Develop in our editorial meeting that we held hold every morning 6:50 AM eastern time.
Our production team said the GOP is acting like a petulant child.
They say the house should just vote and approve the Senate's two month extension the payroll tax holiday I say be precise -- it.
The house should demand.
That the senate -- -- and -- hammer out a deal do the job police don't just skipped town and go on a vacation.
What does -- and terrorists that she is a panelist of -- show of the five and -- -- it you I know you agree with me.
I do -- thank you video lousy policy it's lousy policy but even extending The -- tax cut a year is lousy policy because.
The biggest cloud hanging over businesses is uncertainty.
So how can you Obama administration credibly and Democrats credibly argue that not just the payroll cut extensions gonna fix the economy but he -- month.
Payroll tax cut extension is gonna fix the economy it's totally disingenuous and it's raw politics it's roll out its -- That's precisely right because the administration is saying.
Those wicked Republicans that the ones that being petulant at the last minute that's stopping the middle class continued to get its tax break that's -- and I think.
The most shocking comment to come out of Obama's administration is from David Axelrod.
And -- Rocky -- said that the GOP is purposefully to stories on foxnews.com.
Purposefully.
Trying to sabotage the United States economy governance I I just honestly an -- years of politics.
I have never heard something so flat out.
False and so flat out dirty and particularly so early in the campaign -- to stayed at the GOP is deliberately destroying the economy is a pretty.
Pretty -- statement.
Did you thing is that it's it's this sticking and houses into radio and away and hurt someone it's it's on come on to say some really to really ask and I just to -- -- -- There's a thing if you think the payroll tax cut is the greatest thing right now helping the American economy you have two options you can pastor for -- Months or one -- there you know by the way -- people who want to look bad the -- two months old.
-- got a bigger one out about the outlook lives yeah I would argue.
You you know to the president and his advisors who keep saying that the GOP refuses to compromise they think it's a dirty word Obama's been on the circuit saying that.
The GOP is already compromising by going along with any type of payroll tax -- I gotta ask what about the pipeline.
Now the pipeline was.
The deal a decision on the -- fund that was in the senate devotion in my eyes -- I don't know where is it now.
What I won't -- pipeline and I know the big issue.
Was the pipeline last week and Stuart I went on my show the five would like my colleague they heard these today we're gonna get the pipeline -- I believe that because the house passed it.
And I've been talking to my contacts in the senate -- -- there were support there.
And that the White House was gonna compromise on that and then take ownership of it but this payroll tax issue has become the bigger issue.
For now we still might get the pipeline but the payroll tax issue has been asleep -- -- have you got twenty seconds just listen to this recite yes this is what to vice president Joseph Biden said about the Taliban.
-- about unquote look.
The Taliban poets say is not our enemy.
That's critical.
There is not a single statement that the president has ever made it any about policy -- that a Taliban.
Is our enemy because it threatens US interests okay you got ten seconds come down -- -- This isn't his dumbest comment of the year that was if you don't pass the jobs bill more men will rate their wives.
-- that this is up this is right up there the Taliban harbored al-Qaeda when they were planning the attacks on 9/11 they don't let women vote.
They a completely views there women they are an enemy.
They are the antithesis to what everything America thanks for without a doubt and for him to say this -- sounds like Van Jones is now run -- foreign policy was.
Front senator administration that's ridiculous if -- think that it's beyond its people who appeasement that Maceda that's given -- why -- -- the Taliban.
You know won't this administration's you and -- -- smooth and easy.
Of appeasing Muslims if you're nice to them radical islamists I should say.
Most Muslims are peaceful but in past they had these history of not actually coming out.
And identifying who our enemies are and the Taliban.
Is the US -- they're certainly not our -- alright Andrew attempt -- you know have to prep for the 5 X 5 PM eastern today so will.
Thanks so much for joining us for America -- married.
