neil: coming up the white house talking to wisconsin governor scott walker about how he broke up the government unions in the badger state. why that talk could bring down neil: the white house is talking to wisconsin's republican governor scott walker about how he took on public unions and his state and won. now, a lot of folks say that he weakened the collective bargaining power to save taxpayers money. no matter where you stand on this, charles, you say if we take it nationwide, it would save taxpayers everywhere a lot of money. >> i think it would. i think there's a reason why public sector unions are hanging in there in the private sector they've all but disappeared. it's a honey pot. it's a self-serving money machine at the expense of taxpayers. they cut themselves these amazing deals, and they're allowed to represent themselves in a way that seems really dumb in many ways. so if they can replicate the success that walker had in wisconsin, i think taxpayers would save a lot of money. >> it's not just about saving money, though. the kids in wisconsin are getting a better educatio

governor scott walker got a standing ovation.l, he should get a standing o and then some because he and his family were under attack when he took on the union establishment. and he did so for the people of wisconsin. and he is a great brand ambassador by showing how conservative ideas and policies can help citizens in wisconsin, and it is something that should be replicated across the country. he faced tremendous opposition by taking on the union. what did he talk about today? do what you said that you were going to do when you're running as a politician. go bold or go home. work politically on policies -- policy fronts turkey talk about how common sense conservatism reforms work. how these reforms work. this date of wisconsin has the lowest long-term budget, long-term debt and a positive budget. this is all from his effort being governor of wisconsin. he also said, talked about the importance of empowering people, getting people to work in wisconsin and not to depend on government. and then we had dan schneider. he talked about
