Tyt Hour - June 28th, 2010

trust well again every guy's foreshadow presents on monday would you have had i'm not even get your today it is about a stories are not going to get to do it but we are going to get through uh... that establishment media's reaction uh... to the crystal story and what was so we've talked about it before got theirs up graphic example today that they are the someone actually did reporting got busy double good example so we gotta do that for you the g twenty eric is has wrapped up and obviously there was uh... uh... enormous issues over the g twenty uh... we can we get were and then i believe somebody died yeah i did somebody down and it was okay right we're gonna get to that very very soon obviously robert byrd has password longest-serving center in united states history uh... and his death affects many different things of any having its own significance when you plan on one second well let's get started uh... big news today looks like for the first time uh... afghanis sell more funding isn't a little bit of jeopardy it has been blocked for the moment being now is it uh... funding for the whole world is a because democrats are that's it was not well this is crazy what are we doing here now of course that buddy it's that lisa stark nita lowey democrat of new york has blocked at three point nine billion dollars that would be going to com state department among other places for reconstruction of afghanistan so don't worry we're still busy afghanistan dump on here again is that but the reconstruction money has been stopped now watch she's as a very good reason and it's because she says i think it's going to a structure she is indisputably correct there's no question some of it is not all three point nine billion but uh... every single report whether it's the wall street journal the washington post or congressmen that are returning all saying the other corruption is totally out i hand and the karzai government is doing almost nothing about it big story about that in today's paper as well so she uh... has pass that on to david obey who's ahead of that committee and he says how much it lets you know it's bought the zone so we can figure out where this money's going uh... that then takes over in a sick below see how she got a reactive course speaker the house she says look that their badges that for mothers day that gets them that weekend travel in the country even more about what we've been kandahar anti corruption issue it's problematic you know what a lot of it is all the money news about systemic huge money so she's predisposed the blocking that funding for now now of course gas main musha block although funding of course for democrats that's a bridge too far as they say aditi twenty-some-odd one bottle bombers that's about the issue he says well look at least obsessing over this if you want to leave it there is a death this is how long this whatever we lost over a thousand uh... men in and women in that war with fed over a trillion dollars in both wars combined yeah i'm sorry for obsessing about it and by the way you just fire near top general there and all of his man in that same oldest auto cookbook state but there was a lot worse than we even realize in america then when they asked or bob i think what what what about the timeline here we really get now by july uh... twenty eleven press he said they were obsessed and second of all he gives you a general sense that we will he he's of course middleware as always for obama when we won't be people coming out right away that's absurd right and i've got a flavor absurd in other words out working at all corner every source we've got in there uh... and he says the and we will be lee staying there forever welfare desk oakbrook middle of the road so other articles uh... are saying that they're putting a timeline about five years so we're there for another five years now mister closes his look we gotta get serious about beginning withdrawal in twenty eleven and i'm not playing my guess is she is play if a history is any guide to what the democrats are going to do about wars bellhop but they'll pop and then at the end they'll give the executive branch what ever they want so is but i'll be in profit thing that really put me out is i know it's just a terrible well obi-wan afghanistan said and i have a crystal ball as it would have it well that before that's literally in sakhalin what george w_ bush said about the raquo and but don't worry of mama said were making proc mandela's party as chile so i we swapped iraq for afghanistan even though except we agree with that is directed sometimes i get this claret so now the the finally on the three point nine billion dollars my god man it most so let's say we pulled it in his value in that but please please please don't keep bombing them and then not provide any reconstruction so all the bridges that we promise in the schools on the roads it we don't deliver those and all we do is just increase the war in napa tracer saying is terribly gonna make it tougher aluminum come to their house but nonsensical nonsense right before we doing here dot name family every edges let me this s my frustration right and a reason is am every single article i read award-winning i don't know i'll what sweating i uh... what we may get in a stand-alone more stable is so now all twiddle bomb was asked about it when it is at all dot k dot in that pakistan his like uh... yeah but that's it with it make sure that we save afghanistan because we don't have coming back in afghanistan and providing a sticker base proper which they can do terrorist attack ok we'll cut their some justification that there's some reality in that though flip-side of that is well under that logic don't we have to invade every country and occupied around pakistan okay well you know they could go to other countries or kurdistan database there occurrences in a lot of trouble there's a lot of theirs revolt here's our people surekha i said to make sure that allocate it can't ever said of a basic what i know well kate already has bases somalia in yemen the seven weeks ago and occupy somalian yemen so they can have bases that there's no end of this there's no end to it when at leon panetta was asked on this week over the weekend on a_b_c_ program hehehehe ok do you think they are and uh... afghanistan in savannah fifty to a hundred mantle won't think about that at and they know that but is that the c_i_a_ director admitting that on air it's a mind-blowing men and i look at that we have a hundred thousand troops in afghanistan and that most there's a hundred-dollar came in there so we got a thousand troops or every member of al qaeda in afghanistan mental mental by then what i think the outfit and other countries you better believe it for you could let alone so biennium ami at some point divided and wanted to be a few numbers in the united before the end of it that and germany and emily and england do we hockey party everyone every and the more you look into it met and they look at this is in school i always ideas and a lot of ways nobody in america is talking about it we need to petrol warm air that's what we need we need that military industrial complex to keep getting those contracts and those guys pay their congressmen their senators and their presidents handsome whether they're in office with campaign graduations or they're out of office and they get that's and they paid a general's handsome so what it looked paid vietnam come out with a lesson from vietnam icao my god what a terrible disasters like this and then walked by the end up without a left relay that led to the you know who was already particle whatever the cold war keep that's going on in in the cold war that way to keep a list of auto and defense right but one of tall waterfall log books more than ever that i got okay five code we won the cold war brent that somehow he did power downright nolls sorry that we had a war on terror are backed up uh... who indicate a cent has also said the f_b_i_ says not uh... target rich enough but it and i'm not stop the blow-up so it was a star award iraq for and they've got damn res another boat running along if you know over eight years in afghanistan whitney over nine years in afghanistan of the list they tracked and as you know we got a b say how many decades that would be in afghanistan and when that happens we are suppose insist i don't have a crystal ball bible crystal ball my crystal ball says you'll stay there until the defense contractors say we've had enough we've deluged ourselves with so much money that you know movie we might have some public relations issues of week say they're a little longer onto the next war when does it and then when his event but lacks the plastic i got a repeat hundred thousand troops if the al-qaeda who died in troops fifty al-qaeda *** kidding me all right now we go on to finance reform where i can ask that question again all right well you know we we're way defined as reforms a bit of a joke padova help we might be aidid by the turn of events that have happened recently first will be no two democrats well we're set to vote against it maria cantwell and of course the legendary russ feingold uh... if you are a lot no who's right who's wrong center which billy should support which when you should they should know this all the time it's not a good idea and gentle right ralph mommies it lieberman a sport especially these co-sponsoring it wrong prevails never trust lever he's always on the wrong side right now another hand russ feingold is in favor of it the you got gold you look back at finals record so you could find in there glad i did the right on iraq right on patriot act write up a close down the list right all right so that finals autograph holding up on finance reform this is very interesting critical you'll see in a second it looks like a problem together bailey sixty votes to get past the filibuster how they do it they were it because cantwell fungal dot on board uh... they will is scott brown how'd they do that the even exemptions brittany even loopholes uh... now what they're calling um... the baby state bible right they anyways i thought about this compound who ran on off fired for that nebraska kid qualifies her kentucky's rick utilized and the louisiana purchase pop rhetoric ticketless right so ugly he literally said look i'm looking that's a car that exemptions for fidel investments study treat statestreet massmutual and other base t based financial institution that normally they don't name names she's a rocky normally sell on the day ever my community bankers and the citizens in my area now he said he had these are the banks are protected so carve out an exception for that hey you know the democrats did began to so what scott brown doing out can you guess yeah i was uh... mess with it arvo to which i say it's of course sources like the sixties well you know at this twenty million it's actually ninety billion dollar uh... fund that the taxes there that the banks have put money into over a period of years so that that pays for this bill sip-it it's not deficit-neutral and then you've got a nation right now theoretically republicans want things that are deficit-neutral but scott brown certainly well you know what this is kind of like a tax on the banks and i promise my constituents that uh... i wouldn't raise taxes under any circumstances number one did you do not know that they had a ninety million dollar fund in there of course you did you know when you made earlier anatomy these catching heat for the space they'd bite off so he shot back that a lot of it or divert to the republicans came to talk to miss this guy's got a witty thing to do it step back in a line and founder after that and so scott breast or never the judgment of the public udya promise you this then i think you and that's guy what do you do about it now now i want more and by the way if he got this pay off the next day off that that in nineteen billion dollars of taxpayer money dot dot the banks look in this legislation would pay for right so he's looking to affect the banks out this guy went was tea party tonight begins the bailouts of satellite channel but prophetic joke he he says no i wanna protector all the bankers wall street guys they should have every taxpayer pays for that nineteen billion dollars in some of the bank there scott brown free so that's prime number a lot problem berto robert byrd dot there goes another vote now the governor of west virginia's plane patty cakes men who he's got a point he's a democrat but he was the point of self-pity cancers is not going to do that he's trying to figure out what angle to play so we had to wait till the that picks a successor probably work so that's been two votes ok then they got a make-up so that way i gather that kampala final right so they go ten twelve ten months of luck i was very clear is one thing i want specific i think this whole thing is way too weak but i can come on board it because the if you change is what president provisions and that supervision the bill called for nearly interest rates that can be clear to be clear but there was no penalty for not clearing it and so cantwell said well then it's just a suggestion he newton you-know-what when many of these that they have to put up on the market so we can see what the price of the deal was so to get the secret so we know what risks they're taking with the prices are there's more transparency it make sense so in there we're proud of that don't bother mister phillips eppadi installed where kids getting cleared i mean if they want writing cat was that well can you stop kidding around with us okay pinoy can this be a polite suggestion of course yeah factually clear all the trains like the bill clinton claims to be if they change that being a camera back on board if they don't change that the other who plays beyond a sick joke because i think that they knew all along that they they didn't want them to claim victory marketing department will pay one point are bored that's the right so pat will go job right let's see if that she gets what she wants but that's doable the second vote they gotta go get is russ feingold and right now holding strong and they said we've been out as people thrown stuff on ok i have seen articles about all of us why there was never engaged in this process to begin with he's been very not help for non cooperative et cetera sep yeah yeah yeah yeah so when you ask russ feingold he's you know why he said in the beginning i a trial order tickets but you know he had an amendment he support other members try to make a strong and then he said by then i realized first thing to do it this is just a pollute warmer people's lives this is a finance reform it's gonna cause the next great collapse i'm not buying it and i'm not voting for neither one of our love the guy it isn't about making a standard that it isn't about feeling top it's about are we going to the american people are when the real reform inherited american people and that's going to in the real world cause another collapsed i'm not waiting for god bless your heart now let's see what happens they're gonna offer but on a concessions is my guest pagano but more likely that you get a deal with scott brown so no some of the money back to the bankers so this cop out to be happy maybe they'll pull in another republican who can take abroad for the bankers and and leave us find all the side right now feingold as a very clear statement on it here i'll read you the uh... they've statement as i've indicated for some time now my test for financial writer to reform bill is whether will prevent another crisis the commerce committee's proposal fails that test and for that reason i will not voted against it during the debate on this bill i supported sell-off efforts to break up the too big to fail wall street banks and restore the province it grows established after the great depression separating mainstream banks from the big wall street firms among other issues unfortunately these crucial reforms were rejected while there are some positive provisions the final measure lack of strong reforms is clear confirmation delaware st lobbyist and their allies in washington continue to wield significant influence on the part process the minute feingold basically pulled out of these proceedings instead of good luck to you know that's when you knew it's a joke finally russ feingold among four senators double loop work against the bill in nineteen ninety four there was a critical deregulatory bill that led to a collapse was among eight senators have voted against the disastrous bills in nineteen ninety nine removing that and two thousand removing glass steagle if you look at the list of of legislation and who's been right and who's been wrong always find russ feingold on the right side of it and so now if he's working on this i mean you could it double and triple confirms for me how prophetic this bill so go ahead and go bride scott brown or levels you can bribe to get it done but it ain't gonna work young turks throw so there are other florida a pass away at three a_m_ last-minute prep back scrutiny of is ninety years old he had been in the senate for fifty one a year since the longest starving senator in united states history uh... he was majority leader for six years he had been at involved in team thousand five hundred roll call votes that is at another record in the senate he'd been elected nine different times including in two thousand six weight at sixty four percent of the vote uh... an obvious legend in the senate uh... complicated guy from good-sized some bad sides some republicans will talk about uh... involvement in the ku klux *** today and they will be right uh... and people often mention that as a way to dismiss his current politics but that's absurd cousins politics is chand where some of the people who mention that that mothers did not change so let's go but let's go with a full west of the meant so first of all goes in the state politics first in nineteen forty six uh... and effectively got famous originally his fundamentalist bible preachings throughout west virginia and then someone suggested that he run for office you know that someone was the grand wizard of the k_k_k_ now robert also in the k_k_k_ and they said all that's fantastic will issue you know political office so then becomes a charming part he literally played a federal and saying mountains songs to stand out among the twelve other candidates and people found and charming and a elected whose first office and then of course throughout the years he gets into higher and higher office until he's uh... sworn in on january third nineteen fifteen oh nine as his first term in the senate uh... that's the same day bit alaska became a state that's how all this guy he later went on to of course reform his views on racial politics in america but before needed he also help the continued the longest filibuster in senate history over what he won the stop civil rights legislation he spoke for fourteen hours and thirteen minutes on that about how blacks she would not have the same rights is what okay so love robert byrd is all about the tell you do some great things later on that doesn't get wiped out it's real it happen now you said i a below peacefully for civil rights leader he did it you know that he was still against busing people for integrating the schools so eat closely switched on that okay people say well you know i understand its historical context i do understand annexure and here comes the redemption part of a beauty i'm not a religious person i believe you get redeemed through your acts he did switch on civil rights and later played a critical role in uh... supporting uh... brocco obama's kenneth c after philly fanatic overwhelmingly won the west virginia primary robert unless came out and said they should be our first african american president and outline of helping him they you know some advisers uh... say that that helped with political and moral credibility when bird or baba bucket security with buddy it but ok aerial i guess now what what what what did robert byrd do well well again we have a good not leap here carpet load on the back the debt is there was no better fighter against iraq war and i still remember those speeches and it worked then task and he was impassioned he was right and he tried to swing his fellow democrats and he couldn't and heat at picked up a lot of credibility their knives in my eyes but in everybody's eyes and he was on firstly proven right about iraq war it became a disaster justin c predicted and we should be gone in there there are many other things that he fought for that were democratic in progress the priorities that were good but he was also the master of pork-barrel politics he brought home in ornate over a billion dollars the west virginia in just pork-barrel projects ideas are in for a long time so the money adds up that's not the kind of off the sidewalk and get a terribly fast to show them care deeply about the constitution so that was a good thing so look at the final analysis uh... it if you're interest will be probably stuff loved his wife they were married for sixty nine years animation is white burma and uh... a lot of his speeches after he's done talking about other kind of a lesion wars and roman emperors and the constitution heathrow herman and so he of course had a sweet side too and in fact he stop playing the federal after one of his grandsons dot so looked but that's what like this man it's complicated and robert byrd was a legendary complicated flawed guy who from time to time did things very wrong and things very right and now the long serving senator united states history has passed on let's go kick some process on a different we have the reporter hastings for are always so who broke the joma crystal story and uh... that establishment press hates them for here you break a story when you happen ownership our job is to protect the military never show their downsides or the frailties of their weaknesses or where they're wrong or job is to protect the military and establishment in power now was very disappointing is one of the biggest cheerleaders for that philosophy turns out to be lele logan from c_b_s_ who is on some good reporting uh... from the war zones that we've shown it to you before but i think your opinions here are outrageous sat prophetic and show you exactly what's wrong with the mainstream press let's go to clip number one issue find howard kurtz about i hasten to report rolling stone piece today and the general crystals career raises an intriguing journalistic question could this have happened with the military be reporter for his house warm with plenty of experience in afghanistan and iraq c_b_s_'s chief our cars firepower loaded welcome if you had to shut down for celebrities comments about the rock obama joe biden hugo richard holbrooke which you've reported them but i'd really depends on the circumstances it's hard to know him michael hastings if you believe him says that there were no ground rules laid out and gap aca and that just doesn't really make a lot of sense to me because if you look at the people around him because if you look at his history here is that joint special operations commander he has a history of not interacting with the media at all and uh... his chief of intelligence function is the same i mean i know these people they never let their guard down like that to me something doesn't add up keratitis i don't believe it when you are out with the troops in your living together sleep together is there a unspoken agreement after tonight in dallas and by reporting insults better yes tell me about that yes absolutely there is an element of trust and uh... what i find is the most anything about what michael hastings said in your interview is that he talked about his marriage pretending to build an illusion off trust he could you know he is he's laid out there what his gayness exactly that kind of damaging type of attitude that makes it difficult for reporters who are genuine about what they do who don't dispute i don't go around my personal life pretending to be one thing and then being something else i mean i finally agreed just said it would do that in a professional life and and and i think that to the point of view when i plan to give you some one about something difficult and they wanna know the areas of the interview i might say well within the span w on this but i would expect i wonder if that kind of educational blindside because i don't believe in that but not beat reporters um... being nice starting nice to people to in their confidence and sometimes they have to write things that are flooded of course i mean active admonition is a good example i have never been they never know what to do with me because i've never been accused of being left at me not being right wing in you know they wanna pay me is that it was the expected me to be that way but if you look at my body of work it's always been accurate if it now michael hastings might my buddy were considered of is an example of another one of those reporters unlike me that didn't go and tell the truth because they wanted to come back that's not the case now now it sounds like that is the case i mean you tell me with your own not there you're saying hey look i basically let him look at my questions that i thought dona blindside m by doing reporting we have to build an element of trust so that i can get back in and do another fake story for that and these guys they would never talk to the press emily when the crystal leak that he needed the forty thousand more troops for the press you mean when the christo was in charge of the press interact in the beginning of the war he he he would never talk the president never let its guard down it's about time to be used as you guys right i'll come on and she sees personally offended how come we couldn't protect life advocate gracefully piper i trusted you trust me i would never know that story about him of can't believe cases would say that we go to bed sores about them if you said you wouldn't by those who put number two and that uh... it all the things have been written about this dilemma crystal bins blowing profiles he's suggesting that he did a job at the regular beat journalists have not done i think that's insulting arrogant myself i really do because there are very good big reporters who've been covering these wars for years year after year we michael he sings looking back at the late in the scene and he was there for a significant time he has his credentials but he's not the only one there are not a very good report is out there and you go and to be fair to the military if they believe that a peace is balanced they will let you back they may not have left that they didn't have the peace i think about you know and hand grenades being thrown in iraq that working troops he did not set piece made a lot of people very angry didn't block me from coming back washington post uh... quoted unnamed senior military official as saying that michael hastings broke the author of the ground rules but the person who said this was on that that would allow is a piece is that fair were expecting right right now needs your baby but nineteen general reference and just lost his job who else is going to lose his job leading all the senior leadership in afghanistan awaiting for the acts of fall i've been speaking to something they don't know who's gonna stay and who is going to go i mean it just the question is rarely is what general prisoners into doing so egregious that they deserve two mt two and a career like the crystals and michael hastings has never served his country to increase perhaps almighty let's listen i would listen to her how could you and their career like this other people could lose their jobs but you know our jobs report is to protect them to protect their careers and you know how because that's how you would enjoy going stop in every way close above the grisly yeah of course that's what we do gold and their careers will jeopardize about writing bad stuff ones i wrote a balanced piece but lisa let me back it congradulations job well done she's a no do you notice no dot i have to write another no no no no well i don't i don't get sorted through this no i give them darrow's piece is the daylight so no one will criticize me i will let me back here look my mind i believe the things that he sings was saying to the degree that he was saying about the beat reporters in the war after watching leh logan by now believe him completely the t_v_ they well known is that we think it download overall though but he's got me on all riley there was no what he says about uh... hastings and and protecting the military who could number four michael hastings far less guys he said and the general was very foolish litem into his inner circle the foxes agar older very descents on the journalism front saying these things was wrong for printing provocative quotes from chris on the staff kerala joins us now from upstate new york let's get to uh... war of uh... journalism here you know uh... and i'm trying to put myself in in hastings position if i'm there and i'm in a bar and and and of the crystal is geysers dot not about buying named and be in a moron and all these other things and it's not off the record geraldo you know that when you allowed journalism in you say look this is on the record this is off the record but if it's not off the record i mean you know i'm write it down you know they all love this is a situation where you have to put it in the context of war and warriors and on our and beat the number of of privacy that is presumed when it's not on the record specifically when your hanging out at a bar waiting for a plane or train for portability is stuck together hours and hours and you were drinking in a bar where you're at it but at the airport elan's this is not an interview context these guys particularly the staffers who gave the most damning uh... statements about the civilians in office including the vice president of the united states these guys had no idea that they were being into are not sure about this reorder where hold on bill against a reporter for rolling stone what he was a raft in an details that's what he did was to become part of the background part of the scenery knowing full well given his uh... political i idolize walk through everything else is attitude he knew what he wanted to do up and i think you have not too long and it was not isolating later general scandal in the crystals notes radiator if uh... fifty appetizers babe ruth and i agree with that analogy fidel stomach of steel is uh... lube garrick u_p_i_ white house and there are greater than the floyd more than any findings are and i really am so i'll go sick over that alright take a deep breath for a guy walk with me through this interview okay combat l that's perfect area paralysis a lot of these eleven democrats you let's go to bed with and he but they often do they sleep together i don't mean like this would be in bed together but they're in bed eric imbedded and he thinks stamberg question does are eg he's an angle anderson wrapped in an eagles s did reporting koalas all but journalist and wrote down things that were true no we're not supposed to do that if you he said he said look there's a pisa warriors there's honor here honor meeting you never report anything bad about them ever right editors privacy if you are porter view our reporter name would completely forgot what reporters as opposed to do and he says well unless something is on the record specifically then you should not report it you know that means use that auger for here here put this on the record specifically roldo and he writes it down and any hesitant he broke a story now he got what lou gehrig did have so using these guys are reporting the truth happiness in iraq all they're doing is trying to protect their jobs and they they had this hero worship not just that the generals not just the troops of big government of this travelsmith of power they back out on the power this power gets them paid for all those which offer this why casino and challenge them landed his job terrible there also a good journalism it's a joke to put journalism and these people in the same sentence their path and that's why we never find out what's really happening in those wars let alone fails in washington god bless michael hastings but only one who ever did any report based flock gotta get so mad your obligations was indeed a us not bad not art leverage or was in school the any new even look at the definition of a journalist your prophetic your quinn but everyone is more position more power and for the people in print positions of power for like you well when i stopped at on that head that i'm at less trouble llbean that you keep reporting val stuff that we give you otherwise we'll let you back in allege or rather than eagles nest don't be iraq be a good guy do exactly as we tell you now your head *** reporters your prophetic yonkers with me medium tried that i had her have profound affect members is always stop and go on with uh... member number thirteen sixty breed here brenda o'donnell uh... joined on nam more staff of two thousand nine read a great to have you with us and then i this is perfect lieutenant verma jane rumor mill from earlier the show uh... robert personally his name baptism uh... we said james great at you with us thanks so much for be partly out first that's really part of the young turks our face book page is really close fitting ten thousand members both personal and problem that last i checked we were a hundred and sixty shall probably a little closer now uh... but that'll be cool that ten thousand or face book page so check that out his face book dot com slash tee white teenage very simple now i mentioned url from a earlier or just analysts say i'm kiit kidnapping this segment had to do alluded more politics and so just let me touch real quickly on the robert byrd you member ice was used for the k_k_k_ while the eight left out which i found amusing is that he said he should break the ku klux *** because of its anticommunist position but instead filler yet and other day uh... were cancelled and uh... they were against removing speed limits in west virginia and those of the reasons he joined the quick last night is one reason why you join the ku klux *** reagan under with any of that so please sits there but you know politicians can help themselves in his argument that whether robert byrd would just switch positions also writes everything else uh... because of political expediency or whether he really meant it icid answers you know he's a politician of course the chase for political expediency at the same time look i just people by their actions so if he does the right thing up and he does the right thing at that uh... by the way he didn't always do the right thing either so i came to caress of issues uh... the uh... always sided with the state's cole interest over environmental the good in the ban on ok now are the real reason i brought this segment back of republics is our god i gave you the rest of my logan and geraldo unreported and what they think is how you report on the military so i'm going back to crawl the first rather refined do outdoor rally about michael he's his report in rolling stone and uh... here is the next day off i agree with you to hastings is a hatchet man right all you gotta do is look at what he's done in the past rolling stones at active operation they had treated me i was stupid enough to lead a reporter named cola pinto file me around and he gave me a lot of bs any had cheated me and also talk a lot to do what was on and off the record what he couldn't could not do now i'm in a business a line and so i'm not saying that hastings did anything wrong naka is he a rat yet is a rat budetti doing wrong but you can explain to me i don't think you can wire-guided smart asthma crystal bin or on a long time position of power knows what the press is uh... they even said that he thought he told a turn foxnews off in his office is because he's a liberal dot my personal so he knows that the press is why he would even allow these this guy to be around her all the why would he won't be around highlighted very clear about this bill the president of the united states was totally within his constitutional rights and power to dismiss or accept the resignation of general stellar crystal because it was a lapse in judgment for general motors stole to let this person that close to him but i have to go back to my principal point when someone who works for the general commanding do war front in afghanistan mocks the vice president of the united states calling joe biden bite me that reporter knows that that statement if it becomes public has strategic significance that the president would be force to do what he did unless the u_s_ what he's saying that i was a beyond belief that's what role not only have three keep my point billie's when it is a strategic issue like that something abet import fool you were country damnit that you would have been obligation tuesday was that on the record you really want to say that you have to put it in context why that's great so uh... if you reported a negative about the press that has tricky times are about the military that has strategic significance and that uh... compartment country dammit and maybe could help your country if they knew what the truth what's the everything about their royal now you know your idea of protecting the country as protecting the people in power and so that's why you keep calling uh... pieces are at i love how roll rally set that up pieces like this request though he's a liberal guys so he knows what the press about we're going to meet okay and say what we have no idea from a crystal liberal or not uh... one the i do know is for all those only interest isn't protecting the real world so please all the coverage that you get from coverage a year from rother from now on e dismiss it tire early it's one sends crap that he was fed by the pentagon that he's happy to put out that in fact he basically says eighty although that he's hurting his country damaged by the way you want all the great irony of this you know one of our listeners pointed out i had forgotten by she did marry rising said in the email in two thousand three geraldo endanger their troops by giving away their position on the airline that could have gotten them killed but hey you know those are just the troops it's not like something important asorio strategic singer begins by covered general zaz that were all those good at put its troops lives in danger well not-so-good but he's not done yet he's not a compressed hastings al-qaeda i'm not kidding watch two days before nine eleven to al-qaeda terrorists posing as journalists that after she muscle our most valuable ally in afghanistan they blew themselves as she twisted up a tremendous effect i maintain historically that the removal of general crystal at the hands of this freelance reporter for rolling stone has almost comparable strategic significance this was a major deal and to do it under those rules where you have to admit your third gin and tonic you're frustrated yo waiting for the volcanic ash to clear everybody is on their most relax behavior to get a statement and utterance like that and patterns from it not be general himself but by one of his over eager muchos staffers is something that you have an obligation and honorable obligation the checkout before you rush to the press knowing that what you have done fire alarm why bind soldier we're already so i always hungry kerala we got but but but all right now so let's get that should first he said uh... there on the third gin and tonic nonsense uh... actually hastens was on c_n_n_ explained i was only one of the course and it was actually not a damning quote at all it was about hammad crystal said that those his guys around i would die for and that he would die for them that was the bully pulpit where they were intoxicated there's actually one of the few positive course in the story sober all those totally made up our double like all these poor guys they were all ordered away said when they told the truth no they weren't they were perfectly sober number two races or is that obligation to check with them again to see it was offered a rather it he did he double-checked and rolling stone triple check they set our business stuff would use that and they said yes that's why would a story came out rehearsal on his allies didn't refuted at all visit already confirmed it several times over but that doesn't stop a rob lowe from comparing hastings a reporter who actually arrived at the truth which you know when disputes those people did say those things meeting the board is a hundred percent accurate despite that he compares them to allocate right they're blowing up our generals because again once again rather thinks his job to challenge the people in government and in power his job is to cater to that and if you don't give them you're blowing them up like a kid now we go back till llbean she's on c_n_n_'s arnett howard kurtz what does she think of it leaves the new guy that they brought in general patrons uh... i'm sure she's going to have a balanced approach on that and anna no device for insightful neutral opinion on so let's check that out put number three after president obama surprise people by the first uh... relieving their own personal this commandment hiring their own there a transparent in the sense of making the afghan war commander bob dole out you know i'm his a fox news show played up clip for some folks have been put together by the sort of media research center newsbusters site one show it to you know sounds like they're pretty brilliant this is an really this is nothing less than a stunning development brian and quite frankly adequate glance almost brilliant politically in this town uh... it's is going to be seen as a brilliant released by the president of very brilliant moves on to tap general contrast the suggestions the will need your lover david threats and there've falling into line i don't they had said there was a bad decision that would be the liberal media hoping that the transfer they're not going to act but bottom line is it's very hard to find something wrong with this decision by president because it was only one general in the united states on the that has the political weights and influence in washington to survive this anybody else going so that position who was interested wasn't proven who didn't happen it'll connections would it be demanding that they would be able to do nothing to do they would not be able to fight for the strategy president obama feast as serious choice yet was his strategy going to die with general krista because there's a lot of opposition from very powerful people in washington who want to move to a different model of counterterrorism anot compensation seek the only way that he had to ensure to silence the critics and ready to move on this reassured the troops this reassured the commanders this reassured people who are in favor that the afghans the allies and that's why people playing up lately because of widespread adversaries have much more personally i think the national press as if you sexy transit also almost also everybody governance also there also then brilliant brilliant brilliant do you know you broke your his only job i could do it only darkness it resurrect generals are losers law incompetent they can do you think you know it or because they only got an old military at mill idol of the cliffs that o'reilly played of course he came to a totally wrong conclusion ferment but the liberal press loves to transport i don't even know why that i don't understand that r_u_ right no it's because the press laws laws that was very loves the government less power patricia we've already fought them up somebody who had said in a couple of lovers of the transit earlier his usual walk apart it is ready to go mishra treasures are do you have a dog is only one who could do it or you picked the guys that we already hyped up and and did summit making out fantastic right well yet and when larry logan is asked about it all other things you said earlier about all we know why do real reporting whereabouts at all dot right out the window instead or distribute proper choices also wall street also locate and you know what what what was also also propidium but funny enough voice was also basham for premium early everybody in power is hey like a report really right means design
