What's what's your run what's your take on the in in a minute or less on the syrup violence picked by John McCain."

" I think it's emboldened brilliant gamble and I think it's gonna pay off big -- I think that. We needed to do something to get his campaign. Seen in the totally different light by the American people and you needed to demonstrate clearly to send a signal that he was. Not definitely not a continuation of the Bush Administration. And she does both of those. The major function of vice president just to illustrate the characteristics of the president. That's like gore which useful Clinton -- underscored the generational thing. Current history as investigating corruption and overthrowing the political establishment to demanding ethical change. Illustrate that aspect of McCain's agenda which has really been in remission lately ever since he got domestic side."

" But -- Supposed to interest and words remission and you and I'm not surprised."

" But now that he's awake. Really is really demonstrating. I expect you -- on American backed by."

" Yeah I was going to ask you have you ever seen anything like these this over the top media assault on her."

" Yeah incredible is that nobody has tightened how to abuse to -- too much that was children. I mean. -- that you it is so sexist but they aren't after -- but I think it's going to -- it's I think that. You know when they -- women don't -- the Senate when they almost force Mondale to dump or are those attacks were made after the convention was over. Eagleton was dropped two week after the convention. If you make copies the text before she speaks. She couldn't get back after the speech she's gonna resonate with people deeply every but he will applaud the selection. And they end up -- back on charges that may be ashamed of themselves were listening to the human being down of those who profited."

" I think -- I suddenly felt. I know above the left wing blog sites they have these you know pools and you're going is when she's going to step. What exactly she charged with that's going to force or off the taken and we all know talked. Tom Eagleton had in the past mental problems I mean you couldn't understand why he would want him on the ticket there's nothing like that in her background."

" Yeah Eagleton was incarcerated back at a -- plot. But -- she has a lot of -- lot of misconduct that apartment daughter is pregnant. Her husband at each of the last twenty years now while these are big they're big sister is locked in abusive marriage. Her -- very occurred. Net nephew which injured by a brother in law. It was a real center."

" It. At a club in Italy the I just I. I don't believe that they you know then I guess yesterday the New York Times and everybody and I like I'm sorry that I went along with the New York Times because I believe that they must've checked. They said choose a member of the Alaska independence party that's not even broke her husband was. But again how could you how do you be held responsible for your husband's missed the."

" And analysts and the amazing thing here. Is that if you don't have a record like Obama doesn't. Faced with the senator in two years and two more years running for president not showing up. Are okay. It is legitimate then to scratch around with anything confined to try to find what they -- this woman has an extensive public record. She brought down the whole state establishment. I'm in much weight by the way it Rick Thompson -- establishment when he found brought the -- the part apart. And the governor. And that's way that you'd need arms in the gimmick. I think that she as -- fabulous public record she illustrates an important part of McCain's agenda. I think should do brilliantly and I expect that this is going to blow up in the -- critics."

" We're speaking to Dick -- she's the author of the new best seller fleeced it's available bookstores everywhere southern a target over the weekend --"

" What's that what's good about it is that you really lays out what Rudy Giuliani is gonna talk about night which is laying out the public policy is. A Barack Obama."

" You what is it what do you mean the the public can be going to catalogue."

" The things that used for the its Arab. Covering illegal immigrants some health insurance. Dublin capital gains tax when where in the middle of the capital's starvation. Afflicting homeowners and borrowers all over the place. Weakening the Patriot Act dramatically I think Giuliani's in the late at -- that piece by piece and we cover all of that at least not -- strapped."

" 18774694322. If you have a question for Dick Morris the a political consultant and and I read his stuff on Dick Dick Morris. Dot com and Dick what do you what do you think what's your take on night you know Barack right now has like a 56 point lead in the polls -- it's something of a bounce last week apparently what what do you think the the the numbers are going to be like over the weekend after the Republicans go home."

" I think he probably got huge -- of the some of that speech was great speed that you want to greatest. And but unfortunately there was never aren't all because he gave -- late on Thursday. And by Friday night out lately have been picked. So I think the -- selection. Not at that completely. And see there was no -- she was. On Friday night and I think as the election war war toppled that the novel that is some of the chargers caught up with. The legitimate charges of -- that the illegitimate child. The I think what that happened is some of the -- to reasserted itself. -- it's now five to eight but I think that I'm. Eric finishes speaking tonight it'll the two straight. And I think by the time in connection speaking on Thursday if he does a good job. He'll probably be -- or at."

" That he's capable of doing that he -- delivered good convention speeches in the past."

" He sure is that the worst convention speech was Bob Dole in 1996. Whitney stalking back returning for the past that now permitted out from the plan everything out with a reached its mark. But if you got a big mistake like that I think it'll be okay."

" Now what. About the what about Joe Biden I mean the other I was there was an interesting story today saying that Joe Biden I forgot about this they play everything was paying attention to begin with. In in 1981. Ronald Reagan wanted to have one of his own guys in not to at the State Department he had to have senate confirmation do you read this column that I. Is that it was it was a justice Clark of the California Supreme Court. And he let it and so they brought -- Senate Foreign Relations Committee Agassi -- minority member at that time by releasing -- did was start asking of these obscured these -- who's the president of this obscure country that obscure country he knew we couldn't you don't stop him from Jennifer confirmed by the Senate but he just went out of his way to humiliate him. And this guy this a writer was suggesting that perhaps that the bite might try to added that a trick like that in the in the debates."

" Yeah well you might. And that would handle that well it depends on what westerners and with a chance of one strand Pete Wilson's campaign in California. It was the merits and Diego running against Jerry -- and it. Brown wanted to make the point that he was really experience. Look what -- so he said. Next week which it will increasing books but got -- regret. And then accept mr. Wilson that Wilson do you support UN resolutions and thirty partners something. But we all gasped and what happens to get that refers to US public UN -- policy toward Namibia. Relieved and -- completely fluent answer. That we put a bumper stickers and the abuse."

" It just seems -- you know Biden added that the Democrats are really treading in the immediately say it's the same thing obviously there that treading a thin line here with -- them look what happened Rick Lazio looked. Or Hillary Clinton back in."

" I'm just not just believed that this is from a party. Nominee at stoke park an eminently qualified woman everything considering our vice president. So. He's spent the first two years of this campaign making sure woman didn't become president and can spend the next two months making sure one doesn't become vice president. And it helps do that with wins out."

" Do you think he do you think he had McCain with us air pale -- the -- has got a shot at a large number of Hillary votes."

" Yes but I don't think that."

" Sorry I don't think that they're. Going to beat the feminist -- pro abortion. Pro choice. -- I think they -- all -- might go with Obama. I think that will be. A large number of single women. Court that will be the swing group in the election in the east peace soccer moms and or security moms now with a single. And they would normally vote overwhelmingly Democrat. I think they will find Sarah -- a particularly in the issued against particularly in having an adequate block grants. Particularly in being married to somebody who may at one point had a drinking problem. Particularly to be married to to have a sister was married to cook who Brent Graham with a taser gun case it is that the -- get. Eleven bureau thought I think that. Every family as that and it's not the plot. And I think that they will Ian -- Eight and empathetic figure and they will see in the -- somebody who's going to be nonjudgmental. And willing to. Embraced people based on what they can contribute not based on -- society."

" This but this is like be on non judgmental and this is like this is a party that the Democrats -- pride themselves on being nonjudgmental. And and now they're raising all of these issues about it. Yeah last issues it's -- them I mean it just stuns me every time I just I I dip into the cable news world that I just hear this this stuff that crusade about."

" That there is I think it is great tremendous. Level of support -- McCain could get as people realize the -- He knew that cheap at a -- of wet black grand it's grandchild. Coming at that he's still letter on the ticket I think that's very."

" And the -- he knew about that too apparently."

" Yes or as the yeah right exactly I think that the point here is that she is that she's being subject being treated very fairly upbeat. It will be up the grossly unfair which beat out and I think that it is establishing. In front of the women voters who of this swing voters. That the Democratic Party as -- no longer -- Brent."

" 18774694322. It's a couple calls for -- she's the author of -- at the bestselling book right now he ordered off from our website how -- cart dot com you can also read his columns on -- Dick Morris dot com -- next with Howie -- Dick -- go --"

" My call you cut -- I have two questions one is I I look it up. Pat how that is going to have Obama -- notes Laura and I guess and then literally convention. I don't. -- that it doesn't it take away from the conventional and you have well Leno Leno at Obama."

" That convention on the number anon in the middle of Obama. So an advocate stirred people up. I think interest -- and you know -- you have something like that -- rightly so much violence as Obama. If it was Obama is strong at the very -- like -- Hillary. It will do him melodic but we'll see Obama answers the question. I would let me ask a question which comes. Right might the least we talked about it and your show a couple of weeks ago you heard at the convention again repeating the figure. Up 47 million uninsured Americans -- covered. And that includes ten to fifteen million illegal immigrants. -- going -- The illegal immigrants syndicates say no like saying you're gonna cover 47 million Americans."

" The other. Yeah William you you've seen that Michael Wolff has a new book coming out about the Vanity Fair mean media columnist has a book coming out about Rupert Murdoch -- in December I -- he got great access to Murdoch. And the excerpts I've seen the interviews with wolf say that that that Murdoch is that kind of becoming more liberal as he ages. And he's he's still friendly with -- but I I get the impression he was embarrassed -- that's the word -- and one of the -- smiled -- now so Riley got the -- gonna get fired everything bottle -- rarely is you know he's -- he's the top spot in -- like -- That should be interesting well."

" You know he's not the -- but he'll be just fine. And -- haven't been Murdoch is very focused on ratings I don't think he would have a."

" All dogs -- yup but I just say that you know it it doesn't seem like he's Murdoch's -- darling."

" Yeah there are. Aware -- it and it. And it I wouldn't think would give Obama an easy ride and I think -- can really go after. All most of the expertise so fairly him at a perfectly."

" Thanks for the caller he Karen you're next with Howie -- Dick more -- that Karen."

" LEI. -- your advice on two things. One how would you suggest but he can't city international question. If you ask them into kind of been dumped. And number two seat when they announced terror they have the daughter holding the baby. And today when McCain. Came to the airport. They had all her feeling lineup but again they haven't had got a hold in the baby do you think well invites to get under that name of the father said all the baby your democracy and all the -- instead of maybe presenting it as the tip taking care of the baby."

" Just like a soap opera -- there were -- even get a questions is."

" Terry you Aaron that the media. It echoes that aspect of is in the access to ask that he would never it's a male candidate where -- question. If -- his daughter held a little older daughter else's baby to what you would never even think to question -- but because. It's a woman you think about that question."

" Karen white insecure you want to respond."

" Yeah I'd like to Dick thank you pat but but no I wouldn't feel that -- I feel like that this kind of like the baby is -- get -- you know McCain yeah. Right I feel like you know the mother should be holding her father I but I feel like the kind of played this little baby in the kids' and making politically what would you advise them to do. You know -- lately up in the question."

" They should do whatever they feel that bad I. You should have a photo of woman running for vice president over a baby. It would -- manipulative. And it's. I'm writing that he or not writing. But -- to get criticized or I think that I think that you don't want to picture of the next -- potential president of the United States open -- want. The you want other people do that but you want them to be focusing on serious doubt. I I just think that we. You know interest and that is -- yes it certainly it why are women so stop on the whip. And candidate. And manner not a and I said that I felt that men don't and don't try to. Don't try to emulate. They'll candidate. Whereas women just try to emulate women they admire and look up. That's what magazines and so affect it. Manipulate. And this and waited you and I might try to track like John Kennedy when really it's Alec yeah women are always. Watching the women and deciding whether or not annually. And it becomes that much more personal judgment. And demand would ever make about a man or for that matter that a woman would ever make them mail politics."

" Did you see the -- by the we're speaking of women in magazines all that sort of thing and women holding babies did you see the cover of of of us weekly on the Drudge report that's amazing thing the difference in the way they cover -- element and Michelle and Barack Obama."

" I did I did not see --"

" welding they have a picture why Michelle loves rock. And then then doubt that they have the picture of the for the -- cover of syrup Pailin. And it says you know via controversies with the new governor admits husband's affair unwed father sir prices images. It's it's just that could hit a hit frontpage. For LG from the -- Duaner who's put. Who put the halo around Barack Obama on his other men and only about."

" Magazine has never -- a negative story and it's light. That would try to."

" They have now they had there are the ones that drive but the national enquirer. That can't happen. John you're next with how we cards to our school had jobs."

" HL -- questioned under our acute. You noticed it it seems like a lot of the mail correspondence in the men talking heads really are just like seeping in just this pent up. Hatred directed at -- and it's almost like they've been waiting an opportunity dog leash on a woman's. An Italian net because I'm not effect I'm not that one of those metro sexual or I've just never seen a lot of that it's almost like this is bigger than themselves."

" You know this sense that. That it could that it -- pro choice you're not really a woman. You know it cannot let go on those issues here at traded at the gender this sentence just so ludicrous and ridiculous. And and I think but I do believe that. Voters -- sick a -- In the on an outsider. Which means job but it. Convention is to make sure people see him as an agent of change akin to what bomb although different direction. And they realize that they're not voting more than. Then once Obama and seen it cheaper relative parity the distance between them -- not that great. Then by explaining what Obama's plans are. And how he really -- the economy and -- address security it becomes pretty easy to somebody's which. Obama and McCain because they're both agents of change and I think -- reinforces that image beautifully."

" What they want more call and -- go on Dennis your next with Howie Carr and Dick Morris the author it's at least. Go ahead Dennis."

" Hi you know what. -- until less -- him on the head of the United. It was worried but I'm not waiting for because first of all besides having -- substance is also great -- antiques let's -- this -- way to -- On top of that I'd love this he hurt and I. Come on they're wearing you know good black outfit which did not sign. And bring in the river blaring out -- loud. In the background that you --"

" You know he'll try he'll try to go to court to get a temporary were straining order to prevent them from use and that's on an -- about."

" in the -- Ronald L -- Ronald Reagan did you know the formula saying I think it would be great I think that regular. Vote Reagan used born in the US rate cut it off after the -- anarchy Warsaw."

" Yeah idle the -- together going to use the river I don't know what they're going to use the -- use running on it to either for Barack Obama that that Jackson -- suit to Dick Morris we appreciate -- being what are you. Excuse me who I. Jackson brown died. Although we don't I don't which you don't know what city beat face thank you what that more -- not how I didn't know he did not -- what you don't like it to somebody else. I don't. Know though we -- the -- read this week we don't want to -- another. Okay that that balance thanks for -- the author of fleeced and you can check out stuff on Dick more spot com. 187746943221.
