He has be come a manifest, horrified at the views that a listless white house his remarks this week mostly through derision and outrage and seem to further distance is to giuliani from the heroic, above the fray image she carefully burnished after the september 11 attacks, aligning him or us warily with a hard right of the republicans. That is part of the times coverage this morning. Again, it was those statements into place earlier this week that led to the reaction from the white house on friday afternoon. That White House Press conference overseen by josh earnest.

We can send you many of those examples, many of you been in the room when he is made those remarks, both here and around the world. More generally can tell you that it is sad to see when a person who has attained a level of public admiration tarnishes that legacy so thoroughly.

Com cspanwj is our twitter. And you can post on facebook, www. Facebook. Com cspan. Grace, you first up. Go ahead. Caller it seems like the republicans are crucifying the president , or actually anybody that does that. I really feel bad about the governor. You know, i have yet to see president obama stand up and crucify any living person in the United States. What makes these Republican People and i am a swing voter sometimes. What makes them i do not see him standing up in crucifying anybody that speaks out against him. Whats wrong with these Republican People . They just like hate everybody. I am really old. I hate to see the country come to this because the republicans just spent all her time up there. Mcconnell said, first thing right off, we will do everything he did not say our goal is to take care of the American People that pay us. He said, we will do everything we can to obstruct this president. Host grace, if i heard you correctly, did you say earlier that you feel sorry about the former mayor or his statement . Caller i feel sorry that he lowered himself to try to crucify the president. Obama does not crucify people. Host rebecca, from alabama republican line. You are next. Caller good morning. I do think our president loves america. I am a republican and i am old to. I think the republicans, when they listen to them talk, they take sometimes his words out of context. They say, he wants to transform america and that means that he does not love america. I do not see it that way. I just think he has a different vision for america. I think he would not have run for president if he did not love our country. Host does this story change your opinion of Rudy Giuliani at all . Caller i hated that he made that comment because i watched him on fox last night trying to explain himself and i understand what he feels, by do not think it is the way every american field. I think he is expressing something based on what he experienced during 9 11, and he cannot get past that. Host that is rebecca in alabama. I gay, our topic this mornings statements by former mayor Rudy Giuliani. Questioning the president of the United States about his love for the United States. We will get your opinion on that. From bronx, new york. This is mark. Caller good morning. Rudy giuliani attacks people that is what he does. He is attacked dickens when he was in office. He attacked me. I called in on his call in show to complain about problems and he attacked me. Thats what he does. He has no shades of gray. He was never in the military. He has no shades of gray. Everything to him as black and white. He did not go up the way other people grew up, i guess. I cannot answer for that. Thats what he does. I think president obama does love the United States. I do not like president obama personally. I do not know him personally. I do not like a lot of his the way he does things. Im sure he loves the United States. It is Rudy Giuliani that is the way he is. Host the previous call it has adjusted the idea that it was september 11 that affected him deeply, he could not shake that, that could be leading up to comments he is making today. What do you think about that statement . Caller no. A lot of that is behind us. He was very good during 9 11. He really rallied the city, i think you rally the nation. You called him americas man. He rally the nation and the city. He is past his prime. I think he is past his prime. I thought as america he was terrific. He brought the city back from the squeegees and the homeless and crime. He did a great job. Him and ray kelly. I think ray kelly did a great job as commissioner of the city. Host that was mark from bronx, new york. Gary lives in georgia. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I just want to comment on what Rudy Giuliani said. If, as a country as a whole at a time when we are try to defeat isis and deal with russia, they hear this stuff with the media and it weakens this country tremendously. How can we defeat those things when the republicans are still try to defeat barack obama . He is not running for office anymore. He is a lame duck. It is time now for the republicans to put down all their stuff and lets get patriotic. Can you imagine if some democrats which i cannot do it some democrats were tight but george bush after 9 11 like that, they would be called unpatriotic. Host off twitter one viewer says, Rudy Giuliani is the kind of person that people love. He made another viewer says that rudy is correct. Again, your thoughts on the former mayor Rudy Giuliani statement. You probably heard stories earlier this week about him questioning the present level of the United States. The white house responded to that. Youve heard that earlier on. If you want to make comments this morning, 202 7488001 for republicans. 202 7488000 fir democrats. 202 7458002 for independents. Jerry is up next. Caller good morning, pedro. We had Rupert Murdoch im sorry, Chris Matthews asked is Rupert Murdoch was of real american. Howard dean watley said that he questioned the patriotism of republicans. You had obama say that bush raising the National Debt it was unamerican. It seems to me that it is ok for liberals to question the patriotism of republicans, but dont you dare question obama. By the way, another question for your democratic caller is, if you love someone pedro, i dont know if youre married but if you find out the your deeply in love with your wife, why would you want to change her. Host jerry, did you agree with the former mayor . Caller i agree with him. Obama does not love the country. He will about the country once it reflects what he wants. For eight years, he has constantly talked about how america is not exceptional. Trying to excuse isis for the crusades. I just believe that one of the government agents came up there and said that the real threat to america is republican extremism. That means, if youd disagree with obama, youre the real threat, not terrorism. Host lets hear from sandra from greenville, North Carolina. Caller i just wanted to make a couple of comments about the mayor of new york. I see him as a really bitter old man. I see him as a guy that ran unsuccessfully for presidency two times. He is a better guy. He is a smart guy in that the rhetoric that he has, a key some relevant. This is just beyond me. I agree with the first caller. She talked about the president you never hear him i dont know what this guy is made of, but you never hear him coming at the folks the way they, hand. He always takes the high road. I do not agree with everything he has done, but at its core, it is rooted in the fact that you still have these Fringe Groups of republicans that cannot stomach the idea that this guy is not like them. Has beat them, and they cannot stand that. At the core, that is the reason. That is why you have these Fringe Groups, like Rudy Giuliani, they cannot accept that this guy each and every time they try and come after the president , even at the state of the union, and then he comes back with that wonderful quip, the he won twice. Host that was sandra. If youre in holds a comment please continue to hold just a little bit. We will tell you about a couple of other stories from the paper this morning. The starledger of new jersey has a story on those cite out for the affordable. A hundred thousand using health site got a faulty tax data. This is from kathleen obrien. Less than a week after the second open a roman. For obamacare had ended, federal officials disclose on friday that a hundred thousand taxpayers had received incorrect tax information. Many people will not get caught being uninsured, not realizing that information will be asked when a file taxes. Democratic line. Go ahead. Caller i am a history educator and was a disturbed at the mayors comments because i thought he used to be somewhat of a moderate. His comments reminded be, really of four different words disappointing, disgraceful, joe mccarthy, racist. I have two very quick questions. How can you alienate attire an entire race of people and call yourself a patriot . Secondly, as someone who works in teachers, i would like to know what civics and history teacher should tell their students about giulianis comments. Host what would you tell students . Caller what would i tell students . Frankly i would tell them that they were unpatriotic. You can disagree with policies, but you do not use an all minutes which basically polarizes. That is not what we need at this time in our country. This is our first black president. Im not arguing of course he should be criticized on policies if you disagree with it, but to label him as someone who does not love the country by a man who has in fact several times said that americas exceptional. In no other country could he have risen. He has said this over and over again. Yes, he criticizes the country for being imperfect, but so have a lot of president s. Go back well, we can go back beyond abraham lincoln. Whatever happened to Republican Party . Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt eisenhower. I keep looking for it. Host we will hear from a republican in pennsylvania. , go ahead. Caller eyesight i side with giuliani. This previous caller, i dont know in what planet they live in. Obama has been dominating his them enemies many times. Another thing, pedro, i wanted to say talking about racism like the previous educator calls in, they always label those who oppose obama racist. The most recent calls ive heard in my life come from blacks on cspan. They hate white people. What do you get, 90 of the black vote . If that is not racism, i dont know what is. These it cspan never calls it racism. He is the other thing, i watch you moderators on cspan. I dont knows this is a new marching orders, but every time, right out of the box, the first call you take to set the tone of the discussion topic is a democrat. Why do you do that . Greta does it, you do it, john does it. Host we do split the lines. We do start with either party. Again, we divide the lines and kind of keep them separated and revolve who is on top, so to speak. Again, back to calls laurie from North Carolina. Go ahead. Caller good morning, pedro. I wanted to talk about the topic that will be on our minds forever. We have religious extremism that were facing. Host lets start with the former mayors comments, if we can. That is what we are engaging in this morning. What do you think about what Rudy Giuliani had to say . Caller it all goes back to the point im trying to make. Of the four major religions in the United States, or across the world, there is a religious right that practices circumcision on boys which i think turns us to belligerence. Host arthur. Go ahead. Caller i think giuliani and dick cheney should be in the same boat. They criticize the president but they are the ones who started all this mess. George bush with iraq. All this stuff comes back on the United States. I think giuliani needs to put on a suit and go over there and fight. Host arthur, what do you think specifically about his questioning of president obamas love for the United States . Caller i think theres something wrong with him. He needs to check himself out. Host it was earlier on in this week that the former mayor was on the Fox News Program in which he made these comments would you have read about and probably seen. Here is a little bit of the exchange that took place. [video clip] first of all, im not questioning his pages of. Im sure he is a patriot. What im saying about his rhetoric is that i barely rarely hear things that reagan said or bill clinton would say. I do hear him cu criticize america more than other president s. It sounds like he is more of a critic then he is a supporter. You could be a patriotic american and be a critic. But, then you are not expressing that kind of love that we are used to from a president. Host those kind of comments made earlier in the week continuing on in other forms. The president and the white house responding yesterday. Our topic today about the statements that the former mayor questioning the love of president obama for the United States. 202 7488001 four republicans. 202 7488000 four democrats. 202 7458002 for independents. According to the wall street journal, Senate Negotiators are close to passing trade promotion authority. Legislation known as trade promotion authority, or faster comes as the Obama Administration is trying to close negotiations on a 12 country and trade deal. Orrin hatch and senator ron wyden and representative paul ryan has settled most disagreements over the legislation. One remaining issue is how congress could move a deal from fast track process. Complications from that could unravel any agreement. Rick. Caller hello, america. America, what you all do not understand or ce, look behind this gentleman. You see a capital that was no by slaves. A white house that was built by slaves. The president is staying in his place. It is the reality of this country. America, i love this country. Most black people 99. 99 of black people in this country love this country. By live in a state where Confederate Flag is flying. That was an antiterrorist group. You know what they used for the terrorist groups over there they use the Confederate Flag. You understand . This is ingrained in american society. The prison system. Corporate america. Host from cincinnati, ohio. Republican line. Caller speaking of the mayor, i love the man. He said exactly what a lot of people are thinking. I love what he said. I agree with them. I was just waiting for someone to come out and say it. My god he goes all over the world and puts the country down and knowing can see a . Are we all blind . I love the america, god bless america. He said exactly what i was thinking. Host so you agree with the mayor statement. You may have heard the mayor to talk about it saying he doesnt necessarily question the patriotism of the president just his love of the u. S. Caller obama question the patriotism of bush saying he ran up the debt, that is unpatriotic. Look at how much debt obama has run out. Talking about unpatriotic lets get real. Im sick of phony reporters and phony politicians. Host from washington dc. Caller i want to tell mayor giuliani that he is attacking a qualified lawyer from harvard. He himself was born in america. He could be from europe, or somewhere. Mussolini, franco, or hitler. I think he has a disrespect for our president who is in the category of john f. Kennedy Martin Luther king for bringing the country together and fighting racism, who killed bin laden. I think giuliani all americans who love america should tell giuliani to tone it down and perhaps find out what is this problem. Why is he using obama as a scapegoat .
