the goldwater institute is a big based organization and that is where i work and we look for property rights solutions and other solutions to protect people's rights at the state level so i got involved after that decision came out he said this is horrific in the federal government is going to fail us here and failed to protect our property rights then it's time for the state to step in and do something about it. our founding fathers envisioned that that is how our system would work for the federal government failed to protect our constitutional rights, then states could use their own powers and their constitution to protect the rights. at goldwater we drafted a law and in the state law and can be passed in states nationwide and it simply says when government takes away your property rights, whether by eminent domain or by something called a regulatory taking, when they regulate your property rights, they have to pay you for it. by the way, government cannot take away your property rights for some private purpose, only for a truly public like the things we were just talking about. >>

my father's closest friend as barry goldwater and the goldwater's were very close with my parents.i worked for goldwater in capitol hill when i came to washington as a senior in high school and i'd love to barry goldwater and i loved him all the way through his life. i thought he was one of the most wonderful people i've ever met in a totally decent man. then came to love him too because he kept it -- came and lived with my parents. we would have dinner with him a lot, then then i would have dinner with barry and mother and father a lot. i met john tower through my father and very and so we struck up a conversation. he was this tiny little guy and not at all attractive. it turns out i had a major in politics and it turned out he had taught theater at this college in texas. why do you come up to the hill and will take you to the senate dining room for lunch. i was like 19. senator tower how nice and it's so great. i had worked on the hill for barry so i had been on the hill so we made the state for lunch in a day as secretary called and said actually the senators really tied up so w

general goldwater in the air force reserve who wanted really under strict it by me against north vietnam johnson wanted to be the peace candidate and won a great mandate on that. issue among a couple of others for not widening the war as he promised we seek no wider war that was a lie he foresaw a wider war he intended a wider war and he carried it out in the spring after which we bombed we dropped four times almost four times as many bombs tonnage on indochina as we had in all of world war two so and we did this against this one region of indochina largely largely in the south actually but also in the north of vietnam and in laos and vietnam which we've been part of french indochina so it was a a major crime against the peace by the united states. and speaking of this. this bombing in the overall war profiteering that occurred it strikes me that a documentary like burns's is unable to actually address a large aspect of history because the corporate sponsorship that's in place from everything from ford foundation to bank of america and other corporations almost prohibits real history fro

goldwater starts the process and it continued up until today. so there are very, very few liberal republicans in the party anymore. very, very few conservative democrats in the party anymore. >> host: that started but newt saw something else, a chance to be the majority. >> guest: yes. like reagan he realizes a lot of conservatives also democrats, a lot of conservatives, a lot of democrats are animated by populist issues, which is in its essence anti-big corporation, anti-big government which is why you can have a liberal populace can be anti-wall street and conservative populace can be antigovernment. >> host: although that his campaign. >> guest: absolutely. >> host: how is this met when he comes up initially? how does the leadership view this new guy from georgia? >> guest: they are happy to have the vote by these uncontrollable, and the bush white house despised him in the bush white house did everything they can to stop them from being elected with. the supported and madigan who was from illinois, a moderate establishment republican, and gi

senator hayden's most famous junior senator from arizona was republican barry goldwater who failed in his run for president and served 30 years in the senate. in arizona politics, the united states senate is a career, not a six-year job. but trumpism has changed everything, including arizona politics. last summer, after donald trump secured the republican nomination, i tweeted, "even if you don't have children or grandchildren, you will be asked for the rest of your life what did you do to stop donald trump." today jeff flake gave this answer. >> i have children and grandchildren to answer to. and so, mr. president, i will not be complicit. >> this was an eloquent and very, very carefully written speech. one of the most carefully written speeches i have ever seen on the senate floor. i have watched hundreds of senate speeches, most of them while sitting right there on the senate floor as a staffer. and i have never heard a senate speech where the phrase "mr. president" was inserted more definitely and carefully and pointedly than it was in this speech today by jeff flake. i have child

hundred sixty four us presidential election the american psychiatric association introduced the goldwater role declaring it an ethical to diagnose public figures without a personal examination that year a magazine had published a survey of psychiatry's views on republican candidate barry goldwater who suffered a massive defeat but there is no legal prying edition on so-called remote diagnosis and a court ruling has said mental health experts have a responsibility to speak out when they determine that someone poses a physical danger to others but the books editor dr sandy lead forensic psychiatry forensic psychiatry says the group has acted ethically. what we are doing here is assessing dangerousness dangerousness is different from diagnosis you don't need to have all the information to be able to assess dangerousness. it is about the situation rather than the individual it is about. basically. the person and the influence they have and the access to weapons that they have and we have while we are not making a diagnosis we all agree that we have seen enough to be very concerned that the pe

barry goldwater on a kind of nuke them back to the stone age richard nixon in the silent majority and some people that just vote are. they just can't stand democrats and liberals. he is traded a coalition but with all the strands is able to, his whole presidencies trying to keep that together for what they suggested reelection. he placed to win. to him it's about winning. he never left the campaign. why stop campaigning? keep running. he also gets a narcissistic feed from the crowds, and he needs that because if you read about people with malignant narcissistic disorder, they can't handle too much negativity. he's going to watch cable is going to get a boatload of negativity. but he gets his high by going to alabama and saying just the thing that will bring the house down, and basically brought racial politics in alabama on attacking the nfl player. that's donald trump, so i think he is xenophobic and race, dog whistle and is a businessman that doesn't like a lot of federal regulations because they stopped him from building some projects and he has the typical gripe of builders about,

but goldwater rejects that theory. from buffalo york. so over the years and then to the democratic party. so over the years the conservative democrat joins the republican party. did it begins to process. >> and to drive that establishment democrats. in to say but then that starts of process continuing up until today. there are few liberal republicans. >> so that started. >> so those conservatives are democrats. they are animated by populist issues added to have that liberal populist. >> the to bring that into the republican party as does reagan. initially how does the of leadership?. >> but in the of bush white house to do everything he can. as a moderate establishment. and the bush white house is apoplectic because and very much his own man. >> fried chicken and vs believe video explain that. >> that a gingrich was not from georgia but quickly assimilated. to see how easily he moves with the ' church of their. but i think culture trumps everything. over the fire that you live-in. >> sold the unrated is reelected. >> he had no coattails.

i love to read books so i've written books about reagan, goldwater, and mees, l and fuller, you name it, i've written a book about it. >> why are you a conservative? >> i believe in freedom, that's one of the reasons i'm here at freedom fest. i think they got it right when it takes to the economic issues so they're not so terribly good when it comes to the cogent issues which is why i'm a conservative and not a libertarian. >> you have another book coming out this fall, what is that? >> this is a book i've been working on where people say how long has this book taken you, i'd say about 40 years and it is my memoir looking back at the last 40 or maybe 50 years and what i've been able to be a part of in the conservative movement.>> our daughter was a press at claremont mckenna college and until teaching at catholic university by the way. both of us teaching foreign-policy, national security, we were not happy, we were not satisfied with the textbooks we saw out there. so we decided we're going to write i history of the cold war but a brief history, about 500 or or 600 page thing a some

diagnose the president's frame of mind even mental health professionals said here to what they call the goldwater rule which is part of the american psychiatric association principles of medical ethics and i'm not shell its on the ethical for physicians for psychiatry ists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined in person and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their. article health and public statements a widening crack in that wall is a right to warn an association of mental health professionals and other concerned citizens who advocate trounce removal under that twenty fifth amendment lionel mentioned on the grounds that he is psychologically unfit lionel next level of detail how does the twenty fifth amendment work how do they trigger that. ok two different ways under section four the vice president gets a majority of the cabinet and he basically goes to the congress and says this guy is a lunatic he's gone because the twenty fifth amendment deals with death removal resignation or incapacity now the drafters and by the way this was done after

this all changes so both parties operate in the state of equilibrium right up until 1964 when goldwater is the nominee of the party in san francisco and logic says they should take notes and rockefeller or somebody like that as his running mate to unify the party and help win against lbj in the fall. but then he picked the little known conservative congressman bill wilson, bill miller, did your pardon, from buffalo news work. so now it's all conservative. they hit the process of driving the republicans out of the parties over the years they go to the democratic party and begin the process of attracting the conservative democrats so john conley joins the republican party and begins the process. they drove a lot for the senate and said they couldn't win as a democrat anymore so he runs. it starts a process that continues up until today so there are very few in the party anymore. >> that started but then we saw something else, the chance to be the majority. this is why you could have a liberal populist the anti-wall street or conservative populist or antigovernment. how does the leadership

. >> it is very much in a mosh to goldwater. he felt that the conservative movement in the republican partn party have been compromised by the new deal and somebody needed to put together a blueprint on where the party at the movement got to go and that is what the conscience of the conservatism was and i think that everybody looked at the book and said this is the manifesto and so, i thought that i would honor it that way because we are facing some of the same kind of questions today that the party or the conservative movement has been compromised by the populist flair. >> you "-begin-double-quote a saying that i regret having to write this book. i regret it because it is a necessity of this kind of the american conservative movement which had been a force for good in our country and the world is lost. why is that, explain? they wanted a consistent amount and the principals had animated that for the limited government and free of individual responsibility, free trade and american leadership around the world. look at those items

especially the once proud modern conservative movement that dates back to buckley and goldwater and their like. as the dust was settling around all of us our friend charlie sykes started writing and the result is his new book, "how the right losts its mind." notice that hat, anything about that hat look familiar? the work of a longtime conservative radio host and frequent guest on this broadcast, we welcome charlie back. >> thank you. >> good luck with, first of all. it's interesting reading. it is triage, i think, of what just happened, but it happened in slow motion, and it also required a lot of people to acquiesce. >> yes, and it was a painful book for me to write. i had to step back and say, okay, how did -- what just happened? how did this happen? how did a movement i thought i understood how was it taken over by donald trump? how did it acquisce in this? how did we move into this post factual era and that's what i tried to break down, you know, the betrayal of many of the thought leaders. not all of the thought leaders but conservative media and i was part of it and had to ask toug

sayst very goldwater who it is ours, we stole it fair and square? giving back to the panama canal is one thing the jacksonians saw as idiotic and crazy. for carter, it was important enough and he could get the two thirds majority in the senate, which is very difficult. he got that through. it hurt him with jacksonians. with the iranian takeover of the u.s. embassy and carter's apparent inability to do --thing but hope of iran that iran would be nice and give it back, the failure of the hostage rescue, it was a corrosive attack on carter's standing that helped pave the way for reagan's victory. reagan knew he owed his place in office to jacksonian discontent with jimmy carter and the democratic party in the late 1970's. he wants a muscular foreign-policy, a big military buildup. waras plans to end the cold by provoking an arms race with russia that will make them go back and bankrupt them. it becomes a big problem. we have trouble in lebanon, beirut. reagan since the marines into .eirut a bomb goes off and hundreds of marines died. crisis. that is a

but by '72, goldwater went to nixon and said you lied to me and i don't back liars. that started the beginning of the end of nixon. >> all right. that's got to be the last word. before we go, i want to read this from an op-ed from "the washington post" tonight from senator flake. it says, there is a sickness in our system. and it is contagious. how many more disgrace fful -- n we witness before we are disgraced? how many more times will we see moral ambiguity in the face of shocking bigotry and shrug it off? how many more childish insults do we need to see hurled at a hostile world power before we acknowledge the danger of it? that's part of it and it's in "the washington post" this evening. we'll be right back. alright, off you go. casual fridays at buckingham palace? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. with flavors you'll love.re like new savory grilled mediterranean shrimp. and new sweet and spicy nashville hot shrimp. plus our classics like garlic shrimp scam

something that really radically separates him from other people could you mention like barry goldwaters a serious guy who had real principles and donald trump has no principles. no skrooples, no morals. he will say or do anything to advance his own interests. >> i don't think who we're seeing in donald trump right now is new. i am less optimistic that the speech is a water shed moment. i think until people speak out publicly, it is important. but symbolic. >> and fight until the end. mccain msnbc had a tough primary in the same state but he is different character. there is this question whether he'll wage on and fight. i do appreciate you ending on a pessimistic tone. trump ran as a populist and now he sides he with wall street. and later those senators attacking trump as reckless and undignified, are west wing staffers playing the role of baby sitters? and then you've heard about the russia dossier. i have a special breakdown on what the facts are. trol? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to c

barry goldwater, nuke them back to the stone age. nixon with his silent majority. some people just cannot stand democrats and liberals, so he created a lack back of a coalition. his whole presidency is trying to keep that together for what they suggested. reelection. he plays to win. to him, it is about winning. e never left the campaign. why stop campaigning? he also gets the narcissistic feed from the crowd. he needs that. when you read about people with malignant self-love and narcissistic disorder, they cannot handle too much negativity. if he is going to watch cable, he will get a boatload of the -- negativity. he gets his high by going to alabama and saying just the thing that will bring the house down and basically brought racial politics in alabama in attacking the nfl players. hat is donald trump. he is nativist, xenophobic, and race-based. dog whistles. a businessman that does not like a lot of federal regulations because they stopped him from building some projects. he has the typical gripe of builders and developers. they could've put the building up tw

the goldwater rule itself which is the ethical guideline not to diagnose a public figure in the open falls under the ethical principle that we participate in activities that promote public health and public mental health and so when silence contributes to harm to the public health, then we do have a duty to speak out and the duty to warn and the duty to protect is pervasive. >> a duty to warn generally follows individual cases. you have a patient who you believe would commit a violent crime. tony, take us inside donald trump as you know that man when he gets the news yesterday morning at 6:00 a.m. that nbc news is reporting that rex tillerson has called him a moron. >> i mean, it's almost unimaginable how enraged he must have been under those circumstances. >> that's what our reporting is now, that he was enraged. >> because the idea that such an authoritative figure in his own administration, a guy that claims to prize loyalty, has none of it towards other people but he expects it from other people, and a combination of circumstances had to have put him at a very -- this is when he

those in the american department of defense goldwater said its took 10 years to internalized those new laws to be reflected but this was a massive challenge of the stovepipes with us similar types of competitions and i would they get day? summary for more accountability than change bin needs to be more active on those borders than those to instructions from the top and those-- other top commanders. this is probably not what you get out of most to a newspaper stories that china is on the march with a tremendous risk and to take that pre-emptive action to redress that change coming at us do you have comments on that? either of you?. >> so with personnel i agree with you it is critical but we can see who lives and who isn't but that doesn't tell us about where those people are and what their role will be and how much they are trusted hearing rumors that they have hady problems with xi jinping beyond a the corruption issues. withld of pla and would be interested in with that deep military though i veba pla takes very seriously for national security in terms of fighting a real war and those

he views himself and has the right to view himself as the heir to barry goldwater, very conservative record when it comes to spending and conservative issues. you quote juliette trent lott the former majority leader who had some problems in his party. can the gop survive the trump presidency? the solution for conservatives is to stay in trump's republican party, not walk away. you don't complain there's not room for you in the party. you make room. that is one of the big conversations today. if corker and flake believe it's so important to fight trumpism, why not wage a campaign for the next year and a half, why not fight in the primaries and try to win those primaries and say see, mr. president, i'm right, you're wrong. >> i heard this over and over again yesterday to people saying the solution for people who view themselves as not moderate republicans but traditional conservatives people who may support legal immigration who may support limited government who may be fiscal conservatives is to stay to prove to donald trump and to steve bannon they are essentially renting this party,

obviously that title, sharing from arizona, barry goldwater who, after he lost the race did stay in the senate for many, many years afterwards and ran again. i guess that's the criticism, is why not run if you're standing up on principle? >> these lawmakers are making the decision that this is not a productive place for them to be but it does, what we've been talking about here and what we've seen today, it does speak to the divide in the party which are not good to get worked out today, and how does this white house figured a way to work with the senate while also, it's trying to advance candidates that they see as being on their agenda. >> next up, we have some new information, breaking news, it may be who paid for that trump dossier. approaching medicare eligibility? don't put off checking out your medicare options until 65. now is a good time to get the ball rolling. medicare only covers about eighty percent of part b medical costs. the rest is up to you. that's where aarp medicare supplement insurance plans insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company come in. like all standardize

ever since barry goldwater, an essential element, movement in conservative and republican politics.he difference, up until recently most conservatives and republicans at least maintain add pretense and some genuine there was a civic rationale. wanted to reform the mainstream media. >> more conservative voices or -- >> exactly. >> that's a different conversation. >> that is not what matt boyle and a lot of his colleagues, compatriots and the new media are talking about. they dropped the pretense saying, no. we don't want to make the mainstream media better. we want to get rid of the mainstream media and non-partisan journalism. >> that's the goal here, what i took away from this, reading your piece. this harkening back to the 19th century. >> yeah. >> the 19th century press was pruty ugly, disgusting and basically hardly usable. >> yeah. >> ask any historian. >> absolutely. this was the amazing thing. it's not just matt boyle. not just breitbart. i talk to conservatives who are at, some much more credible news -- >> and frequently we have on the show. >> a smart guy. operating in goo

senator barry goldwater, the gold conservative marched to the white house and said to the president ofnited states, you must resign. low and behold, a day later the president of the united states resigned because of his conduct. we need to see a republican party that is open to the truth wherever it leads and let's see what happens. let this investigation proceed without trying to smear it. >> one more example of this fox effective if i can call it that. let me show a brand new nbc washington journal poll out this morning showing president trump with a 38% approval rating, his lowest standing yet. i'm more interested in this other poll showing trump at 38%, a fox news poll, but if you blinked, you missed it. they only showed this graphic once on air all week long. they spent a lot of money conducting this poll and cnn covered fox's poll four times as much as as fox did. bruce, your reaction? >> your earlier video was extraordinarily interesting. i think sometimes we get the cause and effect relationship backwards. we think, oh, we see this hillary nonstory about uranium. we think the w

remember, john mccain comes from goldwater, arizona. from an it ration of conservatism that's revolutionary in his time and what he is saying to his party is that that strain of conservatism, which, by the way, raised alarm bells back in the 1960s is a truer and more patriotic train than the brand he is seeing now. i think republicans whether or not they agree with him would do very well to heeding his message. >> jim, john mccain who has tried to work on immigration reform in the past, talked about that this need for some people to try to find scapegoats rather than solve problems. >> which is a continuity hit in the career. coming back from vietnam as a p.o.w. he was an early leader trying to reconcile divisions in the united states and vietnam and the united states and i think again significant. senator corker not running again has taken a stand. john mccain facing mortality taken a stand. question is what it will take for other republicans to be able to speak the two men have. >> and what does it mean coming down to votes in the sen

he learned it by watching barry goldwater get attacked by republicans leading to a liberal landslide in 1964. my whole career has been focused on how do i elect more republicans not how do i cannibalize republicans. i think bannon is going to spend enormous amount of money on the wrong targets in the wrong way. we need to focus on let's beat the democrats who vote no. let's not go out and pick fights with republicans. >> martha: in fact, mitch mcconnell reminded him of that today. he went through a laundry list of people like todd achin', christine o'donnell, murdock. he mentioned a number of them. sort of saying, you know, let's learn from the lessons of the past. you know, remember, martha if we had the four seats thrown away by running candidates that couldn't be elected we would be at 56 vote majority. if we had a 56 vote majority we would have passed the repeal of obamacare. so i think the goal here should be i know people focus on the three republican no votes. two of them can't be beat in 2018. because two of them aren't running and susan collins is going to get reelected. the

buckley and barry goldwater taught, what is conservatism? it is the house of competing values that they confusing to order and liberty. i also think we need to go back to first principles like, for example, let's make sure we do no harm. remember why the constitution was written the way it was. it was not written so that one party could get everything it wanted to. process matters. the rule of law matters. respect for the rule of law matters. it would be great if we could get back to a moment when we hold each other to the same standards as opposed to this world we live in now will be a complete moral relativism, where everybody switches the standards depending on whose ox is being gored. i wish we could go back to that. i frankly think if there's a diagram between liberals and conservatives, the overlapping, the points of agreement of a small but very, very important. things like truth, the rule of law, the importance of the balance of power, all of those things, to keep our democracy intact. also to realize that we don't actually need to k

of the house, republican leader of the senate, the previous republican presidential nominee barry goldwater trooped up to the oval office and told president nixon, you're going to be impeached before. just in case you feel like hanging on for a senate trial, you have ten senators, maybe. and despite that t fact that unlike donald trump, nixon had a lot of long-time friends in the senate who owed him. >> michael, we have been, i think -- we have learned over time, and not just in modern times, but particularly in modern times people have a hard time listening across-party line. >> for sure. >> that people can't absorb and hear criticism of people from the opposite party. that's why a republican criticizing a republican is something that can be seen so powerful. it's seen as something that can open the gate, give permission to other republicans, to their peers to do the same thing. does the pairing of this criticism with quitting mean that that door may not open as far for republicans who have no intention of leaving the senate like corker and flake are? >> absolutely. and i guarantee you the

it was when barry goldwater and republicans turned on nixon that it began to be the beginning of theuestion is, is it just a group of three right now or can this become a group of seven or ten? and, remember, jeff flake is going to be there when the russian investigation is concluded, and what will his voice be? will a lot of republicans start trying to donald trump donald trump out of office with the idea that vice president pence would be better? i think it's very dramatic, but short term donald trump must feel good today. two people he considered an enemy, you know, corker and flake, are in the words of as you said, sarah palin and breitbart, they're broken. >> i want to play some sound from senator bob corker because we haven't heard from him this hour and his remarks today were rather surprising. manu raju caught him in the halls of the senate. and senator bob corker, republican of tennessee, not running for re-election. whi well, he did not hold back. >> the president has great difficulty with the truth. i don't know why he lowers himself to such a low, low standard, the debase

very goldwater, nuke them back to the stone age. richard nixon and his silent majority. and some people who just wrote cannot stand democrats and liberals, so he traded a wack -pack of a coalition. but with all these, his whole presidency is trying to keep that together for what they suggested. reelection. he plays to win. for him it is about winning. , he never left the campaign. why stop campaigning? keep running. he also gets that nurses stick -- narcissistic feed from the crowd. when you read about people with malignant self-love and narcissistic disorder, they cannot take much negativity. he is going to watch cable and get a boatload of negativity. he gets his high by going to alabama and saying just the thing that will bring the house down and basically brought racial politics into alabama attacking the nfl players. , that is donald trump. so i think he is nativist, xena phobic, -- xenophobic, and that was dog whistles. a businessman who does not like a lot of federal regulation because they stopped him from building projects, and he has the typical right of builde

answer your question as for the diagnosis no all authors were asked to keep with what is called the goldwater rule which prohibits mental health expert from making a diagnosis of a public figure without having examined them personally and have gotten their consent to do so what we are doing here is assessing dangerousness dangerousness is different from diagnosis you don't need to have all the information to be able to assess dangerousness. it is about the situation rather than the individual it is about basically. the person and the influence they have and the access to weapons that they have and we have while we're not making a diagnosis we all agree that we have seen enough to be very concerned that the person appointed to protect the health and safety of the public is actually a threat to those things ok so as you say you can't make an official diagnosis because presumably none of you have had a face to face meeting with president trump to bill to do that so what can you do because i know you've made specific recommendations as to how to go forward basically. so we're back basically actin

conservatism the way barry goldwater saw it, the way russell kirk saw it a. conservatives conservatives by any stretch of the imagination, a guy, willie, who was seen by some as being a trouble-maker because he was too conservative. he was too unyielding, when it came to cutting spending. i remember he was -- he sort of had a reputation in the house as being too far out there, too right wing. >> wow. >> and he's having to explain to his constituents that when he goes against donald trump, it's for, you know, reasons that have to do with protecting his beliefs, his conservative beliefs that he's held his entire lifetime that donald trump hasn't held even in the five years he's ban republican, but this personality cult is, you can really see it in this story with jeff flake. here you have a guy that people knew. they knew him forever. they knew he was conservative. he's got a 96% lifetime conservative rating, but donald trump as we have been saying around the table for two years, since he went down the escalators, he's not a conservative and yet there is this p

so my question is, at what pointed do you step forward as a delegation and do what barry goldwater did at the white house in 1974 and told richard nixon it was over. they don't have to go over until donald trump that it is over. but a delegation of republicans need to go over the white house and tell the president either you assure us that the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the united states senate is wrong or we are going to take immediate action to limit your ability to launch nuclear weapons? and it won't be what general hayden said last year, it will no longer be a system built more for speed than for rationality. these republicans senators in the middle of october 2017 have that responsibility for millions and millions of americans and others across the globe. and if they can't do that, then there's something called the 25th amendment that they're going to have to start looking at. this is not acceptable as the status quo. we have the most powerful republican on capitol hill saying the president of the united states could be leading us towards nuclear war. and republ

i think people who are involved in the american department of defense's reforms under the goldwater nichols reform said it took about ten years to internalize it to have the new laws reflected in promotions and people's awareness of their new functions. i have to think that in china this must be a massive challenge which china's military has been so stove piped than our military is. they do have the same -- similar types of interservice competitions for resources and for missions. and i would think in very quick summary this islikely to argue as well for more continuity than change, in this case in the name of domestic change that need to be more active on the periphery, on the borders or beyond those borders, will be less than their need to work on their internal accommodation of the new instructions from the top from xi jinping and his -- and the other top commanders he's now appointing. so that probably is not the theme you would get out of most newspaper stories that appear week by week in the u.s. press, that china is on the march and it's a source of tremendous risk, and the u.s. need

to arizona was because he was not supporting the president and he was stealing a quote from barry goldwater back in the day and using that to attack president trump and are very inappropriate and arizona republicans appreciate it. neil: thank you very much. i'm sure you -- >> always great to be here. neil: the president did make a lot of news with reporters including how he feels about four or one k. did he just reversed and stuff. >> 401(k) to me is very important. i didn't want that to go too far. the chairman of the house ways and means committee said this morning it could be on the table. maybe it is, but that's one of the great things. there are threatened elements we don't want negotiate with. i think kevin brady is fantastic. he knows how important 401(k)s are. neil: maybe not. tennessee republican congresswoman house budget committee diane black. what do you make of that? is the president stepping back him as that's on the table as kevin brady says it is and should be, the tax protections afforded 401(k)? >> we are still discussing a number of things. i will tell you my personal opi
