and we cry every time. his ability to capture the human emotion of history and combine it with a great moral lesson puts him in the handful of presidents who had that capacity. >> greta: how is president obama doing on egypt? >> i don't think they have a clue. i think it is very frightening to watch this administration. >> greta: would anybody? >> reagan would have had. reagan would have had -- reagan would have thought about and studied radical islam. reagan would have had a strategy. and would have pursued it. he didn't do that in the 80s some are going to want to complain. he had one foreign policy in the 80s, defeat the soviet union. he didn't divert himself because he wanted to defeat the soviet union. >> greta: calista steelers or packers? >> i've got to go with the packers. >> greta: calista from wisconsin, nice to see both of you k >> thanks greta.
the way judges are ruling more and more people are starting to see this as a massive over-reach of federal power if this stands there is nothing congress can't do. if they can tell you you have to buy a health insurance plan they can tell you you have to buy anything. >> greta: you mentioned the court in florida. how about those trial lawyers that helped you out? how about those mean bad trial lawyers? >> today they are my best friends. >> greta: i figured they were. in terms of this health care bill. let me ask you about the opting out that senator graham is seeking. let's assume it passed and states were allowed to optout how would this law be funded? >> i think all states would optout and the bill would be dead. the thing i don't want to do now is try and fix a bill. >> greta: a law.
solving our problems. i guess he believes that he has solved all the problems in new york. here he is in the good state of arizona. it has been a fascinating story. we are a big second amendment state i support our laws here. i've signed gun laws here. what he went after the way it was portrayed is not what the issue is. i think all laws should be enforced. those people that buy guns from private owners at a gun show have the responsibility, if they knowingly realize it, someone cannot pass a background check or if they suspect that maybe they are mentally incompetent it is a state felony and a federal felony. those laws need to be enforced. >> greta: interesting, according to the newspaper he spent $100,000 with eight investigators. i guess on the bright side, they probably stayed at a company of hotels in arizona -- [ talking over each other ]
reform it in. we need health care reform, not the take over that we had behind closed doors. this is about doing what is right for the american people. if we can get to the point where we have good honesty-based, no bathroom deals, no cornhusker deals to where it is good, true reform i think we can get something done. >> greta: how long do you think you are willing to wait before you think that the president is not serious about eager to get help from -- ideas? >> i'd say in the next 10, two weeks, 10 days to two weeks, we should hear something by then if he's serious and wants to do what is in the best interests of the people that's the thing that is nice. i come from the -- fresh out of business background. i've been dealing with this stuff on a firsthand base business for the last 14 years. i have some good ideas i can share and hopefully he would
