megyn: joining me now michael reagan. this is so interesting to me. you are hearing democrats in particular point to your father saying when the going got tough was willing to compromise. he agreed to some tax increases in exchange for expected cuts and they use that to argue the republicans should now do the same. do they accurately represent what happened with your dad? >> no, they don't. they are using my daughter to try to raise taxes on the american people. newt gingrich vote against the 1982 bill they were talking about in the debate. the president of the united states going around the country showing that same clip. it's also interesting and maybe it's because it many "the washington post." they don't tell you the whole story. james barrack and bob dole promised him $3 in spending cuts for every dollar in new taxes. my father thought it was a great deal. and as was said in some of the answers, my father now gone 7 years is still waiting for the $3 in spending cuts that never came about urn the democrat rule in washington, d.c. it's outrageous t

michael reagan is chairman of the reagan group and a political pundit.or being back with us. you believe what, yes they are? >> attacking the issues is one thing, attacking each other is something completely different. that's what ronald reagan was talking about, don't speak ill of another republican, if you speak ill you attack character. those things come back and haunt you in general elections. i was watching bill o'reilly's show the other night and you just replayed it. ronald reagan was protax and antitax in his 50s. ronald reagan was proceed choice then proceed life in his 50s. ronald reagan signed the no fault divorce and then was against it in his 50s. so people evolve and they evolve all the time in politics. everybody knows about mitt romney. mitt romney is not new to the campaign. everybody knows who he is. what rick perry needs to do is tell us who he is. megyn: why shouldn't rick perry take shots at romney along the same lines that we are going to hear if romney winds up being the republican nominee. it's basically what he was saying on o're

michael reagan is my guest now.u remember very well how your father handled libya and qaddafi. i want you to tell us what your memories are. but would i like to get your reaction to the news he is dead today. >> i think it's great news for the world and libya. but we don't need to stop and think the job is done. you have to be involved to make sure you don't have al qaeda and everybody else going into libya and having a government that's not friendly to the western part of the world. we need a government there who is pro-democracy and pro-western part of the world. if we do not stay engaged at this point, if we walk away you can be looking at another afghanistan, another iraq, we need to be engaged more than ever. it's not the end, it's only the beginning of what when need to do there. megyn: president carter had a different policy with respect to libya. when your dad came in he was sick and tired of laying down for moammar qaddafi and decided to establish a new rule. tell us. >> he did. you might remember, jimmy ca

megyn: michael reagan is a political consultant and chairman of the reagan group. ael, this is already making the rounds as likely to be front and center in a p ad against the president, fairly or unfairly? what say you? >> well, fairly. fairly in the fact that george stephanopoulos is asking the question, not the republican nominee, basically the president of the united states teed it up and he's allowing everybody else to hit it out of the park with his answer he gave yesterday, no, we're not better off than we were four years ago, three years ago, two years a. last week, if you look at the market, and the tanking of the market. here's a president who, in fact, wants to play from behind, and has set himself up in that position. megyn: but you know, isn't it true? like, it's true, and i think everybody would acknowledge it's true -- i mean, four years ago was before the collapse, it was still back in the glory days, before we hit the 2008 market collapse and so on, and everything started happening while they were running for president. so he had to answer it that w

megyn: alan coomes, host of the alan coomes radio show and michael reagan, scare tactic? >> i'm ashamed they finally figured us out, nancy pelosi is right, we don't want women to die on the gurney bed, we want them to die on floor, and the dirtier the floor, the better, and joe biden is right, we want more rapes and murders, of course, our side only yuans liberals to be murder merd. yes, they've got to figured out. the closer we get to next year's election the more des operate and slim and vial these guys on the left are going to become. what's unreasonable, alan, about not expecting taxpayers who are prolife like me to fund abortions or giving health care providers conscientious status? they don't have to do it if they don't want to. >> they're already going to abortions. it's duplicative in some sense t. can refuse any woman for any reason admission even if her life is in longer. >> not true. megyn: no, if the life is in danger, the doctor still intervenes. >> but they have the right to refuse. and the net result of these polices could be exactly what is being talked ab

michael reagan's dad, took on qaddafi, dubbing him the mad dog of the middle east.squared off in 1986. michael is here with reaction. back here at home, senate majority leader harry reid says the private sector is doing fine. no need to worry about those jobs. really? why lou dobbs says mr. reid has suffered a reality break. all that plus the latest in the baby lisa investigation. we'll see you 14 minutes away. jon: fox news alert. we have just learned that president obama will address the nation on the developments coming out of libya at 2:00 p.m. eastern time, a little bit more than an hour from now at the rose garden. this follows the libyan prime minister saying muammar qaddafi is dead. it echoes other reports that the so-called mad dog of the middle east, a man who has been a thorn in the side of the united states for decade, finally met his demise. the dictator who's 42-year reign of terror is linked to deadly attacks on americans including most famously the bombing of pan am flight 103. we have the former spokesman for the last four u.n. ambassadors to the un

but before that, let me say that my past shows we can work together, in the reagan years, i worked with bob michael and others. tip o'neill was speaker. we had a in theic house. in order to pass the reagan program, which was very bold, we had to get a third of the democrats to vote with us and we did -- >> how? >> to get the bill signed by president clinton, we had to work in a bipartisan manner. when we passed welfare reform, one out of every two democrats in the house voted with us, 101-101. that's darn bipartisan. i would urge the house republicans right now, pass the webb/warner bill, both democrats from virginia. it provides for development of oil and gas off shore tgives the federal government half the royalties, 37 1/2 force virge. send it as it is to the senate. i don't think harry reid could bottle it up. have you two democratic senators introduced it. tim cane has endorsed it. if it goes through the senate, i don't see how president obama could veto it. the fact is, it increases american energy, increases american jobs. how's obama going to veto that? i think that people have to be more a

leader michael fought tenaciously for president reagan's transportation bill but only because he was president's ally in congress. but also because he knew that investments in roads, bridges, transit systems were an essential way to put our illinois constituents and americans back to work. so here we are today, three decades later, and these same american roads and bridges and transit systems are in greater need of repair than ever before. today is the 35th day since president obama took to the house rostrum and asked congress to pass the american jobs act. and unless there's some kind of miracle between now and the next tuesday, the 40th day will come and go with no relief for friends and neighbors looking for work. the fact is we have a crisis in our country. our citizens, our friends and neighbors, family members are struggling amidst the worst economic conditions of a lifetime. our transportation systems are overburdened and fast becoming obsolete. our politics are so broken that we can't connect the people who need work with the work that needs to be done. our institutions of go

reagan 's social security number. go to a genealogical website like family search.org. how about michael jackson. no problem. fast and easy. just as fast and easy to find 83 million social security numbers for people who have died. the irs won't comment specifically about cases like alexis's, but it does investigate cases of identity fraud and prosecutes the thieves. >> it seems to me it's perpetuating identity theft and costing the government more money. one agency is publishing them while another agency has to prosecute the people who are using them. >> reporter: the social security administrats a court ruling mandates the release of those social security numbers, but it refuses to provide anyone to talk about that on camera. the national technical information service which markets the death list says it's used for example by financial institutions to prevent fraud. prevent someone from using the social security number of a deceased american to open an account or use it for financial fraud. we hope to have more from the service and on this story later in the week. anita and derek. >> wow. all right, gary.

leader michael fox nation's lay for president reagan's transportation bill, but only because he was the president ally in congress. also because he knew that investments in roads, bridges, transit systems were an essential way to put our illinois constituents and americans back to work. so, here we are today, three decades later, and the same american roads and bridges and transit systems are in greater need of repair than ever before. two days the 35th day since president obama took to the house ross room and asked congress to pass the american jobs act. and unless there's some kind of miracle between now and the next tuesday, the 40th day, will come and go with no relief for friends and neighbors looking for work. the fact is, we have a crisis in our country. our citizens, our friends and neighbors, family members, are struggling amidst the worst economic conditions of a lifetime. our transportation systems are overburdened, and fast becoming obsolete. our politics are so broke and that we can't connect to people who need work with the work that needs to be done. our institutions of g

ronald reagan was actually beatable in his re-election campaign but not by walter mondale. george h.w. bush was beatable but not by michaelakis. president obama is definitely beatable with 9% unemployment. but republicans are on their way to being stuck with a nominee they just don't like. it is simply the dislike and distrust of willard m. romney that is keeping the other republican candidacies alive and every day those candidacies survive, they make republicans and republicanism sound crazier and crazier. john harward last night, he will join us in a moment, he sat down with rick perry. >> mitt romney, after the president released his birth certificate earlier this year, said that issue is done and settled. i accept it. you chose to the keep it alive in your interview with "parade" magazine over the weekend. why did you do that? >> it is a good issue to the keep alive. donald has to have some fun and the issue is -- >> sounds like you have some doubt about it. >> i haven't seen his -- i haven't seen his grades. my grades ended up on the front page of the newspaper, so if we are going to show stuff, let's show stuff. but
