Mounting violence over there to a growing threat over here as house lawmakers set to locate.
More spending and today is my next you're wearing about all of this democratic congress -- from New York Charlie Rangel.
Thompson always good to have you is this always good to be with -- saying -- is this Libya funding.
The additional funding to requesting part of this you know congress.
It does is not included in the SER.
And but have the funds that we already have allocated by the state I think whatever we need but then that's not gonna be in jeopardy at all.
But -- tell you one thing if you talking about to see other's minds and that's what you're talking right side today.
It's did to avoid a train wreck for this country.
And I am amazed that -- not more outrage and concern in.
About Americans doubt it's one thing to say that -- congress is not held in good Davis another thing to talk about.
The -- you have the United States to -- -- that's.
So you think John.
Did that that's what's at stake here that that that Moody's and its threat to downgrade.
Has to do what with making sure you guys run these things on time and present a budget.
It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that what budgets do you have progress there hasn't been -- three years now.
It would deeper in the hole what what if it's really.
Causing these credit guys the.
-- -- -- -- parents.
Which in my opinion his true.
That -- congress is not working with any type unity.
Should take you have the United States this fiscal responsibility.
The whole idea that we can have a six trillion dollars and -- -- And the fact that we paying.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in interest.
And that we can't come together to deal with question of taxation and spending.
And the fact that these parties -- just pulled up a lot.
Anyone looking at the United States of America would all of its greatness with all of the the past -- -- stability in the world.
And -- that Republicans and Democrats can't come together in order to agree on a budget though there's something wrong here.
And I'm telling you that I never thought in my life.
That partisan politics -- -- -- -- -- to present being able to get permission.
To raise the debt ceiling which we never had that.
And I called on congress and everybody did have that under president -- and both parties latest game and act and if you're appalled that somebody I mean not getting a budget in three years might be something you'd.
You share your concern about I Anderson we're coming right I know what -- is clear -- let me ask you both bodies are not right the only way both parties are to blame.
I here's I'm not know how will -- -- a peek at what happened the last aren't I would use you just reinventing history.
I just want to ask you this -- Do you think.
We will avoid a government shutdown is -- -- feeling that will still avoid that or are we still looking at one.
-- -- -- -- -- Republics and Democrats and skated at that at.
There'll be kicked out of view office they're not prepared to blame Democrats or Republican it will be that -- -- that would be blank.
That's why we have the the extension in order to pass it open so after the election come on what you think -- -- and it -- How much -- I thought it was -- the people.
But here's a guy had not gone on out I let him making clear and no Democrat or Republican is -- deny that somehow we're brainwashed that are reelection.
Is the only priority that we have truly that's unfortunate.
-- congress and thank you.
Thank you -- congress is about.
