All right joining us now is well known -- author and political consultant Dick Morrison's you've seen him on enough fox -- many times in America received more all around. He is he's got his he's got his own web site does a bit more us dot com and you can get his side columns as whites columns I leaned against call -- For free by email go to that more spot comics. His newest book is outrage and old screwed excuse me decks excused re screwed as your newest book I apologize. So while. You -- you know while -- I've been I read -- -- -- last last week or so were a couple of weeks you've been saying the Romney was gonna pull away and that today there's a new poll out by showing that he's even further ahead by epic than you you thought you were once. -- it's it's Gallup I believe -- a -- Rasmussen 5050 it's 43. Yeah well that's bad right and that's likely voters is that the -- in the field as. Likely voters in the video is just doing registered voters and it's not Obama's strength in measuring but his weakness but he can't get it registered voters 2404. In the mountains -- and it's really illustrates the problem. I want to Babylon new book. Yesterday it's called group -- And the prevalence. No foreign countries are ripping us off. -- our economy. The leaders are hoping that particular. And not in the things talked about it and I just protect the important. Is. He -- The big writer Dick -- hold on I think -- have to like card to we call back we call -- skeptical -- back we've got to really terrible connection so well let's just put try to get that back on it in the meet them reap from as a his column near the election were -- today Mitt Romney would when channel landslide. And he says so when polls show Obama at 45% of the vote that really reflecting likely 5545%. Romney victory because you know one day in a presidential election where people dolby incumbent for better for worse. That he they. The incumbent usually picks a very few of the undecided vote so his his. The people who say they're form now that's that's what he's gonna get unless something happens. And he says Morse says Obama's crashing personal favorability reflects the backlash from his recent speeches. In substance their focus on class warfare in their bombastic demagogic style not playing well what the voters. They -- not seem in the least presidential nor does his message of attacking big whales in constructive voters distrust of big oil and proceed to get punished. But they do not see that repealing their tax breaks as a whale -- warring there. Pumps prices paupers increasing supply of oil for I mean. -- -- thing is when we we keep talking about the the days they don't get the -- -- subsidies Obama but they're not subsidies or deductions and if they don't have that deductions -- what. Here's where the gimmick gets it right into the price chemical opera -- That we got to back on the line -- we have a better connection this time. With it yeah that sounds better okay so the name of your book is ruled. How countries are ripping America often plundering our economy and our leaders helped them to go ahead. So what Obama is doing with Hillary and with the democratic controlled senate. Is they are negotiating. And -- and signing and taking -- station. -- whole series of foreign treaty. That will totally buying the United States and he growth our sovereignty. -- literally years for fears of the global. Combined actually coming to fruition. One that's coming up next month for ratification. Already kind of -- the law of the sea treaty. And it obliges the United States to -- one effect. Of -- gas and oil royalties. 28 you know from it realized from any oil well more than 200 miles offshore. Yeah -- an international sea -- authority. Which would then distributed to any country. Want an international scene about authority I don't like anything that's named an authority exit too much experience with them in Massachusetts but I can imagine an international seabed authority would be something beyond the imagining how bad it would be. They have a 160 members. And they would decide who get our oil -- And you're talking about a transfer in the first year that 23 billion dollars -- and will ultimately reach up to hundreds abated. And that treaty it's been signed and it's extending before the senate next month for ratification. And -- is leading the fight for. Well that's another thing how much more do you need to know right. And then the other one is called the international criminal court. With the US is the only country that's not a member. And Kerry and Obama and Hillary are pressing for rescue -- joined the criminal court. What this does is this court has -- defines things international crime called aggression. And aggression is going to war without the approval of the United Nations. So literally. We are giving China and Russia -- veto over the -- supports. And the president of the United States who goes to war without UN security -- -- purple. It's personally liable for a future under this crime in that. They're trying to do weren't they trying to war prosecute rehearsal of the moon bats were trying to prosecute. George Bush right during the I reckon during his his administration. What they get it right after he left office in 2010 extra stability Switzerland to receive an award. -- had canceled the trip because she was worried about being arrested. By the international criminal court. And then when he travelled to East Africa. The lefties were urging governments to arrest him as he traveled -- -- -- is literally -- the Russians and the Chinese should be jell -- or use of the military power. It Dick this is rather ironic that -- would be behind this because -- we just have a case here in Massachusetts idea and illegal alien killed two Americans in the city of Brockton and then fled back to -- Ecuador. And then he was quote on -- convicted in an Ecuadorian court. And so he's gonna get ten years for killing two Americans and and John Kerry is trying to get him. Sent back to the United States to serve his time actually can -- real sentence and of course -- just bombing their nose at the US. Saw -- so we obviously. But he wants to get -- we have no power to enforce our own laws but he wants to give that power. To some sort of international. Or court of he you know made up of god only knows who. And Andy -- city and the treaty says. That the court should be good judge of its own jurisdiction. Just click and we. -- -- -- Is the treaty if they're trying to -- -- Under the supremacy clause of our constitution. Assumed the same power as the constitutional amendment. And can only repealed by constitutional amendment or buy new treaty all of the signatory. So you're you're creating in that section of our sovereignty. But isn't thirty chances is gonna pass that I mean you know what a big gradient in. It it is. It is it's got. Lugar is for a tech study was defeated. McCain is for it. You've got a bunch of I know Republicans we joining virtually solid Democrat thing going for. And the whole Rupert is that we need to expand international economic development and I realize our commitment to and poverty. But you know sometimes the sometimes the senate has. Has come to its senses like the Kyoto treaty I mean that was that was rejected wasn't in 98 -- -- or something. It was never submitted that was -- -- non binding resolution telling them to go to L. Spectacular and that percent but up one of the things -- -- the patriot. Is that it's says that the -- bit authority. Shall take whatever measures Sudanese. To prevent maritime pollution. And maritime pollution can include thermal pollution. By excess carbon dioxide in the water. And it could be a backdoor way of the Kyoto accords to realize mandatory carbon reduction. But China China and India -- -- avarice. I by any of this this this mean we're at this market well. But we are. That's the point but it never you know abide by -- shall never buy it buy it. For peace treaties creating legally enforceable right in American courts. Or I'll give you another example. There is saying treaty called the rights of the child. Which obliges every nation to give children. Good education and health care and food shelter and all of David Cameron in Britain. Is cutting the welfare budget as part of this or -- -- program right he is currently being sued under the rights of the child treaty. Saying that it violates Britain's commitments under the treaty because cutting benefits for children. And one of the provisions of this treaty. He said rich nation -- -- poor nations meet there which is so big you literally could create a legal requirement to give foreign aid. -- if you're if you're right -- about the way the the election is going I mean now all of -- tested all this has to be -- stopped for a six more months right are certainly more months. But remember I -- assault does start treaty got as -- in the lame duck session. And Mike get my feeling is that there can be a white. For a senate Democrats. You're gonna see -- I believe and or more Republicans senators I knew gains. And that they'll think that lame -- senate and Jim history. Sort of war but if you're not require. You know -- and I don't know I understand that but shortly if I were Democrats senator was up in 2014 I I wouldn't wanna be tarred with this. Going going forward would -- -- -- know by -- by you know they figure it's two years look at start treaty which which it's terrible agreement. And that sail right through during the lame duck session. Nobody will vote for before just to senators are up but in -- declaration it's one of the treaty and I talk about Obi and these film the book. Called the small arms treaty. It prohibits the export a small arms to what the country. By individuals -- compass. Now of course most of the small arms and sent by governments try to let China -- But it creates -- and export authority. Designed to -- the export. And to require each country a planned to do. Which can easily. Require registration or even an outright ban -- and without congressional action. A portable peace treaty is to try the United States. To a global international framework which which circumvent congress and -- circumvent the power -- Ridiculous it others say there's -- visit this sub new book out the amateur by Ed -- at least argue about that Bill Clinton you're your former employer and Hillary Clinton you know well and you know if bill is still pushing her to run for -- -- he was pushing or do you want number one do you -- do you think he was really pushing -- to -- in the primaries this year do you believe that now. Else you would've gotten clobbered Obama has been very successful. At holding his Democratic Party base. Are you still get through 90% of their votes and Hillary would ever at any tracking digital are interesting to watch that Hillary is not campaigning for him. Will be your do you believe -- that the you know the other thing was she said why won't be tool to run in 2016. I mean do you doubt about it do you -- that's. Yeah I have changed -- that. -- -- OK so -- so that she she won't she spot this sounds like there will be. Yeah you know adverse consequences of any of these treaties are signed and feel what the answer Orman 2016 right. But Al you're you're looking at the general election in the primer. With people. The historical wonderful trading. So they commit the United States sharing the wealth of re distributing it with other countries. They commit that's of the rule of law and I am so unilateral military action. They make the United States share its wealth with other countries and global poverty. The is a wonderful wonderful treaty and they accomplish gun control which you can never get tested in the US. Do we need to -- mechanism. That's the point what they're planning secure -- export the power of the congress the president. Through these -- Sounds like it would lead to what other wipe out of Democrats in 2014 no matter how Mitt Romney in a Republican congress -- Well you have to see -- what happens with the economy of a two -- license but the point is we have to stop this stuff. Because bear in mind once you sign these treaties. You cannot assign them. Under the supremacy clause of the constitution. These treaties have the force of constitutional law. The Massachusetts legislature that New York the US congress. President cannot opt out of them can not take actions that very from the -- legally enforceable in American -- And they cannot be changed except by an amendment or by another tree. This is we're -- -- Dick Morris he's the author of the new books rude how foreign countries are ripping America off from plundering our economy and our leaders helped him do it. It let me ask you something if you -- if if you were advising Barack Obama and -- you know these these poll -- -- these polls are terrible. That what happened Tuesday Wednesday. Was -- -- disaster. For the Democrats. What what went to advise him to do -- -- it -- -- pull out of this tailspin. Well -- now it's too late what I would have advised is what I did advise Bill Clinton's it would need to do and it's succeeded. I've moved to the center that now what he is just absolutely -- it is gonna go off the deep bend nonetheless. I'm gonna pray that he's able to get his vote out and maximize is followed by a combination of once -- 110%. Of the vote -- percent of his based -- percent voter for -- which is facing its its goals on. But he's got no chance this thing is going to be an unbelievable. Incredible. Wiped out. Hope you're right. You're your positive. I'm positive guarantee it but that's about Scott Brown is to get I mean you -- you know what Elizabeth -- got these problems with India and blood. Graham got a good shot that's the only one I'm a little worried. This is not situations that. But I think this step is Erving Warren badly in. And I think he that a message you know do that the problem was -- -- and for example you had tremendous. Partnership. In Ohio Pennsylvania. Wisconsin. Michigan. But she didn't have much in Massachusetts or New York. Or security. Or California. The bi coastal phenomenons -- you race that and I'm a little worried that that that that would happen this year. I mean I know we get to carry Ohio and Michigan and -- confident Florida and all of those states Virginia North Carolina and Mexico. Nevada. But I don't think we can carry Washington. Or -- York or futures. So I'm worried that. It's magnetic carry over to camp. But you know what Obama trying to do with these treaties and to make the election academic. Yeah well. Ya ya ya I know that but he don't usually. He's -- and I mean what actual I mean isn't this a is this something that the Republican candidates. Can use against these assay which are in the market into at all after the -- -- That this is going to be a surprise right after the election. Who could of talked about the start treaty in which we can before an election in the living soul. Well no talk about apartments. In 2000 writes that's another epidemic that was another rough post election surprise here. Who do you think though when -- who -- -- it would be mets' best running mate that the Morse. I rubio no question even -- I stream. Yet there's no question because rubio patrol like I I support among. What he's basically saying is that he I've been here for many years in the U and we weren't you weren't born -- it will port here. As it's clear that you didn't your school and all of that. -- that you can stay. I think that's appropriate but I think that rubio. Really guarantee Florida but also the long term issue here is the Latino vote. And I think he can resist in very good shot. What would have been telling I think -- will be solutions in the immigration issue in the first couple months of the Romney president. And I think what it will be is that Democrats won the Latino is to work answer devote. But not work yeah it is good -- Republicans want them to work. That -- is -- not vote yes and I think the what's gonna happen is that Republicans will pass their plan. Would be amnesty. For working. But not for citizenship and voting. So you can stay here you can be guest worker you won't have thrown out you pay your taxes -- gonna get minimum wage again against. There -- benefits. But it has nothing to do with the citizenship track that he got to go to the back of the line and I think that same formula that I think -- work. 1877469432. To -- you take your call or two before the bottom of the hour Paul your next with Howie Carr and Dick Morris the author of the new books rude health foreign countries are ripping America off and plundering our economy and our leadership. Leaders helped them to go ahead Paul. -- -- Just so that we haven't talked about it can be closer North Carolina I'm in North Carolina. And I looked at yet 2008 numbers. 1580000. Vote Democrat. In 2012969. Voted Democrat. Second negative of 621. Battle. About -- voted for the gay gay rights amendment. I'll contact I'm talking about the -- primary yet for I I credit that. I think there was no chance that Obama's secretary North Carolina certainly not. After voted 6139. Against gay marriage in the next stay indoors. But the way you have to read these polls to first you have to ask inaudible. Likely voters are registered at the first question. Graduation is the only one that's doing -- vote. Too expensive for the other firms. And secondly you have to realize that the undecided vote always always away. Goes against the incumbent. So when you see all the shows Obama beating Romney in this state 45 to 43. In fact -- he's winning 55. But -- look at these numbers. -- -- the big tour Dick is the army he's gonna like Obama won't -- We you'll get the national polls Obama will carry California partly by a 1000002 million votes right but I mean it's. But it did that doesn't really matter when you're looking at the Electoral College right. Yeah on the other hand I wouldn't have been so quick to say it will be a landslide in California. So chariot but Gallup shows his job approval dropping from 54%. -- fifty point 5%. Between 2002011. And that's based on. Tens of thousands of interviews in California. So I'm not sure that you know isn't done but I don't think it'll BJ ended march. Based on the call Paul -- your next with how we car and Dick Moore scored had gone. And it -- listen it's going to be an estimate that the only issue. That Obama hasn't -- distractions. And as long as 19 avoid getting blocked down in. Right he'll be essentially a pretty good shape. You're completely right every beat the big reason that rom that Obama -- this contraception in step with the Catholic Church. This is endorsing gay marriage now. Is because he wants distractions. He wants to talk about you know -- carbonneau said it's the economy stupid it's anything but -- sounds. Few days asks. The other -- it's like what we appreciate him as very very intelligent people around them. But I it appears communities arrogant enough to surround himself was set up -- chance that -- -- whatever he says so he's. Grown to make mistakes. That they don't realize the general public is not buying into some of these distract yes I did it takes enact the kind of a colossal stupidity. To endorse gay marriage. Then announce that you made -- million dollars do we know donation. And then fly to Hollywood and do any event would be George Clooney's. That gets you fifteen million dollars if there's anything that would incense middle America. It's that kind of big lead by coastal. You know it's -- What's what the anger to deck I mean anger doesn't work on TV war whatever I don't. What I found that ravaged back or Obama fascinated that you say it is in all the polling I've looked that his personal -- ability. Which used to be fifteen or twenty points above his job approval now is lower -- his job for. And it's because of the platforms. Wouldn't using. Yet just doesn't yet beaten people don't want an angry person in the living room and blankets that's mister Marshal Cohen said and it's true. One more column what to go pick Josh you're next with Howie -- and Dick -- score ahead Josh. I picked how can congress discourage American employers from sending American jobs to other countries. Well personable. You got to understand that most of time when you talk about that. If you don't send American jobs to other countries you lose the American job. Romney for example would mean capital of the company. Where he tried to make ago he kept investing money in it. We -- it will be its other sites in the US. Ultimately the only way to save the company would take one of its suppliers. And instead of getting its domestic together from abroad. That blow it the -- after -- the company and saved the jobs in the United States. You it was two point adjust to the fact that your in the global market. And the concession to bring jobs or or that makes a certain -- sent a lot of the I wanted to get story -- still and so. The United States invented the video cassette recorder. Is we 100000 people who were employed making. And the Japanese figured they'd do better cheaper and faster than we. We've lost 200000 job we didn't protect them we've lost. So two billion people in the world got video cassette record. Whitman -- -- but nobody speaks Japanese. So that Hollywood entertainment industry went from 500000. Workers to five million. Making movies that you could -- on the Japanese CEO. That's -- world trade works. But that's a gruesome story a bit more we appreciate to be a witness the title of your new book -- -- -- -- -- thank -- but you're right off from our website we've got a link to Amazon I expect we appreciate you being with us we'll keep -- about the the national campaign we come back. 18774694322. On how we are.
