politics
damage
professionally colleges i've got a bunch of you know some people say they like it
was surprisingly i know you hate it but some of the audience actually likes it
when i talk about what books i've been reading and comment on them
so we actually set up a page on mid-week politics dot com
what steve reading and you can actually check it out and i'll mention it to
books i recently finished up un
looking glass war by john look around
highly recommended not one of his most popular books
excellent
excellent highly recommended right now i'm reading pandora's star
by peter f hamilton
i'm also reading uh... henning mangal mystery
actually reading it in spanish just i decided to bite in spanish it's seven
hundred and fifty pages the in spanish and i said
this is much longer than these books normally are let's see what the english
one is it's like three hundred and fifty pages
i'm sure some of it is that you know the typeface is different to the margins are
are different
out are now it seems like the the spanish version must must be
particularly verbose a noted it would you would you agree with a little bit
more descriptive
antonio okay something about the trip there all translated from swedish sobe
the translation must just be a little bit more more verbose a silly thing i
can think of
i know louis you'll be picking up a couple of those run by playing a part of
them no doubt
okay have you heard about the muslim cabbie who was stabbed her i guess slice
this is really a more appropriate where is crazy
but here is the the the original news report about it
okay drivers of a hospital after being flashpoints a bypass under less than
driver
if he was miles long
would say twenty year old man held a cabin twenty four freedoms sacramental
manhattan tuesday evening
we say the pastor after driver if it was miles on them on the driver's that yes
the passenger pulled a knife
as flash them in the photo arm and look before israel driver was able off the
passenger the back of a cabin call nine one one
both a driver and passenger were taken of bellevue hospital
is anyone still wondering if the current uproar about the so called ground zero
moskos inflaming anti muslim sentiments
and i know luis by saying that
the emails are going to pour in
criticizing me for saying how could i possibly say that
but is it not a fair question to ask
i think it's a very fair question but i think
i think it's really obvious when you've got these or com
i'm not gonna say names but you've got the right wing guys doing a radio shows
just like us there before fire either ranting and ravings are going completely
crazy they've got catches they're not opens its crazy stuff like that
army it reno we thought we talked last resort is before that
they fire people up right they really know how to fire people up we have the
evidence the know that
george tiller
the tether killers one example
goa and just general media coverage to is enough to
to drive people crazy well the guy's name is michael enright is twenty one
years old ob oc med sharif is the victim cab driver the charges of second degree
attempted murder as a hate crime first-degree assault is a hate crime
and forced the greek criminal possession of a weapon the lawyer said about
michael enright
he's terrified he's shocked that the allegations he's just trying to cope
with it right now hey guilty or not you're going to be pretty you get a need
to do some coping with all the sudden you're being charged with murder are you
not right
probably the best way to play it for now bible by the lawyer
what other shoe could possibly drop lewis that would change our are outlook
on semi needs it seems
pupil number one whether or not it was because the guy was a muslim that he was
slashed by michael enright
we don't know its very weird to ask that exchange a couple of more prep
pleasantries and then attack and now here's where it gets interesting this
guy michael enright actually volunteers for intersections international it's a
group that
is work that that works with muslims and other religious groups to further
understanding and so on and so forth and enright actually works with the group's
better in civilian dialogue
and the group itself actually supports the contract construction of that
islamic cultural centre me wheat we can't really speculate about what
happened we can guess
maybe working in that environment angered
the guy edward completely speculating here i've no idea
maybe it was unrelated summer going with the drunk excuse which we saw with mel
gibson you know i don't i don't know
with the reality is but it's an incredible story n_p_r_ right winger joe
scarborough is actually on the ball here
joe scarborough is making more and more sense recently take a listen to what he
said about this along with
his on-air partner mi kha brzezinski
put on my last hour
that we have all of this hate speech whether it's coming from the four riders
is mainly in this instance or the far left another
instances
it's it's these dropped since since you raised people wait people on the edge
that tune into that and and and dot
we look for the right words as we described
the sort of climate in which this is happening
it's kind of hard not to leave the war
the conversation
his ranging in this city and somewhat across the country has had
as it has international or national implications then how can we do not know
the list is certainly is a context in which this is happening
and for to be completely unrelated to what
is the atmosphere
would be bizarre now what about fox debate think this was related to anti
muslim sentiment
much of which by the way is propagated on their own network well
i think you can guess they don't agree with that take a listen to allison
cammarata
on fox and friends
uh... district captain during a stalking are
when it turns out isn't this she was just very drunk chiefly if tears hillary
clinton is a drunken rage now why he asked if the driver was muffled why they
had that exchange in arabic only he knows but it seems like you to give a
struggle with alcoholism he's had a history of just stops with the n_y_p_d_
minor but all alcoholism belated and that that's what is probably behind us
nothing to do with with anti-muslim somalia of course now nothing to do with
that in the years laura ingram flipping out on against when he brings it up
about this was when she was filling in on the alright factor people listed
kabbah
establish told a passenger
he was muslim
kelly-frye scott building hellish okay but we should tell a lot of and i felt
like i felt can't temperature i so she certainly doesn't like that
will see what mark more information we get on this
it would be great if we can actually hear something from the actual attacker
about what is motivation was and what was the deal with that conversation and
that question to the to the muslim driver right
right hopefully next week
we've got more on this
