they're really unsettled by what has happened in washington in addition to the fact that washington was focused on issues that weren't important to them for so long. but nobody has really tested these voters with the kind of nominees of the republican party, the angry base has turned to. we've not seen where the independents are going to weigh in. and if -- can the tea party candidates, and i think some of them can, some of them may not, but can they convince the independent voters that they should have confidence in them, that they can restore some confidence? gwen: that's the battle lisa muck kowske is -- lisa murkowski is trying to figure out in a written ballot. that people aren't buying into the tea party. >> it worked for joe lieberman a couple years ago. gwen: it wasn't a write-in. >> here's whether we know pragmatism is dead. it's certainly dead for the fall. but if we get after the election, let's say republicans win the house and president obama says i've got to work with speaker john boehner, is john boehner going to be so concerned with the tea party conservatives in his cau

gwen: we do nothing better in washington than send messages. sometimes they get received and sometimes not. but try as you might, the president can't spend every waking moment on the economy. especially when world leaders like mahmoud ahmadinejad are in new york stirring up trouble. or when there's a chance to make another pitch for the middle east peace process. but what a difference a year makes since the last time the president visited the u.n. general assembly. what's the same and what's changed, tom? >> well, what's changed for one thing is the fact that president obama is now much weaker than he was a year ago. when he went to the united nations last year, there were cheers. there were applause. delegates were taking pictures of him. his main message is we're going to re-engage with the united nations. it was an end to the so-called go it alone years of the bush administration. so he was really given a very warm welcome. and now he has been criticized over the last year as you know for having been naive perhaps in his faith in engagement.

our problem is that washington spends too much. in the pledge to america, we call for cutting discretionary spending to prestimulus, pre-bailout levels. cutting the amount of funding allocated to congress, freezing all pay on nonsecurity federal employees, ending federal control of freddie mac and fannie mae. understanding t.a.r.p. that would save $1 trillion in ten years alone. reducing the discretionary spending back to those 2008 levels, that would be, that would save $100 billion this year. we can get there through fiscal discipline and reform. >> that doesn't tackle the deficit completely. congressman van hollen, the question for you and democrats, can you allow tax hikes as we move forward to be serious about cutting the deficit? >> i'm sorry, david, what was the question? i couldn't hear you. >> can you rule out tax increases, not just for the wealthiest americans, but for the middle class if we're going to get serious about dealing with the deficit? >> well, yeah, we think it would be a big mistake to raise taxes on 98% of
