    Thu, 9 Feb 2012

    Very good morning Russ Cassel had yours service. Here once again are my favorite hour the program every day in the ninth at 10 o'clock hour simply because we have more time to do talk so let's do one. advantage talk lines if you wanna share. I've rebuilt 232967. port number is 5749673. pound little blank text line. Is seven. 1307. My email address at intercom. Dot com. an update. They're continuing controversy. Over the obamacare. Mandate forcing employers. And religious organizations. To provide health care coverage to their employees which covers. I don't only contraception but abortion even in some cases sterilization. Because the pressure continues to mount now. We have some signals. From David Axelrod and others that Obama might be rethinking this. But you know and you gotta watch these schools. Potter dot com reports. Bad. President Obama. And here's the quote reinforced. His stance. On the controversial contraception. Mandate. While speaking at the democrats' annual retreat. And national park in Washington. And this comes from senate Democrats. He doubled to get a reinforced it. The retreat by the way was close to the media but according to ipodder dot com. Following president Obama's speech at this retreat a small group of senate Democrats mostly women. Left the retreat early in order to hold a news conference on Capitol Hill spirits about yesterday Barbara Boxer only To counter the Republicans news conference at which they call for the mandate to be overturned. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand Democrat New York quote the power to decide whether or not to use contraception. Lies where they woman. Not a horrible loss. What is more intrusive been trying to allow an employer to make medical decisions for someone who works for the that's the quote from the brilliant senator person for. How does the employer make that decision some. Are in this is just. The Republicans should be knocking this out of the ballpark. I mean. Bigger about it talks. If you're an employer and you didn't have the power to decide. What are your female employees should use contraception. Would we even be having a conversation. Over who should pay for the contraception. That the employees potter writes. Who should pay it forward is is a big part of this but to assert. That somehow. Your boss. Has control over and over whether or not. It is not just about contraception. Mention. It's about. You know the morning after Punto. And into your boss is controlling. If you don't do your insurance your bosses controlling and whether or not you can get to what you've just civilly. As if that's the only place that you can get there's got to stop. your company health insurance Blanton are your church's health insurance plan. If anybody is Kirsten Gillibrand ever heard of clinic. But I mean place. So. Though that the Republicans are and I love working on a bill Britt knocking on how long should us to make. To rescind this. This if there's ever been a time to declare political war. I mean in this it. I mean please I mean Tim Kaine. Quote I think the White House made a good decision. In including the mandate for contraception coverage in the affordable character insurance policy. But a made a bad decision in not allowing a broad enough religious employ your exemption. Rarely I mean that's this came to And as part of the sky above Fox News is reporting. That ball more Democrats are breaking from Obama on this. Here's what they report some members of president Obama's own party. Are opposition. To the controversial ruled religious schools and hospitals must provide contraceptive coverage for their employees. As Democrat women lawmakers put up a united front in the fitting Obama. Other Democrats are split over the new birth control policy. Which has been condemned by Republicans as a quote ambiguous attack on religious freedom and our country. Senator Joseph mansion Democrat West Virginia. Facing reelection in November. Sent a letter to Obama complaining that the mandate quote is a direct affront to religious freedom. Representative Dan Lipinski Democrat Illinois. Quote this decision violates the longstanding tradition of protection for conscience rights in federal wall. For the Democrats see the writing on the wall. And are speaking out. I mean seriously. If if the Republicans. Would really wanna beat Obama. Really wanna take back the senate and continue their majority in the house. I mean you know you have to. Just dumb I think you have to seize the opportunity I think you have to be up there in cable 24 sevenths I think you need an old round the clock. Press conferences. Maybe maybe just me. I mean I knew to work for a living I can't watch television point 47. Burrows into the radio 24/7. Are are you are you seeing and on all I mean all out war political war with. Plus the American people get this you know I get this written ran American dot com. Majority opposes Obama's contraception mandate and he uses. To buttress his point Rasmussen new poll. Half of voters do not agree with the Obama administration's action. Forcing religious institutions to pay for birth control measures that they morally oppose. Survey finds 39% of likely US voters believe the government sure would require. A church or religious organization to provide contraceptives for women. Even if it violates that deeply they're deeply don't believe the 39% of idiots in this country but 50% disagree. And oppose such a requirement that runs contrary to strong beliefs 10%. Undecided. The 10% undecided god help him. Of course they probably don't even know god. I mean shares 39. Purse how scary is that so so 39%. Actually say and would tell Rasmussen the government should make nervous important timbers you don't have a clue. So that's 49%. While half of us disagree according to Rasmussen. I mean it is written imports up to you right now the topic is contraception and sterilization. And you know abortion by But he what would be tomorrow. The government mandating that you violate your conscience or your more most personal beliefs over something else. He to believe there's no slippery slope here is to ignore history and reality this is dangerous territory that Obama has entered. And we ignore it at our payroll. So called presidential candidate to grab the bull by the board. Where are they holding round the clock press conference is over this debate. Did they really wanna be our. Would be But we are they talking about. Our mistakes and calls it Linda's in Spartanburg hi Linda. our you this morning I know you more I am I am I'm enjoying your check this morning on a trip to Colombia. And wanted to hear them talk about the controversy with the option that. Sure I got a lot of up and I had number one. I don't think that there will be a problem if we're on Mayo situation. We have crunch in. We we hear anything about it because I Obama would make certain that our control. However I think that his underlying is. To control women. And even the Democrat proclaimed to be liberal. In reality we're not much different that China because if we're gonna provide it we're gonna require. religious based organization. To provide proper perspective the women and we in efforts are paying women are steep it make it around the nation. You know I want I and I think. Forget our constitution we don't have one anymore. Well I see I think Melinda I think that's the key point I don't think it's necessarily about controlling women. I I think it's about destroying constitution. Rob we we don't have it end and you know we wanna complain that we are a progressive and freeware or not. We're really not and and you know if it's a shame that we have someone sitting up and it it. It doesn't have the brain of a Kirk is it that. It and it. Why he's got the brain of a bird I think he's got the brain of a socialist Marxist and I think he's got the brain saw Smolinski. I think he's got flowered Piven you know firmly ingrained in his brain. I I think he knows exactly what he's doing it all he's trying to do. Is determine. How for he can push people. And that's eight thinks he pushes enough. Then it's going to erupt in the streets and that's when he really sees an opportunity that's what I believe that. and and I think you're right I think that he is pushing for. They're being an apple and other civil war and it will be up on our people that we will really each other over something so. You as it because you know our freedoms our compromised every day every day and and I I. I can't thank these several years and why you have children that we get world and at that time spot. You know that wanted to have children a lot of and now twenty years later when apple what are we end when you're bound. Say why did that you know why did not bring them into it we. Well that's a thought that's gone through a lot of people's minds I look at my children and all grown now. And I especially look at my two year old granddaughter. And I I know why they're in this world because they are the source of absolute joy we need some joy we need an affirmation. Of our humanity. Our our our our ability to. Not only procreate. But to to have control over things her as best we can course God's got the ultimate control I believe. On. I'd I never questioned life. A question. Everything else and wash the an Reynolds does don't trust them I've read enough I've researched enough I mean if you gonna do a talk show you gotta have something to say. And I say in this for a long long time. And trying to make people aware I think I've been somewhat successful in that not a successful as I would like to event. The big government is a threat to the very essence of this country know of that makes me a radical terrorists as. and Apollo wants me if you want you to think I am then fine you think whatever you wanna thank. Laughter so. They are out to be destroyed this country make no bones about it. I hate I can't stand people like Romney running or is always a nice guy he just not qualified for the job that's Malarkey. That's how are you an oh. No he is evil is corps he is on litigated. Evil his background proves it. And he is only try. You just see how far he can push this country thank you be safe on the way to Colombia. Now I know then when I mentioned the whole thing about trying to get people in the streets. I kind of wander over Roseland. But you know that I see have we have Marines. During practice exercises on the East Coast. And it's supposedly under the that their training. For a possible invasion of Iran and I'm not so sure. And then you see The Washington Times headline from a couple of days ago. Drones over US get okay by congress. Shaun Waterman. Look up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane no it's a drone and it's watching you. That's what privacy advocates fear from a bill congress passed this week. To make it easier for the government to fly unmanned spy planes. And US airspace. It's the FAA re authorization act which Obama is expected to look out. It also orders the FAA. To develop regulations for the testing and licensing. Of commercial drones by 2015. Privacy advocates. a lead to widespread use of drones for electronic surveillance by police agencies across the country and eventually by private companies as well. Steve and after a good who heads up the project for governments on government secrecy. At the freedom of Americans excuse me Federation of American Scientists. Says this quote these are serious policy questions on the horizon. About privacy and surveillance. There he says there are also concerned about the implications for surveillance by government agencies. The provision in the legislation is the of a quote huge push by lawmakers and the defense sector to expand the use of drones in American. By the way Apollo tunnel Department of Homeland Security is the only federal agency to discuss openly. Its use of drones and domestic airspace. Well there's other. Be afraid be very very afraid RE 929. At 26 of stalking Gary in Taylor's hi Gary. Good morning. I I just forwarded this email the about a half an hour ago so is this is from grass fire nation. It is as we're about its impact by Obama. And Stupak who held out in president China that has three point. Number one is less than 10% of Americans or in the nonprofit sector in only a portion of those. Worked for a quote religious nonprofit in Obama. In only a partial or. Obama compromise a religious or community organizations would still be constant. Control abortion birth control mandate in effect for the vast majority of American. Number two even the fighting. He's been fighting the battle on the religious argument concede that the obamacare mandate some ground legitimacy. For not religious company. Number three if we get Stupak Obama could it could succeed in defusing that issue Obama care among Catholic voters. In 2008. Catholics represented 27% of the vote. And went for Obama fifty port 45%. In twenty Camden Catholic Republicans like fifty or 44%. Catholics could decide who wins the White House and the So what you're saying if he'll do this he'll give them away or or pull back and then turn around campus second term. I write it yet but. Boy I don't know I it was what a huge. Gamble here. But I guess it is a way for Obama to say to the left yeah I got your back. And then at the and say you know if you want me to have four more years you wanted to keep on change in this country. You know if you wanna keep me in in power so I can keep implementing coward dividend the rules for radicals. Then we're gonna have to give the Catholic Church you know an exemption. See what ever happened. We're gonna get rid of this thing. Why are they appear every day I wouldn't get a pass a bill every day. To repeal obamacare as senator up there sitting up there every day from now until November. Send it over to Harry Reid let him and you know just rejected ignored send it. You know challenge Obama in public. Challenge him on this. I. If you really wanna be imagery what are they really wanna beat him I knew rose would call hi rose.

Barrels that it is girls and polished rest girls. Added that the hike up a girl all. hanged but it's not bring up to check out our app right wash your. It should you want to talk about the Marines is an auto. I miss something Didn't they training children part of our ratings. Training and William Green so Carrie at training children for the Marines. But here's how are still children and how etiquette not complete it our economic point wash up. All right rose thank you very much 930 news radio WORD. It's exactly 93426. That we got to. You locked and loaded on news radio W poll RD 106 point three FM advantage blinds. Greenville 2329673. Spartanburg 5749673. Ashford is next time. Good morning got right Sutherland thanks. That's what it's done though had a invitation to have problems grin that at the valor last night. And so get CNET and it was a you know very good movie. Is that the one with the active Navy SEALs it is yeah I saw the previews are those trailer. Commercial for that I guess on the Super Bowl. It's a good movie just wanna encourage people that would become that couple weeks it. Immediately that it just really have to appreciate what the I would guess go through and you know help support them. But also comment on what rose for a little while ago I think what you're referring to his program called the young heard No she's not one that and this is the reason I know this says about internment and concentration. Camps. That these groups. You know dark. Government groups have sat up and dark crate training our children I know about the junior marine. Public is not further get regular the vet yeah and a wonderful program on he had an in essence there's there's probably it to make it look like the boy it's got only done through you know the military and disciplined and yet you did. I think she's a little little Our dentists are speaking of the military a couple of things and added no asked for was gonna bring it up but since we're here. You might have heard talks. So. Military bases. Will soon be serving more fruits and vegetables. Michelle Obama. Is because of the healthier food part of the first program in twenty years. Two supposedly improve nutrition standards across the armed forces. Obama and pentagon officials plan to announce the this afternoon during a visit to. To Little Rock air force base in Arkansas. Military's been experimenting with healthier foods in a pilot program there. it is AP says it's not just by giving members of the armed services more seat belt profile. Pentagon officials say obesity is a national security issue. About a quarter of entry level candidates are too overweight to enter the military or make it through their first enlistment. So. That's what they're doing on military bases now contrast that with this. Which just proves what a fraud Michelle Obama and then the people are also an eight AP story. Out of that that Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The US military says more flight attendants aboard Air Force One. And other government VIP planes. Are learning advanced culinary skills. Students at joint base Andrews near Washington recently prepared. Chicken pie ER. With mashed potatoes and asparagus. At the direction of a Los Angeles based chef. Who has cooked for celebrities including Tom Cruise and Simon Cowell. The air force hired the corporate school of etiquette to teach the three such classes. In the last eighteen months again these flight attendants in the eighty ninth airlift wing. These clashes were 22000. Dollars per class. The air force said the president and his top advisors need to be well Fred when traveling on official business. The flight attendants say they're top priority is ensuring passenger safety. So the grunts that they air force base. They're gonna your fruits and vegetables. You know probably a little tofu. Disguised district. But at the top. Aboard Air Force One and you know Nancy bloke she's playing all these other things they're actually. Teaching the flight attendants. How to cook but what can only be described as gore very. I'm sure there's a lot of really so offices being prepared to. As Michelle Obama goes at least schools and store somewhere and they're gonna Boston's 101000. Students. At some big anti obesity thing she's doing some celebrity's going to be there. Just revealed her last birthday party she's out chowing down I think they said the meal that she consumed was three to 4000 calories. A bunch of hypocrites. By the way speaking of food I don't know if you noticed this this out of Lubbock Texas. Beef prices at the supermarket likely will rise for the next two years. Because of smaller. Herds of cattle. effect in Texas the smallest cattle in sixty years. You know with the drought and everything up there and experts say retail prices for beef get this could climb as much as 10% a year. This year or next year and increase could be even greater. If demand from other countries inquiries. It's all gonna depend on. You know what I've really what kind of weather we have it researchers or read they say ranchers at a Texas. Have sold more cattle. In recent years 'cause they just can't afford to feed them they can't afford to fuel for money. It's worse in taxes in nearby states. Because of the drought in the pastors are just. Go away. So they didn't really have a lot of options. That. You have you noticed your grocery bill lately I. I'm I'm telling me it's that last Saturday. After we got through gross Trisha. I I told my family said boy. Look at news and compare that what we normally spend. So I said you know we're gonna have to make your trips. to go back over to the stash gets more canned food. By the way if you've seen doomsday preparers jet. You goes so cool I want to weather coming to interview me are now 41. This on the text line or something I didn't know eating too much or legalize. Make your book yet vague. Look what it is on Michelle. My bill. You know I haven't really noticed. That then what's the Ruble. I'm sorry I don't know it's don't know you would like it. Without me because my worst case three and it's agree you went public. Rushed for a few thousand dollars via a heck of a lot of burgers chicken nuggets and pizza yes it will. Are speaking of food.

This is from golf curtain dot com. Headline special Black History Month supermarket circular offends white lady. Emma Carmichael is the reporter. Is it racist for a supermarket to celebrate Black History Month next to a spread of things that racist people sometimes associated with black people. just another opportunity for white people to project their own bigotry on to something else.

    Audio

    Thu, 9 Feb 2012

    Good morning how are you hope you're doing well plus castle just happen to be here. The Eagles advantage to numbers 2329673. In 5749673. In Spartanburg. These come a blank text line is 71307. My email. Ross @entercom.com. Gonna get back to what we were talking about last just a moment but first let me get Michael in here Michael and Woodruff Good morning. Copper fell becomes very you know with you don't mind if about And his view of it was like murder and I've added here at the end of this. Laura I I don't remember talking to somebody about lesbianism. a woman been practicing very a lesbian. And it was comparing it so murderers. Who was very evident what experiments today. That's what we're. after over if it's torture. Yeah I Michael you know I'm glad you waited but you've got the wrong show. I I did not have any conversation with anybody that I can remember want to about lesbianism thanks Are back to where we were. This. I think again for those just tuning it. If Clint Eastwood said in their commercials that we're at halftime. Then what I'm about to tell you were way past halftime we urine sudden death now in this country. Heritage Foundation just put out their 2012 index of dependence on government. And they find the average American relied on federal government assistance receives more in benefits than the average americans' disposable personal income. Breaks it down for Americans who rely on government receive an average. Of 32748. Dollars worth of benefits. Which is more than the average americans' disposable personal income. Of 32446. Dollars. 67 point three million Americans now depend on federal assistance from everything from food shelter clothing college tuition health care. These benefits cost federal taxpayers. About two and a half trillion dollars a year. The other part of this which just proves that we're in sudden death way past halftime sorry claimed. While they average number of Americans. Receiving federal aid continues to increase the number of federal taxpayers continues to drop. 49 and a half percent of Americans. Do not pay any federal income tax. William you north of the study the danger of a growing government dependent population. Is that it's voting for more benefits. That end up being paid for by few words taxpayers. And here's the pull quote at some point. This unsustainable fiscal model will collapse. Investors business daily broke us down even more and I'll share that with also a new poll out of Winthrop which is being reported. It an interesting way a couple of ways actually that's on the way. Let's get updated 809 Big Ten you know it's taxis and again and then. For those of you who. Already done your taxes or made your in the process of doing your taxes you look at your W two. And you see almost taxes federal taxes by Texas most of us. And the united ticket that's a lot of money. I don't care how much money you make gets a lot of money. And so it's it's fair you know people like use the word fairness. To it to know. And questioned. Where where this money is going. So much money. Investors business daily. Dependency index surges 23%. Under President Obama. Is part of what they write. The American public's dependent on the federal government shut up 23%. In just two years. Under Obama. 67 million now relying on some federal program. The conservative think tank Heritage Foundation the annual index of dependence on government tracks money. Spent on housing help welfare education subsidies. And other federal programs that were quote traditionally provided to needy people. By local organizations and families. Notice the new once people used to care people locally and and somehow we leveled this be shifted. To the federal level and accords let us lead to year increase under Obama. The biggest two year jump. Since Jimmy Carter. The rise driven mainly by increases in housing subsidies an expansion in Medicaid changes to the welfare system along. With a sharp rise in food stamps. William beach. Heritage quote you can't get around the fact. That policy decisions made over the past two years on top of those made over the past several decades. Are having a larger effect on the pace of growth of this index. Government dependence has climbed steadily since 1962. The report also found that spending on dependence programs. Standing here counts now for more than 70%. Of the federal budget percent that to a dramatic. For example in 1990. Really not that long ago. It was at 48 and a half percent that's bad now it's 70%. And if you go all the way back to 1962. Just over a quarter of federal spending went too dependent programs. So from 62. To 2012. It's gone from about 25% to 70%. It's clear to see why we're in this mess. And then BB at the same time fewer Americans pay income taxes. Almost half 49 and a half percent didn't pay income taxes and 09 the latest year for which the researchers have data. You compare that back in the late sixties only 12%. Of Americans. income tax burden. I mean this glorified vote buying campaign with federal programs. Is at the heart. The the dilemma that we face folks. Other findings the number of people dependent on the federal government shut up seven and a half percent just in the last two years. In 2010 for the first time ever average spending on dependence programs per recipient. Exceeded the country's per capita disposable income the dependency index has dipped only seven times in the past 49 years. Three of which were under Ronald Reagan two under Bill Clinton. Some observers say the rise independence under Obama is merely a reflection of the deep and long recession. The William beach says his team's research shows. That economic effects account for only 15. Of the change in the index so shoot that down in addition. The index shot up 8% in 2010 a year in which the economy. Only group by 3% if you believe that. So for the of that. We get this this farmer herald journal. In listen because we're talking about the same poll out of went for here's The Herald journal. They went university poll finds 59% of south Carolinians think the nation is heading in the wrong direction. 46%. Thinks the state is also on the wrong path. Residents believe the most important issue facing the country in the state of the economy jobs in the budget deficit. Survey found respondents split equally on whether economic conditions in the country are getting worse getting better. Both groups 45 point 8% 8% say they're just not quite sure. The poll also this is herald journal found 23% of respondents felt that often or sometimes. Couldn't afford to serve their family balanced meals because there wasn't enough money during the past year. Now that's the way to herald journal reports. The street newspaper. Christie employee Groupon is reporter. Tells a different way the headline is turning a corner last most of their personal finances are getting better. target the same with purple here's her take on it most of Carolinians think their financial situation it's fair to good in getting better. According to what the latest Winthrop poll. The economy jobs in the budget from the top concerns facing the state but those concerns are easing slightly. And for the most part those polled were not stressed out about the issues frank Heppner economist College of Charleston. Quote were in the fourth of a lackluster recovery either everyone's getting immune to the news. And it's just accepted this is the way things are now. Or there's an increase in confidence that's certainly better than a decrease in confidence. That emerging confidence is translating in a positive economic factors Hafner said. Retail sales have rebounded home sales have leveled out and jobs are picking up in South Carolina quote whatever can go wrong probably has already happened. Most of those polled said they had plenty to eat can afford to see the doctor for medical concerns and were taking vacations. Now that's. The same. so you got one say hey everything's cool. And get better. That's in the state but it in in the in the Spartanburg herald journal. They report that the same poll finds 59% of south Carolinians think. You know the country in the state are going in the wrong direction. And 3% said they. Often or sometimes couldn't afford to serve their balanced meal because there was enough money during the pastor this is out of the same poll. So drive folks let me ask you this. What is it for you. my own dad poll. Where do you see it it your own personal life we've done this before we let you stay at. I think we're on the precipice of absolute disaster. I use it well I think that now I I think that's absolutely wrong. I think that we are still. A nation that's better than any other. And I also believe that with the change coming up with this next election. Things are going to improve I I still believe that Obama is going to be replaced and and despite what some have said about this and you certainly included. Any one of those candidates will be better for this nation and. Obama well you know listen you know I don't know what you base that on just simple hold it not let's hope people out west by Merrill and and you look at the facts. I mean this country. Is like Greece. And the facts are Greece is teetering on the brink. And again I challenge you or anybody only all ordering on the brink financial life but that's also Whitney point week. And the figures back me up and there's no debate over that the figures back me up if you have other figures I'd love to hero I just shared with you marriage if you're smarter than The Heritage Foundation. I'm all leaders I just believe that it's it's mighty crazy not have. And the net and I believe it's a great SH idea based on hope that's one thing and I'll give it that. But I based mine on factual information. Now if you have contradicting facts I'm all leaders. But. Conditioning thing about it is these two articles in The Herald journal or the state. Offered two. Different slant on the same went for So you know I'm just curious you know Walter Williams pretty good economist he's written a again factual thing economic chaos ahead. I'll share that when he when we come back a nineteen. Parody. 46 back to the facts. And Heritage Foundation. New 2012 index of dependence on government. The facts prove. That Americans rely on government assistance of some kind government benefits. That figure now surpasses what they average americans' disposable personal income news. The facts are. Then Americans who rely on government get an average of 32748. Dollars worth of benefits the average americans' disposable personal income. Is 32446. Dollars. Great incentive to go out and work hard right. 67 point three million Americans that's actionable thing depend on federal assistance food shelter clothing college health care. Closest to and have trillion dollars a year money that we don't have. Number of Americans. Receiving federal today. Now is more. As it continues to go up the number of federal taxpayers. Continues to draw. 49 and a half percent not paying any federal income taxes it's unsustainable. More facts. Laurie Williams pretty Smart guy. Noted economist. Town dot com economic chaos ahead. factual. He writes this thing about economists weren't. Federal 2010 Medicare and Medicaid expenditures. Totaled 800 billion dollars. The projected annual growth of both programs is about 7%. Social whose security expenditures. Are more than 700. Billion dollars a year. According to the and 2009. Social security and Medicare trustees there reports. The hum by 2030. 49%. Of federal revenue. just for social security and Medicare payments. The all funded liability again factual information to both programs. Is a 106. Trillion dollars. Williams writes but not and a Congressional Budget Office again facts. Says it is possible to sustain today's level of federal spending. And get a balanced budget you know how. All the congress would have to do is raise the lowest income tax bracket of 10% to 25%. And then the middle tax bracket raise that from 25%. To 66%. And then raise the 35% tax bracket well let's jump out of the 92%. Out of work. Williams that's a static vision that assumes that people will have no response. just as hard and send more money to Washington. If congress didn't legislate such tax increases it would be the economic equivalent. Of committing national Harry Those of fax. 840 dot. About 83426. That we have 9 o'clock. News radio WORD. 106 point three FS. Single advantage talk like numbers 2329673. In Greenville Spartanburg 5749673. Robbers in greater. Good morning Alberto or fine thank you got my big fear ball Court was That the people how incurring. A yacht America figure you're current record and Europeans are pretty good. The people that are laying down low ball with great part of front. People politically to actually Green with them and want and yet they are still EDT. Austerity measures which caught the riots in the streets and I mean It brings important eagle or small amount of money won't bet it won't rule out. Right. There isn't just a great parallel for anybody really paying attention to Greece. It you know you're right people are writing because they're so used to the government dole out. Greece has finally this just came out this week. their their coalition government is finally agreed to put civil service to cut a civil service jobs. 151000. Going this year mounting international pressure to agree on these austerity measures. to keep Greece afloat. And. And it's if you know you'll. Do personal more money into which I think it yeah they may have been looking at port an important. We are the only true. And you think the rioting in Greece is I mean you see it on TV you're looking up on the Internet that's that's kindergarten compared to what's gonna happen here. And indeed the amazing thing is how stubborn rob there's a great parallel because Americans that it just. They just don't believe it they're just hoping that things get better. I mean it then the blaze dot com Glenn Beck's website had this Monday that this announcement of cutbacks 151000 dollar and 151000. Civil service jobs. Signals a shift in Greece is policy state jobs have so far been protected. During this financial crisis in Greece which started two years ago. But finally they they've had they yet they've had to face. The the music. And you gotta pay the piper. So. Now at the last minute they're trying to push through these reforms and those haven't even been agreed to by the new coalition government. Because. I mean they got a bit you Robin Wright they got to bail out deal from the European partners and the International Monetary Fund which we'd give the most money to. Just to avoid a march default on under bond repayments. So there's I mean there's a great it's just undeniable. You know what what what's coming around the it's been common for a long time. How we're talking about this new Winthrop poll though. The state newspaper reports it saying most south Carolinians think their financial situation is fair good and getting better. These former herald journal reports on the same polls saying that. 59% of south Carolinians think the country's going the wrong way in the states on the wrong way to. So I ask okay so how do you see it in your own personal situation and you know we're getting a lot of response here on the Paramount a text line Ross my financial situation is better. But it's better because we lost our home. And we were forced into bankruptcy. So we have no Beatles but we also have nothing else that signed Jennifer. Ross were already beyond hope I wouldn't even know where to go for the Obama stash. What are we going to do when the news gets out to us working folks we are doomed when that when the great one gets you know reelected. for me in my personal life things are going downhill pretty fast. Ross thank you for reporting on the Winthrop poll it is made it clear to me our problem. Are experts. The other one more call here Kelly on a cellphone hi Kelly. Heidi I attorneys. You know I'm no hope hope like police shots I'm also realistic yeah. And and I actually my husband and I on the Green belt to they have peers across from each right. And we where they're appearing at a time I'm my husband's job about a moderate related. I thought it was done here junction. exactly the decision to just relocate so she could live so embarrassed. Which you know the economy was at a hearing Greenbelt compared to keep straight. To make some serious. Serious sacrifices. I think what Americans need to do is just a really evaluate. Their lifestyle. And. Just to be blind and ignorant of the facts is just you did does not bode well for one's future. You have to be willing to let go of that lifestyle that may and I celebrated acts. Tony that's lacking and it actually can't refrain forged ultimate story in a couple of in Atlanta I twenty as we do it literally at the lowest point financially. We actively told that wedding rings the goal now five years ago I would have thought we would have taken some wonderful chat. And you know I think it's a look forward to now being South Carolina since we've spent we have found work. We have the we have worked hard to. Am I it's not near as much money as we were used to making. That we truly downsized to an apartment so we can rebuild. I think I think you've realized the truth and now you're trying to deal with that with the best when you can't Bravo 839. Welcome back page 4515. Away from nine. He's just gives strangers and folks it this is astounding to me face federal appeals court. Has ruled that American seniors. Who get Social Security. Cannot reject their legal right to Medicare benefits. It's a rare case of someone suing to get out of a government entitlement. But you can't. Former house majority leader Dick Armey was just in the upstate with freedom works last week is among the five senior citizens. Who sued to stop their automatic eligibility for Medicare. This appeals court ruled in a split decision. That the law gives them no way to opt out. If they wanna keep your Social Security benefits. Army and his co plaintiffs say their private insurers limit their coverage because they are eligible for Medicare but they would prefer the coverage from their private insurers and the federal government. Not only wants to you government. But they they have appointed judges and made laws that say you can't get off your addiction. If this is not crystal clear to of the war immediate change. That we need in in the governmental structure we have I I I can't I can't make a more compelling case. If you can't say what I'm telling you then I'm there's nothing else I can do. You got that dependency index up their from The Heritage Foundation. You've got watery Williams the coming economic chaos you've got court's ruling that even if you want to. You can't opt out of Medicare. And and people say that they actually think things are gonna get better through. Mike in I wanted to make Laporte but I wanted to talk about a letter from big didn't feel bad. They're good government meant to this country so bad that does have to sacrifice lucky deal. If the punctured the in this country that is sort of like department. got got to do but that's too bad about the rest for a dramatic that. They Catholic and believe. You know this healthcare thing nor are right right to more than just the post the bit to get. I can't to be every bit of a bit there that. Well and Warren Warren cannot believe that one like Caribbean principal all the it or whatever but don't get. You know. did it take the First Amendment I don't care how. Popcorn you no doubt what color it and say that it's not about haven't accepted their health care all that whatever or do whatever. There could tell And religion is gonna get that Beckett and right into an agnostic. You know I don't I think that. That are at church did get a text that Vincent spent the good wallop that. Libertarian animals go wherever it went well I'm the district they're split but I don't have I don't care what you think what you wanna call it are brought. In regard to a Catholic or haven't you don't get that Canada. And there was a poll yesterday 40% of people think and they don't really care about the constitution anymore India and people like that things are gonna get better but you're you're right you're so right on about this. And I think Limbaugh pointed this out the other day. That this whole thing and I'm gonna give you the latest information there's new news on this coming up within the next hour so you can stay tuned but the ball said the same thing. He said this latest Obama mandate through obamacare. Is is an assault on the constitution. And that's what Obama and his cronies are all about. 849. 563. Minutes away from the next traffic and weather update disabling squeeze it a few phone calls here Simpson. hi Jim. Mora my dog's. Tail off but it didn't realize. It ought to pull out. It up a picture really bit it give it proper. I'll do it too little. It's wrong to blow. Couldn't give adjustment and or to basically right hello I'm just It up. These people that are out there. It's been beaten to abortion depending borrow and body and it it just don't understand all talk and strategic is over and over. Well the conclusion I've come to is first of all they're not righteous people there there this scum of the worse because most of them. They're only concerned with one thing and that is continuing their power over us their control over is they've been corrupted by the system. You know Leo saying about power and absolute power you're well familiar with that. And I just don't know how in the only other I guess possible explanation. Is just how clueless they are there and they're supposed to be so Smart and they're clueless. I mean they they just don't have any idea. First of all on the mess that they created. And then of course the solution to the course of may have a solution they would've created the mess in the first place yet people are always looking for the next great thing. You know Somalia and text me about. We've been talking about all morning long in the ultimate question is can we can we pull ourselves. Out of it. And the brought up you know Reagan. It let me tell you something folks just my opinion I get paid opinions. There in this current crop. There are running for the Republican nomination. Date they couldn't. Ronald Reagan's jock strap. And as a matter of fact. The elitist in the Republican Party. They break. talked about all the DA is a regular Really. But that's so why would they do that. Oh come election time they claim that they were pleased with Reagan and and helped Reagan and the torch has been passed on to them by gimme gimme a break their records records prove otherwise. I hope and I prey course I know how the story turns out because I believe in the Bible. You know there's no denying the prophecy I see it unfold every day just me. But. If you're if you're looking to Washington for a solution you're looking in the wrong place at age 59.

    Thu, 9 Feb 2012

    We 6 minutes past 7 o'clock good morning folks Cassel I'm not gonna get the phone numbers yet because. That is something I gotta say now I'm not changing the rules should talk about what you wanna talk about but I will tell you as I told folks in the first hour we're loaded for bear today. I got a stack of stuff. That I'm trying to get at least 60% in today because I think it's that important. So. The chance to take phone calls is going to be a little bit more limited than normal. Did a good format constraints. But just some stuff that you've got to hear. Feel free to comment on batteries and elves and the quickest way to do that is via become an open text line which is 7130 Com and let me Begin this way if Clint Eastwood said in a commercial that it's halftime. In America. Let me tell you what I'm about to share with few proves that we are now all the way past halftime way past the third quarter. Is a matter of fact I think we're in its sudden death over time. You know it hangs in the balance. You know who knows what's gonna happen in the next hour in the next day. Or certainly before we get to November before before the end of this year I don't claim to know I see a lot of disturbing signs. But this proves to me. We truly are at the crossroads we or in sudden death overtime. And were playing for the survival of the country. I heard this yesterday you may have heard it but it was after our show was over. So wanna give you a chance to hear it if you haven't heard it it if you already heard it and comment upon it. The Heritage Foundation does something every year called index of dependence on government. And this is just incredible. They found that the average American. Relying on federal government assistance now gets more and benefits. And the average americans' disposable personal income. Now it's more benefits than the average americans' disposable. Personal income. This index reports and Americans are reliant on government. Or receive a staggering. The average of 32748. Dollars worth benefits. Which now surpasses the average americans' disposable personal income. Which is 32446. Dollars. Parted from that more than 67 point three million Americans. Now depend on federal assistance for everything from food shelter clothing. To college tuition. And health care. These benefits cost taxpayers. Two and half trillion dollars. A year. When you hear the word. Unsustainable. These numbers. Answer that question and there is noted debate. Now the question is what do we do about it and can we do anything about it a moment seven not 710. Sort cost taxpayers two and a half trillion dollars a year. 32748. Dollars worth of benefits. Surpassing the average americans' disposable personal income 32446. Dollars folks then. And it looked Richard W two. folks already have their taxes Dolan. Others progressed to like many. Of which you look at that number. And that's taken out federal taxes. taxes. It does it ever occur to you. When you're doing the sort of people just not pay attention to only care about is there will refund which essence an interest free loan to the federal government that you provided. All throughout the year and you think it's a good thing that they decide to give you. Some of your money back. Something's got to change sometimes got to change dramatically. And here's the other staggering. Fact which proves it's not halftime and America were in sudden death. While the number of Americans receiving federal aid to. Continues to rise the number of federal taxpayers continues to drop. 49 and a half percent. Of Americans do not pay any federal income tax. William co authored this and Heritage Foundation. Said quote the danger of a growing government dependent population is that it's voting for more benefits. That end up dead end up being paid. By fewer taxpayers. At some point this unsustainable. Fiscal model will collect apps. In to quote. Now what do we do about. Well beach says to reverse this disturbing course. He says congress must rein in federal spending we know that. Reform welfare and entitlement programs. That I would simply have reformed and you got to eliminate some. Is just that simple. What just unsustainable you can't keep to. And he says encourage more community based aid and personal responsibility. Here's were one thing I agree I disagree. With mr. beach. He said quote dependency is that a bad thing. I think dependency news. I think it's a horrible. Because I I think that. The key to success. Is learning how to be. Self reliant. But he said dependency is in a bad thing but when aid from private charities communities and neighbors. Is replaced with bureaucratic programs researcher knows that Americans are less likely to prosper. And achieve true independence. He's exactly right. It is staggering. More about this in a moment. Our phone lines are open now advantage talk on numbers rebuilt 2329673. Spartanburg 574. 9673. We start with Jason I Jason. That are buried there on line. Our color good bit error and you know listen to you and your priest for intelligent manner. But when you we'll talk about it every two minute ago I'm cardinal on woman Slovak figures out they're probably theater there's a packet well. Bump however are usually. With a all. I usually get around 800 do without power back quite in the same thing this year in the mile wide vote claims you're. Many who will be here I got actually thousand dollars this year. And it what you were structured are about the the welfare and that includes their stubborn. And it there's only one solution I'd like he said hey hey you know if you want welfare state is going to be dependent tortured again. And we have got deputy district argued Start drug tested a law mean unfortunately there's going to be some innocent and better probably. Gonna wind up getting messed up but it but the big figures need to go through drug testing could be figured it out I know cost of let It increases probably. We daily. But you know went for our country is not stamp or something along that said what's my incentive. To go to work owner occupied more around to it not that. You know on a big government which is what I call it. The. They are I'd I'd the only thing I would disagree with your interest and we we're way past the fine tooth come home. We we have to go win. To this whole thing with with a hatchet with a bulldozer. And what Americans do not understand news. This is going to cause the collapse of the entire country there's not going to be anything left for anybody. You're right there are in And shut off all ornate because. Well they do you look at those figures and I have. And I agree with you but that's that just scratches the surface. That will not solve this problem. Our current argued through some order cricket and now right in my degree behind Mike. Our outlook indeed talking about if you read the quote Albania a number of taxpayers are dropped and and the people on. Government assistance can't. And it the funny thing is. Our I'm sure apart from day where of the right to call mark and that he should Kapalua the right failed. It's the scene they know that being jailed on Eddie said basically that Thai capital global work. Until people realize they vote themselves money. Now at the founding fathers warned about that too. But in in here's a thing since you mentioned marks men investor's business daily broke down this heritage a study. And the headline dependency index surges 23%. Under President Obama. Obama is Obama. ST mark Carl marks marks all aren't. An end and you know it's crystal clear when you when you lay it out in the numbers. The cut the country. He is teetering on the brink Mike. Where if people don't believe me when I say that there's a couple of new polls while one an adult Winthrop this morning that we're gonna talk about. To me how that this is being reported in two totally different way some people I'm just doing just fine but most people look at and say your country's headed in the wrong direction. What and the Iraq wrong direction at the DR. and most of that. But at godaddy patriot FDR not a low after the presidency insuring for ever a Democrat party. Because he bought so many votes spike started people on notebook security boot government aid and now you got people need hardworking people that I know hold up couple let's. That they don't. They don't want you reform out of security or yet they're part of it or Medicare or whatever you do that why campaign and that for years in And I don't know. They're the other hooked on the heroin that that is government and I don't even realize. That there are addicted to that's the sad thing I in the same kind of people might. I mean the average person that you come in contact with do you think they have idea. Of of what we're talking about here do you think do you think they get a hole or two hours. You cannot neighbors sat upright irritated at the pub. By the pop goes up that's about all I care about. Yet they get all upset at and their gas station or oil company about the price of gasoline right. But yet but yet they really don't get that upsets at the government and what the government has done to us as long as they get that government check. That's all they see they literally. Cannot see the forest for the trees. mean really I should a long time ago one of the reasons I argue against big government. It becomes more more intrusive into our lives that take more more of our money in the use it to buy votes. And yeah that is it that's not even up for debate. Thank you 790. 726. Now 26 past 7 o'clock news radio WORD. Ross castle at your service instant response. Via these prominent by text line 71307. unsustainable. Isn't a proper description.

You look at what you Then you look at what you're left with. That your personal disposable income. so for those just tuning Heritage Foundation. Just publish their 2012 index of dependence on government and they found the average American relying on federal government assistance. Now receives more in benefits they average americans' disposable personal income. Americans who rely on government received an average 32748. Dollars worth the benefits. Which is more than the average americans' disposable personal income. Of 32446. Dollars. 67 point three million Americans depend on the feds for everything from food shelter clothing to college tuition and health care. Kostis two and half trillion dollars a year Mike is in Spartanburg how might. A radar contacts that Israel were a lot closer to communism and socialism and we thank. There's not only are we able to now work and he beat paid by the government but. Now they're starting Q while you may just do what they want us to do to those benefits not a graduate and start making us work. Community service stuff like that you think they're taught about sixteen hours a week if you wanna get on. It might that was that's already been shot down that that's not gonna happen unfortunately. But they get delegates there and eventually it'll be anywhere. No I just don't work you gonna do it we want you do it here you were already ideology stops you have no choice. Topic Borger our partner. All right thank you sir and one more here on a cell phone I had. Good morning. I agree with you that it's got better in the wrong direction and detect tactic to what's going out for sure radical changes start but it's got back into order that it's gonna create chaos broke there's not gonna tailspin and. And the way I see it either way you're gonna have chaos. Either way it's unavoidable yet you are your scenarios right but my scenario is right to. Because when the whole thing comes Gresham then you don't think there's going to be chaos. It's utterly ridiculous that's why don't I. Artists like anybody or Obama MO because I was reading yesterday the times example and a the price of is now back down to work was back in August 090809. So. Yeah yeah you better get it while you can hopefully you know you'll find a way not to have to use it but that but I I just think this whole thing is unavoidable at. 729. 35 times in the two minute drill WORD sports with factor thank big Skyler scored a career high eighteen points to lead the balls of Tennessee.

I don't need to change the subject but a lot of shares of what you guys thought you might ought to be the and there's local. Advertisement but it won't mean the name of it. It talks about. From that and talking about. On the HR 3200 builder they don't care bill. On pages between 1003. To 1005. And this year compliment a microchip for everybody on March 23 2013.

I mean people remember Nancy blows while we got to pass it to find out what Tenet well. We found out all the things that are course most recently this whole controversy over forcing churches. And other any other organization to provide employee insurance which includes abortions and contraceptives. And even sterilization. The astounding thing to me is this. we have learned and continue to learn about obamacare. Why. Aren't the Republicans up there if they really are against this why aren't they using this on Boehner came out yesterday. But my goodness now is time for the full court press. And yeah okay Harry Reid may shoot it down but we got an election coming up Obama the dome may veto it. But at least make the attempt. I don't see a lot of people passionately making the attempt to get rid of this monstrosity thank you sir 739. Right 74614. That we got 8 o'clock news radio WORD 106 point three FM. like your service Ingles advantage talk like numbers. 232 WORD. That's 2329673. In Greenville Spartanburg 5749673. The top by text line 71307. And my email here an email I got Ross @entercom.com. Salmon itself. Are you dormitory but I am under certain but you know that I looked again this morning gala got here and all the things that you talk about on the air. Sam called at home yesterday. And I had which asked me. I ask you about the lady it's viewed. Google and tried to ban that sentiment has stopped off she said it was Wal-Mart got an even though which you tell me it was big daddy no grand daddy's grandstanding or whatever dot com Wal-Mart my opponent where upside knocking it banded anyway so I'd love that woman. They're probably at the sun logo remember I know to a comedian Bob and language here our. well anyway and in the words of Jerry Karr or the walkman phone outcry you've been only. And look. We've got to get that warm and Kolb back vehement elsewhere in the world she got that sentiment respect we're in the irony that this. I can't how originally called about. The media just pollen all over self about Rick Santorum NetSuite there but not I just got home and was looking in my email and somebody sent me all the accomplishments of President Obama. And the first to own did you know the President Obama apply. Four foreign. Our college paid as of Orange spewed at. And then they're not big he's a partner. And then he's got a Social Security number of formats Betty never live Well yes and and the other thing that I would throw when we talked about this. Apparently. But there's written about an American dot com this morning. Obama is going to be on the Georgia ballots because the Georgia secretary of state Brian camps. Although I'll refer to mr. Brian Has gone along with the judge's final decision and Obama's name will appear. On the Georgia Tony twelve ballot come November. Which is just. Just astounding and you can read about it and American comments piece by Cindy Simpson the headline there is Georgia rules for Obama habit georgians are so proud. 749. 755. It's just amazing everytime this come people just. I guess they don't wanna hear the truth. There were of this new study between twelve index of dependence on government put up by The Heritage Foundation which. Really confirms what a lot of us have known for a long time but it's it's still staggering to read about it the average American relying on federal government assistance. Now and it's more in benefits. Than the average americans' disposable personal income. The index reports Americans rely on government get an average 32748. Dollars worth the benefits. Which surpasses the average americans' disposable personal income. A 32446. Dollars. I mean all these benefits food shelter clothing college tuition healthcare cost taxpayers two and a half trillion dollars the year. We're 67 point three million Americans now. Depending on some form of federal assistance. So it's totally unsustainable. I mean anybody knows that anytime you talk about the kind of changes that have to be made its choice. Did you get an email like this Ross there's really only one solution to americans' problems. Kill everyone over 55 who cannot drag a 2000 pound car through the desert in ten minutes sound ridiculous. In your right now the majority of food stamp recipients are not even Americans there illegals here in the upstate illegals enjoyed more benefits than Americans everything is provided for them. Including quote quote free mammograms. Go to the grocery store and watch expensive birthday cakes are being paid for with food stamps gift cards. In hundred dollar amounts are being given to illegals new parents they buy gas. You another pitiful people should start demanding. The immediate murder of all people on social security and the unemployed Americans so that your new slaves will live a little better. You actually keeps. Anyway do email me before and just a very angry woman. Should make a point about illegals which. In by the listens regularly of this program. I've been on this warmer than any other talk show host on this radio station. And there is something about it but it did the reaction to this is already predictable foxnews.com. Republicans target child tax break for illegals. Associated Press actually did the story Republicans are looking to deny it. Child tax credits to illegals. Refund checks average 18100 dollars. In an effort that has aroused anger among Hispanics and some Democrats. The proposal get this which would require people who claimed a federal credit to have Social Security numbers to prove their legal workers. Is being offered as a way to help pay for extending the Social Security tax cut for most American wage. it would trim federal spending by about ten billion over a decade. Well senate majority leader Harry Reid. Says the proposal unfairly goes after the children up for Hispanic workers. Such kids are often US citizens even when their parents because they were born in the country. Letitia Miranda senior policy advisor of the national council of a favorite of senator grim state. Quote people who are making in close to the minimum wage and are raising children in this country and were asking them. To pay for the payroll tax cut its outrageous and it's crazy. So big time you try to point out truth and try to offer the solutions that have to be implemented. You you get this predictable reaction I what are we gonna do 715 side.

This unprecedented lawsuit seeking to constitutional protection against slavery to a group of orcas. Otherwise known as killer whales that perform at SeaWorld. Saying the judge said the thirteenth amendment applies only to humans. And imagine that. I can't imagine him that's what about it before this I bet XXX noticed that he and black lab.

Become law. This it's just everywhere you look. I just just go ahead you know kiss freedom goodbye it's over ladies and squeeze in a few calls genes first IG. Yeah I called talked about two. I don't trumps an assessment of Rick Santorum yeah yeah he did not and have to remember well utilized. Santorum biggest enemy he did not Santorum endorsed Romney Romney supposed to win. Well you understand just behind on number one. This guy who voted for Barack Obama. He failed the test the blog number till this guy who endorsed Romney speak failed the test because Santorum with another free doesn't quite understand it. If you've ever been involved in every aspect of education. Per year workplace or or and any formal or informal manner. You don't let the market a good student is one who cannot who cannot meet a challenge even though he may have felt that go back to that challenge and and pursuit you can't stick to talk about count right direction Rick Santorum to challenger he's gonna make it's that doesn't know. said he doesn't get is here here's a guy. Who trump says to his knowledge suffered the worst defeat for a sitting senator in US political history. Because Santorum in Pennsylvania he lost I think it was by nineteen points like. Why else would you Obama and ands or decides to run for president. And a lot of people in conservative circles do scratch their at this. If you can't when I I said mr. Thomas and mass was santorum's standing there I mean is that if you can't win your own states then there what makes you think that you can win. The entire I didn't speculate and one I don't think Lincoln suffered a 19 morning. Regardless you were still viewed as a loser. Oh yeah big guy that's that's now all that's all old paradigms are off to the selection I really believe that. And anything's fair play our Jeanne thank you Scott's next on his self on good morning Scott. Very good point and workers this deal with the Yorkers. Well that's what a remarkable battle through the Peter all our. It and there with the late deaths that occurred. What the tigers we we don't amber at SeaWorld. Several years back and basically what what are oil look the people are involved walker earlier certain. If these buttons are are train. Work oil couples and remote patient that's not the case I mean it is what it here that's kind of like you know you feel about tiger you Mikey guilt. Now I don't listen you what you eat you we might we might get killed drop out of the sky where we're talk about it on the phone. I I would beg to differ I've been the world I've seen what they do with chairman and all the others. I think in most cases these animals have proven they are treatable and and and every day at SeaWorld here about an accident SeaWorld every day. I understand what you're letting you are not part surety which usually what in the ams there's not exactly. What goes on. When you're not a one cannot understand. about one way or the other I can't believe programmable slate is beyond my support just yet. You know under power or something underlying here out of there and let you know as big victories. I event though come on come on there's danger and everything they've got your that you do but the the absurdity of Peta trying to get a judge. say that animals have constitutional rights and therefore when held in captivity whether be at SeaWorld there. At ringling Brothers circuits which are went to over the weekend at the wireless that somehow their slaves is absolute it proves how will act out these people war. Well what they're trying to do to get it where there no more and more corporate capture. put it in that situation. Else shortly made the point yesterday after getting text they said you know if this was successful. Then you UKS every in in the country goodbye Margaret here so what are your what are we on we're gonna go to the rebels don't just open the cages. Well I'm a grown man wrap that thing and all of them don't know I'm like give them a water with a man. How much it would swim with Jim I had always remembered that they bring you know the money animal. Are these Eagles need your next night. Oh I'm about yeah. not that yeah. Exactly exactly I understand. I don't think I can think of is somebody was stand up down there and say well this is gonna cost money and we just get afforded that's the only thing I think so but. I think the advocates of this sport added it cost very little money I mean you just put like a little stamp on the driver's license. The only other argument that I can think of is you don't think about these new fancy Nancy driver's licenses Steve when you're gonna get it renewed and it has basically your life story. Imbedded into your driver's license and I maybe the stamp would. I don't know and I'm grasping at straws and I think it I mean it just comes across as anti veteran. I'm a disabled veteran and I know when our travel and Your ID card was considered Sport right well if that's why it was taken over by terrorists or whatnot. recommend you. Dropped era. ID card down in this that the wind blowing right and yeah. Yeah the kids they separate the military from the veterans from the rest of the people because they're the ones that are most likely a little trouble. And I think that not. Of the veterans are most likely to call up or would be targeting at that at all yet they is that is that what you better you'd did you mean the veterans are more likely to cause trouble. I what I meant we get who she dried out what is that they keep the colony and then beat the Jerry would keep it around you can't be able to segregate each and. A little bit better. if if they got that Affected because I know some veterans. It would it would never get down before where they were checking my driver's license anyway 690. a federal judge in San Diego throwing out a lawsuit by the people for the ethical treatment of animals seeking a court order forcing SeaWorld 35 workers the judge ruled that a lawsuit on behalf of killer whales could not be brought onto the anti slavery thirteenth amendment to the US constitution because it applies to human beings not animals but Peta calls the lawsuit a victory another step taken the day all animals will be free from meant for human amusement SeaWorld denies any mistreatment and calls the a publicity stunt. Saatchi and so. Fox News radio Schimago all right and these prominent text line 71307. Rusted originate in California. I don't probably. I mean I but I don't know for sure. Bob Ross.

A judge early noted that he would not typically treat a domestic violence charge in a similar jocular lighthearted manner quote quote the court.

The federal government out at age if not other bits and had a lot to talk about. President Obama is going to be releasing ten states from the No Child Left Behind restrictions. And he's expected to make an announcement later this morning but Carolina South Carolina is not one of them I'll have your call as I take it and and I'm reading an article and I haven't finished it by Charles Marie. Which clearly lays out there is no need for a federal Department of Education goes back to the founding fathers absolutely correct 639. Right six that we got 7 o'clock news radio WORD. 106 point three FF me advantage lines. Open for whatever you like to talk about Greenville 2329673. Spartanburg and 5749673. V power muddled by text blind is 713071. the last caller. Because we just ran out of time they're up against the updated enough. It just makes a point that has been made many many times but. It's not just when we talk about it and there is no role. For government. When it comes to education is the ultimate responsibility. Or does it for educating a child. Charles Murray the American Enterprise Institute. Ironically I didn't know the last caller who's gonna call about this but I've been reading something that he wrote. the Hillsdale College website. Which just. Just this whole thing if you want to educate yourself. There and that's were education really comes from educating yourself. You gotta read this you can Google it Charles Marie do we need the department of education and I don't return to read the whole thing but it is. From a speech that he gave in Atlanta. Back in October last year at a conference. On markets government and the common good. And he lays out. A pretty compelling case. He writes a case for the Department of Education can rest on one or more. three likes. It's constitutional appropriateness the existence of serious problems in education that can be solved only at the federal level. And or its track records since it came into being any he considers them in that order but. The first one is the Department of Education constitutional. And what he lays out is just. And here it is in at the time the constitution was written education was not even considered a function of local government let alone the federal government. But the shaking as of the department of education's constitutionality goes beyond that. Article one section eight of the constitution enumerate the things over which congress has the power to legislate not only does the list not include education. There's no plausible rationale for squeezing education and under the commerce clause. He says I'm sure the Supreme Court found rational but it cannot have been plausible. If it is not it's not even. Really debatable. Bottom he lays out on a more philosophical level the level the framers of America's limited government had a brought allegiance to what Catholics called. The principle of subsidiary. In the secular world the principle of subsidiaries. Somebody had never heard about but. Means that local government key point here. Should do only those things that individuals can not do for themselves. State government should do only those things that local government cannot do. And the federal government should do only those things that the individual states cannot do education is something. That individuals acting alone and cooperatively can do let alone something local or state government can do. Many plays up the case or other serious problems in education they can be solved at the federal level and his third point is so what is the federal government's track record and education you can read for yourself. But his conclusion is absolutely spot on in my opinion and here's what he says. He lays out case well sorry my computer. Just went crazy again but he lays out part as far as I can determine this is troll that Department of Education has no track a positive accomplishment. Nothing. In the national numbers on educational achievement nothing in the improvement of educational outcomes for the disadvantaged. Nothing in the placement of educational practice it just spends a lot of money. And so this brings us to the practical question he writes if the Department of Education disappeared from next year's budget. Would anyone really notes. Six more coming up on 650 XV by text line 71307. Rusted that he weather girl just say snow flurries. I'm gonna run against some bread. assigned silly southerners who wouldn't know what a real snowstorm laws if it kicked him in the I'm Begin mother nature is bipolar no kidding. and your question on education responsibility for educating children falls with the parents no one else. Department of Education fulfills the mandate in the Communist manifesto. For centralized government control of child programming. Save your children's minds remove them immediately. Process South Carolina when the worst in the country in education. So that's why we are staying in No Child Left Behind also. Why didn't President Bush repeal. Things that make ago. And even but I'm sorry my kids up there and tar heel state I'm Mike. Good morning about the late know the You mark. All gold by just fine but about the good old almost on Columbia dipped more than bet that stock and that night I sat out your years ago. That mirrors the young people's republic Chela all the only other state that you can do that it. And that is through certainly old veteran. Compensation check. That the but not taxable checked that disable veterans we serve you Tibet or that reason so that affects how it's able to get it. And what I complain about it night until that I'm Nicole just adopted like explain what this objectives are. Then that this that you can't. This can't be used it considered income by the US coast bit. Get moderate. abolished alcohol you would not and well Bridget and Eric that's not the golf and that beer drinking buddy staked out their work. Disabled veterans compensation is and installed in the state of South Carolina. I was unaware that until you told me just now. Yeah there's this whole thing about what is considered income has just gotten away you know one of the things that kills me is like people win the lottery. Okay and all the publicity is they won millions of dollars nobody didn't. Because there's the state the federal government are gonna take care one half of that or more. And and and that most them are gonna take any you know the immediate payout rather than you know that the total that's publicized. And so it's all fraudulent but it why in the world if you go wild. And take the risk and invest in in a lottery ticket if you look at it as an investment. What why are they entitled why they are entitled to any interest to buy if I decide to work hard and save money. Why why would they in the entitled to any part of that it's when I die and have worked all my life. And I've already paid taxes on that money why would they be entitled to it to the death tax I mean. On and on it on we go. We'll pick all this hoopla. You here wonder. But you've got the shirt what everybody else because it's year old beauty yeah they had a citizen of this country flight they look at it so do it but not that pot smoke into edit plopped. Instead we're not enough wheat to get off and check about the attack. Taxpayers. I don't think you left any group out there but anyway I think they give might I think let's say up there 659.

And outside the offices. Or. Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich and all the GOP welfare freaks. Who -- Obviously he's stolen the drugs cause the last part of that make -- read it again I'm forests -- death -- senator. At fox news headquarters and outside the offices.

Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich and all the GOP welfare freaks. Vodka -- has long been outspoken about politics he supported Barack Obama's surprise surprise and VOA presidential election. And his country he has contributed to the Huffington Post figures but this is the first known time. He has stooped to the level of making threats. Wishing for a satanic death -- senator. And while the US constitution protects his right. To speak his mind some critics are saying he should be more careful about what he says since he has more than 200000. Twitter followers. Quote his provocative tweaks could easily -- a rabid fan to commit violent acts against fox news headquarters. And others -- names start Carole Lieberman a Beverly Hills based psychiatrists at. Friends cannot only be influenced because of their devotion to -- sacked. The man but also because of their love for one of the characters he plays. Cooper Lawrence the author of cult of celebrity told fox. Quote the fear is about a celebrity influence someone to do something violent run of character -- does your devotion to of these celebrity. The fear is that someone who has already vulnerable. Mentally disturbed. Already considering something dangerous may be encouraged to do so. If advocated by their favorites. Are are a few of my goodness. Yeah you can imagine what kind of treatment this would be getting. If some right wing radio talk show host. Had had said that -- and anyway. Pure sector. Apparently has just been signed to play Edgar -- poll. In the raven. The movie about a serial killer who use Edgar Allen who uses Edgar Allan -- stories. As inspiration. For his killing spree. They also say could be doing his career some damage. Image consultant Michael sands says acoustic should be worried. That is the -- two words could turn off some of his.

The trooper I know that were very well when I got fired in 1992 and agree builders rent a front page story about me getting fired in 99 to those -- been fired. The manager at the station that time said there's nothing but to operative about this you think -- No he was the kind of guy he he it was an all America is desk he had that didn't do word of the day you know we had to use it in a sentence. --

No I did not -- on -- money you know old I'm able. And it back there are reluctant to -- that he made in the Arab. But I can't stand -- the problems political piece. Got a -- testing at all.

He's in in a lot of movies at least in my memory I remember seeing him in a lot of movies nothing really major. I mean I don't. I don't think he's -- what do you do if if it's somebody who is when you associate a movie with an event in your life for something and then later on they start acting insulin.

The I mean it's do we had to order that is -- you're gonna change about the equal there and there attitude than their that are. More are all but. And that's how -- about -- for a spot and met today aired he even be an entertainer being bought as -- That's surprise.

All that is I said that he. So he actually had a -- moment. That's good I mean there's always hope you know -- for for people like that. I haven't influence I mean it really -- when your -- learned how what a lefty Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins were. I did like that even though they did great movies like bull Durham you know I mean it's it's just it.

It turns and -- neat well the problem there used it to. It's hard watching when you know that there --

Did you go to the next time I'm -- across the table because I don't I don't go to movies much. But the excitement level across cable and I see John -- sexson move -- keep on flippant.

Yeah two gunmen and you expect but I. Read. Which way out there. It is a friend of mine at red meat from I don't do a lot and -- but he that he can -- don't need it. There -- Obama's. Health care policy. Indeed must have a these these right doubt that it was you know whatever.

From what I've read I believe that to be true and and also would not only them but they the Amish are exempted. So. That is all about and maybe you know converting two to the Amish friends.

But I didn't know I don't I can't Obama's. 100 more agenda. The Muslim.

Yeah. It would be a good light so you know you'd everywhere you go you. You don't go portion bogey if the were NetSuite look at the year you didn't get where -- And Kelly McGillis McGillis witnessed here in fort -- that.

You guys. Don't look back at work.

Well -- say that cinema but we've already made other plants but thank you very. Appreciate that let me -- fountain and yes Chris.

I arm confirming actors and our political bulletin board not. Try to ignore that as much as possible yeah -- your politics are listening. Yeah. I won't be able to enjoy a good.

Every star or. Well it -- but once you know what you know it is not like you can block an Al. -- how can you.

I didn't story that's orders now I have never been expanded John Cusack. But -- expect and of George Romero a bit of banning it is for years he instantly a little on the left. Is it wrong don't like somebody you not agree with the politics.

That's that's the question and I'll just tell you for me Chris just for Mary. If if you -- gonna. If you're gonna have beliefs. And if they're going to be strongly held beliefs. Then why would you take your hard earned money. And -- support somebody who's the absolute opposite extreme of what you truly believe if you think they're wrong. They're wrong why would you wanna give me your money.

I'll look at -- this play. Good example. --

It's is it if it would be like saying. That you believe adultery is wrong and your married and then you go play if you don't pay a prostitute.

There -- get back at that point. But. Yes it's hard for me too I mean as long as people treat each other with respect our. I you know respect people's -- police but when they start making comments like -- site yet I've gotten a useful.

you can agree to disagree industry you can believe -- but I think it's an entirely different deal to say okay you got the right to say that. But then turn right around it and you you've got the opposite view maybe extreme opposite view. And and then you go fork over your money to support him I I I just don't understand that and that's why I think these Hollywood celebrities that do that. Or just stupid you know who was really smart about this people like Michael Jordan. And I actually Tiger Woods. That day they would not. You know have like Michael Jordan was asked a bunch of things politically issues wise. It at all he was thinking about is more you know I don't care I'm gonna say anything -- I want everybody to buy that Hanes underwear. Okay 641 let's get an update from mr. Remember we have all the lines and all the little 7 o'clock so don't like the topic this hour only every day you could change. Tom. -- now I just got this on the top modeling texting line -- read the tweet and headline carefully on the coast sex story. It's misleading. With a metal -- But here's my source. Foxnews.com. Headlined by Jo piazza. Is John Cusack calls for satanic death of Fox News and GOP leaders. And here's what it's actor John Cusack went on a caustic Twitter rampage. Sunday evening attack -- former house majority leader Dick Armey. Former house speaker Newt Gingrich and Fox News and here's the quote from the -- I am for a -- satanic. Death cult senator. And fox news headquarters. And outside the offices. Of Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich and all the GOP welfare freaks. Now that's. -- That's a problem text messages he can explain how that's misleading. He had the Gucci sweaters and Twitter you only have a very -- a limited amount that it sleeps. I can because he doesn't have the conversation with someone and it might have been something sarcastic it might have been joke around. Well -- the -- in the -- and for a satanic death colts center at Fox News and obviously he's upset about the mosque. And it's been cold called the -- got -- stuff and so there's I guess he's firing back at that I don't know why he's attacking Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich. And and what does it all the GOP welfare freaks me.

Payload. Is and -- just -- high.

It. I've got trouble court for. Where it's -- assert it and then our electors it got into politics. How long visit -- access factor -- consider the bottom of the barrel but still there like in order to. --

Yeah but the bottom of the barrel he would because that's where I've always -- politicians.

and politician or go without.

And and you -- salesman but I'm beginning to like used car -- a lot better than I knew John Cusack.

goal that. It werder Chris talking about the different opinions. Got to agree with you can have differences of opinion that of course so what -- structure where that don't allow Iraq. To. Expressed -- difference of opinion right. It's -- you have the apple liberalism or social didn't -- you -- abnormal lab strive to store apple. Did it disagree a little is so much to play it matter that -- not. Fascist -- mostly via and that hasn't fired what we have normal little.

But again an adult I I just think the point of this lesson we can disagree that the people on this program we disagree every single day. But but here's -- I just don't understand how if you disagree with somebody and you're really really think that then they're wrong. Q given your money. I think that's a different thing you can say let's just agree to disagree but it would have to be mortal enemies but I wanna give my money. To some of these actors after I hear what they re really think about things I just think that's cross -- Milan but that's just me but thanks anyway. Now 631 out news radio WORD.

There are other things in the news this morning but in the meantime open lines all the way to seven. Terri is next on a cellphone hi --

Take -- morning I got a kick scary. There -- the next level your comment that you you you cannot according Hollywood actress and actor.

Does John sectors in the news.

Exactly. Be put it to your vote on the court so I senior law and -- at each other. -- commercial -- here.

I didn't he could.

I don't partial. Or. Click okay. And academic. -- commercials four do you remember.

It's like I can't remember it. Like the HD radio or cable feb you don't have to not cable talking about how long you wait for your. -- to catch up at the thought process.

that is not me are you sure. But yeah I'm. Sure it's not. Just here.

Thank you can't make a blanket statement that you wouldn't support her that you correctly that agreed to let. If you that and you're gonna have to develop a lot to Tropicana interpret that that you pay for every day and you're gonna have to figure out a way. -- I'm actually honey I can't have a currently it -- it's been getting back your government that we certainly agree that we don't know they're. You know why for example when you get to elect John. Bet that you can agree with politically they can't believe that.

Here character making this way too complicated. -- explain it. I. Don't know and what I appreciate I appreciate the opportunity there is no way. To know. You know what the it many many times -- for most of the time there's no way to know. What they ideology is or the political philosophy as I can only deal with what I do know so to use your scenario. If I were to go in to a restaurant and I get seated at a table.

We met them all pro. Go back and.

There's a button on or or she walks up in you know does goes with the small talk you know what you want to drink and all this kind of stuff. And then all of a sudden she launches into -- let me quote John Cusack. I just what did you do announcer I am for a satanic death -- her. Fox news headquarters and and -- let me throw this and I hate that talk radio too don't you. Well let me tell you Terry what I'm gonna. I'm gonna look I'm -- say thank you very much. I'm gonna get up I'm gonna walk out and I'm gonna speak to the manager on the way out. And I'm gonna say listen you can hire whoever you want to we don't -- all agree on everything but guess guess who's never coming back into this restaurant and -- gonna tell everybody I know about this little left bleeding liberal flaming waitress --

Not totally agree with the premiere I really do agreed to appoint. You want the other college but this is that they actually like the work on that. -- Now that the political believe so they're. The current law to feed and I can say that. Interstate network or little you got that well exactly and Emanuel -- with that -- disagree with politically.

No no no no no no -- let me let me make this really really simple. When when an actor or anybody else for that matter. -- chooses to you know get in the media what -- like John Q sect now on this Twitter thing. And and they want to express that that's fine it's their American right to do it I'm just saying now with this knowledge. I'm I choose not to support him. Which with my money I can sit here and -- and I really I'm serious about this on not just doing this because we're on the radio. I would never paid my money to see a John to -- moving again I until December about Susan Sarandon and Tim rob.

And -- absolutely the right. All -- and yet I can't turn your statement that a little more are reaching at what point are --

If I'm dealing with the noun not the unknown because a lot of people may -- have real -- really different ideology and really different political feelings that I do that's fine. But you know what they tend to keep it to themselves. An -- and that's fine you don't I can't deal with what I don't know. I can't deal with what I -- I I I -- another example quickly Terry. -- whoever I hire somebody to do work for me or even when I'm deciding whether I'm gonna talk about a client here on the radio. You know what's -- the first questions I asked them do you employ illegals. And if they say yes I say thank you very much.

Yeah I mean homer I'm not gonna -- Now we disagree about this whole problem of illegals but again you know what --

And I and I can't. I don't iMac but misunderstood trend that said Erica I heard -- let them but Laura are reaching out when I'm on vacation and -- are just -- back.

I just don't understand. You know people who will get hope so passionate about what they think that what they believe about. You know an issue and then they'll turn right around because they're -- on the weekend they'll go shell out money -- really good movies aren't that good. And they'll shell out money and and and not make the connection of what you're really supporting. But thanks for the chance to clarify appreciate that. Let's jump up to the North Carolina where we find Stephen hi Steve.

I wouldn't support any actor or actress so that bankers of climate liberal -- watched am 51 year -- well what Stanley group. All the while -- I don't watch it anymore.

Well it -- the thing about Andy Griffith is I decided a long time ago. That Andy Griffiths who was not somebody I was gonna support because he's been outspoken. For a long long time and the latest Vegas I read I think it was a New York Post. Where were shelling out something like 750000. Dollars for Andy Griffith to do these commercials that he's doing now to promote Obama care -- that's fine. -- can do that we're just thought. I'm not support every time they run anywhere from three runs now on channel four which is what they do on the weekend -- that every sports programming.

Guess what I'm not watch it. And it.

I'm not watching. It took eight. Given that as support any actor but that is assigned by me as a Christian. Given their money to the pops.

Well yeah that's a great analogy if you really really believe something if you have deeply held beliefs. Why would you wanna go out and support something which your money that is the opposite of that it's really no more complicated than that.

That's exactly rather example it's it's straight to the point I will not support people that I did not. Believe then there are believed to be they might get now. And watch some television -- liberal -- but if there is. I don't know what I I don't they're not out and I'm I don't try to.

You can only deal with what you know you can only deal with -- Portugal and thank you Steve and I appreciate you listen up their North Carolina. And street Amanda Griffin and use it for years folks those of you go back to the music as you know you get around football sees quit Wesley and who's which is that you want or senate. They'll be had because I don't have my Michael -- until now you do now but anyway. Usually Beth and Tommy here I would always play into versus classic what it was was football. And you know what. I don't play that the more you know why does indeed Christians discipline is that I just now I despise him.

It makes me wonder about NB. It really makes me want man and be overly. Well hope. Yeah -- we've had discussions about Floyd and what about moral floor we know we know we all know that Floyd now pretty much pervert yeah we know that. Yeah. 653.

Oh okay. And good morning hi I'm.

And didn't wanna do this I just wanted to. But I must ladies and gentlemen say this is a good lesson for all you young -- numbers up there. Sometimes you must do things that you really really don't wanna do. Because it church. On the -- cancel here. Really not wanted to talk about Obama's speech but I'm I'm at least gonna bring it up so I won't be accused of ignoring them a mine and now.

Bottom anyway you go to news radio WORG dot com right there across top of the page you click on the word. You'll see our various blogs minds up there.

But it roommates who -- it sounds like you got a stomach virus Noah makes it sound more intelligent I think you don't hear I -- politics. But do you even know what roommates means no but it makes you sound board tells us that I thought I this pick you out or I don't. That anyway. You can check it out news radio W forty dot com and play for your friends -- call Alonso had to break it up and apart one important. What is -- to break them apart one -- file was too big -- file size she what does that mean I don't know what that means. It was as an itty bitty space in a really big thing that we're trying to squeeze and there are you relating -- I I don't know I -- into war. Yeah -- and all over yourself or -- go to the mark will mop the floor. Okay folks Obama's speech I I didn't. I didn't watch I did you know you couldn't -- flipping across the channel just look for anything else to watch other than Obama's speech but I did make one observation.

What is it just me. Obama look at old.

the last night when it first came on and there's a I don't know I don't know who did the makeup or whatever. -- he had rouge on. But his face was kind of -- A gaunt. Even know it looked like -- Telecom and made. After weeks that I said. Obama look like one of those what they called and Medtronic figures down at Disney World. Never been in like the presidential -- they used to have years you know if they still haven't admitted his role do you like the hall of presidents and all of president right right there you go in there and you know at the time it first came out people go -- cola. You know it now -- be like considered low tech. But Obama look like I don't know if that was really him. Certain irony Oval Office must it was like a Disney animate trying to figure that may hint that I've I'd probably won't notice that. But it my analysis of Obama's speech is pretty simple ladies and gentlemen. It's time to turn the page. On the presidency of Barack Obama to use his -- there. Anybody watched anybody comment that's fine lines are wide open you get right true. Let's get updated 710 this.

Mindful that the Iraq War has been a contentious issue at all. Here too it's time to turn the page and turned this afternoon I spoke to former president George W. Bush -- It's well known that -- and I've disagreed about the war from its ups -- that no one can doubt. President Bush's support for our troops. Or his love of country and commitment to our -- As I've said. Or patriots who supported this war and patriots who opposed. And all of us are united. In appreciation for our servicemen and women. Our hopes for iraqis' future. The greatness of our democracy is grounded in our ability to move beyond our differences. And to learn from our experience. As we confront the many challenges ahead and and no challenge is more essential to our security. That -- fight against al-Qaeda.

Why did you say you know what bush was right I was wrong. Turn the page. That's a great Bob Seger song I just remember that you're Bob singer song during the pay the --

Should learn them this is the last tournament played OK here's Obama should.

So tonight. I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq -- and Operation Iraqi Freedom is over. And the Iraqi People now have lead responsibility. For the security of their country home. This is my pledge to the American people as a candidate for this office. Western Iraq announced a plan that would bring our combat brigades out of Iraq. While redoubling our efforts to strengthen Iraq's security forces and support its government and people. That's what we've done. We've removed nearly a 100000. US troops from Iraq. -- closer transferred to the Iraqis hundreds of basis. And we have moved millions of pieces of equipment out of Iraq. This completes. The transition to Iraqi responsibility. For their own security. US troops pulled out of Iraq's cities last summer. And Iraqi forces have moved into the lead with considerable skill and commitment to their fellow service.

He's just a master doublespeak Lisovicz over. And it's time for raucous and on its own why don't we still have 50000 troops there. We still haven't you heard him say it. It's over time to turn the page.

You know.

operation is complaint I mean the only thing you didn't say he wouldn't say there's mission accomplished. He died and he doesn't have a mission -- to know what the mission is. Never asked. Quote only Iraqis can resolve their differences and police their streets only Iraqis can build a democracy within their borders. What America can do and will do is provide support for the Iraqi People as both a friend and partner okay -- fine. Bill give money give -- advice do whatever you gonna do. But -- over. I am wondering how many people in this audience still have a family member or somebody they know somebody they work with somebody goes their church. There.

Irina.

And in this is this.

See actually -- department. And government.

This is the same guy. Who in October of 2002. Said. That Iraq was quote they don't more.

This is the same guy who said and I'm quoting. When you agree with that is talking about the surge. Whether you agree with the decision to go to Iraq or -- The president this Robert Gibbs the president always believed that his mission. Was finishing what we have to do to get our men and women out of Iraq. Not to -- litigate what happened in 2002 or 2003. But the focus on first 2009 and ultimately now. In changing the direction of our mission. I mean. Obama quote. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair Weekend Warriors in this administration talking about bush. To show of their own ideological agendas down our throats irrespective. Of the cost in lives lost and and hardship board. What I'm opposed to is the attempt by Bob potential tax. Like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured. A rise in the poverty rate. A drop in the median income. To distract us from. Corporate scandals in the stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to a -- more a rash war a war based not on reason but on passion not on principle but on politics. I'll also note quoting Obama. That Saddam possesses no imminent and direct threat to the United States or to his neighbors. That the Iraqi economy is in shambles that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength.

That is that in concert with the international community. He can be contained until in the way of all petty -- the women. Until in the way of all petty dictators he falls away into the dust bin of history. That's an Obama calls yet he stand up their last night everything's hunky dory. You know argument Pritchard oppose it can be -- now it's just time to admit that you were wrong. It -- what he is English. I think as I herald journal that -- asked English English says war is no place for politics. You know the lame duck. Speaking out -- you know he -- it won't admit he's wrong course I guess he knows he's wrong because. British and his -- gonna be coming home. Are Darian Greenville sorry image oh wait that long -- Terry.

Asia -- all over again remember. Previous president. Went on carriers combat operations 07. You're right it's an accomplished. What you know. You Obama line now. But it looks like on a -- it's -- take what. He calls are or should -- our troops over it and they think it went up recognized name to call eight east and -- Just brigades. But still saying you when he isn't it. We have combat troops ordered to a -- yet.

Because we know beyond any shadow movement out that Obama is a -- It is a politician. How does anybody believe anything that excess. Gene is on self on hygiene.

Called what little that the bomb feature will use morning. More right after I think you are at or oh where are you referring to the fact that. They're still out there and I think you trot over into the fact that the banker artwork -- expect -- but he -- Qaeda al-Qaeda -- and now. -- And I struck at arbor anyway -- it's it's Friday but with -- in fact that this level and -- the evil looking. To me that they expect we will get them to get out of not make him angry any longer it will be our.

I think that that's a whole philosophy on Reagan. He thinks he thinks -- can talk about the networks. Comes just makes it you know Jesus over to double he's. He -- he thinks he can fool everybody all the time with words I can before you anymore -- works. Never made -- there. I don't know it's just it's sad. But really the analysis is is pretty easy here folks it's just time to turn the page on -- Obama Obama as a relevant anymore.

Comedic look the networks once he's as a play well I know -- yeah -- sleep bright and pseudo profound what you predict your us. Okay and that the gamecocks will win but I think it's going to be like I think it's going to be low score exhibit like U2 and three game. Let's close -- into the texture and exhibit who happened -- it -- a -- Now the real game of course is Saturday in Death Valley -- I really don't think -- yeah guy. How the world become. Where Clinton innocent powerhouse north Texas. -- powerhouse to north Texas and most of the Texas boy I mean really how often actually would presbyterian held it would adopt what the next week but I. North Texas they don't count out those euros now come -- is that what they're called host the Bhutto blow all our. I wanted to throw that Internet threats and the blue most of probably beat north taxes. I don't know agreements like Williams sisters who deplore. -- you blow. What do you mean like existence of the pour some of the sister ships or some -- block and tackle oh yeah. Yeah. So we'll struggle with north Texas -- their own way ahead of Clinton is via low scoring -- to -- in your early to implicit in the three.

Here's here's what I think is going to be the most important angle of these games goes I mean let's face it. These are warmup games are like pre season exhibition games I mean come off right. The most interesting thing to me about both of these games in this economy will be how many people are actually gonna show -- How many empty seats Thursday night will there be senses on national TV one. No I don't -- well I do I think I think William rice will be sold Italy's old I'm that it just like -- and police and and I guarantee you there will be gaping gaps. In the upper deck and Death Valley on Saturday the economy stuff these athletic departments are struggling. They don't get it about ticket prices that don't get it about seat licensing fees and a lot of people are gonna go you know what I'm sorry I I can't afford. I just can't afford it you know I'll read about it the next day it's a game that doesn't mean anything anyway. I just since there's not merely. Of the excitement that they're used to be. About college football these days. And I -- but from back in the day when there was a lot of excitement it just is not as important in a lot of people lot of folks in this economy. Are discussing this and I got to prioritize -- folks don't have jobs. And they are not gonna show. The Death Valley and they're not gonna show up at Bailey Bryce. They're just not gonna do but it if I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong public about a fats Calabasas chicken dinner bet that Williams rice's whole. Well it -- you and if you're down -- to count every city then Europe. I don't know for the media estimates way to go. Here and that you're looking on TV and you see these huge sections of the State's final departure will play two quarters take one snap in the third quarter. And then that he's done for the -- say let's get updated 742.

It's almost 740.

9/11 minutes.

Then we got it across. What this is that you Metallica version of the mild -- only. I guess I'm good I'm sorry animals who like to Bob -- version that are of true in the age. That's what president says we should do.

Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq. We have met our responsibility it's. Now. It's time to turn the page.

Folks listen. I know you're bored with talk about his speech by him -- sometimes you gotta think do things that you don't wanna do. A but the best analysis that I know of it's it's I'm -- ads in their turning the page it's time to turn the page on the Obama presidency. And she can't believe and you heard what Obama said right there. Let's roll the clock back when he was running for president. Barack Hussein Obama then -- senator from the great state of Illinois.

I am not persuaded. That. 20000. Additional troops in Iraq. Is gonna solve the sectarian violence there in fact I think he'll do over flipping it takes pressure. All the Iraqis to arrive at the sort of political accommodation that every observer believes is the ultimate solution. -- the problems we face so I am gonna actively oppose the president's proposal I don't doubt his sincerity when he says that he thinks this is the best approach. But I think he has long and I think the American people. Believe he's wrong.

So all at last night he you know lead to said the role of president I disagree and blah blah blah blah blah off. I mean if it is just Obama was wrong Obama is wrong. It's time to turn the page on Obama. Now not just Obama. I was wondering about and reading about this this morning and thought course we all know. The congressman from the fourth district that would be congressman Bob clueless.

Who lost by the way I don't know if you. Heard about that he. -- herald journal that dissent on items and most most OS English 'cause he was against the surge. Jason Spencer writes outgoing US representative Bob Inglis. The cried attempts by his own party to politicize the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on Tuesday less than a full day after returning from a two week trip that includes stops in both countries that that if she -- most -- them up. Quote the credit goes to be incredible soldiers airmen Marines and sailors of the US military they're the ones doing this incredible work what I'd say about actress and a majority minority leader. Mitch McConnell. And whoever is this is really not a time to play politics that represents really the worst in politics to politicize a wall. America's support in America's best of serving right now in some very dangerous places. English speaking by phone to The Herald journal. Not long before Obama was slated to address the country on ending combat operations in Iraq course -- 50000 troops still there. McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner had separate events Tuesday took jabs at Obama for not supporting. George Bush's troop surge and suggested that bush not Obama deserve credit for the situation in Iraq according to CBS. English who was defeated by seventh circuit solicitor trade dowdy. In the Republican primary has now visited -- five times. And Afghanistan for he emphasized his record of never asking a US troop their political affiliation appointee regularly made. During the campaign. But quoted seems to me we in congress should at least be able to approach these wars this way and to unite behind whoever is president. Reaching a successful result in Iraq and Afghanistan and so -- specifically and categorically. Reject these kinds of comments. And it's really offensive to me based on what I just saw in Iraq and Afghanistan. People like General Petraeus worked -- under President Bush and under Obama. And Petraeus made no reference to either president in any sort of partisan way is just doing his job. So I really regret McConnell or whoever using this as political matter it really should not be a subject politics it should be a place. Where America comes together. Of course -- Vote against the 07 troop surge. And he said according herald journal on numerous occasions that he did that in part because he opposed the idea of nation building he said yesterday that the surge remained relevant. And is perhaps more so today. As a similar situation is pulling out of Iraq but when it comes to Afghanistan quote we're getting right English that. Well. Bob you were wrong on the surge and as part of the reason why you got beads. It is just amazing to me how now all your true colors come out and you're you're just Obama lover I mean. This way outlook and I mean I could be wrong. Your comments welcome 753 now.

I just got to disagree with the email rushed. Obama last night like Alfred. You read the teleprompter with such a lack of passion that he might as well as stated Martha's Vineyard. Waste of time made our enemies more comfortable. The economies in the toilet the polls -- GOP route November so one -- naive and ignorant -- wanting to do. Get axle -- rattling speaks to make the moon bats in his party halfway happy. Pathetic superfluous. Nonsense. Way to go and next -- really things are moving on next hour folks in the meantime time for an update 759.

Therefore he's going to be today -- that he's he's visiting North Charleston. And he's got to sit down and talk. When you already. No Kevin. -- and Poland -- they Charleston tea parties that they were asked a few months back about posing questions to senator Graham. Several of.

breakfast they spoke back in April and -- b.s in North Charleston and expressed interest in coming to Tea Party people we've been working hard. To make this happen. Day get this call last week it had announced that Lindsay is going to be into sounding an already secured a venue so what they -- Charleston City Hall senator Graham. Well confront the Tea Party I believe he predicted the Tea Party would soon -- goal way I think he said it was on sustain if I remember correctly but term. I don't know maybe after the Glenn Beck -- The senators going full. A better start rethinking this got to -- anyway good morning folks. Russ castle at your service to -- 32 WORD. 574. WOR DG -- by texting line. 71307. And by email addresses Ross asked. Intercom. Dot com that's our USS at the NT ER COM. The dot com. I'm. -- just go back to our secure scratching -- him this morning. You know yesterday during this hour course week we were all over we're talking about that story. About the two men from --

Who got on board the plane. With a pepto dismal in the box cutters and the Neitzel mine. And you know you got to Chicago. Decided to change their flight planes fly directly to Amsterdam. Well this is really curious to me or four hours later. The headline. AP source unlikely to men were plotting terror. I'm sorry I just can't -- a US government official. Says the FBI's investigation of those two men detained in Amsterdam. Is finding that it's unlikely. That they were on a test run for a future terror attack even as Dutch authorities continue to hold them. On suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act.

What do we don't -- that we don't.

A US official says the two men arrested. Did know each other and were not traveling together. What -- that means they're not perish.

The official speaking on condition of anonymity out of how they know they didn't know a -- And --

The conditions speaking on that that the condition the official speaking on condition of anonymity. Says both men and miss their flights to -- from Chicago. And United Airlines -- them on the same flight to Amsterdam they were sitting mirror each other on the flight. But they -- each other. Another US official who also spoke on condition of anonymity why and why they have to remain anonymous says that when. Customs officials discovered one passenger. Was not on the flight from -- to Dubai. They call the plane back to the date removed his luggage it was then they discovered a suspicious items of the bags of BitTorrent to develop the plane. And so what you are now Dutch prosecutors say the two men from Yemen. Are suspects in a conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. But are people say well. Doesn't really going on here.

I am. For some strange reason I just can't let this story go. Does this sound a little odd to you.

And ask Matt about this in a moment the jump on board if you got a comment in the meantime it's a ten time for an update I mean this is this is just too weird. I mean -- to the contradicting sentences in the AP article. So they say that these a couple of guys from Yemen who were on the plane with a -- abysmal in the box cutters and the knives and and all that stuff in the tape that watches in the taped up cell phones. A US official says it is unlikely they were on a test run for future terror attack. And they said that it know which other and were traveling -- But in the next paragraph this official says. That both men miss their flights to Dulles from Chicago. And United Airlines and -- them on the same flight to Amsterdam and they were sitting near each other on the block. What what are traveling together.

And there's been another incidence folks. That isn't -- being downplayed in the media and I I don't know why doppler radar and it goes up. The headline is passengers spoke when men are taken off eight Tampa -- more about that a second -- doctor Manhattan --

Good morning Howard -- I'm suspicious. Made two and thank you protecting our call and look at it bothers me about well actually not sure which bothers me more how stupid our governor threatened the Associated Press thinks we are. Or in and -- you know the better not be in charge. Armed. Yeah I can't get everybody here knows what and blurry is I mean we got that's cannot go on all the Russians. Out of those trends spot how many of those ten police -- knew each other -- just because these two -- don't quote know each other has nothing to do with it. And the worked frequently is the only one who knows -- a couple of contacts are.

They don't know each other.

Well practiced well and it straight -- what I am saying is that there's more than likely handler that involved behind both of these gentlemen.

That's what we have with the 9/11 attackers we had the right we had a as a -- what is the beta -- who was the handler. He was in everything he was he was making sure they paid their rent on time and all I mean yeah. This is this is a look really suspicious to me.

I have the feeling that the reason that there are government sources anonymously because that was probably Obama that's that. But because it's just as stupid. Of all understand. You know you'd think that Americans are prepared to handle the reality is that we've been dealing with yeah not elevenths style saying now for almost a --

Now are you suggesting that -- come -- down and they know what -- not gonna tell us.

Car. I I think they've been trying for awhile I don't think this is anything -- do I mean yeah I think they're trying to force something. Com or not they've been tried for a number of years I mean let's face it. We're lucky to -- your underwear bomber that got. You know his -- in a -- regard New York with the truck in the bond in Times Square and in a law in regards to major bullet here on the administration is really very fortunate should thank -- lucky spark that they did dodged the bullet double what -- a lot more trouble on this issue it's.

thank you -- now are get a couple of text messages Ross I got stop for too much toothpaste last night and these guys go right through. Here's an Obama and they pummeled by text line Ross you asked what the -- know that -- FBI does and how about they're not afraid of Eric Holder is through twelfth. And then folks. Now this is another little I'm I'm I'm sorry this is not covered a lot of the mainstream media but that's why a lot of folks listened to talk radio because at -- this is from. WT SP dot com.

Davenport Tampa. Listen -- office. An incident aboard a United Airlines flight to Tampa again there you go get -- United Airlines again. Resulted in nine. Foreign born people being removed from the airplane. And left several passengers shaken in fact. Several thought that the incident was serious enough that they asked to be booked on another flight. At least fifteen passengers who arrived in Tampa on Monday on united flight. We're supposed to be here on Sunday night however the incidents involving nine men changed everything. John -- was on the flights of the nine men were seated throughout the airplane -- says he was told the men were of Pakistani descent. And one man made a comment that apparently was quote inappropriate. And made a flight attendants feel uncomfortable. Now imagine this -- on this point United Airlines spokesman Megan McCarthy says at that white. The gate agent had a conversation with the men. And they were asked to departure. But that's not how look at other passengers sought Luke says. The fact that the men knew each other cause concern and police came on with their hands on their guns. Then according to this passenger John -- The police started escorting. These nine for a man off the plane. Despite all the security measures the TSA and the airlines have taken since 9/11. Mr. -- says after seeing federal agents get on the airplane with guns. And take -- nine man off. He and several other passengers decided not to give it chances while you're out. Looks as they were just using common sense that it made him feel more comfortable taking another flight. Now than that TV station called United Airlines. And they said it eventually became. The that the airline became comfortable. That the men didn't pose a threat and that they were rebook on another united flight. While the better safe than sorry action is getting praise from passengers. It also was a reminder of the fact. That things are still a little edgy when getting on a plane. In the post 9/11 world. So there's another story. Which makes me a little sister as you remember back in several weeks ago I said I've got this funny feeling. That from now until the summer's over and we're coming up on that pretty quickly I could be wrong I just got I just got -- as folks it's still with me.

So these two guys that got on the flight to Amsterdam now that they know which are literally -- to. Not in the box cutters and the temporal biz mold on the tape of cell phones. This just doesn't add up to me.

But yet it's. Out of the deal story in the mainstream media day -- and get the story -- Tampa.

Which just brings on this point if you were on a plane today. And it had a bunch of foreign looking people all a year ago. Evolves. Into a bunch of more people get on the plane. And they say something that you can tell makes these stewardess. You know a little uncomfortable. And India say the federal agents get on the plane -- On the news. It actually be able to get all the worrying. But you know here's a trip there will be some people who say oh okay yeah let's take off Moscow. -- this is just. Fine line between paranoia paranoia and common sense I guess -- Mike is in Piedmont what do you make of all this Mike.

All of this -- are -- being held in the US by the Dutch.

Odd no I believe they're being held in Amsterdam.

Also they didn't get there and I know --

And they got they they told and a detain them. After they got off the plane but now the US officials are saying I know are no file.

And I just don't understand. They're they're being setup to cause a diversion. I ordered some. Bought off all anybody -- talk about take -- yourself on any day.

Because yesterday at this time Mike we're seeing and it's gotta be a driver and everybody that called us and this is going to be in front of this is a test our. -- diversion that's right let's see how they react maybe you'll diversion vocal draw little tension over here so that you can get away with something over there. And -- got historian Tampa.

No she didn't and I mean there's that would keep beyond that point. Thank you -- appreciated the problematic text like big pop you know the anniversary of nine elevenths only days away so it wouldn't surprise me a bit. If they're not planning an attack on eleven god help us what -- was in charge due to agree question two. Well he'd crank up the teleprompter and probably makes speech.

Or tried Toobin was Scott Scott Scott Scott got it nailed I know Scott triggered all this out Scots on his cell phone hi Scott.

The mortar -- Middle Eastern -- the troops we have the white male. And blockade but I was. I could not help but -- slipped off all. Out of the -- I don't blame it all -- so let the pain. And not get the answer don't want it water had a an incredible that a -- vote. Paranoia. That they are a lot I could not.

Called and called the psychiatrist. To admit that to help -- with this problem. I just a bit there just. Well.

Listen. And yet in this country just by you admitting that you had this real life personal experience. There will be those who say -- See America is a bunch of bigots. I mean a lot of this has gotta be by design because -- how to play -- got they know how to use our own freedoms against us.

That cute element here I think it. We can't let this site called all the way except we don't have -- an old system called the culture. If they thought we trapped in the late all of which drive these sort of closed at. Those are Cold War. -- all other ultimately. We understand. They don't they -- they don't operate -- little bit.

Doctor in my eyes yeah. This is something. Is. Amiss here something. I think it is not as it might appear earth. You know yesterday during this half hour we were we were all over the story about -- true. A man who actually hear from Yemen who reliving in this country in Detroit. Get on that plane. And you know hadn't originally for I think Washington DC. And it's on date they started out in Birmingham Alabama. That according to reports they they went through Atlanta. The report from -- yesterday was that folks in Atlanta had noticed that they had these strange items in their checked bags. You know that taped up cell phones that take -- watches. The area a knife to box cutter. And pepto bismol. You know which sounds like a comedy sketch but -- So they get to Atlanta they go to Chicago. They changed their flight plans. To fly directly from Chicago land of the thugs. It's yesterday.

And you know what we left you yesterday we're talking about whether or not this is a -- Ron and our government was saying you know they're gonna investigate this well. This morning. Now here's the explanation. From the AP. A US government official says the FBI's investigation of two men detained in Amsterdam. Is finding that it's unlikely they were on a test run for a future terror attack. Even his Dutch authorities continue to hold the -- on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist acting US official. Says the two men arrested in Amsterdam. Know each other and we're not traveling together. The official speaking on condition of -- anonymity. Says both men missed flights to Dulles international from Chicago and United Airlines. Then -- them on the same flight to Amsterdam the men were sitting near each other on the fourth what you just said. They weren't traveling together and you said the men were sitting -- each other on this flight to Amsterdam. Another official says that when customs officials discovered one passenger was not on the flight from Dulles to devise what -- that come from. They called a plane back to the -- removed his luggage. It was then they discovered a suspicious items in his back.

And then Dutch prosecutors say the two men from Yemen. -- Are suspects. In a conspiracy to commit a terrorist act -- our government says now. Now there's something really strange RL is in Piedmont what do you make of this.

Brian Mac -- is sort. -- business. Want. I -- you don't I just. Don't Blair and number 80. Here they are right now. And Doug might be -- they're playing it just can't do this year where to cripple our economy. People don't like I don't. There's -- sort many thanks good. Did you sort there's it'll play out. Night.

Yeah I do true because every time I bring up something like you just said the of the appeal say well I have to I have to. Well if you after you just don't make sure that life insurance is paid up. Stone picture tell you what you'll over. Now -- make sure they know where the -- 831 news radio WORD.

Multiple sources tell fox the men are being interviewed the contents of their checked luggage are being tested. Their phony credit card records are being served as well as their computers. Sources say it's an effort to build a more comprehensive picture of who they are and who they know. Just 24 hours into the case -- US official tells fox. There is no evidence so -- to suggest that they knew each other before the flight adding it's impossible to say right now whether they are innocent or guilty of a terrorist actions. It Washington Catherine Herridge Fox News radio.

Well -- thank you Catherine now. A US government official speaking on condition of anonymity says the FBI's investigation of these two Harlem. What I would -- likely terrorists. It is that well. No they -- know each other.

So. We're not expected to charge these guys even though the Dutch. Are still holding them.

And says that they'll continue to hold them while played look further into this. It just raises a little radar and me folks we're talking about this yesterday these two Kooks get on the plane. In Birmingham go to -- here's here's how -- MSNBC reports this this morning. Dateline The Hague the Netherlands US officials. Trying to determine whether odd contents inside a suitcase. Were part of a plot to test airline security. Are just a strange way of packing for an overseas flight. One puzzling question about the two men detained Monday in Amsterdam after a flight from Chicago. SL one of them that would be Ahmed Mohamed Nasser Al -- city of Detroit. Was separated from his suitcase on the way bear Al -- booked a flight from Birmingham. That was taken to Chicago than Washington's Dulles airport. And then on to Amsterdam. And from -- eventually to Yemen. And folks. Remember the US -- He has relatives but when he got to Chicago. He switched to a direct flight to Amsterdam bypass Dulles. But -- case didn't. A law enforcement official told NBC that -- shall be missed his flight to Dulles partly because of the date change in Chicago. And so he was re booked by united on the direct flight to Amsterdam. But united was unable to change the routing of his bag. Okay that happens. The second man detained in Amsterdam that would be has some Abdullah five BL -- eight. All who coincidentally he also missed just like two -- And he just coincidence he was -- directly to Amsterdam they ended up sitting next to each other. That's just incidents which are a force -- officials now believe was a coincidence folks do you believe in coincidences I don't. On international flights passengers and their luggage must be headed toward the same destination. Dutch prosecutors said Tuesday the men were being held on suspicion of a conspiracy. To a terrorist criminal act and that it would be a few days. Before they make a decision. On whether or not to move forward but no no no. So is it what can we make of this now I do think one of our text messengers. May be onto something.

Rush. Obama is not going to let anything that could be remotely called. A terrorist incident happened on his watch. And.

No matter what Obama's not going to allow any quote terrorist incident to be recorded on his watch that the Obama regime. Does not give -- directional want. About us. Now here's finishing text message to be pummeled by texting on Ross what you do -- you let these two go and then you follow them. In this what Ross thank god for cars. Because -- but they get model plane unless it's a private jet for a really long taught. Us some of the feedback here. -- had just occurred to me they could do small things like these nonviolent incidents. And keep us in turmoil getting on planes in small groups is enough to cause a problem and ground airplanes can you imagine. If they did this on one particular day all across the country it would totally disrupt. Air traffic. --

Well Estrada are on the order -- got it just sent at two X you know maybe it's too much past that they are smart -- there are our resources are smart enough to just. But he's got no problem it's just took time to get the CIA resources and --

To see where they laid.

It took about get -- yeah sources that there are maybe maybe that's little bit too much -- which.

Yeah because you would be assuming that we're that smart or that we really wanna catch these guys remember we can't even call them terrorists. You know we don't have a war on terror you know you knew that didn't Dennis. -- Okay thank you page 41 news radio WOR --

84550. That we -- 9 o'clock. That news radio WOR. -- All right Alex has been waiting in Spartanburg did try to make sense of this a US official speaking on condition of anonymity. Is saying now that these two. Men from while originally from Yemen. -- actually lived in Detroit somehow or an Alabama over there were going to Chicago. Because they're on their way to Dulles and they changed their flight plan they go to Amsterdam. And I got up to abysmal and knives and box cutters and picked up cellphones and watches that it's unlikely. They were doing a trial run Alex are you buying that.

Robert -- I'm driving in a car that night I have been drinking and I know like beer. I am open -- be unless you don't get -- so bad about it and Reagan. Also he brushes his flashlight -- Republican delegate I'd let it and they've been told that not all the guys have been great and sober opening good to great development competitive invective so I'm just gonna sporting a Portland a -- and.

It's no better yet but Alex you and a friend are riding along in a car. And you have opened container in the car. And it's in the backseat. And the cop pulls you over Eddie says what are you two guys do. Well we're just ride along officer what about that open container in the backseat. While we don't know I got there matter of fact I don't even know this god it's over in the passenger seat with me I just picked him up on the side of the road.

X the record they're -- to go there's nothing to senior certainly no evidence that the you've done anything all.

I didn't mean it makes us so naive and so stoop to that makes you sick man I like -- my country right game prominent. No regular phone porosity -- in part -- no matter at that. That does a little bit of that in the same direction that show -- twentieth the.

I bring it up man they try to sneak visual stories by well you you know -- just one day story that'll work these guys knew each other. There wasn't anything that would dare raise a red flag --

What they know what I do what are.

They just think we're stupid. Thank you Alex. Email Ross. I think they didn't keep these guys in the US because they didn't wanna call them terrorists. Also you know they would have -- randomized them another controversy for Obama that would be on wanted. Yeah I am and all of these things I think your ports.

I wanna say what they were to bring them back to the country. Why would they do with.

Here's another one Ross Muslims are testing our resolve right now. And these scum bags that are planning attacks are making fun of our reaction went on airplanes would Joe should be jailed endemic gitmo. Of course the Muslim Hussein would reject any action against his brother's. On another. And not Obama has lost. Well more weight I hope he's not sick because. We would have the drunk Biden or even worse the dumb as a rock -- in -- on the fifth -- and -- told him. We talked earlier folks about the Obama's speech. Most people didn't watch didn't care although I know it's going to be talked a lot about on talk radio -- all right I did my due diligence I. You know read the analysis of the speech and we played some cultural bottle but the first thing you -- last night that you -- across the dial right. And you saw Obama on TV and I just noticed. He's just me didn't look that it.

I mean I don't know who did the makeup. -- There's an article recently that Obama has started it grey hair I mean the presidency just take its toll on whoever's there he's not unique but. I don't last night. He just looked like. Like a robot.

Did anybody else and even if you're only watched it for thirty seconds. -- just a -- Our right to -- two WORG 574 WORD. Email Russ @entercom.com. V demo and at palmetto -- texting line. Is 71307. -- Now let's come back home for a second.

There's something in the news this morning get pointed out to me. Earlier this morning -- I wanna I wanna get your thoughts on. Go ahead -- horrible. Thing happened this woman confessed to killing those two young babies. You know we we talked a lot about dad. Not wrote about it on my blog. You know when should Kwon do -- you know suffocated her two year old eighteen month old admitted to doing that. -- their little bodies in the car seats and let -- Roland. And to a river and try to cover about noon says she was arguing we -- that you remember this story. Well because of that. There's a state representative chip line house. Who said yesterday that he's going to push for a new law in South Carolina. Which would allow parents. To safely. Abandoned their children up to the age of five. Without any kind of punishment. You know we've got Daniels small in this state. But -- but that law currently limits the no penalty aged just thirty days old. You know it's we talked about it when it was being proposed and then passed you know somebody has a baby. And they decide they don't want to baby instead of you know doing something terrible. They can take that baby you know to a local fire station or you know wherever police station. Leave the baby. And basically. Walk away. -- now represented a lion house wants to. Up the age limit up to five years old.

Good idea bad idea.

Now chip line house. Is the father of two. He called it a reaction to this Orangeburg tragedy. And they delayed response to the Susan Smith case back in 94. Which he says his weight on his mind -- cents. And here's what he said quote if parents get up against the wall so bad that somehow. Their mind twists. And they believe in their twisted way that murdering their children is their way out of the situation hopefully. This new law. Would provide a pressure valve. But this sort of evil behavior in quote he said he expanded the age to five because children are in kindergarten by then. And interacting with older adults who could hopefully spot the problem.

Now what bothers me about this. Is the obvious.

Is that people. -- magic it's playing when a child is thirty days old.

By the time their five. They already know. Who's supposed to -- their mom their dad their caregiver. Now I think about the child didn't I didn't I mean I'm sorry I get emotional but this can you imagine that -- Then a mom or dad. Is gonna take a five year -- And just drop them all. Leave.

And walk away Scott free not you can argue it's better to do that than to do what should Kwon do we did and that's obvious. But folks isn't there something. Inherently be -- inherently wrong. That you're able to just don't ball just basically dumped her to get out of a car.

This church temple --

I this just bothers me are 232 WORD. 574. W already -- good idea bad idea let's throw that on the -- to. Let's get updated now it's 853.

At 9 o'clock. Let me quickly -- call -- over from the last hour.

Dale in Andersonville Friday. I'm good fine thank you what is so what about this new proposal from state representative chip lineups like it or not.

Well I I a little bit though you know -- I'd be. Here so it may well any. Like the biggest problem is not -- up acute these at -- 82 tech ops seriously. The -- and Pollard these children like any -- these children around a third job in the other and help these. Little this.

I understand but you can't make them to your bed so what do you do when they don't. When they're not responsible what do you do that.

Well other a lot of big lap or who would love -- have a child. Children. -- This is. You know topic -- but it did a three year so there are people out there who love to have a child it would look -- out write it out. And give -- at all so.

It -- get it.

dale thank you I appreciate listening up there in Henderson. Folks here's here's the story. In case you're just joined us and you're welcome to chime in here to free to. W all -- in Greenville 574 WORD in Spartanburg. If you're calling from places like Henderson though remember the area code is 864. You can send me a text message on. 71307. And of course the email Ross and entercom.com. You're ever a couple of weeks ago. We had another one of these devastating. Stories here in South Carolina.

Sure Kwon do only. 29 year old.

Charged with suffocating her two year old and eighteen month old son's. Down and a motel and an orange Bergen and strapping them you know into the car seats and let the car rolled into a river and then trying to cover it up. You know she told police did she had been in an accident they were suspicious then is she confessed and said she'd been an argument with her mother. Who you know -- if she and her three children show also -- five year old daughter they've been living with the mother. And the mother have been giving her bike -- some grief. About her parenting. In their abilities are in abilities. And.

This this Shu -- And said that she's thought if she killed -- two year old in the eighteen month old. That she can before you -- you remember this case and it brought back all those horrible memories. Of Susan Smith we we talked about it. Here on this program. Well. Because of that at. A state representative chip line house. Yesterday said that he's gonna push for another lol. Here in South Carolina. That would allow parents to safely abandoned their children up to five years old without punishment now we have. Daniel's hall in their statement that currently limits. That no no penalty abandonment. Of a child. Up just only the thirty days. So the child is thirty days older less. According to the current wall you know you can't handle the child a wanted child whatever. You can drop the child all for the fire department there are you know police station. And hospital. You can do it anonymously we pass this back in 2000. You can drop the can often an outpatient medical facility or at church. As long as the child is left in an employee's hands. Okay. And since 2000 we've had about a dozen babies. Abandoned statewide in South Carolina under Daniel -- So what -- wants to do he wants to change the age to up to five years old. That you could. Decide to basically give up your child just walk away from your kid.

As long as they -- five years of age or younger.

Winehouse was pretty emotional he called this a reaction to the -- tragedy and and also go on back to Susan Smith which he says has weighed on his mind ever since. You know I am I posted a blog about this -- news radio WORD dot com mud. Back in 94 had nightmares about this but here's what -- one else. If parents. Get up against the wall. So badly that somehow their mind twists. And they believe in their trusted my and it murdering your children is their way out of the situation. Hopefully this new law. Would provide a pressure valve for the sort of evil behavior. And then sold in the question becomes why -- five he said -- expanded to five because children aren't kindergarten Biden. And interacting with -- other adults. Who would hopefully spot if the famous got a problem.

Well -- the first thing won't -- What are your six year. What does your seven.

I -- it. You know how many people are going through what a lot of people have gone through right now that's and I can't handle my teenager.

You know what if there's thirteen years old.

Course in how to get a thirteen year old out of the fire station.

I noticed I -- I remember. When my oldest daughter was pregnant with my granddaughter and we had talks about children and raising children and and you know it's it's the hardest. It's the hardest gig guy I've ever known in my life. The apparent. That I have great kids at three daughters great kits. Hardest job there it's I can't take a one job disorder. Then trying to raise a child.

But I I remember. You know 11. To my daughters married once not the -- we've all had a talk that. I remember saying these words you know well you better think long and hard before you have a child. Because you can't take them back.

Well. I guess that's not true anymore. And it just blockers and understand the rationale behind it hopefully with this. But it didn't say just eighteen month old. Was your Kwon do we didn't -- two year old leader.

I mean I know it's limited to thirty days but I Dutch -- Dooley knew that the Daniels all limited -- thirty days I doubt very seriously she even thought about that. Army squad -- should just taken her two year old eighteen month old you don't any of these places a police station a fire station a hospital.

Am. I right.

Daresay in this day and age I doubted she'd been prosecuted.

But this whole thing of age five. It just it just couldn't.

The intention and probably is go to. But folks this is not do this in one of those things you can answer easily. It's -- the message that you can just drop a five year old all at a fire station.

And just walk away.

What what does that say about us. How many people out there right now they got a job is going to the terrible twos -- the terrible threes. Economy's bad people unemployed. And we just once in the message no problem. Just does strap him in the car instead of vote rolled them down you know the good in the river. Just drop them -- the fire station I understand these they're good intentions but still the messages. The messages horrible. Listen to these text messages on the domino by -- like unbelievable -- can't believe someone. Would even consider a law like this don't want a child don't get pregnant.

This -- Susan Smith could have let the father have those kids I'm sure. There were fairly for the other kids as well reusable resource a rope and a tree. -- one of the northwest states who has the law have have folks drop off kids up to age seventeen. And there's different stage throughout the country. Yeah I didn't know this all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Have the safe haven laws to states. Allow for safe abandonment of babies up to a year most states. Kept the infants ages and between 72 hours and a month. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures. So this is really different into bumping up that age to age five. Are rightly wants to comment on a cell phone.

They have a -- spirit. That the question or comment that I ever -- it. Any it'll all -- out -- how. A bail out full responsibility. Saying that you're gonna increase the number of well ordered -- somebody else. Or you are gonna increase. -- appears that are going to be -- because they can't. I mean you're you're you're trying to save. A child and met. Commendable thing you're gonna end up with more children being abandoned. Any. Thought.

And I guess the rationale is -- better off. But you know alive than dead.

True there I agree with that. Those assurances. But church or any other places where you've got the you've got the mind that. Quo. Deposit scheme that a player. That network -- rationale. Did not have that same rationale that picture sure. To bowl local. Catholic Church. Presbyterian Church Methodist Church to social -- political struggle a bit Sunnyvale. You're gonna you're gonna say continue blender can look to try to get away with a single you don't get upset at the truck or --

It's just. To leave this is like. Like it looked so it was like a bankruptcy you know also well I'd I'd run up my bills against him out of walk away from public -- walk away from. And so are are we to equate that with with a a living breathing human being is is that can you imagine.

Only do you have -- children.

I happen to have you're gonna year old girl.

Boy girl. -- the five year old boy girl. I -- do you imagine your local five years old and things are hard. And used the putter in the car. And -- and the fire station of the police stations in all day on -- Yuba have a good life -- later.

Yup -- all -- go back -- looked at the penalty. Will bankrupt you click or political my -- It took everything that you have that you have to work hard labor -- do you put it all back. People would not public it to you yeah. And it the right thing what is what the children at the -- now. The defending what did you are you can't duplicate -- I can -- you -- you what.

Would you still -- which -- we talked about better get a one of these idiotic mopeds. Solid. Yeah I guess it's all about convenience.

But what the penalty for doing it that their ability to walk away call. And that there are -- go to the mall walk away.

Palin I just got this text message you'll appreciate this. -- can we extend -- a solution to spouses.

I. Thank you win appreciated. It didn't laughter in the battle all the one. To put them when your husband -- anymore just drop multiple fire -- They're huge anchor. John -- Pickens my job now.

I'd like cop out eat a lot -- and -- IRA DHL. Alley abortions. Alien day our debt it's debt -- that matter you don't want that on the LA it don't like. -- Sorry --

And and so.

And so this is better than that.

At least the kids a lot.

Right well. Shrink -- straight. YL. And -- Is it that you don't happen at that spot market rate and how they got it all -- it -- so yeah. I -- and get that they had beaten and actually. -- People count -- parents did. It. Got. It spot --

in China how chimes in your life. I know I have in my life so many times I can't even begin to explain. You you hit a rough stretch in your life everybody goes through rough stretches in your life. And you you you can almost remember the moments as they really are like changing moments. You can remember the moment when you said okay. This is going to be tough this is going to be impossible. I've dug myself and yeah I put myself and down of this whole. You know I've got to climb out of it you know it's going to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. But but then somehow just from the grace of god. You're you're able to recover from whatever is is almost impossible if you're a better person because of it and what we seem to be saying now is. Don't even put yourself that just the tip off. And -- That is just something inside of me. This is against everything. I was ever raised to believe.

I get I. -- again it. People. All we tried to eat it -- outlet she. Liked it matter what but. Get pop up block I bet they are -- Eat that she can't. Aren't they aren't just eight people are out to eat -- I'll -- actual.

Well it in your view your debt on the right -- now thank you very much I mean this email says exactly what you just said the senator Russ I'm sorry but dissing gonna change anything. I think of appearance snaps badly enough to kill their own child -- the stupid laws not gonna stop them this is so stupid how would this have helped DeVon -- He wouldn't of Bob fallen into that age category so one about him. You remember -- Napster case you know a mother claimed that somebody trying to carjacked the car and you know everybody and his brother knows that she's the one who did it in and she beauty got some kind of play what was actually -- orbit. It has a certain name as she goes and pleads not guilty or whatever. Anyway folks remember this but into it with this. He Miller makes the point about -- he -- he wouldn't have fallen into this age category which triple announced wants to limit the fighters old. So -- says so what about him anyone that can do such a thing to their own travel is just plain evil I agree with your text her. Given death and they might think of another way out rather than killing their kids this all makes me sick to my stomach that come from sharing in -- Sorry to 921 it news radio WORD.

Coming -- 927 quickly David in -- hot.

And -- rent apartments like in the morning trot that out with those. A possible escalation. Let's just hear me out here are your site up how about our buttons four but now we have a lot source. To get eight -- blossoms. We get stared down courthouse it'll last get married. What have. Mandatory to have played a couple classes on -- and then. I've been valuation of the person for their content Internet it's have a lot for a --

I'm trying to think how that test would go. --

You know common wish -- distort planes out here coming up this this stepped on the is not right I mean why is that -- all --

David I I understand your thought process. But then I think about.

Listen my parents had me when I was when they were very young. I mean you have so many young people out there I guarantee you stories are rolling -- people's mind listening to us on the radio right now. And they never ever thought that they can handle it especially if they had children when they were very young. And I never thought they could handle it and you know what a lot of them turned out to be pretty darn good parents.

Yes portrayals Dallas toward Korea thank part of my personal summer you -- But it just so there's there's no easy solution to this summer and will.

Don't there's not there really is not an easy solution. I'm just under this poured my heart out I was and I am pro life in every sense of the word and I understand what your -- house is trying to do. He's trying it thinks that by. Extending this age limit on Daniel's law. Of the five years old where somebody can drop the -- at all at a fire station hospital or police station he thinks that might that might. Prevent another -- Kwon -- slash Susan Smith case. Now. That that whole thinking process can be questioned and debated what it really make a difference. And you can argued that both ways it might but then again people want to do their kid's -- probably won't. And I understand his intention though. Please thank -- well that the old saying if we can save one kid. Then all the better. But something inside me it just bothers me and his -- here that fact that we live in a society now. When you know everybody goes to tough time -- children everybody doubts we've all been there done that.

And so when you hit. You know rough spot on the road.

I mean just picture the scene in your head folks. Sure you put little 45 year old in the car.

And you take him down to the police station the fire station or hospital. They usually don't. And you walk away with -- no penalty whatsoever. Just abandon.

Just some open sucked into some. In here we're all with that.

Power rates more phone calls coming up in the meantime time for a news update it is 930 and you're listening to news radio WORD.

Kerry on our wayward so and dollars 93525. That we got 10 o'clock. There's radio WORD if you are just joining us. State representative chip line house. In the -- said yesterday he's gonna push. For a new law in South Carolina that would allow parents. To safely abandoned their children. Up to five years old without punishment. Currently we have Daniels wall which limits the no penalty age up to thirty days old. Line house called it a reaction to the recent Orangeburg tragedy though the story of Shu -- duly. George was suffocating her two year old and eighteen month old son in an Orange -- or motel. Then strapping them into their car seats in -- to a river try to cover it up. She later confessed. That she thought this would give her freedom.

And then you have to Susan Smith case back in 94 so winehouse says hopefully this new law. Would provide a pressure valve. But there's sort of evil behavior said expanded it to age five. Nemesis reasoning makes cents. He expanded at age five because children or in kindergarten by then. And interacting with other results who can hopefully spot a family's problem. Now affects -- we've had Daniel's loss since 2000. Under the existing law. A baby can be left anonymously at a hospital police station fire station and outpatient. Medical facility or any church as long as the child is left in an employee's hands. His bill also would -- business hours at the department of social services state and local offices. Interest than the announced since Daniel's laws passed back in 2000. There have been only a dozen infants abandoned statewide according to DSS.

Soul. Forget your thoughts on this Jonathan is in well forget Jonathan thanks for waiting.

There quick look -- spot just got so it felt real at Buick -- There DA. Idyllic spring today at all what is good on one specific thing and that yet secured dealing with a rational people. A lot a lot all -- but equally people for killing your children that is true but they're not there are equal they're sick. Yeah I take -- but like. It's called a fairly destroyer. Where these people think that their family -- better -- day at -- then you're look at I can't -- era. They're not rational -- we are sick people. We -- expand the law quite helped.

let me play devil's advocate. Jonathan you may be right but there is the chance that it might saying if one child. You know it to it and it might save them from their mother smothering you know that one child and if it saves one child and isn't worth.

So much. It is tried to make easy I think. It it worked what of one chapter expand their well that's that's a hard question to answer. Com but.

Here's your prayers -- there's New -- child that spot for now here's the easy answer. Let me play the other advocate. If I was debating with myself what I would say is.

You know haven't we learned by now. That all the holes in the world American stop people from doing horrible things why -- we think. That passing a wall. Solves anything. How long Jonathan have murder -- been on the books. How long have raped moles that on the books. As have been gets a wall to rob a bank.

In your cap and making map point for me sickness it's guilt that these people are messed up that are still -- They're not doing it -- they're but they're rational but don't -- there is no solid point demand is -- their.

And the owners and that's left out of this that nobody wants to talk about it is. Maybe if we took issue Kwon do early or Susan -- for that matter and Andrea Yates. And we actually punished them severely punished them gave them the ultimate punishment. Then what kind of deterrent but that --

Richard -- that deter the 6%.

I don't care -- people I've said this before. Back when I used advocate the death penalty I don't -- more because it's just not applied fairly Susan Smith. And others and create improved attitude gender based thing investors not right but back when I was an advocate for the death penalty I've said this I don't care somebody's sick. I don't why why why does it matter if they're mentally ill. I mean why why does that matter really. Why because you know what smart defense attorneys do. They try to use that as some kind of rationale or excuse. I think you just because you're insane go murder what -- why is that some kind of excuse. To keep from getting the the proper punishment. I've never understood that way of thinking and I still don't today really. Thanks Jonathan. The phone called Andy is in -- would've thought I and.

I think it's exactly where I was going with this strong we live in this -- curious society today we went and we you know we. He -- to be America tomorrow we -- which means of course there is no consequence for actions magical weeks that are. And our port would be we tried this opera permissiveness and and that's it would take care of those who -- as -- previous calls it sick which also debate. Why don't we go the other direction why don't we can actually force the laws that are on the books and nickel looks like if you kill your children. -- No question yes that's the title there's no life without parole it's the death penalty -- are -- Perhaps that would work I can't say for sure but I'll tell you what it short the short because of direction or are right now. Not the right direction.

Well sad ending well said thanks for the call 941. News radio WORD. Members of Tom -- let's go quickly here so we get everybody on 946. Rape -- next on a cell phone I'm Rick.

A lot have to figure out special -- how this -- You start talking about this stuff and natural that for a -- gonna bring everybody result -- coupled -- I'm sure you're showing movies. -- All you're gonna -- sort embarrassment over Richmond there rollout sort rich man's placement with -- around -- And just found out sign. Look at dollar jumped in the plans also edit the only playing the problem lifted me start for Colin. That's almost all the left him. It did want to hold by the Tokyo including pop and trying to elude an all over the country talk about -- you know although it -- and in his son Paul and remote transparent. It -- you went you know because we love you and he -- you -- him. The moment he. Probably look you in -- love. The way our air Obama Charles and better all Whitney. -- being -- crackers -- years wouldn't let anybody -- living in Atlanta and because I think it works out and nobody else in the world can unconditional low double fault. And if somebody is willing to. Don't give your child left and they don't have that connection that. I know you have with your kids and I have with -- on my goodness what the group behind the governing body this will. Protect our. -- with and would you believe walk I'll probably nightly they don't deserve.

Up to six year old. Does -- house's proposal. -- only up the age to five years old without any kind of punishment up from the current thirty days old. I mean where do you draw the line there are now he tries to explain -- he says. He picked the age of five because children -- in kindergarten there interacting with other adults. Who hopefully would spot a potential problem I don't quite understand that reasoning.

Not only there but maybe people like me and you -- Christian old and insurgents in Turkey liquidity -- vote organization we'll bring your child there. If you can't handle it well in practice sure what --

Well yeah you know sadly I know a little bit about this I know years ago. We used to do fundraising stuff for penguin place which has been in existence forever in Greenville. And I know we used to do with thing at christmastime -- Christmas is for kids. And and people would donate all kinds of things in cash and and one of the most difficult things people would always. Wanna help out newborn babies -- small babies. The difficulties was when they got older. And I think that's still true even with adoptions people just are less reluctant. To adopt today. -- pick a number. A ten or eleven year old. Then they are you know six month --

And I guess maybe that's human nature I don't really understand the reason that --

How this is that there's no wheezing answered yes. Thank Erica appreciate the call. Email Ross I'm not sure just proposed law will help but I guess you could argue. That even if one child's life saved by the haven malls and their worst it too bad that same thought doesn't apply to abortions but I think. We're dealing with the public morality problem due to overcrowding lack of faith. It goes without saying that a society without spiritual face. Will become accepting of the immoral behavior as far as overcrowding. It appears nature limits population of species deuce.

Mr. natural disasters the idea of killing your own child as a sickness no doubt. And serves nature to limit the population the real question is are we wise enough to continue on restricted reproduction. Without without the immorality and limits of nature. I don't have much -- that and I sure things are gonna get much worse. Before they get any better. Interest -- Ross I understand. Why this legislation was introduced however. I do not agree to any child should be abandoned whether legal or not. If we must have such a law to protect children from bad parents that I would -- this requirement that both parents. Have to undergo surgery. To make them permanently -- world. Surely we must protect living children but equally important. Is to protect future. Children. I knew that was coming up the -- I was a Foster parent for years and parents. Give their children up all the time I had one child for three years -- was given up by her mom she also gave up two more. The state takes over their care and eventually can permanently take away their parental rights. So we don't need a new law we have DS as the parents are not charged are fine for anything just another entitlement. Have babies give them to the government to take care of what happened to we are not entitled to anything we should burn it. That comes from Peggy and inventory John is in traveler's rest I John.

There are on -- every now perception. I just little Paul what you said that people metal elements. Should be. Executed basically. -- the data that punishment was there in Europe aren't.

Yeah 'cause I don't -- I don't care why people do things I think murder is murder. I think rape is -- I don't care you know what what should rumbling around on their hand or they think is rumbling and I just never have understood that job.

Look at what let me just ask you to. It's one of your children have their first bipolar schizophrenic attack Tibet. Some unfortunate it happened one of your rank right knowing your child how well they were raised how well the person they are. They have attacked it. Much like an epileptic seizure or -- medical issue that result in the debt you wouldn't close that that probably.

Absolutely yeah. Yeah and and I'm gonna answer absolutely I would be clause because I have taught my children and you agree with me by the way we've actually had conversations. About this week at the same discussion about abortion for example I've gone through my -- what are your raped. What if you're raped -- on -- right now your mom and dad. Are telling you you're not gonna destroy that child I don't I don't care what happens I don't get why it happens. So that the same the applies there I believe in personal responsibility John. And personal responsibility does not end just because you have some kind of problem. I've never understood that.

So you're saying that because of a medical issue. Much like the seizure or anything that results -- if you have a seizure on the way home. And it and you crash until somebody that -- there that you should be punished for that.

I am absolutely. Because I I think it's pretty clear -- years ago I don't know how old church on you remember your member though comedian Flip Wilson.

Under the name on a very sore right.

used to have a running routine that the devil made me do it. The devil made me do it and -- became a joke -- on people were saying it all across the country. You know the devil makes people do a lot of things but the fact of the matter is. A crime is still a crime it's still a crime we've gotten when he passed the point. That we can continue and the pressure -- Dooley is trying to make up an excuse to just because her mother. Got a little tough weather about -- what compared she was there were trying to be. That somehow that justifies or rationalized as her smothering and then rolling you're too young kids. Boat ramp.

you know we we can carry these. Excuses. All I'm saying to a ridiculous state why -- we have to know why somebody did something what we do is no it won't but they did it. And they should be punished for having to me is pretty cut front. 953 news radio WORG.
