President's -- segment kind of how Glenn Beck has a new book out called being George Washington the indispensable man as you've.
Never seen him -- -- you -- know objectives.
Running at GB TV and Internet network.
And here is from a swanky studios in Manhattan where he's mr.
relax looks like a little bit like Art Linkletter in younger time.
It's all.
Art Linkletter of those I mean -- today's of the -- are so -- With the kids -- and I think the I'm happy to see you -- your goatee because well look like one -- the Occupy Wall Street people -- now -- cleaned up a little -- no no not at all I didn't shower though -- I'm glad I'm not the same studio with him because I know about it.
If I -- -- politics first terming came psyches through.
Are you following the Republican race do you care about it.
Yeah I do I mean I think you know.
Politics that with the problems that our country and I can be fixed by politics but politics are important.
And we have to do the you know we have to do the right thing angry looks like Herman Cain is is through.
You know.
I I don't we seem to be having the battle of the the big government Republicans right now.
You know I I what do you mean -- that the big government Republicans what was that me I think you have Mitt Romney who is a big government Republican and you have Newt Gingrich who is a big government Republican.
-- -- mean they -- we keep the apparatus that's in place they wouldn't try to do is yet anyway remember Ron Paul would you remember that well not I just dropped the ball.
-- I'm Iran Paulus is close to a no government.
Republican.
You know you you do have.
Rick Santorum and the -- person I would vote for us is Michelle Bachmann.
That but you know you you've got these progressives that are on the Republican side as well let's let's let's not.
Little let's not forget that the progressive party was started by a Republican theater Roosevelt John McCain's.
-- President yet but a would have had a different meaning back when Teddy Roosevelt was with Ryan then has now the progressive movement -- taken over from the Noam Chomsky disabilities people let's where -- now they're going.
No no no no no.
-- the Noam Chomsky have been folded into its and they have been -- did -- either co opted the progressives of the progressives have -- the -- they've always been buddy buddy with the Marxist.
The -- is is that the the split with Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt.
Was that.
The Republicans were more.
Nationalists as opposed to internationalists.
And today he believed in using military power where the Democrats did not okay that's -- Let's -- it up let's bring it up now I agree with you that that Romney and Gingrich are are not gonna do smell -- federal government as it is now.
But I don't think Michelle Bachman was gonna do that either but on the subject of the congresswoman.
Why do you think her campaign hasn't really lifted.
New Rick Perry came in and then our numbers dropped exponentially right after that but then Perry went down as well and she never really recovered.
-- you know what I can't tell you I can tell you why Michelle Bachmann isn't time connecting with the American people I just know that I met with all of them.
And I have Newt Gingrich on on the air in what two days from now.
And I have some you know fair questions for him.
And I I'm anxious to hear what he has to say.
But.
You know in listening to all of them and really.
I you know I'm not friends with any of them but I know all of them there's really only two of them that I think and really fall into the Abraham Lincoln or George Washington character category.
And that would be Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann.
And after talking to all of them I think Michelle Bachmann is just the the the best choice out I mean I think -- certainly it's you know we should respect everybody's choices but it's not gonna happen for the congresswoman.
It's all if -- you know what that's the one thing that I don't that.
I don't care about with politics I'm so tired of of picking somebody.
That -- everybody says we have to pick.
I thought I got a better idea feel what you do and -- absolutely should -- -- on their conscience right but if if a guy like Mitt Romney gets the nomination can you Glenn -- support that yes.
Okay it's akin all right we'll be thrilled to hear that in -- I don't know you real now and we'll gonna share on hold back over his he's begged me.
And we're gonna discuss George Washington and I have to tell you I -- books today and I like it and I'm gonna tell you -- I like it but I think he stole.
His book from my book so -- gonna.
