Governor Romney I'd like to apologize to you I did you wrong.

In a recent TV show I included a section -- political gaffes and as one example we played this clip.

I like being able to fire people provide services -- I like being able to fire people.

The political class criticized you for saying that you like to fire people they called it -- -- but it wasn't again I think it was a good point.

You were saying it's good if you.

The government where your employer had the power to pick your health insurance company then you could fire an insurance company that doesn't serve you well.

Or any other company.

This is a good -- important thing the right to fire businesses you don't look like makes the free market work makes providers improve.

You fire people all the time.

We hear about heartless companies -- how heartless you war.

If you get shoddy merchandise even wants you take your business elsewhere.

To get a bad burger you don't hesitate to switch to another restaurant.

That freedom makes both McDonald's and Burger King -- Whether free markets better than government it's government rarely gives you -- choice.

If your kid isn't a bad public school he can't fire the -- choose another.

Government controls your choices.

The same is true for the motor vehicle -- park.

Under obamacare he may not be able to fire your doctor.

Romney made an important point when he said it's good to be able to fire people who provide services to the but trying to explain that to some people it's like talking to -- All you guys want I'm.

You wanna hand out I don't have -- minute now you get manhandled getting he's not he's no live in the United States or France they live in the United States of America they're gonna -- with -- -- ever heard of the constitution.

It's a great document they keep thinking and Obama's gonna take care no bombs and freedom Obama and build their -- see those big ears.

-- can't hear -- Unbelievable.

And Matt.

Political spin was made by a Texas congressional candidate and he's favored to win.

I prefer -- takes some might presidents who -- this propaganda says one thing and does another.

-- We are gonna -- all earmarks.

He said that but the first spending bill he signed had more than 9000 earmarks.

Candidate Obama criticized Hillary Clinton for wanting to force people to get health insurance.

She believes that we have two.

Force people who don't have health insurance to buy -- she believes -- force a mandate imagine that and yet once elected he endorsed that.

I just wish they'd be honest.

Heck I might even vote for Barack Obama if he just say something like -- When I was elected.

I promise that I would get a handle on the national debt.

When I did it.

I said -- cut wasteful programs but I did not.

Then -- brought together a bipartisan group of really Smart people.

To recommend how to put us on a sustainable course.

But then I did not even try to do what they set.

Now I realize.

That we are on the role to bankruptcy.

And I will undo my mistakes I will cut regulation and shrink government spending.

So Bill Clinton novels.

2.4 trillions in spending.

Is more than enough.

Can dream can't -- 2.4.

Trillion spending.

That would be this huge improvement.

But I'm not likely to see that that's our show thanks for watching good.
