Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)
" Bring in Fox News analyst Newt Gingrich from Washington -- and thoughts on the media coverage and also our present Obama's trip to Mexico so this is bigger looks like there's going to be there is civil war. In in this country in the media there's -- civil war broke out yesterday -- more pretense it's. Them against us I guess is that how you see it."
" All right -- look I I think there's no question of that. The elite media's stunningly left wing. They hated the tea parties because there on the side of the monarchy. There on the side of big taxes -- inside a big government. I was in New York -- you know we had 12500. People that was the New York police testament. 12500. People at 7 o'clock at night outside City Hall it was a terrific crowd was mostly young crowd. My city average -- is by 26 -- 28 organized. By a very young business guy who -- Qaeda who. Went out on his own and set up a website. I had 200 people -- the first meeting had kept growing. And I think it's just very hard for the New York Times -- to believe that normal taxpaying hard working Americans actually don't like. Having big government and big bureaucracy they don't believe -- hadn't had their children put in --"
" that none of the establishment media believes that they believe that. The tea parties were number one organized by right wing Kooks and number two we're an anti Obama play. That was obvious and all the report -- from the mainstream media yesterday."
" I think it's clearly an anti government play but I think they were. As hostile to. The bush administration's spending increases. As a word of the Obama administration spending increases. These are people recognize that their children grandchildren are gonna have an enormous burden of debt. Dumped on number way -- rather irresponsible. Generation of politicians who are simply failing to do their job and I think it's not just Washington. But it's -- in Sacramento. Trenton."
" God is unveiling -- there's -- step governments also control critical mass has been reached -- when states are on the verge of bankruptcy critical mass has been reached now. But like I said I believe that there is now a civil war in the media in this country I mean in the lines are formed. And it's bring it on time because we're now. It's not competitive anymore -- dominating to the extent that it's not about right wing left wing it's about Americans preferring with fox news's. Coverage however I think there's almost a civil war in the country I look at be -- presidential election number 69 million Americans. Bit more than that voted for Barack Obama 62 million Americans voted against Barack Obama. So there's no doubt that the president does have a significant number of Americans who want the entitlement culture. Who want the nanny state am -- wrong."
" Now they're pretty good number one -- but I think there are fewer who want to have been voted for him. I think a lot of his vote was a performance vote by people who are dissatisfied with the collapse of the housing bubble the collapse of Wall Street. The general sense of Republicans hadn't gotten the job done. And I think as the year goes on as people see the cost of big government the deficit spending you know -- twenty year old. Is gonna face a 114000. Dollars in taxes during their working lifetime just to pay interest on the Obama debt. Not to pay the principal just -- of the next shot."
" And can -- to be fair President Bush trauma not talking about that I've come on only under the Obama plan I'll get. The new spending says bush one more question is so we'll get to the Mexican situation which is interest in tonight as well. Out of the American public against 69 million voted for Barack Obama 62 against him. What percentage do you believe. Want the entitlement nanny state what percentage. About thirty. That's all -- when we did welfare reform. 92%. Of the country favored the work ethic over welfare so thirty including 88% of people -- at 630% one entitlement all right. Now President Obama Mexico City talk into president called -- Mexico who we think is a good guy but misguided. In one area because he's starting to do this at the fox deal. Blame America for his problems in the drug area particularly -- today."
" The source of the problem and bless the -- good mom for growth the United States the largest market in the world for. You can -- United States we have a lot of traffic of jokes you have a lot of institutional strokes you have a look of corruption as well. --"
" I think we should take him exactly at his word control the border stop all the flow of illegal drugs. Protect Mexicans from American money and as if we want to absolute control the border. Nobody illegal gets in no illegal drugs get in. No guns go across the border we have -- control the border we meet president Calderon's concerns so I'm happy to say to him. Will stop the flow of dollars south you stop the flow of drugs north let's join together and control the border and we won't let anybody illegal go over either way. Do you think he do it. I think he'd immediately say when I didn't mean -- and but I think that's what we should do and I think the answer to listen tell who's been sort of were almost a decade we've been home for them -- Here on the right side here I am. Thank you very much as --"
