it's going to be a sflipive type of discussion but no fess hick expiration. >> you've to done the spending and get this thick back nag. all i know is when i wassing in -- the party in power always has a certain view and it's always different when not in power, that in 2006 it was a big discussion about raising the debt ceiling under w. from 8.2 to 9 trillion. to think right now that 16.4 is in the rear view mirror with 22 trillion most likely the next stop, this is heart attack type information. >> it is shameful and unforgivable, rick, i couldn't agree with you more. >> i was going to say, keith springer, do you invest on headlines or look longer term, and how in the world can you look longer term with all the noise going on right now? >> hit it right on the head. right now we're only setting ourselves up for pain for two reasons. one is the market has been incredibly resilient, going up with bad news. if there was any good news, we'd hear about it. wouldn't keep good news a secret. i think people are buying ahead and bight rumor and selling the news if we have a deal and if we don't have

the president tapped john kerry to succeed hick as secretary of state. >> that didn't happen?ry proud to announce my choice for america's next secretary of state john kerry. in a sense john's entire life has prepared him for this role. >> all right. so no big surprise. he's between front-runner since ambassador rice pulled her name out of the running. that's not the only political shakeup going down. the story that comes out of the story of secretary of state, john kerry's seat will be open. will scott brown run. he put out a statement saying he would support an assault weapons ban. and politico shows him up significantly by 20 points on the top for democratic contenders members of the house in massachusetts. members of congress for massachusetts. but i would say this. scott brown benefits from a little bit of, he's got very proud statewide name recognition, he's been out there. people liked him although they re-elected elizabeth warren. most challenging him don't have a strong name recognition. i would caution reading too much into these polls right now. it's still so early.

they can't bash or go after hick even though she's secretary of state.ect responsibility for what happened in benghazi falls under the purview of hillary clinton. susan rice is irrelevant. this is about setting up a narrative for the next four wears to go after hillary clinton in four years. that's what this is all about. >> but so if john kerry were to be nominated and as so many people on the right indicated would easily ascend to that position, there has been speculation that that would open up his senate seat, maybe scott brown could swoop in. you say that's not a possibility. >> no. i think it's a possibility because this is politics and that would be special election. but what i'm saying is that we have to look at -- we have to look at m and a. the president, again, won by almost 25 points. brown lost by eight points to elizabeth warren a servir taurl unknown in the state having already been there for two years. it's not so much kerry's seat is in danger. if john kerry is nominated to be secretary of state or secretary of anything do i think democr
