By the gloves are -- in Florida yeah.
Gingrich -- South Carolina stutter Mitt Romney has been busy attacking the former speaker but will it be enough to slow down Newt's moment.
-- -- here to weigh in on the -- Massachusetts Republican senator Scott brown and of course he endorsed Mitt Romney long and -- I just asking you when you did that along it.
First ones is one of the nicest.
Honest hardworking men -- government when it comes to the economic issues I feel is nobody that can compete and get us back from stepping back from -- financial precipice we're approaching.
So let's talk a little bit about your own race thing because you're going up against Elizabeth war at -- who.
Recently took credit for starting the -- Occupy Wall Street story movement so I think you coming at -- provision totally different planes have definitely ranks you you've gotten her.
To sign -- -- a pledge are about to sign sensor and a pledge with regard to negative advertising what is.
While the super cracks on the third party groups are coming in just hammer away easy as Afghanistan's South Carolina.
You put forth they have played and have the document legal combining asking that all these negative stay out of Massachusetts the people of Massachusetts.
Can decide to make their own determination.
-- it twice afforded -- -- -- made some recent weeks and you know I accept and it's a good way to keep these -- up by having 50% of that negative -- positive -- -- go to the charity of the other person's choice.
It's an incentive to keep those groups out.
And then this just came out he -- recruit telling you about this in the Green room they just came through.
And essentially she says all right Amman we're gonna be the first mistake to do it -- the country this first in the country to do it to Israel tends to why I don't think it's so important to get rid of the negative -- Listen this false and misleading.
People know better they're smarter they wanna learn about the candidates -- weren't weren't a financial emergency people hurting they wanna understand how that particular candidates are going to.
Draw distinctions and in and get their vote earn their vote they don't need these it's -- -- trying to buy elections and and and do things inappropriately we -- Elizabeth Warren on and she has she declined to come on so just see you know.
We're gonna move -- over the recess appointment something you agree with President Obama on you -- Richard -- -- appointed.
Is as a recess -- with congress supposedly at a session.
That's okay with you why is it okay but bottom line is is dysfunction down in Washington and they they're just holding things up just to hold them up there and not to solve problems where we're in trouble right now if we don't start working together.
Because there's no Democrat bill that's gonna pass and -- Republican bill is gonna past we need to work in a bipartisan bicameral bill because we're Americans first.
And to -- these agencies that are rudderless right now it was a mistake not only as we compete in a global -- bad basis economically but to see if some of these agencies are actually.
Going to work we're gonna fix some are not we need to work together and then listen I would rather have had -- gone the other way full support of going to -- advise and consent process.
But we have to do something we can't keep going to the path Iran.
So some people say that you supported the recess appointment because it went all the way back to Dodd-Frank that you had supported that piece of the history there -- supported -- -- -- supported the the department actually holly Petraeus is running the veterans portion of that -- consumer protection protect our our heroes coming back from war so yes wanna say there's gonna work and it doesn't and we'll go on and fix it but to do nothing I'm not gonna do that.
Senator I got to bring it to.
The first question topic because even people like governor -- -- big supports Mitt Romney very impressed the skill set.
Say -- get to fire back you gotta be expressing itself you gotta understand you wealth and how to how to communicate that.
Do you have any advice to him because of it even your biggest critic would say well sitter Brad can connect with people there.
Well listen bottom line is as I said governor Romney uses is the guy from me he's one of the nicest Sonos has shown up -- Yeah I think he has an -- in -- didn't give dealing not only -- strong candidates on the on the other side running against him but you have -- she would actually have all this negativity.
And you know you have to really cut through kind all the BS and really just go forward and see what the candidates are offering.
And more importantly who's going to be able to take on the president and when it comes to the economic issues especially it's critically important he's -- he's got a he's gonna do well in Florida is going to be a battle and it's not going to be over -- you know they're gonna continue to go on remembered for.
President Obama and Hillary went for what -- -- June.
You don't and that was very January I don't.
-- shows to do nothing you'll get -- and you watch.
Yes they do it might not this is probably not much to euros or it's a triathlon ones and.
Let me ask you this about the strategy of President Obama since you are a member of congress he's and it he's gonna -- you out to be the -- -- other maybe not you singularly because you voted for his recent appointment.
But you think that that strategy will work.
Listen the president has some very real issues and and we as went down eleven point 95 trillion dollar national debt when I got there over fifteen plus and rising.
No effort to address the economic issues that we're trying to wrestle with.
I know leadership when it comes to you getting our debt and deficit under control so he wants to go on blame congress because a we have a low approval rating -- bottom line is there are people of good will in congress who are trying very very hard to work but when the majority leader.
Move moves ability most of cloture which means shuts up debate does allow any amendments and tries did you score political points for November no wonder.
For not getting anything down when he allows us to move forward.
The higher here are veterans -- 3% and holding which are my bills that passed a hundred to nothing and we can do that every day if they wanted to.
If you played in do you get a chance to play you wanna when investors and he won't claiming him he will not -- there a reason for that block.
And -- Excited say.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- kind of.
