The bottom line is these are all folks that vote with me, they have supported my agenda in congress, they are on the right side of minimum wage, theyre on the right side of rebuilding our infrastructure, theyre on the right side of Early Childhood education. This isnt about my feelings being hurt, these are folks who are strong allies achy ies and s of me. I tell them, you know what . You do what you need to win, i will be responsible for making sure that our voters turn out. Hes basically telling them, lie now so they can win the election. Greg, any surprises here . You know its bad when you go to al sharpton to help build your reputation, thats like going to Chris Matthews for advice on sanity. Its just strange bedfellows, if youre a child, you dont keep a balloon if its out of helium, you dont drag it behind you. And the president is like that kid with a deflated balloon. Theyre not putting obama out in the front, theyre putting him in the back. Are you surprised he basically admitted, he spoke the words that were all suspecting, they really dont want president obama around, they dont want his policy attached to what theyre going. But once they get elected, theyre going to vote that way. I think the president spoke the truth. This is the truth. Three weeks ago, when he said, david axelrod, one of his former political advisors said that was a big mistake, the president shouldnt have said that, i said, well the president s just being honest. So the president goes on with al sharpton and hes just honest. Because the democrats have spent fen s tens of millions of ds on ads saying they are not obama democrats. They will fall in to lock step on november 4 and thigh will support him. I know its shocking, joe, the last three president s in six years, president s clinton, bush and obama, they all had bad polls and they the people that go against the democrats on obama policy are set. Look at the undecided numbers. There are no more voters to get. The only issue here is there a way to get out the democratic base. I dont see it, but thats what he said, hes exactly right. Alaska, arkansas, iowa, kansas, colorado, georgia, maybe this will swing a couple of the undecideds into the republican camp knowing that if you vote for his democrats, youre not sure what youre going to get, are you going to get the guy you see on tv or are you going to get president obamas policies. I like the fact that hes being honest, this is who we know he is, this is what bob would do, he would tell them cash it in on election day and go back to your true self after its done and everything will be forgiven. What a horrible person i am. Of course were going to play politics, we want to win at any cost. Do you think a Statement Like that actually helps the democrats . In the minority community, they actually like him. Why would you try to hurt the red state democrats. Its the red state democrats, the ones we were talking about. The people in the south are heavily backed by turnout. Whether its louisiana, going down the list, thats all black turnout, thats what makes the difference. That doesnt necessarily help the turnout. I think its worried about it. The majority of americans femaling things are getting worse under president obamas watch. What could possibly motivate someone to vote democratic, mr. Bill oreilly has a few thoughts. If a whopping 54 of america think thinks the answer is emotion. Democrats have been very successful in convincing some voters that the Republican Party favors the rich and is antiwoman. The Republican Party has not been able to put forth a leader to refute those allegations effectively. K. G. . Hes right because there hasnt been nisomeone what has come forward and said this is why you need to vote democrat. Instead you have people just voting on emotion, out of fear, out of listening to Debbie Wassermanschultz saying republicans are out of here. Looking at it from a Political Campaign standpoint. Its just what you do. And republicans do it too. And right now, whos ever on the side two weeks out, half of them wont vote, so now youre looking at a very small number of undecided voters. If you had a 5 or of inundecidd voters. Is it all about emotion . I think you could probably make that case as well, as a matter of fact for president obamas first election in 2008, the country was just swept up in a fervor and voit felt good to vote for him. If you are a partisan voter, you show up at the midterms. Thats what theyre trying to find to try to get out on both sides, but i also think that peoplesome some ways vote out of a sense of survival. So the democrats have tried to paint this as a disaster, if president obama doesnt have a democratic majority of the senate going forward. And the republicans have said if the president doesnt have a republican or a democrat majority. Greg, weigh in on this. You can take it where you want. But were two weeks out. If we havent stood up enough emotion for the democrats, it looks like the republicans are going to take it. Whats the emotions going change you dont go to a restaurant because the chef is emotional. You got to the restaurant because the chef is a great chef, not because he makes you feel passion, thats a bunch of garbage. Its happened in the past four decades where we have had a movm towards feeling over fact, grievance over grit, it used to be what you did, not how you feel. The Democratic Party has become a mosaic of feeling fascist, you hate the truth because it hurts. I just wanting to tell you that the typical turnout in a president s offyear, 10 million voted in the off year elections. Email josh ernest and tell him were still doing the show. We brought research. Democrats are going to follow president obamas successful 2012 script by waginging a war on women. Theres only one problem, voters arent buying it anymore. Jeremy peters tells how its affecting one big race. Its not nearly as sizable anded a van stage you has it once was. We have mark udall whos making it about reproductive rights. Now thats shrunk to about nine points. And of course it backfired. Hes not the only journalist pointing out that dems are losing the battle. Heres a comment by tena brown. Particularly for women, i dont think he makes them feel safe. He made them unsafe economically, unsafe with regard to isis, unsafe about ebola. What im upset about is the government response to different crises. You want to take this one . Colorado, you see the voting. The number one issue for women across the board has always been the polls have told us, its jobs and the economy and that hasnt changed. But what tena brown is talking about is more recent events in terms of security, its not just Economic Security but your National Security and you worry about your children and your grandchildren. I think a key difference of last years election cycle isou had the two big mistakes by Senate Republican candidates bringing up rape and Birth Control, and thats the october surprise that will make it look like Birth Control was the most important issue to voters and democrats played that very well. This year that has not happened bu because candidates are smarter. They are running out of time before midterms. People have misinterpreted this. Married women vote republican. Single women vote heavily democrat. Thats where the democrat comes from. True. I know. But the question now is, they generally say the democrats wvo feel safer with democrats. So drum up a war on women, make it look like the other side has a war on women but its not working out. We just quoted two people who know nothing about politics. With age comes wisdom and its a known fact that the older you get the more conservative you get. And you dont have to tell young people, dont wait to become conservative. A lot of people have caught on to the big joke, which seems to be even more sexist to assume that women cannot take care of themselves because theyre women, and therefore need the government to take care of them. But when youre young like that, its the same reason why young women on juries, they dont get it, kids, communities, crime, education, health care, theyre healthy and hot and running around without a care in the world. They have every right in the world. I just thank and excuse them so they can go back on match. Com. What will all this mean in the conservative political commentator markste stein says winning two weeks from now would be great but it will nothing if women dont wage a cultural war the rest of the year. Election day is win day of the year and the culture is the other 364 days of the year, so if youre not out there competing in the schools, competing in the pop culture, competing in the media, competing in the main line churches, then the air that we breathe becomes liberal. Thats the default setting of society. And whoever gets elected on a Tuesday Morning in november, doesnt actually makes that much different. Stein makes a lot of sense here, the other 364 to win the culture war. First of all i think mark stein is a brilliant guy and we have two people who it used to mean the culture war was generally run by the christian coalition, they made a big mark on that, im not sure what it means anymore. I agree with you, i would have loved a followup question, because i think mark has a great point, but i want to know what does he mean by that . Does he is he talking about a dependency culture of identification, sexual identity, as opposed to patriotism and achievement . Is that what hes talking about . Because when you hear culture war, you think about something completely different. I said maybe he means what which were just talking about a few minutes ago. Maybe it means a mentality of young people. But this feeling that you a minority, you had some kind of compromised opportunity, therefor you deserve more. Mark, if youre watching, call the control room. Think about, every novel that i read, i would say 99 of the novels i read have some sort of shot against a republican or conservative idea. So in some ways, you could take that part, novels and books are important to me, i read right past that stuff, i dont let it bother me, but it does seep into culture over time. If you look at any womens magazine, that is lost, it is just full bore liberal talking points. The most important thing and i will say this until im blue in my face, its one thing to be right, but its more important to be persuasively right, to articulate a point with humor, with wit, with charm. For the most part republicans arent as good at doing it as democrats have been. The problem is, without compromise, youre not going to get anything done and its a congress that did nothing, and the president did nothing, the next two years, without some kind of compromise. Youre not the party of know or just saying youre against something. Some of the best legislation happened when one party controlled the white house and one controlled congress, because theyre forced to compromise. The last two years with the republican senate. Hes going to have to worry about that. Dont forget, hes got his pen. And a phone. What are your media habits . What do they say about your politics and vice versa . Coming riling up. A single ember that escapes from a wildfire can travel more than a mile. That single ember can ignite and destroy your home or even your community you cant control where that ember will land only what happens when it does get fire adapted now at fireadapted. Org a new study on polarize zpags finds that when it comes to consuming news, the left and right prefer to eat separately. They found that cons get their info from fnc while libs get theirs from the and that proves key point. Liberals feed from a variety of outlets because that variety is decidedly liberal. In fact 28 of the 36 most news sources of news are favored by liberals, is parking themselves at the buffet says nothing about open mindedness, it just says most of the media meets their asu assumpti assumptions, dozens of different items are on the menu. The survey also shows that the right expresses greater distrust of most news, except for fox news, suggesting perhaps that maybe we are the polarizers, ive the most people are les likely to trust that theyre fair and balanced, since fnc is the only store sells that stuff, they come to us. So as researchers desperately try to dissect fncs success like its an alien autopsy, we know i why it works because its an honest portrayal. We know its a vailed la meant for to the good old days when lock step was the only method of traveling. Bob, you love polls, some say too much. What did you make from this study . Theres a lot of interesting stuff there. Its a very, very good theyre Getting Better and better. And a few are independent. Theyre not one way or another. But heres the thing, it follows the course of what you see in the census data, the conservatives are living together in the same areas. Its polarization not just in politics, but the news sources, when i hear republicans complain got this, and i understand that, but you know, thats just the way it is, you cant shut them down, so what do you do . I think you open more right wing this has been around a long time, the republicans have not learned how to manage that fact. I always explain, did you hear any complaints . All the time. As far as the study goes, greg miles aint points out. You need a burger, you go to the burger joint, you go to the tofu. Complaining about this media blast. President obama complains about fox news all the time. All the other Media Outlets support his world view, that actually is the question is, just because you assume that theyre liberal and they dont support republicans dont make their case very well. No, i dont think thats the case. What about this, eric. This is funny, liberals are more likely to drop a friend on face book. Theres a small percentage of both, but they do it much more. Are you saying that conservatives are loyal . Theyre move tolerant. Like loyal to friends. I dont like what you said, but im not going to drop you yet. I drop a lot of things very quickly, buzz feed at the very bottom of that list. Least trusted, with all the cat videos. Dont blame it on the cat videos. Im sorry, wall street journal near the very fop. Hats off to our sister group over there at wsj. You say tolerant for republicans . A lot of us havent heard that. But a lot of their friends are democrats. Liberals, obviously, listen, youve got people its very popular to be against republicans, dont be a republicans friend, defriend them on facebook. Go out and get yourself some Media Outlets. Im tired of hearing it. Before fox news, there wasnt any. If it werent for fox news, it would be complete group think with the main stream media. Thats what it would be. Who else is like us . Who tells the whole story . One thing about fox, you admit thatyoure living it. You have a very loud vocal opinion. There is no conservative voice like your liberal voice is here. No conservative voice. And theyre unequaled. And it also occurs on most fox shows. We also have liberal at this network, that are employees here that are liberals. I also tell them all, dont look me in the eye, especially that skinny guy that used to be with hannity, i cant think of his name. Yes, it drives me crazy. I had the situation a month ago where an old friend emailed me and said youre turning into the crazy people on facebook. I realized that he was just upset that i disagreed with him on his aasumpation so he jumped me. Once youre affiliated with fox it might also be, bob, i think Michael Barone has written a lot about this, people tending to move where theyll get along better with people, they share a world view, if you want a better state government, you might leave michigan for texas. But you like what you like. Your home state whats wrong with liking what you like or wanting to be around people who you like . I would rather live with liberals. I dont want to be around anybody. Bob, what . Do you have more liberal friends or conservative friends . Like true friends . Conservative. Consider most situations. I love conservatives. I just dont love what theyre paying for it. If you want to get paid without having to show up for work, we have just the job for you, stay tuned. While Many American workers in the private sector are struggling, tens of thousands of government workers are getting paid to do nothing. You heard that right, a stunning new gao report found that from 2010 to 2013, more than 57,000 government workers were put on paid leave for months. Sometimes even years, all while they waited to be punished for misbehavior. The cost to taxpayers, a cool 775 million just for their salary alone. Is anybody irritated . I know bob is not. Greg, do you have a thought on this . I read some interesting stuff. One of the guys got paid leave for using pornography at work. This is an amazing work, got off at work and got off from work. Leave paid. Government often is a lottery for many people, instead of scratching the card, you fill out on application, and some people can win and a lot of these people win. What about these numbers, 775 million hard earned dollars, american taxpayer dollars. It was put in to place so if there were disputes, people questioning someone says he was wrongly accused, this person should have been put on paid leave. They realize that you can almost ask for anyone to go on ollleav and dispute anything, i have a problem with my boss, im a whistle bler, anything big. People realized they could stay home and get paid and when you retire, you can salary up and retire at a higher pension when youre not even working. Its disturbing. Its disturbing, but the fact that so many people in many cases charged, they havent proven they have done anything wrong, the Defense Department has 37 of the employees in the federal government. They have more than 10,000 people on this list. A lot of these people coming to work, why not go home, why should you take salary while youre proving you havent done something wrong. They abuse the system. People were looking for not innocent. People were looking for paid ollie to stay home. People have a right to get paid until theyre proven they have broken some laws. Congress could change the law so that it would say, you will be eligible for back pay if you r your name is cleared. If you get accused of pornography or something, you have to have some discretion as a manager, that doesnt exist here, so thats why so many people are taking advantage of it. And just two weeks ago, we didnt have a chance to talk about it on the show, but there was a Security Officer at the veteran affairs accident
