" I hadn't made that Helen Keller store favorite people exiting after being ivy. They should clarify that have you read that Helen Keller story. You the end of her life she was like you pat do not get Carl Holmes you have that. The story about a one week Lawler and his children but that's a different story. What right. In the bill of rights. Matters to you must. Pick one of I think you -- pick one of which one would you choose. I would think. And the birth of the second. Probably the first because of you don't have freedom of speech if we cannot treat this as speak freely to each other. We lose the essence of who we are. Remember that. As a recap here a little bit of mark Lloyd he's the FCC diversity czar. He has said this about Hugo Chavez."

" Yeah. She. Ingraham. He is also said the Fairness Doctrine doesn't go far enough -- this. And less clear conscious of the need to have more people of color. Gays. I think people in those positions we will not change the problem. But you have written written. -- position we're you have to you have to say who is going to step down. So someone else can have power."

" Play that sounds positively on. American. Yesterday we had two stories that seem like no big deal if you didn't know what was behind them. The first story was about the government getting into Internet regulation remember. Protect you from the shady Internet blogger trying to scam you into buying the perfect pancake maker. All the government is here just trying to help you. That also the other story was the FTC. The FCC but the FTC. This get together for a -- lots now all conference in December of the first and second of December. They just want to talk about how they can help journalists do their job. -- right now speech there to. They want to know should there be extra funding for journalists -- tax credits for certain news organizations. In. -- have -- gravy train's about to come I'm sure should the government be more involved. Okay remember those two stories here now let me introduce you now to a friend of mark -- in fact --"

" Also a friend of banned Jones he funded. Or founded a little group called free press. They are looking for anything but free press. Let me tell you a little bit about the founder Robert McChesney. He is the former editor of monthly review which he himself has described. As one of the most important Marxist publications in the world let alone the United States. He is a backer of Hugo Chavez the crackdown on the media and even suggested that owners of the TV station that was critical of Chavez should be arrested for treason. While the tells the mark Floyd back after they know each other he is said quote about the US. Any serious effort to reform the media system. Would have to be necessarily part of a revolutionary. Program to overthrow the capitalist system itself. All so there is no real answer but to remove brick by brick of the capitalist system itself. Rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles well why not world socialists now. We need to do what -- we can to limit capitalist propaganda. Regulate it minimal -- it and perhaps even eliminating it. Quote the fight against hyper commercialism becomes especially pronounced in the area of digital communications. Well that would be the Internet wouldn't."

" Here is yet another. Far left radical who hates capitalism. Now let me tell you live -- more about free press. Free press who worked with Obama during his campaign to help develop his -- policies. Well what would some of those quotes we just at they got what and he was there helping develop the tax policies of this White House. Free press has three confirmed meetings now -- Obama's FCC. To work on new Internet regulations I were from the government and we're just here to help. The FCC chairman not to be consumed concede it's confused with the diversity -- this is the chairman. Of the FCC Julius genachowski. Chose free press spokeswoman -- Howard to be his Press Secretary it. The Marxist quote the most important Marxist group possibly in the world but definitely America. That person was taken to be here is spokesperson. Ha. Free press also co authored the structural imbalance of talk radio. Will mark law made it is that the bookmark lawyer didn't -- and in that book they argued for the government to remedy the problem. Of conservative voices on talk radio by among other things. Forcing commercial owners who failed to abide by their rules to pay a fee that would subsidize public broadcasting. I said at the beginning freedom of speech is the most important right. Because if I can't meet with you tonight and in the same breath let me say this. If Keith Olbermann cannot meet with you every night if we're not allowed to say things that other people find offensive that. If we're not allowed to talk to each other express opinions. Well than anybody could get away would just about anything to thing."

" Will depress the actual free press at least to date at what time is that yes still free today. Will be even bother to question a group. With a radical Marxist founder based in marxism. Would they even question that group that wants to drastically changed their own industry. You know what maybe they'll become interested if McChesney calls a Republican and -- name I'm not sure. But let me just say this to members of the press that are ignoring this -- thinking well -- it's no big deal. If you embrace these people or if you sit down and work with these people. You might as well just go out and purchase your own blindfold and cigarette for the firing squad because I don't see the difference here. More on free press. Next."

told me look you're already paying for the people who don't have health insurance because they don't get turned away. We're compassionate country and when they go into hospitals say I need any treatment. We give it to them and who wind up footing that bill the rest of the taxpayers so he could turn around a trillion dollar number but that's probably. Smaller than the number that were already forking out to pay for the people without health insurance is that a fact.
