If you lived here in ohio, you see, ohio the states like texas and oklahoma, louisiana, maryland, new york, and , they steal about 75 billion from the state of ohio ever year.

For having meyou on. I would prefer not to talk politics at thanksgiving, but with all these people who have barely seen each other in a year or more, it is inevitable that it comes up. Personally, there are members of ,y family that are provincial to say the least, and there are members that are in college, and its really hard to get it a bridge going between them. Usually, one side blurts out and the other side stays quiet to avoid conflict. Its hard to have a conversation about politics at thanksgiving. Sheridan, what issues do you expect to come up . Caller ferguson, the overall performance of president obama, and our lack of faith in congress. Host all right, sheridan in ohio, independent. Politicsoing to talk today on this thanksgiving, 2014 .

Some other issues that might come up this morning is the atlantic constitutional journal with this story. One marine apply for health coverage. It is off to a solid start, according to the administration. And then the Houston Chronicle has the story. By the way, next to that story this morning is a sidebar story about Justice Ruth Bader to berg, 81, is expected at work next week after she had put in yesterday. She is hospitalized for a heart talk aboutreviving how long the liberal jurist will be staying on the supreme court.

Are you a republican . Caller i tend to be a republican, to be honest. Actingington, they are i tend to be a democrat, to be honest a stop in washington, they are acting in a way that i cannot follow along with. I align more with republicans, to be honest. My father was from poland and the laws would not allow him to come here and be a part of this country. It was very frustrating to try to help them get a green card to work consistently in our nation. Politico reported this morning that Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson emerged yesterday as a new leading contender to replace defense secretary chuck hagel, but the race remains fluid and the timeframe for an appointment is still unclear.

I was republican and then went to democrat and then to independent, because basically, most the people in my family know the two parties are pretty well falling off. Theres nothing the average person can do out here. The one guy from ohio, im from ohio, too. They have sent jobs overseas. And maybe thats the reason for whats happening in ferguson. People in america do not have any liberal livable wage jobs. People want livable wage jobs. Its not good to talk politics, icause personally myself, dont think i even have to pay republicanscause and democrats dont represent me. They represent the rich. The average american has an have a raise hasnt had a raise. I made 10. 35 30 years ago. And there are people out here working on that. I was making 10. 35, a gown of milk was . 80 and a gallon of gas was . 50. Host tom brought up ferguson. Thisuffington post morning, their banner is experts are not buying it.

Four newsmakers this sunday, we shock, r h regime rajieadajit shaw, with shaw, the lead for coordinating the effort against ebola. Heres what he had to say. [video clip] ginny andlook at sierra leone looking at sierra leone and guinea, we have made progress. It will be a long fight to deal with ebola and ultimately, kill it at its source. This will continue many months into the future. In particular, we have taken a very datadriven approach and we have seen results from that. We saw that 70 of transmission in liberia, for example, when transmission was at its peak, members family touching, consulting, kissing to the washing the bodies of deceased people who had died of ebola. So we sent out these ebola teams that had six or seven persons per team. They had personal protective equipment and they go in a dignified way safely dispose of the bodies. Messaging a huge campaign, plus the fact that we now have 820 ebola treatment to get sick,ria that has brought the rate of transmission down dramatically, from as much as more than 100 new cases a day to now 15 to 20 new cases a day.

On twitter, sam says, cannot help talking about it. It directly attack directly affects your table fare. And richard says, politics is live, ill talk politics any time, any day. Michael in detroit, go ahead. Caller we talk politics every day. I dont know how you can live without talking politics, because politics is nothing but group ethics, and ethics is the code of values that determines your choices and actions. When people say they dont want to talk politics, that means they are being disingenuous. You cannot live without talking politics. One of the subjects we will talk about is that money is playing such a large part in the election. When they turn money into speech, they are saying that the group that has the most money will have the most to say. They cannot stand on their own rhetoric, so they by public giveions firms and they out the best advertisement and try to make good candidates look at her. Second of all, we will talk about immigration. Intoan you invite people your country when you aint got enough jobs for the people already in your country . That is crazy. Inviteu will you people to your thanksgiving table if you cannot feed them all . Has an adverse affect on the africanamerican. How ironic. They built this country with slave labor. , and thenbuilt rebuilt by integrated labor from immigration labor from mexico. And now they want to get bit of them. But you wanted them to do the slave jobs. Doingen you say they are jobs that other people wont do, though jobs that other people wont do shouldnt be a job in america. That means you are not paying them right. That means you are not giving them the type of benefits they deserve. That means that is slavery. I dont care what other name you put it by. When you dont pay the people right, and as the guy said earlier, the cost of living has ifen to such a point that the county across and the wages they are paying the costday, the way of living has risen, people are losing. Michael. Right, in california, democratic caller, go ahead. You on the air, florida flora. My soninlaw, we really disagree. But im not going to vote democrat anymore because i dont see any point in voting against my interest most of they are not doing anything for us.

Ill we have is what are work . Here you guys warehouses and spanishspeaking supervisors. Says learn english. No, baby, we have to learn spanish. Three of my granddaughters lost jobs because they were not bilingual. Host sharon, oregon city, independent. Caller we will be talking about a lot of things. I wonder why the Treasury Department in 1913 would give away their most honored thing to let our money because by a group of foreign bankers and all of our taxes go to pay the interest , it goes in the pockets of people. Nd they talk about ebola kabola. Eferred to as run, because they know we put things in them. And the ebola czar that obama just put in office come a its wellknown that he wants them dead. How can you not talk about chemical trails and viruses being genetically altered and being joined to those can trails chem trails . They want us dead. Host all right, sharon. Karen in sacramento, democratic caller. Caller the macys parade, fiddling while rome burns. Of course we will be talking to about politics. There was a 12yearold child forpolice shot him dead playing with a gun. They acted as if they were demanding as if he should. Espond like an adult and he didnt respond like an adult criminal, survey shot him down. So they shot him down. I was in florida many years ago, but we were not going to kill children for playing with guns. Use toy is, you cannot guns and toy tanks at all of these war toys for anything, except to encourage children to play at killing, and that is wrong. The people that manufacture those things and made money off of selling toy guns to foolish parents to give to their children, they bear a whole lot of responsibility here. The New York Times has the story this morning, carol.

Caller i think immigration is a big topic. Also ferguson commandment people dont know that the officer had just say the life of a black baby just before the incident.
