controversial piece pieces of legislation really mean for our internet freedoms to discuss this and more john simpson privacy project director with consumer watchdog joins us now welcome john nice to have you here in this video so john congress you know a lot of older guys maybe didn't grow up whether we're with the internet and i'm one of those. but it is the young people you know they do go. with the internet so is it possible that congress is out of touch with with cyber the cyber world i think congress is is desperately trying to catch up and trying to do the right thing in a lot of places but there are all sorts of pitfalls and one of the biggest ones i think is when. things are done in the name of security which really end up perhaps invading your privacy in ways that are inappropriate and you know we see controversial bills aiming to tackle that you know we see bills like like sopa like says some more the list goes on and every time there is a backlash from online activists so why do they keep pushing for legislation like this well i mean i think legislators see their job is to legislate and s

john boehner. so had the president done that h the president adopted simpson/bowles, had he put forth his own tax reform bill, we would not be in this problem as a country and he wouldn't be in this problem in toefrms re-election. >> atlanta mayor kasim reed, would you explain to me why president obama has not embraced and pushed simpson/bowles, i got erskine bowles to come on and talk about it. this would have been a perfect thing for him to do. >> larry, you know there are a number of elements -- i think that the folks who are on are having one of these campaigns of amnesia. it was the republican party and the leadership in congress that took our country to the verge of a fiscal cliff and caused our bond rating to be downgraded for the first time in the history of the country. the president was working tirelessly. vice president joe biden worked tirelessly to get a deal done. john boehner couldn't sell it. and everybody knows it. that's where we were. >> that's just incorrect. >> the question about simpson/bowles. i can answer that question. simpson/bowles is a plan, it rais raises, enshrines obama-ca

he eventually did come out for a simpson-bowles type solution when he and john boehner came this closeal, but he was slow, and initial leadership may have helped. >> reporter: now simpson-bowles, of course, the president's own deficit commission, and in the end, he didn't endorse it. i think ed rendell's point was this was something the president had within his grasp and let it slip out, and that's going to be one of the issues that the president will be fighting it out with republican mitt romney. remember, in 2008 the president promised he'd cut the deficit in half during his first term. that has nod happened. jon: thankfully, no wusses in the white house press corps. [laughter] >> reporter: none here. you guys are both pretty tough. jon: we try to be. jenna: that was you on camera. there was not even a two shot there. jon: you're the triathlete girl. woman. [laughter] jenna: governor mitt romney is wrapping up his five-day bus tour of swing states, and he's wrapping up in the state of michigan where the presidential nominee was raised, where his father served as a popular governor a

this campaigning, go to the white house and make a deal with john boehner, use some kind of budget deficit reduction, if it has to be simpsonh, whatever, show the people you're taking constructive steps. that's what clinton is trying to tell obama. that's what's doing him, and he will not listen to clinton. you take it from there. >> but it goes beyond that, the president only misspoke and he said out loud what he honestly believes. that is he is fine with a slow growth economy, as long as the government continuing to grow. he said it out loud. he said the states around america required to hundred within balanced budgets have laid off too many people. they have done it, because they're spending within their means, the one thing obama and the congress and the u.s. government have not been able to do, live within your means, and his suggestion is the congress needs to take a shovel and start shoveling out borrowed money to the states to hire more employees they can't afford to have on the payroll. >> two things, first of all, it's a crazy thing that happens in this town. 1,000 times in a row the president says what he always

simpson bulls. we have done this dance with the president many times. it was the republicans that passed the budget, john, in congress two years in a row and the president didn't want anything to do with it. they went off and put ads on television showing paul ryan throwing grandmother over the cliff. he has been playing politics, not willing to leave. this isn't good news for anybody in this country. as chairman of the rnc, this is not something that's good for anybody. it is not good for our country. i think ultimately, the way i would frame where we are today is what we have been saying, just simply this, americans are disappointed that we have a president that didn't follow through on his promises. this is not where anyone wants to be. no one relishes in this. but, we do need to get back to business in providing some certainty in the marketplace. the things that mitt romney is willing to do that this president is not is to lead this country. it is not that complicated. i think this president is in love with campaigning. he is pretty good at it. he missed his opportunities to lead. here we are today i

simpson defense team look minuscule. they'll drain it, and then the government said listen, you promise never to do it again and we'll make this go away. >> johnmorgan's recent losses could be close to $9 billion, yet we see jamie dinon still the ceo and sits on the federal reserve bank in new york. andare these wall street executives just protecting themselves like when we make oil companies responsible for monitoring their own pollution? >> yes exactly. that's been the banks' argument all along when it comes to the volcker rule to keep them from acting like a hedge fund and engaging in a risky trade. they say the regulators would never understand it, just let us handle it. we won't lose the money. we will manage it accordingly. it shows that they will lose money. they can't manage the risk and perhaps the government should step in. >> john: that brings us to glass-steagall. they're calling for the separation of retail banking from investment banking which is the idea behind the glass-steagall of 1933. it's the one thing i would like all americans to know about and understand when we repealed glass-steagall investment banks became casinos and
