people look to washington and washington is living in a very different world. on top of all of that is the issue of fairness, the issue of a rigged economy, which essentially means people are working ordinary hours -- working hours for low wages. and there is the issue of wealth and power, which dictates what goes on in america. we have town meetings. the general feeling is there should be more equality. when they look at wall street what they see is a rigged economy. they see a corrupt campaign finance system. all wrapped up in wall street. what i can tell you from personal experience -- the banking committee, which became the financial committee. i was on the committee that dealt with the regulation of wall street. here is the reality that will not shock any american. wall street put billions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions into saying you have to get rid of these 1930's regulations. you have to allow commercial banks to merge with investor banks, to merge with large insurance companies. i didn't believe it for one second, not for one second

we have people in washington that don't care right now. their argument is i don't want to deal with the issue hank just raised because i might lose my next election so we will figure it out but just not now. it has been happening for way too long. one of the reasons it's happening is because the federal government has nothing to stop it from spending money. they can keep printing money and borrowing money, but not forever. the have been doing that for a long time under both parties. under this president, he has grown the debt more than every other president before him combined. the other thing that is driving it is that in less than five years, 83% of our budget 83% of the federal budget will be made up of four things. medicare, medicaid, social security, and the interest on the debt. that means with the other 17% we're going to have to fund our roads, and our safety net programs, and the u.s. military, and everything else the government does. that's not sustainable. that's a debt crisis. let me tell you what's going to happen. the people

he went to washington being a supporter of term limits in washington. he became a firm supporter of term limits not only for members of congress but also for justices on the supreme court. it is good to have a healthy turnover and new talent coming forward. part of the solution here lies in us, the voters. there is a tendency for us not to look past pandering. we have candidates at say i'm against the lyrical correctness -- political correctness and think the alternative they want to show people's insult and obscenity's rather than saying politically correction allows even republican -- or compels even republican candidates to say that they want young women to be drafted into the military. we saw that during the debate on saturday. that was nothing more than political correction rather than thoughtful analysis of a change that would be bad for america. we have to be a lot more sophisticated. we can't have a bernie sanders that says things are bad so therefore i will to take from others and give to you. we have to ask ourselves, what caused this. what in

well, washington, d.c., may start doing just that. after murders in the nation's capital went up 54% last year, the city council recently voted for a crime bill that includes a provision to give money to those who are most likely to commit acts of violence. >> all those in favor of the amendment in the nature of a substitute, say aye. >> 200 people per year could receive payments in conjunction with mentorship and therapy. criticism of the proposal has been witherring, as you might imagine, and the bill is not certain to go through, but here is a really crazy part. another city has run a similar program for several years paying out tens of thousands of dollars, and it appears to be working. in 2007 the bay area city of richmond, california, was the ninth most dangerous city in the united states. things were so bad, the city officials thought about asking the national guard to be sent in. instead, they created the office of neighborhood safety, a new department, separate from law enforcement, that would focus on reaching out to the com

i am reluctant to send the money to washington to have it sent back to me. sometimes we get too many strings attached to it as opposed to keeping the money at home and doing what we need to do at a local level. governor mcauliffe: let me mention sequestration. this was a piece of legislation that was so onerous that it would never pass. and ithat -- it passed has created such problems at the state level. recipient number of of military funds, and indecision that went around that and congress' inability to figure out what they would do has been crippling to the northern virginia economy. the congress has pushed it off for two years, but you know the percent of debt to gdp in two years, we will be back in the situation. we have to begin to think long term. we need leadership decisions to grow the country. >> hopefully, governor, you will find this a timely question. our second governor, thomas jefferson, and now terry mcauliffe. how could you honestly ever -- and i have two years ago. i am just warming up. we got our economy back. have two qualified united sta

can a businessman deal with washington politics? >> i think there is a lot of anxiety around certain pieces of his background particularly in foreign policy. his praise for vladmir putin, for instance, has raised some eye brows around capitol hill. senator claire mccaskell said she thought there would be giggled around the globe if he were dealing with foreign leaders. so that i think is an area of real concern that he doesn't have experience in. and some of his stancings are pretty controversial. for instance, he said he would build a wall along the southern border with mex coand deport all the illegal immigrants. that doesn't bode well for trying to reach some compromise on the overhaul of the system and lawmakers have said they don't think anything would happen on that if trump were elected president. >> and what former mexican president fox saying no way mexico would pay for the wall. >> i think the payment of that could become contentious among other things. it seems hard to imagine that congress would appropriate funding for t

that is the kind of leadership we now need in washington, d.c. i don't know about you, but i am tired of politicians that blame their predecessors. i have a personal feeling about this, just having watched it for a while. my pledge to you -- when i am president of the united states, i will not blame barack obama for a civil thing. the day i am's into office, it is on my watch. whatever it is.

i talked to the washington post, done various interviews. but i can say all day that muslims unequivocally condemn terrorism, and somebody that is not muslim, i have very little legitimacy, apart from the data. it's important, but not as compelling as the genuine emotional fear and anger that i've seen from talking to mainstream muslim leaders. who i think are understandably concerned that there is a media motif of an angry muslim. you go on fox news and become angry, you only serve to further the stereotype among angry muslims. but there is anger that is anger about attacks on your religion. then there is anger, that is equally genuine, that is towards group like isis or dyess. -- or daesh. there has been a lot of understandable hesitation about whether that's a good idea. i think given what i've shown you today, the opportunity, the time has come for that type of corrective discourse. the majority of americans now have this conspiracy theory in their heads. you can simply throw facts at the problem. some recent research coming out of polit

as the "washington post" matt o'brien writes, the only question is whether venezuela's government or economy will completely collapse first. there are other oil states not quite as challenged as these, but most of them with problems, the answer, economists say is, to embrace structural reforms, wean economies away from natural resources and invest in other industries in human capital. that's hard to do at any time, but especially hard when your country is in free fall. in any event, oil-producing nations have government that's desperately need cash simply to pay salaries and meet basic obligations. that means they will pump out as much oil as they can which further adds to supply and keeps prices low. welcome to the new world of cheap oil and perilous politics. for more, go to cnn.com/freed, and read my "washington post" column this week, and let's get started. ♪ >>> what to make of iowa and what to make of who will win tuesday in new hampshire. what does it all mean? let's get right to presidential politics with a terrific panel. david frum has gotten a lot of attention for a rece
