host: congressman schweikert?st: look, and i hear coming to georgia is a beautiful part of the country, but think about what you just said. we're trying to have a conversation about the fiscal health of the country and the direction we're going, and somehow the question rolled back to racist tendencies from 50 years ago. and in some ways that should break your heart, because it demonstrates the ability to have an honest conversation about political math, about budgetary math, somehow now turns into in that case racial politics. host: i want to go back to prioritization of the debt, this from the "wall street journal," a recent chart they put out. if the government choose to see pay certain parts of the federal government, other parts of the federal government that they wouldn't be allowed to pay. so if they chose to pay medicare, medicaid, social security, interest on the treasuries, food stamps and educational programs, along with military pay, "the wall street journal" notes that ter we hit that debt ceiling dea

joining us, frank polone and dave schweikert. gentleman, you're tur good friends.ng to apologize from the beginning. we have breaking news from the house. i only have 90 seconds. i apologize to both of you friends. mr. frank polone, what do you make of it? the house is not going to vote. it's pushing it to the senate. what do you want? >> i want the speaker, speaker boehner to bring up a clean resolution and clean debt ceiling extension so we can, you know, open up the government, pay our bills and then, you know, we can negotiate whatever we have to negotiate. i think keeping the government shut and the threat of a default is devastating to the economy and is going to create loss of jobs and a lot of uncertainty in the economy. i don't think it's a good thing. >> dave schweikert, it's not going to be optimal. what mr. pallone just said, a clean bill on the cr and the debt, is that what's going to finally happen in the final vote in the house? >> i don't think so but i think it's going to be something close to that. you saw today we were getting close to a bill whe

schweikert, for five minutes. mr. schweikert: mr. speaker, i request to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. speaker, first, i appreciate the house giving me these five minutes, though it's always dangerous when a member starts walking towards the microphone and they're doing it because something hit their desk and it annoyed them. and so we've been working on something in our office to try an intense frustration i have and that is i believe washington and its embracing of delusional math. look, i've only been here three years, and i've come to the conclusion that the single biggest problem i see is not the right-left continuum but those who own calculators and those who don't, those that live in a world where math actually has a value. i'm right now holding the c.b.o. report, the 2013 long-term budget forecast. and in here -- and yet i've not heard someone else come to this microphone -- is just the beginning of a paragraph that should terrify you. federal debt, as a percentage of g.d.p. in 2038, under the extended baseline is projected to be

"washington journal" each morning on c-spanned at 7:00 eastern. >>> during the coverage of the national book festival, biographer david nasaw spoke about joseph kennedy. >> kennedy couldn't figure out churchill played a mind game with him whether churchill was teasing him or was so drunk that he forgot from the day before that kennedy didn't drink. they disliked one another intensely. but the war was over! there had been intense suffering. church hill said to kennedy; he held out his hand and he said, i'm sorry for your loss. joe junior had died during the war. and churchill was so sincere. he said to churchill, what good was it all? and churchill looked at him, unbelieving world war ii had destroyed -- in churchill's mind hitler, news lee knee and the dictator. it had saved democracy! it h

schweikert: mr. speaker, i request unanimous consent to address the house for five minutes. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. schweikert: mr. speaker, this is one of those moments where you come to the floor, i'm unscripted, and i want to sort of share something from the art that actually has really disturbed me watching this debate over the last few days. i'm from arizona. and i like to say i was -- i am a friend of gabby giffords. i have known her for a very long time. do we all remember three years ago when this house came together, when my media in arizona and media across this country said, whoa, maybe it's time to actually take a step backwards and reflect on our use of language. reflect on our tone. reflect on our civility. and yet look what you have heard over the last two or three days, over this last week. i have a president that got behind the microphones and was literally talking down the stock market. asking why hasn't it gone down? i have one
