mr. paul, dr. paul, good to see you. thanks for joining us.ugh people use bit coin it could help bring down the dollar? you think that's a real possibility? am i getting what you said wrong? and maybe next time it won't be so successful. but the dollar has been under attack since the fed was created in 1913. it has lost 97% of its value. and the end stages of a paper currency always goes very quickly although it has been gradual for these hundred years, although there could come a day where i expect it will be panic for the dollar. >>> i want to get your thoughts on some of the big issues of the day. primarily let's talk about your son, senator rand paul of kentucky not hiding the fact that he is contemplating a presidential run, you've run three times, i'm sure you've given him much fatherly advice. but share a little bit with us if you would, what should he look at if he pulls the trigger, and do you think he should go for it? >> well, i think he is going to make up his own mind. and i had my opportunity to give him advice when he was much y

mr. paul, dr. paul, good to see you. thanks for joining us.se bit coin it could help bring down the dollar? you think that's >>> well, i think it is the other way, when the dollar is in trouble that will be one of the alternatives. i guess it will be the play on it, and the bit coins are used. but something has to happen to the dollar, so i think that is where the real problem is. and mr. greenspan says he doesn't understand the intrinsic value of a vehicle, and frankly, i can't either. but i want to ask him what about the intrinsic value of a dollar? nobody knows what that is. but i think it is an alternative, just one of the alternatives, in the first momentum, then people are going to leave. and the other electronic monies and there will be gold. and we came terribly close to this in 1979 when they took interest rates up to 21% to save the dollar. and maybe next time it won't be so successful. but the dollar has been under attack since the fed was created in 1913. it has lost 97% of its value. and the end stages of a paper currency always g

mr. paul happens to be out in his day room time in the sub day room time and seizes that opportunity and runs out through the sub day room to the larger day room. >> where were you trying to go when you were running? >> trying to get as far as i could get and trying to set a record. see how far i could get here. [ laughter ] >> how far did you get? >> not very far. >> even though he'd gotten out into this general area, he still would have gone through at least four more doors and through several areas where other officers are working. >> and i tried to keep going for the next one. and then i couldn't find one that was open, and then they rushed me. i just kind of said, ah -- >> from that time of this episode, when he actually got out of the d room area, he attempted at least two or three other times to exit his cell while the officers were there. he tried to, like, push through the officers. >> one of those attempts began with paul faking an illness. >> while the nurse attempts to take his blo

this is a company whose brands like bird's-eye, mrs. paul's, hungryman, duncan hines, mrs.th, they're found in 85% of american households. since then the stock has a 23% gain in the after market. i told you to buy this one ahead of the ipo, and then i reiterated, my trust put in a real nice gain. i still think there is a room for gain. they acquired neglected brands and turned them around. a la longtime cramer favorite b & g foods. they bought wishbone foods from unilever for $580 million. this company has a winning formula. what more can you ask for? fifth 2013 ipo still worth buying, no one is talking about this one -- volaris. this is an ultra low cost mexican airline. this is kind of like a mexican version of cramer fave spirit, symbol save. they came public in september, jumped 16.8% on the first day. since then the stock has barely budged, even thought oil has come down big. the company is growing like a weed and 43 planes, management plans to double that, adding another 49 over the next eight years. mexico is a lot like the united states when it comes to the airlines

. >> if mr. paul seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up libertarian kids in their college dorms. >> it did fire up libertarian kids. i thought that was great. stand with rand on twitter took off. but you work with senator mccain. how's that going? >> you know, we actually have a good personal relationship. i respect him as a war hero. doesn't mean he's always right but he does deserve my respect and others for his time spent in a -- as a prisoner of war. but i think one of the points about the debate is very, very important because his point of view is that if you're deemed to be dangerous, of course, we can incarcerate you with no trial and no attorney and no charges. and my response to that is, it begs the question, who gets to determine whether or not you're guilty of something? the government now has criteria that says you're suspicious if you like to pay cash at the store. if you have missing fingers. stains on your clothing. or have changed the color of your hair.

joining me now is economist journalist author and former assistant treasury secretary mr paul craig roberts mr roberts how are you doing today i'm just going to you're going to now i want to start off by asking you it was recently announced that timothy geithner former secretary of the treasury and new york fed president he's moving to a lucrative job at private equity firm warburg pincus is this move unexpected to you know of course not. the bank should always take care of those i'm sure. now during gardner's time at the treasury he went to great lengths to let people know that he was a life long civil servant i have covered during the financial crisis do you think that he ultimately served the interests of the bank more than you know the interests of that would be sort of being a true civil servant or sure that's the direction the federal reserve which serves the interest of the banks and in recent years that's been the fortune all the treasury is now that the function of the financial regulatory. they all. function now since the beginning of the fed itself there's been a revolving door b

mr. paul: i ask consent that the mandatory quorum be waived. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection, under the previous order the mandatory quorum has been waived. the question is, is it the sense of the senate that -- the senate will come to order. the question is, is it the sense of the senate that debate on the nomination of anne w. patterson of virginia, a career member of the senior foreign service classic career ambassador to be assistant secretary of state near eastern affairs, shall be brought to a close. the yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule. the clerk will call the roll.

mr. paul: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: as we enter into the christmas season, i think it is a good time to talk about stories that describe sort of pastorally where we are, where the senate is. so i have a story today i'd like to tell you about, how the senate works or doesn't work. and so it came to pass that the filibuster was dismembered, dishonored, and indefinitely detained. with the end of the filibuster came the end of any semblance of comity and compromise on capitol hill. the party that never cared much for the rule of law broke the rules of the senate to change the rules. senate rules for nearly two centuries allowed the filibuster. the filibuster was simply a requirement that 60% of senators must approve nominations and legislation. this supermajority requirement actually fostered more centrist solutions and compromises. in order to change the rules, though, and kill the filibuster, it required a two-thirds majority to change the rules. however, the party that doesn't and hasn't concerned themselves with th

the idea that paul ryan is now mr.en we look at congressional approval ratings we see them declining precipitously, and as part of that decline of congressional approval ratings is putting folks at the center who were always on the margins -- >> this is the common ground. >> this is the common ground, paul ryan. when we come back, nancy, i want to pick up on this question and about who's carrying the burden and talk a little bit about the long-term unemployed. >>> also up next, the next hurdle for the budget deal. why it may be a close call many the senate.

mr. rand paul. >> well, one thing i'd say about the rand paul complaint is it's misguide.e says people who are on long-term unemployment are undesirable for jobs. that's because they're unemployed. there's a bias about people who have been unemployed for a long time. he's misdiagnosing the issue here. >> explain why a job -- >> it's just -- you basically if you're trying to hire someone, you have a prejudice against someone who's been unemployed for long. you assume there's a reason they haven't been hired. there's been studies done proving this essentially. it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. >> let's talk the politics. how do the democrats win on this? how do they get back the extension the end of this year? probably the beginning of next year. >> it's tough. it's really tough. what we're looking at right now is a $25 billion extension for a year-long extension of unemployment insurance. you have to figure out a way to pay for it. it wasn't always paid for, but in this environment you have to find a way to pay for it. they've gotten to the bottom of the barrel to figu

mr. bipartisan paul ryan saying he made a budget deal so republicans could focus on health care. >> we like the fact for the economy, no shutdowns. we also don't want shutdown drama so we can focus on replacing obamacare. so we can focus on showing better ideas than what this is coming to. we don't think people like this law. we don't think it's going to get more popular. >> remarkable. this is leadership? jim demint infamously thought obamacare could be the president's waterloo. but it's ripping the gop apart. why? because it's working. joining me now is congressman jim mcdermott, democrat of washington. and msnbc's krystal ball. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having us, rev. >> good to be here. >> congressman, paul ryan is saying he agreed to a budget deal so republicans could focus on replacing obamacare. what do you make of that? >> every once in awhile paul ryan tells the truth. the fact is they've never given up on wanting to get rid of obamacare. because they realize that all their efforts to convince the american people that government never does anything good, there's

. >> as you were talking and dealing with this with budget chairman paul ryan, okay, did you and mr. boehner, i'll just call you two the leadership, quote-unquote, did you and mr. boehner give paul ryan a green light a, to lift the sequester caps and b, to go into the fee and revenue area? did you say go on ahead, we'll support you? were you behind him the whole way? >> first i want to say how proud i am of the work that chairman ryan put into this. his team, his committee, the budget committee that came to this agreement because as we know having been in divided government now since 2010 it's tough. it's tough because we have a lot of disagreement on tax, on fees, on health care with this administration, this president and the democrats in the senate. so i think in working with chairman ryan, what the speaker and i continue to advocate was our position has always been across the board indiscriminate cuts, random arbitrary cuts associated with the sequester were not as good as mandatory permanent cuts if we could achieve those. unfortunately, again, the democrats, they weren't going

mr. ryan. paul ryan is already calculating what the next hostage will be for the debt limit crisis.is budget does avoid a shutdown over the next two years. that's election protection, is what i call it. but there is still some room to play games with our nation's credit. >> we as a caucus, along with our senate counterparts, are going to meet and discuss what it is we want to get out of the debt limit. we don't want nothing out of this debt limit. we're going to decide what it is we can accomplish out of this debt limit fight. one of the problems or concerns i have with the debt limit, we don't know when it's going to hit. jack lieu, the treasury secretary, has ultimate discretion on when this could occur, so the timing of this is very much in doubt. so we're going to meet in our retreats after the holidays and discuss exactly what it is we're going to try and get for this. >> yeah, exactly what we are going to try to get for this. this isn't about doing a deal. this is about what they can get ideologically to fit them. do you really believe that paul ryan is an honest broker when i

mr. smith and jessica from counter paul. it's so fun to be able to kind of switch roles as our arts community grows. i remember going to the intersection of the arts and now they are here a block away at 5 m and dr. cohen is now the director of yerba buena center for the arts. that is community begins to evolve, we are here growing the job sector here in mid-market. in 2011 when the mayor held a press conference across the street, we had the highest vacancy commercial rate in the city. what we are seeing now at mid-market is that everyone wants to be here now. of course what that means that everyone wants to be here, what does that mean for the arts community that has always been here. this is going to keep artist and the artist organization here. it was great to work with the california community loan funds and the office of economic development to make this a reality. over the past couple of year with hard work and procuring money and property owners we were able to procure these sites to ensure the arts remain here perman

well we can bring in british investigative journalist paul lashmar to talk more about this story areas mr lashmar thank you very much for coming on to the pry them there i mean all this is yet to be verified but if it does prove to be true how much of a controversy could this blow into. well it won't help the relationship between sweden and russia i think what's going on here is we were always we've known for a long while that the swedish sigint capability is quite developed. a lot with the british intelligence in the past but as with all things to do with with snowden's documents there's one thing for experts on the outside think of what you know suspecting that we are under all sorts of surveillance it's quite another when we actually start to get the evidence when we start to get the evidence and we realize the sheer scale which i think exceeds the expectations of virtually anybody that the sheer scale of international mass surveillance of individuals governments and anybody that they take an interest in and would it also surprise many people do you think that sweden is actually involv

mrs. kennedy and here you see that she is walking with her two brothers in law beside me in the photograph and then we have sargent shriver and then hears agent paul landers. you will see president johnson and mrs. johnson and their two daughters. those are all agents surrounding him and walking on the way to saint matthews cathedral. and imagine all these heads of state. and this is just a security nightmare if you can possibly imagine. >> yes, the funeral was held in saint matthews and john gave his infamous salute. and tell us about this. you were there witnessing mass. >> the military wanted the salute to the president and mrs. kennedy saw this and she bent over and she whispered something into john's ear and john turned into his shoulders back and saluted. and that was not a natural thing for the young little guy. this kennedy came to me and said, mr. hill, the president is going to go to arlington national cemetery on november 11 and we know that the military is going to salute them as president. i would like john to go on i would like him to salute his father as well and you think the agents could teach them how to salute. and i said sure,

mr. bill, are you ready for your picture? >> yep. >> all right. >> when we met paul komyatti at indiana state prison in 2008, he had an inmate job as the visitor room photographer. >> it keeps me occupied. it keeps me not counting think 6 6,184 hours i have left, and 8 months i have left. however you want to break it down. >> right from the start, he was good natured and full of optimism for the future. despite being incarcerated for the past 26 years. komyatti entered prison at age 17 for his role in a bizarre family plot that ended with the murder of his abusive father. >> my dad was just an alcoholic. i was like a little kid, 7, 8 years old. i'm crawled up under the kitchen table, and he's got a belt with a buckle, putting marks all over my face and everything, all over my body. i got blood coming out and everything. my mom is like look, stop. you've got to stop. you're going to kill him. >> komyatti, his mother, sister and husband were all convicted for the murder of his father. komyatti's brother-in-law was sentenced to death and executed. his sister testified a

. >> first on rand paul's comments regarding mr. apper. >> well, i think what jim clapper said was very unfortunate. and senator paul can call for his resignation. i think what is clear is although a lot of these programs were surprising to the american people, there is a really, really long and strong record of congress and the intelligence community being fully brief order these programs. so there is revisionist history up on the hill. >> i'm shocked. the briefings in 2002, you had people who five years later were shock shocked, shocked. can't we do more? and then shocked four or five years later. this is happening with nsa. >> and i think rand paul probably is shocked because he wasn't there. >> they weren't briefing him in kentucky, right? >> but i think that the truth is that all the pressure was the other way. was connect the dots, learn everything there is to learn. what are you doing sleeping on the job? how could this possibly happen. >> the 1% solution. there is a 1% chance -- >> don't go for it. >> exactly. so michael, wha

mr. greenspan or bernanke. >> one thing that is forgotten about paul volcker how much political and public opposition he faced to his policies at the time. you got to remember, there were farmers actually blocking the front entrance of the federal reserve at the time with their tractors to protest the interest rate increases. so the level of public outcry at the time that he was pursuing his policies is something that certainly is a challenge and something he had to remain resolute in the face of. >> i want to cut in, i don't believe i've met you, but that is a great point. you had construction guys with two buy fours storming the front doors. >> i remember covering it. >> and volcker was immune to it. i will put in one plug for another ex-boss of mine, ronald reagan did give volcker the ground to stand on but volcker was courageous. >> greg go next and steve weigh in. volcker, greenspan or bernanke some. >> i think that each are going to be remembered for different things but volcker and bernanke in particular will be remembered as having managed some severe crises. remember volcker for slaying inflation but
