thank you so much for joining us tonight for starters and we look at these polls that come from rasmussen and they say the political class who are they referring to specifically. but i don't think they're referring to me i think they're referring to you because you seem very up on the issues of the day which is a very exceptional of the united states. but if i'm making a slight joke here i apologize no it is people who take news very seriously and. ask difficult questions and don't have simple answers. but that doesn't seem to make any sense right people like myself if i am constantly following the news and if i really know what's going on in the country then why would i think that things are just fine why would i think why did sixty one percent of people like myself think that we're headed in the right direction because i have my own feel that way . though i think that's the disconnect that you're pointing out i mean i think most people feel that the. the forces that govern this country have far more authority than they do so that the political class sees things i believe if i understand

populations now mr rasmussen has been proposing a joint european defense system existed. and i think the best way to join efforts would be to really true independent systems corporate there with the aim to protect the russian people as well as people in nato countries russia constantly claims that nato can't guarantee. that its interests will be protected why can't nato is to these guarantees the best guarantee whatsoever would be to engage in close cooperation because growth cooperation between russia and nato would clearly demonstrate that it's our missile defense is really a defense and it's not aimed at russia. let's face it. we do not consider russia threats to nato and nato does not constitute a threat to russia so let's join efforts let us corporate russia sees it as they can't go forward on promises why can't you guarantee russia on paper that a missile defense system would not be directed towards them. either but each very easy to guarantee that because we do not we don't have any intention to attack russia not whatsoever but the best care and she russia could ge

you know the crazy thing about this new rasmussen poll that came out is that mitt romney's in first place michele bachmann's in second place and herman cain is actually in third place so that doesn't look so good for the gingrich's and paul end of the santorum. now last i just want to get your opinion we don't have time to play the clips but yesterday i said he devoted their resources doing a hardcore investigation as to why newt gingrich's staff quit and they decided it was because of his wife because she had to get her hair done in the morning so they they couldn't get the plane to fly out there she is right there with her with her deal on that are you going to impersonate maybe calista gingrich next. if. you know . bachmann is that these laser college you sinful like you know i think it's actually made of the inside i think she might actually be a creature from another dimension and is created entirely of ice and snow i don't know if i could get all this down but frankly i don't know ouch well i think newt's going to ask you to issue an apology just like you did with. sarah thanks so m
