" Backlog or body like former Press Secretary Scott McClellan my next guest served in the bush White House ultimately becoming deputy director of speech writing. And he too has just written a tell all book I -- his -- it's called speechless tales of a White House survivor. Which we -- from what I've read at least that this whole thing seems -- funny to me but like McClellan. -- Latimer is now getting beat up by other former presumably more loyal White House staffers. Mad. I really did that really did like did. I I've -- welcome to show an hour to get right to -- 11 reason -- covering this. As the economy nose -- pundits on TV started asking why the president wasn't saying war and what he was going to do. For instance. -- to -- the chances -- we had nothing to say and no one had any idea. You know that's really shows the depth of the the fear -- as one of the first books out since the great. Recession. But it it's it -- it you know for all the jokes does a pretty somber. Somber statement."

" Yea it is -- I do wanna crank one thing you know. I."

" Am not -- Scott McClellan kind of book it's not a nasty book it's an honest book and in fact it's a book from the right a conservative view of Washington and in my whole decade or more and into the Capitol Hill in the Pentagon in the White House and in fact one of the people -- this book is a guessing ashore earlier and Coulter who likes to watch what oh wait wait wait is -- they're still here. And -- there is that true and I like this stuff and I'd sort of making fun -- W bush."

" I love it it's hilarious it is absolutely hello -- It is nothing like Scott McClellan is blocking that Latimer has -- millions I'm Scott McClellan like you and one million -- is writing ability and for anyone who's ever worked in Washington. It is the completely true and completely hilarious I mean not just about bush. And bush wasn't awful conservative and now okay and Matt needles in on that. He says great things out Rumsfeld and Cheney by the way. But just for the whole want."

" She was an experience it is -- color -- the allegation that is that you're nice to Rumsfeld because you're helping him write his memoir. Where anybody who knows it and I'm sure you know does anybody -- Donald Rumsfeld knows that nobody writes his book -- Donald Rumsfeld. But it's true I was asked to help with the number of other people to put his memoirs together and and I've enjoyed I have a lot of respect for him and -- president Cheney as well. How are you I'm I'm amnesty and I like this book but here's the parent what are you what are you hearing about them that's critics."

" Well I mean I mean I don't know that much about it seems to me to there's a lot of infighting among the conservatives about it and I read -- are appalled by. His former boss in The Wall Street Journal claiming that he's exaggerating his. Access but I think that that's usually par for the course when people don't like what they're hearing and I think he's he's reporting things. -- that frankly sort of make a lot of people look -- and he can I say to."

" And about that -- please your book."

" Yeah I what I wanna make a little bit -- news tonight maybe you know. Build -- Gurney and we've just referencing Dana Perino and a glass Steagall I'd like very much in the White House I worked with them."

" Have you know gone around and said things that were true about. -- my book and about me what I'm trying to do with this book and it and its message and I would love to have an opportunity on this show -- any show they choose to kind of get together and discuss --"

" didn't come -- let's not Dana Perino the former Press Secretary Ed Gillespie. Bush's chief of staff. Matt -- saying come on Geraldo at Large -- will debate what's true what's not and he's got a power. A little ally in and the ankle but there was absolutely. All right so speechless is the book tales of the White House argues -- thank -- judge Joe thank you effective for us."
