Thank you very much thank you for having me of course so let's start with what first got him so angry and I gather it was Megan McCain correctly from wrong -- daughter of Senator John McCain.
Saying that his presidential Newt Gingrich's presidential race wasn't -- serious one.
It was a vanity project what'd he say when he learned that she said that about.
Well we basically said that she has no clue what she's talking about and that she's actually in this -- actually in the same position not her father was at this at this exact time.
The clip that we just played which you recorder while you're there.
A chatting with him I think sort of shows him as a libertarian tell you is -- basically saying some of the gripes of Occupy Wall Street are legitimate.
But they should be level that the -- that.
Not at the banks.
Yeah I don't always agree with Newt Gingrich but I agree with him on -- that Occupy Wall Street there all about empowering that the people the 99%.
So what they need to do is attack the federal reserved.
Who have a completely unchecked power to pay as much money as they want.
Ends there needs to be transparency they need to audit the Federal Reserve and Occupy Wall Street needs to make -- -- priority.
Talking about transparency and I know you've been out amongst the crowds of the Occupy Wall Street folks in Washington DC and probably even up here in New York.
Do they see right through president Obama's efforts to win them over.
By offering to forgive their student loans eleven -- thirteen months before -- up for reelection.
I mean how -- parent can you get.
Exactly Obama realizes that these students are disenchanted.
And they're not they're not working on his campaign so what is he doing he's going to try to bail out.
It's privileged students.
And privilege college graduates at the expense of the working class Americans of -- of construction workers in order for him to win a few votes.
All right Michelle let's say first it was Matt Damon that it was Newt Gingrich next time you land where somebody -- the tape right appear we'll talk about it again.
I think you collateral -- a -- thanks for joining us.
