"false" says the non-partisan factcheck.org... health reform maintains and even expands benefits for seniors and focuses on preventing illness before it strikes. our health care is too important for scare ta

franks: mr. halpern is correct. it takes a time line to build an offensive and defensive capability. we were on track to have our defensive capability in place by around 2012, which would have probably been before iran could have launched a full-blown inter continental ballistic missle against the united states. the alternative that the president is offering will not be in place until 2018 or 2020 at which the iranians will be fully capable of just ignoring us at this point. it gives us no real opportunity to use the european missile defense site as a factor to help play in the calculus or prevent iran from gaining that nuclear capability. once they do it, it's hard to put the toothpaste back into the tube. >> does this on the part of president obama make it more or less likely that the israelis will strike at the capabilities of iran? >> let me say this with the gentleman's permission, i believe if the free world places israel in the untenable position of having to defend themselves, which they will have to do if n

frank, did you hear that word? >> absolutely not. the anger is not directed just towards barack obama. it's directed towards members of congress. it's directed towards the senate. it's directed towards the media, towards unions, towards institutions that we feel have failed us. >> michael, did you hear "you lie boy" in that comment from joe wilson? >> that and a lot more, you uppity "n" and so on. >> you really heard that? >> obviously i didn't physically hear that, but the implication, the inference. you only deal with so-called empirically lynching, an epithet, you look at the kind of atmosphere and attitude. look at the opposition. president obama wants to speak to the american schoolchildren. what's more american than that? people are keeping their kids at home because they fear he'll use his bully pulpit to drive home a democratic agenda. the point is, matt, when you look at the intense concentration on president obama, painting a president with two eyes in a black box, calling him a nazi, a chimpanzee, a monkey, how much eviden

frank walker a good play. >> frank walker batting the ball away at the last second. >> next play, secondne who had -- makes the move but tried to get it and almost fumbles it or could have. third and 2. they throw one on third and 2. it's incomplete. now fourth and 2. everybody on their feet. and there's ray lewis. you might want to watch him. play's over. the play's over. darren sproles, who's going to expect a run on fourth and 2. >> ray lewis. watch him. he feeds that whole clear. if you get blocked down, blocked up you step up and nobody has done it better than ray lewis. boy does he get in the backfield in a hurry. >> ray lewis in his 14th season saves the day, a superior game, a fun one to watch. philip rivers throwing for 436 yards against the ravens but joe flacco and the company kept the heat on offensively scoring 31 points and ray lewis' 12th tackle of the day sealed the deal. >> when a game is on the line as soon as phillips dropped down i thought and got it. he was there, man. honestly that was probably to me because for my teammates i told them we would not lose this game a

frank, you have a book "what americans want, really."k about what they want next week. >> everyone in in this room, american people say you're the best. if you begin everything with

>> basically what we have is chairman frank's talking points. we still have the white paper from the administration that which basically authorize a government agency to design financial product. and as i said earlier, we -- america got to where we are by giving people choices, by innovation, by new products. it was the abuse of those products where you had a problem where you abused derivatives or you abused sub prime lending or you abused the securitization market or didn't understand it. so i believe what their focusing on is really more government management. you saw that in health care, where they said there are problems. we're going to have a government bureaucracy that's going to come in and make things right. you saw that recently in cap and trade where they actually said we're not going to have nuclear, we're going to fix it all with green. now green's good. but we need nuclear. they came in and we're going to tell the utilities. they've got to do this. and do that. if they don't we're going to tax them and tax their customers. all thes

frank was the subject of that really fascinating moe. what w he called?me if you can". >> catch me if you can. who became a master counterfeiter. >> guest: well, he did checks. he counterfeited checks. he wasn't a currency guy. and so that's one of the differences between the two. one of the things they had in common is they were both very young when they started doing this and ty were both also you know, -- >> very brit and very artiskly -- artiskly oriented. >> and scam artists they could talk their way into anything. >> did they ever meet? >> no, they never met. frank i think he might be in kaas omt -- i'm not sure exactly whe he is right now. but yeah, he's sort of a different generation than art and frank went legitima. he made millions of dollars as a consultant for document security companies and i had real hoped that that was the path art would take when i met h. he was fe whe i met him he had expressed a desire to do this. to use his knowledge in a way that would help people after having spent so many yearscamming people and a company in upsta n

chairman frank, pleasure to have you with us. a wonderful day to do it so thank you. i could start anywhere. i guess i'll start with health care since the president will speak about that tonight. are you confident in figure would come to a vote now that you'd have the roets to get the president's plan through. >> yes, in the house. i think that's clearly the case. it is also clear to me the that jort is there in the senate. one of the things that's happened is we've had a de facto amendment to the american constitution so that you need 60 votes in general to get things through the senate but the senate did provide it go through reconciliation. i'm surprisedlegitimacy. that flies in the face of democracy, the u.s. constitution and our history. i would hope for there to be more cooperation. i think many on the republican side have decided that since it's important for them to come back from the hole they found themselves in after the last election defeating democratic legislation preventing congress from acting is the highest priority because they believe in the long ru
