i have to wonder, and senator daschle, if you are not a dying breed.are not a memory of a rosier time when american politics worked and you could get things done in this country. senator daschle: we probably are a memory. what we are talking about is the blueprint, the future. it won't bs, personally, but it be us, it won't personally, but it will be these ideas. a leadership that will recognize that without quality governance survive as acannot strong democratic republic. we have to bring things back. there are lessons from history that are as applicable today as they were anytime in 200 years. toty: what the voters seem be saying, trent lott, is we don't want people like you anymore. people not spent decades in government. we don't trust you to get things done. we will go outside. senator lott: there has not been a vote cast yet. it is all about polling. let's wait to see how it turns out. i still think we could wind up with 2 incredible nominees. the process is so long, the negativity is out of control, the amount of money that causes the length of

senator daschle that's a better solution, but i don't don't like that. that's not principal, that's thrive. pride. how do we get beyond that? you make some recommendations in the book but share that with me on how we get there. how do we get over that hurdle to say and learn and let's look at best models and best practices. >> i think if you talk to elected officials in both parties in various parts of the country, they realize there are problems now. they don't and in the congress. we laid a predicate before we got to this with the suggestions we had going forward. how do you change the dynamics and move things forward? we went back and looked at history. we talked about what our founding fathers had in mind and the difficulties they went through. there are many times in our countries history where things were worse than gridlock, but then we talk about what we went through and i just sense that people are looking for a way to change the politics and the ugliness of what we have now. it won't be easy, you're right. i hadn't really thought about it in th

>> senator daschle and senator bob, thank love, thank you for joining me to talk about your new book as was described in the the opening segment. as i travel around the country and you watch the current affairs show, which i don't watch many these days, many people on sides of the aisle think there is a crisis point. however, people can say the house needs to be burned down but you actually know how to build it back and you all have been in the stomach of the beast and have had to navigate the different he goes you deal with on both sides of the aisle and so as we unfold here today and evil through this process, what we say at the outset that usually when i am on some show, i'm sitting in your chair to answer the questions. bear with me as we unravel this or peel the onion and as i went to the book i saw so many interesting things about how the data to a better chemistry into civility and how do we get things done in washington. so let me ask you at the outset, starting with you, why write about? >> guest: we write the book in part because we love the institution and want to see it c

some of it was sent to your offices, senator daschle. why is now the crisis point, senator daschle?on is we're as dysfunctional as i think we've been in 150 years, not able to pass good legislation, not able to communicate, not to coordinate with the president and congress. >> you pointed out the difficult things we had to deal with, but through it all we continued to find a way to work between a republican congress and a democrat president. >> the national debt, many argue is beyond urgent. what do you think it's going to take to get congress to actually try to reduce this crippling multi-trillion debt? >> well, the most important thing is to grow the economy. that's where the largest amount of deficit reduction potential lies. but i think we've got to do everything, all of the above. we've got to look at revenue, cuts, entitlement reform. we have to really provide the kind of leadership and the common ground construction necessary to address this issue more effectively. >> entitlements of the federal government programs are growing just exponentially whereas the discretionary spen

trent lott and tom daschle are here. they have the book "crisis point." how are you doing?olutely. >> we'll talk about the book in just a bit. it's 11 days from the iowa caucuses. i have to ask you about this race. senator lott, donald trump is fond of saying he is leading the race by a lot. what do you make of his candidacy? >> well, i'm surprised, quite frankly. it's been a very strange political year. we have a lot of outstanding candidates running across the board in the republican primary. and some have already dropped out. but for an outsider as donald trump to be running as strongly as he is is unusual and in some respects concerning. but he has tapped into frustration and anger among the constituency and it's going well for him. now, i still believe that this race is a long way from being over and decided. probably will go into march or april. but you know, when you look at donald trump and you look at bernie sanders you think what is going on with our parties? >> it's the outsiders. you have said you have a lot of great candidates but you are not a fan of ted cruz.
