joining me now with reaction is doug holtz-eakin.uinness,ngton, miami the president for the committee for responsible federal budget. doug, let me start with you. strikingreyer said down aggregate limits on overall campaign contributions had "eviscerated our nation's campaign finance laws." decision corrupt what justice breyer called the political integrity of our governmental institution? >> i don't think so. the supreme court has made the point quite clearly really -- that money is voice. people can now support as many candidates as they want and as many party organizations as they want. that makes it more likely that the money will flow into those transparent to demented sources and listen to other places. maja, money is voice to be sure, but whose voice? >> i guess i have to agree with justice breyer that this isn't the main decision that has really corrupted our political financing system. but it is another addition to it where, bottom line, we have too much money flowing into politics. i don't think it is the same as free speec

holtz man said about the role of 350 bay area. i'm one of the members of the bay area air quality management district and have been for several years ~. i would just caution you about speaking of yourself and your organization as a vanguard. there are many environmental justice groups that have been working on issues of climate change and climate justice for many, many years. i think 350 bay area is a critical organization that's really been taking a lead on many levels and i would just caution you to speak in those terms of yourself. the young people that have been at the white house and were today protesting the key stone excel i think are really taking a lead. and my hope is that the whole environmental movement can really embrace younger people, environmental justice groups, native american nations and others as we all move forward together. but i really appreciate all the work of [speaker not understood] strong and really better commitments from the bay area air quality management district and the leadership that you guys sho

we'll ask the former head football coach for notre dame the legendary lou holtz.thank you. delighted to be with you on such an important subject. >> as far as i understand, the crime the team is reputed to have committed is praying occasionally, not mandatory, and hosting a bible study to which some players went. what is your take on the attack on these practices? >> i'm tired of being bullied by the atheists, you can't do that, you can't do that. atheism is a religion, you tell me. now they want us to practice atheism. as a football coach i understood anything we did religiously had to be voluntary. it was not mandatory. i think st. benedict said it the best. teach the gospel 24 hours a day. atheists resort to using words. i hope the way by life reflects my strong faith in god. i refuse to give up my faith and say i can no longer practice my beliefs. >> it's obviously so important to you as a coach the idea of prayer and being able to provide counseling. what is wrong with being able to provide this voluntary service for students to turn to in a time of need? stu

>>> hi, jed holtz man, 350 sf which is in case you didn't know, grassroots claimant advocacy organization. i wanted to kind of finish my last comment. i hate speaking after the microphone, but it relates to this item as well. so, our own policy agencies are letting us know that we are facing between, according to the s.f. bacon certification and development commission, 62 billion of the area shoreline development at risk. u.c. berkeley estimate is for transportation facilities, 500 billion statewide, most of that in the bay area. i have a lot of figures here, ~ but the idea is we're talking about budgetary problems for an enterprise agency. part of those budgetary problems have come about because that enterprise agency is essentially subsidizing a lot of our other public programs. that is a social good and we think the enterprise agency for doing that, notwithstanding we're here now because of that systemic imbalance. ~ thank as time goes on, what i'm getting at is these costs are only going to ip crease and it's looking, accord to our best scientists, they're going to increase at dollar

it has been revealed that nsa holtz and stores a lot of medical data and information is specially telephone even foreign citizens legally they could do into infinity as part of the chart they can watch foreigners as much as they want for as much as they please but also u.s. citizens. we predict what i talked about at&t, verizon have this data they use it to market to you. why be more comfortable with a private company with at&t exclusively holding my data speaks to a somewhat irrational fear for fear of being misidentified and falling into a land of governments over it -- surveillance. and we're more likely to be identified as a potential customer for those would be coerced into buying but that is the fun part. we have private companies having a problem because it was the responsibility into the private sector. >> i will interrupt. the llord data that is out there that goes to the title of your book "the naked truth" less of a chance that i might be stigmatized for my activities? >> guest: you are less likely to miss stigmatized less likely to be accused of something you did not do. you may

former cbo director, american action forum president, douglas holtz-eakin. doug, with no disrespect to your former haunt, i have no confidence in numbers that, and estimates come out of washington. what changed here? >> two things changed. one was supposedly good news, which is the government's ownership in ally financial became more valuable. that made it less, but the really troubling development, more bad mortgages. this was all caused through the housing market backed and remaining bad for a long period of time. neil: so, how can it make for $6 billion swing though? because, it comes, this news comes of course as we're getting, maybe the obamacare savings are going to amount to $120 billion over x number of years? i think they play with these figures? >> i think you should have a healthy skepticism about the numbers, i do. even as i prepared them at the cbo, i as you encourage people to understand that we didn't know for sure that, what we're doing is taking our best guess. we are just as likely too high as too low. we're seeing that in this instance. th

for more, doug holtz-eakin, president of american action forum, guy benson, editor-in-chief of town hall. welcome to you both. >> hi. gerri: i will come right back to this. a little over an hour ago the president was out speak about obamacare and how many young folks signed up. he said 35% of those signing up are under 35. here is the president. >> the first open enrollment period under this law ended a little over two weeks ago, and as more data comes in, we now know that the number of americans who have signed up for private insurance in the has geo 8 million people. eight million people. 35% of people who enrolled through the federal marketplace are under the age of 35. gerri: now, doug, interesting the president is saying, 35% of enrollees are, 35 or under. that is very close to their goal of 39%. is it good enough? >> it is ally misleading. the key figure is the age of people who will be buying insurance policies, that is 18 to 34. the while house put out a fact sheet shortly after the president spoke, said they got 28% in that range. so they're still well short of the 39% or so the

how exactly should we be doing it here for joining me right now --douglas holtz eakin, doug former cboand dan smith. tax and budget advocate. me like we need a real overhaul of the corporate tax code so we can get all of the offshore money north of $1 trillion back here working for us in the united states of america. >> i think that is exactly right. we have the trifecta and problems. raise much revenue. time to take a look at the competitor nations and recognize we are out of step with the 21st century. basically countries have moved away from taxing worldwide income. instead, those companies that are making money in brazil, the u.s., you pay the you -- brazilian tax and bring it back and a second layer attacks. i keep the money offshore. companies do not want to do that. we need to fix the problem and do it quick. >> live the highest corporate taxes of any country in the world. where is the breakdown politically? -- we have the highest corporate taxes of any country in the world. >> the biggest problem with our corporate tax code is that many large us-based multinational corporations

and he has agreed to which the hispanic community holtz's attorneys and esteem is a good indication andant to protect us community of from those practitioners who shall we say are somewhat lacking. you have to take one class or credit and you need a small amount of a given law school. but it impacts everything you do. and we also have to do that with respect to legal services they provide whether paid or not. and we have the same standard of ethical conduct if you have a part of that for free. i would like to play close attention to make sure that we understand the importance of serving the community and the importance of understanding that you are paragon to the latino community and we are here with all of the other ones to ensure that you have the resources that you need to be the best and i thank you so much for your time and i look forward to speaking with you all later in the conference. i will be around as well.

. >> reporter: the girls hiding in their bedroom closets as police say robert paul and amy holtz kicked in the door of their utah home and started ransacking it. >> they're now in the house. >> okay, where are they at, upstairs? >> yeah. >> i was having a hard time breathing because i was crying so much. >> reporter: kylee said she broke down but managed to keep calm while on the phone with 911 >> how many does it sound like, can you tell? >> two. >> okay. can you hear them talking? >> yeah. >> i knew my sister was in the closet and if he catches me he's going to catch her too so i had to think of her, not just myself. and so that's probably what made me keep my cool. >> reporter: incredibly both kylee and audrey remained hidden until police arrived, just as the suspects were fleeing the scene. they were arrested on burglary, theft and drug charges and yet to enter a plea. >> they went and trashed my bedroom. my wife and i's bedroom. i'm so proud of my oldest and even my youngest for what they did. >> reporter: as for little audrey, she's thankful for the quick thinking of her big siste

doug holtz-eakin was here for another event a couple months ago and doug was telling us that he done some focus groups, not surveys but focus groups on this, just the words, tax reform. and what he discovered was people hated the phrase. it goes to a little bit what karlyn was saying before. that they felt tax reform was a euphemism for, we're going to raise your taxes. so i asked him what questions, what words did they like? they liked modernize. they liked fairness. but they didn't like reform. karlyn -- >> those are values. those are values. simplicity is value. modernization is value. fairness is value. that is where people are starting. that is why those were received more postively. >> chris, what do you think? >> i think you would go farther with fairness than you would reform but, i think that there are limits to what framing can accomplish. you know, one thing that we don't know from public opinion research that it would take a long time of asking and doing the same experiment is, even in my own work, so when we give people information about the distributive benefits of taxe

let's bring in former director of the congressional budget office, doug holtz-eakin, and bank rate'ston bureau chief mark hammer. good to see you both. doug, as i said earlier, the stock market was looking for a great jobs report. they got merely a good jobs report today, right? >> yeah. i think there's two ways to look at the report. one is to go through the pieces and see good news, unemployment flat. good news in hours of work. bad news in hourly earnings. or you can step back and realize that this is the kind of reports we've been getting for quite some time. some good news, some bad news, no real discernible momentum and that's the troubling part of the report. >> yeah. all the same, mark, we got to talk a little bit about what's happening here. i guess as we look back at what the impact on consumers is going to be, their spending behavior, borrowing behavior this year, what signs are you seeing? how strong is the consumer and how have they been effected by everything from weather to the affordable care act. >> weather obviously hasn't helped. in some case that is just logistics
