All right -- -- to government aid restaurant good grades what Tennessee lawmakers or any other kind has introduced a new bill that's not welfare benefits to children's school performance.

Critics call CC capital's proposal unfair but he says it would force parents take it more active role in their kids' education he does Fox News dot -- Nothing motivates people like money we have done very little hold parents accountable for -- for child's performance.

It's unacceptable that this generational cycle of poverty continue I couldn't agree -- -- is that wasn't even listening while I read that.

Job dots it how hard is it to get a that's a really the problem the -- a -- these parents kids are going to school yet because parents are -- for not getting the school I didn't know that's true that I -- thoughts.

Yeah -- semi and -- got my point here but.

Yeah thank you can't place the well being of a family and a kid his already is coming from a family is not very well off you know that being said getting your child to school is not.

A burden on the childhood to burden on the parent and that's part of the things that the government is giving the money that kid to do the government is paying these people money.

So they can -- fulfill their basic responsibility -- parents feed your kids.

Put a roof over their heads.

Get them to schools I don't think there should be a great requirement on this.

But I do agree with time -- money to doing things like getting your kid in the classroom and not -- 11 o'clock and -- You know I don't know if you can better of that commentary -- perhaps you can try with some kind of witty remark.

I well I'll say this I think this is the kind of statement that makes people think Republicans are bunch of meanings you.

Really them because we could have said was will tie it will give you more money for improved great performance yet know what he had to say it was if they're not doing well and cut your money.

Yeah which is very different message that you can argue that kind of means the same thing but it really doesn't because what you're trying to you don't punish people -- these people wolf are ready so -- probably kind of a bad way.

So if you say don't hey if you are able to devote any extra time improving kids' grades there they will be incentives for that because -- that's most of the changes people's behavior incentive.

Then we would have to pay the extent put it this way should you wouldn't be able to flunk out of welfare.

-- that's yeah it's it's very hard to do what I do.

-- that's that's more of the bills we will house the act that hits it.

He has no welfare billion -- -- wheel house -- do a little we will have left but you know what.

You have a lot of wheels quickly about thirty seconds.

I've often bonds and mutual and I was there to get these kids bring to school there's another officer and -- -- opposite I mean it can't happen.

Let's I had Satan.

I don't know -- -- things I don't blame Reagan.

We really didn't have their -- school.

Which -- now be specific.

That you -- let just say yes and I think you're gonna say the sun that dance Reagan from the exorcist my arm.
