" Joining the army you're -- yesterday I I promised the the army football team that I where -- today for veterans day even though there's still a navy guys well I'm an honorary marina -- land battles in the airport for four years but. Yeah I'm I'm mom for all branches -- one of the great things about what's happened over the past ten years particularly after 9/11 the branches of the military which used to have kind of turf battles don't have many more on the don't but some went over directly as a part of the task force would. National Guardsmen with the army and they're all working together now the way that I don't think they ever have been -- in fact I was talking them yesterday and that annual west but we'll go to the air force academy to go to Annapolis and they'll interchange so they are working altogether as one as one unit -- and how much of you're time do you spend focus on what the military -- because it seems like he spent a lot of time you've gotten into. Visits to Iraq. In fact that's how I want to put this dust up towards that book. You know 500000. -- effects up there. And if so I'm going to it's on in Iraq fight Blair told us they. 500000. At Chuck -- facts yeah -- we just mentioned to by the way my favorite. Chuck Norris can -- peanut butter and blow bubbles would beef jerky. A blow bubbles would be dirty can do of course. Ha ha ha ha ha I love it but I'm over there and are divided assigned I've visited with 37000. Troops and shook hands and -- of all of them and a business 27 basis. In camps and they're coming shake their hands on a lot of would say they would they'd come at Chuck Norris fact and they say what's your favorite fact I'm -- kind on the left my favorite. I get back called out hello my right my 101 favorite facts some 12000. Pounds of -- As I'm writing them my eight year old twins -- girl twins and -- coming days. I have a fat boy did they tell me something I think you cut and then -- my -- and -- dad I got a fact for you. Chuck Norris -- bullets for breakfast watch -- when he purpose the who. Yeah. And then -- ride Harley you know I'm on a Harley -- first -- these facts veteran Arab or the myths about John Norris is a lot of your feeling about things feeling about the country feeling about faith. Some people might say women are you set the stage for a run for president and -- 1012 up call now a lot of people don't like our god and gotten emails one guy trying to raise two million -- to get need to run for president but. I am not a political person. -- on the -- and got around -- Mike Huckabee -- ride I support people that I believe would be good leaders for a country. And I really believe Mike Huckabee would be an incredible leader. Foreign country is I think number one now Iowa Republican and number candidates and now I'd love to see him run again but he yeah he hasn't made it you know yeah that was what you say I'm sure there -- a lot of people must be -- come on chuck you could be a politician Clint Eastwood did it as mayor. Ronald Reagan became my president a scenario David as -- say I run for office. And I'm debating my opponent and in my opponent starts attack in my character which always happen and I grabbed -- and I took human contact. First of all it it would be great television set and that's what some of these pointy heads down inside the beltway media -- Cho wasn't while the old jokes over the life is out of the other the fact that America's not democracy it's a tough leadership. Cut that trip Dallas to I would go to Washington and I clean it up. I would be so so refreshing -- somebody to tell it like it is on -- camping out they -- course you I do my weekly articles on world net daily and the syndicated with creators syndicate and a and so that's why can't. Tell how I feel about what's going on in -- country in the things that -- the things I feel we need to change you know it's so easy to get to -- that we deal with what's going on inside the beltway every day and of course most of that stuff from our perspective -- very good all the money that they're spending all the -- that their -- But when you see people like the west -- he's in his eyes sought today or you go to the military bases order racket you do. Doesn't that re -- all about the spirit of America I tell -- these are our future leaders in these kids I. Can turn our country around on policy from -- then that. And I think eventually that's what's going to happen we'll go find some really fine ethical. Moral leaders the world -- Get our country going in and the right right do you think they have the same -- the same spirit the same integrity that leaders -- military leaders in the past have had I really believe so I really believe so you don't like Eisenhower. And Petraeus and on -- at this point that's right and day is whether straight cataract pretty absolutely by the way what do you think you you when was the last -- we were in Iraq two years ago this month two years ago when you look at it as having been there and knowing some folks were involved that thing do you think -- your on the right track we are I thought two years ago. I've been there a year earlier. And at 2006. And it was. Pretty -- I had to run for bunkers and all the stuff here and then a year later it after Petraeus shatter Petraeus could win in there. I mean -- I didn't feel that insecure about being out there and the -- on the Syrian border Iran anymore I was not in the middle of nowhere with Liberty Media don't go. And I met a lot of Iraqi Army stuff people who are now. -- getting involved and and not I didn't think they'd know who I want the -- only Saddam Hussein officials to north movies over a bad he but the -- they all knew who were who was and then leader of the the platoon of the Iraqis. I shake his hand he'd gladly get him to -- Beagle had in fact I've got to. Documentary coming -- a few weeks that pulled on my trip to Iraq. And it's incredible now Afghanistan. It's from my perspective is it tougher not in Iraq it's it's like the fact as as complicated as Iraq is Afghanistan's about a hundred times more come out -- what -- I yell at the train in Pakistan now things going on there. Maybe drug dealing from some members and government never I I really truthfully I don't know he's not on all. More troops from the help our our anathema but thing is we have to make a decision. -- we we did put more troops in. Well we take them all out don't can't spend don't remodel want to have dithering -- don't want the fence you can't won't have been you have to make a decision which way you're going to go one way or the other in the president has to make a decision and you personally are not sure which decision would be right well right now. Because of what the generals -- that I would lean toward their recommendation. Of sending troops over there and and trying to. You know I gotta tell ya --"

" Special forces friend the guy is retired from special forces he says what we it's so complex in Afghanistan or somebody corrupt while people there that. What you do is just send in the special forces and kill the bad guys you don't try to police the whole country you know. Now I gotta ask you about other things that are some of them more depressing things from march through perspective on what's going on in Washington not what do you think about DC and spending trillions of dollars also we don't have."

" Thing is for the health care. You know that only 20% of its broken 80% is fine. -- went -- they -- from the 20%. And you change the tort reform to get the interest of this cross in the state lines that can do the things that they're rectify that why tell the whole thing down and trying to build back up. And plus what I really bothered me on the health care bill. Is -- provisions in there one is that the government can go into your home. And dictate how you can raise your children how you should raise your children and that's a provision in there that no one knows about. And every time I expose that they move it to another part of the bill you know I looked America let's stop there anymore. And then that we're -- attorney -- here here it is over here now -- you have -- your people call my -- can -- I can't read that well 2000 pages plus dollar and add your rock T is that it's a light -- lie your way of writing you know for obvious now and all people and I can understand that stuff so my attorneys deciphered for me. And when they came up with this idea that you know they can come into my home and say how I can raise my Tillerson. That's not going to happen and and so the thing is people in America have to be aware that the health care of here. Bill is not just about health care this other provisions in there that would affect us -- very negatively in our country."

" I gotta say though an -- chapter title 46 time Chuck Norris can build a snowman out of range. After hours -- I'm best -- you -- sure that only 2% of our population created the nation today and 2% can change it back for all those who were. To satisfy -- what's happening abroad what's happening in Washington. Only takes 2% to really turn that -- drives that would gumption and the energy to go out and that's exactly right."

" That's how we built our country. And that's how we can get her children up pessimistic non non -- I can I see people starting to wake up I see them saying you know enough of this you know and we've got to up get our country back. Can get away from the socialized concept. Of like Europe if you've been Europeans see in all the ideas travel over there and see what it's like over there you say I want my country being like that. And you know and that's why there's so many doctors practicing in America from Europe. Because they -- because they in the patient get an MRI his statements to a year and none of these doctors said my patient is either died or right as to beyond help. And so we don't want that kind of system and our country and."

" With the 2% fight forest we're not going to have a you're trying Laurie David. Great to see a happy veterans thank you know they have a better do for years the military absolutely well there is still talk about -- hold a 369249. You want to get this book by village -- bookstores now all the proceeds go to foundation got caught -- fix -- foundation terrific Chuck -- thank you very much we'll be right back."

focusing here the onus is on congress because these are cuts the White House wants to make in congress won't let him do it. Emergency operations. Centers this is not as much money. But -- guided senator Harry Reid is involved in this what's that about. Well this is important because. The White House said 35 million dollar they want to cut this program. Harry Reid said and I know sixty million I want sixty million Ford saw everyone thinks there's this big hug upon with the Democrats think congress in the White House . When it comes appropriation when it comes earmarks. That isn't necessarily the case and leadership has the privileges in this case. All right anti smog program and -- for sound like some big it's impossible to be against what's wrong with -- anti smog problem. Program worth ten million bucks in California. While we don't see a lot of positive Kamal the White House but in this case they want this money awarded competitively. Senator Feinstein that none none none now. I want the money I don't care what you want I want this money regard them regardless of competition and David this is the age old battle of congress versus the president. President Bush went up against a Republican congress that try to cut spending he failed out of now we have Obama going up the
series scoreboards saving another 100 million dollars. Well now even when the White House tries to pay lip service to cutting back frivolous programs congress keeps calling them back. The house and senate approving bills that preserve funding. But White House wanted to cut.
