Bill right. I dont know about this. So you took my advise. I took your advice. Go see the movie argo. I saw it this weekend. Holy cow. That is a fantastic movie. Bill yeah very, very well done. Its a gripping story. I didnt know anything about these six people who holed up in the canadian embassy, the americans. Yeah, a lot of times when you see the adaptation of i read the book and a lot of time when they do these adaptations they take a lot of liberties. Like titanic. But this stays really true to the story as far as i know it. And i wont spoil anything but stick around until the post credits. There is a surprise in there. Bill yeah, i loved it. And dan with you with us here yeah, absolutely. Bill what . Im sorry, i was working. Bill how dare you work on this show. Im so sorry. Bill so giants. Holy cow. Bill they were out. And the giants said huhuh. They were pull of piss and viger last night. He is there. He has got it. And were going to game seven in the nlcs the giants have won five straight elimination games in this post season. And they take it here tonight. Bill how does he say they won five straight. They lost but they were in mustwin situations. They lost. And they were done. Bill right. By the way that is espn radio, not to knock them at all, but the giants announcer might have been a little more excited. I was going to bad, and i thought this sounds all too familiar for nats fans. But they held on. Nothing against the cardinals, but since they beat four nats we hate them. Oh, hate them. I want to see them go down in flames. Bill gregg palace has a new book out about stealing the election. Hell be joining us. Julie mason from sirius xm potus channel we will be here. But first. On this monday call it the 11th commandment thousand shall not tebow. The jets backup quarterback is one step closer to getting his trademark where he prays into his helmet. They have filed with the u. S. Patent and Trademark Office to make sure his trademark stays his own. Bill you patent praying . Its like if he was to do this. All of a sudden he was going to trademark bill i saw a woman in church yesterday. Oh no tebowing. Tom hank spoke in character, and accidentally dropped an fbomb. Both he and vargas apologized immediately for the slip. Im sure if anybody was going to do it and get away with it it would be tom hanks. Bill thing of the restraint i have to display on this program. Uhhuh. There is a rocket set to blast off tomorrow to head to the u. S. Space station. The astronauts will join three who are already there. They are preparing for a cargo supply shipment. I still find it humiliating that to get there we have to hitch a ride with the russians. I agree. To be fair the russians have a very nice muledrawn rocket. Bill yeah, right. I mentioned friday they was going out to fairfax, virginia president obama with a big Campaign Rally at george mason university. The president is always going to ohio, vegas, colorado and then back to florida, and having a show here in washington, d. C. It is hard for me to go on the road with him. So it was a lot of fun. 10,000 people there on campus on a very cloudy misty kind of day. The motorcade came out, and he was introduced busy by ciseal richards. And she did a very good job. They came out and were kind of visiting with us reporters, and i hadnt seen jen in a while and i said so president is in good form today, and she said oh, yeah he is going to have a lot of fun today. He has a very funny riff on romneyrom nesia. It was very funny summing what romneys position used to be and what is he now. The crowd got it right away and they went wild. Obama he is for getting what his own positions are, and he is betting you will too. Is changing up so much backtracking, side stepping. We have to name this condition that hes going through. I think i think its called romneshia. [ laughter ] caller the crowd got it right away. And he said here are some examples. Obama im not a medical doctor, but i do want to go over some of the symptoms with you. Because i want to make sure nobody else catches it. [ laughter ] obama its you know, if you say if you say you are for equal pay for equal work but you keep refusing to say you would sign a bill that protects equal pay for equal work you might have romneshia. If you support legislation that would let your employer deny equal pay, you right have romneshia if you say you are a champion of the cole industry when file you were governor you stood in front of a coal plant and said this plant will kill ya, thats romneshia. [ laughter ] bill and then he summed it all up and said its not all bad news because if you realize that you have got this condition, we have got good news for you. Obama and if you come down with a case of romneshia, and you cant seem to remember what is on your website or the pollties pollties policies you have been running on for six years. Obamacare covers your condition. [ laughter ] bill it was great. The crowd loved it. I thought it was brilliant. 86655press, and you and i can come up with a lot of different examples. It is true the guy is the colossal flip flopper of all time. When he was governor he was progay rights now he is is an guy gay rights. When he was governor he was anticoal, and now he is pro coal. Remember, when he was governor of massachusetts he was antiassault weapons. Now he is for assault weapons. This guy does have a bad case of romneshia. But the other thing that was funny is, and by the way this this is going to live. This is one of those phrases that is going to live in american politics. I love it. But what was also pathic was the republican response. The response from the Romney Campaign was ha ha just what he need is another stand up comedian times are so tough how dare he make jokes. And marco rubio this was the best he could come up with. What they are wondering is that is very cute mr. President , but what is your plan for the future. Bill yeah, why dont you try to explain some of the flip flops, because nobody knows what he really believes. And the reason why . He doesnt even know what he believes. Because he has a bad case of. Romneshia. Lets talk about it. 86655press. Announcer this is the bill press show. Yourself. With governors granholm, spitzer, and Vice President gore, watch the only truly experienced president ial debate coverage. Jack youre a little boring. Boring. Boring. [ jack ] after lauren broke up with me, i went to the citi private pass page and decided to be. Not boring. Thats how i met marilyn. Giada. Really good. Yes [ jack ]. And alicia.

Joe doesnt know it yet, but hell work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. Hell start investing early, hell find some good people to help guide him, and hell set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. vo cenk uygur is many things. Oh really . Tax cuts dont create jobs. The golden years as the conservatives call them, we had the highest tax rates, and the highest amount of growth, and the highest amount of jobs. Those are facts. If you ever raise taxes on the rich, youre going to destroy our economy. Not true announcer on your radio, and on current tv this is the bill press show. Bill how about it . 25 minutes after the hour here on the full court press. Monday morning, good to see you today, how about it . We are talking about romneyshia. President obamas colorful and absolutely spoton riff about mitt romney. I was out at george mason. This happened on friday afternoon, on youtube that video already has almost half a million views. Bill yeah, it went viral. I talked to so many people over the weekend. On twitter we are tweeting after seeing romneys oneterm as governor massachusetts supports the president by nearly a two to one margin there. And which of my homes did i wake up in this morning. Thats romneyshia. [ laughter ] bill josh from burlington new york. Caller i heard a promo where people wanted more leadership than less. And they want the leadership to not lead them into war with iran. Bill yes, that would be interesting. The fact that the United States may having one on one talks with iran, may be helpful for the president , right . Yes, and vote. Bill the crowd would boo when he say romney. And the president would say dont boo, vote. Tom in iowa. Caller good morning, bill. Governor romney keeps citing the fact that he worked across the aisle with all of the democrats, and i submit he had to do that. He couldnt bulldoze his way through, like he has in these last two debates, or tried to. Bill thats a good point. He had to work with them because the house and senate were heavily democratic. And as we have heard since then he did not go out of his way to work with them. He vetoed lots and lots of bills. Announcer this is the bill press show. Ill look it up during the break.

Start the night with a special live edition of talking liberally with Stephanie Miller at 7 eastern. Only on current tv. Announcer chatting with you live, at current. Com billpress. This is the bill press show, live own your radio, and current tv. Bill hey, its 33 minutes after the hour. Good morning, everybody. We are the full court press coming to you live from our nations capitol and bringing you the news and taking your calls of the day. Brought to you this hour by the union of machinists. For more information about their good work you can go to that website at goiam. Org. Joining us in studio former White House Correspondent for the advocate, and my buddy down at the white house. Carey, anybody who gets up in the first hour of the show and shows up in studio as i told bill where else would i be at this hour. Bill i can think of at least one other place. [ laughter ] bill but just remember i was here before you were. Thats right. As i was riding over on my bike i thought bill press does this every morning. Every morning. Anyway. Bill you and sister Simon Campbell are the only two guests i know of that show up on their bikes. So a nun . Bill yes. And its a little more difficult for her to ride because she has that great big habit. Okay. She doesnt wear that come on. Bill so how are you . I am well. Thank you. Bill lets talk about the gay rights issues. On obama and romney is there a clear difference . Sure, undoubtedly. I mean bill it is like night and day . It is like night and day. First of all, you know, president obama came out for support samesex marriage. So that is huge. He essentially took the issue off of the table because of that. Bill it took him a long time by the way. It did. And certainly its not the only issue bill but a huge difference. Yes, because romney supports the federal marriage amendment. Just yesterday there was a piece floated at buzzfeed saying that you know bill he was dropping his support. So all of our listeners and viewers understand. The federal marriage amendment is an amendment to the constitution of the United States saying marriage can only be between one man and one woman. And thats in the respect party platform. And the signed a pledge in the primary to support that amendment. And now yes. Now buzzfeed reported that nothing has changed he still is against samesex marriage, nothing has changed but he would allow the states to decide. Bay bucannon said that. The reporter his first issue was trying to make sense of what she was saying. So they floated this headline that he was backing off his support of the federal marriage amendment. And then repeated calls to the campaign have not been returned. So basically within i would say about an hour of floating that piece there was a response from the campaign saying no no no. Romney still supports the federal marriage Amendment Bill you know what you call that . Romneysia. Romneysia [ laughter ] anyway. So its kind of funny because as the candidate goes so goes his surrogates. She was trying to have it both ways too. Bill so now his official position is he is in support. Yes. They were trying to repeal dont ask dont tell and they are sort of all over the place as usual. Bill dont i recall when he was running for senate against Teddy Kennedy, and he was governor of massachusetts that he said im going to be stronger on gay rights issues than Teddy Kennedy. I think so, i dont remember that, but he also is going to be more pro choice than Teddy Kennedy was, and now look at that. It is no different than any other part of his complain. The day after president obama came out for samesex marriage. Romney was on saying i wouldnt object to samesex couples being able to adopt. And within 24, 48 hours, he was walking that back. That was during the primary still. Bill i have a couple of neighbors, a gay couple happen to be two men, i dont know whether they are married or not. But they are big romney supporters. What is this a death wish on their part . What do you say you must have gay friends as well who who support romney. If you ask those guys i would say, the economy is our number one issue. I also do know a fair number of people who would call themselves republican who voted for obama in the first election, and a lot of them i mean look its not like im doing a random sample of a thousand people, though you are not publishing the kerry poll. I wish i were. I would skew it every time. [ laughter ] bill at least she admits it. Its true. Would lie. I would lie. But there are a number of republicans that i would talk to who said im going to vote for obama again, but i gave a speech to a law firm in new york on obamas record on gay rights and lbgt issues, and certainly a number of the folks in that room were republican. And i talked to one lawyer afterwards in particular. Youngish guy so were talking 25 to 30 demographic. And he said im a republican but the Supreme Court is one of the biggest things that is going to happen in the upcoming administration, and i cant turn that over to romney. Bill on some of the state issues there are four four marriage amendments yeah marriage measures bill on the ballot in different states. Three would say we want to go on record saying we want to go on record affirming samesex marriage. Yes, and thats in washington, maryland and maine. Bill how do they look . Maryland looks good. All of the numbers look pretty good. In maryland the latest poll shows 53 for the amendment. In maine we have 55 for 39 against. Thats good. And in washington we have got 54 for samesex marriage, and 38 against. So all of those numbers look positive. But these polls almost always underestimate the antigay vote because no one really wants to get on the phone with a pollster. They dont want to come across as bigoted or antigay or whatever. Of those three measures, i think were poised to make history with at least one of them. And even getting one of them right, would be the first time bill and in minnesota i
