john mccain's quest to stay relevant. now he's demanding a television apology from susan rice. >>> and later it's been two weeks since the election and alanest refuses to let democracy run its course. stay with us. >> "the ed show." thanks for watching. john mccain has been embarrassing himself on national television and it looks like he has no intention of stopping. the senate role has given him the opportunity to grand stand over the response on the attack on benghazi. he's been lobbying to establish a special watergate-style select committee on matter. mccain undermined his own effort when he skipped the briefing on benghazi to hold a news conference demanding answers on the subject. to make matters worse, he blew up at a reporter who dared to question him about his absence. his idea of a watergate-style panel suggests the obama administration has been involved in some kind of a cover-up. but top intelligence officials tell nbc's andrea mitchell they kept their unclassified talking points for susan rice deliberately vague to avoid any future legal proceedings. and some of mccain's own republican colleagues say there's no reason to crea

alan simpson who joins us on the phone. that was, although a lot of people dismiss it, herculean leap toward progress when john boehner is saying i will throw it out there i am hope. what do you think? >>guest: he also said revenue through tax reform so he is getting the message which is go into the tax expenditures, and we found $1 trillion, $100 billion of those babies over 180 who only go 20 percent of the american people using 80 percent of them. only 27 percent of the american people itemize so who is using this stuff? if the money guys are concerned, we will do what we suggested, go in there and get your revenue by doing tax reform and go to the study rate of 8 percent, $70,000 and what we did. anyway, good to hear him talking. in will be a great tap dance. i heard the phrase "the dancing" begins and it will look like fred astaire on steroids. >>neil: but ginger did it backward in heels. maybe i am overanalyzeing because we have not had any sleep the last two days but, senator, when i heard him raise the loophole issue and the other stuff, that was among the tea party and the rest, that was forbidden, even if you wanted t

alan simpson really leave a message on your voicemail? >> oh, several. rambling and long and inane. yes. >> all right. now, even john boehner and mitch mcconnell came out of that meeting in the white house and used the word revenue. it's on want table. they are acknowledging they will raise revenue. the only way i know to raise revenue is to raise taxes. i mean, does it sound to you like there's going to be a tax increase after all? >> no. if you remember, the comment that boehner and mitch mcconnell have made is they want revenue from economic growth. the best way to get revenue for the federal government is to grow the economy faster rather than slower. if you grow at 4% a year instead of 2% a year for one decade, the government raises $5 trillion. that is how you balance the budget. you cut spending, just as the republicans did in the last half of the 1990s. they cut the capital gains tax. we had more growth, and we slowed spending. that's what we need to focus on, not raising taxes on the american people and of course, obama's tax increases are there, but he hasn't put any spending restraint on the table. we loo
