Mark Williams has seen it all he is a co chair of the tea party's rising need joins us from the last city which is Orlando Florida morning mark. Good morning -- at the Baxter showed a few days in the and the forty cities. Yeah that's a lot of those are a lot of miles market. You know a lot has been made and that thousands and in some cases hundreds of people who showed up by the city to city. -- ideologically politically who has it was a Republicans who was it independence was it Democrats who who showed up. All of the of."
" I mean I would ask the crowds sometime you -- I would ask the Democrats in the crowd at the dancing queen Barney Frank really represented -- elected Democrats are good now. So that people are feeling that number one both parties have been hijacked by professionals who don't represent the interest of of the constituencies. And lots of people are bolting parties. But now it's something something is happening instead of just -- the party's.
