from 2010, it's the exact same playbook we're seeing all over the country when it comes to obamacare. on the one hand you have democratic senate candidates as well as gubernatorial candidates either trying to run away from obama, not have him campaign in the state, but then you have obviously republicans trying to tie obama to these democratic candidates. what you haven't seen a lot of, however, is a real full-throated defense of obamacare, and in some ways you have to hand it to sheheen for writing to chris christie and calling hmm out on essentially what is a bit of hypocrisy there by funding this ad that criticizes sheheen for doing exactly what chris christie and a number of other republican governors have done. >> e.j., if you're going for any form of consistency here, the republican governors association would then have to run ads against republican candidates for governor like christie last time around, running for re-election, who support the medicaid expansion. >> i think there are eight of them counting christie who have taken the medicaid expansion, including joh

it is today's topic called the playbook for your pocketbook. great to see you.ne of those events where you don't necessarily want to look forward to. your demise or anybody else's demise, but you were just saying that planning for your estate is also about planning for your investments currently. can you explain how those two things come together? >> estate planning is the ultimate wealth management exercise. at the j.p. morgan morgan private bank, we quantified the benefits of estate planning. a family that just uses four basic strategies can increase the wealth they give to their families by 22% or setting your investment by the portfolio would have to outperform the benchmark for 25 years just to keep up with the families that get the basic estate planning. >> you can increase the amount of money that is available for you and your family if you follow some guidelines? you don't have to worry about whether the market goes up or down. this is do the paperwork, spend the time, you will be rewarded later on. one is you have to organize and understand what your as

getting in the way of obama care is a part of the playbook for the midterm elections.ple are clearly willing to throw down the gauntlet to protect our own power, in this case, tragically, at the expense of their own citizens. the death panels have already met. that death panel was george's george'sr -- legislator. they got together the other day and decided they would wrest authority away from the governor to expand medicaid to ensure it never happens. woulden pass a bill that criminalize the passing on of credible information by stadium ploys tell people to enroll in medicaid. if the governor signs the other bill that was passed by legislature the other day, it will be a crime for state employee to tell ordinary citizens how to enroll in the affordable care act. we are at a new low and a scary time in history. >> can your moral monday protest, they are part -- spreading across the south on these social and economic issues . it is a region that is more commonly seen as a conservative region. what is your expectation of the impact of the movement in georgia and some of

epa's continued use of the playbook has led to dire consequences for americans. for example, on march 10th of this year "the new york times" reported on the story of 81-year-old erin steven country tiff of columbus, ohio, a diabetic with deteriorating health living on a fixed income. she now struggles to pay her energy bills as a direct result of epa air regulations that have shut down electricity generation in her part of the country. to advance epa's extreme agenda, it's also clear that this epa extends its regulatory arm with complete disregard for american taxpayer dollars, and we have many examples of that. these examples of waste and abuse be make congressional oversight absolutely critical. that's why this hearing and follow-up work so enormously important to get at this concerning culture of which, unfortunately, john biel is just the poster child, not the full extent. thank you, madam chair. >> thanks, senator. i want to place in the record a counter to some of these things. an article in "the washington post" that says outside of gina mccarthy, there was

it's my expectation that's what is going to happen, because that is essentially the playbook that russia has been following in the former soviet union since the yeltsin era. a former soviet state moves a. from russia. the russians gin up unarrest among the ethnic population, and allows russia to send in troops under the pretext they're protecting their people, and then the troops say. and you have seen that in georgia z georgia and armenia, and they have created de facto russian protectorates to weaken governments trying to get away from them. >> does this pattern suggest where l he would move into -- whether he would move into the eastern ukraine or is the thinking this might be what he wants, just the warm-water port. >> that's my assumption. i thick if he could get away with it he would move into easternian -- eastern ukraine but that's a much bigger pill to swallow. >> his market went down 12% in one day. wondered if he wasn't going to continue this thing and move it into eastern ukraine and when he saw his markets drop and his oligarchs start breathing down his neck, i wonder. >> it

what is next in the playbook, possibly. >> you know, messing with gas supply is something he has doneefore. this is something that everyone would expect him to do under these circumstances, the use of economic leverage. i wouldn't be surprised to see him doing that. in some ways he leapfrogged the mackia very wellian strategy of using economic levers and gone straight to military action. once you have invaded a country, you are beyond stipulating supplies and economic measures to get your way. i would have thought vladimir putin, being a cool, calm character, would play a cautious wait and see attitude, and use the economic levers at its disposals to get its way. he's doing something that is unusual for him right now, which is acting in a way that we can characterise as impulsive and completely out of sync with international norms. it's unusual behaviour. >> i want to touch on that point. people feel like putin is calculating and shrewed that knows what he's doing. >> yes, indeed. >> are you saying otherwise? >> no, i say he normally is, if you are a calculating shrewed man who knows

we could look at the playbooks that putin has been following for the past 25 years.t russia on their oil and natural gas revenues. as a result of that, they have political power over western europe and eastern europe and they have a lot of revenues from oil sales. what could we do? we can do what we did in the 1980s, push down the price of oil. in this case by fracking, and we could use our abundance of natural gas resource that's we've had just in the last few years and start selling them to europe. what would that do for putin? if he can't have high oil prices and high gas price toes europe, he can't meet payroll. if oil goes below about, say, $100 a barrel, putin is in trouble .he's in trouble at home. i say that's what we should let him know that that's on the cards, that will be the price he has to pay. we can play the long game, too. but i don't think we can scramble or jets to send in the tank. >> do you think this administration is going to do that? do you think that would open limits on fracking and drilling and those kinds of things in a way that would make
