garrett's bill were to pass, how would you implement that? how will you accommodate the concerns articulated which i think our real concerns. but you look at the financial crises we have had historically that have been created by some of these things that are not expected? >> i think it is a difficult question. the costs are easier to quantify them the benefits. we struggle with that and we try as we can to quantify the benefits and discuss as fully as we can what we believe benefits will be and balance from there. >> but that is an essential part of doing analysis. you have to enumerate costs and benefits and what they are and assign values to them. as was pointed out, that is sometimes difficult to do. >> failure to act as its costs as well. i think that a cost-benefit analysis would be more useful if we did talk sometimes about if we do not act with the potential ramifications are of that if other events come to pass. >> do you have a view of how you might implement something like this in a way that would result in what is in legislation?

but of course the garrett bill is not confined in its subject matter. should we not then put that in there for all preemptions? or should we worry about preemption only a state governments are pre-empting other things? or not just talk about the new rule impact on states? >> i would answer with a very simple distinction that there are some types of preemptions that are official and some that are not. i think there was some bipartisan support for the national securities market improvement act in 1996 -- to answer a question about the reason you focus on corporate governance is because that type of preemption deals with the tighter regulation in which states internalize their costs. >> that is not what i asked you. i must say, i tell you, a lot of my colleagues, a lot of us -- people in both states rights versus national, pre-emption versus not. my sense is that for many people, the decision at one level of government that a policy should be set depends on where they are likeliest to get the outcome they want. that is perfectly reasonable. i don't think t

>> is there any way someone could weaponize -- >> i want to bring in laurie garrett, one of the expertsrought in to consult on this movie. the senior fellow for global health on the council of foreign relations. i read your opinion piece and you say part reality, part fantasy, totally possible. how totally possible is this? >> this is one of those low probability, but high consequence events sort of like imagining that a couple of guys hijack jet airliners and fly them into the world trade center or trying to imagine that somebody takes a bunch of anthrax spores and stuffs them in an envelope and mails them to senators and members of the immedia media. thing are things that can happen, how likely, we can't say. it's a gamble. we've made this picture and i really praise steven sodderberg and the team, they really made a movie that adhered as closely as possible to what we know to be scientific reality. and every step of the way, the projections into the fantasy part are based solidly on current knowledge and lot of it from epidemics i've been in. >> you told me when we were talking, you

garrett's bill were to pass, how would you implement that? how will you accommodate the concerns articulated which i think our real concerns. but you look at the financial crises we have had historically that have been created by some of these things that are not expected? >> i think it is a difficult question. the costs are easier to quantify them the benefits. we struggle with that and we try as we can to quantify the benefits and discuss as fully as we can what we believe benefits will be and balance from there. >> but that is an essential part of doing analysis. you have to enumerate costs and benefits and what they are and assign values to them. as was pointed out, that is sometimes difficult to do. >> failure to act as its costs as well. i think that a cost-benefit analysis would be more useful if we did talk sometimes about if we do not act with the potential ramifications are of that if other events come to pass. >> do you have a view of how you might implement something like this in a way that would result in what is in legislation?

what's remarkable about this as garrett pointed out, no pictures.ber when rick perry came to new york, there were cameras and pictures and everything. pizza and everything. and apparently romney just decided he wanted to have his meeting with the donald and not have all of the extra hoopla and fanfare. i think it's because mitt romney perhaps doesn't want to be seen with donald trump. >> because? >> think about it. when donald trump burst on to the scene with his flirtation of running for president, he rode the wave based on the birther lie. if you are mitt romney and you are going to -- you hope get the nomination and have to swing back to the center, how is it going to look if you have a picture standing next to king of the birthers? i'm not sure that plays well with moderates and independents. >> the final question. doesn't the president or some people you would say doesn't the president seem a cut above the candidates? >> i would say so. in your opening clips, i feel fired up. i think he has his mojo back and is coming out fighting. that's what
