The realities to try to ban tobacco to outlaw tobacco you gonna run headlong -- ran headlong into political strength from the south. And the tobacco grown saying how thoughts about so we're brokers of America what you can do I'm not a fan of because I thought at that time the children this is devious politics that's devious of course that is no it's not you appoint liberal judges who believe what you believe and then you get them to make rulings have no right to be making. In order to karma over time a behavior that is perfectly tell the label do you think the Mac yet. Studies and I'll tell -- It doesn't really have his passing laws that's -- we designed to make public policy you think -- healthcare studies that would done about the negative health effects of tobacco were politicized. I mean do you think it is a healthy thing to draw are ideologues on a regular basis I think he has doctors who tell you that your first question a politicized first question yes second question no third question now. America you happy how I answer your question you think that health -- the FDA's studies were politicized -- OK you think the doctors who advise you not to smoke because it'll it is. Directly how for the health then not politicized now. So how can one be politicized when the the evident articles it's obvious -- he's inhaling deadly things is not good for you don't need to study for that. Well so and so that probably you know I -- why would you would end up. The FDA's studies were politicized if it's so obvious because -- that this is how liberals do things liberals want to do things people don't believe ten Americans don't believe Erica this of the liberal challenger. Liberals believe in something other than what America bullishness OK so all right how do they occasionally -- they spread their infection if they can't go in the front door we have a process for changing human behavior in America it's called a legislative process. The legislature passes along a law the governor signs on that and then the cops -- the -- implement that's exactly what supposed to. Good so -- Aggressive excellent nothing liberals believe then. Can go through the front door of the legislature get past well no they did go through the drew there to -- the legislature in Massachusetts the issues on tobacco in restaurants and the adds to a cigarette warnings and all the rest that's that's neither went through congress or went through -- your warnings are it was a surgeon general Chara right he just decides he issues a -- and congress can say. You you can't do that congress could stop that anytime they want congress -- you know stopping things is different car starting thing congress can obliterate any regular and I want much harder to my charters All-Star dot and it hasn't started no not as a radio and the physics you know that come on paper regulating gets added it's easy to stop in my general rentals when you're on -- good morning."

" Talk station AM succeeding WR."

" What to do what they did with the fact he. And do it was so deep they wanna get it out of allies because -- sugar -- it."

" And and I -- night I just need a night off and you don't get an idea we really done night off from the Democratic Party the last her a couple of generations I think they are now wanting to control you drink with soda and I don't see any end to this if if they start taxing soda. And a penny announced why doesn't this extensive candy. Why doesn't extend logically to anything that is it consumed in large -- ice cream and ask you start with attacks is it not going to follow the path that tobacco has worked the task gets so big that it obliterates the behavior. And becomes an effective -- at which point they will pass a law saying it's illegal to manufacture sell or. Use tobacco products in this country they will eventually we know but that of course. They never propose that at the beginning because all liberal policies are not supported by the American people they have to get used to them overtime incremental lot of that is increment which is why they don't come in the front or use the American process provided to change of the lot there what they do is -- get liberal wackos appointed as judges. And then they use those wackos to legislate from the bench that's how Democrats get their business done."

" That happens occasionally occasionally and about his you know you we we you and I can envision the day. When no and it would be proud apostle of the next round following rounds of health care reform debates. In terms of higher premiums for road for certain lifestyles.

In hip replacement technology knowledge and they are also try to recover the Al Gore model trying to recover the co pay that they were responsible for. So on what do you think of a soda tax 617 a penny announce you've order against him now alcohol. -- Compared to what alcohol does -- alcohol ravages the society. Let's go after that most precious thing people think people really like -- really had damage but then what is the hang gliding penalty going to be.

" Linear here's another stupid thing bring it back to our conversation the topic is the desire to have a soda tax -- liberals are now pushing. They are.

A bottle of water -- are all fired up about water being evil freedom by out of a baby -- of the global warming negotiations right right so on the one hand liberals are trying to drive you into the soda because it's somehow we hold a viable model -- when you -- and now they wanna tax the soda so you can because -- evil leader acknowledged it it's causing obesity and they need the revenue is Leo how beautiful is somehow or -- I get the feel and detect that enemy a a Trace of what how to say this. A Trace of cynicism. In Europe and your assessment of liberals I never would and besides I don't believe and sent a sound -- I I I would suggest that I think I I told you before I could support this as long as the money's put to -- good purposes like running people -- campaign funds for non Democrats and Republicans -- or Republicans into just to have some variety in the conversation -- the other couple agreed -- and a couple of Randall short throws some more out there I.

" how many shares soda and obesity by controlling consumption. Doesn't that mean they're coming after ice cream candied. To Los acts as the logical conclusion and by the way as -- I mean I'm not done that China contrived this that is the logical conclusion there's certain foods that a -- so maybe we won't have a tax on asparagus or broccoli but we will have one I should say on soda peanut -- are supposed from the county Griffey a mayonnaise tells you -- right for a oh they have any peanuts but I guess they're now that's what I mean -- and -- and I guess that's an extramarital. How about if we you know you mentioned broccoli and asparagus but I love those are picked by migrant workers who make very little money I think only attacks on that simply -- provide them with the standard of -- that's appropriate concerned we should just -- everything that gets consumed to punish people for consumer and just our audience is up to speed on what what -- a conversation either the governor had proposed among a number of things that -- addition the legislation should consider a candy and soda -- way to fund some of the challenges that the state. Some of the programs that the state was otherwise gonna have to do without. Move the legislation is set all those aside the -- in a photo and that's enough can do that. But the proposal was still put thrown into the public arena now it's the journal of what New -- medicine yeah The New England Journal of Medicine new England journal of medicine is talking about what they apprentice study -- in what could be achieved both from a revenue point of view as well -- from an obesity -- nationals so attacks are you for or against shouldn't the government be deciding. What you can meet based on taxation. And once they start was -- what is -- logical place to stop I don't think there's a -- Hewitt stuff I don't know that there is an end point because you read that red meat to it you know -- beef for example is so not as healthy as chicken chicken probably -- as -- fish that you read that some fish have Mercury concentrations in and so I guess I'm on this show. My understanding is eating carbohydrates like a Ritz cracker job is it just is bad for you sure otherwise as in shorter. Or because the carves convert your sugar in your body OK so why not just. It's gotta be approaching or vegetable. Or it gets -- right. And -- and then you of course within the proteins -- within the vegetables you can have a tendency radiance I see the potential for an unlimited grown -- a series of potential for a windfall the -- but. Also politically if you're Democrat you have unlimited -- upward mobile literally out because you can point out here by the way I love the -- of the do this industry got to the Democrats the legislature overwhelmingly Democrat in the Senate and house okay they got the proposal from the governor this thing that you think all Democrats lost the dream about how to raise taxes they don't they looked out that that's no that's would you suggest -- I must say then you're contradiction is not a contradiction of and and of course they took the governor's proposal on candy and soda and dollar us said -- good idea -- edits -- yet it's in the waste basket it's -- asked god and -- why era god guess why you'll. Democrat why why me why because of -- when I bring sense no it doesn't have originated the proposal a half a I missed a sweep and they'd say they're much more about playing politics then even what they think is good policy.
