the monday before and they shouldn't be. afraid of her. >> i think she should go. >> you are wrong. >> i want to say congratulations for the guy who won the medal of honor today. >> are you throwing us out tonight? >> thank you. >> yeah. >> sean: by the way, that's all the time we have left. not yet -- we weren't on camera. greta is next. take us out. >> spiral! >> greta: tonight, he finally did it. get ready for the royal wedding, because england prince william popped the question to his long-time girlfriend kate middleton. >> it's been for quite a long time and you get to know och're very, very well. you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. grew personally within our relationship as well. i think you can come out of that stronger. learn things about yourself.

certainly, certainly -- yeah, it's been a good -- [ inaudible ] how long? >> three or four. >> greta: more with the happy couple coming up, but first, congress may be in a lame duck session but republican congressman mike pence is busy. he went "on the record." good to see you. wonderful building, isn't it? >> a beautiful and an historic building. standing in between the original house chamber and where the house of representatives meets today. >> greta: never gets old, does it? >> it really never does. >> a member of rising majority, my wife and i came in statutory hall and greeted the throng of men and women elected to congress. capital dome never looked better to this republican. >> greta: now to the nuts and bolts of what you guys are doing. after you get done looking at

the beautiful building. heavy lifting today. what did you do? >> we introduced legislation to deal with quantitative easing, qe2. there is an effort underway by the federal reserve to print money as means of fiscal policy. around the election time. the federal reserve announced they would authorize $600 billion to purchase bonds by the treasury department. there is a concern among millions of american what is we're trying to do here, however quietly is initiate inflation and ultimately devalue the dollar and monotize the debt in the long term. my line today is printing money is no substitute for sound fiscal policy. we ought to make sure that the fed is exclusively focussed on protecting the dollar. >> greta: if the fed puts the cash in the system and devalues the currency it puts

us in the game a little bit vis-a-vis china. china had devalued currency for a long time and made the import-export imbalance that it's painful to the american people. is it possible if we did devalue the currency more people would be buying our products and that would help the economy? >> in fact, initiating -- that is the fascinating thing about qe2 and the troubling thing, the federal reserve in an effort to lower unemployment rate, they are attempting to initiate inflation in this country. inflation is taxation. you just take value from americans, from the saving and investment. if inflation kicks in and we cheapen the dollar, americans are the loser. >> greta: flip to taxes. bush tax cuts of 2001. where do you stand on that?

>> tomorrow i'll do it in the house and demint will do it in the senate and we'll introduce legislation to make the tax rates permanent. there is talk about the compromise and a deal. our position is higher taxes won't get anybody hired. >> greta: everybody? >> absolutely. that's a good start. if the current tax rates were enough to get the economy moving again the economy would be moving. make sure no american faces tax increase in january. if congress fails to act before we adjourn, you will see $2.9 trillion tax increase. the average family sees $1,500 per family, the largest tax increase in american history to ecreate certainty, to encourage businesses and invest in ways to create jobs and opportunity for americans. make the tax cuts permanent

and then pursue the additional tax relief to get the economy moving. >> greta: is your position on taxes founded it will help the economy? or is it a political philosophy that people shouldn't be taxed or people should be taxed equally no matter if you are at the high or low end? >> as a conservative, what you tax you get less of and what you subsidize you get more of. i believe in low marginal tax rates as growth. this is about jobs today. >> greta: if we extend tax cuts to everybody, top to bottom, that will have a better effect on the economy through jobs? >> yeah, look. the recent election was rejection of the american liberalism. the obama-pelosi agenda on capitol hill. not only boar erowing and bail-out and takeout, but the higher taxes that have been planned. the americans are rejecting the class warfare.

they know half of the americans file taxes above the leverage that are ready to raise taxes are small businesses on the farm. higher taxes won't get anybody hired. jim demint in the senate and myself in the house as well as our colleagues will work to extend all the current tax rates permanently. >> greta: i take it there is no "compromise" in the sense that everybody gets it permanently. there is no wiggle room in terms of the white house would like to do maybe make it period of time. some scheme like that. are you opposed to any of that? >> i believe in the interest of hurting families and interest of millions of americans that are unemployed or underemployed we ought to make tax cuts permanent. >> greta: no wiggle room at all? >> no compromise on ending the era of run-away spending, borrowing and bail-out there.

should be no compromise on higher taxes on any americans. that i election is extraordinary. we almost couldn't fit all the incoming freshman in statutory hall for the dinner sunday night that speaker elect boehner hosted. the american people didn't just vote to change congress, they voted to change direction. that includes let's not raise taxes on anyone next year. >> greta: i understand how the american people voted but a practical matter there is another step. you have to get people to agree, certain number of votes to achieve something. you may draw a line in the sand and say it's non-negotiable, because american people don't want taxes raised but the fact is if you want to achieve something you may wheel and deal a little bit. on some issues. >> i understand that. that is the typical horse trading on capitol hill. >> greta: do you expect it here? >> i don't. i think we won the argument with the american people. >> greta: what is going to

happen? >> the american people also have a seat at the table. this isn't just about president obama and harry reid and the democrats and republicans in the house and senate. the american people have a seat at the table and they've said enough is enough. we don't want more spending or taxes or bail-out. >> greta: what happens? you file your bill and democratic majority in the house, you win or lose? >> we will introduce the legislation tomorrow. and we incourage both political parties to join us. anybody that didn't get the message two weeks ago today responsible for raising taxes on americans in the worst economy in 25 years might get the message 24 months from now. all bets are off. we won the argument with the american people and we should stand that no americans should see tax increase, extend current tax rates permanently.

let's have the debate and vote. >> greta: counting numbers you don't have a mar joy thety in the house and don't have it in the senate. doesn't look like you will get it in the lame duck, right? >> difficult to say. >> greta: it would be unusual. >> sure. do i expect nancy pelosi to allow a vote on the floor to extend current tax rates permanently? number one, if she did that, i think it would pass. last time i checked 38 democrats are in favor of the tax breaks to one degree or another. she might not be willing to do it, but who knows. have the debate and introduce the bill. if democrats adjourn and allow the average family to face $1,500 tax increase in january, small business owners and family farmers facing the higher taxes on the savings and ininvestment and inheritance in january will bring it right back.

we will fight to make sure no one sees the tax increase and make it permanent. >> greta: after you file and this percolates among the members will you come talk to us about it to see where we stand? >> you bet. >> greta: thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> greta: guilty. the breaking news exploded in washington today. charles rangel found guilty on 11 counts of violating ethics rules. among violations failure to disclose income from property in dominican republic and use of rent controlled apartment in harlem as campaign office. they will now decide what punishment if any to recommend for charles rangel. the entire house will vote on any recommendation. for his part, charles rangel is defiant calling the process unfair. he won re-election earlier in month. stay with fox news for the latest breaking news about this story. next, john thune wants two-year time-out. time-out on what? he will tell you next.

nice to see you again. >> nice to see you, greta. >> greta: i want to get it straight on your view of earmarks and whether we should have them or not have them. >> the american people spoke on that and made it clear they want action on earmarks. we had a number of votes in the last congress. republicans put forward amendments on the senate floor to reform the process by which we spend their money. they were defeated. we had a resolution to put the republicans on record. asking the democrats to follow our lead. >> greta: earmarks are fraction of what we spend? >> people across the country equate earmarks with corruption.

there has been abuses of the earmarks over the years. >> this is way to make a clear statement that we've heard what they said in the election and we intend to change. >> public thinking about the earmarks is it's billions of dollars spent on why frogs like to leap or something like that. a lot of money sent for the shock trauma you wants. to upgrade it to take care of people. whatever. there are good earmarks. >> not all earmarks are created equal. by the number of earmarks ballooned. the way they're passed makes everyone raise questions about the process we use to pass these things.

earmarks at the 11th hour that didn't pass the senate. group of people putting earmarks in the bill. it became abusive. there are worthwhile things funded that way. there is an argument of the support for congress making spending decision. we acknowledge there is a problem. we have want a time-out. look at the process and clean it up to figure out how it make sense for the american people. >> why is a moratorium? why not get rid of them? why not get rid of them. >> you could. for purposes of the exercise

we went through, we decided two-year reform on the earmarks. we want to provide the level of confidence and trust that people should have in their leaders if they're manging good prudent fiscally sound decisions. it was a resounding yes when we had the vote. >> greta: what percentage of the budget is discretionary spending? >> if you count defense it's a third. it's a sixth and a small amount overall but if you roll it back, and say $450 billion in ten years.

in the last two years non-defense discretionary spending increased. inflation over that same time period was 2%. so the federal government is growing ten times the rate of inflation. you can't justify that to the american people. if we go to 2008 levels we could save money. >> greta: suppose it happens, it s it not true that the rules could be suspended or changed. one day they could vote for it but in application it's under the carpet. >> if we get a vote on it, and affirmative vote on that, that continues to be -- >> greta: it's a problem? >> every year you do new appropriations process and new budget. if we have the political will to make hard decisions today, it will make it easier to make decisions in the future. >> greta: can you see how americans could be cynical

because we see situations where the good ideas passed and then as the time marches on, the gud ideas are suspended and we're back to bad ideas. >> that is true. but over time what we saw from the election is eresounding state fire department the american people that they think the government overreached and growing too fast and sgoten too big. they want it stopped and want to shrink the size of the federal government. get spending in washington under control. if we don't change our ways we're on the road to a train wreck. we have a few years to turn it around. we're running $13 trillion debt. economy is $14 trillion. on a pathway to put us in the same category as countries in europe that are struggling. greece, ireland and portugal

indemonstrates a capability of a capability used for malicious purposes. what does that mean? ambassador bolton, 18 minutes, should we be alarmed? >> we should be concerned. this doesn't conclude it's a deliberate effort by china to hijack the data, but it could have been a technical glitch. the fact is, if we look at what we know about increasing chinese cyber activities, they are actively stealing data, proprietary data from american companies. it wouldn't surprise me if it was deliberate effort. >> greta: if you look at those hacked. army, navy, marine corps, nasa, department of congress.

it's not the local grade school. >> china has thousands of engineers and specialists who do this on a daily basis. they have extraordinarily complex cyber capability and they use it. some of is it an edenial of service attack, bringing down the computer network. a lot of it is theft. a lot of this is classified but it's probably as explicit as it could be. we node more public discussion, because this constitutes a serious threat to the united states and the friends around the world. >> greta: are we at the point or protented from people entering the banking system or the power grid? >> i think those are the targets. you have seen the russians taking down acetonian

computer system in the conflict with georgia, destroying their communication capabilities, including communication with the united states. i think the chinese are flexing the cyber muscles with respect to u.s., japan, south korea. this is something in actual warfare could be devastating to our capabilities. >> greta: what are we doing about this? >> not enough. there is heightened awareness in the government. >> greta: but we can see it coming rather than prevent it. does that make you feel any better? >> i'm getting to that point. i think we have to look at this as not just some chinese college grad student and his dorm room late at night. this is a concerted effort by china and russia we ought to respond to. it's unclear here when you get in actual warfare. there is a big range of activities in the clandestine

operations category we ought to direct against china. experimenting with the offensive capability of our own. >> greta: i don't want to be paranoid but we have a situation where china have 18 minutes when they hacked in the system. inadvertently or purposefully. we have a situation that manipulate in theed currency so they don't want to buy our products. they hold down their debt and won't help with us north korea. what is good sign? those seem like bad signs. >> there are other bad sipes as well. all six u.s. air bases in east asia are in within range of chinese or ballistic or choose capabilities. in real conflict the bases could be eliminated. what we need is leadership from the administration. the president has a problem seeing adversary around the

world. i'm not saying china is in one way being adversary but one way is to appear weak in response. >> what is the leverage? we stand there and talk tough? what leverage do we have to talk tough? >> we have enormous leverage. this business over china holding american debt is vastly overstated. the economy is joined for reasons to make it hard to assert leverage. in the chinese ramping up the nuclear capability. what are we doing in response? we find it hart to assert the interest around the world. we saw it in the president asia's trip, humiliating in many respects. we need them to pay attention

striking. but last fiscal year it was 1600. >> the vast majority were employees. >> and now? >> well, now the number of the employers that are getting arrested has gone from 100 to few 100 nationwide. it can be difficult to prosecute someone criminally to prove they knowingly hired someone here illegally. . >> greta: what happens if you get arrested? what are the penalties like? >> i don't remember but you can go to jail. three years ago we had an immigration raid in new bedford. the owner was prosecuted.

jailtime and fines in the thousands of dollars. >> greta: are the employers using -- are they looking to whether the employees are eligible to work illegally? >> they are doing it regardless of the enforcement effort. it's growing by thousands a month, including massachusetts where it's not mandatory like in other states. especially after the enforcement action, the employers tell me they are sign up for ee-verify and they say it works for them. >> greta: is there a way to judge the pulse of new england area on the issue? people in arizona are on fire of this. how about massachusetts? >> echo of arizona around the country and in massachusetts, too. a few years ago, massachusetts backed away from policy to help the state

police enforce the immigration law and considered immigrant friendly state. in recent months the the state legislature was cracking down. in may, they passed amendment that would have explicitly barred students getting in-state tuition. and other kind of benefits as well for the illegal immigrants. >> the train shifted -- >> greta: sorry i cut you off. i have to go. thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> greta: for the first time in nearly 40 years living member of the military has been presented the medal of honor. today at the white house, president obama awarded the highest honor to staff sergeant who distinguished himself on october 25, 2007 when the plafoon was ambushed in afghanistan. he faced wall of bullet and chased down two of those. and two soldiers died. the sergeant said i'd give it
