[cheers and applause] >> according to adams family lore, when abigail smith married john adams on october 25, 1764, the reverend smith, abigail's father preached a sermon on a text from matthew. for john came neither eating wed or -- charles francis adams recorded the story in his grandmother's memoir and explains the reverend's choice of text as his response to the weymouth congregation. he suggests that a portion of the parisher ins thought that the son of a small farmer of a middle class was scarcely good enough to match with the minister's daughter, descended from so many of the shining lights of the colony. the reverend smith message may have included his more personal reflections which charles francis preferred to disregard or excuse. for many reasons, the reverend smith and his wife elizabeth may have disproved of the marriage of their middle daughter. abigail was not yet 20 years old when she married. young for the middle of the 18th century, where on average women married at the age of 22. further, she appears not to have had previous suitors to john adams whom she met when she w

the smith family for more recently arrived represented the other respectable strain of new england society. adams's father was a farmer and a shoemaker. it is clear that abigail smith acted on her own will when it came to marriage. she chose to marry john adams because she loved temp and because she believed they were compatible. during their more than three years of court ship, she had measured his character, tested his own intuition, as he had in return, and in the end, abigail believed that she could live her lifetime in partnership from which there was no escape. the adams's marriage has become historic. it calls forth an image of an ideal marriage, one founded on love, loyalty, friendship, and courage, and in many respects, it was. but the adams's marriage is his work for other reasons. it appears modern. in fact, it possesses many of the attributes of a modern marriage. it was a love match that endured. it produced at least one famous son and established a dynasty of great citizens. it overcame adversity and tact. it was a match of intellectual equals, lending legitimacy to the claim of women

the ranking member of the house armed services committee, congressman adam smith, is standing by along with our correspondents and analysts. let's begin with our chief national security correspondent, jim sciutto, and our cnn terrorism analyst, paul cruickshank. paul first of all, what do we know about the video? >> we know the video was seven minutes long it's being seen by investigators and features amedy coulibaly shooting dead three hostages as he stormed that grocery store, that jewish grocery store in paris earlier this month. according to the technical analysis of the french it was e-mailed from a computer in that store to some form of associate of coulibaly and the fear is that this is now going to hit the jihadi web sites, it's going to be put out by a group like isis for propaganda purposes. >> how significant would this be, jim? >> it's news u.s. intelligence also aware of this video coulibaly had a camera and filmed the attacks. how significant is it? it would provide really a minute by minute reel in effect of the moments of the attack as he went in there and sadly, as he

adam smith did not think that was the end to it. adam smith wrote to bay books. he was very much a believer that men and women needed to develop a moral sense. a sense of what the right thing to do was and then act on it. he expected people __ my joke was that he thought people in the marketplace __ not the caricatured that we knew him for today. he has been terribly misused and popular rhetoric. host: finally, tom kelly tweets in __ what a fair tax be the most ethical way to finance government? guest: there is a lot of economic merit to this tax. a consumption tax does not necessarily need to be one rate, it could be progressive. my colleague at usc has done a lot of work in this area. there are a lot of economic reasons why consumption tax would make sense. it is a terrific idea that would never fly in the united states. thee idea is that you just get a check for existing. and you go on from there and use that. as you said, would we even live in a society where that would be a rational conversation to have? this progressive consumption tax disadvantage is that

am i free enterprise adam smith? am i maoist troublemaker, like that? yeah, more like that. well that's not right either. but there is something that's right. there's something that's right is this -- that i grew up where i grew up. and you say san francisco? yeah, i grew up in san francisco. i grew up in the 1950s, i went to the public school. i have had a long time in the law. i am the person i am. by the time you're in any profession for a few years and a while and you practice it and have life experience, you'll have views, what kind of views? very basic philosophical views. if you're a lawyer, a student, what's this document about? how does it relate to people? what's the country like? that's who you are in your profession and you cannot jump out of your own skin. and you shouldn't. and therefore on that basis, you will find differences and you will find coalescing around certain basic things. but i don't think it's a terrible thing. it's a big country. we have 300 some on. 20 million, 10 million, 20 million people. and they think a lot of different things. it's not suc

congressman adam smith -- not then on the intelligence committee -- asked george tenet how certain was he on a scale of 1-10 is about these weapons and tenet said 10. and condoleezza rice started muttering about not wanting the proof to be a mushroom cloud. i think you'll recall that rhetoric. no mention that the day before the intelligence community had circulated this classified intelligence estimate that was so full of ez are vegases and -- reservations and uncertainty. on the 3rd of october i was visited by iowa meld che laddie, the kind of baffoonish blowhard of an iraqi exile who was supposed to go back to iraq and lead the country in democracy? none of that happened because he had no support in iraq though he was bush's favorite iraqi. he sounded like a white house staffer, he was making the same arguments i had heard the day before. >> from george tenet and donald please da rice. on the following day the 4th of october, friday, the cia put out a public white paper because people had been clamoring for a declassified document that summarized the intelligence. so george tenet put

take adam smith free market economics and put it together with james madison, who is from my district i have some friends here who are going to hold me true for here. if you put them together, adam smith and james madison, who authored the constitution, you can predict my vote. i actually mean that. we intend to act out on those principles. if you do that, the people back home will say they are sticking to their principles, they are announcing what they are doing and either they will buy it or not. if we stick to our principles, it is harder for the other side to not be done with sign-ups -- knock you down with soundbites. those are the utopian principles we are trying to hang two. i ran on three issues that concern the young people in the room. the debt is 18 trillion. they you have the unfunded liabilities, $127 trillion. our budget is about a third discretionary, two thirds nondiscretionary. entitlements are in that two thirds. you cannot change that until you change the law. just to give you a sense of what 127 trillion means, those four programs will take up the entire budget by

among our guests this week congressman adam smith on negotiating with terrorists and how the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia. "outfront" airs on saturday cnn international. "ac360" starts right now. >>> good evening. thanks frp joining us. we begin with breaking news on the measles outbreak that began in california and spreading tonight. state health officials say the number of measles cases in california has risen to 91 with 54 cases now in disneyland. cdc said measles cases reported in 14 states this month with most tied to the disneyland outbreak. in arizona with the super bowl two days away there are growing concerns the virus could spread further when expected million people converge for the game. more on that in a moment. in arizona, seven measles cases linked to the disneyland outbreak and 1,000 people have had contact with the patients. among those at risk a toddler in phoenix.

charles: adam smith talked about the specialty of an economy. the specialization of specialization.ot doing something with it, go to the airport and pick somebody up to a hotel. make a few bucks. matt: i believe in this wholeheartedly. this is what the economy needs. incidents the old school build a manufacturing plant. they're hustling. these gen x-ers need to hustle. until you do that, you're not going to be successful. charles: there's a lot of grandmas picking people up with uber. union membership is already waning. this freelance aspect that joanie is talking about, the on demand economy i think lb it will be the final dagger. i think this could be the final nail in the coffin of private sector unions. >> we get to be big shots tapping into the specialization. great for works that want flexibility. but to your point, it is terrible for the workers that would value security. value being part of a big company. this could be the death nail. i see it going in that direction. middle-age, folks that are conservative, they are having a hard time keeping up. charles: another reason to

i do want to quote adam smith here and i promise we'll come back on this topic.te adam smith since you brought the question of our philosophical underpinnings. a power to dispose of the estates forever is manifestly absurd. the earth and the fullness of it belongs to every generation and the preceding one can have no right to bind it up from posterity, such spengs of such property is quite unnatural. there is no point more difficult to account for than the right we certain men to have to dispose of their goods after death. >>> i want to bring you up to date on the severe weather this morning. icy roads are being blamed for several accidents in parts of new jersey new york and pennsylvania. in new jersey, hundreds of crews are spreading salt on the roads and bus service has been suspended statewide. outside philadelphia at least 20 cars were involved in a pileup as freezing rain contributed to slick roads. stay with msnbc throughout the day for the latest on weather conditions. >>> up next we'll talk more about this because president obama has a plan for the rich

good, very good, adam smith if you want to put a name to it.s right, the history of ideas for 100, 200 years prior. but society's finally had to choose the free market system. there's always been markets, go back to the ancient greeks and roman where is they have been trading chickens and cows. so we've always had markets. there's always been spice trade and this trade and the other trade. so it's a very different thing, doing business, right, or economics or whatever is very different from choosing socially, your society choosing to have, and run your society by the free market system. that's the big deal. that kind of came hand in hand with other fundamental shifts that had to be in place ahead of time. now, you had to choose the rule of law private property rights, the liberty tradition, you know, coming out of john lock all the way through. in my district, i forgot to mention, i am fortunate enough to come from a terrific district that is framed by patrick henry down in the rich monday area all the way to the northwest, james madison in my

that after all is the promise of american federalism and almost two centuries before, adam smith wrote, quote, where all nations to follow the liberal system of free expectation in free impartation, the different states into which economy was divided with so far resembled the different provinces of the great empire. the general application would later achieve almost all that was not necessary without requiring his new order of states in the general direction would continue to be much more responsive to popular sentiment in critical debate in cybernationstate and under the rule of remote dropper season his last days. burnham's criticism to soviet society suggested he had granted this metamail 1950s. that brings us to orwell's 30 most telling criticism. mrs. burnham makes mistakes because he's too fond of the visions, too ready to believe the model processes of history will happen suddenly and logically. there's some truth in this criticism. it turned out to be a matter of style and timing rather than massive error. burnham wrote with great clarity. the superficialities of any situation

adam smith's the greatest, ricardo is the second. they were dealers in the stock of the east india company, and that's how they made their money in the first place and that's why my eye was caught as i walked up the street by the synagogue. the government didn't really trust it. george iii far from regarding the east india company as necessarily a national asset actually regarded it as potentially a source of disaster. he was worried by what he called the rah peen of itser is -- ray peen of its service in india. saw a series of scandals avidly reported in the london press, detailing the corruption of the company, its extortion in india and also its partial responsibility for a very serious famine that afrequented bengal in 1769-1771. there was probably the second most senior man in the british government at the time referred to it as the damned east india company. lord north was not very impressed with it either. the reality was the british government wanted to reform the east india company. they wanted to reform it because they beli

so it really goes to the point adam smith was very much a believer that men and we needed to develop a moral sense of a sense of what the right to do was and then act on it. he expected people, and my joke was he thought that the people in the marketplace enjoying the freedoms of the marketplace would all be mentious, not the caricature that we use him for today. he has been terribly misused in popular rhetoric. host: wouldn't the fair tax be the most equitable way to finance government? it would finance cronyism. guest: a consumption tax does not have to be one rate. the more you spend in the year the higher your tax would be on the last spending. my colleague at usc has done a lot of work in this area. there are a lot of economic reasons why a consumption tax would make sense. a consumption tax does not have to be one rate. the more you spend in the prebate is a terrific idea that would never fly in the united states. the idea is that you just get a check for existing. and you go on from there and use that. would that we lived in a society where that could be a rational conversatio

they use all of those adam smith quotes they learned in college. there is always a passionate defense. in our administration, a remarkably talented person was the chief speechwriter. he loved those debates about what is the meaning of our time here together. if you see him today, he will talk passionately about those same things in a more articulate way than most people. there is real passion. at the end of the day, we serve the president. we are serving the president's ideas. they tend to be open to argument. that is part of the reason why this process is so broad. policies get argued out over the course of the months leading up to the address. the president ways both sides. we air it publicly. we determine if that is the way to go forward. guest: the one i remember was he had said read my lips no new taxes. that was in a number of speeches as president. as speeches were getting circulated for approval, that phrase would get circled. we were told to tone it down. we were completely blindsided when the president agreed to the 1990 budget deal. the

but significantly, i think the voters understand, even if the political operatives do not, that adam smith right when he said in "the wealth of nations" that the first duty of the sovereign, the first duty of the sovereign is that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion of other independent societies. that is the president's main job. when the president fails at that, he fails at everything. [applause] now, let's discuss what has gone wrong over the past six years. it will unfortunately likely go wrong in the next two. i have a limited amount of time to read -- time. i will try and summarize it. the report card on the obama-clinton-kerry record is one of continued failure, failed every step of the way. for six years, obama has basically try to avoid national security policy. he sees these international threats as distracting from that objective of fundamentally transforming america, and he's not done yet. he doesn't believe in the global war against terrorism. he said so repeatedly. he thinks it can be handled as a law enforcement matter, as if we can unilaterally declare

that sense of community is something that even adam smith recognized. wealth of nations, he talked about the economy driving everything, the invisible hand, but he also, that laisez faire he also wrote the book of low principles in which he said we have a responsibility to other people. i don't know if you read that book. i should have brought it down here so you could see t i wish had he written one book, both of them together. this sense of community, this sense just even to take it to an economic side again, the fact that people have disposable income, that they can consume, and because the consumer economy has not come back because paychecks are not big enough is one of the reasons we have not had the recovery that we could have had, we had 57 straight months of private sector job growth. it's been going on for a long time. i guess leader mcconnell just realized, but it has been going on for a long time. >> do you share the view of some of your democratic colleagues at this hour that promote authority, which we believe the president will be seeking

saying one of the first things we have to do is education and for your information, neither would adam smith have done it in the wealth of nations when he says look market systems are inevitable if you're going of to have a good society, but they're not sufficient by themselves. there have to be interventions and he named specifically education, so lincoln didn't read the wealth of nation. maybe he did. but he didn't need to. he was as smart as smith was only said it better. and if you take that test and apply it to everything, you end this argument about the role of government. it gets to be very easy then you're arguing ad hoc. space program kennedy wants one. conservatives, you want to leave it to the private industry? maybe boeing will do it. i don't think so. how about government in -- government? yeah it's a good investment so we're in it. with hamilton, it was the national bank, etc. etc. but that's always a correct analysis. when it got to roosevelt and poor people were dying because nobody would go to help them and old people who were sick had no help roosevelt said look we have to

smith, fox news contributor, steven lieb, and our own adam shapiro.'s begin with this euro issue and steven, i throw it to you first. they say parity with the euro, we haven't seen that in years and years and years. what does it mean and do you believe that will happen? >> i think if you look at the situation now, liz, and look what is going on in europe and differences between countries like germany which is doing very well and greece which is making our great depression look like a utopia, it is very hard to see the euro doing anything but going down further. and i wouldn't be at all surprised and i know, i don't want to sound too aggressive or too crazy but i wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no euro by the end of 2016. liz: no euro by the end of 2016. >> yes, absolutely. i don't see how you can keep greece and germany, just to take two extremes, in that -- liz: gary b., if you cut off somebody's pinky the rest of the body still lives. is the euro going away. >> no. basically if you cut off greece, okay, that is obviously catastrophic for gr

that sense of community is something that even adam smith recognized. when he wrote "wealth of nations," he talked about the economy driving everything, the invisible hand, but he also, that laisez faire he also wrote the book moral principles in which he said we have a responsibility to other people. i don't know if you read that book. i should have brought it down dear so you could see it. i wish had he written one book both of them together. this sense of community, this sense just even to take it to an economic side again, the fact that people have disposable income, that they can consume, and because the consumer economy has not come back because paychecks are not big enough is one of the reasons we have not had the recovery that we could trouble although -- who would have had to come out although -- that we could have had although we had 57 straight months of private sector job growth. it's been going on for a long time. i just leader mcconnell realized it is taking credit for it but but it has been going on for a long time. >> do you share the vi

i am adam smith. regrettably there's an -- well not, regrettably, he's a nice man, but there's an adrian smith. she thought she was signing adrian smith onto the bill. first of all, nobody should be able to sign you on to a bill without your signature. i know we do that and it speeds up the possess but it creates a situation where anyone can put you on any bill. in this case i was put onto a bill that was polar opposite to my beliefs and my 18-year record in congress. you would think there is a simple fecks. to her credit congresswoman black did take it off. she had my name removed as a co-sponsor. but that's not what happens. on the bill out there with the original co-sponsors, my name does not simply disappear. a line is drawn through it and it is said next to it withdrawn, as if at some point i did co-sponsor the bill and then changed my mind. i don't know how we change this rule, but when this happens, when it is clear that someone signed you on a bill you had no intention of being on, your name sh

smith. a south carolina congressman hoping for a diplomatic post in the adams' administration. maybe the top one he didn't get that. smith was one of the major leaders in congress. he turned down a 25-part series of newspaper essays later packaged as a two-part pamphlet. you see one of the title pages here that becomes a hit piece in american politics. the themes rolled out any time later a candidate was seen as progressive. smith made jefferson the original model the big populace in reality he was an elitist who squishy soft character showed him a naive train of thought. i wanted to label him a limousine liberal. i was playing around what we were going on instead. so called discoveries in he collected home office equipment. one he didn't invent but he became famous partly through this is what smith called the wonderful whirly gig chair. his swivel office chair with candle holders. george washington had this one before he did. it should be washington's wonderful whirly gig chair. this seemed so ridiculous to smith that he turned it to symbol of jefferson's doniness and silliness

my colleague adam will be joining us later in the program to describe some of these effects. one of our partners, dan smith is also here today to tell us about some of the specific candidates who have been affected by the current role of money in our politics and even given current limitations on campaign financing we can find unique ways to solve these problems. thank you very much. >> thanks. so they say give yourself a minute a slide. if everybody can promise not to blink for next five minutes i think we'll be fine. we looked at spending in senate races. the reason we looked at the senate is because it has been up for grabs in all three elections since citizens united. that tends to increase outside spending. what did we find. the story is outside spending has increased. in fact candidate spending, spending by spending by a tiny number of wealthy donors who can afford to give in excess of the contribution limits that karen was talking about and dark money is playing a bigger role which creates risks for corruption and influence that's hidden by the public. money spend by organizations who hide some or a
