it's an honor to be here with brent bozell, tireless watchdog of the media, and you have to be tireless because the task is literally endless. brent, i'm curious about what you would have thought if you had known when you started your enterprise the media would be more biased than when you began. but we look forward to the media research center outlasting "the new york times." [applause] >> and it's an honor to be here with my colleague, rick brookhiser, a writer and history yap whose talents bill buckley absolutely delighted in. it's nice to be able to dwell on what was a happier time for the right, recounted in this book, after the '06 and the '08 election, we have had causes, consecutives to -- conservatives to recall the words of senator mo udall which were, the voters have spoken, the bastards. [laughter] >> in the brief time allotted to me this afternoon, i just want to share five thoughts occasioned by the "the reagan i knew" first, politicians are more populists than intellectuals but doesn't excuse politicians from being well-informed and well-read. an anecdote that bill idea t

joining us now, brent bozell. sir, how are you? >> brother hannity, how are we doing?at's interesting? they are so in love with obama. the rationalizations they make. we'll start with the big networks saying it's saving americans from crappy, dangerous coverage. the plan they want to keep. they are doing them a favor. just forgetting the fact that the president promised if you like your plan you can keep it. roll tape. >> some people will see their health plans change. it goes against what we heard president obama promise. the white house is saying it might not or will not be a bad thing. >> insurance companies offered cheap insurance like julie's left out basics now required by obama care. >> julie tells us that she doesn't have hospital care on this cheap insurance plan. is that dangerous? >> absolutely. >> these 14 million people that buy insurance on the individual marketplace, some of them are going to get because they have crappy insurance. >> having the president make a promise he had no control to keep. making the promise if you like your health care plan you c

president of the media research center brent bozel. >> brother hannity. isn't this fun?oying myself a little bit. >> you almost can't make this up. we pointed out for years that certain news outlets are are basically an extension of the obama press office. let's start with nbc saying conservatives -- they didn't make the problem if you like your plan, keep your plan. like your doctor, keep your doctor, $2500 per family per year savings, no, the president did. they say conservatives need to apologize. that's how blank backwards they have it. >> many of the same people that feel betrayed now will be thanking the president later. these are people in so-called junk plans that could bankrupt them or their families if they got sick. >> the apology should be coming from the conservatives. the conservatives should apologize for having no plan and no option for any of the people you have seen illustrated on this program. they should be apologizing to 50 million americans who have been without insurance because, damn it, they have been sick. >> on health care instead of playing fr

because brent bozell was on with sean hannity saying that wasn't the case.t it was going to cost more. >> well, let's be clear. the plans they had, they got these letters that many persons are getting from the insurance company saying their plans are being cancelled and it was going to be replaced by a new plan that may or may not be more expensive. now that's just -- you know, that's what the insurance companies do all of the time. and have done for the last decade. raising premiums 15% a year or whatever it is. what they're doing there is, they're using the advent of obama care as an excuse to do what they do anyway, and they're making it look like they're being forced to do it and it's somebody else's fall. >> your journal -- excuse me. your journalistic final analysis is that sean hannity was not telling the truth or reporting the truth. >> he was telling -- it was about 8% of what he was saying was true. >> you've got to tell the truth in this business. eric stern, good to have you -- >> look -- >> go ahead. final comment. >> well, what sean hannity and

first one, williams who was there, brent bozelle, but he can see through the spin. >> mostly as you saidyou look at the president's falling poll numbers, it's democrats and independents that have been buying off. >> the wheels have come off this administration. they're bringing in the shock troops. these are the shock troops that will do the outrageous for him. these are people used to make vile statements, character assassination statements. he's not bringing them in in spite of those actions. he's bringing them in because of those actions. >> so let's see, i just don't think the president fully understands and the people around him clearly don't that this is real. that nobody care, democrat or republican, there is more stories today about senior level administrators working in congress who have now finding themselves canceled or the premiums way too high on insurance plans you can't afford. >> california rejecting the fix that the president put forward. certainly a crisis in terms of obamacare that we're heading into, despite distraction, we're still focused on what's going on. >> and
