Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) claimed Tuesday in an interview that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney refuses to release additional tax returns because he didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. “His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son,” Reid said in reference to George Romney’s decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in 1968. Avi discusses Reid's comment, pointing out that Reid is making the case that Romney is guilty until proven innocent.

It's more than okay. 8774694322. Years and phone numbers and text message code 68680. Email address. Saying Nelson WRK you know dot com. -- -- -- -- one from selling palm Smith please just don't know you just joining us from talking about and Smith. Than me he was the one who went to the chick fil -- in Tucson -- Rachel this poor girl who works there. The whole video and then went viral and does a lot of criticism got fired from his job bush really obnoxious and they deserve to be fireworks fired two. From one employee like now working for me. Anyway. The email says Sam Smith is just a dope with the national outpouring of support. Ford chick -- oil last week was more than support for the First Amendment or so called Christian values. He caught the imagination lots of people who feel -- need to show the media on the liberal political elite. That they don't speak for us. Mike Huckabee whose idea was Mike Huckabee on non fox the Fox Channel proposed I think he was the first you're on -- shot. And we his idea caught fire because it was an easy way to show which side you're on really did there are hundreds of -- response he went all over the country. Hi this is Sally -- the impulse to go buy chicken challenge my Shelby Miller totally agree with Dan camp these position. Just to say I'm has shown no -- taken anymore. I think the initial reaction augur well for November. You know it shows that if Mitt Romney were to stand up and there shall be counted. Amid -- -- world rally around now wish there was a fire that Reagan showed. Speaking to him that he did a little bit. Do with regard to Harry Reid remember your. Romney -- Harry put up or showed up -- could admit. Bill -- fire Harry Reid has made the comment -- made it more than once be different from. From -- the senate needs the majority leader of the senate so you're talking about. -- a powerful person using his political position. May -- comment about Romney not paying taxes. We have -- we have connection or do that clip right rorschach that you aren't the words out there hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. Why don't prove that he has paid taxes because he has. No that's not the way they weren't sure read you know getting bigger. Remember presumption of innocence Harry -- that's the way this system of jurisprudence in this country -- followed it. It's not guilty to approve an innocent it's innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof here is not a Mitt Romney because you say the words out. Besides coming from new I don't know where the word is. But the burden of proof is on Harry Reid to come up with proof of that accusation. Now Mitt Romney and others and shorter -- to deny it but Myanmar Mitt Romney is denied it. They're driving has also. Said challenge Hillary to come up with post sources that he mentioned he has but he won't reveal how convenient. And there's of course the suspicion that maybe some of those sources are in the White House is certainly has that. -- trademark fingerprints have a guy like axle -- who will stop at no limit. To impugn the personal background. Of opponents of Barack Obama they did that in Illinois when Obama was running for the senate both in the primary and the general election. Well look like this she Mitt Romney taken the next step I wanna him to show you Harry Reid for reliable. Slander. And if Romney of what Romney is saying is true. That he paid the taxes he did say by the way -- live to action where she had said I pay more taxes than you did Harry. In fact I paid more taxes they knew and Barack Obama and Joseph Biden combined. By the way Harry Reid has not released his tax return. Men and women claims that people in the congress child ought to release the tax returns so I think it would be nice if Harry Reid did. What are you hiding Harry did you not a judge is and so acknowledged. Accusations are easy but I think you're Mitt Romney. Challenged him in court. And it was show first that Romney. Is serious about this. That he really is convinced. That read visual whale off the reservation. On this. Now only be. The case would not even come to court until after the election so we wouldn't know. -- have commercial like some some fool legal pundits opining on this and some are saying all. Ron is a public figure couldn't possibly win because you have to show malice there's a little thing the Japan show in such cases as a public figure to win. In a challenge like this. And that it's called reckless disregard for the truth. Now I would start by -- In order to understand that what we mean by regard for the truth. Regard for the truth. I think should be interpreted to mean that somebody. They expanded. The appropriate amount of effort to -- ten. If he was saying the truth. -- Harry -- is the majority leader of the US senate he has a lot of resources. At his disposal. And he didn't make this is a private citizen he made it in the well of the senate. Shall we -- use the senate -- warships. Cannot expect. That is incumbent upon him to use those resources. To determine whether or not what he is about to -- is -- truth or. Or slow under. Because it's wrong. I think from their real legitimate claim to force Harry to say that. Not somebody else said hello Ron you have to then releases fashion turns paction don't think that's true. What Harry Reid should -- she didn't pay his taxes. All Romney has to prove his thing he did pay the taxes. Should we can get an affidavit. From the IRS they pay -- taxes or you to have some outside and clearly impartial. Arbiter. Who will look at the tax returns and be able to declare yes she paid down to it. Or the judge could decide deal could look at them because he's a confidential. These are confidential. You -- returns. The judge could look at them privately in chambers. And he could make that determination. -- argument think it's required that Romney released the tax -- -- certainly. Would put Harry Reid on the defensive which is where he belongs if indeed what he said which fault. Now frankly I don't know one way -- the all of which -- that's what happens now everybody is deciding OJ. Maybe maybe you should release his tax return well we don't know who is hiding my money's in the in the Cayman Islands or Mars or something that. But that's not the issue. The issue is that Harry Reid is the majority leader of the US senate. Personal even if they charge is true he ought not to be seen in the sense this is it a campaign statement against an opponent. You don't use the senate of the United States that you don't usually -- your position as majority leader to do it. But the issue here is whether or Harry Reid has lied. And if so. What should happen to him and I would like to see a legal challenge. And if indeed Mitt Romney's. Correct when he says he paid detection and he ought to know. And read. Re probably wouldn't be paying taxes for -- if you had no assets left. When Romney wins the case. And damages because there are a lot of damages caused by something like -- son you recession. But when -- damage someone's reputation. In the middle of the presidential campaign. Let's costing hundreds of millions of dollars -- a lot of temperatures. Page 774694322. Is a phone number text message code 686. -- And the email address and Nelson and -- RK dot com. From 61 Shannon. Are you aware that both -- Debbie Wasserman Schultz is parents are in federal prison. And -- photos and I have no idea whether that's true. That tax managed code fortunately I'm not in the senate. Question I give me judge -- hit his Debbie Wasserman Schultz is parents learn. Well her her imprisoned here on American. That's not true telephone lines. Hey you -- -- up on the program. -- -- I find it so really funny and hypocritical. Okay now we're learning they'd let me just jump you know Cancun for a moment how much -- you -- promised -- you -- you know you may feel good about it. That I've gotten several emails in advancing your -- only you knew me know if you're gonna call that you mentioned your call. They anticipate your calling giving me suggestions as to what I should say -- This once you know the level of your stardom you your infamy on this program. Are they -- you know we don't what I really think about probably 99.9 percent of your -- but listen. He would speak to hit the problem with here I commit. And I hope you give -- time to Mikey gave the you call rough times to help Jerry built for you and they put us. Is coherent -- you know there's a. And even NBA in -- mention anything about what Mitt Romney -- hammering Shannon O'Brien. Put her husband taxes -- Mitt Romney would hearing. Senate candidate full. Boy tactics so I guess this okay for the Mitt Romney to say things about taxes but when it comes that you don't -- this. He says water relief and so that's that's. -- -- -- I didn't hit all the notes -- -- you update you -- mr. Romney should be ejected and the chemical attack and he should react this year no Brian does that. Full contact. -- in -- transition -- -- well even on the earth tone -- notice a little -- that -- you know it's very interesting review I've only talk about a topic. You're approaching. I hit it 300 went back into that. And then they can -- this I think yeah I commit. About Harry Reid DOK. -- how he should be sued but first. Put -- premiere of thought is it to be huge yeah and it doesn't and number. Every day if -- usually like going back in history as our call. -- ran against Kennedy in 1994 you'll forgive me if I don't have his fingertips although things that happened eighteen years ago. Now I didn't say the -- she'd be shoot -- show you should be indicted. For violating the constitution. Do you think you violated the constitution by saying that somebody can't comment have a business in Boston because we. Could be she all of that company made a comment about a political issue do you throw. That that's -- violation. I think -- Mayor Menino was brought basic any shipment never. Said that but again I'm back -- -- Bob May not you can't I'll comment that carried me through Harry Reid. We'll get back to that -- you don't you brought up Menino in this conversation I didn't. And I were you OK do you think it violated the constitution. No -- my diet I just think that it would not be no I don't think it's that. One out of constitution says did you have a right. To come up with a point of view which is different from the government and you will not be punished by the government for having that point of view. That's why they looted our I usually don't know. Brother that I know waited so I don't know the facts. Don't do other -- I just maybe the fact the saw through the facts are gave that Menino said that chick -- will not be able to get a license in Boston -- -- now are you interpret the facts here I'm not saying that's right and what happens what happens when you do things that are wrong and you violate the constitution that's a crime -- and when you commit crimes like robbing -- bank is wrong and what I'm doing it you have to be prosecuted. I -- well. Well I guess the attorney general would have to look into. No I'm thirsty and you gave them -- -- attorney general and -- I don't do it all I don't think I -- I don't think anything not get tried many things look at anybody on your shine the now I on the constitution that -- -- really -- -- -- -- I didn't -- I'd -- it should be more and now I'm not if you do something that's wrong and criminal. OK listen we're going to agree to disagree with that subject but I wanna give back -- Harry -- comment. You left out one important comment that Harry Reid also said about mr. Rodney. Well yeah I'm listening -- well well I really can't really. Says Harry Reid says this election would. -- bottled. And I'm paraphrasing here that I'll be angry white males that every car Harry -- it will call for about a got angry -- and I. We know that that's who you cater to the -- 99 point hypothetical our. Odd that we know that you wanna talk about that RB. Dave I'll be happy to leave before you called and you may or call I said that Romney ought to come on foursquare against affirmative action. Outside and that's not what they don't have the you have these. -- is -- the back at the unit that you are old data and knowledge did just that you mentioned in my -- I listen to remained out of the Mac all you mentioned in the. You cannot have a phone cold days that doesn't where you don't resort to the race card we were talking about taxes. Can't. Save quiet. The first thing. The the eight the touchy issue has nothing to do with race. That's where you started that's where I started officials Hariri making a comment about Mitt Romney not paying taxes. You have to somehow deteriorate back to the race card which is the only thing you're gonna play -- tell you've gotten through life. It's -- you've gotten. You know of to root for any kind of conversation. When in doubt you just fall back to the race card and the reason it because you cannot handle the argument. What we talked about Menino your final. Disposition was. Well. We'll just agree to disagree. So we didn't agree disagree. We found that your argument was vacuous you couldn't come up with a response so you just okay we'll go back -- where do you go to give go to the race card. There's nothing to do my Harry Reid. Did something inappropriate and had to do with China -- it didn't have to do with race. It has four if you -- to talk about race you're right -- I don't think people like Q what do get advancement on the basis skin color. I don't think white people who take a fire fires example or police. Exam you know for promotion and score higher I don't think they should be -- back because this skin color isn't dark enough. He -- and I think the Mitt Romney -- -- something about it stand up and be counted and I think he'd be applauded for. Only people like Q. Are in favor of this kind of -- you're not only not only people like you people like you and people who were somehow. I guess immersed in liberal guilt. And think it's okay to use that as a criterion support this abomination talk about violation of the constitution. No constitutional rights in this country that should apply equally to everybody. Are violated at the core. By the rotten programmable affirmative action he isn't vulgar corruption of our systems and should be eliminated. -- suggestion for -- day. And by the way I know we lost the call I wish I tried to which one hole I think accidentally that you lost to relish my mistake. But just for the heck of it next time we're talking about an issue that doesn't involve British seem if you can get through entire conversation. Without. Bringing race into it. To challenge for you have to work park. Okay now we had to take a break core shack. Okay. -- has led us to -- paying session back on the other side with your phone calls -- innocent. Welcome back there's 1000 a couple of my text messages. The suggestion that. You know -- should release his taxes. After. And after Obama releases college transcripts. No you folks who -- fixated on -- college transcription I don't care what somebody -- in college frankly. No Ronald Reagan was a Democrat in earlier years -- OK I'm also willing to I didn't college. Well you do things as a teenager pet food doesn't indicate where you are. I don't care about college transcription munitions you. Now the fact that Obama spent 25 year between two years from age 25 to age 47. With Jeremiah Wright as a mentor does. Counts for something. Bradley gave called the how we -- show and Allen west was on the congressman called daily chuckle it. I didn't hear the call -- take your face. OK let me see a couple of things don't go I would go back to the telephone lines. Tony emailed -- Reminder of news story that. -- Barack Obama campaign has sued Ohio. To blocked a measure which extends early voting for members of the military. Measure it. The antipathy that they the man must have the military. Betty they want to give them three days extra time devote non non non bombers against that. Course I shot some statistics don't we shall. That Romney has much better among veterans and members of the military than Obama and us. And one other thing I'm gonna put on the table and then we'll go back to the lines. NASA has sent a probe to Mars. Which is due to land Sunday night. These of course are. Remarkable achievements. 154. Million miles away. And its no easy landing. They have to slow down from thirteen thousand miles an hour relative to Mars. To a complete stop can take seven minutes it's been called it's going to be the seven minutes of terror has the people here on earth. Are concerned as to whether round. You know lending to -- palatial whether crashes and pull things from not incidentally in that distance. It takes about fourteen minutes. Force signals to come from -- to go to Marshall. Too we all know until fourteen minutes after. It happened at the landing. Or just remarkable. Achievement and something worth doing for those we shouldn't spend the money. He reminder of the million -- military implications. Of falling behind space technology I'll pose one question. Well and and he only -- bush -- can pick up on it. One of the missions of this this probe. Curiosity it's -- Is just see if there's any kind of life on Mars rudimentary life. Hello -- ask those of you who ascribe to the biblical. Description of creation in the book of Genesis. Whether if life is found an Animal Planet. Does not contradict. The the biblical. Interpretation. Of creation. Does that does that become a problem in terms of the religion. Okay -- 77469432. To the phone number and bill you are next on the program thanks for waiting good afternoon. I probably yes sun is sort Rami should go. He should school. Perry. And -- you know I can always made his money bit dirty work you know landfills. Highway coming down through his State's main prize the Landon. Does blend our oceans and everything art -- he should salute them. And he'll never win Romney -- level -- -- because public figure. Spacious still storms just to bury him in debt what legal fees and put in my out of its misery. And as soon as strong they've become president. Then Harry Reid will have nothing. Then the metal finish from all the other thing is when it comes there's triple -- you've got. Form than city schools that are at his best as Chicago's city schools that are disaster. You've got -- cargo worn black cube gets killed every single day it's not so. -- Although word of voters or the -- you you can get married is to get it. What they really should change their priorities. And put an -- today youth violence in the city nobody cares if it's gay people wanna get married. And Romney should put it through bull Menino and Rick Rahm Emanuel. Said you know like what you're doing you -- and you know get rid -- youth violence fits all about drugs and when you get -- drugs then you have to go to the Mexican border. And close the border get in -- get in mental wall this drug trafficking and everything else. The real picture is. Different stamp you know like the chip away -- yeah this is the story always. Okay well thank you for the call tomorrow -- the murder rate in Chicago. I'm almost a million black usual they disproportionately high. In the the death rate. But the murdering of Chicago. Is a role fleeing. The H one point three or one point four murders per day in the ninth pitch to people the three people killed every two days. Patience is extraordinary really is interesting that Rahm Emanuel who's upset that some neighboring chicken restaurant into the he into the city. But I would say this to IE you know the bills you said all Romney should say this server manner of Rahm Emanuel and Tommy. Romney is running for present in the United States once he's president he can insinuate themselves into things against. Look at what brought it to Obama did -- with gates in the Cambridge stutter -- the blue led to the beer summit. But along the way now. The reasoning -- to take on Harry Reid is -- Reid made that that accusation. And if its faults and should react well to where I would say this also I really don't thing. The legal system should be used. To bankrupt somebody. Just buy in terms of dreaming them because of the the mind not to pay -- that that's not what the system is all about and that's why she'll be able suggest we should do what what the British do. And that is that the looser and and in that case like fish were you learn shoe for reliable -- the loser has to pay the -- -- -- Surely you don't end up with -- anybody stepping into some deep pockets tenth -- I can break this guy because I can. File you know and was pleadings and and they can do endless depositions and and would drain. That's one of the real reason by the way it's such such a problem when you grow up against the government -- government has unlimited resource to parents not their money. The lawyer for the Justice Department he didn't care. He's not he's not there writing out the checks. And by the way in the near should be charged by over the civil rights violation who were close violation of the constitution. Back to that cell phone -- time and action program. Ahead. -- and by the way. Dave talked to colonel west the other that he can called colonel west. People full moon because of this political views and I'm sorry. Dave. That colonel west that it is as the man who served his country. You might not like his political views and he's a black man. That doesn't subscribe to liberalism. That does not make -- -- I'm looking for this way I'm not black so I can't talk from the so called black perspective but. I'm sorry eight colonel west is that is a decent. Human and not -- -- Tom there's no black or white perspective on this year actually right you may disagree with Allen west but he's not a -- I've heard him speak a number of times I didn't hear him when he was -- how -- program but you know this guy is a bright consequential guy you may. Disagree with his points of view I disagree lot of people who. So well in terms of their points of view that does not make them buffoon and then make them wrong in my gosh but not the -- -- that's you know something. Dave. I used to be a staunch Democrats I am no longer one and the reason why I left the Democrat party. It because of people like you. Where if -- -- all holier than now moral platitudes. And not enough get old. I assume you applies today not me. Yeah of course you know -- I've I've known you Bobby for probably. Close to thirty years as a as a figure. In Boston political. You know media. But now it just it is just another way to look at this. Election season gets so forth but I do beg to differ with you on one point. I think that Barack Obama's college records. As well. As his college applications. Should be made public and I think the Romney campaign should Eminem on that because. If he did go to occidental. And urban legend is he applied as a foreign student and he put that on their okay I'm sorry that's fraudulent and he should be. Oh that's right no I agree with that two bit. And I think Mitt Romney in all honesty she should be used live at the that is past ten years. Beat him that there's there's a wild card left that wide above that always wants. And then just happy to say I'll release my taxes one of Barack Obama let's just truly know who years. And I I would bet you any amount of money. That Barack Obama in college probably wrote some stuff that. -- white male like me might be a little shock of this perspective. Well Tom I want to close with this I appreciate your -- -- -- just while -- -- want to close with this and I'm glad that I have lived to see today. That you became. No longer a Democrat -- Don't 1990 that in 1993. We can this happen out now so that was it. We kind of had this happy conversation nearly twenty years ago. Thanks are going to not. 8774694322. Is the phone number. These job numbers -- any unemployment is up again eight point 3% picked up a tenth of a percent. There was talk that there are more jobs created but not enough. To make things can happen correctly he's changed -- to hear the Obama -- each talk about Iowa moving in the right direction and actually we're not. The real economy which was drawing at one point 9% who -- -- quarter is now one point 5% that's not the right direction. That's the wrong direction. I do wanna mention also. That that Obama just this week. He embraced Bill Clinton was there they talked about our plan the plan work -- raise taxes and the economy boomed. -- almost made it sound like you was console but okay we'll give the benefit of the doubt Jewish just contemporaneous. -- you -- to take a look total was going on with the clean economy there was a high tech boom. The dot com boom -- later bush did but during the period of the nineties. They work they were flying high. Unemployment was in the war 4% range the economy was growing at three and a half percent. Per year more than double what it is now. So you know the and and we had a balanced budget unlike this president which has trillion dollar deficit shelf you know you can get away with raising taxes man. None well. -- he just. He doesn't he doesn't get it. And there is one thing -- interest in here he talked about Barack Obama who. Most of -- are interested in making new economy grow right we wanna have more jobs economy grows more rapidly businesses expand and you get. More people employed. But Obama doesn't view it that way. Coincidentally one thing the former play clipper before that in January of 22 and when the economy was growing your 2.3 percent. -- now it's one point five. When it was 2.3 percent -- Ballmer made a speech and you can see it. Obama made a speech that can't raise taxes now because you economies to week to week -- 2.3. But it one point five who can raise them. The reason -- it's the Obama isn't interest in job growth. He's interest to in this concept called -- because he thinks class warfare. Is a way to get coached. No we have a clip that we're gonna play now Charlie Gibson. Asking the question of Barack Obama in 2008. Into debate with Hillary Clinton during the primary season. And this will. Hopefully this will explain at all. You have. -- however said you would favor an increase in the capital gains tax. President -- you set on CNBC and I quote I certainly would not go. Above what existed under Bill Clinton which is 28% is -- 15% that's almost doubling if you want to 20% but actually Bill Clinton in 1997. Signed legislation that dropped the capital gains tax to 20% from. And George Bush has taken it down to 16% and in each instance. In the rate dropped revenues from the tax increase. The government took in more money it's and in the 1980s -- For the tax was increased to 28% of the revenues went down. So why -- it at all especially given. Affected a hundred million people in this country own stock and would be affected. And so what -- certainly is true I -- look at raising capital gains sex. Sure sure this is a service. To that. Here Gibson laid out very are particularly in clearly. That on the strategy of raising capital gains tax actually reduces revenue the government and Obama didn't bat an -- Just finished. Even if the economy suffers even if the -- your revenues are reduced to the government. Obama wants your head with -- because. What he calls fairness is an aberration he sort of really deep redistributed. He believes in -- distributing. The world he hasn't antipathy. To the people who have. Who were wealthy which he associates with visions brand -- production actors or athletes. And of course we've heard -- say you know -- provision she didn't build that. To this show is where the moon is coming up he's not looking to grow the economy or to create jobs now is his first priority. His first priority -- if you can get a boost even wealthy businesspeople. There's if you got a -- That you can build up. Then we're gonna take the money away from you because of it. Frank you're a national program good afternoon. -- the high here on. That this is responsive frank can you hear me okay. The I'm doesn't debate with a triple -- and the -- -- Brought me back to my eighth grade civics class. Just Jon Stewart -- None. Not prevailing. I thought that the legislature makes the loans only. The executive branch is supposed to enact them now the man and I'm not necessary defending policy actions would. He. -- commonwealth is. Same sex marriages illegal. And the person coming in from chick filet is saying that he opposes that at least. The politically I am done. And the man might have reacted defensively sang -- -- -- that these laws and it's legal here for the people of the same sex -- so. But yet constitutionally. He has the right because this is AAA president has a right to express this opinion which irritates you CA conflict here between the state and -- Not a good thing you've got to. Children look if you want to disagree with that you know about the fact that so that. It's legal. Same sex marriage in Massachusetts you have the right to say I don't agree with that we don't have capital punishment in Massachusetts but I'm in favor of capital punishment. My little right to stand up and say I disagree with that long. Now -- in. In Dan camp these cases is CEO chief for -- it all he did was she says he's in favor of same sex marriage he has a right to that opinion. And one thing that is very clear.
