joining me with analysis author of "revolt" dick morris. how are you? >> good to be here. i'm in missouri, the country music capital of the world. >> sean: tony orlando's home. boehner has scheduled a vote. the president has been fear-mongering, scaring seniors, demagoguing the issue. even warren buffet is upset about the class warfare, private jets. boehner scheduled a vote on cutting 111 billion now for 2012. cutting serious cuts. capping spending. and a balanced budget amendment. i think strategically, this is what the republicans need to do. they have one house. they don't have the senate. now put the onus on the president and put them on record where they stand. is this a good strategy, in your view? >> it is half of a good strategy. the other half is they should prepare for war . the way to prepare for war is call the president's bluff. the united states government borrows 40% of the money that it spending. it takes in through taxes 60% of the money. so it is still going to get tax revenues. the question is what do you use the revenues for? the republicans should pas

we asked dick morris to do a poll. question, which party do you think is more responsible for the big national debt. 32% say republicans. 28% democrats and 36% say both parties are to blame. now, the propry tore of dick morris .com. i'm surprised by the republican number. shows you are a.b an honest gu. did an honest poll. >> the residual blame that attaches to all things bush. >> bill: you think i t? >> and then the adeof a balanced budget under clinton and then a deficit all of a sudden under bush and that is what they remember. the other question in my poll was i asked people which party regardless of which party you support do you think would do the best job of holding down the national debt. and republicans win that by 35 to 25. so. >> bill: still should be 75 to 25. >> there are about 35 to 40% of the american people refuse to make those judgments by party. they hate them both that much. >> bill: and is true. there is recentment against most parties that is for sure. we didn't hear much today about the debt busin

dick morris is back to respond. it's interesting because after bernie sanders said that, then we had the president's press conference the other night where he came out and he was still sounding pretty progressive asking for all the tax hikes in this debt plan. >> well, i think that sanders' press statement was designed to try to move the president to the left. in this whole debt discussion. and it was kind of a pressure tactic. but, you know, at some point, there's some chance that the left just decides enough is enough. guantanamo is open. we're still in iran. we're only gradually pulling down forces from afghanistan. the unemployment rate is terrible. the -- they didn't get their single pair. i've always said from the beginning that i think it's very possible that they would be a primary challenge to obama. >> well, that would probably be some have speculated russ feingold or dennis kucinich who is going to be redistricted out of the fray. would you consider those legitimate challenges? >> i think any challenge to

fox news contributor and author of "revolt" dick morris joins us from connecticut. >> i've seen it, steve, but not in the united states. in argentina, the kirshna government, the government has gone after a news organization in the form of communist countries, you see it all the time but the spectacle of an organization that is tax exempt, using its money largely donated by soros and a few left wingers to try to discredit not an individual, not a party, not a point of view but an entire news network is unique for the united states. >> what's unique about it is, you know, they're trying to take down a corporation that is, you know, what we're doing here is exercising our first amendment rights. >> a big part of it is how well you're doing it. i did a survey and i asked people who are voters whether they watch fox news or not and i found that 67% of republicans watch fox news several times a week or more. that you knew. but 54% of independents watched it several times a week or more. and 21% of democrats watched it several times a week or more. so there really is an e

former advisor to president clinton and fox news contributor dick morris rejoins the conversation. right, dick, so section 4 of the 14th amendment allows the president to ensure the nation's debt is covered so bill clinton, your former boss is suggesting, i'd just declare a national emergency and i'd get it through. too bad, republicans. >> well, if you -- in a strange way, there's nothing the matter with that. the issue is not will the united states pay its debts? the issue is will the united states incur more debt by additional federal spending? the -- we have to pay about $30 billion a year of -- i'm sorry, $30 billion a month in debt service. we collect about $180 billion a month in taxes. we also incur $120 billion a month in new debt for new spending. >> but dick -- >> so when the president talks about a default, he's just using that as a smoke screen and if clinton had his way under the 14th amendment, he'd be deprived of the smoke screen but still have the issue of borrowing for the spending. >> isn't the issue also, dick, that president clinton is sending a message to presi
