28 straight months of job growth in the private sector. >> are you happy about 80,000 jobs last month. >> hold on a second, john. >> 69,000 a month before that. are you happy with those numbers? >> like i said, and president obama has said, we need to continue to improve and we need to do more and we need to work together. >> joining me with analysis of the president' president's planr of the book scoa "screwed", wele dick morris. here's my question for you. the democrats, the obama campaign, they've tried to warn women, they tried to atak attack bain, they tried the attack on the dog, and the latest attack is this. 120 days out, seems to me the last thing they want to talk about is the economy as evidenced by this talking point this weekend. watch this. >> i really like to see mitt

romney release more than one year of tax records because there's been disturbing reports recently that he's got a bermuda corporation, a secretive bermuda corporation that no one knows anything about, investments in the caymans. is that a swiss bank account. >> you either get a swiss bank account to conceal what you're doing or you believe the swiss frank is stronger than the american dollar. >> i've never i known of a swiss bank account to build an american bridge, create jobs ohr rebuild the levees in new orleans. >> quite frankly, he offshores most of his own personal investments presumably to shield them from taxes. >> all right. they all read the same talking points. they regurgitate them. what would you advise romney how to deal with that? what should he do, in your estimation? >> well, what romney is facing here is that obama doesn't want anyone to talk about the two

gigantic, huge, enormous issues confronting this country, the totally disastrous economy and the unpopular health care program. so he wants to talk about outsourcing, swiss bank accounts, the dog on top of the car during a vacation, taxing the wealthy, the whole bit. everything is a sideshow because he wants people to focus on that rather than the two major issues. that's a fool's errand. people know the major issues. i was so interested that obama spoke about returning the tax rates to the rates that prevailed under president clinton. that's a flat-out lie. while it is true that he would raise the tax rates on the upper bracket to 40% which is was under clinton, which, by the way, would generate $70 bill of revenue. not enough t to do significant damage to juan.4 trillion trillr deficit but bring the capital gains rate above where it was

when bill clinton was president. the thing that distinguished bill clinton's economy from the previous economies was not the tax increases but the tax decreases it was our cut in the capital gains rate that stimulated economic gains and it stimulated more gains revenue even though we cut the rate. if obama were to restore everything to the clinton period, that would be a very different situation. >> well, and interestingly it was bill clinton that said romney's qualified, he's up to the job, don't rescind the bush tax cats and he's using clinton to make that argument. he's talking about a million small business owners. let me go back to barack obama himself and he brought up this issue back in 2009 and he's saying you should not raise taxes during a recession. i want to play it for you and get your reaction on the other side. >> normally you don't raise taxes in recession which is why

we haven't, and why we have instead cut taxes, so i guess what i'd say to scott is his economics are right. you don't raise taxes in a recession. we haven't raised taxes in a recession. he's absolutely right. the last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of a recession because that would just suck up, take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole. >> seems like he's decided class warfare is more important, you know, for his reelection campaign, so i go back to my question. specifically because 120 days out, i think they're pushing this narrative hard. how does romney counter that? >> i think he stays on the fundamentals of the economy and of the health care issue. everybody knows those are the issues, and he pushes those, and obama's stuff becomes sideshows. nobody is going to take that terribly seriously, but on the underlying issue of the economy, shawn, i want to make this further point because it's

crucial. the reason we're in an economic disaster now is not because of the recession. that's three years over. we're in the same situation now because we and the entire rest of the world have run out of money. we've run out of capital, and the reason we've run out of capital is that barack obama borrowed six trillion more of it than there was when he took office, and the world doesn't have that kind of money, and when we get money because our government prints it, we hide it. we pay down our credit cards, we put it in cash in our vaults, and we don't spend it. and the world has frozen up because of that. the only way to unfreeze it is to reduce the spending. >> i agree with you in principle. for example, we have the first downgrade in american history, federal spending the highest since world war ii, the highest deficit since world war ii. federal debt the highest since

world war ii. there's a reason why axelrod and their campaign is doing this. it's because class warfare has traditionally worked for the democrats, and with 120 days out of an election, i don't think they can risk not responding in a very, very definitive way to what the president has decided to use as his major campaign strategy, and i think if they don't respond, i don't want to look back in this election and say oh, they should have responded. i think if they don't, they do so so their own peril, perhaps. >> the thing he has to respond to is the bain capital attacks. that cries out for a response about the job creation he's done. sean, while i have another minute left, hillary clinton on july 27th is going to sign an arms control treaty in new york that will provide a method of back door gun control in the united states. while the treaty allegedly regulates arms sales to third world countries, in in fact,

what it does is require an enforcement mechanism, allegedly to stop these arm sales to individuals and companies that, in fact, will wrie require registerable fierms. it's why obama has not talked about the gun issue. he's not planning to do it through congress. he's planning to circumvent congress and do it through treety power. if she signs that, we are obliged to follow it until the senate actually rejects continued at the senate will consider this during the lame duck session. it's approaching the decision point. americans have got to be aware of this danger, and a treaty repeals the second amendment. it overrides it because it has the force of a constitutional amendment. >> all right. dick morris, great to see you. appreciate it. great to have you back, and coming up tonight ... >> america will never tap into

educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have i, and i'm going to address this. >> congressman andre carson delivered yet another offensive remark. he's try to back track on that. the irs is about to dig deep into your pocket and it's all because of obama care. we'll look at how much the new health care tax will cost you and how much new irs agents will be hired as we check in with david limbaugh and kimberly gill guilfoyle. we'll have much nor straight ahead. wer surge, let it blow your mind.

>> sean: the supreme court's decision to uphold much of the controversy obama care law including labeling the individual mandate a tax is resulting in the irs hiring thousands of new employees to manage this mon trosty. that's right, obama's health care law will require citizens, that means you, to provide proof on your tax return that you have bought and purchased health insurance. the irs will now be charged with policing how you and your family make decisions about medical care. according to the white house, remember. the mandate is not a tax. >> that's what the supreme court said. joining me now, the author of "new york times" best seller, great destroyer, david limbaugh is here. they're celebrating the one-year anniversary as the huge breakout cable hit of the year. congratulations. >> we're very excited. >> we're very happy.

>> >> i have bob beckel to celebrate with later. >> good luck with that. >> sean: it's a penalty. it's not a tax. now it's a tax to get it through. they say it's still a penalty, but not tafntle they disagree with the streak decision. the question is what does that mean for the irs. >> the irs has gone under a huge hiring influx to try and manage this law. imagine trying to manage this. for the 23578s, the penalties and fines coming forward. it's really such a burden on american families and it's so arrogant and inconsiderate that he doesn't even think about the actual financial impact of this and what it's going to have. we need less irs, not more. >> sean: you're both lawyers. david, do you remember when oral argue points when the solicitor general couldn't remember if it was tax or a penalty and he had to be corrected by the justices. at one point they said -- i

think it was kagan, one of the liberal justices said does that mean somebody will have broken a law. >> do they have to put that on their application that they violated federal law, and they said no. what is the real outcome of this? >> well, i mean, it's a little ridiculous for them to say it's not a penalty because you are being penalized and some conservative commentators are saying it's no big deal, it's a pement, they can't force you. when did we become so number to tyranny. even though justice roberts rewrote the law to character eyes it as a tax instead of a penalty and how ominous that is for congressional authority under the constitution, we have to make obama own it as a tafntle he vascillated back and forth when it was tunestic. >> he sold it, it's not a tax. >> there's no conscience. he doesn't care.

it's all about the win. now they decide it's politically bad to have verbiage and call it a tax. we disagree with the court, but we'll take the win anyway. what kind of integrity and character is that? it's lack and absence. he doesn't care and there's no regard. >> it's being called the new gestapo. let's roll the tape. >> this decision has made america less free. we, the people, have been told there is no choice. you must buy health insurance or pay the new g eflestapo, the ir. >> pretty strong word. >> everybody knows what he means. people fear the irs. the liberals who are outraged about this prefer we call them benefactors or well wishers? law-abiding citizens fear the irs. it's an adverse i can' ad versa.

there was half a billion off the appropriations budget. there's no telling how much this thing will cost. 21 new taxes, and it's also according to treasury, inspector general, it's the largest set of tax law changes in 20 years. >> and 13,000 pages so far. it's recognize. >> sean: justice scalia asked if we are expected to read all 3,000 pages. >> i have often excoriated by your colleague, beckel, when i call the president president cry baby. >> that makes him mad. >> here's a new ad. i want to get your thoughts. >> barack obama's got lots of excuses for the bad economy. >> we've had a string of bad luck. an earthquake in japan, an atm. you don't go to a bank teller. things we could not control.

you go to the airport and you're using a kiosk. >> we've been a little lazy i think over the last couple decades. >> obama never blames washington's wild spending and skyrocketing debt. >> is that a good ad? >> yeah. i mean, i think it's effective in terms of cutting out, pointing out exactly what he's doing. people can't be afraid to expose it, to talk about it, to say how this has a huge constitutional impact and what it means for the future. call him out on it. > >> sean: what do you think, david? >> i totally agree. take the gloves off. romney has to do what he did to his republican rival, the opposite of what mccain d did. obama has to be called out. he has so many inconsistent statements. it's preposterous. > >> sean: i brought this up with dick morris because with 120 days out, they have doubled down on class warfare. now they're saying well, indicate man islands and every distrack but to deal with their record. how does romney deal with these

attacks. if they don't respond they're making a big mistake. >> it makes them look sheepish like they're afraid to engage. put the gloves on. >> like he did with newt gingrich. >> absolutely. i mean, and newt is a for middable potent. he needs to take a little bit from newt and move forward. >> sean: i've not seen that side of the romney campaign yet. i don't think they're hitting as hard as they did in the primary. maybe it's not the right time. i'm not the expert. what do you think? >> people are concerned. i mean, you see some good things, but they see some timidity. it seems like romney is a bit ashamed of his wealth. he is tentative about it. he needs to be unapologetic about it. he needs to talk about rising tide lifts all boat. he needs to talk about obama expanding the dependency class, not expanding opportunity. this is a nation that has to recover and reclaim american and

growth, and we have to focus on obama's record. >> sean: you hit it. be unapologetic about success. the biggest deal this president had in his life is the corrupt deal with resident co. that's his business experience. >> he's never made a payroll. he doesn't know. >> get him to quit attacking private jet owners and successful people. you cannot possibly have a positive business climate. >> people fix them, people fly them, people put them in hangars, a lost jobs created. >> he has his own plane. look at the new taxes. it's actually a tax hike on anybody over 250, punishing entrepreneurship. >> one million businesses have job creators. >> noib is expanding because of obama care. >> sean: thanks, guys, good to see you both. coming up, florida congressman alan west has released harsh language when it

>> sean: last year the federal government miss takenly overpaid $14 billion in your dollars in the form of up loimen loiment bs leaving the labor department scrambling to recover the lost funds. while most unemployment benefits go to americans truly in need, the overpaid funds end up in the hands of those who are ineligible to receive them. in other words, people who are no longer working for work or left their jobs voluntarily. not surprising when my next guest was asked about the president's promotion of entitlements, he has thi this to say. >> he wants you to not have the self esteem of getting up and saying an american, he'd rather

you be a slave. >> joining me with more, the man you heard from, colonel allen west. welcome back, sir. >> thanks so much for having me awn, sean. >> when you say social security dissability lavery, a lot of people pay st into that their entire lives. agree or disagree with the program, a lot of people say wait a minute, that's my money. i paid into this. that was the assurances that were given me. >> well, there's something different between social security and social security disability. when you talk about how journalism has died and you don't have people properly reporting, when you look at the facts, since june of 2009 the obama administration has created about 2.6 million jobs, but there have been 3.1 million americans that have gone on social security disability. as a matter of fact, in june when you only had 80,000 private sector jobs created, you had 85,000 americans going on social security disability. so my question is just the same as you just brought up about unemployment benefits. is this program really going toward its intended purposes of

helping individuals who are disaibilityd, who cannot go out and work, or is it a matter of the 99 or 79 weeks of unemployment benefits when they were running out. now you see people running to apply for social security disability funding which in our district down in south florida, you can see billboards with lawyers advertising how they can get you on social security disability. >> well, all right. the percentage of taxpayers, we know has never been lower. 49% of americans pay no federal income tax. they're not vested in the system. this is what makes this an historic election or a tipping point election. the question here is when republicans in any way in the past, when they discuss social security and they talk about preventing it from going bankrupt, it's a third rail. then you get paul ryan throwing granny over the cliff. is it politically speaking not smart to talk about a program that obviously the american people like? >> well, first of all, i can be

a politician and continue to tell the american people what they want to hear, but the truth is this. the actuaries and trustees of social security and medicare in their fiscal 2012 report said medicare will be bankrupt in 2024 and social security nine years later in 2330. we'll see a degradation of benefits from 25 to 30%. one of the most important things to do is to strengthen social security. i believe in protecting and preserving it. that's when i look at such political gimmicks such as this payroll tax cut, it's really defunding of social security and it's pushing closer to the cliff. so i think that we've got to get americans back to work. when you look at our work force participation rate, it's at a 31-year lower at only 63.7 percen%.we're driving people toe comment on government, not driving people to open up small business opportunities and promote our business development, production and manufacturing in this country. >> look. if we look at unemployment, it is at 58.1%.

it's the lowest since 1983. long term unemployment, the highest since the 1930s, so the numbers do speak for themselves. let me go to the social security issue. we know in the next 120 days what this campaign is about. it's about dogs on top of cars, class warfare, it's about bain capital, it's the red herrings about bank accounts in the caymans, war on women, so the question is do you believe the american people, do you believe that they are willing to accept austiausterity measures to balae the budget. to not borrow money, to not run up record deficits. are they prepared for that? >> i think when the american people see a plan for our economic security, they will react as the voters did in wisconsin, and i think that that's what we have to do. we have to draw a complete

contrast between who we are as fiscal conservatives, constitutional conservatives, believing in limited government and fiscal responsibility and individual sovereignty which is so important. we cannot continue to go down the path of a president that believes you can use the tax code for behavior modification which is really the decision that came out of the supreme court reference obama care. we also see today where the president believes he can use the tax code to pick the winners and losers based on his own ideological agenda. we need to have the discussions with the american people and give them the truth and not continue to knuckle down because liberal media wants to take their south bite rhetoric to intimidate you. >> african-american and youth unemployment is at 50%. if you look at the black community, unemployment is at the highest level in more than 20 years. >> 14.4%. >> sean: double digit s in the hispanic community. overwhelmingly, the

african-american community voted for barack obama. polls show he will win the majority of the african-american vote again. when you use the word slavery, that's the word that seems to have ignited this firestorm. what is your reaction to your critics for using this word? >> i don't care about my critics. i understand that my country is at a very perilous situation, and i'm going to use the type of words that are necessary to get the attention of the american people. look, sean. i commanded a battalion in combat. i didn't sit down before we launch and said the men and women we would have nice, cold water and warm chow and nobody would shoot at us. i made sure they were prepared to go into the combat zone. i want to make sure the united states of america that has been around for 236 years as a beacon of liberty, freedom, and democracy, continues for our subsequent generations. i don't care about critics. i don't care about the liberal media. >> sean: what would you do if you're mitt romney and the attacks they're using against him and trying to distract

interest obama's record. how would you defend against that? >> well, very simply i would go back to the quote from alexander the great. fortune favors the bold. the american people are looking for a bold plan of action that centers around our economic security, our energy security, our national security. i say don't chase the little shining toy that the lisch ral media and prosecutives like to put out there, you talked about war on women or some other means by which they want to dwight us and pit -- divide us and pit us against each other. we've got to talk to the american people. that's the bottom line. that's what i would advise governor romney to do. >> sean: last question. we know that the governor is vetting women. we know that marco rubio is under consideration. governor palin on this program said she thinks you would be a great choice for vice-president. do you know if you might yourself be being vetted for that position of vice-president? >> well, if someone is doing it, they have not let me know, and

my biggest focus it t is to be d congressional representive. if i have to be that voice crying out in the wilderness right now, i'll continue to do that. this country that i love so dearly, i'm not going to sit around and watch anyone destroy it or take it down the road to perditiion. >> he said he wanted to see members hanging from truce. andre carson is suggesting schools find information in medroses. we'll look at andre carson as "hannity" continues. this is so off course. nature can surprise you sometimes... next time, you drive. next time, signal your turn. ...that's why we got a subaru.

>> sean: democratic congressman andre carson is coming under heavy fire for a speech that he delivered. >> america will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where

innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the quran, and that model that we're pushing in om of sour schools meets the multiple needs of students. >> now the congressman is backtracking saying he is advocating all faith-based schools. this is just one more outrageous statement coming from the congressman. meanwhile, an official is calling for jihad against israel, and joining me now to talk about all these issues from the american together foundation, michael and bridget. >> thanks for being with us. >> you don't believe in his back tracking. he was very clear that ingenuity we have in our madrassas and where the foundation is the quran. he wasn't talk about all faiths there. he was talking about madrassas. aren't madrassas where the

radicalism is taught? >> well, he made two mistakes. one, he is representing the people of indiana and he's supposed to uphold the constitution and not support any religion in particular, tick he shouldn't be talking about that. the second mistake he made which is a blunder, he failed to distinguish between the madrassas. therthere is a madrassas we cred and funded in pakistan. he should distinguish between those two. >> sean: let me ask her. >> also, sean, the christians and pa palestinian the called te schools madrassas. >> sean: barack obama talked

about in his own book that he studied the quran in indonesia at a muslim school. if anybody says he's a muslim or he studied a madrassas, they're under heavy fire. i accept that he went to jeremiah wright's church and he's a christian. that's not the issue. if you say madrassas, you're talking about what? >> well, the a arabic word for school is madrassas. what we're hearing now is the islamic schools where the qurann is only taught. where is the innovation? show me across the globe. where are the scientific advancements, the medical advancements, where are the nobel prize winners. the most famous madrassas in the united states, the saudi academy, in virginia, their value decvaledictorian wanted to

assassinate president bush. our schools put a man on the moon, created cars, invented airplanes, invented the internet, invented medical technologies throughout the world. >> sean: mike, you were wrong. obama was wrong. we now have a radical that has called -- that has attacked israel on many occasions that is now this charge of egypt. the same thing is happening in libya. we have a top muslim brotherhood cleric in egypt that's urging jihad against the israelis. we've got video of the taliban, radical islamic faith on video showing an execution of a woman. why? we'll put it up on the screen. for adultery. we can't show the video, obviously, so my question to you is how can this president be so wrong about so many instances involving the muslim brotherhood? >> well, sean, israel's security

is very critical to us. >> sean: i asked how the president could be so wrong. >> the president is not on this particular square. >> sean: he wasn't wrong about the muslim brotherhood coming into power? >> what do you do? what are the choices? israel's security is at stake. we need to do everything to protect that security. >> sean: the muslim brothers are calling for war with israel, jihad against israel. >> we have our own nut cases. there are nut cases every place. >> sean: you said it would not happen, mike, never happen in egypt. you were wrong. >> the nut cases will always be there. it will always happen. we have to work through this. he has to deal with the constitution. >> sean: quick answer. >> obama needs to be wise in dealing with our enemies. we are empowering them the more

we show them credibility and lift them to the point where we're inviting to meet and negotiate. that's the wrong message to send. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. i appreciate it. let not your heart be troubled. beckel is back. our great, great, great american panel is next. according to ford, the works fuel saver package could literally pay for itself. jim twitchel is this true? yes it's true. how is this possible? proper tire inflation, by using proper grades of oil, your car runs more efficiently, saves gas.

obama's which means the enthusiasm on the right is higher than the enthusiasm on the left. >> the issue is the economy. the economy is in trouble. isn't it interesting with the supreme court ruling the way they ruled on obama care, his signature legislation for a year and a half. after that obama is still in trouble, and you know why? because people understand that we can't pay for this stuff. you can't pay for it with the economy in the shape it's in. more and more entitlements. we want jobs, we don't want entitlements. >> everything he has done been unpopular. people don't like the health care law. >> sean: you're confident that 120 days from now that fox news can project that mitt romney is the next president of the united states? >> i can't say for sure because i think a lot will depend on what mitt romney does between now and then, what he's able to do. >> that's a big problem. >> these voting blocks that were excited about obama, young voters, female voters, hispanic numbers. the unemployment numbers are sky

high. >> he beats mitt romney among hispanics 1 72 to 19. you know why? the reason for that is because the republicans -- because obama did allow 800,000 people to stay in the country which is a good thing to do. >> sean: in other words, he decided to do something that he said was unconstitutional. he himself said it was unconstitutional, so because he did that, he's saying that he went -- >> what's wrong with the ledbetter act. that helped women get equal pay. you don't like that? you don't want to talk about ref reverend white wright came outd said things, and president obama for the first 30 years of his life, his single greatest influence wasn't a factors it was reverend wright. how can you get away from that? >> we're talking about this. >> we were going to talk about

>> sean: we continue with our great, great, great american panel. we're on the air. mr. beckel, i played this. you know what i love about democrats? they're good at sticking to their talking points. we could have literally put another five or ten examples. this is the talking point over the weekend, mitt romney, cayman islands, secret bank accounts. >> i'd really like to see mitt romney release more than one year of tax records because there's been disturbin disturbis recently that he's got a bermuda corporation, a secretive bermuda corporation that no one knows anything about. he's got a swiss bank account. >> you either get a swiss bank account to conceal what you're doing or you believe the swiss frank is stronger than the american dollar. >> i've never known of a swiss bank account to build an american bridge, to create american jobs, or swiss bank accounts to rebuild the levees to protect the people of new orleans. that's not an economic strategy

for moving our condition forward. >> quite frankly, he offshores most of his own personal investments presumably to shield them from taxes. >> sean: it's just a bunch of zombies that read these talking points that beckel's friends write. >> i think this is the weakest stuff because it's his experience with the economy. maybe that's what got him reach. maybe that's what will help the country out of the economic doll drums. why should that be held against him. >> sean: that he's part of organized crime or a drug dealer? can i finish? he actually created jobs, bob, unlike this president. >> can i add i think it's funny that the administration is talking about transparency. this is the fast and furious administration. all of a sudden they want tarantulas parent see. what about the transparency with fast and fu furious and solyndr. >> why is it relevant? >> wait a minute. why is it selective

transparency? >> sean: you mean those guys that got solyndra money? >> i'm talking about people like the koch brother. these guys sold arms. did you know that? >> sean: you know some of the things george soros was involved in? >> how is it a scandal if he has a swiss bank account? >> i don't think that's a scab . i think mitt romney has every right in the world to have a four-car elevated garage. he earned it by sending jobs overseas. >> sean: they obviously want to distract from his horrific economic record. the question is 120 days out, does this have an impact? i think the romney campaign needs to pop back hard. i want to see romney hit obama as hard as he hit newt gingrich and his other opponents in the primary. >> that's what i'm hoping for,

too. i think romney has a chance to own this argument. i don't think americans at their core like class war far. >> sean: i disagree. i think it works more than you think. >> i want to see him hit the tax argument more. we have the obama care tax now. what about the hidden taxes? >> what about all the other taxes. >> barack obama is the greatest economic president sings president roosevelt. >> i would say something but you won't like it. greta is next. president obama and republicans duking it out over extending the bush tax cuts. both sides have one thing in common. neither has a fix. why? you hear from both republicans and democrats. house republicans start their push to repeal the national health care law. they're making their first move. what are senate republicans doing? they are facing an even bloodier battle. senator or written hatch goes on
