paul's completely silent. now, this suggests to us that paul had... indeed had a showdown in antioch. he did face off with peter. he didn't win. he didn't carry the day, at least not that day. so this suggests to us that james' party was influential, and influential outside the... its jerusalem jurisdiction, and that perhaps james' posse were there because they felt that their authority should be exercised outside of the jurisdiction of jerusalem. >> the blow-up in antioch over eating with gentiles probably is the turning point in paul's career. paul left and went to western turkey, or asia minor, and greece. for the next ten years, from 50 to roughly 60, paul will concentrate all of his efforts in this region of the aegean basin. it's probably ephesus and the areas immediately around ephesus that will be his most important base of operations. ephesus was a cosmopolitan environment. the inscriptions and the statues and the artwork and the buildings all tell us that this is really a crossroads of culture and religious life throughout the mediterranean

i think we all think we know rand paul because we do know ron paul so well. >> yeah. and i don't know that -- you know, i don't think the apple falls all that far from the tree. on the key issue of defense or on military engagement, rand paul is pointedly not an isolationist. i think that's a fair description of his father. his father talked about bringing all the troops home and maintaining a minimal defense posture. rand paul, he gave a big speech at the heritage foundation this year that was having intriguing and nuances. it was about engaging radical islam by trade. and so what rand paul is saying and i hope that the republican party if they want a future, they have to get rid of the hawks. we've had, you know, a dozen years of neocon interventions both under republicans and the democrats. it's been a huge failure. and it's cost a lot of money. >> john, do you think the party is ready saying every time we respond to a hot spot by opening a base, we're actually making ourselves less safe, not more safe. are they ready for that kind of conversation? >> i don't think

i'm paul gigot. the white house released new obama care enrollment numbers this week boasting four times as many federal exchange signups in november as the previous month. health and human services secretary kathleen seb bealious told a house committee hearing wednesday that over 364,000 americans are now enrolled in the federal and state health insurance exchanges, a number that several republicans on the committee questioned. >> of these 364,000 americans, do you know how many of those individuals will actually have coverage in effect on january 1, 2014? >> once they pay their premium, they'll have coverage in effect. >> so you don't know that these are the ones who just selected a plan but haven't paid their first payment on their premium? >> some may have paid, some may have not. we're giving you the enrollment numbers. >> joining the panel this week, wall street journal columnist dan hedinger and washington columnist kim straussle. that was a pretty telling exchange between secretary sebelius a

i was trying to get paul walker's stuntman and paul walker's friend, newt, they're his best friends. they came out and had no clue what was going on. i was saying, look, i think he was in a fire, a car accident because there's a fire. and he said, well, there's a special effects building behind us that they blow things up all the time. nobody was taking me serious. finally, eric, paul walker's stuntman, waumgdu walked upment and i said eric, i know they were in an accident. i haven't heard from my son yet. and my friend mitch said, i'm going going up there. when he start the up there, they took off behind him. and they went up in the hill around the corner where the loop was. that's when i got my call from the sun that it was definitely a car accident and the car was on fire. and everybody grabbed fire extinguishers and went up there. unfortunately it was too late. the fire department arrived within 30 seconds that they arrived up there. and there was nothing anybody could do. paul walker's best friend did everything he could with the flames. he was trying to get his best friend out

some of paul's friends came up. and when they got here, of course you see what happened. >> we have got some clip here of paul walker's father, actually at the scene today getting very emotional. let's watch this. >> he -- i was proud of him every day of his life. he -- was always doing stuff for us. such big gestures. his heart was so big. >> made me sad, obviously, for all the family. and indeed, as many of the fans are around the world, there is an outpouring of grief. you said they intended to go out for about five minutes, how long had they been out when you saw them go past you seconds before the crash? >> it seemed like five minutes, but it was longer. they were gone about 20 minutes. >> and what were they doing? were they just testing the car, playing around with it? what would you describe the activity they were engaged in? >> they were just going around the block. they were just driving the car -- >> at what kind of speeds. >> test driving the car. >> it was kind of hard, when -- we had a highway patrolman

paul ryan is a defer sit hawk. he likes to concoct budget plans with blende of bitter medicine to go around. question, is this a winning presidential agenda? >> he in his previous budgets has gone after entitlements. i don't think he will do that in the negotiations that are going on the end of this year into next year because senior citizens are the only voting bloc that's loyal to the republicans right now. he won't want to alienate them. ryan is trying to pick up the jack kemp mantle of compassionate conservatism. he has been traveling to urban areas with bob woodson who was a civil rights activist who was prominent during the reagan era. they don't believe in government support for these programs for anti-poverty programs. they want to energize the private sector. i don't think it's very realistic, but nonetheless that's his new schtick. mounting a presidential race from the house is a tough thing even in the best of times. these are the worst of times. when you have this -- ryan is a defacto member of the hous

you go from ron paul to rand paul. they've both targeted the fed because they don't like paper money. their followers have conspiracy theories about the fed. some go off the rails. they've played up to this paranoia, which is a component of the tea party right. so rand paul comes and says, i just want to audit the fed. you know, he's not waging a war on christmas. he has been waging a war on the fed. this is just a clever way of doing it and trying to hold the senate hostage to basically satisfy the paranoia he and his dad have been addressing for years. >> the thing i don't understand, maggie, is rand paul, he's been positioning himself for a 2016 run in recent months. let's give him that. reminding everybody of his kind of whack-a-do financial theories, the fact he's the son of ron paul, who would like us to go back to the gold standard, abolish the fed. eviscerating the department of energy and commerce, the epa, fda, getting rid of the department of education, privatizing social security and medicare. this dredges

so now lindsey graham is against paul ryan. because the front lines in the republican civil war are apparently moving so fast right now, that there's no way to tell which side you're supposed to be on, until you realize you're on the wrong side. but the republicans just have broken out into a full-on civil war right now. it's not just republican members of congress against outside conservative groups who pressure them. it's also republican members of congress against republican members of congress. and particularly, right now, it's republican senators against republicans in the house. and none of the old alliances appear to be sticking. so this is all very fun. it's all fascinating to watch, at least, as the house goes to bed for the year. the plan in the senate, however, seems to be that they will never go to bed again, ever. the senate stayed in session all night last night. they took a vote to confirm a judge around 1:00 a.m. then they stayed all night to take another couple of votes to confirm another judge and another nomi

paul, i want to go back to unemployment insurance. for weeks, months, years, i've been told by democrats that extending it is a moral imperative. in fact especially at christmastime. last week the president said that it's the difference between hardship and catastrophe for some families. so why is the president going to sign a bill that he thinks is immoral, is guess the values of your party, and why is he declaring it a victory? >> because, i may not like it, but the american people decided to put republicans in charge of the house of representatives. okay. they won fair and square, then they got reelected fair and square. i don't like it, but my guess tim and his friends don't like our president was elected fair and square and reelected fair and square. >> agreed. >> but the point behind compromise, it literally means both sides made a promise to support something from a neutral arbiter. we don't have an arbiter now, but both sides have to accept things they really hate. that's the essence of self-government here. >> back when the b

so let's talk about what ron paul said everybody knows that ron paul said ron paul because you could destroy the dollar we know that he said that but there was an interesting point made in the articles talking about him saying this and i want to call upon that even economists who embrace the power of central banks like university of michigan professor miles kimball recognize the currencies potential bitcoin really shows governments are behind the curve campbell said it demonstrates there's a demand for an outlet tronic equivalent of cash so here we are in this new era where the people wanted something it was not provided by the too big to fail banks who were merged and connected and wrapped around government they protect each other's monopoly the banks protect the government monopoly the government protects the banks monopoly they were not willing to provide the services that the consumer demanded the people demanded and a globalized world the people themselves came up with this currency which is much better than anything. thing that the governments themselves have imposed upon us an

and i think that's what paul ryan has done here. when you look at some of these conservative group, they had the fund raising letters out before they had any ability to analyze what was in the deal. so the politics for profit wing of the party is at it again to the detriment of the wing of the party that actually has to play a part in governing the country. and that's what you're seeing here. >> are you surprised to see the speaker of the house directly shot at them. that they're mad because they know this is a way if you're mad at a budget deal to show your anger, and can you raise a lot of money on it. and that's not the interests of the republican party being done there, but the interest of the fundraiser. i've never seen boehner to do this. to go after the fund money, the rich people in the party. >> there's a lot of evidence to suggest that he's been thinking it for a long time. it's good that he said it. and so when you look at the recent history of the republican party over the last couple years, look, when you appease this c

point well let's refer back to joe wiesenthal because he interviewed paul krugman about bitcoin only days before congress wrote this big queen is evil thing and let's turn to what he said then about what why between is a problem in principle you can have assets which are considered valuable even though there is nothing backing them because self-fulfilling expectations now we don't actually think that money is like that because that's backed ultimately by the fact that you pay taxes with the right people always say that but it is a right if you have money is it if you have money if you like is backed by many men with guns very good point is not so why should this thing have any value so backed by men with guns that tells you everything you need to know well in fact guess on the show catherine austin fits dr michael hudson and others who point to the fact that the dollar as world reserve currency is backed by guns because people say there's nothing intrinsically valuable about bitcoin and then the other side will say there's nothing intrinsically valuable about the dollar because the f

again. >> paul ryan your great leader, the paul revere of conservative economics, usaying he's a benedict arnold? >> not at all. >> he's saying it does bring down deficit -- >> he's saying that the deficit is reduced ten years from now instead of today. what we're doing is increasing spending today for the 2014 and 2015 years, with promising of spending reductions ten years from now. that's constitutionally what the sequester was. >> what does the word bipar sanship mean to you and the tea party? >> what it means to me is we can come osteoto do things for the american people. this doesn't do anything for the american people. it just increases spending. >> congressman becerra, democrats are not completely aligned with this bill, either. there seems to be a fissure. democracy for america sent out an e-mail telling democrats not to vote for it. with progressives like elizabeth warren, phil deblass i don't, van jones over here, trying to bring the party further leftward, aren't you worried that democrats who vote for this are going to be communicating that they're vu lip service to the progre

we know you like paul ryan. he's from wisconsin and showing leadership here, but do you think this is a good idea? >> i do. i think it is good to go forward, but i also think we have to reinforce why races like the one we're going to have in arkansas and other places around the country are so important. if you're going to bring conservative activists across the table, they have to see it for what it is, and it's a big wake-up call particularly if grassroots people want to see a stronger budget in the future, we have to trust the government. >> you've got over 500 people who have signed up for gop changes in your state. you're being conservative, and yet you seem to be doing something different in your state. you'll allow people to go directly to the insurance companies. is that a level of support on some level for obamacare? >> no, in my case, i did everything in my power. i allowed my attorney general, on the first day i took office, to join the federal lawsuit. i didn't take the state exchange, i didn't take t

quote, this is paul krugman of the times. the gop answer to the problem of long-term unemployment is to increase the pain of long-term unemployed. cut off benefits and they'll find jobs. how will they find jobs when there are three times as many job seekers as job vacancies? details, details. the unemployment do not -- extended unemployment insurance benefits in the most recent recession prompted some people who otherwise would have dropped out of the workforce to stay a little longer. here we go. ron, this is a basic republican argument. i'm getting back to the politics. why do they say that? why is rand paul -- i know he's an ayn rand conservative. i got to tell you, howard rourke, john gall. they wouldn't collect unemployment i guess. they're dynamos. they're titans of industry. is that where the values are coming from? >> or they're sociopaths. >> that's your reading. you're tough. anyway, what do you think is driving a guy who wants to be president to say something that's obviously going to stagger a lot of people in the

house republicans are embracing paul ryan and embracing this deal. john boehner is getting to go back out there -- >> and call them ridiculous, all that stuff. >> and at the same time, suddenly mitch mcconnell and john cornyn are saying paul ryan is crazy, it is a bad idea. we don't want to do this. and it is a fascinating flip of roles. >> we'll have to see how long the house votes, they're saying saturday night that would be hilarious just for the state they would be in by then. but in the house when they go to vote on the paul ryan thing, what is your impression? do you think it will pass? >> i think it will pass, there are enough house republicans supporting it. a lot of guys are looking for ways to put distance between themselves and heritage action, and other groups saying i'm not totally beholden to these groups. and ryan is a unique figure within the republican party. people believe in him. they think he is a conservative. the mitt romney/rhino stink didn't go to him -- >> i love that you had a staffer saying that paul ryan is our jesus, you
