And fascinating to march dies here he's author of after America get ready for Armageddon the books out of paperback -- -- sold so well.

Mark you watching the space program here we don't cover space program.

Depressing shot I got a whole section in that all in my book on the on the on the space program is hard to imagine this country even go into them and putting -- man on the moon anymore.

We don't have -- we have NASA and they won't they told him I'm NASA television covering this why we -- -- what's the point of coming in NASA television the head of NASA.

Said.

In 2010 -- the Pappas of his agency now.

Was to -- being charged in reaching out to Muslim countries.

To make them feel good about their scientific achievements fat -- are we competent man on the moon but we can put -- divest the average consultant and -- that's America at twilight I'm -- -- -- Steve said he thought it was really cool but nothing's going to museum -- and it's not -- that is -- it's tragic when all the good stuff is in the -- that's a tragedy -- let's talk to let's talk about Mitt -- he made these remarks that we all heard -- still we're still talking about it let's listen.

-- -- We'll be here.

We believe there title.

They're all here food.

These days so my.

Really.

That he favors the possibility here a lot of.

Well right now according to the white Wall Street Journal poll showing by five points and I wouldn't these remarks that -- -- came in the spring that are out help hurt or help.

Governor -- Well he's he phrased it badly as he often does because.

I just got off the button sent and as I understand the system you guys run -- kind of a queen and a prime minister you -- -- this one president guy who who's going to be president of LeBron James is the only king we have yet this.

It's adding it to -- should be trying to get as many of the 100% of Americans as he can get so he phrased it badly but this is the great issue about time as Pat Buchanan.

-- anecdotally it's the other side of the the space programs showing we don't.

We don't have we no longer have a space program but we have a massively expanded Social Security disability program in which healthy 52 year olds have given up all hope of finding out -- -- again so you're saying that this is an opportunity is taking correctly by governor -- he should run with these remarks and make America examine what they want -- what's the source of shame.

-- -- -- -- Is that sixty million people in this country our own food stamps.

And the idea that it's embarrassing because a guy is caught on tape talking about that the embarrassment.

Is that we -- how.

Have the guts to talk about back home if America you know my boat my -- basically says this country's slide -- off the cliff.

And if America votes to go off the cliff in November that's that's the choice of a free people -- Mitt Romney owes us an honest discussion of the choice in this elect and obviously he believes it if he's caught on camera saying this is nothing on the prompter there.

Here's an example which you say it's 49% of American households right now -- somebody in their house rescind some type of benefit from the federal government.

In 1992 with that number was 247.

Exactly and if you go back to win the space program -- when when when that John F.

Kennedy said let's put a man on the moon by the end of the decade back then it was regarded.

As a stigma.

If you was someone who didn't watch if you -- someone who is.

On depend dependent on the government for support now it's not now it's routine now food stamp Cobb is like he amassed account or your visa cap.

And that is wrong and it's killing.

On the other side of the ocean it's killing some of the oldest nation states in the wild.

And it will kill us -- to have freedom of us I always thought I had no problem one of the few people and America had no problem governor Romney's remarks in the timing of his remarks after would happen in in Gaza we -- normally would that we knew there was no fatalities.

But it doesn't it seems like America agrees with me.

Because the -- came out and he's in a dead heat in the Gallup poll and the Rasmussen -- has Marc -- feel about yeah I think I think we'll be all right but that's the other side of the -- equation that when -- money dragons.

Impala -- when you when -- -- you lose control the destiny and the guys lighten -- American embassies all around the world and running -- the al-Qaeda flag.

On -- US embassy -- understand they have nothing to -- This got Mitt Romney from the coverage in American newspapers you'd think Mitt Romney was already president that he somehow responsible for this -- responsible for the guy is responsible.

Is the Fella sitting in the White House.

He's the president American embassies -- ablaze nearly fifty million people on food stamps this is the Obama track record that's what he helps me realize that I think the American people saw was out of proportion at least by reflected in those polls -- very curious -- to think about this tape coming out.

What -- congratulations on your book we'll talk to his radio Arabia NBA you can take your jacket -- -- -- we can't really tell the graduates many rebel is after America get ready for Armageddon.
