51% have positive feelings towards socialism, only 45% have positive feelings towards capitalism. we conducted several polling. what we showed in our last poll more people learned about socialism those numbers went down. the more we shared information about capitalism numbers went up. that s the bigger point. the way in which capitalism is being practiced today. that s not being effective. overall we look at the overall electorate 18 plus. 50% or so think the system is okay or needs to be further deregulated. america is split. but younger people who overwhelmingly believe the system is broken and we need more government control of thing like health care, education, housing and that sort of thing. once you read the history book socialism is less appealing. ron you live in a real city. you stan in line for coffee.
p procedures. there s precedent for it. it s offensive by the president and his team to say that we can do whatever we want with respect to security clearances and we don t have to tell anybody about it, in fact we can lie about it. if they were happy and proud of the decision why did they mislead the american people. jeremy, can you speak to how serious the level of clearance we re talking about here is and how important the process is especially when you had the cia, for example, raising red flags about jared kushner, perhaps, being compromised because of some of his business entanglements overseas? what makes it serious these are two individuals jared and ivanka who has proximity to the oval office, proximity to the president. they are around classified information all day long. now i have a down in my own mind why ivanka needs access to
with mbs alone while the president is off with kim jong-un. and there s no question raised? no issue, no information about questions about the murder of a washington post reporter and you adding there s a virginia resident right now in saudi custody that s being tortured potentially and jared kushner what exactly is he doing for the american people and for american interests with the crown prince at this time, at this moment in history? what could he be doing with them that s helpful to america and not helpful to trump s personal financial interests? you have asked the operative question. and that is part of the reason why it s so important for the united states congress and the american people to get a full picture of the president s and president s family financial picture whether through the emolument clause or through subpoenas. we can answer that question better what jared kushner is
president would consider, actually increase the economic sanction, toughen the sanctions instead of lifting them as kim jong-un wants. but there s been a division certainly between john bolton s tougher line and the president s willingness to quote trust but shall we say not verify. incredible turn of events. and incredible information coming forward. we know you ll be following that. andrea, i want to get your take on the politics at the moment and tissue of oversight with this presidency, especially given the fact that you covered the clinton presidency and dealt with a lot of these issues and confronted these questions. first of all can congress be stopped from getting access to donald trump s tax returns and what s your take on the many, many requests for documents? reporter: well, it s clearly a case where there have been many, many precedents in past administrations. republican as well as democratic
instead he offered to let the committee review documents and get a briefing. elijah cummings rejected the idea that congress doesn t have the authority to get the documents, stating the white hou house s argument denies the separation of powers. jeremy bash, if the oversight committee wants to know why two people got a security clearance when it seems that many were very concerned about it and those two people are directly related to the president, one is his daughter, what would be the white house s ability to stop that process and hand over all the information about the security clearances? well they could try to fight but at the end of the day the white house will lose because congress does have authority and does have the power to review security practices within the executive branch. that s after all what gave rise under republican rule then chairman trey gowdy s efforts to look at hillary clinton s e-mail
