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...
Hope we can see Ann on popmodal.com soon with this program.Probably by LATE tonight.
Jeffers has VERY HIGH standards, and only posts the VERY BEST quality videos -- which can take a LOT of time.Keep checking back HERE, until it is up:
"If it's not on AnnTV, it's not worth watching!"
Phil has the hots for Ann ... hell ya ...
Thank you RonDog and Jeffers. Can’t wait!
Just watched it. Great show. Liked the way Dr. Phil had the most exchanges with Ann.
Ann’s initial response to what Scott McClellan said. “What? I wasn’t listening.....just kidding.”
Great audience!
HEY SO CAL Folks it going be on 4pm TODAY ON Channel 2 KCBS
Sweettt
Heads up for Dr. Phil today!
Many thanks to you RonDog, for the thread and all of the great pictures!
I find it hillarious that Ann was “matched up” with Alan...
As far as intellectual firepower goes... well, make your own analogies. Colmes isn’t even in the same league.

*********
...and if you miss the 4 p.m. Channel 2 show, you can catch it again at 7 p.m. tonight (1/22) on KCAL 9 TV, LA, which is a CBS affiliate in LA.
I’m watching it now.
Tbanks for posting this. I wasn’t aware it was on today!
Ann is great! And I have to say, so far, Dr. Phil is being very fair.
Tbanks? UGH. Thanks.
What a fabulously good looking bunch of bright youngsters.
Reminds me of the kids at the call center in Tallahassee at the run-up to the election.
WOW! There’s a lot of “not guilty” in that group!!
(side story, while checking out today a couple standing behind me, Husband and Wife)
Wife says to me:..”you really like reading her” (meaning Ann)
Doogle: “Yeah, she's pretty funny and usually right on.”
Wife says, “she sounds so whinny when I hear her on TV”
(meanwhile the husband's looking over at me and grins and shakes his head)
Wife (talkative type)say’s..”she won't be around long”
Doogle: “Yeah I suspect after a few more Obama executive orders are issued, alot of books are going to disappear, that's why I got mine today”
...now the husband is laughing out loud, I'm grinning, and she's looking at us completely oblivious.
I start to leave and the husband says..”hey bud have a good day” I say “Thanks, I hope yours gets better” and while I'm leaving I can hear her saying, “what he say?, what he say?....(he's still laughing)
WOW! Theres a lot of not guilty in that group!!See also from Ann's CLASSIC "Banned in Boston" column:
...Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do.My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazoned with the "F-word" are my opponents.
Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side...
THXS FOR THE HEADS UP
Indeed! Great close up of our own Syncro!
ROFL - Great story!
I am not a big fan of Dr. Phil (or of Ann Coulter, for that matter) but I am looking forward to seeing Jim and Syncro there in the audience.
