No yes the one who I was talks about a two glorious day it's highly says he's had a great and glorious vacation we don't know that to be the case. That's a weather has we assume that we assume that if he's had almost two full weeks away from us and has had a great indoor -- this at. -- is so congress' is the spending 200 million dollars and something that they desperately needed. Witches a way to get out of town. Fast tell us how quickly up ahead on the modest stagecoach I had a lot of -- you're never a few months ago when there was all that anger over this CEOs of the -- Auto companies and how tone deaf they work out how tone deaf to. Go to congress to beg for bailout money using three separate. Private jets to correct they could even jet pool and use one of their private jets and all go together these morons in Detroit. And now the morons in Washington wanna do what they wanna buy three gulf streams for themselves. The best. Private jets made the gulf stream until I read -- 550 price tag was of about 65 million dollars of SP great by the way just as a as an aside. Must be great to have the type of wealth. Available always say you know what. Gonna get the gulfstream 550 honey it'll just get us back and forth to you know to the different places we kept ago 65. Million dollars. Almost everyone about listen as pauses and gives a great deal of it done so shocking amount amount to purchasing going on purchasing a new car anyway are from but fifteen to 35000 dollars. 65. Median balloons wanna -- 65 million dollars this thing I I understand. Will do a hip replacement automatically for you while you're going up already are there -- with pure -- political advisers Diego. It's it's it does virtually any service and require they've got the they've got the equipment there how do you feel about congress spending this kind of money they're very good at posing. When there's a moment like that where the auto exacts her up there -- face the music. They seem to very skilled at the congressman do they're picking up what the vibe is in the marketplace and reflecting a force but. When you see this kind of behavior you get the feeling that don't actually feel it. Now they're just go to reflecting well they're good -- little -- actually come pretty good as well and I don't this is not really it necessarily compliment to us were pretty good at them and filtering in providing only one angle -- through the through a particular lands. Throughout legitimate needs from legitimate uses for these aircraft as well. Like what combat commanders will be using news. They have their own jets combat commanders world this is -- is actually part of a replacement of an aging fleet. Reading the story there's there it is deep feeling I'm not by an annual and -- use the military uses planes are like from from the fourteenth century. As some -- do you think that's appropriate for the US militarily I don't -- to not what they use some they spend more money than than anybody -- in all of the history mankind is spent on anything near the military in Afghanistan they're happy flying around at all I don't I don't begrudge them and luckily we should be -- yeah we should be stated the Chile's state and they're going on waste -- mind is always bad money. Agree it's always a bad thing to squander it stated the -- doesn't mean it's wasted stated the I mean -- that -- new technological and I disagree with you I don't begrudge them state of the art I begrudge them. Being indulgence a -- and to be buying new planes for congress. Does not -- into our executive department employees so let's see who say Hillary Clinton and a dozen advise Hillary going all the Saudi Arabia she can put a sticker thumb up. Arise where you are as I'm concerned let's put that question and we ought not to would you pick up Hillary hot hot hot hot option if Bill Lester once again at the side of the Iraq. I think the timing on this is inappropriate Hillary stick and at -- about. Woodstock call bus Hillary is the -- not if there's a you know it's like you bill and Hillary here checking bill hides and runs out. -- a little leg arm and right and the -- over a it's. It's even if they even have let's give them the benefit of the doubt say they need these -- you still don't to it now. Well its.

It and now you're onto something because there's a time and a place and while there's always going to be critic -- an hour and a group of what I -- a grievance group out there. And you'll never get away with this without some type a negative commentary. This is a very very I think it's very difficult political timing for them they've given election as you said to the the heads of the -- rate. And that was a lot of political theater of political posturing. That people are very concerned about the absence of any noticeable economic -- from the stimulus. An inch multi trillion dollar deficits Obama camp -- this notion that hey a couple of hundred million foot tree jets. To move us around the country more quickly. It creates a -- even greater gulf and even greater distance between that's why it's called adults during the the elected. And the electorate. And you know there's a time and a place for the stuff I'm gonna ask the.

Three. Executives here to raise their hand. If they flew here commercial. What the record show no hands went up there we go second going to ask you raise your hand if you're planning to sell your jet. In place now and fly back commercial. Let the record show. No hands went up its. Oxman. I guess it's. The left there what you get -- and head writer. A little leverage but anyway we have it let's take some calls on the 6172666060. Is this the right time for congress. To be investing in the best private luxury jet made listen to this description. The gulfstream G 550 is a luxury business jet. Which the company advertisers. Advertises this featuring long range flight capacity that easily links Washington DC with Dubai London. And Singapore and Tokyo with Paris the company's -- some immaterial saying get this the cabin aboard the G 550. Combines productivity with a exceptional comfort. It features up to Ford distinct living areas three temperature zones. A choice of twelve floor plan configurations with seating for up to eighteen passengers. This is what congress needs right now put him in a C 130 or whatever. And cart them around as uncomfortable as possible they don't need luxury jets have come on now Bob good morning -- WRK out.

Good morning how are you guys would tell you. I get to Portugal to recycle and into the mentioned just. Solid the second one. -- What do you -- Obama and Biden. You know the other machine getting all the stuff fashion emergency we gotta get this done their health care broke what do you remember doing the cards up but what that you they have the lady in the broke. And -- was -- and she should Warren -- behind at a slightly more devastation guy walks by -- to me yeah that there should have a population opinion that there. -- The joke I know I -- what is actually. Going.

That's a great visual I that's what she does -- with a third point that's your honor I.

I'm -- resolved and we you know it took gold for ever just to get the chick you know I remember this go to the next military man. That W five million appropriation for their chicken plating -- body -- and that's such -- took the -- ever made -- important that you know little quick but he Eric 200 million to just -- a finger and get these guys off that. -- it's not as they -- the beaten her in check in as they have these traps like chip they keep. At a time they know they're going head to they have the book appeal of the entourage is and everybody -- to -- along with them -- this objecting is outrageous.

The go passing a proper response have you military guy who you know I think in separate fact from fiction and you know all the rest of 61726666. -- good morning RW RKO.

Hello good morning good morning bill that's -- taught I agreed to -- this morning for the first time in my life really what -- years. Usually I don't agree if you ever why they make you want to cash upon this thing because. And doing the right thing for the past twenty fight -- drive a small fuel if you. -- have been cut out of the cash markets are.

Am I gonna tell I have wanna bill and I and it's time blocked bills and it's time more I think he's listening to the U -- to the website. He's he's doing a -- cash for -- Yeah we talked about de SA -- sing to it on the website if you go to Hillary are here at -- com click on audio files or whatever it's called. Now you can listen to what everyone you're just not supposed to call and talk about that wireless until yeah. 6172666868. Wow like happily go on with that one has just thrown me -- three jets that the the air force is gonna use to cart around members of congress it 200 million dollars for the three jets he heard about the luxury they were present I think. The air force already has funny planes they can use them and they should mean buying new planes -- lousy idea he wanted one of these when he was up -- the state house.

Well no not really but he did it would have been nice to governor salute -- I would -- on a trade mission to to France and to Laura Ireland. We were guests at the Paris air show which is an incredible. An incredible show. And we did actually do look at a Raytheon corporate -- Tuesday about violent BI I actually encouraged him on behalf of the state -- look I mean if you think it's if -- if you're -- it's worthwhile investment will look upon -- in the house I think we could just like that well the united -- amazing hour trip abroad -- spending you know you process it through committee and the like now -- just to give -- contrast it's a very different state of the the first to admit. But Texas from multiple times outsized. I think Texas has about forty the state of Texas has about forty of these corporate jets available to know but could. To the governor lieutenant governor members of the Senate members of the house threatened that this this state delegation at the congressional delegate I can see -- one or two and I have audience a little -- available as hot and I -- know -- they are still things -- they do and so let's say you know representative Todd wants to go to -- You know that night -- some kind of event or some kind of whatever of funders what they call about MIP fund raise whatever he just calls the state police -- says. Get dead jet ready and had -- Lubbock I wanna be off the ground but for.

Clock that's scary stuff the ago are you offended by this idea and the Governor Deval Patrick grandiose way of living in Texas we don't do -- around so -- the governor tried to get the the helicopter under regularly use jump the gun a little bit before he reached the that the enormous heights of popularity that is at today he tried to do that you have such US such a wise anyway this. What -- they also have that I'm not a slip but he try to do right off and I believe the governor any governor RS should be able to travel the -- that helicopter from virtually any event. And any I agree and I wish the governor we use of off as a matter of fact I hope he takes over the hospital offers tips searcher. Rocket morning on WR --

Good morning guys and Gloria it's not. Autonomy -- edit I let the 2.0 start but one person. It doesn't an -- are reasons or are part Brewster band Accenture bunkers again turning off culture is -- what do.

Nothing nothing about it department of I can get the 4500 bucks -- ha ha ha.

Eric Eric Eric -- I think -- that the cash for our company as big a event that -- real. Problem example are. How these stimulus money should have been spent in the first place so a lot of people were very frustrated with the fact that. You know there's almost got operated and nobody ever sought at least in this case. The consumer gets the money directly.

And uses it in a quick way which pumps up the economy going intended. I was making that point the other day Rocca and so I think you're absolutely right -- Tom was resisting but if we could replace some of the stimulus dollars. With this type of dollar who would need like -- road project three years down the road wouldn't it be better to -- to -- we have with the the cash for clunkers program gonna.

I you know I guess the there's obviously some immediate. Economic impacts our American who. American be dismissive of but what I would like to see if this country is gonna take on literally trillions of dollars in debt which -- children will pay through the nose for our currency were taken nose -- for. I would in my preference would be to have a and equality and economic value for fifty years a -- about reservoirs of tartan about sure rich capacities. I. 120 idea that that's see that's the opposite argument they got both sides of the story get the long term. That's of value per full fifty years haven't taken out fifty is a -- I wanna have fifty is of value David Marciano WRKO what do you think of these jets for congress yet do you think they should have more this.

No I don't think they have to name all over. Pelosi and boxer.

When they beat that that's a great idea if they had to have their name on them while they were using them. When they'll let you know how that -- aboard the bomber squadrons used to record your friend's name like -- hands I like the upper class. There is an okay we got an offensive -- that's a great idea. I like it did.
