COVERAGE TO SEE HOW THE INDUSTRY IS GETTING TOGETHER THIS SPRING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S COMING OUT IN... |
| 00:00:36 |
|
I'M PAT SCHROEDER FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN PUBLISHERS. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM... |
| 00:04:18 |
|
THANK YOU ALL. I THANK YOU-ALL. I KNOW MANY OF YOU WERE THERE AT THE AWARDS LAST NIGHT, AND HEARD... |
| 00:18:12 |
|
THANK YOU, GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. WHO "WHO'S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU?" IS A VERY PERSONAL BOOK. IT'S... |
| 00:29:08 |
|
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HERE'S THE PRELIMINARY COVER OF "LIES AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM: A... |
| 00:41:35 |
|
TASTE IT FIRST. |
| 00:41:39 |
|
YEAH. BECAUSE I REALLY NEED TO TELL THIS RIGHT. OK. BILL, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF THIS STORY. ... |
| 00:49:05 |
|
I KNOW YOU 13 |
| 00:49:06 |
|
I KNOW YOU COULD. |
| 00:49:08 |
|
AND I KNOW YOU COULD. |
| 00:49:09 |
|
JUST ABOUT HAVE. YOU JUST ABOUT HAVE. |
| 00:49:13 |
|
YOU GET THEM, BILL. |
| 00:49:14 |
|
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON FOR 15 MINUTES. THIS IDIOT GOES 35. ALL HE'S GOT IN SIX AND A HALF YEARS... |
| 00:49:27 |
|
NO, NO -- |
| 00:49:28 |
|
SHUT UP. YOU HAD YOUR 35 MINUTES. SHUT UP. |
| 00:49:32 |
|
THIS ISN'T YOUR SHOW, BILL. |
| 00:49:34 |
|
THIS IS WHAT THIS GUY DOES. |
| 00:49:35 |
|
BILL, YOU CAN'T TELL ME -- TAKE CONTROL, PAT. COME ON. |
| 00:49:40 |
|
I THINK -- WAIT A MINUTE. I THINK I NEED A WHISTLE AND A STRIPED SHIRT. I AM NOT TO BE A REFEREE.... |
| 00:49:48 |
|
CAN YOU PLEASE CONTROL HIM? . THIS GUY ACCUSES ME OF BEING A LIAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ON NATIONAL... |
| 00:50:12 |
|
YOU DIDN'T JUST MISSPEAK. |
| 00:50:13 |
|
THIS IS WHAT HE DOES. HE IS VICIOUS, AND THAT IS WITH A CAPITAL "V" PERSON WHO IS BLINDED BY IDEOLOGY.... |
| 00:50:23 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS -- |
| 00:50:25 |
|
I WANT TO -- |
| 00:50:27 |
|
IS RECLAIM ALL OF THIS. THE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY TO THE WONDERFUL BOOK SELLERS IN THIS ROOM, IF... |
| 00:51:34 |
|
A RESPONSE ABOUT THE SPEAKERS. I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THE POKE IS AN EXTREMELY PRESTIGIOUS JOURNALISM... |
| 00:51:47 |
|
YES, BY THE WAY, I'M SORRY, MOLLY, BUT THE POKE THEY WON WAS WON A YEAR AFTER BILL LEFT THE SHOW. |
| 00:51:53 |
|
THE DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT THE PROGRAM. I SAID NOTHING THAT I WON ANYTHING. IT WAS A DISCUSSION ON THE... |
| 00:51:59 |
|
WHY DID YOU USE THE PRONOUN "WE"? |
| 00:52:01 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. |
| 00:52:03 |
|
OK. BOYS -- |
| 00:52:06 |
|
I ALSO WANTED TO -- WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE. |
| 00:52:09 |
|
TIMEOUT. |
| 00:52:10 |
|
JUST TO SAY A COUPLE L OF OTHER THINGS. IN OUR ONGOING EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE CIVIL DISCOURSE, ONE OF... |
| 00:54:25 |
|
BILL, I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN YOUR AND MOLLY HAVING A DISCUSSION ABOUT HER CONCEPTS OF DOUG JONES... |
| 00:54:40 |
|
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MISS IVINS AND MYSELF IS I DON'T BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT CAN HELP YOU ALL THAT... |
| 00:55:55 |
|
WAIT A MINUTE. NO, NO, NO. |
| 00:55:58 |
|
WHO STARTED OUT WITH NOTHING AND GIVING SOMEBODY ELSE AND NOT REGULATING WHAT THAT PERSON DOES WITH... |
| 00:56:33 |
|
OK. I THINK THAT'S A PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE POINT OF VIEW. AND LISTEN TO IT WITH GREAT RESPECT. AGAIN,... |
| 00:58:18 |
|
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE AN EQUAL STARTING LINE. |
| 00:58:21 |
|
YOU CAN WORK TO GET ONE. |
| 00:58:22 |
|
I WRITE ABOUT THIS IN "WHO'S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU?" . YOU WILL NEVER HAVE IT BECAUSE SOME KIDS HAVE... |
| 00:58:40 |
|
WHY NOT KEEP WORKING AT IT? |
| 00:58:42 |
|
YOU CAN WORK AT IT, BUT UNDER A VERY DISCIPLINED STRUCTURE, AND THAT I BELIEVE. THAT I BELIEVE THE... |
| 01:00:53 |
|
WAIT A MINUTE. I REALLY HAVE TO JUMP IN HERE. THE IDEA THAT PRIVATE CORPORATIONS ARE MORE EFFICIENT... |
| 01:01:01 |
|
THAT'S BA LOANNY. NOW WE PART WAYS. NOW WE PART WAYS. |
| 01:01:07 |
|
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT ECONOMISTS ARE NOW STUDYING WHICH IS AS A RESULT OF ENRON, WORLDCOM, ETC.,... |
| 01:01:33 |
|
RIGHT. NOBODY IMPOSES DISCIPLINE AND SAYS DON'T DO THAT. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT... |
| 01:01:39 |
|
PRIVATE DEFENSE CONTRACTORS ARE PULLING THAT OFF. |
| 01:01:41 |
|
THAT IS NOT JUST IN THE DEFENSE INDUSTRY. IT'S IN THE POVERTY INDUSTRY AND THE EDUCATIONAL INDUSTRY.... |
| 01:01:47 |
|
AM I BEING PUNISHED? |
| 01:01:50 |
|
NO, NO, NO. I'M SORRY. I WANTED ALSO TO RESPOND ON THE -- |
| 01:01:55 |
|
FORGIVE ME. I THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE A DOUG JONES ARGUMENT OVER HERE. |
| 01:02:01 |
|
I AM ENJOYING THE DEBATE, BUT I COULD ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN IT. |
| 01:02:05 |
|
I WANTED ALSO TO RESPOND ON THE ECONOMIC ARGUMENT. I DO BELIEVE IN AN INCOME REDISTRIBUTION TO THIS... |
| 01:02:19 |
|
THAT IS 80%. |
| 01:02:20 |
|
THANK YOU. WHEN THE "BUSHWHACKED" DISCUSSES TAX DISTRIBUTION, ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS INCOME TAX. ... |
| 01:02:57 |
|
YOU DESERVE YOUR MONEY. YOU EARNED YOUR MONEY. ALL RIGHT. YOU WANT TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE... |
| 01:03:06 |
|
NO, WHAT -- |
| 01:03:10 |
|
YOU CANNOT POINT TO ANY CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION -- |
| 01:03:13 |
|
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE. |
| 01:03:14 |
|
LOOK, IF YOU WANT A SOCIALIST, QUASI SOCIALISTIC STATE, LET'S HAVE A REFERENDUM. LET'S VOTE ON IT.... |
| 01:03:24 |
|
OK. OK. WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE. |
| 01:03:30 |
|
AL, THIS IS WAY OVER YOUR HEAD HERE. |
| 01:03:32 |
|
NO, NO. |
| 01:03:33 |
|
GO BACK. WE'LL CALL YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU. GO BACK OVER THERE. |
| 01:03:42 |
|
UNLIKE MOLLY, I AM A LIBERAL. AND THE IDEA THAT GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS CAN'T HELP PEOPLE IS RIDICULOUS.... |
| 01:03:56 |
|
NO, I HAVEN'T. |
| 01:03:57 |
|
YES, YOU HAVE. |
| 01:03:59 |
|
I CAME FROM A WORKING CLASS WORKING BACKGROUND. ANOTHER DISTORTION. GO AHEAD, AL. |
| 01:04:06 |
|
THE WESTBURY SECTION OF LEVITTOWN, HAVE WHICH I HAVE DEFINED 87 TIMES ON THE A. & A BIO. COME OVER... |
| 01:04:22 |
|
I WOULD LOVE THAT. |
| 01:04:24 |
|
HE MESSES AROUND WITH YOU. |
| 01:04:26 |
|
I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, THOUGH. AND I DON'T THINK MY WIFE WILL MIND BECAUSE I'M WRITING ABOUT IT... |
| 01:05:16 |
|
WE'LL GIVE YOU AN HONORARY PH.D., AL. UNBELIEVABLE. |
| 01:05:20 |
|
UNBELIEVABLE. ANYWAY, -- |
| 01:05:22 |
|
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE FOLKS OUT HERE? YOU GUYS WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING? |
| 01:05:27 |
|
DID BILL JUST CUT ME OFF? |
| 01:05:30 |
|
AL, YOU HAD 45 MINUTES UP HERE. |
| 01:05:32 |
|
NOT 45. |
| 01:05:35 |
|
AT LEAST IT SEEMED THAT WAY. |
| 01:05:37 |
|
IT ALWAYS SEEMS LONGER WHEN NONE OF C1 |
| 01:05:39 |
|
IT ALWAYS SEEMS LONGER WHEN NONE OF US HAVE THE MICROPHONE, I KNOW. BUT IT REALLY WASN'T. |
| 01:05:43 |
|
CAN I FINISH ABOUT MY WIFE STORELY? . WHEN MY WIFE WAS 18 MONTHS OLD, HER FATHER DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT.... |
| 01:06:58 |
|
ALL RIGHT. SO MAYBE -- LET ME SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS, THAT THIS HAS BEEN THE LAST -- LAST WEEK WAS... |
| 01:07:33 |
|
NOT THAT HARD. |
| 01:07:35 |
|
THAT WE OPEN IT UP TO THE AUDIENCE BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE SOME VIEWPOINTS OUT THERE. DO WE HAVE ANYBODY... |
| 01:07:51 |
|
THE QUESTION IS, THE REDISTRICTING FIGHT THAT DROVE THE TEXAS LEGISLATORS TO SEEK REFUGE IN OKLAHOMA.... |
| 01:11:08 |
|
VERY GOOD. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? ONE OVER HERE. THIS GENTLEMAN. |
| 01:11:16 |
|
YEAH. THIS IS A QUESTION FOR AL FRANKEN. I HEARD A WHILE BACK YOU ARE WORKING TO TRY TO GET A LIBERAL... |
| 01:11:41 |
|
YEAH, WE'RE TRYING TO GET A LIBERAL OR PROGRESSIVE RADIO NETWORK TOGETHER AND I WANT TO DO IT. IF... |
| 01:13:50 |
|
COME ON. |
| 01:13:51 |
|
HE SAID THE FIRST CALL HE MADE AFTER THE GULF WAR WAS DONE WAS TO PRESIDENT REAGAN TO THANK HIM. |
| 01:13:57 |
|
SO THE POINT IS, AL, THAT PEOPLE LIE IN CAMPAIGNS? IS THAT THE POINT? I'M SHOCKED. I'M SHOCKED. ... |
| 01:14:07 |
|
THAT THEY CONTINUE TO LIE IN OFFICE AND THAT ALSO THAT IT DOESN'T GET OUT. IT ISN'T FAIR AND BALANCED.... |
| 01:14:14 |
|
IT ISN'T? |
| 01:14:15 |
|
WHAT WE WANT TO DO, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE -- YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. TALK ABOUT... |
| 01:14:31 |
|
LOOK, AL -- |
| 01:14:33 |
|
I WOULD LOVE THE C-SPAN AUDIENCE -- |
| 01:14:37 |
|
IF WE WERE DOING A PROPAGANDA SHOW, I WOULD PUT YOU IN THE EDITING ROOM. YOU ARE THE BEST PROPAGANDAIST... |
| 01:14:45 |
|
EVEN PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH YOU IN THIS ROOM WILL -- THEY CAN'T POSSIBLY THINK YOU ARE OBJECTIVE, THAT... |
| 01:15:20 |
|
AND HERE'S THE THING -- I AM, THOUGH. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME. IN THE RUSH LIMBAUGH... |
| 01:15:41 |
|
NOBODY READ THE BOOK, AL. NOBODY IS GOING TO CHALLENGE IT. I DIDN'T READ THE BOOK. RISH LIMBAUGH IS... |
| 01:15:53 |
|
NO, NO, NO. EVEN JOHN FUND T GUY WHO CO-WROTE RUSH'S FIRST BOOK SAID YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. THERE... |
| 01:16:37 |
|
LOOK, IF THIS IS ALL YOU GOT, WE'VE GOT IT, AL. YOU'RE PATHETIC IF THIS IS ALL YOU'VE GOT AFTER SIX... |
| 01:16:45 |
|
I TOLD YOU IT ISN'T. IT ISN'T LIKE THAT. I GOT A LOT MORE. |
| 01:16:53 |
|
FIT'S AS LAME AS THAT, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. |
| 01:16:56 |
|
I HAVE A WONDERFUL IDEA. I'M GOING TO ASK THE PUBLISHERS OF ALL THREE OF THESE AUTHORS -- |
| 01:17:02 |
|
TO HAVE A PARTY? |
| 01:17:04 |
|
TO PLEASE SEND COMPLIMENTARY BOOKS OF EACH AUTHOR ON THE DIAS. |
| 01:17:10 |
|
I WOULD GLADLY READ MISS IVINS BOOK. |
| 01:17:13 |
|
I THINK WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE READING LESSON HERE AND SEE WHERE WE ALL COME OUT AT THE END. DO WE HAVE... |
| 01:17:22 |
|
BILL, I THINK IT WILL HELP SALES IF YOU TALK ABOUT MY BOOK ON YOUR SHOW. |
| 01:17:30 |
|
OK. YOU GET THE LAST QUESTION, YOU LUCKY DOLL. |
| 01:17:35 |
|
WELL. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL THE SPEAKERS FOR A LIVELY LUNCH. [APPLAUSE] |
| 01:17:47 |
|
IT STRIKES ME THAT THE DIALOGUE IS GOOD ENTERTAINMENT, BUT AT ANOTHER LEVEL, IT ACTUALLY IS OF SOME... |
| 01:18:40 |
|
I'LL TAKE THAT FIRST. I WORK WITH POLITICAL HUMOR A LOT BECAUSE I FIND THAT IF YOU CAN GET PEOPLE... |
| 01:20:57 |
|
WHENEVER YOU HAVE MONEY IN POWER, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE STRIFE. AND THROUGH THE YEARS OF OUR REPUBLIC,... |
| 01:23:21 |
|
AL? |
| 01:23:28 |
|
I CONSIDER MYSELF A NICE GUY. AND I DON'T LIKE VITUPERATION, BUT I'VE -- I FEEL SOMETIMES -- SOMETIMES... |
| 01:25:20 |
|
AL, EXCUSE ME, THE TITLE OF THE BOOK IS LIAR, LIAR, BIG LIAR, AND YOU ARE ADVANCING THE CAUSE OF CIVILITY?... |
| 01:25:28 |
|
FIRST OF ALL, THAT IS NOT THE TITLE OF THE BOOK, BUT IT'S CLOSE. |
| 01:25:32 |
|
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I AM GLAD YOU ARE HERE TO SEE IT. |
| 01:25:37 |
|
ANYWAY, THE THING IS, BILL, IF YOU -- YOU KEPT SAYING THE THING ABOUT THAT'S ALL YOU'VE GOT ABOUT... |
| 01:26:36 |
|
AND WITH THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I THINK IT IS TIME THAT WE THANK OUR AUTHORS. THANK OUR AUDIENCE.... |
