this guy is setting us up like an acorn. he is setting us up. there is a framework here that you can't get out. >> that's right. all the pieces are coming together. it makes complete crazy logical sense. glenn: it does. >> this is a part of the progressive agenda, which is not only to e shape the constitution and how government works but to reshape society. the key has been through the education system and this new idea called national service, which, unfortunately, george bush introduced and it took off under clinton but that goes back to william james, and now they have been connected. you're connecting student loans to a guaranty controlled by government and we will shift it to national service for government-approved programs. glenn: i'm going to play audio from a while back on tomorrow's program, and it is about barack obama. he was giving a speech and they asked him, do you support reparations, and he said no, because they don't go far enough. tomorrow i'm going to outline what he said would go far enough, and it's all his agenda. this is

and, fifth, acorn falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the employee retirement income security act of 1974, ariza. acorn falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of ariza. findings go on. they should pierce the corporate veil and do an investigation, justice needs to do an investigation. something that they point out is that when acorn crosses the line, which i don't think anyone questions they do, the individuals harmed are the low to moderate income work whorms acorn was founded to protect. they hurt the very people that they were founded to protect. daily rathky, the brother of the founder's embezzlement, and the coverup are violations of acorn's corporate duties and they are fraud. identities and roles of those involved must be disclosed. this goes on, mr. speaker. i have poked through this report, i have spent hours and hours over the last four to five years tracking acorn. this report lists the 361 affiliates and in there will be information on campaign cont

acorn. this is just an individual. she is not a part of any group that's' trying to reform acorn in its own image for its own power grab. she is out there alone. people out there ask what they can do. support people like that who are trying to get the information out there, because they understand the nature of the racket, that it is a criminal enterprise. you're seeing more, at least on the republican side, people understanding that, the house oversight republican committee report came out, and it only scratches the surface. it is not just the financial industry. it is not just housing. it is the fact that these people are joined at the hip with democrat organizations to ensure a power grab in perpetuity. glenn: michelle, thank you. i have no reason to say, this because this book will knock mine off the number one slot. this is important. i don't read other people's books when it comes to their political thoughts, et cetera. i just don't read them. this one is worth reading. you should read it. it really exposes a lot

given acorn's history and political connections, the u.s. census bureau should not partner with an organization that is had a systemic problems with both accuracicy and legitimacy. while i cannot support mr. groves' nomination, madam president, i hope he will carefully review this issue and terminate acorns role in the 2010 census. it would be a big first step for him. we must not let the census become a play tant political tool in this -- a blatant political tool in this country. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. carper: madam president, this is -- you this is not about acorn. -- this is not about acorn. acorn is not going to be hired or out there recruiting folks to go door to door and to do the innumeration for the census. acorn is going to be out there getting -- s. corn isn't going to be out there getting any money or grants. no census partners are receiving money or grants. acorn is no exception. the bureau -- census bureau has reiterated that acorn -- they're actually one of thousands of organizations. they're really -- their purpose in

me ask you a question, you guys are union, but yet you don't allow -- they don't allow acorn to unionize? is that an issue? what is your name? eric: unions like seiu pumping money into acorn's bank account. kevin mooney has the figures. break it down for us. i have read your articles. some of the numbers are staggering what goes on. people should understand how much money is being passed back and forth between people who want to benefit from the obama administration. >> absolutely. we found in just a three-year period, labor unioned donated almost $10 million to acorn and their state affiliates and their allied organizations. 7 million of that came from the service employees international union. certainly seiu, as your program has documented is very tied in with the acorn association. the national education association and other unions have also contributed but by any reasonable yardstick, the seiu is the union leading the charge here. eric: kevin, muscle for money, tell me what muscle for money is. >> muscle for money is a program that is funded by the seiu union, a corporate shakedown group that i

hours before that statement came out, acorn as an organization, along with two staffers were charged evada with 26 counts of voter edge voter registration fraud along with 13 counts for using acorn van vazzers using -- acorn canvassers using a fraudulent system. acorn may have been pressured by nadler to back off after that hearing march 19. nadler is a huge acorn supporter. he is one of the worker families parties. o nadler represents a district in brooklyn, new york, where both the working families party and acorn at their headquarters and those headquarters are in the same building. 24 nevin street. he told "the washington times" in april, quote, it's not our business to to say acorn is ter icial or acorn is wonderful. that's not a congressional job." it's not? doesn't the judiciary committee have the job to investigate crimes an conyers said it was their jurisdiction, the department of justice. unless that's been taken out of my jurisdiction and i just didn't know t" on june 24, when conyers was questioned again about calling off the call for a probe, he told "the washington times

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute ---www.ncicap.org--- bret: next on "special report" new fears based on non-partisan analysis that the democrats' plan for healthcare reform could break the bank and lead to big tax increases, the president's supreme court pick ends her testimony before senators who focus on her moan controversial case, and the plaintiffs in that case speak out. he campaigned for change. now president obama is campaigning against it in new jersey, and some of the suspects who were charged with planning the 9/11 attacks appear in a military courtroom. we're live there. all that, plus the all-star panel, right here, right now. welcome to washington. i'm bret bret. if president obama does not get his moch coveted healthcare reform legislation by the august congressional recess, he won't have republicans to blame. democrats, congressional accountants and the public are all voicing serious reservations about the pr

remember, acorn received $53 million of taxpayer funds from 1993 to the present. now have access to $8.5 billion of tax funds. this could be andditional $1.5 billion for acorn. do not forget, in over 12 states so far this year, acorn has been indicted for voter fraud. i think we should raise the bar a little bit before we shovel out more taxpayer money to this organization. sean: even if we made a profit, does anyone think the quadrupling of the deficit and $10 trillion in obama debt that he is accumulating, that maybe we should pay down that debt? >> exactly. if that were your family or my family, that is what we would do. if we had to take out a loan because we were in a tough situation, wouldn't you think that we would pay back that loan? i will tell you one thing. the bank would make sure we do. that is what i'm doing as a member of congress and my fellow republicans. we are acting as the board of directors, so to speak, saying, pay your bills back. do not be borrowing on borrowed money. it is time we think about the taxpayers. that is not what the democrats in the house are doing. sean: cap and trade passed in the house.

when, for example, one of his republican senator friends twice offered an amendment about the acorn group? this is an organization around the country that is involved in a lot of different things, but he wanted to do an amendment on the economic recovery package related to the acorn organization. that was a bill, of course, that had nothing to do with voting registration. another republican senator offered an amendment about prescription drugs to a bill that funds homeland security. no relation whatsoever. where was my friend from arizona's outrage at that? another republican senator offered an amendment about the fairness doctrine, a fake issue meant exclusively to excite a very small segment of our population. to a bill that would give d.c. residents finally the right to vote. where was my friend from arizona's outrage about that? another republican senator offered the same amendment, that is, the fairness doctrine, another senator, same amendment, though, over the same conjured issue to the omnibus appropriations bill. that is, the bill we passed to keep the bil the government rund com

on the american recovery and reinvestment act there was an amendment relative to acorn.n the voting -- the d.c. voting rights bill we were debating there were amendments relative to guns and to the fairness doctrine. and on and on and on. so the senate rules permit nongermane, nonrelevant amendments to be offered to pending legislation. it is not at all new. the opportunity to do that has been taken by many of us this year, last year, the career before, and i'm sure next year so first of all, it is not new. it is common in the senate to offer amendments which are not relevant to the bill that is pending that is allowed under our rules. now the hate crimes amendment is an important amendment. i don't think anybody would deny the importance of this amendment. with hate crimes going up in the united states it is critically important that we strengthen our hate crimes law. there are senators who oppose the amendment and that's the reason we're here, to debate, to argue for it, to argue against but i don't think that one can argue that it is uncommon, unusual, improper to arg

. >> aside from a food allergy and you mentioned children missing school an hospitalization is death also acorns witness if not treated or not handled quickly. >> it is not common but does happen. 4,000, 5,000 asthmatics die. no one knows the answer to why and other allergies if you are stung by a bee you can drop down or eat shrimp you can have a systemic reaction. the biggest problem is they make people miserable. there's a tremendous amount of morbidity meaning loss time from work, school and national health costs. it is a powerful illness that affects peoples lives. >> reporter: anything to reduce our risk of being susceptible to allergies. >> best thing to do is get on a program. for environmental allergies you can reduce the exposure for food allergies stay away. and certain allergies you can have desensitization with shots. >>> a memoir from a beloved comic is due out in the fall. >>> and we are in the kitchen celebrating belgium independence. we'll be right back. in n afford it. we're assurant health, and we've been customizing plans to meet the needs of individuals for over 110 years. f

an admission. this congress is not going to allow even a vote to block funding to acorn.hey cannot face the embarrassment. when i introduced my first amendment, i suggested shunning congress down for one whole day to figure this out. megyn: who can we call to fix this problem? who can our viewers call? >> if he would listen, the chairman of the hearings, and john conyerjohn conyers. he has said, however, that there would not be an investigation. if the pressure gets turned up, the american people will have to demand that their tax dollars are not used for corruption or fraud. this undermines the constitution. if we lose credibility of our collection process, we turn into a banana republic. they are using funds to corrupt the election process. they have admitted to a fraudulent election forms, but they say that it did not necessarily transformed into votees. s. what else when they say it? megyn: they say this is a recycled, repackaged attack drug on their group. most of -- attack on their group. most of these figures are from 1994. thank you for being our guest. >> by the

acorn? >> well, an next tkoelt al reports we've heard -- anecdotal reports we've heard about voter fraud acrossou find there are 365 organizations out there, that all fall under the umbrella of acorn supposedly tax exempt non-profit organizations. then you dive deeper and find there have been 70 convictions in 12 different states. and you find there's a pattern of abuse and fraud. the justice department should dive into very deeply. >> here the allegations that really caught my eye, maybe only because i'm an attorney, maybe because i'm a concerned citizen, maybe because my tax dollars may have gone to pay for it. contributions to the former governor blagojevich. contributions to a presidential candidate, president obama. also, you say that acorn is hiding behind their not for profit status, they are using corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy. wouldn't any taxpayer be concerned about that? >> acorn to date has taken over 50 million dollars in taxpayer money and they qualify for over eight billion dollars under the stimulus plan. if you look at 70 convictions in 12 states, 365 o

acorn is playing an increasingly large role in our politics. they are involved in the u.s. census for better or four worse. i understand there are people on both sides of that issue. but that's unusual to have such a high-level partnership with a group in the census taking, and they seem to be involved in many other areas of the administration. so anything that's that involved deserves a closer look. frankly, i think wal-mart should be investigated as well. let's take a look at the relationship between the obama administration and wal-mart. wal-mart has recently come out for national health care and backing the obama plan after years of opposition. whenever somebody suddenly changes, i get curious, don't you? host: sure. next up, redondo beach, california, on our lines for republicans, go ahead. caller: thanks for taking my call. your guest is a neocon propagandist. he basically has said -- host: let's move on to state college, pennsylvania. ken, on our line for democrats. caller: wow, that was scary. good morning, happy fourth. i had a question about the comment that mr. w

and paying attention to the things that matter and i did intend to bring up the acorn issue at this point. so it wasn't an injection into the dialogue and if the gentleman had further points i'd be happy to yield. mr. conyers: i don't have any -- i haven't seen the report that you've reviewed. but i'll be happy to look at it next week and we're in dialogue, we see each other every day that we're in session and i'll be delighted to discuss it with you . mr. king: reclaiming my time, i thank the chairman again for his indulgence and attention to the matter. and i will at this point then move on to that subject matter. unless the gentleman from texas came to speak on health care and health insurance, i would be happy to yield. mr. gohmert: i appreciate my friend from iowa yielding. that is something i did want to mention. because i'm still so deeply disturbed by the fact that this congress would be censored where we did not have the freedom to debate when that ability is what gave us this country, is what started this country. and if you go to the speaker's website you'll find all kinds of references that ar

government, lower spending, and an adherence to fiscal responsibility, and not this crazy debt, the problem is that tactics of the democratic party with the in roads of acorn, the extraordinary money advantage that they're going to have, and the use of technology and digital platforms like social networking, face book, twitter, et cetera, they're really good at that, and that's where republicans are going to have to get a whole lot better. sean: if we look at the numbers now, corzine can lose in new jersey, bob mcdonald could win in virginia, harry reid could be defeated. if you were to look at your most optimistic projection, what do you think the republicans could realistically pull off in 2010? >> we could get back to close to parity. there are some great republicans lining up. in was in alabama in huntsville not long ago. there's a great guy name les phillips, he's an african-american conservative, naval academy graduate, former navy pilot, he's the whole package. i look at guys like that, and i see that we have some terrific candidates who are standing up speaking out, and i think they're going to give us a great reason to be optimistic in 2010. sean:

an taxpayers be damned. glenn: i don't think any of the congressmen or senators have any idea what is going on. i think americorps is becomin our republic-owned acorn. i think this thing is spiraling out of control and there are people like president obama, and there are people like ted kennedy who know exactly what the plan is with americorps. i mean, we have been talking about it all week. we have been talking about how you can get loans, and if you work for the government, all of a sudden those loans are going to be relieved. they are driving people in to become slaves, you know, behind a government telephone working for the government. i think that's exactly what is happening. >> yeah, there is an old saying that america is turning into a country where there are more people voting for a living than working for a living. that's what happens when you expand programs like americorps and other summer jobs that the government is up to right now. glenn: i appreciate it, jim. thank you so much. i have to tell you this. i don't know if you know -- does anyone remember when barack obama was on the campaign trail and he said i'm going to have an army of

committee and when the amendment comes out of the committee, for example, an amendment that would have blocked all funding to acorn, and changed the language or send a different bill to the floor of the house of representatives and the members here have a right to have full confidence that the bill that comes to the floor reflects the product of the committee. too often it does not. and the window for reading a bill and debate and deliberation has been so short and on the cap and trade bill, that mr. bilirakis: of 1,100 pages that we had a short time to digest was brought to the floor, filed, scheduled for debate and at 3:09 a.m., there was 316-page amendment that was dropped into the record, 316-page amendment that was dropped into the bill and we with are to debate, deliberate and understand and evaluate with good judgment and due diligence the implications, ramifications and factors that come out of the one of the biggest most important bills in this congress and i believe congress -- the house of representatives made the most biggest mistake ever made in the history of this house. 316 pages at 3:09 a.m. on an
