Or a deadline looming and now John McCain deceiving the Arizona senator blasting hard -- house Republicans.
Who are pushing back at the latest plan from John Boehner.
Republican House failed to raise the debt ceiling -- somehow escape all the blame and the Tea Party -- could return.
To middle earth having defeated more door.
This is -- kind of crack political thinking that turned Sharon angle and Christine O'Donnell.
In two GOP senate nominees.
And that's ever double -- not a Republican Democrats and -- zero very.
Have been far more vicious towards each other.
So how do these guys -- face if they finally do cut a deal sports agent mark what seltzer says it's all about what's in that DO.
He knows of what He speaks he's represented and represents some of the biggest -- -- All of our time including Tiki Barber -- markets Taylor at on -- on.
You know mark I mean you know these -- restricted to be well versed in debt the two guys here need -- hard to be honest.
But you know something about coming out of a deal.
Looking okay with the deal for and it's fair to say neither side is gonna get everything they want in this deal when they eventually make I don't think it's going to be by the second book what do you think.
Any deal it's a -- but don't break mentality I think if you look at the NFL labor agreement.
That's just was completed this week and when ratified by the players association and and and you look at what's going on in Washington.
They're all big money these issues and and and on the debt deal.
The politicians a lot of what goes on is posturing for the next election in and if you're you're -- clients.
Hassles on both sides.
I don't know they have to look like they got a good deal and Reynolds about I'm learning all this money vote about correct but then the -- can't look like they broke the bank so.
Do you advise closet on don't -- don't boasts what He said He radio say the other locker room talks in the NFL and sports -- -- clients -- any.
Aspect of what I do for them.
Keep your business confidential but it football is no.
Arbitrator there's not a Major League Baseball has so arbitration so maybe this these -- and -- is an arbitrary -- -- -- -- that's -- helped get the NFL -- -- at the end of the labor agreement -- I think media interview volunteering your services and you know they think you have if you don't get attacked I feel like card.
Ultimately has to be done scored deal.
Because I really do believe you know the Republicans as you know don't want to budge on taxes right you Democrats really don't want to budge on on a bigger spending cuts and -- on.
So how do you get each sids is side.
They have their respective pound of flesh.
By again I'll go back to what we've just completed in the NFL -- -- -- -- you know that -- went on for 132 donors one that.
The owners.
I think the more -- that that a fantastic job based on tough circumstances for the players.
And about it and billionaires millionaires right in Arizona is one that's generally gonna be -- case guys that the people who Bosnia come out on top and certainly.
The percentage points that the players associate players association had to give up will over ten years amount to about a billion dollars.
And what -- get obstinate what if the president doesn't budge and there's been Boehner doesn't budge on this right and then we risk.
Nancy second football we put it had just know multiples -- who would have been blamed it -- the players the owners.
I think ultimately owners -- was a -- -- -- was an all right so switched to a budget I don't.
Who'll be blind due to threats of I would think so he's -- -- area.
So the guy that heavier hand general I got you and he's got the bully pulpit but so what would you tell us.
Again I think a third party.
Trying to does -- their -- it's not gonna happen that being said.
Bend don't break you find your find your middle ground find the areas where you feel you can give a little bit to get.
And that's He says he's done all that as much even if he's done it there could be a stalemate -- this this could be a bit of a mess but does certainly Boehner.
Is it going to look the budget is again it's below about posturing in Washington and and and disseminating their their levels of -- each side story.
They're not going to deal -- out of it doesn't selling.
These easier to get the support of them that that's all right Margaret good stuff falling volunteer services to all parties I am available they could do -- --
