Support for just an overhaul of the tax code and tax reform and in that way exactly as gloria and dana pointed out you get away from the debate of extending the bush era tax cuts, and the point of quote, unquote bush era cuts, and there are budget hawks who study them for a living and they call them bush-obama tax cuts and they say it is difficult to raise taxes, and the president is laying it down. he said he is going to raise taxes on the rich indeed, but just, just raising taxes on the ritual...

Worked together to cut $78 billion from spending in the current year. so i think our track record of finding a way to work together is actually better than people give it credit for. this is a much bigger challenge. i think if we look to the next several months, we do have to be realistic. im not sure anyone imagines that all of the specific pieces of legislation would be agreed to in the time frame weve discussed. i think one could have an agreement on an approach. and some initial pieces of it...

Led to 50 films over a 50-year directing career. 1964s "fail-safe," raised the chilling idea of how a failure could lead to annihilation. and then a look at the tv news business won him a golden globe and gave americans a new phrase. "im as mad as hell and not going to take this anymore." they were not all hits. the adaption of the wh tioadapt. he was awarded an honorary oscar in 2005.

They are flawed in a way that -- such a way that the very accidents theyre supposed to stop from becoming disasters, those very same accidents can render them inoperable, can just take them out so they cant do their jobs. we knew that things could go wrong with blowout preventers. what we did not know is that if things didnt go wrong with them they still might not work. that by design some blowouts will just still happen, will just render the blowout preventers pointless. in other words, there i...

And that is scary because it turns out that these blowout preventers are flawed. they are flawed in a way that -- such a way that the very accidents theyre supposed to stop from becoming disasters, those very same accidents can render them inoperable, can just take them out so they cant do their jobs. we knew that things could go wrong with blowout preventers. what we did not know is that if things didnt go wrong with them they still might not work. that by design some blowouts will just still h...

In addition we ought to look at what really happened to that blow-out preventer that bp was using or trans ocean was using, because that also should be fail-safe. relief wells are an idea but youre adding tremendous cost for virtually no gain. im not aware of anywhere in the world that is mandatory. and so before we would get into that in the u.s., i think we have to look at it in its totality. whats the risk reward relationship between doing something that significant. >> john, i appreciate you...

Administration that we asked for more resources, we got them. we werent really being denied resources. there were a few programs that needed money and the cia operations was probably one of them. but resources was not the problem. it was getting attention of senior leadership and getting them to decide things and authorize things. which they were reluctant to do. >> that brings us to the question of redundancy because obviously, there needs to be some level of redundancy in this process. but red...

We put out probably 4.5 to 5 million barrels out of the reservoir. as we were talking about earlier, it takes more wells than just one to drain the entire reservoir. you get a big pressure drop around the well board. it wont drain as well. there is depletion going. >> bob, this idea about the sort of fail safe on this being okay, were not going to be able to keep this thing capped, but we are with that new stack cap going to be able to withdraw 80,000 barrels of oil a day, thats the high end any...
