-- -- -- -- -- -- if they don't ask you just said be prepared he's gonna attack he's gonna attack -- media elite he's gonna make it into a racial deal.

Remember and Michael Clemente -- of you know I guess senior vice president of fox -- said the same thing to me that Newt knows how to turn the crowd out.

So where I am in the South Carolina debate we thought through what we wanted to do with that -- you know be ready -- he's gonna make you.

Into the target of derision from the audience in the audience was boom -- in his control I'm glad they said something because emotionally I had some sense of you know this is what's common now I'm not gonna be the good guy you know so I'm than national media here.

And on the black guy right in South Carolina after asking the question about why you playing racial politics -- -- -- I got hit it.

But you don't don't.

I did and Bret Bair said to me early on you know well.

Think through how you handle -- you know how you come back -- that was very helpful in -- -- autism.

Well I think I stuck with that I say to look you know it's not just me asking you this question that -- people all over the country when they hear you say things like.

You know black kids don't have a good work yet to be working as janitors or.

That president Obama is the food stamp -- people think you know wait a minute to -- just plan.

To racial antagonisms the country or is he in fact but I you know just trying to make a policy statement and mostly they think you're playing racial -- Lamar repulsive.

People plan I'm sure -- integrated.

They're gone and damage.

America.

There were politicians every day of the accord and are gonna and I am I gonna give him that I that I am trying to did you and yes you can't and you know what I appreciated -- you can send them.

But he's on not just on notch above.

Why everybody is about to about John Edwards -- Bloomberg don't even Scott Peterson -- everybody does not this well it's got its and that's pretty low.

-- -- -- -- That was good but yeah.

Everybody says -- what do you make of John Edwards saying.

There's a repeat of that famous Jesse Jackson line God's not done with -- -- is John it does John Edwards think he has a future profits questionable that would be incredibly.

Thick headed if he thinks that somebody's gonna vote for him but I'm interest in what you.

-- -- on whether or not John Edwards has a future can jet that can John Edwards reinvent himself.

In America today as somehow a good guy who deserves a second chance a second act for John Edwards.

That's all I can do.

On a supporter and a -- Because of -- treated.

Efforts have emphysema.

The humidity kills me.

So I have just enough -- To ask you questions.

Not answer -- -- -- -- one way street artery aperture and I expect which you know you had enough breath to play that little.

Also let me know what you thought of -- yeah.

So -- original racial politics there are chorus of big dollar Bill Clinton blood in his wire for actor to play the race card against.

Our president to -- Obama backed.

When there were all wrong and you.

I was alone and -- all the way around.

I don't know Obama playing on Bill Clinton and that's the way Bill Clinton feels to this day well yes students -- -- got to play I don't.

You gotta play -- -- and as you know the title that had climbed lucrative scurrilous book but the title temperature.

Is reflects Clinton's feelings about Obama that you know somehow the -- it's got in the race.

And taking advantage of the race card I don't thanks endorsement asked her where and I don't -- in Portland so large component.

I don't I look I think it's all professional you know weren't I think it's all about for Bill Clinton now it's about Bill Clinton and maybe Hillary -- sixteen I don't.

-- I don't think he gives to much of a hoot about numbers are Smart -- on.

It is although you know it's becoming obvious that -- we're talking about it the fact that yesterday political.

I think was Roger Simon wrote this do you think he's about Bill Clinton's ego.

Getting in the way.

Barack Obama's reelection campaign.

That's just not good for Bill Clinton because -- Bill Clinton has that all these ties to Wall Street to big donors people love and now people who used to.

Try to impeach him if -- -- that.

Ten or twelve years ago now it's all Bill Clinton's great guy well he can't risk losing that again he he shouldn't do that.

But but I'm.

-- -- -- -- you think he's promote round not a wrongs don't wanna tax the release are you sure said that -- had a sterling record -- -- and he said he wouldn't undo the bush tax cuts.

Until the recovery is secure so that's all Romney talk but.

He also said it would be calamitous for the nation when he was he was here in Manhattan I guess Monday night -- three events with -- Obama -- he said it would be calamitous for the nation.

If Republican policies and Mitt Romney in specific was elected so now the question is was that just can't -- -- just saying what he is expected to say or did he mean at this point given the stuff that he says when he's off message you know you gotta wonder.

Norma Lana -- -- announcement -- Sixteen until -- and -- meeting yesterday.

-- -- and some all the people.

And his billionaire who has taken an interest.

And on terrorism the government.

-- -- -- underground and results of senator and his goal.

Mr.

inform people of the dangers.

Of there's multiple vaccinations.

Particularly for kids.

-- Less than robust immune systems.

And so on perhaps.

As and their carbon revealed and has -- Evidence of -- -- it.

And then you know created by stations Clinton -- -- -- slower sales slid out.

But not in -- -- vaccinations which is by the way nocturnal.

But they think their -- and link.

Between -- and now.

And these vaccinations.

And ism raging debate across this country -- bottom -- -- -- -- another government -- A bearish signals name's -- time.

They asked did or she would speak at a conference board's.

And Bill Clinton Senator Clinton.

Because he's in -- I was.

Bob Wright and his other people.

-- the pharmaceutical industry and because us all about money.

And so they won't address that issue because they're cowards.

All -- on but I've no dog in the fight.

-- -- additional management.

-- launches humanism picture and as a nightmare on abortion on.

-- So are used mostly dead -- while you're where -- -- wanted to speak -- conference.

And Davis is not a form of a return -- ground centric.

So if you there's a -- you know climb those -- crippled pronouncement.

The vaccination connection what are they should consider and they stricter there I'm -- well all you want me there it'll be broad.

-- -- -- But -- -- where he's -- How -- to interest them I want people to stand on principle and obviously a lot of people with think just to be in that setting have an opportunity to speak to other issues -- But she didn't play that game.

Portion.

Well how do you think -- -- -- -- election.

You know.

Lou Dobbs bet me the other -- that it's going to be a landslide for -- I said I don't see that I remember just about a month maybe a month running them yes he -- money.

And it sounds alright.

I think it it is I don't think -- Yeah yeah yeah I think Louis blues -- -- is that bad people are getting wise to Obama and -- they realize he's isolated he's not speaking to the issues in the does the economy is gonna go in the tank even farther as we go into the deep into the summer.

So -- was console environment.

-- what it meant.

Was that the power of unions is clearly not what it needs to be in order to help Obama in the fall that the organizing.

Power of unions is being diminished and that all these Republican governors.

Who -- trying to strip collective bargaining rights are not gonna have a new infusion of energy and big money coming from the billionaires who -- so much money into Wisconsin for Scott Walker -- The Republican side got a big boost yesterday if you're looking toward the fall you look at turn out to turnout was unbelievable in -- stance and people were knocking door to door including Republicans making new pantex so I think that's all good stuff now that Democrats also.

Made a lot of new context if you look at the numbers this morning you still see that Obama has a leading -- -- and even what's even among people who voted for Scott -- previous -- so I'm not sure that it's gonna.

I think it's the case Wisconsin's gone democratic in the last six presidential elections are much I don't know that's gonna be at a game changer for certain but it means that was kansans and -- -- Democrats have to pay attention in the unions have been weakened.

Not only in -- -- and -- national.
