you have adam smith on regulation. when the regulation is in support of the workmen, it is always and equitable. yeah, that's shocking. it is. just to give you a bit of a flavor of of the way adam smith has gotten distorted over time. george stigler, another university of chicago econ chemist who got a nobel prize again, came out with an addition of adam smith, a shortened version where they all that kind it the pure version of what he wished adam smith said. but it was very different from what adam smith had actually said. so it is quite remarkable. yet you're laughing, but it's not really laughable because it it it is what. has indoctrinated. mm hmm. has become the right of many people on the right. so going back your question, my own research, which which i got the nobel prize was in part about what happens, how do we economies work when is imperfect information. and particularly when i called asymmetry information which is just the situation where some know something that someone else doesn't, which is always. and

first from adam smith, the top democrat on the house armed services committee who called on president to abandon his re-election efforts. congressman smith joins now. thanks for being with us. you say that president biden should exit the race. why? is it due to his ability to beth in >> the two most compelling reasons. number one, i don't believe the president is an effective messenger at this point. that's the shame of it. we have a great message. i think the president's done a good job the last few years. when you could look at where the economy was when he came in. he's managed that in a way that has put us in a better position than any other country in the world coming out of covid. he passed the infrastructure bill. he passed the inflation reduction act. he's pulled together this coalition that has helped us, you know, stop putin from take over ukraine. but what we saw on the debate and what we've seen since then and also in some instances before that, he is not an ef effective messenger for that. and he has healthcare concerns. you saw that at the white house press conference to

adam smith said he could no longer articulately make his case to the american people.ghting for his political life, including a number meeting with sir keir starmer, he will do another live paris conference and that will be another make or break moment for his campaign. —— press conference. i spoke to natalie andrews, a us congressional reporter for the wall streetjournal and asked her if the divisions over president biden�*s leadership can last until november. you have several democrats who have put out statements today or told reporters that they need to get online, thatjoe biden has won the primaries, he's their guy. he wasn't challenged in the primaries that made for a wholesome debate at the time, some lawmakers feel like there was maybe a little bit of a cover—up. they felt like they couldn't understand biden �*s condition until the debate so they couldn't have made a good since decision several months ago until they saw him. it's going to be tricky or the democratic convention is in mid august and that's when joe august and that's whenjoe biden would august and

smith's is a good example and yes, adam smith is ranking on armed services. it's a pretty senior place, but he's not leadership. leadership and if any of the big four go on biden, he's got a very real political problem. he already has a real political problem, but that gets existential immediately and it's part of why there was not really playing offense right now, except it's a four corners delay of game offense. so he had a bad debate. it's eight days for him to be in front of a camera. he called in today that doesn't really count the the press conference is going to be six days after the bad interview. he's trying to play this clock out. so the time runs out and then democrats say, well, there's nothing we can do at this point. now, it's too late. >> we're just hearing from our reporting coming in literally right now about this meeting. is there was about 30 minutes long with the congressional black caucus. we're told that he preserved by didn't get any pushback from those lawmakers. not a surprise because we saw them going into it and being pretty united

the anniversary we're celebrating was also the year that adam smith published the wealth of nations, a book that came to be known as the definitive early account of the principles and character of the market economy. and so we are approaching the 250th anniversary of the declaration and of the wealth of nations, which may be a fortuitous coincidence or maybe, as the marxists used to say, there's no such thing as a coincidence. and the two really are intertwined by much more than chance. we're going to think about that, and we'll think about the economic dimensions of the american founding. with the help of five great scholars of the subject today from different fields. each of them looking at the question from a particular angle. each is producing an essay for a volume on this subject, and so we'll speak a little bit about the arguments of that piece, and then they will engage in conversation with each other and with all of you. we'll do that in two panels. the first will be moderated by my colleague adam white and will feature deirdre mccloskey chris thomas and richard epstein and t

we have the head of the intel, jim himes, the head of armed services adam smith, as well as adam schiffhink that is quite telling. these are all people who represent blue districts. there is not really a reason for them, it is not like they are in a frontline district or one where they have to appeal to more republicans. they are doing it from an informed place, and a sincere place, concern about the country and the party. and i look at the poll numbers and i think, it was going to be a difficult race. but when you have those numbers showing that your base is not supportive of your candidacy, i think it becomes an impossible race. sumi: does this look for republicans? imagine the strategy here is to lead democrats fight among themselves? rodney: it looks like what democrats have enjoyed about republicans for decades. we are sitting back, and popping popcorn. this adam schiff statement is a big deal. i did serve with adam. we know adam. we know adam well. i don't think adam is doing this because of just where donald trump is in the race now. i think adam is looking at this race and it ha

congressman adam smith said in a statement biden was no longer able to articulate his case for a secondatement reads in part, the american people made it clear they do not see him as a credible candidate to serve four more years as president. since the debate the president has not seriously addressed these concerns. this is unacceptable. the stakes are too high. donald trump and maga extremism pose an existential threat to our nation and we need to be in the strongest position to win this election. congressman smith went on to say he would still back president biden if he remains the nominee. earlier monday joe biden urged the democratic party to unite behind his candidacy saying he was their best chance at defeating trump in november. item wrote a letter to democratic lawmakers saying he was running the race to the end. in response to further calls over the weekend by fellow democrats for the president to end his reelection run. mr. biden addressed their concerns directly saying he was not blind to them. he also mentioned how he had won the primaries fairly, questioning if those callin
