also, george mason university has a school of conflict revolution with experts on how to get people to resolve conflict. can they not be given a contract to help the bipartisan working group or the problem-solving caucus go together in a line and solve problems for our nation? can you comment on that possibility? host: thank you for the call. i will show you the letter on polarization being reversed -- we were able to pull it up for you. guest: i appreciate the caller. i make a lot of point in my book, specifically in congress, the centrist, in many cases, have been purged from both parties. coreave a remaining small, group of people willing to work with the other side. the vast majority, and certainly the leadership in congress, is not interested in that approach at all. when i was in congress, i was a member of the two of the four centrist groups that like to work with the other side. but we have lost a lot of that. because of the issues i have brought up earlier in this conversation, we now have a congress dominated overwhelmingly by people on the extremes. yes, there are a few grou

we'll be leaving this polling place and be going nearby to george mason university. that's where democrats will be gathering tonight. right now we are going to head down to my colleague david culver. >> reporter: and, julie, i wish i could say the weather was better down here. it is not. another cold and rainy one. but folks in this particular polling place, this is a short pump area, have been coming at a good clip. this line continues now into the evening. it's interesting, i was just looking up some of the history when it comes to voters here in this region. henreico has been going bluer and bluer. if you come to this particular polling place, i notice only gillespie signs around the entire school here which is why his watch party is only held down the road from this location. but if you go to prince william county that's where we were earlier today, it was interesting to note their history. if you go back to the last general election, just last year, hillary clinton dominated that area with 20 points over what donald trump got. and if you go back to the last race

i'm joined now by the director of security law program at george mason university law school and former senior adviser to bob corker, jameel jafr, and criminal defense attorney and former cia officer jack rice. jameel, there's the issue of the film. we're talking about half a million dollars again, whether mike flynn had disclosed that, big issue here. and second of all, what happened earlier in the week, and that is the move by his legal team, jay suck low saying we didn't think this was going to happen, but don't think it's going to be against the president. where's he at, mike flynn here? >> i think it's a fair point that the white house expected that general flynn would talk to the prosecutors. but the ending of a joint defense agreement is a big deal. and i think that it does suggest that flynn is in conversations, unlike paul manafort, to make a deal with the prosecutors. the white house team has admitted as much. and that's a concern, because if he's going to make a deal, he's going to talk about everything he knows. and if there's anything for the president, that will come out.

i am a senior at george mason university.'m going to be graduating this semester and entering the workforce. how will tax reform help me at the side entering the workforce and graduating? >> representative ryan: i hope you are taking economics classes. it's a great economic department. one of the best economics departments in america. first, when you are getting out and starting off, you are starting off at a new age, a starting wage. we're lowering the tax rates on the taxpayer just like you. instead of having 25%, you go to 15 and 12% tax bracket. let you keep more money, double your standard deduction so that you have a simple system. you can fill out your taxes on a form like a postcard so you get to keep more of your money in the first place. here's the thing i think is better, and this is very, very good for millennials. we want you to have more money in your pocket to start with. what we really want to accomplish especially for our youth is a healthier economy. the problem i think we've got in the economy. this is a br

thank you mike snyder is a political analyst and professor of public policy at george mason university he joins us also from washington d.c. and we'll we'll get to their comments about asia in a moment let's go to pick up on that the roy moore discussion in the last few minutes. daughter of donald trump has been very forceful in her language condemning roy moore for the things that he has been accused of at some point. do you expect that donald trump will weigh in on this more specifically and how precarious might his position be considering there are dozens of women that accuse tem of sexual misbehavior. the president is on the spot on this issue not only because of the allegations that have been made against him in the past but also because he doesn't know what to do about more he could try to pressure more to get out of the race but more doesn't have to he doesn't have a particularly strong relationship with president trump who did not support more in the republican primary the president supported the appointed republican senator who is running to get to the seat on an elected basis

tireless together with mohamed who is a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university joining us here in doha forgive me i was getting confused with what the director was saying in my ear as i read through all of those things i thought this many process is ongoing is there a way to pull them all together because they're all achieving and i use that word loosely different things one. dynamic several shifts on various fronts for example the russians have decided to minimize or decrease their military presence in syria so as they are going to work with one. naval. force. base i mean could be considered. however this reduction in the military dynamics doesn't mean that there is less involvement i think that it is a tactical move by the russians to move from heavy military maneuvering of the conflict into some diplomatic option of a formula that could go hand in hand with the geneva process so the prospects of the syrian offer is over in the syrian conflict is moving shift whether the same time there are new friends of. the five you have the turkish front you have the iranian front

me bring in jameel jafir who is the director of the national security law and policy program at george mason. if i can pick up on exactly what pete was just saying. what are they doing right now? where's the investigative unit? who's involved in this? to find out are other people potentially involved in this. >> chris, that's a great question. the joint terrorism task force in new york is probably bringing together all the various agen agencies in the area, the prosecutors, looking at his phone, his devices, the foreign intelligence records to see if there's any surveillance of him. as pete says, talking to foreign terrorists overseas. congress has to reauthorize the foreign intelligence surveillance act collection progress that expired at the end of the year and there's some bad proposals in the house that would limit the ability of law enforcement to share information so we should really be concerned here and the president think, you know, is talking about the immigration part, but he should also be talking about surveillance and the importance of how you protect the homeland with surveill

and let's bring in jamil javer from george mason university school of law and frank figlussy. and kick us off with this. when we look at the reporting out of nbc, jared kushner is saying he's been consistent. it appears based on this reporting that he has not been consistent because he did have an outreach from an individual that had ties as i alleged -- as i should say to organized crime asking for a meeting with donald trump. that was not disclosed. >> yes, richard, a lot of times when lawyers respond to document production requests, they seek to narrow the scope of the production by interpreting what they are asked for in different ways. and so when you write back and return documents, you send a letter saying i understand your request to be for x and here are the documents so the judiciary committee came back and say you interpret this way and we meant it the following way and we want these additional documents and you need to deliver them to us. and that is what is going on. this is typical back and forth in investigations and litigation where the lawyers go back and fort

analysis done by the congressional budget office, which is headed by a conservative economist from george mason university in virginia. it's not a liberal bunch, the cbo. the cbo has said this bill is particularly hard on the poor. it dramatically increases the deficit. it will lead to millions of people falling into the ranks of the uninsured. it has a number of provisions that are particularly harmful to virginia. why are we doing it this way? why? we had a press conference this morning. 16 democrats and one republican. we stood up together. there were former governors, former tax commissioners, former insurance commissioners. every one of us -- every one of us have worked significantly on bipartisan reforms. i've done nonpartisan tax reform as a mayor in a nonpartisan city council. i've done bipartisan tax reform as a governor with two republican legislatures. my colleagues are in the same position. we stood up and we said there's no room for us here. we've not been consulted. our ideas to the extent we've offered them have been ignored. what are you afraid of th? that we'll make it better?

so-called deescalation zones inside syria or mohamad chatah is a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university he joined us on the news hour earlier and said the agreement in russia actually raises complications for the next geneva talks. the question we should ask is what influence or what the real power mr de mistura has in bringing an twistin some using all the possibility towards the same time we have. or the meeting that becomes like a precondition step before geneva at the same time and the other question that we also should we should also entertain is how far the russians the turks and the iranians are helping the geneva process so unfortunately the geneva process is. being challenged more and more because we have four major crises within one we have the political crisis about syria and who should with that . should remain in power or not you have the humanitarian crisis half of the put it population is i.d.p.'s or even here is that unknown about half a million of casualties then you have the security crisis that is now being here out of the by all of the regional and interna
