Back to you.

For more on the nomination of Jack -- and other developments down in DC we welcome radio talk show host Michael Graham and joins us from Newton Massachusetts this morning.

Good to see Michael.

Do you could you just listen to Jeff Sessions is talk and talk it didn't.

Doesn't that give back home that dummies out Johnny Tennessee just you're just such as -- as much as one and a -- facility bring -- a big -- -- IST that's I was late for I have parents for that so now I don't know wasn't just that.

That is our guys come on parents thought about in -- down I want -- -- And my stated -- -- Michael Jack Lew got yeah.

If you want to spend the next four years fixing the fundamental economic a structural problems we have liked to messed up tax code -- -- a new study out this week about six.

Actually added that the massive costs.

You complied with tax law if you wanna big stuff like Medicare gonna fix Social Security which is in the red for the third Euro.

The person you don't pick.

It Jacqueline it -- -- spend the next two years.

Beating the snot -- -- house Republicans and trying to set up political battles we can win narrow advantage and maybe pick up a few more house seats maybe.

Keep the -- -- in the control of Democrats and you pick trench fighter.

Build a bare knuckle bloody knuckle Jack Lou this is really bad news for those those who.

We -- look at the election is over we got pres Obama for years could we get something done -- -- is absolutely not a get something done guy.

The first sentence of the Wall Street Journal's coverage of the nomination yesterday.

Includes.

-- the following line it elicited little opposition from Republicans Thursday.

Why it why is that why was that the case.

I don't I -- Jack -- isn't Chuck Hagel Chuck -- of the secretary defense nomination -- he has his truck load of baggage he's got to carry with them.

He's gonna get and probably zero Republican senate votes he's got in real but -- jetBlue isn't.

Like you know it's it's like pick and meet you know is totally utterly unqualified and no one wants him.

He just a disappointment he's yet another disappointment from President Obama this is that the elections are done.

President Obama's forty years which he can craft in America that works in -- -- again and again and again he says I wanna fight I wanna pick up -- A jetBlue is the kind of guy you pick he's at Chicago's -- -- not an actual Chicago he's a Chicago style trench warfare -- -- from queens just.

Just to let you know which I you know what I would rather fight from -- from Chicago and somebody from playing with a.

I'm scared to fight for a parking space and Astoria I don't wanna fight -- regular fist fight -- and you think about federal America is right now.

We've had crappy -- it's really since the year 2000 we've got these other little structural problems.

-- -- other -- that the market lives off of political decisions not economic decisions political decisions -- negative print.

I get a key billion -- -- -- the the the printing presses.

And we have a chance to work on.

All of these things for example the president simply said among all other problems -- -- gonna get serious about medical cost about the cost of healthcare.

The tremendous impact every business would go sure there's a sector of my life but I know price is gonna go down instead we're committed to obamacare which everybody agrees is gonna drive.

Cost up there so we have.

No long term good news at any of these -- from this suppose that once hope and change president real quick.

First -- I don't think you should be drive and through queens to -- FY I don't know how about look at our parking space Astoria.

And -- register their wayward thoughts on vice president Joseph Biden his meeting yesterday he's meeting with video game.

Makers today and his -- potential proposals.

On -- on I guess firearms in this country.

Well you have the tragedy of and the new talent -- in horror -- you -- -- emotionally devastating war.

And then you have the black comedy and what's happening -- as a result of Washington DC.

Joseph Biden and I look at -- the list of proposals.

Not a single item on that list would have done anything.

Anything to prevent the Newtown massacre tracking guns in the past from a grandfather I have my dad has his -- shotgun.

One day I'll give it to my side tracking that might be a good or bad idea but it has nothing good happened it happened in -- down.

And V got the capacity issue I had think it's totally reasonable to limit the size of magazines wanna do that.

But once again that would have had no impact on -- saying -- have tougher.

Punishments for taking guns to school I don't think a guy who's committed to committing suicide and religious school is that a worry BC's -- warning that.

Bring a gun over here and it's a 500 dollar fine none of this solves any problems which is as bagpipers point.

About four years we're looking for leadership what we giving.

Politics politics politics.

Kind well that's new and everything to talk about it we -- -- politics politics -- and I'm not happy go yeah exactly thank you Michael and get to -- good morning Michael.
