bill bennett's "morning in america." let's get rolling., across the globe from its bill bennett's "morning in america" live from the bulova studio, here's bill. >> i'm always happy to hear that, the chiffons, one fine day. but, you know, what bothers me, you have to relive from the beginning so we have to make room for the voiceover. it's a radio requirement because there are not that many bbox in the song. to more doo-wop is added. >> we wanted the timing. >> i know. the demand of the technology. good morning, everybody. november 4, it is a fine day, still a fine day, still reacting to the selection. we are joined by pete wehner, senior fellow at the ethics public policy center. did you know this? i want to tell my audience this, i'm sure you did, i didn't know it, but, you know, a lot of things i don't know. house democrats lack many things that money wasn't one of them. two-thirds of the house seats of republicans picked up democrat candidate had more money behind them than republicans. >> caller: yeah, if you take labor and outside gro

my bet is he'll put money where he wants it to be spent in 2012. >> bill bennett, as you look at -- i outside, as you look at these democrats and the whole george so rompb s comments if in fact they are true but his role in the democratic party, what goes through your mind? >> well, i mean he's money bucks. he's a money bags. and, you know he obviously has some influence. for the sake of my party i hope they listen to george soros, for the sake of the country i hope they don't. if he's complaining that president obama has not gone far enough left he should look what we just talked about. the country thinks, sent a clear stop to barack obama. soros wants to push him to the left. doesn't make sense. they have to deal with him. he's a big player in that party. that party has gone to the left in my view and it's an administration that's to the left of the country. to be fair i think you have a congress that's to the right of the country. so we shall see how this plays out. >> we certainly shall. guys, thanks very much. >>> jack cafferty is is nancy pelosi remaining as house minority leade

when i look at the speakers, it's same old, same old, it's bill bennett, ed mease, dick armey. >> sure. well, i will tell you on sunday, we took advantage of the time we had here. we interviewed potential candidates for chief of staff. we were not able to attend any of those functions and organizations and the meetings that they had because we felt we needed to get a drop on maximizing our time here. as far as attending those, i was not able to do so, so i can't really go into what was said or how it was said or how it was interpreted. >> congresswoman bass, tell me about your minutiae. did you pick out your office? do you know where to park? did they give you the pledge pin yet? >> we don't have the pin until we are sworn in on january 5th. we pick our offices on friday. we have been involved in the day-to-day work of what it means to be in office. i was sworn in six years ago in the state assembly. >> that's a pretty quick career path for you. six years ago and you've been the speaker of the california assembly. >> in california, we have very strict term limits. and so, that's right.

. >> earlier today, we have a live simulcast of bill bennett's radio show. we'll show you a portion of the program. >> reformer speaker of the house -- here is the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. >> good morning. >> what about this one compared to that one? >> when you look at the size of the victories, we picked up 18 chambers, zero from the democrats of the legislative level. we took a couple key governorships. in a funny way, it builds on the virginia and new jersey elections almost exactly the way that 1994 did. people need to remember that there were a lot more republican seats this year. when the cycle began, people thought republicans would be lucky to get out 40 seats. the way that we have gained strength and you have 21 democrats and 10 republicans, there's a very high likelihood republicans will finish the job and take the senate. we're making progress on every front. >> let's talk about what to do. i approach this at the philosophical level. you can do that, too. people say compromise, don't compromise, and the example we were using wa

strategist, hilary rosen, and the cnn political contribute for of the national radio talk show host bill bennettng this, because he's been involved, as you know, raising a lot of money, helping the tea party movement. listen to. >> there's no difference of objective point of view. there is a complimentary effort for us all to come together to make this new republican majority the most responsive majority to the will and the needs of the american people than that which we will have seen in our lifetime. i think i dare say speaker john boehner understands this, as well as we do. >> bill, you're well plugged in, in the republican circles, conservative circles. is there a split between the tea party movement and the republican leadership, the republican establishment? >> i don't think anything major. >> earmarks, major differences on earmarks. >> we've had fights about earmarks before. i think we'll get resolution to this. there's a new group of people who have not been in washington. in fact, people who haven't been elected to office at all, many of them, and they have a different point of view tha

bill bennett. >> thank you. [applause] >> are you kidding? you're thrilled that i'm here with this lineup? i'll spare you. not dined alone but i was once in the room with ronald reagan and margaret thatcher. after a minute they said the children will leave. we have work to do. this is a thrill and a great and exciting day for me. when we came on you might have noticed the sequence. christy barber bennett that's a power sweep coming around the side. a new fashioned look called bulky chic. we're a great and diverse party and a big party. michael barone, the guy who makes these big studies of elections said this may have been all things considered the biggest republican victory ever when you lock at what happened. in the house and senate federal level, the governors, wonderful new group of governors we have here and the state houses. extraordinary victory. two years ago i remember haley barber said get your chin up. don't look at your feet. get your head

bill bennett. [applause]

bill bennett, our moderator. [applause] >> are you kidding? you were thrilled i'm here with this lineup? i was once in a room with ronald reagan and margaret thatcher for about a minute and a said, adults can leave. it's a thrill and a great and exciting day for me. when we came on, you might have noticed the power sweeping coming around the left side. the new fashioned look called bookie she -- bulky chic. we are a great endeavors party and a big party. [laughter] this may have been the biggest republican victory ever. the governors, a wonderful new group of governors we have here. an extraordinary victory. haley barbour said things are going to get better two years ago. you were right. the was brief discussion of changing the name of the republican party. now there is a discussion on the other side to changing their name to republican-right, or republican-left, as the case may be. good policy is good politics. these are leaders appear. my job is to introduce them. the governors of the elected officials closest to the people. the employment p

turnover in the fourth after the bills took the lead and they would get that turnover a tim jennings interception. set up the game winning touchdown when cutler finds earl bennettthe corner of the end zone. greg olsen spoke about the benefit of the defense creating turnovers. >> the a turnovers that our defense forces at key moments to give us good field position this last week was prime example. we got two, one about mid-field on the fumble on third and one and tim's big interception. you know, for an offense that's huge, having the short fields and you have to convert touchdowns and fortunately we did. it's pretty nice for an offense when you come running on the field after a big turnover especially when you have the ball in their territory. >>> search of the next nine games for the blackhawks will be on the road and may to be their benefit. hosting the oilers last night, fernando fires a wrister passed bowland up 1-0 and then curtis foster ties the game at one. less than 15 disekds later sam granger finds net to put the oilers up 2-1. the hawks lose by the same score and drop their sixth game at the united center this year. >>> that's a look at sports. your

bill frist. while he is more well known for his quiet, contemplative misdemeanor, senator bennett has always been an outstanding orator. he comes often to the floor to discuss various issues at length, rarely reading from notes and almost never skipping a beat. his contributions to our debates here in the senate have always been very valuable, and i think people on both sides of the aisle will acknowledge that and have appreciated the type of advocacy that he has brought to the floor of the senate. always courteous, always well thought out, always reasonable and always, in my opinion, right. as i mentioned before, i know of few senators who have match senator bennett's commitment to the people he represents. every single person in the state of utah has benefited from the work of senator bennett. one cannot ride on a train or drive on a freeway in utah or avail themselves of so many other assets and attributes in utah without seeing the results of senator bennett's service in the senate. our state has seen a lot of growth in recent years due to the expansion of our population and the fact that mor

we greatly appreciate it, and your bill is a very if enacted would be a very important step forward. as i said in response to mr. bennett's earlier, what mr. lowman just said is over time we will see that a mod will be offered, and the problem is over time means that there are going to be tens and hundreds and perhaps millions of foreclosure that occur until you get to that point where loan modification is offered before for closure, and over time if you're waiting for over time you're going to see millions of dollars of fees piled on to homeowners accounts which makes the modification much more difficult. >> final word. the chairman has been very, very gracious but i think it's important just to remember that hamp -- the modification only place to hamp and only about one of six loans that is currently 60 plus days delinquent is hamp eligibles we have a problem of hamp being a program that has had to back narrow a focus and that really doesn't solve the problem. >> thanks, mr. chairman. >> attorney general miller, the outset of my opening comments i talked about the importance of getting this financial stability council t

is stunning to me to see people like senator bennett from utah solidly conservative senator lose his arena on the nation because he voted for that t.a.r.p. bill's examples on both sides, i'm sure, but, yes, we have a very, very polarized situation and one hopes -- there's two things that can happen in november. i think it's clear that the dynamics are going to be somewhat different whether, you know, i believe that democrats will retain control of both chambers, but there's going to be a lot more republicans, and everybody will acknowledge that, and there's the one interpretation that is with equal, relatively equal numbers, the responsibilities will be shared. that's the one we're going to work for. the other interpretation was and maybe it was on your show and senator demint said my goal is gridlock. i don't think that's a promising prospect. i hope the voices of civility and senator collins is one of those resist that, and we'll work for that as well. i think you'll see after the election, we'll make every effort to work with the group that is there because there is so many things that are challenging this country right now, and i think we
