mean his he's one of the he's got in trouble recently of course is a bit exposé so to speak of george soroswhich he basically was rehashing a bunch of tropes about anti semitic. semitic financier's so i think that basic and people are talking also about how dangerous he is compared to a lot of other talk shows i mean there was a there have been people arrested who were going to carry out violence because of stuff they listen to him back so well that was one of the things that surprised me i didn't see any mention of byron williams in your article and i said in a room with a british name now that the guy was frozen the tides foundation goes you know there was a number of us there but he was telling the story of what it was like when he got the call from the state troopers that this guy had fired two hundred rounds into the police cars injured two got two cops and they were on the way to his and he was on his way to his place to kill him and the board that was meeting and he was spouting glenn beck he's. i mean it's a shame it got lost in the in the for the giffords shooting people were focus

george soros gave $1.24 million toward them last year. we know what george soros is about. with my e-mail contact six months ago -- every little three- to five-minutes, they mention obama's name. that's when he's not on vacation. they are a left-wing extension of the democratic party. they are definitely biased. i dispute the contention that they are not biased. host: we want to go back to the clip of steven chu. >> does the president support new nuclear power plant construction in the united states? >> the present budget is what it is. we are asking for loan guarantees. the present budget is also calling for modular reactors. position has not changed. >> soap that is a yes? >> yes. host: back to "u.s.a. today." it points that there is a slower reaction to the japanese cause. wall street journal poll -- "the wall street journal talks about the iaea. that is the wall street journal. westminster, md., wayne of the democratic line. caller: good morning. i do not know how many people are familiar with npr. every week, they have "hot jazz saturday night," which is old jazz from

what's happening to the fortunes of of the rest of us a country i want to mention one thing that george soros actually said today he was talking about china and said that it's a sad fact that western democracies provide less successful leadership in china but he said that their model of state capitalism you know could pose a danger if he becomes the envy of the world do you think that there are other people out there other countries that are envious of china and they're going to want to make their you know their their program well first of all i disagree with the premise that the you know the model of the united states is one that is no longer to be envied every people from all over the world they're looking look to the united states has something to emulate and you know china has been quite successful in recent years and so naturally countries and want to find what's going to work for them especially when growth has been so hard to come for many countries in the world even where there has not been the problems of inequality growth has been high doesn't mean there aren't going to stop and giv
