We all need to safety. We be safe and strong against , anda, china, north korea iran. You think we should give away all of our secrets, i feel sorry for your students read you are absolutely wrong. Host let us give him a chance to respond. Guest i said quite the opposite, there are secrets that need to be protected but we have to strike a balance and find out what information out there is in the Public Interest that doesnt need to get out to the public. I am glad you mentioned that, i did not want to give that impression. I, as a journalist, have been in times imposition of an information of information. There was a lot of information we did this close of an earlier event because we thought it would undermine sources and methods and damage the government possibility to fight terrorism. I am a big believer in spiking a balance. Striking a balance. I think there is an overclassification of information. The Obama Administration has created a task force to try to go through each Government
Very fortunate that i got in position to collaborate with others in trying to realize some of those things. In is a question from twitter that i was also interested in. The question is, how does the fed evaluate costs and benefits of Equity Capital requirements . How do you get to that number compared to where basel was . We did an awful lot of work on capital ratios, both the levels that seemed prescribed or needed in order to reduce e chances of financial instability but also the cost of the economy. We did a lot of that in collaboration with other Basel Committee members in a quite substantial exercise but we actually did a bunch of that on our own. So we actually formulated, i think, quite a good an lytic framework on both sides of that question and that informed our positions on baseliii and on the surcharges. In both cases we were in favor of somewhat higher numbers and eventually came out and that was based in part on the analysis we have done. With respect to the leverage ratio
Want it. So why are you blaming us for it . There were some times that things were explained to each side and maybe they felt better and that they a lot of people do run for the senate particularly house members, at some point, harry reid was a house member, so was john mccain way back, because they wanted to be in a chamber that afforded them more pow for the negotiation and wasnt just run on 218 votes. And they, i think, apparently a group of members that are trying o maintain a vision of the senate that they had when they ran for the office. David drucker who is joining us on capitol hill.

This tactic that has been used before. Well talk about all this in a moment and get into the big debate, should the u. S. Have seen all this coming, considering russias history of doing this kind of thing before. And this goes back to the grand old days of propaganda wars. Im proud to be an american and believe in disseminating the truth and that is why after this newscast im resigning. Thats ms. Wall, quitting on air today, ill talk to her and her former colleague abby martin who condemned russian aggression on the air and kept her job, well, for now anyway. Well also bring you some stunning story behind this i incredible video, the distressed pregnant mother driving straight into the surf in florida with three of her children on board. Ill speak with the two Good Samaritans that saved her life. We begin with the story that seems to be playing out on r. T. America. Two days after abby martin shocked the world and looked directly at the camera condemning russias move into the ukraine.
The world. 14 countries in all, in fact. But more than half of them are from china, and at least three are americans. U. S. Intelligence officials are following reports about the two passengers who may have been traveling on stolen passports. They tell cnn, were aware of the reporting on the two lost or stolen passports. No nexus to terrorism yet, were still tracking that intelligence source. We have correspondents and analysis covering this story from all angles. Cnn analyst tom fuentes in washington and Andrew Stevens in beijing. Lets begin with tom. How are we going to find out the identities of these people who may have been indeed traveling on stolen passports . Again that could be a slow process, but the first thing theyll do is going back over the videos of when they checked in, and see if theres video coverage of that at the ticket counter in the malaysian airport. See that would be, you know, probably the first clue to try on that. I should add something to my earlier reportin
