NEIL CAVUTO, HOST OF "YOUR WORLD": All right, I don't know about you, but I've had it. And I have always wondered do you ever wish you had a buzzer, a buzzer, something like this...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
CAVUTO: ... every time when you heard a politician bluster? Democrat or Republican, they say something stupid, buzzer.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
CAVUTO: So, they whine about cuts, we just pick up this buzzer...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
CAVUTO: ... and just buzz.
But we -- we have this buzzer, as you've already heard. And this is how it's going to work. I'm going to use it constantly now. Every time someone says something over the top, we're going to...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
CAVUTO: ... pound the buzzer down.
Ready? Here we go.

What happens is, you say something emotional and over the top -- both sides do it -- that has nothing to do with the reality. They know it has nothing to do with the reality. They know the things they are citing have nothing to do with reality. And nothing gets done.
And just today, just today, we were hearing more blustering as the votes over the cutting were getting closer. This is just today.

SEN. HARRY REID, MAJORITY LEADER, D-NEV.: Republicans tried to use the budget to kick little boys and girls out of pre-kindergarten programs.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)

(BUZZER SOUNDS)
VAN HOLLEN: ... the safety net for seniors in nursing homes...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
VAN HOLLEN: ... and assisted living facilities...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
VAN HOLLEN: ... as well as low-income kids and individuals with disabilities.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
CAVUTO: OK.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
How can you advance the ball if -- if you do that kind stuff? How is any politician ever going to try to be bold, if he or she knows coming out the gate they're going to be ripped apart?
Well, we are going to try to buzz them before they are.
