bruce bartlett conservative economist and adviser to ronald reagan said that in my opinion regulatory uncertainty is a by the business community year in and year out. we have an obligation to make sure that our regulation is good, that it keeps us safe, that it keeps our air clean, that it keeps our banks alive without quashing entrepreneurship and economic vitality. we should do that every day. but what we've heard, the ideology, this notion that regulation is the problem in our economy, is just what bruce bartlett called it, a canard. and i'm sorry that this bill has been spoiled by the antics of the republican majority. i'm thrilled that this bill includes hr 1965. at the end of the day, i mentioned reagan. reagan said, you get a lot done in washington, d.c. if you didn't care who gets the credit. there may be only one way to spell potato. but there are a lot of ways to skin a cat. if we're going to skin this cat this way, i'm okay with that. because small banks need the flexibility to go public when they should go public. because we should, for those companies who want to go publi

bartlett. >> if north korea were to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile that could carry a nuclear weapon and was capable of reaching our shores and they launched it toward our nation, what would our response be? >> well, sir, i can't speculate on that hypothetical situation. we do not assess that north korea has that capability today. but we are aware that north korea is developing both its long-range ballistic missile capabilities and it is continuing to work on its nuclear weapons capabilities. so it's a future threat we're very concerned about and the department is considering the best responses to this. >> what do you think north korea expects our response to that would be? >> congressman, i -- the way i look at this, north korea uses a coercive strategy. and they use that strategy to get concessions. first off, they will not -- i don't believe -- give up their capabilities in regard to ballistic missiles because they see that as a means to protect the regime. in regard to the coercive strategy, we've seen this cycle where they demand concessions. they don't get what t

bartlett, let me answer in two parts. first, i want to be absolutely clear that the lisbon transition strategy is still this administration's policy and still the direction in which we are headed. and that included a transition to afghan leadership throughout afghanistan by the end of 2014 and afghan responsibility for security throughout the country by the end of 2014. the u.s. and coalition at that time, we would expect would still provide some support, including train, advise, assist, and including the capacity for counterterrorism operations at that point in time. when secretary of defense and others have talked about the 2013 time frame, it is a milestone on the path and in 2013 we expect that each of the tranches of transition that are to afghan lead that were announced at lisbon will have begun so the final tranche will have begun in '13, in 2013. at that time there will be afghans in the lead for security throughout the country. but in 2014 it will be very much a mixed model. in some cases, partnered units as occu

bartlett, i'm happy to see that you are on this morning.been waiting for c-span to bring somebody with alternative views, especially from the conservative side, that does not agree with the comments -- the conservative views today. i have heard you and i have also heard dick stockton talk about some of the same economic things that you are saying about how we have gotten into the current economic problems that we have. it's good to see that you have enough intelligence, despite your party position, to acknowledge that the current conservative position of taxes just will not work. it is good to know that someone out there still has some common sense, some intelligence. i give you a lot of credit. i know that your party probably does not want you to be heard out there. saying that what we really believe in is -- and how we proceed about it now just does not work. guest: thank you for the comments. i did not really hear the question there. i no longer consider myself to be a member of the republican party. i consider myself to be an independen

all documented so would you please and october 4th, 2011, very interesting op ed written by bruce bartlett, he held senior policy roles and served on the staffs of jamp camp and ron paul. soits really interesting and i'm going to put it in and here's the opening. republicans have a problem. people are increasingly concerned about unemployment but republicans have nothing to offer them. the gop opposes additional spending and a fact favor big cuts in spending and likely lead to further layoffs and concludes by saying, in my opinion, regulatory uncertainty is invented by republicans supported by the business community year in and year out. it's a case of political opportunism. obviously, senator sessions and inhofe would disagree with this. i believe when people come to you and tell you, i wrote what you said, the impact on our lives from the epa is nothing that they've ever seen before. that's basically what you said. and i totally agree with you, that that happened in your state. i want to just say, i have never, never heard that when i go home. i haven't had one person come up to me and s

people say here in the united states and the thoughts almost please that you hear most often with bartlett going to send all our aid just don't tell us the. we're winning and the why isn't going to be listening what do we have to say here no opinion poll showed more than sixty percent of americans want their troops out of afghanistan and they want them out now so with this in mind it's going to be very hard for mr cameron and president obama compared to other on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. u.s. defense secretary leon panetta has arrived in afghanistan on an unannounced visit he's stupid meet president karzai as well as u.s. troops stationed there investigative journalist simon isaf says that despite all efforts to normalize relations u.s. soldiers as war crimes means the campaign is doomed. they will be trying to manage what i think is going to describe as a moral collapse of the of the occupation we have to remember that poor obama who opposed the war in iraq the afghan war was the good war so this latest incident following the burning of the korans

bartlett, let me insert into parts., i want to be absolutely clear that the lisbon transition strategy is still in this administration's's policy and is still the direction in which we are headed, and that includes the transition to the afghan leadership for about afghanistan by the end of 2014 and the afghan responsibility for security throughout the country by the end of 2014. the u.s. and coalition at that time we would expect would still provide some support including trimming advisement and in putting the capacity for the counterterrorism operations. at that point in time. when secretary defense and others have talked about the 2013 time frame, is a milestone on the path and in 2014, we expect that each of the charges of transitions to the afghan leader that announced of lisbon would have the guns of the final staunch would have begun sometime 2013. at that time, there will be afghans in the lead for security throughout the country, but they will not have full responsibility throughout the country in 2014. in 2013,

whoever wins that district will probably face bartlett. >> let's bring it pack to d.c. it seems like the -- back to d.c. it seems like the forgotten primary. romney barely even campaigned here. talk a little bit what's at stake here in d.c. >> with d.c. it's winner take all. so romney is expected. it's a perfect state for him. there are three things in life, death, taxes and d.c. will go democratic. so nobody in their right mind would say that romney is going to win in november, but he very well might win all the delegates. he will win all the delegates probably in d.c. because it's winner take all. the most closely watched race in d.c. will be the at large race, vincent orange, the incumbent being challenged by saco biddle, and peter shapiro and reverend olnas. if orange should lose that seat, it seems to me that people are getting fed up and they want a real change and they want to send a signal and they think that orange is part of the status quo that they want to change. >> all right. a lot going on. fox 5 political analyst mark plotkin, thank you for your insight t
