and if i could pick two people, it would be elizabeth warren and tim kaine.i could put those two people together, that would be a winning ticket and bring this country back to where it needs to be. and all these other people millionaires running for politics they would just hold hands and run to a bridge and start jumping off. if elizabeth warren and tim kaine was to get in this race, i think that would be the best thing we could do to this country because they both have more or less and a heart. host: all right. caller: that's what we need in this country. thank you. host: next up is teresa from virginia on the republican line. teresa go ahead. caller: yes. my question is this is with the clintons and hillary clinton. where is the ethics committee? they have been involved in so much scandal and still involved in scandal and how can she even run for president with all the scandal that's been very young her? did -- surrounding her? did we not have an ethics committee in this country? is it so lost now that anybody can run, no matter what their moral values? it

and that's why i've joined with three of my colleagues fellow democrat tim kaine of virginia, republicans lindsey graham of south carolina and john mccain of arizona. we've written to president obama urging him to call together world leaders and to establish a humanitarian zone, a safe zone, a no-fly zone in syria where modern medical treatment can be provided and displaced persons can escape. we think it should be done under the auspices, i do, of the united nations and that the united states can join other countries in providing a defensive security force. we need to turn to our nato allies like turkey. we need to reach out to saudi arabia, even iran and try to find an international consensus to spare the suffering and death which is occurring now for years in syria. we don't know the exact number of casualties. we estimate that some 400,000 may have died in syria. millions have been displaced. this is a picture of just one of the refugee camps where the people of syria have fled. i've visited camps like this in turkey. they're in lebanon and jordan. and they just can't accommodate all
