david, you just have it wrong economically. it is the same mistake the conservatives made, the same old conservetive party of the 1930's, 1980's, and 1990's. >> every business leader thinks we have it right. let me tell you where i think we should start. we should start with welfare. under this government there are five million people out of work and related benefits. there are people who could work who would train and offer work. we should say if our country, if you don't accept work, you can't go on claiming bits. that's something labour has left us with this terrible amess. as we try to get public spending under control, let's start with people who can work, who are offered work, but who don't take it. >> let's move beyond political point scoring. >> we are not as a nation be able to balance the books. we are not going to be able to fill the back black hole in our public finances unless we do it with fairness. people aren't going to accept these difficult decisions unless we do it fairly. that's what i think acome anying the

i know david petraeus used that formulation today. but what's involved here is a pretty common, which is you have recently educated affluent people this guy had an mba, who are radicalized. and it's not that they are lone wolves in the way a crazy killer say lone wolf. they are part of an ideaological system. and so it is the same ideaological stming whether it is there or here. so to see them as aly wolf as sky cosis when it is ide ideaology t is a mistake. >> what do you see. >> i think that-- i'm fascinated and miss at this find by somebody-- mystified by somebody who apparently did buy into the american dream. came here, did all the things that one does as an aspiring american, new american. goes to school, gets. mba. married, family. and something clicked. i mean whether, in fact, this was the manchurian candidate three or four years later. the common denominator is the islamic cleric al -laki, i guess. but he had that connection and he was sort of the sponsor, the ideaological sponsor, if you would. and spiritual councillor to t

david is not answering the question.e has a coalition for cut on child tax credits that will cut them for the future. that is not the way to deal with the problem. you cannot solve the problem by taking away all the advances we have made. >> i just think people will see straight for that as an attempt to try and frighten people. i have two children. my eldest is at a state school in london. i want every penny of the education budget to follow children like mine across the playground and into the school. i say after 13 years of a labour government, there is a lot of ways we can cut out. there is the fact that had teachers get four thousand pages of information every year. the department of children schools and families spend 3 million pounds, including a massaged sweet and contemplation room. we do not need those sorts of things. cut the waste and get the money into the classroom, and stop trying to frighten people. >> of course, gordon brown is right -- i do not know what they want to cut the school building program. for

and i've asked david and nick questions all evening, david has not been able to confirm that it is the case that inheritance tax will go to the richest people in the country. i believe that he's planning to cut the schools' budget and he hasn't denied it. i believe also that child tax credits will be cut by both parties if they came into a coalition. i believe that policing would be at risk from a conservative government because they have not said that they would match us on policing either. and the health service guarantees that we have that gives every cancer patient the right to see a specialist within two weeks, that would be scrapped by the conservative government if they came into power. now, i don't like having to do this but i've got to tell you that things are too important to be left to risky policies under these two people. they are not ready for government because they have not thought through their policies. we are desperate to get this country through the recession and into the recovery and that is what i intend to continue to do but it's up to the people to decide and it

david? >> i look forward to that. in the meantime, jeremy vine on labour's share performance of the vote. historically, from number 10. >> yes, from our own interior of the stairwell at number at the point. let me make my way up the stairs. they had the portraits against the staircase. we're going to look up and see in context grown's performance in terms of share of the vote compared to other labour leaders. so, for example, we have atley 1945. 47.7% of the vote. 146 seat majority. the majority is written underneath the pictures. nearly 50% of the vote. that's because the liberals were not really at the races at this stage in british politics. then 1964. hal wilson, 44%. a much smaller majority here. big percentages slips below 40 in february, '74. harold wilson as you can see 37.2. and harold wilson below 40%. 39.3. and he gets a very, very slender 3-seat majority. and it looking as if labour's vote share is drifting away. you have jim callahan, 1979. 36.9% of the vote. and them you get in

david cameron said it was not going to be easy.ne of the dangers of liberal cabinet.s are the canad >> traditionally, what often happens is the smaller parties gets crowded out by political events. that is why it is again that the liberal democrats are of five cabinet members. nick clegg knees to make sure he is not crowded out brita nick like will no longer be able to ask the prime minister questions on the country. he will have to be offering them every now and then. we will no longer be having a three-way discussion. the danger is the liberal de arquette may find it difficult. what happens if they want to develop new policy that is different from government coalitions? how did they go out and campaign on that? how did the conservatives stand against each other? there are all sorts of issues that we have not had to consider in this country for almost a century. we are not had to consider in the broad television age. we are entering some fascinating new territory. >> thank you. during the campaign, every politician was promising c

david, how do you see specter race? >> it doesn't feel good for specter, i would say. if you're part of the old system it's probably not a good year for you. if you're using some of the old tactics, probably not a good year to use those tactics. so somebody doing politics for a long period of time is used to certain ways of doing things and this is sort of wrong year to be used to those ways. >> lehrer: would you add or subtract to that? >> i would add that arlen specter is a remarkable 80-year-old man. he has the energy of somebody one-half of his age. he is relentless. i agree with david, that the polls have it both ways--. >> lehrer: it's been going back and forth. >> it's been going back and forth. the problem for arlen specter is he's won five times statewide. if you're undecided at this point, you're not undecided about arlep specter. the question is who turns out on tuesday? because there isn't a lot of enthusiasm and intensity. if there's a big turnout, i don't think it looks well for him-- he being arlen specter. jim, it's a classic bargain. this is not love b

i guess i david donnell bennett and michael calabrese. both are members of the spectrum community and mr. calabrese is also the director of the wireless future program at the new america foundation. he's a lawyer and mr. donovan is also a voyeur and president of the association for maximum service television, so you get an idea of where they're coming from. gentlemen, recently on this program, ftc chair julius genachowski was on as with marty cooper, founder of the cell phones and both had something to say about the spectrum and efficiency. >> we are going to need to find ways to look at spectrum policy to encourage more efficient use of spectrum. there are policies like potentially secondary licensing the spectrum, were spectrum flexibility that will encourage the private market family to more efficient use of spectrum. >> the solution to the spectrum problem is not redistributing the spectrum. it's not taking spectrum away from one entity. it's not even sharing the spectrum. it is in fact creating new capacity, in effect, creating new s

i disagree with david on this. people do look to the president. and i would say the difference in the 19th century is that james buchanan faced with seven states ceding from the union and abraham lincoln, his successor. i mean he-- he was a forceful leader, took the country into war. yes, they saved the union and i think that's-- people who expect action. it isn't a question whether the president goes in himself and plugs it. nobody is talking about that. or sending some 82nd airborne in to do it. but when there are toys that come into the country with lead on them and children get sick, there is a sense of there is a responsibility for that. somebody is supposed to be protecting and defending that. the ultimate responsibility as the president himself said yesterday is with him. people will accept blunder its and temperizing and mistakes if, in fact, it is resolved successfully. but jim, this has taken all the oxygen out of the room. there is no other debate about jobs, jobs, jobs or the economy. this is it. this is a pass-fail test for the presid

. >> first off, david donovan, and secondly, michael call breeze. mr. call breeze, what is a spectrum? >> guest: well, much more commonly known as the public airwaves. it's really not a tangible thing at all, but the electromagnetic properties of the earth's atmosphere which allow the transmission of radio waves, and we call it the spectrum because it's a spectrum of frequencies that can carry, you know, basically different waves with different propagation characteristics. so some are high-frequent went si waves that carry a lot of information but not through walls or trees or over very long distances, and then there are low frequency bands such as those used by television which are considered the beach front, the very best, because those frequencies carry radio signals, you know, through multiple walls, through trees and in rural areas over very long distances. so it's a set of frequencies that are useful for communicating, and it's all owned by the american people as kind of a public resource. >> host: david donovan, anything to that definition you wo

where does that leave david cameron?he have any chance of keeping all the way to downing street? here we have downing street. at the far and is the door of number 10. he needs paving stones. here they come. each paving stone has the name of a seat on it. these are the 116 seats that the conservatives need for an overall majority in the house of commons. will the hamptons southwest, conservative for decades, tony blair took it in 1997, they need that. as you go down the street, it gets harder to win. where have the former minister standing down. can the conservatives get them? the poll suggests they come down as popular. they do not get the extra ones they need. there is an additional problem for conservatives. as they came down the street, there were a number of lib dem seats they needed to take. cornwall north. richmond park. normally, as they advance, they would be taken but the lib dem surge may protect the seats against the conservative advance. david cameron needs more labor seats to get further down in this directi

david, what's your take? >> well i think that you have to be a little bit more skeptical than that particularly if you look at actual term and what the actual key risks are for the euro project itself. surge will have credible monetary policy, you'll have the ability to keep inflation under the ecbc's control but depression under certain parts of the monetary union which have to go through a severe amount of deflation to go through competitiveness and the smaller parts of europe, particularly greece, will have to go through and then the bigger question will be, will it be able to cope with that politically as well as economically in the coming years? ultimately we think that you need to see a political union to make a monetary union successful. >> so the question is, would you settle euro? would you put more money to work in the euro, or you're avoiding it, david? >> i think that you've got get to a point right now where we're probably seeing a test that we're testing through $1.30. continuing to see the euro

david hirschmann at the u.s. chamber of commerce made that clear today. >> we're concerned for three reasons. one, it perpetuates uncertainty at a time when we need more certainty. second, it impacts businesses that had nothing to do with this crisis and will restrain credit available to them. and third, it fundamentally doesn't modernize the regulatory structure that is now 80 years old and way overdue for a comprehensive update. >> woodruff: the final bill begins taking shape when house- senate negotiations begin in earnest after memorial day. now, to help us make sense of what's in the legislation and how the final bill could affect consumers and businesses, we're joined by two financial writers greg ip is the u.s. economics editor for "the economist" magazine; and stacy-marie ishmael. she is a reporter for "the financial times." thank you both. this complicated legislation so i'm going to ask you just to take-- we're going to bite off just a few pieces of it and talk about them. first of all the mechanism tha

david cameron's rise has been meteoric. i remember when i first met him was in i guess 2005 when he was an outsider for the job of leadership of the conservative party. he was visiting nursery schools in his local constituency near oxford. i was struck then and many people have been struck by the fact of his self-confidence, his unflapability. in a way he's kind of the polar opposite of gordon brown. gordon brown, one of his problems in national leadership has been that he's not a natural communicator. he has a short temper. david cameron by contrast is a very kind of natural politician and communicator and very self-confident. i think one of the remarkable things about this coalition government, the first coalition government for 70 years in this country, is how much david cameron has been willing to give away to liberal democrats to make this work. >> brown: let's go into that. mr. cameron, we heard him say he aimed to form a proper and full coalition. now we've heard that he's appointed mr. clegg as the deputy. five memb

>> well, david, it's been december malted.everything from the gerrymandering of political districts to cable television to an internet where i can create a digital lynch mob against you to the fact that money in politics is so out of control, really our congress is a form for legalized bribery. that's really what it's come down to. so i'm worried about this. it's why i have fantasized, don't get me wrong, but that what if we could just be china for a day, i mean, just one day? you know what i mean? where we could actually, you know, authorize the right solutions, and i do think there is a sense of that on everything from the economy to environment. i don't want to be china for a second. i want my democracy to work with the same authority, focus, and stick-to-itiveness. but right now we have a system that can only produce suboptimal solutions. >> and in fact, tom, you're absolutely right. one case in point, the financial regulations, which we'll get to, but chris dodd realized bob bennett, with whom he wanted to work, the ranki

so i think david will pull it off. >> reporter: if that prediction is right, if david cameron does find to thank. ten days ago, gillian duffy went shopping for a loaf of bread in the northern english town of rochdale. there, she encountered prime minister gordon brown campaigning for votes, and disillusioned with the performance of his governing labour party, she decided to give him a piece of her mind. >> didn't say anything about the immigrants because they say -- all of these eastern europeans -- where are they flocking from? >> a million people, the british people have come into europe. there is a lot of british people staying in europe as well. >> reporter: and that's where things would have ended, had it not been for the microphone gordon brown forgot he was wearing when he got into his official car and departed the scene. >> reporter: mrs. duffy, despite later receiving a personal visit and apology from gordon brown, says she certainly won't vote for his labour party tomorrow. back in finchley and golders green, the local labour party candidate, alison moore, is trying to make su

david brooks already has. [laughter] we call his suicidal interview with the new republican this summer attempting to ingratiate himself to obama he told "the new republic" interviewer that "i don't want to sound like i am bragging, but usually when i talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better they generally don't know political philosophy better than me. this sense that obama knows better than me is what i derived from my conversation. the location was brooks' first interview from the time with a junior senator brooks goes on to say i remember distinctly an image we were sitting on his couch is i was looking at his pant leg and perfectly creased pants and thinking he will be president. [laughter] and he will be very good president. all i can say it was good for brooks career that obama was not wearing pantyhose of five when brooks allow these both the initial observations in 2009 obama was declining in the polls going from pratfall to pratfall my guess is his pants were pretty broke rankled bu

. >> brown: and we get the weekly analysis of mark shields and david brooks. >> lehrer: that's all ahead on tonight's newshour. major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> brown: b.p. engineers aimed to start siphoning oil tonight from the blown-out well in the gulf of mexico. while in washington, president obama had harsh words for the companies involved and government regulators. as oil continued spewing unabated into the gulf of mexico for the 25th day, president obama underscored the urgency to stopping the leak >> i saw firsthand the anger and frustration felt by our neighbors in the gulf. and let me tell you, it is an anger and frustration that i share as president. >> brown: he said there was blame to go around, and focused part of his criticism on the government agency charged with issuing permits to drill for oil. >> for too long, for a decad

>> thank you, david. let me go back and i want to open this up to the audience, but, one minute responses from each of you on points you made or i know you have made elsewhere which is denise, quickly, what is -- does felipe calderon need out of the visit next week? what does he want to take back. >> he wants american validation for the war on drugs. he wants a big pat on the back. he wants recognition for his boldness, his bravery, his willingness to take on organized crime, at a time in which the war on drugs is increasingly unpopular in his own country. where midway through his term, his main policy initiative is being questioned by many mexicans as the polls reveal, at a time in which it's not clear that the war on drugs is actually reducing the violence or, rather, fueling it. at a time in which his party faces increasing political competition and has not fared well. so i think felipe calderon is coming here with the hope that once president obama embraces him and says they'll right things in terms o

there is a possibility that david cameron -- david cameron could decided to ditch his liberal partners and former minority government. that is a possibility. it would be accelerated if the liberal democrats decided to significantly push key issues which the conservatives opposed. host: when david cameron and his group get assistance and support from labor, or is that even farther on the other side of the political spectrum? guest: on some issues, the labor party is closer to the conservatives than the liberal democrats. on the national security questions, especially, i think there is more common ground. it is conceivable that the labor could vote with conservatives on some measures, and you would find the liberals voted against government policy. you could have all kinds of scenarios. i would not rule out the labor department supported the government, but likely opposing them on the vast majority of matters. host: pennsylvania. to go ahead. caller: if britain is cut and services to the people, where does the money, that the queen and her family are paid in salary and a maintenance of h
