the interview with bree olson was so intriguingover every level that we wanted to immortalize it.took the audio from the interview and combined it with video from an old episode of "heman," and here's how that came together. >> what got you interested in the adult movie business? >> it's something i'd always been interested in. i've always been very insafable sexually. just because i've chosen to do what everyone else does in this whole entire world in camera does not make me ineligible to be around children. so, you moved in and as you are moving in you find out that there's another woman living there, too? >> she did not look too happy to see me there. >> jimmy: that's -- [ applause ] bree olson in a rare threesome with the reptile men. speaking of unusual show business relationships, this is one that hasn't been getting a lot of attention. there's an actor named doug hutchison. he was in "the green mile" and played the leader of the dharma initiative on "lost" adjust married a 16-year-old. with the content of her parents. courtney stoden is his wife. they gave an interview to e

olson? >> i think i should defer to the economist. >> ok. >> just to add one factor to the mix here, which is the housing bubble, so as real estate prices were going up, people were able to increase household debt with larger and larger mortgages to finance current consumption. i think with a housing bubble burst, we are seeing people deleveraging in significant ways. >> ok. sir? >> two things. the first is i think you are right to put your finger on the long term leverage in what will be a long term cost to deleveraged as we move forward. the reasons for it can be cultural, and they can be economic, and to highlight here in the context of the tax code is the absence of a consumption tax or a value-added tax, or alternatively, an income tax which does not favor saving. that is a piece of that puzzle. certainly, if you think about things that are within our demesne and our ability to control, a reason to think hard about whether the income tax we have no is the right one. >> thank you. mr. me

olson, as head of that task force, chose only to discuss the process and not the decisions. senator saxby chambliss laid out the concerns including accusations that the white house intended to transfer detainees to the u.s. in a secretive way. >> it was to be a stealth move. they were going to show up here, and we were going to announce it, said one senior official, describing the swift, secret i operation -- secretive operation that was designed by the administration to preempt any political outcry that could prevent the transfer. >> reporter: in response, olson admitted the decision on the transfer of two detainees had been made by april 14, 2009, and that when he met with the republican congressman eight days later, he was not told about those decisions. olson claims he did not have the authority to disclose that information. >> i do understand his frustration. i don't, i did not mislead, i was not in a position to decide myself at that policy time that i was going -- at that time that i was going to lay out exactly what that decision making process was. we had met before

olson? >> i agree with those comments. i think it would be much better if we had a lower statutory rate and we did things to broaden the base, which would have the effect of increasing the effective rate of bring it closer to the statutory rate. the differences now i think illustrates the ways in which the tax code directs resources as opposed to resources been directed on the basis of what produces the best pretax returns, and it will maximize national income and economic growth if we remove those distortions. >> senator hatch, i will just to emphasize the point. when we are looking at the statutory rate, we're looking at the marginal tax rates. the importance of marginal tax rates, because it is at the margins, it influences the next investment with the next financing choice that will be made. high marginal tax rates tend to distort choice. they promote debt equity, a tax shelter behavior, reduce incentives to invest, which reduces incentives for future growth. that is what economists gene

olson, only 10? how long is this book going to be anyway? and so i realize that i needed to turn in part to why we get so many of these bad ideas, why law schools keep turning out certain kinds of bad ideas. and it's not just that the randomly generated bad ideas. and some of that but only some of it is ideological. todd mentioned that the law schools, let me understate again, are not exactly hot beds of libertarian and conservative thinking these days, despite the best efforts of richard epstein, randy barnett, john maginnis, richard epstein, richard epstein. [laughter] they are outnumbered and it depends on which study you look at. and some studies it's only six to one or eight to one ratio. another one found 28 to one at stanford, that must be exaggerated. 23 to one at columbia. those figures may be exaggerated, and yet harvard according to people who did should know to go for 30 years without hiring a single republican. elena kagan ended i believe. over much of that time harvard maintained a committee for diversity. while it wasn't hirin

[applause] >> for more information visit walter olson's web site, overlawyering.com. dr.entry, the title of your book is in the middle and on the edge and the process you mentioned, how twin falls has always been on the middle and on the edge of different parts of idaho civilization. what you mean by that? >> well, twin falls is located between present though -- present-day pocatello lacy and those areas had a larger indian population in the beginning. so we are almost exactly in the middle there. and what i've really argue in my book is twin falls is in the middle. it is between two canyons which is easy to see. but it is also in the middle of between boise and pocatello. if one looks to the south it is in the middle, basically northern nevada. and the sun valley. of course everybody loves to be in the middle. it is not always fun to be on the edge and i argue that the fact that twin falls has been on the edge in a number of different instances has made people in twin falls more defensive than they might be, and they think really it is crucial in understanding our histor

by the way, we were told in 2008 by the bush appointees, ben bernanke and hank olson and others, that we were facing something as bad as the great depression. it could have been worse than the great depression because 80 years ago, there was a grad angularity to the economy. things could be going very bad in one place that they could be going good in another place. these are now interconnected. you will not get the same period. some of our friendly competitors underwent such turmoil themselves in last few years and are worse off than we are today because we have dealt with this stuff more forthrightly. in no longer have this -- many of your payment institutions are complaining loudly to the regulators that america is nicer in compensation. there are some legitimate issues that have to be addressed. imposing margin requirements on end users in other countries is one. some of the institutions sometimes found like a 14-year- old child of divorced parents trying to play money against a daddy. the regulators have been talking and i don't think we see any [unintelligible] that includes a ca

access to your cell phone information, this coming in the form of a statement yesterday from matthew olson for the supersecret nsa, saying this in front after senate committee yesterday saying quote. there are certain circumstances where the authority may exist to use your cell data to track locations of americans inside the country. the trouble right now there are no definitive laws or guidelines as what the government can access as pertains to your cell phone information, jenna. right now lawmakers are working on a couple of things to define it more clearly. jenna: it would be interesting if you got a text message from the government, right? i haven't received that yet. we'll keep on the story, shibani. good one. 2:00 p.m. eastern time we'll see you on fox business. thanks a lot. we have to get to our must-see moment of the day, rick. our viewers have been voting which one they want to see more of. >> say hello. he was born july 4th at the antwerp zoo in belgium. this is your must-see moment of the day. i never heard of okapi before today. i must admit. they are related to giraffes. they

. >> now on booktv, walter olson arguing that poor policy ideas born in law schools migrated to the statusof national policy. the discussion takes place at the heritage foundation in washington, d.c. and runs about an hour. >> what is taught in the law schools in one generation will be widely believed by the bar in the following generation said one great law professor, and he might have added that it will also because it is widely believed by the bar that winds up being believed by much of the press and public. this was not a new story to me. i've written several books about the legal system and in more cases than not, that can be traced back to academic origins. if you have a beef with the system, for example, in the united states, you should take it up with the dean crosser of berkeley. if you think that our system of sexual harassment law is less than ideal, you're problem is with professor katharine mchien and so it is with class action law and many, many others, and this can be traced big and small. i tell a study in the book about workplace law of the then novel idea that the law oug

olson: 135 missions, over five million miles flown in orbit, construction of the international space station, repair of the hubble telescope, the list goes on and on. we owe an imdemens gratitude to these those heros on challenger and columbia and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice for space exploration. most of all, we recognize the best space tri-team in the world for giving our country the honor of such incredible achievements and i am proud beyond words to represent the johnson space center, the home of u.s. human space flight now and forever. may god bless america and remember this remarkable team. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mrs. capps: last week we enacted consumer protections as part of the dodd-frank reform and consumer protection act. this create the consumer protection bureau. it was the first act dedicated to protecting consumers from predato

olson: mr. speaker, congress has a very important decision to make very soon. on whether or not the -- to increase the national debt ceiling. today our national debt ceiling is a staggering $14.3 trillion. and the president is seeking a $2.2 trillion increase to our debt limit. an increase to our nation's debt ceiling that is not accompanied by equal or larger spending reduction would be reckless and arrogant. speaker boehner was right when he said, i quote, it's true that an america default would be irresponsible, but it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling without simultaneously taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and reform the budget process. this debate is a unique opportunity to achieve significant and serious spending reforms if washington, and to prove to the american people that their employees, the members of the united states congress, are listening to them. i believe this is our best chance for the foreseeable future to obtain substantial incredible long-term deficit reductions to reform washington's taxpayer dollars and save a
