this writer and broadcast aggressive voices dot com is the website

and david welcome to the program conducted
comments always good to be back in please give my regards to doing this
evil man are you have we spent time in the convention with her father who is
now serving by hughes a political prisoner
uh... and i'd known i've known don siegel mint for over thirty years he is
uh... amanda bit complete integrity at fundamental decency and this is as
grade a miscarriage of justice is anything of ever seen in the country
yeah absolutely great and and in fact every single date on this program
we asked people to uh... we've run out the dozens of america's news
political prisoner
and as people to go to free dash don dot org and sign the petition asking
president obama to pardon him
absolutely
sir david varney yeah here we are uh... just two weeks out from the presidential
elections
loaded last now
and
uh... mean that the dot the landscape the voter suppression landscape is with
his breath taking what's going on people getting phony letters done in florida
uh... read the is stuff going on in ohio
manner on this program of families from ohio are cousins running insured brown
and uh... she made a comment button on the on the air here on the show couple
days ago
that what she's seen there is that the other issues ever seen
uh... what's your sense of what's going on and other selection and ship it out
first of all i'm shocked that on a writer's cousin distraught wrandell so
i'd need to recover from that yes
here's my marriage yeah i i i i p eighty married her cousin owners are in or
assisted dot dot around all war semiotic of that graphic that little bit better
but they at what my take is that
berry
dora rhythms in these elections tom and i've been doing them
unfortunately now since nineteen sixty eight and there are so many similarities
that comeback to me as i look at at how
you know this this campaign is played out that the one that first rings a bell
his nineteen sixty eight is richard nixon
because mit romney is running richard nixon's
successful barely successful campaign
against a non incumbent river humphrey
he here and there
as
uh... a reinvention
it as if the old nixon hadn't happened member they actually created with the
help of roger ailes the uh... whisper a doctor single mike douglas show and they
had made a proposal to richard nixon for what he called g_o_p_ t_v_ exactly right
became fox news as i know later on but roger ailes created a new nixons and the
new nixon was nicer friendlier warmer guy who had no ideology at all but he
had a secret plan to end the war in vietnam
which you could only get to find out
if you voted for at does that sound at all familiar
to what we're dealing with here we have it
a guy who will give creek twelve million new jobs to tell you how
until after the election so that just one familiar t another
sadly is nineteen eighty where the threshold for ronald reagan was simply
not
uh... tripping over zone shoelaces on the platform which in the carter
he was then judge in the one debate that they had to be able to serve as
commander in chief and that is the threshold that many in the mainstream
media is saying the mit romney cross the other night that he he looked
like to be a plausible commander in chief even though he doesn't know that
you know that the route to the sea is not through syria
uh... for iran but he wouldn't it wasn't the words it was the dome meaner
so those two things rain chimney but i'll tell you what what i actually think
the parallelism and it is all in ohio
this is two thousand
four in reverse
are actually think we are going to see a situation where president will bomb a
carries ohio and wins the election
too i think it's in it's safe thirteen days out by do not
the other thing that is different than than our history and what you and i grew
up with is we keep talking about election day tom because that's how
we've been raised and there is one day where people go to the polls uh...
turns out now that'd selection mont
there can't be an october surprise because what it had to have happened in
september
this whole
election of third of the vote may be more and that is ready to cast in a all
you know what
all lot in ohio early voting starts in florida on saturday
all these crucial states
voting is happening right now and we can measure we can see it and based on the
metrics based on the numbers that are seeing it's going to be
darn close
but i think if we keep are
the gaps and everyday people work to get votes in that day
in that day in the states
uh... president obama will be re-elected
yeah well
we we shall see david i a i m
i am very
i would i would not be at all surprised to see two thousand for all over again
where where there are all kinds of questions i mean you know i was lost by
sixty thousand those moral assad erty six thousand ballots were never even
opened
uh... john edwards
really really for john kerry he wanted to contest that
that election
uh... wonder about about wanted out of the votes were even counted in the state
they were they were counted by
where tabulated rather kinda and and fed back to the secretary of state by an
artist a company that was doing all the secret email for karl rove
and uh... i mean you know some really serious questions about was a capsule
and now the company that's doing that is in virginia
and some of the republican company
and i know you don't
mean and and and none of us do by reporting on this accurately and getting
people like uh... that due to do the kind of work that you're doing great
alice doesn't others to talk about
abrupt friedman talk about
you know all of these horrible things that happen
to dissuade people from the importance of the vote
well this is this is the this is the thing that that this is the reason why
the democratic party officially refuses to address
the the the reality that our vote has been privatized which is insane unni of
all the things you're gonna privatize
uh... you know the boat should be the very last think is the mechanism by
which everything else uh... everything else happens with the greater the
commons and and whether in and whether there might be some you know through the
high i think the you you think that these machines can be manipulated or
that the tabulate urs or did just dirty tricks can be played
talked about a settlement
of course there are many them
but we have to see announced votes
dated moves outside the margin of error that's the thing is still three million
reach up to five
exactly and that's what that's what has to happen in ohio
i believe it can and we're not tell anyone that their vote won't be cattle
were telling them with they have to get so many votes but there's no way they
can still is and if possible filled impersonation of the your name is on the
role and do not take a placebo ballot make the house of the flight fight fight
to make sure that
you actually get a real bell
absolutely right
so anyway that's betty and so you're
optimistic and i'm pleased to hear that david bender i have i'm cautiously
optimistic and it will remain so control intro ohio was declared for president
obama as was the case four years ago when ohio are
was carried by the president i'd buy happen to be here broadcasting from
grant park a and and watched as fox
had to with their faces there roger ailes faces
you know melting
say obama carries a high
yeah i want to see it again
will be painted a very interesting to watch
