(narrator) with "the living end," a movie about two men with hiv, gregg araki added another voice to? (rock 'n roll music playing) the world is ours. so, like, figure this: there's thousands and maybe millions of us walking around with this inside of us, this time bomb ticking, making our futures finite. suddenly i realized we got nothing to lose. you know, i went to the usc film school. and being in a really industry-oriented school really pushed me more towards an independent underground edge in that i knew my films were, in terms of content and form, a little too weird or esoteric or artsy for mainstream tastes.

gregg's i'm always optimistic. i'm optimistic first because we have not -- >> i'm always optimistic. i'm optimistic first because we have a system in this country that allows us to adjust and deal with the realities and challenges of our time, not five or 10 years ago. that is an important process. we may change. we deal with change. we set our course. it does not always mean we are right. second, i think the climate is totally different today going into next year politically than it was a year ago, four years ago. the environment will dictate a lot of how much latitude both sides have. first, the american people are fed up with congress and with politics. they want our leaders to bring some consensus to solving problems. also, because barack obama will not stand for reelection again, at least he says he won't, that takes the political tension out of this to some extent. there is always political tension. but that gives republicans more latitude to bringing accommodation to finding a solution. >> everyone is talkin

judd gregg, a former insider, probably more about the budget than any human living being, i don't know if that's good or bad, but i'm going to give you your shot. >> i don't know where it came from, but i i'm it came directly out of the chief of staff's office working with the treasury secretary, something like this is so aggressive, almost like a labor union proposal in a negotiation. what i find disturbing about it, because i happen to think they should go to the simpson bowles template, first disturbing is the reversal of that ratio. >> and you're taking the revenue number up to 1 puff.6. the agreement of last summer was 800 billion, i think. when you go to 1.6, you're basically talking, even though the stated rate might have to go to 39 p 5%, you're talking actually about a rate of 42% when you throw in the rates and -- and the medicare, you're talking a 45% top rate. >> and they want to cap some deductions on top of that. matt miller, you came from a fiscally conservative administration. >> that takes you to an effective rate in the low 42s. >> can i say calm down. it's an offer.

senator gregg and the governor, you're from two different parties. senator, since you're in front of me, coming together for this one common cause, explain from your vantage point now how you can see bipartisanship working, knowing d.c. as it is now. >> as a practical matter, you can't address the huge issues like social security, medicare, medicaid and tax reform unless it's bipartisan because the american people won't accept action until they believe the action to be fair. and fairness requires bipartisanship. we've pulled together a fairly large group to try to show there is a pathway to getting together a comprehensive agreement that gets the debt down and makes our country fiscally responsible. it's a very important thing for our future and our children's future. >> the president is attempting to bring in leaders this week. how critical is that toward the effort, the steps needed to get this done and basically what the president and your group wants to accomplish? >> very critical, thomas. what our group has done is reached out to the corporate
