do with the rest of the world but what's happening here really and this is has israelis very much perturbed so what's going to be in the next ninety days and what bothers us also is the principle because if the principle is that this is a peace process and therefore in order to get it going we need to stop settlements people are left with the idea that the settlements are actually the obstacle to peace and that's exactly what isn't happening here jews living in america are not the obstacle to peace the obstacle to peace is the palestinians refusal to say that one day they will live in israel with peace or even recognize the jewish nation's right to its own home for us to give our economy what he says about new america post a letter in this very heart of this proposal is to protect israel against any international resolution here so what is the point what is the point of setting this up with the united nations if you can just buy yourself a lot either. well i don't think that israel's buying itself a lobby i think that many people in the united states realize that the way israel goes is the

i'll be more academic and say you don't want to have people perturbed -- [laughter] >> you're going torb some people doing this. >> what i would suggest to you is the fundamental challenge, and there's no easy answer to this, michelle is right, when you make change, some people are going to get upset. the balancing act at a university in the school system ultimately is, well, how do you balance how many people are getting upset versus how many people are congresswomanning to your -- coming to your side? and i think we learned, i think michelle said something really great, you learn from every person's experiences. the worst thing to do is sit on the sidelines and say, this person did it the wrong way. it's easy when you're not the leader to assume what works, right? >> but i just want to yet to the questions in just a minute, but i just want to get, really, a little bit more narrow on this. there's one thing in an academic setting, there's another where you're dealing with an entrenched middle crass, and the superintendent goes in ask says we're going to close down schools and fire tea

caller: i am a little bit perturbed that congress gets a raise. big businesses get a raise. why are you declining our social security increases when we have paid into it for so many years? host: it sounds like this could be a big issue for seniors who came out to vote for a republican. if republicans vote no on this, it could come back to haunt them. guest: it is a real concern. the callers are definitely showing that. i do not know that democrats have the will right now to push something like that, but it could create a real backlash among low-income elderly, back to a democratic side. it will be something we have to watch. host: paul kane is in washington to cover the charlie rangel ethics hearing. we will also be covering the hearing on c-span 3 and c-span radio. coming up next, we give you the opportunity to speak to two new members of congress. mike lee of utah is here. hansen clarke, a democrat of michigan, he will also be here with us after that. >> the co-chairman of the president's deficit commission says if congress has toace up to red ink problems that threaten am

that's why i'm a little bit perturb $with the republicans and mr. boehner for not meeting with the president. i was looking forward to hearing about that meeting. it's time for them to begin to gove govern. they have said over and over again no, no, no, no, no. now it's time to govern. >> ezra, what's your prediction, how does that end up? >> short-term extension, one to three years, probably one to two years actually. democrats continue get anything -- >> for everything? >> everything, tax cuts for the rich, for the middle class. short-term extension does less to the deficit. it's a way of kicking the can down the road a bit. i don't think they've got enough internal cohesiveness to do anything different. republicans don't have the power to force them into a permanent extension. we just do the easiest thing and make sure there's no tax increase next year. >> donny deutsch? >> i think basically if you're obama, you're not losing your base. they're not going anywhere. i think it's the right move for the economy. i think juan or two-year extension kee
