" Yeah."

" It's from the new Reynolds world headquarters building. It's you saw how it -- show what congress has approved roughly 200 million dollars for free lavished jets to be used by members of congress and the other revisions."

" okay. There's a it's a delicious irony in seeing. Private luxury jets flying in to Washington DC. And people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands and saying that there. They're gonna be coming down and streamlining. Their businesses. It's almost like seeing guys show up at the soup kitchen hi hat and tuxedo."

To the sour about how we car show was brought you by conservative towards. For a halt or right. Okay. Yeah I heard that story that's that is that is a really ridiculous as it tomorrow. Last year -- lawmakers excoriated the CEOs of the Big Three auto makers for traveling to Washington DC by private jet to attend -- hearing about a possible bailout for their companies. But apparently congress is not philosophically -- private air travel at the end of July the house approved nearly 200 million dollars for the air force. The by three elite gulfstream jets for ferrying top government officials and members of congress."

" The individual I. But delicious irony in seeing. Private luxury jets flying in to Washington DC. And people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands and saying that. They're going to be trimming down and streamlining. Their businesses. It's almost like seeing -- guy show up at the soup kitchen in high hat and tuxedo."

" That's Gary Ackerman from New York. It's the world weekend August now right almost this it happened at the end of July how come this wasn't on the network newscasts. I guess there were too busy reporting on William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana all that's right they forgot to say he was a Democrat last night when they. Mention that he was convicted."

" One I think it violated the rules of the house to do it. Number two congress does not need a new expensive set of executive jets. And number three when we meet again as a committee I what -- the amendment to rescind this money."

" That's Mark Kirk I assume he's a Republican. The air force had asked for one gulfstream 550 jet -- price -- around 65 million as part of an ongoing upgrade of its passenger air service. But the house appropriations committee of its own initiative added. To the 2010 defense appropriations bill another 132 million for two more airplanes. And specified that they be assigned to the DC area units the jury members of congress military brass and top government officials. -- that's great. That's great yeah. It's the end it's -- and this is this current economic emergency calls for sacrifice by all concerned right now how many times have you heard that."

Really hunter remember her. John edwards' ex girlfriend his permit his mistress father out for a mother of probably of his love child although he's denying it went inside the federal courthouse in Raleigh this morning a grand jury is meeting in the courthouse this from the and -- this from -- WW RAL channel five in -- was taken into a back entrance at the courthouse shortly after 830 buy her New Jersey based lawyer Michael quick truly.

I think this is a pretty significant step in the investigation should sit cured and Shanahan a federal former prosecutor. Some of the questions they'll be asking her how much did you get paid who did she get that money from and the purposes of any money she received. The China holds the love child was born in February 2008 that the name of her father isn't disclosed on her birth certificate. Okay one more thing here before we move on this about the way I mentioned it very briefly at the beginning of the show a few minutes ago. Wednesday's NBC nightly news devoted a full minute to a guilty convictions for bribery racketeering and wire fraud against former nine term. Louisiana Democrat congressman William Jefferson but failed. To name. His political party. It BC's Charles Gibson mentioned Jefferson's party in a brief world news item. The CBS evening news didn't hear anything about Jefferson's convictions which were announced just under an hour before the 6:30 PM eastern daylight time feeds of the newscasts in the eastern and central time zones. However -- court did manage to highlight how giants quarterback Eli Manning agreed today to a six year deal for 97 million dollars. Making him the highest paid player. Ever in the NFL."

" World."

" Brian Williams set up his colleague Pete Williams he was the reporter at the federal court house. Then day he identified Brian Williams identified Jefferson only as a former. Congressman from Louisiana. A former congressman from Louisiana."

" 1877469432218774694322. Who's big good column today by a judge Daniel -- in The Wall Street Journal. And it's have been jumping off point will be talking again about the town meetings in the the health care India cash for -- to get a hold on cash for clunkers in the Senate. As soon as avoid party finished the that the roll call on us so the Sonia Sotomayor. And she is gonna be the first Hispanic. Justice of the -- US Supreme Court. And up by the way now the used car dealers are complaining about the cash for clunkers. Program. Because they say all of a sudden they can't get any -- The with the price. There were the remaining clock ended 250000. -- are probably gonna be gone under the first the first billion dollars now and now there's going to be another -- two billion appropriated by the Senate this afternoon most likely. Which means they'll be another -- half a million clockers will disappear from the roper is. You know what happens when once supplied begins to fail. Price goes up doesn't it so clunkers are gonna be a little more expensive so what are what are people can't afford to have to buy a a new car gonna -- The figure they gonna be. They're gonna be up."

" Bubbly creek without a paddle. Anyway this is a Daniel managers column about the Barack Obama and his his problems. A very long time ago was January. Barack Obama stood the mountaintop bathed in the new light of a historic presidency and gazing down on a congressional late. -- float with content that Democrats those who spoke against him were vilified for not wanting this. Smart vibrant president to quote unquote succeed how we fail. Eight months into his presidency mr. Obama may do just that failed. Start with taxes because conventional wisdom is held for years that federal taxes must rise. Reality check number one this march. Get -- this is Daniel manager in The Wall Street Journal. I think many of mr. Obama's supporters in the upper brackets of politics war who work -- it to bear the burden of his sacrifice. By merely mailing in federal higher federal tax payments are shocked at how high their top marginal rates could go. This is especially true win high tax democratic utopia such as New York City. The famous ATM of Clinton era fund raising where the top marginal rate for all taxes could hit 60%. If they held -- taxes imposed. Mayor Mike Bloomberg is competing with mr. Obama -- a poll tax revenue out of the same base of taxpayers and senator Chuck Schumer wants -- them for campaign contributions. Ask these two politicians meaning Schumer and Bloomberg what they're hearing from this high value swap of the democratic base. Even the fattest cats in time discover the fairness issue. Taxpayers in New York California and other states at the fiscal brink or asking whether that rather pay a jacked up marginal rate on to death. For another federal health care program or pay taxes to support quality of life where they live. The newly arrived inhabitants of the Obama White House who this week floated the possibility of middle class taxes to pay for their deficit. Talk -- of the states don't exist. Factoring in the -- millionaire hat help surtax. That tax Foundation's he analysts. Analysis puts that top marginal rate over 50%. In 39 states. This is not says being a manager of The Wall Street Journal. Even if they back off the surtax for health care debate has made it clear the needs and compulsions of this White House and some loyal democratic quote -- quote givers are backing off or at least asking friends about no tax tennis say. Reality check number two. For years democratic politicians said the health care problem was about quote 47 million uninsured Americans on quote. Whatever the merits many people were willing to do something for those with no help ensure its. Suddenly these voters have discovered that Obama here is. About them. How did this happen."

" White House adviser David Axelrod said this week our job is to help folks understand how. This will help them."

" Meaning Obama care. It could be they've already thought about that for many people the first six Obama months have already been an unsettling Dante asked tore through levels of government quote -- They never knew existed. Normally government activity flows by like unnoticed sludge but Obama's celebrity got everyone watching. What people seem is this an 800 billion dollar stimulus package designed by congress afford trillion dollar budget. Massive outlays by an alphabet soup of treasury and Federal Reserve programs. Barney Frank is the symbol of democratic goals and then the federal absorption of GM and American icon. After all this Obama here looks like a bridge too far. They are proposing now the biggest federal social program in a generation which no one can understand or explain it which requires permanent federal tax increases starting with the wealthiest. But threatening to engulf the middle class. The harder the White House and the Democrats push this idea the worse it could get for them. Americans may have arrived at the limit of how much government they want or -- pay for if Barack Obama can't sell more but no one can. What do you think. You think -- were reaching for you think they're gonna get what they want to point to hear from people who who who laden. Word Obama supporters and maybe you're having a few second thoughts. Or maybe you know some Obama supporters and are they having second thoughts what are they saying. All I can say is I don't think they were paying very close attention last fall more than if they didn't if they couldn't figure out what was going on here what this guy was all about. They -- how many times did you hear the phrase from from meteor from rusher from anybody. The most liberal voting record in the United States senate think of the people having quotes. Kerry Kennedy Hillary Clinton at the time. Chuck Schumer Barbara Mikulski. Dick turban. I am just scratching the surface here -- final. This guy was more liberal than any of them and people are shocked they're shocked that he's not a centrist. 18774694322. I am happy to hear. The -- who were rich in a New York City and I assume Hollywood as well. Are beginning to wake up to the to the implications of what this might do to their Ronald. Beautiful people lifestyles here then that that that they are not going to be exempt from being bigger and by the by the greedy. Democrat welfare constituencies. -- your next with Howie Carr go ahead --"

" I know we don't -- it. I schedule many like semi broke into -- carrying his baby sitter and you printed it there was a real good. But this is about health care thing and I called changing rules office last night. And."

" You tell her she's got her pound meeting tonight by telephone right."

" try reading by telephone I called a guy up by two older I won't say the word is that she was chicken cock out. But this you wouldn't talk to the people if you have face to face. And they give you I have. No right number at that so I I can call in now. -- they've made such a -- on -- us concerning this thing and I had a couple of questions are gonna ask her with. But does that this told -- and fortunately even larger I was diagnosed with cancer. I'm fighting that battle but. With their issue. That -- talking about the health care (%expletive)."

" Hello hello -- get that out of there -- that out. Thanks -- 18774694322. Frankie are next with how we cargo ahead Frankie."

" I try to give the -- crude but look -- good yeah out. Yes I know everybody's mad mad too but don't please don't give me in trouble so yeah they want they -- you know I thought -- I mean I would --"

" Of supporter but Hillary or all Obama but I was -- like -- you gonna I thought. If I had this is somebody had good field prepared. I'd rather see Obama and Hillary now I regret that X I gotta be less corrupt than Europe but I guess I was wrong."

" No I think the thing the difference is that you you know she's she's married to basically a political gangster as we all know Bill Clinton. You you can do business with gangsters right I mean all they want is is money and power I mean this money period. Yeah I mean this guy this guy isn't he ideologue I mean he's he's a true believer I mean he really believes. That is you know what's his destiny to destroy the US healthcare system."

" Yeah -- as dramatic state. -- about taxes you know I got a bug problem I don't matter that what the Obama sure yes we did you pay taxes Ramallah."

" And then it doesn't always wondered about him to EAU Donna Columbus avenue once I don't know I see him sometimes on Columbus sailed right here."

" I fear of electronic market you'll remember."

" Oh he has yet you know what I hope we get rid of that thing where in the once the Senate passes another two billion dollars --"

" Run under a lot of films have a big he's always so I guess that's -- I felt here Democrats yeah."

" Thanks with a golf Frankie 18774694322. Chris you're next with how we cargo ahead crest."

" I calorie high winds also approached quite enough he'd -- first call was approached by -- seeking the office. To take place in her phone -- town hall meeting them but I actually got a a message that myself on that you needed to work contribute to that tonight which I first didn't respond duke. What what I really -- to Cuba itself Obama is so upcoming meeting here in New Hampshire -- yes. Well I was approached. But somebody in my account to potentially take part of that. Because my son had a chronic health condition. One idea inquired more into it I found out that the White House is going to be significantly impacting people and their talking points."

" Vetting you've learned love that's a good way to put it is is another word for -- censoring."

" If indeed it sounds like it. That's and I think civil personalized. I don't that is certainly not Michael Petit and in fact the law I'm not for hit his plan in and thirdly -- it's not like they're making it a very tight agenda the by way of the people are having their town hall meetings which really begs the question what what's all the uproar about the people who are just coming out to the meeting has been expressing their opinions I guess that's not allow."

" Yeah I know I know it's -- win when they exercised their first amendment rights as -- said yesterday dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Win do you know cry eat. Exercise our first amendment rights it's hate speech."

" Exactly and our practice said yeah that's -- the primary rhetoric that that would be coming for me I don't think would certainly fits their agenda and I --"

" That's good for you press one mentos in a way though it's too bad you didn't -- try to sneak in there. But they probably wouldn't rush out so I always get all the way by the I don't. Thanks for the cause call Chris. 18774694322. Rich your next with how we cargo ahead rich."

" They have excellent. That's good state you're playing the Democrat commercial -- the TV greater commercial things. Solved at all."

" I've listened to it again and it occurred to me that that's not -- try to convince anybody."

" Change your mind if they're just to reassure the dams in all their supporters not to get we need to -- peeled off."

" Yes let's say he's not an email on yesterday afternoon -- that's basically what he said you know we said now's the time -- to -- Go to war and you know we didn't win this election in the you -- keep hearing rooms in DC we won it on the streets."

" Well I think they're worried the dams are worried about losing their own people now."

" Well I again as The Wall Street Journal said yesterday I think they've reached is that there's so ideologically committed -- at the top leadership of the party. They're they're so far a total -- that they don't even mind sacrifice and a few dozen of the a blue dog Democrats you know."

" Both they're ideologues or they're just pulled her to possibly be bid to fit to be both."

" I think to be that much of an ideologues on the on the left it it it it means -- who really haven't been studying. Event it's very closely so maybe maybe it's both I guess."

" Did they not comprehend what's gonna happen or they just think the ends justify the means."

" I I I don't know why I don't get I mean I'm just. I'm just a guy who wants to war it once things to go smoothly for me and and to a lesser extent for everybody else and I I just can't imagine how warning that health care system is gonna help anybody rich."

" When I was picked it you around the LBJ days and I was just is that Mike day got pretty cranked up about the great society and I never did understand at least back then but -- can kind of understand it because I'm going through pretty much same thing probably works."

" Right well you know the old joke about the great society the war on poverty. Not war on -- yes the war on poverty is over poverty one."

" You know if you take a look at bureau of census statistics of the poverty rate over time from the fifties on up. As soon as -- six before the great society is just flattened out and stop drop and it -- then 8910% little bit of wiggle but is never got lower."

" Thank you LBJ. Or at thank you LBJ I said oh yeah and our second no no no I say no idea LBJ you don't -- it's weird that the there's a guy they never mention -- democratic conventions. And I'm not talking about John Edwards I'm talking about LBJ. Thanks for the call rich 18774694322. On -- AM succeeding W Ontario."

" One 877469432218774694322. These at town meetings or are going on I just got one for I just got an email from one of our listeners in Vermont. Just got back from congressman not Peter Welch is so called town hall meeting this afternoon in derby Vermont. In northern most four model on the Quebec border. Let's see in fairness to congressman -- district is the entire state of Vermont so I assume this is just one of many meetings. This morning I got an email blast from the off from his office announcing that town meeting so called. There was no other advance notice but for small -- this morning on page seven of the twelve page -- you local newspaper it was as though congressman Welch Welch didn't want any constituents in this town meeting. And it gets even better. This power at that town meeting so called. It was held in the parking lot of -- local convenience store. There was no place for the older people or those with recently replaced hips to sit in the traffic noise even in derby Vermont was an absolute pain in the rear end. About fifty people showed up. Congressman Welch took questions mostly about health care than ask for show of hands which of the meeting attendees was in favor of Obama care. The results word 24 and 48 against or 986%. A lot like how people. -- When asked whether -- such a rush to pass the bill but congressman claimed that congress quote held it up on quote so they could spend August talking about what their constituents. As I looked around the assembled group I knew almost all of the -- local business owner in the small community he's from Newport Vermont for the life of me I couldn't find any insurance industry plants at the town meeting so called. And no -- then activists."

" Okay 18774. There there are so many stories about these town meetings today here's here's an idea of just -- appoint them. More rock Arkansas. And -- Little Rock crowd heckled and shouted at two Arkansas democratic congressman yesterday accusing them of supporting a government backed health plan would take away americans' personal choice and freedom. At one point US -- Mike Ross sat with his head in his hands while the crowd shouted he and fellow democratic rep Vick Snider told audience members that they wouldn't support a government run single Payer health insurance plan. But that's what Obama wanted an audience member shouted. Leading to more heckling."

" So all this is a diversion. -- by the people who want to frankly. Okay President Obama you've heard the Republican senator McCain's -- say let's make this. Obama's motto let's break came. This is about and by the way I saw some of the clips of people storming this panel meetings the last time I saw a well dressed people doing this was an Al Gore as it goes Tampa Florida. -- It's okay big time and you know they were there screaming yelling go back to California get out of here nonetheless today. Until I finally let the message you know what. Your hero low ratings from California should show a little respect and then."

" Boy you showed then they didn't -- it's still don't know organize his daughter unwed and I never reliance."

" In the media have take a look at what's going on here this is soft landing. Heard iPod friendly it's okay president congress they don't."

" Can't win nobody cares about hurting the president they don't they wanna be able to get a hip replacement when they need one they don't wanna be told it to school old and maybe you'd like so much -- Tylenol. -- think that Governor Patrick should wait until national health care to get I think he said why you see why what's garage Governor Patrick.

Now. Miami's this do well this is actually us if Fort Lauderdale. Confrontation over national healthcare overhaul reach South Florida yesterday when routine office hours. For the staff of Broward area congressman turned into more raucous protest. But only a handful of constituents typically show up at the White House's point public library once a month for work with questions for US -- from Ron -- staffers. Often questions about Social Security checks -- passport applications. This time about a hundred people packed the room for two hours. The group was rowdy rude and fired up about health care where the hell is color line."

" It demanded Republican activist Ana Gomez Malan even though the congressman was not scheduled to be there. Others branded him a coward and a Communist. In north Florida. In New Yorker congressman had to be escorted to his car by police. Can won more than we'll go back that a phone lines. This is from the west coast. Over ten years in congress US rep Brian Baird has stayed tethered to his district flying back to southwest Washington for more than 300 sometimes bruising town hall meetings during congressional recesses. This year he's literally decided to phone it and instead of appearing in person work quote on quote extremists. Would have quote the chance to shout and make YouTube videos on quote. Baird said yesterday he's holding what he calls telephone town halls instead. Baird said he's using the new system because he fears his political opponents may be planning quote an ambush. I mean if bush. To disrupt his meetings using. Methods bared camp compared to nazism. Well we're seeing right now is close to brown sure tactics.
