FOX’ Alexis Glick, Tracking The Financial Crisis
Imus speaking with Alexis Glick covers: Fox Business Network, Financial Crisis, oil prices, football
ChanX CliffsNotes
Alexis reveals she’s an Irish girl! Her maiden name is “Alexis Cahill Donnelly” who grew up in New York City describes herself as a workaholic and a big sports fan. Giants-Yankees are her teams although her husband is a Jets-Mets fan. (So she has to tone it down form time to time.) She is also a Boxing fan!
Alexis Glick frustrated with congressional “monday morning quarterbacking” describes Alan Greenspan as a guy who spent 18 years at the Fed who had interest rates at 1%. She strongly disagreed with how the media portrayal focusing on words he used like “mistake”, “flaws in the system” and “over eager investors in subprime mortgages”. Her opinion? Greenspan did not take any major responsiblity for the situation and the media has completely over blown the testimony.
Still Imus is calling for a perp walk, stating he would liked to see Bo Dietl or someone slap some handcuffs on Greenspan and haul him out there.
Imus expresses concern about the segment of his audience who work on Wall Street, inquiring as to the mood on the floor?
Alexis Glick: We have been through a lot of scenarios Long Term Capital, Dot Com Bubble etc. Guys who have been here for 40 years or more say it’s not like ’87 its more like the early ’70s. There is not a sense of panic but a sense of when are we going to get through this and what is the catylst to get us out?

Well, the “catylist” won’t be the U.S.A. that leads us out of it, Alexis.
Now that we are intertwined financially in the world, there are “other MAJOR” players…
…and they may just impose some controls that over the past years of inadequate oversight on OUR countries’ financial systems. The biggest plyer in this game whom we outsourced (sold out to) our entire manufacturing base is now hurting…and they own a huge chuck of our treasure: China.

My point was this simple:
We did not impose the necessary rules and oversight on our financial systems in our Nation. We CAUSED this global financial meltdown. We are in no position to “bargain”, and will be held responsible for what has been wrought upon all others all over the entire world. We may not like it…but it is coming.
IF we do not humbly come to terms with the rest of the entire world for our mistakes: then, the 5th Shoe drops. Period. Americans won’t like it, but it’s coming.
We, are no longer, as some might believe, “just an island” unto ourselves dictating to others. The shoe is on the other foot now. We did it to ourselves…and it was caused by only one thing, and only one thing: unbridled GREED.
The global markets will sort this all out. Based on the recent strengthening of the dollar suspect the US will come out on top.
Does someone have a shoe fetish?? just joking, need a laugh every now and then…
Ben Stein today makes an excellent point in his New York Times article today regarding oil companies and markets.
Imus is climbing #7. I am not a big Dr Laura Fan, if I want to be scolded, I will Call my mother..

Imus was ranked on talk stream live. People want the podcast, they are always leaving comments on Imus Truth.

It would be nice if Imus had some kind of a set-up where we could get to the entire show online, on a daily basis, fresh after it has been aired — such as Mark Levin, or even pay for it …a few bucks a month as one has to do for Laura Ingrahm, Rush, or others.
The wabc podcasts are great for getting the missed interviews but having the whole scope of the show each day would be nice. Imus Truth spoiled me with their podcasts but they have dried up for sure.
Ginger, KCAA radio has podcasts of the first two hours of the show. The podcasts go back about 2 months. Go to http://www.kcaaradio.com/ and click on Podcast under Imus’ photo.
Ginger you received Fridays Program from me. KCAA radio does have Podcasts, but they are full of commercials and News/Weather from the West Coast. Plus it’s only two hours.
It only acts as a back up in the event I have a problem on the original stream from WABC since it begins at 12PM ET.
Patti LaBelle – National Anthem – Wow!
WOW Bo Dietl was really exercised this morning throwing hand grenades everywhere! Hitting Bush, Greenspan, Clinton, Republicans, Democrats, Bankers, Wall Street, he then goes on to declare Obama “his man”.
Bo was all over a 60 Minutes report on Credit Default Swaps and the roll Clinton Congress and Greenspan played in legislation which legalized “side bets” on whether people would default on their mortgages…. The Bet That Blew Up Wall Street Click|Here
Turns out the current situation is impacting Bo’s credit line which provides the working capital for his business.
Governor Bill Richardson was great this morning promising to fix the highway signs for Imus. Of course Imus was good enough to explain for the 1,000th time what’s wrong with the signs. The Governor gave advice to McCain, which sounded like go away. Then he whined over Biden’s bristling interview with Florida’s WFTV. Discussing his relationship with the Clinton’s, says he’s made up with Hillary but has not spoken with Bill sure hopes he gets over it. Richardson will be ordering New Mexico Flags to half mast in honor of author and I-Fav Tony Hillerman Wikipedia.
Carl Cameron covering the McCain Campaign for Fox news seems ready to head home. Talked about signs he sees of the campaign dissolving including finger pointing with campaign officials disassociating themselves with what went wrong over the past 12 months. Carl has been covering the McCain campaign since January and is counting down the days (8). Left a slight slimmer of hope reminding us McCain surprised everyone in the primaries. But how many of these could he have left?
Bernie is looking for a McCain October surprise.
StDoms that is your update!!!
ChannelXRFR,
Hillerman’s books has mention of “skinwalkers” Carlos Castaneda “Shape shifters” I am familiar with the concept. I don’t read that much Fiction anymore, not that I don’t want to but non Fiction is my focus. I enjoy a good mystery.
October “Surprise” if there is one, it won’t be coming from the Media, something that is in the news getting covered. Remember John Roberts, it took The National Enquirer “Tabloid Press” American Politics- Welcome to the Jungle.
The Rev Jesse Jackson, sure is an interesting personality.
Man that CBS story is enough to want you see some people in Guantanamo. String em up I say.
This is where Democrats and Republicans have their finger prints all over this mess. In 2000 credit swaps were made legal with the Senate passing the bill unanimously and President Clinton signing it into law. As 60 Minutes points out Washington obviously knew this was illegal…
Alison, thank you for the kcaa podcast info..
Bruce, yes I did get the three hour podcast from last Friday, but haven’t listened yet.. I do appreciate your podcasts… I just thought I might be missing some part of the show since a lot of time you send the last hour from my understanding.. either way, it’s nice to be double covered and I appreicate your info ,Alison, and your audios also, Bruce. It’s rare that I actually hear it fresh and in “real time.”
Bo Dietl is for Obama?…wow, I didn’t realize.
This is Spangler To Tom Friedman, The World isn’t Flat, it’s Flattened. Who is John Galt?

Last Link “Spengler” this sticks out.
Iran’s economy will implode with oil in the mid-US$60s.
Why read about it, LISTEN TO Bo Dietl

Spengler certainly rejects the idea that the US has been critically wounded in the current crisis. Taking into account the strengthening of the dollar, low interest rates, fall of the price of oil and commodities the US finds it self in a very strong position. In the end, markets rule and the US is the largest, strongest and most stable market in the world. We will recover from this and most likely bring the rest of the world back in our wake.
Whoever the next President may be, that person will find domestic options limited by global economic, political and security needs.
Why read about it, LISTEN TO Bo Dietl

Breaking News:
— A jury has found Sen. Ted Stevens guilty on all seven counts of making false statements on Senate disclosure forms.
Who’s wrong now? Not Sarah Palin!
Channel ~ Re: post #12 – Thank-you 🙂
Ted Stevens, don’t let the door knob hit ya, where the good lord spit ya!
You are welcome StDomsgirl.
Listen don’t read a review.
What a tool…
The tool is doing what people want, not what they want to hear.
Thank you Channel. What a Pal!
LOL @@@ “tool”.
Man that is not a word I’ve heard in a very long time. You and I must be the same age X. That does bring out a chuckle in me. I thank you for that.
And in this particular case…… if the shoe fits.
First shoe, second shoe, third shoe, fourth shoe or even the dreaded fifth shoe.
Yes SkiWolf, You are the same age as Channel. I will not hold that against you. LOL
Be safe my friend.
I think X got my meaning…..
Me thinks I got your meaning….
Why not watch the World Series and get off of the bandwagon.
Politics in real life and here is becoming boring.
Don’t you think?
Last word…….
Sorry Stdoms seems like Bruce is very possessive.
Almost made it through his time out. Can’t himself can he?
No last words for me. You need not apologize for me Channel. I am above all that.
If everyone agrees with you, then no one has an open opinion.
I offer a free service. You offer words. Well written ones at that. The sound of the words are more powerful than the interpretation.
Thank you for your KIND support.
One more thing. I am not on a time out.
Time outs are for children.
StDoms, For peace of mind remember to lock your doors at night.
(You are on time out Bruce, you just don’t get it.)
Does anyone remember this song, MacArthur Park, my favorite version was Donna Summers. I said before I am a 70s Child. This post is about if the Media gets it all wrong come election day…do they have any credibility left. They had me at “if they get everything all wrong” BIG GRIN.

I am listening to Imus on Air with Col Jack Jacobs and Imus just asked Col Jacobs where does all the money come from. CBS is looking into that. Yes CBS!

This is another Fox Babe remember she did go on Imus in the Morning, pre Pac Man Jones media hype. Now I don’t really care that this is an Obama spokes person as much as I enjoyed a Megyn Kelly smack down..Remember when we could count on an Imus smack down. I just enjoy watching her, getting all up in this guy’s grill 🙂

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/28/ohio-official-okd-records-search-on-joe-the-plumber/
Self Explanatory, they have found one of the people who accessed Joe the Plumbers records. How many Lawyers have already Called Joe the Plumber? Yes the Woman who Ok’d the search is an Obama supporter, and she had already maxed out the amount she could contribute to Obama’s campaign. Note to Bernie, yes it is still October.
Im no body language expert but it seems to me Bill Burton’s expresion was just too smug knowing he was playing a game with Megyn Kelly. My guess is he is not much of a poker player.
Megyn killed with her closing“You may have the rest of the media in the tank, but Fox News reports it straight.”
Finally some of that Unity they keep telling us is going to happen.
