Amount of money that will not be spent that -- -- to be spent.

This year.

And in -- -- we're gonna spend more this year than we spent last year.

We're just not gonna spend as much as was projected its -- baseline budgeting there is no.

The same stuff hits the same threats it's the same arguments over and nothing.

Ever changes.

We just keep spending more money we create more dependency we get more and more irresponsible one crisis to the next all the manufactured.

Except for -- real crisis which nobody ever addresses -- matter is we can't afford any of this.

And joining me now with reaction Fox's political analyst Juan Williams in the CEO of Herman Cain dot com now a Fox News contributor welcome to thank you thank you not gonna die here 999.

Yes and I read his comments in total.

And I started thinking -- and myself about what -- Hussein.

Here we live in the greatest country.

That god gave man you believe that one believe I believe that rush believes it.

It's it is embarrassing.

Herman.

That so many people are suffering needlessly it's embarrassing.

With our wealth and all we have the fifty million Americans are on food stamps one in six Americans -- from poverty.

It's embarrassing we import oil we -- more oil than.

Then.

I ran Iraq and Saudi Arabia combined it's embarrassing when the president is a demagogue and goes around the world apology for apologizing for America.

It it didn't it didn't think these are dumping giving Egypt F sixteens right this is embarrassing.

Listen to what rush say it you know it's insulting.

To continue to insult the intelligence of the American people.

We don't have -- leaders in elected position we don't have a lead in the White House we have a politician that's more concern about popularity.

And he intentionally and it did deliberately -- with the Democrats deceived the American people.

That's what rush is saying he's embarrassed about it is outright deception.

And in -- and -- and I don't have a problem with what -- -- it.

But he also -- it.

It's insulting.

To not believe that most of American people have some common sense look 51%.

Of the voters elected Barack Obama.

What -- -- percent of us not that stupid.

That's what he was say.

And so don't throw all of us in the of that lap now because the fifth the 1% put him back in office it's insulting to the intelligence of the American people over and over and over Juan Williams.

Well I I take a different point of view from my friend coming.

I guess I'm.

I did -- -- I want these guys and I thought the two of you were who love America and as you rush rush loves America -- so I'll get a question on and I made mistakes.

I don't care if you've got eight.

Right wing president -- left wing president this is America.

This -- the the land of greatest opportunity there's nothing to be ashamed about if you -- -- blame America first if you would be part of that crowd.

Maybe you -- to go to Hollywood and join those celebrities -- Say they're gonna leave the country if their kid doesn't win the election.

And hope you know what I hear what Rush Limbaugh and Limbaugh as always thank all of you know what I hope he fails remember when he said that about Obama I don't hope America -- -- That's I was -- a show I did an interview with a when he said it excuse me says Democrats and that stuff.

Yes my swing -- -- was his point I mean what has never understand Russian frustrates me.

-- I want you also are right I got -- -- -- that -- got the intellectual honesty test for you.

Not a -- not once but twice.

We have the tape.

Let's -- what Michelle Obama said about America.

Sure.

And let me tell you something for the first time in my adult life I'm proud of my country because it feels like hope.

Is finally making a comeback.

For the first time in my adult.

Lifetime I'm proud of my country and not just because.

The rocket's done well but because.

I think people are hungry for change.

And I have been desperate to see him in our country moving in that direction.

And just not feeling so alone in my frustration.

And disappointment.

She's -- for forty years old and for the first time in -- adult life she's proud of our country.

Russia and I'm proud of his country want on the.

Had today apparently they say and I think this is what I did you.

-- is blowing out but I mean when it went Michelle Obama said that if what I got his trouble because I was critical of -- -- she couldn't -- it Stokely Carmichael playing and hope to be a good First Lady and you'll notice she's ball back.

But that's not the point here tonight the point is as we deal with this sequestration issue shot.

We have to say how do we get a deal not start turning on each other and embarrassed hitting -- interdependent or shamed about -- United States.

And America mr.

-- wanna travel a 180000.

Dollars an hour that he can't cut that they -- gonna spend more money this year is rush just said.

At least -- -- that we spend last year.

And yet -- demagoguing this issue.

Putting fear in the hearts of the American people and frankly outright lying while he's still stealing from our children.

46.

To Valhalla and what -- about losing one point four million jobs that don't I don't I don't know.

Reality that's 0101 program all right one -- moment just listen okay I know -- difficult my brother.

But I am embarrassed that we have an administration.

That ignores the debt.

Eight -- is an economy that's struggling remember it contract it.

In the last -- -- -- it is predicted to contract some -- the first and second quarter ignored when it three million people who out of work.

Ignoring the fact that unemployment rates gonna go up.

It you know -- eight -- six trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities.

I'm embarrassed about that because the people in office that could do something about it but not doing in that they -- coming -- Okay so we are okay good point -- -- here is the right now law businessman.

Herman Cain you're a successful businessman you had just made a bottom line argument that I love because if you look back at the last quarter last year what do you see.

The Defense Department -- spending.

And what happens to GDP the economy slows down.

Now we're approaching a sequester the got -- pull money helter skelter from every sector.

What do you think that's gonna do our economy one thing you -- and unemployment rate bond it's gotta -- get -- -- hit her while America moron why.
