We -- by the way has voted to adjourn for five weeks in the house voted against it but nothing's gonna get -- -- per month.

So frauds -- the purpose says the congress is not really in session until mid September Lou Dobbs is here.

Which gives his take yet they weren't -- for four minutes and eight seconds to -- That was in and that's about right that -- -- Renaissance.

They were being more diligent.

-- Matter of seconds.

In in the yeah in the senate.

I don't know how this is going to differ from the previous for a five week that's true.

-- and looking at you know the legislative achievements I don't see we're going to.

Have much of a difference here to discuss but.

I'd love the fact that the Democrats pulled off this stuff yesterday.

And decided to vote against recess.

So that they can make all sorts of -- rather I think.

Duplicitous remarks.

-- and explain why there nothing has been done in this and this congress the senate.

When in fact the house has sent over.

4142.

Bills to the to the sent.

31 of which remain shelves and -- and job creation.

And and they were talking with the reason they didn't want through to recess is they've now decided to work on job creation.

Much arm church of the surprise even chagrin of the president.

If this is Ludacris political theater artists.

Either best or worst depending you what.

-- by a given where we.

We are where we've come from going all the way back to last summer's -- over the debt ceiling and now this tax fight coming -- repent and have.

First street don't we can -- with a -- -- anniversary.

It was recovery.

Geithner recovery anniversary yesterday two years ago -- declared the recovery.

And that famous op Ed in the Wall Street Journal.

So -- no I'm not surprised by anything that's happening.

And I do believe that we need to turn over government for a brief period of time.

At the very amenable to some people who want.

To actually legislate in the national interest and understand what programs have to be eradicated.

-- -- Just -- as like other.

I do I know a couple they don't constitute obviously -- majority but they might have some influence.

I and I would really like to see is just to congress say you know you -- stayed in -- session whatever you want.

But just don't do anything stupid for a and if this if the president -- it down.

Stop him.

But what if a recess right allows them to go to their constituents have a face time get some new ideas -- -- back to -- may be could be productive.

How much time if you spent with your cars -- like congress is out in the suburbs and I try to spend as much time with the it's possible that as serious yeah.

It because yeah.

Are accurate that I -- after I forget -- this fiercely I don't know I have heard I don't know who might.

We're fortunate enough to listen are we having -- terrific congressman Scott Garrett and oh yeah I don't spend.

I'm with him I don't talked to him off but I'm running dramatic county -- some players rarely.

But I think it's a case for most of us you know there's not a lot of face time spent with our senators I have yet to talk.

But well.

With senator Wattenberg.

-- interest and the mental little older men in means -- little private time but and senator Menendez we have so little to talk about what's the point.

I think most folks -- -- that same situation.

And may -- -- government we cannot -- What I don't think in the scheme of things -- in all seriousness.

I don't think what we -- these folks is really the issue here it's what they do with that other money.

That one point three trillion dollars.

That they're gonna be a little short this year I don't mind right now -- I'm so worn down on this.

I don't even find.

But they almost four trillion -- out and if they were just you know if if there weren't -- that dog on deficit.

If they just spend what we've been stupid enough to give them.

That would be one thing.

The part where they need another one point three -- ads are really.

Earth that's really hurts the naive consumer here every day at this time.

Is it every -- this yeah 140 that's your right had noticed that also seven at 10 PM eastern right here on I had this.

You're going to talk with Governor Huckabee I -- -- latest jobs number wasn't that a brilliant idea that he had the -- from this this is an idea got that.

But by taking -- chick filet.

Appreciation -- all across the country in man did it worked -- Might real pleasure has been seeing a larger media and many pundits trying to save chick -- or not familiar with the restaurant that -- -- just a blooper real of -- that the trichet hello she kept alive for somebody break pronunciation from a string it together well there's one who has a checkered past on pronunciation and you -- well -- don't you -- they'll buy it.

Anyway thanks --
