RK -- time for another edition movie and deep web yeah. The very best of the world wide web.

Audio stories you won't hear from the mainstream.

Web jam welcome -- and will. Listen here. Welcome back -- good morning and absolutely fabulous. Day -- water a day glorious sunrise. It feels great the humidity is all gone -- might be depressed but these days he's still -- I have to come and I'm in a way one went to.

Every week say this week is seventy degrees or higher now that is a pretty good thing in the first week in men usually on the bubbly -- between the two -- you've got a negative outlook on my own eyes are equally as optimistic Q I just inject reality in your blindly optimist reality yeah you haven't found reality and more than fifty is on this -- that's all I -- about a three -- so -- emerged that someone who are. You think the world you could be in the middle of the Hiroshima bomb I tried watching nothing come down on your head and -- the pilots -- good guy probably get a feel it's going to be -- he's gonna wore big bucks and are good Jack I just wanna tell you something just to inject a little reality into this beautiful beautiful love our census and dad are. If this if you've got to look at the evening temperatures well for those who've gotten potted plant the tomatoes and everything else. They they have there's those evening temperatures have to be consistently above fifty degrees which.

Are doing current. No not really now it's down you know get this this weekend our -- are going to sit by the way where they were brought there is not our web jumps segment on Ellis and Thomas hijacking would save the best we're starting off today with. Wait wait wait wait yes I got out by telling people that we're broadcasting from the new balance you were supposed say the five men they know what is really kept interrupting me with -- silly. Now you started -- and unreality so hot hot hot Elofsson new ballots well what is your does -- go ahead -- here remember Browning that great job doing a heck of a job at location oh George Bush is the idea that theme -- right so bad after that was it turns out he was on Neil Cavuto last night.

And I think the delay was this is pure politics. This president has never supported big oil he's never supported offshore drilling and -- he has an excuse to shut up back then. Forty heard Bill Nelson -- to -- for -- talking about offshore drilling is deal. They played politics with this crisis and left the Coast Guard out there by themselves doing what you're supposed to do.

So Michael you don't take him at face value -- he says the temporary holds. In offshore drilling -- just that and.

No no he. Bill Nelson then you can you know that they don't say these things without it being coordinated. And familiar looking there this oil slick approaching over. The Louisiana shore according to certain hint no oil and other places that the winds -- royal wolf the east coast. This is exactly what they want because now he compared her to the environmentalists and say I'm gonna shut down. Because it's too dangerous well Mexico and China and everybody else drills legal you're gonna get shot that.

All right that's -- how dumb as Michael Brown -- that is why -- migrate that is the question how I feel proud as I is Michael you agree with him. This also have Obama this is does this is some type a conspiracy to shut down offshore drilling here in the united states of -- you ought to be don't know he's a what is gonna have a lot of good crisis go to waste up right in do you know what's gonna happen of the price of oil and gas and what does he care held responsible for that. It helps a global war -- movements and he had just just right Obama water the last guy you crazy Obama -- so proud of -- say on adult kids who don't tell us why else -- Kweisi --

He liked it he thinks this is actually being coordinate coordinated out of the White House. To shut down -- shore drilling this being what this these shut down of offshore drilling as a result of the BP. Explosion of the oil -- you have an oil slick that's running from Louisiana to Florida I have no idea where it's gonna circulate. To suggest that somehow or that this was -- this is now. Taking advantage of the crisis to coordinator shut down. The price of gas will go to four bucks a gallon all of -- get killed politically. My -- William -- you know call down for the needs to stop the existing wells from delivering loyalty to -- that's exactly what he just says there what do you guys -- I've got to admit what they shut down up and down the coast are two keys. The environmental.

And your NW RU wow what -- Madison.

Mourning mourning guide yeah I don't believe I actually agree with -- yet. And what. I bet that in fact the elbow Obama are actually. -- this blind bit.

they -- works because it makes it it'll it'll make the environmental. Movement. You -- well and and it is big media is not what you have to go to support all the gallon. Then why. Did they not give us the truth. Two years ago when -- competitive I don't out. Palace that China would buying up all the supplies. Find out afterwards but China would actually get inquiry -- smaller --

All right thank you so called and 617266. Exceeds 68 re an accent WRKO. Hey red. -- laden. -- let's go to this event by the way they do Courtney messaging. All the time. The -- as a matter of fact is a video we got to see we can find it. Where in response to this message everybody in the administration almost every sentence there honoring they -- from day one. From day once somebody commercial at all to get our show notes but that they used that phrase from day one trying to they -- they -- wherever they are asked with George Bush and brownie and the like and make up for the fact that they weren't all that responding and I and I.

Korea I don't think that they were immediately responsive the notion that some are on the United States senator from Florida huge state massive coastline. Incredibly rich fishery is not legitimately be independently concerned. And not coming to his -- her own conclusions without coordinated with the White House if the other United States senator from Florida this -- oil -- is -- washing up when you -- sure -- killing a -- ballistic and are coordinating coordinating anything with Obama you're just -- ballistic protect the -- state here's -- why are people BP by --

Self 12%. Of their oil. Comes from the golden offshore drilling in the gulf so we wanna do to shut down on this a big outfit that this is a big impact I have wellness center BP enough for now one well necessarily come from a guy on the go -- absolutely -- WRKO. --

Yes your -- one of those who actually believe that. You know -- I'm not a big issue from -- right -- Well a couple weeks after President Obama announces something unlikely like offshore drilling now this disaster. -- An explosion -- I mean come on please -- what --

What are when you and are not cheap you like about Larry Sabato an explosion you think he did. There are no of course not even a short Circuit City trying to govern a nation so what are still. They're permanent -- what -- use things like the same people block the SUVs they blew up the oil right.

They've ordered through Mormon or -- Eric my bosses are. Former you don't believe distort their face all current the -- over and slashing tires real. But I won't -- is that now these.

Well that's a good -- I appreciate I appreciate the call they have got to hit a bit beyond the environmental disaster remind people I think seven people -- eleven people killed -- somebody's involved and deliberate destruction of -- that -- guilty of -- this is conspiracy -- America but these people -- the ones -- that big -- a couple years -- L player remember they will pull -- all those suvs and -- all your -- yes yes I mean most people crazy they act like that we -- out of your mind yes -- they -- insane. Anthony RW RKO. And their credit.

Well I think yeah -- good morning. I don't watch it it's being you why it's -- government twelve days he'd get involved. I'm not saying -- Bob multiple an Op -- stuff like that but I do know app store rob Emanuel said. They drag this out -- as bad -- it could be that he didn't want to eat eat what they shut out you thought it too many people agree with their. I don't trust dumped at Rahm Emanuel pretty much ordered the army the government held off -- that make it -- bottom line.

All right thank you we're gonna return to this topic and a couple minutes the first who -- through some or other cuts so we can complete our segment. As were supposed to here with webcams Mayor Bloomberg. Mayor Bloomberg offhand remark about who we thought before they've made the arrests last night. Who voted them Mayor Bloomberg think did this attack in in in New York City and what many think their motivation was listening to us.

If I had to guess 25 cents this would be. Exactly that. Somebody else around common ground. May be a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that does sound like you the health care bill or something into --

Care bill people don't hesitate party person. That's what Mayor Bloomberg says -- your party guy he'll try to block New York City because we know they're all crazy terrorists. He doesn't say does see that it's one of those environmental wackos you. He doesn't say one of -- anti immigration protesters who was thrown rocks -- windows in the in Santa Cruz -- no it's a team party guy that's who Mayor Bloomberg dioxide. Is that terror wrong it's round up the usual snuck into summer home grown terrorists -- angry about the health care -- not get there the only ones dumb enough to make on the doesn't blow up. Hot water but -- Walters thank you grow up in Medford. Born. Made a fortune to. You know made a fortune yes my question how to make them money. Now let's see how much you why he's a lot of billionaire Mount Pleasant though how much watts to bat. If I had to guess 25 cents. Feasibility what I sensing cheap -- on -- I'll come on Haifa Israel this hybrid. And she noticed -- let's see what Karl Rove says about president. Palin.

Yeah look right now she's of a phenomenon -- she -- she has enormous popularity and sub elements of party from your performance in the 2008 general election. But she in my opinion is not made that this step the transition from. You know successful vice presidential candidate political phenom. Two candidate potential candidate for the presidency.

Nobody's gonna argue that are -- no although I do find it interesting that if it and I like to listen to Karl Rove -- very bright guy. But I find it interesting that it comment on her preparation. And her readiness. For the office. George Bush was a governor out of Texas there's nothing particularly. Noticeable. About his performance as governor similar to Barack Obama as a matter of fact. And we -- these phenomenon now Todd. In which the last achievement to have seems to be essentially could be better political preparation for the big election.

Not accept the bush came from a political family there was not that that's necessarily legitimate reasons. But I think there's more of a sense of legitimacy special where his father was presidency he knew it was in the presidency and he was involved with helping out. And understood how power works -- connection with all these powerful people you feel more comfortable with a George W. Bush and his. Relatively small it's -- she was in his first term as governor when he became presidential Cambodia which is.

Pretty reject any any any have been a little bit of a Playboy meaning but self admitted I'm always -- bit -- and visit our industry price and -- problem O'Sullivan like data any kind of acknowledges it and said look -- from my lord save -- cleaned up all the -- that stuff. But there was nothing distinctive about George Bush as there is not a particularly distinctive about about the president to -- to -- your mother support your marijuana use when you're young.

pop pop pop pop and they -- still supporting conference. --

Well and marijuana two words most people wouldn't put together -- some local moms are reaching the healing power of hi I'm able to function. A lot better better quality and quality of life I think it. I don't have that and it relieves -- a whole lot better here Caldwell agrees. Arguing for her prescription drugs carotene don't make the chemicals and make being capable of taking care of my children. As opposed to -- don't. She also worries about -- key is getting into your medicine cabinets when you have all these bright colored tells -- now they're being thinner balloon they're pretty. You know big big in the leg -- if it'll.

Now that's what you're eating at -- moron.

Instead both Sarah and Vicky would choose marijuana for themselves. -- and their family.

wait till the boomers get to the nursing home. They'll be demanding asset. The truck traffic I'm good and right here I -- her kids coming in Louisiana I thought but could well. -- the kids to raise the medicine cam and she got a point there are better to have marijuana and there are shaken a marijuana Joe Biden the vice president United States comments on the Arizona one Arizona. And.

Recently signed by your garage this -- And I hope it will not stand.

Terry thank you Joe we're very anxious senior -- Who invited him out to give up political opinions after all this is the scariest web gem of the day it's our last one Pennsylvania -- Pay it forward it to try to get people to pay their taxes now. If you think about the whole concept of big brother and what makes what made the founder scared of government. And why they crafted our constitution the way they did craft our constitution. Then you listen -- the -- you understand -- they may go all the worst fears of government crystallized for you in 32.

Some Unionists Tom you lived just fifth street -- nice car town nice town flights not. Nice you know Pennsylvania 4212. Dollars in -- actions. -- honestly can make this easy pay on lines like June 18 it's. Your canopy yeah and yeah popular interest. Because you can't. We do know who you are.

How scary war that. -- toolbar -- Erica I don't think that's kinda -- that makes you wanna pay your taxes so I think it's kind that wants to yell -- people I'm very surprised -- Ed Rendell -- the governor and I believe -- Rendell -- the government that would. -- a Democrat would allow the I don't think he's a sensible Democrat -- his feet on the ground he does a Sunday morning sports broadcast as governor of football broadcast booster for policies -- you -- any governor would do that if he had the chance no I'm not I'm not -- not so sure about that. Lucky understand if therapy if you paid your fair share mean new -- who were all paid. You don't like send deadbeat who when campaign we don't like the deadbeats who pay nothing at all we don't like the did pizza was supposed to pay and don't pay so there should be some. Kind of to accelerate the tax collection what do you call those trying to get the money got an amnesty and amnesty so that America penalized -- the like so we try to get it. That is a horrible. Add however in terms of encouraging people to do the right thing did -- take advantage of the incentives that -- there. That's that is Big Brother creepy.

Tara let's go back to your friend of brownie he speaks so highly -- Paul who did such a -- for the job but I actually gonna have a job market -- yesterday -- about.

They've played politics with this crisis that left the Coast Guard out there by themselves doing what we're supposed to do. So Michael you don't take him at face value -- he says. The temporary holds. In offshore drilling is just that a temporary home.

Well no he. Bill Nelson then you can you know that they don't say these things without it being coordinate. And familiar looking there this oil slick approaching over. The Louisiana shore according to certain in no -- of other places that the winds -- royal wolf the east coast. This is exactly what they war because mail. He compared her to the environmentalists and sorry I was shut it down. Because it's too dangerous well Mexico and China and everybody else -- legal we're gonna get shot that.

So that is brownie who was ahead of FEMA be in the Bush Administration. On the -- good yesterday saying that the Obama administration's going to use this event it to shut down all offshore drilling. On the coast of the United States that hassle. That's a far fetched prediction bankruptcies behind at a 100% -- behind it -- what I think that's -- 17 produce pics specs -- all 6868. Is that a little bit of you would recall on 90911. Truth mentality.

Yeah that's it this is more believable -- out eleven stuff -- Because he's always been against that they are short -- Any -- definitely assists as the reason it's not doing so a few weeks ago when he talked about nuclear power than a few weeks after that when he talked about rupture drilling just an -- just -- just alive just a -- Nellie -- this thing to -- so to what purposes to -- to show that -- normal that is reasonable on energy production -- walking through -- because now with his real game. His real game according to you and Mike Brown is to shattered all bound. -- this will disrupt. Oil markets be on believe you'll have it's up it's no bus carpet -- right I was at about 289 I think the of the day aren't filled you know you're overpaying a business -- lets round them up it's called about three it's around three bucks a gallon may be a little bit less it. It BF four bucks a gallon in less than a month if in fact -- and Chrysler operate in this role in oil will be back up to 15080. Of the above.

I'll ask them if they want Obama's -- because you can do more damage our crisis exactly -- all he does wanna kidnapping -- were you want do you think he wants to lose control of the US house. Possibly lose control and it was done actually is the presidency will be doomed and I think you don't wanna lose you the he he might be presidency is still he might be inexperienced but he's not dumb. John your NW RKO good morning.

Good morning gentlemen aren't just going. You know I don't think I certainly. Don't have any grassy Knoll theories on how -- occurred but out tire right now. They drag their feet -- federal government should have been involved. Would within hours of this state should have been on TV if -- as President Bush all I mean think of what happened with Katrina Katrina -- the horrible disaster. The White House -- such a beaten for not being.

More aggressively pro active in the beginning in and essentially infringing on the rights of states.

You get involved and ask what everybody agrees that they should have so where would.

Washington. You know ten days ago when this occurred fourteen days ago. I mean they sat back.

They watched it happen say and Eric Close and all that and we're gonna have British Petroleum picked -- we're gonna -- a foreign company be responsible. But whether or not a livelihood. Of fishermen in Florida and Mississippi and Louisiana.

Okay -- did Tom's concerned what would be the motive -- fewer president of the United States who lives and dies by electoral politics. Why would you want to drive up the cost of oil. Put the economy into a tailspin just as it may be beginning a recovery.

I don't think there was that much forethought in it to face -- we're gonna let this thing get great you know let oil go back to a popular half a barrel however -- inexperienced level.

And they're not assisted them are saying I can get involved because I don't wanna let a good crisis go to waste. And the timing was off I think it was certainly a calculated. This vision I mean think about it there's -- it's inexcusable. It's totally inexplicable about why they were not on peavy then next. Yeah I mean he brought.

How about incompetence how about misjudge and how about police -- what are Obama really know what BP said that was -- my that's probably what I was leaving -- they're looking -- for bodies they thought they might be survival is no cameras no excuse for believing. Somebody in the middle of a crisis like that you go check yourself. Kevin you're right away or railway. Before you go running off Don -- track we go to heaven and ten seconds. The other one who says hey wait a minute we don't want the government into interfering with Toyota we don't want the government interfere with this so that. At some point they can you seem to be arguing against itself sometime I don't want the government got involved at all not you want the government involved. In less than twenty full route was India in his situation on private property. A private property they have an excerpt I have the -- don't believe Osaka -- I know he's an emergency only and I'm saying they you know you get immediately call people together and start dealing with the emergency like. Should have happened with with Katrina Kevin good morning.

I have to go guys wanna chance. Through everything they want your poll.

Yeah he wants to do that in a controlled manner by dealing with climate change written legislation and such for cap and trade. But look -- are described -- overall policy.

The web servers that we would put a Cap and Trade System -- place that is more if that is as aggressive if not more aggressive than anybody's else's out there I was the first call for -- 100% auction. On the Cap and Trade System which means that every. Unit of carbon or greenhouse gases what was emitted would be charged. To the -- That were -- create a market in which. Whatever technologies are out there to be presented whatever power plants that are being built. That they would have to meet don't -- rigorous of that market and the ratcheted down. Caps that are placed. Imposed every year.

And he did so if somebody wants to Burkle -- Obama. Come on now and he did say that there will be re create them because I'm. -- huge subsidies -- already crazy today in the house yes Obama's drive me crazy never stops a sentence. Somebody give them a slap upside the head. He did say what caused by the.

18100 dollars a year for help. For -- legislation skyrocket and said. Exactly 6172666. -- succeed you think the Obama administration deliberately. Dragged its -- in responding to the gulf oil crisis. It's -- toxic CD WR yeah so Michael you don't take him at face value -- he says temporary homes. And offshore drilling is just happen. We're approaching over the Louisiana -- Making Boston smarter and we'll --
