this from russell from north carolina saying you say one out of every $6 goes to health care but note the money goes up in smoke. that money pays a lot of workers, like nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, insurance agents, customer service and so forth. it also gow paying for the upkeep of hospitals. guest: do you realize that the cost of health care is two to three times that of inflation, and that is from the joint centers from political and economic studies, a gentleman who also works at howard university. so it is a major cost for this country and for private citizens. host: andy has this comment. i do not understand why national health insurance is such a bad idea according to republican party opinions. the system has been working very well in israel for many years and republicans and democrats do not say a word about it. are you familiar with the israeli system? guest: no, i'm not. but there are other places that there's essentially universal health care and it seems to work pretty well. now, every country is different. so you can't necessarily transpose another situation

walter russell reed, project director for the pew forum, was quoted this week saying after years in which global warming activists lectured everyone about the overwhelming nature of the scientific evidence, it turned out the most prestigious agencies in the global warming movement were breaking laws, hiding data and making inflated bogus claims resting on, in some cases, no scientific basis at all. president obama, secretary of state clinton, and u.n. ambassador rice need to apply all the necessary pressure to ensure that dr. pechari is removed. i also call on president obama to direct his cabinet to stop supporting any policies -- any policies that relied in whole or in part on the fraudulent united nations reports. it's time to have scientific data behind such policies independently verified. administration policies relating to climate change will cost millions -- millions, mr. president, of american jobs. we need to get this right. to continue to rely on these corrupted u.n. reports is an endorsement of fraudulent behavior. it is a signal to the american people that ideology is more im
