Hardest scene right outside -- McDonald's in Times Square is a large crappy statements of the last.

The double quarter pounders I just left there about.

Ten minutes ago anyway.

Okay as and we got that -- -- Union protesters are gathering right outside there now that's right McDonald's the golden -- the latest target in a post election blitz.

By big labor from Mickey -- to Wal-Mart to one of the -- busiest airports to key shipping -- big labor flexing its muscle and birdies the -- and it's.

I could be a big problem and he knows first hand he dealt with the unions when he was the CEO of Verizon Wireless.

And -- -- review is you -- you have no problem -- you have a very big problem with unions to.

Overstepped themselves and this going after the government's.

Words you why well didn't feel first of all I have a big problem with unions.

-- lying to the people that they're trying to organize.

In this case what I have seen is they are talking about raising the wage to fifteen dollars an hour.

They have no ability whatsoever to do that.

But isn't that in enticing worrying for the people that they're trying to organize of course.

The people will be very interest it and popping their pay by as much for six dollars per hour.

Then what's that gonna look at the price of quarter pounder well OK so.

This is not good for the economy it's not good for the companies they're trying to organize and I would suggest that long run it is not good for employees.

We've seen the destruction that unions causing companies across the United States.

-- they served their purpose 75 years ago I give them credit for that but today unions are obsolete.

Well I don't argue that -- street in the -- here's what I worry about that you can overplay.

And election right in the you make cases -- didn't -- really -- the present when the election keep premise was raising taxes on wealthy would you like it or not.

You could make -- arguably he's gonna get that now now.

For the unions -- to the senate Capitol Hill as they did this week.

To descend on Wal-Mart to descend on the early acts to go to shipping ports to go to one big company after another and now McDonald's.

This.

This is over play in -- they are flexing muscle because of what has happened we have another four years of President Obama.

They know that this administration.

Pose the unions.

They know that they have an NLRB.

That will be controlled by Democrats and they'll have -- for four years the policies and decisions that we will see coming out of this you know are being.

We'll be union's international relations were but you -- its interest in about this by the way -- this section to be good if you try to stay at a time.

You just ticket and it it's but.

I don't -- Wendy's was free -- clear for us practice.

Anyway.

I.

I I had this wacky thought on what's going on that day.

Could be hurting themselves severely.

-- that.

Let's say they were able to unionize McDonald's that obviously pay those higher wages.

Everything's developed prize may be a lot so they overplay their hand much as some argue.

Some Democrats overplaying their hand now with this life.

You -- first of all they are not going to get anything near what they're telling the people are treated -- -- what is old is about what's a little bit okay all of that went all of this is about is trying to get people to join unions are trying to get people's interest.

And why even if it like.

Skipping out upon -- so we'll get something that what what they may get some interest in a minute but the issue is union dues that's what they're going for our Denny thank you.
