frank off the cliff so you know he is conservative enough for the tea party movement he's going to be supported by the tea party movement and you know. what it comes what is going to come down to next year any time you have an incumbent running for reelection and steve and bill i'm sure are going to agree with me on this point one of the few points they probably will but they'll agree with me on this the election is always a referendum on the incumbent right now the economy sucks and there's just no two ways about it i'm calling it the great obama depression because we have what fourteen fifteen million people out of work all do really has to do i don't care what obama throws up there all the has to do is recycle ronald reagan are you better off or you're are you better off now than you were four years ago the great majority of americans are going to ground zero not only nobody held know and they're going to vote for they're going to at the end of the day decide we don't want to obama we don't like his policies he's wrecked the country and we may or may not trust new game works but he

frank said it would be it is a press conference where he departed from congress he said i never thought i lived a good enough life to see the republicans nominate newt gingrich for president he has more baggage than united airlines ok. if i go to. you know i want to expand i jump in real quick i want to take it. the i want to spend on what bill just said i mean you can see it in the debate you can see why people don't like him there's sort of this milling arrogance to newt gingrich you know even the snark that he did with mitt romney saying you know the only reason that you were in private life was because you lost to ted kennedy that's not a policy discussion that's just a nasty remark to make that soon newt gingrich is that's why people don't like him there's this arrogant entitled ness to him that no matter how hard he tries he can't he can't hide it ok gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion i do get rich state r.t. . if you want to. hear in bygone days sleds were fighting to get around. but today they're more leisure tha

. >> barney frank has taken a hike. >> that is worth talking about. you see in this congress michele bachmann and michele bachmann one of these -- wannabe's. there are fights about redistricting. >> use of the one strength the president obama, his rhetorical skill, is not sufficient. >> it has not been used at the scale necessary in this time of crisis. america is in a crossroads. this is a moment comparable to coming out of the great depression. this was a moment coming out of the financial crisis when tectonic shifts are under way in this country. hope is not a policy. policy is a wonky word. hope needs a story, a narrative. here is what is going on in this country. president obama now is speaking more forcefully about what he wants to do it and against smoking out those who are obstructing. this is really wonky. anyway, i think one of the most exciting things

yeah, i'll believe that when barney frank stops wearing a bra. that's when i'll believe-- ( applause ) barney, barney, barney. now, that was-- i think that was earlier in the week on c-span, and we have some more footage that's even-- even more questionable. here's barney today on c-span. the poor guy, i mean-- ( laughter ) >> paul: hey, everybody. >> dave: yeah buddy, buddy, buddy. we have new holiday toys. we'll be right back with the top 10, everybody. thank you. ,,,,,,,,,,,, ♪ ♪ ( applause ) >> dave: thank you very much. paul, pablo. schaeffer. the cbs orchestra, america's mighty, mighty party and show band. merry christmas. happy hanukkah, and welcome to everyone. i don't know if you're aware of this, but last week, we started tweeting. it's a real breakthrough for us because heretofore, we regarded tweeting as black magic. we thought it was-- we thought it was bad mojo. >> paul: yeah, yeah,. >> dave: but i've learned to experience it is to love it. so at fish we reached out to jimmy fallon, who is the young prince of the late night talk

remember, barney frank and ron paul did a bipartisan commission on military spending in 2010. they found this -- that one trillion dollars in pentagon waste could be saved over a 10- year time. we're now talking about 100 billion that could be cut every year. that is real money. this summer the congressional progressive caucus did an anti- austerity budget, and they came up with 2.3 trillion savings in military spending. that would be an incredible -- coupled with taxing the wealthy and corporations, that would be a real important step forward for our people. we hope you will. representative nancy pelosi does talk about saving entitlement programs, but it is very contradictory, because she has voted for every single war spending measure. it would be great if you could speak to her when you have time. thank you very much. supervisor avalos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is lori readerman. every year the board of supervisors struggles with the budget. we argue over the relative to imports of health care, education, senior programs, parks and recreation, transportat

join me now, congressman barney frank, democrat from massachusetts, and a longtime throwing on the side of the gop. he's one of the author of the dodd/frank bill. mr. chairman, thank you for joining me this evening. thank you,al. thank yohese extreme views to the country? >> they can be very damaging. let me give you an example. unemployment is obviously one of the things people are most concerned or republicans claim to be concerned about it. we have a higher unemployment rate now in mechanic rachelle terms, because the right wing has forced cities and states to lay people off. people that clean up the snow, firefighters, but then they turn around and say we cannot reduce the biggest single item, the military budget, which includes subs dieding people we shouldn't be subsidizing, that would cost jobs, they say. i'll tell you what cost jobs, and these numbers i just verified. employment in the private sector over the past several years is up 2.8%, but it's been reduced to 1.9% overall because of the loss of public sector jobs. in other words, if the cities and states had just been allow
