" We're joined now for the beginning of the show by the point guard in the 1982. State champion or solo or -- of this. Young Sarah Palin." " Sir how are you any I am doing great how are you. What's up kid off." " Just steroid because I've sent up you're gonna and yeah. But some people can he had not met --" " I'm open Obama care covers carpal -- tunnel syndrome has not released to reaching an out Russell and wrist. Now listen first off 300000. Copies of -- spoke. -- first and if so maazel took -- few years that's an amazing achievement. And there also is somebody who voted for -- I wanna thank you for being. A good soldier to John McCain I didn't think McCain ran a perfect campaign but I thought you worry. Perfect lieutenant for him good on him." " Thank you so much I appreciate that and I appreciate that you get it especially there in your celebrity world if you are -- the few who gets sent." " I'm wearing her mind right now on terror and I've got diamonds on and -- I've got some cost -- and a golden goblet Melissa and I have stashed a couple things about the of their ramp up process first off mind missing this -- I thought I remembered. Pitcher somehow come to Iraq in the morning the Charlie Gibson interviewed." " I -- of his. Deployment. Ceremony at saint spoke at as the governor of Alaska and I get -- the -- c.s --" " Boggles my mind that the McCain people would not and I shouldn't say McCain -- is an arm of the John makes these decisions got in -- balls in the years to begin with but. Whoever was running that campaign that boggles my mind that they can't see how superseded the job of governor vice president as by the job of modern -- going end all wars and so. The Charlie Gibson -- and I can't believe they put children cross hairs of that scope now I wanna speak for most of American -- when I tell you as far as the interview. With princess chip monkey went. She was she was laying in the weeds for you there and and NN. In a world where Barack Obama can come out and say he's. For inclusion and against gay marriage and nobody even queries him on that the fact that they wanted to get your newspapers and Supreme Court cases. I was offended did you get a vibe from her which it was a gotcha interview." " Well of course it absolutely right you don't didn't believe you can shed some insight for me you can let me know what you think about this. Why you -- in the aftermath of that stupid interview was. -- portrayed as the be all end all of the definition of who I am and what my record like a little locked at all about. Why do what I and spun into Tom's -- defining moment terrorists well." " Because let me put it to -- right before we went on today I heard a quote from Obama. Telling CNN. And it was a pretty extrapolated quote Hollywood not read a book. But all the stuff around that was the right stuff that he says he said Russians got a constituency and she's gonna do very well with this book and I probably won't read the book but then again I don't have time to. I was thinking you're running the thing that just says his reason -- I probably won't read Sarah Palin's book. And the human part of me says I can't do that the guy that's not what he said but the there have that human side maybe Katie Couric was out in the weeds she still is rating wise but as far as authority speaking lies. That she couldn't even further -- everybody was simply to second who is is prisoners taken over this important mental. She had to take you up for street -- it's just that simple." " Well hopefully in other sections in the book that allowed the transcript of part that interviewed it speaks -- don't know the people concede till the lot of sense and submit your hours the fact. Each shot to in the -- minutes showed the American public. You know we're not underestimate the wisdom of the people like the majority of the people are wise enough to help. -- they have an agenda and of course once that once it's so cold there loot did they have the freedom and liberty that -- until and generally insist. Dean don't we desired all of that even yen which. And interview of course accomplish shackled they're gone and I get to say what I wanted to say minus the filter of the lame stream media." " You're gonna get a pension. Buzz about this make lemon -- lemonade out of lemons. In the future in the in the future you should just say. I read all newspapers. And then always take a pause and say except to New York Times. Except you have to you have to always stress that if you were to get the presidency one day that's where your -- is to be -- always take deposits except the New York Times people. Will eat that up and I can't tell you sir we have got Ted Nugent on here periodically. And your speech patterns of the same and I know you both her -- aficionados and stuff like that. It's funny to me there's a common sensibility learners and the common sense about Ted. And this whole thing about geniuses in the White House I haven't seen many geniuses over the years. But I have seen a lot of people don't use their head and I like the way you use your head. I think you could have done Katie Couric's job I don't think she could have been governor of Alaska for three days tell me how to -- right Alaska how does that translate the USA." " Well first sent identity might shout out to Ted Nugent I love them he would he is so much even Alaskan brother. And we have made great." " Relations -- you know Tony good to have an idea -- has yeah you're very similar when you talk to." " You know what it's not just mean -- in Alaska within. Independent. -- pro American spirit to pioneering spirit certainly that's. But -- how I was graves that's what tests. Let me to get political decisions that I made its most everyone out there in Alaska what are they able to do as governor up there. What speak on the political machine within the GOP and had to take of course that's -- machine -- just. And not to air what -- your it would say here are due to -- knowing that you're not gonna get up there and -- for what was right for -- laughed and that was ramped up resource development while we protect the environment. And rain in the rate of growth of government debt which it's sort improve anything like earmark reform in our state for that. Alaska would be seen as this this huge step Acre from the federal government but we would be. More self sufficient and self determined to opening for very very common sense principles. Based on the free market and based on. I guess. Get out the way that we would run a small business at a -- which. But to try our own -- at least a try to run the government that way it was quite successful and really relieved that there until I came up at the end of the campaign trail after. The McCain experience and and that things were so good after that." " Now that leads me to the one thing and I gotta get my head around this and trigger the sought and I wanted to hear from the horse's mouth. If I'm gonna it's yet -- no Geronimo they should do I'm ensuring and I think I might -- but I have to know -- quit the job. What it leave again one images you know world behind -- I didn't mean to be nasty --" " You know whatever into a lame duck session might last legislative session and I was going to seek another term so. Easily on normal politician would kind of hunkered down in lame duck session be ineffective and start would. Travel and and serving on boards and commissions to beef up their resume and and does not necessarily be used in the position to. Affect the whole lot of change it's just typical of a lame duck session -- in the spotlight to do that we accomplish the goals that we had that out with ethics reform. I reining in that rate of growth of our state government and to outline progress has ramped up that's. Petroleum development capital after we had met -- gulf. -- when I came off the campaign trial. I would that would probably. -- Riley and her -- settle things that we're costing might states might administration millions of dollars. Thousands of staff powers to fight and because little opposition research is that blew up by the plane loaded match. In the campaign to -- tried to destroy my administration. It resulted in a new normal that would quite distracted for and my conservative agenda in in my administration so the thing to do and the fair thing to do for -- and yeah on the reins over to lieutenant governor who shared with me the same conservative agenda he is answering that through in stiff finally here an offense he could take over. And I can get out there and fight even harder for a locked them." " And they're not they're not doing -- to him by a thousand cuts -- he can work relatively and encumbered." " Then I got that you know trying to put dead. -- on a cap of personal destruction -- bankruptcy we're not seeing that odd because it's just. What did what and why people hate politics and why. They're not -- real enamored with politicians because of the games that are played like -- On it and it's brutal as another carried keeps good people out of public service for our show people is you can top two crap. You can't get through it and aquarium today still standing and I have to. I think a louder megaphone that I had when I was the governor of Alaska so despite what they try to do to my administration and I don't care what they try to do to meet personally. But what they can do to my administration. And my family. What we got through it and look where we are today -- the better position that I have to fight for. Resource development energy independence for a lap and PharMerica with where we are today." " Alison I know Alaska's big gun bears in the thing I always -- about you as you will rake somebody if they go under the cubs so good on you can I like that Abacha that. Don't mess with the -- letting go after you on all the crap but when they start gone after the family. Yeah I would get this pissed off as you -- we'll talk does Sarah after the break we're gonna take some phone calls -- 86699. -- she's with us for another assignment this is. Former Alaska governor 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate and author of the new book going rogue an American like Sarah Palin right up to distanced election." " It's." " Welcome back -- Alaska governor. Sarah Palin. And twice the woman David Brooks is listen to Sarah I have to ask you. This Newsweek cover. First up I have two thoughts on this to me it seems blatantly sexist and secondly I'm just glad they didn't decide to do it with Hillary during the primary typically your thoughts on you appeal to this I mean this was for another magazine ranked." " Yeah as -- health and fitness profile where I can. Helping great -- the last can runner's world months ago and -- Newsweek is really smart didn't seem cheesy and it is quite executive do again that's of course of this state of journalism today I think it's stinks." " That the house I mean I can't believe women up well I saw someone last night. Who were up in arms about and on a TV show just stood and I I don't know that they were traditional Palin supporters but I do think women are starting to get it to -- they hold you to a really weird standard let's go to the phone lines not touch Indians 86699. -- is the phone number we've got Craig in Alaska Craig you're on Sarah Palin." " On behalf of Alaskan first of all I wanna thank you for your your unwavering efforts appear in abundance management predator control. But I you know you get more two and a half years in the five governors before it so thank you. And I also have a question for -- I haven't heard it from you why do you think personally that so much of the liberal so this country's put a raging case of Illinois --" " You know like Greg I think that -- voiced its being heard right now that is quite representative. Out. You and other Alaska and that whole lot of other American -- states. Okay that enough is enough government your growth year over reach into our private sector in park tea leaves that skinny your takeover of our freedoms we got enough and we're gonna speak up but we're gonna be loud and we're gonna be clear in our opposition to what's going on -- not -- provide solutions to get our country back a great catch. That voices being heard right now I happen to be one of those places. And it's driving me delete the liberal elites absolutely crazy their head just stand and they don't like it they don't know what to do about. What they do about it is real immature aliens and professional each double attack a personality and try to destroy that that person who has supported instead of talking about the policies and pocket dot the issue that really matter." " Let me play this for you real quickly -- this is another one of the voices and he'll be in the cross hairs of the scope now for a couple days. You probably haven't heard -- but senator in -- speaking to Barbara Boxer the other day about the fact that they're moving cap and trade back until next year because we got too many. Plates spinning right now this is an off -- Oklahoma was another pragmatic voice like here's. He's talking to box of our global warring some -- number thirteen cents." " Acted this whole idea in the global warming of the glad that's over on. We would you -- and the we will show you all watched it get alive I absolutely adore him for saying that -- applaud." " Like that don't like Ronald Reagan's -- he had the same approach so many issues studio that approach in the Cold War and the data meetings today you look at guys. We win you lose period let's get on with that I wish there was more that -- handedness sense and honesty and spoken there on Capitol Hill." " It's common -- the book is going rogue an American life the author -- Sarah Palin. We've got phone calls up and looks go to jasmine and Chicago adjustment your mama Sarah Palin." " Thank you it's an understatement to Governor Palin ticket that particular call -- a little plaque he. Really disgusting and I was so dismayed by this report on I think there was MSNBC. Where they actually which you Grand Rapids, Michigan and I am a Hispanic woman. Both my parents came here from South America and they -- the crowd and they are trying to say that your followers that your people who really believe the what you're trying to say. Our monochromatic. With the word that I used to and I would lift that had I had my says. Simply put they're trying to do at the Hispanic woman one of seven sort of my mother and father came here and raised -- my dad left open. Yeah federated -- you know it's rated single handedly but we are not monochromatic I've got Hispanic Latino friends who are behind you Sarah. So please keep up the fight. Tandem I just plan no you know if he ever come to Chicago and I will bring it out there to see your -- and that's come and eat what that's our common. And hang out with that's Latino woman." " And let you know jasmine here's the caricatures that they dealer on the left if you show up but that thing in Chicago they're gonna expected to be dressed up like a merry Archie -- The left always acting like a defender of you know minorities. They they always sort of do the grosses caricatures. What do you find when your on the road sermon when the breakdown here -- Obviously. The you know in anybody even Barack go Bonnie Barack Obama is audience is gonna be mostly like the what do you see when you see that you see people were disappointed not skin colors --" " Exactly yeah exactly people are saying he didn't look at what we bargained for come on let's get that looked back to these American ideal for -- come out there on Capitol Hill. -- don't know very diverse crowd as as a matter of fact I haven't done neighbors and me and my husband is Alaskan natives so anybody who would even suggest you know that. I personally or politically would Dutch. -- be anything but. It died first. -- in terms of service support people. It is way off base you know what I did have something that's funny happened immediately exact gonna do this is just can't take it out. My books signed an American IU except demeaning this. Ed is Obama stayed did not work out like keep your boldness. So editor cameras around and and yeah and not looking at skin color but -- Looking at indeed to concern on people's faces and in their I think I want help we we gotta get them back and I turn." " Now as a mountainside about Barack Obama's not the color of his skin it's the thinness of his skin and the bothers me at some point. Well listening kiddo if you actually said about this Abdul Hassan guy profile away you got to trust that instinct you pull on that thread. And I I think there's a chance that you could be the -- of this country's president because people are completely disaffected. If you're gonna go -- go really -- all right Sarah." " And I appreciate that at Taipei have a boatload of people who are listening to you up and Alaska header in Chile Michael do teach. Koppel in each element but he that there and and they want a fatal shot that TT gonna keep up the good work especially in its weird arena that you are in -- of Hollywood's dark. And yet he taught that gets to come out as a common sense conservative doing the right thing each and I hope that you want power other. -- war in your industry to do the same."
