We've been talking about Mitt Romney's VP list. Condi Rice is now on that list very short list she's now emerged as the front runner as of now. To be Mitt Romney's running mate. And if you wanna know walk. How being a vice presidential running mate who is effective who is articulate who is passionate. Who brings a lot to the table is so important. Look at how they are now trying to vilify and smear Mitt Romney. It is almost laughable. If it wasn't so tragic. The Democrats. The Obama campaign. Seem now that the economic recovery has stalled. Seeing now that inflation is going up. Seeing now that many Americans having look at the latest job report see unemployment at eight point 2%. 80000 jobs created in June that's not even enough to take care of the new people coming into the workforce. They see that country is going backwards. Obama is flailing and in trouble. And so the only way. Obama can win and this is -- democratic operatives and strategists have confessed and admitted to me. Is he must win the African American vote no Latino vote and a minority vote. In overwhelming numbers the way he did in 2008. And here. And yet. There is one big difference between now and 2008. The hope and change is gone. If you remember. All of that aspirations that people had at the time. All of the people swooning and falling over Obama. This screaming the yelling. The hysteria the big crowds. Everybody projecting up on him like a blank slate. All of their aspirations and ambitions for the country. God is gone. The liberal savior. The liberal messiah. The man who would part the seas. Bring down the ocean levels. Bring peace to the world. And the dreaded bush years. Those gays are all over. He now has a record. And it is one of unmitigated. Failure any disaster. And so now. African Americans seeing the latest jobs report fourteen point 4%. Unemployment in the African American community. If you're young black man it's 40%. That's 40. My friends that's Bolivia. That's Argentina. -- her Third World number it's. He has failed the African American community he has failed to Latino community he has failed minority of these failed every other American. So the only way the Democrats can win now to get those kinds of numbers. Is to whip up racial hysteria now it's no longer open change. Now it's fear and dread. Now it's fear mongering. And so now. You have the Democrats trying to paint Republicans but especially Romney as the second coming of George Wallace. As if this man is somehow a closet member political klux -- And so Mitt Romney. Gross to the NAACP. On Wednesday. Now this is a key point. I'd follow a lot of Mitt Romney's speeches I have to it's part of my job. He has a boilerplate. Standard stump speech. Frankly I wish she would change -- I wish you have more speeches. I wish she put more confident the way the real honest with you is just a laundry list of what he's gonna do but let that go that's for another discussion another time. The point is he gives the same speech. And when he gets to a certain point in the speech. He says it's. We have to get rid or eliminate unnecessary. Programs. Such as obamacare. It's in every speech. So he says this. In front of the NAACP. He's originally said every nonessential expensive program I can find. That includes obamacare and I'm gonna work to reform and save. -- Now the crowd start to blink. So -- gone up and started jeering. -- One. Because many African Americans have been sold a false bill of goods they have been told by Obama and the Obama administration. But they're -- gonna get free health care that they're gonna get universal. Healthcare top quality healthcare. Free healthcare. But not just free ought to take care of everything. You coming you see a doctor right away best health care in the world for free. I'm not telling them the truth. You're getting at long lines you're gonna get rationing. You have a doctor shortage. You're gonna be shafted. No one tells them if Obama care was so good for you. Why is it doesn't apply to members of congress. Why -- and apply to the Obama administration. To the president to his family. To the political corporate elite in America the government a league all these pop -- government bureaucrats. Known on all they get that keep our gold plated health care plants. Not all they don't have to switch over to obamacare. You would mean the American people were gonna be the lobsters in the pot. We're gonna be the ones in those long waiting line it's. Hoping to get to see a specialist or a doctor if we get sick we're gonna be left with a -- in the bill not them but let all that adult. They have been told normal it's free healthcare and fantastic health care and the second reason why they moved. And the more important reason. Is because they have been told. That if you use the term or bomb might care. Into derogatory. It's insulting. To the president of the United States you should use the official term the Affordable Care Act. So now. The line is if you use Obama care. It's racist it's cold for racism. For insulting to black president of the United States. By putting his personal putting his personal blame on the healthcare bill it's been meaning the president to do that. And so. The Democrats. Backed by their allies in the liberal media. Now check this sound you wanna talk about crazy conspiracy theories you want talk about almost borderline insanity. He argument is now being me. And -- mentor I'm somewhat because it's so ridiculous that Mitt Romney. Went to the NAACP. Not to give a speech. Not to present himself as the president of all Americans. Not to tell everybody here's what I'm gonna do and why I'm gonna do it -- on on all he went very deliberately. Apparently part of a conspiracy. To get bull and why do you wanna get moved. Because then you can appeal to racists. In America I kid you not that's the line so they -- -- they got together his advisors they submit. Or how do we get the racist vote in America. And let's gold to the NAACP. OK okay I hear you got got got. And I'm that is Sam the repeal obamacare. And the and the -- -- Boeing mean not once not wise but it's gotta be down three times during the speech okay. And then. I'm on -- shoulder is in many older people all over the country and the gonna -- getting -- at the NAACP. And then it raises a little love me. And I'm gonna get there is a vote meant that's a genius -- genius that's a brilliant idea this is what the Democrats are now battling you think I'm. It was a calculated move on his part to get food at that NAACP convention. That's the -- Nancy Pelosi House Minority Leader she's asked by Bloomberg News by the anchor. What did you make a Mitt Romney speech crisp play that clip again -- Well it was a calculated move on his part to get food at that NAACP convention. To calculated move to get boot. Okay why is it a calculated -- -- -- had blue -- is why -- -- Mitt Romney wanna get bode well. I watch MS slugged BC I call it North Korean television. For laughs really I forgot Comedy Central I'm going you wanna allow. Gore MS slug BC or MSNBC. I'm I don't know if they believe it. When they're saying ordered his reading what's put in front of them but the stuff that comes out of there I'm telling you it's like watching Pyongyang. Or Havana. Or a former. Soviet television in the 1980s I don't Moscow it is it is in insist the propaganda is unbelievable. Here is -- when he Laura Larry old bottle the lunatic -- it's a lot -- Lawrence O'Donnell. He is now interviewing a liberal writer columnist by the name of gold beat Taylor. This so he's he's got Taylor there in front of how many years -- Larry I -- you couldn't make this up mad dog loaning Larry. Saying -- on home. This was all about appealing to southern racists yeah. Doctor -- when you know the southern strategy that Republicans have used since Nixon and an MB and Broussard a little bit before that. Where they're there is actually pay you pay and almost always works sometimes. Appeal to racial and racist. Voting. -- it's it's overt they want appeal Theresa voting. And Edmund doing this now since Nixon since 1968. You know if you oppose affirmative action are racist. You Bozell welfare your racist. If you oppose racial quotas your racist. If you oppose illegal immigration your racist that's the line abatement taking now can find. So there's been -- southern strategy since Nixon and they wanna appeal overtly to -- racists. How big Mitt Romney appeal overtly racist Louis Larry Chris go. Tell me goalie if I'm being too cynical to think. But the Romney campaign actually won in that room strategy that Republicans have used since Nixon and an -- and Broussard a little bit before that. Where they're there is actually a pay and almost always works sometimes. Appeal to racial and racists voting. And tell me goalie if I'm being too cynical to think. But the Romney campaign actually won in that room today with the hope. Of getting booed at least three times because they want the video of their candidate. Being booed by the NAACP. To play in certain racist precincts where that will actually help. These two guys who do you excuse -- Woody Allen it's -- guzzlers. I -- you think about it's so they gotta get booed not once but at least three times had to reboot three times. And then we can play that video we just saved their races precincts across America. Melamine has given us. But I just think about it if you're saying take all the people are saying you have to be saying not what I'm not forget the -- mental asylum. People outside the mental asylum right now you're in -- car travel wherever you work work. If you're already a racist. And you're already a member of the Ku Klux -- you think you're gonna vote for Barack Obama. I mean the out the go to the end double ACP NB -- three times the -- All OK okay -- I'm mumbo for ma'am ma'am ma'am and Romney and now I'm a remote border may now be double and three time that the N double ice they pay. All again and now he's my man man now dug -- remember across well he's my my. I -- what planet are these people living on. Parents saying but that's not the point. The point is they are trying to paint Mitt Romney as a racist. And unless Mitt Romney begins to fight back. And refute these charges. It's gonna work. They're gonna convince African Americans they're gonna convince Filipino community. That Mitt Romney is the second coming of George Wallace. But this guy's gonna -- segregation. -- it's unbelievable. And so my question to you is a very simple one. Is -- using the term obamacare. Racist. Was this plan do you think on the part of Mitt Romney to get booed at the NAACP. Was this part of some grand conspiracy. To appeal to southern racists and a big issue. Do you think the Democrats by constantly playing the race. Hard will it work in November. Will it galvanize enough people to put Obama all over the pop 617. 20666868. Will the race card work -- wanna hear from you know this is Jeff corner. Sitting in for Michelle make feet on the Michelle make -- show. Welcome back to the Michelle -- show this is Jeff -- from The Washington Times. Liberalism is worst nightmare. Sitting in for Michelle makes the for all of you out there expecting to hear Michelle don't worry she will be on the air leader today filling in for Howie -- at 3 o'clock. 6172666868. If you want to part of the conversation. Lou thanks for holding your on the Michelle McPhee show. Occupy -- power it then it's my pleasure how are you -- Don't want 1 and at 1 o'clock oracle oracle -- that's. I think -- really rate from. We are here. I think that one article for what are you at the BP can. What if there is because. It kind of confirms. The fact or at least the suspicions. Or the ball pattern that Mitt Romney. It just really is not for these middle class war or -- -- don't care about the report. All because we look at the hard -- but weren't -- I'll be able opposite big bouquet Afflalo who we're gonna cut their tax rate and there are without their. -- but it is state. And the capital gains in the given the richest 1% who already taking in about what our American. And that and that's what they're gonna get the -- -- Bob Bob what grant you. Often put the burden of the planet basically would be. Going to be more about the streak in the required because that would -- their biggest tax rate which is deduction for all -- And the elderly who are gonna see their medical care out -- -- coverage to affect. We immediately. And just diplomat. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- However. This should you wore a two pronged effort while we're content something which -- it's warm or revenue -- considered when bear very well. Okay who let me ask you this do you work for the Democratic Party. Or are you a Democratic Party operative. Because I'm telling you you're giving me exile I swear I get their talking points every day in my inbox and that's exactly they're talking points or an arm. It's a complete line I'll tell you why it's a law. Number one what number one -- -- Whitman can look the other explained he would Paul Ryan proposes. It is yes he wants tax cuts he wants to lower rates but but well first of all if you cut taxes you raise revenue is the opposite to -- You cut taxes you never lower revenue -- raise revenue because you generate economic growth. But -- -- a minority rhetoric -- no no no it doesn't its supply. To your completely wrong everything you're whole premise is wrong but -- -- already -- don't let me get to the heart of the issue. The heart of the issue is this. If you cut taxes for everybody and you lower their rates and you get rid of all the exemptions and loopholes. This was proven by Obama's own commission. You raise revenue. So the issue is not whether you care -- raising revenue or not cold raw in General Re Corp. None onto the government you raise revenue you lowered taxes you flatten it backs called you get rid of all the exemptions. Radler you will go up. So we Carl -- raising revenue because I'll tell you why because now they can't shelter their money all the exemptions you -- I've been taken out so yeah. Look what look so I'm I'm explaining to you so all right and planned. Will essentially raise revenue but the problem in America is this. Yes. Under Reagan get revenue go up or down genius. In 88. -- -- From 1981. To 1989. The eight years that Reagan was in power -- revenue cooperatively gold down. It went I would just get up -- revenue went up. It's a fact look it up. You -- -- understand that you want except that when the Republican congress implement the tax cuts in the 1990s. Did revenue goal opera did -- go down into one up. Even George Bush after 2003. When he read that when he won -- -- has. Revenue went up so your your entire economic model is false. Don't come a month old daughter come on our show and read to me your democratic talking points because you're wrong. Body have a nice day. That's what I mean look here there. The yelling to -- in the insulting you can't handle facts. So if you really care about raising revenue lower the tax rate. Get rid of the exemptions and the -- polls everybody says all the corporations get away with murder while they want. Let him play a -- a flat tax. That's it no exemptions no loopholes small car -- mom -- And that's the other thing that these Democrats don't understand. It's like talking to a brick wall you honestly think America is the only place in the world to do business are you about my. So you you soak for church find you soak the -- you feel good about yourself you pound your chest. What do you think money goes where you think it's been going under Obama. It goes to London it goes to Singapore it goes to China it goes to Hong Kong. The Chinese that Communists have lower tax rates than we do you think they're stupid that's why there if they're reading our economic crunch. So you cut spending. You rain and reform entitlements. And you Laura that the tax rates and reform the pax called to generate more revenue it's really very simple. The Reagan economic model worked in the 1980s. In fact it worked under the 1960s when John Kennedy it worked under the Clinton years and in 1990s. It can work again. But tax and spend that Europe and look at the predicament -- tax and spend at bats Obama. We've had that for three and a half years. So if demand if spending and spending and government spending we have spent nearly five trillion dollars. I trillion dollars just from the stimulus right off the pop why hasn't it worked. No they want more spending. Einstein said the definition of insanity. Is to do the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results. These liberals aren't saying. These Obama liberals aren't saying. So more deficits more debt more spending. Another entitlement a multi trillion dollar entitlement we can in the papers Social Security we can debate from Medicare we can debate for Medicaid are going broke lets out another one obamacare sure what well. As the French say Louisiana let's say live bald don't -- let the good times roll and then. We paid the tab. While I'm sorry. I'm not going to be grace I'm not gonna be some poured reach mark waiting in line to superstore in my in my bank account I'm sorry. That's not my future not for me -- my children. Don thanks for holding -- on the Michelle McPhee show. Yeah actually -- I -- I -- pure. I'm not what what are great -- you have today expect privileged to -- you know I've been -- and might bottle up the last. Eight at ten minute -- Wonderful Georgia -- thank you don't. Yeah I yeah I called tour I I'd like condi. Always -- where I am extremely conservative. And I won't like -- and -- can. -- like will be all but every time you speak on something and I get it can't ignore. Well listen to her are you like -- has one great warm. She can say it is I think he Romney can't say what eighty agent -- and -- that you'll get people excited aren't quite. As my -- share -- -- but yeah right Carl Colby and there was a lady called them early so. Instead it's something I do you think about I walked her in the driver's seat. Intriguing goes along and I don't think anybody else that -- on. I think now you hit you hit the nail on the head I think this is her singular. I think our quality that she -- above all our other qualities and I known as bright as. The Romney camp has been telling me this. Of all the VP candidate and this destroy have to concede that argument. She is ready to be president should something happen on day two. You know I am god forbid on my you know wish anybody ill but Rami comes into the Oval Office -- that a heart attack she could fill in right away. I can't say that in all honesty about Paul Ryan look I think he'd be fine. But you know none of them have the executive. Experience. That it Condoleezza Rice she ran the State Department she was national security advisor she was bush is essentially right hand womanizing man which is a woman. For over eight years so clearly she would have the kind of executive leadership. That a -- rubio wouldn't have that a Rob Portman wouldn't have that a Tim while I mean. That that are Ryan wouldn't have Christie however has been governor of New Jersey for a couple years so he does have some kind of executive experience. Look I'm getting texts. From my sister in law and all you're gonna say well what what's the big deal about my sister in law my sister in law if it's possible. He took a right of me OK she's like -- believe it or not she's the right Winger in the family. She says comedian attacks she's been listening to the show she said all my instinct screen condi. She would elevate the Romney campaign and add excitement so look I gotta tell you the truth I'm still Paul Ryan -- I don't get me wrong he picks -- -- I'm animal fur are ominous support Rummy condi to -- anybody did double. Is better than Barack Obama at this point yeah right -- But I'll tell you this I'm still Paul Ryan guy. But look I got I'm not gonna lie you have so many people are telling me condi is exciting day like condi look you know -- god bless you. One yeah. Gentlemen thank you -- -- one more pages that another reason I like her is she -- it needs at I'd like Dick Cheney jokes -- get it but all over the place that's our life. All you're right -- your right in fact he admitted that she was his most formidable component within the Bush Administration. Look she's got a lot of good qualities. I don't think she's a conservative. I'd like a conservative I wanna conservative. And I want somebody who I think can really address the fiscal economic. I doom that were about to face that's why I prefer Paul Ryan that's wire prefer Chris Christie but look a mock penalize you. Jeff corners not gonna be depressed -- Condi Rice has chosen by Mitt Romney. I think they're better but I think Condi Rice is certainly OK in my book. I just think to be honest with you. I know would like my fire. Chris Christie or Paul Ryan gets Jeff corners juices flowing condi she leaves me a bit cold. 617. 2666868. What say you the people of Boston and the Greater Boston Massachusetts area. Jeff corner sitting in for Michelle make the on the Michelle make the show. Welcome back to the Michelle makes the show this is Jeff Connor. From -- Washington times. Sitting in for Michelle make feet 6172666868. If you wanna join the conversation. May show will be on today. Filling in for how weak car at 3 o'clock from three idol seven. So if you wanna listen to Michelle it is got to wait about another 21 half hours. Mark thanks for holding your on the Michelle -- show. -- -- Mark I think it's a horrible idea for Romney to. Selects Condoleezza Rice says the vice presidential running mate I think it's. Big -- I think it's a bad idea. They -- to choose any relic from the Bush Administration. And furthermore at this moment she has a lot of explaining to do we notion doesn't come up to the plate without any baggage of her own. She was national security advisor at a time when this country suffered its worst national security breach in history. You walk you know you Romney making all of this belly who. About his business experience. -- ability to take on the top issues because he has all the experience in the in the commercial world. What kind of real world experience to Condoleezza Rice that she's an academic. Mark welcome market -- I think you make some very good points she does have government experience she did serve under two terms to be fair to her. But no you're like -- look. The thing I don't like about the 9/11 charge. Is let's be candid. Nobody saw that when -- -- I I I can't believe that a bunch of people living in caves. Wearing towels around their heads were able to thwart a multi billion dollar defense system. Without people in government having an inkling that something was about to take. And Arnold they knew they were getting intelligence report I -- You don't know -- that darn now I understand but mark. You get a lot of intelligence reports that you don't have any specific knowledge in other words and whatever you know. She wise but no look I mean I'm mark I don't think it's fair to blame her for 9/11. That I think is too much of her reach what I think you are right. Blaming her for 9/11 -- that. You know you should have done she should have been more proactive. I mean mark where I think you're right on -- this and she's gonna get hard for this. The bush foreign policy contrary to what many people think has been a disaster it was not as effective as we thought it once a great. At the heart of it was the freedom agenda. And what you're seeing is that freedom agenda is now bearing. The fruits. Of islamists taking over power the argument that bush and condi and Rumsfeld and Cheney made. All long frankly with Hillary and John Kerry there wasn't just the Republicans. Many of them made this argument is been the mantra of our state department for the last fifteen years. If you spread democracy across the Middle East it will make the world the region and America safer well. -- as they choose democratically people that we'd like well. But the point is this mark they got democracy in Libya. The islamists are about to come to power I got democracy in Tunisia the islamists are -- power. They got everything they wanted to -- turned out. Exactly they got democracy in Egypt we overthrew our ally Mubarak as he was supposedly a dictator and now we have the Muslim Brotherhood in Iraq. The elections there brought -- Iranian islamists to power. We essentially fought and dog any -- Four for free wrong to grow its sphere of influence he rock is now we province of Iran. So this freedom agenda that they were touting for the last six -- seven years of their administration. Has blown up in our face. We have unleash the forces of radical Islam because in that part of the world yes they believe in one man one vote. One time. That's the key they wanna comment the power to spread sure real law. Two weeks created global Kelly's fate and to destroy what they called a little Satan Israel and the great Satan America. So what I'd like to ask people all these sort of abortion neo cons. You told us that spreading democracy and sacrificing American blood and treasure was gonna make us safer and instead. The very enemies that we're supposed to be fighting against have now come to power on the box of democracy. Geez Geoff you're beginning to sound a little bit like on par you've got to watch himself ticket though. I got the Ron Paul is right on a lot of issues I don't agree with him on everything but I think he's right -- a lot of issues. Look at getting back to Condoleezza Rice has one other thing too can you honestly. Think of one black person who voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Point changes mindful for -- solely based on the fact that Condoleezza Rice is his running mate now. It's not a bad -- -- advising this undated. Well those -- the Boston voice. That's Eric -- and Strom that's all these guys that were with him when he was governor of Massachusetts and I'm telling you. And gave us as governor of Massachusetts I'm a resident of Massachusetts decriminalizing. Me. Well our look around -- care. I mean Romney care was the basis for obamacare look mark I don't want to look. I will vote for Romney over Obama walk because I believe he's the lesser of two evils I think in many ways Obama is systematically destroying this country. But I'm not gonna why do you normally be very candid with -- out there. Romney was not that great -- governor of Massachusetts. And in particular. Romney care serve does the blueprint for obamacare can deny it all we want actually but his advisors I saw them on Capitol Hill I saw them in the White House. They were contacting Romney's old by advisors Romney's advisors gave input on obamacare. So that's why he can't attack obamacare. That's why he can't rip it apart because he's complicit. And that's the problem with Romney's campaign it's -- and a half hearted measly mouth campaign. And now he thinks he's gonna pull off this PR stunt. With Condi Rice. And suddenly all progress at all look at him. He's got a black woman now without an academic background all suddenly now it's gonna be Romney's election to win. No he has the fight it he asked to wage it. He asked the one it and you estimate the issues clearance stark for the American people and so far mark I don't see dot. I'm sure we're gonna see we're gonna see a repeat of McCain in 2008. -- I'm warning you were gonna see a repeat of 2008. Unless Romney gets his act together. Todd thanks for all the anger on the Michelle make free show. I married you have. How these left wing journalists that are taken run me down for calling. Calling it obamacare aren't -- the same people that are calling messages felt here. Romney care in this and that fear or hate speech against mormons. Only tighten things that haven't come up. In your conversation today about Chris -- In one hour from war is that he was a terrific US attorney and put a lot of corrupt democratic politicians. From the Hudson County. Political machine in -- work in jail. The other thing is he took over. Does that does a great juxtaposition here between him and Corzine's. This Corzine came any bottom fell the governorship. He destroyed the public our economy. New security. And such that Christie had the command and rescue. The state from him and I think that would be a very powerful argument -- group of people case. To contrast himself as a Republican conservative. With John -- Corzine has a Goldman Sachs the way up from the left liberal investment banker. Argument some excellent points I want to thank you for that call body. No look. The -- what I like about Chris if you make very appoints. He's taken on the union's he's cutting spending he slashing taxes he's turning your Jersey around he's a straight shooter. But more than -- Look I'm originally from Canada I was born and raised in Montreal I came to America many years ago this is my country I love it. I came here as I say this often. I'm not an American by birth I'm an American by choice I love this country I was a student of American history I've taught American history. I love everything about America. However. I was born in Montreal. I am what used to be called an urban ethnic my parents were immigrants. I grow up with Italians I grope with the Irish are grope with jamaicans. I grew up with fellow Greeks fellow pulls. Those are my people. In fact even some native Americans. Are -- native Canadians I guess native Indians. I'd like Chris Christie because he's a street brawler. I like him because he speaks his mind like a lot of the people that I grew up -- he knows what it is to rise to the pop. He knows what it is that at that they care about you ordinary people of this state. This is what I like about Chris Christie Vista -- is great appeal. -- I grew up with these sort of blue collar working class lower middle class people who have been left behind for the last twenty years. We are the ones have been taking it on the chin. We are the ones that get up every day and work hard and pay your taxes raise our families and play by the rules. And it is our sons and our daughters. That goal and fight those wars overseas. And so I think it's about time. That the silent majority. That middle America. Get eight champion that they deserve somebody who which truly from them and represents them and defends them. That's what I like about Chris Christie forget everything else. I like the fact that one -- I'm telling you he reminds me of my friend Joey when I grow up. I chubby guy who always stood up in class and argued with the teacher stuck to his guns and in the schoolyard fight I'm telling you -- always had my back. And I'll take a guy like that over these corporate shy stirs or academic types any day. Any day. 6172666868.

To degrade people of Boston. The condi or not the condi. I mean should condi is now V front runner to be Mitt Romney's VP choice. Like the idea do you not like the idea. And now apparently. Romney is are racist. Because he's using the term obamacare he went in front of an NAACP apparently to deliberately get booed according to the liberal left media. And Nancy Pelosi was calculated. To appeal to southern racists. And racists across the country I guess. Do you think the race card strategy the politics of race. Will -- rescue Obama in November will it work I wanna hear from you. Al thanks for holding. Welcome to the Michelle McPhee show. Oh my -- I have to tell you I'm on the average white guy. And I'm pissed because I. What bite is all that went into a New Jersey and work with -- -- -- -- increase. In our people -- would say it's only one of the best where it was. But you know what I'm tired of it is called races or whatever it -- the greatest country in the world. Not purpose open that incredible victory. Nobody here before I think it's always been. Well there's something I'm aware of that it was bad and I'm currently get why people like it yeah but like I did it. When -- get tight and -- but does it you know white community because we are not listening. And we don't get -- And it's really hurting the horrible experience every experience. You know in the country right now it was mostly. In the last census that was -- mostly Asian and that Spanish. That white and black what nobody else is complaining. It's getting frustrated. Outlook. First -- -- under Obama we have become more racially and I believe politically polarized than we have in decades. You're completely right. Whenever the Democrats or liberals play the race card whenever they see racism and what that means they lost the argument. I mean they have nothing left is that they lost the argument so now they have to try to invent the worst -- that they can which is either racist. Sexist. Nativist. Or homophobic. And you nailed it now you put your finger right on it. There is no other country not them I'm not talking the world I'm talking in the history of the world I'm speaking now as an historian. That -- treated minorities. Better than the United States of America. No country has offered opportunities. To minorities better than the United States of America not perfect. No country is there's no such thing as utopia have been is only up in -- it's -- on earth. But this country to mean that we need to apologize constantly. It's ridiculous. Italian and and -- -- on with Chris Christie and I'm right on that and this well might suspect that coming from. And I think the other thing about Chris Christie that nobody wants to talk about. A lot -- the United States is that it has problems with weight. Everyone's struggle with that and watch any women. Those sites. And yet every once by the way. In a lot of guys who the guy -- is that right. -- I think he'd be a very good pick honestly I mean I'm I'm pretty overweight myself on -- Chris Christie overweight. But believe me I got a good bunch on me my problem is I have the beer belly without the bitter that's the problem revert back after -- break.
