The General Services Administration GSA -- scandal right now.

Did shook hardy lot and they get to the tune of 800000.

Dollars tax Payer money taxpayer.

Right -- -- say this and again on there residents walked I think you know the whole thing led the GSA phenomenon.

Hardest things can be angry finds out about it I'll I guess that's just -- by the way this whole sex scandal was about money to nonpayment -- Here's the thing that the GSA when I got to be honest and gonna go on -- -- I think this is much ado about almost nothing and here's why you have 800000 dollars to pay back.

I would have it every day we weren't in Iraq for the Iraq War.

-- -- -- -- The Iraq War has cost about a million times as much as that Vegas conference that was 833000.

Dollars.

And you know look they get stuff they should have -- there's no two ways about it.

But I think it also offered America we lose a sense of perspective.

And we missed the far larger problems the far larger waist of money and -- of -- so you know did they do something wrong heck yeah totally.

But do I think it's been overblown yeah.

Big time.

Did you see rap videos.

And rap video yeah -- of the fact that it's so easy to spin our money and have they're not be any accountability.

Funny -- I mean.

Taylor coding everyone was it just lets you -- can get away with when I'm not fortune tellers and -- a clown will -- scary very scary -- -- little hazy.

And you didn't and yeah -- I think it's ironic because a few years ago we were talking about the fact that the president's -- your money in Vegas.

I'm getting well I didn't the Democrat I love -- problem Nevada.

You've got you know.

Fast here is nobody goes down and GSA outlook what's going -- -- -- Secret Service he's just gonna be angry and you know these folks who did something wrong in the felony I was very politically and -- the president windy you stand opens and happy you're.

Samuel L.

Jackson drove home now I don't think you don't -- I think I did we.

Getting used to president to actually thinks there -- stuff as opposed to just shoots from the hip without any information that the former president social Nolan -- -- at play at 1030 this thing.

-- -- -- -- Had a good -- you I don't blame you yeah right.

Whatever shots you want to take -- former President Bush but I don't think that Democrats or Republicans ever doubted.

What made him angry and Wear his heart what's true and and that was never the sense of well depending on what this.

Particular president's very professorial.

He likes to get you if you more than Bennett and seasoned journalists he doesn't just three -- story.

I think the cigarettes are the -- in his house to tell them exactly what I -- but if we.

So the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq it would have been good have a few more resources to verify that I don't think.

That.

And final away we'll talk Afghanistan and -- second this president may be wearing that like the albatross around is that it's true it's an interesting thing because there.

Well it's just very irresponsible right now anything is a big deal but really the Secret Service -- resources -- to protect.

The president unite states our commander in cheek that's a big deal they should be doing what they were doing what we're hookers are right I mean it's dangerous it's a security -- -- when it has.

And then the GSA with all the waste -- that was slender I mean that the big government waste is that is a terrible trial is administration.

Whether GSA though I mean the GSA from everything I have and the big question the GSA is is this systemic -- this indicative of larger problem.

My understanding from people who -- the GSA is that it's not.

Now.

You -- -- clowns and fortune tellers is not a problem to have them running around the opposite you know that it didn't work I mean what you know one clown when I'm -- million dollars of putting -- it was just a big way out but others 300 employees going it's a big conference and if you look at the the reality is we have -- -- -- get together at a conference that it.

Traders that 850000.

Dollars us for shower and they are one night.

But.

You know I I think.

I still wish that we would just focus on the larger -- something like Iraq and just -- -- is that.

Welcome heavyweight fast I want -- just step back to the government waste issue.

Because nothing has been proven here but I do you think it's just maybe even if you're -- way they don't care if I'm -- at all.

But these secret agents -- spending any money.

-- really talked about the money that was going on there their guardians by the way compromise plan.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- This president could have a perception problem in terms of being angry on the right issues like just put it out on the live chat is isn't government waste the right -- But -- let's remember that -- Republican senator and in the senate right now who was spending on brokers directly so.

You know -- he -- -- is that many many many many steps yeah.

-- -- Elaine at every white Andre and you know I -- it's like well he did this but it's okay to kiss the Republican did that this doesn't he didn't.

Everything is -- -- it's not only President Obama was in the -- and kind of you know handed over to.

Charging -- innocent -- yes OK okay so are.
