in fact, weiss supporters even defend the golden parachutes like the $20 million payment that weiss will receive from lazard to take this government job. why? they say it is an important tool in making sure that wall street executives will continue to be willing to run government policy making. >> she's really hitting at the very thing you have been writing about, talking about, and advocating. but nothing is going to change, as you yourself have said and written, unless the grip of the moneyed interest on our parties and on democracy is broken? how can you fight that much power, that much money? >> you have to run primary campaigns, cheap primary campaigns against incumbents, like the tea party, in the democratic party, like the tea party does against incumbent republicans. you've got to actually take political action and present candidates with an alternative point of view. but you also have to go to fostoria and then come back and tell me and tell your colleagues that their town is falling apart, they can't send their kids to school anymore, they've got to work in a fast food place. d

i want to get mikechael weiss's sense on this. listening to what nic robertson said they are just using all of these hostages one by one by one as the cards they are playing in their propaganda game. >> right. >> what is the end game for isis? >> look the negotiations themselves are the end game in the sense that they're not called the islamic state for nothing. they want to be recognized. they want to be legitimated as a form of government. this is the idea behind the caliphate. getting jordan to agree to even talks for the prospective release of the jordanian pilot, essentially what that does it treats isis not as a terrorist organization that must be completely pro described and only attacked not engaged with, it relates them more like an insurgency. >> it that a mistake, then? >> according to the united states it is. again president obama came out very clearly when he announced his strategy. this is not a state, this is a terror organization. the u.s. engages with groups you might consider to be terroristic in nature such as t

she wasn't the only person opposing weiss. you have dick durbin, the senator from illinois, very close to the president, i don't want this nomination, either. i think she's gaining a lot of power. like josh said this is not the first person she opposed. she was behind the scenes opposing larry summers, heading the federal reserve, as well. she is not just attacking people with wall street experience. people that are close to the clintons, who are more pro-wall street in policy even if they didn't work on wall street. just the broader schism between a pro-wall street view of the democratic party, one that can work with wall street. and warren is almost anti-wall street anti-citigroup, break up the bank vision of the democratic party. >> the democratic party, when bill clinton was president, made the alliance with wall street. put this on a broader context. republicans have made it to go of dodd frank. hillary clinton tweeted on that subject. attacking financial reform is risky and wrong. better for congress to focus on jobs and

with me now is human rights lawyer, deborah weiss. all right. two days after the paris attack, a liberal newspaper in america posts a "charlie hebdo" cartoon of a jewish man pushing muhammad in a wheelchair. his face is blurred but not the jer jews. why is it okay to do that? is islam forcing us to self-censor already? >> yes, it is, judge jeanine. actually i suppose muslims could argue that the prophet muhammad is their prophet and the jewish man is just a jew, but the fact is any time anybody shows any muslim or anything that's islam related in a negative light, they consider it defamation of religions -- the defamation of islam and it violates islamic blasphemy code, so we are self-cens self-censoring. >> when you look at it, not meant as criticism, virtually the reality today. virtually no one in the media reproduced the "charlie hebdo" cartoon that caused this terrorist attack, supposedly, in paris. >> that's true. and while here in america a lot of people will say that we should be sensitive or have responsible speech or politically correc

elizabeth warren has antonio weiss's head on a spike. she succeeded in getting his appointment block from the treasury department. however eight of your party is of elizabeth warren? >> they welcome a fight with elizabeth warren. when you get her to the rest of the country, they would welcome. they have done democratic infighting. they feel she should be a mcgovern type candidate. that remains to be seen. that is a widely held view. >> you are in congress and 2006 when there was a push for immigration legislation. that is what's on tap for the next several months. do the republicans -- did the republicans miss a chance to get a bill on their own terms? do they have a better chance now? >> we had very different house and senate bills. the leadership, at that point, decided that this would be too controversial within our base to try to bring the two together. we let it die in conference. the president has taken an initiative on a hard stuff. what the republicans want to do -- get more high tech devices in. more green cards for businesses a

weiss, that's what happens in politics. if you get a position of any significance, new people start hanging around that you've never met before and they want to give you stuff, they want to hang out with you, they want to be your friend. what's the message for politicians who have been lucky to get elected, like the new members of congress today? >> well, it's like our moms tell us, if you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. be very careful of the people that you let hang around you. this is a federal prosecution. this was not a state prosecution of bogus proportion like delay. a jury agreed this was more than just business as usual. and it's funny because those of us who watch the cowboy game on sunday looked up in jerry jones' booth and saw chris christie. well, you know, probably business as usual. probably a couple of good old boys, but i'm telling you -- >> is he allowed to take a free ride to a football game? is he allowed to sit in a booth and accept those favors from an owner of a team? is he allowed to? he

is that the only thing that would square me and it's not there. >> steve weiss. >> i agree. i don't think now is the time to panic. 3% perhaps understates the carnage underneath the index headlines. so, for example, if you take a look at the hospitals, they're down 10, 15%. >> right. >> if you take a look at other groups, retail, because of the retail sales numbers they're down. so there are pockets of carnage and not just underperformance in that market. we saw the same thing last year. so last year unless you were in health care, utilities and technology you really didn't have a great year. so this year i think sets up even with more volatility than last year. we invest in the hedge funds and the hedge fund managers have lowered exposure but to the extent they are seeing many, many more opportunities on the short side. if you were short tesla, make something money. >> on the long side too? >> on the long side they do see opportunities. it's the short side that's really bringing down their net exposure to the market and as a group, uniformly excited about it. so i think thi

original goals are already being met and if canadian producers are already sending oil across the border, weiss keystone necessary? >> i think -- go ahead, kevin. >> you have already got a rich market for oil in the gulf of mexico but most of that market is being served by venezuela and mexico. keystone could bring canadian oil to that market in greater volumes, democratizing the market and bringing a better price for refiners. i think that is worth doing. if it travels by pipeline, the price will be lower. so it has a more democratizing effect. >> doug, you wanted to jump in? >> i agree with that trick from the canadian point of view they get access to a market they would like to compete in. economics and poor -- economics abhors a vacuum. >> the question for both of you -- doug, you first -- is the keystone debate about the pipeline or is it about overall u.s. energy policy and if, as expected, the president does veto the legislation, then what? >> certainly does has become our symbolic issue and these are symbolic votes, which is one of the reasons that logic and rationality do not dictate t
