This show will air TODAY, Thursday, January 22 - at various times across the country.

Find the LOCAL TIME in YOUR area, and then add YOUR comments to this thread, as the show proceeds.

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...

Oh I thought JIM and ANN were appearing together.

Ack either I got too excited or your Title/Intro misled me.

Ok I may watch in even if Jim is not going to be on.

I have been wanting to see Ann make mincemeat out of the day time tv show circuit.

Well I will make my own history by actually tuning into the Dr. Phil show.

You go Jim!!!

[Global2010]

I goofed my post for the Oregon ping.

I got to excited.
I dont think Jim is one of the guests either not clear on that.

From Ann's HILLARIOUS answers to the lightning fast "Queen of the not-so-mean" interview questions posted on TheHill.com:

Who is your best friend in the world?
My hairdresser.

Who does your hair?
My best friend.

Whoever Ann's hairdresser friend is, he/she is doing a GREAT job!

From FReeper Syncro's photos of Ann, taken at the post-taping party.

"... it would be nice to have a president who actually reacts to changing conditions and isn’t stuck in some ideological box..."

Funny that what Colmes calls an "ideological box" others might call "beliefs" or "guiding principles."

The Left detests Principles above all else.

LOL! That WAS my plan. :o)

We get a lot more "thread views" that way!

Actually we MIGHT see Jim and/or some FReepers in the "audience reaction" shots -- so please WATCH, and see!

And, there was a GREAT "question and answer" segment at the end with Ann talking to the young Republican guy from UCLA in the black and yellow rugby shirt, at the far left of the picture that I posted at #12.

I really hope THAT clip made the final cut.

[RonDog]

Hey, Race - Check out the BRAND NEW version of your CLASSIC "soft focus, eyes averted" picture of Ann at post #24...

It's ALMOST as good as yours. :o) Would you post YOURS here, for comparison?

[DTogo]

Lookin’ good, Jim!

[RaceBannon]

nah, mine much better

And, from our "pre-FReep" thread:

Ann Coulter will be in
HOLLYWOOD
on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 to tape the
"Dr. Phil" TV show.


The L.A. Chapter will be there!

Third page of provided transcript (this MUST be incomplete-right- it doesn’t end this wat and reads way too short):

“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?”

This was the singlemost NAKED LIE of Bam-Bam I picked up whole campaign and I now only read it. I saw a piece on his hypocrisy of 2nd amend and it didn’t even pointedly say this! he was ON A DC LOCAL RADIO OR TV STATION JUST BEFORE OR ON THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE SUPREMES ANNOUNCEMENT ON FOLLOWING MONDAY OVERTURNING THE GUN BAN THERE. HE STATED EXPLICITLY HE WAS FOR THE DC GUN BAN.

NOT 4-5 DAYS LATER HE’S SAYING FOR THE MSM HE WAS FOR THE SUPREMES DECISION. THIS WAS SO FREAKING BLATANT I THOUGHT IT COULDN’T BE LOST ON THE MANY- YET IT WAS!!!

THE MSM SUPPRESSED AND TONS OF CONSERVATIVE MEDIA JUST DIDN’T SHRIEK IT OR PLAIN MISSED IT.

[RonDog]

nah, mine much better

LOL! I think so, too!

I just wanted to get SOMEONE ELSE -- besides me! -- posting on this thread. :o)

I hope that you are correct.

It seems that we TAPED a lot more than that.

I'm trying to remember everything, but I might need some help from the OTHER FReepers who were there.

What say you? What do YOU remember from yesterday's taping?

Jim Robinson
Syncro
DoughtyOne
doug from upland
Avoiding Sulla
The Spirit of Allegience

[Syncro]

Nuttin’ beats yer pics, Race! You got that right...

It's already been on at 10am on the east coast or did I read that wrong?

If I'd known that I would've gotten Dr. Zoo to change the time zone...dern!

[DoughtyOne]

I’m afraid I won’t be much more help than you are on this one. I just don’t remember the exact comments that ended the show.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they did cut some out though.

I’ll be watching this afternoon to see if they portray the program as it was taped, or if they slice and dice to change the emphasis to make Ann look less articulate than she was.

She was pure dynamite yesterday.

[BlueDragon]

Thank you RonDog for all your efforts.

Thank you too (again), Mr. Robinson, for what FreeRepublic represents, and can be. I do enjoy the photos of Ann, smiling, with you...

Love to you all.

[acad1228]

Jim, I am so jealous.

[RinaseaofDs]

She is so freakin’ hot. She’s an attractive woman physically, but you add in the fact she can carry a logical argument to its conclusion . . .

[GeronL]

who says Republicans can’t be diverse?

I see a couple of redheads, a baldy, a couple of geeks and some pretty college girls.
