" 18774694322187746943 Q do. Of people free number of -- trophy like you. Joining us now woman whose line music guy who's. Long time and talk radio he. He's filled in for Russia IDB's Russia's best fill him personally but I haven't heard him lately he's out of CN Diego. And he's the former mayor of San Diego I believe Roger Hitchcock -- here on the Howie -- show Roger always a pleasure."

" How it's always a pleasure for -- back."

" What's going on -- you I. I would urge you want to rush lately is a year are you were have you been black -- something what's going on."

" Well -- did I got started this Saturday national show and as a result. Target -- flash expert Hannity and and Tony hold whatever -- that no more Phillips rusher we're gonna -- national so that's where that way."

" Are much too bad does that bug you again I thought you were the best one."

" Thanks but fondue and had -- a lot of -- I just you know cigarette break out of my -- he would happen."

" Well I saw McKay you're in the you're of course in the Southern California and I saw McCain the other day said that he has a shot at taken California do you I think I know you answer but I'll ask you anyway do you agree or disagree."

" Sixty days to go get a shot I'll tell you why. If he had jumped on the marriage amendment the definition of traditional marriage which is proposition eight on -- November ballot. If he would jump on the securing the border -- a little stronger than just think. Secure the border many weeks three times -- and -- legitimize although illegal in I think Belfour. If he had just done a little more of what the actual people regard the partisanship you know average people want to have happen here. An average people blocked the traditional marriage to be defined and make an average people want the border to be secure. And they want serious business there are so. He had a chance he won't both of those accused of by a by a tepid response to propagated by is -- with this."

" Sometimes you birthday is going to appear portable rather at their convention air India opus which will meet his whole campaign -- been tapped that hasn't. Oh I'm sorry but I isn't denial it's a good at it."

" 18774694322 if you want to talk to war Roger Hitchcock here the the great that talk show host for months from Southern California who as a national show now and we've also got a book out right -- Roger."

" I'm doing a series -- 2000 they are the voters field guide. Number one was emigration number two of the war and number three health care with the economy account."

" I see I'm I'm just going to the Amazon it says your -- volume three is temporarily out of stock which is. That's kind of a good sign but really a bad side."

" I had I had assurance that the portrait for the publisher that Spirit -- that -- that they're going to get the F. But the thing restart apparently have not been hammering in the morning because of the demands you read and at that they helped -- exactly the first time. But you've taken one book a hundred pages in in big print all pages. And and actually understood the -- spoke. Well what's at stake here as we march toward socialism and help they're."

" Roger do you think there's any way. That that we can avoid having a Barack Obama presidency at this point."

" Very early to say anything about that because we think of any presidential and it campaign. That have that have you know felt -- now propriety of reasons that in this vault full year. I have to say that anything can happen between now and November but it electoral Albemarle Barack Obama would be present."

" Now who would you like to see is as John McCain's running mate."

" Well I don't know anybody would take the job."

" I think what I can I could practically reach of with a a couple of throws the baseball is named -- Mitt Romney. "

" Well that's fit our topic of any other choice of the what the problem is that McCain -- the."

" Now what he's saying that the in the campaign said he makes my skin crawl. Really relatively early detection."

" but -- you're right who's going to -- I mean he can't really -- kind of you know he sort of blow it by talk about a flip flop on a major issue in the state of Louisiana the pay raise for the use a corrupt legislators he said he was gonna was cited that he vetoed it I mean it's a sign of callow youth I mean -- Charlie -- in Florida he's that -- engaged now right Roger."

" I have yet to be yet. We -- these people are all just I'm sorry they're also ran. They're going nowhere -- region ball that it used to a guy with the Louisiana accent who looks black exactly permit from Indian parents. And it looks Bosnia meet sorry this stuff just doesn't law. Us well tell me I have no I have no idea I don't think we have anybody else -- in a state where Arnold Schwarzenegger knew it was our ports and neutered. And an area I mean the terminator has just been totally compromised you don't know whether governor bola. He's just going to comply with the you're so pretty and artistic we ought to have noted but could probably get better policy."

" He's practically a member of the firefighting squad is -- that's what he spent most of his time Gordon scored from one wildfire to the next."

" And it put him to go around topic dot -- is burden of a question about that that they. I think California is going to burn and help permanently and restarted last we."

" What's your what's this thing with the global warming stickers on the cars flower power -- listener would tell what did you tell people what that's all about."

" I've I've I've declined to. To talk about this on the air Howard because I think our -- help is already so dammit. But we can't actually talk about this part of it people look up."

" Well what it is is -- it's it's like you know one quarter of the way down the road to this thing that's being proposed in the UK which is you have to watch -- carbon. Carbon credits when you do something only in that not -- not forcing you to -- these carbon credits but they're telling you how many how much how much your your contributing to the alleged problem of global warming. If you buy a certain car right."

" Exactly and you've got to where Europe scarlet letter probably on the -- for your car apparently. Editor driving and that you beat that probably just going to be a -- bumper stickers -- should be I'm killing the planet or something you know like that. -- that the California how are we do we think this way because we know -- the wave of the future."

" Aren't a who is Arnold Schwarzenegger I thought it was gonna run against Barbara Boxer."

" I think. I don't think he's going to run against Barbara Boxer because they have identical position but. I don't I don't I don't rally can do it I mean. That Barbara Boxer sent a letter to -- the the form letter over the last week when everybody was scream and mattered it -- drill now lower the price of depth about your about five -- gallant. And and and she set out a form letter and -- we want paragraph but I read over the air yesterday. It says what you don't we shouldn't be using oil and gas at all."

" What Harry Reid said last week right it's making making us sick."

" It's it's making a ticket thrown -- tell -- but I had what are -- going to give up the -- short video that they -- relevant. The reality irresistible mad --"

" It's -- it's like Bill Clinton giving anger management lessons too well lectures -- was at the John McCain you saw that right."

" Yes that was good you know that was good next they'll be -- higher inter."

" It's it's he's going to get me -- for marital fidelity is well it's you don't -- about it is Roger you know it's it's going to be a painful eat for years it looks that way. For as as taxpayers and as as just as Americans generally. But for frost -- talk radio hosts this is this is looking like he could be pretty fertile territory here for the next the next four years."

" Well only to the most creative I've brought myself up against the wall and it's actually contemplating next year with the Barack Obama. Jimmy Carter's second term. I think the would be the problem happening is that every time I do apparently it actually happened that all in the Democratic Party and I kind of running out parity. To make my point here because because adopt all of."

" 18774694322 we have -- links on our website at how we cart dot com if you want to order -- Roger Hitchcock's book. In any of his books these the spiral bound books the -- of the conservative voters field guides we'll lead to we -- if you call Roger just got a lot of people tortilla. Josh you're next with how we card Roger Hitchcock from seat ahead Josh."

" Yeah considering that they years ago the Republican staff John McCain in the back could -- be possible that McCain has just returning the favor."

" anything else Josh."

" Yeah I took about a beautiful president eight years ago -- you picked George the genius bush."

" What do you mean what do you mean week I mean I -- I you know what a judge. I'm thoroughly proud that I did this by voted for McCain eight years ago yes."

" Yacht apparently apparently we didn't have enough votes on the McCain side now now YE I wonder what what the hell I was -- it's not the first time -- wonder what ballot was -- gonna want to cast a vote later on thanks for the call Josh. Robert your next with Howie Carr and Roger Hitchcock go ahead Robert."

" That they might call broad program is artists the -- on the -- or Russia under logic well. There's one thing missing I'm not hearing and you won't get done -- that they don't pass that legislation. Required the balanced view everytime you open about. But what about the voter registration. The issue. In Vermont years ago they began changing. The availability of that and he there were removed mailing them out of it Bernie -- office people. My mother who doesn't even know what -- the -- issue -- wonderful that is mind. People being registered where there's citizens and not citizens and in the course. What if the Democrats lose -- slim margin today. Or read sound like we did you wouldn't -- treasurer a lot of Republican loses he's honorable and all of them sort. I think that whole subject of the voter registration and voter lists. If you look at and they really need the ovals list of the dead people in the mom citizens and so on or November."

" Well at this conversation with the California secretary of state on when she returned from. Her fact finding mission -- how they ran the election in Zimbabwe yet quite a number of good ideas implement similar collections under California. And the the idea I think is that what we need to do is just register everybody and anybody who votes for the government party. Anybody who object is committing a hate crime and otherwise --"

" How do you have any Republicans left out there and are not the we have many more here back in Massachusetts and New England in general but."

" For complete -- were competitive about just how low we can go and registration."

" We were down to nineteen Republicans out of a 160 in the state house in in the Senate it's five Republicans out of forty. Five."

" In large part it's over your guys the other -- of their such a problem but I I have heard those statistics and -- all cable -- winning Amman earlier they did now we're. We only have about a third of our state assembly and an aunt and a little bit -- and out of the state senate are Republican left -- where whining of the going that if you wish that about Massachusetts doesn't like an endangered species you talk about the polar bear. But our Republican Massachusetts Tibet yeah and."

" Thanks for the call Robert -- your next with Howie -- and Roger Hitchcock the talk shows from Diego go ahead --"

" Like that I'd like to thank you priority a great guests are larger by two part question -- I heard -- early policy while job vacate -- 2000. The trouble with job McCain and it machine borrow on the Democrat side the side that all connected bare spot in the republic that the buying golden man. And he explained I can't help but the arrogant old man in the Republican Party all have. And the agency about the choices they can't help but I don't like the KA is doorway and conserve their right."

" We're going to torture waited about -- yeah we don't blah blah goodness. You -- a lot of --"

" I don't know Bob -- but it whatever you're my reaction that. Everything is true about it in a minute circuit -- a true."

" If you are at all concerned about the Supreme Court and I really -- that they were only five to four. To a third and individual liberty in the Second Amendment which if you read anything about the constitutional convention you'll find out. All of the bill of rights are supposed to build those -- couples are the most important. Our our our art defined as individual rights and we still out of five before ought to reflect upon before voters to vote on come up -- So the fire before votes scares me. We obviously need someone who's -- point morally goes John McCain is committed to that I believe it and I think that the most important reason. You made yourself look I control my vote away and and have a beer and amp. And and vote for Bob Arafat whoever. And I didn't in 1992 I voted for Ross Perot and I've done my vehicle was on the air that. But all if you really are serious about the serious issues and the serious issues are the Supreme Court and winning the war. We've got to win the war on terror we've got to continue to take it to these guys toward bush is at the -- on the -- the successes in a war of any president in the history of this country. He'd beaten Al Qaeda and the body yet you beat them in the Philippines he's beaten them in in and number of different nations around the world. He's where he's been allowed to use our resources effectively he'd done it and done it well and never claimed that -- spent the credit. But the the point is that the the John McCain knows all of that and we'll carry out the war and --"

" Thanks for the call chuck and in the think again about Bob barker with him before you do it read up on Bob Barr. Although I just see them on TV and a couple of the it is it is more recent day incarnation Roger I think would be enough to convince most people to vote against a guy."

" We should paper and TV that it."

" your next with how we card Roger Hitchcock go ahead --"

" Keep asking myself. -- how bad does that have to get before the American people say I've had enough."

" Apparently are bad enough yet rushed."

" enough yet. What has happened what what has apple."

" What Japan did then but first the ball or younger people just how dumb down our -- by public education. Yet -- today actually today -- talking to a teacher in the in the in what other high -- high school. As she searches going on vacation in southeast Asia that it really. Where you going -- on economic booting Cambodia and I that are you going to visit on Norwalk the famous Buddhist temples there. The ruins of the temple which it said is the attic -- in in Cambodia."

" You know I IG I hear people say he you know that they they asked they asked for a they called an operator they see New Mexico they said we only handle American not -- American numbers."

" Absolutely look at how -- dumbing down has gone beyond the parity act and you can't parity is because it. It's real the American people have no idea about their you know younger people and argue about their history. No idea why were on the right side of a lot of stuff. That they had American picnic where -- depressed of America where where are open everybody were racist society. Nothing will commit to the contrary because about twelve years of people telling him that as they grew up through their formative years. Visit the country and being prepared for socialist. There's as a country that like many others in which politicians will make great promises like three -- medical health care available and affordable to all and."

" and -- short short change we don't believe in Roger well of course we believe we can hardly even. Whenever -- needs."

" Well what what it means is we will get socialism and -- will -- the forests and most of the people will say it is. You go to Cuba and -- people multiple state 'cause they didn't lead over the want to didn't fleet. The other is great I've got a 57 Oldsmobile and I desperate medical care."

" You thanks for the call -- frank you're next with how we guard Roger Hitchcock go ahead frank."

" I don't. I don't want problem I don't know what this does every time. That we talk about it McCain thought that by drilling the Democrats look at this stupid idea ever heard of because that they -- to eight years as a crazy idea it we just stop that we let him get away with that they talk about the nonsense about alternative. Energy you know exploration what what ready yet I want you back that I wandered back that it."

" it's just frank it's much as the Democrats what is your governor -- and on that issue Roger."

" Well he's -- cuckoo land on the through -- guys that the that the very good that the caller exploited so excellent. They propose the idea of drilling even though will be entry for five years that he Arctic national wildlife reserve the Anwar we could get. Oil from there. Within a four year period you'll -- help -- and it would be significant amount of oil and yet they're telling that's going to wait a wind power and and -- I have a solar park land reform my -- I have to part of my apparently both of hybrid. I have done what I needed to do that caught my caught the energy. Not for the planet but for my pocketbook -- doing what people should do. That it distinctive better product under the current circumstance that I'm not pay at five dollars for gasoline -- cut that -- I told the jaguar dealership come pick up the beat the rap jaguar and -- at a Toyota prius that I'm -- 42 would have filed for Dallas. Because that's what I wanted to stop paying all the money for gas now what we've got to do is do the old American they get all the problems. It all individually. It is spread apart guard -- you don't."

" Roger we -- awhile we got to move on but that we really appreciate -- being with us and again and I hope I hope blood they'll reconsider and will hear you again on -- show in the future."

" I don't put too crowded thanks very much for the up."
