npr is fantastic. they work very well. when somebody on the internet world, the influential platform picks up to talk about it then it is picked up and reuse and new links with positive ways. if you see that start to happen, that is a winning combination. >> publishers always talk about word-of-mouth. how do you do that? the internet has provided the best way, the best predictable way to generate word-of-mouth. >> that is interesting you call it predictable that is never the word i can use. but it is true that if happens sales follow. >> do regnery authors appear on npr? >> most people think across the spectrum eyeless then two npr. i really like a lot of those but of course, i don't believe our books only sell to conservatives independence or the left is interested on what the authors have to say and are concerned of the issues that we talk about. >> i was going to say.

she found that first, there are the npr republicans, the new hampshire swing voters.ially moderate fiscal lee conservative and they are concerned about government getting big. so they, like romney but they are upset about how far right their party has gone. then there is the america first democrats. and these are the ohio swing voters who used to be reagan democrats, mostly male working classes. they have been hit hard by the recession. they don't like republican trade policies but they also don't think that democrats stand up for traditional american values. my guess is those are a lot of folks in the midwest. and then to the take a break generation, like the colorado swing voters more than 40% of that state's residents are under 30. and they distrust all politicians. they are pro-environment. they are socially moderate and tend to vote democratic but they are interested in third party candidates. finally, the last group are the starbucks moms and dads. those are typical virginia swing voters, suburban voters turned off by extremism. they are fiscally conservative so

back and take a look at those, particularly the five criteria that are enumerated in the npr. those are very much the criteria that we put against how many icbms do you need to have to ensure that they're survivable or submarine or which countries can be on the list. those five questions are the ones that got to us. throughout this process and the vice president was very much involved in this, is is to understand that regardless of what number you come out at, if that is one or a million and one, you're still going to need a nuclear complex capable of supporting the maintenance of that capability. if it's one, you still need a bunch of scientists and engineers that can take it apart and understand how it works. you're still going to need production facilities that can remake it if necessary or can build back up or at the very least dismantle the thousands of nuclear weapons that we're still dealing with in the after math of the cold war. i'll touch on that briefly, needing to get to this bipartisan consensus, although i don't think anybody's ever going to get consensus on anyt

[ inaudible ] >> you come down. schorr is on our tax list. >> so the president is actually being told on the 18th of september about a tax list that was prepared and given to the white house on the 14th of september. so you can hear this being described to the president and the president concurring or believing that this is a good idea. and this is something that the u.s. government should do. well, in the house judiciary committee cited this in article 2 of its articles of impeachment and a bipartisan majority actually passed that article of impeachment in july of 1974. here you can -- [ inaudible ] >> so -- and then this is not just an exhibit about how the white house did abuse powers. this is also an exhibit that shows you where people in our government stood up and said no. this is not right. we should not do this. and you can listen to george schultz tell the story of how in 1972 he refu

addressed and mitigated without introducing additional risk, and i think that's the concern or issues the npr is trying to address. >> senator, i think the central issue here is hedging is a histor risk-management activity as opposed to a speculative nature where you're really trying to generate income, and i think the whole goal would be, and i think this has been the point that's been made, creating a set of controlling in which you can monitor the activities so that the legitimate and important hedging activity goes forward. if you're getting into riskier speculative activity, you want to be able to identify that. i think that's important for the institution to be able to recognize and important for the regulators to recognize. >> mr. chairman, i know my time's up and realize the consumer agency is not particularly involved in that aspect, but i thank you all, and i do hope that political pressures of what has happened do not cause regulators to end up doing something different than they think is good for our banking system and i do hope down the road we'll look at some reforms that may wo
