I don't get to -- Larry now for our daily biased fashion whip.

Back to the sequester I'm gonna have to look up -- in the dictionary because I still that I haven't haven't.

Decent definition of what it actually means.

-- rich you -- one of the smartest men Iran so you do know what it means.

I mean at some interesting thoughts on the way the media is covering -- issue of what boils down into automatic automatically treated -- so again.

Yeah I think that the president believes he has over the winning -- media strategy here and he probably does because the ladies these kind of fights usually -- Says they'll they'll be something.

That's very photogenic -- closes down and.

-- local community then the -- is.

Because there's -- a story.

-- the big story out of an -- outraged and that is they have these strategy Bill Clinton pursued during the government shutdown of the 1990 point one that politically.

And present -- basically working off their script and he's probably right I think gonna work.

-- -- that visit is there anything wrong with these sort of local markets in particular whether they be TV on newspaper.

Covering these kind of stories from.

Animal human perspective trying to put a human face somewhat off parole is a difficult economic -- -- otherwise.

It is a thing wrong with -- the nature of local is you know I used to be local journalism and you're desperate pretty story ever get up.

-- yes especially as it alludes it's.

Something that makes concrete.

What debate national debate and and have a local angle.

I would like he had in general not necessarily local reporters -- and their job.

But at the national press paying a little bit more attention shifts to the the bigger story over the cuts you have to credit -- -- There actually be 42 billion dollar.

Dollars in cuts and the -- thirteen which is one point 5%.

The federal budget this is something we should be able to achieve -- -- and our rational way.

I would also like to see a little more coverage that the tactical details how this works because.

I've known actor but my understanding it he can you account is getting cut that sort of flexibility within an account -- what you would actually cut and lack of respect the president.

Is doing for understandable political -- -- Is highlighting each of those accounts what would be that the the single most painful way to go about getting those cuts I doubt very much.

The prosecutors really.

Would be.

Coerced into releasing criminals that the -- doesn't affect that we're actually implementing it.

Rationally but it's in his interest to create speed the scary story possible to increase it is political leverage.

But and the president is not in your -- doing -- thing that.

Past presidents have done future president is unlikely today.

That's right I mean Bill Clinton did this before I don't consider it very high minded tactic I'd prefer if the president -- exactly -- doubted us.

Work out a way it'd be to get these.

Cut and a way that makes more sense I think eventually.

That will happen but we're in the -- in the political gamesmanship than the president thinks he has an advantage of it and drive it.

Home by every means possible -- -- All right -- showed great to see you -- Larry of course is editor of the national review and a -- -- -- -- and you know he's extremely -- because his office is lying to.

-- books and you can get more of its not some folks he's watched hosted by John Scott Saturday's 230 and 11:30 PM.

Eastern great to see -- Larry thanks very much a day -- -- I.
