Back into the center tonight as we put forth -- -- talking points memo I don't believe president Obama's really trying to solve the fiscal cry yes in this country.

Apparently Washington Post agrees -- saying the president is making it very difficult for Republicans a compromise on issues.

The reason.

Mr.

Obama wants folks to get mad at GOP so they'll vote for Democrats in 2014 giving him.

Control of congress -- -- from Washington Fox's political strong crowd.

Because this is the cause celeb tonight B Holmes and I got -- and and and I don't again I was probably too rough on Allen.

But I want to ask you what I asked fossil -- do you know of one specific program federal program.

The president city would caught or any kind of specific cuts that he would do to Medicare or Social Security just walked.

Let me just say they're from what I hear.

-- -- exchange with columns no one died so that's the good news.

Right a very specific cuts no I think the answer is now okay Obama -- laughs I don't wanna stop you there.

Tell -- because this is important for the audience to understand why I got so upset.

So the president has been in office for more than four years right.

He has not offered one spending cut in a budget of 3.2 trillion with a seventeen trillion dollar debt.

That's flat out irresponsible.

That's not all policy problem.

That's a subversion.

Of our financial system.

And that's what's really worrying me about this because guys like Colmes continues stick up for mr.

Obama because of ideological reasons.

While he's putting every one of -- in danger.

Or am -- overstating this Charles.

Though because you've got the numbers.

And the maps on your side commander side interest in -- and he hasn't cut.

What he's done is he has increased.

Year by year they're spending increases at the beginning he was able to call it stimulus the largest spending.

Bill in the history of the universe.

Over 800 billion dollars in one shot.

And I don't know what the residue -- that is and -- for a couple years he shied away from the word stimulus but every time renegotiated he wanted more spending.

And what'd he -- his inaugural address and what did he say.

In his State of the Union Address only this year.

He wants to in -- which is the new Democrat record for spending he talked about Spain and -- about cuts but I meant to say earlier he will dangle.

Occasionally hosts say you know well in negotiations with the speaker.

I offered XY and Z this is always in the back room in the whispers show -- on paper shallowest in a budget that he hasn't done.

Because he is and that interest is -- OK so I'm glad because you follow this probably closer than I follow it.

But the -- -- are to my remarks to Alan Holmes in the talking points memo and to the American people.

Is that we're not.

Being dealt with honestly here this is about gamesmanship.

And trying to manipulate the border to -- the Republicans out so that Barack Obama can impose a far left vision on this country.

-- -- -- -- -- -- And he's willing as Brit Hume said last night on this broadcast to let people go down the drain financially.

If the dollar collapses and -- very well happen.

To get this political ideological thing Don.

And that's -- not being told the truth by Alan Colmes by President Obama or by anyone in the Democratic Party.

Well here's the truth of Obama's intentions.

I wrote there's in the beginning of December.

He was very clear -- -- in the negotiations.

In the fight over the fiscal cliff that Obama has no interest in cutting the deficit.

Has no interest in cutting spending he simply that it should -- it's.

To his credit a vision of America it's not mine is not yours.

But he has a vision he outlined it openly in the State of the Union Address an entitlement state more along the lines of -- he thinks it's a more.

Just society so what he's -- -- you're seeing these days.

In order to win that division in order to enact things like Obama -- he needs control of the congress so what is unique about him.

Normally a second term president is that interested in the Posey finished -- in politics.

He wants to enact his agenda but Obama knows that as long as the Republicans controlled the house he can't.

Proceed all right so the welfare of the neighbors you know be damned.

The welfare of the economy be damned.

I'm gonna get this ideological Jihad Don.

By making the people be angry at the Republicans because they can't possibly -- -- living on this stuff right that is the strategy.

That he's been in in his defense.

He would say that a person of his left liberal social democratic ideology.

That in order to achieve a more ideal society.

A more just society.

You've got to enact all the stuff he wants to do and still is left on done.

Control of education and rationalizing.

Child care the national rising energy cap and trade -- that you've got to -- all that.

Green energy have to impose it.

Had in order to achieve that which he thinks is a higher achievement.

-- to crush the Republicans.

And then he'll have in the last two years the opportunity.

But always a home -- I get -- -- -- -- heat in your mind shelves.

That he's willing to put -- and higher country in jeopardy.

Economic jeopardy.

To realize this vision he's gambling with our line this year.

And that's why I got so angry and I am angry I'm gonna continue to be -- to next week will do the Sandra flop thing beaches here pails in comparison to this and the importance -- -- years.

If you need you know a little bit of anti anxiety -- give me a car I don't ever take anything at.

After columns not -- not be a medical emergency -- we need -- -- either catharsis tomorrow you let me ask you guys out there around.

And I should I overreacted but I feel passionately about this Charles I mean I think we're in danger here here are right back.
