leader, we are going to spend an hour talking about the history of the new hampshire primary. joseph: that is all? susan: yes, that is all. before we get into history, let s talk with the current one. so michael bloomberg is not competing in iowa or new hampshire these are the early primaries, and committing lots of money later on in the process. what does that do to the relevance of your primary? joseph: there are always questions about the relevance of the new hampshire primary, dating back to its modern day beginnings. people are not going to campaign, or they are going to spend a lot of money or they are not. so the short answer is i don t know. there are 10 or 11 serious candidates for the democratic nomination, and he is blowing by the early ones and thinks he can get street cred by buying it, which i think is probably not going to work for him. he said recently that even if he does not win the nomination, he will spend money to help whoever wins the nomination get el

yesterday in the topics they cover. help me not focus on it. on the militia side there are pro-iranian militia sides. i can t say the division of iraqis and mobilization. i agree with you. definitely under the popular mobilization, some of the militia and we are talking about dismantling the criminal ones, committing crimes. they can be accepted as part of the national guard but my suggestion is on a personal level with dozens of people who belong to one of the regions to be integrated and find in army or national guard. so we can get benefit of some of the shia who were fighting definite way. this brings me back to the story. if our share of the government has not been in iraq. this is only one. we are talking about 1200 something generals in iraq. we have over 1000. that is .001 you can see the problem. yes iraq is complicated and you will see it is democratic. is it really a solution? yes, there is a solution. there is an option. but there is much work to be done. thank yo
condolences to the community for the recent loss of a great lady and great scholar, ann, and i d like to acknowledge, henry was a stall ward defender of american national sovereignty. i hope that he would have been pleased in presenting this award to me as pleased as i am in receiving it. i m going to proceed as follows. first, i ll talk about what i call philadelphia sovereignty. second, i m going to examine the ideas of the global governance project which challenges philadelphia sovereignty, and third, move from ideas to action, and talk about the activities of the globalists, and then, fourth, examine the significance of the conflict between constitutional government and global govern nans. now, sovereignty is define by most scholars and others as going back to 16 # 48, and that s true to an extent, but when i was working on the book and thinking of writing, coming up with concepts, i realized americans don t think of themselves as west americans think of sovereignty in

[laughter] , good, good, good. wanted to clear that up. yes, look. it goes back to the point i thought it made in my remarks that islamists didn t win and non-islami
