And he's got a new bestselling book out fully states have been number one on the best seller list for Amazon. For -- most recently -- was number was still on the single digits -- how Barack Obama media mockery of terrorist threats liberals who want to -- talk radio but do nothing congress companies that help I -- us and what to do about -- coauthored with his wife. I -- began Dick Morris thanks for being with us here about how -- show."

" Look good to be here telling you know what do we barbecue Obama little."

" How about ready to start and let's start let's start required taxes let's start with the taxes which Hugo would -- and again you don't think this is something I can't understand that well it's I know the mainstream media I understand where they're not paying more attention to it. But I think it'll run of the people that have a lot of -- in their for Obama. And -- and they don't all have trust funds to meet some of them are going to have to pay at this new kind confess or not new but this returning consistent -- pop marginal tax rate that he's been talking about."

" You know I'm I'm very concerned about that obviously I think that you can impose the twelve and half percent Social Security tax on all income. And -- raise the top bracket to forty you have a Medicare taxes raised most states have about 10% income tax figure at about 6364%. A urine from the -- intact. But the thing that's completely destroyed. Which is going to hurt everybody in the top informed us into a depression that where. On the edge of recession it is doubling of the capital gains. Because capital has acquired -- mobility but never used. They don't want to invest in the United States anyway -- the dollar is so we. And interest rates in the United States are so low. But somehow that we managed to hang on to a bunch of capital of investing in our country and creating jobs here. Once you double the tax on capital from 15% to 30%. With one click of -- that capital was -- Shanghai or Hong -- And different attacks that yields no revenue in fact. Colts Q rep because the higher you -- that the fewer people so stop course so real -- or buyer. And these. You fewer taxes or pay the weight Bill Clinton balance the budget in 1996 and 97 and 98 what that cut the capital gains tax from 28 to twenty. And that he increased the number of transactions that let's admit hundred billion a year or more about I didn't attacks."

" Dick Morris author -- on the bright side though -- Barack Obama has flip flopped on every other issue why why do we do we think that he's not going to flip flop on the idea of raising the capital gains tax."

" Because he made the initial conditions but he took. Again got -- in favor of gun control against -- Church groups giving social services just a little worse and financing all that took those positions. To win the democratic prime. And he is going to have been very liberal democratic congress they'll have at least 55 Democrats to maybe 58 and possibly sixty or more. Us by your five seats that have gone completely reject him not -- Mexico Colorado Alaska and north and New Hampshire and."

" Like hell -- I hope you're wrong about New Hampshire anyway his."

" Stop and then you have about 870 considerate and play Republican incumbents that are in trouble. So with -- staunchly democratic congress is going to be forced back to the left began I saw this with Bill Clinton. He moved to the center in the general election of ninety jail and that he took office -- he had to choose to like go after welfare or health care which is my first target. And cut he wanted to do welfare reform the congress made him do healthcare reform."

" This economic Trevor great ironies about Barack Obama -- it's getting no play whatsoever in the net in the mainstream media he's this guy's been against the welfare reform act -- back the days of as a rookie a state senator in Illinois and now he's running ads TV spots in eighteen states saying what a great thing -- welfare reform is exactly and it doesn't get called on it except. I call -- this -- on fox and it -- Wall Street Journal."

" It is okay we're running for president. He would -- talk about that this campaign but he's very busy cultivating votes in Mexico Brazil and columns."

" Now what is this I don't know I don't understand this even he gets a great break Dick didn't he do with these this this attack by -- what are we Clark here and he immediately -- rose out of the country."

" You know. The taxes -- I'm not the major on that Obama can do it by George. The major -- can do it I think he's going to destroy the health care system in this country. Because when he talks about 47 million new Americans who he's going to cover by health insurance. These including fifteen million illegal immigrants that. He's going to offer every illegal immigrants -- Federally subsidized health insurance plan as good as the congress itself yet but that's going to do an addition to costing a 125 billion dollars a year. Is going to and then in addition to attracting a lot of illegal immigrants. If it means that if you cover all the illegal immigrants from Boston -- only so many doctors to go around. And they're going to have to start rationing health care you can't have an MRI you can't -- stand. And you American citizen because you're overweight 78 years old and smoke. You can't have bypass surgery an illegal 22 year old immigrant as the rest of his life at a."

" You you know did decked I don't know if you was in world war aware of this but they just raise the cigarette tax by a dollar a pack in Massachusetts 4% but they did -- do for the commonwealth care so call that was Mitt -- Universal Health Care -- The -- and everybody was going to pay the reason we needed Universal Health Care was everybody's gonna pay another saying. Gee whiz the same people who didn't pay before I E illegal aliens aren't paying now so we're going to need are more money to give the more health care."

" Correct well I would favor of increasing the cigarette tax sucks the pact if it through the money down the toilet because it would save you a lot of money. What about health care of one of the chapters I have in this boost to the red meat that it begins financial news crews and -- a lot of people. Tobacco does don't as separate out they don't kill 400 has."

" People a year. And sleep. One of the chapters in this book. Is about how the movie. Studios are featuring smoking and they had seen -- movie you actually have cartoon figures like Hercules smoking. US teenagers smoking. 80% of the PG film. Have smokers and even the only 18% of Americans smoke and we go to battered one of the chapters on loading on the tobacco company."

" 18774694322 if you want to talk to -- more about politics -- about his new book fleeced it's just been published you can order write -- of our website at how we car dot com. Let's talk about the the fairness doctrine that you see you see more worried about this than remote most of us and -- radio."

" Not just worried I'm certain that happened the fairness doctrine says visual -- we have three hours of -- We except Korea is about right. And to upset him. And the problem is not that you have to listen to Al franken can he can turn off the dial. But that the station. Makes a lot of money are Cahill makes a lot of money from -- are but it's not going to make any money from Al franken is nobody watches listens to nobody -- Air America went broke. So what they gonna do is they'll -- it an effective means. That they get half the revenue they now get from how we participate got to spread it over the Al franken hours to. And a lot of stations to just gonna definitely -- pop music instead of stock."

" On on AM I don't think again you too many listeners on the I'd love for hip hop music but Dick here's the thing about putting the fairness doctrine indeed most of the reading most of the major radio -- in media companies are owned by liberals. In the gonna they're gonna -- they're going to hold lobby that that liberal congress that you were just talking about because if if they take. If rush goes off I go off for all right -- goes off. Guess where we're gonna resurfaced we're going to resurface on the Internet. Editor why -- fight in yeah and but even -- even more important satellite radio was the Internet and wifi is coming into the cars. And it's it's just it's -- work."

" Yep at the the congress is really committed to this policy endorsed it. -- is endorsed it and it's going to happen Obama has select."

" But what I'm saying is will still be around will just be in a different venue and you know they they can't they can't put this genie back in the bottle call the Barnett."

" Yet Martin that you have something that there was Don Hewitt 25 -- a million people a week it was. And it's the only source of conservative information and the United States except for Fox News. So you know it is if you mother let its a big deal and at that point that I am making in the book. One or the other chapters which wanted to talk about briefly protect it was -- the wave that terror. Incidents are downplayed by the media."

" You mean like the Los Angeles international airport and salute a few years of my fourth of my -- go."

" Like the yep plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City they found the guy they found a torture is that -- capable of cutting through the table. They found this apartment -- engineering diagrams the specified. Accurately where he could stand -- do it without being detected and be able to work for weeks if you needed to without anyone being -- earring yeah. And yet when we arrested the -- the NY times that this was. Not feasible this never would have happened this is just perspective of plot and it basically implied there was something that the -- just a step scare us so bush could get reelected. And."

" Why does anyone read the New York Times anymore IQ I can't read that idled by the New York Times or the Boston --"

" Credible and you know when they have a plot to bomb Kennedy Airport. Had the funding had much of the weaponry had an inside guy cargo handler who can participate in the plot. And access and understood all of the fuel lines in the airport in New York Times put it on page twenty."

" I remember that that was that was -- the -- that was the Sunday New York Times did that yes."

" We have in our book on page 1450 this marvelous chart which reprints of the diversity guideline. Issued -- by the society of professional journalists. A group of 10010000 journalists and members of that and it's said don't use the phrase Islamic terrorists. Because -- went to religion to criminal activity. Instead describe the person in terms of geography. Socio economics or policy to -- instead of an Islamic terrorists and lower middle class right wing at Downey tribes."

" 118774694322 Dick -- the title of his new book is full least. How Barack Obama media mockery of terrorist threats liberals want to kill talk radio would do nothing congress companies that help I ran -- skimming us what to do about it. Paul your next what powered car Dick Morris go ahead Paul."

" Cut up my Alley right Dick two questions why -- it. Now why is there any chance that the -- Wall Street Journal people what with what at eight. How about the support journalists and you'd think -- Wall Street Journal picked up anything on -- do other than financial number one and the second question is. On -- yeah."

" On -- on the he's -- much like."

" It's questionable internal 200 doing a very good job lately this great editorial -- do you -- up covering -- covering politics yes and and I think -- I think they're scared to death of an Obama presidency and they really. Explaining the facts of whether in fact would do."

" You think it's -- great. Meanwhile bird -- though he always cuts deals you know I mean V -- that he doubt dumped John major and went over to Tony Blair went look at Tony Blair was -- when he's already been raising money for Barack Obama is people."

" Yeah well I I think at this point his influence over the journal even now he owns it is a little limited because -- just to get over. And and I think he's slowed to intervene in the."

" Is there anyway what would you tell John McCain to do if you were I would tell you were described."

" that stuff that I talked about in the first chapter of this book I wrote to thank you John McCain for his staff to read and absorb. Talk about the fact that right now we have when we investigate potential terrorist group. We have six months that we can do so once secret infiltrate the group figure out -- getting their funding -- actually it's really get the lowdown on the group. Obama wants to reduce that notice requirement to seven days. So we can't keep begin an investigation got to send a letter -- possible terrorist organizations. I -- investigators here with tapping your phones were opening your mail and we checking your bank account. Eleven cases he apparently friends that the Homeland Security. "

" I I think though that at the White again this -- going back for Wall Street Journal editorial today they they say that he's like backing away from some of these -- your policy deposition only took it because he realizes now that he's going to be the one who gets blamed if there's a terrorist attack because these left wing positions that he's espoused."

" I don't think it's -- believe for a second that he's going to back off because he's can be forced to do it by the liberal congress. I saw a president Bill Clinton who took office wanted to be -- which I don't think Obama does I think Obama wanted to be a liberal. Who was forced to the left by it would grow congress. And that's just what's going to happen to Obama and and the result is that you can end up implementing all of this stuff. Whit whether it. Whatever he says during the general election I can't believe you have to believe he's lying now -- told the truth the first."

" It thanks for the call Paul Mike you're next with how we car and Dick Morris author of -- go ahead by Mike."

" In my I always help -- What you don't hear about it to view of the liberal congress. Is parallels what I'd been telling everybody for awhile though that if it -- becomes president few days after the inauguration. Is going to be a knock the White House or they'll offer certain that you policy and -- activity at a Milwaukee and shut the door. And ethnic ministry aren't going to do what we tell you to."

" Yeah exactly exactly precisely. And and I think they -- have sixty votes in the Senate -- they'll have 57 of 58 Democrats and terrifying few Republicans and one like Olympia -- and a few others or. They gonna have over sixty in addition to the five seat assignment you have the following senators who were in serious danger -- Republicans -- Collins of Maine and norm Coleman of Minnesota Gordon Smith of Oregon. -- pat Roberts R Kansas Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Elizabeth dole of North Carolina. John cornyn of Texas and that's an open seeded Mississippi with the former democratic governor running. And Obama -- well black turnout to 38 a 40% of the vote and he may -- Europe eight potential pick -- in addition to the five but I restarted certain. He could have 63 democratic senators."

" very often it is scary it's horrible. Happy for the July pointed -- it."

" The right wing and attacking written you know attacking Obama. Is going after Reverend Wright and show Obama and Wesley Clark a whole lot of stuff but nobody is going after Obama and I'm. They're they're following an automatic door before they're trudging in the tape not the matador. And it's very important that we focus on what this guy would do let let me explain it in these terms. Right now. If we can investigate a terrorist group. With an I not toward prosecuting them in court but toward finding out what they can do and stopping them from doing. And if we get evidence that's not admissible in court that's we just don't use it in court we use it to break up the terror plot. Obama would eliminate that he would go back to the World Trade Center in 93 investigation. In which everything we do has to be exactly is if we were prosecuted and all the evidence we get has to be obtained the situation as to be fully admissible in court. So the evidence to get -- questioning Mohammed and whatever his name is Khalid Mohammad the guy who planned 9/11. Wouldn't be admissible in court because he's not a commitment that the five and it's just say if he's not there in court. But you can you get to welcome to put to rest the guy who he -- going to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. And Obama would close down that avenue the investigation much to what else."

" How how does that how does that help kimbo long term that you know I'm in the view of the first terror attack."

" He's the constitutional law professor isn't it deep seated belief it has."

" It's a deep -- well you know again he's he's he's going to be in trouble I don't care how dumb down the country is. In how democratic the next caller --"

" He's going to get reelected -- But he's gonna do damage to this country that is irreparable."

" I just don't I don't know I mean I I think he's a bit of an empty suit but I don't think he wants to commit political suicide that the peace major suggesting that he's going to do he would be he would be --"

" That is going to do it. Yeah that he -- just."

" I know he is with the so what are and -- he's he's he's been backing away for about tried to defend it I'm just saying. I can't believe he's this stupid that he would try this stuff and and -- lead to another and most likely lead as you point out to another terrorist attack."

" It's a lot a lot of legal -- on bush. A lot of this is stuff that the democratic party's going to force them to do and I think he's true believer I think he was telling us the truth. The first time you know what -- I'd rather not find that."

" The item believe me I wouldn't either I think most people listen to the show don't want to find out but again we don't we don't have much of Canada on the other side do."

" One of the chapters we are here is that we Trace the 420 folks that work. -- from Guantanamo yes and we document that fifty of them. Fifty of the port twenty you were -- killed. Or recaptured. Four wounded in from the DNA we can itself that we had been in custody in Guantanamo we -- them and they returned to webcam you know what they're soldiers."

" Released by the militarily not by he's not by liberal outlet liberal court that a large island -- yeah."

" Under pressure from the liberal courts they had him breathing down my neck and they began to issue as has left and right. And they're two hundred fifties it was there that probably going to get free but -- habeas corpus rights. Because we will not be able to prove that they are terrorists with admissible evidence. Will let in admissible evidence will have inspections which the lawyers will say what -- worst. We will have other people mainly from and the -- would say those were coerced and we will not have that beyond the program beyond a reasonable doubt which is what you gotta have to hope --"

" Thank you five justices of the US Supreme Court what."

" Bush needs to do is to go under the Geneva convention again. And say that these are prisoners of war and we can hold -- until the end of the war."

" thanks for the call up Mike Kevin you're next with Howie -- and Dick Morris author of fleeced go ahead Kevin."

" Are real honor to be able to speak would you at your question thanks. I wonder what you think well god you can people. And then all of our old -- in his lack experience it -- When it comes to the issue of national security in Europe and domestic issues. -- him so far this political year."

" Well I think I think it I think -- I think it infatuation. I think a lack of media scrutiny effective media -- I idealize it and that went right about that. But you know a lot of people think he's like -- and it. And I think it you're in an unfortunate way he would. We all have been focusing lately on how Kennedy narrowly averted nuclear war in the Cuban missile crisis. It's a book it's just chilling thought about that. But haven't we get into the Cuban missile crisis in the first place it's because Kennedy was section eight -- use that he got. When it slammed into doing that they paid. And then he met with -- two months later which could never should've done and quick get pushed him around it's said that that the -- I can get away with anything I want. And he went into Berlin and anyone in Cuba. And almost blew up the world. -- I think Obama has great learning curve here it is -- he and that is not the time to elected American who has that kind of the learning her. When he says for example with -- negotiate with not many jobs what he's doing is giving this -- legitimacy. Up by talking until. And the but you know book by the way I would point out that there are the awaited deal without manager is that you have. 480 companies that are investing in businesses in -- grant. And helping the Iranian government pursue its oil and gas reserves which commences its nuclear program. And we need to cut off the pension fund investments and most companies and we need as individuals to sell its docket has company. And we made them in the book they're Siemens Hyundai Alcatel Lucent show BNP Paribas and and."

" And now let's -- until he said the magic word pensions I mean it's like you know we can't really go after or the so called oil speculators on the on the mercantile exchange because. All these pension funds like -- are involved in in the speculation and they're they're makin' billions."

" And you're gonna have I think in the next seven or eight months or less. They crash on the oil futures market which will bring oil prices down to three bucks a gallon. But these didn't send these pension funds into terrible --"

" I'm sorry I can't lose a lot of sleep over that -- Dick Morris thanks for being with us that title of your new book is -- and it's on the -- on the bass soloist or soon will be we always appreciate -- being on the show. Thank you think about it that's Dick Morris you Norton book on our website how -- cart dot com 18774694322 will come -- just keep talking about current events and I'll read the editorial in The Wall Street Journal. And now --"
