now let's get the democratic side, washington congressman amd adam shapiro adam smith. for the chance. >> a lot of republicans believe some democrats areçó relieved te vote's not happening because they believe a lot of democrats wanted to support the president but were not in favor of force in syria. were you in that camp? >> i don't think we're relieved. we all have different positions. the biggest perspective from the democratic side is it's apparent in the senate and house the president would have a difficult time getting those votes. the impact on policy would not have been good so this gives us another option, hopefully better options, to control the chemical weapons. a lot of democrats and republicans were skeptical about one-time strike, how effective it would be and what it would accomplish. the debate will continue and it's far from over. we may still have that vote. >> trace: what if this lingers? this could go on for months. negotiations and posturing and bashar al-assad. what if it lingers for months? then what? >> i think the single-most important thing --

and so we're getting here to one of the paradoxes of capitalism that adam smith noted. adam smith said that the entrepreneur, even though he intends to do no good, he wants to help himself, he is a self-interested, and adam smith says, greedy guy, but against his will, against his intention, through the invisible hand of competition, the entrepreneur ends up doing more to increase the material welfare of society than if he had tried to do good in the first place. c-span: did you find anybody that you talked to get mad at you for asking some of these questions? >> guest: no. in fact, i found that a lot of people, particularly people in academia, people in the clergy, the intellectual class, they have felt left behind. they have sort of seen this wealth revolution overtake them, and they have felt that the issues that they care about--on the left, inequality; on the right, community and morality--have been--have been ignored. and the technologists' mantra appears to be, 'if i can do it, do it.' and for all i know, the high-tech tycoons pay no attention to what the culture

adam smith is the ranking democrat on the house armed services committee.has used moral imperative to get congress to act on health care, immigration, guns issues where the republicans have said no thanks. do you believe he will be able to get republicans to go with him this time around? >> well, i mean, it's difficult to say. i mean, there are so many different political aspects to this. but at the end of the day, you have to put all that have aside and ask the question is it in the best interest of the united states to launch a military strike on syria. that's the debate that we have to have. you can't get in to well, the republicans are going to be there, partisan politics, how does it affect immigration order budget. this is a stands-alone decision, it's the most important decision that, any elected official can make. >> if it's that important, if it is in the united states' interest to launch this attack on syria, was it a bad decision by the president to risk inaction by going to congress where he may not get the votes? >> yeah. no, but i mean preside

his name is adam smith, and he's famous for the following line: "if everybody pursues his or her own self-interest, it'll work out for the best for everybody." most of you know that that's silly. it's a wonderful rationale to go out there and do what you want for yourself and not care about anybody else, but where that leads is exactly where we are... in a very, very bad crisis. so, let's begin by analyzing this crisis as the crisis of a system. and we'll go on to talk about this system even when it's not in crisis, because that's as big a problem as the crisis itself. but crisis is where we are. 2012 is the fifth year of this crisis. what does that mean? first and foremost, it means that we have in the united states today something on the order of 20 million to 25 million people who either don't have a job at all, have been without a job long enough that they've given up looking-- so-called discouraged workers-- or folks who have to take a part-time job because that's all they can find, but they would like to have a full-time job. the bureau of labor statistics in washington keeps r

educated person and it has been called among other things the most important contribution since adam smith. it changed the course of history in eastern europe the course of intellectual history in the united states and perhaps also events beyond in ways that are still reverberating. also, do read please and discuss and facebook tag and otherwise share and reflect upon his outstanding new memoir "writing from left to right" my journey from liberal to conservative. he is here to talk about that new book today and about much else. he will do this in two parts. i think michael wants to begin with some personal reminiscences including some of the people you have read about in the history books and then rudnick out to ideas. how fortunate those people all were to have known michael. the kirkpatrick society members and guests welcomes michael novak. [applause] >> mary has done so much to put this all together and i'm extremely grateful to her. it's such an honor to take part with the cub patrick society event -- kill patrick society event. karen and i were lucky enough to be very close to -- who

one member, congressman adam smith said today i'm taking all of this information in, but i'm going to take my time and make a careful and really thoughtful decision here. we heard from mike viqueira that congressman king out of new york has been talking about this. he is one who has said the president really has to hammer home the message to the american people tomorrow night. >> that brings me to the next point, libby. do members of congress really think this speech -- a lot is hanging in the balance based on how well this speech is received. could it be that defining moment for the president's push for military action in syria? >> yes, and no. he president is speaking to a lot of the networks tonight. so we'll see him blanketing the airwa airwaves, and making that appeal to members. we have seen members reaching out to specific niche groups like the congressional black caucus. that is a key group to watch, a group that has been very loyal to president obama, very much aligned with many of his positions, but they are in a bit of a pickle to decide how to vote on this. the president i

congressman adam smith, democrat of washington state, the top republicans on armed services says he's going to take a moment and wait and see. >>> you know there's still a question about law makers. it's about this plan and how we're going to successfully hold assad accountable for the use of chemical weapons with the plan going forward after a strike. how it really impact things in syria. >> well congressman smith and his colleague miss the house on both sides of the aisle are experiencing an intense campaign by the white house. the big pitch, the big moment is when the president addresses the nation nap may change the opinion of constituents back home. >>> in a television the interview that aired on cbs we heard more from syrian president bashar al assad and said congress has a very important decision to make. >> well, they are going to vote. i think congress is directed by the people to represent the people. they should ask themselves -- what can they gain now? no political gain. tphop economic gain. tphop good reputation. the united states is at all those times -- so -rb this is a

let's talk about it with congressman adam smith.emocrat frm the house armed services committee. he got back in recent days as syrian-jordanian border. as part of your work on armed services you traveled to afghanistan. we have pictures of you there. you express ad fear that al qaeda could take root in syria if we don't do something. do i have that correct? >> well, they have taken root. obviously they're a big part of the resistance and i think we need to prepare how we can contain that part of containing that i think is supporting the free syrian movement and supporting those rebels who are against assad and not in support of al qaeda. right now syria is divided. assad controls some portions of it. al qaeda control some portions of it. other rebel troops control it. we should be supporting the friendly groups, if nothing else to enable them to survive in the short term and long term give us friend in case we have to deal with al qaeda in syria. jon: but one of the criticisms or potential criticisms of the president's discussion of

joining us with about 140 signatures on a letter asking for congress vote, and we have congressman adam smithd services committee, and he just returned from the syrian border. let me start with you, congressman smith. is there anything that you have heard from the president so far and from the secretary of state john kerry this morning that has convinced you to change your meepd? i know you were very skeptical about this mission and whether it could succeed. >> i'm skeptical about whether or not the use of military force in this case will accomplish the very legitimate goal. i think what mike rogers said about proliferation of wmd and how tufl it is wh how awful it is, it's being a a really. the question is whether or not the burden can fall simply on u.s. military. we don't have a u.n. resolution, we don't have support from the international community to move forward with military action. so i don't question the awf awfulness of the indication. i situation. it's a matter of whether military action will accomplish the goal. >> and if the president were looking for key ally, you'd be one of th

read -- he suggests there are certain cycles that empires have, and it's a very interesting book, adam smithn beijing, but before that long 20th century what he suggests that he looks at length of time which an empire has been dominance, and the size of the container and its influence. he shows that as time goes for the container has increased but the length of dominance has decreased. and he said essentially, there's a sign of autumn in america are visible, and then suggestion and patterns in beijing, china is coming up. in essence, although he argues that china, i don't fully support his argument, has a whole different kind of capitalism. he says it's actual adam smithian. anyway, leave that as i'd -- aside, there's a developed argument about the decline of america and the emergence of new centers of power. to my mind in this book i argue that there will be no china. next. that what we're looking at incoming to militarization is related. what we are looking at is the emergence to some extent, and this is were i'm hopeful, of a polycentric world, that new regional centers are developing. an

. >> representative adam smith says while the u.s. both are arming opposite sides in syria's civil war. >> if all this does is gives russia a green light in order to arm and equip assad so he can continue to kill his people by different means, then we have not achieved our policy objectives. >> reporter: right now, there seems to be no signs that russia is stopping its flow of weapons to the assad regime. and we've also learned from some of our sources that there now are at least 2,000 hezbollah fighters in syria, possibly as many as 2,500 now fighting on behalf of assad. wolf? >> dangerous situation continuing. chris lawrence, thanks very much. >> yep. >> and george little is joining us now. he's the pentagon press secretary. george, thanks very much for coming in. >> thank you, wolf. good to be here. >> general idriss, who runs this free syrian army, he said today, he told our christiane amanpour, he has information that the syrians have already started to send some of their chemical weapons stockpiles to lebanon and to iraq. what d

washington democrat adam smith is undecided on how he'll vote. >> if syria were to give up all of their chemical weapons, i mean, that would be the best possible result. >> reporter: illinois republican adam kinzinger is one of the few in his party to publicly back president obama. >> if the this is a serious discussion about disarming assad, then it may be a win-win without military strikes but the clock's definitely ticking. >> reporter: western diplomats tell me that france and the u.s. are very skeptical that syria will actually comply. and today france will ask the u.n. to enforce it militarily. but we know there's intense diplomacy under way, and that may delay any use of armed force or possibly win over some of the countries who have been reluctant to pledge support for action. this sudden potential has also allowed congress to postpone a vote on the president's call for military strikes. that vote was originally scheduled for wednesday. >> margaret thank you. charlie, even before these discussions became public president obama and president putin discussed this in st. petersburg

republicans at the time did not they made adam smith look like a piker. they do not believe in any regulation. that is how we got into where we were. when the wall came tumbling down, they do not believe in intervention. they were true to who they are. they do not believe in a public role. we were there to save the day, say the country. we shouldn't even be doing that. the full faith and credit of the u.s. is an established fact. i think the 14th amendment covers it. i would have never taken that off the table, but yes, i would be willing to say, don't mess with the debt limit. don't mess with the debt limit. whatever luxury you want afforded to make your point and get attention because it is center stage, that is a luxury we cannot afford. yes, i would say yes to that. by the way, if you go back to that five years ago, it was interesting to me. i was think of it and how close we were to the brink. i couldn't help but think of it last year during the presidential election when the republicans were saying, are you better off than you were four years ago? t

among them democratic congressman, adam smith, the ranking member on the house armed services committee like many members of his party remains skeptical what he should do about the issue of a military strike on the regime. california republican buck mckeon is the chairman of armed services committee. congressman, good to have you here as always. >> thank you, martha. good to be with you. martha: when i hear congressman grappling whether or not they vote for a strike, the first thing pops in my mind i don't think there will be a vote. is there going to be a vote? >> we really don't know. it has been put off and generally until it is scheduled, until you have the debates scheduled, until you have the rules committee meeting we don't really know. martha: yeah, i mean it seems like the momentum and the push for a strike is, the air has gone out of that balloon in a big way, at least i think that is how it appears. is that an accurate assessment? >> i think so. martha: all right. >> i think there was a big sigh of relief and everybody moved on to the next issue. martha: it certainly sound li

been watching live coverage of a quick media rest conference by representatives buck mckeon and adam smith, chair and ranking member of the armed services committee in the house. washington remains very focused on what is going on in syria and the potential military action. hissenate has introduced resolution, and members on the senate floor are talking about that. we have three of four meeting positions up on capitol hill. this one right here you can see now, we're showing you members going into a members only briefing by secretary hegel and joint chiefs chairman martin dempsey. that is happening right now, so the members are going into the sip -- secure briefing room to hear from them. the white house held a link only briefing as well this morning -- --engthy briefing this well as well this morning. , the senate ise due to vote on his resolution. theednesday, and right now that nineis reporting republicans are leaning yes on that resolution, 17 democrats are leaning yes, but 16 republicans are leaning no, and six democrats are leaning yes. undecided, only about 52 members right now have

predictable from the policies in place but the republicans at the time who did not believe -- they made adam smith look like a piker. they did not believe in any discipline, any supervision, any regulation. that's how we got to where we were. when the walls came tumbling down they didn't believe in intervention. i give them credit, they were true to who they are and they do not believe in a public role. so we were there to save the day, save the country. what we're talking about here, in my view, to get to your point, we shouldn't even be doing this. the full faith and credit of the united states of america is an established fact. i think the 14th amendment covered it. the president and i have a disagreement in that regard, i guess. i would never have taken that off the table but yes, i would be willing to say, don't mess with the debt limit. don't mess with the debt limit. whatever luxury you want to be afforded to make your point, get attention, because it's center stage, that's a luxury we can't afford system of yes, i would say yes to that. and by the way, to go back to that five years ago whe
