book tv attended a party for the book and demonic by ann coulter. she spoke briefly before sitting down to sign books and chat with guests. this is about half an hour. [inaudible conversations] [applause] >> i didn't get that kind of reaction before. [laughter] i'm mike gonzalez the vp of

communications at heritage. welcome. she is the author of seven "new york times" bestsellers and the new one out called demotic. it's very funny my colleagues know when i read in an effort colleagues to the columns because i'm laughing like a madman in my office but it's more than funny. she is witty and clever and courageous, she tackles issues that many will not. she stands up for her beliefs where others were in the that is because she is the convictions. she understands conservatism. many of us here obviously, but in the audience somewhere i want to recognize to people. my attorney general ed meese who is the ronald reagan fellow policy of the legal studies here the heritage foundation. [applause] and one more stan. are you here?

he hasn't made it yet. he told me he is coming. he's the author and he really wanted to come and he will make it the reason i'm recognizing them is because they are conservative icons. they are lines of traditional values and ann coulter is a mother figure of conservatism. please, should we make remarks now that she will take questions from you and afterwards she will sign. i will ask that -- unfortunately we may not have time for pictures, so this is the signing first and then afterwards if there is time she will take pictures with you if there is time. would you like to take some questions. [applause] >> thank you for coming. thank you. >> thank you. i really wanted to speak after the books lining because it turns out to the are serving the area and one unit. [laughter] the ideal audience for me are right-wing a little clicker that. [laughter] and i don't have prepared

remarks for the book to come out. i never imagined looking at when the book is coming out who has a look to you will be competing with on the amazon on the list. i never in a million years of marriage and i would be competing with something called weinergate. [laughter] but at least unlike anthony wiener you can tell if i'm happy even if i'm standing behind the podium. [laughter] i assume you have all had a chance to read some of our new interviews in the last ten days, but i will just quickly say demonic is a description of the mall. mobs are always the monica and demons are always mobs, and i described the democratic party and liberalism as a mob starting with the french revolution, the revolt of the mob. it's been that way for 200 years and in the process of writing this book i now suddenly understand liberals any way i never did before.

i consider myself something of an expert on liberals with the few things that always confused me for it civil paul krugman, frank rich, jonathan alter, they must be spared or a least they did well on their s.a.t. test because they all went to very good colleges and yet they seem so stupid. [laughter] in the that is explained as proud psychology. they think people in a crowd will lose some of their intelligence no matter how the conspiracies they will turn their components into enemies to adjust every point of the group think. this is the psychology part. beautifully described the liberals and not in a way that i think you can turn around and say the same thing about conservatives. that is all i will say about the book right now because you were all getting a copy tonight. but i would love to take questions because then i don't

need prepared remarks. [laughter] actually i love the view. i've been on four times. we have a great time every time except one when they all yelled at me and i'd have to wait for a pause to get something out and that was the only time barbara walters was on the show. by the process of elimination. i think the rest of them are lovely girls. and actually it's been kind of weird because instantly liberals on a small plate in my book, twisted arm around, turn it in and that is the only thing i talked about for the next month which gets really tedious and the radio interviews and for the first time and actually being asked about the book which on the one hand is great and

researching and writing a book and i feel to talk about it. on the other hand i worry that without a massive catfight my book sales will suffer. [laughter] >> it looks like your boyte chris christy isn't running. who's next? >> i would like to say that i believe chris christie does not run he will go from being my love to my enemy for life. [laughter] and now designing my parachute so i can buy it in the i really do thing he should one fervor and thing that the country needs you. i think he is head and shoulders above the other candidates who are fantastic. one thing worth noting is every single republican in the late monday night is better than john mccain. [applause] if it's not that i intensely dislike any adverse but people mainstream media against. if you need a star, chris christa also won a governorship

of the most left-wing states in the union. i was shocked when he won. i was never lost that on that. i don't think it is a guarantee that he will win the election that will be a loser the next time he runs for your planning on running for president in six years and third we have an amazing republican team coming up that the attorney general of virginia if he runs for governor he is like chris christi stunningly articulate, which is it some things were republicans and there were candidates usually can't put to sentences get one to talk that would be something. we have christi attorney general kansas if he runs for governor, same thing. marco rubio is turning out to be a fantastic. alan weston he goes back to florida he can run for president. so, we have all of this amazing talent and it is not going to be a cakewalk for chris christi particularly because i will be his sworn enemy if he does not run this time.

>> how tall are you? dahlia 66. >> i think about 8-foot seven. give or take. fy >> [inaudible] >> right. this should be and we are counting on the heritage foundation, this should be in all of you on capitol hill this should be a good year for the republicans in the senate. unfortunately, you know, in 2010 we had a lot of enthusiasm, a lot in her about obamacare, but it was just the look of the draw. t have good senate seats that even though the democrats

hold a vast 60 or 70% or held 60 or 70% of the senate it was about 50/50 republicans and democrats who were up for election, like barbara boxer. they were in the solid blue states. so we didn't have many opportunities in the last election to pick up the senate seats. but that changes next year and it changes three years from now. those are too fantastic years and the senate for republicans and i don't know how republicans are going to blow which ensure they will come up with something and it is your job to stop them. [laughter] >> i just want to add that we are part of the book forced to use bixby for for coming to the first of all. do you think that liberals coming into nseries about this, have a clue about the spiritual component to white conservatives are loath to? you don't have to like our policy but it goes beyond that, doesn't it? >> yeah, that is covered more extensively in my book about

three books back, god bless the church of liberalism, and i think that explains why you do see all of the mob psychology characteristics on the left and you really don't see it among the right way you don't see it among republicans, and we know from the polls that most republicans believe in god and most democrats don't and the ones who claim they do are running for office and they are lobbying, and if you believe in god is a vertical relationship. you don't have to care what people say in the crowd around you and in fact, the christians kind of like to be hated because christ said we would one day so it makes us feel macho whereas if you don't have an up or down relationship with god, then we don't have to care what the people around you think and that is when you want approval from the imaginary "new york times" editor in your head listening to your every a flirtation. we are hoping that jon stewart

will say anything about you or were like you. we don't care about people don't you think it so that is why the liberals don't believe in god, so they are obsessed with what people around them think. okay. two more questions. >> what advice do you have for young people on the college campuses? >> first of all, don't go to law school. if you're for your life away let the liberals go to law school to read because unless you are going to be a sum that trial lawyer like john edwards you won't be making that much money working weekends the rest of your life and there are good jobs. i met somebody with the strangest job. what was it? i forgot i said to her did you know you were going to be doing this in college and she left.

it was a crazy job that we didn't know existed. the person who designed food for tv commercials in it so that it looks attractive, the lighting, help you put it on the plate. there are a lot of jobs out there and i think the conservatives should all be giving in to the media. to hollywood to become public school teachers and the pay is fantastic. [laughter] college professors and they can teach me a few tricks. if you are an open avowed republican on the campus you are apparently not going with the flow, and that is where you first see them you are sucking up to their professors. teacher, i found another example of homophobia in hamlet. no, that's fine. settle down so you don't need a

device to read some of the republicans of course it was college republicans who came up with the catching the illegal alien game where i am just rolled over in admiration with and the affirmative action. so i don't think i need to teach college republicans anything. but i will tell you the truth is inherently appealing and a lot of college kids don't have political belief yet. that is why constantly coming and speaking is the risk of the physical violence. i figured, you know, about half the audience they don't have clearly defined political beliefs yet. i the only conservative they are going to hear in four years of college, and i've had a lot of things like this happen but i will just give you one of syracuse university couple of years ago i was out to dinner afterwards and one of them keeps telling me what they say it the green meeting. they said this and that. i said are you a secret poll? and they said no use to be green

and so you've made the change the only person after line 11 so it does make a difference for kids who are just forming their opinions and if you speak the truth is inherently appealing. >> thank you for stopping by giving it i would like to read to quote ask you to comment on both of them. one you may know well from page 14. as long as democrats can win elections they're perfectly happy to turn america into a banana republic with a country drowning in debt and medicare and social security putting us on a high-speed train to bankruptcy the entire democratic party refuses to deal with entitlements. the second quote american people want us to cut spending because they know cutting spending will create a better environment for job creation to try to model the current issue with the program, tax increases that is what the next budget priced to the co is for we will have plenty of opportunities to talk about that march 3rd, 2011. the speaker of the house of representatives.

it is safe to say that both parties have a pretty unreliable record on pursuing entitlement? [laughter] >> yes, there is and we are picking out on most choice quotes from the book. the one on social security reform would not be yet and still to be i've said this to the republican audiences. they complain about their politicians and their chickens. sometimes they are not being chickens they are responding to the people and that is the thing about the tea party movement is that you have americans who have not really been thinking about politics. they are busy, they have jobs. social and security medicare are set up as ponzi schemes. i don't know if you watch msnbc as obsessively as i do but they are constantly in announcing the ids some sort of insults like when you're using the n word against social security or calling it a ponzi scheme.

it is the definition of a ponzi scheme. incoming money goes out to current recipients. that is bernie madoff's point. and the creator of the social security knew perfectly well they were creating a ponzi scheme. everyone would love them and they would be dead and buried before it went bankrupt and that's what happened. but we have to be able to educate people about that. i think the republicans instead of proposing plans to reform social security and medicare should do nothing but go on tv and talk about the problems are. how it's going to be bankrupt in ten years, how the recipients are receiving three times what they paid in. just keep talking about the problem and let's hear what the democrats have to say.

[inaudible] tune it's unfair to throw michele bachman in the same boat as sarah palin. i think that she emerged from that comparison monday night. i think that michele bachman is magnificent and i also think you the house of representatives. so, if any of you are from minnesota you ought to go back and do organizing so she can run for governor or senator. thank you. the take my orders. >> thank you very much.
