paul krugman and vice president al gore. just watching tonight's broadcast qualifies you for a bachelor's degree. (cheers and applause) which, in turn, qualifies you for nothing. (laughter) speaking of qualified for nothing, wolf blitzer. (laughter) last night, wolf hosted a cnn tea party presidential debate where he tried to ambush ron paul by asking whether society should pay for someone in a coma who doesn't have insurance. >> that's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks. this whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody... (cheers and applause) >> are you saying that society should just let him die? >> no... >> yes! >> yes! >> stephen: yeah! (laughter) i say we personally tell that stupid coma guy to suck it! (laughter) in morse code hand squeezes. oh, they're in there. (laughter) of course, this is stone-hearted realism and it's a proven crowd pleaser at g.o.p. debates. >> governor perry, question about texas. your state has executed 234 death row inmates, more than any other governor in mod

what a different approach paul krugman took. >> i think paul krugman has opened up a dialogue.re on this show talking about it -- >> there's no dialogue at all because if he wanted it, he would have allowed comments. >> the best way to honor those who died on 9/11 is to stop the wars, to bring the troops home, to close the over 800 bases we have around the world where we shouldn't is be, to use our military to defend us here at home and to use the savings to rebuild america. that would honor those who died on 9/11. megyn: you know, brad, clearly, no one was able to comment in response to krugman, at least not yesterday, but does anyone listen to this guy? obviously, when he speaks on the economy, people do listen. is he having an impact? >> yes, he will have an impact, unfortunately. he writes for an internationally-known paper. certainly, the old gray lady ain't what she used to be -- megyn: should his editor, should somebody have stepped in and said you can say what you want to say, that's what the first amendment's all ant, but you're not going to say that on nerve, the ten-

real ism is still not allowed we're talking about nine eleven in our country's response to it paul krugman called post nine eleven shameful donald rumsfeld of all people called quinn's remarks repugnant and even canceled his subscription to the new york times so why are we back to this then some say the chance of a greek default or up to ninety eight percent of our investors suffering from a relying on bailout mentality and i'm sure we've heard a lot about the evils of illegal immigration at tonight's republican tea party debate but what about illegal immigration let's have a talk about this important group of job creation we have all that and more for you to night including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at the mainstream media has decided to miss. now over the weekend we saw a violent attack take place in afghanistan that injured seventy seven u.s. soldiers so in response the mainstream media once again decided to remember that hey we're war. patella been screaming responsibility for a massive explosion that injured seventy seven u.s. troops a suicide truck bomber attem

there wasn't any michael moore or paul krugman there. the voice of the democratic party is far more moderate than you give it credit for. and to pull people like krugman out and say he is a democrat or somebody associated with barack obama or his parties is absolutely wrong. i am a former prosecutor. i put people in the electric chair. i have a gun. i believe in capital punishment. i believe in this war on terror. and i'm a democrat. >> bill: all right. you know, but your voice has got to be louder then to at least compete with the others. >> i'm loud. >> bill: that's why we have you on. [ laughter ] >> and i'm louder. >> bill: appreciate the debate. the american jobs act goes to congress but president obama surely knows it will not pass. brit human will give us the inside story. also, bernie goldberg on today's show ann curie currying favor with mahmoud ahmadinejad in iran. and glenn beck on his new tv venture coming right back.

who knows what he was talking about, ed morrisey who writes the blog "hot air" said this about paul krugmanys krugman to write this stuff. this wouldn't even pass muster for a letter to the editor and most newspapers. he's mailing this in from 2003. it's as if krugman hasn't bothered to think about 9/11 in the past 10 years at all which says more about krugman than it does about september 11th. what do you think about his comments? george bush and rudy giuliani are fake heroes? e-mail us, friends at welco foxnews.com. >> and you can twitter us as well. >> unlike him, we'll take responses. >> this gas contains ethanol. it was marketed as a great alternative to old fashioned fuel and the government made it the law. but wait until you hear who is actually benefitting now. >> and who's not. and it made millions at the box office. but could the story in c contagious come true? we'll talk to one doctor and find out what he has to say about it. >> they're moving the president underground. >> people will panic. it will tip over. the truth is -- [ female announcer ] so you think your kids are gettin

another issue paul krugman accused president george w.iani of profiting off of 9/11. does it get any more despicable from the left on party of tea party members that are racist that want blacks hanging from trees that should go straight to hell, we are at war with them, they are sob's. >> he's a brilliant economist and very influential. but i have a different impression of the people that we were honoring yesterday. i was privileged enough to be on sunday to be standing there with the families of these people who raced into buildings to save people they didn't know. >> sean: why? >> it is very sad. >> paul krugman wrote a column accusing george w. bush of causing anti-semitism in malaysia. i asked him, i said this is kind of der rained. -- der raged. >> he said no, it is true. i think he's crazed on the question. >> sean: something happened in the left in this country where they are pretty much unhinged. and the media allows this. the media doesn't call them out as they would a conservative host that said the same thing. coach, discrimina

you disagree with paul krugman -- >> i disagree with whoever is saying this is a ponzi scheme. >> i'mt between you and krugman here, al. >> i'm not sure you're quoting krugman right. but whoever said it, i'm disagreeing with it. you can't reform something that is set up in a way that is only arranged to try and -- >> oh, that's an odd attack. >> josh, if al sharpton sid it was a ponzi scheme, i would disagree with al sharpton. >> on al sharpton's show. but you can't reform a change, something that is designed to just try and take somebody's money. that's what a ponzi scheme is, josh. you can't redefine what it is to try to save rick perry. >> look, if you agree that it's fundamentally unreformable, you're actually arguing by the likes of some of the leading lish liberal economists of the day to be shutdown. it's a logical consequence of what he's arguing here. >> josh ought to run for the republican nomination. he's a great distorter. >> a ponzi scheme -- people get into ponzi schemes, i'll say it again, to do what? get rich quick. nobody gets rich on social security. it isn't intende

people like paul krugman have been trying to get us to realize how well has been so concentrated in such small group of folks. what strategies could be used to attack this minority of individuals in a way that foundations and charities did in the past? if we had a few people, and quite a number of them at an immense amount of wealth, why are we not having them at the new macarthur foundation's and the people who will finance this community journalism? there should be a way of strategy and a mindset where they can help reduce the public interest journalism of the future -- help produce the public interest journalism of the future. >> you are seeing that from some of the wealthy. you have bill gates doing fantastic things. msn and msnbc sprang from microsoft. rupert murdoch, for all the criticism he gets, is invested in the media and innovation. mike bloomberg is doing a ton of stuff through his company. they are hiring hundreds of people. i worked at bloomberg 15 years ago, and i was in europe as a foreign correspondent. there were 40 journalists, and now, there are thousands. i think it

you guessed it, that's paul krugman. [laughter] now, back to the, you know, you can't make it up stuff, the analogies between the two are so striking it's just downright ere -- eerie. they are both socialist. he's a defender of the welfare state, the best arrangement devised and advocates a state that offers everyone who is underpaid additional income. he and touey both hate rich people. krugman wrote in a column that rich people have to be defenders of the downtrodden, otherwise they have no hope of, quote-on-quote, justifying their existence. we have to kill them if they disagree with him? now, there's a hypocrite thing. are we surprised? paul is a wealthy man. from public record, he has a million dollar home and a million dollar apartment in new york, a multimillion estate in princeton new jersey where he teaches, a 6,000 square foot home with a music room, and there's a fire pit outside where he and other faculty members have been known to burn in effigy various republican politicians. he hates the rich other than hi

"new york times" columnist paul krugman called george w.ther things, for his behavior after september 11th. "the times" lost another subscriber. it's true. former defense secretary donald rumsfeld among the readers insulted by krugman. rumsfeld tweeted after reading krugman's repugnant piece on 9/11, i canceled my subscription to "the new york times" this a.m. a lot of people are doing that. >> now he doesn't have to go and get the paper. gretch? >> feeling the need for speed? check out this school bus in nebraska complete with just three seats. i got to look at this thing and 42,000 horsepower engine. >> those kids have to get to kindergarten real quick. >> it sets you back in the seat with a couple of g's and you just launch and before you know it, you're up to 300 miles an hour. it's really a neat feeling. >> the bus is the brain child of an adrenalin junkie. he thought it would be cool to build the bus to get kids interested in what he does, the bus, by the way, goes -- what was behind that ing? goes 320 miles per hour. wait a minute, g

paul krugman of the new york times will be like who. well john foley of reuters says that despite nigeria's bold move china's currency still has few of the qualities of a credible reserve currency and here are two of the qualities he says are necessary for a reserve currency one low inflation is usually a prerequisite yet china's runs out above six percent. i want to turn our attention to shadowstats inflation numbers and as you can see the red line is the official number so it's always well below six percent of course but the blue number up there is that based on how the u.s. used to calculate consumer price inflation before in one nine hundred ninety when then president clinton came in and manipulated it but as you see right before the financial collapse inflation in the u.s. was almost fifteen percent right so inflation in the u.s. is well above six percent so that argument doesn't hold water that's exactly correct and then he says stable monetary policy is another typical condition yet china lacks an independent central bank so you

as paul krugman writes. the president. in a letter to obama, house speaker john boehner and mjt leader eric cantor write it is critical our differences not preclude us from taking action in areas where there is common agreement and not approach this as all or nothing situation. our question for you is how should the president handle the country's divisiveness in his speech tonight? i'll read your comments later this hour. >>> two men who want barack obama's job, rick perry and mitt romney, clashing last night at the big presidential debate. >> interesting to watch because sparring over social security and who is better qualified to create jobs. jim acosta watched it all and he joins us live from los angeles this morning. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning to you. rick perry said last night trting debate that he felt like the republican party pinata and because he was. rick perry and mitt romney stood side-by-side at the reagan debate close enough for the fur to fly. first on the question of which g

let's look at paul krugman., conservatives can straight to hell, they want black people hanging from trees. it never stops. here's what krugman says about bush and giuliani. he said what happened after 9/11 even people on the right know this, whether they admit or not was shameful. atrocity should have been a unifying event instead a wedge issue fake heroes like bernie kerik, giuliani, yes bush cashed in on the horror. they used this to justify war, et cetera. giuliani and kerik nearly died on 9/11. they were right there at ground zero. they didn't leave in spite of being told they should. "new york times" author, what think? >> it was horrible. badly written. the whole thing was -- the guy is having an acid flashback or something. i don't know what has happened to krugman. one thing i can agree with this that article which was when he said this -- the rest of the stuff on bush is horrible, wrong. bernie kerik despite the tax he's in prison, still a hero that day. it did lead to the war in iraq, it made iran the

>> you know, i refer to it, a lot of liberals including paul krugman. the bottom line, look at the facts. social security as a 17 trillion unfunded liability. the trust fund is made up of ious it's a pay as you go system which is close to what a ponzi scheme. i know it's not illegal because the government is doing it b if a private investment advisor it would be called a ponzi scheme. >> it's a pleasure you are, thanks for joining us. >>> the book the c.i.a. the f.b.i. and federal government don't want you to read. find out why it puts them to shame when it comes to 9/11 and the author, a former f.b.i. is here and he is next. getting grime from deep inside grout takes the right tools, but also a caring touch. you learn to get a feel for the trouble spots. to know its wants... its needs...its dreams. ♪call 1-800-steemer.

we'll start with paul krugman. "free to die" and in response to what he said at one of the republican debates where it seems people were clapping at inappropriate times. maybe they just really meant it. he writes this. what this means is that modern conservatism is actually a deeply radical movement. one that is hostile to the kind of society we've had for the past three generations, that is a society that acting through government tries to mitigate some of the common hazards of life through such programs as social security, unemployment insurance, medicare, and medicaid. are voters ready to embrace such a radical rejection of the kind of america we've all grown up in? i guess we'll find out next year. want me to move on? >> sure. >> okay. >> i'm not saying a word. >> why not? do you agree? >> what's next? >> washington post, the great ponzi scheme. when franklin roosevelt created social security choosing 65 as the eligibility age, life expectancy was 62. today it's almost 80. fdr wanted to prevent the aged few fro

krugman. and he ought to play like the archies going on vacation, spin the globe and throw a dart at scandinavia. paulatever you are hasn't worked it's about to come down, the curtain. if guys hate america so much, they should look for another place. i think krugman is bugged that he feels we have a culture where elites pass their wealth down to other kids and he doesn't like that. unless, of course, it's punch suls burger and pencil burger at the time. >> suls burger and the kid inherited the paper. last question on this topic. do you believe that americans should do what rumsfeld said? we have a right to disagree with it but we should be respectful. >> they are already doing that they don't have to have rummy lead them out the door. the "times" has circulation problems like a sumo wrestler in a thong of every rest. >> bill: it would be very cold. >> constriction issues. consumer based stuff. >> i wanted to walk through that president obama out on the road for the great american jobs act. and you say? we can all play the game and i don't want the race card dropped on me. this guy's first three years
