Speaker -- plan -- is not any compromise.
Who's written for the Tea Party not the American people.
Mean enough for the American people -- senator Reid is the Tea Party from outer space and mr.
Biden what about your accusations today that the Tea Party.
Quote acted like terrorists.
Terrorists really.
Maybe just talking -- -- and -- no doubt Democrats are scared of the Tea Party.
Now take a look -- my Democrat friend Bob Beckel reacted to my Tea Party -- today on the five on the Fox News Channel.
A lot of the Tea Party we're gonna say thank you for a big big -- -- T.
Not announced that for about a big -- it's a big Bob just.
Just about they'll give us and it got a lot of us today hi I -- -- -- yeah changing my friend look at that they definitely changed.
-- -- -- -- -- In any -- it later that's a big baggy T joining -- -- -- Fox News political analyst Juan Williams.
And author of the new book muzzled the assault on honest debate.
And one this win for the Tea Party means what for the Democrats.
Well -- pretty unhappy I got to tell you you know today with a very big day in Washington this tremendous amount of activity Gabriella -- coming back but.
The boat itself the way that it.
Went down the high number of Democrats who oppose the bill.
I think that what you're seeing here is that as sort of a a sense of tremendous frustration.
You mentioned this word terrorist you know in both the New York Times editorial also the wall street journal editorial.
They talked about the Tea Party as hostage takers and forcing.
The country to the brink of financial calamity in order to get their way.
I just think that at the moment for the Democrats they feel like they were taken in the President Obama didn't stand up -- One you may not have noticed that we have and Coulter in studio for the whole -- probably cameo is fortunate to be careful what you say see why He should come down in New York I'm joined us but.
I would say and it at the -- pointing out some things however it seems like the rhetoric has been stepped up not from the right I know why you through the Wall Street Journal on their one I'm not sure where that we came from but.
You know little Krug man in view is that the -- now it's so much funds who listens -- liberals tonight it is so much much.
Quite you know I'm sorry at least Republicans have been doing something they keep introducing into budgets they keep introducing cuts and some way to deal with entitlements.
I think we're just saying Paul Ryan.
They pass a budget -- passed the Boehner bill they passed the dean -- -- balanced budget amendment they pass.
Cut capital balance and the Democrats very worried what is He what is PM and a bottom doing that sooner or something or songs so and -- -- -- -- one.
-- -- Question is there any at all that you you just listed that any of that actually become law than any of it make a difference -- zip not I'm not -- bad.
I think no I didn't I tell you something the idea that they wasted -- -- time on what they were stick and arrows in John Boehner is back.
Hurting your own leadership it seems to me they just put that in the country to the edge when they should've been working on a deal President Obama by.
Well -- don't -- Dan can jump in your book what it would whose date.
We wait and last I checked there were Democrats held the senate and Democrats had the White House is well under what you're saying that that.
Boehner and -- et Al should have been pushing for more -- they came up with forty and then just -- -- for a.
Well now they didn't come up with -- think all -- did was vote and stuff they knew was never gonna become law never could pass the -- much let's get past the presidential veto so they were just wasting time.
I like you're making a show and the buying John Boehner weakening John Boehner.
The speaker of the house.
We're leader well I think we -- her looks like that is what they want.
-- I'm not I would never even a big fan of his He is magnificent and also well will all come together so there was little disagreement among some of the Republican we're still all Republicans and mean the Obama and Reid.
And the purpose to I really think what you call wasting time I seriously think with a very useful because of the most important branch.
The Democrats control which is -- mainstream media.
Who -- blaming the Democrats or the Republicans -- 100%.
For.
The debt ceiling not being raised no we wouldn't of defaulted but there would have been there would have been Smithsonian's national park shut down Republicans could have been blamed for that.
But it got to the point that they could be blamed for it because even the most obtuse American.
Watching the Jersey -- knew that all these billions kept coming from the Republicans and and read and -- Monica shooting them down.
So don't get the reply switches game of chicken to make it more difficult for the Democrats not to sign this bill let me -- I don't think -- just let me introduce -- a reality.
The touch of reality is this tonight -- polls out that -- 72% of Americans think.
This whole charade with disgusting negative and I think the word that in the -- they used most often it's ridiculous.
And the reason they say that if it was a waste of time.
Really a bunch of chest beating by the Tea Party guys who actually screwed up the whole process here and brought the country the algebra.
We want we didn't.
Again we're excite the original deal on -- if you -- -- -- what everybody was saying including on Fox News.
Not even two weeks ago was well it's going to be a combination of budget cuts and tax hikes no tax -- Been in jail -- OK so you if if you consider.
Not putting all the burden on people who are on -- here for example could you had had gone up.
Up you have a at the same -- -- And starting people and children there are going to be out.
And how -- is the reality you know it's a reality this a reality because you know much of the debate was about the trigger mechanism that's gonna go into effect if the commission can't make a deal with the congress and in late December.
And what does that say if there is no deal there will be severe cuts in terms of doctors' payments from Medicare.
And nursing homes where people go to -- Eric that's most -- stagnant anybody that's really.
I don't know but but what if there is a -- what they're smart enough these twelve what whomever they may end up being in less than a year and what they're smart to get a deal and actually cut another trillion dollars.
Of spending going forward.
Then that then you know then that that there is out the out the door by the way if you wanna blame the Republicans want.
The Republicans don't want that to fail in a year also because that means a 50% cut to defense spending there that's bad for Republicans are gonna get -- -- I want to tell you something Democrats and the reason that -- so unhappy -- the reason and is right that I think that the Republicans won has.
Is that Democrats say it shouldn't be a matter of whether or not defense gets cut or you get seniors and poor people getting hurt by this.
How about.
The very rich in this society paying some taxes you know where a low right now sixty year low in terms of taxes as a percentage of GDP in the country.
And yet nobody said the Republicans like like always got too many taxes around here that's just.
No -- we're both gonna jump on you for about want to.
And anyway and all the facts slice and I look at not just the richest people we want that 50% mark paying anything look at why we got needed to have my friends now if you're here you can argue with us a little bit more than -- and figure -- -- -- our next time you do right from your.
