This done. >>chris: in the interest of being fair and balanced the conditioning man said the democrats were untelling to come up with serious damages to entitlements, is that why this has failed? >>guest: i dont think thats the reason. i dont think there is failure yet. i believe the elements of a tell probably not as big as some of us would like, are still there. >>chris: assuming there is failure, why do you think this occurs? >>guest: unless you discount the hours and days we still have left,...

True, senator, when he urges going slow on entitlements and your party, by and large, just going slow on entitlements is he moving the ball forward by locking people interest that kind of a corner? >>guest: i was not in the room for the tough negotiations of the vice president a turned into negotiations between the speaker boehner and the president and, today, we expect the super committee and both houses moving forward with the conversations. we know where we have been freezing for the last yea...

said in a broadcast interview and congress is being urged to have new laws sandusky, in a shocking interview with bob costas, the former coach admitted he, quote, horsed around with boys in the shower at universitys complex. sandusky insists hes innocence of the 40 sex crimes detailed in indictment against him. >> how would you define the part you played? what are you willing to concede that youve done that was wrong and you wish you had not done it? >> well, in retrospect i, you know,...

But the actual libertarian position, the libertarian party position is to leave that choice to the woman. >> im curious as to where all of these small government libertarians were during the eight years of george bush and the mostly controlled over those eight years republican house and senate. i mean, were those people really upset? >> well, you know, lets put credit where credit is due. i mean, i support repealing president obamas health care plan, because very simply, we cant afford it. all r...

About making saves in medicaid. medicaid is our biggest entitlement program for states by far. earlier this year republican governors published a report of 31 solutions that would improve the quality of medicaid while saving money. we brought that back to the attention of the super committee and said we know the country has to save and spend less and we are willing to do our part. here are some ideas. count on us to help save but police dont shift costs from the federal government over to the st...

Number of programs instead of several dozen programs. and, of course, the example we tried to set with medicaid is if we can save money on our biggest entitlement program, the federal government ought to be able to make spending not go up as fast and therefore have savings on the big federal entitlement programs like social security and medicare. and senator baucus again has apparently proposed some savings in medicare, and we applaud him for that. the last thing we told him was dont raise tax r...

At it differently. we will spend ink and videotape trying to figure out where they are going and every day is a new story but it comes down to taxes. republicans are never ever going to vote for a tax increase. the only way you get a deal done is if they find another way to score revenue. democrats sign on. otherwise its sequestration. because republicans will not commit political suicide given political and economic theyre in. >> sec question tration is automatic -- sequest tration is the autom...
