They do is -- MB moderated in a panel on wounded warriors.

And adjourning and all this coming Monday September 26.

But the Reagan built or is -- that's in Washington and -- the international trade center as a very nice no surprise those are wonderful note you wrote me about.

A brother from operations the think you wrote all -- him.

There are very you know -- there all of Imus sought comment 96.

Pages.

Of notes from people about.

My what I'm gonna start -- book him.

Oversold.

RS or whatever so what's gone on to you and.

-- its.

I'm do you -- as today Ahmadinejad speaks that's the Iranian President held brag about the fact that he's released that.

Hikers but the real issue that's going on -- Palestinian statement.

And I think it's sort of too late to have a good outcome and -- the president a year ago.

Sad He hoped that Palestine would be seated in -- community of nations a year from NASA here we are transferred a year and and nothing's happened Pakistan -- straight to meet.

It's like Babe Ruth in 1932 in the World Series -- -- -- -- center field and then hits a home run I mean Obama did all happen any struck out well.

-- bailout from the -- front.

Thanks running terrorists because he's perceived as tilting against Israel and that's why one of the reasons that the New York nymex congressional district -- special election went to Republican for the first time ever.

But but but Bibi Netanyahu -- while like ranked as -- seem to home.

Well more amenable to the presence in her position sort of step but here's a problem if they did what ever happens of let's say.

It comes to the United Nations as for a vote sometime.

For tomorrow or in the next cup -- -- and the US Vito has Palestinian statehood.

Well a -- raise expectations.

Everybody in the Arab world particularly the Palestinians that they're going to be recognized as a state.

So what are they going to be there be frustrating me angry and it's are demonstrating started doing yesterday.

Demonstrations lead to violence on the gets out of control Israelis put it down and then you have Arab Israeli and Israeli Palestinian conflict.

So that's that's -- that's that sort of good news -- bad news is that somehow the Palestinians were to get recognized to sustain over the US veto.

Some kind of recognition from the U and the passage in the wake of the day after that vote.

-- is -- -- be change emissions are again frustration and anger leads to violent.

All what reasonable parts of apartment kitchen -- And absorbed organization to in our.

But reasonable person -- ever going to be a disagreement.

Between him or settlement and policy and some rooms.

Well again -- -- seems like more time goes are less likely to me I look at that part of the world along have been talking among I'm neutral about to just get.

Does -- to Kissinger combat what Kissinger and your service some tangent.

The absence of war is that enough now that if you can get some kind of a cease fire I think at the end of the day even if you were able to get the Israelis.

And the Palestinians to agree -- some solution you have -- an international.

Peacekeeping force between the two groups to guarantee it.

Went -- to Palestinians -- want to go.

All measures just in Israel to -- a -- depends on which Palestinians -- other things -- to Palestinians there's the Palestinians.

On the Gaza Strip and that's Hamas and you are absolutely right they refuse to recognize Israel.

They want a one state solution that they're in charge of they want Israel to disappear.

Them -- the Palestinians.

On the west bank of the Jordan River.

They are the ones -- been negotiating with Israel so.

But the problem is even if you gotta deal who we have in the deal with -- -- is still divided within itself -- consensus among Israelis about.

-- -- -- Paulson.

Most house most Israelis have bought into the notion of -- what's called a two state solution at a -- Israel as a Jewish state.

Palestine as a Muslim states and -- -- sir don't have a much -- like Hamas.

-- just want to Palestinians to.

To secure I am am sure that there are but they're not an active political movement for to that effect it is impossible I mean that you know the geography the demographics.

That isn't gonna happen.

-- -- I don't I don't you don't -- primary purpose of the Iran has want to make it.

To have to to create -- situation.

Portrait -- 45 minutes.

To go from 60 -- and Central -- -- Took third and effective assorted as a thought about us that's what this amounts -- only -- but -- what other part of dozens are all of them -- screw up traffic.

Let's -- extravagant there are other purposes of the United Nations and one of it is that is as well as insurers are once had jar jar jars better than war war war.

You know the same someplace to talk about it but what you do what that brings to mind is Unisys has a lot of leverage who -- you and us.

So if for forget if we find something like this Palestinian vote coming.

We should have known nine months ago or you're gonna Palestinians left a lot of signals they were gonna do this we should have started using our leverage -- the Palestinians.

Over the United Nations for their checkbook and we.

If the UN building fell under these Trevor right a little controls.

President mine.

Put up on -- real with a put up another apartment building.

Right unknown or -- position their troubles minor.

But on television what tournament like -- loss by month look at a slot Trump's name wanted to to Brad what they're below their analysis.

And where it where it happened city and any sense civic community Ireland arms Obama told there's -- a sold all our dog our guard and you're -- to support Republicans and Democrats are.

I mean out of to have worsened Republican administration -- I'm you know open minded about it.

Do you see anybody.

Off.

On -- debates and out of fox -- Republicans to -- any Republican who grew to could do a better job.

All of this scenario the presidency and present to -- about it but I was and a senator to me -- -- it out that President Obama has.

Has consistently -- -- -- an economic policy jobs policy foreign affairs even during -- thousand He says.

He over promises and then the under delivers and what happens then.

As you have a lot of really dissatisfied.

Angry resentful people whether they're in the United States whether their pride and to me.

If the important part about President Obama has to stop the bleeding so any any potential Republican president is at least gonna and that no longer.

You know continue the bleeding and even if they don't do I think particularly great at least -- out the bad.

Like an Argentine -- On what it's all about man stopped.

It and they keep going but I support people like -- -- like a lot of for John Kerry.

When I almost I don't agree but almost anything that He represents -- while I can't.

And out on a regular run against time but there -- bush bush.

But like -- of the bush just personally and a sudden.

Salt at the same way I feel about repairing.

Rank and Mitt Romney I mean I don't agree with a lot of stocks that wrecked car radios or and Mitt Romney but I -- I could vote for them.

Because other -- like a.

So what would you like every American I mean everywhere Bill Clinton once said that they print the most personal -- Well I you know the most personal vote anybody -- for president.

Because you if that's somebody that you kind of relate to don't relate to and that what you do in your head.

Is that you say I like him I can relate to my understanding my he's a good guy -- vote farm and then later you come up with the reasons or like it's tax policy like -- immigration policy but I agree with you I mean I think most Americans vote.

For president with Erica.

I'm a one one Barack -- -- from the pros and -- liked him filers and Alaska also voted was a phony.

A lot of foreign and attendant -- -- and I thought but I thought it was arrogant.

So I voted for McCain economic -- -- one.

America because -- -- and -- There's no clue what's -- Mauritius to you worried about the Diamondbacks.

I had him on just in front of Arizona Diamondbacks are real to come up the world I mean -- -- -- racks a big success means in saint but I like it.

So phone rang and the and you and you saw through a comment and you saw that else yeah well a lot of people didn't someone a little lover on new director earlier Mitt Romney -- Well and not Ron Paul are present at the heck was I don't like to vote for all of it as the nomination should be thinking now is who's gonna run for vice president I think the Republican Party seems to be pretty divided over who they're going to support for -- while -- mid -- rhetoric.

Well that's a really give you and you know you have to can work out with -- on tap but.

And -- -- so -- -- to -- heritage and there's enough growth sector and and -- -- -- out of time massage.

There are very popular guest on this program -- we're getting emails -- himself from.

And again not to belabor the point -- but.
