so, cue the partisan bickering. shortly after the president's speech right here on cnn, republican senator john mccain pointed the finger at the obama administration for why the united states is currently facing this crisis. the result, a heated exchange with former white house press secretary turned cnn contribut r contributor, jay carney. >> lindsey graham and i, we were in baghdad, they wanted a residual force. the president has never made a statement during that or after that he wanted a residual force left behind. the iraqis were ready to go. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff testified before the senate armed services committee that the number cascaded down to 3,500. that was not sufficient to do anything but to defend themselves. and you, in your role as a spokesperson, bragged about the fact that the last american combat troop had left iraq. if we had left a residual force, the situation would not be what it is today. and there would be a lot more -- >> senator, i can posit with great respect for you

i promise not to get too bogged down in chief political bickering, but continue to speak out folks ith good solutions. in the interests of time let's call this man academic director of the martin institute at the university of toronto. you wrote a fascinating piece on the rise in what you call the likely fall of the talent economy. now first of all, what do you mean by the talent economy? >> i mean an economy now more dominated by folks who have to demonstrate independent judgment and decision-making in their job, and that's about a third of americans now. two times up from what it was 50 years ago. and those folks are driving the fortunes of companies, and extracting more and more and more of the value out of the economy, and the rest of the economy is -- is not moving ahead, so the tricky thing is talent is great. it's great to have it, but there needs to be some kind of a balance between the talent, especially the highest-end talent gets and everybody else. >> interest language, you said exacting value out of the economy as opposed to creating value. some would argue, i'm sure lar

as washington bickers, our competitors are moving out -- pulling out every imaginable step to capitalize on the booming energy economy. it's time to think about green energy policy to allow taos compete more globally. a recent article in the "new york times" over the weekend pointed out how far ahead our european friends are. germany will soon be getting 30% of their power from renewable sources. in contrast new york 2013, renewable sources of energy accounted for only about 10% in the united states energy consumption and 13% of electricity generation. are we any less capable than germany of harnessing the energy from the wind and the sun? i believe, madam speaker, we are not. we are not less capable. but right now, we might be less willing. step one in addressing climate change is admitting that it's a problem. too often in washington, we see this false choice. this debate in a if we accept climate change as a problem, then it's going to kill jobs and we should do, therefore, nothing about it. but if we don't accept climate change as a problem, we'll never be singing off the same sheet

minutes - afghanistan's rival presidential candidates sign a power sharing deal after months of bickering over election results. >>> publicity stunt

the sectors that have problems get de-rated viciously, when you have growth, those sectors become bicker. >> it's brian kelly. tomorrow we have ecb and europe's banks fund a lot of the emerging markets, what's your view if the ecb does qe or hints on that, how will that impact emerging market stocks? >> well, i show, i'm a bit of a cynic on qement qe 2, qe 3 were very poor performance merging market equities him i'm not sure qe is the big story for us. i think where investors are much more concerned is when the fed starts to move short rates. now, with regards to the ecb doing something, then it probably at the margin will be more useful for greece and then turkey, due to their proximity and linkage with the european financial system. >> all right. you have recently upgraded brazil. so you are recommending that investors jump on the rally that's already unfolded? >> yeah. i think there has been a number of important factors for brazil this year. one, the price of borrowing for emerging market companies has been falk the simby yield versus come down. you've had currency strength in brazil

it's like zero-sum bickering between political parties. all we need to do is fix the problem. here's a solution to the problem. let's just do this and not worry about lynching people or figure out the names of the high-frequency traders that of msn embarrassing people on national tv. it's just not necessary. the more that there is the less likely there is a solution because the people perpetrating the problem feel like they have really been exposed. let's just fi fix it. >> host: do you think congress and the sec have the technical ability and knowledge to look at this problem? >> guest: yes, actually to. the question is if the money funneled in the process by people who are making lots of money and the advantages on the exchange is going to overwhelm the debate? what we -- you will see is a fog machine inside congress and the sec. their numbers and data that don't mean very much or false or whatever. but my hunch is that now the problem is exposed and the way it's been exposed, the problem can be dealt with. the regulatory process can do the things it needs to do which isn't

appealed to congress for disability pension, congress did not deliberate so much as bigger -- bigger -- bicker. ensizable block of congressman opposed it, merely because morris supported it. finally, the imposing jordan hobbled in on crutches, personally appealing to congress' sense of decency. even with such a stirring appearance, their petition was only passed by three votes. congress finally appropriated funds to pay off jones' sailors in 1848. doesn't all this sound familiar? is thet thought soldiers, sailors, marines, and their families of the american revolution set the bar for the duty to sacrifice for succeeding generations of americans, so, too, did congress and the public set the example of support the areps as long as no taxes levied for the best weapons, decent wages, or to care for their widows and orphans. or as the press recently reported last week, even enough money for them to feed their loved ones. history still tries to teach us the same lessons. after the war, john kessler, barry's protege, did everything from run a grocery store to for trading with the newington indians be

going to be republicans, they're going to be talking -- >> that's not true -- >> i hear you guys bickering53% of voters tell us that washington will stay the same no matter which one of your sides wins this election. so i guess, mo, what proof is there that if democrats hold the senate they will be able to break washington's dysfunction? >> well, look at the agendas. things that will expand economic opportunity like student loans, like reducing the pay gap. they're talking about issues like benghazi still. they're talking about repealing the affordable care act. they're talking about suing the president of the united states. they're talking about another government shutdown. that's the difference. >> shawn what would republican control of the senate look like? >> el wiwell, republican contro the senate would look like this -- right now, we only control one-half of congress. we've put over 300 bills on reid's desk. things like regulatory reform. all of those things will start to move forward. weem get people back to work. two years of more democrat control is going to look like more dysfunc

don't live in the past but let's learn from the past, updated as necessary, to stop this constant bickering with one another which solves nothing. >> the point of your book has a quote that says the old curmudgeonly uncle ignores at holiday time and someone asks him a question any realize he knows what he is talking about, that is cal thomas. that was a quote from jay leno. people in the best describe u.s. curmudgeonly? >> i tried to change that and leave a. it depends. i called all kinds of things by tolerant open-minded pluralistic academic freedom liberals. name-calling is a way to distract from the argument. i had no political power, not running for office, i had no power over anybody's life. and they have a track record of working and if people want to try them, it is funny because i still remember the songs from high school when i thought, people of my parents's generation were curmudgeonly. if you don't learn it eventually you may have regrets for not learned only. curmudgeon means they'll landing greek and taciturn and all these other things. i hope i am not like that. i'm a pretty

truly they had been bickering over details, sometimes franklin doesn't deliver this speech. he hands it to james wilson. franklin makes the observation which is so true, and members of congress, if you are listening, please heed the wisdom of these words. says, whenever you gather a group of men together for their you gather with them all of their different ideologies, their different interests, their prejudices, and their selfish views. to i ask you, i beg you doubt a little bit your infallibility in this case. many features of this of which i do not approve. but if you can accept a small sense of your own fallibility and a fix your signatures to this document, i guarantee you that in the long run if there are errors, we shall fix them. really was a speech that not only moved delegates to get in a more agreeable frame of mind, but it is a lesson for politicians in time and mario. >> -- and memorial. >> the spirit of liberty is the spirit that is not too sure it is right. that is the real spirit behind the constitution. talk about the other indispensable man. washington, who

the president has a chance wednesday night to erase all the bickering if he can give us a serious, coherentpeech that helps us understand the scale of the threat and if he has a strategy that makes sense. but i think this is way too important as americans to just degenerate into sort of four pinocchios and two pinocchios. this is about the test of the president trying to lead the country in ching is a very mortal threat. >> other news over the weekend, president obama and the white house letting it be known he's not going to issue any of these executive actions on immigration reform until after the november elections. obviously he was getting some pushback from democrats running for office in red states mainly who are worried about what would happen. speaker gingrich, you called that cowardly. but you are an opponent of him using his executive actions in that way? >> no contradiction. i believe it was wrong and uncongressional to do it. but he'd run up to the edge and trumpeted over and over for months he was going to do it. and he he did with syria and iran red lines, he flinched. if you f

for conservative critics, a symbolic whipping girl for political correctness but even as pundits bickered she had has continued to blossom in the popular culture. i have bought tubman mugs, stamps, pins, teeshts -- t-shirts and with my children i travel and find her in cyberspace, certainly there are school websites i encourage you to go online and type in harriet tubman, see the wonderful art work. a favorite image hangs in my study sent to me by the daughter of my editor, debra baker, and lyla's hand-made portrait reminds me of the responsibilities those of us have to future generations, however, harriet tubman's legacy is not for children only. can it be any surprise that there are domestic abuse shelters in the united states which evoke her name, that in canada, where she settled in the 1850's, at york university in ontario they have established the harriet tubman resource center on the african diaspora, that the u.s. park service is now undertaking an important study which will release its findings in an evaluation in 2005 on how we should honor harriet tubman. public statuaries feat

. >> reporter: partisan bickering that has her yearning for 50 years ago.n republicans and democrats joined together for the creation of the wilderness act. lands where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. president lyndon johnson made it the law of the land. >> it was so visionary. it was saying -- people need to have areas where we can be guardians, not gardeners. >> reporter: more than 100 million wilderness acres already. this morning, jewell and the administration have more than 100 wilderness requests in congress. >> there are special places that need additional levels of protection. >> reporter: it's not getting done. >> well, not much is getting done in congress right now. >> reporter: the outdoors have been part of her life since her family immigrated from england when she was 3. >> one of the reasons i took this job was because i wanted to be part of the solution to climate change. >> reporter: she's also an oil and gas engineer. it seems like there's a conflict. continue to bring out oil, gas, and coal, yet we need to cut carbon. how do

. >> meantime, back in washington, some things never change, like the partisan bickering ahead of the president's speech. >> now, all of us underscore something i've been suggesting for some time. the president is a rather reluctant commander in chief. >> president obama has made clear that it's going to take decisive action to destroy the islamic state. there are people here in congress who are taking advice from dick cheney. >> so often president obama responds to crises by announcing all the things that he will not do. there again, we can only hope that pattern ends tonight. our president must understand, we are at war and that we must do what it takes for as long as it takes to win. >> we remember the foreign policy of vice president cheney and others. we know the price we paid for what turned out to be some very questionable, if not wrong decisions. i hope not only democrats but republicans as well will think twice about that advice. we have listened to this man's counsel before and the world did not turn out to be the place he promised us it would be. >> if we learned anything 1
