Let's find out if we get an inning runs Obama that was the TV's Danny -- handy I like my new voice it's fantastic things have been working on -- -- the -- it -- now.

Very very masculine yet -- as I'm getting older I need some more gravitas absolutely yeah yeah I like it.

Yeah you're an astronaut I but I we got to take a break we're going to be right back.

That sound.

-- -- I think that we.

How to take a break it will be right.

Now this is testimony I honestly I don't get it was it for me I don't -- -- surprising then -- that was really want to line call this the guest is nick got held up.

So that would be I think we're around -- it felt great thank you depending -- -- now because of certain kinds of sexual -- that cannot be glanced.

Yeah I television or animal always just -- -- -- on TV.

But you know -- Vick doesn't give a damn thing that could fly zone rules Greg he's gone for good progress that's -- -- -- -- -- -- tomorrow but -- Greg's Greg has gone.

Reason.

Right from lack certain.

But I tell you a victim Gregory we don't like bill.

Talk about mr.

-- is that independents.

I love itself sized up to me -- you started and yeah I'm done.

That's.

And thank you for your service absolutely.

-- and Gaza report Greg you pointed out that the report listed 29 ways to State Department can improve its operations.

Ought to be fair and -- that's 21 fewer ways than there are to -- your lover nonetheless.

I think we're fifteenth.

-- -- when he won fewer now.

-- -- would have gotten that.

If you have -- yeah I hit and I think I examined the clinic doctor -- -- back -- -- thank you know.

Mean to put broken you know what -- Men are grammys -- the -- disappointing that it doesn't place any blame on individuals while which is correct in fact the report said that there was systemic failure.

Yet the three officials who resigned were an assistant secretary of state and you deputy assistant secretary switch -- to see if there's systemic failure.

Should not go a little higher up.

And he's -- good -- -- go higher up and it should be a little bit more widespread I'm not suggesting that everybody needs to get fired but.

And I must thank report is -- failure simply because it doesn't name names short but it would be you know the vote.

The expense -- the work that went into it I would have expected something a little bit more specific -- and in the context of everything that's happening it's you know it's.

Give everyone a reason to doubt it.

You get answered -- yeah absolutely here a hot moving day at the fifth yeah yeah.

At.

Greg you said the report is meaningless if it doesn't answer the question about who pushed -- -- for the nonexistent right at the cause.

But that I don't think that was in the purview of the report the report was meant to examine possible flaws right now armed security system that -- I know I understand they can't ask that question -- than what some say somebody should because.

How you actually read this report Greg -- Hayden did it.

Don't you got that's okay so you know Chinese restaurant and I.

I thought I -- no I did not either but I printed out for you accredited out he actually did more than I did I read the summary which is what people like me didn't.

And I was outraged by it some Arenas and -- thing is they did not.

Quite right I understand I was looking for -- being in a haystack.

So cut there's got to impose its own and it's.

Bill by the way the same explanation is why the report doesn't mention a cover up that that wasn't the job of the report to talk about that stuff.

Did you do before -- -- what the hell we're doing in Libya anyway also nodded not an overview of -- -- they didn't question especially at this point -- Also bill I don't agree with you that the story is that -- get stepped up not whether there was a cover up they can both be -- I don't think that the second part is -- I know you don't think so but you're you like it I actually I do actually you think there was a cover actual.

And I I think the American people want to know that -- men at top levels simply I love it when he -- that less costs to man.

-- a little Q a bunch of crates -- Slow camera -- away.

They are hesitant and I think -- -- life to back top man.

I don't know how many is -- dinner because of that.

Yeah -- by the -- one of the guys who resigned name's Raymond Maxwell.

On his website he describes himself as quote.

A foreign service officer yogurt maker and on -- I myself and until it got me good -- -- sad thing is he's probably innocent right.

Yeah probably think and -- and that would allow and I don't we don't know I don't know if somebody's got to -- on their sword and apparently yes opponent will be at the fallen to resume yogurt terribly.

I don't know why are they using swords is the 21 I'm using a metaphor -- -- and I don't know that Goldman and that's from the presidential.

I move on.

-- -- top that -- assistant Scott as a token personal -- -- -- that you corrected Greg pointed out that they don't read the author is black that's my job but he.

My title not -- not good that he didn't get that would have gone on the entire segregated they have great shame on you for assuming that cities and Ivy League professor you must be -- you are part of a -- there -- -- politically anyway he could feel you know -- -- -- wife.

You know I think he was like -- I thought it was Jeremy yeah yeah fatal seizure of the great actor -- I don't know we don't -- is.

Have you -- a soldier's story.

Yeah it's it was he'd be the English sergeant he had -- and idea that -- I finally remember it but you know what.

Yeah you're right I -- -- was a white person doctor James first and you don't tell Julius things.

The other thing about the doctor -- when that you probably wouldn't.

He got to explain a joke you know anything but that's funny -- yet to explain man could.

-- Joseph you said that when -- elected not elected to just -- and white people or black people.

In fact something that read write -- this is really weird I think he says none of the four black Republicans who have served in the house since the Reagan era.

In his mind they're not connected to mainstream black politics because they were all elected from majority white districts.

So now it's apparently it's a bad thing that majority white district three of them in the south elected black Republicans.

Yeah I he's imagine if they majority white country elected elected a black president yeah I -- how would scandal that would be yeah.

Well the majority of whites to vote.

Now -- -- yes.

I don't think that your -- it's definitely.

I think -- something about him.

What's -- and since when I'm on this discussion because we have a look it up after.

Terribly for -- relaxes pot policy -- you find it hard to believe that Africans would actually admit to prior drug use.

What part of that might be that you don't want -- on the state form given that that's kind of a crime if you get -- -- of course fits the crime but do you think that means that.

But nobody apply an application before yes I do think that.

I have a very trusting nature I mean I believe the best of people you lighting your hobbies you remember your resume for you -- sitting -- hobbies that you like to.

Suits heat and we're gonna watercolors.

And I what's your apartment and I didn't see evidence of that at all.

You're not that I -- either why don't I don't take -- -- home and then skin and put them on my wall that the but anyway you live -- your hobbies I did not also in -- in other interest he said -- and then when I got -- and clearly you were lying about that too.

You had a lot of interest and easy decisions he knows that Iran as -- And I think yeah.

Those aren't interest -- -- that those are things I have to do with a couple.

-- you thought they'd eliminate the policy completely so that prior drug -- wouldn't matter at all.

Yeah I was curious why they even have any pot policy anymore now the state legalize marijuana why we need to be like alcoholic cops can smoke pot occasionally -- -- but it turns out.

Are putting the Seattle times the city says that because he gets federal money and marijuana -- banned substance under federal law it has to maintain drug free workplaces.

OK well that's nonsense that we now conflict between state and federal yes.

Which is something that it that that outweigh the war on drugs is over once said the federal policy starts did you hear that that means we can't make.

I just -- Greg you're asking earlier before the show what policy the militant.

Terry has -- prior drug use yes I'm not act I think every branch is different but basically if you.

Only experimented with non hard drugs you're okay.

-- yet there's no there's no question.

Knowing what you are you are asked but if you say yes -- Yes but basically I think -- it's usually like under fifteen times for marijuana if you only use it that few times you're okay.

And this is -- Don't Ask Don't Tell would work.

-- -- -- -- -- -- and there's no bloodier and that's what you're in absolutely.

Get it rendered its all time.

Tell what they're -- my plans to join the Coast Guard he -- 44 in fact I think.

Great idea person comes from their own lives as donor would make it.

You know he has -- -- -- if he doesn't UConn yeah.

And -- he -- maybe and you have Sarah Jessica Parker as your first -- yeah.

I've got Williams 40 February and manipulator -- -- -- -- really strong -- -- -- -- No way way am pleased to talk about without you being president Barak.
