Yeah I've gotten more emails from French people backed up well you don't want these days you know.

America is rescued us in 1940 corporate and not think I hope the French people you can rescue us.

Due -- prosperity now.

They sure don't like the criticism though I gotta tell you.

Aren't new although I don't -- it -- let me let me ask you this you warned that France is losing its industrial base and another five years they -- -- -- be able to make tires there.

Do you think this country.

The US today is headed down the same road.

So you just look at the automotive.

You had -- UAW.

GM.

In Chrysler went bankrupt.

-- because about a lot of money.

Not that happened with the UAW.

They have a monopoly.

They use one against the other so what's gonna happen what the administration should have done this says still workers.

You got GM.

Chrysler.

Here let the Teamsters.

And UAW is they would -- or bricks of around.

But now they have a monopoly that's why the educational system sucks OK that you know I don't look at that's where went.

So you think its unions to better at the end of the day -- causing all these problems.

Well what happens this management.

-- most of them.

If you look at Chrysler guys that were drinking.

That guys that were small we saw that video.

So they go to arbitration Chrysler fired up an arbitrator which is the same arbitrator comes back his livelihood is deal again.

So I'll give them another chance that like here in New York it's like teachers you know I'll give them another chance.

Well and that's.

I'm sorry you know I I I've got to ask you this guy unions do provide some services for their members.

They do bargain for better pay and and better.

We wouldn't but what happens.

Is if you look that's fine.

But when you look and I had a ballot that would took it was on bill caused an accident.

But it goes to arbitration.

-- got to give them another chance.

You know you you can't handle that if you really want to have a safe environment.

And that's what's wrong but the union is first city unions an -- -- Teamsters.

The fairness to what they don't have a choice because as -- law -- lost says they have to well there should be some laws changed.

Just like -- Do it if public workers most of -- should ever be attempt but let the members vote on the members don't have a chance to vote under do.

They're represented us at by -- so important you know bother you represented -- give me a break.
