everybody knows that rush limbaugh married another woman, a little while ago, if i could not have the one man to complete me there was no other choice. >> larry: you finally decided to. >> yeah. >> larry: good choice. >> why are you opposed to two people who want to share a life together, being together? >> i'm not. i'm oweopposed to one thing, on one thing, the redefinition of marriage. i've don't think every society in history, including ours, every religion, every secular

watch. >> rush limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails.you're saying, you hope america fails? i don't care about people losing their home, jobs. soldiers in iraq. he just wants the country to fail. to me, that's treason. he's not saying anything differently than what osama bin laden is saying. you might want to look into this, sir, because i think rush limbaugh was the 20th hijacker but he was just so strung out on oxycontin he missed his flight. come on. too much? okay. >> larry: you think you went a little too far there? >> not at all. not at all. >> larry: there's no connect here, right, between here and you, right? >> probably not. it might be a little speed bump, you know, just a little one. >> larry: have you heard from rush limbaugh fans since then? >> i did get a nasty note but, you know, who cares, you know? who cares? you know, here's the problem. rush limbaugh is a filthy rich guy. and he's playing on the emotions of poor people. he's telling poor people that, hey, you know, obama's going to take this, take that away from you, a

. >> it is one thing for the land back and rush limbaugh to say that. -- glenn beck and rush limbaugh to say that. what happens when moderates say that? >> that is why i think it is about what you said. when he is asked about the level of unemployment in america, he needs to talk about the specific things to be done. obviously, the universal stuff, i did not know anyone on the left to does not believe in universal health care, more money for jobs and schools, but you have to deal with a specificity. a lot of the stock is not even about what the government has to do. the truth is a lot of the stuff we can do to move forward equity we can do on our own. a lot of it is about the conversations we have in our home. a lot is what we do and do not have our teachers say in their schools. a lot is what employers have to do to step up and realize the role of racism continues to play and the subtle bias we all have internalized plays in evaluating how we see college applicants. if i am going to see this, i am going to try harder to make sure we do not act upon that. the problem is if we do not t

news went on obama's birthday politics and fund raising but no family and even rush limbaugh couldn't help himself he's even questioning if it's really the president's birthday at all. come tomorrow is obama's birthday not that we've seen any proof of that once more was obama's birth center and they're trying to really obama's base by sending out fund raising letters what what what surely what we haven't seen any proof of that. is the birth there we haven't seen the proof of it. oh rush only you the burgers and orly taitz believe today's not his birthday so rush limbaugh and the rest of the media feeding the hype over obama's family being out of town for his birthday or questioning if it's his birthday at all you are tonight's tool time winners and party pooper. a ruling by the supreme court earlier this year triggered very much debate the court says corporations can spend on limited amounts of money on political campaigns now well now we're actually seeing one of the first cases of a major corporation giving money to a group running ads for a candidate in the minnesota government's r

michelle obama trip to spain. >> the thing i'm struggling with here and i'm not going to call rush limbaugh a racist but that's a racial attitude saying black people have never traveled abroad until the first lady got her shot at spain. i mean, look, i speak three languages. i lived in europe. i lived overseas. the idea that she's getting back at white people for slavery for paying her own way to take her daughter to spain is extraordinary hyperbole. it's ridiculous. for somebody to say that seriously shows that there is this -- >> did you hear the program where he said it? >> i did. i heard where he said it. >> dana, let me ask you whether or not you take these allegations, these charges, coming after the first lady, do you take this stuff seriously? >> as far as her criticism for going. >> yes this is seriously. i don't agree what robert gibbs was saying. here's the deal when you start going out promoting policy, when you dip your toe into the little proverbial pool of policy you cease end being a private citizen. you can't be a private citizen when you enjoy a ton of public perks. >> she

i listened to rush limbaugh saying we're not islam phone bick. -- phone bick. >> barack obama is from a different background and america has embraced him. e idea that glenn beck is being controlled by rupert murdoch as the puppet master gets things wrong. when you look at glenn beck, you see someone for -- for example remember the million man m. people were terrified, it caused consternation, but what you saw was tons of african-american men got together and it was about identity, and pride. i think when you're looking at our politician right now, in the economic downturn, you see confusion and uncertainty. there's a decent number of people who feelot n like have-knots but are-knots. they don't feel respected and want to assert them. >> what about the glenn beck contingency? >> small towns, and rural areas, white. kris identified. chris: who is their ville cran? >> i don't think there's a villain. chris: come on. >> the one thing the million man march has in common with the glenn beck march is anger. this is the greatest democracy and most prosperous country in the history of the worl

chris: you keep reminding me we're in the 21st strrment if sarah palin or rush limbaugh says something all of a sudden they're steak -- speaking to everyone whether they like it or not. before we break, a little romance the major -- for more than 30 years this man salt down to ploo the piano for presidents. nixon's idea of hospitality was according to sergeant smith what tricky. >> he would come on board with these empty bottles of whine -- wine that when you looked at them you thought you were getting a $300 bottle of wine. he would take them to the ga ley and set up to fill them with the cheapest wine he could fine. carlo rossi or something like that, the president of the united states filling the bought doctor bottles with a funnel. so i would be there and tap, tap shall 257, it would be time for the toast. you would watch each guest as they would savor this $300 bottle of wine. oh, this is just fantastic, the president thinks this of -- much of us to do this. oh, this is the best wine we've ever had dan nixon would look at me and just, "got them again." [laughter] chris: smith hd a

>> you bust rush limbaugh. he learned there is a fourth amendment to the constitution. seriously, how do we do it? i am not sure. one of the things that i struggled with, in particular, in robert blake's case, when i got into the case, i was determined not to get caught up in the media and to be the same person at the end of the case as i was at the beginning. i think of lawyers need to be lawyers, not try to be entertainers. you would know better. >> just so you know, i covered him while he was trying that case and desperately tried to get him to come to me during the case. i felt it was so important for the public to understand the constitutional issues that were coming up, but he rightly wanted to remain focused on the client and case at that time. so how do we educate the public while remaining true to the cause of the work? >> i was going to have a hard time controlling these guys. >> you have a panel of lawyers and you are telling them to shut up, and you are not even wearing a black robe. [laughter] by the way, putting a black robe on a suit does not give you a g

but what if -- what if rush limb b limbaugh is right?t if today wasn't the president's birthday? that would mean his birthday is some other day. for all we know, it could be in october. it would change everything, right? i mean, really. a new poll of americans found that a quarter of us doubt barack obama was born in the united states. which is -- surprising to me. we thought it would be fun to send a camera out on the street to ask people where barack obama was born. >> do you know where barack obama was born? >> no. >> do you know where barack obama was born? >> chicago, right? >> chicago? >> um -- indonesia. >> virginia? i don't know. >> no idea. >> southern state, um, tennessee, georgia? >> not here in the states. >> indonesia? >> texas? >> do you know where barack obama was born? >> um, hawaii? >> i don't know. >> i know. in a cabin. >> jimmy: i think he may be thinking of a different president. well -- we're dumb, what are you going to say? this afternoon, a federal judge overturned proposition 8 which banned gay marriage in califo

are out of power right now and they don't have a national leader, i do think that people like rush limbaugh, glenn beck, fox news--i think they have more power to drive a story and to get conservatives fired up than john boehner or mitch mcconnell. so i do think that that's happening. and increasingly--and this is a little bit new--you see that on the left as well, and that wasn't true a couple of years ago, because now you have the huffington post, which is a hugely trafficked and very popular web site, especially for liberals. you have msnbc, which in prime time has made the decision, the calculated decision, to really cater to liberals. so they have the same power that the right has had for some time through talk radio on the left, and i think both of those forces really can push and press a story. >> sir? >> what can the media do to hold elected officials and media personalities accountable for lying about facts? >> well, we can continue to try to ask them the questions and look at what they say, and of course, investigative reporters can look at what they do and their people do and bri

and from everyone's favorite obama hater rush limbaugh. has a beach closed down in spain after taken forty of her best friends in a leasing sixty rooms in a five star hotel paid for by you because they deserve it. come on russia where do you get your facts taxpayers are not paying for the hotels those are being paid for by the first family that's why obama has a salary and by the people that are accompanying them on the trip but you know i don't let those facts get in the way of a good old story and that's why you guys the media are tonight's tool time winners for your over the top coverage of michelle's little trip to spain because personally i think the first lady deserves a vacation. now this past friday marked the dropping of the atomic bomb on hiroshima three days later the u.s. dropped a second bomb on nagasaki creating even more damage and destruction but as our t. correspondent sean thomas reports the effects of those bombs are still being felt six years later as people continue to suffer emotional and physical effects of nuclear w

within 24 hours after rush limbaugh got on the air, announcing that, he apologized. i do not underestimate the power of some of these outlets, but we have to counter them by trng to get the best information we can out there. >> your style is traditional washington gentleman's to. what i know this is when you guys get lied about by your opposition, when they lie about the president, when they lie , you members of congress a guys do not come out and say you have lied and prove the facts. why don't you do that? >> i think we do. one of the concerns americans have around the country is the tone of our politics. i think a lot of that style that you see on the other side, which i think you accurately describe in termsf the tone -- no doubt there are people who have misrepresented the facts. w, the fact that the matter is i do not think americans appreciate necessarily the total food fight. i believe at the end of the day people will look at the facts and information, but it is our job to get that information out there, and that is what you are going to be seen over the nex

rush limbaugh just sold his penthouse in new york for $11 million. the apartment is amazing though.t a 24-hour doorman and a 24-hour pharmacy. it's just -- fantastic. [ light laughter ] [ scattered applause ] this is pretty crazy -- on saturday, the american association of nude recreation -- [ light laughter ] -- what? [ scattered cheers ] what? i said the american association of nude recreation tried to break a world record for most people skinny dipping at once. in other news, the oil spill is now the second most disgusting ocean disaster of all time. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] big news, you guys. the situation from "jersey shore" is releasing his own workout dvd. [ cheers ] there you go. unfortunately, it's just an hour of him pointing to his abs saying, "you wish, bro."

everybody knows that rush limbaugh married another woman, a little while ago, if i could not have the one man to complete me there was no other choice. >> larry: you finally decided to. >> yeah. >> larry: good choice. >> why are you opposed to two people who want to share a life together, being together? >> i'm not. i'm oweopposed to one thing, on one thing, the redefinition of marriage. i've don't think every society in history, including ours, every religion, every secular society was evil, hate filled and had it wrong when they defined marriage as a man and a woman. that's all that any of us are opposed to. we want gays to be happy. we don't want them ever harassed. they are created in god's image just like heterosexual is. however, redefining marriage means that from now on, gender doesn't matter. man, woman, who ever you marry it doesn't matter. that has never been the case. no one ever advocated it prior to now. and all we ask is to keep marriage ats it its mail/female. >> larry: what's wrong with that argument? >> it belies the very basis of the founding of this country we said

as far as fox, rush limbaugh, hannity, they are all building to incite some kind of race war.e talked to several people about this. they say, "you should really not say that stuff or listen to that garbage." that is reverse psychology. they are doing everything they can to try and start a race war. what do you think about that? host: thank you for your call. guest: i hope that is not their motivation. the president seeks to get a comprehensive health will which is called a death bill. then they argue. these are insightful diversionary challenges and are not good for the country. they compare him to hitler. that is not fair. what america needs today, we learned to survive apart and we must learn to live together. we are multiracial, multicultural society. we must seek parity. football, basketball, baseball, we do well. we need the playing field even. the goals are clear. under those conditions, that is the great american dream. we would have real access to health care and jobs and college and housing. we must and the disparity with this half and half mind which would make us a

stuffing from the right wing, rush limbaugh and the like imam obama and all that, it's become -- >> chris: steve? >> his approval ratings aren't sinking because people have the misunderstanding that he's a muslim. his approval ratings are sinking because the economy is in the tank. that is the fundamental problem. this is not because there is some concerted campaign to make him out to be the other or to make him out to be a muslim. i think it has to do with good people generally of good faith, who are misunderstanding the campaign that the white house has launched. in a sustained way for 19 months of the presidency for outreach to the muslim world. >> chris: let me switch this a little bit. the controversy over the mosque near grand zero continued this week. we saw and i think everyone expected that after the president weighed in, now you are going to suddenly get everybody weigh in, every democrat asked, harry reid, the democratic leader in the senate came out against building the mosque there. house speaker nancy pelosi had a very different reaction. let's watch. >> there is no question

as far as fox, rush limbaugh, hannity, they are all building to incite some kind of race war. i have talked to several people about this. they say, "you should really not say that stuff or listen to that garbage." that is reverse psychology. they are doing everything they can to try and start a race war. what do you think about that? host: thank you for your call. guest: i hope that is not their motivation. the president seeks to get a comprehensive health will which is called a death bill. then they argue. these are insightful diversionary challenges and are not good for t country. they compare him to hitler. that is not fair. what america needs today, we learned to survive apart and we must learn to live together. we are multiracial, multicultural society. we must seek parity. football, basketball, baseball, we do well. we nd the plang field even. the goals are clear. under those conditions, that is the great american dream. we would have realccess to health care and jobs and college and housing. we must and the disparity with this half and half mind which would make us a mo

. >> we've heard rush limbaugh, howard stern say it, people say it a lot.f criticism right now. >> pc, got to be careful what you say. dr. laura's gotten in trouble, dropping the "n" word 11 times in five minutes. you know the back story by now. apparently, guess who's coming to her defense. the one and only sarah palin. apparently sarah palin went on twitter to defend dr. laura, saying dr. laura, don't retreat, reload. she wrote this wednesday. steps aside because her first amendment rights cease to exist, thanks to activists trying to silence. isn't american. not fair. what happened to dr. laura, dr. laura saying she's off the air at the end of the year, not going to renew her contract, who knows what the future may hold. ended her career on a controversial note but at least she has alaska in her corner. >> there's so much speculation what will happen to dr. laura right now. will she get her own show? will she have a don imus situation pop up for her? >> just lick the jetblue attendant, she'll get on another show, she'll be back. controversy sells. >> fro

. >> if you have this massive turnout, does this solidify his standing like a rush limbaugh? >> i absolutely think it does. in some ways, if you look at what limbaugh what was to do in 1994 in terms of, in a sense, galvanizing and solidifying, the newt gingrich revolution and spreading its ideas throughout the country, beck has been able to do with the tea party movement, which i think existed in many ways before glenn beck. if glenn beck wasn't the avatar for this movement, somebody else would be. independent conservatives out there are genuinely angry, and he is the best voice to give to them. he is a marvelous communicator. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> thank you, chris. it's a busy morning for storm watchers. ironically, as we reach the fifth anniversary of katrina, we have storms, three of them, lined up in the atlantic and headed in our direction. good morning, lonnie. >> the storms just lined up are like airplanes getting ready to come in for a landing. we have danielle, earl, and a tropical wave. keep your eye on that. most likely that will be develo

members in the house and senate in tight races gain traction by embracing people like glenn beck and rush limbaugh? maybe by embracing their policies, but not those people. it is a consequence of reading the tea leaves, and knowing the mood of the country. this is an anti-incumbent election. host: next, a democratic caller. caller: there is an old saying my grandmother said, as well as my mother -- be careful. you might get what you ask for. i'm a democrat. i will speak honestly. so be it. we will see what the republicans will do if they get in charge. if they get in charge. the only thing that i have heard from the republicans -- i will not be biased -- if they have good ideas, i will greet them, but all i hear is anti-obama. i am so sick of the anti-obama republicans. another point -- there are many independent and republicans got disenfranchised with president bush and change over. all of this anti-rhetoric going on against islam, anti-this, anti-anything that president obama proposes -- be careful what you ask for, because you might get it. guest: that is an excellent point. the idea that if r

host: has anyone mention the real hero rush limbaugh who sued palm beach and 1? -- and one? guest: he certainly has raised questions about pharmaceutical records. in fact, there are a lot of people who have done very important work protecting our metal record privacy. i have in mind dr. debra kileil that has really led the charge in washington on behalf of patients to safeguard their medical and permission. she and many others have done a lot to help strengthen medical record privacy in the united states. host: celebrities are particularly vulnerable. there is a market for the information. guest: yes, there is. a lot of systems at hospitals are actually decided to flag record access to celebrities, politicians, and other people where it might ask is this person accessing the record for inappropriate purpose, or is this someone snooping around to find interesting information? there was a case a couple of years ago at the state department involving passport records of senator obama and senator clinton and senator mccain. people were trying to figure out if there was something

i agree with rush limbaugh. i hope that barack obama fails because i think his policies, if carried through fruition, will be very harmful to our country. host: st. petersburg, florida. mary, republican. hi. caller: yes. good morning. you know, my -- i'm going to get to my original commept but i'm also going to say that i am a conservative catholic, polish, republican. and on the last point, i do agree that our government influences people's -- they do tend to influence people to violate their own consciences. and there are so many people, nonthinking people, who just believe that, you know, if it's legal it's right. and, of course, that's ridiculous. women have been duped into that , and our government wants people to eliminate these babies so they're going to save all this money. and that's leaked out of nancy pelosi's mouth. ok. back to my original comment. i wanted to take issue with you because at first it sounded as though you were saying that people who worked all their lives, my husband and i did, not in
