they're not like fleming's a daring creations, they did not drop behind enemy lines and sort of slip the not the officers wrote in the dark. there were desk jockeys, they were the traditional kind of intelligence officers rather than frontline operatives, there were behind the scenes intelligence gatherers charged with the more pedestrian but extremely important in this case and very effective task of finding out intelligence entered on american politicians and officials and foreign in the back to their superiors in england. -- forwarding it back to their superiors in england. all this was done throughout the war from 1940 to 1945 and had a great influence not only on the course of america's involvement in the war but also in determining postwar policy and the formation of the cia or what was the oss which became the cia. it is important i think remember why this happened in the first case. many people say why did we have our allies spying on us, why did the british need to spy on us. most americans forget that in 1940 when churchill first ascent -- sent stephenson's over here to sta

host: that was congressman john fleming on the washington journal on friday. when does the site take place question mark what will we see this week? guest: i think we will see this for the next two years. -- few years. i think the republicans are trying to come up with their own plan to truly replace what obamacare does. this is really the first time they have congressman ryan, and others, congressman fleming obviously working on these issues. this is a battle for both sides. i do not think anyone really wants to give up the fight and washington. most of what we fight about here is things the two sides disagree on and can raise money for the two sides. i do not see any end to this insight. -- ins site. is inconceivable to me that someone running for president for 2016 will say, obamacare is the law of the land andd let's leave it be. i think you are starting to see some ideas coming forward that republicans think are the reasonable adjustments. by after the ball went into effect, there were adjustments that were made. there was some unintended consequences, bu

you are on with congressman john fleming. caller: good morning, congress -- congressman. i am a korean vet. i have a question. why is the senior citizens, the payments we have been getting since over obama has been president -- the first three years we get nothing, and so far we get peanuts and they keep blaming social security? with everything congress has to pay for, why are they taking it out of the elderly? i am getting a lousy $20 this year? that is a shame. that is a shame. number two, the biggest problem i am having, i have 5 1/2 years, i have a claim in with the v.a. i got mold from when i was in fort jackson. i have been trying and trying and it is a big joke. the more they start of me, the more they and up getting bonuses. -- end up getting bonuses. this is supposed to be run. it is a shame. and the veterans are really getting mad about this. we have to stop this baloney that is going on here. i hate to pick on you, but you are the only when i have gotten through to in the last six or seven months. guest: he said someone is getting benefits and he was unhappy ab

on the other side, there is republican congressman john fleming saying if they keep oklahomaland security, keep it open, the conservative base would be running. it would put congress in very, very delicate territory. matt salmos says if john boehner acts to shut it down, he will find himself on, quote, very thin ice. this is what it has been like for the last 48 hours going into the shut down. look at the headlines. gop lawmakers clash, republicans grapple with internal rifts, right? it is a fight between themselves and the white house. what it ended up being a fight between themselves and themselves. the house at last report had not come up with a way to pass the same way themselves. maybe they will find a way to pass it in three weeks and we will go through it all again. this is the latest reporting. maybe a bill in a just lasts for three weeks and then we do it again. maybe. he said that he and mitch mcconnell have not spoke nn two weeks. now we're going down to the last 24 hours and it is anyone's guess what they will do. >> we're waiting to see what the senate can or can't do. the ho

congressman fleming is working on some of those ideas.his is a battle that is an unending fundraising source. i do think anyone wants to give up the fight in washington. must of the things we fight about here is what can raise money for the two sides. i don't see any end to this insig sight. it is a preparation for 2016 so the candidates can have something they can point to. it is inconceivable to me that a candidate running for president will say obamacare is the law of the land and let us leave it be. we are starting to see some of the first ideas come forward that republicans see as a more reasonable adjustment. there were some early adjustments that were made but they were very narrow. i don't think you will see the president give on that. hillary clinton who is the democratic nomination will not yield. i think we are heading into this campaign issue again in 2016. host: good morning to eric, an independent color. aller. caller: i called to have an expedition on your side -- an explanation on your side. will would be the opposite of a

bought five or six house lots across the street from curtis hilliard and contracted architect robert fleming to build this house. when they went to tear it down it took three months because it was so solidly built. one of the things i found interesting about the five patten daughters is they were everywhere all the time and socially interchangeable. i was trying to track them down in society pages and whatever i could. the papers always included miss patton is one of the attendees or is hosting a tea. they were interchangeable. no one knew which one was which. they spread out. they would cover every event in the city on any given evening. patons became famous for their tea. you can probably guess they became spinsters and were serving tea into the 1930's. two of the sisters married. the first was a gustaugusta who married john glover. glover was the first mail to live in the house. shortly thereafter, a big feud broke out with the glovers about augusta's inheritance because she had lent him money. the sisters claimed that was her inheritance and he was claiming that was just a loan to cover

tom: so many challenges people have come a 62, mundell fleming, the keyword is impossible, when you arenternational economics, it is an impossible trinity. why are they doing this if we know when we start the exercise, it is not going to work? ian: because everybody thinks they can be ahead of the game. like when people think they are smart enough to get out in front of the crash and then they are not. you start this game and you cannot win it, but you think there is an advantage. tom: this is like dealing with children on the weekend. brendan: actually, no, this is much, much easier than dealing with children on the weekend but what is missing on the chart is quantitative easing. the term "currency wars" was coined by monday to looking at the u.s. ian: when you do qe, you look at the effects it will have a long-term interest rates. tom: to the brazilian points you've got a flow mechanism and a rate mechanism. is the next step capital controls, for example, a la greece? ian: when you bet back to 1997 1998, the countries that did that's like malaysia imposed capital controls which horrif
