>> well, john reid -- in socialism of 1918, john reid, something we haven't mentioned there was a russian revolution that happened in 1917, and johnó reederals across the world was hugely inspired by this. norman was, too. so was walter lippmann and so was woodrow wilson. and the war address he said basically russia will be asked to test before democracy. i think norman was not kind of jazz inspired by the utility in a project as john was courted and to consider himself a marxist and when he applied for the socialist party he wrote a long letter explaining why he was really kind of not totally for the socialist party. >> and there you have the success. >> non-partisan lee and i fear that the socialist party isn't always affecting civil liberties and not a marxist and, you know, i really fear any state whether capitalistic or socialistic that claims to have any control with over the - he sent this letter off and was returned to him because he hadn't. so, i think that he -- i actually -- if he knew john reid, i don't know, at this point in time, but certainly he knew people like matt, other socialists or scott, other people who were kind

how does boehner's plan and reed's plan, which are the two plans out there, how do they differ? >> well, john boehner's plan is the more ambitious plan and very controversial. it divides itself into two parts. the first is in effect, about a trillion dollars worth of extension of the debt ceiling and it forces a second vote on -- a renewed fight over the debt ceiling about six months from now and what the white house and president adamantly feel strongly about is he doesn't want that second vote. and that's because they worry the republicans will put a gun to their heads on the eve of the second vote and say take these cuts in entitlements or you're going to go into default and they don't want to be in that situation. that's the boehner plan and frankly, the boehner plan may not pass the house but it will surely die in the senate. harry reid has a plan which is only -- takes the debt ceiling all the way until january of 2013. it gets rid of that problem for the president but from a republican point of view isn't as big at it seems. he's saying, i got $2.7 trillion worth of cuts but a trillion
