Well the president's sequester message was dramatic to say the least.

Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and what criminals gulp air traffic controllers and airport security will -- cutbacks.

Which means more delays at airports across the country tens of thousands of parents -- to scramble to five child care for their kids.

That was during the sky is falling -- so the president has changed since I changed his tune but our next guest says that in order for Republicans to win the battle.

Of the budget.

They need to amp up their message by having a little stage -- syndicated columnist to Roy Murdoch is a Fox News contributor he joins us live here at the big plastic -- So what you say is the Republicans really need to bring their a game and start.

-- -- Well the first thing we need to do is remember that they do control the House of Representatives in the can filibuster sometimes the senate.

I think a lot of Republicans on the hill are just terrified and they think well we lost the election and into -- -- in control.

No they controlled the house and they should act that way.

So for example when President Obama says -- reliefs and build it gives me the flexibility to spend money.

On things that air traffic control but instead spend -- on on the things that he says he's locked into right pass the Bill Clinton is presently we want you to this flexibility he may not want to we're gonna vote and on about put on in the house.

-- -- and give -- -- flexibility so we can't turn -- right wing Republicans so once Republicans pass something then and this is the stagecraft part and it's brilliant on your part.

You say John -- company takes a built in hand.

Walks through the capitol square to the other side of -- capitol building where the US senate is we have all the cameras rolling -- we've got Boehner.

And catcher in the entire GOP conference walking it physically cross the pressure do this in the budget with a budget on the passive as well.

And out the other side -- Mitch McConnell Republicans receive it.

As a thank you we will receive this bill do everything we can't get on the senate floor -- -- the entire world see the Republican Party legislating.

And did everything they can to have a fiscally sane responsible government because right now so many people think it's total gridlock in Washington DC nothing's happened.

That is not true the Republican congress on the house side -- past many many bills and a number of job bills.

But you know -- descended electronically are perfect courier or -- -- I don't know some heroin ring yeah nothing nothing you know it's been four years since the US senate under the Democrats have passed the budget the house has done it dutifully every year that's the most they're supposed to that they have been supposed to do so.

And so when they pass the budget they should carry -- over.

Have all the cameras see them carry the budget over to the senate have Mitch McConnell Republicans receive it and say we Republicans have done according to law we're supposed to do.

Now it's up to the Democrats and that Obama can't spin and point fingers.

And talk about a do nothing Republican congressman is doing things right and many feel that's -- in game where he's gone up to Capitol Hill with this.

You know this charade of charm offensive yet.

And people are fine if they know that eventually -- does -- look I tried my best and you got a boy who put on charm right off before too long.

Ultimately though -- -- this is this is a a contest the Republicans in the house can.

They can but they need to get up off the floor stop crying and moaning about we lost the election remember they won the house the control -- that should act that way and John Boehner.

Should tell you know it is Wheaties and be tough about this.

You gotta read ahead -- the Droid Murdoch says syndicated column on the topic it's also a Fox News contributor and he joins us -- -- -- to think that you see you thank you guys to see you.
