1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: This from Chris Matthews last night on his Uh Well, 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't hard ball, it was his election coverage on 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: p MSNBC. The body language of the two is so different. 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: You have this very waspy fella Lamont, very calm, very casual, 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: very st Paul's almost in the prep school sense, labor. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: And of course there's the small c ethnic guy, the 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Uncle Tanous. You know, the guy that's very much he 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: kind of lachrymose and his most almost post nasal drip voices. 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: But he doesn't look happy. All right. Now, Uh, let's 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: look the smalty ethnic guy, the Uncle Tanus. And as 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: I said in the last hour, Uncle Tanous was a 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: character on the old Danny Thomas Show. And I think 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: pretty safe in saying that Uncle Tanus is played by 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: Hans Cunried, huge hook nose and so forth. The and 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: here's here's Matthews describing. Let's let's be honest about this, folks. 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: Let's just put it out there. When you say somebody 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: is a smalty ethnic guy, you're not talking about an Arab, 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: You're talking about a Jew. You describe somebody as a 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: schmaltzy ethnic guy who is uh pulse nasal drip with 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: his voice lachrymose and so forth. Uncle to nous in 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: character was a Lebanese Arab, Danny Thomas was a Christian 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: Lebanese uh and and uncle to Noose therefore, But isn't 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 1: it interesting that you have Chris Matthews describing an Arab 24 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: as a as as a Jew on the on the 25 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: basis of appearance, Uh, schmaltzy ethnic guy, which I you know, 26 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: there are some people saying this, but they're dancing around it. 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: But one of the little are not often discussed aspects 28 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: of the Kuk fringe base of the Democratic Party. I'm 29 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: just gonna put it out there, is its anti semitism. 30 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: There is so much anti semitism today in the Democratic Party. Uh, 31 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: it is, it is. I don't think it's an accident 32 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: that Sharpton and the Reverend docs are up there standing 33 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: behind Lamont during lamonts and but what's calm about Lamont? 34 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: When I listened to these Lamont remarks from his acceptance 35 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: speech last night, I hear somebody assist a couple of 36 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: octaves and a couple of decibel levels before below Howard Dean. Uh. Yeah, 37 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the only is missing is the scream. It is calm 38 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: uh waspy fellow, very calm, casual, very St. Paul in 39 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: a prep school sense. That's a way to relate to 40 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: most of America. Chris St. Paul, What the hell? St. Paul? 41 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: It was a person. St. Paul wants it's a prep school. Well, 42 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: how many Americans actually go to prep school, particularly in 43 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the Northeast. That's this little bit, little bit of a 44 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: of a sidebar. Sort of fascinating, isn't it that In 45 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: the two thousand presidential campaign, nobody at MSNBC, Chris Matthews, 46 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: nobody else described Senator Lieberman as uncle to Noose, as 47 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: a Schmalsey ethnic guy. Isn't it amazing? So you go 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: from uncle to Noose to Uncle Tom in six years 49 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. Welcome back, folks, to eight to 50 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: l rush Ball on a roll mark in Bethesda, Maryland, 51 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: your next, sir, Nice to have you with us. Good afternoon, Russia. 52 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: I am a speck of red in a sea of blue, 53 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: um Jewish Republican here, and I want to thank you 54 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: for your for your continuing support of Israel. Thank you, sir, 55 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: You're welcome. I think it's it's scary for all of 56 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: my Democratic friends here that just don't get it, especially 57 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: with this Lieberman um result yesterday. The party has been 58 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: taken over. Their party has been taken over by people 59 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: that are anti Israel, as in Cindy Sheehan and Sorrows, 60 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: who happens to be a self hating Jew, they hey, 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: it Israel, they hate Jews, their terrorism deniers. And I 62 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: just I just hope it's a wake up called to 63 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: the Jewish people that are out there. Is that still 64 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: the best party for them? Yeah, doubt that that's going 65 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to happen. It's going to take a little bit more 66 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: than this. The the the the seat of this anti 67 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: Semitism right now is focused in Kok's Uh like she 68 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Han and Uh and and the blogs and the move 69 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: on dot org people in Soros. And I'll tell you 70 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: if you if you read letters to the editor from newspapers, 71 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: which I do, and this is part of the show. 72 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: I love reading letters to the editor. Have you ever 73 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: written letters to the editor New York Times, you may 74 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: as well be reading one of these cook blogs. And 75 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: and many of these people that write these letters are 76 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: apparently Jewish, and they echo the same sentiments that that 77 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: the she hands echo and say, okay, what is it 78 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: that's the unifying force here? And it's hatred for Bush. 79 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: And it's not hatred for Arabs. It's not hatred for 80 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Amadinazad or they has. It's hatred for Bush. It's uh, 81 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna you know, it's I could 82 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: say the same thing about the black population this country. 83 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: When are they gonna wake up and understand the party 84 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: they've been supporting does nothing but take them for granted 85 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: and doesn't offer them any real solution. It just uses them. 86 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Uh it. I just don't see it happening. I think 87 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: it's one of the most uh covered up aspects of 88 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: what's happening to the Democratic Party is how anti Semitic 89 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: uh and anti Israel uh, the the apparent movers and 90 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: shakers and that party are. And Lieberman's a living testament 91 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: to it. I mean, let's be honest. Let me ask you, Mark, 92 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean you you you you said your Republican Jew. 93 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: How much do you think Lieberman owes his defeat to 94 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: the fact that he's just Jewish at this point in time? 95 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. With with the with the way that 96 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: party is being being taken over, probably some because remember 97 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: the last summer. What Cindy she hadn't said about Israel, 98 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: so probably some of it. Uh what did she say? 99 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: I've refreshed my memoir. It's a here's the quote. You 100 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine 101 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: and you'll stop the terrorists. So again, blame America, blame Israel. Yeah, exactly, Okay, 102 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: that's that's uh, that's true. Well in fact, uh, speaking 103 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: of blame America, blame Israel, let me give you a 104 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: little thanks. Thanks Mark for the for the phone call. 105 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. There's a guy named Lawrence Right who 106 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: is a staff writer for New Yorker, the New Yorker magazine. 107 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: He's got a new book out and the book is 108 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: called The Looming Tower, which he calls quote a bid 109 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: to understand and explain the rise of Islamic extremism, and 110 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: in an interview with Al Reuters the fake War photo 111 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: guys Um, Lawrence Wright explains that American authors and filmmakers 112 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: haven't done enough to blame America for nine eleven. Here's 113 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: a quote. I feel like it's been a great failure 114 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: of our artists and our writers that we haven't done 115 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: a better job at looking at ourselves and how we 116 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: are and how our own behavior to some extent, contributed 117 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: to this tragedy. Our behavior, yep. According to Right, Americans 118 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: lost sight of our core values, especially the rule of 119 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: law and a code of decency. In other words, we 120 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: not the terrorists. We lack values, and we lack decency 121 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: and respect for the rule of law. And oh yeah, 122 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: the Islamic world perceives a pro Israel bias in our 123 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: Middle East policies. So it's not just kooks like Cindy 124 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Sheehann and the others. Here's a New Yorker magazine. He 125 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: could very well be a cook, uh, blaming us for 126 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: our and our association with with Israel. He said, when 127 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Bin Laden attacked America, he was posing two questions to us. 128 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: One is what's America and what does it stand for? 129 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: The other is what is Islam and what does it 130 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: stand for. I'm not making this up. This guy's got 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: a book out and it's all about how we're to 132 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: blame and our enough artists and writers blaming America doing articles, stories, movies, 133 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: what have you blaming America? The only question, I mean, 134 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: you rational person would ask or associate with the Bin 135 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: Lawden was whether we had the resolve to wipe his 136 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: evil off the face of the earth, because he didn't 137 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: think that we have that resolve anymore after Mogadishu. Is 138 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: why he did this, because he thought he could get 139 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: away with it, and so he was under the impression 140 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: that we were cowardly, we wouldn't take casualties, and he 141 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: could get away with this. Now, these blue state Lamont 142 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: liberals don't have the will to do that. They don't 143 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: have the will to wipe evil off the face of 144 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: the earth because they think we're it. They think we 145 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: are the evil. They blame us and Israel while doing 146 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: everything they can to understand terrorists. They don't even have 147 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: the sense to know that we're at war. And if 148 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: they admit that we're at war, they don't have the 149 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: sense to admit who the enemy he is because they 150 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: consider us their own country to be the enemy. So 151 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: when you when you say, what's it gonna take for 152 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: certain groups to wake up and uh and smell the coffee? 153 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: I frankly, uh, you know they're they're they're the certain 154 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: people are liberals are liberals first. Others are what they 155 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: are first? Uh, And the common enemy that they've always 156 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: had is going to remain the common enemy. But I 157 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: just I don't think there's any question about the fact 158 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: that that one of Lieberman's one of the one of 159 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: the um should I say, one of the factors in 160 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: his defeat was the fact that he's just Jewish right now. 161 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: And you if you, if you, if you go to 162 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: these blogs, if you spend any time reading them and 163 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: the move on dot orgs and so forth, you'll find 164 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: some some of the most anti Semitic stuff on the 165 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: face of the earth that you've ever read, and anti 166 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Israel stuff that you have ever read. Marvin and Detroit. 167 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad you called. Welcome to the E I B Network.

I was just wondered, 170 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: what do you think, you know, if Lieberman does run 171 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: as an independent, what's the chances maybe a Republican sneaking 172 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: in there? And if if they do, when is the 173 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: is a simple majority in the election? Yeah, but it 174 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: won't happen. Uh. The I think if Lieberman runs is 175 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: an independently, the Republicans might try to get a Republican 176 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: in their two run just to uh, you know, cause problems. 177 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't think the Republicans could sneak in that that's 178 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: too blue at state that that that state is. Um. 179 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean I don't even I'm not sure it would 180 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: be competitive. And if if it were a Republican to 181 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: be a Lowell Wiker type, you may as well have 182 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: a Democrat be I'd be a link Chafe type. Uh 183 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: that would that would win in in Connecticut run Who 184 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: will run for the Republicans? Who will in Connecticut? I 185 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: have no clue. I only know in uh now they 186 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: have had elected they they they've elected Republican governors. I 187 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: mean it's it's uh. I mean, it's not impossible. Nothing 188 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: nothing is and you know it's it's still early. I mean, 189 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,479 Speaker 1: as we know, things happen at a breakneck pace in politics, 190 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: and they're always as most things in the future are unpredictable, 191 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: um and anything, anything could happen here. I don't want 192 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: to lock myself into saying that no Republican could win. 193 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: The Republicans aren't gonna nominate anybody. I in fact, I think, um, 194 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: the the thing you look at as far as Republicans 195 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: are concerned in Connecticut is how does this end up 196 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: helping Republican congressional incumbents holding like Chris Shays and UH 197 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: and Rob Simmons UH. This result no question boosts their 198 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: chance of holding on to their districts, and they're vulnerable 199 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: right now. According to polling data, the Democrats have to 200 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: win these two seats in Connecticut if they have any 201 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: chance of taking back the House. This result I think 202 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: helps these two Republicans hold onto their seats.
