tell them you are not satisfied. >> tell them sean hannity sent you. >> tell them sean hannity sent you. they will know they are in trouble. >> the votes are coming from the democrats themselves. it is more inviting we have seen since barack obama came in office. >> the american public is getting sick and tired fed up with the fact that they didn't buy into that. missouri is one of the purple states the swing states that could go either way. days go by the rules keep getting worse and worse. as you get into specific issue whethers it's the healthcare, whether it's the economy it's just tanking. every day it goes by the american public is going to tank. >> interesting number, sean. his approval rating is actually the exact same as it was for george w. bush in july of the same near the first year of the presidency. >> i don't know what you -- rasmussen have him below 50 the first niem his presidenpresiden. >> poll i looked at showed him in the low 50s in the gallup poll. the point being he's personally quite popular but his job approval rating is really equivalent to what it was with geor

the hannity headquarters. sean: i like that. let's start with the poll numbers and you brought the black board and let's look. >> this is the backdrop. his job approval in the fox poll, 53-40 approve, disapprove. but among independents, 49-44 and that is a shift from a few weeks ago when it was 54-38. so in a matter of three weeks, it has declined among independents and you see that same decline in independents in health care reform. 34% approve. 49 disapprove. among independents, 29-50 and in july it was 33-43. sean: i want to stay on that number, because the gal up poll shows, 2-1 independents have moved away from obamacare, why do you think that is happening? >> should we do something about the deficit or health care as the fox poll asked. 57% of overall said, let's do something about the deficit, 34% said health care. among the independents, 59-32. what we had was a flood of spending, $787 billion stimulus, the schip bill, the omnibus spending bill. we had $350 billion in the bank rescue bill, which he voted for last year. t

usually, they go after guys like yourself or authors of books or sean hannity and rush limbaugh. i find this as almost unprecedented. we just saw a veteran at the time but ship -- tim bishop town hall. let's look at these people that are the angry mobs. it is an elderly woman asking a question. this is all part of the angry mob. roll that tape. >> harry reid and the rest of the people in congress and the senate, are they going to be on the same plan they are asking us to be on? sean: does she seem like an angry mob? she seems like she could be my mom. >> according to barbara boxer, if you dress neatly, you are neatlyrent-a-mob -- you are a rent-a-mob. they outrage has been stirred up and they have the nerve to accuse this legal lady and the veteran and other people of being a fake. you cannot get actors that. sean: what is the net result? i think i know the answer. if you try to smear the american people, as far as i recall, we are still "we, the people," if you discredit them, what is the net political fallout of doing something like that? >> i think the net political fallout is

and what about sean hannity? sean hannity is very polite with the david duke of the east coast. why don't you criticize them for this and can you please also address the sexual harassment charges against you at the "washington post" in the '90s which you apologized for. can you tell us what were the details of those and why did you also say that michelle obama -- >> guest: i don't know this thing about wetbacks. i don't know what to say about that. and then he said that sean hannity is friends with bob grant. i've done his show. i don't know. he said bob grant is a cantankerous -- he said a racist. if you had a specific short of that, i know that bob grant's tough law and order guy if that's what you're after. what else was i asked about there. bill o'reilly i remember once being involved in a controversy where o'reilly had gone up to a restaurant in harlem with sharpton, with al sharpton and afterwards had said it turned out to be a fine restaurant and all the rest and people said that's a crazy assumption. what had happened i was on the air with o'reilly and we were talking ab

sean hannity. sean hannity started right here in atlanta. i was on his show. i have been on all of their shows. sean: he is invited back all of the time. that is one congressman who did not go into hiding because he was afraid of facing his constituents. >> to goç out and "g grass-roos citizens, stay at home moms, senior citizens, who are concerned about $500 and unspecified medicare cuts and losing their health insurance, and they were called un-american and evil -- to go and take concerned citizens. they have paid the ultimate price and board the ultimate freedom that we can speak of freely. -- borne the ultimate freedom that we can speak freely. >> i gives got credit for saying something nice to you, i would not go back to your democratic caucus if i were you -- i give scott credit. you used to do it, and you know it as well as i.d. -- -- as well as i do. sean: do you think that she is a monster? >> she is a very nice lady. -- a mobster. once in awhile, you are a nice guy. the point is that these guys a walked around the meetings that i went to with a lit

they have attacked fox, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, health care industry, banks, big business. they always need someone to hate. >> campaign politics is about division in my view, having covered a lot of campaigns, but who do you make your enemies? in the end you need insurance companies. no one says this, his plan, insurance companies won't turn a profit. that's going to happen. sean: even the c.b.o. says, tens of millions of people are going to be forced into that public option, if you believe the heritage foundation. they are predicting 88 million people will be forced out. >> look, the administration has to answer these questions. we can't just go blindly into accepting health care program that hasn't had any -- i mean, look, we haven't divided the health care program up enough to understand what the future is going to bring about and i think the american people right now are frustrated. you know, i can't take the two sides of this, but what i can tell you, i'm getting emails every day from the american people and they feel they aren't being listened to. sean: it's one thin

sean hannity is a republican. it is obvious that he does not like president obama. and thinks his policies are bad. but, in totality, with shepard smith coming at 7:00. with bret baire coming at 6:00, you have a presentation that's not overtly hostile to president obama. what we -- what the contention is is that we glorify the protesters. but that's bull. we just don't demean them like all the other networks do. so i'm trying to get in my mind why the obama people don't see this as a negative toward them. a fight with fox hurts them. helps our ratings, hurts their ratings. but they continue, i think, to make an issue of it. >> well, i mean, the one time during the presidency was the one interview did with john harwood. now, i know other cable networks when they hear the president say cable chatter think the president is talking about them. many think the president is talking about us. during one of his recent town meetings, he said, you know, if you go across cable and you stop your remote at a certain channel you know you hear critical things. bill: of course that'

i said sean hannity, rush limbaugh. they laugh at me. everybody thinks these rush limbaugh and sean hannity and all these radio talk people have all of this power. they are nothing but a joke. this new guy, what is his name, i can't remember his name on fox news. he comes on at 5:00. he is a madman. guest: we don't have the power to control how many people turn out or how they behave there. all we really do is facilitate their participation by letting people know when the town halls are and giving tell information about the subjects. the passes are so tydeep we can send out an e-mail that says calm down. there are a lot of americans who, i think, agree with the idea that henry david thoreau sadist oi sa said disobedience is true liberty and they realize they have to raise their voices and it is too bad that it gets to that but it shows the frustration people have. they go to the town hall and hear the spin. i think the senator specter town hall was a gooding of what was getting to people. he would say we need to consider these things qui

hannity that are not true. >> reporter: so democrats are now trying to play defense, sending out these health care fact check cards to supporters with their own talking points. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> couric: a key player on the republican side of the battle over health care reform got an earful from his constituents today at four town meetings in the heartland. here's cynthia bowers. >> reporter: the man many say is the most important member of the senate when it comes to health care reform, iowa's chuck grassley, took his turn on the town hall circuit today. >> we're here with such a large crowd because people fear for america. ( applause ) >> reporter: he was facing standing-room-only crowd at every stop. >> we don't really know what's happening. >> reporter: as the ranking republican on the senate's finance committee, grassley is trying to cut through the noise and come up with a bipartisan health care bill that's acceptable to everyone. >> you know, i have been criticized for being at the table, just like i ought to be sitting in nigh office with my feet up on my desk

go to foxnews.com/hannity and look for this border map. back to you, sean. sean: thanks, ainsely. as we said drug related violence in mexico is not slowing down. since mexican president felipe calderon ordered troops and federal police to combat the violence, 11,000 people have been killed. joining us now is the producer of the documentary "drug wars silver or lead." rusty fleming. those numbers are staggering. i mean, this -- these are frightening, chilling numbers. like open warfare going on down there. >> you know, sean, here's the thing. and i tell people this all the time. that you have to realize that these cartels have crossed every boundary that used to guide these groups. and now with the fact that the military has put pressure on the cartels, they're acting out in ways that they've never done before. and we're also seeing it in places that they've never acted out before. i mean, you just saw last week in acapulco the 18 men that were shot there. we're seeing the violence in -- and even though the military's involved, even in jarez you have 10,000 troops and military pers

because you were sean hannity because you can get your knee replaced. conservatives can pick out a little things here and there that you want to shoot out, 70% -- >> it is all elderly. can you not see who is upset about this? they fear that they will be out. sean: if you take out illegal immigrants. you take out the illegal immigrant equation, you take out young people that choose not to buy insurance because they want to go out and party. >> then it is 47 million people. sean: >> it is about 15 million people. 84% of the people have health care. why would you try to change something that has such a success rate? >> if they lose their job they will lose their coverage and will not be able to get it. if they have a pre-existing condition and will not be covered. if they get sick, they will not be able to get health care. >> why are they out at these town hall meetings being angry like you have never seen? these are not interest groups, this is a middle-class america. >> i and stand that. they are angry because you are talking about things that don't have

sean: people are asking smart questions. >> and they don't like it and people like sean hannity or rush rush limbaugh are inciting mobs, inciting fear. just answer our questions and there won't be a problem. sean: all right. so the net fallout is if mcdonald wins in virginia, and christie wins in new jersey, that tells us what? >> that tells us that the democrats had better back up in a hurry. if i were a democrat in the house i wouldn't vote after this until after i saw those elections. if christie and mcdonald win, that's trouble for them. sean: the blue dogs if they support cap and tax -- >> they're done. sean: stimulus, they're done. >> they're history. sean: are you ready for our concert?

and you will see sean hannity, not only does he get up on stage and talked, he dances, he sings. a great time. the crowds went wild. sean: it was a great concert for a great

greta: sean hannity wanted to know what this anniversary was, and i would not tell him. let's grade the six months. let's start the first 1:00 p.m., we are looking at different criteria. the first one is on employment. 14.8% in february, 16.3% in july. that is usually a lagging indicator -- the first one is unemployment. >> this is probably the worst one, because, after all, the stimulus was to create jobs. i brought my chalkboard, because, after all, i m&a staff professor, but i would have to give them -- i am a tough professor, but i would have to give them an f. we have actually lost jobs, so on that criteria, they did not perform. greta: all right, another indicator to look at would be foreclosure notices. in february, there were over 290,000. in july, it was 360,000 plus. >> i think the housing market has improved a tad little bit, so i am2going to giveç them a . i do not know if we can introduce this to the stimulus plan, -- if we can attribute this to the stimulus plan, but sales were up. greta: so you are thinking that is a positive, new home sales. all right,

hannity who had him on to talk about the black value system that basically says that the way any blacks who achieve economic success are being bought off by the capitalist system and are to be shunned. but in my stories, i reported for the first time on reverend white's sermons, saying that the government created aids to kill off blacks, that israel is a racist country, that the government created killers to kill off minorities throughout the world, et cetera, et cetera. and also that the same reverend white gave awards to farrah kahn for lifetime achievement. who picked up those stories? nobody. nobody touched it. i mentioned the stories to a cnn rerter at a party and she had not seen the stories and she said that's amazing. of course, i could never run a story like that. i would be accused of being bias against barack obama by my network. finally, after sending the stories to friends i know in mainstream media, tv networks and newspapers, after about two months, i did a "wall street journal" op ed quoting the sermons and abc and fox did start running clips of these sermons that revere

hannity. bill: totally absurd. i have never received a republican talking point in my life. cbs should be ashamed to use a dishonest sound bite like that. the battle lines have been drawn as the nation is deeply involved in the most intense political debate in years. president obama has the power of his office and most of the peed i can't squarely behind him. the folks have, the folks, we will see who prevails. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. the latest poll numbers. according to a just released opinion dynamics poll 49% of americans now oppose obama care. just 34% favor it. and when asked if they are satisfied with the way things are going in america. 61% of americans say they are not satisfied just 3% say they are. and in a rasmussen poll, the president's job approval rating. joining us from los angeles doctor who treeches at occidental university and scott rasmussen. it's a pretty stunning last four weeks. you can put it in perspective for us? >> the president's numbers have

best tv oopsy, sean hannity of fox and stuart varney of the fox we're not doing any business channel, hannity said two bits of news came out. max baucus said social security could face default within two years. varney promptly agreed. spencer baucus said it. spencer bachus, not democratic senator max baucus of montana. oh, and congressman bachus later admitted he made a mistake and meant to say deficit. social security could face a deficit within two years. first chance at default would be 2037 so fox got the name wrong and branch of government wrong and political party wrong and the quote and fact wrong. there's been no correction. >>> dateline washington, number two best ex-politician oopsie. tom delay now affiliated with "dancing with the stars" on with chris, never mind for a moment he turned into one of those invasion of the body snatchers, conspiracy theory birther things listen for the blooper. >> will you do me a favor. ask the president to show me his gift certificate? i mean his girth certificate? his birth certificate. >> that's how obama can reform health care. send everyb

their major spokespeople are people like dick cheney or sean hannity, rush limbaugh. they don't have the stature they once had. they don't stant stand with anything. they haven't come out with their health care plan. sarah palin is looking to be the republican candidate for president next time around. for many republicans that's a nightmare because she is a loose cannon. so they have a republican party that really is looking for issues, looking for ways of reasserting themselves. a defeat on health care would be a great way of giving the obama administration a black eye. they are not going to be able to do that. again, 51 votes is all the democrats need to get health care or a significant part of health care through the senate this fall. >> secretary rice, i want to bring in jon hillsenrath, my co-host. i don't know if i should call you professor or secretary or professor secretary rice. >> your highness will be fine. >> the job market, isn't this a political impediment for president obama right now? it seems to me he's going to have a challenge in the months ahead ma

hannity. an outraged o'reilly responded, totally absurd. i've never received a republican talking point in my life not realizing by implication he was saying his colleagues beck and hannity had indeed received and delivered republican talking points. team work. and dateline, british columbia. number one. best cliche' shattered. simon fraser university has introduced a new grade lower than an f, an fd. failed with academic dishonesty. plagiarism using essay writing, online services, etcetera. no professor can dish out an fd, only a department head. shortly after it was introduced it was reported the university of alberta had already introduced a grade worse than f for cheaters. in fact two of them. the f-8 and the f-9. which can be improved to an f after only three years. ♪ don't know much about history ♪ >>> it's a point of hate speech on talk radio and tv is to goose ratings then on our third story there could be no better indication than to lose money from advertisers who say no thanks t

. >> savannah, we saw rush limbaugh, among others, sean hannity as well, begin in fact to criticize the notion that some democrats would call on other democrats to support ted kennedy's legacy and pass health care reform. do you expect that call will be made more formally for democrats and even some republicans? if so, do you think it will be effective? do you think he will have a gipper like opportunity? i have to ask you to hang on one moment. mark sanford is speaking, lieutenant governor has formally called on him to resign. sanford rejected that yesterday but we're going to hear what he has to say right now. >> i wanted to very briefly offer a couple of comments in light of a letter that we sent, our office sent back to david thomas yesterday. it really fits in this larger category of the response i gave yesterday to andrew bowers letter to my office in which in that letter i basically said two things. i said, one, let's not make decisions based on hyperbole, media accounts. let's make decisions on facts. two, when one looks at facts we have a compelling record in terms of watching

hannity and sarah palin on the lecter circuit making speeches and making millions of dollars. professor gates probably as a result of this will never be racially profiled again in his life whereas i can walk out of the studio and it might happen. that's why it's so unrealistic anymore what the experience is that they're having. alex, when is the last time you know of any african-american or white american who was originally the suspect in a potential burglary or break-in, and then ultimately winds up celebrating the event at a beer festival at the white house, with the president and the vice president of the united states, in good company with the arresting officer? that doesn't happen. >> it doesn't happen. >> and it takes us off of the issue. >> the thing is, there is a unique situation, because the president did insert himself. it's all unique because the president of the united states is black. i mean this whole teachable moment concept, do you think the whole country is looking at this situation a bit differently because the president is involved? are people giving this a

sean hannity, glenn beck, bill read the but even among those three there are very diverse opinions on basic policy matters and on how hard orow soft to trt barack obama and then of course there is a news side which i think is unfailingly fair and baland so again to level an a hominem attack to fox to discredit a foreigner page book is ridiculs. >> host: our guest is michelle malkin. eric is joining us from lake park, iowa inpendent line. >> caller: why i wanted to know if this book, what is your answer to all of these questions you have? what is the answer to-mike leavitt book alpa don't have a idea? >> guest: well, i think that sunlight is the best disinfectant and i think that this closure will help breed disclosure and i also think there is simply that knowledge is power. and i think that the american people have not been fully informed about just how much n elusion pope and change the era of hope and change has been so i think the book part of the solution. >> host: another quote fro the book, this with regard to secretary state hillary clinton. >> guest: oh yeah, tnk they are the

yesterday i was listening to sean hannity. he was having her on as his guest to talk about how in the health-care bill she was on as the bipartisan witness for the bill. that is why you have some misinformation being posted around, and i forgot where i read this, but some of your viewers will remember one example of that misinformation is that in the town halls you keep hearing people listening to talk radio, talking about section 29. it turns out there is no section 29 of the bill. they also start -- there is a little game of telephone going on. host: mike allen, his piece this morning in thepolitico.com. we want to hear from you, as mike allen indicated in "usa today" reporting, the focus of the latest airwave campaign in 21 states on health care. we begin with alberta, on the democrats' line. good morning, welcome to "washington journal." caller: good morning. host: please go ahead. caller: my concern is that there are many doctors out there who know the scam, know how to get super rich, and why are they doing that? to beco

i said sean hannity, rush limbaugh. they laugh at me. everybody thinks these rush limbaugh and sean hannity and all these radio talk people have all of this power. they are nothing but a joke. this new guy, what is his name, i can't remember his name on fox news. he comes on at 5:00. he is a madman. guest: we don't have the power to control how many people turn out or how they behave there. all we really do is facilitate their participation by letting people know when the town halls are and giving tell information about the subjects. the passes are so tydeep we can send out an e-mail that says calm down. there are a lot of americans who, i think, agree with the idea that henry david thoreau sadist oi sa said disobedience is true liberty and they realize they have to raise their voices and it is too bad that it gets to that but it shows the frustration people have. they go to the town hall and hear the spin. i think the senator specter town hall was a gooding of what w getting to people. he would say we need to consider these things quick

sean: that's comforting. more "hannity" in 09 seconds. sean: they vased bitter vee tree ol, name calling, and violence, yet ordinary americans are coming forward and insisting their voices and questions are heard. tonight, we give them a place to speak freely and frakly. senator specter met my next guest and he didn't handle it with a whole lot of class. here's what happens when craig anthony miller questioned the senator. >> you want to be let out of here, you're welcome to go. now wait a minute, now wait a minute. now, wait a minute. wait a minute. wait a minute. >> i have every right to leave. >> wait a minute, wait a minute he has a right to leave. he's right. wait a minute. wait a minute. wait a minute. sean: miller claims senator specter's office told him he would be allowed to speak, but he was not given the mic, so he took matters into his own hands. let's take a look. >> i got news for you, you and your cronies in the government do this kind of stuff all the time. well, -- [applause] >> i'm not a lobbyist with all kinds of money

and what is up with sean hannity? we'll ask that next as well. $$$$$$$$$$$$$d >> just a few feet from texas, were as is the epicenter of a vicious turf war that has engulfed mexico. rival drug cartels are creating a ham as they battle for control of classes or shipping orders straight into the heart of a miracle. their biggest customer. >> alysin: that was a little peek at the eye-opening special or stories investigates drugs money and narco terror. we're back with colonel oliver north who hosts the show. so colonel, tell us about this war. is it just between the drug cartels in mexico or are innocent people getting caught in the crossfire are smart. >> alysin, a lot of innocent people are caught in the crossfire. honest cops are getting caught mexican army is caught in the crossfire and some americans, in fact two this past week. what is happened is the drug cartels, principally five of them have gone to war against each other in an effort to achieve supremacy over the mexican government. and president of iran called in the army for

at least as i say with sean hannity, speak decipherable english and i don't even know if that is what they are saying. i can barely understand them, they can talk about closing or in the azores or something but i think there are america bashing fess mack i think maybe they are. you also write in the book about david gergen is quote, it was during a cnn debate about the election campaign and he was discussing a presidential debate in he said the mitt romney tried to argue less five about some liberal establishment which doesn't exist anymore if there's been a liberal establishment in shrunk and does not arrive in washington. that is a seven this concept. how can a christian who has been around for so long in such a remarkable assertion? >> guest: the greatest part about the quote was he was talking to alex and said you know that, and every they give you the you know that all sensible people agree you know liberals are lying and this is what we use to get all the time of the left before there was any alternative at all. it was just to have five people were crazy for talking about the fa
