Played with the clock ticking we're about what twelve seconds he what he drone on for nearly two minutes with. Incidentally another criticism. He got to be kept -- wrong he said he planned to talk about. What you talk about things says some things that lay ahead. That lie ahead latest the past tense there we go up apart from getting the congressional medal of honor when it's a medal of honor and medicine Chou chief eagle brother didn't get it so much younger hollow log grad who could never get through the Latin school of -- wing radio era you criticize George Bush -- I'll mix hey we said we get right to the call 61726660. Execs they would talk about the Ford would shooting Barack Obama is I would I would say -- I mean I -- borders on treason by the president of the United States I'm not quite sure whether it's I'm gonna go that was on white wash from your black wash -- no -- whitewash and colony court she's with me. But my wife agrees with -- outlets on the hot -- great.

What are reset his right arm I want someone to get up -- way to -- that 45 minutes into talk I wanted to interview presidential I want him to be angry. I want to say some I don't want a president. Having street cred by using some sort of giving shout outs. --"

" It didn't do it for UN messenger always given the current what I shouted out very getting the congressional medal of honor."

" I -- they tell who's starting up to the same mistake featured its gates said he was aware. Okay isn't he wasn't aware if you won the -- won a new video --"

" Recipient TIL you -- Yup that's right yup right. -- there are no I love and I'm I'm not saying that Obama was flawless on this he clearly was not until in hindsight he could've and should've done it a different way but I don't want -- I literally I don't wanna take them to the woodshed because you know why IV. You're gonna be many more serious decisions that huge disappointment to us that that inevitable I'll definitely well we we we tee off on the guy -- winds are right that's our responsibility one heck of a rationale let's not go after and here there's worse yet the thought how. -- I tell you watch toward -- is a plain English and is visited an unlimited number of times hot hot hot out when the course usually when the worst comes we'll talk about it I do think our president has a big big problem what with what I would characterize this. American exceptional as a yes notion that America is an exceptional nation -- history although -- would blemishes. Including the slavery blemish in a whole host of other things although filled with blemish. Is absolutely. The closest thing do we do we have to. I human aspiration and human perfection I just -- into terms regular game he's not comfortable with that because I I happen to think in the academic and political circles that he hangs around and it is quite fashionable to deride and -- rate the United States of America as."

" I'll formidable lot of people. You and I included who were in the academic environment and managed to get -- it if he can't -- his own judgment and powers of observation. And knowledge. The elevate beyond what the left wing intellectuals are saying and doing in the as a problem but -- goes back farther than that. Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. He can't pass offers G got the wrong professors in the classroom. This is where the man is coming prompted those kinds of those who doesn't conscious choice as Cuba concert conscious choices of association a friendship political support however you want to describe all all three I guess you really younger you're actually right about American inception listen thank when asked about that -- every country is exceptional -- break I don't know when you fluently. -- disclaimer about we've had some blemishes version no nation that doesn't have blemishes. And not all the other nations have worst blemishes than we do without a doubt John with the weather out of action is not the issue -- exceptionally Zumiez and that's something you don't get from this White House where this administration. Here's Jeanne Apollo -- and one -- or NORAD -- yet again -- and -- title. Was she was talking about this before she's -- secretary of Homeland Security Homeland Security yup she described the killings as a terrible tragedy that should quote that's the -- tragedies he's won a bus of school children that some. Glen Rice singles off the road now -- is not a tragedy in the sense that oh my goodness fish could couldn't have been prevented in this just one of those things non active nature. This was a horrible crime. I'm not -- not a crime of spontaneity I try and that -- premeditation match what she should've said but this is emblematic of the administration doing -- and I know maybe she didn't have the right professors either."

" I lost well it's useless and this is getting into them that I I'll lobby tells the jobs that are taken -- call 6172666860. At the topic is the fourth push shooting not just president Barack Obama's. Obama's re max last week. But the aftermath of the discovery that there were frequent efforts made by major and a doll house son to establish good communication and contact. With with a fruit -- imam named Anwar all. What all lucky I can't even say it although I greatly unlocking AWOL AKI who who actually is now praising. Major Hassan as an American hero in -- raiding people as treasonous to their religion unless they're engaged in similar behavior this -- a fruitcake by the way. The FBI was aware of this. Contact and communication in samarra the deemed it. Not worthy of further investigate -- right now what that right after the could killings the FBI spokesman came -- said. This is not being looked at as an act of terrorism. -- That's absurd if they watch and being looked that it certainly should -- let's get to the calls ado let's go to Jan Jan thanks to Colin thanks all the money -- on the without being Tom."

" You're gonna come out okay let me put of course and you don't shook right yep you viewing party yakking it up only -- you know whatever."

" You break body -- break -- how do you -- Altman bomb twenty yet."

" You come back from the break can you eat better go back conducting an apple would you be so Paul. And the president are trying to benefit -- eventually I'll probably. Couldn't go back yeah."

" Actually right jam at the fact is that Tom would have come back in congratulated chief legal fest. I have a hot hot. Achieve field crowd -- Jin asks a great quick question what I want what I what don't wanna do is wiggle around here and be in one position one day and another position the next day when this happened last week I -- cooks and I played the tape. And I ignore would Don his reaction was my wife's reaction when she was furious she said this is so inappropriate for the pros and so on and so forth and she's not she doesn't should suffer from Obama he ridgewood syndrome she say if she's not reflects so I looked at -- I think we'll get -- a little bit less -- up. What I also said to Donner and others who criticized me was. We have no idea exactly way I had no idea exactly when the president was being the chief legal father and all the rest of the team yeah. And what was known at the time that it could have been literally developing was a for a five hours later if it's 45 miles laid out. All this is now being processed the president doesn't act."

" Is that he went right into without a break he went on maybe ten anybody tell him on the shoulder handing McCarthy he went right into talking about. The trilogy the image the unfortunate circumstance in -- it would actually know about it well he had debts net but we know what you get a snippet and then the story develops and develops. I mean we had issued last week I remind you we had to shoot at dead. We had of the one in the female copper took him down we had the the criminal himself major has signed did neither one of them are dead. We had no it's it's three dead now it's eight dead now it's twelve dead oh its how many words that don't already know including obviously -- president and -- listen really were not developed we were not looking for statistics from him we were looking for outrage of what happened. And by the way you know which which really going on here. On the reduction in standards for the presidency you are willing to tolerate oppression going out there wandering onto the stage. And talking about an Indian conference when there's been a Fort -- massacre which is why -- action Wednesday and is wait a minute sorry we just let let's go back door auspreys president's. George Bush the younger than Bill Clinton who was wink and at every intern in town -- trying to give up a blood allegedly given serious presidential remarks. And then George Bush the -- to be forum you cannot talk about a -- mediation in in in presidential standards. Mean fewer of them could carry -- how well all I could give -- coherent sentences but again how for the what filled with sexual and you hi I'm not a fault of Bill Clinton. And you know Monica Lewinsky okay. But I'll bet you I'll bet you that Clinton if he came on on that stage. Would have addressed forward toward right away and when I'm saying is a reduction stand which are saying is. -- you've had a number of years to build up to activate -- reductions been there for awhile which are accepting a president. Who doesn't hit the right topic little on the right words on it. And you're sure making excuses for him including that god don't -- him up now because he has a lot of work this is why I don't wanna become the boy who cries wolf. If every time there's a flaw this is -- not know if every time there's a club we get all of red wing and he makes a series is lush. -- no this isn't a shot I look I'm not about disagree with you that it's a massacre but I'm talking about presidential tone presidential present he'll be down here today at a funeral -- respect. He'll make summary Macs either to the press pop perhaps out of service are all so I hope we all reference -- and god. Good idea -- half. What's said about though did as the president -- double that considered as they know your friends probably and I'll probably make the -- that last time I was gonna speak about this I said Madison Joe Madison man -- got -- medal of honor I was wrong was the medal of freedom are now let me talk about Fort -- the let's go to Jeff hey Jeff thanks -- college not an idea."

" Guys. All breslaw here that before he can learn station wherever it's 45 minutes to go to the military serve and volley and all the information. Available to the president you name it probably -- and all that it had to prioritize between. One doctor Joe Madison and talk about knowledge Saddam and now it's up to thirteen. Okay good soldiers on a military base in America. Like someone believing contact and in -- al-Qaeda. -- this isn't that -- terrorism and he probably know little portable particularly prioritize tasks and wanted to -- shout out."

" You -- but seriously Jeff tell you why I love your calls because you're always right running well in front do you really think -- pepper that the president and I knew when he went to this Department of the Interior. Host conference remarks always does blow when in in -- through perfunctory things until the quarter would shoot it do you think he knew who. At this I had been entire medium look."

" When I was watching the news before the president came out I heard the guy's name now I know before the president something's wrong. You've -- military with a Manger famous wild Edison at their fingertips."

" You know I like you know you're here either. Challenging here's Tom on the -- the president might not of unknown all the details -- he might not have I wasn't asking for detailed dressed people went home update I do that let you rest and not know what I'm asking for the outrage the anger. The upset that I felt and on the man the president of the United States gets on that podium I don't care where he's even in an Indian conference are you expect him. To -- some convey that emotion and if somebody's -- write them until prompt they're writing."

" Let's -- I think what big Jeff makes makes a good point because one of the classmates who is on with Greta. Van susteren talking about some of the -- and some of what was known about the exact well let's go to that kind and that might help us."

" How much contact did you have a good 20072008. Just about every day for several classes that we had together for about four -- five month. Did he ever say anything peculiar red flag has said that drew your attention why it plots are the first thing they raised a red flag was one of our."

" First courses together was an environmental health class we have to do project server factual presentation at the end of that class. And we're supposed did some kind of have our -- project you know people -- talk about mold people were talking about water quality as well have bonded. Gave a presentation on whether the war on terror was a war on Islam. I raise my hand immediately by a question why and that type of topic was being presented at because it was so off Bob -- And it it was allowed to continue. Bell is a radical Islam group throughout the year he would make frequent comments that he was a Muslim first band -- Americans were officers seconds. And also that dumped. You know Islamic law surreal bought took precedent for the constitution. And so we all became concerned because. Very -- officer corps officer the United States that is supposed to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. Did you oil did why don't work."

" You listening to an exchange between an idea -- between -- Classmate of major has sons and Greta Van Susteren as they try to examine this on the shooting occurred up what Thursday if there's their last. Things are always having a good I think and enforce -- last and of course today is a two used as some are quite a full week is gone back. But this information has many emerging over the last couple of days I really do think it's a little bit of a reach to suggest. All of this information was in the president's hands full and I agree I guess I agree with -- I think there's a much better better. Hitch in tone that the president could've had it. And should've had. But EEI mean you're looking literally if."

" Wallace Tom Foreman no I'm not looking for lord knows we didn't get flawless performance -- determine her flawless performance it's a matter of being so off base. That he was talking about the wrong subject with the wrong tone when he got a Ford -- was job one end. He almost perfunctory and by the way let me ask you question have you heard the president since then. Come out go to the podium and just address the American people and talk about his outrage do we give with the kind of emotion. That everybody else all the rest of us would shake. God I'm glad he's."

" Well see now I think Iraq to something now this and this is the bigger problem I reserve my righteous indignation by citizen anger. For missing the big question and now in my opinion is the moment. For that righteous indignation from the president on -- we got an issue what have we gotten in Britain no we have not know honestly we don't I'm doing okay no lot of because we haven't had another Indian -- Doesn't have a platform let's get to well let's get the Larry before we go to break here Larry welcome your on the without being top."

" Eduardo guide Ali referred YouTube video right on the head topped the highly educated guy a pleasure incredibly down. Go to see the big picture here discussed mr. court released -- just like he's the guy he's the president was too good to broader. Okay it's gorloks Sesame Street did you just sort of -- even just soldiers."

" I do I I look at Larry again I'll concede the point that I conceded the -- how to -- I do think he is uncomfortable. Speaking about patriot American patriotism. About a a military life of valor in service recognizing that standing up and denounce and things I think you know the essence of political role as you know he hasn't so that you know we would have got."

" They're out getting the blue picture doesn't want to be the big picture you're you're apologists this guy if it does anything short blue -- that what brought this guy is. --"

" There's something -- must be called a -- Barack Obama anti deranged -- syndrome where you just no matter what it does. He would have gotten upset. That if a Christian had killed twelve Muslims. --"

" There are -- and we are Boston's talk stations -- Richard W Ontario. Talks vision AM succeed W or Kerio."

" you anything else it was secured to. Anything that stood out that day thing that really is now looking back we certainly thought so at the time -- other things is."

" Well well other things you know I've I've had always that -- and a human behavior class did a good book. Then he gave a presentation is in a -- But that's the fight -- fight -- while."

" That that -- his an exchange. Should be really what the moment that these kids. Classmate of a mission this time and Greta Van Susteren he said I have I have college friends who took the problems of this."

" Obviously was scuttlebutt armed on the base that major Hassan is giving. Is inventing these anti American philosophies. This embrace of radical and violent -- had a -- islamists of fundamentalism. Comparing. Compared people to. Comparing some of the -- the violent terrorist act of and in this administration. Stood in the way of -- doing something about it before hand. It's Avi Nelson Tom -- taken our call zero and -- storm AM succeeding WRKO 6172666868. The president of rallies and route to Fort Hood for services today we'll see what if anything he can recover from this. But when Abby Nelson. And by the lovely bride they want and only -- Finneran. Assay and this guy misses it now -- we might have the anti -- to the other thing the Obama to arrangement syndrome I know my wife does not and she was furious and -- all weekend long for me missing. This very obvious point distressing shows how emotional it lunch -- So she's developing. Home to arrange not so hot hot hot hot hot which is a justified syndrome absolutely let's go to Russ a rousing welcome -- on the without being top."

" and actually. -- done out the master communicated failed to. If it bleeds it -- there's no question that it -- shuttle can now try to shoot us concerned. I don't actions children and adults confirmed by verbal communication. -- lot ot bot. God is great while Sutherland a terrorist let's say god is great after the killing people give me a break okay. It's consistently homegrown terrorist -- a bit there's and there's no doubt. Anybody's mind that has any common sense whatsoever now in reference to general Casey. Can you can during World War II general Marshall saying. We need not cease from the military to achieve diversity and you know combined to brag about your it's ridiculous. I don't want to London misconstrue what I'm -- I strictly referring to brain washed radicals."

" Well it during World War II. These -- the if you -- used parallel story would be how we were retreating German Americans and that was like -- arguably. They concern that we went overboard that there -- surely know a lot of activity trying to make sure. That German Americans in the United States were loyal to the United States and not to Germany. And we uncovered a lot of -- the German wounded and operating here Hoya and and I think there is a perilous situation worked to keep us senator attempted to keep us on isolationist policy to deny FDI the draft and I know the alleged program and -- when we got into war there were there were shot the Taj elements working in -- country I don't. There was a -- five we have five or six Germans really quickly executed for sabotage or for espionage and sabotage and you wonder why we have not heard more from the shuttle shall we say religion a little LaMont the moderate Muslim community. Why aren't there more people coming forward identifying. The next Nadal Hassan sure in the picture are rules say that right after the killing. Share which is what HC RTL the committee for American Islamic relations I don't think. Immediately issued a statement condemning the killings and saying that the the perpetrators should be crushed and they should do the coalition --"

" Interesting coming here because there actually a suspect terrorist organization according to the FBI. So it's an interesting statement that they may know whether that was to kind of build a shield of political law protection around the monotonous god only knows having Israel have to continue to. Look at all of that let's go to the calls JJ KJ thanks for call and thanks all the money -- on the without me and Tom."

" There aren't. I have a problem with this presidency what can outlook. Be patient -- all. ET declined an indication. It's pretty. They decide to quit now interest each. Comic -- one boot from really retreating army of how are -- trust these things or not so much about the first street because mr. Obama part of their."

" Hot hot hot hot as we talk about hey should it doesn't help that several -- is that I have to say great not by the way I would it not be refreshing and we'll talk about Berlin certainly go a little bit later in the show but would not be refreshing. And he politically impressive. If in fact he acknowledged three people. And it cost political correctness will probably keep from -- records were given from identifying any of them won the Ronald -- To Margaret Thatcher. Three Pope John Paul the second. Those -- my -- may be fought like well let's get the ball and it goes for would be the four horsemen. Of the lie is of commune is -- good guys Soviet bloc. The Cold War and all that stuff of the buttressed by about 5050. Years worth of national effort and confrontational the the Soviet Union sent. We're continuing we're gonna confront you everywhere you go."

" I would head Mikhail Gorbachev -- onto that list. Because he was pivotal in in having the Soviet Union disintegrate. I can't remember the last time you sound like such a -- liberal when you say I hope -- Gave some praise. To -- republic former Republican president. During the course of the campaigning and he did he did make a remark about Ronald Reagan Reagan. Having the transformative ability to. He he it was that it was a curious set of three -- today Obama -- presenting himself at the time as a centrist remember he was gonna drag mattered little lot of red state blue state but we're all of about where all America -- references to more than a year ago. This is a lot of opportunities and all he's done is bash but his predecessor are the treatment that he is -- treatment that he is. The bond George Bush's predecessor and I -- press -- are beyond belief a fellow was wrong that he didn't go to Berlin to celebrate the twentieth anniversary. Agreed let's go to my dream to imagine you are an extra on the air with obvious it's."

" Bob good morning wanna I -- one -- I don't have a request that I heard the -- I -- our show. Psychiatrist at burger all of our troops. Or attacked the -- blackened area prior to even treating our troops. Eye opener right well."

" Not only that you're you're right and not only that there seems to be some anecdotal evidence but I don't have that hard yet. That he was actually proselytizing. That he would talk to when he was treating the social he would come to him he would try to. Inculcated his own perspective to them he would talk about why the how the war is wrong in and try to get the the -- are multi proselytize about Islamist well. So it it did enter into it compromise she's professional ability if this -- professional performance if indeed the story."

" Turn I think I think you're onto something because the compromise and -- professional performance in Nevada -- showed up and valuations apparently he got a got a bad shot a reporter a -- report about his his professionalism 6172666868. Let's go to. John Johnny on next on the -- Tom good morning."

" Great Cheryl thank you John. We've got a good partner. -- gonna hot hot hot hot hot go ahead Georgia Tech yeah. -- That I had just stick it should be remembered -- as tragic as this quarter or quarter net the the USS. Liberty attacked. When our military. Did not bring in response to 28. There are best OS call do you remember there."

" I do I do not I'm trying to recall the incident the liberty wasn't the ship that was approached by terrorists and blown up on the Middle East was that -- know those Nicole. This whole thing was that was -- those final by the Israelis. -- For awhile ago and well and John here John is gonna -- stock and you will not fighting it and that's why should the break I was gonna say I talk to view the -- be helpful to have you -- and are doing okay that is so -- and then I'll post it can handle like hot hot. Six 726666. In another John is -- good morning John your idea what I mean Tom."

" I don't that's great job. If Obama was truly don't the first and he -- said when he came to that podium where he wouldn't. Reassured that troops that everything was gonna be all right that he would get to the bottom of and he would not stop until we found out what happened. Imagine that the more light in nature and it has run out troops soul for the world to get a lame response like Seagate to what happened."

" We don't you think the troops were encouraged that he shouted god chief eagle -- forgetting the congressional medal of honor and you'll be done encourages the true."

" At least steadily the American Indian troops -- sacrifice now might go over the world how how are."

" I value -- awful you're right -- and John -- good larger point and it's of that this issue of morale. And the signals verbal and otherwise -- and by Hillary and her dad and I'd love to know what -- what the troops. They showed me in Afghanistan and Iraq but even troops all the places who were watching this on television they pushed and exchanged looks. Looks instead. Where this guy Broncos got gut it out he is the dynamic we all know this happens this is just the the nature of human affairs. At the what I call the street level the working level of any organization Frontline soldiers they know better than anybody else about the political correctness that is all around them. And so they tiptoe up to certain subjects and everybody's tiptoed around so much this this major Hassan. Can try to establish Gmail car connection and correspondence with this radical imam who keeps calling for the incineration in the extermination. Of Americans and American soldiers and American citizens as was said in that article by a David Warren I mean they they they literally consider. Christians Jews other must a considerable number of Muslims and non Muslims to be human filth human fill in need of extermination of doubles and retirement a bug run across the Floyd had to say and I -- and that's what I Sunday and that's -- and eight. People. Knew about it and yet nobody from the commanding general on down apparently says hey wait a minute that hell what the political correctness signals that are all around us but I'm gonna take this guy eight. To the woodshed he's going to be discipline no we're gonna do an investigation we're gonna ground whatever you do on the military court martial I guess everybody's in agreement with that where there's controversy is how I'll."

" President Obama handled -- when you first on -- let me emphasize a point that that happened before that I Patricia before. Just imagine how Obama would have responded. If a Christian. Yelling you know loser Jesus saves. Had killed thirteen Muslim rule in the then -- then you wouldn't have been shouting out and you know the chief -- cheap medicine man Jala and he wouldn't have all tell how big in this bland publishes -- well as horrific -- Then you would have seen some emotion."

" I think this I think on this point this example this hypothetically give us honestly you -- kind of put proxy in me appropriately. In the corner that we belong in on this one because I agree with you if in fact this was a Christian shooter who slaughters. Thirteen Muslim you know whatever their American soldiers what -- just thirteen Muslims. Oh ho -- I think the president's demeanor. --"

" Home. And puts emphasis and empathy would have been right on spot and it's that's troublesome at this age difference that you and I would actually I expect. He into reality related to. Identical. Horrific situation now you know how Ghana and -- and the other people what we found missing. We found that passion that inner -- that emotion. Which was completely caption in in the president's sort of bland. Almost mechanical response this oh yes there's been another horrific one of the favorite words. There's been another scene of horrific violence let's go to Paul Paul thanks for -- hang on your on the with -- and Tom."

" Yes -- gentleman one point percent of Yonhap all of Brothers happy birthday marine corps. And simplify up both sides and I. Did include the liberals just strip part of the Patriot Act that would just stop this guy. I believe -- itself."

" I heard her reference to this on one of the shows I -- remember whether was -- in Ramallah somebody else during the day yesterday. That. The this look at the congress stripped out and like I wanna make the appropriate reference to the provision but it was. People kind of acting alone as opposed to connected to. Two others that the American government will henceforth be restricted the type of surveillance. That they can that they can apply it. It's it's it's a good question and obviously. Time has IDR calls Iran -- for May have succeeded W -- back to you and -- and -- Should stay right -- starts."
