sean hannity had austan austan goolsbee. >> president had nancy pelosi in the house and harry reid in the senate. he got the budgets passed, stimulus passed, healthcare bill passed and we still have $1 trillion deficits. wait a minute. he failed. we have fewer americans working today. $5 trillion in debt. you are going to tell the american people that is a success? >> you are trying to switch it around. >> got to focus here. >> your first charge is that the president say he would cut the deficit in half and he didn't. now i remind you when -- >> he broke his promise. he failed. >> no. it was off of the 1.3 trillion deficit that he was left with. >> eric: nice job, sean. meanwhile, president panel bam spent today in battleground state of ohio. here is a clip. >> you know this country wasn't built from the top

down. it was built by the middle class. it was built by farmers. and factory workers. and startups. and small businesses. >> eric: wait a minute. farmers, factory workers, startups, small businesses built america? >> if you've got a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. >> eric: oh, my gosh. you agree. could you believe he went and said farmers, small businesses, startups built america. >> dana: if you are in ohio, and you are an obama supporter or maybe undecided or leaning democrat, you're not sure and you heard that speech, not the one that you didn't build that peach, if you heard that speech you'd say that is my guy. you would -- he sounded a lot better. messaging was good. it asked about austan goolsbee. he is a good sport. a really nice guy.

he's trying to defend a lot of things that are indefensible. but my problem for them is how do they pivot and talk about if the record is not good. but then what policy do we have to propose that we would do a second term to make things better? that is totally missing from the conversation. >> greg: it takes guts for austan goolsbee to come on hannity to sell this economy. it's like bringing a hooker to a funeral. you are going to lose. >> kimberly: are you sure? >> greg: yes. to my funeral, no. it's not about obama. it's about romney. romney has to go after obama the way hannity went after goolsbee. the next debates in my opinion are the biggest debates in my lifetime. because you are talking about taking the ultra progressive and you have a person that has to counter those arguments or you're going to have four more years of the faculty lounge. it will have to channel his ener newt. we all have ant.

>> kimberly: great point. people may disagree or whatever with newt about some stuff but his messaging is great, on point and fires it up. people want to see that, eric bolling. >> eric: what i was going to ask you is president obama trying to change the rhetoric, trying to change the debate. small businesses. factory workers. he said you didn't build that. >> kimberly: but listen, because he realizeizes that was oops! i took a truth serum and i told people what i really think. that is not going to get me anywhere. i'll try to slide back to say something. he doesn't have anything else to sell. what will he say he will do in four years? four more years of this? it will be disastrous. >> bob: four more years of this as four years of romney. i'm glad to see you brought that up again. are we going to make this 143 shows in a row to bring it up? in ohio, one of the key target states where obama is far ahead of romney. here is one of the things you have to think about. when pew research did a story,

did a poll on obama, they said 98% of the people knew what they needed to know about obama. a lot of it was negative, but they knew it. two-third of them are not sure they know enough about romney. that goes back to the question, he can beat up obama all he wants. the messages are out there and settled. he doesn't make a case for himself. if you call what he has said so far, he will put up trillions more in debt. >> greg: that is the point of the debate. right now you have candidates who aren't talking to each other. once the debate happens, you have mitt romney who is going to have to go after a very set ideology. take it apart. if he doesn't, it's over. >> bob: that is where you are wrong. he is going to have to say what he will do. >> kimberly: he will cut taxes and less spending and less regulation. >> eric: no, he doesn't. absolutely he does not. mitt romney doesn't have to win this election. obama is going to lose it. >> bob: those are settled. 9 #% of the electorate is decided about obama. >> eric: whatever. >> bob: whatever.

memoirs before he was 45, that would be good. >> kimberly: i hear what bob is saying. >> president obama spent couple hundred of million dollars already. is dana right he should have saved that money? kept the powder dry for september, october? >> kimberly: what value is he getting? i like a good sale and good bargain. i don't think he got his money's worth. >> bob: the field organization is second to none. >> dana: obama? >> bob: yeah. darren they have a good one. but -- >> dana: they have a good one. but romney can want spend it until he's nominated officially. they just announced today that they just spent, did an $8.2 million buy for a week coming up. it's coming. people are just going to have to wait. >> bob: they are still missing it fundamentally, a basic principle. tell people good things about yourself. >> eric: all right. coming up next, the big tea party win for candidate. in the texas senate race. democrats give a huge prime

there. >> dana: is that how they get the hair like that? >> bob: don't you find that -- >> kimberly: i like the hair. >> bob: he's never been an athlete -- >> dana: i like it because olympics is more than -- it's like football. the marketing has been good to bring more women watching football and enjoying it. seeing seacrest brings in young people and women that might not have watched the sports. >> bob: what do you think of this? >> greg: marketing sports to women you have to have people who don't know sports to do it? >> dana: yes. >> eric: i think he is fantastic. "american idol," the top 40 radio show. look at it this way. you watch football or baseball. there is always a color commentator and analyst who used to play the sport. seacrest is the ultimate color commentator. m.c., he oversees it all. >> bob: but most of the

venues have the color commentary person and the analysts are both -- >> dana: i have another example. the national dog show. airs every thanksgiving day. john o'hurely who played peterson in seinfeld is a color commentary. he's a good entertain sore people watch the show because of him. >> bob: do you remember the westminster dog show? best in show. the woman ran around and fell on the court. >> eric: "best in show" the movie. >> kimberly: my gosh. >> bob: she weighed 300 pounds. >> kimberly: ryan seacrest is rumored to be the today show to replace matt lauer. widely circulated as he is talking with "today show" with al and the whole thing. he rates. everything he is involved with, wins.

>> eric: the guy, the show, the guy that did politics his own life is introducing segments on video and ryan seacrest -- >> bob: because a liberal is forced to the back of the bus. >> dana: today was the first day i heard badminton was an olympic sport. >> greg: but there is a scandal, the badminton players might have thrown the matches to get a better seed. this is rocking the badminton world. it's in chaos. if you go to manhattan there are badminton players weeping on every corner. what are you going to tell the children, the children who play badminton whose souls are crushed by the information? >> dana: this tells you something about doing business today in a global economy. if people grow up and know it's okay to cheat and you get to business -- >> greg: it's badminton. >> bob: this is a wimpy sport. one more thing is next!
