director of adam smith research. i then. director of adam smith research-— then.infrastructure we have had since 1973. that is the same infrastructure and that affects productivity and cost and salaries. it is the same with the nhs. we were still using fax machines a couple of years ago. it is the same in westminster where, just a few days ago, a great big hole opened up in the top of portcullis house and it looked like a waterfall. the investment in paying salaries is very significant and the way in which the government went about cutting budgets during austerity, they made cuts to investment. if you are a company doing that you would not do that. you wouldn't start throwing new apple computers out of the window and getting in the old 19805 zx the window and getting in the old 1980s zx spectrums because you think it would cut costs, it is totally illogical. in order to solve the problems for the future we need to look at big reforms, digitisation, investing in infrastructure and capital, or else we will not have the public services we want. wages will continue to

hi, it's great discovery or rediscovery, you might say was the invisible hand of adam smith. it was that most of our institutions, most of our life, our economic life is in between. it's not macro and micro. it's messel. it's the spontaneous orders, as he would say, of human interaction, as in the german language, which is not planned by anyone. and i can't just say, well, now i'm going use the word, for christ's sake. now crisis is the word. you're you're stuck with it. and, and most so social institutions. so the the side of the french enlightenment or the the characteristically french side of the enlightenment is the reason side. and he didn't believe in a unaided human reason and that sense that sense he shared was people like edmund burke, a conservative, but he also he also didn't believe in the corresponding french idea of rousseau and so forth that private property the problem and we need to crush it and centrally plan on the contrary he believed all through his life in in the liberty side of the enlightenment which what you see in france but it's especially obvious i

. >>> and joining me to discuss is the democratic congressman, adam smith of washington, the rankingemocrat on the house armed services committee. congressman, you voted against the national defense authorization act. you said you did that because of the addition by republicans of this amendment, that would undo the defense department policy to pay for the travel expenses for a member of the military or a spouse to get an abortion, to go to a state where that's legal. is it clear to your republican colleagues, do you think, that by adding that amendment and some others this almost ensures that this particular legislation will not become law? >> reporter: well, first of all, i want to emphasize that we had a very strong bipartisan bill out of committee. it passed 58-1. it was a really good bill. we worked with all members. that we supported. on the floor, we added a lot of amendments, certainly the ban on the travel policy that d.o.d. has put in place to help people get access to reproductive care was number one, there were also several provisions in there that were anti-trans, they w

adam smith, let's hear from chris, a republican from washington.r: i am from port louis originally. and in the meantime, i was born in 1988, i have worked in cost transparency modeling i am wondering if the guest has any relationship with auditing software? guest: i am not familiar with that specific company. i will be contacting you. it's exactly what the software does, it drives defensible spending. you have to understand. things like headcount, down to whether you are paying for a license for software there will be a whole pile of data. host: sorry, you trailed off. caller: my question is, why not do that? i have been trying to get access to the c-span api so i appreciate the answer from the guest and have a nice morning. guest: i mentioned palantir and a whole lot of companies do to and that's exactly what we need to do. we have the ability to integrate all of this data. there are a number of companies, ai can be helpful, software can be helpful and we are working to integrate it. it is untangling 50 years of fires. we are better than we were 1

joining me now, congresswoman adam smith democrat from washington state ranking member on the house armed services committee. congressman, thank you very much for being here. you worked on the original and the aa legislation. your thoughts on what they did with that original tax and what comes next? >> well i think the policy that the republicans are advancing, obviously a part of the larger agenda and is extremely problematic for the department of defense. and we, normally we make the decision to work on this in a bipartisan way. certainly, it is troubling that speaker mccarthy chose not to do that. but i want to make sure people focus on the policy that they are trying to advance. the bill that they passed will make it less likely and more difficult for women to serve in the military, for a transferable to serve in the military. it will also make it less likely that people of color get inadequate chance within the military because it will not address those issues. what that means it is in a time one of department of defense is troubling to meet its recruitment calls, it'll be even more

and now we've done sort of individual classes, like classes on adam smith, on tocqueville, on george orwell. and right now i'm back to literature teach, your class and indian and pakistani fiction, which is soon coming to an end. and when you taught the enlightenment, what was the the book that you used. we didn't use a textbook did we did readings from the actual authors and it's quite, you know, and in that case, it's not particularly difficult because the enlightenment readers were writers were were reading to be understood. so they're not trying to couch things in too many hidden. we started with john locke and hobbes in the obvious places. we went on to montesquieu. we read the spirit of laws and we read letters. we read a lot of voltaire, we read rousseau, we read david hume, we read thomas paine and the american founding fathers and just a whole variety of people. it was a huge hit in. a couple of the students actually. why don't we read these things in high? they're so important and we don't know them. so that was a great it was a hit both at the college and at the at the pri

we brought this to the chair of the house armed services committee, congressman adam smith. owners who are purchasing land near military sites or national security sites should be required to identify themselves? rep. smith: absolutely. i think we need greater transparency on that. stephanie: there was no clear reporting structures from sensitive basis to federal agencies responsible. congressman john garamendi is working to change that, adding new language in the national defense authorization act, or ndaa, that would streamline communications to the proper authorities to review these cases. rep. garamendi: if you are not and operation, why are you keeping a secret? stephanie: last year, 300 acres of farmland was purchased near an air force base in another state. rep. garamendi: to build a 400-foot silo that could look directly into the base. wait a minute. what is going on there? stephanie: flannery associates told the i-team no group holds any significant control over the flannerys. congressman smith said that is charmingly nonspecific. if it is determined that this is co

so there has been an unprecedented response from democrats where we have the ranking member, adam smithll now oppose this bill. we have democrats who have never voted against a national defense bill, who will not be voting for this bill, because it has been taken hostage by the extremists in the gop. >> let me go back. are you whipping the votes? >> we have said as leadership we are opposed to this, and our caucus is standing strong with the american people. >> so that's a no. let me ask you, though, because for some democrats in swing states, moderate democrats, this could be tough. if they vote against it, how are they going to go back home and talk to constituents about a bill that they gave 5%, for example, raises to military members who are struggling on food stamps and struggling to pay their rents. do you know how many democrats vote in favor? >> we will see how many republicans can they pass this bill on their own. this a bill they have taken from bipartisan, that's focused on our national security, that is focused on getting those pay raises. this is work that democrats did mak

. >> reporter: that last comment came from adam smith, a top democrat on the house armed services committee. someone who authored the bipartisan bill out of the committee, voting against this plan here. he's optimistic that a deal can be reach ed with the senate tha would be more in line of what he supports, but it's unclear how that committee process will play out. we have learned that kevin mccarthy gave marjorie taylor greene, who is a hard right conservative, someone who planned to vote no, he gave her a spot on the conference committee. that was one of the concessions he made. it gives an indication of awl the horse trading that went on as mccarthy pushed this bill through on the narrowest of margins. >> horse trading is alive and well in congress. some things just don't ever change. thank you. appreciate it. >>> here to share their reporting is nia malia henderson, david chalian. this is a must-pass military bill that we have all seen pass with flying colors by lashlg bipartisan votes. but because each side is using it, mostly republicans in this case, to make the point that they beli

. >>> democratic congressman adam smith of washington, the top democrat on the armed services committee. good to have you with us. the white house, as you well know, officially confirming cluster munitions will be sent to ukraine. you said you would be open to sending them if it could end the war sooner. do you ultimately think this decision and these weapons will achieve that? >> i think it's the right decision. it's a tough decision for the reasons that jake sullivan and president biden outlined today. the bottom line is, the ukrainians need these munitions, because we are running out of other munitions to give them. the war is still being prosecuted against them. the big concern about cluster munitions is the impact they have on the civilian population and the communities where they are used. that's a legitimate concern. the russians are using cluster munitions with a dud rate of over 30%. the munitions we are sending have a dud rate of just over 1%. the ukrainians are using these to defend their own territory. the reason the white house waited is we would prefer not to send these we

americans like to think it was the principles that we came across the atlantic with whether it was like adam smithor or our them and strength and our resourcefulness, our persistence and all that. and i'm not disputing that those things were of some value, but the one thing i think we diminish is the place that we found and you know, that was by the way, very inhabited from the first encounters all along the coastline, i think way more inhabited than a lot of people are aware. but those people had done no damage to the place and. so we arrived on these shores that where so much of our greatness that was to come because of this place right. and we've some ways done that place relatively few favors and we continue to do it relatively few favor. but the beauty of the land really. absolutely. yeah. here we go on this side of the room with a question right here. okay. thank you for just waiting. just a second. american ramble by the author. yes. so i grew in the west. and as you're talking about this, i'm thinking this is a very east coast kind of a thing. yeah. how do you think this trip would have be

adam smith, the ranking member of the democratic party on the house armed services committee, was floatinge idea publicly that the u.s. should send cluster bombs, cluster munitions to ukraine. almost complete silence. the intercept asked for comment from embers of the progressive caucus, from the house armed services committee, democrats got almost no response. this is a bit late. yes, the statement is good. they should have been screaming bloody murder weeks ago as the biden administration moved toward this decision. i think this decision should be put in a context, a context that ever since the biden administration withdrew the last troops from afghanistan almost two years ago, it has been moving more and more to recalibrate its militarism around the planet. for instance, the military budgets, through the roof. a year ago almost exactly, fist bumping the defector leader of saudi arabia while his country was continuing to slaughter people with u.s. help in yemen. we had just last month the red carpet treatment of prime minister modi from india at the white house and capitol hill, 70 with

and like what you said just before at the start of the show, adam smith is absolutely correct. it is going to be incredibly difficult for the military to recruit new members to serve. and once again, they're attacking women. because they are trying to deter women, not only from participating in our political rhetoric, but also to serve on the military. and as they continue to attack women's rights, it's an attack, a direct attack, when are on our democracy. this is not gonna be good for our national security. >> right, rick, we know this isn't gonna go anywhere, given that they won't have the votes in the senate. this is sort of a statement of principle in purpose on their part. and yet democrats argue that the house version of the defense bill would make it harder to recruit, as debbie said, a diverse body of individuals to serve in our military. i wonder, as you look at what is actually in this proposed legislation, how you believe it undermines our national security? >> well, it undermines our national security when we can't pass the defense authorization act. i mean, it sou
