Future of Gop - Krugman, smart. brooks, delusional.

sis well i i i it's very rare that we see agreement between to prominent new york times op ed dot writers one being paul krugman to the other being david brooks and uh... worthy of note and particularly as we head into this uh... big emigre eg immigration a battle uh... because this is uh... uh... another one of those issues that will uh... will wrap up our the republican party in many respects and we're already seeing uh... guys like markle wrote me a lot there trying to trying in some way to put down a marker for his twenty sixteen ron uh... in the meantime we may actually get some type of some type of immigration reform uh... that uh... is beginning to look at some what encouraging i mentioned uh... yesterday uh... the proposal from the gang of eight which i guess turned out to be seven uh... because was it was that uh... that uh... dropped off some report republican senator who thought there was too much and missed the about this uh... proposal uh... but we will talk about that as we continue so uh... paul krugman yesterday excuse me i'm mohammed sunday all rights makers takers and fake urs any rights the prom in a republicans have begun acknowledging that their party needs to improve its image but here's the thing their proposals for makeover all involve changing the sales pitch rather than the product when it comes to substance the g_o_p_ is more committed to add then amber the policies that take from most americans and give to a wealth of wealthy handful the republican party has a two-prong strategy right now to regain some type of the national foothold one is to pretend that they're not crazy the other is to jerry raid elections in what have been leaning blues states on a national level by coming up with these uh... new type of electronic all schemes we've talked about these electoral schemes but getting back to the uh... makeover the extreme taken over there trying to do uh... david brooks echoes paul krugman on the surface republicans are already doing a good job beginning to change their party but so far there have been more calls for change than actual evidence of change in this uh... reinvention process republicans seem to have spent no time talking to people who didn't already vote for them they'd both site jim dahl and paul ryan and uh... ruby o but as paul paul krugman reminds us that back in louisiana jim dahl is pushing a plan to eliminate the state's income tax you know we've got a couple emails and i've got received a couple of tweets from our listeners saying there is a move by republicans in states like kansas like in the louisiana uh... probably uh... a little bit less than a half dozen others to get rid of the income tax and replace it with a state uh... who excuse me to get rid of the state income tax and replace it with sales taxes however as crewmen points out income tax falls most heavily on the affluent and sales taxes fall much more heavily on the poor in middle class the result would be big gains for the top one percent substantial list losses for the bottom sixty percent krugman goes on to talk about this in a more economic terms of course brooks is not so concerned about that bulb os happy in his suburbs but brooks' pieces completely incomprehensible he goes on to say he is opposing government as your primary objective it's hard to have a positive governing program on this i agree with i've been saying it for six to eight years i think on the radio that the republicans cannot lead government because they they are fundamentally opposed to existence they don't see it as a mechanism to enhance people's lives brooks goes on to say after budget gibberish the next problem with this mentality is that it makes it hard for republicans to analyze social and economic problems that don't flow directly from big government brooks uh... apparently feels that he has the attack at capacity to do this although uh... when you just talked about anecdotes that center around who drink chablis uh... more one might find it hard moreover given all the anti government rhetoric people never trust these republicans the reformed church programs like social era de medicare can't be for entitlement reform and today's g_o_p_ because politically the two will never go together well uh... because can curl polygons change their underlying mentality to adopt these realities intellectual history says no it's probably few child to try and change the car republicans so what is uh... david brooks is fascinating prescription for this problem it's smart to build a new window of the republican party the second g_o_p_ wouldn't be based on the encryption story that being that government is encroaching on your individual liberty it would be based on the idea that america has been hit simultaneously by two crisis which you might call the main core olson crisis in the charles murray crisis also argued that nation's decline because there is any institutions get loaded in school *** and retired national dynasty dynamism murray argues that america is coming apart dividing into two nations one with high education level stable families and good opportunities that the other low education levels on stable families a bad opportunities well aside from uh... realistic relating the charles murray's horrible individual many respect uh... it sounds like what uh... brooks is uh... signing off on his john edwards two americas the second g_o_p_ would tackle both problems at once it would be filled with people who recoils that president obama second inaugural address because of it success of faith in centralized power but who don't share the absolute antigovernment story of the current g_o_p_ well what it sounds like is he wants to go back to the first uh... the first inaugural address of president obama and the way that president obama has basically been uh... leading but let's leave that aside for a moment the question the central question david brooks leaves us with at the end of his pieces who's going to build a second g_o_p_ and fortunately for david brooks i have the answer no-one no one the entire project of the republican base for the past ten years it is true grit itself of that second g_o_p_ the david brooks so desperately pines for in fact to the extent that you need a second g_o_p_ you're looking at probably uh... third to a half of the democratic party that embraces is neoliberal policies basically let saying let's have a kinder gentler way of screwing over the middle class and the poor in this country by dave david brock's actually comes out david metz dennis you know what happens to david brooks he loses his job he's got no reason to exist he doesn't get invited back on to uh... on two nd the layering order whatever whatever whatever that can be a shipment is that the lira port you no longer can use our the newshour so david brooks pretends like there is some possibility talk about intellectual history david brooks pretends there's some possibility for second g_o_p_ it is what it is mister brooks uh... i don't know how what's left for him to write yuki to spend the rest of the decade reading vehicle bliss for all the things that he wrote the first part kustra crap crap at at as possible you setup the the vision of iraq wrote for the first week is a radio show and he was talking with the guy who oppose the invasion he said how does it feel that your entire world you crumble he said that the seventy-seven somebody pulls the invasion there you go well now he knows although i suspect that happen quite a while ago he still needs the cash check stuff
