i thought they would draw a latino district in dallas and fort worth to avoid a lawsuit, but also to shore up a lot of their members at pushing them out from the suburbs. instead, the republicans and texas have gone one step over which could expose them to a suit that could do away with the map. >> michael, do you expect many plants at the congressional level to be ultimately written by judges? if so, is there an opening for the public mapping-kind of activities to have an influence at that stage? >> courts prefer not to get involved in the redistricting process. their first instinct when there is a constitutional defect with a redistricting plan is to have redistricting authority to try again. here we have identified these errors. you have a chance now to rectify those errors. however, you could have a map taken from the court, ideas taken from the public. those will probably be put back to the legislature to fix, if there are issues to be fixed that were discovered. some more like virginia or new york where you have a divided state government and you cannot get a congressional plan

fort worth, texas, on the republican line. caller: i was wondering why we just cannot raise the debt ceiling and not pay everybody their taxes for like the next five years. do not do any refunds. how does the constitution handle that as far as tax refunds? does it say that they have to give us refunds? guest: if, hypothetically, we did not raise the debt ceiling and come to a resolution, would you still get refunds on taxes that we have paid? a lot of these legal issues about what happened exactly as we had these limits have yet to be resolved. there are a lot of the obscure treasury regulations looking anthology's technical questions about what exactly will happen. if we have some kind of crisis, everyone will want this to end. the islamic previous government shutdowns look like nothing. it will get resolved one way or another. it and what happens that we, that future to our borrowing costs. host: next caller. caller: thank you. we have a radical group of republicans that have been working for years and years in the congress

host: fort worth, texas is next. caller: thank you for taking my call. twice now, the governor has said that we need to get rid of the fee-for-service system, but our doctors not supposed to walk for a fee? it is easy for the dirty politicians to demonize physicians who work the very best, but what about the nurses, janitors, orderly's? there is a lot that goes in to health care and taking away the fee-for-service to not pay salaries will not be the answer? guest: i did not say lower salaries. i say we are not paying enough. we are wasting our money on an insurance company profits, an extraordinarily inefficient duplicative system, and a system that provides a system or a date are being second guessed by the insurance companies. i have not said one negative thing about the people who deliver services in vermont. we have the best quality system in the country, one of them. the challenges are that these small, rural providers are primary health-care providers who cannot survive in the payment system design that we currently have in america. they are not ge

i think it is significant in the dallas and fort worth area. also drawing a 70% district. that community has been split seven different ways under the republican proposal. that is clearly to elect republicans in suburban dallas and deny a democrat a seat in that central urban area. you can make the case that you could draw additional seats in houston although there is question whether there would be over a citizen voting age population. it can certainly draw a latino majority district without splitting the county's 60 for ways as has been done. it is the map wade thought republicans might draw with one exception. i did think they were going to draw the district. not only to avoid a lawsuit, but also to shore up a lot of their members. republicans have gone one step further. that opens them up to a suit that could dismantle part of the map if not all of it. >> one last question. which is do you expect plans at the congressional level to be ultimately written by judges. is there an opening for the public mapping to have some influence at that stage? >> the court prefer not t

. >> alisyn: next e-mail is from joe in fort worth, texas.or the shattered dreams segment. it's the perfect name for my situation. bob, i have been given so many different opinions about filing bankruptcy. everyone i listen to has different opinions. how do i know what i should do? >> there is too much of a hustle out there with a lot of commercials on television with lawyers advertising on we could save your home from bankruptcy, with a bankruptcy, we could do this, we can do that. first of all, it's absolutely true under certain circumstances, bankruptcies absolutely play a very important role on trying to save your home. the best thing you can do is -- this is certainly not a commentary on lawyers that advertise on television because they're allowed to and there is many competent lawyers that do -- but you need to get a couple of different opinions from competent lawyers to where you fit in that grid. should you file chapter 7? should you file chapter 13? don't listen to all these little lawyers running all over the country that are nonlaw

maps that would add another district that would elect the candidate choice of lack voters in the fort wortharea. it would not be majority black but it would be a combination of black and latino voters that would elect the candidates. so that is kind of what is at stake in the litigation of the voting rights act. but there are other types of legal claims being filed in texas as well. >> david, how did they do it? that is, what are those -- what do those maps look like, whereby some republican gains were realized and a potential latino district was not created. where is the action? >> well, i could play weatherman all day with a map if we had it, but you might be better off asking an abstract artist to decipher what the texas draft looks like on the republican side. .. and, deny democrats a seat in that central urban area. you can also make the case that you could draw additional latino-majority seats in houston although there is some dispute every whether the two houston seats that would result would be over a citizen voting age population latino but you could certainly also draw a new latin

host: next up is fort worth, a democrat. caller: your comparison of trade agreements between the states and the trade agreements between other countries does not make an ounce of sense because we live in the united states and what these companies have done it is at last the united states and then come back to us using cheaper labor. how in the world is that fair? it is just frustrating to me to see that you are sitting there talking about how good freed trade is for us when 300 million of us cannot buy anything in this country for our households made in the united states or very rarely. he would have to search for days just to find a coffee pot. how do you justify comparing the two things between the states and other countries? besides that, this thing is just frustrating to me. how people like you can sit there and talk like this. the only trade agreements that we have made it that made any sense was nafta, between north america, canada, mexico, and south america in our own time zone. the rest of it does not make any kind o

as the mayor of fort worth i had to balance the city's budget and as the mother of three i had to balance the household budget. what is the same about every budget i've balanced is that there was never any choice. there were very serious consequences for not being fiscally responsible, whether it was in my business, at city hall or at home. most americans had the same experience i had. we all sit around the kitchen table and figure out how to make ends meet and then we ask, why can't washington do the same thing? families and businesses have to balance their budgets every single day. it's only right that the federal government, with $14.3 trillion in debt, should finally have to do what all americans already do. but when washington is asked to balance a budget for the american people this seems to be too tall an order. washington could learn a thing or two from the women in congress. $10.-- 10.6 million businesses owned in the united states are owned by women. and women now make up the majority of the work force. we're the leaders of fortune 500 companies, but as we've taken even greater

as a matter of fact, on monday, i had the ceo of dallas-fort worth airport fly in with the senior staff to tell us they are happy working with tsa and they wanted to volunteer for my projects they could have, that we worked with them on it. in terms of how the relationship of their airports and working with authorities, it varies across the country, but there's a lot of work in all these reports to get a tool that will enable them to do the best, most optimal security assessment and reports and ways forward for each of the airports. >> well, then it seems to me you told me you want a nimble approach. maybe charlotte needs more tlc and maybe that's what you need to look at. you're getting an individualized plan, so make sure that you're elevating that to an individual plan as well. you know, be careful what you ask for there, okay? just because somebody is complying -- for example, as a teacher, a teacher only is asking you to repeat what they want you to. doesn't tell you about the knowledge, about the student. you have to go a little bit further sometimes, and that's the case i'm looki
