hopefully if we can get that done, if the appropriators do what they're supposed to do, we can get back to a process that actually works again. we've tried super committees. we've tried bowles simpson. it hasn't worked. that's another process piece that i think, would argue that we're headed in the right direction by actually working within the framework of the united states congress to work these conflicts. >> thank you very much. appreciate you taking the time. by the way, the president was supposed to have a meeting today, but it didn't happen. was that an ominous sign? still to come, that terrorist in new york. he's here in new york city. is it too soon? is it safe? plus patient dumping.
