You spent a lot of time swept them good national enquirer didn't show.

Yet but a mandate they were the ones that pursued it out and an -- but before we get into this. We have a real special place for our football and Boston children's lives -- kids operator opener but but doctor Barry -- and we we welcome all so. Real special place for --

Well thank you that you when your wife as opposed to you one really who you real with you who you really didn't have to explain what what you told the press soleil.

Acted really funny well and give it edited version of with what I went they would prosecutors. They they they ask you also sort of question that that you're not expecting in the my lawyer -- music -- not sure about of the you know tell as far as you know. And and they -- With your wife has three children compared to cheer you on their faces is that her first marriage so as far as -- You -- three children -- yeah. Sparse all of patent and in the atmosphere. The father. Real hunters shall. And it's just a bit out the less firm wide.

What will you -- well I heard that you had a vasectomy before and -- and all the other staffers on the campaign knew this and they knew was passable for you to be the father of the child.

Well that's almost as resistant as funny as anything you -- hurt the Saddam. -- can't get me to do a good solution and cultures technology and he'll go down there --

Oh okay so I wasn't at night okay I read that somewhere I guess it wasn't true.

Now -- that's -- would positively not true less. That there are several thousand mile wide came close to get -- the site.

Okay. Don't listen the first question I have to ask you this is the that's the prurient questions here. Where where is where is the sex tape right now.

What a grand jury -- investigated the true that the prosecutors running. Investigation. Potatoes. Copy of ecstatic and so they have one -- they have a copy of that I have the original walked a couple of books.

the deputies came by the other day in said that they have a court order that you went to turn it over to really.

Well that's what the -- at seven it's it's really of the big tackle Matt and announced an awfully well at a point like I can't. Talk about an ongoing investigation. But they served papers last Thursday yeah and oh we left. For your purpose spoke to were shut off for it it's kind of curious to say at least that. They -- possible Thursday and try to get a court here except for Monday. That this that we that and I have been I think it two years. And that they decide to do court hearing that the state of Bob but -- focus have the bookstores. --

I didn't understand when I first heard about this that you you came across this box of tapes and you saw the one tape had been pulled out and you just how did you happen to us. Try to. Put the the actual videotape back in the cassette I mean it well.

Well when if it is not quite as the war went well we we we're real first came down -- live with a sweep we have -- we thought it was a temporary thing must have other east we read a thoughtful of the for the funeral real came down. And she's -- this for about a week or so. And that we Ritter how about a half -- away and which even doubt -- this box at. Our house about -- we read enough now we record for her. And surely that -- 1000 September. -- we and that we we of course were -- December. And that tape that there from September in this this all that. From September until we came back. The next summer to do our stuff out you know -- you know government on that is if closely here. And while we were packets. We we can't across the market of people wrote the book I guess if you falters there's. What kind of started the whole thing for -- style of Huffington Post and that are wrong. Were these missing -- Real -- had had taped for the for the without default packed yeah. And we looked in the box and churn out there reboot the missing weapons that was for a folksy -- that's. It would pop there's an old washed through them and they were kind of bizarre but they. Yeah. Just the floor yeah and then. There was one tape that had the -- pulled out of what it was. Maybe it would discount like -- back but they want has cassettes and you have in your car back and got out of mustang -- account. -- to take that profit back it'll work. That was that was the fact that.

You know do you think the John Edwards was doing the salt there was no legal career. Or was this a first time for him why I didn't.

About epic epic it would be I think it would be completely. Silly for anybody think I know from what he told me after -- became this complete capital that there were Amber's polar -- But I think anybody would be silly pathetic or view that doesn't want them to.

Right but didn't I read somewhere that every -- does say that it was in your body was in the excerpt from from your box saying that bits that. A lot of the people in the campaign sort of regarded him as sort of a sexual most.

Well. I think they've yet to realize I was you know most -- paper campaign workers came -- very very quickly. If they are David Axelrod. For being confident they fire him but it's people you know it it's not a very talented man it's just. Do you plan that you raise 750 million dollars for a -- that let her go. -- you know they had a history are out all of you know how I work for -- longer than anybody else of the all the all the work for -- they're very Saturdays. And I are raised its sense that well over ten million dollars -- And so to step -- talked about or not people that -- them intimately yeah. And there were some people when real came now that we're Cadillac okay who's this strange and -- for. And from the beginning it felt the need to try to did -- that there -- curiosities. She opt out when outlook for all the I circuit pick up all things that. That may be real muscles going on -- hands. You know.

You could tell everybody can tell him that that kind of situation she used to this woman real -- she used to be.

Yeah and you about where that her father I killed her race course for church -- jail for killing race worsens for. --

Yeah I still believe that he would allow himself to I mean to -- two to. To impregnate her mean that you would think the guy would have more sense I don't -- look at what by the way I should say I -- to UNC just like you did and now I'm it just just like Edwards and Elizabeth did they went to law school you and I -- But you know UNC as you know was teeming with guys like John edwards' friend and you know if you -- once should solemn. For a while you've got to know. That they were -- right I mean how could you couldn't see through this guy.

Well -- you know -- But your mom or your average guy you see is it is -- count except Michael Jordan was okay basketball. He was you know use the youngest member ever broaden the and are sure collapse because it of the trial lawyers he was you know it it won't like. -- Fell one to being a three. Two count -- presidential candidate three -- had a lot of skill. And inability when he was -- what what he was off he was awful thing he came across those plastic Carson when he was on so I asked. And I was in -- NNM also wanna say you know if you if you wrote the book. The first half of the book talks about what an incredible. Person he what each -- that you really incredible dedicated cult.

This is waive his son we're that was killed in an automobile accident I think the age of sixteen member and then Elizabeth used to go to to the grave site and does she want to read two to wade in the register and then they decide that a couple of more kids stay. Pretty much will place weight.

Right right and and the country's it centuries as well it out there's several. And he and I would jog to get their play basketball together you know that the boat you go -- together passed away that we will have a lot of funny a big gap back. But somewhere around you know what he was picked for BP and then after that. You know that his arrogant and his age it just came to --

We'll tell people tell people how we changed you know when the in the beginning when he would address a crowd he he had kind of a -- The self deprecating sense about himself right.

Well in the gonna -- beta gunbattle was that it because that that so. Amazing is that in. That changed the metamorphosis. Is that in the early years of making these liquid Davies we have this thing called the clerk at a point where we -- support on rights. And he would think of every single little thing you know he would he would put his coat on and roll please stand opposed. Just city could all candor and photos that people. Kind of circle around the circle -- And he would say Ali you know month I think -- could also roll please -- taken time off and and you know and that -- get a microphone but he taken away just that he could have -- you know he thought of every little bit long but even even got rid of used to travel -- of the ability. These were fifty dollars to get rid of business church -- of the via buicks of people would think that he was. You know one of them yeah can't so it is it was just unbelievable to have the act go from. Thinking that every. Tiny they want things and then back when he did trials he would never let anybody that would have up to table. Because he you know he want sympathy just -- fighting for the point at.

He was this bar. Yeah -- end but -- there are starting out like eight attorney right he thought of everything so what tell us most of them what what did he become. Keeping at it keep.

Came disk out of war 3004000. Dollars in. He he would only -- around -- to power. Future yet. But Haitians have judgment of our country C it would only stand. Presidential suite you like or like -- I think he. And belts. His presidential campaign significant this poor little ways his house and destroyed twice for the Katrina disaster. -- the vice city's state -- state was in the presidential. -- and it's just you -- as a flew out on -- system you know thirty million dollar jet you know this is just not.

Then that the 400 dollar haircut which you I think you said that originally that was just to screw up. By the this -- the new campaign staff that normally you would pay for that out of his own pocket -- what I would never know how much he was I.

Actually -- or for more than 400 bucks a was like have you talked to my callers C are you just on the bleep -- now. We we actually don't -- last but I talked to him or the last words he said it was you can hurt. You mean you can't hurt me question mark group or exclamation points he said it twice the national. -- So so you're than you testify there's a federal grand jury looking into whether or not he misused campaign funds right tact in Raleigh. And you have a you are you cooperating witness. Very much okay if you think he's going to be indicted.

I mean they don't they don't tell you they'll say they're just ask a lot of questions but but I will say that they such prolonged. They've been unbelievably. -- And it would. Be difficult to believe that they've invested this much time and energy. It's just something.

18774694322. Witnesses Andrew Young he's the former aide to what John Edwards and he was there from the beginning he actually took the rap for awhile for I impregnated no real. Hunter and he's written a book called a politician you could order off of our website it's put itself published by saint Martin's it's an insider's account of John Edwards pursuit of the presidency in the scandal that brought about. I I can never tell from the the video won the still pictures in the newspapers was wheat was real attractive over how would you -- what would you -- run a -- want to --

That's unfair question asked me. I love -- 211 tar heel to another target.

old. Was not attracted me at all. Of course some very to -- she's sitting right here.

That's -- that's and that's right only the tab I -- I just I would want out of what fourteen or fifteen if I were you see it quote here if you Sarah TV you know you waste market but there you go okay.

But real. Real. I don't think attractive at all. At that depicted the attraction for ever yeah that's my next question of the attractions for it was the and there are other -- obviously. And the -- Had different taste. But the the the attraction between Edwards and Reno was that she was polar opposite of what. Aware of the completely and intellectual. You know she she stayed a little room with two -- three computers by. Which is of course you with -- they're relativity. Book called say. Rio was somebody to party would have sex -- And and watch movies. And so each of them status different portion of the bunkers -- And I truly believe -- it to be fair to Tibet. Truthfully people of benefit.

He he met her in New York in a bar right hotel bar region yes I. You know -- you're you're presidential candidate. Did you you run for vice president so theoretically anyone -- got any kind of political interest in the country knows she wore. I mean this is that you you don't call you don't borrow pick up women in bars in Manhattan billion amid what is what's wrong with this guy.

One of amusement separate. He's pick up girls Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's be.

Well he's he's he's not really a million -- enough to upswing in his life is --

Well just about what well while. The -- If you Gabrielle. Got the regency. -- is go up.

Didn't she was -- way I mean I read I have read what I read the excerpts wasn't your wasn't somebody else who just said I I've got got to get this guy away from harm because he seemed like -- fascinated with --

Well I've been -- That the client on an in the excerpts -- as as -- The book. Can change -- changes. Substantiated there's -- there's -- of course there. And a lot of parts that are especially in part about have worked -- myself so support appears flatly not true like the bombing haven't had a vasectomy.

Oh that's where I read that I'm sorry I -- I can remember -- read that.

Yeah how are just a chip smaller player -- Yeah. But the they visit the -- about.

With with with that were and meeting in the forward it. That part is true but. -- each of the people that are obviously. Sources from that interview. They all claim that they left out of because -- it has to this affair scared about what it -- for the country. This is their best best case argument for being old bank and on the part of politics they'll say they left. But Josh proper order you know the next page you get fired because of telling. What via the upper level all. Pick Baltic about the person was working -- blast -- hospital. Relatively recent. The the -- against bird can repeat -- although. They say that they left out of objections over the -- But then they talk about later on the chapter that they are sitting there having better with the Edwards. Two days before all of caucuses about -- they've left and -- what do they. What it on network.

How could you ever let yourself get talked into taking responsibility for fathering the saw a kid I mean have a jokes why not tear your wife who was a fourteen and sitting right beside you.

Well its its bombing it. As you can imagine. It it's a very very difficult question and large particle was. And we had -- the overture for for almost ten years and Dave we consider them. What harper at. Sure several -- ever elect senator that we the other kids were like our kids. And so there that love them and and one of the big things this triple as part of it is it is. Because that's a that the article was little was about to die any -- and about and this is going to be a short term thing. And we're that's the first. -- the second thing is that.

That's quite an argument she's gonna die any day now and I'll just step forward and say be of the give the guy my -- was lying in -- she amber legal father and by the way we're getting married come on down everybody to vote for the buffalo wings and -- killed each.

and and what he's what he's that was you know I'm gonna complain about you know I just can't little as the battle like this that was that was what he sit back and look we're. And then the second part of it was -- you have to mentally go back to -- Democrats belt and 2006. They did not think. There's a genuine fear that by electing. Change what was what it ever been done before collecting Hillary or Barack. That we were taken the chance of -- When imagine the primary that was in the general. And a lot of people especially between December. The end of December and January 1 -- the network will remain viable candidate. And so -- argument you know that he had invested years here's here's what. And it was plausible argument that that they asked Peter do about that for the pets are reading this -- about him in the dark course and how we can -- And so and it and it -- you know good versus evil you know you know. Karl Rove and Dick Cheney you're gonna --

And if he's good yeah he's a good guys and their bad but he's good.

Well but that's the thing these efforts is one of the most persuasive people -- government the people wondered that now for our worst. In the hot plate and help them have ever found their baby.

Signed their babies.

Find their faith and it is people or just -- like a rock star. And and so you know and I at all and not to make the least of it. The the gay episcopal this web support of our fans you and I have to portable camp experts in here. So.

You have a law degree what are you gonna we gonna do now. Ari can be our job openings there. I'm not a good radio. You are good on the radio not a matter of fact I used -- Winston-Salem -- samba I'm very familiar with where you -- the law school yeah Obama was. Yeah.

Well let let's let's let's take a caller to -- Andrew Young he's the -- he's the author of the politician an insider's account of John Edwards pursuit of the presidency in the scandal brought him down Joe your next with Howie Carr and Andrew Young go ahead --

Tight gap that I what it. Mr. young I wanna do this is very second -- try to be respectful. And not afraid of yards. And out -- idea -- watch what he'd be a make up to the proper -- you know you got -- covered this guy that really move in. You lost me there I've got friends that I love that I would do what I think wolf what I would do that. And outside yeah. I'm fifty watt unit although remember Gary Gary Condit and Clinton what he did. This guy that would get the Academy -- you've got the spot but they eat -- scum -- And I think if you had any principles he what do walked away from him. You would've just said no you couldn't do that and that would have been the end of it -- you know you've tried the probably know. In as far as I'm concerned it was because of year old self interest that you think about okay let's let him let him respond --

I act tale told by the call you you probably won't read the book and I understand that but but in the book. I go out of go out away. To point out the blatantly and blatantly wrong things about it and I have to apologize for that doesn't -- all right. You're completely right back where they -- I was badly wrong now and ask them I completely agree with switchers time. That being it's it's not as simple. You know what you're saying I kept got a buddy on the corner who's got a problem bubbles -- form. This was a -- relationship where that's where apparently all that doesn't make it right doesn't doesn't it's not a excuse. But. That's what happened and and not waited two years for John Edwards come out and tell the truth. And.

And he did just about the time your book was published.

Yeah exactly. And so I don't. A bit of offside and secondly I had changed 05 change it to is something like this doesn't change somebody I don't know what will. I have a better person now I think -- try to be. That I was but I completely agree with what you're saying. That I was one of the lowest SOB on the planet.

Did I still do you think did you feel any guilt testifying against him in the grand jury.

No loyalty runs two ways of what the job that was only runs --

18774694322. Michael you're next with how we Carney Andrew Young the the author of the new book the politician you can order from our website -- dot com go ahead Michael.

Most of it to see you what are we use you know. I expect that understand are heard I heard the last word I thought I however don't -- don't. Care who there loyalties of --

Greg your next with Howie Carr had -- injury young author of the politician about John Edwards go ahead Greg.

They can't do you have to realize it's been a very tough month for Democrats hearings. Yeah -- an -- do I was fascinated with the exception national while reporting on it. Bob how close really were there I remember reading about her living what do you remember most on the streets. And they talked also if you could expand on it about a guy job which financing while best. And I looked -- or how we can I give one of those Scott Brown happens to.

And I'll give -- Scott Brown have but all you go ahead it's the question there job -- had shot me skews the engine group.

Be it The National Enquirer did incredible job of covering this and that the days. You know because what happened was the mainstream media will not report something about a second source. And so what. The trial lawyers who were unbelievably powerful. And that -- supporters was they've made the second sources mean real cheery. Disappear. And they put it -- surely be your lights but cheered big or change the right. They've made just disappear so there could be effective source -- media as much as they trot. They could support the national car and and and and everybody asks me. Okay package possibly think this would work the -- you think the battered is it didn't work open so when he got to -- got caught up Beverly -- You know as a viable candidate for vice president works project he was leading -- the -- the leading in the polls.

This is what he wanted to visit the baby and he was trapped in the a men's room downstairs think they trapped them in -- national enquirer reporters trapped him in the back to back basement of a hotel back.

And at that point and all the polls he was the leading contender. As most helpful. To Barack Obama when he. And so that's the crazy thing is that because that the mainstream media could get a second source they could report up. The National Enquirer never gave up after. And you just have to get -- you can get criticism.

Don't think that it it helped that he was a liberal or perceived to be a liberal and that that's one reason why they didn't really go after the way they might have gone after somebody else.

I mean they're on camera I've. The thing about the book is just out west probably 50% of the worst stories now because look at approval. Yeah I didn't there's going to be a game changed the camp along Vick cooperated. Any or all of what I was. I didn't want it personal attacks -- was. But I can tell you that what he told me on that percent this is where there were made mainstream publications that -- that little run of and he told Maine. That he called up the publisher where the editor and dissuaded them from running actual.

John Everett he's skeptical about. Us we -- to -- gets his way assist people over -- That's not speaking.

18774694322. We can you stick around you gotta go. Okay all we'll take a break everybody hang on we got full line Syrian -- people wanna talked area. Where we're like that Andrew Young he is the former aide to war senator John Edwards and he knows the inside story of this whole lot tale of John. John Edwards and the the new age of video graph for who -- Bork him. -- daughter out of wedlock which John Edwards denied and denied and denied until we finally admitted it so hang on 1877469432. From Howie --

this -- from the phone company looks thank you spent any time that real bad what we do.

18774694322. If you wanna talk to Andrew Young. He is the former aide to senator and vice presidential candidate in the presidential candidate. John Edwards and he was the guy that John Edwards talked into saying that he was in fact the father of Rio hunter's baby and as we know John Edwards himself was the father he never admitted -- until the eve. Of the publication of Andrew young's new book. The politician it's published by saint Martin's press you can order it right off of our web site. How we cart dot com. I injure this got a lot of people wanna talk to you I'm just gonna go straight back to phones okay. That's -- failure -- with Howie -- any Andrew Young author of the politician go ahead dale.

Yeah I have a question about the comment that was made where it says you can't hurt me it said it twice then I guess my question is. How delusional you have to be in today's instant media environment. I think that especially if you mention that there were repetitive event that that this wasn't going to come out some way shape or form -- we're gonna have. Another you know Kennedy Clinton. Edward revelations come out you know beep -- you know -- it's like it's like Clinton big -- you know like I'm just imagine what they daily newspapers -- gotten about the circulation. What all the stuff start to come out of it he was elected president.

Well. Who won the or comment that he made it repeatedly throughout all this -- every time she saw them from TV. Talking about how much you love is his wife who was getting. Almost daily you would -- every speech you. Give an update on -- capture. And talk about -- look at every time real ball that. She would go -- Senator and now I don't talk centered -- say you know. -- people talking about going public. You have to keep helping -- control. And he -- for -- response was. -- trial lawyer to.

Provided the airplane the -- MySpace it live then.

Via and that a lot of money. They just you know look if that does about it but one -- story. Politicians -- assault now what out that the film was. You know you've vultures that you're you're not -- temperature not Bill Clinton. Here you're not JFK. You build yourself up as an all American candidate and you you know you trotted out your kids you trotted out here are captured and -- the and you've you've made people believe. And you brought religion and and in your campaign. You've made people believe that you or something higher and better. And where -- where is what with Bill Clinton for the first time on YouTube views somewhat of the World Cup and that was part of right you'll write.

I guess what -- going into work try to get it with your earlier his golden. I you know when I saw my thought oh my god this guy's a phony each.

Typically pick up the that the best thing it's confusing for people luckiest ball almost. But disagree with you. If you saw on our all day with or all of the negative thing in the like. At the Erica so mechanical -- like -- enormity that it gives a speech that is already next time same facial expression. But when he was on it motivated. Up until it crowd would just be jail and after seeing it but. Is he gave that an expert but expect speech later on today. And he did have that than go on whatever you call it can't cross what the police cars have to give real credit. She. -- you know from her. In the movie background or whatever you wanna call she had an ability to help normal you know stay focused and keep that energy go. But the -- right when he saw on what it was all these struggle like not. When he saw when he is all he was used he was as bad as the debate is even worse to be try to read a speech in any particular.

You looked at me like somebody into would be a member of high side. -- setback it but strictly a and I'm not saying that in a positive way for the high side.

Except that but I will say -- will -- Avaya this dispute here in the early years. He was -- when it when he is off -- away. You know he was it is a good father to his kids. Very good -- is. And and I used to have early on it just about turn around 20042000. He just changed and it was. It was. Like Jacqueline you really want.

Dig deep you've never heard I guess from Elizabeth either have it.

There are several. Interstate voicemails. That we've not talked --

Who what -- the voice mails about. -- happy that -- going public.

Oh you mean you -- read what I haven't heard -- that actually she accused me of -- still are some that are definitely baseball Archie accusing using. How true perhaps affairs she accused in the just let -- think you can match.

While. Mike you're next we'll -- much time but go ahead Mike your next with the injury young author of the politician go ahead Mike.

Thank you Alley and corporate and Estrada as Obama doesn't give a shout out to colleagues. But but -- that's questionable for this beyond your -- there was an article. And see how Wall Street Albert has the world see we did you keep your read dot. Ansari X what.

Carroll who these these are an article but hazards of loyalty I'd get -- get -- Then you wanted com -- go ahead Mike.
