president underwood, we have to do something about these republicans. i m tired of them. it s all cutting taxes. they never think about the little people. oh oh. excellent. i m going to skip one and ask this for greg do you have a ritual before the show? well i have two rituals but one i can t talk about. that s what i was hoping for. kids. i ll be i ll be seeing you. i have a cracker and some water and then i do are you in prison? i do a ritual dance. ten jumping jacks? yes. ahead, greg is going to talk about his new show. he did a push-up challenge on the today show. did you make it off the ground? stay tuned.
regardless of party has their goals. every president we have seen for decades uses and issues executive orders. the similarities stop there and the reason for these characters pushing forward stops there as well. tony what do you make of it? i think the producers of house of cards had to look at what was going on in real life and said, frank should do that. tons of drama in the building behind me. inspiring a lot of storylines. the only thing different in house of cards that shows how things should work is the republicans and democrats in the congress came together and opposed president underwood s program because it was a unilateral overreach of executive objection. none of these guys in the built have ever stopped president obama whether it s the overreach on immigration refor environmental protection agency regular regulations, obamacare,
proopponent of entitlement reforms for years. but where frank does himself a disservice is to suggest that people aren t entitled to anything. people pay into social security. i don t think he said they weren t entitled to anything. one of the big things was that we should tell the american people the truth. will that ever happen? in all fairness, frank underwood said imagine what would happen if we actually started telling the truth. my point being that, look, it s very clever, he s ees s a shrewd politician, they overexaggerate the kind of back channel tactics and i wish we would get to a point in our government where s transparency. the aspect that this show shows us that i wish we had in reality, that actually people oppose the president when he does something stupid in a bipartisan way. will we ever have politicians
securing entitlements and preserving them for future general rations, that s been stymied by don t forget it was the simpson bowls commission- commission entitlements represent 2/3 of our federal budget, where the money is to cut them back in a way that preserves them for future generations. so in that respect i think it was a good idea. what a clever focus group by the way, to obviously get people to know this through the house of cards and accept it more. i know you re not going to like the entitlement idea or are you? frank underwood has great ideas but his ideas won t become manifest because they re absurd farces. in terms of entitlement, i actually have been a huge
every level. kevin spacey plays the president. of course the show is fictitious, but it attempts to showcase reel life policies and preliminary events happening today. so it made me think the other night watching, could some of president underwood s ideas ever happen in real life? should they? he takes on entitlements,al telling the people again, entitlements are killing the nation, you are entitled to nothing, no handouts. so i know you guys both watch the show as well. should the fictitious things that are happening this season, like getting rid of entitlements and telling the american people the truth should that be happening in real life s?
