when you are talking about the unit system in georgia, in a sense, that is what the electoral college system does. now, the states can divide up their electoral college votes. it does not have to be winner-take-all, but the electoral college is going to stay in the constitution. you might think about what a close election would be like if we had to recount the entire nation as opposed to a single state, which is what the electoral college allows you to get away with. susan: jack is in wilmington, north carolina. caller: hi. i would like to hear some commentary on the practical problem we have run into wherein state legislatures, when redistricting, are slicing and dicing counties. in terms of political efficacy, virtually everybody knows what state they live in and what county they live in. after that, it all becomes a blur. we are changing the lines every 10 years, we are having elections changing the people in office, and the average person doesn't have any idea what state senate district they are in. douglas: i think you are absolutely right, and this goes back to the comment ted m

. ♪ >> the prison systems around the united states have changed radically in the last 20 to 30 years. let me address arizona. 20 years ago, our prison population was about 20,000 people. now our state prison system is over 40. the composition of the prison population has also genetically changed. the vast majority of our prisoners are there for nonviolent offenses. >> the evolution of the prison system, what i saw from the outside being a native, is growing up there was only the arizona state prison. you'd see the prisoners in the community, trustees they would let out during the day to work on prison farms or ranches or in some other regard, cleaning up highways. >> while in prison, the conditions i was subjected to were very bad. there are a lot of guys in there who have high blood pressure or who have medical illnesses coming from the food over the years. i find it appalling that a guy would leave and the next person coming in will receive his old clothes. there is a lack of rehabilitative programs that are going to give a guy a skill or trade, so when they come out they can actual

it's used in every criminal justice system in the united states. and when he left office after going round and round about this subject, secretary ridge said, i have one bit of advice for my successors. that is, use the fingerprint. and i believe he was totally correct in that and still remains the only real system that will work. so let us also be aware that numerous countries across the world including new zealand, singapore, hong kong has been using biometric systems for years. this is something nothing. others do it and we can do it, too. ending this failure has bipartisan support. my subcommittee, the subcommittee on immigration in the national interest, held a hearing on january 20 of this year entitled -- pretty good title i thought -- ytion why is the biometric exit track being system still not in place?" pretty good question. well, during the hearing we had -- we got promises from government officials but no commitment that they would actually complete the system. oh, well we're doing pilot projects and we're considering this and we're wor

on the peninsula, china and russia, today said they wanted the united states to back off the possible plan to put anti- missile defense system. what is your reaction to that. >> the reaction to that is that the united states commitment to south korea's security is rocksolid the republic of korea is a close ally of the united states and that means the united states is prepared to invest resources and keeping them safe. we have seen repeated provocations, particularly particularly in the last few months from north korea bowing to use their military might against our allies. we have begun, there are ready has been a significant commitment of military firepower, and my power by the united states to the defend south korea and the assessment of our military and national security expert is that additional resources could be necessary to ensure the safety and security of the republic of korea. that's why the united states has a engaged in conversations with our south korean allies about deploying what is called a fad battery, this is an anti- ballistic missile system that would enhance our allies security. those discussions are ongo

we have a corrupt system of campaign finance in america. citizens united opened the flood gates to a waterfall of bad, dirty money into our system -- >> even before that, right? >> bernie sanders has rejected it and is running outside it. >> are there other members of the democratic party you can point to from the sanders perspective who you think are free of that, who are not absorbed in the vortex of the muck of that system? >> we're running against hillary clinton, that's the only candidate we're running against, and that's who we're addressing in the context of a corrupt system of campaign finance. she and her campaign made a decision to run within the system, to have numerous super pacs. they've got a dark money super pac. $25 million, we don't know where a dime comes from, that's what we're talking about. >> play that out. spell out what the fear is in terms of how that operates. >> the fear is that the special interests over my shoulder on wall street, for example, are going to be able to exert influence on the policy of the next president. that's w

the system for regulating health and safety standards certainly is not what it approaches in the united states or western europe. there are some tools that are made in the united states. apon, they do face very stiff competition from chinese competitors that are aided by the fact that they are not necessarily complying with the same kind of regulations that we take for granted as protecting consumer safety and andenvironment and workers clean water and air here. they also receive subsidies from their government and some protection. it needs to be a priority to congress and the white house to push back on this. , i think that there has been a reluctance to do that in any systematic way and that has had an impact on the choices that consumers have in terms of everything from hardware to toys to closing. host: can you talk a little bit about how currency manipulation effects the trade deficit? guest: sure. currency manipulation is a tool that some governments use to make their exports artificially more competitive or to protect their currency. a central government will by buying up federal

he lost in wisconsin, now turned it around to a message that people can get united behind, the systemell for him. tom: it is working well for him. and the analogy i have, this is a business network but it seem like this is a hostile takeover by the members of the republican party against the leaders of the republican party. does it look like that to you? >> well, like my grandmother norma jeanne williams used to say, not every rule is a fair rule, and the people of colorado, specifically the state gop party there did operate within the bounds of the rules set by the rnc. however, to many, the voters specifically that were generally caucus in the election like this presidential election feel as though those rules are unfair, and i can understand why. they didn't have the opportunity to get involved in the process as they normally would and literally the party insiders decided who the delegates would be, given ted cruz the 34 delegates that were available. >> that happens in a lot of other states as well which donald trump did well in. tom: susan, we had a clip from steve king at one of

system like donald trump might get caught by surprise. but it can catch up, ted cruz is doing so. i think they have to unite to overcome the system. but as liz noted. donald trump can get involved by making a difference and hiring the right people. charles: there have been self epiphanies. you just heard donald trump talking about a democracy. but this is not a democracy, the country w we live in. >> everything we learn new about this process. and certainly those in the business like myself, we understand about the process as arcane as the rules may be. the more the voters learn about the process the more frustrated they get with it. they are involved in the process. voters voting in the republican primary. what i see going on is there is right now this co-dependent relationship between the cruz campaign and gop establishment to try to take out trump. that will be a tax i can relationship on the second ballot -- that will be a toxic relationship on the second ballot if trump doesn't reach 1,237. i'm looking forward to the time when cruz and trump can unite and outsiders to block this. charles: an indiana state delegate says he's r

how are you going to keep people like the united healthcare company, how are you going to keep them in the system >> first of all, you are absolutely right. second, they need to put united in context. united was very tepid about joining the exchanges very early on. it has never been a very act their player. even at an absolute peak. it has never been a big player. we still do not know how many it is going to be. they have said five so far. it may well stay in most of the state it has been in. >> you are sounding a little defensive. >> i disagree with you. >> we acknowledge that we have a problem here. >> last year you guys highlighted. forty were joining. you did not advertise that. we actually had an increase in the insurers. focusing on united. you are not focusing on others. i do agree with you on one important point. having more people at higher risk using more healthcare services than we anticipated. a lot of medical needs. stuart: you need to keep the united healthcare systems of this world in. what do you do? >> i think that there are three important things that need to be done. you have t

let's make sure the supreme court is tilted toward getting rid of citizens united, then the system will be fixed. >> really quickly. maria, i am going to stay with you. hillary clinton as we know is up in the polls in new york by 17 points on the last poll. she was also up in the polls in michigan and lost in that state. do you think that she's being overly confident, that she's going to win new york and that's why she's out in california this weekend? >> no. at least she's in the country. bernie sanders is not even in the country. it is not a criticism of going to meet the pope, as a catholic, that's terrific. but that doesn't matter. the focus is she's fighting very hard for new york. she is not taking any vote for granted. she has been campaigning there vigorously the past several weeks. it is her home turf. she feels confident, at the same time she is not taking anything for granted. her campaign said they believe this race is closer than what the polls show. i believe she will win. i think it is up to bernie sanders to blow her out of the water. if he doesn't do that, it will be di

many comments of donald trump's comments regarding money leaving the united states and the corruption within the western political system and trying to bring money back to the united states, and that even though you stated that they were few americans involved, but this pattern is systemic and it seems at an historic nexus here by the disclosures and the panama papers in relation to the issues donald trump tries to raise? guest: i think we see clear evidence of the documents that people in america are trying to get money out the legally. one case i remember where they offered a very wealthy person from florida various options to get her money out of the country, including setting up a fake charity in panama. up rioso offered to set invoices from a real firm in the u.k., and at one point, they were talking about covering up the money, so there's no doubt that there is money flow around the world that is being held offshore to pervade taxes, but america is probably one of the biggest tax havens in the world. they are jurisdictions is a must caribbean islands. they talked with reporters the other day about the administrati

different concerns about the global economy, you know, i think it's encourages that the united states banking systemon anyone's list and for good reason because we've undertaken reforms that put it in much better shape than it's been in for a long time. but the productivity growth slowdown is something you've seen across a range of economies. some of which did reform their financial systems and some of which didn't. so i think something else is going on than financial reform. i think the deleveraging you referred to of the high savings rates at the corporate level and the individual level was a particularly good and important thing in the first couple years of the recovery but we're now in a position where if you look at households, their interest payments as a shared disposable income is the lowest it's been on record. you look at corporations. they have extremely healthy balance sheets. i think that's all encouraging but it would also be encouraging to continue to see more consumer spending which we have seen over the last year or two but also more business investment which we haven't seen as much

system of campaign finance is resonating so power fully all across the country. people understand the obstacle to progress is because the special interests have taken over politics, particularly after the citizens united decision. he decided to get out of the system and run against it and i think it's resonating. >> what's interesting also, it's also resonating with donald trump and his supporters. this morning savannah and matt asked senator sanders that trump has tagged hillary clinton as corrupt hillary. senator sanders making the distinction he thinks the system is corrupt but he also says she's benefitting from that system. so is he trying to have it both ways by not directly saying that he believes that she is corrupt? >> no, he isn't. he's known her for 25 years, he has enormous respect for her as a person and as a leader. >> well, he questions her judgment so that's not a lot of respect after that many years in politics that she's spent. >> well, he does question her judgment because of decisions like supporting the iraq war and decisions that she's made on the campaign finance issue, for example. but listen, he has decided he's not going to be part of that system. you can stay i'm against cit
