Complains about people -- money but lives in the Ritz Carlton here down the street so if that's on the agenda. I'm not gonna go there this is just a made up issue on the defense ever gonna spend any time talking up. I'd say it I can or is probably just call them dirty liar you stand by that you think Harry Reid's dirty liar. I just said it. Guy makes a 193000. Dollars a year. And he lives at the Ritz Carlton.

This is a guy who hasn't -- this re leased his -- returns it for three years can't get a budget. Passed in the United States senate. This is this is amazing it's just the this is from powerline blog this is written by -- written by warriors. An -- thing is is -- read that means he Paul Pelosi 2012. Meeting I mean just that. Just the person who's not terribly -- to. In his even less likable. And that they with the pot with a record that is almost impossible to the fan by the way has not teachers when in the harbor. He just went into the harbor dead opposite that you know about next dance hall today. All right they told me to behave myself afterward maybe it's because my last name is -- -- it was my relative that killed at The Boston Massacre. Patrick -- from county to all way. You never got the -- welcome Patrick -- a compact for car I've said this before welcome Patrick -- does doesn't get the the Christmas -- yet. Just because he's from Ireland he doesn't that -- the county -- they they don't that'll give him that the the respect. Where they are the museums in the east schools and parks named after electric car or right -- about. -- He was a hot headed rapport. That says. Solicit for powerline dot blog we're gonna get -- calls here just a minute. First Harry Reid is a corrupt political hack the anti Pelosi came by her money honestly she Mary. But we -- it re acquire his fortune. This is why I called him the godfather to my column yesterday. His latest financial disclosure form indicates that Reid owns assets valued at up to more than seven million dollars. Prior disclosures of vindicated the network up to ten million dollars. Reid has never had a higher high paying job and his wife well it was opened at the -- in -- commission. Which is a big. It is almost always been employed in the public sector as a majority leader of the senate his paid a 193400. Dollars annually. Seoul. On where exactly did you to hear his multi million dollar portfolio real estate and mining interests. Again this is a powerline blog saying -- the short answer is -- options is corruption from here to read has been the beneficiary of sweetheart deals in the bad. We wrote about one series of Las Vegas real estate transactions here. The only. -- cronies some of whom keep coming up in organized crime investigations have made him wealthy man but -- mobsters more real estate developers give money. A wave of worry. What favors is read about what strings deceitful. That have been worth millions to was benefactors. Revisit poster boy for cronyism and corruption and damaged which all democratic. Senate candidate should be. -- I agree 18774694322. Which just the justice -- the -- that. That somebody would say the strikes me this is this this is like that. It's like Mary. Mayor Mary and I mentioned this -- called to marriage indicate that the that the marbles talks about you know make up. We've they make up sources will make up sources who won an -- Mary should it. -- to I think very -- to take as the as the Harry Reid source on this. In the battle of the same guy who told told Lyndon Johnson that is that his us senate opponent. Had -- carnal knowledge of barnyard animals and we wanted to use that that I know we did do what I wanna see him that night. 18774694322. Georgia are next with how we cards we broadcast live here from the Boston Tea Party. Ships and museum go ahead George. Yeah you know texting because when you're actually pretty. Actual clip Perry read what senate senate floor it reminds you Lotto like a prisoner obamas -- about the future heart tonight didn't though. I don't know acts but. Cambridge police acted stupidly. It is Harry Reid actually if you played it quote after he basically did. Like -- from -- -- He didn't date I don't think did but he didn't pay taxes. -- circle in here I mean it's. It would essentially on -- face it just doesn't make any sense cycle quote. But with what you know Obama's been good Obama you know remote when he used to when -- was campaigning for Obama cared he would he would say. You know these these doctors are making a lot of money there were either there road doing the atlas amputations of people's limbs for 3040000. Dollars -- He was he was he was tabling an entire. Entire profession and -- -- we object -- -- totally untrue. Not only for the fact that they don't do what but they have an amputation is apparently only three or four Korea. Well you know the old days like bad rape and they go way -- to meet you you for that if you right. Right out and now the standard is it that the best oval. -- this blasphemy is say he has is the on law but you know optical what happened George. What happened to one -- what happened to while Alexander Hamilton when he sits among toward things about Aaron -- He -- to what bill. All right I mean it does so the standards have just gotten way way out of whack in you know I don't know it's. Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson kill the guy in a dual for saying something about his wife Armenian you know the people had. People fought duel over less than us. Well again. This is where at these Visteon is that we're at right now it's just -- Friday to say what you want do what you want. And there's just no accountability so why would you not just throw -- out there and let it stick why not. My guess there's I guess there's no -- I mean I just you know for some reason I would just think that the guy who's trained as a lawyer. You know what would somehow you know have some more respectful. For the US constitution. The cheaper so I guess we just checked this out. The cheapest rate at the DC brits we just checked it out. Blame here who's doing the producing here. The cheapest rate at the DC Ritz is 242. Dollars per night but I'm sure that's like that when bets. -- I'm on the first floor last sort of awards the cheapest room for -- -- for a year at the Ritz Carlton in DC would be 78003939. The year. That's that's that's a pretty good chunk out of 193000. -- -- B is if he doesn't have to pay federal income taxes -- -- that's important fifty miles away. Let's say that's pretty expensive Levin -- And he had ever come out -- what Harry Reid's religion again. Yeah exactly exactly it's sites that it was warm on my used that the went back one -- -- on Mormon crime and somewhat correct that means that it was a moral wrong. On the Mormon -- I wish I don't -- that. 18774694322. -- and you're next with how we -- go ahead Dan. Ali senator Reid is Spain from what I've heard that Mitt Romney -- know. Contacts with small levels compared -- which is collect. I think pretty outrageous charge I think. They're probably need to get a little Chris -- And and only. If that if these social or significantly it is something so property is because everybody has -- it. It on the line very. You put -- senate seat -- -- two years and a year. And I'll show you that I did pay taxes and fees so they can I think -- for Obama. That that would shut him up because you'd be glad to make the bet but then -- would nick on the -- when he lost. What is -- what does it it's a little on the senate war and tell now why. Well like like keys -- -- You know why why why do you think he thinks he's going to be used to well you pardon the racial racial Russert well John -- -- -- Yeah it just I I think he's missed got to start until these guys and I'm -- -- I don't know I don't want to come across quite get over the 101000. With the Texas governor but I think the Republicans want don't want a fighter and it's. I'll let these descriptive as he did I think this -- the way to do it just just -- Yeah I know I wish I you know I commit another mistake I made my column has been so why can't -- find somebody's as sleazy is read that -- world respond. But you know what they -- it should be somebody sleazy but Johnson I don't know -- but just putting drugs John -- doesn't judgment of senior. He doesn't mind going out there kicking ass and -- names I think it is now. If you plot that we can also -- blog I appreciate that -- that you could still find my column on the Drudge Report to by the way. Don't know I took it -- column turned out nicely but that you know. The the problem is you need somebody who's gonna fight back in just and doesn't mind getting somebody below the belt but I mean I. Even even by Harry -- standards this is -- Leo Walt Walt I don't I again. There's there's -- there's one of the key. Key parts of the American. Anglo American jurisprudence is you war innocent until proven -- correct -- So Harry Reid says Harry Reid says. Well now you're actually guilty until you're proven innocent until you couldn't rule that you you paid the taxes your -- What what. When they do win that the rules change here -- home. -- digitally on countered his attack and offer up the challenge. -- -- Like that that I don't think that the challenge would work because she cute because of reed is reed is definitely body genital mean. And I use his word is his word is of no use whatsoever thanks for the call. 1877469432218. It is. If you were gentle -- if you worry an ethical person you know what -- made this charge that began with you know be one thing if he had the documentation. Packet up. Mean she she treatments that. She -- cheaper compared this to blow when the McCarthy Joseph McCarthy about what the west beat -- of the women with the women's group and West Virginia we Wheeling, West Virginia. And he that heavy thing. So we just he just took a couple piece of paper and role model but that he -- he was what it was call people out as breast pocket and distort wave them around so I have the number four. These -- the names of 405 people in the State Department were Communists. There's always this way is this any different than. I was that the and the fact that. We read is that. And Joseph McCarthy was a Republican that's the only efforts. 18774. And bio the other -- difference Joseph McCarthy was worth ten million bucks. 1877469432. Don't think that Joseph was in all the -- treaty deals like that. His country he yeah he -- -- developer but that was about it that was his -- build your next without -- go ahead bill. OK you know this just goes to prove that this segued right into the other stuff you're gonna talk about. Currently is that it is it is not going to law electricity use just the poster boy. But there there are no laws including NAFTA won't be able by the way is just has just likable he has. This is why we have got to get to Democrats -- this is why we cannot -- -- -- as of the date. As far as taxes goes. -- -- that actually. Look -- tax -- administration and the bubble gavel out. Well life go postal least the one who's the one who's -- -- unemployment numbers every. Every month she say yes she see she had tax problems her husband -- -- pay taxes on his. On his business to LA. You have but Charlie Rangel. Personally via truck you had Tom Daschle didn't want instead he was going to be severely -- and they'll turn -- had been paying taxes. All the freebies he was getting in yet you know I'm sure there's a monster there's there's more I just can't think of. And 00 we need an American Idol vice president know we do not we need that Romney is somebody who can. Somebody was gonna get some folks bill but what you need you know it all mean why how many votes is Portman gonna get a maybe you are big -- Ohio gets a few votes but I mean he's just. He's just. He's sort of it worked in the Bush Administration -- the -- compared to the Obama administration the Bush Administration is the good old days but. I mean he he's he. He still has that bush team to -- -- the big advocate -- get somebody from outside the outside the usual. The usual. Ups list of suspects thanks for the call bill 18774694322. Just that your next with about what part or adjustment. Well built Obama under a little bit there how late but so well itself Harry -- three Matt. Years ago it seemed like to get it -- you know I'm the cap that you actually had to be attached cheap. I think we talked about that I think we can couple years and I think we try it and then -- there. They're -- there're. There're there're a lot. And and then. But you know I mean this isn't this is like -- With the case of Geithner who by the ways is the Treasury Secretary which makes him the of these -- service he's in this is that like -- -- -- the list. You know 300 -- made. You know away freelance somewhere this is this is a guy. Who -- or a tax write off. Who was you who was given money when he worked for the World Bank the pace is other taxes in the just pocket the money and didn't pay any taxes. And then he told he he. Everybody knows the -- right off an overnight. For -- yet -- as a tax expense and he did it. -- Yeah you're talking about how Harry Reid made his money can't remember -- connect the -- but he was basically doing what Billy Bulger did back in the in his time when they would just sit there and take heed what the pieces or hand and basically make that work a lot more. The -- changing permits then selling it all back on itself. Yes yes you yes that is exactly what he was doing and he was he was. And he was wandering the money through his son's his sons are lawyers to or at least one of his sons as a warrior and they were wandering the money through the sun's offer. You know Iraq the -- I just in the area -- I'd make my money by making companies like staples. Pogo are opera. Sealy mattress how old name that your money. -- -- -- How do you get how how what considering the most you've ever made in your life -- what to make him now which is -- 193000. Dollars a year. How you how do you have a network of ten million bucks. It's it's not it's just not possible. Now thanks for the call. But thanks for the call 1877469432218774694322. Let's let's find out during the break that -- how much much like a mid level. Cost at the at the at the -- -- 350. 350 and I -- figure 918774694322. On our car. 187746943220. -- got another one here this is good -- come from -- the story. The avenues of citizen and about it. It's it it's provocatively and I've outlined on the edge that you. The recurring question of the day. Let's see that now they're just saying it's four point six here is this because a couple of years -- The problem lots of people start war -- cart and get rich in the private sector. The problem for Harry -- is that since he graduated college there hasn't been a lot of outside of government service. -- was elected to the state assembly in 1966. In the past 43 years this -- three years old. Would -- went from 27 years -- that 70s73. Now. The only -- and public service was -- two years in the mid seventy's between his term as we -- governor and his service on the Nevada gaming commission. And redeeming commission that Michael -- only that it got a body all. The is a lot of straighten out that didn't. Did okay way to say it went away what happened here back. You read out so one -- the Nevada gaming commission it's it's a very distinguished. People -- Okay let's see. During that time he ran for mayor of Las Vegas leaving him little time to build up a fortune in the private sector. Now we own curtains -- -- 931093400. Dollars a year. When he first entered the senate 1987 I think the senate service salary was about -- 125000. Here in order to build up four point six million over the past 43 years again this is 2009. Read what the soccer side out of various groups out of various. Salaries. Would have the soccer side. Worked nearly a 107000. Dollars per year does anyone want to believe Reid is on this but -- -- his government salary and the -- Including all your when he made far less than even 107000. A year. And built up is fortune just out of money we know he's been burning since he entered public office. What do freeze fortune is actually closer to higher estimates six point three million now what now the -- ball figures 700000. -- ball figure. Is ten million. It's just not all that Reid has done this just as governments on all -- many kids by the way. He has five -- it's -- sure overture there's a lot of money. All we raised all through college as various government salaries were enough to live on but how what all of that expense that -- built up so much money what did he do how to beat though it. How does a man whose. Act is legislation makes so much money that can build -- war and a half million dollars of net worth. It's small wonder that Reid believes in the power government to make things good. It certainly made things -- out he's risen from the summer of hard rock miner to a fabulously wealthy senate majority leader. Being in government Reid has been like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He hasn't had to work for the money but he's managed to acquire an awful that. Is this what we want to we want people winner politics war and -- it very rich nothing wrong with a -- in being in government nothing wrong with being -- -- in the government with the start pouring in rich while never doing anything in the private sector. Is a clear indicator of trading on one's position this is why -- so desperately wants to remain in work. It's all he's. To lose that offices the ability to say -- up another form. Dollars it's not like Reid has any marketable skills in the private sacked three but his skills a lawyer is probably rushed the as he hasn't done any real legal practice since 1960s he's also forgotten the constitution and what. Which I believe makes it very clear that a man is innocent until proven guilty. Read outside of the senate is -- nobody. All evidence indicates that Reid is enriched himself off his government position and -- lest we get evidence from Reid to the contrary we parent reelect them unless we give evidence to a country that's sounds like -- that's unlike Reebok and fortunately we did reelect them. That's from Nevada news and views that's his that's his home state it's one of his home state newspapers. 187746943220. Barbara your next with how -- cargo at Barbara. -- -- -- Harry -- Doesn't matter what you said because he can unit and the inning depressed doesn't care they they they all I'll bet that Joseph Kennedy Montrae. Our perception is reality. Here -- -- -- people did believe and Harry Reid immune because the press. On his side of the -- Right into the I have ever heard at governing when the -- make -- joke about Harry -- magic underwear. Not mean. You should this all of this pit stop everyone from talking about the fact that. In the future obamacare. Going to be taking 1% of every bank transaction in your life. If you make it the how to if you make withdrawal 1% of that go to the government every day. Twenty point seven and in obamacare. Is talking about the real things that are happening and also -- and being. I would want out of Washington right in -- talking about it you know that. Well the globe wrote an editorial about what a wonderful job be dead but what would you -- from the -- Right there are. Yeah no I understand. Amnesty and -- -- this is its still its operation change the subject. Thanks for the call Barbara bill your next with how we are going at -- Now with what was have you read what Charlie Rangel it probably won't he go to achieve that which. It doesn't go for the the -- to -- collapse the Charlie Rangel who. Target rate -- to every. -- -- that we know these people attack sheet we know that spit and that the people on any of them but it critical -- -- charts with no haven't got the all the street people aren't that. I've never been impacted. Or walk. We know how we know that -- -- I don't want someone called BB for the show will drive over here the waterfront. And pulled out -- -- Oval -- and they have it they had -- in it. Number withheld so I can't even Trace back who was but someone told me Harry Reid stopped releasing his tax returns -- stop -- -- -- I think you should prove that it's it's altered. Read it don't look -- and sees this and he's got that right that's the way America works. That's what the Democrats work in the -- the other editorial that everything I can't beat these people who hate paying taxes themselves all want to pay to develop that -- -- -- would trick in the book until we put the ball down and the importance that where it's actually a bit target Atlanta we try to pull out. Putting a -- listing Rose Kennedy as a resident of Florida their death when she hadn't set forth in the state of Florida for twelve years to beat the death tax in Massachusetts. -- -- -- -- Ali if they tried to do don't want it they'll remember -- it would go on to what airport talk. Nokia Nokia and William and you know let them my you know gave a slight on it built well. The the right -- governor of Massachusetts who by the way of course Obama -- 2008. Thanks for the call bill. John your next with how we -- go ahead John. -- Huey Long in the White House is not Obama but not let the -- this Harry Reid every meet the king yet right. Every -- he's guilty of how -- you heard that word. Cal me that's what it is not blast from MacCallum yes. You -- -- him and why. Yeah us in the is making representations. To black and another's reputation. That's exactly what -- guilt the right attitude and it you know what it's that it's a complete he just think of -- we talked about this on Friday. How many people above the above the rank of head for Michael. Take take calls directly it. Yet we're supposed to believe that Hillary -- just happened to pick up his phone one day didn't know what the hell was calling. Ed just decided to listen that this sky high speed you up this story. And the story was something unbelievable but he decided that the quote golden door and -- repeated -- Everett repeated press conferences and on the floor of the senate. We're supposed to believe best the jet John. 18774694322. On our car. 18774694322.
