it was in 1963 that i went to washington and met president kennedy. i remember thinking what an incredible country this was. someone like me who had no money would be given the opportunity to be president. -- to meet the president. i decided i could really do public service. i worked my way through law school. part-time jobs. anything i could find. after i graduated, i did not really care about making money. i just wanted to go home and see if i could make a difference. we worked hard on education and health care to create jobs and we made real progress. it is exhilarating to me to think as president, i could help to change all of our people's lives for the better and bring hope back to the american dream. mr. mckinnon: first impressions are important. these were introductions. i want to tell a quick story about when we introduced president bush at the convention. we interviewed mrs. bush and president bush and there was an exchange about the delivery room and when your daughters were born and you completely scrambled it up. we all laughed and we resh

washington is very divided these days. fines and the old days my have been result with some compromise , but they have become battles to the death. you obamacare has been pretty -- i thinkl obamacare has been pretty successful in bending the cost curve, making health-care expenses slow. but it was never going to be a solution to every problem. because republicans and democrats in washington have to use every battle to fund raise than two look forward to the next election, the singular presented in apocalyptic terms. where peopleuation are either disappointed that it did not turn out to be this great savior, or they look at obamacare is the cause of everything that is wrong. i think both are exaggerations. host: democrat line, good morning. c-span andnk you for for the commentary. the bookenjoy festivals and the many kinds of tomentary that comes forward elevate and thomas. this gentleman is a very reasoned and seasoned journalist. i think him for his service in that role. relates tot as it this dichotomy that is happening

we have a mess in washington. people are angry at washington. i understand that. but, you know, what do you want to do with that anger? you want to create something better? or do you want to just blow it up? i know a lot of people say just blow it up. what do you do the next day? blow it up again? blow it up again? what are you going to do? what are you going to accomplish? how would you change this for a better place? don't you want someone who is a track record who can actually do that? who understand the problems being confronted, ideas on how to solve them? the conservatives in this country, republicans in this country would like to see done. but what we have, at least if you believe the national polls, which i do not, is that we have the more experience, the lower you do in the polls. i would just ask the people of iowa to take a step back. i know they are. a lot of folks are making decisions this week. there may be re-deciding, looking at the situation. i use the example when i was up in ames yesterday, and i will try it here, you know, iowa state as a great

hillary because i believe that anyone can break of the gridlock -- if anyone can break the gridlock in washington, she can. want towait, because i get things done on immigration, climate change, college affordability, and so much more. i am with hillary because she stands up for the people whose votes too often get drowned out. immigrants,ities, and so many others. i am with hillary because i have seen how passionate she is about fighting for change. i have seen how tough she is. she can be, standing up for what is right. i have seen how committed she is, not just to the progressive values that we share, but to the democratic party that i am so proud to be a part of.

a lot of the republican members leave they have been sent to washington to obstruct. they might use a different word, but they believe that is what the voters in their district want and there are large pockets of voters around the country who do want to approach the president on anything he does -- democrats will try to make this message.n they are going to talk about republican obstructionism, the senate, not giving merrick garland a fair hearing, the hearing and the vote he deserves. but democrats will focus on republican obstructionism and try to use that against the incumbents. guest: i will respond -- i want to point out that the republicans could be criticized over the last two years. just want to stop everything that president obama wants to do. nathan is right. say, yeah,can voters that's why we sent them there. but there is also a growing movement on the democratic side like that. the whole bernie sanders message is we have compromised too much and have not been progressing far enough, fast enough. so the kind of bernie sanders that comes to washington seeks

we ought to shift all of this out of washington, d.c.

we are live here from washington d.c. this week, the new york observer made headlines after endorsing donald trump for president. the reason it's notable is because the newspaper is owned by donald trump's son-in-law. donald trump is the father-in-law of the observer publisher. that is not a reason to endorse him. giving millions of disillusioned americans an opportunity is a reason. a day after the endorsement was published one of the top reporters announced he was resigning. ross, you were the national political reporter there and leaving in two weeks. why did you decide to resign from the observer? >> well, brian, it was a confluence of factors. one factor was the endorsement. i expected our newspaper given our deep pride that we would perhaps remain neutral. i was blind sided by the endorsement. maybe a bigger issue was the fact it was reported that our editor in chief had a roll advising donald trump before he tlifred a speech from the conference last month. >> right. he was looking at the draft of the speech and sai

smith goes to washington. i had not seen it in about 30 years and had not seen it as a remember of congress. it is the scene where he is trying to write legislation about creating a boys camp. he has all the idealism in the world and that is the point. comes up against someone who has been there and starts walking you have anof it so idea. are you going to the committee and the chairman will do this and then you have to go to congress. he goes through all the inefficiencies. if the assistant had said, you do not have time to write that legislation. spent 30 hours a week across the street asking people for money. in that what happens scene, he introduced legislation appealing to legislation. he started getting envelopes from boys with pennies and nickels and dies because it showed good policies are what the american people want. it gets members reelected if you are doing right. i'm glad you mentioned the movie. my favorite part is when they are at the national press club. before i ask the last question, he does

growing the economy -- america's economy instead of washington's? steve: i would ask you one the question each. one of the things i have been hearing more and more is that because of bernie sanders the challenge, the things that come up, the terrain in the country seems to have changed. a lot of people think they know hillary clinton. can hillary be hillary if she wins? will she be able to maintain the level of international engagement? what has happened with bernie sanders challenge and whatnot changed that? i'm interested if hillary can be hillary. hilary: for 15 or 20 years she was one of the top two or three most admired women in the world. it was only when she actually sought political power for herself that all of a sudden no, no, go away. we don't like you anymore.

we need that in washington, d.c. we need a balanced amendment in washington. i know how to do this because i did it as governor in florida. the reason we had reserves that were high was i had line item veto power, and i used it. 2500 separate times. enoe.called me veto corl corleone. legislators put line items in thembudget, and we called turkeys for some reason in florida. i would take that out of the budget and there was a sigh of i tried touse i said get it done, but the governor was the guy that did not let it happen. i would love to take that responsibility in washington. the next president should have power, to bring order and discipline to the budget. we did something no other state did, and now a few have done it. we eliminated lifetime employment protections for government is. but to makenitive, the point that government is the servant, not the master, of people. how can you be a servant if you have lifetime protections the matter what you do? we change that in florida. the government run is reduced by 13,000 workers. no one came close to that. we did

the guys in washington care about that. it varies not just from country to country, but state to state and even from melissa pahlavi -- they cannot do a lot about where they're located. these regulations could impact the man in a negative way. they can impact the way to execute projects. that try lot of people to mold those legislations to limit the potential to refiners. sometimes they are successful and sometimes they are not. also, making wise investment decisions to make compliance more cost-effective. demand and wet have seen a little bit of that from howard. obviously, the developing countries is where all the demand has been in the last 10 years. increased by the last 9.9% in that impacted the global recession in 20 -- 2009. almost 14 million barrels a day increased in the emerging economies. the developed economies lost 4.5 million barrels a day. 1.4 million barrels of that is the u.s.'s share. we have seen a bit of a change in the current low-price environment. the response to low prices. of the product demand grow
