good the bad of the very very bad troy to slee arguably the good congressman alan adam smith of washington state smith was on fox and friends this morning and schooled the troop talking heads on the specifics of the fiscal cliff deal and president obama's rule of debate take a look. i mean you can say well he's. sure leadership but now what you're saying is he showed leadership but nobody else was willing to right so it's really hard to blame the present sure i'm just anxious a long geale that's just me but i think it is that what we're talking about the president really also make the point to speaker boehner the republicans what have they put on the table in terms of specifics i absolutely don't want to play as well the week when the closer to us you know the budget is not an appropriations bill right and the budget said across the board we will cut ten percent we're not going to tell you what we're not going to tell you where we're just going to imagine that it's going to happen in terms of specific spending cuts the president to actually put more on the table during this last thing go she ation then the so-ca

martha: joined by alan colmes, host of the "alan colmes radio show" and tucker carlson, editor, daily caller and foxntributor. good to have you here. i'm kind of two minds about issue and you guys are probably of two minds as well. alan, what do you think, good move or not? >> i think it is a great move. these are kids that wrote to the president, doing it with their parents, with the permission of the their parents. senior bills, affect seniors, when george w. bush signed no child left behind there were children there. how is this any different than any other piece of legislation that affects a group that has particular interest and the group is present when the signing takes place? martha: yeah. >> or when the announcement takes place. martha: the children wrote letters to the president, tucker. and they have been asked to stand by him. they're having their voices heard in america. what is wrong with that? >> well, this is not, this is very serious, very adult and incredibly complicated issue and to bring children on stage is to engage in a kind of moral blackmail. if you're against this legislati

alan colmes, host of alan colmes radio show, tucker carlson editor of "the daily caller" and fox newsributor. great to have you both on. >> happy new year. bill: happy new year to both of you. i don't know, tucker, i guess if you thought this fiscal deal was a big matter, buckle up. >> well the president says he won't debate it. he will debate it. this will be a debate. nobody argues a debate over the fiscal cliff is the best way to cut spending but there is no other way. it is not a republican talking point to say the debt is out of the control. at end of the bush administration the debt equaled 65% of the gdp we're now over 115% of gdp our debt is bigger --. bill: that is double. >> so using this debate as he have leverage not to not pay our bills, that is talking point that is false thing the president said, but to curtail future spending is really the only option. the ps has shown no willness seriousness to cut significant spending period. bill: alan, what do you think about that. >> there congress, if they really cared about the debt and really cared about the financial security

alan zweibel talks about his experience talking about launching "saturday night live." and my political panel talks about who will enter >> john: thank you, god for rush limbaugh and our friends at fox news. if it wasn't for them, the tyrant obama would get away with this whole fascist socialist kenyan agenda. when it comes to immigration nothing stands in king obama's way. well almost nothing. >> thanks to obama now you have amnesty unless you get convicted of a major felony. so i don't know that there's any stopping this. it's up to me and fox news and i think fox news has invested in this. >> john: it is not only immigration reform. they have worked tirelessly to protect us from equal rights for women and marriage equality and any kind of sensible gun control. thank you, rush for protecting us just like the oxy oxycontin flects you from the pain of being who you really are. comedian kevin mccaffrey editor and chief of the editor, tina dupuy and mr. christian finnegan. he says he and fox news are all that stands between obama's agenda and america. the sad question, isn't he kind of right? >> yeah. that's the definition of conservative right? someone who yells no more brown people.
