Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" This is the God's honest truth. Jerry and I have yet to discuss our response -- reaction. The last night's debate I have no idea what he thinks he has no idea what I think I swear to god that's true. Like most want as when we pick -- side before I had Indian shots this okay now you. Are going to say -- came out too early correct and you're gonna say they left them in. Two whatever she left him in long -- in wholesale whatever Jerry execute there. That we don't even involve him in the meetings. Involved today I casket did you season that may not -- mostly. Honestly glad with the rest of they with the rest of the population health or latches and bouncing -- by the third and sees half an hour I was out and you watch out now. Yes that I was not a to -- it was a Belmont university in Nashville in the central Florida Atlantic at Belmont -- in the and -- and no well last. 1616. And one -- I don't know like. You're the leader thanks for playing we'll we'll see you around 25 -- was there anything newsworthy well yes there was -- anyone ask you about reverend Russell double we're talking about. Whether they have reports that didn't ask my priorities now no known about it when they get these idiots in the audience anyway. Back up just -- I swear to god. Jerry and I have not spoken about what our response reaction to the last what I've no idea what he thinks he has -- B I think that being said programs. Look at my record I would keep cool and on the until this morning I'm going to reach across party Giles I'm going to tell you. There is no doubt in my mind that we as a nation will wake him. One month from today. With a president elect by the name of Barack Hussein Obama change -- it -- as bill says it's ole -- My it would probably all -- win Serra got up and just. -- know -- way but Agassi and crafts and that it is it is old folks and an analogy that's not what they said. There were -- roll up on your shoes moments there were no knockdown drag out oh my god I can't believe either one of them said this. This was all about what McCain. Didn't do last night and we're going to probably in abusing a boxing analogy most of the state. -- call 18 decision over. John McCain last night on a night that McCain had to knock him out that would be my estimation."

" I disagree I think John McCain would've won the debate if there were debate unfortunately. We have a debate of this blame. Controls. Like college lecture. Debates I was allotment. Yet one side going against the other wasn't wasn't all me but it was not -- that we called the bait or call them to get your thoughts on maybe you watched the debate. And here's where -- lost is where he lost when they made the plan when they agreed to this format. Granted he tried to get many panel meetings -- a dozen of them in the summer and and Brock was and under the desk for good reason. In he was protecting his league still protecting his lead. But that he had no chance I mean I love this notion meters not the first to say the talk about -- right. How exactly was he supposed to do -- it was impossible. It wasn't possible they agreed to this format they are bad. I know he -- the chance but it's probably too late. There was no way he could go on the attack is no way he could trip up Barack Obama brought Obama give speeches. In this game a chance to give about a dozen little speeches that."

" In my estimation where McCain loss -- lost it when he has the a national are behind his name my guess is that they're not Republican. On the face of this earth in this country it's where rock which all 57 states of this nation there's not a Republican that that that exists and is viable. Who given the current climate unpopular war but more importantly and the timing of this could that you were Republicans. The financial collapse near collapse of this nation. The last that was it might have John McCain deciding what. I am taken a lot I don't care how I'd do it immediately errors involved in this discussion tonight and get Jeremiah Wright involved in this discussion that -- to get where he got his campaign contributions from in this discussion tonight it was -- simply could not do this this was -- the people based on how scared they -- get an email about -- scared not being the word. About where money is -- retirements are and where they're 401K -- to be going could not stand up there and bashed this guy with -- makers about. You know he's associate it whip and his voting record at all of that business that might say why wanted to be assured that we're looking for somebody. Help me give me some verbal comfort food here and rank we're like -- that you are going to leave me also."

" That I think it's a sad state of affairs I feel bad if you know I watch this this this -- I watched this snake oil salesman is this this. This phony and I say I feel bad for the league general of the bathroom and Bob my mother too bad that generate a feel bad for the greatest generation. Who fought. Fascism and -- imperial Japan and an earned what they had and the idea that. That you would reach out -- the daddy government any government take. May well may EI. I need help Barack rugby will you do for me and has been so little -- personal responsibility. And an individual achievement nowadays. This guy is the ultimate tax and spend liberal this is the most liberal guy a run for president and somehow. -- in this mess because of his fellow liberals largely because his fellow liberals in the Senate in congress and his fellow community organizes. And somehow we're going to. Selected this got to get us."

" the -- in the climate and the request by a vast majority of American people act that Jerry it is what are you going to do me I'll tell me environment and trust me. Fine smarmy and anxious and all of the above. Barack Obama understand what that climate is how to play -- and the most I'm not blaming him exploiting it you're. He's exploiting and beautiful and there was no better example and right at the very top win all over the second question and said. Tell me about the financial bailout package and how that's going to work and the pain. Jumps up and launches into the attack on the abuse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. -- time Abbott didn't spend much time leaping rot in Barney frank in all the Democrats that match and money debate without -- name and Chris -- name it meant that contrast was Obama gets up. And he walks. All over and he looks IDs as well Oliver. First let me tell you what's. The rescue package you. Boys and girls."

" I thought he should think about Awad and just hand them money exactly where look at -- and we'll get that at that -- give -- government. I -- the best -- Barack -- raise taxes -- small business. Does that resonate with the with the do you meet people who are -- gimme gimme gimme now but but it certainly if your if your thinking man after. If you're paying attention you know that's not good. Does and it would -- The solution to the economic problems we have now is higher taxes on small business is more government is more spending. -- that makes cents one brief moment I want to McCain to look in the camp -- it -- anyone think this is a good idea. Higher taxes more spending."

" For the one brief moment that hands me. But the one brief moment the McCain mentioned the fact was used alcohol try to go back and we'll try to tax small business. A Obama refuted that gave the 200000. Dollars a year and 250000 dollar a year. -- lifeline line that if you blow that you're going to be fun nothing's going to change. For every for the one time that McCain did that -- kept coming back in and saying and linking him with -- CEO of fortune 500 companies giving 300 dollar 300 billion dollars in tax breaks for those kinds of people and linking him successfully in people's minds what's going on in this country today that she now the McCain got in. Obama Harry with a counterpunch and that the maker about the fortune 500 companies and nothing maddening. -- was McCain stood there and allow Obama. Answer after answer response after response to link him to George Bush and Republicans and the last eight years. Last eight years and George Bush's failed policies. Again and again and again at that point. Did John McCain -- score oh George Bush screw this administration. He's not running I'm not yeah I have different ideas both -- my policies that was kind of gloves off separating himself from -- but I think it helped him last night and the bigger point that Obama gets an and McCain doesn't. I know -- accused of being all involved in stylistic. Nuances and things like that -- irony that. About knowing your audience that make it right this doesn't make him wrong just makes him effective. And rock and John. Understands. Audience once Bly. You don't sell ice cubes to eskimos. Assault are Easton farmers use all the people. What resonates with the now and it's -- down Jerry change with all -- on all people. It's. But it sure can do each of promise that mean what's happening now is going to change John McCain says. Look at my record goal on the website check out these these these. It was a great elevated thank god out of those last night crime."

" 5 he's talking to adults and a Barak Obama's part of the children that's what it is it's child just sit there. We need change in these failed economic policies -- that McCain is trying to get to the policies he's trying to say. You you want source on sources here go to these web site and see who cuts taxes -- to cut spending Singh who doesn't propose any earmarks and see who is."

" Just another one of the boys just another one -- so there's no amateur rocket that nobody fired up by a lot -- like record and so -- again and handed out candy to fill that. Pathetic that's pathetic amounts and it's not successful lead success. Is a sad state is in this country -- this. This salesman. Stands there hands out candy to the children males at Shea. Now McCain actually tries to elevate the debate about the balls and talk about records. Second work I guess not I guess it's not work in -- not resonating. But I give credit to try and get credit for trying to. Debate it's a town called discussion with some substance there is no substance -- did you get Barack. Laughable 95% the American people. Tax cut what -- Throw -- this eighty. Half the people don't pay federal taxes you want to give those people that -- You want to give us here on you want to give those people expect which. Food don't pay federal -- Good eight guts he's going to give handouts and he said 95%. Of the American. Keep on Tuesday -- are all right out dissidents are exactly what he's not a swear I've run out out of -- open about it a lot of Bosnia and a little less than -- thousand dollars the reason I know it is mended his -- it said in the pro this -- 95%. Of working Americans is what you said last night. Americans now we shouldn't twice he said what ignited by -- percent the American abandons time. Those people don't -- taxes people pay me and him work for minimum wage if federal taxes you want to give them tax cut -- Iraq does. Rock as it's child is just infant. Would -- that's hot dog who's not see any raised for a first the ball that's a lie in any. Adult out there knows that's -- like bill promise in the middle class tax cut a month after he got in office he raised taxes. Everyone knows who's pitching. -- is anyone's taxes. I mean it's laughable -- ultimate actions and that -- and that's fine right. Everyone who thinks we should pay higher taxes and government should grow good here's -- guy. Run this jive by -- expect people to believe me I guess. Some people don't see it in. See you want to give tax cuts the people don't pay tax that's -- you give them money that's called welfare that's called and you want to do that that's right. Who actually thinks rock bottom in anyone's taxes. Do they think it would cut spending two when he said oh we're going to cut spending. Should have been laughed. As should have been one most laugh tracks from everyone loves Raymond when he said we're going to. Spending do you think Barack Obama. Consider those cuts they certainly did. You are you. -- out did you not off like that he's it is set inaudible -- get any raise taxes. Which is flat out well but I think -- soccer outline okay great let's let's remember in this in. February when you taxes. And make more than minimum wage."

" Not here. -- law that man is beat cigarettes golf blow that up on line. Yours yours yours the problem the McCain. Income last night. He didn't do when he needed to do you can talk about the -- you can talk about who's right who's wrong I -- if you could you classically opportunistic and out and -- no time he's no effort separating himself from George Bush he spent no time no effort linking Obama more than what reference to anime and ready man that's true. One particular area that that that. Had and -- was. About Pakistan and Afghanistan and giving -- our hands hockey's -- Don. -- Obama turned around and -- in terms of of that particular area of discussion we will still bin Laden. -- We are crushing. Him. In the central front. On the -- on the place -- abandoned the place where you want to surrender with -- like it or not -- 4 rhetoric comments he won the on -- idea that he he won the green pandering game you won the green and -- it in the probably all lies not doable at all. He he used the green technologies and that -- used to green technologies to help out kids I and -- out at right. Job right so he won on the green and entering game. Or class game wore on the -- Brian and I guess McCain participates in the that's the please state -- participate. Nonsense. Stylistic thing likelihood -- John McCain. Does anybody -- you it's a good idea to link yourself with O'Neal. Over to -- him Roosevelt. Kennedy introduced the fact that all odds say as it once told me why not -- references to anybody."

" did the in a smart -- we're going to do you and the rescue package him. The appropriate capital normally go for the whole litany try to make it's only given grasp on the issue. -- to sit tight quick history lesson how we got here. This guy who did that that that guy that won that that was great at bat on over there. Is the biggest recipient of money from -- in the last you know is on tonight did you -- and and his friends seven road and congressman frank says Don Crist thought congress and right on -- right bank -- dot dot frank. -- Now that his these kindred spirits. Who. Allowed us to get in the Christmas who put us in this mess on our -- responsible here and so are you. So is that one day. Yeah and in trust this man to get us out of this mess. When he and his kindred spirits -- Christmas. It's just concern and I realize a lot of these undecideds. Are our brain dead and I realized the media is completely in the tank here. We paint that picture that the guy who's. You like minded souls in the Senate and congress put us in your."

" Reckon my your my point here but the guy that you want to win the -- that you want to. Smiles these theories explained his plan for people to somehow. Give them as verbal comfort food that he can be their leader failed at six or seven or eight different opportunities last night that's a bad guy that doesn't make it about president that makes a bad communicators and somebody who last night essentially -- the presidency or to Barack Obama. You gotta understand it's it's it's there's style and substance and an approach is here the I would -- and he swung and this McKay and most."

" Again I'm just like the last debate wins easily on style. And Barack Obama as usual wins mean wins on substance rock -- style. Would be any style mean that's all the news itself is sizzle on his acting as well be on Broadway. Does -- work apparently works people notice they want to vote for the rock star they want to vote for the guy with all his charisma. I I I don't know there was every chance you may be right never chants of Republican could beat Democrat in the arm in this environment which was caused largely by Democrats and on understanding the list but it's easier said through."

" While Brock was up there looking at Aldridge and Oliver let me tell you hold on to hold -- let me tell you what's in this financial package for you. John McCain how many times -- should've kept."

" It kept. Elliott said. My friends friends we can do it my friends cool hand on the -- difference I can reach across I'll have friends look at my record I've outlined -- I'll bother some opportunities here all of which you swung and missed a pro sports last write your phone calls we've -- lined up the Rem dog and it's nine will get to you adjustment --"
