he is "washington post" columnist matt miller, come on down to contestant's row. let's go right to your column today. you write that it's hard to know which is coming to sequester or the argument made to avoid them. i wonder if you can explain and you have come up with your own solution to this. you might be a little drunk on power here the last time you were on the show. they called for a minimum wage strike. lo and behold, the state of the union address. we want to see what the solution is that we should be looking at here. >> this is proof that the cycle is the most powerful outlet in the universe. that's why you have to come here with ideas. as i argue today, it's like a situation of dumb and dumber. it's a very dumb thing that looks like it's about to happen. when you have obama there yesterday at the campaign style event saying that the airports will shut down and there will be chaos and the al qaeda will get a lead on us. i think for a 5% cut which is what most of the stuff is, it's breathless and overhyped. i understand the politics and i think you end up

go ahead. >> congressman, it's matt miller, how are you.etrospect it was a mistake for the president and the democrats to extend 82% of the bush tax cuts back on january 1st because it's that fact that, you know, the democrats campaigned against those tax cuts as being only benefiting the rich because all of them were extended the president needs to come back for more revenue now, if he'd actually done a different deal then we might be talking about what tax cuts we're doing as part of repealing the sequester. >> final word from the congressman on that. >> i voted against that fiscal cliff deal because of that, matt, i knew we needed to avoid the fit-and-start type of budgeting where we would manufacture more crises, the republicans would try to manufacture more crises to fulfill their agenda and i voted against the bill because we had a chance for a really good, big deal that would be balanced. we lost that opportunity. >> xavier becerra is a democrat from the state of california. thank you for your time. appreciate it. >>> we've got to ta

matt miller, of independent commercial producers. matt, good morning.> great to be here. >> the cost is $3.8 million. how does that compare for other must-see or big events. >> well, it's obviously the biggest but there's no other event that's even close. the biggest events we see have 20 million viewers. we're talking about 111 million viewers. when you put it in scale that way and the fact that we're all watching that at the same time and there's that water cooler. and now the digital water cooler. 40% of the people that watch the super bowl will actually share ads. what does that mean? facebook friends average 118 per person. that's almost 5 billion impressions ultimately through social media and everything else. so now we see the strategy of sharing before, sharing after. people talking about the responsibilities during the game. and you see an absolute bargain, if you will. >> that is why it is so expensive. >> it's a unique element. >> the first ones we have is from samsung. >> samsung wants me to be in their new, big commercial. the next big thin

matt miller, president and ceo of the association of independent commercial producers. >> good morning>> the cost of a 30-second ad is $3.8 million. how does that compare for other must-see or big events? >> it is the biggest. there is no other event that is even close. the biggest events we have have 20 million viewers. we are talking about 111 million viewers. when you put it in scale that way, the fact that we are all watch that is at the same time, and there is that water cooler and now the digital water cooler. we are all online. we are sharing it. 40% of the people that watch the super bowl will share ads. facebook friends average 118 facebook friends per person. almost 5 billion impressions ultimately through social media and everything else. now, we see the strategy of sharing before, sharing after. people talking about the response during the game. you see an absolute bargain. >> that's why it is so expensive. >> it is such a unique element. >> let's look at some of these buzz worthy ads. the first is from samsung. >> the next big thing. ideas. >> you know, samsung wants me to

those are the questions matt miller is asking. a columnist for "the washington post" and he joins us now. i want to answer two basic questions. the first is from an economic standpoint for the people who benefit from this and the country as a whole, make the economic case for raising the minimum wage right now. >> well, first you have something like between the people who work at the minimum wage and the people near the minimum. between $7.25 an hour and $10 an hour, you have 30 million american workers. if we brought it up in a way that is rational and doesn't put a burden on business, you inject billions of dollars of stimulus into the e economy and make life a little bit less oppressive for people who work full time who are at the bottom of the income scale. you are talking about people making -- if it's 2,000 hours a year, that's 16, 17, $20,000 a year. you can't get by on that in the u.s. >> you make a strong case there, but let me ask you about the politics. the republicans control and one of the legislative chambers in the

the "washington post" matt miller has an article and the title is dumb and dumber on sequester. if you look at this, it says it's hard to know which is stupider, the coming sequester cuts or arguments being made to avoid them. if you talk about not having a good faith negotiating partner, is it more about 2014 and midterm elections than it is about doing the business that's at hand? and basically the business at hand that was put together and approved, most of the dna held by republicans on this sequester? >> it is more about politics than what the nation needs because they are dumb cuts. they are across the board. they are indiscriminate and cut good programs equally with bad programs and cut efficient programs with inefficient ones, it's the last way you would want to make reductions in the deficit. both parties agree on that. but i think that for the gop and i don't know whether it's looking forward to the next midterms or looking backward at who they think they elected them to the gerrymandered districts. many of the gop colleagues feel they have a mandate to just say no at
