" Good morning it's 680 WRKO. Finneran is standing up so he can better uses diaphragm. Super -- His thoughts right into your brain -- you ride to work this morning on a sunny day going to be up near ninety plan on."

" and is this a fascinating debate -- I wonder if for no other reason and Cheney is going to be speaking on exactly the same subject and apparently exactly the same time as a Barack Obama it's all about gitmo. Which became a very fashionable campaign. Issue. On the left and Barack Obama used get home. I think as skillfully -- to drink smarter people into voting storm moved to moved leftist groups into his camp and his college -- seen nearly bought a bright -- myself for this a -- second or cutting -- guy we're you know -- Hillary Clinton in particular Biden to a lesser degree all seem to be kind of same old same -- and as if they were hedging politicians and Iraq was the young fresh and am I say this with tongue in -- Constitutional scholar high level read that crap. By the way are at -- focus -- because it's an exciting story now all we are always looking for a chance to violent -- Barack. But now let's focus again I mean what are the real story is here real story is that rock want to get citizenship and it by 96 yeah and it in his FBI director. Robert Mueller said. That's sided with the US senate and said there -- serious national security dangerous dangerous even have them in prison in this country are bringing these people into and so on American soil even in a presence alone understands -- yeah -- your saying have bring them in a high security prison is dangerous -- pregnant and into the -- studio interview this is -- in the high security prison. -- security now do you count it you here's my question though if you during the detainees here from Guantanamo. -- The instate tuition rate that states."

" All this pop pop pop pop pop pop out."

" Will assume it will -- like Deval Patrick moved to get them rights to a US driver's license in the path to citizenship a path that true and will it be forbidden going to be high speed line if if it -- is pulled over on the highway -- copy allowed to ask him about his autonomous status on this experience in Afghanistan -- every protect blown up. Girls' schools or something like that right you know what it what it writes will the US have to keep itself safe once the wackos get there there are terrorists here in the country where they want them. That's a concern in Americans haven't talking so aggressively to congress about their concerns about these guys being brought into the states the congress went back and give the the pound into the present the described above this is an astounding vote."

" Both put both branches and you know I again just so we can be clearest. To what's harking about that the folks at Guantanamo include suspected members of al-Qaeda. Taliban fighters an enemy combatants. Who best captured in military operations in Afghanistan. In Iraq. Those that have been released thus fox. So somewhat but one in seven according to the Pentagon about one in seven have returned to the field of battle. So it's not an insignificant number."

" You know these are dangerous these dangerous probe once again there are several areas despite his radicalism there are several places in which the president. Has proven George W. Bush to be correct and all the naysayers and all the lament -- all the months of hand wringing in contempt towards President Bush and how he was destroying the country and betraying our high value of shredding the constitution or shall we read about all -- so the new shredder and she -- Folk rock while -- Obama -- ID comment deadly -- don't know why Barack on this one he's not turning his back on the campaign pledge he's hedging. But he actually wants to bring them know your right who -- right so when this when he's trying to do the civil liberties. Moderate exercise of our liberties to I don't understand the US senate is Stalin on UN plan as soon -- personally this hung up on Guantanamo or does he think it's such a big symbolic issue. For the leftists. That he's decided to hold this one out that he's going to give them so that they don't mind that got a one track yeah trashed him on and on on any number of other thing is very strange but one detainee insulated to come here according to reports he's going to be brought to New York and and he's going to stand trial there and I think today in his 10 AM speech what the president is going to try to do is outlined a rationale for why. Were really not bring you the detainees here it's -- but we need this one here because of Arabian sea. And try to prepare for the next onslaught from Dick Cheney who the liberals have been -- but Dick Cheney is taking control -- he -- then."

" Cheney has been the most visible most articulate voice I mean he's he's actually been more visible and more newsworthy and now what three months maybe I guess it's for months. Since they. Since since Barack came -- Than it was an eight -- Under George Bush."

" Guess one -- been everywhere John Kerry yeah. John Kerry carry our our senator go ahead one of the policies it's up like a liberal out of touch guys in the United States senate actually voted in favor of of this nine. Four standing up to the president not providing the money to close gitmo closed yet so 6172666868. You want to detainees brought here. And what special rights do you think they should have to make sure they have up public housing rights for yet."

" You know how you look toss that out to -- liberals yesterday in the code pink yeah based that we had and then there's the same challenge should be making it particularly for a -- who might have been involved in some of the pro Bono work program bar associations who have argued that. Guantanamo is a stain on our on our dealt a blemish on on name and reputation. So that I I I want to understand why somebody who's not -- United States citizen should get full fledged United States' constitutional rights and protections. In -- American courts why would even bring the media if in fact a high risk dangerous."

" People and everywhere literally mean why would I want to hear that because articulate well it's it's easy because we have no right to defend our turf. We're we're we are the great statement we are the imperialists. We are the ones. Who screwed up their life so badly that they had no alternative but to -- guitarists 6172666868. Is the number it's daughter time taking your calls let's go right to Elizabeth good morning Elizabeth."

" Good morning good morning thank you hey thank you. I am borrows -- look at it I'm outraged that don't even think. And he didn't come here and you don't have enough problems could be what about adding them you know I've bought a brand and the Democrat. --"

" Won't move but is this what you expected to get when you voted for them. I'm -- but why this was one of the stated goals of the Democrats."

" Well I can't I tell you. The minority and I -- great PM and that maybe the wind and I thought that maybe someone that would. Keep it more. Yeah. -- when he does not mean he. Have to."

" yeah -- what country you come here from Elizabeth I'm coming from Ireland. I am woman I -- it from an island you can't tell us which one pretty okay excellent. I'm sorry you didn't come here when you -- you were born here in the US news. I can hear it again and yeah moderate ordering this part of the US I -- that I can that I -- in --"

" And yet I mean for the I'm sad and disappointed to be honest I'm disappointed that I voted for him at this point."

" Let me ask Elizabeth the fellow. You know you fellow islanders a -- Puerto Ricans in the Hispanic community they expressing similar disappointment."

" Yes and that was my that is that people -- and that Americans. Hope -- Yeah kind of to outfit it seemed like that yeah I don't know advocates say the battle that you that heat when you need to get talent candy store and keep power running around that a little bit of everything but he can't because he has now. I cannot be -- like that --"

" He is doing exactly Elizabeth. What you should have expected them to do especially Guantanamo where he talked about this during the campaign so next time you know what to do pay attention you know with the don't -- your emotions is the difference. He cannot vote present as commander in chief he's going to make a decision in every decision -- talked about the issue and I've talked about this quite a bit. Every decision angers -- every decision disappoints. So I don't think that's the issue here and naysayers. The issue here is that he is this is his belief system being carried out so Elizabeth should be surprise a lot of that by the way system has always been to be politically nimble and not to get caught his beliefs as."

" It was also is beyond clearly stated -- to close Guantanamo and it was a blight on the country so you're applying that thing in the wrong moment saver for a little later I don't think so yeah no doubt he would prefer it to -- he kind plug again okay and that's Evans that's a given -- right. You're right Elizabeth is the first female construction worker I think we -- going to call choose right there on the site -- and naysayers who tell him daily an accident WRQ oh good morning. Hey -- good morning."

" I have a question remember that yes is he going to component have to go back reportedly well. Well do you don't like that she's in the."

" I don't know I'm at my point."

" Barack Obama. But not pretty not to a lot of information. When he was running for president. He didn't find out until he became -- And a book I don't know I didn't --"

" I'm not that much anyone with half a brain in their headgear would know that we need Guantanamo it's not -- complicated. John employ your WR yup thank you for the call --"

" I was Elizabeth I want to remain a forward that through it all the benefits."

" They do get a lot of benefits and it and I -- they're not coming instead."

" Props saying that closing Guantanamo Bay because then not Guantanamo Bay has been a stronghold since the beta of it they're closing camp extreme of what they're trying to close."

" All of saw a little remained sorry no using spousal vernacular now it's not scheduled an -- that was the support speak I write there's this new whose words it's it's it's not a joke in it but -- You put -- guys and president and where they run that group from. From -- you put these guys and as a human that they will not only be running things that already includes -- they'll they'll recruit yeah. There and presidents would be listening and you already dealing with people who what disgruntled against their own country that they would not quite the idiots they do."

" Yeah the F -- Robert Mueller said exactly the same thing yesterday he said we -- as a potential risk for for -- dangerous activity as well as recruitment."

" Acknowledge them out last week when I told you Barack what have we didn't voluntarily I didn't insult was going to take him down what I need is -- the census I would controlled the White House. What does that tell you. First third term president wants."

" I'm not -- not I've got it well not going to have John and -- amount of money no way to know would aren't the only high he'll be tied the job and by the way -- want to go out and do a 200 million dollar -- Anyway I -- nobody got the first sir John Paul let's give me that again. -- That the deal."

" That's the 6172666. Seats sixty Brock Obama wants to turn the detainees at gitmo over to acorn and by the way the timing on this whole give -- thing is wonderful. Because. -- Councils -- something like there was hatred towards Jews and something no question about it was is to have an anti Semitic foundation and they know they just hated Jews America there was no anti semitism involved they hated jitters it's not anti semitism that's a jerk you're supposed to laugh and defend our laugh and we move on -- well there really is said it was such a straight face since it's such an and authoritative manner without you missed some of but the timing is very interesting because. These are. These are people who the Democrats liked to have in the criminal justice system they objected when the Bush Administration treated people. Who wanted to destroy America militarily. As they they wanted to be a war they wanted to be a criminal thing. Like what it what Clinton did with the first World Trade Center partners -- treat them like criminals don't act like as a movement going on here and that's a Lar don't want Laura to fight terrorism. Yeah yeah so Barack -- switch it back that way and he's getting resistance now from the US senate which doesn't. That's huge resistance nine it is -- you know that tell us a slap upside the head that's a dope slap there's no question about it and he'll speak today so how do you feel about -- is being brought here in this debate between the president and the former Vice President Dick Cheney Dick Cheney is. Winning the applause of the United States senate and the American people question about it yen. Barack Obama is director of the FBI is with Cheney as well. 6172666868. Georgia's next day George welcome here on the what Todd and Tom."

" Good morning I have the I have to relatives that are. Guards down there you -- and the Italians they're treated. Terrifically they have exercise their vocal -- they want they can read the grant. They can do whatever they want except obviously they have no freedom. But I have the perfect solution which is. There are ships anchored off the east coast the United States. Eight to twelve miles off it it's a retired -- There -- a perfect place to get them uploaded to the United States but no chance of -- Olympic square."

" Why not leave -- you leave them right right did write and -- to stay in the load you know change of location is somehow or other going to appease. The critics of our policy it won't. Or address and in this security concerns Guantanamo seems to meet to have. Seems to me to a worked."

" I figure what he wants bottom open. Specially actuary. He'd be kept open that's all right but if that they're gonna close. I do not want that the United States another location had been in the salt though. In Nevada where they're gonna put nuclear wait."

" You want to put the design is in there in -- tomorrow that put him in a barrel. And Barry -- and you come on this not a bad idea at all. 617266. 6860. Cave below zero W are you good morning --"

" And -- and -- they didn't welcome. I think the problem that the president has right now that eventually Dick Cheney got it right."

" Bit that there will be another attack. An -- then every change that Barack Obama has made to weaken our defenses. Will be cited as the cause and he'll have to shoulder the blame."

" And I think he'll be -- where that are around his neck for the next. However many years as that term."

" It'll kill the Democrats can you -- and that happened if there is another attack during Barack Obama's presidency. It will. And I lay you have to go that far -- nine LA and management of these jokes in New York who just got arrested pure. Imagine if they had set off a bomb in it and what that wouldn't matter that they are Middle East terrorists it would be about. Are we going to be tough on this story going to be when some -- about phony cries about tearing up the US constitution perfect example similar example -- the captain of the ship but taken by the Somali pirates have been killed rather than rescued by a navy -- if that and haven't Barack Obama would be having a very difficult time right now with the American parallel to turn up the cuisine. He would've been seen as the American president who can't even handle some Molly. Hydrants yeah."
