Defund it. Yes felt this way I'm glad. I'm glad it's pick and picking up steam again after this Juan Williams incidents. 94%. Say yes and that and actually mr. Williams himself says yes yeah I know it's great. If it's supposed to be a fair and balanced radio network San as a result of that do you think that they should be funded now some members of congress are calling. For NPR to be defund it. You know what I love NPR. I think that NPR's an important institution I think oftentimes there. Better the quality of the journalism is fantastic. Site about attacking NPR but I do think this Gretchen. If they want to compete in the marketplace. Basic compete in the marketplace they don't need public funds I think that they should go -- if they think they're -- -- so great go out and sell the product. And what happens is. Too often and they wanted to make it out like you know what we are eight public jewel and we need the protection of the federal government we need federal funds that come through the member stations may pay for this product. Not since. They are on the federal role is what it is and they better admit it and step up if they wanna compete we know what without diversity of views without diversity of people. I wonder they would be so successful in the marketplace I think they are very much speaking to an elitist -- and they have become self all right just rang their attitudes and it's why they wanted to attack somebody like me I had no idea why the don't -- Hell hath no fury like a moan about scorer and -- never been through no fault. EC was on there for a long time and before that he worked for the Washington Post that's at bats could stop spoke his right. You -- -- thing about the thing about in PR Europe we provide resume uses your job yet through their wherever it's. Warner LA where what -- what are these services that you can't get anywhere else you know like it classical music you want classical music guess what. You get you can get satellite. Radio said there are even some mud there even some commercial it's it's classical station -- as many as they used to be but you get. Every kind of music they have it's on satellite radio if you want it you know. And diet as for the as for the quality TV programming. Oh what is BBC America you know what is -- this what am I shared stations. What I'm just telling you as CN BB this is this is BS. I talked about this when they were building this thing over here we will -- share our building now with with channel -- One of the big. Public TV outfit it's. And and I I kept saying why did this is like building the man you know line after World War I I believe in -- that ties. It is yeah -- the polish I. Because. What -- -- he -- need this kind of operation for one people all they need to get is a dish. Which is about NASA doesn't have as many satellite yeah that they have on throughout our it is a little this year it's about fifteen inches. Across. And that you would you put it up on your roof and then -- get any cut -- he -- stationed in the world. You don't need this this crap. And then they and then now they -- the -- bet now not used to have a jazz station on in the morning. And not a classical music station it and now you now both of the state not rip -- of radio now this is -- Boston. 2030 years ago you had -- you war was a jazz station and -- the GBH was a classical station not they both have these newscasts. What Palo. What felt like need to have more left wing knows. I -- get left wing -- anywhere I want to white a white media left windows with the English accent. 1877. I don't like we now than the mystery series very very very much. Were against him do you like the mystery series I like him very Sherlund 164. On satellite TV you know now I -- sorry -- don't. What do you may -- masterpiece mystery is really really -- it's Boston black key. I know Marleau being as how are. -- Agatha Christie your her Carol -- are. Are -- is -- I really really like it. You can I don't have to go way you can get all that stuff if it's not gonna if it's good it's not gonna go away or get picked up by BBC America I don't wanna have to pay for let let somebody else -- -- I don't care if it's 2%. You know that's only 2%. Okay they'll only 2%. And Mike taxes are legal only go one up 4%. I don't like that either skid used to I I don't want I don't wanna find these people. Yesterday this is NPR's crack up by Thomas slips and yesterday on Fox News it was rubio the williams' contract -- PR was due to expire within the calendar year. So the organization could've let him go -- no frost merely failing to Renault. Instead the organization chose to humiliated ten year employee by firing them on the floor. On the phone with a call from an underling who told Williams that decision was made by higher -- up. First releasing the moves to the public via Twitter and then in the most ham handed way possible impugning William C Hannity and remarks by the organization's president to a report bit. In Atlanta caught on video. His feelings that he expressed on Fox News -- really between him and his. I don't psychiatrist or his publicist or their take your -- What. Who says things like that I thought these were bad I thought this was a celebrating diversity crowd. This chronicle of -- suggests an organizational temper tantrum animated by a spirit of vengeance. May. Than the York post says national putrid radio. It's now a fireball offense the bureau Muslim terror attack or it is at least if you work at national public radio. One Williams found that out the hard way. Yesterday NPR CEO Vivian Schiller said Williams a respected liberal writer should -- kept his views between himself and his psychiatrist. Right it's quite easy. To worry about Islamist terror animations it's been under Jihad assault for years. It and they all say -- we just get a handful of funds from a government. NPR stalwart W. NYC radio for example got ten million in public funds almost a fifth of its revenues for 20082009. Speaking of funding here's a quote to NPR's likely real motives in trying to cast Williams's. -- listeners. We're profoundly sorry that this happened during fund -- we -- wrote a memo about Williams firing wink wink nudge nudge. 18774694322. I used to work for for and -- -- firm contract that by WGBH. Those guys have more money than god I used to work formed through. You know I couldn't believe it that bit of an internally even that order out from like the best Chinese restaurant in the it and that. The city. That they bring in the cases of of Heineken beer you know expensive wine with work yet not screw tops. And it and I never will we we whacked a lot of people with channel seven and -- that we never had going away parties like that. They they do I I agree edit and they had like two meant they were the last people in the city to have two man crews. And you know camera crews. This just they they weren't they've always been really flush with money. It's a 1877. Real class in PR fires Williams over the phone. A real -- a couple of calls here on this I enjoy this this this story. And you know awesome you'll say why are we talking about politics. This is politics. This this I I agree with. Let's -- on the him at the American -- this is AM this is a crack up by one of the liberal. Organs. You know I mean there was there was no reason to do this other than a fit of pique against. Against one of their guys who had the audacity to go on what Bill O'Reilly on fox. And say what everybody is thinking I dare say the board of directors of NPR feels the same way the one Williams does. Or least they thought about it they think about who's get on the plane Mike you're next with how -- cargo ahead Mike. Hey good afternoon near -- payment then I know you'd really -- on the radio I guess what that lift you up a little bit flippant. It's up by old time people wake up if about the funding and the guy that's been going -- wait -- decades but let there be -- up. He just got the valiant. What you hope to be at -- these people lot of Paula. Keep it -- -- -- if -- because you know that they believe that at -- and they'll be -- what we went a little. Keep your eyes focused on -- -- set -- will win eventually. I I I wanna win right now though Mike I can't take much more of this I -- I -- little I don't wanna listen to this crap they're still worshipping him out Obama as he go as he goes around the west. Trying to save these hideous people like Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid. -- bringing up up and you're right. And it and -- up a bit more I doubt it but you know puppet as we speak better and more people by the millions are waking up what's done. So what cannot -- they may. Think that's gonna happen. I hope so I'm pretty confident wryly that everything's going to be okay thanks thank you know Mike thanks. Thanks for traded cheer me up conservative Republican senator Jim -- of South Carolina has today announced plans to. To introduce legislation stripping. Federal funding from national public radio in the public broadcasting service. The move comes following the firing of NPR contributor one Williams. The firing prompted calls from Sarah -- Mike Huckabee and others on the right to strip in PR -- club funding and now they're meant beloved by the Tea Party movement despite his senate purchased taken up a call. Once again we find the only free speech liberal support is the speech they agree where if it's a true. It's so true. They give themselves away so easily -- they. David your next -- -- cargo ahead David. Jake got and I don't. I think I'm behind defining -- before you get to why I just cynical question how would all come a ball that. The government fund -- It will look within a program that somebody introduced -- I'm sure some of the you know they were trying to help out the arts after World War II people said you know there's trust does a budget stations that carry the -- cooperate. But you know down in down bluegrass country can't get classical music and we've got this FM band that no one's using and that's I think I think that's the way it went. I only eight. You know could modest -- obviously doesn't come by the wayside but I am flight continuing funding it should sit around about way. How well what we know these dirty neck lunatic liberal can espouse their ideas and lest we Itamar NPR because you know -- They just all survive and they'll be among us how he won't be able to adapt I think is you know there are private. -- or -- drink is all these non wedge shaped in Britain are -- eggs from JP. They're gonna contribute money got. There are commercials I mean how many people want air Bart I'm a couple bad I doubt one he had trapped there about a lesbian thing and aware. That's not a commercial that an avatar that brought the liberal agenda and -- thing about I'm. White. Already they've probably got to do what we have -- stations I mean they they yet. -- -- face -- if if they can't make a goal that article on commercial radio I'm sure that there are enough problems so that they could take over stationed on satellite radio right. Well look what I can what would it if America. And we've got to do what happened there. Yeah well no it didn't laughs but but now you -- you but you haven't -- satellite radio is different I mean like the heat they have like 200 channels. You don't need. Hard there. All all those big transmitters made out of steel one higher in the -- per. For that you would have needed for air America. Edit and nothing is now you got Wi-Fi were Wi-Fi radio was gonna be in the cars and very short order. And and every every one of these look little. Losers for can have their own little raid they can just and -- have a blog. They can have their own little radio strain you know. But I honestly Ali if you leave it on and that I I don't or NP. I but I know it's well it's a liberal. But if you if you leave it on and you have some news that -- he has one side which -- -- -- -- its its. Usually on the side -- right. When -- at the face well you want the opposite viewpoint go to went PI and that convention people how can hanging. The liberal left really is going to go back to. My car right wing it when I failed. Quick comment hopefully we'll try to trick. I don't I don't -- -- and listen to you all I could still tell you the last time I was forced to listen to NPR CNB and I were leaving Washington. And we were good trying to get a plane back door to. Boston so we would have to wait an hour in the airport in this guy took us and he was listening to NPR. Then I -- all iPod first first it was just my first I had ahead I feel my head I could throbbing. -- them and then my head begin to get bigger and I thought if we didn't get the national airport like the next two or three minutes my head was gonna explode. -- -- into this core app but I was hearing on national public radio. I I greeted well -- -- you know all out yet you can't -- -- politics and it goes back -- comment about about signing in and you know we'd all be -- I will be stayed because. What a great punching bag who we all are -- -- -- -- by the way but we'll see you want him gone I mean it is its fleet -- all around. Let me tell. You they got about a cut him off there 18774694322. I tell you I liked. You know Barney Barney is a good punching bag but. He's good punching bag if you don't live in his district what what about if you live in his district it's it's not really that. Helpful to you have a guy who's voting again he may he may will answer your letter he may return a phone call to yet. But ultimately. He's going to vote against your interest he's going to do everything he -- to cut the throat of everybody in the district who works for a living. And that's why it's a crazy but he's been elected all these years because you know good that parts of the -- parts of the district -- up up scale. Other parts of the district are working class down on down at Bristol county. But somehow -- but everybody goes to work in the morning just about in the district and why would they be voting for Barney Frank. -- soul was meant make in the point last night -- at one of these up fund -- I was at that. Massachusetts. Council votes very fast. But I we have all machines in Massachusetts. It's possible. We get -- votes we have people like small Barney Frank lost suppose. Barney Frank. Was was counted out by. 830 quarter to nine. 830 quarter and nine that would be by that would be 530 quarter six out on the West Coast. You have you have a few people like -- Francona. You know war maybe -- Jim McGovern united they don't know he is Richard -- another another ultra liberal who worships Fidel Castro. Might might start to depressed Paterno little -- among the moon bats on the West Coast. Views are calling congressional races you know war and real I mean in real. -- Herbert -- backs like Barney Frank you know -- if you can get rid of some of them it in my eight. Work for the Republicans in 1980 you know Jimmy Carter at the fool came out at 815 and a said these said it was over in conceded that he was that it he was. Just peeved and they lost. Probably a dozen or score of people in the house or representatives on the West Coast is the Democrats should stop going out. 18774694322. -- our car. Hello carved teenagers if you don't mind 432. Williams said he does not have a psychiatrist. Question why did -- are thought he was such an erratic character quote this didn't come up long ago. They're getting near the election and they're scared. Williams said the whole incident it incidents is making him rethink his previous beliefs about the left wing listen to -- so of this quote. Have always thought that the right wing where the ones who were inflexible and intolerant and now I'm coming to realize that the U orthodoxy and NPR. It's representing the left. Orthodoxy. Is our lawn but left side of the dial. Juan Williams calls for the government to the fund. NPR. They don't need public funds I think they should go up there they think their product is so great go out and sell -- product -- said they absolutely. Once they went and they somehow make it out there I am a big I mean it's unbelievable to me given the books that I've written things that I've done in my life. Now all of a sudden you know I'm a big hit. I mean all I said to Bill O'Reilly was bill we have to be careful about the kind of language -- things that we've say. In the public's clear given that you've had attacks on cab drivers in New York City. That pastor down in Florida trying to burn the correct I was counseling that in fact we have to protect the rights of Muslims in this guys who know Vivian -- apologize for -- -- about your psychiatrist but here are the standards. They said by the way I don't have a psychiatrist. I ask you haven't I actually don't apologize to me. Just for the record of George I don't have another record on the -- Well she said it was good news analyst may not take personal public positions on controversial issues. Doing so undermines their credibility. As analysts and then she goes on to say. NPR journalist should not expressed views and other venues they would not air in their role as an NPR journalist well again. This is something that would have set on NPR. It's not something it's not like I'm catering to a fox audience as opposed to any impair our audience I expressed a genuine feeling that I have a fight and in that situation. And let me say. This is not a situation where again you have someone who is working and can't as a journalist. And can't express an opinion because then the audience might lose trust -- credibility in what you have to say in terms of delivering your journalistic product. That's not the issue I'm able to discern exactly what a feeling is as opposed to what is eight. You know a public position and ability to report -- hear what others are saying so what do you think the issue is you do things just didn't. You know the fact that you working for fox became too much trouble to crack you know I think you know what this is this is one of the things in my life this -- such -- -- because I grew up basically -- a weapon to appear in New York City. You know and I always thought the right wing was the ones who were inflexible intolerant tolerant. And now I'm coming to realize that the orthodoxy and NPR if it's representing Nowak is just unbelievable. That you know -- and especially I think for me as a black man. To somehow you know say something that's out of the box. They find it very difficult and I think that's right -- I think they were looking for a reason to get rid of that they were uncomfortable with the idea that I was talking to the likes of Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity. Welcome to my world wanted channel to you know my brief career channel two I told you about in the globe put at day at the old 10 o'clock news. In the globe found out about it and they dale organized a boycott. Of contributions to channel two until they got rid of me and they wrote to me. So much trees so much for free speech. 18774694322. And then of course it's the what that was never the and then then they decided they had they had to have a -- The start going after Bolter the -- at 10 o'clock news. With Chris slide and and they. They love getting this liquor license they it was a big part of their fundraising they had to have a daily liquor license so they could -- boost all of -- high rollers that they brought them. -- you know one day liquor licenses course testicles -- legislature. So it was gonna get stopped. It was was born there won't forget the when they were pro license anymore it's gonna cost them a lot of though if they if they couldn't provide booze for there. Bearer. Benefactors. So somebody get the word and said you know you're you know you're one -- electoral law personal privilege Fletcher. It could still go throw. There's only one thing you'll have to do you have to take off the top -- and news. And it it. -- include 10 o'clock news. Channel so. Gutsy gutsy people. 18774694322. Dominic your -- -- powered card or had Dominic. But how it as much -- just like you dismissed the low one William. I think the federal funding should be kept -- There's nothing when it comes to noon then documentaries. There's not think that come close. The bolt and yard CVS. And I think if you're a list there is then I listened to your regularly and collect your show but. You look at -- so misinformed about the meltdown that have occurred. If they let these documentary. There would have been so much better so much more better informed about. Dominate right how but I trust an outfit that did get rid of one of their or best known people just because she says something that's not politically. Correct. -- how can I trust them to be impartial purveyors of the news. You're -- different question here. Why -- -- but it's the same you're you're telling me that these documentaries are good but there -- by the same group that fired Juan Williams are well. You have the judge can't stay on the map but. And is that such an outstanding job. On a regular contributor -- -- I think you don't without federal funding they should be able to big business. Let's let's say you have not been eliminated this because of this incident. Look you know what I I never I'm paying for some but I never watch you know well why don't -- your fight if I paid per purified by DirecTV which I do. I'm paying for something and that I'm paying for a lot of channels I never want to -- Jim. And -- documentaries.
