But we didn't love.

You will on this day cause he knows.

There's plenty -- Montevideo are eight hub or are all our Social Security applications.

Then wow those are fighting words from a freshman congressmen in the war that is going on over America's debt America's future.

Congressman Joseph Walsh Republican from Illinois is a man -- governments is -- isn't he is a member of the Tea Party caucus welcome congressman lost the -- here today.

Great to be with you Martha.

You know we -- -- video this morning hey you know eight -- -- asking is it appropriate to to accuse the president of the united states of lying in do you have any.

Jimmy is still went with doing -- Now not at all I mean it is a homemade video it's not the most polished thing in the world.

But that's what we do every week when we talk to our constituents.

Look -- I don't believe this president is serious.

And when he tells the American people.

That he may have to pull their Social Security checks after August 2 he's not being truthful.

He knows that's not the case he knows we have the funds and mark that he knows that it's up to him.

To make those -- look everything he's doing in this debate is political.

He's all nervous and antsy because he's created this problem it's his problem and now -- looking for a lifeline.

So you know I know that one of the things the -- about cut cap and balance IA is -- is a lot of the congressmen and women who work.

Elected on Tea Party platform is really want to see this put her out.

How are you gonna make this happen if he can make it happen next week with a balanced budget amendment.

A lot of us freshman came here mark that it fundamentally change the way this town does business.

We know most people don't trust politicians.

And they shouldn't unless we force them.

To balance their books every year.

They want and the only way to do that is to amend the constitution.

This notion of cut -- and balance the notion of a balanced budget amendment.

-- is gaining a lot of momentum in this town our leadership is embracing that now the Republican rank and file embraces it.

And you know 80% of the American people support a balanced budget amendment they know what that means because they have to live.

That way he you know senator McConnell spoke out just a little while ago -- -- has some very strong statements about all of this now there there have been.

Folks have been very critical of him.

Very critical of it's McConnell and saying that he -- Sarah Palin play a quote from her a little while ago say that he wave the white flag in this debate highest seeding.

The president.

The ability to raise -- debt ceiling.

But you know what has it going with Mitch McConnell and you know the congressman -- -- -- in the house and how that relationship right now.

-- here's what's happening -- I think that Mitch McConnell and certainly our leadership in the house is incredibly frustrated.

Because we are dealing with the president.

That really come my way of thinking is in over his head and he doesn't understand how serious this problem is that's real hard to negotiate went.

I understand that but look.

We came here to lead this president's not gonna -- he's created this problem we will help him solve this problem.

But the only way we're gonna do that -- is -- again if we change the way this town does.

And supported belts I got my that I and it question for you elaborate on the other side of the SoundBite there that has to do the tax reform and loopholes and corporate loopholes and whether or not -- would be willing to negotiate that.

If you industry in the let this is the sound I mentioned -- -- from Mitch McConnell let's let everybody at home here this.

Time to change this debate altogether.

It's time to make it clear the American people where the two party stand in this debate.

If you what the president and his vision of a government that continues to live beyond its means.

Or you with those of us who believe Washington -- some strong medicine.

If you want to simply borrow and spend our nation into oblivion are you wanna get our fiscal house in order.

City of confidence in mr.

McConnell and -- John Boehner that they can they can do something that year.

A group of Tea Party has supported to candidates are arrogant -- congressman will be okay let.

Look I agree with that sound bite mark I agree with what Mitch McConnell said.

That's what this debate is all about and I wish that might leadership and Mitch McConnell would say to the president.

This is your problem you created this mess here's what we have to have to raise the debt ceiling.

Balance the budget.

Pass a balanced budget amendment right and then -- leadership -- that needs to walk away.

Walk away from this president -- there's a lot of walking away on I Alice Stewart does -- it -- I still -- represented thanks for being here today he hit it thank you.
