And we -- back with the panel.

Okay bill also Susan Rice.

Just been nominated for anything but we think she might be nominated possibly for secretary of state.

Although it seems the White House is doing some head counting after not a great week up on Capitol Hill.

There's really strike -- focus on the Republican senators privately -- went before they swear to -- rights and they I would -- their mood was.

They would like of like for her to be able to make her case successfully enough that they could say look I don't approve what she did.

On Sunday after the September 11 attacks but you know you've got in the benefit of the doubt you get to the president he should have his own personal sectors -- I think she was so.

Unsatisfactory in her answers that I do think now she faces close -- united Republican opposition you.

Have one other stories coming out about companies that she's invested then.

Environmentalists have some problems there's companies that had ties to Iran that brazen news stories.

That.

Her people say are not a problem anymore.

Point is is that.

Is this an issue for this White House and do you think the president still gonna put -- four.

I never thought he reporter for I think that he has been very protective of her through this whole episode and said that she's being unfairly -- -- But I think that John Kerry has been the leading candidate all along and I think that what we've seen from the senate people like Susan Collins a Republican from Maine his.

That she thinks that's John Kerry be a pretty good idea although -- -- people some of -- are sitting at this table who think that John Kerry has.

His negatives as well but I think John Kerry is the leading candidate and if you -- the other big ticket item here is.

You know Treasury Secretary and UC Geithner leaving -- who's been involved in negotiations on the hill.

And as much talk about Erskine Bowles who was part of -- Bowles Simpson or.

You can get someone like intake of lose the white -- -- -- Stan.

Where and when Susan Rice -- -- Susan Collins.

Perhaps the most of mild mannered senator.

In the congress and the senator who had to -- strikes.

When she was nominated to be the UN ambassador when you -- -- You've lost of the world that I think I don't quite understand how she went around with -- These meetings Jewish.

To be -- to Graham.

-- Collins to IR and she came out on the I'm talking about Susan Rice she came out on the wrong end of -- For somebody I think her nomination is -- -- the president if he's Smart he's not gonna nominated because if he does.

The big guys -- issue is gonna rise again.

UN Palestinian vote significance.

Big picture.

There's a great iron in to vote happen on precisely and deliberately on the day on which in 1947.

The general assembly voted to divide British Palestine into two states.

A Jewish state and an Arab state.

The Jews accepted -- the Arabs rejected because they couldn't countenance the existence of a Jewish state and they made war and it made war five times.

Had the Arabs accepted that resolution.

Sixty of five years ago we would now have a Palestinian state.

-- 65.

Years old.

It doesn't exist but was created with the UN and this week was a fictional state in the useless body the UN general assembly.

I don't think it's gonna help Palestinians at all.

Winners and losers want.

When -- well I think -- our big winner is whoever won that powerball.

I'm told it was you would -- Two definitely.

Out -- -- -- yeah I mean that's a big win that.

Of course I hear that one of them some Arizona.

Senator McCain had the -- out that it wasn't him.

-- -- Well I think losers anybody who was facing -- pres Obama doesn't support Israel or.

That there's no such thing as the missile defense you iron don't prove very very effective.

For protecting Israel during this war winner and loser bill.

I'll continue my class warfare team here originally to come back to every year once a year to the winner the winner of the week -- think it's -- nineteen top executives of hostess brands.

Who may get a bonus is up worth up those two million dollars as the company goes out of business for managing the going out of business while the workers of course pension funds haven't been -- up for the year.

And the losers.

The workers of America -- you know and is now we see in this budget deal and it was talked about the one tax and everyone -- should go up apparently on the democratic Republican -- a couple of hours.

Is the payroll tax Social Security.

Payroll tax it was going to be a 2% there's going to be a tax increase effective January unless someone steps up and says wait a second we're getting at what else the tax break they -- -- it wants Social Security tax for 2%.

Winners and losers of crystals turning into a socialist yeah.
