And those.
Are the people who are going to decide whether or not president Obama's 2010.
Health blog gets to stay or does it go where does it just sort of like lose its left died -- sort of -- around through the legal world.
And this is power play welcome back.
And good news Shannon brilliant guys here gauge and -- -- -- -- treats okay so here's the deal -- this report did not decide.
The health care law today we do not know about that so that means next week and and it also means that Washington State in an absolute -- and absolute blather for the next week what did they decide today.
What is it states to look at fort cases that took -- network -- -- -- one of them deals with unions and in California your state employee you have to join SE I U.
Did I mean if you don't your other option is to not -- but still have to pay -- -- -- your options.
Now group of people who -- it is they didn't join the union were very upset that their money was being used for political speech specific political expenditures.
And -- thinking in court saying we should be able to opt out of this hour and we should automatically be opted out or not members should be -- out there.
Into the court today by it was 72 in that case decided that the first -- -- it is so important that people should not have to subsidize speech they don't agree with with their money.
So those folks out there and also -- big case involving the FCC Federal Communications Commission.
Some bad words on TV things resist the team on TV thing's for sure is different networks are just not just the Fox Network now.
Play right that's absolutely totally at Columbia community and me personally haven't -- -- -- -- -- -- their own lab.
But but essentially the of the SEC had cracked up on several different networks buying some of them for these brief -- were thinking of celebrity issues during.
An awards show or that -- I don't believe that in time right now.
-- and we thank you and we look forward to hearing from you next week about the big that -- Yeah okay so you -- Monday as the day.
I don't actually because we have about seven opinions left including SB 1070 -- downstairs and his immigration law.
Unlikely they would give us all seven of things we've got a strong hints from -- -- the court that we may want to Tuesday or Wednesday Brothers that.
Just as -- as walks by the president -- Thursday.
We did -- Tuesday that okay what will be watching and thank you so much okay.
Now -- I want you to take a look at this number here is a very big number in all of this.
18%.
That is the share of human beings pulled by the Gallup organization.
Who said that even if that the person was super qualified they would not.
Fourteen -- -- to be president.
That sounds like a lot of people doesn't it.
So what about the Mormon thing and what about Mitt Romney and his face how does that play into this election.
-- are now the issue has been increasing because.
When you look at any gigs and it sounds like a lot but that used to be 24%.
-- and it's actually come down a little bit I think as Republicans have said.
Okay religious conservatives and OK it's Romney's I'm gonna have to bring reconcile my thinking and it's actually about the same percentage as it was when his father the Gallup found with his father ran.
Of course.
Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints was much less known in 1968 right but at 18%.
Break in the LDS.
You know they have actually begun to run a very aggressive media campaign over the last 456 years to kind of educate the public on.
What -- and it Mormon -- is who were mormons introduced you know American people to.
Mormons and the face into that I think that probably had something to do with it.
It I don't -- look I think it DN I don't think Mitt Romney wins or loses on his religion.
I think he's gonna win or lose based off of you know whether the public believes he's going to be the person who can fight for them in the White House and get this economy headed in the right direction.
I think that he has over the course of his life.
Contributed significant amounts of money to the church -- that is something that.
You know if he should be you know applauded for he doesn't talk about that and in -- and I think that that is.
Missing an opportunity.
To you know maybe get this number down even a bit more because this isn't his.
That isn't his goal here -- when he gave a speech at Shannon's home -- at Liberty University.
And talked about this earlier this year I think it was commencement address down there and may.
And he talked about this issue.
What he was really striving to do is not talk about what makes.
LBS what makes mormons different.
But just to say we agree all Christians agree on these core elements these fundamental things right and certainly that his lifestyle and how he's lived his life.
Would be it would -- that have any of these right.
I just think he's taking a bit different strategy from other candidates who have had you know John F.
Kennedy.
The cap hit a good -- President Obama both of them at moments in the campaign.
Address those issues in speeches and in this campaign.
President.
Romney hasn't done that and I understand why he wants to focus you know entirely on the economy but I do think.
That it might be helpful to him.
In you know in terms of getting those numbers down I don't have.
I think I think he's meat product perfectly happy if that number stayed the same as it was when he was with his dad is -- back.
That a lot of those folks are people that we're never gonna vote for him anyway.
African American religious folks people like that in the black church community definitely big thumbs down.
On LBS they've that you are not into that's -- he was gonna get their votes anyway.
I guess the problem for Romney is the bandwidth of white image on the news that are out there that are potentially those of the.
-- the people that George Bush was able to find in pull out of their houses in 2004 and parts of Ohio who typically you -- were voting.
They came out and they -- form because they were you know because they.
Like the fact that he was born again evangelical Christian.
And we'll see -- -- and we'll see if that you know if if if Romney runs into that.
No one of those new York Methodist -- -- Texas Methodist that's different.
-- we thank you so much for making my list today OK we have to go we don't want to go but we gotta go good news on the hunt with Jonathan Hunt is up next waiting for you after this and now as -- like to do every day we want to leave you with the word from our friend Charles.
There's.
No way that the mainstream media.
Which has studiously.
Try to ignore this can do that anymore and in fact that you quoted on NBC which -- shown exactly.
Ten seconds of coverage of this -- -- -- -- news over the last year and a half is not gonna have to explain the whole thing.
Since the viewership has no idea what it's about -- number one it becomes a huge national issue.
