I am broken now help out but I gonna do first the big story that just broke the perjury -- trial of Roger Clemens is over.
And the jury found him not guilty on all counts.
Just think and it.
It was so weak -- -- headed backed out.
He's trainer Brian McNamee and -- not sure rose just -- lame attempts to get this guy did on TV.
In the court of public opinion that I think he still loses he'll never be in -- hall of fame now because of this a number I think was a waste of taxpayer money I think congress is guilty grandstand no stop that they do that -- Good look at what they wanted.
But was a parade of baseball's -- holding up -- -- -- us what -- all the -- etc.

-- united teachers of Los Angeles has proven.
Approved a one year labor contract.
It would cut their salary and shorten the school year by a week.
In order to save over 4000 jobs of the teachers take Bob got parents of Los Angeles get stuck with the bill but actually -- child -- and lunches.
It is suspect it's like when this cuts the week out -- I mean it's good to you got to figure out.

You know what this.
Municipality can't get it together we don't have the money so.
Forget competing with the world let's cut back because we don't have -- -- -- so -- -- -- -- so focused on my -- problem -- -- I hadn't thought about the real issue what do you think.
I think it's good that the teachers union has made a small concession -- I think it's bad that -- taken out on the kids and the standard of their education.
What's really being protected here I think is the pensions always to retire -- teachers union members.
That's what's being protected that getting paid off in full.
At the expense of children and their education he -- California.
There -- 35.
Thousand more than 3000 retired teachers.
Each of whom takes home more than 100000.
Dollars in real intention that does not include health care costs -- that paying them off.
I'm counting the kids' school -- in retirement that's not a good deal Banesha favor of vouchers and school choice and charter schools doesn't I'd like to see the -- that public education system.
How are right.
Up next.
You've heard about the -- is how about I -- the story the food secret agents Dunkin' Donuts and other fast food restaurants.
Our hiring undercover agents to go into their stores and make sure that franchise owners are selling the genuine product.
And not cheaper alternatives.
Never -- that counterfeit Mexicans were such a problem but apparently they are.
Which you know if you were getting.
I think -- him or if -- -- don't would you know I mean would you take abided get up is a fraud I won't see the expression Tracy's face pequots.
It's not that I'm sure what what -- So I.
-- ED New York to do is an -- ailments can make my -- in -- -- but here's what I think I think if you have a proprietary recipe you deserve to keep it.
And somebody seeking out of -- -- you get out there -- know so whether it's found a bit.
Money or -- -- you have a right to get out.
And protect your -- -- like there's a market in this I think you imagine that you could margin is enough that if you sold like a real Montana on the munchkin black market.
And then you've got some other daughter brought in -- -- it's Robert.
-- babies the ingredients as opposed to the whole munchkin he directed if you're selling fake ingredients okay.
You've just introduced legal liability to the franchise and that they -- -- -- the Dunkin' Donuts franchise group because if something goes wrong you get sued so they're gonna police the ingredients welcomed the land of trial lawyers and -- Think about joining me his three kids to start saying you know wanted to -- these mines -- taste I'm not gonna done and done and swarmed by the box of Duncan nets that sentiments instead I I see in color specialist short undercover inducted don't -- in getting to the bottom of the hole much -- debacle accurate way to -- last story.
I think this frontal surprising picture that are dating a study from the educational group the -- -- foundation says that congress is actually getting dumber.
By analyzing speech patterns in public statements they found that members of congress are speaking on average.
At this -- level as a high schools more that is down from 2005 in the same study found that are average represented -- we're at a high school junior level.
-- use pass us by here having been planning to give them the benefit of the act.
I think that the issues these days are so much more complicated than any of them ever anticipated none of them are qualified.
Did okay -- on the hot dogs.
They know anything about the financial markets and they just don't wanna be politicians so we're at -- well it is our own fault we're putting.
-- -- Well in charge of our country now it's welcomed the land of the gulf job political act.
One congressman says one would out of place and back congressman is subject for a -- go -- in the next election.
So you've got to keep it very general you gotta keep it very very -- you -- keep you really simple that's how you win in politics you.
Them the benefit of the -- you're actually saying that they aren't that Smart but they're just not using Smart language because they don't -- I don't know I watched.
And nightly question being asked about Smart to me inside a couple lawyers have beaten up on the teachers' union are -- -- be -- support and a much can help the most -- I can't wait for -- under 'cause I'm all about the Lindsey hi it's did -- to find out what the real -- can agree on what we're doing -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- of -- -- -- -- oh my gosh what is much can they keep -- actually -- -- -- a day you a giant -- much -- tomorrow it's on the great god.
