the complexity, as john reid noted earlier, is overwhelming. , and youannual reports will begin to appreciate just how difficult, perhaps impossible for most, to understand their operations. as an aside, i would note that i am a supporter of making living wills public so that people a more general sense can judge for themselves how prepared we are for bankruptcy too big to fail status has facilitated the growth of the largest most complex firms and the consolidation of the financial industry. it is not the only cause, but it has facilitated. these trends have turned the structure the market toward that of and all a couple he -- of a d oligopoly. we have to change course in my opinion. the doddthat, although frank act under title i requires bankruptcy as a resolution , is not a viable option. that is what i am told. i'm told that bankruptcy is to meet problems are for these firms to be satisfactorily resolved in bankruptcy. fdicmplication is that the can use the so-called title ii or single point of interest -- of entry that has been talked about. leaving the taxpayer aside for a moment, it is

>> it's the read technique, developed by john reid, a lie detector analyst, since the "40s. it basically consists of two parts. one is the behavioural analyst interview. you ask questions and watch the body language to get a sense of whether the person is lying. once you paying the determination that -- make the determination that the person is laying, you leave the room, come back with a folder and you say "we have concluded that you have committed the crime, let's talk about ways of getting past that", in the second part of the interview, if you decide the person is lying, you don't take no for an answer, you keep at it until the person confesses. i should say in your segment you talked about the officer abusing the person. in the reid technique, you do not touch the person, you affect a kindly demeanor, but you do not let up until they confess. >> that struck me when i read your article, we think of the false confessions coming from a physical or mental torture. i got the sense they were talking about something like hype novembers, brain -- hypnosis, brain washing, repeat

he is one of the people who has meant so much to me, reid said of john kerry. you say that he tells lots of people how much he loves them. >> he does. harry reid is a politician. he's been described as ruthless, but he's very effective. what was interesting to me was not so much his cynicism, but how oddly honest he is. you just read an example of him appearing to be dishonest. the 90 became majority leader in 2006, he was with schumer and they were watching the -- night he became the majority leader in 2006, he was with schumer and they were watching. he called everyone who won. he would punctuate every sentence with some variation, i love you. i love you, hillary. whoever won that night. he looked at me and said, they need to hear that. what he meant was, their politicians. it wasn't so much as a wink. it was a matter of fact, harry reid statement. even though him telling john kerry he loves them on the floor of the senate on the day that john kerry announced he was not running for president again in 2006 -- he just said it. it felt right. john kerry seemed to

john mccain voted against that. he could have been the 60th vote, but he didn't. i didn't expect it from anyone else. i expected it from him. >> relationship between harry reid and john mccain has run i would say hot and cold. i think it's more cold and chillier lately. by the way, senator reid told me yesterday that he had overcome more than 500 filibusters since 2007. it's also a claim the president made just this week. this morning "the washington post" fact checker gives the 500 filibuster claim four pinocchios. according to post number cruncher, since 2007 there have been 528 cloture motions that have been filed to end debates on bills but there have just been 133 successful filibusters, meaning a final vote could not have taken place. 527, if you use that number, some of those were democrats holding things up as well. it is a little bit of a misleading number. "the washington post" concludes if you want to just talk about legislation and pinning the blame on republicans filibustering, the number should be something like 50. >> still ahead, the surprising admission by harry reid on benghazi. plus russian president vladimir putin makes his first visit to

john: always someone will take offense. stuart: why was harry reid doing that? ey change columbus day to indigenous peoples day? stuart: you could say to a native american indigenous person you are an indigenous person, that would be totally politically neutral, culturally neutral, you are ok with that. that is free speech. what is the premise of your show tonight? john: what we gain from this hurtful, noxious speech. the guy who really moved my brain is the author of a book called kindly inquisitors that makes you think about the power of the open discussion. he is a gay man who says look how much like for me has changed. in 20 years we used to be illegal to serve in the military. you could be jailed, beaten, because people have been allowed to talk about being gay and there has been open debate there has been more tolerance. stuart: more speech, the more free-speech, more open debate the more free we are and the more likely we are to find a solution to what ever problem is the subject of that speech. john: if we hate the speech don't ban it, fight it with more

he is one of the people who has meant so much to me, reid said of john kerry. you say that he tells lots of people how much he loves them. >> he does. harry reid is a politician. he's been described as ruthless, but he's very effective. what was interesting to me was not so much his cynicism, but how oddly honest he is. you just read an example of him appearing to be dishonest. the 90 became majority leader in 2006, he was with schumer and they were watching the -- night he became the majority leader in 2006, he was with schumer and they were watching. he called everyone who won. he would punctuate every sentence with some variation, i love you. i love you, hillary. whoever won that night. he looked at me and said, they need to hear that. what he meant was, their politicians. it wasn't so much as a wink. it was a matter of fact, harry reid statement. even though him telling john kerry he loves them on the floor of the senate on the day that john kerry announced he was not running for president again in 2006 -- he just said it. it felt right. john kerry seemed to

john mccain has just proposed this. if i were barack obama i'd be like, hey, harry reid, bring john mccain's bill up, let's do it, boom.p. are you fixing -- you're short-term fixing the problem. there has to be a bigger long-term sort of investigation, if you will, or they got to just figure out how to rebuild this house called the va. >> would you agree that whether it works properly it is a model -- >> absolutely, no doubt about it. but a seven-month waiting list. 1 of the 40 that died in arizona. seven months he was told to wait. he had blood in his urine. he was 71 years old. they came back to him. guess what? he died of stage 4 blared cancer. blood in your urine means you have bladder cancer. the va told him you're going to have to have patience. patience? no. no. . there's no patience when someone has blood in their ur requiine. they're putting dollar signs on arms? the va called his family on december 6th and said we can see him now. they said he's dead. >> i want to weigh in because i think it is important we don't just look at this in binary terms. yes, clearly responsibility needs to be taken and anyone who d

harry reid weighing in, john mccain weighing in.his is a bigger thing in our politics that can come down to the benefits over there. but you also speak to the fact that there is a danger of us trying to entertain ourselves with these types of stories. and social media feeds into that. and perhaps, tell me if this is the problem, we're using the prism of humanitarian social media intervention to actually just gorge on these images of their own sort of dark kind of exciting, sad story. >> yeah, i think that's right. in february, boko haram killed 50 school boys. there was really no social media push for that. what they did, they went into a school, they separated the girls from the boys, they sent the girls home. and said don't come back to school, go home and get married. and then they slaughtered the boys and burned down the school. you weren't seeing that on social media. you weren't seeing that overtaking the u.s. media the way that this story is. to me, that's a real tragedy. i think all kids matter. school boys matter, school gi
