It's time -- so much he guarantee. Iran's president again questioning.

behind September 11 attacks Mahmoud Ahmadinejad now call me.

While the big law dogs find where each and every man under my command owes me 100. -- Dow Jones-Drew an arrow.

The first --

The school. Cheese I know broadcasting from a new. Building -- home I am talk. A good home Boston's ultra zoom. We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletins. Many times and turned around we'll.

But we -- all that caught the same forces that but reforms sixteen years ago. We're back and tried to convince members of congress that a vote for this legislation -- political there was now granted this bill is very unpopular from Hamas. Does anyone seriously think negative blows because losing her San Francisco district. A -- the Republican candidates often been his sport behind professional dominate Texas. And -- people. Let's get real that's not gonna happen.

Now the interest same thing about this was -- it was a very funny you know was not what was good about it was that they were that did the story line even from liberals say you -- what's more liberal senator NN live. Is are ripping the Obama administration for pursuing something that is not popular. In another part of this -- when I was -- quote marks with -- fingers even though this isn't popular. Even though it isn't favored by the American people even though. People don't want it -- ha ha ha -- and that's where does that -- feds say he is even trickled down to the bid to his base. Saturday -- zero deficit making a mockery of the about a modest mockery --

Make sure I don't overstate it a modest mockery of the president in this obsession. With health -- even though it's pull in a -- Palermo the clip in its interest -- that it's it's really two subjects in one it's President Obama himself. His speaking style which has become less and less. Impressive over a period of time in obviously his signature issue health -- so instead in Atlanta -- make fun of it well you know that's it's change the subject.

a feeling is soon going to be saying to somebody forged his signature -- signature is tough tough tough tough Harry Jerry Remy meanwhile yeah is very amateur redeploy in his assessment of job loss in this country can --

Hey isn't my hand America ought to. Only 36000 people lost their jobs today which is really good.

Does that excite but he thinks it's really good -- 36000 people lose their jobs. That's the perspective of Democrats in Washington got. I I think he hit the little he -- the -- cooks you have to play it again I think what -- going on there is I think there was a staffer. Trying to generate a little laughter and what she felt it was the obvious I think as a make it look like oh -- I think it was a woman I do I think you'll.

I wasn't -- I -- America ought to. Only 36000 people lost their jobs today which is really good.

If you think that Coughlin a signal though that I suggest next time -- bring an AK 47 -- so that was what I would call -- little snack. Photos of snicker snicker none of those stickers baathist Sosa snicker. Designed I believed to try to get the rest of the audience to understand all this is Harry being sarcastic. It was a terrible. Statement as I heard at the first time on Friday and reiterated repeatedly over the weekend. It doesn't get any that it doesn't get any benefit Harry Reid that will come back to.

Can't tell you as election none of that's already been cut into and out on charity has ventured off bill -- favor comedian -- how Democrats are the good people who believe in good government don't like the divisive in this in our in our political discourse. And Republicans are the evil ones who promote. This kind of ugliness all the time because all they care about is winning Democrats. Are really angels who were floating around with halos over their heads whose feet don't touch the ground. You know we have one example this Kelli Griffin comedian apparently who was up in Alaska doing some stand up. And she said the way that -- to the Sarah Palin got to be on the vice presidential ticket was providing sexual favors to John McCain almighty god we can't play it because she uses the actual. Because it's a -- hard hitting -- editorial street -- all right and then we also have a bill Marr who is just wishing wonderful things for one back.

Now speaking a crazy white people. You know about the troop there's in -- of these people are just throw them out of the Studio One nineteen people live within 9/11 was an inside job that the Pentagon was hit by a cruise missile well. Yesterday one of them tried to shoot his way into the Pentagon. You know it -- will we see crazy senseless deaths like this we can only ask. Why why why couldn't have been Glenn --

Those of the peace lovers it's been a hideaway. Our guys imagine. The gadget. Guy shooting into the Pentagon. Was not. EI mean he was not part of their try to make an indoor right right wing lunatic out. Now he's got more left point qualities than he does right where there were always yeah does he really okay he's a nut job that he was crazy how did you like down how did you like Michael Moore was application for the job chief -- I didn't really pay much attention -- look at you as Michael -- what -- say exact.

He had to it's a different to you Mr. President an open letter to the president suggesting that he himself Michael -- off the lodge one. Be brought into replace Rahm Emanuel -- is because he would be more aggressive -- yes yes absolutely so we can go up about some Republican heads he reminds the president the president won by almost ten million votes. It wasn't a squeaker it did not need US Supreme Court decision. Huge huge number in the -- democratic majority in the house a comfortable in your majority in the Senate. And he's very critical of Obama for what he's describes what he Michael -- describes. As. -- middle of the road muddling through trying to find bipartisan consensus view and I some are others see the president's actions in these first. Fourteen months of his presidency to be something less than by Protestant and in the middle.

I don't see where it would really change much Michael Moore I think that would be consistent with where the administration's been a hot hot. I'm DI -- celebration of healthcare and other things. In Cuba the Democrats by the way are melting down over over than their corruption -- ugliness is people you know they've they've got problems and it'll what's interesting is they were swept into office partially on a sense that. Congress have been degraded by Republican rule death and now we have Democrats who were all over the place with their ugliness they have they have any number of ethics issues that a percolating and to afoul public vote -- and Indian patients in the public thought. And is an understandable impatience you you have -- this guy Eric Massa the congressman -- say New York from. From the place where they make that cookware. I thought it begins glossy Corning -- Corning where -- the Corning ware our candidate he got elected two years ago congress. And he's leaving now because of the of the rumor is that he was sexually harassing male staff members loyal staff members that threat that that's after two years imagine if this -- twenty or thirty years like a lot of these guys to. Right off the batteries in trouble -- and he had a uninteresting defense he used the -- defense.

Some twenty comes under investigation for sexually harassing two male aides tell you -- you insulting language. Yeah. And I've tried to do better. Earlier there was all salty language and how is that -- cinnamon defensemen to talk about well you know you hate you screw up you talk like -- a hot. -- and there's all kinds stuff we can't play on the hot hot hot. I don't really wondering if you would -- boys will be boys that's the stuff we can do whenever I just what he's he's just character ever get a good package content. If you are you salty language the yeah.

Fewer and Eric Massa I don't know into go too far with apparel theft I just meant it was kind of familiar for you Democrats -- It's that does the salty language party that's okay so are Democrats is as bad as Republicans worse than Republicans what do you think in terms of this whole ethics think -- Charles Rangel is. Gross. Right ten he's got all these apartments these so low incomes -- control the power and control -- a new oral form I had to do for a in every 100 passionate Kyra enemy uses I think for a congressional offices congressional I think rights is personal congressional has no idea what it is and -- a campaign office shall maybe -- sort of ridiculous. Though the way he abuses. That resource that is supposed to be their for the people who he cares about so much because he's a compassionate look at --

Rent control how do you do for. Rent controlled apartments the whole premise behind rent control -- they couldn't go never liked the idea hated the -- their rent control the novelist all premises. That housing is a precious commodity it's limited. And that we should be trying to provide it and protectant protectant. Against market forces because people left to their own devices would otherwise be almost so congressman comes along and has. For these things under his command in this control on his occupation you are just makes no sense.

I'm about a guy who raises unlimited amounts of money he's got 400000 dollars in donations he's given to other congressmen. Got that argue that the congressman are scrambling to get -- of the money given bad because it's so embarrassing your took money from Charles Rangel. So there's a question for you who's really dirty -- party Democrats or Republicans couple years ago everybody was tired and GOP should be and so nasty and ugly. Or is it just. A matter of power. And that people can handle having power and if that's the case what do we do about our sister. The most out of what some people can't handle it and other people can I don't think that George Bush for example was was was corrupt I don't think that Jimmy Carter was corrupted. He lost in his heart that he did lost tennis procedure -- happens everybody if you salty language and one of those I -- fantasy I don't sanctioning murder -- he would have been courteous at all time -- Rosalind but I think it did it the burden is higher and Democrats and that's one of the problems -- have because they posture themselves as the good guys it's just like the conversation -- earlier about schools and education and taking care of the -- the position of the Democrats is their compassion they care. And we have the -- you Questar raised earlier by -- you know if they care so much how come the people they claim to care about minorities. Live in the areas that are the most decrepit and our society. The Democrats don't seem to be doing anything actually tell them because over time. If you look at the line the line does not improve if you look at the education line in the inner city. Doesn't improve so where is the changed. For that those people who are cared so much about by the Democrats will it improves at some level -- certainly has -- Massachusetts over the past. Well whatever you can do your heart just generalize education scene as everybody you want is the urban areas that are the darlings of the of the of the liberals. They don't appear to actually care they don't appear to have much compassion otherwise. They're just incompetent if they do have the compassion they're not capable of turning it into any action.

you and I've talked about this they're huge on and negative social and cultural forces at work. Almost impossible to overcome John and I were continuing the conversations we drove on of the cape on Friday that you and I had. And you -- which one was the one about inner city schools -- crappy teaches fight a whole bunch of them. And she said to -- really think that any good teacher after his diatribe that any good teacher would seriously considered going into a troubled. -- high -- your held responsible for everything you held responsible for example you're talking about precious and Monique in the back story on that one. -- held responsible -- the education of that the child that comes from the most screwed up families imaginable the most screwed up. Kind of for -- so she.

I would turn the net I would turn the question back to Donna who what why would an energized excited teacher going to a horrible or urban school now. You might have won the -- dream to teach and horrible or urban school put yourself at risk. And work with no resources and have a lot of of the more ordinary teachers are under that might be her dream but most likely. The energized excited teacher -- gonna look for the school that has the most resources that has the best kids that has the best opportunities for her to make excellent -- So lot of I think that question turns right around anyway -- Who's good who's bad on the political system. 6172666860. Are you suggesting that the Democrats have an exclusive hold on not ethical lapse ethical -- corruption however you wanna know rabbit what I'm suggesting is they have a higher standard that they hold themselves to because they posture of clean this excellence all this stuff. And they don't actually do any of the things they claim to do not about it not.

Bad not a bad response I think it's very very similar to a higher standard that Obama has created for himself he made himself this mythical figure he was gonna transform Washington DC. He was gonna get rid of the old -- and show a new a brilliant new pots and when people see that stuff. And Intel when it does not happen people hold it to the standard essentially a self.

That is one of his problems but there's no doubt -- doubt without a doubt he sold hope and change so well he he sold himself so well as the savior now. That it's an impossible standard to live up to even a good politician would be able to live up to it. And the skies just to begin -- in his operating -- percent six.

Let's -- John from lol good morning John what are like a wolf world. -- You have to do a good bet that that's not what chase okay good bad he didn't need a body atrocity and Republicans do deficit spending. Democrats do tax spending. About it because there's just look at Detroit and you can really make up your mind as to what a liberal policies will do for you you loans about afford.

Detroit is they can dream city of the Democrats is an.

They don't contribute -- crack houses left -- opens everywhere.

John thank you so much good to hear from you resolve and sort of what an incredible collapse to Detroit was one of the spectacular. American -- jumped Specter parity is little dream it is an absolute disaster it's certainly -- as are most urban -- it's. You know. -- if you look at where the people live in cities they are tough tough horrible places. And the education is tough and horrible and that's what liberals oversee so I don't always you know. I mean the point is not to break -- I think Republicans have their problems as well I think John's got a point. Debt. There's a systemic problem and that the root of it may be the fact that we don't pay enough attention I think we talk about all the time we let them get.

Out of control assure voters who voter indifference -- voted distraction. All also sometimes -- sense that all politics. Is local Chia song as our guys bring in on some bread and butter for us we don't particularly care about something they might be doing. On the margin who have seen this big big fight going on for number he has between McCain and a whole bunch of other people on borrowing them some other company with regard to a -- tanker. And -- line tanker. And who knows what the right position -- but they're all sorts of allegations of corruption and ethical lapses. Going back and forth and people fighting over jobs and contracts -- connects NW RQ good morning to you.

Create more atomic dog -- you -- Michael its third ought to -- fired at large are may have been there are. The Democrats especially the -- Obama watched very -- Democrat they're. I mean if you pick a look at all he had a pretty -- there won't stop I mean the ball forty years or forty years. Not an exchange -- could very remote they're all united when it went campaign Kabul. They talk about how they get it changed the world and it's not about the same old crap you know although all of our bill the Republican. They have a plan. Not the bottom why better prepared they're going to be usually pretty cup web.

What is the upside the almighty viewer got looking impartially at the Republicans and offer a similar kind of -- critique. What would it be where is the failure worst the deception on the parts of Republicans.

All the problem -- who got -- docket their message across parts through the end of that he's become Vienna city derived version of the motive and they and then in the district. They're brainwashed by the Democrat the Democrats are gonna do bigger picture I remember ever and ever go the other people now.

But you know what does this -- flip -- from my point of you might use this that the Republicans haven't gone out and marketed to these voters I think they assume it's a lost cause but. They should be going NM marketing to urban voters they should say look. It's been the sixty years they've promised you good education they don't give you good education. They've promised you capital secrets our businesses you don't have the capital they've promised you say streets you don't have a safe streets they progress -- improvement from one generation of the next do you see a lot of improvement on -- all.

A litany of claims a political promises that have not been met but what's the republic I wanna know what the specific Republican's solution is rather than a critique. Of five democratic policies that have clearly clearly fallen short. What's the Republican alternative and you and I actually heard a guy. The mayor of forget maybe its new look as a Cory -- yes and you and I want to listen to this a black guy. Very very articulate guy and I don't mean that in a Barack Obama senses a guy I may get to just yet impressive guy yeah I may get his hands dirty and by that I mean they had data data responsibility for running a -- organization police fire -- schools. Cleaning the streets are all those all those different things he's a very very impressive guy. He would point to what happened in Massachusetts where under folks like Bulger a Democrat. Birmingham Democrat Roosevelt Democrat clarity Democrat -- wealth. He and so -- in swift and you know what it was sensible Democrats sensible Republicans. Coming together in pushing back against unions pushing back up -- it's -- arrest led by the success.

Or statewide it's not an urban 1 Paul good morning you're on with summit --

Barring chaotic good disagree majorities from lol yeah out Detroit I it would destroy it there are sure I mean. Foul ball is given away interest rates give it away -- the air and that's what happens when neat when you don't put people would. Higher education also work to be bigger ball ever smarter I economy is usually what we end up work.

All right. I think we know where you drive -- out -- 6172666. -- succeeds Thomas 56 AB WRKO.

Haven't had your -- of how we this week to the WRKO.
