I'm back Doug shone with impacted going to probably -- John I'd like to start with.
A comment.
From one of our loyal viewers.
Charles -- who says I get really tired of hearing the excuses.
That have caused this economic mess from the Obama administration.
And what really gets under my skin is the fact that mr.
Obama continues to make an attack.
On the free market.
Principles.
Especially with his new -- going after -- for what he did -- thing capital basically why is Obama people to use the free market.
As whipping boy against.
Romney when.
According to mr.
-- His own free market principles.
For commitment is up -- on how you react to that.
Well I think that is the strong perception about Obama that he is anti free enterprise and you've heard the charge from Manning that -- -- socialist.
Do you think it is not I think he's anything that furthers his own agenda and his joint operating -- and I think he's I think he's surrounded by people who are.
Let's put its release European socialist model -- did -- number her.
But look you know the and there are a lot of openings he's opened today let's just take Chrysler.
Look at the -- hundreds of thousands tens of thousands of people over laid off because they closed dealerships and didn't wanna be close and by the way you know how they chose the political era in that -- -- -- Republicans and here's another idea about free enterprise.
Here's a man who kills a pipeline.
-- upon the Republicans make this -- and by the way look at here not only cylinders lenders to tip of the iceberg.
But giving all of this mean Green money a week to -- worse for him the corruption of the Obama administration.
Is a powerful issue for the Republicans but they can't areas where -- but you'll wind.
Because because I've tested very powerful but the problem is because -- Republican establishment it's only interest is to get -- goes back in the trough of corruption.
-- back to your point dog with this country desperately needs is an alternative points.
Well we didn't get it this year and that's the thing that -- I am.
We have already learned some comments speaking of an alternative.
Place gentlemen.
Again from Charles Reece -- and put some other.
Viewers.
Ron Paul has every intention of getting his message out about.
Freedom that is message hasn't really resonated because he's been in Washington for such a long time.
And -- David Larson says I think he is pushing.
The size and scope of government and the Fed up to the front does that make sense to.
-- pot isn't what if you have a candidacy that could grasp it yet.
Because there is real appeal in in what is the cronyism of Washington.
What the Fed does -- let me just give an example five -- running a campaign ended and I had some campaign Iraq.
Not that anyone would do to happen.
You know if you look at what the Fed is done which had a you know -- -- Republican candidates.
Don't wanna do this -- that's that's hyperbole.
But the the pretty disappointed but not an accurate but you have -- -- get back there in the what you have views.
The bailing out the banks the Fed printing money and you know -- it who pays the price senior citizens people on fixed incomes because they get nothing for there.
For their for their what their savings well you know what you wanna talk about a populist -- -- -- in a positive sense we start our position -- -- Which is ordinary people -- paying the price for the corruption in Washington.
Naked populism doesn't work populism miserable four point those war.
The thing the thing I'm just running down all the things it came up during the campaign some from Ron all the things you mentioned from Newt Gingrich.
If we had had a candidate this year that encompass.
Various themes that each campaign brought up the Fed.
Anti bailouts.
Anti media.
Anti establishment in general anti military intervention all -- you had all that -- up into the right god.
You want to Donald Trump that he encompassed a lot of that.
He does a little law you know what what but whatever you've raised issues no one else is ready and he got a lot of reaction from a and he helped Romney but voters he couldn't reach but -- look we have here.
I think -- a situation which goes to dog's point.
A great mass of the American people have no what you don't like either party and it only were you getting this from Ted Yost who has a question for you -- specific.
But before we get to that -- says the phone.
To two parties.
I have nothing but you're talking points there's hardly a lick of difference between them you know it I know.
That is why you see these stupid things like Romney's pre school record becoming an issue.
Mr.
canal yes I I think that's true this is because.
You're not allowed to discuss what is it's the elephant in the room pardon the expression of an -- politically.
But it is the elephant in the room which is a country -- satisfied with the political establishment and both political parties which doesn't think ideologically left or right.
As I like disabled we need is a party that doesn't speak Democrat Republican speaks American.
That would have -- real appeal but consistently shut down the ability for that to happen in -- -- over the frustration we see in Europe questions how would you gonna get ten.
Little -- -- it doesn't just give us an update is better -- there is there -- is -- can't but he's not gonna run for Americans elect is there a candidate for America's -- at this point when will they have wanted this.
Point there is not the -- there's.
A process that is just now ending.
For the convention.
They'll be an announcement by the -- this week about next steps but as we sit here today -- direct answer your question John is there is no.
Candidate let me go one other comment from the LS.
Senior.
The bigger government gets.
The harder it is to figure out what it does.
The easier it is for government to line.
Now you know the reason.
We keep voting the way we do.
Hopefully they'll listen.
Well the way I think the reason they can -- is because of this kind of thing up because there's no check on -- -- -- close look let me say by the press abandon its role.
Which is to protect -- people from government and government power.
To be equally hard on everyone there.
-- decides to join up from one side or the other day we -- freedom in America and they and they really hurt the whole country and that's what's happening but the other point is.
What we know from Gallup that this becomes a referendum is government too big or too small it's gonna be a landslide for being too big right.
To that -- Here's the question.
From the studios.
Do you.
-- Did you happen to check to see if there was any truth to.
The report that a Spanish company doing the vote -- been -- for the US national election.
Has been engaged to do that -- that it is -- Soros.
Controlled or Soros I haven't got an up -- -- about my understanding is season and restaurant and and it's very involved in many of the places.
Which are used for vote counting and this raises a problem because.
In the electronic cages we find with Twitter and everything else.
Mean -- did the danger of how to manipulate.
Voting machines electronic machines now is so much greater than the old days when you had the old.
You know Michael ever one of the emails that dugout after last -- -- I'm not sure we also have the Ohio what we're by the way -- levels what I'm all tied ball I was all forty George Bush went right -- -- you should have no one has I don't know about any form for.
There he appeared he's voting machines they should really be supervised and have absolutely no contact with anybody nobody should be able to be any team up.
Artisan guy but I I think I think in this charge was that that it's -- Spanish company that Soros owns a big share of has bought this thing called SOT.
Which is involved in the vote counting in Florida.
If there's any chance -- the governor of Florida and -- every election should check -- -- intervene there's where my favorite part our program.
Which is predictions and I'll start.
With the prerogative of the host.
-- my prediction is that with the drop which is slight.
But clear in both approval rating and -- share for the president.
That the media is gonna change their narrative in the next week or so to an inevitable Obama.
Victory to a sinking Obama candidacy.
And now the fact that Mitt Romney is likely likely to move into the lead and I think the entire narrative of the campaign.
Will change -- and then building on your prediction there's every action has an equal and opposite reaction and I think in the Romney campaign and sort of -- I think there's a sense of of overconfidence.
That they have this thing now they don't have to do any thing they're gonna sit there that they're gonna win this thing based on events out of their control.
My prediction news is that is that we've said reported going to bolster your points where it -- jump ball situation this is a chance for both campaigns.
We are in a race to define the structure of the selection before the Olympics in July.
That's why the Obama campaign is attacking Romney Romney has been relatively campaign I think relatively passive waiting for -- you're saying.
Politics does not favor caution there to be cautious is probably run -- campaign.
And then I think to this question now is can the Obama campaign quite an Arab press will be -- what you should go overwhelmingly the -- way.
As they did but question is can either of these campaigns get a message.
That works with a vision for the voters and I'll answer that as part of our conclusion if you guys have concluding remarks please.
My sense is that neither campaigns and how about -- want to.
-- because they're run by people who -- little -- a little worlds where they're more interest in a one -- each other and playing you know.
And playing I got you with with the other team that they are in thinking in broader strategic.
Strong you know what else because he's polls that we've put up there are so close.
They're both playing it cautious they don't they think they don't need to do want to thank.
Attacked the other guys sit tight things are gonna go well let let me conclude by saying a couple things first.
Thanks very much I think we've hit today on a number of provocative.
Issues and as always we welcome your tweets your comments.
And the like will be back here next.
Monday at 10:30 AM and next Sunday that.
525.
