Many of us were in the studio audience yesterday for the taping of this shoow, but we do not (yet) know how badly they chopped it up, if they did. But, thanks to the eagle eye of Matchett-PI, we know that they already have a PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT and some TEASER VIDEO posted on Dr. Phil's website (part 1 of 3):

Obama: Hope vs. Reality

The inauguration party is over. What’s next for this country? Dr. Phil and his esteemed guests discuss their thoughts about the new presidency and what to expect in the next four years.

The Party's Over

Ann Coulter

Alan Colmes

Dr. Phil introduces some political opposites. From the “right” is controversial TV commentator, Ann Coulter. She is the author of seven books, including, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. Joining the show from the “left” is Alan Colmes, one half of TV’s Hannity and Colmes, and host of his own show on Fox News Radio.

“I’m not a political analyst. I don’t get into all the ideologies of the two sides,” Dr. Phil tells his guests. “What I’m interested in and the only reason I talk about this is I want to know what this means to the average person. Is Obama equal to these promises he’s made, Ann?”

“I don’t know, we’ll see,” she says. “Since he’s been elected, he has been talking a lot more like George Bush than he did during the campaign, and so he may well. And by the way, even though Alan and I disagree about a lot of things, that’s why we care about public policies too, for how it affects real people. If Obama raises taxes, for example, as he claimed he was going to do throughout the campaign, that would throw us into the worst — it’s the last thing you want to do in a recession. It would be an economic disaster. And then you know, after he’s elected, two weeks later, he’s saying, ‘Oh, no, we’re not going to roll back the Bush tax cut.’ So if he’s playing the Daily Kos kids and the New York Times editorial page for fools, we’re going to be a lot better off than I thought we were going to be, and that would affect real people.”

“So, you think what he had was a bunch of campaign rhetoric, but now he’s going to pretty much moderate and get back to somewhere —”

“Well, I hope so. That is my hope. That’s our theme: Hope,” Ann says.

“What do you think?” Dr. Phil asks Alan.

“I’m happy to see Ann come a little over to my side. This is very exciting,” he jokes. “Look, this is a guy who obviously reacts to changing conditions. The fact that he’s not necessarily sticking to what he said ideologically during the campaign, it would be nice to have a president who actually reacts to changing conditions and isn’t stuck in some ideological box, like we’ve had for the last eight years, so I think this is great. This in and of itself is a great change.”

“The change is he’s not trying to win the Primary anymore,” Ann retorts...

I understand that Ann has a NEW BOOK coming out soon. :o)

I wonder if she will talk about it with Dr. Phil.

“You refer to him in your book as B. Hussein Obama, and you say that he is oily. What do you mean, he’s oily?” Dr. Phil asks Ann.

“Yes. Well, Barack sounds so foreign. I was trying to help him out. And he’s reaching out to Muslims. This was his first State of the Union address where Muslims were mentioned, so I’m helping him with that,” she jokes. “No, the truth of the matter, is, for one thing, it makes Alan hysterical when I call him B. Hussein Obama, so I have to keep saying it.”

“I’m so glad to hear that golden oldy, Ann. That’s so nice to hear that again,” Alan says.

Dr. Phil asks Ann, “What do we need to watch about this new president, about this new administration, because you have said, ‘We don’t really know anything about this guy because the media didn’t really ask him anything’?”

“Right. I mean, people say I go after Barack in the book. I don’t really go after Barack; I go after the media. He is very young,” she says. “Here’s a guy who’s like 14 years old, has been in public service for 10 minutes. This is when you needed a watchdog media. I mean, I could talk about almost any issue and give you seven different positions he’s had on it, so we need to watch which ones he’s going to take now, and like I say, at least two big areas, national defense and taxes, he seems to be a lot more to my liking than to Alan Colmes’ liking.”

“That’s not true,” Alan says. “I’m glad to hear you like what he’s doing so far. Look, this is guy who’s willing, as I said, to look at things as the world has changed tremendously, even since election day. Look at what’s happened to the economy. Look what continues to happen, and he’s not stuck in an ideological mold. I think that’s very important to underscore, because, you know, we need someone who’s able to focus.”

“What do you mean it’s changed?” Dr. Phil asks Alan. “The economy is in the ditch. If we were surprised that the Big Three, that they’re running out of money, if we’re surprised that earnings are off, that banks are going under — why should we be surprised? Haven’t we been paying people to pay attention to this?”

“They say they were surprised,” he says. “They didn’t see [Hurricane] Katrina. They didn’t see the breach of the levees. They didn’t see what was happening in Iraq, that there would be an insurgency. They didn’t see the economic unfolding taking place. So, you talk about the lack of experience of Barack Obama, look at what the so-called experienced people in Washington have brought over the last eight years. So, it’s not what you have on a resumé; it’s whether you’re competent and can focus on the future. That’s what’s going on here.”

Dr. Phil asks Ann, “Why don’t we know anything about Obama? Why didn’t the media ask him any questions?”

“They love him. They have a crush on him,” she says. “I mean, we did need to get answers to some of the these things!”

“You say about Obama, that he was Muslim when he needed to be and not when he needed to be, that he was black when he needed to be and not when he needed to be,” Dr. Phil says. “What do you mean?”

“Right. He is a chameleon that way, and I’ll give you another beautiful illustration that affects real people, as you say: his position on guns,” Ann says. “He has been in favor of a national ban on concealed carry weapons, he has been in favor of the District of Columbia law that bans citizens from having guns, and then when the Supreme Court overturned that ban, he said he agreed with the Supreme Court decision. He said Americans, out of bitterness, cling to God and guns, but he agrees with the Supreme Court decision?”

Not to worry.

A COMPLETE video of Ann's ENTIRE APPEARANCE on Dr. Phil will be posted (permanently) on the "AnnTV" channel at popmodal.com, some time later this evening -- thanks to the DILIGENT efforts of popmodal's founder, Mr. Jeffers Dodge.

From the “right” is controversial TV commentator, Ann Coulter.
Joining the show from the “left” is Alan Colmes

I'm SOOOOO sick of this crap! Anyone that allegedly comes from the "right" is automatically labeled "controversial" but NEVER is one from the "left" labeled at all. When will we see: Joining the show from the communist “left” ...?

We get Phil about 3 times a day here. This I got to see, with raised brow of course. ;-)

[southlake_hoosier]

Too bad it is Dr Ill. There is nothing credible about this guy, so his show means nothing.

[Liberty Valance]

Watch the program. I’m not a fan either, but you’re going to enjoy this.

[Global2010]

What dream is that squashing Dr. Phil like a bug intellectually and such or being in the space of the Scent of the Coulter woman?

FReepers Support Ann Coulter in Hollywood @ Dr. Phil Taping
	01/21/2009 2:27:55 PM PST · by DoughtyOne · 71 replies · 1,366+ views First hand account... | 01/21/2008 | DoughtyOne Ann Coulter was in Hollywood, California this morning at Paramount Studios to appear on the Dr. Phil show.  Southern California's RonDog coordinated a group effort to support Ann.  About thirty members of Free Republic showed up at the studios around 7:30 am. Jim Robinson, his wife Sheila, and thier son Chris came down from Fresno to join in.  Also attending were a number of the Youngs Republicans from UCLA.  Ann didn't have to want for more support.  Thanks to RonDog, we had her back...
FREEPERS invade Dr. Phil Show to Support Ann Coulter
	01/21/2009 2:13:49 PM PST · by doug from upland · 57 replies · 1,563+ views dfu on the scene ^ | 1-21-09 | dfu A nice contingent of FReepers, including the famous Robinson family of Fresno, along with some UCLA young Republicans made it to the Dr. Phil show this morning to give support to Ann Coulter. Okay, so the headline was hyperbolic. We actually didn't invade. We got reservations. It was an interesting show with Annie not shy whatsover in telling the L.A. audience the way things should be. Thanks to Ron Dog for his organizing skills in making it happen. Ann had a great deal of support in the audience as she opposed Alan Colmes and then lying, backstabbing, weasel Scott McClellan....

The left loves flip floppers.
