you are on the air with congressman jim himes, democrat of connecticut. caller: i have been a democrat for 50 years or better. i am 69 years old. i have been a democrat ever since i have been able to vote. i remember when the savings and loan debacle happened. if i read and remember correctly, there was over 700 criminal prosecutions because of that. the wall street bill we had in 2008 and 2009, they had nobody held accountable. i heard you say you was not a blue dog. i do not believe you are a blue dog either. i believe you are a republican disguised as a democrat. you say that vote did not hurt dodd frank. no you're just chipping away a little time until you get back. i do not know why anybody would vote for somebody who would work for goldman sachs because your interest is big money, big this mess, -- big business, big banks. i will take my answer off the air. guest: look like every other form of regulation, we want to balance our financial regulation. rodney is absolutely right, it is a stain on the history of the country that a meltdown that was our

jim himes, what you make of what she had to say?: that was a pretty good description of the lead up to 2008, to the financial meltdown. she definitely rifles are there was strong bipartisan consensus -- she is absolutely right. there was strong bipartisan consensus against regular in the financial industry. in fact, there was deregulation. taking away the glass-steagall regulations that had been around since the 1930's. and because of that, you saw unbelievably toxic mortgages. you saw something that was insane, which is the entire derivatives market unregulated. and that led us to aig. i am large, elizabeth warren and her description of what happened before 2008 is accurate. senator warren suggests that the intent was to allow for short-term profitability of the banks. you think of the people in the bipartisan consensus back in the 1990's, and i would be a little less hesitant to suggest that they were acting that "evilly" back then. they thought if you deregulate these industries will thrive and we want our industries to thrive. b

. >> let's bring in connecticut democrat congressman jim himes. welcome to you.ay. what strategies can the u.s. employ to counter the draw of terrorist groups? >> well i'd answer that question two ways. we have to keep doing what we're doing and doing it more which is taking the fight to groups like isis and boko haram and others around the world and of course doing the very good work that our intelligence community and our law enforcement folks are doing that sort of, as you saw, resulted in the disruption of the plot against the united states capitol. but the second thing, which we don't talk nearly enough about which is absolutely essential is we're dealing with just constant eruptions from societies and of course the overlay of religion, islam, that are in profound crisis. we're seeing it this weekend with saudi arabia sentencing an individual to ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes because he dared to sort of poke up some moderate ideas. we see it in egypt. we see it all through the islamic world with some exceptions of course where deeply liberal policies a
