Mitt Romney's class warfare

Good morning. Tuesday morning -- -- -- -- -- W art real beautiful red hot and sweaty summer day. It's not -- there. -- capital funding corporation your future finance. Let's listen in Seattle once again see if you can hear one shred -- even here one with. Tiny hint of anything negative of any class warfare anything ill legitimate anything other than straight facts to. In this commercial from Mitt Romney attacking Barack Obama. In 1996. President Clinton and a bipartisan congress on health and welfare as we know. By requiring work for welfare and on July 12. President Obama. Quietly announced a plan to cut welfare reform. By dropping more performance under Obama's plan he wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train -- job did you send in your welfare check. And welfare to work goes back to being -- welfare. Mitt Romney will restore the world requirement because it works but -- Mitt Romney and actually just message. Beautiful land. Completely accurate. About his dry. -- you need a little more emotion that would be my only argument doesn't it could using hints of class warfare just to spice it up a little bit it's so dry. Go conjures up images of the welfare queen thing a game ever went there thinking that black. Number one that's that's the weakest form the argument I have that's rise wanna get out of the way okay. Number wind. -- though Barack Obama didn't quietly in the dead of night lift some restrictions. He was asked by states if certain requirements can be weekend. So that they can mean more risk threshold to get people off welfare. -- on to work well let's all hold -- that's all Barack so now let's not to excuse all Barack Obama's administration did was we gain some of them he limb oh no not weekend. Opened up so that more things can be counted as work requirements towards welfare to get people back to work. All he did was allow the states to make their decisions about welfare reform he gave the states back the rights and took it away from the federal government program. Now that's exactly what happened number -- Number -- In 2005. -- governor Mitt Romney or ask for those requirements to be weakened so that he could get more people off welfare. Into work in number three. Or later said he didn't do it in. In the dead of night like it was this secret little plans to to get more open they don't just enjoy welfare checks can you -- forum. This is its -- will bumped again it's Mitt Romney saying what 2005 -- for a bit now let him run for president. In north well first against all of that if number till all of all of you Republicans hardcore rightwing Republicans. States' rights politically in the federal government alone weaken the big bad government. You get him off our backs and -- Barack Obama says all right -- we'll get off your backs you can do every kind of while with the welfare thing. We'll open it up so there are an array of projects can be included into the welfare work requirements. And you go while he's trying to change well fear. -- welfare reform that that big federal government guy Bill Clinton put in place how dare he if you think I'm wrong. Fox News and all the things I just cited Fox News is hammering him over that -- saying it's complete. We faults. First Romney is a phone we are well he's running for president of course he's a phony. That's what you do to run for president it's unfortunate that's our country works second. The this is the they have a reputation on this already so this is like a guy gets out of prison. -- Barack Obama. Doing any thing to reform welfare. Is like a bank robbery chronic career. Criminal bank robber being let our president and the first place he goes. Is over to his local back and he says hey I just wanted to get -- all porter's. But you know why because she's just been let out of prison. For -- bank robber you're a little bit suspicious why his first stop is at the bank. You can't trust Democrats to be messing around with welfare reform. With rules. Do you remember how how. Bill Clinton had to be dragged kicking and screaming to welfare reform how we. He ER shot it down twice before he finally signed it when Dick Morris explains -- he could use this to triangulation and it. It turned his presidency around. This president. Panders on every. Issue upon which she can pander but furthermore there's no hint I mean that does the worst accusation your making -- -- Is that there's some kind of class warfare all we need is as bad when he shows up people you know people working hard in the manufacturing. Jobs -- this voice over is going. And he says they're just getting welfare checks and they show the woman toiling at the machinery. And the guy you know fixing the IndyCar engine they're just giving out welfare checks work isn't that mind don't Barack Obama. I I agree with most of things you say all I'm saying is being the intellectually honest and that's what he's doing the same thing -- accused Barack Obama of doing as far as class warfare -- I don't think it's just now -- I have a different version of America Barack Obama album Barack Obama says something like -- -- that and you get all over his case and I agree with -- I'm not saying what the did you did a bill that comment was. Was okay for Mitt Romney is the same thing just in a different a different way. Column out on it at least I know enough to Colorado well as soon as he does something like that I will call amount by the way this -- this letter that Barack Obama that the states of romance of Barack Obama's administration asking from for the waiver. The letter does not unilaterally repeal or wave -- Lar instead it gives the states the chance to make changes to their welfare programs. And still be counted as meeting work participation requirements. In 2005. Mitt Romney signed a letter. As it did to the doomed to the White House had said quote. Increased a waiver authority and other features of the senate bill were important aspects of moving recipients from welfare to work. He was governor of Massachusetts at the time use all four weakening the requirements from -- that this happening now and now he's running for president and then once again. Mitt has flipped his mind and change it because of who is running in front of no that's all for a -- -- committee class -- the way you do you know -- -- class warfare here right if you haven't explained that you keep saying I I was told you when you lying and saying they're just sending out welfare checks and the vision on the -- -- people working hard like. And and and fit the message that is implied you know working hard and -- stealing your money and sending it to those black back Falwell does not as exact -- -- -- there's no -- start of the net dot dot but the this this little racial. References and here. And there's no reason to a so -- especially since the majority of people on welfare are white you're the one being prejudiced. By assuming that it's a reference to black people but the Mitt Romney. As governor is different from Mitt Romney as candidate for president this -- different role as governor he might have felt compelled to send that Hillary god. So he has no core convictions she's allowed to know he's allowed a flip and flop of Barack Obama ought to just I think in the senate. You do you -- every day because he's not for now I would tell you that it doesn't even matter. If if Mitt Romney has flip flopping on this the point is is he had valid or not and I think it's a valid criticism of the president who was against welfare reform. And news on the side of people like Deval Patrick to pick -- The Herald today about the big push to get. Welfare recipients registered to vote. These people are inherently corrupt and they fix the system by taking our money to pay their voters Ed you're on W are -- good morning. -- -- Then we had to push a button. -- isn't -- no we got a call. We've had a couple of calls are in the strike Jim and Jim your next anarchy Ohio. Didn't aren't good you look -- you guys are right on this on this situation. I'm -- the big -- here it is federal funding that these programs without at this stage will never be able -- -- grip you know. That goal could cut. That's number one but number -- with a -- now why you bring that up and loans. At low speed. Because it looks like where you can bet that it's up to the stage toward a lot. Let the cold -- or not but you can -- he can't do that huge. A I'm not but I. Get federal money -- support these programs that I'm more people we go where it came. On the money we'd get right in the public believe that probably helped polish stage crapshoot and all that is probably not a bad. -- -- -- -- -- Well they -- any interest. Take away are required to put it always how ya -- right on that fact this year like Democrats like to do. I'm but I don't see racism and that at all I mean job I -- I don't see any real I walk but I do they do something that was done. Truly a legitimately and another lucky now. Personally I relish it -- -- -- restriction possible. Unless you know the people I'm need to go to work at it leaving it up Kurdish state. It's much -- your local -- you -- the. A little suspicious that a couple months before an election. That the president would be weakening standards for some states. On welfare requirements. Ahead and -- in this part of a pattern of him are under patent to pander to voting blocs. Active and -- which are beginning -- matter appearing only because he can't take out. This you know look at the economy is it is now -- people gonna go to work. Jim that's nobody's responsibility. Except their own what do you mean it's a little suspicious that he's doing this now and an election year for states that my -- you're implying that for states that will help him. Now -- it's a -- -- pandering to. Republican governor his phone into my number I have asked him for his voting -- why -- governor there how is governor of you are his voting -- that's why he's and -- -- all the so when they become easily Allstate. Democrats. Depending you know national elections the Democrats never win the white vote. The way they get elected. Is by energizing. Minority votes special interest votes sort of like everybody in southern strategy type of thing. They pay off I was flesh out there now owns on the black interest. Voters so when was the last time the Republicans on the black and I'll probably never flipped the script of the Democrats never win the white voters as you're saying they pin -- there. Who -- the Republicans -- who do they not -- and then -- they pander to who you tell me -- -- your strategy that Nixon made -- today pander to that they -- -- to the middle class white working people they pander to. What the Democrats do is they take our money. They run our country into debt. They're running our country into bankruptcy. In order to shake our money. To send to bear. Voters that's the problem with the scam of course Republicans have a base Republicans are -- business. -- Isn't that nasty of them Republicans are tight with the people who make the economy grow and give us jobs. And Democrats are tight with the leeches who take the money off the productive. That's the difference right -- between the two parties I'll take the party panders to the prototype of productivity in our society any day of the week. -- you're an ark you know his line one working what's going on -- -- I'm where I had I gotta get -- -- seeing fellow -- because sheik Egypt world. This incident that they've got any got an indoctrination checked. -- -- -- Thought the battle for republics of the aggressors in the flower Piven strategy which we certainly couldn't do it -- Italy sixty. So all all what they thought they were welfare programs it was almost it's it's all of all it's doing nothing are you vote with the Democrats side with the EP. It well -- it. That's strategy I don't know why do you site that I mean there's no evidence anybody's doing and I did the theory exists the idea was that was to destroy our society. By overwhelming the social safety networks so they can build a new socialist. Our society the kind of Barack Obama would like Bud Day and I know what -- okay here's citing a without evidence that anybody's doing it. Because it because they're trying to ride the -- it's already got forty to 48% of the country is on Wall Street if it gets. Exactly. Exactly and why don't need to destroy our society they've already. -- Oregon won the game I'm using our money to pay their side to vote for them. I know but if it gets almost 52%. Oh drug or on the told them be -- -- -- -- that he won't ring again that's why are they doing mr. Moore they feel somewhat academic. While that is true Leahy is trying to buy voters' rights now and that's why. Get any easier on welfare requirements is appeal why is there but I assume that just because you're on welfare are getting some former federal assistance. You automatically going to vote for the Democrat you automatically some not so -- liberal about numbers the vast major that's why I told you before. It is special interest voters like welfare recipients. Like minorities. Like the gay movement. Everybody gets paid off -- our money by Democrats or with a policy that is aggressively. Picking out one segment of the population favoring them. That's the Democrats voters Jeff good morning. Good morning Todd and and let's not forget about your income especially. Public sector union and cooking. Our cool when you go vote for the person who's giving them something -- personal want to take something away and make you work -- That's that's what it's all about they've been blatantly can't be -- they're buying votes. You're not gonna look at some of -- says we gotta make it Copperfield to get. Maybe your seat DVD card or any benefits from my -- we watch your work harder we're giving you a safety net. But no you know workload are now you can revoke that vote for the person is that it it's good to win on its side the third or fourth generation of ball and that's what their job as well unleashing up the government however third generation of people. All I don't -- or -- you know it's -- need that generations can turn around pretty quickly. In the world. Yeah and that's their job their job is to work the system. They don't know to get off the system and go find a job good job is to know the -- -- you know. How to apply where to go what to say what to do how to act. And then -- get free stuff and let's not forget. -- benefit our car in some cases free cellphone. They're buying votes let's get first -- -- heads that's what they're doing and they're taking more and more and that can't get a pretty full and I'm trigger pulled it. Jeff thank you very much sir always good -- talk we will play this commercial -- again. Cooks he says Mitt Romney's engaging in class warfare and maybe racism with this sad we'll listen to when we continue on 680 WRKO. Your one stop shop for everything -- -- Mitt Romney. Proposing that the president is doing the standard presidential divide and conquer pandered to the base. Political move when he helped -- We get. Welfare and work requirements for some states. And the Mitt Romney's running in addicts are seeing -- -- are some states Allstate well certain states wanted certain states want a beta before Allstate's c'mon Allstate. I'll stay here in better hands exactly the public good -- gonna play out in force again. In 1996. President Clinton and a bipartisan congress on health and welfare as we know. By requiring work for welfare and on July 12. President Obama quietly announced a plan to cut welfare reform. By dropping more requirements under Obama's plan he wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train free job did you send in your welfare check. And welfare to work goes back to being -- welfare. Mitt Romney will restore the world requirement because it works but -- Mitt Romney attitudes. Specialist now let's face reality we know liberals hate this. First of all they hated that was being done that then Bill Clinton signed a little while well first four Democrats were livid they have predicted that it would you can aid the incredible destruction would result the families ruined lives lost and instead it was a brilliant six cents. We cut down on the number of people on welfare dramatically. And those people who went awful welfare got jobs. They need want to weekend welfare reform. Did -- -- I don't know Obama doesn't like the welfare reform law from 1990 subject. I struggled through the -- a quick and in point a where I think it's wrong -- right. Number one. President Obama quietly announced a plan to cut welfare reform by dropping more performance. He did not quietly announce any -- to gut the welfare reform bill. He was asked by -- Republican governors in new -- in Nevada and all over the country. If there was OK if they can have a waiver and some of those work requirements because it was a hindrance to getting people. Off of welfare and the Barack Obama administration said it's absolutely fine and I also want to point out. That governor Romney at the time and 2005 it was for this is who play a little bit more under Obama's plan he wouldn't have to work and wouldn't have to train print job they just send in your welfare -- That is not true of the not just going to send you -- check you still going to be required to prove they are working in some fashion. That is going to open up what the requirements -- a bit more. So they -- if it's not saying you can stay at home will just enjoy checked it's blatantly false and July and welfare to work goes back to being played -- welfare. Nitro Mitt Romney will restore the world requirement. Because it works -- it didn't work in 2005 when he wrote a letter. Asking for our quote increased waiver authority and other features of this senate bill. Our quote in -- important aspects of moving recipients from welfare to work so when he was governor he asked for these same. Waiver waiver from the federal work. I care reform bill and number two. All this really is doing is giving the states back the rights to make the decisions for the people onset of the great -- federal government crushing all of us while they are crushing us by having this program in the first place but critical to the reform. Was stricter rules from the federal government about having to work in this is an attempt to weaken. Those rules because it makes liberals happy to give away our money were no rules Republican governors are asking for a non Ellis -- all why is he granting -- and why is he granting and -- why did you -- such a big swing state that's why. He wants to get the Mormon vote okay there were no I'm Kevin good morning RR KO. It was great seeing you guys said the other day on Monday at the Boston keep having musical is the time they banks. And I just wanna say we all know this administration is not. But in any way in the relinquish any type apology to the states and turn it over and what cookies to win these -- and it's all been. He is supposed pollen into the state of things calm and Alou there's the end that's not -- -- that this is a response. Okay to get the numbers sound of unemployment come November of this X 89 days from now. All right that is what the main incentives does with -- doing to his base station says taught. Problem that accusation is certainly out there Kevin that this is a way to get. The tens of thousands of people. Off of the unemployment rolls and the you know I wouldn't put them put it past them one bit any thing. This administration can do to -- Nagel a victory. It will do -- your next NW RQ thanks Kevin for the call. In 1996. -- Clinton said I would Indian Wells spirit we know. He also added an educational component. -- who. -- he had worked twenty hours a week he had to go to school. -- training for jobs -- But -- is now and job training use. Yeah well a lot of people women would have been no sort of community called the Georgia board at. Both the education -- Example. He would the people. The end of the right kind. -- -- -- -- I want to tell you something I wanted to win this debate disparities have been comes from land and people should know. Have to lose money. But always to a minimum wage still want to pay them when you tell me. What I don't even use money. Not if I mean hey what makes glass of working then they would have made on move on welfare. Is always sad. Whose work I could have pulled him from running and working in transportation. And. At any point in food and it still you know what's amazing to think. You're right on his salary saying you should -- people should the it would they should be forced to pay people. Enough money. So that they can afford their lifestyle is that where you -- I -- -- right stuff. So you can you want a requirement that businesses -- -- more than their Lawrence. I want the education component. To be reinstated. So people can fabricate and -- the middle class -- Now let me tell you something else I'm. -- yes. The rain and I'm able Republicans. Balanced. By the Tea Party Republican. -- and seeing this until Republican. You know rank and file Republicans who just want -- Alienated. From the -- -- Republicans who support. Paul Ryan. Who wanted to but I -- food stamps. I hope it won't stay that kid and. Who who pays -- who spends one point three trillion dollars a year more than we have. That's what you're arguing for when you attack spending cuts what you're saying is you want to continue. Driving in the United States in the bankruptcy. With overspending. You can't make one argument without the other. -- -- -- -- -- I -- played only. Good dicier for me Jimmy you're actually trying to but I don't agree with quickly and that's yeah I don't -- the racial component of this is much into this class warfare. And jet -- -- way to say how. Pretty class warfare -- and it's a response. To what would be class warfare if there's any class warfare her so so he's the one who's changing. Well fair policy that would be a class warfare and then this is a response to his action. Yeah but the response -- -- it's really pandering and you know like -- clearly outline mr. I mean it's eloquently animal do you realize it. But you got so many working and middle class people lecture up. Orbit -- -- on the proper words and as well but. They have this simmering anger towards poor people that. You know these images -- being obese women and bit -- What cocaine with -- -- -- -- -- to the welfare rockets and caddies in Mercedes and at all bold. You know it's all bull but you know you have good people think -- the biggest problem -- know it's all ball. What that's how do you know it's what I know with a lot of these won't get people get the checks and then Molina can even afford kind of a minor Mercedes. But that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of spammers why would know more or write your way -- -- -- of course there are then you're contradicting yourself the concern is. That what's sold two losses a social safety net IE one or two or 3% of the country. -- a little help when they stumble right. That's the argument -- and who argues when they say oh yeah I know you work hard thirty years and then you fall on hard times shouldn't be did did every something there to help you but -- you find out. Half of the United States budget. Is those occasional people who fall. And you realize is a problem right. -- great try to you know what that little problem but the problem that the disputing what this day it's. Look at this -- Mitt Romney to venture capitalist okay you know and look a lot of jobs have been lost we did he struck gold they went overseas. A lot of these people that are on the dole today would have been working thirty years ago but the jobs -- gone. Yeah yeah -- and win the jobs called it went overseas -- I'm not signaling help Mitt Romney. But a lot of guys like Kim put the jobs overseas to American companies with interest of American -- did you all. Americans lost their jobs how we gonna get him back we're not gonna get him back by teaching more people to be dependent on the state. But the democratic model is to get as many people on the dole as possible. Because that's who votes for Democrats. But that doesn't that. Theory doesn't room washout. In this room who -- the matter how Obama is cutting welfare reform to keep more people on welfare in -- granted the waiver. Student to do this you have to show the news need to show the administration and the federal government room -- department is ending its health and human services. -- in being granted the waiver and having your state allowed to do this you will move at least 20% of people off the welfare. Reform. Off the welfare rolls into the workforce and you are against that. C'mon we know how it works cooks he they -- now we have the instead now that's or is now no now we have the can hear how we know -- already there is only one thing they do except for one moment in 1990 so I'm really -- -- there was Republican controlled congress and they passed welfare reform. Three times and they finally got Bill Clinton to sign it. Democrats won a -- that Barack Obama's stated his opposition to that and we know where they're going. I wish red tape on new in 2005. Were met Ronnie wrote the same exact letter asking for these same exact type of waivers to the welfare reform. So that the states can do what they needed to do to move people off welfare into the workplace they guarantee you on the exact flip side. Of this segment they are making now hideout. 61726666. Were getting our news -- are we skipping it -- who are we don't. All right we'll get.
