really timely pushback was in 1987 in the cold february day pushback you think about sugar rain in speed boats in one area and ship, the arraign and scott thomas savage. they stop putting mines in the polls and stopped firing missiles at u.s. flag kuwaiti vessels. so we made our point in iran if anything is more a day to negotiate as a result of that strength than before that exercise. other than i would've done nothing. a year and half, two years ago, if all we did was the day the officials we knew were responsible if we indicted osama bin laden twice. didn't do any good. that said she have to do with radicals who want to kill americans. if you let them kill americans, milk of war. >> host: at the beginning of our discussion he said we should not attack. attack would be bad. how do you negotiate or operate a position of strength if you're not willing to use military force? >> guest: is different to attack facilities in iran and to exercise self-defense against the irgc. the nuclear facilities i can spread and very well defended. including alienation whereas attacking a form of self-defe

by the way, there may be a pushback. here's something that happened. there was a dramatic moment just this afternoon at a town hall meeting of kelly ayotte in new hampshire. she voted against the manchin/toomey bill. you'd think she'd be safe in terms of this. today she was confronted by a relative, a daughter of one of the victims up at sandy hook. erica lafferty lost her mother, the principal of the school. listen to this exchange. >> you had mentioned that day, the burden on owners of gun stores that the expended background checks would cause. i'm just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't as important as that? why is that not something that can be supported? >> erica, certainly let me just say that i'm obviously so sorry, and as everyone here, no matter what our views are, for what you have been through. and i think that ultimately when we look at what happened in sandy hook, i understand that's what drove this whole discussion. all of us want to make sure that that doesn't happen again.

>> you've got to pushback. you've got special interests. we have the aarp, 35, 40 million people. but does the average american know he's going to get a lot more out of social security than he ever put in? that our current approach is unsustainable. that in many ways we're stealing from our children and grandchildren? what we have to do is educate and then push back at the grassroots level against groups like the aarp. >> but there are a lot of bright spots. i'm glad you point them out in the book. the open society, strongest innovation. does that balance out the disfings? >> not quite. we have advantages. look at how far and fast in the energy domain we've come. no one was saying the united states would be the next energy powerhouse of the world. we're exactly that. that shows what we can accomplish. yes, we do have to get our house in order. more than anything else, it means long-term entitlements under control. we have a medium and long-term problem. the real question is whether our politics are up to it to make the sorts of decisions. >> i'm glad you mentioned energy. this is

the only timely pushback was in 1987 and the goals. when we did push back and think a bunch of iranian speed boats and want iranian ship, the iranians got the message. they stopped putting mines in the golf and they stopped firing missiles to you is vessels. so we made our point and iran if any pain was more eager to negotiate with us as a result of that strain and before that exercises straight to it other than that which nothing. when they tried to kill the saudi acid or a year and a half, two years ago, all we did was indict the irgc officials renew her response to both and we indicted osama bin laden twice in didn't do any good. he went on killing americans, blowing up american ships and so we took out. as such you have to do with radicals who want to kill americans. who up until americans, they will kill more. >> host: at the beginning of the discussion he said we should not attack. attack would be the wrong policy. how do you negotiate or operate a position of strength if you're not willing to use military force is? >> guest: is

there was pushback. out of that struggle, all reduced to moosh and politics inserted into it. don't think we should necessarily say this is politics intruding on a cia pure operation. >> congressman, don't you see the muddle in all of in that it's not so clearly watergate as some republicans allege? >> look, i'm not out to try to bring anybody down. i just want the answers. i look at a couple of things. number one, who i think changed the talking points? these are questions that go to motivation. i know that ambassador rice went on every morning show and said this was a result of a youtube video. this was not a terrorist attack. it was frankly told to us in a closed door meeting in congress by hillary clinton, too. as a pilot in the military, i went to survival training and the first thing they tell you, your country, just know your country will move heaven and earth to get you if you're captures and it appears in this case the country didn't move heaven nor earth to come get them. the administration said we had seven hours and we couldn't have made it in time. to me that's ir

so there is this moment weeks ago in hearings where he got some pushback, and the nominations were heldp. there was some tough questioning in the hearing, but then he sailed on through. this was the guy in the white house who was basically in charge of the program. what do you make of it that after all was said and done, little was said and done? >> a thing that was a foregone conclusion. i do not think any democrats were seriously going to deny him. some have been working to get answers to how americans end up on the kill list and also to ask for the memos, the legal authorizations for operating these killings, and they have not been given those documents. we have members of the senate to essentially have a double oath. they are given a high and a security clearance with are supposed to look at the memos authorizing these, and the white even to the members of the senate intelligence committee who are by law supposing to be overseeing this. but if you look at it through the bigger perspective, we have white house officials meeting on these tuesday's in these terror meetings, and that is

well now fifteen percent might not seem like that much to hold but the bills are getting a lot of pushback and a lot of criticism saying that this was just devastating economy and then according to an s. and p. report they started to downgrade banks that should brown better be passed. do you think that these are reasonable standards to impose on the banks yes i do in fact i think i don't think it goes far enough but you know i think it's a great start right now these big banks these these handful five six seven major banks that control an amount of cash equal to sixty five percent of the g.d.p. of our country because they have this implicit government guarantee because they're implicitly so so too big to fail there's this moral hazard issue associated with the you know people. you know the other institutions are loaning to them at lower rates and plus their exposure i mean none of this considers the derivative exposure that blows my mind i mean there there you know just just one of the bad thing is j.p. morgan the other day the financial times which of forty six or seventy six trillion dol

one of the things the president did and it created a lot of pushback from democrats -- and i myself have concerns with aspects of the president's budget -- is he put forward a budget in the nature of a compromise from the beginning. what these budgets often are our -- are a statement of what one party would do if they could have everything their way. the house republican budget is just a blueprint for a very radical republican approach to the economy.huge cuts in investments and changing the nature of medicare and big tax cuts. that is their statement. the house democratic statement includes a balanced approach to the budget deficit. some targeted cuts and revenue. the president put in his budget ideas the speaker of the house republican john boehner had proposed. he submitted his budget in the nature of compromise from the beginning. so much from the nature of compromise that the republican budget does not include the very ideas that speaker boehner put in on things like chained cpi and -- chain cpi and other things. president has gone such a long way that it is creating concern for dem
