[laughter] did you vote for the guy who eventually got the gig, pope francis. >> well, i can't say that. >> stephen: why not? >> we can't say who we voted for. >> stephen: so you're saying it's not unanimous. >> but i'm glad he got it. i think we did a good job, don't you?

>> you can get a ouija board and not figure that out.t control a great extent of what congress does. dagen: speaking of washington, we had that report earlier about larry summers. he has to make it to the approval process. how important do you think that is in the next six months about how the market reacts? >> the world liens on monetary policy has been so great as of late. they lean on the bed to try to control inflation, to try to control the economic policy and they cannot do it. the economy is just sitting there like a pressure cooker. sooner or later, inflation will get out. whether it is larry summers -- listen, they might as well get dominique strauss kahn over year and let him run it. spew forth those our options? i will not say anything about their views on women or make any connection between those two. >> they both have their problems with shooting off their mouse. dagen: wayne, it is great to see you. thank you. connell: dominique strauss kahn has found a new job. he will serve as an economic advisor. more problems await him
