and dick morris goes on the record. he says president obama is in big trouble desperately trying to sell something that you are suspicious of. dick morris coming up. but first, president obama has a new headache. seven men, both democrats and republicans, who serve as director of -- served as director of central intelligence or c.i.a. director have joined together telling the president he needs to do something. they write in part, -- >> sen foam directors say the investigation has been done and that another investigation would damage the willingness of convenience officers to take risks to protect our country. the justice department today saying the attorney general's decision was made in line with his duty to examine the facts ands follow the law. moments ago, former speaker of the house newt gingrich went on the roared. mr. speaker, nice to see you. >> good to see you. greta: the president got a letter from former directors of the c.i.a. and other intelligence officials today. apparently they want him to tell the atto

what does dick morris think of this. the author of the big best selling book catastrophe, about the mediaened a the obama administration joins us now. ok. today, ben bernanke, the top economic guy comes out and says, you know, the recession may be over. nobody covers it. nobody said a word. you know why? acorn. is this amazing? >> it is astonishing. the connection with obama is a little closer than you generously gave him credit for. in addition to his paying them $800,000 during the campaign to work for him, they paid him in 1995 to be their lawyer when they sued the state of illinois. bill: the statute of limitations runs out on that, when? that's 13 years ago. you know, obama is in chicago. they hired him. it was a justice department suit and it was a legitimate deal. people are going to make up their own minds. the perception is, i will grant you, that president obama and acorn are sympathetic co. >> this comes at a very difficult time for obama. because he is getting clobbered over health care reform. here he addres

you heard me and dick morris. ben bernanke recession may be over. nobody mentions it. all the time. >> i believe there are people who want to make this about obama meets acorn. bill: absolutely. >> he was their attorney for a short time. he defended them in the motor voter case. that was the extent, basically. acorn is a new van jones. conservatives elm paired they got van jones. now they will use acorn to get obama. i think unfairly. bill: doesn't matter whether you think it's unfair or not but it's happening. >> let's call that out that's what this is it's an attempt to go after the president of the united states by tying him to acorn. it's not a fair line of attack. bill: what difference does it make whether it's fair. it's politics. >> is it real? his his association something with him that should bring him down or hurt him? bill: i don't believe it is real. although i do believe that obama sympathizes with acorn and what acorn wants to do. >> all right. bill: community activism. >> is it fair to say they have done terrible things and these videotapes are incrimina

joining us is the author of the book "catastrophe," dick morris.i meant what i said more by the way they were dressed and that acorn is just so ridiculous in falling for it, but they are certainly ambitious and have done it, and i have said my piece, and i apologize for it. all right, now, is there bill bipartisan? >> of course, it is not. there is a slight chance that one, olympia snowe, will sign it, and rahm emanuel said this will pass by thanksgiving, and i am not particularly shirt this turkey will pass by thanksgiving. -- i am not particularly shiure. greta: i guess he is thinking that if some republican ideas were in this bill, that would reflect by partisanship. >> you have to find out what rahm emanuel means by calling it bipartisan. the question is whether the people that are being gutted in this bill, the people who are being hit over the head and clobbered, speak out. as this bill has become better known and has been in print and publicized, more and more is coming out about it. first we learned that half of $1 trillion, half of $1 tril

brian: dick morris joining us here.onse to david axelrod asking what you medical school did you go to. do you need to to understand what kind of impact health care will have on our country. >> my response to him is to say david, by the way, hello, he used to work for me when i hired him to work for clinton. david, you don't need to go to medicine school. elementary school will be just fine. in elementary school you learn that if you are treating 50 million new people crew got to have some extra doctors and nurses to go it. that's the problem we face. the american college of medical schools, one of the studies we cite in our book catastrophe, shows that there will be a shortage of 30,000 doctors when this program is adopted and will be a shortage of 125,000 doctors in 15 years if the program is adopted. it's inevitable to say if you are expanding the demand, you have got to expand the supply. gretchen: so what are the ramifications of that? >> if you are going to not be able to treat everybody, you are going to have to m

dick morris on big trouble for the president. and dennis miller at the cubs game. chaos does not even begin to describe it. miller will explain it all. >> sorry about that first pitch! bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. congressman barney frank and john conyers. expos in the organization acorn, that is the subject of tonight's talking points memos. there was an undercover sting during which some acorn officials were seen aiding and abetting prostitution and child prostitution. the resulting scandal resulted in congress de-funding them, and their image is now in tatters. they want to see if the undercover duo broke any federal laws, and they also want to find out exactly what acorn is guilty of an look at the housing opportunities agenda. in my opinion, they should be giveing them congressional medals for exposing something that the feds were not ab

bill: ok, now, dick morris rights in his book that if you do add 30 to 40 new people thought insuranceroles you don't have enough medical personnel to handle them. not enough doctors and nurses. you have to ration the care just by the volume and you say? >> let's be clear. people are getting health care now. they are getting it by going to emergency rooms. bill: they get it a lot more if you give it to them. they will go into the doctor's office. >> $1,000 more in our premiums. there is the capacity. look, that's why the ama supports this. the nurses support. this all the medical personnel support this reform. bill: i'm just worried the system is going to be over. >> i don't know what medical school dick morris went through. the doctors and nurses support this reform. bill: they are going to be busy. get back to tort reform. suing doctors and nurses, the people who tests, anesthesiologists. get this under control. some pilot program in idaho doesn't cut it legislation that makes it more difficult to sue and give the judges the power to empower court costs on nuisance suits. mr. axelrod

all of that plus dick morris, frank lutz and bob beck ell. a busy "hannity" starts right now. the scandal following acorn continues as the justice department said it will review it's involvement with the organization this light of the stunning tapes released last week. the organization's president struggled to explain away the scandal. take a look. >> any organization is not entirely perfect. i think congress, you know, will be looking at doing an anti-acorn amendment and just singling out one organization. but we continue to make sure that all of our employees, if they're too stupid to understand that they are not reaching professional standards, we terminate them and we actually make sure that, you know, what we do internally is serving our constituents. sean: not entirely perfect? talk about an understatement. by this point almost everybody has managed to throw in their two cents on this scandal but there's one person who apparently hasn't given it much thought, the president of the united states. let's check this out. >> frankly, it's not really something i followed closel

dick morris is here. welcome back. stupid to go after one of the biggest newspapers in your state and you are in the 30's in approval rating. >> his problem in nevada is that it is a state that is constantly being born demographically. whenever you run for reelection as a center of every six years, about 40% of -- for senator every six years, about 40% of your vote did not lived there six years ago. i believe that republicans have a good shot winning the house. in a wild shot, they could win the senate. >> all of the polls show that is a possibility. i have been around this game a little bit too long. we are more than a year out. it is pretty hard to predict. >> when you have a president that started out with a 65% with voters. his latest is 42. sean: he is down to 42%? i thought it was 45%. >> i get those in my sleep. at some point he is going to get below 40%. you are talking about a guy at 46% of the vote giving the benefit of the doubt, he got 52%. that is a six-point drop off. one out of a people who voted for oba

bill: i said this the other day to dick morris. the way i just want to mention and i know you reported this, but the louisiana attorney general has now issued subpoenas to wade rathke the former president of acorn. >> good. bill: turn over everything since 1998. >> i can't believe i'm saying this. but i believe you are maybe being too modest. i believe you were instrumental in getting the governor and the louisiana politicians involved in this. >> well, we urged them to do it in a very nice way as we always do. >> always. bill: this is what i said to morris the other day. i said, look, if you are barack obama, and you got an enormous union that loves you, seiu, and you have got a nationwide grass roots get out the vote acorn, and they are both going to give you everything they have. they are going to give you money, manpower, support, you take it. you take it, right? >> no. not if they violate your values. and that's the point. do they violate their values? do they violate the values of barack obama? does barack obama share the val

the top 10 t the one is michelle, bill o'riley, a manifesto on the republican party, seven is by dick morrisruption or taking our country back. the mantra will not stop on the other side, therefore the president has to keep it going, he has to keep the message about health care. and he has to let the american people know this is about them, this is about their future and it's about bringing to them the things that they said they wanted him to do. yes, he has to keep it going. >> amanda, what about the white house? it now says illegal immigrants would be barred. you remember representative joe wilson's outburst during the speech came when the president mentioned illegal immigrants. does this mean that this outburst was unnecessary or did it work? >> i think that's at some level did it work because it brought the focus of the debate over whether or not this plan will cover illegal immigrants and a lot of conservative republicans were trying to get amend its in so it would specifically prohibit this from happening. it was rejected. the white house is making a move to say we won't do this. there

dick morris says the commander in chief is losing everyone now? is that what you say, dick?, he's taxing everyone. and he's alienating everyone with that. when he ran for president, mccain suggested financing health care reform by taxing insurance premiums and obama opposed that, said that would be terrible, a horrible idea. i know he's proposing to tax what he calls gold-plated insurance premiums. but there's not much gold on the plate. he says that they should tax everyone with insurance premiums of $8,000 a person or higher. now, the average premium in the u.s. is $4,, 500 -- $4,500. but medical inflation is about 10 times a year. so by the time this goes into effect, anyone paying $6,000 or higher will be taxed, and by 2016 half of all policies will be taxed so basically what he's doing is financing his program with a tax on health insurance premiums. steve: exactly. dick, we were reading your column. and here are the people, according to you, who will suffer from health care reform x money -- health care reform. who's he left with? >> the other one is -- you can get the
