Issues. We have callers during the first 45 minutes saying, why are they focusing on jobs and the economy. Concern think that is a that some republicans have. As i said a minute ago, many the basics see political rationale for these hearings as seen as how they can make make life difficult for secretary clinton. There are other republicans who think this is over doing it and it is a basic argument within the House Republican conference over how they should be positioning themselves for the fall. Wee say emphatically all need to do is tear down the president and make life difficult for the president , say no to everything the president is for. And others are saying the voters dont want just to vote against people, they want to vote for people, and the republicans should be standing for something, should be promoting something, should be advocating things. John boehner, the speaker, does try when you see him go before the cameras which he does a couple of times a week generally after Hou

Should we diminish enforcement and penalties for those other crimes that are far more serious . Racialhere are disparities in the approach to criminal justice, we should seriously consider examining the types of sentences and approaches we take to dealing with those Public Safety issues. I take that as sort of a yes. Do you agree that there is thatl bias or bigotry leads to these rates of arrests . People dont draw that conclusion based on analysis that is race alone. I think you have to look at other factors. I brought up one of the factors that we considered that calls for service. There are more police in an area, there is likely to be more arrests. It is an issue that needs to be looked at carefully. Worked on the metropolitan Police Department for 25 years. They would obviously be very at set to hear that theyre being accused of biased enforcement. To reiterate a statement you you are notyou say affirmatively going into community seeking out criminals. Youre getting calls. And you

The house is proceeding with its strategy of offering a single, permanent tax break extension. The next one they are talking an extension of investments by small businesses. Something very, very popular in the Business Community and we might see that when the house returns from their oneweek recess next week or by

So he pushes tax breaks similar to that of the tv and Film Industry he says is about keeping broadway on broadway and that jobs in new york tuned way to go senator schumer. Now give the rest of us a break so while you help cinderella get off of fireback. For real. It is amazing when democrats see the fallout from their ways they reversed course to save their jobs because tax breaks, tax credits or tax cuts work. They create revenues and i commend the senator for saying that. I cannot believe i am saying that. I commend . Ply suspect he already knew that just like every liberal who professes otherwise because every time push comes to shove it goes just the opposite when trying to get out of the bond. The president has money to spend his budget because he spends the money from the tax breaks that he offers in the same budget and why another politician a demo
