Obama -Nothing to see here, the economy is fine. Move along

Wow. Good morning welcome to Monday. It's my driver showed WRKO beautiful day coming once again -- more on the coast though there's been a -- secrets. And that makes things a little different if -- on the program could be close to eighty degrees today -- Anywhere between seven and welcome all the other good good good weekend there's something. We -- disappointed. There's no question I'm disappoint what happened to the to the Celtics on Saturday but. It was not unexpected. And there is some feeling of relief to have it over is they're not. Does -- something about the stress of it and have -- hanging over your head that they might win and then you have to worry about it. It's kind of a relief on some level have an over that was the first thing I'd thought of when there's like three minutes left and I knew his door there's no chance system while. I can finally go back to sleep at night in normal life is back. But then again that would have been nice if they won the whole thing although. I will say this. It might be sweeter watching LeBron losing the finals two years in a row there watching the Celtics gets from -- Holland there. This year so there's a sub plot there's always another -- is always there's always a silver lining that's eyes swelled on -- -- an important news here from The Herald on Friday that we didn't discuss a group of international scientists. Is sounding a global alarm. Warning that population growth. Climate change and environmental destruction. Are pushing earth towards calamitous and irreversible. Biological changes. In a paper published in Friday's edition of the journal nature. 22 researchers from a variety of fields like in the human impact to global event's. The odds ago that caused mass extinction -- permanently altering Earth's biosphere. Here's a quote humans are now forcing. Another such transition like what happened eon ago with the potential to transform earth rapidly. -- -- irreversibly. Into a state unknown in human experience say the authors from. Around. The Americas and Europe. If current trends continue exploding the global population rapidly. Rising temperatures and the clearance of more than 40% of Earth's surface for urban development are agriculture. The planet could reach a tipping point they said. The net effects of war causing could actually be equivalent to a to an asteroid striking the are just one you know little little uplifting news we worry about basketball games. And scientists are worrying about the end of life as we know. They're seven billion people on the planet. And above but these predictions we've heard them before and they're all based on things continuing the way things are and they never continue the way things are due. Store are good news at RFK junior's wife in his divorce filings. Was abusing him. He must regret that he meant that fire analogy has -- her life. That's an interest in one teens college costs is shooting up in which we saw this with UMass will be talking about this this morning. The costs of education there is at some kind of critical moment coming it's really kind of exciting I mean I know this human struggle involved in the and that's regretful. There is great economic struggle going on but the result of that struggle is so many good things so this what happened a Wisconsin last week right what happened Wisconsin last week. Was the you know what hitting the fan so. Friday. The president comes out of makes his big blunder you know the president. He's been incredible. On his performance skills he's very sharp and I'll listen to on start to say the wrong thing any corrects himself I'm always a -- He caught himself again. But our Friday he didn't catch himself what's interesting is. Usually even if he doesn't catch himself during a statement. He catches himself immediately after he said it and then he starts to correct the misstatement that he made so that he can't really be. I bet you know have a a huge scandal blow up this thing blew up on Friday. Because he finished his remarks without realizing he'd said something so utterly stupid. Serious on Friday. As I said we've created. Four point three million jobs or -- 227. Months. Over 800000. Just this year alone. The private sector is doing fine. We're receiving weaknesses and our economy. Have to do with state and local government. Oftentimes. An issue cuts initiated by. -- governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help. That they have in the past from the federal government. All right so the big news there are Friday and over the weekend was the president saying the private sector. Is doing fine. Now what's interesting about this is I think -- reveals how the president views the economy because what does he say after. He says the private sector is doing fine he goes on to say the problem with the economy. Is what's going on in the states that the states. Aren't spending enough money and the reason they're not spending enough money. Is because. The federal government isn't giving them enough money. What we're seeing weaknesses and our economy. Have to do with state and local government. He thinks state and local government. Spending money that they got from the federal government that the federal government borrows from the Chinese. He thinks -- economy. This is a problem he just admitted don't hold twisted mind set in his brain it sounded totally nor hold him that's why didn't catch himself. On a normal day he catches his misstatements in his mind. This was not in this statement in his mind he's not deceiving us when he's telling us the economy in the states is doing that well because they're not. They're not getting enough money from the federal government that the -- -- from the Chinese. The question of course is we're now bar where our deficit this year's one point 31 point four trillion dollars. That's stimulus spending. That's 40% of the federal budget being overspent embargo from the Chinese. Isn't that enough stimulus. 40% of federal spending that's not enough for them they want more and they want tell us what is Obama won't tell us what it is. He won't tell us it's more debt. To sustain aid an economy that will not bounce back. He won't tell us it's more debt to keep his voters. Employed his voters being union workers public employee. Union workers at the state level so he wants more money to keep them working in election year of course he does. Look what just happened. Tuesday. In Wisconsin. And his answer is right with the Wisconsin there was a rebellion. -- against. These unaffordable. Costs. That are four -- taxpayers forced on states for such cities and towns by corrupt deals. With you with Google public employee unions. And there's ever belly and going on around the country. Finally voters are realizing it's not about the need to spend more money that's just been proven and Wisconsin. It's a boat a need to stop wasting. Our money. And yet in the very same week three days after a rebuke. So that Obama's socialist programs sleep these socialist mindset. He comes out and doubles down and doesn't even notice that he's making an absurd statement. And of course later in the day use force -- cracked and and and Mitt Romney came on pressured him to do that by responding. Rob good morning your NWR yo what's up rob. Good morning radio and doing -- weekend. I I most certainly did I am tired and can't wait to get back to work situation artwork -- it is. He wears you out the time -- you have to give back to the office. Give back to work where things are predictable and -- and in control of your life. Yeah I they're getting getting to the Puerto -- tribe and what -- what I what I find it such a vicious cycle -- publicly doesn't get is didn't federal money each picture injecting into the -- municipalities. And and and stay local -- -- only temporary and that they find out what little money -- topic or relate to people walk again is because these -- -- -- -- -- it was conscience. They have gotten their pensions also charged they get ms. Betty you know beyond the capability of the tax station people we're also these jobs are temporary. Every time there's initially kids keep going that way. By stimulating with Chinese money. Well I think you're a solar right however this president wants to get reelected. In this demonstrates I think again what what I've said before thank you rob to a call and that is that he's not representing the United States of America as as a single incident. He's not pursuing policies in the best venturesome country. He's pursuing policies in the best interest of his base his reelection will be based on. Identifying. All of -- by the of the people in the country who support him and making sure they go to vote he's -- can change any minds. He's not looking to convince the rest of the country look what a great leader I know that's why he's doing so in the very same week. That he got humiliated in Wisconsin what's he doing. He's out there. Doubling down on the notion that we need more investment. Kevin good morning -- -- -- Good morning John how are you doing well. Little confused 800 billion dollars what happened to -- -- state and local economies weren't they on the short list. Well like you know they got tons of money but like rob said it was very interest and DV CBO the Congressional Budget Office. Did its ran it's numbers before the stimulus happened and it said this will create about 3.2 3.5 million jobs I forget exactly how long and then they set the part that didn't get quoted was they said. When this stimulus money has been spent then we're gonna lose those 3.2 3.5 million jobs. Exactly what you're saying. Here. Well no it's really the it's been a couple of years now. And it was temporary spending. -- this is the thing you re raise a really good issue this is about. Whether stimulus works or not and whether -- in my mind stimulus only works in certain times in certain. Circumstances in this is not one of those circumstances which I think. The Democrats wouldn't dispute they would just say. We need to keep people working in order that the economy doesn't fall further and they're they're trying to have that you know to give them the benefit of the doubt they believe. That. They're trying to thread the needle on making sure that enough people stay working and that the economy doesn't go into some kind of tailspin. Let's hear that. Resident three million jobs -- last 227. Months. Over 800000. Just this year alone. The private sector is doing fine. We're we're seeing weaknesses in our economy. Have to do with state and local government. Oftentimes. An -- cuts initiated by. -- governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help. That they have in the past from the federal government. And who don't have the same kind of flexibility -- the federal government. -- in in dealing with. Your revenues coming -- So the president is arguing that the job of the federal government is to be over taxing Americans. So that well in the future borrowing from the Chinese and jumping up money in the states in order to keep the employment up high he's complaining. That the stakes are trying to balance. Their budgets and he considers this to be some sort of destructive activity so coming up we'll hear his. Correction of his own statement in the morning. He did this Friday afternoon and then Mitt Romney responds and oh my god man has his wonderful moment and he just has so much trouble getting the words out of his mouth. State journalists. So yeah I just having this conversation because. There's a viral video of Madonna player concert in instead it is stabbed in Turkey. -- she exposes. Her grass partially and that she's holding her. That she's holding her bride she's only wearing a bra. You know like she just went to Victoria's Secret. And she hold serve boom and drop her broadcasting and serial -- and Jose everybody in the -- back up and it takes up totally all the sex like. Okay where it's dead -- at a -- growth -- realizes that bad but. Before and here are some die anyway. So we're talking about Madonna and it's Madonna seven this big fight with lady guy got I'm saying it -- -- just gone. It's just I'm promoting each other they have a fight every day to try to keep themselves. In the news and that requires some thing that captures a new cycle. So could she made the point that you know twenty years ago she had the -- bush your members have bought. I remember the day goes called second spells out -- the most. Gross moronic thing it was just her in these poses like Phoenix came mini black. Plastic bag and you keep going to be fired off the shelf you've got to go get it from behind Ryan like like his penthouse of some yes. And there are ways it was signed a no pictures like her standing over -- mirror news. You know taken a picture result I just ridiculous. Liberals -- lives are -- the way they are. Anyway it's a battle says -- so there's nothing. Huge anymore about showing your -- it's not the people do it every day but you know Janet Jackson did it during the Super Bowl. So Madonna doing you a concert in Turkey what's the big deal. But it it's just creates a little hitter right up moments. A ripple in a little -- -- call -- a lot of stuff I thought I thought about a a a shows she becomes the center of attention for a moment. And that we're talking about this so called war -- -- with -- you -- with Lady Gaga. Because lady got her ripped off on her -- I'm saying that's the best thing that could happen to Madonna she needs to be made relevant again and lady got our Richard Roth is good they probably planned this thing. Anyway it's just like politics. Barack Obama is the Madonna of politics. Trying to find a way every -- to steal -- news cycle away from something that matters. Into getting everybody to talk about him. And it's really intriguing how similar these things are so on Friday I'm not saying this is a purpose and a stupid thing Obama set I think he's lost in himself let's reset the whole thing. And go back to his Friday morning comment where he says. That the private sector is doing just fine. As I said we've created. Four point three million jobs or less 227. Months. Over 800000. Just this year alone. The private sector is doing fine private sector's doing -- what's not really -- weaknesses and our economy. Weakness in the car have -- with state and local government state and local oftentimes that's our in his I'm so -- say initiated by. So state and local government is part of the economy. The government spending government employment. Use economic growth in his mind so he's saying the private sector is creating jobs the only problem or -- Is debt this state governments are cutting jobs and if only we could pay them give them money or -- from the Chinese and India and whomever. Who have all we can give them money to a point feeble economy would be appalled that he thinks he says now of course. He's a Smart guy. You would expect him not to believe this but he does not do a correction he doesn't hear himself sang something ludicrous. How is that possible later in the day there's so much sharper from Republicans and they realize in the White House he's got something so good. That he comes back out and retract the whole thing. Let's have by the next cut from Obama. It is. Absolutely clear the economy is not doing fine no reason at a press conference. That's why I spent yesterday the day before yesterday. This past week this past month and this -- you're talking about how we can make the economy strong. -- economy's not doing fine. Third to -- people out work. The housing market is still weeks. For many homes underwater. Very is join a correction. Why don't they realize that in the morning when he was making a stupid statement now let's get to -- So that's an important part of this conversation before we moved to minute I want you to hear -- and how old. -- just stick you know there's this big energy that gets created when you have the president actually. Make a gaffe for -- for the definition gas being you recall accidentally telling the truth. The president actually told the truth about what he believes in the morning that created a momentary political crisis he had to correct. Now Mitt Romney's job is to out there and really make you feel. Like this president is a dangerous. ED. And for anybody there are those words -- shocking that's about Mitt can't quite articulated in a way that has any power listening him. We're -- record number of home foreclosures. The president of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine. Is gonna go down in history. It's an extraordinary this calculation of misunderstanding. I -- president who's out of touch and we're gonna take back this country and get America working again. Any misunderstanding. That's the way that's the fiery language shed before we go to the had to pull that. And culture cut the cake walks and then we'll go to Bob. Ya wanna hear it listen and culture. Talk about the funny cut it starts off with her. Refusing the vice presidential. We're pretending that George Stephanopoulos. Was asking her if if she would accept the vice presidency if -- or are for two -- because that's what he'd just on -- Mike Huckabee. And then she goes on to push Chris Christie and let's go listen to her reasoning. For whining Chris Christie's VP. All know I have not and yeah. Yeah I would not accepted -- -- Only know for HHS secretary. You need. Up could still in less vice president and that is that what Romney is not he will not attack. Christine whale you need even if that comes in making a few mistakes along the I. He makes up any mistakes I mean it's like the alleged mistakes of Mitt Romney it can be taken out of context turn around -- mountains liberals being hysterical about it I don't think. I think Christie is a very Smart man on any -- an unmarried guys. A sort of ethnic appeal and it works in the south that works throughout the country and he has gone after the single biggest issue. Facing the country and the Republicans are all over the Tea Party is our announce your your parents the teachers the public sector unions. Tennessee that's a critical linkage first -- She she goes she says Chris Christie is the guy who could be out there are articulating with power. And emotion. The the the failings of Obama and how. Dangerous that statement he made was in the morning that this is how the president views the world and why is that so sick that at the same time. -- Wisconsin is doing a recall election because they cannot afford their standing up front facing the fact that they can no longer afford these cozy deals made for their public employee unions. With ridiculous on affordable pensions. And health care plans and health care support from the government we can't afford it anymore and the president is saying. We need to borrow more money from the Chinese. To give to the states so they don't have to layoff more of these overpaid workers. If you make their pay and benefits are appropriate. You don't have to laid them off. That's what -- that's why Wisconsin with such a big win because what Scott Walker started to do this stuff what happened. Now all of a sudden the cities and started -- started being able to pay their bills. When he made when he got his plan through a year plus ago. That's a -- that's -- -- comes the other Mitt Romney just can't go out there are articulated with any power -- are evacuating good morning. Well they'll probably -- morning thanks. They you know you don't admit that I Obama pretty -- deadly toxin in when he first started to say he was about to take two years but. He says there's no matter what let's not ethical I want an up. 27 months we gotta get those three months and there yes. You know that's the first thing but lower than that but. -- that he was being that precise while he was making such a dumb statement. Yeah I mean -- -- -- that he had to get it perfect so it sound like says the greatest benefit camp. You know what I did I really believe that these sound that is idea Arafat giving municipality and state governments. The resources -- speaks about everything you want to package up little printing presses -- state government so they can print the romantic. Well that's the that's that the model that Democrats are pursuing and eight what what's amazing about it is they keep pursuing it why everybody's worn out on a thank you bought which I think goes back to their business model. They're business models to divide the country up into pieces. And then only try to please their pieces and only campaign towards their pieces and more importantly. Only lead the country in a direction that satisfies their little segments so they work. For public employee unions they work for private sector unions they work for illegal immigrants. You know this is so that's why you see the ridiculous things happening like. -- lawsuits filed against the state of Arizona for its illegal immigration law which was a wonderful law in terms of doing exactly what it was supposed to do constitutionally make sure it didn't interfere with the federal government but when a state or city. Declares itself illegal friendly that's a real violation. Of the requirement. That the feds have dominance in in immigration law. And they don't do anything about that because it's about their base. It's about getting themselves reelected it's not about lead in the country. And that's pretty scary stuff now what other repercussions of all this year's. Rising. Fees rising tuition at state colleges and universities there is a huge crisis going on in this country for parents trying to pay for their kids' college. We will talk about that when we continue little news update coming your way and then we'll talk about of the -- fiber -- on 680 WRKO. Fouls we want Joseph. Talk radio -- -- personality. Home former show my dream winters from eleven to three hole here on Boston. They have the security don't -- RKO. 58 degrees a sunny day highs in the upper.
