host: a couple minutes left with our guests, congressman adam schiff of california, member of the intelligence and committee. mobile, alabama. caller: rep. schiff, shouldn't the crackdown on -- should we crack down on pakistan? if we do, what would that mean for the nuclear tensions between pakistan and india? could we perhaps a list -- enlist india to, i don't want to say bring pakistan to heal, but basically be a little more friendly to u.s. interests? guest: i'm glad you brought up the issue of india. one of the most helpful things india can do, and they had been trying to do this, is to reduce the tensions along the border with pakistan. we don't want to pakistani military focus on preparing for war with india. that is not in india's interest, not in our interest. we want to pakistani military focused on going after the taliban and al qaeda in places like north waziristan. to the degree that there is an increase in tension in india, that will divert from what the central preoccupation of the pakistani military is, the very real and imminent threat from radical elements and from al wn talib

what about oil subsidies, adam schiff? >> to me, the greatest contrast in terms of the budget put forth by the republicans is the fact that they are unwilling to go after these tax subsidies of the richest industry making the biggest profits, but they will cut home heating oil assistance for the poor. >> yeah. >> doesn't get a much sharper contrast than that. the republicans have to recognize now if not soon, that their proposal to make medicare into a voucher program is a nonstarter. but it does tell us very graphically what this party is all about. and it is not about looking after seniors, particularly the most vulnerable among the seniors who are on medicaid as well as medicare. >> yeah. well, republican leader eric cantor tonight saying that they've got to find common ground. so maybe they win a bridge too far on the budget but they are not going to be going after medicare and medicaid. so it sounds to me like the people have spoken. i keep putting this graph up on this program. 80% of the american people do not want

joining mess is congressman adam schiff. she serves on the intelligence committee. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> first, saxby chambliss, among others, have said this will obviously come out at some point. should we release the pictures now? >> i think the white house may very well have to revisit this if al qaeda, for example, airs a stored video of bin laden it will only give further fuel to the idea that among conspiracy theorists he wasn't really killed. it elevates the myth. i think people should see how he lived, the opulent life he was living and i think they should see he's dead. i understand the white house has reservations, i have not yet seen the photos, but i think ultimately they may come around to the conclusion that this is necessary. >> i understand they are gruesome, but i don't think it necessarily inspires anyone. it was not a secret that we were trying to kill bin laden, right? if they see that he has in fact been killed, i don't know, you know, could it be a deterrent in some way as well? >> well, i don't great with sarah palin's analy

. >> now, dom, i'm going to ask you, i know your sentiments are reflected by representative adam schiffrom southern. he was saying the same things on thursday. he is a democrat. however, he since has drawn back a bit because -- once al qaeda acknowledged and they released a statement on their website saying he is dead, so, dom, do you think that tempers that at all for you, that maybe we don't need to put out the gruesome photos? >> i still would put them out. i hear what you are saying. i'm glad to hear al qaeda did. my grade is "a" and post, though, i don't think that this president, this is -- the side i don't like has given enough credit to george bush and we still haven't gotten straightened that some of the things president obama did but some of the things that were put into play by bush, that's what resulted in taking out bin laden so forecastively. >> i disagree. may i? >> sure. >> the president invited george w. bush to the wreath laying at ground zero. george w. bush declined. i don't know why. but for to you say the president is not willing to give credit flies in the face of
