dairy in bloomington, illinois. >> caller: hey, how are you? mr. rove, it's nice to talk to you. >> host: please go ahead, dairy. >> caller: do you believe the executive branch has a higher authority than the other branches and if so when you've been asked to go speak to the other house, to the house and senate committee and you refuse, do you think that's a bad example for any administration to set because there should be some form of transparency between these parties? >> guest: that's a good question. you actually two questions. let me divide them and take them one at a time. the first question is does the executive branch of the time of war have higher authority? i would say yes, but the constitution and practice. for example, the constitution to liberally makes clear that the president of the united states is the commander-in-chief in the military. this is to make certain there is no division between authority that had a bad experience with some of the powers of the continental congress exercised over the direction of the military so they made

host: bloomington, indiana. bud on the independent line. caller: i do not think bankers are inherently evil people. i think the lending regulations, they were relaxed, and cd of less -- and cdo's were created to bring growth to the economy. strengthening regulation will not solve the underlying problem. the underlying problem is declining incomes. unless something is done to address declining incomes, regulation will not put this economy on the right track. it has to do with economic policies. guest: i would agree with you 100%. i have never said that we need more regulation. it was my opinion -- and i look at the rules and regulations often. we had rules on the book that could have stopped this, but they were not implemented. so what you have is a circumstance where there were plenty of regulations on the vote, regulators did not have an appetite to regulate. i do believe, if you have a growing economy, you will be far better off, but you need some policing mechanism. this last episode indicates that we have nothing, and on in that realm.

[laughter] senior white house official means rham. [laughter] and reconciliation means war. only in washington. but actually, by the way, you lot didn't believe the president said he rather be with you, did you? come on, joe aren't that slow. [laughter] look, it is good to be with you. i have to admit i admire the skills required to be an anchor, a commentator, a talking head. i think he has a pretty tough job. but occasionally i am surprised by your lack of self-awareness. for example, when morris is quick to point out every time i put my foot in my mouth, at least it's my foot. [laughter] and by the way, rham was only pointing of fingers. [laughter] look
