My guest, martin wolf, says the us debt ceiling is the legislative equivalent of a nuclear bomb that america has aimed at itself.

Looking at this from outside, what i see is the old American Revolutionary tradition if you like, against government, against over mighty government, but now its your own, not king george. And it seems to recur. And its fairly scary when its there. Lets listen to a couple of members of congress who were really saying that default, and whatever would follow, its no big deal. Listen. I would dispel the rumor that is going around that you hear on every newscast that if we dont raise the debt ceiling, we will default on our debt. We wont. Well continue to pay our interest, well continue to redeem bonds and well issue new bonds to replace those. So, its not entirely accurate. Were never, ever, ever, ever. Its implausible that we wont make out interest payments. You have a 3. 1 trillion were going to take in in tax revenues, were going to spend about 3. 7 trillion . So, using language like, well, were going to default. Has the left decided that theyre hungry to scare the markets . Hungry to
Colleague and bin laden . The level of violence, the him in thatuts category. I do think he shares that ideology, both in terms of the level of violence and, ultimately, grandiose aspirations he has set forth. So yes, i would put him in the same category. Isil has set itself on a path apart from the rest of al qaeda and in part based on their disagreement with the tactics. And the approach. Is more about means. With respect to ends, they share the same ideology. To emphasize that isil or isis or whatever you a to call is part of a broader transformation, lets call it al qaeda is him, in the last couple of years. In that context, how worried are ,ou that the old al qaeda core perhaps with new leaders coming in, is poised to view resurrected and research as the United States and nato, who draw forces from afghanistan and pakistan . Of seeing anger repeat of what has happened in iraq or al qaeda in iraq . We thought it was, if not destroy, at least on the back foot, resurrecting itself wi
Hello, everyone. Im ashleigh banfield. Thanks for being with us. The flu is on a terror. People you would never expect are dying. We are watching the white house as sportsmen, video game makers and the ncra all come together to talk about guns. Vice President Biden is hosting another day of back to back meetings with socalled stake holders in the firearms debate. The Vice President has set off a firestorm in conservative ranks by suggesting that the president might not rely, necessarily, on congress, at least not entirely, to crack down on gun violence in america. Enter, the executive order. Enter the instantaneous backlash. So when biden, himself a liberal democrat, says that himself and the president , cabinet, attorney general, all a bunch of leftist democrats are talking about using executive orders, when you say for what, it could only be to take guns away from people. Who knew that an executive order could trump a constitutional amendment . Nope, nope. Sorry. No rush. You are ver

Heres something to make you really, really mad. Our countrys infrastructure is crumbling. Potholes are becoming sinkholes, axlekillers, tirebusters. Our cities struggle to pay for services. The powersthatbe in bankrupt detroit even cut off the water to some residents. Schools and libraries are closing. Public parks decay. And the war party in washington clamors for billions of dollars more for foreign interventions bombs, rockets, drones, even troops. 20 million americans who would like a
