san antonio, you are on with ann coulter. two minutes left. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. thank you to ann coulter. really appreciate seeing you on tv and speaking the truth about things. i am a captain in the military stationed in fort san houston in san antonio and i came in the military 19 years old. i have been deployed three times. i know right now, speak about government employees and stuff and take away their pensions. i am a government employee. you think you should take away my pension? >> host: we are running out of time. got the question. >> guest: matt is a public-school teacher because no captain in the military would have called in with that question. point two, to go through underrated periods all i can say is i don't think it is underrated. our founding was miraculously. is there one that we don't appreciate? our founding was a miracle. i do think most americans appreciate that. not the ones who have been for public schools and talk like our last caller. they are not taught to appreciate the foundin

could be the best of ann coulter according according to you? >> guest: it's more of a quote book, yeah. >> host: here's one quote: >> host: steven in south jordan, utah, you're on "in depth." good afternoon. >> caller: hi, ann. i'd like to thank you for all that you've done. i don't really have a question, but i have some comments about religion between the conservative and the liberals. there are principles, conservative principles that have applied and acted upon that are conduct today the social, spiritual and economic well being of individuals as well as nations. and these principles came from god himself, and they formed a foundation of civilized society, and they're commonly referred to as the ten commandment pes. what the liberals have done in probably the last 50 years is turn these into the ten inconvenient truths. and you can go back to lyndon johnson's great society, his welfare program. he turned honor thy father and mother into honor thai mother and big government. and we can see what that's done to the black families and a lot of

are you are you surprised ann coulter and tom delay are going after gingrich? >> gingrich ruffled a lot of grerjs for a lot of reasons here in washington. remember he was the boogie man of the left. they thought he was a pretty effective spokesman for conservatives. i looked at the cover of the "weekly standard" from 1995 there was a cover of gingrich with him with some kind of gun, a permanent offense. basically he was face in the mid-90s of conservatism. he's the character of the left but embraced by the right. you look at the club for girls web site. they say he was a follower, defender of the free yernt prize principles but then, he kind of wanders off, right,? supporting tax credits for bio fuels and hydrogen cars and stuff like that. there are things like that this he does that kind of makes you wonder if it gets into office is he going to start pushing through a cap and trade program? >> there are tax credits for alta tiff energy i think is a good thing for the nation. >> right. right. i'm just telling you what they're thinking. right. bill. let's not fo

coulter is here and you don't get more conservative than coulter. >> simply put she believes bad for conservative. >> talking to coulter off camera. pretty tough on gingrich. i'm surprised because i was. when coulter came out and started banging gingrich like she bangs the left. i went whoa. so you know what it's all about? i'm not giving away anything. because i think ann would probably tell you the same thing. it's all about coulter and other people in the republic hierarchy who really have a dog in the hunt. because they despise president obama. that's what binds all of these conservatives together. >> they want to beat obama as do i. >> they don't think that gingrich can do it. they simply don't think that he can beat him in the general election. too polarized. don't think that women and minorities are going to give him a look. rom? i a much smoother presentation. >> women turned out for gingrich in south carolina. he won over an enormous amount of people. >> bill: it's different though. >> it is what it is. all i'm saying is go back to the mid 1990s. newt gingrich was the face o

>>> 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

ann coulter is smart but very radical. all these people all ganging up. they are really afraid. >> this reminds me of, you remember delaware last year when that -- when mike castle was supposed to cruise to the nomination and everyone was throwing rose petals in front of him. and then the little tea party candidate named o'donnell jumped in the race and suddenly upended the whole thing. the establishment figured out about six days before that she was coasting for victory. they brought up all the guns. they did everything they could to stop her. guess what happened? she got nominated. that's what's going on in florida. it's what happened with rubio and crist. this train is rolling down the tracks and the establishment is trying to stop it. they may be too late. >> ron christie, i didn't know you were as far over as you were. i thought you were more moderate republican. no, seriously. i'm amazed you don't believe in evolution and in mankind's effect. i thought those were established facts. but it seems your party wants to have the wild people, the tea party

ann coulter's books include god less, guilty, and her latest, "demonic." >> host: ann coulter, in yourook "how to talk to a liberal if you must," you have ten rules of engaging a liberal. here are some of them. >> host: never compliment, never show graciousness? >> guest: it seems like there's a little overlap in those, but i wanted to be absolutely clear. [laughter] and, of course, the first one would not be necessary if you didn't have some elected republicans who are constantly trying to fall in the good graces of "the new york times" and, i mean, i don't, i haven't read the book recently, but i do have a rule of thumb. it is never a good sign when you hear a republican saying my good friend teddy kennedy. at least we don't have to hear that anymore. [laughter] >> host: what about outrage the enemy? why is that an important rule? >> guest: um, i've just noticed over time that whenever the spittle starts coming from liberals' mouths, you know you have struck gold. [laughter] >> host: here are some more of your rules. >> host: what are liberals in transition? >> guest: ooh, lots of 'e

ann coulter's headline, re-elect obama, vote newt. polls show romney may be back on top in florida for now. some think it's a good sign gingrich may be in real trouble. >>> it's a massive state. it's more like a nation than a state. i think florida may just be the firewall that romney needs. >> jan brewer's book sales are up less than 24 hours after this moment with obama. she claims it was a heated exchange over what she wrote about the president. >> i was trying to explain to him why i believe that i wrote the book the way that i did because it was factual and trustful, and we were going to have to disagree. >> that's her version. what is the white house saying about the finger point in the president's face. >>> apple alleges chinese workers are subjected to near torturous conditions so americans and others can tote the newest, fastest and coolest phones. will consumer re-think what they buy. >>> one of the murdered pardoned by haley barbour is missing. the convict is danger to the community. he will join me live. >>> we'll get to p

i think and hope coulter is hilarious and all of those people i view as entertainers.yes they are commentators, yes they are pundits, guess a lot of them are very smart, but they also are entertainment and i think of lot of what they are doing in terms of their hearts and their shock value is for entertainment purposes. i think that there are lots of ways to be successful and there are lots of ways to be an effect good communicator and i definitely think that all of us can be good communicators and actually change the direction of the country, not necessarily by having people listening to us on the radio, but by making a difference literally and our families, in our communities, in our towns, in our churches and synagogues, in our schools. and i think by and large, those venues and the communication you have there, a hard edge is not a good way to go. >> why do you think the left has not been able to -- [inaudible] >> i think probably the simple answer is the majority of the country is actually in -- a majority of people in america are fundamentally conservative. even

ann coulter, re-elect obama, vote newt! and this is, i think, my favorite, the american spectator, our bill clinton, that is not meant as a compliment. >> and there are two strains to this. one is what coulter and a lot of inside republicans have been saying, is the guy's not electable. that should be full-stop a problem if you want to defeat obama and it's something alex has spotlighted on the show. but the second piece to this has nothing to do with electability, and that is the guy's not a real conservative, the guy isn't trustworthy, guy is just a train wreck. not that he'll lose, but he's a train wreck, we don't want him to win. if you look at the energy in this race and go around and say to someone, you've got to vote for this guy you may or may not like, you've got to do the electability thing. it is not what they want to hear in florida, which, by the way, was backing newt gingrich in polls from december all the way up to new hampshire. it's a very conservative environment down there, anyway, and i think you have to

. >> are you like a male version of ann coulter. that's what anne said on monday. >> i agree with ann coulter on this issue quite strongly. >> it is strange. i know your politics and i know ann's politics and ann gets grief for this because she is a conservative known as a rhino because she doesn't like newt. >> if they want to be passionate about their issues and whatever, it is dumb. he is going to lose. that's fine. you want to be passionate? you like the debate? >> this is an interesting theory. i call it the tebow syndrome. you fall in love with the story even though you know he will win the big game. that's why john elway was always frustrated because he saw tim tebow become so popular, but she going, he's not going to win the playoffs. he would rather have a nonstory, ie a romney. i have to say i am split on this. i think newt is saying the right things even though his past is his past. let me go to you, dye anne. what is pelosi getting at? did they have an affair perhaps a six way with three members of menudo? >> he is due f

this morning we woke up, karl rove op-ed and ann coulter op-ed. both backing mitt romney. up the phone and said ann, really? you have been a far right conservative, spokesperson for tea party, et cetera, et cetera. why do you back romney? how can you do that? she said well, it's about beating obama. she in a sense is right. her column was great. >> brian: she took apart every other candidate and said this why mitt is the only one that can do it. we both sat next to her when she said i will vote for hillary clinton before i'll vote for john mccain. what is about mitt romney that is more palatable than john mccain four years ago? >> dana: i don't think that is fair to karl. i think his column, he says mitt had a great night. he is possibly the first republican that could win iowa and new hampshire back-to-back in however many years he said. he said santorum has an open window right now and said rick perry has every right to go to south carolina and spend $3.5 million. i think the karl and coulter columns were quite different. >> bob: the reality here is nobody, but nobody in

ann coulter not a big fan weighing in and legendary football coach joe paterno dies, in the wake of theal and where that lies, >> the segment tonight. many republicans are choosing sides, gingrich versus romney with santorum having an outside chance right now and you're he a romney supporter, right. >> huge romney supporter. >> i'll put you in charge of the campaign, what would you say to him? we don't want to talk about the ads and all that, they're going to take care of themselves. as far as his personal demeanor, keeping in mind that we just discussed that gingrich is running as the avenger and expect him to have a little hat and come out and he's going to get the media and the obama, going to get them all, okay? and how does romney counter that? >> i think, i think he would just automatically say right after romney lose-- not lose, in second. the same thing as he was polling at two weeks ago as the final results in south carolina, and gingrich came in what, fourth and fifth in the last two, suddenly romney is doing something wrong and i've been watching all of the debates and by the

i don't care if ann coulter is mad. that the torch was passed from ronnie to newt. got the segment on that? this is what newt's basis and assumption is, i guess. >> handed the torch to ronnie. ronnie turned the torch to newt and the republican members of congress to keep that dream alive. >> bob: my only comment on this is i have heard nancy reagan talk about passing the torch from ronnie to any number of people depending on what the circumstances are. what do you think about this, eric? >> eric: i would love, i've been saying it here for better part of three months. i would love to see a reagan republican in the race. there just happens not to be one. >> bob: you don't think newt is? >> eric: he is also didn't say pass the tomorrow to romney, rick santorum or ron paul. i don't think he is. no. he wants to run on it based on that. what he is said is ron passed the torch to the house. and newt happened to be speaker at the house at the time. i don'tshy shii don'tshy she was a reagan republican. who is the more conservati

ann coulter, tom delay, among gingrich's critic here's. and kouis the right starting to take newt gingrich more seriously and, because, so they're really worried? >> well, i mean, in fairness, ann coulter endorsed mitt romney many weeks ago. and a lot of the members of the conservative media that you're quoteing are people who have a long history with newt gingrich. in particular, they knew him during bill clinton's impeachment and remember his own behavior then and since then regarded him as a hypocrite. there's a long history with some conservatives who were spectacle of gingrich then and spectacle of him now and don't believe he's fit to lead the party. i think they're gaining more traction now and are being heard simply because he is doing so much better than he was earlier on. >> they believe he's a hypocrite and don't believe in redemption? >> maybe not for him yet. >> they question gingrich's ties to ronald reagan. look at this. >> i worked with president ronald reagan. president reagan. reagan. >> reagan criticized gingrich saying

and ann coulter is another iconic figure. please, she will make remarks and then take questions from you. afterwards she will sign. i would ask that, fortunate we may not have time for pictures so this is the sign from and after she will take pictures with you if there is time. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. i really want to speak after the books i'm because it turns out they are serving beer and wine, and i really, i have the ideal audience for, right-wingers, a little flickr job. [laughter] and i don't have prepared remarks because -- i never imagined come to look ahead to when your book is, after who else has ago, he will a be competing with, i never in a million years imagine i'll be competing with something called weinergate. [laughter] but at least, you know, unlike anthony weiner can you can tell if i'm happy even when i'm standing behind a podium.

cathleen, national view ann coulter, drudge, all unloading on newt within a couple of days.as there a secret meeting here? >> i didn't get the memo. you know, it's interesting, i want to clarify something right out of the gate, which is that when we talk about the media or commentators, pundits, et cetera, coming after someone in an orchestrated way, these are conservative operatives, republican party operatives essentially. they're not journalists, and they're not representing any institutional entity, i don't think. i think they're representing their own political views, but they have access to media. they are media creatures. >> that include "national review? >>". >> it's obviously a magazine, but it was created from an idealogical point of view. right? as opposed to, for example, the "chicago tribune" or the washington post. it's more traditional what we call mainstream, and i call old school journalism entities. >> isn't this the kind of thing conservatives usually accuse the liberals of doing, ganging up on a republican? >> at the same time it's not a conspiracy. it's

i think ann coulter is hilarious. all of those people i view as entertainers. is there commentators, abundance. a lot of them are very smart. they also are entertainers. a lot of what they're doing in terms of their hard edge in their shock value is for entertainment purposes. i think that there are lots of ways to be successful, and there are lots of ways to be an effective communicator. i definitely think that all of us can be good communicators and actually changed the direction of the country, not necessarily by having 12 million people listen to us on the radio, by making a difference literally in our families and communities and towns and churches and synagogues and schools. i think by and large those venues in the communication we have their, hard-edged is not the way to go and you would be more successful without a. >> have a question. why do you think your success in terms of reaching a mass audience? >> this simple answer is the majority of the country is actually conservative. at think the majority of people in america are fundamentally conservative.

as politico reports today, panicked conservatives like ann coulter, tom delay, matt drudge and even bobe are coming out to hammer gingrich before it's too late. they are ready to bring him down. and newt's getting mad. today he came out swinging ha harder at romney than ever before, preparing for tonight's showdown in the debate. >> we're not going to beat ra ba rack obama with some guy that has swiss bank accounts, cayman bank accounts and is himself a stockholder in fannie mae and freddie mac while he thinks the rest of us are too stupid to put the dots together and understand what this is all about. >> more bad news today for willard. with those swiss bank accounts. as we just heard, romney failed to report more than half dozen offshore holdings in his federal ethics filing. he also failed to disclose income from a multimillion-dollar swiss bank account. he is now revising those ethics forms but is yet another big flub and gingrich is ready to pounce. >> that's how much he thinks we're stupid. we're not stupid. the message we should give mitt romney is, you know, we aren't that stupi
