financial institutions, you don't want people running the muck but we have laws and the problem with dodd-frank was that it was put in place to keep big banks under control. it wasn't put in place to kill little banks, what it did the compliance costs are so high, the major banks lobbied for this, they got the -- the asset level at which dodd-frank applies taken very low, it's supposed 50 million, it was allow amount. billion. and so we've lost 1600 community banks and all we've done is make bank of america, morgan stanley, all we have done is make banks stronger than they were. regulations, the economy is like a balloon, you push in some place and pop out some place else. the problem with government regulations is government is very bad at anticipating where things are going to pop out so if there's conduct you need to stop and it's fairly freight forward you should do something to stop it otherwise you have to leave system alone. nobody read it, nobody reads u nobody understands it, the thing is this thick. government regulation, there's a place for it, there's a need for it in certain instan

that and a couple other reasons, dodd frank, dynamics, may make out, if i can win come a would be pretty -- a pretty big honor to serve. a different way to defend the constitution than i ever thought i would get a chance to do. we put together a campaign where the manufacturing companies, we did not have a full marketing department. but we had a marketing firm. a young lady, probably 15, 20 years younger than me. good at connecting with all the ways to do media and everything. she came on to help do the marketing piece. she is not a republican, she has never worked on a political campaign care we didn't like we were launching a product. only the uncomfortable part was i was the product.

[laughter] rep. davidson: plenty of rules though. having an engaged in politics, i remember your race, getting phone calls with people saying you were the guy we needed to get behind. see boehner and so much of the washington establishment mobilize against you, i guy who had not been a politic -- been in politics for a wild, th

the law of, unless and until the trump administration gets rid of dodd-frank, dodd-frank makes it difficultdo, let's call them naked bailouts. neil: right. >> where you give money to companies to let them live. dodd-frank requires basically if you do bailouts you can only pay for funeral expenses. you can't pay the hospital bill. neil: you're right. i know that is the argument but i can't help but we're in the middle after free fall in the market, i remember the financial issues torpedoing bear stearns -- >> that was scary. neil: that was the capital shrinking fast. no matter what cash you have on hand, it will not compensate for cash you're losing hand over fist on wall street, right? >> i agree with that, but kind of the question is, should you allow -- let's say somebody gets in big trouble and it spreads to a bunch of other firms and threatening to bring down the whole system the way that it did at the end of 2008. neil: yeah. >> the question of should you give money to a firm, let that firm live to, see another day, or should you give money to somebody else to buy that firm and break i

be slow banks can't lend out all the money that's available with all the rules and regulations from dodd frank so it's going to be slow going for a while people are going to have to start buying homes that have already been lived in and the new host housing starts will slow down unless there's a custom home and they're going to be getting their own financing before we go let me ask you this question we know that the federal reserve is poised to raise interest rates you know but the bets are like ninety percent they're going to raise in september is now the time homebuyer i should you know go ahead and strike while the iron is not too hot. right everybody says the shyest wait until next year maybe inventory will be better yeah but it's going to cost you more so my expectation what i've figured out in the market is that every time the fed talks just say that there's going to be a quarter of a percent hit to the interest rates so that house is now going to cost you maybe six percent next year in interest where right now it's hovering around the four point seven five five percent so you woul

different bills we passed like the dodd frank bill where it's our attempt to try to clean up the conflict minerals. but. the reality is just as i mentioned before you know when we try and crew bring our solutions i do have solutions that often just don't match with with the reality of the grown so so we're often left with a problem that's bigger than it was with where it started and it will certainly have the problem again going back to the economic situation we have these minerals that are very valuable and they're being utilized by us every day it's actually right to say that we know that the various minerals that we're talking about they end up in our appliances or electronics. you know diamonds and gold obviously have value so says she we are playing in. so the conflict without being aware of plants that conflict yeah i mean that's true and i think a hot topic is you know we can use the electronics like colton is is largely mined in the congo and that's inside of our cell phones so i think we. we often look at end user responsibility how involved are we can can is buying a and i phone

make it is important to have regulation that we already have laws something like dodd frank put in place but the compliance costs arele so high because the major banks lobbied for this the asset level is very low it is supposed to be 50 million it was just a little amount. so we lost 1600 community banks and just need the bank ofalne america and those much stronger. the economy is like a balloon you push it in some places will pop out someplace else. they are always bad to anticipate where that will pop out. that is straightforward do something to stop it otherwise leave the system alone. nobody reads that or understand that. when then to understand those paragraphs. the government regulation there is a place for it. it should be as limited but as much ase possible. >> i would like to address the millennial - me to.
