-- I'm Jonathan Hunt time Prague daily bias bash now.

President Obama nominating Jack -- as the next Treasury Secretary.

And Justin got -- -- -- -- news service has some concerns.

About the way the media covered this -- my big concern Justin was and everybody told about his signature Iran or anything more substantial.

Exactly that is just sign of the times that the media is really attracted to you know the most ridiculous issue -- kind of like a cat two cat bit.

And you know just speaking as somebody you kind of group of computers.

I don't really feel.

In the you know in the position to -- anybody's hand writing.

He's not pretty terrible.

But this is bizarre and you know it's even more useless when you realize that committee Geithner had a pretty terrible signature as well.

But he -- up for the dollar bill and there's no reason to believe that -- -- -- -- -- Right -- William what's is there some incentive to debate to have.

A -- Jack Louis Treasury Secretary though or is this just a slam -- nomination anyway.

I mean there's certainly a substantial debate that you know needs to occur and right now there's a lot of people in the media who are expressing outrage that.

There are senators were calling for this debate.

And that doesn't really seem necessarily genuine.

You know maybe they've been to -- asleep behind the wheel for months and months and months but this is going into one of the most heated partisan environments -- -- And the fact that the Republicans are fulfilling their duty to advise and consent.

Should not really come as a shock to anybody.

And it looks like there are probably -- with the -- concerns.

If you irritated a lot of members of congress if you rattle cages which looks like -- during the debt ceiling negotiations in 2011.

You can expect -- can't -- you hear your confirmation to be controversial and that's what I think we're seeing today and you know the media doesn't really strike me as being honest brokers when.

They view this as.

Something that's just kind of shocking and a nomination should be a slam dunk -- -- cakewalk.

Right it it would it would be interesting if if the the publications I have.

The space to do it gave us the sort of 4000 would.

Article backgrounds on all of these nominees it would I think it would serve all of us well I think you're right.

I'm the other the other subject today I guess Justin is this that -- trillion dollar -- the platinum coin.

I'll what do you make of the way we've been covering that is that just -- Just as silly that the debate on that.

It really is how we know that nobody serious is really proposing the -- except for one congressman.

And you know he pitched it it wasn't.

The number one solution.

Yesterday we saw the White House come out and say that they are not planning any move any ways to move around congress -- to outmaneuver them by printing -- -- -- -- the fourteenth amendment.

And in response the media just kind of doubled down they are now saying that -- left little room for the printing of the coin even though it's.

You know they're they're they're seem to have been no desire from the White House for that or anybody within the you know serious responsibility in the process.

Are adjusting to -- Justin dot -- -- -- radio news service with -- daily.

-- fashion just in and all those can be seen him on as you well know 230 and 11:30 PM eastern.

Every Saturday -- debating these sort of issues on FOX News Watch hosted by John Scott thank you very much indeed -- -- to -- --
