chili peppers or that guy, actor will ferrell. jimmy fallon tried to answer the question on "the tonight show" last night. >> do you play for the lukewarm chili peppers? >> think i we know who won. >> who is stronger aquaman or "spider-man." i don't know. >> seal see you back here in an hour. out numbered starts right now. >> this isout numbered. -- "outnumbered." we have today's #oneluckyguy, bob beckel. he is outnumbered, bob. >> nice to be back. really good. i particularly like the stage with -- that -- >> what is this hdtv now? >> you guys have such a good show going, you have to get a better set.

the thing sucks to be honest with you. >> stop, you love it. >> are you working on three-day weekend to help us change it? >> i'm going fishing. >> me too. fly fishing. >> oh, fly fishing. whoa, i used to do that when i had money. now i do fishing near the apartment. >> bob, thank you for dressing up our set for at least today. >> well -- >> here we go. he is not budging. veterans affairs secretary eric shinseki vowing to stay on the job as more key democrats call for him to go and scandal engulfing his agency intensifies. the embattled secretary in brief remarks to reporters his depart you are is not his call. he serves at the pleasure of his boss, president obama. amid allegations of secret va waiting lists disguised to hide the agency's notoriously long wait times. in some cases veterans dying. those claims surfacing in at least 26 va facilities across

more than a dozen states. that list expected to grow. meantime any support secretary shinseki has on the hill appears to be eroding day by day. listen to what speaker of the house john boehner had to say. >> i have not called for general shinseki to resign although i have to admit i'm getting a little closer. but here's the point. this isn't about one person. this isn't about the secretary. it's about the entire system underneath him. i don't want, i don't want people to get confused about what the shiny ball is here. the shiny ball is a systemic failure of this agency. >> you know, bob, there is no question that shinseki, former army general, awarded purple heart, two "the lord of the rings: the two towers" of duty in vietnam. -- two tours of duty in vietnam. somebody dropped the ball and somebody needs to pay the price. >> how boehner get as tan like that all the time, doesn't

matter which season it is? look, this the va had problems back to, its founding, you heard the complaints over and over again. the problem now is, it happens at the worst time to the obama administration because forget the systemic problems from the rest of it. it will take a lot to do that. shinseki will not be able to do that by him sell or replacement. it is politics when, you deal with veterans that you deal with something hits home. fbi scandal, irs, unless you were directly affected by it, none that matters but this one worries me. >> i don't think we should be talking about the political timing of this. this is about veterans dying and -- >> trying to make me feel i'm not being sensitive? >> i think you started out by, yes i am actually saying that. and kirsten, do you think shinseki is take these allegations serious by what you've seen? >> he doesn't seem, neither he or the president seem to be particularly upset about it. that is what is bothering me.

they feel they should be more animated and clearly angry about it. maybe they just show their emotions in different way and not showing us what we want to see but i do think, look, i get that the white house wants to have the investigation and make sure that all the allegations are true before they fire somebody. i think that is actually a fair thing rather than having this sort of everyone wants a head on a platter. let's actually see what happens and make a decision. the question is, will anybody get fired at that point? because that doesn't seem to happen very often. >> the big problem eric shinseki with all the things he has done which are very respectable the point in he was brought in to do a job. the job was not done. it has been five years. someone needs to be held accountable like the private sector. backlog doubled under his watch, that is a fact. the second issue in terms of accountability, you would hope the president would want to take action on issue as serious as veterans dying but when you look at rhetoric he used, it is exact same thing. the other day he gave a speech used the statement that, if

these allegations prove to be true. we know that they're true. we know what is happening and he wants to wait until august for a report. that indicates to me that we're going to see same pattern of non-accountability moving forward because he is using exact same words he used for other situations that have not been resolved. >> to speaker boehner's point, harris, maybe we're putting too much on shinseki himself. maybe this is evidence of a more systemic problem. >> those are very sage words only because we'll look down the road and wonder whether or not this is more widespread. we'r talking 150 hospitals in the va system. 800 clinics. it is one of the largest health care systems in the world. so they have to press forward and see if this is more widespread. i think boehner has a good point. do we want to focus on this one person. i want to speak to kirsten's point his personality is low-key. this man is a veteran who had to use the system. he lost part of his foot by stepping on a landmine in vietnam.

it is a little odd he would not be more out there with his emotions. when night shows take poke at you. jon stewart says his mad as hell face looks like i'm out of orange juice face. it becomes problematic. >> like for myself i don't show emotions very often. >> we have to president you on a seven-second delay. >> maybe i should talk to shinseki to show him how to look angry. >> this topic gets other people emotional. this appears to contradict the storyline the white house gave on the terror attack in benghazi that killed four americans. darrell issa says a classified email he received, within hours the attack the white house warned youtube about consequences of posting an anti-islam video. that was before the intelligence community came up with those controversial talking points portraying the attack as response to the video and a narrative which turned out not to be true. so bob, i know you have been sort of defending the

administration on this and this, on one hand the white house says, oh, this shows we always thought it was video but on the other hand it also suggests that it wasn't the intelligence community at that told them that. >> i have been defending administration for several years as have you on occasion and sometimes -- >> not on this i haven't. >> i feel like only fire plug at westminster dog show. the fact is that, i think what issa's mistake although issa makes a lot of mistakes. he is lousy chairman. he should be gone. had 25 hearings. haven't come up with anything. there are no more smoking guns. >> keeps rolling her eyes while you're speaking. >> political decision made during the campaign. no question about it. i was first one. i thought it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. what it shows there were people concerned about the video. >> bob, come on, just a second. i'm not going to let kate at this go in a second. first of all they're not releasing email. they're complaining issa

released it. why didn't they release it in the first place? where did they come up with this? claimed it came from the intelligence community. now it didn't come from the intelligence community? we did it three hours -- >> trying to project campaign situation and out front being antiterrorist guy and middle of last couple of months of campaign -- >> ding, ding. >> if i were there i would have come up with anything i could possibly think of. >> are you now admitting that the white house came up with youtube talking point not because it was true but because there was election on the line? >> i don't know about youtube talking point i could care less. >> it really matters because that was the entire, entire point and election was on the line and president obama was out there telling the entire country and the world, al qaeda was on the run. you had the white house not only coming up with this youtube line and then lying for weeks bit on national television and in front of the u.s. >> they didn't lie about it. >> what her original question? are you saying they did this and it is okay? >> do i think it is okay?

i think, i'm a politician. i go way back on this stuff. i've seen every administration play politics particularly in presidential re-election year. if i was out there and running a guy running on anti-terrorism platform and something came up i would everything in the law, right to the edge of the law to spin it way i want to. >> i think yes, at white house they're not on campaign so i don't think that is okay. why is the white house reaching out to youtube to tell them what to? >> before americans were out of harm's way? >> whether whatever you think about darrell issa he bluntly said they hurried to push a false narrative before we got americans out of harm's way. before the intelligence community could actually assemble and digest the evidence that was at hand. why did they grow to youtube that fast? i'm sorry, bob, i'm directing that at you? >> i know you are. i'm telling you the idea that, republicans are playing politics over four dead bodies here, simple as that they have been doing it from the beginning.

you think with we would have all extended hearings and gone ahead of special committee if it wasn't election year. of course not. they're playing politics. >> you just admitted the white house came up with this youtube line to save an election. republicans are politicizing that. >> they said it, didn't they? >> harris, what do you think? >> i want to get back to the whole youtube narrative. 9:00 p.m. that night, right they sent that email? clearly our people were already in harm's way inside of libya inside that consulate. what was it bob? we know it wasn't in the situation room because the president wasn't there and we don't have that photo-opportunity to prove one way or other but we were told he wasn't. sitting around what could it be and you call youtube? >> if you want to defend them you could say they actually really thought it was video. >> i think they did, initially -- >> reached out to youtube. >> my question more, is it the job of the government, katy, to call youtube and tell them to take something down? >> oh, sure. >> that comes in a long line of as you report ad lot and talked

about the obama administration doing everything they can to control the message and to intimidate private outlets of freedom of speech and for speech into submission because it might -- >> every administration tried to control -- >> maybe we could forgive that if in fact it were saving lives this as sandra pointed out, we talked about the timeline, this was already in motion at the time. we're going to roll. hold your thought. do we need to put you back on delay? >> should put me on delay to begin with. don't worry about it. we're fine. >> ready? new firestorm over race sparked by an nba team owner. wait a minute before you think you know what the story is, this is not about donald sterling this is about mark cuban and what he said to stir the fire. and the sort of apology he is issuing. a coach telling his players, no, something, for an entire month. reaction. we'll hash it out with #oneluckyguy and all the rest of

>> you are watching "outnumbered" and we're brad you are. mark cuban the billionaire owner of the. [b am dallas mavericks sparking a new firestorm over race in his candid remarks about the accusations of racism against fellow owner donald sterling. here it is. >> we're all prejudiced in one way or the other. if i see a black kid in a hoodie, and it is late at night, i'm walking to the other side of the street. if on that side of the street there is a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere, i'm walking back to the other side of the street. and the list goes on of stereotypes that we all live up to and, and are fearful of. >> you heard, his examples there were biracial, if you will. however, it is the hoodie remark is causing the stir. in lied of the trayvon martin story. cuban later talking to twitter,

apologizing to trayvon's family but still defending his comments, saying quote in hindsight i should have used different examples and i didn't consider the trayvon martin family i apologize to them. beyond apologizing to the martin family i stand by words and substance of the interview. then it goes on. i think helping people improve their lives, helping people engage with people they may fear around understand and helping people realize we all may have our own prejudices and bigotries we have to learn it is issue we have to control. part of my responsibility as entrepreneur to try to solve it. that is a lot of tweets from one guy. he got his whole point out though. >> he did and i want to just, stress, that this was not mark cuban stirring an issue about race. this was his critics stirring an issue about race. as you pointed out and as his words clearly state he was talking about both he black men and white men late at night. i can tell you if i'm walking down the street late at night, especially if i see any kind of man, i don't care what color his

skin is, i'm going to cross the street like any human being would do and anyone taken a self-defense class would have done the same thing. >> what if it was me? >> ridiculous to ask people to put aside their own personal safety for sake of political correctness. no one should do that and ridiculous they're taking issue and offended by this. >> what about mark cuban's assumption we all come to the table with prejudices and bigotries and it is part of life and we have to control it? >> i actually think he is right. i think people don't even realize maybe the things that they, thoughts that they have. there is implicit association task which is done when people take it even an african-american takes it they will some biass towards african-americans. we all sort of absorb it from the culture. i think that is what he was talking about, refreshing to talk about that so openly and so predictable what the response will be. you have these people, i don't know they think so perfect and they never, never make any mistakes, whatever it is and

jump on people and twist everything around like what they done to katy what she said yesterday, twisting it around even though any woman walking down the street would clearly have that same response. little different when it's a man, right? it is mark cuban. i don't know, bob, when you walk down the street, do you cross the street? women cross the street. >> yeah they do. >> not because bob is coming. >> that's all right. i know my job here. i know my job here is to -- >> ah. >> listen, i understand what he is talking about. our friend juan williams gets on an airplane and loses his job at npr because he said he was afraid of people who were muslims. i would be the same way. i don't walk down the street and see five guys with hoodies walks the other side. what scares me is little old ladies. when i was working in college at a funeral parlor and had to pick up body at psych ward at bellview. going to get body, old lady jumped on me.

ever since then i see old lady i cross the street. they scare the hell out of me. it is not about race. >> my mother called the show and wants to talk to you. >> i'm sure she does. >> the automatic white previous tense test talking about university of washington at seattle. this was people's honest response, the thoughts they're having. are we in society, sandra, people can't say what they really think? has it got enso the point, pc. wasn't like he was bashing anybody. he was saying this is how i feel. i feel responsible to make sure that i don't act on those thoughts? >> actually he commented on that. he made a lot of comments. if you guys don't know mark cuban i watched him a lot in the business world the. he can be a little bit after knucklehead. i respect him as entrepeneur. but he puts himself out there. what i don't like he makes blanket statements. if you said something you regret, say that. if you stand by what you said, stand by it.

don't tell us we're all prejudice in our thoughts annan of us have pure thoughts. maybe that is true. i don't like people feel they can speak for all of us because it is, you know, we're all entitled to our own opinion. i have not taken the test by the way. >> could you introduce me to somebody with a pure thought. >> i'm not saying that, bob. you're missing the point. >> no, i'm not i'm kidding with you. i think you're exactly right. i think you're exactly right. >> we'll get to bob's favorite story. we can't even -- >> exactly. >> he needs time for this. the world cup, did you hear this? now less than three weeks away, millions of people across the world going to be watching, so in effort to boost performance, team mexico is telling its players, you can not have sex during this tournament, which last as month by the way. the team's manager says a player can't do it, if they can't do it. or if they can't not do it i guess i should say, then they're not prared to be a professional. players are also forbidden from drinking alcohol and eating

beef. brazil had also made a similar request of its players, telling them normal sex is okay but not acrobatic sex. i had to say that. >> how are they going to police this? is this like the honor system? how are they going to know? >> hey, it is honor system. have you ever seen seinfeld. they all walk in the room and all lose the bet. >> tell you something, rocky's words on this, i want to get to you first, rocky said, women weaken legs. is there any truth to this? >> no. i don't think so. first of all, whoever came up with the idea of telling your players you couldn't have sex in rio de janeiro for a month is out of his mind. it will hurt them. i've been to rio and been involved in some of this. i can tell you, some of the most beautiful women in the world, number one. number two, what is that going to do? testosterone gets built up, that will help you be better sockser player? no you will be thrown out because you punch some dude out. >> wow.

>> this is credit ridiculous. maybe this guy, maybe he is a catholic previously or all i know. it doesn't make any sense to me. i wouldn't make that, i doesn't make that team for a minute with those restrictions. i couldn't make it anyway but with that, forget about it. >> once reported that muhammad ali refrained from sex for six weeks leading up to a major fight. for some athletes see some truth. >> i'm not a male athlete and i will leave it to professionals to make that decision and leave it to bob because he seems like he is a professional. >> i had professional athletes tell me they do this, they do it for couple reasons. one, it has to do with disaction women can put in their lives. we don't want to be thinking about relationships. you're not talking about relationships. >> no. put it this way, ver short-term relationships. >> right. but the other issue is physicality of it. like working out before the workout. that is how athletes put it to me before. so you save everything you've got for the upcoming battle, for the upcoming game. >> kirsten,

"national geographic" dud a study on this and turned out there was no diminished effect on athlete prior to an event. >> this sounds like superstition, like "bull durham.." maybe if i wear the lucky socks i win the game. what is up with the beef? what does beef do? >> more than that what is acrobat i can sex mean? that's what i want to know. acrobatic section. i could give me my view, i do know from my standpoint. >> please don't. >> what is he talking about, going to be -- >> okay. did i tell you he was excited about that topic. guns and calls for more gun laws. one of the hottest debates in america. do we need to spend $60 million in taxpayer money on it studying gun violence of the latest push by democrats being called, pure politics. warning senate majority leader harry reid has for republicans on immigration. ask on it or risk what another

♪. >> welcome back to "outnumbered." developing now on the hill. democrats want 60 million of your tax dollars to study gun violence saying it is time we

study the issue like the public health crisis that it is. nra is calling the proposed study nothing but quote, junk science, designed to further the dems political agenda. so first off, we should note that president obama ordered a similar study last year from the cdc the cdc produced the study. it didn't get a lot of attention. why? because the study showed more gun laws actually don't reduce crime. came from the cdc. media ignored it because didn't fall in line with their agenda. second we should point out homicide have been cut in half since 1992. crime is down. mass shootings have also gone down in the past decade. so why are we going to spend, sandra, $60 million studying the same thing we studied last year when we're seeing the results of gun crime going down already? >> this is 17-year ban on studies, right, katy? if they can find any way to fit this into the political agenda this time they will certainly use it.

by the way adding to your statistics look at cities in the united states that have the most gun laws, chicago, for example, they have the highest rates of gun violence. but katy, this goes back to the point that guns don't kill people, people kill people. so to go and pay $60 million, but you say that, what is driving those people to kill? that is what should being studied. >> drugs. >> that should be studied. >> it is interesting because drugs actually i think would fall better under cdc guidelines for what it ought to be researching. >> that is why chicago has a high crime rate because they have two drug gangs fighting over turf. that is why you have so many dead people. >> who would you rather run into, a person mentally unstable holding a knife or person who is mentally unstable holding a gun? neither would be your choice -- >> they can do a lot of damage with knife. >> do you want, those are only choices do you want them walking into a school with a knife or a gun? many could an, sandra, you have a child, easy answer.

>> guy walked into school not long ago and managed to stab a young kid. managed to stab 20 people. >> i'm talking about that -- >> that is what you're talking about. >> i'm thinking about mass murderer in a second. that is what i'm talking about. >> if someone caulk walked into this room with knife or gun, we have nothing, what are we supposed to be doing? would you have something to defend yourself. the point is, cdc, going back to the study is going to study something they just recently studied to try and push this political agenda we need more gun laws to combat gun violence we've seen from the government's own reports more gun laws from the cdc don't -- >> studies so bogus and why isn't nra trying to stop them? >> what do you mean, bogus? she cited last study that was done -- >> 17-year ban on studies. >> that is not my question, sandra. why is was there a 17-year ban on studies? >> because nra controls most of the people that go through the

house. >> if there is nothing to see here. >> for nra to say junk science. the nra is junk to begin with? >> why? >> because if it were up to these guys you could have bazooka in your backyard. >> that is not true. >> yes it is true. running for rights of what. to own a gun? >> gun down schoolchildren? >> i'm not against owning guns. idea of carrying guns, nra wants everybody to carry guns, wherever you want, bars churches, wherever you want to do that. that is idea -- >> get back to issue of study which is, they want to treat gun ownership and gun violence as a, as a public health problem. >> right. >> it is. >> that is not appropriate considering 99% of the gun owners don't use their guns inappropriately. it is not a health issue. it is an issue of crime and criminality. for the government somehow act using a firearm correctly or they need to study 24 issue if there is a health problem there, i think very slippery slope. >> chosen the centers for

disease control and prevention to look at this. also interesting, as we've been pointing out the studies have not turned up anything new with regard how dangerous a gun might be versus how dangerous a person carrying any other kind of weapon would be. >> who is more dangerous, a person with a gun or person with a, with a -- >> gun law, do not cure the problem. in fact they make it worse as pointed out in city of chicago. if somebody will use gun to commit violence they will get ahold of gun to commit violence. gun laws they're implementing only strip us of our rights. >> listing this ban at the time, kind of gets back to the politics of issue with you and bob, kirsten, the big question, why now? why did he do this now? and is it really to fit into a narrative that the democrats really want -- >> first of all -- >> even if it doesn't fit -- >> i understand. >> try to wedge it. do it again. do it again until we find what we need. >> one reasons gun violence is

down, most people are locked up, number one. >> that is not true. >> mass shootings increased, not decreased. >> that is not true either. >> national rifle association wants to control narrative on guns. they always have. there are 1600 kids who were killed -- >> sounds like democrats want to control the narrative. >> as much as we possibly can. as much as we possibly can. >> let him finish. >> listen 1600 kids were killed last year in their homes because nobody locked their guns up. now the nra is been against gun lucks. now what they do, they have nothing else to do, wayne laperriere, nothing to do this weekend, ought to go to a child's funeral because he has blood on his hands. >> no he didn't. that is as sin nine to make that statement. >> make a blanket statement that nobody locks their guns up is irresponsible. >> i said not everybody locks them up. >> even if responsible gun owners, only talk as couple. >> i want to remind everybody though that issue is protected by constitution. you can go around circles.

>> we have unconstitutional protections -- >> why punish 100 million gun owners in country for tiny few in chicago, in new york city, in l.a. those are the people who are the problem. not the rest of the country. >> they're not saying that though. >> interesting one of the greatest cities having a problem with this issue as sandra pointed out, is the home city of the president of the united states right know. >> that is why he so concerned about it. >> those true european cities don't allow guns the murder rate is virtually nonexistent. >> and violent crime is double ours. >> come on. >> we may come back to it. >> i hope so. anytime i can talk about nra and dump on them. more happier. i know you will send it out there fine. i still think the nra sucks an have from the beginning. >> we'll move on but we are going to stay with politics though. it is the race that everybody is talking about at this point. one playing out between senator mitch mcconnell of kentucky and woman who wants his job. she is using her gender to win points.

>> well it is a race already taking center stage in the upcoming midterms which the most money has been spent out of any race in the country. some say $100 million could be spent before election day. we're talking about kentucky where incumbent republican senator mitch mcconnell is facing off against alison lundergan grimes. one weapon she is using in her quest to take down the senate minority leader? her gender. grimes repeatedly using the same phrase of everywhere she goes, including when she won the primary this week. >> i'm not an empty dress. i'm not a rubber stamp. i'm not a cheerleader. i'm a strong kentucky woman who is independent thinker who is when i'm kentucky's next united states senator, the dec

make will be what is best for the people of commonwealth of kentucky, not partisan interests. >> so, kirsten we saw in 2012 democrats used gender as a huge issue and i think a little bit some of russ tired of it. it worked but do you think it will be successful? >> it is a successful strategy for democrats because women are prime voters for them and they need to get them as excited as possible to get them out. so i think it is very smart for her. look, mitch mcconnell in a red state is going to be hard, he will be hard to beat but this would be the right strategy. i don't know what bob thinks. i feel she is also, when she says these things she is referencing things about her. she is taking something like a republican strategist said about her and empty dress and using it now. turning it around on them. >> i agree with you. i've done that state politically, four or five times. there is portions of kentucky still that have problems with women in statewide candidates. so a good defense in way.

it also defends her against further attacks by mcconnell. there could be no more boring candidate in the world than mitch mcconnell. i mean, some minute next sales plummet when this guy talks. if she needs to shake it up i think she is doing a good job. like hillary clinton, if she runs for president, there will be a percentage, one or two woman who would otherwise vote republican would vote for her and i would use everything she is. >> i think grimes has a good shot, sandra. the kentucky senate race is on radar of a lot of democratic strategists a lost money will be poured into that. $100 million for one race. do you think it will be effective? >> i tell you i read the words she said i'm not a empty dress, not cheerleader, rubberstamp and saw her say it. she delivered very strong remarks there. i fell like, i didn't like the message when i read it. i felt it was focus on negative.

i'm not an empty dress. i didn't get it. i didn't like that message. i don't know, bob, your the expert here, should always campaign on positive. i think that was a little too much focus on negative. >> you campaign on what your assets are, trying to maximize assets an minimize your defects and maximize your opponents defects and minimize his assets. in this case it fits well with mcconnell. i tell you they will use this against her, two weeks before the election, start to see it. see calls and letters and they will make references to a woman could she really handle the job, blah, blah. i think it is very effective strategy particularly against mitch mcconnell. >> you know what, i think any woman could use this, only 18% of our members of congress are woman. >> okay. >> i'm okay however they get the message out there. you could say if you don't like things are going maybe because women don't have big enough voice. >> if were up to me 100% would be women. seriously. >> we know that we like that ba

you. >> i'm serious. >> i will read this off my blackberry because i want to make sure we get every detail here. this is coming from our producers in washington, d.c. who watching this story. michigan election officials now confirmed a decision to keep long-time detroit congressman john conyers off the august primary ballot. he is in his0s now. he is a fixture in congress. maybe one of the things that people like or don't like about him but right now apparently the secretary of state's office is saying that it found problems with his nominating petitions. and, they say the democrats nominating petitions, these are their words, not figuring out how that actually worked. conyers is required to file signatures from at least 1,000 voters in his district and there are questions about that. want to get a quick response. katy, let's start with you. >> i think it is amazing. proves he is way too comfortable in congress and didn't think he had to work to get back in. he is out now.

>> what a fixture in congress but for the democrat party. >> very hard not to get your petitions done, right? >> somebody probably, this is classic, just before the petitions were due, somebody said, hey, wait a minute, we're supposed to have petitions in. uncle harry and aunt mary sign same petitions. i've done this before, sign different names of same petition and you turn them in. i'm sure they found a little bit of questionable signatures in there. and too bad because conyers has been around a long time. i'm shocked. you don't make mistakes like that. >> now they're saying he could still get in on write-in campaign. we'll see what turns out. that is breaking news in the world of politics right now. also to other news. more wildfires burning out of the control in the west. this has been a vicious early season for them so far. forcing thousands of people out of their homes at this point. firefighters are having such a tough time. we'll take a look what is their biggest problem out there. and what's wrong with dropping a few f-bombs?

grow up. even i wouldn't use the "f" word that much in a paragraph. >> also teaches children how not to behave and you hope they get that message. but it puts such an emphasis on winning. that is just dangerous message. >> oh, i have no problem with the emphasis on winning. i like the competitive spirit but i don't think that, bob, for a young boys, i don't think this sets a very good example because you certainly can't graduate high school, go to college and go out to the work world and use language like this when you get upset at the office. >> i agree. >> i do. >> it is coaching, right? maybe because it was high school it a little worse. what i don't like about it, you don't play for me like that, when you're on a team, you don't play for the coach, you play for the team. that is my issue with it. maybe i could not have discussed as much whatever. >> more recalls being recalled. the issue is not gm. issue with hundred of thousands of toyota minivans.
