can game the system if i get sick, i'll buy health insurance. >> a lot of people besides you are going to have that figured out. so the goal of having 94, 95% of the people in this country have health insurance is going

to be a lot less, because these penalties aren't what they ought to be. i'm not in favor of the penalties because i'm not in favor of the mandate. if it turns out to be constitutional, there's a lot of people, because you can't be denied for preexisting conditions they will wait for the day before they go to the hospital to buy insurance. >> greta: the penalty only goes up to $750 that might be a bargain. you introduced a amendment monday about including everybody who works here on capitol hill into this exchange. what is your amendment? >> it goes beyond that in my original amendment going back to september last year, which part of it was in the bill the president signed, doesn't include the president, vice president and political appointees in the executive branch. >> greta: they get the old health insurance? >> yes they sure do. the point is this, similar to what i've done over the last

15 years i've gone through great efforts to make sure that congress didn't carve itself out of a lot of laws that apply to the rest of the country. that's the way it was for several decades. i a bill passed to eliminate this on the same spirit my constituents said are you going to be covered by it? in the spirit of my previous actions i got an amendment adopted so congressmen and our staffs would have to buy from the exchange. senator reid pulled a fast one in the secrecy of the office he took out leadership, staff and committee staff. >> greta: so they don't have to be in the exchange change? >> no but my amendment would put them back in and the president in the exchange. the president thought about my amendment and today he said he was going to be covered by the exchange. >> greta: voluntary by the president. the exchange doesn't go into effect until 26 teen. in theory, -- until 2016.

if he doesn't get reelected and there's another president, he's bound by the president's statement today? >> that's right that's the purpose of my amendment to make sure this president and future presidents are covered by the same health care program that other people are covered by and that would be the necessity of buying from the exchange. chuck , if i'm still in the senate would have to buy from the exchange. my staff would. i want to fix it so leadership staff and committee staff would. because they were carved out. >> greta: why carve out leadership staff? why was leadership staff not included with the rest of the congressional staff? >> one word answer, chutzpah. that's what they can get away with it and they took the opportunity because nobody knew that it was happening until after the bill was out before the senate. >> greta: they cut themselves a better deal. >> yeah i offered an amendment to include them, wouldn't let

me vote on it, before christmas. then didn't want to put it in >> greta: this is not a mistake. you notified the other side that they carved out this select group on capitol hill? >> yeah, take care of yourself that's an the strategy behind it. i can't say the president was carved himself out of anything. not including in my original amendment. but since this has become law and the president thinks it is a great deal i think he ought to be covered by it too. >> greta: today he said that he himself was going into the exchange but doesn't bind future presidents. >> that's why we needed as a party of law. that's why i'm going to push for my amendment this very night. >> greta: what has the reception been so far? >> very favorable. >> greta: you think you will win this? >> reid said he has 51 votes to pass it and 51 votes to pass the bill and 51 votes

assume to kill any amendment we might offer. >> greta: besides this particular amendment, are there any other amendments that you think are going to get passed that are going to change this reconciliation bill? >> not if reid really has 51 people not to change anything that pass the house sunday, i don't think so. we don't really know. so best answer for me to give you, i don't know but i don't think any amendments might ab adopted. >> greta: next, the battle just spread from capitol hill across the potomac into the state of virginia. the state of virginia taking on president obama. who is your money on?

>> greta: different health care bill was signed today not at the white house but in virginia. virginia governor bob mcdonnell signing a law that bars the federal government from forcing virginians to buy health insurance. now what?

feds say virginians must buy health insurance. the state says no you don't. good evening sir. >> hey greta nice to be on with you tonight. >> greta: sir, prior to being governor of the state of virginia you have been the attorney general so you know that well. did you consult with the attorney general when he made his decision to file suit? >> well i did. he advised me he had been doing the legal research over last couple of months about this claim. we both believe that in individual mandate passed by the. is congress is not authorized under the commerce clause of the united states constitution. we think it is not a proper act on the people of virginia. we passed a bill during this last session that went into effect two week ago tonight that says it is not per miserable to force the citizens of virginia to purchase health insurance unpenalty of law. we've got standing, we believe

under that new enactment, that i signed today. here in richmond. that's the basis for our lawsuit the federal government. >> greta: you obviously saw this one coming if it had been discussed and you passed a new law and signed it. what's your legislation democratic majority or republican majority? >> that's the interesting thing this was a bipartisan effort. primarily introduced by republican legislators. we have a democratic senate, it passed 22 -- 23-17 in the senate. and we have a republican house but it passed overwhelmingly 66-29 with the democrat minority leader voting for it. it was a bipartisan effort. seven out of the 11 united states house of representatives members from virginia voted against the health care reform bill. i think we've got significant opposition to this bill in virginia. the most important thing is that even in a divided

legislature our people have spoken out saying we don't want an individual mandate on the citizens of virginia. we don't believe it is per miserable under the commerce clause of the united states constitution. therefore these are issues that should be left to the states. >> virginia says we don't want to be bossed around by the feds. assume that you win and assume that someone has no health insurance and gets into a terrible motorcycle accident ends up in the emergency room and then intensive care for three months. who pays for that at that point? >> well, under the current law, that would be born either by medicaid or it would be born by some other state entity or in some cases unfortunately, those bills are written off by the local provider. i'm not saying and i don't think anybody that voted for this legislation is saying

that we don't need reform, we do. we need better access to care for people. we need lower costs. but we've got the greatest medical care system in the world we don't want to turnover 1/6 of the economy to the government. we've estimate add that is 1.1 billion dollars of new spending in medicaid over the next 10 years. 400 billion dollar taken from medicare to fund this it is going to be a dramatic increase in tax. 400 billion dollars in new taxes for americans. so we are saying there's better ways to do this reform. tort reform, more choices, more pooling of interest. there's other things that are constitutionally per miss age that would have been okay. this individual mandate we don't think is authorized by congress. it is a matter of principle we thought we needed to oppose this >> greta: it has been filed in federal court in virginia. it is called the rocket docket and it scares the living daylights of any lawyer who

has had to practice in your court system because it guess so fast. how fast do you think is going to proceed? give me an idea of the track on this. >> the attorney general filed it yet. it is in the nature of a declaratory judgment action we are asking the court to rule on the merits of the petition based on our virginia statute that we just enacted saying no mandates in virginia. in the federal law that says yes you must have a mandate unpenalty of law they can rule just on the nature of the legal brief and of the laws themselves. it is not going to take a lot of evidence. it is not going to take a number of hearings. i don't think the attorney general -- there's been a judge assigned. i don't think we've got a hearing scheduled yet. i think the impact is so significant of this particularly, there's no severability laws in the federal action i think the courts are going to want to

hear it soon. our law doesn't go into effect until july 1st. the federal mandate under the federal bill doesn't go into effect until december of 2013. it is not going to affect people of virginia immediately. but i think everybody wants to know what this answer is, because it could undermine the entire federal act. >> greta: interesting, because this goes to one specific part of the health care reform bill. is it your argument, or your belief if by chance the courts determine this provision about mandating insurance is unconstitutional, conflicts with the virginia statute, it would trump that aspect, does that mean the entire health care bill gets thrown out or just that which relates to the mandate? >> certainly the part that relates to the mandate. i think there is an argument that depending on what severeability pro fishings -- provisions that might be

applied by the court, that if this clause that is stricken as being unconstitutional isn't severe able from the rest of the legislation undermine the rest of the bill. if you don't have based on wait this bill is structured, if you don't have the individual mandate for everybody to purchase that i think the rest of the reforms sort of fall apart. because it is an intact policy it only works, which is why other alternatives reforms should have been looked at. i think really it is going to be a question for the court on whether there is or is not a severeability provision they can invoke we don't see one but that will be a question for the court. >> greta: i suppose i should remind the viewers that jury is not part of the litigation filed in florida because -- virginia is not part of litigation filed in florida because you have your own statute?

>> i think only idaho and virginia now have the specific statutes that we signed today that prevent an individual mandate from being applied to those states gave us a separate claim for standing and argument. florida and 12 other states have filed suit on this basis, not on statute but on the commerce clause issue as well as other grounds. those claims will stand on their own greta, we have our own independent action. >> greta: governor, thank you sir. >> greta nice to be with you, thanks a lot. >> greta: here's what is coming up on the o'reilly factor. bill: ann coulter shouted down at a university. dennis miller on joe by end and obama care. >> greta: o'reilly is at 11. we are on the record live until the top of the hour. next white house press secretary gibbs takes a jab at senator orrin hatch. guess what? senator hatch jabs back at

>> greta: i take it you are not thrilled by the fact that he's getting threatened? >> no, i think people have to quit doing things like that this is a tough job being a member of congress you are going to irritate people from time to time there's no excuse for anybody threatening a member of congress in fact it is a serious crime to do so. >> greta: suppose i'm 25, in my dreams of course, yes i know. i'm 25, i have no health insurance. i know if i get picked up, it can could $750, $2,000 for a penalty if i buy for a year probably going to cost more than. if i get really sick i'll get insurance at that point because i will be added on even with the preexisting problem, so what is the incentive for know buy insurance? >> there's not much now. for people who want to live in society and be respected you need to be a part of society

by doing whatever is necessary to take care of yourself and your family. some people can't do it. look, republicans wanted to help those people as well. what we didn't want to do is make it a federal government program that never helps peep the way it should. >> greta: what is the incentive for the way it is priced? i understand the need for people to protect themselves, but what is -- the way it is structured now, what is the financial incentive? if you get sick, you get insurance at that point. >> well, the fact is, young people aren't gonna want to do it the financial incentive is if they don't buy insurance they get penalized occupy to 2.4% of their income. they are going to pay for that and wait until they get sick and we'll have to count on society to pay the bill. >> greta: i know you are opposed to the bill signed by the president. >> right. >> greta: your state attorney general has signed on to this

lawsuit to challenge it. you're a lawyer your thoughts on it, any legs or is this -- >> back on hillary care they had a mandate in there. i didn't realize it, i didn't pay attention we were trying to defeat hillary care. the more i've looked at it, the more i've come to the conclusion it would be unconstitutional to force people to buy something they don't want to buy. the first time in history that the government could tell you you have to buy something you don't want to they say you have to buy auto . no you don't, you don't have in this case they are going to make you buy insurance you don't have any desire to, any reason to. frankly it would be the first time that your liberties would be taken away from you where you would be forced to do something you done want to do. constitutionally sound.

get in the event the judge agrees and the supreme court an grows is this the type of issue that would defeat the entire health care bill or that particular issue the required mandate? >> one of the thins about this bill the mandate is a big par. they want to force people to do whatever they want them to do. that's what you call totalitarianism. it is not really good government. in this country we believe in liberty. we believe in freedom. we believe people ought to have s. we believe they can make their own choices. if they choose not to buy something that is their privilege they can suffer the consequence force that if they don't. if they choose to buy it that's their privilege. to have the government say you have to buy this or we are going to penalize you. that's not america. that's not what we believe in. i understand the arguments behind mandating and everybody's to buy insurance. then it comes down to what

kind of insurance? a policy that the federal government designs for you? they are going to make a big determination as to what kind of policies you are going to have. you lose your individual freedom if the government can tell you, you have to buy something you don't want. >> greta: i take it there's a lot of hostility, here in the laugh 10 days or so, probably longer. is it toning down a little or still hot and heavy? >> there's a lot of animosity and bad feelings. there's euphoria on the part of the democrats because they were able to get this bill through if you look in the history of this country we've never had major sweeping piece of social legislation that is any good that's been passed by just a partisan vote. republicans want health care just as badly as they do. we think we should have started over and again step-by-step to bring in the things that we mutually agree on first and then compromise on the things that we can't

initially agree on. that's how it should be done around here. that's what brings people together. that's that's what gets of the animosity. that helps us to become functioning american working to the. but no, they were gonna ram this up our noses no matter what. they've succeeded. let me tell you this, everything that is wrong with health care is going to be the democrats. they are the ones who did this. they are the ones pushing this all over america. i think they are going to pay a heavy price for it over the years. right now there's a lot of euphoria on their part that is going to go when people start realizing what they've done to them. >> greta: you have press secretary gibbs jabbed you a bit. >> he did, i guess he forgot last year during the campaign the president was criticizing hillary clinton because of the individual mandate in her bill. we actually had an individual mandate in ours i didn't realize it at the time because we were realizing in stopping

hillary care. he promised people earning less than $200,000 a year will not have to pay any taxes. a quarter of american people are going to have to pay taxes on this bill who don't earn $200,000. there are other aspects of the bill that he's had to back off on. i might add, the president was for -- was again the individual mandate and criticizing hillary clinton for it. i think he was against it at that time in a right way. he was right at that time but funny how things change when you are out to try and pass something that is totally partisan. that basically the american people don't want and you think you can put over on the american people. >> greta: next, the best of the rest. former speaker of the house newt gingrich caught on camera. we have a picture of him that we cannot explain.
