isn't he -- we're getting the best life insurance is always a slam dunk smear Sarah Palin she had a little interchange are not direct. But she and the president spoke. Indirectly to one another and it's a very interesting things to listen to cook she's got the sound force let's break it down.

Cook he's -- his son's decision to restrict. Use of nuclear weapons saying you're pledge not to strike nations nonnuclear nations. Who abide by the non proliferation treaty here's what she said she said it's unbelievable. No other administration would do it and then she'd like that the kids on a playground.

Like get back and didn't help -- on the playground bunch of kids are ready to fight again when the kids say go ahead punch me in the face and I'm. --

You response. I really had no response -- bless our checks are paralyzed not much of an expert on. Nuclear. Issues to know when the strain of.

OK -- all getting older there's so he does he do this is -- I don't have to respond to Sarah Palin. Cliche that I the president -- the United States with ten years experience in politics. Should have to respond to hurt but her fifteen years of politics.

the strain of criticism has been out among other Republicans. As well they think you're restricting use of nuclear weapons too much and what I would say remembers is prepared. The secretary of defense. And the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff for comfortable where I'm probably gonna take my rights amendment not -- are concerned about her criticism.

She's irrelevant and then he brings -- back to her after they move onto other things because she's so irrelevant to consider a lot of things about Barack Obama but he can't say that is politically -- he knows by bringing him back to her that's his safest. Place he thinks yeah he thinks because nobody really does take Sarah Palin seriously azalea. Nuclear adviser nuclear expert now at the same time I'm not sure that everybody takes Barack Obama which is why he would decide -- other people -- to make his point and -- the yearly news reports on this was that a secretary defense was opposed to. Intel and by the way joystick until -- until there was a more persuasive discussion in the White House apparently and by the way is this not. Barack Obama responding to the a the please so the pressures of the Nobel committee. Keep in mind the dynamics say this guy is is nominated and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize eight days into his presidency fall watched. Because of the this is being played this has been played out and faculty. Lounges and classrooms awfully years and years and is what Barack Obama. He's very clever politically he knows what moves that -- left. That left base that political base of his. This is -- no you can't serious like here's a milk tell them you can't.

Seriously think that he wants to whip out his moves for his base on this issue. When he knows how much fury creates for the rest of the country which gave a you know if you're the White House and senate looking at polls you see you got no bounce out of the passage of the health care bill despite the expectation that this cut the celebration of victory would have brought good -- the level of disdain for the health care bill is up about -- at record levels just. And you see a country that's basically divided between its president. And know what -- in general population sees you -- Tea Party movement that's coming into town here in Boston next Wednesday. -- is energized and fired up and is more popular than the president and his beliefs. Why would you wanna go doing -- MB doing things that satisfy your base.

He he while his why I think the president Barack Obama is a triangular later except he's -- try any later on an issue he's trying yet try to regulate -- and the macro sense so he's been aggressive in Afghanistan and Pakistan right he's up to the troop level and he says we're gonna prepare and another 30000 troops. The left wing is upset about -- the left a little about that decisions left -- however is ecstatic about this nuclear situation keep in mind the left wing was disappointed. No public option -- remember that up -- no single pay hero you know Barack's a sellout so he doesn't -- and Yang depending upon. The issue and he's just trying to keep people off balance in many ways is like a ballot checked. I you know you keep the opponent out Dallas and you become an unpredictable love fellow why I think this was so predictable this nuclear want -- is.

All of that's why I don't understand why you're saying is -- of the Nobel committee I think in his heart. This is what Barack Obama thinks. These in the presidency -- to do these things that the American people don't like but the lofty left likes. And that's where I think his sense of mission is and then to the political thing which is maybe once you energize his base with the elections coming up but again I don't think. His people can survive this he's got a lot of members of congress. -- walking around on egg shells from back in their home districts trying to deal with the higher that they're facing everywhere they go just so I tried to meet this feeds the -- and -- the sense. -- the majority of Americans. That this is a government has run away from what America's supposed to be what the constitution is and what they in their guts to believe America is. And then that's a great divide I don't know how the Democrats are gonna recover from. Well you know -- I I don't discount this guy because he's come from these come from nowhere and he is now the president of the United States still has a cloning. Adoring press for the most part absolutely incredible trust why -- three computer screens just about Tom probably arena shows what it's taken a page -- you know what it -- what did you monitor going to sleep. Not only just like our producer 6172666. CH six seed Rainier NW RQ good morning.

registry -- to monitor. How real goods. Quote get Alitalia and history will prove that this guy is -- actual worst president this nation has ever had. I would just what I structure we -- couldn't be beaten. Boy I'll tell you that this guy has no handle on anything anything. The treatment of of our solid ally in the Middle East Israel is an abomination isn't.

Dad unbelievable that by the way all the gratuitous disrespect to the UK not that up right now we. That we look to them as a model but this then that special relationship they've been fabulous to us so right he has. But the thing is the disrespect on the Falklands a whole host of other things can you imagine by the way you give. The president she -- to either the prime minister and other royal family of dvds of Iraq's greatest speeches.

Yeah. Did did it say it's trying to compress the actual weight he's behaving ME. You know EA it's like kids this is big -- the world where is -- Amber's gonna win everybody over. It's not gonna win anybody over Russia would like nothing better than this -- destabilize US. -- go to C United States falling back on its appeal everywhere in the world. The Russians have you know let's say that they got a free pass when the attack Georgia. Everybody nobody seems to be talking about -- all what about the blank inhibition of this guy pollutants. Who would truly like to see Soviet Union. Back again they wanna be a world class and their behavior likely won't play and if we think there were gonna get China and Russia on -- these sanctions. Program against Iran -- their --

Yeah Iraq seems to have convinced himself that all the countries of the world particularly our foes and our competitors. We'll school when they hear his life story they all thank you he must think -- the New York Times editorial board. Where is America heading is really what this question is all about. Are you are -- there's obviously agree with -- agree with the Tea Party movement in general. That we're moving in a bad direction but I I wonder if everybody is feeling that way if it's starting to permeate the masses. Yet. That there's a president who's really outside of the norms in terms of belief system I think he's a Marxist. And I think in many of the people controlling Washington are marxists they don't believe in. Did did the sound at the from who may militia player coming up there's a cut from. Andrew Napolitano we have done this on the area that would help that he did a few months ago -- and we James Cliburn the the -- congressman from sub parallel that got a civil rights guy who is. I think the third number three guy ranking Democrat in the house represented big shot he talks to him about. Live with the constitution and the health care bill you gotta hear this cut it's an amazing thing to behold so we'll do that coming up 6172666860. Tom and taught and W.

Further proof that our assumption about about Democrats is true. We've played because of -- congressman. Denying any awareness of the constitution. When passing new legislation that is job pending the notion of.

And America's supposed to be. This is from a few months ago Andrew Napolitano judge a volatile and interviewing James Cliburn. Third ranking Democrat right so -- hyper sophisticated. About the constitution Steny Hoyer and James Cliburn NC order leadership and represented is James Cliburn gets passed by judge Napolitano. About the constitutional. Premise for the health care bill was a shocking listen -- this where in the constitution is the federal government charged with maintaining people's health.

What does not in the -- just alluded there's nothing in the constitution that physical -- there. They're -- going to do that most of us got to reduce. This program have got nothing to drop did you do it education. You work the program had not stepped in this case and I don't think my parents don't ever gotten more. My father was denied -- optimistic it will be proposed.

Hold regular cars are perfect so what he's basically saying is we have no interest in the constitution would pay no attention. And only care about is the results we guy ends justify means and --

Well all I won't argue with you on that last point you just made about oftentimes the end justify the means. That sometimes it would be -- thank you -- congressman and legislative bodies. At the same time I will argue with you that is not being totally indifferent to the constitution this notion there is no federal mention of education -- therefore they're not. There according -- constitution they're not coach supposed to be involved with -- do you -- again you'd think that under the general welfare clause that the federal government cannot establish some could have some policy -- don't.

General welfare -- is subsidiary to the limitations that are placed on the show that the federal jurisdiction so the constitution -- is the areas of responsibility for the feds that's all the the State's authorize the federal government to do. Under the constitution or otherwise.

Then when a state that would did adopt DO believed challenge is the creation of the national what do whatever it's called the department of educate young federal department of education and challenges at. And it's upheld the constitutionality. Of it is upheld under the general welfare clause what do you say.

An editor that the -- that we've got to get the liberal judges who don't care about the constitution off the court didn't. There's a two pronged approach going on here wanna sell the politicians has it even ever been a conservative descend to that specific issue federal thought I'd -- constitutional authority under the Bob I don't know started to forget but there's obviously no constitutional authority he just see he just admitted that he says we do it -- we want to. And that's why we don't care what it says in the constitution. LCI OIII I think you're right but to me just say -- streaming your interpretation of his remarks most Ellison okay let's listen to again play that again Cox. It's just maintaining people's health.

What does not limit competition would do there's nothing in the constitution that physical does not. They're gonna going to do that most of the stuff to reduce this program does not -- the crowd treated to an education. -- do you work. The program had not stepped in this -- and I don't think my parents don't ever gotten more. My father was denied they're not committed -- because state law the federal government at this the.

Aren't so what we references educational -- gone on I don't believe that in the constitution -- any reference to transportation. Would you say that the national highway acts of the fifties under Eisenhower as unconstitutional what I'm saying is that the burden on these guys now is to be walking around thinking about every piece of legislation the roaring fork. From the within the context of the constitution -- and the the good condition we're in now because of this attitude of the screw the constitution attitude is its agenda first so we have elected socialists we have a Marxist in the White House we have a Marxist speaker of the house there are socialists who do not care about the constitution. And they happen to be getting away -- right now. The Tea Party movement. I believe as a response to the fact that there are enough people left around the older people by definition. Who used to get an education in the Democrats schools. And understand. What this country supposed to Vieira are appalled to see that we're being run by people have no interest in the custody.

to hear this but I actually I I'm inclined to agree with you in terms of the extra -- and perhaps the unconstitutional status. Of the healthcare issue issue because it did it differs from education transportation's two examples I gave you in history that it does mandate -- That all American citizens purchased a particular. Product that's not the case.

That was trends that are -- only his and obviously unconstitutional but any thing not. Specific specified in the constitution is being the jurisdiction of the Fed's. Falls to the states to take care of and my question is what's wrong with that what is the problem why -- the feds feel. This is so. Determined. To go contrary to what the console I get to allow you the case and education.

Mr. Cliburn was referencing the fact that his dad. Under state -- this is South Carolina and pretty racist statement after many many years. Was prohibited was denied under state law so the feds would have felt under the Civil Rights Act and others other statutes enacted. An obligation to review the president the United States start our leader in congress. You might look at we have this country is going educationally and be concerned -- say this is of urgent national interest. That the horribly. Pathetic. Mediocre academic standards we have. Our cause of national concern the -- fought. I proposed a formation of -- department of education and within that I want to have the rigorous standards that. Jim mr. just a jolly.

Shia pro articulate I would say -- out by the way. Then what they were here talking about is how the feds are threatening to screw up education nice way to Massachusetts which they have no right to do. And by the way I think education was better until we got into the 1970s when they created the federal Department of Education started making a mess of it from a federal level. They have no business and -- every state gets to do education they have no business in healthcare every state can do healthcare they have no business and any thing. That is not dictated. By the enumerated powers of the constitution yet they feel compelled to and I think the reason they feel compelled to is because they want this to be a socialist society they don't -- the founders meant then by the phrase. Through the regulation of commerce interstate commerce and by the general welfare -- what do you think the regulation of commerce means obviously that we if we have fifty separate units operating their own economies. That some time somebody's got to regulate what happens when a truck drives from New Hampshire to Massachusetts just so you need a third party to referee that's all it doesn't mean you'll -- just you use that as an excuse to undermine what the obvious premise of the constitution.

There's did they also not mean by them what I would characterize as an elastic about choice of words in the general welfare. Of the citizen right now doesn't -- now doesn't it wasn't that the way of anticipating that. Eight is very small coastal. Group of states was going to expand they had this sense I hope that it was going to expand and grow. It was the society would change dynamically. As we've seen a change in immediate ways since the founders wrote. About the general welfare that what was needed us suggested to the federal government back and the seven the late seventeen hundreds is gonna be fundamentally different from what would happen in the late nineteen hundreds of yup.

But in the most of the nine kind of way subsidiary to the enumerated powers so general welfare sure that they're supposed to do things based on those powers they're granted. That. That accrue to the benefit of the country that's what general welfare means it doesn't mean. This is. A door through which it. Everything the constitution doesn't represent an -- what I agree it's not a blank check but that's how it's treated -- I I just like Louisiana and Oklahoma State went on Cliburn I don't think Cliburn is Cliburn steadily. -- thing we do here is constitutional that's what he said we don't care -- GR interpretation you just play a one liner Ian Cook Sylmar. All right and come -- Garnett ya good idea hey thanks I cannot.

Okay hey look the constitution was written or told that completely -- Written so that they could find excuses -- when -- to get -- and I left point that Barack Obama -- point -- He changed under the constraints of the constitution. -- little like what it what the limits are true yeah 38888. Down. Not that they didn't -- going to want our country total socialist and Todd is talking about it adds.

And what we need to understand then is this is a kidnapping the extremists are not those of us who were standing up for the constitution that is the most mainstream thing you do the extremists are the ones who for the past generation. Have been moving the country in the Republicans amid part of this move as well. Which is why the Tea Party movement appears to be so out of context because even Republicans have become such speed tests. That they've gone along with this crap that's patently unconstitutional.

What does not limit competition would it has not been the constitution -- physicals are not. They're gonna have tended to lose most of the stuff to reduce.

there's a guy who swore. Under oath to uphold the constitution of the United States is -- we don't doesn't have anything to do the constitution and most of what they do is not specifically. And -- all you can do is what specifically Norris and he's just conviction himself he just pleaded guilty to violating the constitution get it seems to me that you can look tonight nice job mr. speaker always seems to me that somebody's who's gonna I he opposition would be able to point to an opinion let's say by Justice Scalia or Roberts or Alito what Thomas or somebody else. That would that that would I --

That this is blatantly unconstitutional and his why not just the statement an analysis of the general welfare clause in the statements that congress make that -- do as a country have a national interest in -- to minimum standards for what passes for education in the United States of America if I was the president I would tell if that he had in view the president. I hope you would be series about a bring the same level of focus in intensity that they -- of people bring any it would lead -- about standards is no reason why. Every state in the nation should not be what is the what is the phrase raced to the top racing to the desktop and as a president you should incentivize them to do that -- is not unconstitutional.

Million we have to get into the details here proposal for incentivizing them Bobby RN WRQ good morning.

are you going to -- I don't want. Okay in a couple of comments -- first -- and education administrator and also former history teacher. -- the -- that federal government first got into major programs for education. -- it's not mandatory of the states that how they got it's foot into the -- door and education -- here we will give this money no strings attached. But if you ask me there are attached if you do take the money. I'm you have to push Matt and I can't that -- reacting to spot it.

You're saying they got their foot in the door by deliberately not making it a violation of the constitution. But then after everybody gets used to it then they do bait and switch. And that's what we're used to with these guys sorry what we've got we will go to what are we got a broken vertebrae RO go to and that we have Mark Williams from the JIRS constitutional was the GI bill let's do -- think about that tomorrow. All right I'll be back okay. --
