Wow yeah. Good morning. -- -- It's Friday. -- coach go ahead. Michelle is off again today. Feinberg and -- brought to you by network capital funding corporation your future finance I'm just. I'm thrilled that it's over both conventions I'm I'm happy because normal sleep can return. And we know back in our radio like all right I know you weren't but it that I get up the CI tape the thing. Because it starts I go to bed around 8 o'clock. And the good stuff on the convention is from. You know 10 o'clock on. Not that there isn't good stuff before so like I take the whole thing on C span from 5 o'clock on. And then skim through it and then watch the big speeches I get -- you know between midnight and one to do that so. I'm looking forward to -- you'll sleep until 130. Well who -- back into the normal patterns you know. Anyway are some amazing stuff happened last night at the Democratic Convention. The big god the tension at this convention has been is it going to be an all out radical leftist Communist convention war. Is it going to effectively. Throw a shroud over its true nature. And play mainstream and there were a few moments on Wednesday. When it pretended to be a mainstream party. And some last night. But I think the you know I I don't know if I'm imagining this I talked about it earlier in the week I think Americans are starting to grafts. That this is a radical party that doesn't -- represent American values and doesn't represent mainstream America. And I think it Democrats understand I think -- Obama campaign understands that it is at risk here. But it's doing it because it sees itself -- unable. To win any new voters and all it wants to do is get the base stoked. Because it's -- you know this thing in retail. The -- on sale. So in in clothing stores for women in Europe picking our address and they go running around looking for jewelry for you or scar for whatever. Or you're here at the convenience store. Heard -- rod CVS are you coming up to the counter that we're all kids need them why is all the candy right there at the -- One probably so it doesn't get stolen by the -- -- -- but also so you're standing there waiting and what do you -- -- -- year -- -- gore -- you look at -- the minutes you're looking at the -- -- can -- the bars. And you pick one vote. -- -- -- If they keep the candy it's CVS right there at the cash registers. And handed a note in the -- did they would sell maybe 3% of what they sell. I don't know I'm just guessing. So that's add on sell -- okay and the did the -- on sale is based on the premise that it's much harder to get another customer in the store. Then it is to get the one -- in the story give you more money. And that's what the Democrats are doing this what Obama is doing. He -- I can't get any new people into the store they're running out in droves -- what is try to come into the store. Is got to get stampeded. All I can do. Is save of the people I've got please -- In other words. If you support. Barack Obama already. If you're one of the homeless people if you're one of the illegal aliens has been registered by acorn. Under some fraudulent means you're one of the dead people who votes. If you're one of the people collecting the payments. From the Democrats in or it's our money but the Democrats you know push the programs and get them signed up. And you're one of the people on the programs say all they ask -- -- is go to vote a couple times a year. They need those people and they're pushing those people. This convention and was an advertisement. To everybody who depends on the Democrats to steal money from the productive. To give to the unproductive it's depending on all those unproductive people to turn out to vote it's depending on all loves special interest groups have been -- been bribed. The unions. -- that gave movement whatever it is. They are looking to increase the percentage of those people -- gonna turn out now the natural thing to do for years ago big turnout. Big turnout of -- out for amongst young voters. They're depressed and discouraged and cynical made cynical faster than any generation in history. Because they were so deceived four years ago about the potential of the first black president the first post partisan president all dot. Nonsense story lines. That the media. Judge took. Not a magic carper right on. All those stories young people bottom blacks -- The nonsense minorities. Bought the nonsense that gave movement bought the nonsense all special interest groups. They're still for Obama because we're also they had to -- nobody else is gonna steal our money to give it to them. That's the Democrats Brent nobody else is gonna fix the government. So it's less constitutional every year in order to take -- -- these special interest groups only the Democrats do that. So they're not gonna shift parties. But they are discouraged. Because they were promised bigger payments. Than what they actually received. They or promised economic rebound. It didn't happen. They were promised that this guy I was gonna change the world. He didn't even bother trying. It was all caught. And then last night comes Barack Obama himself well let me just conclude that -- so that's what the that's what this campaign is all about that's what this convention was all about. It was saying okay we can't win any new voters. There are leaving our campaign in droves but the ones who work here are the ones who were not gonna leave. The ones who were stuck in our corral we have to make sure they show up in this convention was about getting them excited so. Barack Obama gives a speech. Last night that would have do you think that he's even lost faith. In Barack Obama that he's lost interest. In being president that he's lost interest in inspiring people. He gave among -- tedious speech on what I'd like to do is play some cuts of him up against the former governor of Michigan Jennifer grand home. She gave what I think. Is maybe assistant from you know I've been around for awhile and I I remember the day is important when. Convention speeches were these excite -- being. Calls to action. -- -- packed with lies. They were packed with partisanship. And there is a difference the president. Spends his time talking to you. Trying to make you misunderstand. What's actually going -- so he'll be tricked into playing up to a voting for him and he's not alone in this. The -- it's done all the time Jennifer grand home gives a speech that saying we have a difference of opinion. I think it's a great thing. That the Democrats. Bailed out the auto industry. And she gives as we rabble rousing. Over the top speech it was just wonderful -- been mocked like crazy Jennifer -- almost RF a little her you have summary go Cox. But the people who design and build and sell those guys. Well in around these world. -- Harris -- elevator. And the work here is give fish and President Obama. With the auto rescue you know he's say more than one million up America and. Okay. Okay. Do you. It doesn't it -- in my brands. Now at home. I don't rest game instead of the 9000 yeah yeah and Britain's. Yeah. Game thousands labs and -- Okay. Okay. And yeah. Not me. -- -- baby so that's a former governor of Michigan that's what a convention speech suits some white gets fired up. It's exciting did and it's partisan it's saying look there's that there's a policy. Difference between us. We think it was the right thing to do to bail out the auto industry and met Ronnie said forget about it. I. When Barack Obama speaks. I assume his numbers are wise because every number I ever hear amused when I go research -- it's a phony number it's based on you know five years ago somebody did a research. And about some research and in the most extreme cases it could turn out to be that number I don't think Jennifer Graham Arnold for what she's doing is. In it needs to deceive us she's just trying to get people excited. And remind them about what the policy differences it's -- legitimate policy difference it's legitimate to say there is a big problem there is moral hazard to the idea of bailing out companies it's also legitimate to come back and say I understand moral hazard. I also look at the auto industry and say. Despite the moral hazard. If we'd just let it go under. How long would it take to recover okay we can have a debate about that. What Barack Obama doesn't cook she can find us a cut or brock's just telling one of those soft. Vial wise Sydney that he does you know he just slips lie after lie and didn't half truths and a half truth is being entombed kind to the present. A 10% true to 1% truth. Platitudes. Banality is. Key war it's. He gave a key word address last night the president United States it's just. Bill dubbed the language that's been tested by the the pollsters. It's been never -- work -- how Oden and gone through the ring era of the focus groups the words that are supposed to trigger some kind of saw. Biological response in your body but there's no heart behind -- And that's because all they have to offer the same prescriptions. They've had for the last thirty years. Have a surplus. Tried tax cut. Deficit to. Try and out of I feel a cold coming on. Take two tax cuts rolled back some regulations and told them. -- know that stuff is just nonsense it's deceptive manipulative. Nonsense. So what is the reverse. On the tax cuts what does the -- first of taxes. Of rolling back the regulations go ahead coach you player. I've cut taxes for those who need. Middle class families. Small businesses. But I don't believe that another round of tax breaks for millionaires will bring good jobs to our shores or pay down our deficit. I don't believe the firing teachers are kicking -- off financial labeled broad economy or help us compete with the -- The see this stuff is just inherently deceptive big government curbs economic activity. Borrowing money from the Chinese. Government means that money isn't available to be invested in a business. Regulation -- economic activity tax cuts. Shouldn't be based on need. What Ronnie is proposing is not a tax cut for the rich. It's about fixing the tax code so it's level and fair. And we can stop as a nation. Putting so many resources into manipulating the tax code instead of just paying a reasonable rate and everybody moving on and being productive. Now that's a legitimate debate but the president doesn't wanna winter that debate. He just wants to trick you into thinking it's something different. Then it is and that's why I like what Jennifer grand home -- even though she's taken all kinds of crap today for being over the top and be an outrageous. I'll take her any day. And Britain's it's. Regained the houses labs and get. Yeah and then let let let that Michelle is off today it's Feinberg and makes me Kevin good morning GO. Good morning -- -- taught. God. I don't call I have to go listen to what then that was cool you're the station. The F. I knew I I have to say that maybe he did and why wouldn't said that he's the first president in history to. And cut our imports of fuel. He mentioned. Some number of a million gallons whether or not it's a million gallons a week a month I'm not sure but why is our consumption of the importance of boiled down. Hello all over its. I industrials down. Kevin Kevin. This is wonderful when you just brought up I actually I watched the speech this morning around 1 AM and I pulled some cuts from and a one of the cot side pulled. Is exactly. This do you have that collects. The president. Deliberately. How it's so he's bragging about how the imports of oil. Have dropped faster. Under him than any other president. Don't don't deceive us. If you've got the best policies. Tell us what those are. But tell. Don't ignore the fact that the reason there's two reasons. Wary importing. Less foreign fuel two reasons one is because of fracking. The ability which of liberals are opposed to because it's so potential environmental problem. Because through these new techniques of getting the stuff out of the ground we now have so much more in this country. And the other reason is because this president has refused to do the obvious things to bring the economy back. So we're burning laughs it's very simple why does he lied to us about it periods. In the last year alone we -- the oil imports by one million barrels -- day more than. Any administration in recent history of it and today. On foreign oil than at any. Each time in the last two decades the -- because we're in the depression you don't. And so I'm sure our our torture excited it was a lousy speech from the president was uninspired. It was filled with the usual -- us and the usual deceptions but what was a remarkable. Was that he seems to have lost interest maybe he's bored being president you know it's too small a job for a man of his great abilities. Maybe he's bored deceiving people so we can't put his heart into it maybe he's bored with the whole notion of being transcendent. He knows it was all bald -- Maybe just bored. There is nothing in it this is a man who believes that government can and should do a lot. There's nothing in here that tells us how he's gonna go from today to tomorrow. That's Charles Krauthammer with a very good assessment Roger good morning GO. I did go inside -- are somehow audio. I'm doing great listener who the problem with this guy right here at our -- right.
