host: ron pollack. first, she cannot be dropped from insurance because she is older or because she incurred some kind of illness. she cannot be charged a discriminatory premiums because she is older or has some illness. insurers have typically charged women higher premiums than men. that no longer is permissible. that is outlawed. in addition to that, it is going to be a whole lot more cost- effective in terms of how insurance premiums are spent. right now insurers often spend a significant amount of money on marketing, advertising, administration, agencies, and profits. now under the affordable care act, at least 80 cents out of the dollar -- and 85 cents out of the dollar for larger plans, has to be provided for health care and not for all these ancillary purpose is. nancy, anding for that is that there used to being a huge difference between the premiums that people pay as they get older versus those who are younger. so those differences could be 5- 1. the affordable care act narrows that. as we get

host: we are back with ron pollack.e're talking about subsidies or tax credits in the affordable care act. really ans is important part of the affordable care act. very few people actually know about it. what it does is that for people who want to purchase individual coverage in these new marketplaces, some collet exchanges, if they have incomes among four hundred% of poverty they will be eligible for tax credit subsidies. is, fordred% of poverty a family of four, 490 two thousand dollars. for a person living alone it is $46,000. subsidies,redit which will amount to makeands of dollars, will premium costs much less expensive and much more affordable. they are provided on a sliding scale so that those people that need them most help will receive the most help. enrollment period for this begins on october 1. relatively few people who are eligible for the subsidies know about it. peoplean three hours for who are uninsured today do not know about it. this is important and i am so glad you are highlighting this. host: how ma

(piano music playing) (clicking of typewriter) "kafka" just appealed to me because it was different from "sex, lies." radically different. it would take me out of the country, so i wouldn't have anybody watching me. it could be made independently. oh, kafka, will we see you in the cabaret?

joining me alex pollack, resident fellow of the american enterprise institute.nks for coming on the show. i see this ultimately as a positive for the housing market. so many people eager to get in to buy the first-time home or people that want to trade off and now they mayfield offers for their own home. what do you say? >> there is no doubt about the fact we're seeing a cyclical turn. as jim grant wrote, science is progressive and finance is cyclical. real estate finance is very cyclical. and we're now on the upswing and, in that up swing, you get optimism like your last guests were talking about. and along with that the lending markets start to get a little easier although they're very tight overall. gerri: i keep keep hearing from from people. i hear a lot of complaints how lenders won't lend. let me get evidence what we're talking about here. zillow is reporting non-fha mortgage loans, this is bank loans, not government loans, loans with down payments of 5% to 10% are double what they were two years ago. they're growing. so i think a lot of people would see

and a first time guest, joe pollack. third time is a charm. i think i just insulted you. author, political commentator and bright bart.com editor-in-chief. my repulsive sidekick, bill schulz and the lousy waiver. sitting next to me is the fox newschannel anchor with the best hair, rick fulbaum. it is true. what do we know? experts believe pressure cookers were used to make the crude bombs that sprayed chrapnel in boston. doctors report that the explosive devices were packed with small pellets pellets pellets with shart nail-like objects designed to maim. the fbi was investigating the act as a quote, act of terrorism, end quote and added this. >> what we don't yet know is who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act a benevolent individual? >> the special agent in charge of the fbi's boston field office discussed what they found. >> among items partially recovered are pieces of black nylon which could be from a backpack and what appears to be fragments of bb's and nails possibly con

our guest is ron pollack. on thee club of growth gop agenda in congress. then we will talk with elizabeth about food safety. also tomorrow, the primary election in the race to fill the massachusetts senate seat. seeking themen are democratic nomination. they debated a week ago in boston. here is one exchange. i am the principal author of the legislation, intended to make sure that rail security is much more secure within our country. i am the author of the legislation that moves towards insuring chemical plants are more protected within our country. records, i think we both tried our best to work hard. my priorities wound up being the law of the united states in order to protect the security of our country. >> you voted no, though. you voted -- on creating the joint terrorism task force, the group that enable our response. if special agents, a commissioner, if a colonel, if all those federal, state, local agencies cannot work together, we would not have had the effect of response we had. on that bill, i voted yes -- i do not know how you are wrong to spend

and i didn't get my license when i was doing "top gun," but i -- a great friend of mine, sydney pollacknd he said, "you've got to get your license now or you're never going to do it. so, i went out and got it and i -- i actually now -- i fly a p-51. >> jimmy: you actually -- oh, you fly one of -- of the pictures you owned? [ cheers and applause ] >> yeah. >> jimmy: that's amazing. >> it's a beautiful airplane. it was from the tuskegee training squadron. >> jimmy: really? >> tuskegee airmen. so they -- it's a beautiful airplane. >> jimmy: i mean, that's unbelievable. but, i mean, like, do you ever think -- like, you go, "oh, i'm gonna get into acting and i'm gonna end up flying planes." >> no, no. >> jimmy: how cool is that? i mean, i know -- >> i mean, i grew up, you know -- the space program. >> jimmy: yeah, you wanted to go to space. >> yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: hey, we should go to space. >> let's do it! [ laughter ] let's let a couple other guys go first though. >> jimmy: yeah, that's smarter. yeah. >> just let them go and -- we'll watch. >> jimmy: we'll go up with branson. >> yeah, let

but i read jonathan pollack's book enough to know it's not going to be easy, and we can talk out of oneide of our our mouth all they want about how denuclearization is the only legitimate goal. enemy while we're all conceding the north koreans really want these things. it seems to be what we have to do is probably break down the problem a little bit more incrementally. remember as well, kim jong-un as a 29, 30 year-old guy who could be in power for 50 years. at least in his own mind. probably wants to be. do you really want to preside over failing state for 50 years? to gerry's earlier question, we may be getting tired of applying sanctions and doing all the stuff. imagine how the countries are getting the countries applied to them feel. north korea and iran are not in good places in terms of their economic or other development. overtime, kim jong-un will have to face a choice. if you want to go in the direction of me and mark, of vietnam, china and reform? or does he want to go running the hermit kingdom, the only remaining real stalinist state on earth for another half-century? we wan

now, the one that i had, richard pollack, who used to come with me on all tours to russia, he would listen very carefully not only to what i was saying but to the intonation of my voice, as though he would follow in his interpretation the precise intonation which i had used. that was marvelous. mr. gorbachev would get not only the meaning of the words but the emphasis which i placed upon them. otherwise, if they just do what i call a deadpan interpretation, you miss the emphasis and you miss the real importance of what your russian counterpart is saying. c-span: let's go back to your book and how you wrote it. when did you start it? >> guest: i started it about a fortnight before christmas -- not last christmas, the christmas before. c-span: did you have a staff that worked on it with you? >> guest: yes, i did. i needed a historian; i needed an archivist. i had to look up a great number of the papers myself. i had to dictate a great many of my impressions. also, i had quite a number of papers myself, and i wrote a lot down. c-span: and then how did you put it together? did you spend all yo

book jonathan pollack's enough to know it is not going to be easy. we're all conceding that the north koreans really want these things. we have to break down the problem a little more incrementally. kim jong il could be in power for the next 50 years. we may be getting and little tired of applying sanctions. we have been doing pretty well. are not in and iran the places. kim jong il is going to have to he want toce. does reform or stay running the fir hermit kingdom. we want to play for the longer game. i could live with a deal that did not give nuclear status to the north koreans. loosen a little bit of the restrictions if they stop expanding and testing and stop killing south koreans. we can start walking down a path a little more gradually. it is not getting us very far year by year now. >> just one other observation here. this is a hypothetical you have posed. this is a different topic for a different time. wether the north korea that see today in terms of its identity and purposes would be that same north korea in 1- years., 15 there is a tennes
