Horrible get graduation caps flying -- -- job market slumping congress still blaming.

Thirty bills -- in the United States senate.

My and they pick up the bills and pass them and help the American people's got to -- politics over there.

The Republicans -- say they sent thirty bills over to the senate.

They sent thirty pieces -- the message over to this and it we don't need thirty message bills we need one good bill.

News today is three and a half years later.

The president's policies are still failing the gridlock and lack of substantive agenda that is being pursued by our Republican colleagues.

Or care what side you're on so -- it gets sort of solid this mess we're in a mess and Mike Huckabee gears of the bigger -- because there and getting better got.

It's not getting better and congress is in helping it.

Nancy Pelosi made a ridiculous statement today when she said that we need.

A bill a bipartisan bill not thirty messages in which he said the word bipartisan I thought that would be -- real switch Nancy Pelosi hasn't done anything bipartisan.

-- to be fair -- Republicans aren't exactly -- reaching out trying to figure out a way to come to terms with the Democrats this is an incredibly polarized congress.

And I don't know that they really want to achieve any thing until after the election.

And then they're hoping their side winds -- -- -- they can achieve everything they want and give the other side nothing they want.

Some of the Republicans have put in a comfortable position doing this but -- -- the first time I think.

This risk governor that Republicans look like they're running out the clock and and that -- that amends going to win another bad report the economy's going to.

Stumble and -- keep stumbling and let this guy -- -- There's a risk but it's balanced but the fact that the senate controlled the Democrats.

Hasn't even put a budget on the senate floor since April -- -- -- third 2009.

We're three years and counting.

So it gives did the Republicans in the house a little bit a cover.

To say look.

We've sent bills out of here but we can't force the senate to pass -- a lot of Americans know the whole process or they don't but but the point you know they just see Republicans.

Attacking us and again that might be a very Smart strategy and -- right there is this process with a house will will will offer bills in the senate will reject big amount of but but do you think given congress' approval ratings it's made Clinton's look like Abraham Lincoln's that -- that that's a risky strategy.

Is that there's always the risk at what they have to do is to be careful to distinguish the difference between the generic congress and the Republican congress.

And the Republicans have got to remind people that they only have half of congress they don't have the senate.

The Democrats did they have to say if we have the senate you wouldn't have Obama care you would have a budget we would start curtailing spending.

That's where they have to go to make this work.

What is your sense now some of this.

Economic news -- getting because it has been.

Accelerating on the weak side can play with -- out terminology and that this latest jobs report confirms that I've talked to very.

Smart market watchers who predict another recession.

You know it's it was really scary -- see the numbers because once again the economists have predicted.

220000.

Jobs at 69000.

One thing I've I've come to the conclusion economists are wrong 100% of the time and what they predict that they still get to be economist.

I think I should become an economist is he or financial anchor it was the only job on how you'd be wrong 100 that's not that it still ask -- for your advice I don't.

Have to denied that that the fact that that we've got a trend that ain't good and the argument for the of Obama administration has been brought them that the numbers are stabilizing.

They stressed today again that this was say what you -- that a month of job gains not losses and they have been twenty some odd months of those and that's good.

What he's -- it doesn't matter if you're not employed right now as roughly 25 plus million Americans are not.

You don't care the excuses and you don't care what the numbers are for somebody else you -- whose numbers you care about yours.

And if your household has less expendable income even if you are employed than it did a year ago four years ago.

Obama's in trouble and what that Republicans have got to do is to remind people that it's not.

What the big picture of the economy -- it's this little picture that you live in and the big question I think Republicans -- -- races this.

If you had.

A 100000 dollars that you want in the lottery and you -- invest it.

And put it in someone's hands to to manage it for you.

Would you let Barack Obama manager 100000 are Mitt Romney manager 100000 which person would you let managed a windfall that you've got your hands.

I think that's a telling question and the answer would probably.

The very good for the Republicans.

-- -- -- Not sure -- could give it some like me thinking give it to and I could hang onto it and they didn't have it before and they wouldn't Democrat out there you go they'd be running it on tomorrow -- -- I think it's going to be a very powerful show it's the anniversary of the big decision back in 1964 actually today that he prayer and Bible reading at a school Bill Murray does -- of Madeline Murray -- will be their talk about his Christian conversion.

And how his mother wanted him dead because he had converted.

To bring -- to show also have Tommy Thompson.

Former governor of Wisconsin.

Current senate candidate talking about the very interesting situation in Wisconsin in the election -- -- you know so he rubs biblical these big -- -- studied all right governor thank you -- though.
