never testified, they just voted it out of committee. honestly, it s an insane process. this reminds me of something that is interesting, so you had, in first attempts, jimmy carter came in as an outsider. and didn t listen to tip o neal, and he had problems with congress from day one. bill clinton came in as an outsider and said, i m going to roll pat monahan. there were some of those things and he found out. barack obama said, i m going to put rahm emanuel in charge and get a member of congress because i don t want to create the same problems with my own party in congress. realizing he had it. now, that may have caused him problems with independents that he went along too much with congress, but there s a lesson in there. he s surrounded by south sou. he have no governmental experience. but the republican conference itself has been fractured before. they drove boehner out. what is boehner doing right now. making money. laughing or crying or both? he s having a great life.
all all that s mine. kimberly: yeah [ laughter ] . juan: why saint patrick? kimberly: because it s his day, he s the big honor ray. dana: he would probably pop out the red wine, too. greg: he might not have been a drinker. he s like why are people throwing up on third avenue? this is not what i wanted. kimberly: i would cheer i am with a nice club soda with a lime, which is green. juan: who was the guy in my three sons? greg: fred mcmurray? juan: how about car 54? you never know. tip o neal and ronald reagan. they started the eye rish lunch in dc. kimberly: i was thinking about them. eric: i don t know. maybe a philosopher. do i have to speak the language? greg: you could have a translator. eric: aristotle, plato.
he would die for this country. i love him to death. [ applause ] that s a very nice note to end on. do you want to say one more thing? yeah. i just wanted to say that we talked about some very tough issues tonight. and i still believe in america. i still believe we re the greatest nation on earth. i still believe that we have the best military and by far we re still a shining city on a hill as ronald reagan called us. and if there s one thing i would urge all of our friends on both sides of the aisle to look at ronald reagan and tip o neal. look at a time when republicans and democrats sat down together for the good of the nation. it s not an accident that we
wants to be known as. we wants to be understood as the elder statesman. we tell me about that. i want to thing for him years ago up to delaware, a town meeting. they love him up there. he is sort of a classic neil he never been able to come into the national state the way ruth says he wants to do. he is a lot like tip o neal. somebody who is kwen at the sennal politician. is just the sort of old school back slapping, fun loving political guy everybody like to
vote? tip o neal. everybody likes to be asked. you told me stories about ted kennedy, and he was the safest senator in all of the senator, and you would be driving with neighborhoods, and he would stop and ask if they could put a yard sign in, and he would see one crooked and get out and straighten it out, i need your vote. it was iowa why he won iowa. there s no magic. it s always insulting. the guys that make it look easy and the women that make it look easy actually are the geniuses, because it s actually harder to make it look easy. it s like watching tiger woods. yeah, looks easy. reagan made it look easy. it was not easy. reagan was working on that speech for 40 years, and barack
