better and it is because of immigrants. 10% of the -- 40% of the people that live in new york city were born outside of the united states. >> chris: what do you say to those people that are saying he is saying the people who broke the law are going to benefit? >> no, number one it is us that are going to benefit. you and me and the rest this country. slamming our thumb with a hammer because it feels good when we stop is a nice thing to talk about but it is not good policy. these people are here, yes, they broke the law nobody should say they shouldn't, figure out a way to pay a penalty and do what we need to have them do to become productive citizens and get on with it. we can sit here ten years from now, when the economy will be a lot worse if we don't do something and say yes, we saw the same problem. you are not going to solve the problem by yelling and screaming at those people. they came here, they broke the law and let me tell you this country encouraged them to come here and made sure that we didn't stop them. this were industries that wanted them. groups of relatives who wanted
i do think that is what senator mccain is trying to say. a little more aggressiveness on the part of the obama administration and we could win this. >> chris: juan? >> vice president biden said it was ridiculous to say only the united states has the military assets necessary to launch a strong military campaign and that if the french and british who have been pressing the united states to do more want more done they are fully capable of doing it. and the second thing is h henry kissinger came to down this week to see secretary of state clinton and he said he thought the policy was on target and just required additional patience because what you see with qaddafi is that his assets are frozen so he is not getting any more money and ammunition. and he has been unable to defend misurata. there is a sense that there is some progress. but unless you want to put boots on the ground, unless you are in for mission creep, you know what, we have got what we have. >> chris: i want to switch to another hot spot in that region
and that is syria, brit. the demonstrations in syria, the antigovernment demonstrations getting bigger and bigger. you can see them there, tens of thousands of people in cities ray cross the country. also getting bigger the violent reaction of the government. protesters killed. president obama issued a tough statement this week but hasn't recalled the u.s. ambassador or pushed for international sanctions. should he? >> yeah, i mean i -- when you see here is this groping toward finding some policy, the overthrow of the asaad government, the asaad mafia would be a welcome thing in syria. syria has been all kinds of trouble throughout that region for a very long time. if there is one place you look at and say strategically where do we have a chance of doing something serious that would be the chase and we haven't done anything in syria. i don't know whether the cia or
that the seniors going to end up paying more out of pocket out of their own personal pocket for healthcare. so the point is so you are saying let's not wait ten years let's start doing it now. >> it is over time and it is a very small amount over time but that small amount compounded over the years means a lot and so for seniors today what we are talking about is a fairly small amount. a pretty insubstantial amount for seniors today and here is the difference. seniors will be able to go out and get the policy that they want. not one that the folks here in washington designed for them but in fact a policy that very well may meet their needs better than what we have today. the second thing i would say is that this policy of what paul ryan put together the premium support model is identical to what the president argues for in obama care. obama care is a voucher system for those who do not have insurance. it sets the amount of money that those recipients get and it ties the increase to the consumer price index. all of which is what ryan does.
stock market which he did a barbecuing bash little bit. >> and lowered interest rates. >> and kept interest rates at 0%. growth is slowing down anyway. it has been a total failure. i think the key for republicans in my view is to run comprehensively against the obama geithner policy and say the whole model has failed. this is the perfect testament. >> that is the bumper sticker. >> yes. and i think a populist republican running against the entire establishment understanding that more government spending and unbelievably cheap money debasing the dollar that that is the way to make america strong is the wrong model and i think republicans need to articulate an alternative model. >> as regan did. >> are you working for donald trump, is that what you are telling me? >> why is donald trump catching
finding some policy, the overthrow of the asaad government, the asaad mafia would be a welcome thing in syria. syria has been all kinds of trouble throughout that region for a very long time. if there is one place you look at and say strategically where do we have a chance of doing something serious that would be the chase and we haven't done anything in syria. i don't know whether the cia or in some other way we may be offering aide and comfort to the rebels but i hope we are and i don't understand why the president can't muster anything than you say strong statement. i don't think there is anything strong about the statement he made. it is just a piece of paper. it doesn't really accomplish anything. >> chris: it is a statement. but i agree. he hasn't taken any action. let me ask you about that. why do you think the obama administration has been so reluctant to confront asaad. you had hillary clinton talking
>> the two biggest speculators who devastated were barack obama who speculated on a huge stimulus package which has created a huge physical problem for us and ben bernanke who did a second quantitative easing and trying to stimulate the stock market which he did a barbecuing bash little bit. >> and lowered interest rates. >> and kept interest rates at 0%. growth is slowing down anyway. it has been a total failure. i think the key for republicans in my view is to run comprehensively against the obama geithner policy and say the whole model has failed. this is the perfect testament. >> that is the bumper sticker. >> yes. and i think a populist republican running against the
premium support that over time that the seniors going to end up paying more out of pocket out of their own personal pocket for healthcare. so the point is so you are saying let's not wait ten years let's start doing it now. >> it is over time and it is a very small amount over time but that small amount compounded over the years means a lot and so for seniors today what we are talking about is a fairly small amount. a pretty insubstantial amount for seniors today and here is the difference. seniors will be able to go out and get the policy that they want. not one that the folks here in washington designed for them but in fact a policy that very well may meet their needs better than what we have today. the second thing i would say is that this policy of what paul ryan put together the premium support model is identical to what the president argues for in obama care. obama care is a voucher system for those who do not have insurance. it sets the amount of money that those recipients get and it ties the increase to the consumer price index. all of which is what ryan does.
our economy is actually doing better and it is because of immigrants. 10% of the -- 40% of the people that live in new york city were born outside of the united states. >> chris: what do you say to those people that are saying he is saying the people who broke the law are going to benefit? >> no, number one it is us that are going to benefit. you and me and the rest this country. slamming our thumb with a hammer because it feels good when we stop is a nice thing to talk about but it is not good policy. these people are here, yes, they broke the law nobody should say they shouldn't, figure out a way to pay a penalty and do what we need to have them do to become productive citizens and get on with it. we can sit here ten years from now, when the economy will be a lot worse if we don't do something and say yes, we saw the same problem. you are not going to solve the problem by yelling and screaming at those people. they came here, they broke the law and let me tell you this country encouraged them to come here and made sure that we didn't stop them. this were industries that
those. it is ridiculous. if you talk off the record from the people in the administration they are terrified of having some american pilot shot down and taken hostage. you can't get involved in military action like this that would be totally driven by the fear of one american pilot getting shot down it is just wrong in my opinion. i think he could be gone. i do think that is what senator mccain is trying to say. a little more aggressiveness on the part of the obama administration and we could win this. >> chris: juan? >> vice president biden said it was ridiculous to say only the united states has the military assets necessary to launch a strong military campaign and that if the french and british who have been pressing the united states to do more want more done they are fully capable of doing it. and the second thing is h henry kissinger came to down this week to see secretary of state clinton and he said he thought the policy was on target and
