there is not one problem with that until the 85 when neil bush there is a savings and loan scandal gets in office and they work to take out. we have had how many financial crashes since they eliminated? did terry carry out any conversation without telling the people commercial bank like mmt is not allowed to gamble in the stockwe market. if you want to put your money and investment bank they are allowed to gamble in the stock market. when these companies when he took it out you did nothing because all these problems. thank you. quickset is bill in new york. go ahead. >> i love it. this is bill, right? bill if you ever want to get in a bar fight go to the annual meetings of the american economic association on ring it up. some people will agree with you completely for adobe a lot of other economists will say that is irrelevant we do not need to worry about it. it is a great bar fight if you like bar fights. in this instance i have not heard anyone say the presence or absence was the problem. so it is a smart comment but probably not relevant to this. >> professor davis or at least yester

neil bush. we had to ask about that. jimmy carter had a situation.ituation with a relative and then their own situation. and it puts -- i think what happens in this case with this particular one is that the staff is in a very difficult position. president biden wants his son defended on some of these things his son does not deserve to be defended. if you look back to the e-mails in the obama white house where they were e-mailing saying guys, i don't think hunter -- and they're nervous about it. but the president has never given them an off ramp because he demands it to him and hunter. >> what he is talking about is there is an e-mail where the president of rosemont seneca that is now defunct, she did everything she can to not use it and they're talking about kate bellingfield telling the bloomberg people. >> yeah, kate just left, she has been there for ages. and you could sense her frustration coming off of the page, right? this is not what i signed up for, right? i signed up to work with joe biden, everybody knows who he is. someone that has a long

neil. i remember george w. bush, looking into a similar trip.our in which he was received as a rock star across europe. despite you know, having done zero in foreign policy. so there's a large precedent for this. there's a particular as you mentioned appeal for desantis to go to israel. but you know, it's interesting. i mean, like last week when desantis had to deal with the fallout of the indictment of president trump, he was a secondary actor in that. he was forced to answer all the questions. same thing now with netanyahu going to israel. it's complicated in that regard. this is desantis trying to effect a brand before trump and other republicans have a chance define him. it's not a rite of passage. we're a month in and he's looking at foreign policy. >> neil: does he have to do it earlier than he planned? does he have to move up the announcement? >> it's a really good question. my guess is yes. i remember, you know, sort of karl rove in 2000 had a theory of george w. bush's campaign. the theory is that every three weeks, bush had to do somet

bush. >> i didn't know that. >> neil: there you go. i can benefit from that.ie gasparino always teaches me something. he's been following the money behind candidates. it's all about momentum and who has it, right? >> yeah, i think if you talk to people with ron desantis, who have been meeting with him, at his mini -- it wasn't a fund raiser. it was a talk that he had while trump was in mar-a-largo last week. i spoke to several people there. he's clearly laying the ground work to do this. there's no doubt that a florida governor talking about wokeness and national issues is not moving towards a presidential run. he will have tons of money if he wants to run. he also knows that while now may be his only chance, it's like a window of opportunity going up against trump. he's always said this. it's changing now. going up against trump was not something that he relished in the past. that being said, it looks like he's doing it and will be announced in the summer and will get through the florida legislative session first and then make his announcement. that's what pe

great presidents in the past that were governors including president bush and president reagan to come to mind immediately. >> neilknow, i was surprised, governor, that given your unique success in this bluest of blue states in maryland where you reach across the aisle, you got a lot of stuff done and you didn't lose people in your own state. they rallied around you, embattling a very scary cancer. you were very open about that. i'm wondering the battle for the soul of your party seems to be poo-pooing those skills and attributes to reach across this side. that's something that rinos do. republicans in name only. you've heard that. do you worry about that? >> i'm a little bit worried that tomorrow people start to feel that way. i was one of the most successful governors in america. i was elected in the blue estate in the country and i'm the second republican governor re-elected in the entire 248 years history of our state. i won in a landslide and i ran 45 points ahead of president trump. now, i would -- that's because i not only won all of the republicans and nearly all of the independents but 30% of the democrat

you go back to is he the jeb bush of the republican party, or is he the barack obama? >> neilad. now, whether a lot of it has to do with this notion that his base is rallying around him in light of this whole alvin bragg thing, i just wonder if there are other indictments coming on either the classified document stuff, what is going on in georgia, examining all of these, but does that further galvanize his base because of the unfairness, they deem, of it all, and desantis just can't make inroads? what do you think? >> well, look, i think bragg is doing this on business records from six plus years ago, so far-fetched it does nothing but strengthen the base. some of the classified documents or other things i think could be more damaging to trump if those come to fruition, and look, people -- republicans are going to look for when ability. they want to get back, have a candidate that in the polls actually defeats biden, or whoever is the nominee. i go back to desantis is the candidate potential. trump has more or less every voter he is going to get. this is going to play itself o

and neil, just to give you an idea how tough the situation is, i'm going to harken back to when george bush invited to do a radio show where there interviewing them they wanted to address social security. we did it with other radio sh shows. within a week i got called up by the white house and said we are dropping it, there is too much on it they us too much. hopefully sooner rather than later or else it will run out. neil: the map does not favor and a lot of people do not like that. depends how we go about fixing things. i think both sides know it have to be fixed but the issue becomes over what period of t time? whose social security retirement age do you delay et cetera. of down question work we have done it before and come up with solutions that didn't get social security decades more shelf life for him talking when ronald reagan was president working with tip o'neill. so there is a precedent for this but thus the less when i can think of it. >> one word comes to mind, taxes. the second word is higher. there will be higher taxes on it. they will probably try to open up the window to ins

bush. it's a real possibility this time around. will others get in? doesn't look like it. but this is dynamic. we'll see. >> neil president end up not doing well in the general election. we'll see. way ahead of ourselves. you shouldn't be focused on the polls at all. i don't know what is wrong with you. you have to stop that. >> i know. i can't help it. my bracket is as bad as my polls. >> neil: don't get me started open brackets. in the meantime, you might have heard a thing or two about this being st. patrick's day. madison is taking a good look at this. madison alworth is at a pub right now or do they call that a bar? >> i've been having a great day here at the east end bar and grill, a lot of drinking, a lot of empties on the bar. we'll take a look at how much money this makes for bars like this one and those across america. i'll have the full report after this. ♪ ♪ luxury exemplified. innovation electrified. with apple music seamlessly integrated. the all-new, all-electric eqs suv from mercedes-benz. see your dealer for exceptional offers on mercedes-benz electric vehicles. all across the country, people ar

neil: you know, phil, i'm just wondering, we're following the money guys, as we should, that can lead to who is getting the original early on bets. but i remember, eight years ago, jeb bush was getting a lot of that money and we know what happened there. are we putting too much, no pun intended, stock in that? >> i think that noelle is absolutely right. the campaign is more getting more funds to have an aggressive burn rate. voters have either made up their mind about donald trump or trying to sort out of the rest of the field. who is going to eventually declare. i think what eventually will happen is, you know, obviously you have trump and then you have numerous former alumni of his administration. and then you've got governor desantis and a handful of candidates. when everything shakes out, i think this will be a race that comes down to perhaps less of personalities, but more of show me your record what you've been able to accomplish recently and a real argument about can you go the distance and can you beat joe biden. there's going to be a lot of voters who say you might not be my favorite, but i think that you give us the best chance to put a republican back in the w

bush. alliance head now. commissioner, great to have you. what do you make of this? you would know what agent do, don't do, can or can't do, do they make house calls? >> well, neilat you have here is an allegation of selective enforcement and anytime you have something like this it has got to be run to ground. it is true, there are unannounced visits that would take place in a criminal investigation or frankly in a collections matter where service thinks there is money that is owed. that doesn't seem to be the case here, at least, what the taxpayer said. seems to go back several years, identity theft, serious issues. to what has to happen here, neil it has to be run toe ground. i think the right thing to do is follow the precedent. you remember last summer when there were allegations that jim comey was improperly targeted for a research audit. they turned it over to the tax inspector general for treasury inspector general for tax administration to take a look at this. that won't take very long in this case. i think that is what should be done here to clear the air, if you will. i would just point out, in ally group we work with cpa firms all over the country and
