i reese presidently became a homeowner and i intend to raise my family here and i feel this is a way to give back to my community. i did a survey of my life and decided i wanted to do more in volunteering. i've been asking people about commissions. i decided this commission was of the greatest interest to me. [speaker not understood] schools, the infrastructure of our future and generations to come. second, i'm a long-time believer and advocate of transparency. [speaker not understood] core value that i hold really dear and i think this committee is actually providing the transparency for our tax dollars. and on a personal level i've talked to people who sit on this committee. [speaker not understood], and both of them spoke highly of this committee and the impact that they felt they were able to have and the personal satisfaction they derived from sitting on this committee. i believe i can bring some metrics, focused measurement benchmarking skills that i've learned through large scale project management over the past 13 years in the private sector to this committee. finally, i just

it reese -- it's not an immediate problem. >> you agree with the president on that? >> yes. but his point, as he went on to say in that interview, is that we don't really need to do anything at this point. i would argue that we do need to do something. the american people know that you can't continue to spend money that you don't have and that's what the president wants to do. the president also said that in interview that, his goal wasn't merely to balance the budget. he talked about a balanced plan, what's balanced about a budget that never gets to balance? >> let's take a listen to exactly what the president obama said about balancing the budget? >> no, we're not going to balance the budget in ten years, my goal is, not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance. my goal is how do we grow the economy and put people back to work. if we do that, we'll be bringing in more revenue and if we control spending, potentially what you have balance. >> a quick response to that. >> that's exactly the point. balancing the budget will in fact help our economy. it will help

"i want to be like mike" is the category. >> jimmy: yeah, yeah. >> steve: these are famous michaels. >> jimmy: and i need nine to win? >> steve: yes, you need two more than you can get, but go. [ laughter ] ready? 30 seconds on the clock. >> jimmy: maybe i'll get bonus if i get all of them. will you give me nine if i get all of them? >> what? >> jimmy: just say yes.

reese would collapse as a state what i meant was state property the enterprises that underpin the economy agriculture which we have upgraded and you have to go back to the time when i first became president it was a time when we couldn't feed our own people we had empty shelves and there was no food on the table as i say today we have plenty of food for our people and our prices are much lower than in russia or ukraine or the e.u. today we export five billion dollars worth of produce annually we have invested a lot of money into two major upgrades in agriculture. new people in power decide to sell it off. salaries will face disaster and i want our industrial enterprises or companies working in other sectors to be auctioned off for a penny i would like better reese to be run by a man who will not go to extremes bowed rather continue this cause domestic policy should be in line with the will of the people and the way of life which will emerge at that time not only in better ruth but in the whole world. by tell me honestly your political opponents to even take them seriously for example those still ran in two thousand and ten for a presidential election just what is to be honest i don't tak

one of the reese splits in the party and we saw it in the last week has been over national security. you backed rand paul's filibuster of the president's drone policy in the senate and backed the sequester of across-the-board cuts even in the pentagon. isn't one of the gop's strengths with the american people that it is tough on national security? >> you can can be fiscally responsible and tough on national security. >> chris: the drone has nothing to do with fiscal issues. that is a question -- >> there is two issues here is. one is about basic civil liberties and i think the new gop reflected by rand paul's willingness to challenge the status quo in both the republican and democratic parties is a healthy thing and young people in particular they are looking for leadership that is willing to challenge the idea that the government is always right. i think that is where we are as well. but on defense and on any frankly any budget any program any department of the federal government let's all acknowledge that there is waste and things that had to to be eliminated and a trimming of defense would be a very healthy thing. and you have to pu
