I guess this demonic.

Crowley.

She is a contributor for the Fox News Channel.

And it's been a regular panelist on the McLaughlin group.

-- -- of what they gave me a problem doing this right yes it's nice to meet you how -- our eyes for the well when I first Mickey was when your first book came out.

I think that's when we first met almighty does afford -- Fox News let's not data ourselves here comes.

-- and liquid that led to -- You pretty upset that -- -- your sister I love that she married her sister you make her very happy that's all I care about not ready to thank you -- -- you're totally misguided and misguided look at this book he had been reviewed this this is that my kids exploding good at that do you sometimes my -- I agree that it -- but it's -- just happened.

And then if you're really responsibility.

And actually -- your radio show I have -- Groenenberg.

Radio first as a result of that.

And you get the nice endorsement Sarah Palin hasn't talked to me.

And did it the very -- Rudy Giuliani.

So.

Would you agree this is -- Obama bashing book.

No I would not I am it is a truth telling block and one of the reasons I wrote it Allen is because if you just listen to the lame stream media -- CNN -- Fox News this.

If you didn't turned into our conservative talk radio.

You're only getting one citing you're still only getting one side of the Obama story like this and not your fashion Obama in this book no I'm telling pollsters.

Any socialist a big fat liar a strange hologram of a man this is not.

A -- this is anti Obama look at let's admit that's what this and like I said -- it is a truth telling.

Block and it's about time somebody told the tour money doesn't -- brought him -- telling book and you give your opinion beautifully your great writer thank you very you're very good writer.

But I haven't persuaded you -- oh I don't think so.

But when you when you when you have a section titled the skinny -- is a big fat liar out and you -- -- -- strange hologram of man which is a personal attack.

UK and there's -- some of them.

And they -- -- -- Clinton can defend myself here because you've just said their personal attacks absolutely not I.

I actually -- very proud of that turn a phrase strange hologram of the man this the guy.

Who has created out of thin air out of whole cloth his entire narrative it's not Monica are you saying this guy has -- he's made up his own story.

He has admitted in the past to creating girlfriend's creating whole -- -- of his of his life story.

That better just made and did -- not quite as got to compare competing welcome by part of their Barack Obama out there you this week also this is a Washington Scott says the exact same but what I -- -- -- -- -- and raise a complete line.

He's -- he has lied about a lot of things let me just address because you raised.

The title of my second section in the book it's called the skinny socialist is big fat there Lessig got -- -- number one is he skinny.

All right yes he is the OK I guess to answer right -- -- so I'm -- I'm actually I'm -- accurate to that point I the united -- -- ballistic expert socialist yet now that this is a guy let me break it down for -- and -- slowly -- and understand yeah I want you to get clear on as a guy.

But his parents were Communists.

His loyalists separate his use it uses it on an editor at -- fear it's -- this is upon this on this and I thought let me complete and I thought it and then you cannot pound -- -- oblivion if you and I.

But his parents were Communists his ideological father and mentor.

Was one of the most prominent Communists of the 1950s Frank Marshall Davis who was pursued and investigated by.

FBI for many decades.

Then -- goes on and he admits in his own our words that he sought out Marxist and Communist and socialist professors when he was in college.

Later in life he surrounds himself with anti American radicals that are so about Communists like Van Jones like -- has that.

-- and let me just -- -- two other -- poised to back up the socialist thing.

An -- when he ten Al Sharpton give it up for the -- now.

How -- -- win on MSNBC and said quotes and these are his words not mine.

There is no doubt that the American people overwhelmingly.

Voted for socialism.

When they elected.

I'm glad you finally referencing Al Sharpton is a month.

Who is the yardstick to announce well victory in the do you believe I don't ever gotten Al Sharpton is inform any of Rhode -- left -- -- -- it violates the code and everything I'm a little -- go to X venture all right let's go let's go over to -- -- you're playing like a McCarthy I theme of guilt by association.

That's what you're doing we have the -- look -- is associated where he went -- -- house for -- wants -- -- Bill -- now Joan -- is not a Communist at this point who -- so does that -- and by the -- this -- the game of guilt by association the president's been in the White House for almost four years he has not instituted any Communist policies -- -- -- radical kinds of transformation you are claiming.

That he is doing hasn't done.

Can -- back of my argument you're okay so my last point about backing up the -- socialist.

And I used that word not in the economic technical sense of socialism but I used -- that shorthand for government directed -- distribution has.

And my final point after citing Al Sharpton saying that many American people overwhelmingly voted for socialism is the way he is governed over the last 33 and a half years.

And what he has done.

In his -- -- he he set out to fundamentally transformed the country.

What he did was go about attacking the four basic pillars of the US economy.

The industrial base the financial sector the health care sector.

And the energy sector -- -- He -- mindless and energy.

By reforming health -- which he was voted to do their money into green energy boondoggles like a snow drag -- mosque he told a billion dollar Solyndra a -- nor the dozens of other companies who were successful.

That he invests -- so many of these green energy sector companies have gone under completely -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ended peak insulin -- and Republicans voted for the program.

That actually gave money to these programs and you -- like I -- back -- the day and you know what they were wrong to do that because the question is should the government be involved in any answers yes because without it doesn't.

Without the -- we didn't have the Internet we wouldn't have a number of things we have today.

Without government investment in all kinds of things we would not have a W government invest yes that that is social engineering and that's taxpayer money being -- -- industries if these industries can not make it and compete in the free market on their own.

Then they will either but that winner weigh in if they can succeed the naval survival and in -- -- Or get -- will go to the government tax breaks -- good -- industry the loopholes -- Republicans don't want to close as a result of that they have all these profits because of the government -- -- upon them because -- -- actually I totally against corporate library but this is what Republicans you're going on Obama like it's all his fault we have decades of this stuff the Republicans have supported and it's all Obama's -- let me just make one thing clear in the book what the -- just happens thanks for the.

Light Alan how somebody I -- I think it's clear that Republicans for a long time have gone down that road and you're absolutely right about that the -- a big government big spending.

And they ought to be called out on it and by the way but you know kind of an innocent as you look like you're just calling at a mall owner no that's not true clearly you didn't read -- that -- they just -- you know -- -- I didn't get -- lot of -- got me that I thought my -- -- again.

-- -- ever.

I'm gonna -- -- about finally got this yesterday are like well whatever you're forgiven but -- but I do go after the Republicans for having done this for so many decades the problem as well let me make two quick points.

The problem with the Republican Party over so many years in going down as big government road.

Is that they lost their way instantly started losing elections and the -- the Tea Party a couple of years ago.

Initially did not have to do with Barack Obama in the incredible out of control spending he Ian and his fellow Kooks have to -- -- -- -- with a name called it actually the Tea Party came about because Republican Party wasn't doing its job and it wasn't sticking to his principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility that's what you -- Tea Party.

But what's happened over the last three and a half years -- been an incredible explosion.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Two points number one George W.

Bush in 2001 and 2003.

Signs to waves of tax cuts.

In tomorrow with bipartisan support in the congress which was a -- -- sunset at about that led to 54 consecutive months of job creation and economic growth.

Before the financial crisis kicked and a financial crisis is different than in economic crisis so if you want to talk about failed policies and you want to refer to the financial crisis.

What got us into that problem was the social engineering going back to -- community reinvest now.

-- the -- your investment that we've supported by both Republicans and Democrats and promoted by George W.

Bush and the fact that Barack Obama inherited a month.

Month to month losses of 750000.

Jobs a month which he -- now we've had 21 months and roll out of Calgary is it has really older us Obama's OK see you have a financial crisis that was created by leftist social engineering -- for many -- what created it yes -- -- -- Republicans did it to elitist is that he doesn't know I'm not a Republican leader does.

-- -- minute ago I was tough on that point I was talking about Republicans in congress and across the country going down this big government big spending -- When you talk about the roots of financial crisis that was leftist social engineering -- housing sector.

What they did with the community reinvestment act signed into law by Jimmy Carter expanded by bill and Hillary Clinton.

Was all about and supported by George W guns to banks' heads and making them.

Do loans to people and no job no money in Nowak and it -- George -- -- I say not allow gridiron arrest and was supported voted and enhanced when your children.

Coaches -- go out there spend the money anybody can buy a home that's the kind of opportunities I think you limit President Bush to President Bush.

He you're right about that and the first part of his first term.

However when he started to see Fannie Mae Freddie Mac in the GSA's starting to collapse.

He's since his first two treasury or maybe three treasury secretary of three -- -- -- To even tell Manila over many years to plead with the congress guys like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd were supposed to be overseeing this stuff.

Begging them to do reform because he saw the crisis over the coming -- -- lack of regulation promoted by big like Phil -- the -- -- it was the Democrats -- refuse to seat crisis Barney Frank a couple weeks before the collapse is gone.

These entities are just finite invest another.

You had.

Phil Gramm and his Republican cohorts looking to deregulate deregulate deregulate.

Lack of oversight which Obama change when he reform Wall Street and came in and actually installed oversight which previously did not exist.

That I'd say oversexed country didn't exist because Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who recognize the Democrats in congress who were supposed to be doing your oversight checked out and they were protecting their socialist and no worries Republicans protecting their Wall Street big money people in the corporations they never -- a corporation -- big money I'd been in -- that's interesting seeing as Barack Obama I got more Wall Street money in 2000 -- Republican candidate -- -- did get good Wall Street money in -- but he also had -- the guts where the -- -- To stand up and reform Wall Street.

To the very people that gave him that money so he -- that money did not buy influence from the people who gave him the money obviously reforming Wall Street has basically crushed Wall Street that's why Mitt Romney's getting -- -- -- money out of the Dow doing.

When Obama took office and what's the Dow doing now the Dow has grown.

Over a 1002004.

When I'm talking about what are you my hunch I'm talking about the financial sector there are so many regulations now they cannot move.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Let's -- -- this -- -- an -- at you you obviously didn't hear things that I say -- it -- my doubt on it and they're all left wing policy at all I think it's left -- it's all.

How prevalent when you know what when you -- Allen at every single out problem in crisis we have an American can Albie are routed back in his left -- not exactly the opposite debt.

Did we're -- government to public education in the teachers' unions all of on my -- would take a quick.
