But the fact that our economy parting -- I'm not gonna lie to who's -- I hope he fails to Rome turner and -- Bartolo and finally murdered. Veteran's forum. So much to talk about Todd Landry how about -- so little time so little time how about this -- On -- China. The and you and I after the show do you think we should let the listeners the audience when in my not supposed to send listeners in on insult those animals don't so you any other social all the members of the audience Polamalu hopefully proxy cut those out -- Todd and I after the show we're gonna. I thought I thought it couldn't.

Todd and I after the show we're gonna going to put in a bid on the edge on him. Is that it's a signature was worrying -- and a couple years -- large one and a -- billions and now it's down to 700 million or something like by the time we get that it's going to be we need some backers set up so will just -- you know -- up front that thing will -- will -- that will fill it up in a couple weeks you know we should -- Barack it's a vertical. Automobile manufacturing plant and go to get a bailout and that'll be well if you tell on the government -- vertical investment that might be enough that -- anyway here's the lingo he just might I'm not opt. Listen while we think about Barack Obama and we see what he's doing it's not in isolation there is a there's an historical pretext for this and that is. A Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was the first Communist president of the United States again. And if you doubt me go ahead still ahead do that I that I and another huge day that there's Communists already the united state yes. Oprah I could derive their credit and -- Bill Clinton was the first black president of brock's only the second you know. And and in the I don't I really think it's -- but a little bit stretched -- and that -- without Communist president -- podcast listened to our -- in his own words -- died in his -- major speeches part of this is from a State of the Union Address and and another is supporting speech back in and they're -- ties to a present predicaments -- certainly does because I don't think there's a lot of conservatives. Talk out there you know -- the realm of talk radio -- do here. Where we represented the majority opinion of the country that doesn't ever present a politically liberalism seems to dominate our culture. But most people are conservative heart most people think FDR -- is a hero and and I think that's mostly because of a liberal media that sold them as a hero. There is no heroics when you listened to what his philosophy was -- and believe in the US constitution as Barack Obama does not either let's listen.

Right of every family would be home right to adequate medical staff. They often feel that if it would achievement and Freud let --

These are things he thought the government should guarantee he was proposing a second to bill of rights. I suspect you've heard that phrase all of the above maybe not an end he was. Extrapolating that a moment had come. This back in the late 1930s. In which everybody understood that -- the right to go ought to make your own way in the world wasn't enough anymore the government must now guarantee results.

We have some -- Sarah. Realization of the fact however. That true that if cannot. Exist. Without it below it security. And independent. Let's just that those men look -- Overall. If -- Let's. Was it hate it if that made it.

Now this is an absolutely bizarre and ridiculous argument that if there is struggle financial struggle in people's lives they are not free there is no liberty. And therefore there and results must be guaranteed by the government this is what FDR believed this was a state of the union. I dress as a political speech. Giving in that context of a time when unemployment was around twenty. 5%. And he was allocate every index was off the -- and he was advocating. Guarantees. For people what you absolutely oppose I don't know wire -- defending -- on and his wife because he did not propose out of this speech. He did not propose specific guarantees. A decent home. Or guarantees from -- guarantees. Of work while he was starring about the creation was starting from zero he'd be instituted a look at the cell law that the premise and the beginnings of the socialism that's now destroying us and.

And he he he -- the realm of context in which he makes these remarks to. Keep in mind that the people give capitalism a bad name I capitalists we have seen what capitalists have done AIG being the most recent example. These swashbuckling renegades -- but the financial products unit in London. Brought to its knees literally to its knees. A very successful very profitable firm AIG but we have to -- we have to view these things in context it's capitalism that creates. And all the wealth that that can be destroy -- IBE need capitalism to give you the heights and and capitalism in this country has driven the world's affluence it never -- I agree and Roosevelt actually underneath this rhetoric which UN knife spying did you know does not all well appalling -- whatever it is. He did not -- undermine capitalism. Not -- up he was much more ambitious in terms of social programs are costing the edges of capitalism.

Posed a second to bill of rights that would spell out. End results -- people everybody deserved a home everybody deserves a meal every day everybody deserves healthcare. He was the grand socialist schemer in this country go and it's because of FDR. That as you can even imagine a Barack Obama being president same people not understanding that none of this has anything to do with the concept of America or the US -- most people go office.

I think -- it's and they look for comfort and hope particularly in them in in a period of misery in challenge and that's what the depression was and that's what to a certain extent we have here a lot of people are frightened to death of tomorrow and the next day the had jobs -- yeah. --

Well I filibuster. Do we go up.

use ameliorated. In the industry. My ability. Right to -- left to provide adequate food unfolding -- create the right. Those who raised them so left -- At a repaired with good good -- that they've beaten the living.

That cut is the most appalling -- make sure you know which one that is -- welcome back to guarantee job. Guaranteed rate of income guarantee buying power with that income and the right to a vacation and -- all things that the socialist Communist FDR -- should be guaranteed in a second. Bill of bright -- if you wonder how we got to this crazy place. FDR is the reason and you know in you know it's data from that speech club med. Sounds like 6172666860. Virginia you're on W are you good morning.

Expect me and I can't do like that promote the debate I just. And I -- definitely a -- ever thought that they need -- and that's units.

Advocates that and --

I hate the fact that assisted candidates so that we don't and you had to have depravity and you're ripping -- you put them.

Virginia did you listen to the tape of FDR that we just played you do you listen. What he did was he laid down the intellectual foundation for turning America into a socialized -- but you have to -- you have to listen to Virginia to titlist and she not only heard what we just played -- when it was -- I don't see this illicit liaison. -- she has no I'm dead America does not listen of that it's remained met this is the reality of FDR as a Communist FD did not. You could you go down this road he made reference to the committees are referencing pro the second -- weeks ago we did -- go in the midst of all this misery went to Barack Obama half copy you know what we have many years laid seven years later we were me we were out.

Before this economic meltdown we're being told by a wise economic men in this country who had previously held big offices that we're running towards bankruptcy in this country based on the weight of welfare. Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid that those those programs are spinning out of control threatening to know our shots RM no you're only the beginning and why FDR know Barack Obama have a night.

Everybody has dodged the -- capital -- and the F free market guy Ronald Reagan. The most recent President Bush the previous President Bush Bill Clinton everybody's ducked and dodged on this stuff I -- this microphone every day and tell people the point tell us they don't fall over the the the point is that the letter F.

We are starting -- just grown up FDR started us down the road with the new deal the new deal was about instituting socialism in America for the first time. And we're stuck with that ended that it's growing and there's a big part of the population it's been running around dying for the opportunity. Two totally undo America this has nothing to do with US constitution.

And in so what would you propose I mean and I love the idea of a libertarian philosophy. But if you -- get dad passed a proposed you have to work with what you can do. What you can do to make the situation better not what you dream about. What he's talking about I'm talking about Social Security particulate. What would you do ER IC is a major and a massive entitlement spinning out of control and I see every age group tied to contributions -- should be what it was sunny and it should be what it was originally said it was going to be okay and that is a savings program okay that's all -- right. So almost any other questions of course provide about a house that communism. He listened to what he -- It's shocking to hear based on the sales pitch that America has gone on FDR. He was a Communist. Richard busting your NW RKO atomic -- good morning.

big -- completely -- capitalism socialism. Democracy that you make typical one day. I just want to say it is -- quickly is about time. Yes less of him as coach because quite strictly for profit helped it just has not worked in they should take 405060. Use of these people.

So you don't believe in the constitution either. Customs Apatow which. Away Karachi race as. Well so let's so the constitution has nothing to do would want kind of programs that government is gonna divide to edit the the constitution has nothing to do with war rule the government is going to play in healthcare. She has. To with the capitalistic. As. You read a real constitutional rights are already ready.

Jumping the rich the constitution does pull it every specific limits. On this and the size and scope. Of government. How -- you might think gee it's a good policy but -- legitimate constitutional arguments as to what. The -- president Obama's talk about in regard to a whole host of things including most recently in the automobile.

You act like it's we have socialized helped elect Columbia government socialized health is going to be like. Other countries have been is definitely deserve it it'll say which could make an excellent book called bureaucrat local bureaucrats but the quality assurance. They'll the only -- differs from the socialized healthcare and what it's all profit is the one that war profit don't work that's -- there's not of -- Plavix is still.

We now have a but there's not a country on the planet does not a country on the planet that has the equality. Of the -- or health care either rich.

I don't care rights like. Sixty yeah and another I actually haven't had actually -- point you make a good point you need it and let me just add a little bit of factual background to a.

We rank even worse than sixteen to Nino -- ranking comes from. The United Nations committee on health scare that put -- want ahead of the United States American that's the soc that is absolutely insane. Well because so few people die of disease in Iran -- you they decide they die of this season time -- I am a little Hillary the best healthcare in the there was I don't know I just want to it was -- governor is call unfortunately does an argument I mean there's nothing he said that was it was titled I didn't logical. Maureen you're on WRK atomic -- here good morning.

Good -- wish. -- regaining a little bit -- and some other younger -- out the morning.

Be patient and -- if you -- You know -- talk it -- A truck in your great and we went in search into the great country -- it all I think.

Make it was she.

Save them.

I thank you mare to about that scholars Murray in Virginia and they sound like serious adult women who have seen this stuff can be cycles come and go -- like to learn from them Jack can boss.

Near New York yeah. Yeah and I got to tackle the same sentiment that -- nonstop the minute it was an folks -- great caught a lot to offer more.

A six how do you like that and complete control over -- faculty she -- stuff. I think Todd and -- with -- dump because that would -- she was gonna throw Todd over the all right out the.

And -- this -- want to once upon a time to insert them one purpose in this country. And it went straight and it -- it strangle the very. All of this -- like now what watching on the union yes. You don't know -- axles security what was originally intended to do because of the ropes. Block stirred up to now that's and say it was a.

Well first first ally defended the Social Security for what it was -- originally intended to -- as a savings patrol with any of these programs Jack is you have to realize that when ever. You open a new social program. It's only going to do one thing what is that thing Jack. It's going to grow going to -- horizontally. To -- a bigger umbrella. And it's going to grow vertically to provide more to those who were covered. Any program. You start that's the government taking -- people is a vicious. Destructive lie that will end up destroying the country you can't. -- where an -- Social Security is a perfect example what was it sold as it was sold as they savings plan as soon as the savings plan is in place they start finding new people to cover they add to the breadth of then they figure out how to increase the cartridges. So there's no relationship anymore between what you put in and what you take and what they want to do now of course they want to get irritable limits so it's not a savings plan at all just a new social program. That's how the government works and that's how people work and we're in this awful position and our country now. Where people just want to be taken care they want bribes from their elected --

Shall I don't think that's true I don't think that last part is true and in the government will always adapt and evolve. As society adapt and -- needs -- will it -- evolve beyond what the constitution. Permits in the constitution permits none of this India Europe -- the constitution allows the congress to set -- the situation in which is a retirement -- you think a Social Security system is you have I shall -- you might say -- you it ill advised -- you have to show -- where it's enumerated in the constitution that the federal government has to -- power enumerated. All other powers belong in the hands of the -- arsonists -- you appraising the -- and Apollo space discovery program but there's nothing in the constitution about that. There's nothing in the guardian -- the only place you can argue is if -- were you -- defense purposes I think 6172666868.

FDR proposed a second to bill of rights of point of this bill of rights was to socialize the country. Turning it into a sort of Soviet Union in which a job with a living wage would be guaranteed to all Americans. There -- freedom from unfair competition. Homeownership would be guaranteed medical care guaranteed recreation in the right to recreation would be -- you know what that was that now just with corruption and Garcia's -- just words just words -- propose -- there's no such thing -- just are not proposing just -- line is challenging the notion that -- those proposals are -- he proposed -- he failed miserably then as the president not at all because not a that he was an -- are really -- he's got it on. He got lost 6176. He was. He was like -- brought Barack Obama's doing now this is the most destructive thing that's ever happened all America.
