Welcome back let's find out if -- got any runs soap opera that we get a TVs and leaving it.

Andy has at pains Italian pretty well Greg thanks for asking -- yeah.

Excited prompter -- now I'm pumped -- how many days it is what's that -- -- is what's the exact count -- even now I think we're about Daimler about.

840 until the premier New Year's -- actually -- -- on its -- less -- really yeah I think it comes out a couple weeks.

And I can't wait to have -- check I have the tickets online on my computer print it out so.

Perhaps secure a countdown clock like we planned to do yeah yeah it comes -- December ninth until it's never not had a -- -- that's actually -- that's just around the corner -- It's fantastic movie you know it was an analytic are now -- every one yes.

Probably just -- Ashton Kutcher yup.

He's good he's great yeah good to -- great Natalie Portman which is like a female Ashton Kutcher yep yep yep.

Some other people that are aligned with an odd couple other alive people yes Seth Meyers -- -- -- -- alive.

Yes who have.

Their ability is dead inside.

I'm -- leave the Seth -- We'll talk more about this morning I think we should -- -- -- Guy that can accusation in the new surge and imagine that that New Hampshire union leader isn't that Manchester union leader that the little discount at setter at the altar of even back -- though wasn't the endorsement not as big a deal -- it was made out to be it's not like Pat Buchanan won the Republican nomination -- I don't know I don't mean in terms of actually producing results mean in terms of conservatives respecting it right now that's scenes -- -- -- fight is in the primary is John -- -- all the Tea Party years.

Think you know it's -- guy -- right.

No no I agree with you I'm just speaking more yeah it hasn't then nick hasn't been decisive yeah and then I.

It -- an apple and also John you mentioned that Gingrich is kind everything that Tea Party should be against.

And yet.

Conservatives seem to be liking him right now but to -- the most amazing thing to me that the former speaker of the house has managed to somehow portray himself as the outside of it at.

Well -- -- people are buying it.

And and deny that and I don't mean to be critical I mean -- mall for the it's black.

Over the last ten years is companies have made a hundred million dollars playing inside watching that affluent enough but you what it is he's the outsider because everybody talked about how much they could stand him.

It was an outsider because no one wanted in the party and I have is also the rebel.

I don't like easy easy he's showing people like me apple made you know it is he still inside outside yes yes.

It's like when the kids say bad but being mean could you accept -- -- kids and I'm glad you pointed -- happiness for the longest on I had no idea what are you really.

Doubt I'll ever not sure about what the kids are doing -- ask me.

I thought it was an -- Our guard down and now detective for its big audio about it yes that's -- let's -- -- as a giant space -- so he'll be able to tell -- I didn't I didn't.

-- Paul you don't want to start talking about things that are oversized you.

Nice banana republic -- and of the.

-- -- Paul wallet let's get to you Paul now that I he said Gingrich served divorce papers on his wife while she was in the hospital well there -- a couple of competing stories about what exactly happened back then from Gingrich's wife at the time from his daughter but neither one of them says that that's what -- yeah okay well you're wrong in -- around here.

I was there I was.

An orderly at the time there cleaning his bed pan and yet you wanna hear what they actually sent -- a -- -- -- -- -- It saves me a lot of tough but I think he's an outsider because he was so low in the polls for so long and in some weird way to look at it looked upon as sort of this out and out -- but it somehow it helped sisters I mean it's not as -- -- -- thank you look at it compared to know.

You know -- I mean I take your point but the thing is he's been able to portray himself as a watch as an outsider with a vis a vis Washington -- -- said these of the.

Not with regard to Washington -- and he's like the heat.

You couldn't be more of an inside the beltway guy the only agreement this is normal because he's front runners have -- -- -- Jennifer Japan are usually are using new any that they -- he is an outside of Washington.

But its distinctive -- And yes I'm saying an adjustment.

That you know it's I think it's let's I just -- -- just everything my.

-- -- -- -- a Thai and -- you don't understand why the hatred for Romney's greater than it was for McCain is it possible -- conservatives they just don't want a rerun 2008 so that hatred.

Yeah now I totally understand that people have a strong sense -- I agree with them a -- is like Carter we feel like it's 1980 if only we had Ronald Reagan -- my -- -- Ronald Reagan.

Unfortunately Ronald Reagan is on available.

No we have to go with what we have.

We're not a son but I think there's something about Romney event all the architect Gary Johnson -- -- -- -- -- up.

There's something about and maybe it's just -- husband.

And then the results haven't decided yet but -- don't you think.

There's a particular hatred for Romney that it was not for McCain -- -- -- I know I -- -- the people are just afraid of Romney in some of it seems irrational but they'd like Newt because for all of this stuff.

He speaks for conservatives in the way that they would love to hear now and -- why does the Republican Party let that extreme right hijacked the party win with a candidate it's never gonna win and the generally not.

Not kind of like yeah your hijacking my halftime report -- -- -- who I think the problem is not -- idle time out on the camera and I Ukraine.

-- right it's very popular aren't the problem is I don't know people who just.

Who just tape Romney and aren't thinking about electability all right now Romney is the most we serve -- we can Cadillac.

We should point out -- that that poll that had -- -- up by nine points.

Romney actually has a slight lead over new with women which I think proves that it's not the size of the head it's the -- better.

Yeah that's.

Greg you quoted that from that statement by Kane's attorney Lynnwood.

He says -- -- -- -- allegations of private alleged consensual conduct between adults is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public.

Do we agree with the.

I don't know -- I know what -- want think that this is now not -- over sexual harassment claim.

Right this is -- this is now a completely different -- there which I think now.

Would -- -- -- an opposite point that I host that this thing works and I get you there I feel I feel like if if the alleged consensual conduct involved someone who's not your spouse then maybe it is people's business to -- okay.

I just wish it applied to both parties equally yeah that would be nice.

I guess having the same -- say no I'm -- -- -- you gonna Miley Cyrus smokes five.

And makes an awful video.

I'll call you said the revolution won't be televised it'll be auto tuned -- -- search for the revolution will be auto tuned and see how many thousands of did you get.

Yeah yeah yeah they're gonna fit into an -- I don't have then we got to get you a girlfriend.

Okay yeah.

I gotta get you some new writers and if that I.

And he's -- all you have to do is carry -- a copy of the Communist manifesto people will say -- she must be an intellectual I don't think anyone's going around saying -- Miley Cyrus must be an election.

It's not the same is the way that Jessica Simpson was created by quoting the Bible for example.

Good points on.

God and -- second right -- books and I -- up.

A couple more things.

You show that morning Joseph commercial -- yes I did we should point out that given red -- 25 to 54 demographic ratings vs morning -- 25 to 54 of ratings -- people that commercial much more likely to be watching us the.

That's good that's up.

I just lastly on this Sam Brownback staying Greg he's -- a -- to office monitoring social media for mentions of his name why would you do that.

-- Google alerts you have set up.

Yeah I don't have to look -- -- The Googlers tell me when things are happening so I actually don't have to write for them that's probably glad we went all the monster in the country.

Yeah that's the one happening now Paul you were talking about how lame brown backs office was and I I think you actually were making good point and then Greg mentioned a salt -- pork -- and I forgot that.

You said that.

And I -- by the -- Sereno and decency move -- town I've been able to train sets to.

Cook -- don't -- -- that's exactly what you like really yes excellent and how does that have on it.

Spicy salt and pepper and it's well done what more do you need why would you do quartet will not it's inherently -- me.

Now this is even more it's just it's it's just that we need to -- Greg you don't have to finally greatest strength I'd -- Sometimes my buzz I buzz into your building and just in order the food and -- analog 120 -- and I thought that I would do the same thing yes you would that kinda.

Thanks a lot.
