under those rules youou cannot adjust the deficit in future decades. what happens if they pass this bill, mitch mcconnell's dream comes true and then they still have to pass a spending bill. they can do whatever they want. democrats want more spending on domestic, on defense and everybody wants more spending for disaster relief, we couldyo have increase in december just after we pass a tax cut. the one thing to watch is there might be a vote on waiting pay go, these would be automatic spending cuts that require 60 votes to waive pay go. they will be interesting to see how the democrats vote, if they want to stand up for what they voted for, they drafted the law when they were in charge but they would probably not vote and find a way to cut the deficit. you've got richard, independence, goin ahead. >> caller: my question is, regarding the senate bill it requires an individual investo investor -- as an active trader i use it on a daily basis. i'm wondering if there's any movement inseon that. i've seen a little bit of activity, discussion on cnbc. they s

youou know, you perform nicely, so you're an "a." you don't perform, you're a "b." you really performed lousy, you're a "d." that's help to the employer. i don't want to help the employer. that's not what i signed up for. i'm not interested in this, and d ther'' even worse. this meritocracy fakery that we do in this society, that is a scandal and a cruel one. we don't have enough jobs in thihis country fr the people who are p perfectctly capable of filling them. we got a problem. way too many people withth good skills for the j jos we produce. n now the rational solution would be to find the jobs, to give them a chance to do what they want to do and they can do. we don't do that. we have no way of doing that. we're not driven by providing people with work. that's mondragon. we're driven by making money, so we don't want these people, but it's very dangerous. they want an education, and t they got one, o now they want the job, but we don't have the jobs. how do you solve this problem? as and bs and cs and harvards and the local community college because it allows us

and the only way those steps will l be taken things like youou know r registrief of companieses and beneficil ownersrs and. automomatic excxcnge a atts infoformation n between countries and there'e's a there a lots off steps that can beaken. but you're right that the only way t that's going to o ppen is if people start demandin. has anything changed since you helped break the story of the panama papers. well i mean there were immediate effects obviously. of the president of pakistan at to step down and drove t the prime minisistef iceland and. the spanishh or industry minister and and stuff like that but i also think that there's been a. there's been a. a in exoneration. of. of stuff that was already happening prior to the panama papers which is increasing compliance and due diligence requirements. andd. and thehe bard entry for ts kind of activity at least for p private individualslss gotten higher. o. and more expensive. so whehereas befe the merely ricic wouldld be ablele to accecess these kis of offshore trusts and companies and foundations. it's now herb m more the vey wealthy can do it.

as you said you know if youou look back at histoy does not always been france but here are no obvious different issues there is a very pragmatic accused of a strategy. network is used is you know is coming on are. the same side for syria and i think they also benefiting from the absence of real strategy from the west that's wide new no doubt. i think did they feel some strengths in you know the future as it was said that future negotiations for the. future of syria i don't i think didn't just sit. to gather that thou stronger and deceit as a really. strength for future negotiations now ergotaminee election last year. no i think the main issue as is the watch is a congress is going to do you know now the voters in the end of the contest i think that sixty days to lose. it's what. i think. you know trump could dive. yourself city was not such a thing to do diffract that's my and is it that is given to board the congress. is the fact that. this you know around the desk to some people not of people telling me no don't do that that if you die in of people in the u. s. say they don't intere

i mean, cohn has said this is trickle down, that youou give te money to the top of the financial permid me -- pyramid -- let me finish before you tear it apart -- that there is a bucket at the top of the financial pyramid of america and if we fill the bucket, eventually it would dribble down to the rest of america. this idea has been sold to american people at least three times in my adult lifetime. why can't he just sell it again? >> that's exactly what he's trying to do. fink you look at the shots of him right after he said it's trick town again, he said is anybody buying this? because we have the data, trickle down doesn't work. we help the rich get richer, the rich get richer. >> stephen: the theory is the rich tip people more. that is literally the theory. ( laughter ) >> here's the deal, we actually have recorded the c.e.o.s of these big corporations over the past few months have been doing their quarterly call reports where they talk to the analysts on wall street and say buy our stock because we're doing a great job and here's what's happening, and they have been asked about, so

let me go to a critical question that senator alexander and i raised, if confirmed, we youou commit to implementing it as intended and working with us to improve affordable, , accessibl, trepidations? >> absolutely. >> i know that some people today are climbing the bill we designed will fix of the problems that are being proposed. do you think the cost-sharing reduction payment will be sufficient to make p up for chas if other tax cut proposal to cut? >> the work of this committee on a bipartisan basis, frankly it's a wonderful model for dressing. it recognizes problems with the affordable care act, problems with its implementation. there are going to be some new authorities in the package that you're talking about. those will be useful, but i do want to caution, i don't believe it is a long-term solution to problems that are just inherent in the affordable care act that it think we still need to work to address in terms of getting to affordable interest for people choice of insurance. that insurance to live in real access to healthcare for people so not just a card but actual access t

there is a wonderful author who youou are interested in must read him. he wrote a book about the french and he also wrote a whole series of books about the jews in france. this book came out about 20 years ago. it was translated into french, 20 years ago. all of the sudden the french went well, we did all this? he had gotten into the archives what thed up all of french political system was like. how they collaborated with the germans and the french historians had not touch that. they could not get to it or did not want to get to it. nobody politically -- it was not the right thing to do. whole idea ofthe what it was like after he had been tried and put into a home until he died. the french did not want to hear about it. , to try and answer your question, he brings all of this up. later you 20 years are beginning to see books and magazine articles, a lot of discussion about the poor performance of france. it is totally, absolutely clear what he had in mind was to try and create a new order for europe. that new order would think offering with the germans.

if youou listen to all of us an look at the press and everything, we're all completely against each other and it's worse than ever before. a lotal of it, most of it has t dogh with russia. that's my question. >> first of all, take the second question. the only guy laughing in all of this is vladimir putin. he's laughing his head off. >> is it worse than ever before? >> i think it is. the russians succeeded. i think they had two purposes. one was to have an influence on the u.s. election and the other was possibly finding an ally, according to this latest t indictment, someone in the trump campaign. it's not clear the russians really succeeded reaching to trump himself or trump knew any ofhi this. we're still at a stage that hasn't materialized in terms of that allegation. i do want to say one thing. there is another country that has a history of intervening in foreign election, far greater than russia and far more successful. that would be o us. for the russians, they're not just laughing at us, pointing out a certain hypocrisy. we didn't just hack our allies, we hacked amerimerkle. there

if youou remember the second presidential dental debate in october after the hollywood tapes had seemingly devastated donald trump's campaign to then-candidate trump,n beleaguered candidate trump stacked the room with the accusers of bill clinton, absolutely destroying bill clinton's credibility and, by extension, his wife, the candidate. >> sean: if you have said on this program -- >> they have paid dearly. >> sean: excuse me, i disagree. if roy moore is unfit because of forty-year allegations, more coming tonight, as the left have been telling us, isn't that the same left in the country that still voted for her a year ago? how did they pay? she came close, in a sense, she really got killed in the election. >> your main point is a valid one, and a painful one for those of us who defended president clinton at the time, and who, let's face it, why did we defend him? other than the fact that it was like the cold war between the democrats and the republicans, you also had a situation where you had to fight against people we oppose. and we had an arrogance aboutpl us, and elitism about us. the

is that a con tig youous or is that 12 acres here and 10 over there? do you know what that 2000 acres means? >> i'll have to defer that question. i can't respond to that. >> it was presented to me as the size of dallas airport. i think what it means is it's scattered all over the place and if you add it all together it's 2,000 acres. second, do you know how many wells are contemplated in this development? >> again, i think it depends on what's passed by the body of this congress. >> it seems to me we have to do calculations. it is always dangerous to turn me loose with a calculator, we are talking several thousand wells to produce 10 billion barrels over 10 years. again, i think it's an important question to assess the impact. are we talking 10 wells, 100 wells or a thousand wells? any idea how this is going to get out from all of these wells? how does it get any where? >> well, again, i suspect that the most likely method of moving that would be via pipelines. that's how most of that oil is moved now. >> we are not only talking about these 12 acre pad

youou are a markets person, say we need someone who understands what's going on in markets., you say we need an economist in that position. what concerns me more than that is the fact that if you run down the background of the people now on board, first of all it is unlikely janet yellen will stay, so we end up with one economist on the board of governors at this point in time, and what that does is increases the power of the staff, because they are the ones running in these models who understand the intricacies and the nuances of what is behind those models, and if you are not an economist and trained recently, you will be at a big disadvantage when it comes to knowing what questions to ask those people. it is true and that jerome powell has been around and hurt their questions and so on and so it will not be the same kind of situation. then what does that do to the relative decisions of the s?deral reserve bank president s , andof whom are economists now they can help promote the board because there were only be three members in a short time, even with four. so that to me

conservatives say the title of the book is ridiculous are youou kidding? we won thear election that we have supreme court justices who will get this tax cut bill and how to look weary are going to you almost get the sense they realize they cannot fully control those forces they have unleashed nourishing the alligator in bathtub it is still angry it to be the last ones eat-in to borrow a phrase from churchill but you do see this with a tribalism and evangelical christians and the notion of how old i am they thought that character mattered but i will wrap up to say. we are more polarized than ever. with the then diagram there is not a lot of overlap but that sliver is important. that is decency and truth truth, constitutional limits, rule of law, all of those things i think are absolutely crucial and that is the dialogue that we urgently have to have if we're willing to break out of their own bubble's.

if youou have a term limited senator for six years in the senate, what will their incentive be if theyknow they will be out of power in a few years? to suckto up as much as possible to corporate lobbyists. they have the ability to fund them for the rest of their life. actually, campaign reform and ethics reform should be married back and forth. we need to sever that tie so that people,in warmer in these buildings are activelyy working foror the people, not worrying about corporate cash for the next election and not worrying about corporate cash for the d next job. >> from delaware, albert, goo ahead. >> caller: adam, thank you soo much for all you do and all. your organization does. could you touch a little bit on the 50 or 60 red seats that hillary gotth across the country. have you pulled them out and how far have you come onou technology against republicans? i appreciate it. >> host: these are some very relevant questions. >> guest: there's about 23 seats that are currently represented by republicans in congress thatot hillary one. katie porter is one of ouren first endorsements in

can youou talk about what other parts of the university, maybe the board of regents or other entities in the university that deserves more scrutiny? >> it is a good point to make. a lot of attention at deservedly so was on the football team and athletic department, there was such a bigger problem that it went -- a lot of who was handling this itit was handled y the affairs and the upper administration and they found -- and the police department, the baylor police department found a lot of victim blaming, and we were told there was an interview with the former police chief where a woman that had reported the rape was told don't you think you shouldn't have been out that late, just sort of comments about implying that you put yourself in this situation. there were a number of women that recounted similar conversations especially when it came to alcohol violation. one aspect is a huge component in fact it's the world's largest baptist university and drinking, you're supposed to be over 21, it's not allowed. there were a lot of women who said they would come to the judicial affairs to rep

. >> and i would -- -- and, youou just know, you are the chairman and can talk as long as you like. you are the chairman. you just argued what we have been arguing. and i say there's another side. and the other side is, this is where the porcupine caribou calve. we had testimony from a veteran -- you was aber of veteran in iraq. he said this is their food source. you first said that they don't calve there. they do calve there. then you said that at prudhoe, the caribou herd has increased. well, then we've heard it hasn't increased. this is a very -- this is a very contentious issue. and since there's another million acres that are already leased, oil companies don't lease land, i don't think they do. it doesn't make any sense to me. i don't know the oil business. but why would you lease anything if you didn't think there was oil? doesn't make any business sense. >> madam chair, i have a question. >> yes. go ahead. but before you do i just wanted to briefly reply to a comment there because you mentioned the testimony of a mr. alexander who was before us who clearly is not supportive

youou look at bombs and all see are picture of the top of the bomb they are testing and looking at aicture tells you a lot of things, you have to explode it and compress it. pictures, you t can understand a whole lot about material. charles, we're running out of time, give barry blechman a chance to respond. constructing a would uclear weapon that explode is a complicated thing have a you have to device which creates critical mass of the radioactive material. the simpler thing, take adioactive material, add to conventional explosive like c4 and spread radiation, but that dangerous weapon, it could kill a few hundred people, depending where it was but not nearly as dangerous as nuclear weapon itself. host: barry blechman is co-founder, distinguished fellow at the stimson center, at stimson.org, follow them on twitter at stimson center, do come back. much.: thank you very host: we'll end today with open phones. any public policy issue that you phones talk about, the are open. democrats, 202-748-8000. 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002. calling in now and we'll be right back. on c

>> so as chairman of this know -- youou , not byy on every bill giving it to us in advance for letting us look at it but in the amendment process. >> that is nonsense. on the aca bill -- >> i believe the time is mr. levens, mr. chairman. xp is a process is very different. he didn't like the bill. we didn't throw these things that you. we had hearings. we had meetings. we considered this seriously. he didn't like what we were going to do but we didn't just throw things that you at the very end. you had ideas of what was -- nonsense -- you had ideas of what was on the bill all along. 90 just throw this at us and you -- now youroduce just throw these at us and you need to introduce these so we questions. barr hold you make a mockery of this committee. why are you doing this? why are you doing this? you don't even talk to mr. neil as a ranking member and give this to him a day in advance? what are you afraid of? -- i haven'tmined finished. >> gentleman controls the time. >> are determined to pass -- you are determined to pass a bill because you haven't done anything all this year. your des
