the seeds of ross perot came from newt gingrich if you will. it was frustrating he remembered the challenges in new hampshire where the president was challenged within his own party. that gave oxygen to ross perot. it was a frustrating thing. if ross perot had not run i do think george h.w. bush would have won reelection. i'm not sure the united states would be as unified as we think it would be. i think it's the divisiveness were actually sewn and kind of upset the apple cart. i do not think catchment there very few people at george h.w. bush did not really call friends. and ross perot would be one. he did not remember most people were his enemies, or his enemies. i'll tell you one story i remember right after the top vote we just barely won in the senate and the president invited senators to come down and watch a movie at the white house. people are in line, coming into the white house the president is greeting everyone as they commit to see the movie. he just really against on the bill for the senate pretty looks and says really? think of th

when newt gingrich became the speaker of the house way back when in 1995 he pursued a major transformation of power away from the committees into leadership. the staff associated with leadership, essentially was cut nearly in half and i think if you have more professional staff on committees you might have more policy continuity, more of a commitment to the committee's jurisdiction. another possible reform that at the margins might be helpful, i don't think any of these are solutions in a permanent way the things that might be marginally helpful, maybe allow committee chairs to serve multiple terms, serve longer terms. there are restrictions how long committee chairs conserve in the senate and if you have more of a stakeholder through the committee chair that might get congress more engaged, the committee chair would have more incentive as an expert so given his for her reputation, more of a commitment to work with the minority to get the committee to accomplish something. don't know if those reforms will accomplish much but they were considering at least. >> want to speak in defense? >> s
