do you agree, joe? >> i would agree and i would say that people have been saying this is a fed-fueled rally for quite some time and haven't really been giving this economy the credits due. i think the economy is on much better footing that an most people would give it credit for. we've even improvement in the housing data. jobs are starting to improve or getting consumer sentiment data becoming better than expected. overall for quite some time we've seen an improving economy people have not been giving credit for. just now you're starting to see the data catch up to the ssrong market. liz: joe, that's a good point. you saw jpmorgan's analyst throw in a little towel, a little hand towel because they have been pretty bullish but they changed their s&p year-end target. it had been 1650. they have now changed it to 1715. that is really a major, move, is it not, see the number 17 in front of the entire attempted sort of price target here for the s&p? >> well, it seems like it but we're above 1650 now. so the

remember when joe and i got off to a rough start. joe is a stand up guy and he's become one of my best friends. he's just outstanding. i love it when commissioners are able to sit here for a couple of years and a lot of commissioners get a better understanding day in and day out and probably a little bit more sympathetic and people like myself, we've dedicated our lives to it. i have no regrets. i'm very happy. i have nothing to complain about. i do want to thank the commission. i think he's been very fair and very evenhanded and with greg as our chief, we are in a better area because of our stability. you are a big part of that as of the chief and mayor and city government. thank you, i'm tired and ready to go. like somebody said i'm the kind of tired that sleep doesn't help. i will have to do something else, maybe a pro golfer. joyce, thank you. you have been fun, you have been good to work with. we argue sometimes but you have been a fair person. i want to thank you. marty brought me in here on a false bill of goods. thank you so

that's what joe said, i think joe may have used the word over the weekend, nixonian. >> yeah. >> and rightly so. but what -- joe's right. the test of whether it truly is nixonian is yet to be seen. what we know about the white house. let me tell you one other thing, chris. i was just down in kentucky over the weekend where mitch mcconnell is running for election. no democrat wants to challenge him. they can't get anybody in the ring against mitch mcconnell. this plays into kentuckians resentment of government. they're taking up the guns. it's the evil irs. it's the revenuers and all that stuff. you hand that to mitch mcconnell, it's an extra 50,000 votes in rural kentucky. it just is. >> so the president, what can the president do, joe, right now, to meet this concern? i think it's a big one. i think this has got some legs. what does he do about the fact he's got, perhaps, bureaucrats, perhaps somebody at the high level of bureaucracy of the irs knew about this two years ago and had to flak it? remember they were denying it a year later after they knew about it in '12. knew about it
