phillips: absolutely. we are concerned about spending, and we were deeply disappointed during the years the republicans had the congress, even though it was president obama, who did not care about deficit. they blew through the spending caps. we held republicans accountable and called them on it. it was disappointing. the years we had sequestration held the spending in place. it was not perfect, but it did that. republicans have failed on spending, and they are still failing on spending. they should get to a regular quarter budget. -- regular order budget. they absolutely should. there is no excuse to have the house and the senate, for several years, and not have a regular order budget. we criticize harry reid, and rightly so, when he and nancy pelosi failed to have the budget all the years they were in power. but republicans did the same thing. it is a failure of both parties. you are exactly right. when we look at history, we believe that tax cuts and lowering rates stimulates economic activity and incre

phillips: yes sir. bill: are there concerns -- california is one where you do not have members where there are some tough house races, some incumbents who are setting down. is it a problem not having the network and some of these areas and is it something you would like to expand in the future? mr. phillips: we have thought about that, and we only get involved in a political solution when -- situation when two criteria are met. as a candidate align closely with us on key issues? and do we have an infrastructure to make a difference? make at tv ads, but difference. we are not in california, we are not in new york state, we are also not in alabama, which is more of a red state. we talked about it. we want to make sure when we go to a state, we can move the needle. those are states we do not feel like we are ready to move into yet. bill: one of the issues that did not come up in the state of union -- the union addresses the rising deficit. the president is calling for $1.5 trillion in infrastructure spendi

phillips. mr. chopra. >> thank you, chairman thune, and ranking member blumenthal and themes of the committee. i appreciate the opportunity to be here today. it's an honor to be nominated by the president to the federal trade commission, an agency with one of the most respected staffs in the world, and i'm grateful to my family, friends, teachers and colleagues for their support. some of whom are here today. this is my fifth time testifying in hearings before members of the united states senate. i believe in the fundamental importance of congressional oversight over federal agencies to ensure that they're working for the greater good and using public resources efficiently. i'm committed to being responsive and accountable to this committee and this chamber. the ftc is more than a century old, but many of its traditions should remain timeless. the agency has a longstanding history of commissioners working on a bipartisan basis to protect consumers and competition by fairly enforcing the law. and it

back with us, phillip bump and john harris.an you say that you could put any president's name at the top of these tweets and not envision it, not imagine it, it's kind of a case of where do you want to begin? >> well, what's stunning, brian, and you and i were there back in the clinton days, in an earlier era when there were stories about the president's indiscretions. these dominated the news and dominated the news agenda to literally years. what's striking to me in the trump era is the stormy daniels story a month or so ago, this story, they all seem to get lost in the whirlwind. so just to connect it to our last statement, i think donald trump pays a heavy price in his policy agendas for the kind of constant swirl of allegations and attacks and twitter storms on the substantive side. on the political side, think it works for him. these allegations, they seem to come and go like straw in a hurricane. >> you could argue it was part of the baked in package of things people knew and thought of about this president, phillip, as s

phillips what is the state that gets the most defense money? >> host: defense department money, delano? >> caller: yes, sir. >> host: do you have the answer for us? >> caller: i do, from google. do you know? >> host: no, i don't. >> guest: no, i'm not aware. >> caller: it's virginia. you know,re i thought it would e texas, maybe california, something. but here's my, that's my question. here's my -- a soft answer -- [inaudible] greaves words stir up anger. thank you very much for c-span. >> host: edward in keyport, new jersey. morning. >> caller: yeah, thank you. my question is i think even if youmy had fox news in every millennial's bedroom, that your points just don't make much sense to younger generations. i would like to ask you what is it that you want to sell millennials? and, i mean, because right now we're looking at the party that doesn't believe in science, the party that believes in evangelical shah' like, you know -- sharia, like, you know, the party that doesn't believe in minimum wage. so i want to ask you what points can you tell

there was a big dispute in the 1990's about the phillips curve.s curve was supposed to basically engender inflation as the unemployment rate fell. well, the unemployment rate cap falling, but productivity was accelerating at the time, so unit labor costs didn't move, and we had a period where the phillips curve did not work. the phillips curve presupposes a certain fixed rate in productivity growth, and that is not the way the world works. >> we are missing that right now. speaking of the 1990's, you used the term irrational exuberance to describe the bullish sentiment that was driving up stock prices during the dot-com bubble. you used the term "in 1996." do you see any signs of the irrational exuberance today? >> let me put it to you this way. i think there are two bubbles. we have a stock market bubble and we have a bond market bubble. at the end of the day, the bond market bubble will eventually be the critical issue. but for the short-term, it is not too bad. we're working toward a major increase in long-term interest rates, and that has a ve

phillip rucker. white house bureau chief for the "washington post." shannon pettypiece for "bloomberg news." and the pool reporter on duty at the white house today. so, todd, i'd like to begin with you. talk about the president's demeanor, the kind of bluster index compared to other days you've spent on the beat and the mood around him in the west wing. >> it was pretty extraordinary to hear him talking with such enthusiasm about the possibility of a shutdown. when we had a 16-day shutdown a few years ago, basically the economy lost about $1 billion a day. the three-day shutdown didn't seem too damaging just a few weeks ago, but it's pretty unusual to hear a president or anyone in washington say it would be a great thing to have a shutdown and he repeat ted the word over and over and over. he seemed combative. it did not seem to be something that was just off the cuff. it seemed like something he probably came into that meeting planning to throw on the table. >> shannon, to todd's point, we are not used to hearing presidents say this kind of thing. th

abby phillip there with new reporting. a decision is imminent on whether this memo comes out. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. we're learning that a decision is due today on whether to release this memo. that decision lies in the president's hands. it does not necessarily mean that the memo is actually going to be released immediately after the president makes his choice, but it certainly starts the clock on when we might see this four-page memo. now, as for those issues as far as what is actually in the memo, the white house is saying they were not aware that nunes made changes to the memo and what impact that could have on what final version we see we really don't know. this four-page document has had some kinds of changes made to it. nunes says those changes are cosmetic. the democrats say the changes are substantive. but in between all of that, the fbi is saying they have some serious factual disputes with this document. none of that seems to be holding the white house back from moving pretty rapidly to get this memo

abby phillip has the details. this is her reporting at the white house. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning, john and poppy. we're hearing that the president is furious about this statement that the fbi put out last night calling for that memo to not be released. he also believes that the memo, according to our sources will help discredit the mueller probe, that ultimately what this is about from the president's perspective is casting more doubt on the objectivity of this probe and whether or not it will be fair, whether or not it is biased against him. one thing about the memo, it does center on rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who is a centerpiece of the probe and also the source of a lot of the president's anger recently.

the former head of britain's national counterterrorism security officer mr phillips good to have you with us this hour now what do you think what we're seeing here is this particular case is just a one off and you know what is that about hey throws security procedures do you think. well it is not likely to be a one off and i would suggest that this is probably the similar situation in most airports around the world the simple fact is that airports employ huge numbers of people within their within their grounds some of got certain rights and others haven't and i think one of the big issues for them is is temporary staff and people coming in short notice and they realize to a great extent of sub contractors and subcontractors coming in have to do the same levels of checks as those that work full time so i think this is a problem for heathrow it's a problem for all airports and if you think of the damage that an insider can do they can bring airplanes down as we saw a few years ago in sharm el shaikh insider is one of the most dangerous things that we can face and all airports owe it to

abby phillip for us outside the white house with the very latest.miliar tweet from the president, going after his very own attorney general in this tweet this morning. he seemed to be preoccupied with this russia investigation. this is what he had to say directly to jeff sessions who, by the way, his name was misspelled in the tweet. he said, question, if all the russian meddling took place during the obama administration right up to january 20th, why aren't they subject of investigation? why didn't obama do something about the meddling? why aren't dem crimes under investigations? ask jeff session. it's unclear what the dem crimes he's referring to. he has often asked his attorney general to turn the investigative powers of the department of justice back on to the democratic administration that came before him and presumptively, his democratic opponent in the 2016 election. the president clearly still very angry with jeff sessions here. we know they've had a tumultuous relationship over the past year. the president was angry that sessions recused hi

. >> yamiche alcindor and phillip rucker, yamiche, what was it like there today? >> today, like at the white house, i think that president donald trump's response was something that was i think incredible for this administration in that he wouldn't go on camera. there was no briefing today. he called a lid. unlike president obama who was on cameras and was known as the comforter in chief, you have a president governing by twitter. so some people think that the president has spoken about this, he's offered his concondolences, says federal officials can offer the state support. but this idea that donald trump, who is outspoken on so many issues, has yet to be in front of a camera to speak about this. i should tell you, i covered newtown, connecticut, parents there, after the shooting, were advocates for gun control, a lot of them are still in court as of last year trying to sue the maker of ar-15s because they think the gun manufacturers need to feel the heat and understand that they need to do something in this fight. as a reporter, there was a groundswell where pe
