ron johnson has -- senator ron johnson has an op-ed in the journal, fiscal sanity is not too much to hope for this year. he makes an interesting point about obviously the federal spending but he says one of the reasonable approaches to fix things is just to set a budget cap. go back to the models we saw in government from fiscal 1998 and bring fiscal responsibility back to washington. >> that -- cheryl: bond market would like like that. >> the bond market would love it. you'd have a 10 year yield going under 3%. unfortunately, what he's saying is that we're going to get rid of the budget deficit where we have a government spending of nearly $2 trillion more than what it takes in in terms of taxes. if you were to get rid of the excess of nearly $2 trillion of spending the economy would suffer and the equity market would suffer. you know, as an economist, i'm one of those guys that's guilty of having badly underestimated growth for 2024. when i look back at the reason for that under-estimation, what i conclude is my big mistake is i couldn't see so much government spending and the gove

i think ron johnson, that ron johnson, they're sort of brushing it aside, but i thought i had heard ron from being put off. but there were 5 or 6, jonathan lemire, i think five, six, seven republicans who openly came out and said they certainly would not have pardoned those that beat the hell out of cops. you would hope that would be 53 republicans and every every democrat, especially since most of them were there and feared for their lives. and you go back and you look at what they said on that day. and even in the years later, lindsey graham a couple of years later, saying, you know, if you pardon those guys that committed violent acts, you're only encouraging future political violence. ted cruz, also very clear on this a couple of years ago. >> yeah, we just heard that from congressman raskin a few minutes ago saying this, this is a permission structure for perhaps these people to commit violent crimes again. and we did hear from some republicans in recent days condemning this. we played senator murkowski very strongly earlier today. and she wasn't alone. but that's still in the mino
