pawlenty is saying, you know fewer rewards because fewer risk.regulators and pro regulation people would say is risk equals risk as well. that's sort of the two sides fighting each other here. host: if you want to talk about the u.s. banking system some of these rules we're discussing with danielle kuhseben, give us a call. our phone lines are open, republicans 202-585-3881, democrats, 202-585-3880, independents 202-585-3882 and if you're outside the u.s., 2o 2-585-2883. what is vox.com? >> started by three people from "the washington post" and matt iglesias from slate. we try to take the big stories like dslr and make the stories understandable and put them out in language people understand and show why these things matter. host: vox.com. if you want to see their work. this conversation we're having today started a bit this week from news that federal reserve chair janet yellon talked about some of these rules and potential for future action at a video presented at the federal reserve bank of atlanta 2014 financial markets conference. here's a b

governor tim pawlenty and dr. brzezinski will be here. also, i want to talk about what happened in oklahoma last night. absolutely horrific. >>> coming up next on the "political playbook" a decision whether to hold vote. and struck in legislative limbo. also news you can't use. but first, bill karins with a check on the forecast, bill? >> joe, i know you have such a great interest in families and friends in the pensacola area. they've never seen a flood like this, joe. there's people down there saying how horrible this is. and we're talking about, you know, the water records go back at least 60 to 70 years. and the flooding going on right now is worse than any hurricane we've seen. i mean, that's how bad it is. the totals that we've seen are upwards of one to two feet of rain in the pensacola area since last night. and the last 24 hours. mobile has been very bad. they had a lot of water rescues there. look at this image, joe. this is downtown pensacola last night. water on the sidewalks at least two feet deep. as we go throughout the day,

pawlenty is right, they risk alienating these folks if they look too close to wall street.n't want to give the president a win. i'm surprised they didn't call his bluff, do it and do it this spring to take the issue out of the fall. but that's thinking too strategically and frankly, i also think that republican leaders are worried that if they did that, they'd have primary problems. it will look like they're working too closely -- i can see them tieing themselves in knots to justify why they didn't do it. i think it would have been smarter strategic policies. >> rick santorum was on "morning joe" yesterday. glad to have you back. i hope you enjoyed the sushi. >> i feel bad. i'm not as big of a sushi fans aothers. >>> the latest on the disastrous weather soaking the south. the images are truly heartbreaking. that's why i got a new windows 2 in 1. it has exactly what i need for half of what i thought i'd pay. and i don't need to be online for it to work. it runs office, so i can do schedules and budgets and even menu changes. but it's fun, too -- with touch, and tons of great

it seems like tim pawlenty, at least, sort of understands that.you get the sense inside the halls of congress that there are republicans in the gop who know this is the right thing to do? >> well, i tell you, alex, i think the republican party has become extremely ideological and extremely right-wing. and let me tell you this, this will shock some of the viewers out there, but i suspect that a majority of republicans now are not only opposed to raising the minimum wage, they accept the koch brothers' line that the concept of a minimum wage is undemocratic, it is anti-american, it restricts freedom and they will move us to the day if they get their way, where in high unemployment areas of america, you will have people working for $3 an hour or $4 an hour. to answer your question, i'm afraid republicans moved so far to the right, they accept this eyedy ol that any interference by the part of the government, ie, having a minimum wage, is a terrible thing. >> that's deeply distressing, senator sanders, the idea that they, in some corners of the gop, t

this sunday on newsmakers our guest is former minnesota governor tim pawlenty who currently serves asthe ceo of the financial services round table which represents banks, insurance companies, credit card companies and other financial institutions. among the topics we discuss, credit card security, banks' capital structure and the volcker rule. newsmakers airs sunday at 10 a.m. and again at 6 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> whether it's an award for good journalism as a politician, i declare an interest in not wanting to make a judgment on that. [laughter] but an award for public service for possibly the greatest betrayal of our national secrets of all time strikes me as quite bizarre. and i do think that there's a real danger of a very cozy media without fully understanding the consequences for the dangers that we face in a very dangerous world. so i think there's a dangerous disconnect there. as for "the guardian" newspaper itself, my view was that if i as an individual gave the names of operatives outside a u.k. jurisdiction, that would be in breach of the 2000 terrorism act in the unite

paul 20 --overnor pawlenty talk about the story that they want to tell you to turn that tide. it is an uphill battle. >> what about from the consumer's perspective? how has this made structurally more sound? >> there is still a lot of populist angst against the big tanks. -- banks. there is still a lot of tension between the regulators and the banks they regulate. we see that a lot in some of the settlements that have come down. it has made consumers even more frosty toward the banks, whether it is a mortgage settlement or credit card fraud. you saw bank of america settled for nearly $8 million on deceptive practices. while they are still thinking -- banking with these guys, they are very skeptical about what kind of coverage they could have. at one point, not as much recently -- we saw credit unions taking advantage of that. they are saying, we are not like these guys. we do not cause the crisis. this is working toward their advantage. but the truth is most consumers , are going to stay with the financial institutions that they have been with a do not know if it is out of loy

pawlenty preview of discussing cyber security in the u.s. [video clip] >> on the public policy side, we need a number of things. we need people to have security clearances. as problems arise, they can access information. inyour ceo is traveling singapore and something terrible happens and you have to respond in five minutes, it is good to have your coo or general counsel have a security clearance. two, we need better information sharing. if you think about the array of government agencies with useful information about cyber threat -- sa, homeland security, cia, treasury, and more -- working with them without fear of legal liability is important. that kind of protection than the things you mentioned are important. the current laws need to be upgraded. they're not. congress needs to act and they are not. >> whether it is an award for good journalism, i do not want to make a judgment on that. service, forpublic possibly the greatest betrayal of our national secrets of all time, strikes me as quite bizarre. i do think there is a real danger of a

it left me thinking, maybe a totally unfatherly, my take is he's the tim pawlenty of the democratic party. am i being too hard? a very nice guy with a great resume for republicans and he just never generated excitement. i look at martin o'mally. >> maybe he should have started at the democratic convention with being the head of a rock band like he actually is. and so maybe maybe a charisma would have shown off. he can take the next couple years and build on the record as he's going across the country talking about his legislative record and what he was able to do as governor. as you go across the country and talk to people, state parties, you're at the jefferson dinner, you begin to develop a public p persona, a national persona with charisma that you can then project on a national stage. and that is what he's lacking now because he can get into those speeches and things and there's a lot of statistics and numbers and he's kind of boring sometimes, but as he chris crosses the country, if he's a good candidate, he will be able to gain some of those skills. >> how much appetite -- maybe you

tim pawlenty, former governor of minnesota told his colleagues support the wage. when you have a few small interest groups holding this back it's a shame. so i would urge my republican colleagues to look at our economy and then look into their hearts and i am confident that if they did that, they would have a change of heart and let us bring this and let us pass this bill. i'll say one final thing madam president. if we don't succeed this time, we believe strongly in a fair shot for everybody including those who are paid minimum wage and work hard and long. we will this bill to thompson again and again and again -- to the floor again and again and again and like unemployment insurance, sooner or later, we will get it done. we will get it done. the american dream. a fair shot for everyone demands no less. i yield the floor. mr. harkin: madam president how much time do we have left? the presiding officer: there is eight minutes remaining on the democratic side. mr. harkin: madam president in a few moments we're going to vote here in the senate on whether we're going
