and if you look at ratner's article, he wants to get young people to save for the future, but what healyze is why young people aren't saving. the metrics are correct, they're not saving, it's because they're too worried about surviving in this economy. they don't have the disposable income to save a 401(k)-type platform, and to say that we should pass a bill that 9% of the income of millennials should now go towards some oligarchic type of 401(k) system is ridiculous, and to say he could save us from ourselves is totally preposterous. gerri: okay. so let's look at the metrics, you mentioned them. workers under 25, 43% are saying they contribute 4.3% of their income on average. once you go a little older, workers 25-34, 62% are saving, they contribute 5.5% of their income on average. and then you go to 45 plus, people in that age group, 70% are certainly saving, and they contribute 8.7% of income on average. you know, charlie, it sounds to me that steve ratner is just trying to overcome what is really just human nature. you don't really think about these issues, these problems until yo

here for a fair and balanced debate, ellen ratner, bureau chief of talk radio news services, and bradlakeman, form deputy assistant to president george w. bush. good to see both of you. >> thank you so much. >> good to see you. >> very good. i start with you, ellen. i ask you wherein lies the biggest division. >> well, you know, i think it obviously has to do with how much money is put in the military, how much money is to go for the safety net, and what the different philosophies are. obviously, the democrats would love to put more money in the social safety net and lessen the military. and vice versa for the republicans. and therein lies the rub. >> and brad, do you see it that way? and while you're answering that, tell me if you think there is anything usable in the democrats' budget plan. >> well, first of all, the democrats in the house are certainly out of touch with even the white house. they resoundingly rejected the president's own budget. and if we remember, the president by law is supposed to submit a budget on time, first week in february of every year. he never does. he d

this -- brett ratner is excited about doing it.y we will start in summer or fall and get rolling on it. we are going to have some fun. he is really excited about doing it. >> the other film everybody has been talking about is the next top gun, which i can say you have been working on it but this is a long process for you and tom cruise. you made some headlines recently , sort of setting the stage first is -- setting the stage of cruz versus the drones. >> i think we are going to take advantage of what the world is like today, with the drones taking over in a lot of our ward. is the pilot obsolete? are those guys -- are they gone from now? i don't think so. you still have to make quick decisions. we are hopefully going to highlight both worlds. >> what is the timing on that one? been working on it for over 30 years, so i wish i could tell you how long it will take us to get there. fun working with tom. unfortunately tony scott, who came up with the idea i just told you, passed away. that is very sad for us. >> i believe david elliso

[ audience ohs ] [ applause ] >> they hijacked my account that day. >> seth: no, i don't think. because you followed it up immediately. you predicted correctly, because, much like our audience, you wrote -- then if the audience starts booing, it sets off a sensor that releases a bunch of tomatoes from the ceiling that ruins everybody's outfits. >> yeah. well, i actually -- it's funny you bring that up, because i'm thinking for this show, you want to get a viral video. hot viral videos. nobody watches s

ron bloom and steve ratner before him were there representing treasury as the majority shareholder. what are your thoughts on the government's involvement with the company it owns, failing to recall cars. anthis goes back to important point. are the people who are involved understanding about automobiles? the answer is i do not think so. they just looking at finances? i am sure there were a lot of dresses at the time, but the people on the board, do they know how to make a car? to review that is well. question will make the case to review it this year. when you say gm has to take responsibility going forward. there is talk about a $3 million fund. >> gm has to find out where it failed. it is not just the airbags that failed. it was people and engineers looking at it. selling a switch to did not expect and they spend their time saying, can you just accept this instead of fixing the situation? that is the responsibility on want to see. goes, gmee where it establishes a fund for that. probably a good idea to take care of those things. overall, someone standing in front of the american

ratner. a lot of people got rave reviews. does this infringe upon the obama administration? it was one of the most important decisions the president made at the time. there is no doubt that throughout the whole country, particularly in the midwest come it had a huge impact. we will see if it affects our sales of new cars. it's a terrible way to start your tenure. >> were you at any meetings at the white house? >> i was not in the white house in 2009. i was part of discussions on the outside. the entire industry looking like it was going to go over the cliff. >> you are not focused on the recalls? i don't think people are saying that we should not have bailed out gm or chrysler. >> david plouffe can talk while tying his shoe. how do you do that? speaking of the bailout of gm , that bailout means that gm is not liable for anything filed before 2009. does the company need to make an exception for that? of theruptcy is one great facets of the american economy system. we love to forgive. we love people to knowledge that they are wrong and apologize and get over it. our willingnes

back with us on set, michael steele, steven ratner.el well. >> will you explain that. >> and why is he still alive? isn't it like -- don't the pilots going we're at 40,000 feet, it's 8,032 degrees below zero. >> at 35,000 feet you have 30 to 60 seconds of useful consciousness from lack of oxygen before you lack out. it will be 80 to 100 degrees below zero fahrenheit in the air and people speculate that because there's some systems and hydraulic lines running through there, it may have kept him warm enough to stay alive but he was unconscious. but the amazing part is usually when this happens, when the wheels come down -- >> you fall out, right? >> you fall out. he must have wedged -- he was unconscious i think when he landed but he must have wedged himself in there in some way that when the wheels came out, he didn't fall out. it's really extraordinary. there's many cases of people trying this -- >> it wasn't just a jump from d.c. to new york, it was five hours. so you can be passed out for five hours and wake up in maui? >> i guess yo

. >> to be fair and balanced, ellen ratner went on to say, the president can raise $100 million and doesn'tun his administration. however, it has the hint of something amiss. >> $100 million is a lot of money. >> we had democratic governors signing off, you had governors who were worried about the environmental impact initially who passed the review phase in the state where is the governors came through and said, now we are on board. the recrew came through. with the jobs created, 42,000 jobs potentially created, but ellen pointed out there's controversy on the numbers being true. but the ceo said those numbers are accurate. >> what is interesting is that the democrats are all over the coq brothers for giving so much to republicans in money, but tom steyer is giving so much money to the democrats. and influencing decisions like this one. >> let me just say this, he talks about the environmental impact, but we know the oil already coming in on trucks is even dirtier by coming in on trucks across our border from canada. >> national security, there are some who believe we should keep this goin
