He talks about some of the issues rating facing congress. He is the Top Republican on the Judiciary Committee and one of the conferees working on a Budget Proposal for 2014. Here is a reef look at the interview. Brief look at the interview. I do not believe will be easy for us to make an agreement between the republicans and the democrats.
