mhm when i bring in our executives who gentleman's going to go ahead
you've chosen so far the
you're absolutely right about the level decency here in congress just going back
to the question of of house speaker bear spoke to leader read
divinity
you've broad around the block cup once or twice
this isn't entirely new is it right
i'd i remember
icy river back in in the middle of the bush presidency
i think that uh... senator pat leahy from vermont
was kneeling
vice president cheney about
serve the no-bid contracts and help her in was getting and
in in iraq
and apparently vice president cheney also told them two goals
to go it
do something to himself and other newspapers reported this i think it's on
the scene anatomically impossible does that uh... was the preferred sir michael
you guys are so cute but
it at least this kind of thing happens i think it goes to show
are
we but whacking respect for each other in some ways n when theres no respect
when you'd feel free to chicken package something like that
quite honestly how do you work with
how do you never work a bit difficult issues come to an understanding
seeing each other's positions
just get the job done
i don't know uh... i think it has gotten worse
army translate my opinion
and you know i would encourage people to at the following called a congressman
order several when they do something like that
and dole staffer what week we didn't end in washington d_c_ to get into a brawl
we schedule b c to get the workout place a bid to get back to it
it's interesting though you say it really has gotten worse because
obviously there's some aspects of congressional behavior that have gone
better
for instance
we do have congressmen that are caught driving drunk or senators attack of the
senator from mike uh... from idaho most recently mike royko
but i think it was nineteen seventy three or four
that are never cars from arkansas
wilbur mills was uh...
was caught driving drunk and drove into the potomac
with a with a *** and and and the parsley
obviously of
the there were many such incidences of
corruption was perhaps moreover
more out in the open people getting land deals getting parts that has rebuilt
bags of cash
we know about kennedy's election francis in nineteen sixty and have you might
have
potentially organized crime connections to get votes in illinois
uh... so i i guess from what i what i'm getting at is
isn't isn't is at all
on that
have removed is a one seven four one set backward is a new kind of corruption a
new kind of disrespect for the institutions
i woke up a new type of disrespect for the implications artwork
honestly
again you know our lou
images to be nice to each other
they were just because you did
everything whichever or maybe you know in yet other there's a certain amount of
uh...
well there were times when
people from either side of the aisle will go out
at dinner and and all the parties together and they could have
happen opportunity to build relationships are matching that today as
much as it used to date
heidi's think that
perhaps you know uh...
they gotta figure out a way to build those interpersonal relationships
you don't necessarily have to agree with each other you have different point of
view
uh... but
you know
again this leads back to
if you're getting into an argument was somebody who are willing to curse at
somebody
in public and then go back to brag about it how are you going to do the people's
work
power are you going to get the job done that the american public sends people to
d_c_ to do
i don't know i don't see how they can do it
yeah and i think i could find in a man's as instant messaging me here
sonya wrap up this segment is that it's about money in a sense of because
they're out there spending you out there trying to raise so much money spent so
much of their time nelson legislating in and spending time away from the floor
and socializing with one another there out there right
busy more money so maybe they never really get to know each other and
you know sort of an interesting new argument for out for a public financing
of elections that if they can take away the instead of that that that bomb ickes
have to spend so much time having to raise money than they need to get to
know one another maybe the language
the use of monarch it's better in any case charles schulz are always great
