The Insiders found out that the Republican National Committee threatened to take half or all of the Texas delegates to the National Convention if the Texas GOP insisted on changing back to a modified winner-take-all primary. Click on the audio player below to hear Steve Munisteri, Chairman, Republican Party of Texas, comment on the issue. The comments were made during the KSEV afternoon show on Friday, April 6, 2012.

All three budget proposals (house, senate, and president) increase spending by over 3%. My household budget was cut by 3% on January 1 even though my employment status and income remained unchanged. This decrease was due to an increase in deductions taken from my paycheck, including healthcare premiums and payroll taxes.
We don’t have a spending problem. We have a basic competency problem among politicians and the voters who hire them.
Ben & Paul,
The other day during the debate on Immigration neither one of you would talk about birthright citizenship. You just stated that the issue was settled with the 14 Admendment.
May I suggest that you read Imprimis (Hillsdale.edu) July 2008, Vol 37, Number 7 and review the Supreme Court 1898 U.S v. Wong Kim Ark. Wong Kim was a legal resident alien.
The America Indians were not given citizenship by the 14th admendment, it was not until 1923 did Congress legislation offering them citizenship.
Not the first time I have emailed but never get a response. PLEASE offer the shows, especially Dan Patrick Show and The Insiders/3 Amigos as a podcast. I am at work when these are on and only get bits and pieces. VERY FRUSTRATING.
LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN
Dear Congressman
In order to avoid a default on the Sovereign Debt, and to take the default question out of the discussion on more debt:
By whatever means – immediately pass a bill out of the House that would allow the Treasury for the next two (four?) years to borrow additional funds to be used only to pay the interest* on the Sovereign Debt.
Any additional borrowing authority will be specific and included in a Budget Bill.
1. Realistically, the Congress must sooner or later deal with the default issue, and Obama and Democrats hold this card over your heads. This approach will take away any pressure on Congress to raise the debt limit to avoid default, or bankruptcy. Deal with it on Congress’s terms – not Obama’s.
2. Advise the President, Senate, and the NATION, that should the Senate or President not approve the above bill, then any default would rest on their heads, and additional borrowing authority would only be included in a Budget Bill. No more continuing resolutions.
3. The Congress can then demand a budget be passed, one that is reasonable and includes the reforms that are necessary to place our Nation on a solvent course toward a balanced budget.
4. Should there be a default, the blame sits squarely with the Senate and President should they did not approve the additional borrowing bill.
*approximately $250 billion per year.
The insiders are outside on this morning’s topic. They made the mistake of saying that these mad gunmen don’t go where they know there will be armed resistance. Wrong, at Columbine for example the two shooters were almost immediately engaged by a sheriff’s deputy who served as the school resource officer. In Red Lake the shooter first killed the police chief. There are more but you get the idea.
Now for the insiders not knowing that has almost no consequence. For me, as the individual who is responsible for protecting my school district’s thousands of students, making that mistake could end with 15 dead as happened at Columbine or even more, as happened at Sandy Hook. They make comments and nothing bad happens, I live with the knowledge that a mistake could result in students or staff members dying, yet the insiders have no problem questioning my competence.
One of the insiders, i think it was Ben, made a remark about the school district police officers “riding around looking for people double parked.” I think he owes the many great officers – i am not one but i work with them every day – a clear apology as does Paul for not standing up for the people who daily stand between those evil people who would harm our children and the students in the 51 school districts in the region.
With regard to the question of arming people in the school, i don’t object if there are appropriate controls. But the insiders need to understand that arming people in the school is not the most effective answer and could create even worse safety issues, if done with as little thought as the governor has put into the question.
What about posting your suggestions for the November 6th ballot in Houston, TX
T-Shirt Idea: People Died and Team Obama Lied.
Given the “Fast and Furious” fiasco and the Benghazi Tragedy it seems the Team Obama resorts to lying even when they themselves and the public know the trurth.
Consider it payback for the EVIL left’s: Bush Lied and People Died, what is good for them….

Paul, please be informed that you were wrong about Chick-Fil-A on Friday; check their FB page or Mike Huckabee’s report. Just another example of distortion and trying to ruin their reputation.
Could you post Ben Streusand’s commentary? I would love to hear it again.
