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. RealityThe inauguration party is over. Whats 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 ColmesDr. 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 TVs Hannity and Colmes, and host of his own show on Fox News Radio.
Im not a political analyst. I dont get into all the ideologies of the two sides, Dr. Phil tells his guests. What Im 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 hes made, Ann?
I dont know, well see, she says. Since hes 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, thats 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 its the last thing you want to do in a recession. It would be an economic disaster. And then you know, after hes elected, two weeks later, hes saying, Oh, no, were not going to roll back the Bush tax cut. So if hes playing the Daily Kos kids and the New York Times editorial page for fools, were 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 hes going to pretty much moderate and get back to somewhere
Well, I hope so. That is my hope. Thats our theme: Hope, Ann says.
What do you think? Dr. Phil asks Alan.
Im 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 hes 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 isnt stuck in some ideological box, like weve had for the last eight years, so I think this is great. This in and of itself is a great change.
The change is hes not trying to win the Primary anymore, Ann retorts...
Airs at 3pm here. LOL. Had to look up the time on line, never watched before. For Ann, I’ll make an exception.
Thanks for the heads up! I would have missed it. I guess its on at 4.00 PM here in Los Angeles.

One Web site listed Ann Coulter (slong with Sarah Palin) as one of the most interesting people of 2008. The list should have included also Jim Robinson.
WOW, now that’s a nice looking group!
Sorry- didn’t mean to imply it WAS over at that point (of Supremes’ turning over DC Gun Ban), just thought it couldn’t have been. That transcript doesn’t read but 2-3 minutes, right?
Show’s just coming on locally.
The Young Republicans from UCLA [and popmodal.com] joined in the fun...As I posted on ANOTHER thread:
LOL! That would be THIS guy:Could you explain to me who Jeffers Dodge is? I dont know him.
JEFFERS DODGE was the driving force behind this "Ann on Dr. Phil" FReep; without Jeffers, it simply would not have happened.
We used HIS relationship with Ann to set it up in the first place, and HIS (massive) e-mail distribution list to get so many non-FReepers (or, perhaps more precisely, "not-yet-FReepers") to this event.And, although my very good FRiend Jeffers doesn't actually post here, he really is "FReeper" -- in the same way that Ann Coulter is: We share many of the same convictions, and work well together as a team -- building on each other's strengths.
And, he helps to DOCUMENT much of what we do, since as we say, "If you don't get pictures of your FReep on the Internet -- it didn't happen."Good photos -- and now also VIDEO -- are the very best way that we have to LEVERAGE what we do locally, so that everyone ELSE out there in Internet-land can see (and be influenced by) what we do -- NOT just the people who were at the event.
And Jeffers does some AMAZING videos!Plus, he now "hosts" DOZENS of videos on his new CONSERVATIVE answer to YouTube, popmodal.com:
Check it out!
You're gonna LOVE his AnnTV section!
WOW, now thats a nice looking group!You got THAT right!
Young attractive conservative women (one of Ann's target demographics) are "MADE for TV!"
As opposed to OLD DOGS like me, who have "a face for RADIO." :o)
LOL
Having a face for Morse Code myself...
"This is a guy [Bill Ayers] who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English..."

While waiting for the show, you may enjoy the latest Hitler Rant. He rants about Haj and losing his baseball glove.
Just dang. Cable just went out for all the networks here. Cable channels still on. Called Time-Warner and was sent thru ‘push 1 for’ hell to tell me that ‘your area is currently experiencing an outage’ AAAAARRRRRGGHHH!!!. Hope we can see Ann on popmodal.com soon with this program.
Scottie-Dog is saying he read the Amazon reviews of his own book ... hmmm, that’s open to anyone, isn’t it ...
Eat it, Scottie. Way to go FReepers -- you guys are dictating the entire tone of the show.
Ann now tying Barry to Carter, saying Reagan praised Carter at his Inaugural ... giving grief to those who booed at this Inaugural ... Shut up Alan, you Skeletor freak ...
Eat it, Scottie.Shhhhh...Way to go FReepers -- you guys are dictating the entire tone of the show.
That's supposed to be a SECRET!!!
"Invest in an Roth IRA" ... so Nancy and Nancy-boy Barry can confiscate it in 2010 ...
