And so.

Now from burning in a Brit that would feature but regard to -- image in Lloyd Webber -- world.

-- educated at Cambridge University.

There's superior with a Soul -- all of Fox's long but -- -- -- -- the dark side -- suspect.

Yeah.

Hariri Amazon I'm -- is not recipients and thank you for having me -- look great and Bernard -- equally -- It's very very attractive little -- to have attractive weld room table.

-- hall on the program by.

Issued a more on our fears he did imaging and -- last Knot over not because.

Here's what I've found -- -- the blood descendant of the walls.

Because sailor -- all Smart -- And it then there'd -- don't have time to -- -- -- and all other respond much better.

So here's the first topic start with a well look she would this films quite frankly that allied on all -- and Mitt Romney is gonna release up.

His tax returns in 2010.

And 2011.

And is announced he won't release.

-- -- is that good enough damage.

The interesting ones not I don't see -- when he didn't know -- is running for president.

I don't this is going to be good not coming -- too many months is nine Ponte.

Rick Perry said Antony has been has been -- -- -- and at and say full.

And fundamentally is running for the biggest jolt in the wild and people want -- due diligence unless remember.

He was looking with Spain he was heading not saying they wouldn't a done due diligence -- just tedious for company data going into that -- looked throughout -- company's history.

And we will want to look at Romney's history I think this -- -- that biggest job in the wells.

-- -- a lot of -- block and -- German -- -- about was about our infringement.

On the Bernie virtually -- know as a climber and it was that McCain sold Romney's tax returns it's one of 25 years and decided to go with Palin presents a -- put at the -- crazy moose lady.

But what -- brought tears and opera.

I think it's enough well it's -- it should be enough but it's its appeal I think first of all it was the taxi it's supposedly the speculation is it's the tax returns of 2009 after McCain sought that.

The speculation is that he didn't pay taxes that year.

And that will hurt him but he shoots he should just take the medicine release of now because it.

It is as somebody put an unsustainable.

You don't have to be -- these charges in November -- the debates but it's also fair.

-- the president in this college records and transparency.

And fast and furious so.

I don't know I mean -- -- little hypocrisy on that side you know called for Iran yup McCain released two years it was okay and you know I'm not outraged by but I don't wanna -- have to hear about it during the debates in October September.

What -- are essentially you know and I imagine both thought.

-- -- -- Which isn't looking for you visit -- -- front on the next topic this -- of social Lawson.

And they reviewed -- the.

-- celebration of the claims.

On all whatever was 58.

-- LC is on the -- it was very exciting.

Every -- in the middle of a double dip recession and I am -- Imus says it's just not -- be able to celebrate something.

I'm not quite sure how well the Olympics is going to guys and the TV we didn't really mess up I mean whether was -- that is have blacked.

So we're rooting for -- murder -- and at Wimbledon.

Something Apache rustic but it didn't -- today.

Then for -- -- -- disappointed and ashamed and humiliated.

There when he lost.

This is factor rather greatest you'll timing is on Twitter IDC -- -- I mean it is funny just a better -- the final he did pretty well.

But like associate man up and down and cried over rumors and it sounds matched the -- troubled U.

It did in his -- EP he appealed of it decent embrace competition resound upside -- -- -- -- its orbit and nation burn a big deal for Britain.

He is got -- listen I -- -- I think he sort of cried over a stupid you know is this guys died in Afghanistan is a lot of tragedy in the world and -- -- crying over a stupid tennis match.

Is the right thing to do but I go let me go to the Diamond Jubilee chief -- the united another colossal waste of money.

In the face of adversity anyway and whistles be austerity.

Who have been you know but imposing austerity measures to get the economy in order in -- In Europe and and you know that this -- parasite here yeah.

You want me to do these -- is right now because I will need if they always been on to your -- -- to pray for tourism I'm not buying that.

We hear that all the time the queen and costs about a dollar -- Hudson high EA and the UK two run shot at 61 million dollars she brings an -- though there'll -- due at 800 million dollars EA in tourism.

So just be clients and are now on -- it's a huge hit us all British people think well.

Yes that's -- -- -- management.

But listen let me bailing out on -- -- -- Can I just say this.

President Obama one of the first things he did when he got in office.

He saw a bust of Winston Churchill and noted.

He said get that -- -- fat old drugs head out of this White House he sent it back to England BP.

Brought some gifts were Obama's family.

He he he reciprocated by given the -- a carton of cigarettes and and and some toothpaste I think was was they would -- this is -- and it's the President Obama hates the brits.

Yet I know you support but he give them based on his childhood colonialism and you know it -- he hates the English people and and.

Prelate David Cameron I mean they I vote not the right -- -- with a recent state visit and an extraordinary way right that he should.

College early on and their student.
