susan: mr. johnson, one of the other things you announced was a desire to change the tax status of your organization, a nonprofit still, but a 501(c)(4), which would allow the organization to get more involved at the national level and political advocacy. how do you intend to use that new tax status? derrick: first of all, we will always be a 501(c)(3) organization. the announcement is we would like to have a 501(c)(4) coordinating national presence . our local units are currently 501(c)(4). they have the ability to do grassroots lobbying and to really raise questions and take positions on policy issues. the national office is limited in our voice. we have a 501(c) charitable status. the announcement in terms of our next step is to make sure we have a 501(c)(4) voice that can coordinate and collaborate much more effectively with our local units so when national policy issues come up, we don't have a cap. we can have the ability to say these things are wrong, and we want our members to vote to as

susan, i want to take a listen to steve bannon talking about 2020. here it is. >> going to finish this term, he's going to win with 400 electoral votes in 2020. >> 2020? we have to get through 2018, susan. isn't that where republicans should keep their focus? you have senator ted cruz saying the midterms could be a blood bath for the gop. not seen since the likes of watergate if they don't pass critical legislation. i mean, is it plausible the democrats retake the house and senate after 2018? >> at this point, donald trump became president, so yes, anything is possible. should it happen? it should not right now. when you have a president, a house, a senate all the same party. you should see some losses, but the calendar, especially for the u.s. senate, is so on the republicans' favor, but it looks like steve bannon is on his way of trying to blow that up. and i will say this for bannon, though. he is making inroads on the ground in these states where he wants to put in republican challenges. and the republican party, the establishment, if you will, o

susan: it does not. if you look at the specific charges against all metaphor and kevin gates -- paul manafort and kevin gates. there's a lot more work to be done. what this does show is that the independent counsel is making real progress in the investigation. to have this series of indictments left a guilty plea already is showing great progress. kevin: i covered the hearings of the committees here. national security officials have all said that russia tried to penetrate u.s. democratic systems. you think the president is effectively communicating the message to prevent this from happening again? susan: i think the president needs to do much more. all, if you look at what the leaders in france, germany, montenegro did, they put out the facts that the russians were trying to undermine the basic premise of western democracy. that is fair and free election. in my judgment, that helps to insulate those countries because the population was on guard for a propaganda effort. kevin: why is the president communi

cheryl: susan? susan: i also really like the paper, and i wasn't a co-author. [laughter] susan: i think it does a nice job stating up front what most economists would agree, and that is that benefit cost analysis, the net benefits test is the right measure, the right way to go about introducing new regulations and evaluating existing regulations, but there is a paragraph i will quote repeatedly that says, the reason for doing a constraint like this is not economic, but it is political economy. adding that constraint is because there are problems with the way benefit cost analysis is done. as ted mentioned briefly, agency incentives to look at and evaluate new regulations and measure benefits and costs, but also to look back and evaluate the effect of existing regulation. the fact that often regulated parties once regulations are in place, not removing them or evaluating them. and that it is just plain hard to do. i think there are a lot of arguments. i think the paper makes an excellent case for why despite the fact that we all think things can be done perfectl

susan gets it absolutely right. i think the reason that this question has continued political resonance is some people lose their jobs because of the regulation. some people gain jobs as of the regulation. but the people that either lose their jobs because of the regulation or who believe they lost their jobs because of the regulation remember it and vote and donate accordingly. people who gain jobs because of regulation are probably very unlikely to credit the regulation with them getting the job. so there is an asymmetry that. an addition to the issues talked about, which makes it hard to estimate the impact, there is clearly an imbalance political incentive.. it is a great point. it is often the same person who loses their job or who gets you were hours may have actually gained a greater health benefit or something, but they discount that. you don't know about the illness not suffered. so there really is a difference that is extremely important, but when it comes to the link between growth and regulation, there i

susan, i've got 30 seconds left. do you keep up with russian media? i know -- what are they saying about us these days? >> you know, i was really struck by the response of rt's editor in chief to the news today that it was going to be banned from buying ads on twitter. margarita tweeted immediately out a presentation that she said that twitter had given to rt pitching their business and asking them to buy ads targeted at the 2016 election. and so, you know, it's a two-way street in this new media world we live in. but, you know, in the end basically, vladimir putin gave a little noticed speech last week in which he basically said, yeah, america is still against me and i'm still against america. poor donald trump tried to change things, but it didn't work out. >> i'm glad that settled. mike mcfaul, susan glasser, thank you so much for participating in our conversation tonight. >>> another break for us. when we come back, this late release of these jfk assassination documents, what we've learned in looking at them so far. baa baa black sheep, have you a

susan and i would agree. get republicans and democrats together on a proposal to make things better. lamar alexander and patty murray have done that. 48 democrats, you're right. 12 republicans ready for it. they got all the votes they need. even they can do away with any filibuster. if this passes the senate, i believe donald trump will sign it. so, get it done. get it done. >> all right, bill preston and susan, tell me what you want done. thanks, guys. >>> he called on voters to rejeblr reject the politics of fear and another reason president obama returned to the campaign trail this week. we'll talk about that next. >>> president trump continues to push his plan for tax cuts, but could your 401(k) be the loser in the end? that's in our next hour. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, s

where does this stephanopoulos, susan? >> you know, look, i think what you see is this is a way of once again focusing like a laser on what trump perceives to be the political base that brought him to power and, you know, they are not taking a let's make a deal whether it's on gun control or birth control. >> or transgender people. >> absolutely. the strategy is very clear. it's to focus on 2020 in a way even more than 2018 to focus on the president and who brung him. you also see they have appointed a very conservative executive branch government so trump might not have his own sort of cadre of trumpians to come into power insi inside the white house, right but there is a very clear group of people who have come and to different executive agencies of the trump administration and they are systemically you know rolling back policies they disagreed with fervently of president obama. i think it's not going to change the minds of almost anybody, right, but it might be something that earns trump a little bit more goodwill with
