we are going to calm bob beckel down during the break. [screeching] [dejectedly] oh. [screeching] [barks] (man) if you think about it, this is what makes the ladders different from other job-search sites. [screeching] we only work with the big talent. [all coughing] welcome to the ladders-- a premium job site for only $100k-plus jobs and only $100k-plus talent. here you go. whoa! that's some serious insurance. ding-ding-ding! ding! ding! fun fact -- progressive is the number-one truck insurer. yeah, great service at the right price. and nowadays, my business depends on it. do you have anything like that for my car? yes! our car insurance comes with 24/7 claim service, and you can save hundreds. so, what you haulin'? oh, eight-year-olds to soccer practice. nine! sean: and we continue now with the great american panel. all right, we have two former presidents. you worked for mondale. you ran his campaign. and carter. ok. bringing up the issue that if you disagree with the anointed one, somehow, there must be some racial component your disag

sean: bob beckel, time and time again on this program.veryone knows his views, radical left wing, socialist, he says he is a democrat. but what may surprise you is that he actually has a conservative brother. he is actor gram beckel who has appeared in hit tv shows grey's anatomy and csi. pearl harbor and l.a. confidential. >> this is for ours poncho. sean: for the first time ever brothers beckel join me. gram, bob, thank you. first of all, what happened to him? you are normal. you are a conservative, right? >> that's so true. my brother wasn't looed by my mother in the same way i was. >> if i can point out here that at birth, he is one of my best friend ends in the world. you are my brother. you were both dropped on your heads at bitter. >> apparent live that's a good thing that happened. we are straight and you are crazy. >> let's get back down there. sean: before you a take over the show as you normally do. let me ask you a question. when you watch him on this show and he makes the comment. he does it every week just to tick me off. ba

sean: 10 tonight on our panel, a fox news contributor, bob beckel is here.mer pennsylvania senator and a current columnist for "the philadelphia enquirer to speak and a senior fellow at a public policy center, rick santorum is on board, and she is miss america 2008. she is with us. welcome aboard. thank you for being with us. why the look? you are starting in already? >> do not get aggressive. sean: your brother really got you in that debate. >> i have gotten more comment about that. sean: ok, tax the wealthy and spread the wealth around. ok. this infuriated me. the story about roman polanski, a well-known director, etc., etc. he was over 40 years old. he goes to jack nicholson's house with a 13-year-old girl, palms this girl with quayle is an alcohol, rapes her, then leaves the country -- pumps the girl with drugs and alcohol. people in poland, a french presence sarkozy, and others are saying it was long ago, so we should leave alone -- people in poland, french president sarkozy. ho>> oh he needs to serve for te consequences of his actions. the only sticky

bob beckel, let me ask you a question.ng us. if that is the case, why do these proposals not take effect until 2013? >> it will take time to set up insurance exchanges and cooperatives. by the way, the congressional budget office and other economic groups have said in another 10 years, people will be spending 40% of their income on health care. if you take the status quo, you are dead. john, the skeptics are wondering whether mr. obama wants to run for re-election before this takes effect. >> that is probably skepticism that is ill-placed. if you are trying to change a health care system that had been in the hands of insurance companies after all these years, it will take a while. if republicans vote against this, next year in the campaign season for the insurance companies, you are in good hands. >> it is all about politics. when you look at these polls, what ever bounce that president obama after his speech to a joint session, it is now lost and over. 50% of the american people do not want this radical remaking of the he

sean: we have bob beckel on and he'll be disrespectful to me and i'll be respectful back. l seriousness, i think not doing fox was a mistake but we know why by looking at that montage. he literally regurgitates the same phrases. when he speaks the numbers for health care go down. latest rasmussen poll, 56% of americans now oppose, 43% support. this is after the big push, this is after the sunday shows. it's not working. so i'm all in favor of him doing this. >> we still don't know the details. i've taken a look in "what americans really want, really." in the book i studied what americans really want from health care. the problem what barack obama is saying is not what the american people actually want, even though his words have clearly been poll tested in focus groups. you've got a chart your control room that if they can put up, there are specific things the public is asking for. it's a right not a privilege. and i say this to conservatives that the american people, almost 80% believe they have the right to health care. we're human beings, here not numbers. we're not abou

with me now is bob beckel. we also have our republican consultant, anderson taurus. ing to happen today as a result of everything that has come out of the last several days, but, bob, should he stay or should he go? >> no doubt he will go. maybe he will be filing for unemployment by tuesday. there is a bigger question here, the vetting process. how did he get through this? this is not just the white house obama team. i have been in the white house before and i have been vetted by the secret service. for someone who is a self- proclaimed communist, if all of these things are true, i am surprised that he was given a pass. on the comment about republicans, truth is one thing. i have used that word myself. bill: but you are not giving him a pass? andrea, why is he still are around? >> you have never used that word to describe me, right? just the other republicans. look, he has to go. put aside his political -- obvious political affiliations, racism. the fact that he was arrested, tied to the socialist group. on a day when unemployment is at 9.7%, he is tapped to bring in

tonight on our great, great american panel, he is a fox news contributor, all around left-wing guy, bob beckelis the editor of one of the largest conservative communities online. erick is with us. she is the member of a former pop group that recently graced the cover of "playboy" magazine. welcome aboard. good to see you. before we get to some of the more political targets, i always wanted the u.s. out of the un that have come up with an advocate report that includes sex education guidelines -- international sex educational guidelines for kids. 5-8 year-old son pulled that touching and rubbing it one's genitals is masturbation. do you think that is appropriate for a five year-old kid to be learning? >> absolutely. we have to remember that this is a united nations program. a five year-old in new york is different than a 5-year-old child in its third world country. i travel to various places in africa. i have not talked to kids that have gotten aids because their fathers thought that they could read it themselves of the virus because they could be with the virgin. sean: do you have kids? >> i ha

joining us now, bob beckel and andrea tans borough. good morning. bobbie, i will start with you. is it fair to describe this as a tax hike? >> it is not fair. you cannot put a car on the roads without insurance. you call that a tax hike? you cannot enter a national forest without paying a fee, is that a tax hike? you have to pay a fee when you fly an airplane for the federal aviation people to keep you safe. is that a tax hike? george stephanopoulos just figure is that trying to spellings own name is a tax hike. megyn: [laughter] [applause] is it a fee or a tax hike? what does it really matter? >> it does that matter. this is all semantics. at the end of the day, when this is impose on mostly middle-class families, they are going to say that there is less money in my wallet, more going out because of barack obama. call it what you want. "the new york times" called it a tax hike. the jury has come back to tell us that this is an increase on middle class families. megyn: that is how george stephanopoulos got into it, "a bid -- a big middle-class tax increase." whenever you call it,

let's bring in bob beckel, former assistant deputy secretary of state under president carter, communications -- what do you think, bob? how is he doing on the world stage? >> the best comparison is probably the last time a president spoke at the united nations it was george bush, and outside there were thousands of protesters. this time, obama was speaking and they were all outside protesting ahmadinejad. obama has taken the u.s. and put it in a different position in the world, one where it gets much more respect. jon: all of these warm feelings that other eight -- other nations might have to not necessarily translate into action, do they? >> i believe that ronald reagan practiced peace through strength, and this administration thinks they can achieve peace through weakness. whether it is removing missile defense in eastern europe or openly negotiating in a strategy for afghanistan, i think world leaders look at this administration and see that they are conceding ground, they will get grounded. sure they want to be friends with somebody who will give them something for free, which is exactly

let's bring in bob beckel, a professor at george washington university. massey is also with us, former press secretary to mitt romney's campaign for president. this was a speech that determines to get congress in line and say, look, i am the president. i'm one to lead on this issue. did he do this? >> this is the most forceful i have seen him, and he got done what he needed to get done. he called it his health-care plan, making clear the specifics, addressing the audience as he needed to address them. the people in medicare were seen what not to worry about, and with south carolina calling him a liar -- if anybody wonders where town hall meetings get their mojo from, it was the republican side that you saw last night. jon: bob said he called his plan, but i wonder about that. up until now, he has not told congress what he wants to see. >> yes, and that is where he has gone wrong. you have a congress with a sense of activism of its own where they want to get into details and right specifics, and oftentimes, those specifics have been outside the mainstream,
