This doesn't happen.
This whole league didn't.
Part to form a Florida Republican congress and Allen west on whether he ran this going to be the GOP's bad congress what do you think.
Well how you doing the LA and now welcome -- -- back for -- anniversary here.
And I think that you have a good assessment on what could happen with a straw poll.
But one of the main reasons why that could happen is because we're -- within a week but senator Rand Paul doing that filibuster on these drone issues.
That I was a constitutionality.
Issue to talk about civil liberties and he brought together people from ACLU -- cocaine although over to the libertarian side.
And we know it's very important that you have to rally -- face which is what -- fact is.
The young people are rallying to lamb Paul -- because of of -- -- before his father Ron Paul.
So I think that is going to be no doubt she will probably clear.
Al winner of this straw polls all agree with you on your assessment but understand this is a marathon is not a sprint -- -- -- six things go a ways away.
I'm right I mean -- audited are well what does -- of course that didn't necessarily propel a presidential.
Nomination but you it gets early attention what is more striking I guess in in the son's case in this case rebels.
Is that he's doing it.
Moaning to the very.
Folks he's talking -- essentially.
You know.
Taking the -- -- -- itself for limiting it's only ten minutes is speaking time.
Taking that that the powers that be within the Republican establishment apart including you could -- John McCain.
And by extension Paul Ryan by trying to one up his deficit cutting plan.
Is that.
A dangerous strategy.
-- I don't think it's a dangerous strategy it obviously is his strategy hello.
Senator McCain -- senator Lindsey Graham.
Probably could have -- a bit better -- optics were bad for them what they did with senator -- after this filibuster speech.
Because while he was -- on the senate floor thirteen hours talking about a constitutional issue.
They were dead or at a swanky hotel with President Obama.
And that's where -- polish talking about.
And -- -- -- and we have to take our message of limited government fiscal responsibility.
Individual -- free marketplace of strong national defense to every quarter of this country.
There's going to be a -- -- and it doesn't your parents that dinner that you alluded -- was meant to sort of bridge a gap to get something moving on the budget.
Suggested to get something cobbled together so it's not as if they -- totaling -- bonds and having like lobster for the sake -- But but -- -- I think American people are stock -- talk about results.
So if you're going to have a dinner with the president people gonna expect to the next day to announce the results of that that are what are the next day about an extent.
Why not why not he's not go back to that movie Dave when.
Kevin Clive brought his CPA friend who right -- -- granted to the White House.
And overnight they found all of those different places where they could fix the budget and he announced that the next day in that cabinet meeting.
So don't tell me what can't be done and -- -- optics were bad for them.
So you know senator Paul wants to standards say you know the -- one ups -- ship.
I think if you say ten years -- try to do this of five or six years.
Now of course once you put that out there the onus is on you to coupled with a specific you can -- -- good point.
-- could see again thank you very much.
Always a pleasure thank you -- Allen west bullied and.
