i will go back to what adam smith said this morning. he said the content of my authorization was done without advice from the secretary of state. >> we can see the secretary of state's integrity highlighted by the way he went about it. there is a gap between some of the evidence we have hard. this highlights why we should wait for this inquiry to finish. >> he is absolutely right. this is a huge opportunity to get things right. we have heard evidence that has some flaws in it. anyone looking at it objectively will say that we need to look at all of the evidence and not jump to conclusions. >> there is a takeover bid. >> i am happy to identify all communications with his office. i will look into that matter. >> mr. speaker, the secretary of a came to the house -- is harming the house in the way he is answering questions. can the secretary of state clear up the statement and say it was absolutely untruth? >> there are allegations in an e-mail that that did not happen. i am unable to come to the house and say what the truth was or otherwis

hunt, adam smith who is his special advisor has resigned over his role in news corp.'s attempted takeover of beskyb. the creative perception that news corp. had close relationships with the department of culture, media and sports run by mr. hunt. news corp. international chair chief executive rupert murdoch in the first of two days of questioning, today and tomorrow. investigating media ethics and practices. here's mr. murdoch's testimony from earlier today. >> on monday afternoon, i said this -- i understand the very real public interests in the issues that will be ventilated by the evidence. are also recognize the freedom that permits what is said to be discussed and the subject of comments in whatever way saw fit and i shall be interested in how is covered. for my part i shall approach the relationship for the press and politicians from entirely nonpartisan judicial perspective. that is the reason i was given this. i would hope that this approach will be made clear. when i said those words i had in mind some of the evidence that i anticipated we would hear, includin

that is why adam smith decided to resign.ts statement, he said, "the contact and expense of my contact was done without authorization from the secretary of state." >> thank you, mr. speaker. a model professional. he knew -- >> hear, hear. >> he knew that the deal was controversial. can he explained what measures he talked to insure that the bid process was fair, transparent, and open? >> i have talked at length about the role of independent regulators. one of the points about getting that independent advice was that i published what they advised me to do before i made my decision. the whole country could see whether i acted in accordance with independent advice. this house and the country can be assured. this was conducted with scrupulous impartiality. >> told of the communications and of not being appropriate. either the secretary of state -- they followed due process and they should be fighting in defense of the innocents. if not, there should be due humility. >> due process in this situation means i take my decision impart

government special adviser adam smith described as point of contact between minister and murdoch bidding of control of the u.k. satellite broadcaster be sky b. material when james murdoch gave evidence yesterday had included damning picks and e-mails indicating a government bias towards newscorp. >> mr. secretary -- >> facing the house of commons, the secretary jeremy hunt paid tribute to his special adviser but insists he had acted with scrupluss fairness in his quasi judicial role overseeing the bid. >> our transcripts of conversation and texts published yesterday between my special adviser adam smith and a news corporation representative have been alleged to indicate there was a back channel through which news corporation were able to influence my decisions. this is categorically not the case. >> but if mr. hunt needed any reminder that he remains under pressure, he had to endure this taunt -- >> doesn't it prove the theory that when boys are in trouble, they sack the servant! >> words which echoed the scene sounded by the leader of the opposition just minutes before at a highly charg

questions coming from the republican of california chair of the committee and congressman adam smith democrat from washington state. the ranking member. this is "washington today" on c-span radio. with more on today's developments in syria we're joined on the phone by the vice president for studies at the carnegie endowment for international peace. he's the author of "the arab center, the promise of moderation." thanks very much for being with us. >> sure. >> what are the options? what next can the u.s. do with regard to syria and what kind of support is there within the international community? >> it is difficult to, you know, see a quick end, unfortunately, to this crisis. the options are limited. there is no appetite in the international community for another military intervention. there is a divided opposition in syria and the question of whether to arm the opposition or not is not something that the opposition is united on. some don't armed, some say arming the opposition will further complicate the issue. and so the united states so far has to keep on trying the diplomatic opti

up next, we'll hear from adam smith, a democrat from washington.o not forget on c-span today you can see that hearing that is taking place in london dealing with rupert murdoch and james murdock on the issue of phone hacking. you may see a little bit from yesterday. here is a bit from james murdoch yesterday, dealing with the issue. [video clip] >> did you read "the news of the world" on a weekly basis? >> i would not say i read all of it. >> did you read "the son," i'm not saying every day. >> i tried to familiarize myself with what is in it. >> did you see any risks associated with this particular brand and its included delving into the private lives of celebrities and others. >> i think "the news of the world" brand as an investigative newspaper with expos days and the like was not only concerned with celebrities and gossip, but also on covering real wrong- doing, scandals, campaigning, and so forth. >> i am focusing on this part at the moment. the question was did you see any risks associated with those aspects of the brand? >> at the time, i c

he's also an msnbc political analyst, and adam smith, political editor for the tampa bay times. e.j., this sure looks like an audition out there. and you can see what rubio thinks is his audition strength. talking about those poor parents of his, that he grew -- that family poverty is a recent experience for him and bringing a kind of passion to speech making that romney just doesn't have. >> which may be one of the big problems. it was an interesting line he took in that clip, don't get mad at mitt romney for being rich, you should try to be like mitt romney. that probably endeared him to mitt romney. rubio on paper is perfect because what does romney need? he needs florida and he really needs to shore himself up with the hispanic vote. but, unfortunately, no human being exists simply on paper. and rubio is young. he has, as far as i can tell, less elected experience than obama had and romney regularly says obama wasn't prepared to be president. and so i think he's got some liabilities. and then we're going to see how he vets. but, you know, on paper, he's absolutely perfect. >

coming to us tonight are adam smith and stacy lambe creators of the "texts from hillary" tumbler.us inside "the war room." i got to get my blackberry. or my droid i should say. [ laughter ] >> i'll ask adam the first question. how did you come up with this idea? >> stacey and i were having a drink or . . . two, at the bar on wednesday night, last wednesday after work. and i said stacey have you seen this picture of hilary clinton. she has sunglasses on she is looking at her blackberry, and stacey said texts from hilary and i said perfect. >> like all good ideas made up at the bar. i'm toasting you with a glass of wine right now. >> we don't have one. >> you have your droids though. stacey when did you know that you had a viral hit on your hands? >> you know, i think what really set it off was in the morning, buzzfeed has actually posted it right away, and we had only had four posts up at that point, and they called it the best political mien they had seen all year, and when you get a label like that after four hits you are like oh my gosh from there it just went crazy, and i think

that would be sort of the common sense economic adam smith or libertarian view. it's not about how hard you work, it's about you're putting something out there, and are you being paid market rate for that. and then we can talk about is market rate fair, and that's what a lot of the debate is between the left and right. it's a very good debate, an important debate. there are big social class differences, that was my main finding in my dissertation was that the differences between brazil and the united states were actually smaller than the social class within each country. lower social class people are much more interdependent, they're much more vulnerable and, therefore, to ups and downs of fortunes, they tend to have stronger ties whereas wealthy people can be much more independent, they tend to be more autonomous, individualistic and selfish, actually, a new paper showing rich people are more likely to cut people off in traffic. there are big different -- money does all sorts of things. it's not all bad, but money and class are hugely important for understanding

adam smith, driven out of the department after he had given the impression that his boss had to close of a relationship with the murdoch empire. that did not silence calls from labor for the minister to quit. >> he and the chancellor met with rupert murdoch. the shadow will hang over him. rebekah brooks, and now the culture secretary? when is he going to realize that it is time to stop putting his cronies before the interest of the country? >> and anxious minister looked on as the prime minister insisted that it was for the inquiry to investigate, and no one should prejudge. >> that is the inquiry i have set up. where is the proper regulator of the press? whether it is cleaning up our financial system, dealing with our debts, what a pity. >> all of this was brought up with evidence when james murdock was questioned at the inquiry yesterday. what is at issue is what the truth is about the attempted multi-billion pound takeover of b sky b and the culture secretary's relations with james murdoch. murdoch was told by his advisers that he had managed to get some information, although absol

and while washington would some times use the invisible hand of adam smith, and then he saw no contradicts in turning to the visible hand of the use of government to run what he called laboratories, we called them factories. to manufacture the weapons that, that the, the republican needed to, to survive. it was that sort of flexibility that was a key to what was, what was, what was going on here. he kept cultivating the-- the art of silence. and reserving, that -- that -- in his conduct with others. he was of the first generation to use the phrase -- public opinion. but he was not a democrat. he thought it was important. he accepted the idea of the sovereignty of the people. he believed in -- in elections as fundamental to all of that. and it never occurred to hum that hum -- him that he should choose policies on basis of popularity. in that we he was different from what would come later. he thought it was important that he should show himself to the people. and so he toured the country twice, a huge labor to go from maine to georgia as he did. to, so that he could, represent to, to the am

in particular, what if any will do you think adam smith scenario ascended the pace in nine. is it totally at odds in a separate row or is there a way to think about this in group cooperation or in terms of sympathy? >> that could take about an hour to answer. where are we on time? where should we start? very good. group selection is a very complicated and can i won't get into it here except to say the general story here is that in the social science there's been a lot of effort unless 40, 50 years to simplify things ended up the methods of the physical sciences instrument for sprint posts, individuals maximize themselves and build up and show how individuals might collaborate. you can get pretty far attack, but i don't think all the way. and i both explain why you need to see evolutionists working on multiple levels. she commuters genes, individuals are individuals and groups with groups. but the idea that groups compete with groups and we are defending the winning troops has been a heresy in scientific circles the 1960s. very few evolution theorists will talk about that. ve

jeremy hunt testified on his relationship with the culture secretary and the special advisor adam smith. the opposition claims the relationship was improper and biased towards news corp. this is just over 30 minutes. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> i am sure the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to sapper connor ray, of 33 engineer regiment (explosive ordnance disposal), who died on wednesday 18 april from wounds that he sustained in afghanistan. he was described by all who served with him as a superb soldier. his dedication and his courage will never be forgotten, and we send our condolences to his family and his loved ones. this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house i shall have further such meetings later today. >> i associate myself with the prime minister's tribute to sapper connor ray and, in doing so, ask my right honorable friend whether he will confirm that, although british servicemen and women are scheduled to leave afghanistan in 2014, the actual pace of withdrawal will be determined first and

if you go back in the history of economics, go back and look at adam smith they didn't even use the word incentive, and yet today to open up an economic textbook, one of the first claims the students would come to is that economics is fundamentally about incentives and this isn't actually a new thing and it reflects the increase in addition of economics and of economists for their subject which is really something that's coming in the last few decades, the same period that we are discussing of the market triumphalism. i went back and looked at paul samuelson's introductory economics textbook in the late 50's. the was the most influential textbook in the 50's and the 60's. he defined economics as being about traditional economic subjects, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, foreign trade, stocks, that kind of thing. that increasingly economics is being defined as say science of everything and that is where the language of incentives and incentivizing comes in and it's not restrictive to the economic textbooks, this language as you mentioned as now defined in corporate life, you find

language of incentives, and now this new term "insent -- "incentivize" and go back to early economics, adam smith, they never used the word "incentives," and if you open up an economics books, # one of the first claims students came to is that economics is fundamentally about incentives. it's the science of incentives, and this is an actual thing, and it reflects the increased ambition of economics and of economists for their subject which is really something that's coming in the last few decades, the same period of time we're discussing. market triumphantism. i looked at paul samuelson's introductory economic textbook. in the late 1960s, that was the most influential textbooks, and he described economics as traditional economic subjects -- inflation, unemployment, interest rates, foreign trade, stocks and bonds, that kind of thing, but increasingly, economics is being defined as a science of everything, and that's where the language of incentives and incentivizing comes in, and it's not restricted to economic textbooks. this language, as you mentioned, is now you find it in corporate life. you f

we are programmed to follow the leader, the mechanism where adam smith showed us how these invisible hand can do this better. just doesn't, maybe it makes sense to you, but it doesn't make sense to most americans. i do these pieces, which tried to explain to people, and andrea rich are sitting over here, runs a charity who gives and the high school student to so at least we can introduce these ideas, and i support do i hope you'll supporter, give her your card. but it is an uphill climb. and i see this again and again. one example of the success of private markets is in south america. i mean, the basket case that is in central and south america. one country is doing quite well, that's chilly. the biggest reason is because this guy named josÉ tenure, the finance minister, created private social security accounts. so instead of trusting the government to give you money, everybody has a little savings book and they can watch the money appreciate and it makes them think about their own money and investment to answer this simple innovation, chile has prospered. and i give president bush c

yesterday, congressman adam smith came on our program and talk about the defense budget.video clip] guest: the defense budget has doubled since 2002, ended doubled in response to 9/11. there is no question about that. the threat is and was very real. without question, there is no question the defense budget could be brought under control. it doubled. over the next 10 years, we can find savings. the president proposed nearly $500 billion in reductions. that is something i said i support. i think that is appropriate. we can build a strategy to protect us within that number. we need to look for savings anywhere we can. host: chairman mckeon, your response? guest: when adam smith is talking about the budget having doubled, inflation has accounted for a lot of that, and because they kept the war expenses outside of the budget, that is also a big part of that. we passed the actual budget, and on top of that, we paid for the war effort. that has been running -- when we were fighting in both iraq and afghanistan -- about $150 billion a year. we know that is going away over the fu
