unrest in that country, and there s a lot more to be said about, you know, human rights issues, the gay rights issues in russia. a lot of things that bob costas could have brought up here and did not. richard, let me start with you. usually i do like bob costas, but this time i absolutely, completely disagree with him. i think vladimir putin has been everything but a peacemaker. he s stood in the way of progress, and beyond that fact it s not only what putin does, it s what he justifies. the atrocities to lgbtq folks in the nation of russia are absurd, and we should all speak out against this. it s similar to what s happening in uganda, and i think because of that there s no peacemaker in vladimir putin in the same sentence at all. martha: yeah. david, what do you think about what costas had to say? it was clearly, basically, nbc who s going to broadcast 1500 hours or so, they re playing to the problems in russia. let s not put aside what putin
but get ready for some more from costas. we re going to explain hour two for thursday live from new york, right now. here ye, hear ye, this is the town cryer! you are watching fox & friends what s the hiccup for? what are they insinuating? i don t know. i don t think they re insinuating the town cryer who came on our program a couple months ago had had a couple. he was really good. somewhere he s in costume. he was great, brian styles. welcome aboard. we got lots to talk about today. we do. really. it can t get much worse. new independent analysis came out, american enterprise institute saying that the obamacare, it s warning obamacare is really a ticking time bomb. that 50 million to 100 million insurance policies could be canceled by next fall. so obviously the question there is, is this an implosion, is this why democrats are calling
about whether they should let their son play football? i would tell them no. i would tell them no. now that s i know that goes viral tomorrow. but let me put it this way, if it were my son, all right, and he was 13 years old, and had reasonable athletic ability, i would encourage him to play baseball or to play basketball or to play soccer, or something other than football. costas is not the only one wondering if football is worth it anymore because of things such as the dangers of repeated concussionings. some former and current nfl stars and even president obama have also echoed that statement. now for the pop culture lead, he wasn t born in a maker, baby he was born to run. springsteen fans make the pilgrimage and now rutgers has plans to offer a theology class focused on the bob s song writing. the freshman seminar will examine 40 years of his lyrics.
people like bob costas and others who say it s a demeaning name. how can you, lanny davis, hired by the washington redskins convince them that they are misguided? what are you going to point to? well, i don t they re misguided? what do you point to? i don t need to convince someone with personal emotion, mr. costas is entitled, but he has to apply the same standard. he used the terminate i have american throughout his he essa. he used it over and over again because native americans say they re not indians, he was mistaken when he called them indians, so we use the terminate i have americans. yet he focused his ire on an 80-year-old redskins name, and he excused the name cleveland indians when fans of cleveland indians love the cleveland indians for many years just as we do, but using a double
