alvin roth right here with us.about robert shiller when you get that nobel prize what happens? how does your opinion become more valuable? how do people treat you differently? alvin roth: journalists seem to think that you know everything. of course, we only know what we know. part of being elevated to being a nobel laureate means being more careful about what you say. brendan greeley: does that help at home as well? is that the nobel laureate asking for this? tom keene: when you look at the phrases of the moment the things we hear from the professors or from others, how much can we dovetail the world of academics into the world of mr. dwyer? alvin roth: it takes us a long time to know anything. the difference between journalists and historians is the difference between journalists and academics. we don't study the news. we study what is available to study. this is longer-term data and trends and institutions. tom keene: i think he's blaming the media for this. brendan greeley: it is generally our fault. this is ho

inspector general roth. mr. roth: thank you for inviting me here today to discuss tsa's programs. before discussing tsa's challenges, i would like to acknowledge the whistleblowers i join on the panel today. we are grateful when employees are willing to step forward to identify problems within the agency. whistleblower disclosures have saved lives as well as taxpayer dollars. whistleblowers play a crucial role in keeping our department efficient and accountable. we review over 16,000 complaints per year, more than 300 per week, to better understand and respond to potential waste fraud, and abuse in the department's programs. with regard to tsa, we face a classic asymmetric threat in attempting to secure our transportation systems. tsa cannot afford to miss a single, genuine threat without potential catastrophic consequences. yet a terrorist only needs to get it right once. tsa's thousands of officers conduct tedious tasks that require constant vigilance. complacency can be a huge detriment to tsa's mission. ensuring consistency across tsa's largest workforce which -- across dhs's

carper: thank you for john roth. john: i had a good fortune of meeting with the admiral in one of those hearings. i think the biggest thing in its understand and i think he does understand this is that there is a significant challenge here. i'm not sure that has been embraced tsa wide. in order to fix a problem, yet the fully understand it and i believe he is fully committed to that. sen. carper: my last question. give us some good advice. let's get back to one point. it is great. that is our to do list in terms of waste and abuse fraud. give us one great to do for our list. give us one good one. robert: understand thejohn: understand the risks behind your management processes and manage those risks. if you do not manage those risks, you will not be able to manage it right. sen. carper: thank you. rebecca: i will take one out of my statement and that is that we have no one in the field overseeing the numerous contracts with their tsa has engaged in. we have no way of measuring the performance of the contracts as bein

roth? >> certainly the airports themselves under law have the obligation to certify if someone meets the criminal history check. in other words, void of any disqualifying criminal offenses. that is 450 airports across the country. tsa is obligated to do a quality check on that. since they are not electronic records it has to be manual. if they do an airport inspection they might do an annual review of only 1 percent of the applications to determine whether or not the airport works who have the badges have disqualifying offenses. >> i think that is one of the most disturbing things i hear. airport operators are not doing their due diligence to make sure people they are sending to you to get the stamp of approval are not giving you the relevant information you need. >> and i share your concern. it is especially concerning given the fact there are no layers of security once you have a badge that means you have unescourted access to anywhere in the airport. you can load baggage, have access to

roth? >> i have the good portion of meeting with the admiral prior to one of his hearings and i think the biggest thing that he needs to understand, and i think he does understand this, is an acknowledgment that there is a significant challenge here. i am not sure that has been embraced tsa wide, so in order to fix a problem you have to fully understand it, and i think he is committed to doing that. >> my last question is similar to my first two. give us some good advice. come back and pick up one good to do list for us. give us just one great to-do for our list, maybe from confirming a good leader, but give us a good one. >> understanding the risks you are attempting to manage, and understand the risk behind the technologying and understand the risk behind the management processes and manage against the risks and if you don't understand the risks you will not be able to manage against it. >> i will take one out of my statement and that has to do with the fact that we have nobody in the fie

in their important new book, "disinherited" roth the manhattan institute's diana furchtgott-roth and jared meyer elaborate powerfully on this theme. we should not be surprised by persistently high levels of unemployment among the young nor by their delays in establishing themselves as independent adults adults. the young today face an array of obstacles that we are creators for not just spending on long-established entitlement programs but workforce regulations, licensing requirements, wage and hour laws and a new expanded health care entitlements that specifically increases the cost. so it is that so many young adults are as paul ryan observed in the last presidential campaign back living in their childhood bedrooms. as taxpayers we have to be concerned about the situation. as parents we can't help but be concerned about the situation. both jared and diana are multigenerational -- are here to discuss the findings and arguments of "disinherited." diana furchtgott-roth will speak first followed by jared meyer. diane is the former chief economist of the u.s. department of labor and ser

roth also testified about this new report that says the tsa missed 73 individuals on the government's terror watch list, who worked for major airlines, airport vendors and related airport employers because of a lack of access to key data. dhs says it is trying to fix both of the problems at the tsa but roth is still worried. >> although nearly 14 years have passed since tsa's inception, we remain deeply concerned about ability to execute its important mission. >> reporter: roth declined to comment on the news reports about the failures of the tsa screeners. he would only confirm his office had conducted covert penetration tests at airport checkpoints. melissa? melissa: wow, chaos, confusion, i don't like any of this. peter, thank you so much. david: we're going to stay on it throughout the hour. before the evacuations at the white house, press sect josh earnest addressed what we talked about yesterday, the snub heard throughout the world. iraqi's prime minister edged out by a trio of world leaders including president barack obama at a g7 summit in germany. all captured on videotape. l
