mr. reagan made mrs. reagan famous -- sorry, not reagan, nixon, made her a republican, which if she married someone else would she be a democrat, or did she make the decision on her own? >> abigail, how old are you? >> i'm 12. >> do you have a favorite first lady century have watched them all? >> i don't know, maybe mrs. hoover. >> i hope you make it with us all the way till the end. >> a very discerning 12-year-old. >> why did she establish the betty ford center? >> it sounds like you're one of our younger viewers. how old are you? >> i'm eight years old. >> why are you watching our program tonight? >> my family is really interested in presidents and first ladies. >> are you interested too? do you have a favor president our favorite first lady? >> my favorite president is abraham lincoln and my favorite first lady is michelle obama. >> our three guests spent their lives hoping people would be interested in american history, and that warms everybody's heart to hear young people involved in that. it's time

families or people near and dear to us and of course there are marquee names that talk about this, mrs. reagan, justice sandra day o'connor and others but really this is an equal opportunity epidemic. it hits people at all income levels whether you are the president of the united states like president reagan or a small businessman like my father or like the many women out here in the audience who wear the purple sash. they know this tremendous impact on family life the family budget and ultimately their own budget. how we can come to grips with this and accelerate what we want to do. i want to welcome the witnesses here, dr. collins dr. landis and dr. hodes. i was just said nih. i call it the national institute of hope, that national institutes of hope and i think that is what brings the men and women and family members here. my question because we want to do something in this year's appropriations and i might add every single senator appears also on the appropriations committee. we can feel proud of the fact that we put close to $30 billion into the nih a billion more than last year. we incre

president reagan referred to establishment republicans as the types the tea party does battle with every day as paternal order republicans. mrsms from the british school system and call for establishment conservatives the wet. both believe that the politics of what reagan called the paternal order and mrs. thatcher disdained as consensus politics were road maps to defeat. in fact, one if there had been a tea party in britain, mrs. thatcher would have been its leader. said she scornfully of the consensus politics she believed brought repeated defeats of the conservative party in great britain, and i'm quoting here, the old testaments prophets did not go on to the highway saying, brother, i want consensus. they said, this is my faith. this is my vision. this is what i'm fashion natalie believe. go out, preach it, practice it, fight for it, and the day will be ours. as you go about your challenges this year for the republican establishment, the paternal order republicans, whether here op capitol hill or across the land, i would urge you to take the understanding of ronald reagan that there is a time for choosing and take to hear

mr. perkins because he's rich. >> thanks to president reagan and clinton and a variety of other folks, actually a lot of poor people for very good reasons actually wa pay negative taxes because of things like the earned income tax credit. a lot of people get refind funds that help them lead decent lives. the truth is that the taxes now are actually higher than they were during the clinton era for a variety of reasons. we're talking about investment taxes, a wide range of other obamacare taxes, as well. as the a more complicated picture. it's not quite that simple. fairness is always more and we never ask, is government spending the money as well as possible? we're trying to pit the rich against the middle class against the poor rather than ask the real question, which is how well is this money actually being spent in practice? ing. >> let me just give you all a brief glimpse of how this is playing out politically because it is. it isn't just some rich guy talking about this or rich guys saying things how rich people give more to society and should have a million votes but it's playing out in po

mr. speaker, ronald reagan's admonition to verify is doublely essential in light of -- doubly essential in light of there being no basis of trust and that the consequences of breach are too catastrophic. among the commitments iran must meet has to be the end of its pursuit of nuclear weapons, and compliance with u.n. security council resolutions and cooperation with the international atomic energy agency's robust and effective certification activities. mr. speaker, u.n. security resolution 1737 states, and i quote, iran shall, without further delay, suspend the following proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities. all enrichment related and reprocessing activities, including research and development, to be verified by the iaea and work on all heavy water-related projects, including the construction of a reactor moderated by heavy water to be verified by the iaea. this is the international community acting through the united nations speaking, not only ourselves. mr. speaker, the world has a responsibility to ensure that hese goals are attained, but let there be any doubt that should diploma

mr. obama really aught to do is ask himself, what would ronald reagan do?mpossible, i think, at this point to see carter' vision. his vision was to end the evil empire. so everything he did to include right from the very beginning when moammar gadhafi threatened the line of death, he didn't get up to say that's a red line in the sand. he told the u.s. navy you will cross the gulf and if they do, shoot them down. they did. no big speeches. there will be consequences. all this bluster from the administration has destroyed one of the crucial elements of diplomacy. and this administration has no credibility on either of the visible issues you can see today, ukraine, and the russians are not going to give up this black seats. they are not going to give up syria, the base is crucial to them because it's their only access to the mediterranean. what's happen is because they didn't have a strategy, the obama administration has made putin, for all intensive purposes, the desire of all the issues. and i would predict in the aftermath of the olympics wrapping up today,

president assad, we brought him back to the white house and president reagan said, what can i do for you, reverend jackson? call mr. assad and say thanks, which is not our policy. he called him, he said thanks and they never stopped talking. a break through of releasing in a prisoner camp can lend itself to peace. >> all right. reverend jackson, terri chung, thank you. i now turn you over to wolf blitzer in "the situation room." >> jake, thank you. >>> happening now, an accused terrorist being captured. the dramatic pictures as the u.s. wages a separate attack that would put an american on its kill list. >>> plus, new subpoenas in the chris christie scandal that could happen at any moment as investigators pounce on a new report called bridgegate and what the governor may have known. >>> and snow jam alert. atlanta is bracing for another winter storm two weeks after the embarrassing traffic debacle. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> it's like a scene out of homeland. elite u.s. forces nabbing an alleged al qaeda terrorist on the street in a matter of seconds. this is amid a new debate within the

mrs. thatcher summoned the school system and called her establishment conservatives. both believed that the politics of what ronald reaganis is thatcher sustained as the consensus politics were roadmaps and in fact once suspect if there had been a tea part key party and wn mrs. thatcher would have been the leader and she said that the politics that she believed were repeated defeat for the conservative party in great britain, and i'm quoting here that the old testament process didn't allow into the highway saying i want consensus. they say this is my faith, this is my vision, this is i believe. fight for it and that they will be ours. so as you go about your key party challenge this year for the republican establishment, the order of republicans, whether it's here on capitol hill or across the land, i would urge you to take the understanding of ronald reagan that there was a time for choosing t and take to heart the words of margaret thatcher. go out into the highways of america and make it plain as ronald reagan did. this is my faith and my vision and this is what the tea party passionately believes. go out, practice it

reagan. >>> our market guest tonight says that investors should prepare themselves for volatile and choppy trading for most of the year. he's jim lowell, chief investment officer at advisor investments. mr. lowell, welcome back. you see the possibility or the likelihood rather of a pullback on the record of 15% to 20%. so we're either a third of the of the way through that if you measure by the dow or a fifth of the way through it if measuring by the s&p. how quickly do you think this spasm goes by? >> well, it's a great question, tyler. the surprise so far this year has really been that this has been sort of an unhealthy pullback. it's been very indistinct, very volatile. really reflecting i think significant uncertainty as regards not just the equity but the income market's near-term future. the pullback of a magnitude of 10, 15, maybe as high as 20% would likely be spurred more by fear of assumptions than by fundamentals. at least that's true currently. we're seeing no fundamental signs of a catalyst for any sort of significant selling. but fear has proven to be a significant factor in terms of both the movement up in the market and in the short-term down drafts that we've seen. so i

mr. horsford: thank you. i appreciate my good friend for yielding. and the remarks by the former president, president reagan, speak to the reality of the consequence of congress failing to act and what that will mean to our economy, to average americans, to businesses, to the global economy because of the role that the united states plays, and toll vat of the dollar. and -- and to the value of the dollar. and to somehow hold this process hostage because members on the other side have still not come to terms that the election is over, the president won, and it is time for this congress to work with him to move our country forward. not to use this as another means to extract more concessions or demands in order for you to do your job. you don't have to agree with the president on everything, but what you do have to do is your job, on behalf of the american people that elected you. now, while no one knows with certainty the full extent of the damage to the economy, should the u.s. default on its debts, and we don't know because it's never happened, because every other congress, regardless of party, regardless

reagan's figure of 38%. and it's well over the percentages during the bush and clinton presidencies. in fact, in mr. obama's second term, the figure tops 50%. but white house press secretary jay carney defends the decisions. >> being a donor to the president's campaign does not guarantee you a job in the administration, but it does not prevent you from getting one. and the fact of the matter is, the president has made nominations to ambassadorial posts and other posts from the ranks of the private sector, from government service and has put in place qualified nominees across the board. >> ifill: the foreign service association says it plans to make recommendations this month on setting qualification requirements for future nominees. >> ifill: for more on this i'm joined now by nicholas burns, a career foreign service officer and former ambassador to n.a.t.o. and walter russell mead, editor at large of the american interest magazine and a professor of foreign affairs and humanities at bard college. mr. burns i believe i can call you by your former title ambassador burns. people purchasing ambassadors

mr. carom, first of all, welcome back to the show. it's great to have you back. >> great to be back, larry. >> let me ask you, i'm an old reagan guy, youax rates in in return for -- i say that's pro-growth. it looks like it's being scored as pro-growth, but, sir, let me ask you, you've heard this today. i'm getting e-mails, and texts and everything and tweets from conservative friends of mine. they had two big beefs. number one, why are you raising the tax on banks? and number two, why did you create this ten-percentage point surcharge on the upper end, which really gives you a third bracket of 35%? >> right. well, first of all, let me say 99% of taxpayers, their top rate, is going to be 25. when i was in school 99% was an "a." as a result of the fiscal cliff at the end of last year, it was important to keep what we call the distribution lane neutral code, which is top incomes will not get a tax cut. this is still a rate reduction from current law, by the way. it is a surcharge. because it's on a different definition of income. for example, production income, manufacturing, those will all be a top rated 25%. so the op was to get at muc

mr. president, i wish he were not speaking the truth, but that reality did not emerge on the house floor last week. on the house floor, the president claimed -- quote -- "if john f. kennedy and ronald reagan could negotiate with the soviet union, then surely a strong and confident america can negotiate with less powerful adversaries today. the reality is that the claim that we are negotiating with iran from a position of strength and confidence is a blinkered view of reality because it isn't even clear our president is negotiating towards actual victory. capitulation is not victory. president obama announced in the state of the union that in order to keep negotiations going, he would veto any additional sanctions congress might pass to pressure iran to actually stop pursuing nuclear weapons, a position that is supported not only by his current administration but expressly by his former secretary of state hillary clinton. iranian foreign minister jabad zariff has good reason to announce publicly that he has -- quote -- no fear of congress. when ronald reagan negotiated with the soviets, deit from a clear strategic perspective of we win, they lose. standing for u.s. national interests, he w

reagan ideas. however, the real problem for american manufacturers are imports from china that are subsidized by cheap currency and mrent doesn't do anything about it. and what's more he wants to negotiate new trade agreements that will make it even more difficult for our manufacturers to compete by opening up our markets to foreign manufacturers without getting us a fair deal on currency and subsidies and also getting us into their markets. you know, the best selling vehicle in china are buicks we can't make them in michigan and send them there simply because of the regulations and tariffs and other barriers. we can't get our competitive products into china and the president doesn't do anything about it. >> that starter savings account that the president talks about to help americans plan for a time separate from that 401(k) plan. what did you make of that? >> i like it but i want those little people to be able to invest in stocks through a vehicle like vanguard. government bonds have a terrible investment for them. let them have a stake in america. they might see a lot of this class warfare coming out of the white
