roi >> i think the sequestration the worst aspect of the sequestration is not the overall cut because we know we need to trim spending and change the trajectory going forward ahead. predominantly entitlement. without that i don't think we will get the budget under control and some point we will be downgraded by the other agencies and of some point we will start to see interest rate increases that the people that hold their debt to around the world less interested in holding it with very low interest rates. all of those will affect the u.s. economy. so that having been said when i look at the sequestration i don't look at the cuts as really impacting the economy in a negative way. they are not keen to help growth in the short term, but they have offsetting factors which mitigate the negative. the problem with sequestration is the way the cuts will take place because what we tell the congressman and the senators that's why we send them here we send them to spend money. that's absolutely what we do because we expect them to provide public goods, infrastructure, education, national defens

but i want to play for everybody what republican senator roy blunt had to say this morning with our chuckthe daily rundown" . >> i'm focusing my efforts on what we can do in the mental health area, what we can do in sharing information among law enforcement and security agencies. >> so is it the scene that the republican argument about gun control, the focus still remains on everything but guns. everything on the periphery. how much do you think the president is going to be able to push when the gun control tour begins next week? is it really the push to change hearts and minds of what we hear like of senator blunt's? >> yes, the underlying strategy for folks who don't want to pass any further gun control is to not talk about gun control. and that's an porchlt point, right? it isn't to oppose gun control. certainly isn't to oppose extremely popular things like background checks. it is to try to move the conversation over to maybe arming school guards, mental health. more so i think than the president's bully pulpit work is going to be important here. it's actually going to be the congress

i think right now roy blount, the republican announced against him today, that was a possibility. so it looks more and more like a party-line vote. >> woodruff: so the other attention that got a lot of attention this week was-- the other hearing that got a lot was on gun violence. very poignant testimony from gabrielle giffords, the former congresswoman. and then the nra represented by some pretty remarkable pushback from wayne la pierre and some other folks, does this change, i mean where are we in the debate over what's going to happen about guns? i mean has it moved, david? >> well, in terms of the theatre of the hearings, giffords and the people who want more gun control certainly dominated. i still think the nra is weirdly inept. i assume they know what they are doing, this is their business. but they are no projected at least to me. and having said that, know, my sense is, and it's just a vague atmospheric sense that a lot of the oomph has gone out of the president's initiative, what biden is doing. he is up there working hard but it's very hard for members of congress to vo
