the bric other bric states are still doing a lot of foreign investment in the united states it's a safe place for other countries to invest and in terms of our legal and our educational system. it's the it favors the sort of innovation that is necessary if the world is going to get out of the crisis that it's in right now in terms of the environment so certainly the united states is facing some very serious problems but these are global issues and i think the conversation needs to look needs to address the global milieu as well as just the u.s. right now so i would say that right now the u.s. is not on the verge of becoming a third world power i think the globe the globally overall things are not looking good but the only hope really that the world has right now is in the u.s. and that means immigration of people from other countries and solving the problems that are facing us all globally scientifically. george it seems like a lot of the recent problems the world faces comes from the united states the financial crisis for example where yes the deregulated casino style capitalism was an

i actually think it is something the united states should consider. right now america's influence in north korea and our ability to engage is very minimal. one of the reasons for that is because we have no legitimate channels to contact them. i am not saying that if we sign this peace treaty that north korea is going to change or we are going to be able to transform it overnight, but it is something that might estimate a little bit of a dent in their behavior. it might be something that would enable the united states did get a little bit more information about north korea, to know more about it and to be able to work with it just a little but more constructively. host: if you are interested in learning more about the korean war as for special events are concerned, a special event is scheduled to take place -- you see live pictures of it now. we will show you live the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the armistice. president obama inspect -- is set to speak as well as secretary chuck hagel. that'll take place at 10:00 right after this show on o

and the united states.

states will the united states and china have a kind of transition such as we saw in the past when great britain ceased to be the dominant power and there was an allegiance of power from great britain to the united states will we see something like what happened when holland was the great power but how holland shared power within lenin later england will the united states will the coincidence of economic interests lead to a kind of u.s. chinese alliance that would then dominate the world and if so would the world's people be able to challenge such great powers and how would they do that ok and challenge would likely do you think that is the. stream li unlikely that would be a scenario. i think first of all i think america still the dominant military power you know world even china i think become superpower i agree that the clash between the resin new power and the existing power will be intensified history have told us that. there's always happen more likely it's going to happen again and the most recent example is the us and civic duty in war and the world and up in the more dangerous p

the united states has to base the analysis of where it stands in the world and in the united states on the more difficult relationships but ultimately much more productive relationships with of the world's coming powers and obviously china is prime among them. it is completely dismissive. that doesn't mean that on occasions we want people to do useful business together kid that doesn't mean that on occasions it will be very useful still for an american president to come to london to see the queen and have pictures across the united states. but when you think of who americans are in future generations, where they come from, what they believe in, the idea that they have the same kind of british people being part of them is mad. that just isn't going to be the future america. and the classic example of that. i went to see a very senior person in the obama white house when i was going to say goodbye leaving in 2009 and we had a little discussion and i said to this person why was it that one of the first things the obama white house did that cause a lot of up set was get the best of winston

states and to pay taxes in the united states and i wonder if it's morally and economically defensible argument these days in the era of globalization that you should hire people and create those jobs in the united states rather than in china even though you know many of your products are money factored in china many of your products are consumed in china but you know many countries still insist that you know there should be policies in place to protect their own national interests for global sake. that's a totally old fashioned view of the world again that doesn't work like that you create jobs in china because they're more competitive in terms of the part that they're producing there you create more jobs in the united states or in europe because they're mostly are being the technology the knowledge part but also more and more in countries like india like china like mexico brazil you are outing not only labor but also technology because you have a more educated youth and therefore they can old to compete in the knowledge based assets in the lawless space the capital but what is now ob

very quickly you know the problem is that the united states government. the obama administration. really from the beginning was very clear that they were supporting what the egyptian military was doing they've been shucking and jiving ever since the beginning of this crisis and that's a good conservative i would think that that steve would would be saying yes it's time for this administration to follow the law rather than to hide behind this falshood. that this was somehow something other than a coup d'etat i mean that's simply not an acceptable way for the united states to proceed. and it's really time for conservatives to get on board with the rule of law in this country rather than to support a democratic administration that is really not being honest with the american people named you want to jump in and respond to what we have heard here go ahead. when the united states could not overlook what has been taking place in egypt over the past ten eleven days since the june thirtieth there were on drone thirty s. in egypt some certainties three million peo

states cannot by the way it's mostly domestic american politics is the reason why the united states is unable to place any pressure on israel and i think until we solve that problem here within the united states the u.s. cannot mediate these negotiating i think we were ignoring a reality over the last ten years you have russia you have the e.u. you also have china you also have the arab states there are also involved in what's taking place i don't think the united states would have been able to get to both parties to come to washington this tuesday without the support of the arab league so other parties are involved the united states. it's not alone although they'll be sitting around the table with three representatives from the hell with anyone else from the israelis but i mean this is they're saying you agree that abbas is just a paid employee of the united states essentially i mean. what kind of hardy's are these you know the palestinian authority i mean they've they're basically at the mercy of the united states and in funding omar i mean is this all these legitimate others go a

states but it's profound obama says the united states government says the senators say the media say snowden should come home and stand trial well in some ways if he could get a fair trial if he could be out on bail the way say daniel ellsberg was thirty years ago when he took the pentagon papers if he could be out on bail snowden while he's preparing his trial and he could tell a story and he could build a legal team and he could have an open court case with all the rights the defendants have that means that he could subpoena all sorts of officials of the united states government involved with this surveillance right up to the vice president in the present the united states i cannot imagine that the obama administration or any u.s. administration would permit that therefore i doubt very seriously that obama is sincere when he says obama snowden should come home and stand trial but i would guess that of snowden were given those guarantees of being out of prison on bail and free to have an open trial he might come home but he's not. to get those guarantees i would guess because we liv

states gave to filipinos to come to the united states historically including a special program. all those were a signal saying is okay to come. we recognize we're bound together. come to the united states the origin is not poor mexicans wanted a better life. it was u.s. business interest meeting to replace eastern europeans. first japanese workers in an eastern european workers in the early 20th-century, so they went to mexico and asked for mexican workers. mexican workers started coming to the united states to work, and particularly in our railroad construction. so all of these historical ties have a lot to do with it as well . another important messages the fact that there's never been any hostility to immigration in the ad states. it always been a country of immigrants. we have always valued people coming from overseas to contribute to society. there has always been hostility toward immigration. of course it has always taking place exactly in the same way. it is not always been as intense, but historically it has always been the case that there was significant hostility to im

also, the lack of regulation in --ina and the united states. relative to the united states. i'm thinking of things related to pollution and the environment. things on those lines. it seems to me, at this point, the argument of cheaper goods coming back to the united states and keeping a lid on inflation has worn thin. there is little income being generated in the united states. it seems to me that we are at the point where, in spite of the low prices that have been made by, relatively speaking, slave labor, relative to the united states that we are putting ourselves in a position where we cannot buy it. guest: i think that was an interesting question. there are a lot of interesting sub-questions. that is one of the reasons you seen the currency question that greta mentioned. the chinese currency increases and u.s. goods become more and, in third markets. we seeing some cases, over the last couple of years, where manufacturing is returned to the united states in in some ways. there are advantages, cheaper labor cost being among them. if you are exporting to the united states,

they are in power in the united states house. they have been making incredible amount of supreme court decisions. the food stamps is just ridiculous. it is harming people that need it the most. the ridiculous comments i have been hearing to not add up. they try to use the exception. -- a look at work requirements should not be considered? is that your opinion? i really do not think work requirement should be a part of it for food stamps. some of these folks cannot work. attemptmerely another and disguise to take away benefits from people that cannot survive on their own. they need some assistance. pushing it out to the state, many of these people know darn statesat many of these have a gop dominated state government. that is a guys. up is david from dayton, ohio. to call for the gentleman in kansas, and i was just listening to this last call as well, the $.50 on the dollar sale of food stamps is pretty much universal. i have seen it here in dayton many a time. as to work requirements, i believe it was our last caller who was sayi

that you know what warrants but if you're not a united states citizen the rights that united states citizens have don't apply to you that's the loophole basically a citizen of europe a member of the european parliament can be treated in exactly the same way as a north korean body rageous t.j. i add in their definition of bad behavior a just and illegal ok definition of adversary i think this is what jim is getting at. who's the adversary or something can be outrageous and not necessarily be illegal so that's why i do have i do what's right it's not illegal for the canadian to be holding snowed in calling snowden a whistleblower what he years or somebody who was working for the government took a vow of secrecy then saw a policy he didn't like and decided to reveal it to the world that. we do know is what he did was illegal and i don't think whether you work for the government in brussels or great britain or anywhere else you want every single individual who works for the government making their own public policy on what they like and don't like going to they don't like it they will reveal it

states as a backdoor means inside the united states. these targeting procedures must be reviewed by the court to ensure they are consistent with the statute and the fourth amendment. the targeting procedures are a way of minimizing the impact of this collection, as to american and non-american by limiting the collection to the intended purpose. the concept of minimization procedures should be familiar by this point, the procedures that limit retention and dissemination about u.s. persons. in the course of 702 collection we may acquire the communications of americans even though we are not targeting them. if we talk to non-u.s. persons outside the united states who are targeted for foreign intelligence collection some of these communications may be pertinent and some may not be. the incidental collection of non pertinent communications is the not unique to section 702. it is common whenever you collect information by criminal wiretaps or the target conversation's with his friends and family may be intercepted or we see terrorist's comput

the united states government now has a reason to be fearful because the united states are using its ways its economic ways and so minced instance and its military ways you know there is to intimidate those countries i think they sold out with ecuador trepanning to take their trade preferences from them if they were to give him asylum and other countries are afraid to give him any soil and no i don't think that's good but does is the only explanation as to why it is happening now given what you just sad the associated rats with. how being mr snowden why do you thing may actually happen to him because he has already explored his options both russia and china some of the european countries like arlen and other. more neutral european countries also turned him down. what do you think may happen to him after all i mean do you think he will be ultimately forced to surrender to the authorities i really hope no one speech an incredibly only margin of the situation to be in the moments when he can really trust nobody he doesn't know on has no assistance from any corner of the world's only to see h

the world engender more hatred towards the united states government if not the united states people then anything else that takes place and i think what we need to really be talking about is that and not sort of these sort of well if they come get us how do we go get them out you know eye for an eye tooth for a tooth the real question is how do we create sort of a system in this world that's based on humanity based on you know sort of mutual aid if you will support and not one based on through these reciprocal acts of vile . which is what i think these hypotheticals when they're pows in the us media and pows like shows like twenty four you know would you kill a baby if you knew there was going to be a terrorist attack the next week or something like you know it never happens that way but you know people pose these questions and sort of put us in a sense of fear and make us answer in a way that i think is always the most warlike. and let's talk about foreign policy in general right now we're hearing a lot of strong rhetoric coming from the political media establishment about iran syr

and in the united states. there is good reason for that. they have the expertise in the financial markets that gives them comparative advantage of some of the issues. there is the fact the central bank is the lender of last resort with the supervision with the individual firms but generally there is innovation that there is much more attention being paid to the broader financial system as opposed to the individual institutions along. -- alone. but we think about the stability as a whole but to have that decision to seek about how that stability relates to the other functions as mentioned as a lender of last resort and monetary policy. there is a good case, there are arrangements that can be worked out in the united states the fed has authority over bank holding companies that we have a good insight into the system make firms but in both banking and financial markets with a range of other agencies and of course, we were collaboratively with those agencies developing the comparative a vintage that it is assigned. >> number of years ago he ref

narrator: over 300 million people live in the united states. and each person uses an average of 100 gallons of water every day. man: what it takes to actually make clean water is somewhat a mystery to most customers. woman: so how does water get from the river into your house, or here at school? woman: somebody has to bring that water to us, and somebody has to take it away when we're finished with it. man: the water infrastructure is vital for disease protection, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development, and for our quality of life. man: you just can't visualize all the assets that are under our feet. we have about two million miles of pipe in this nation. if you're walking around in an urban area, you're probably stepping on a pipe. man: our grandparents paid for, and put in for the first time, these large distribution systems. woman: and in many cases, it's not been touched since. man: we're at a critical turning point. much of that infrastructure is wearing out. narrator: our water infrastructure is made up of complex, underg

the united states government can throw hay vs corpus out the window under a war footing the united states government can illegally torture people under a war footing the fourth amendment rights of millions and millions and millions of americans can be a vis aerated by an n.s.a. that wants to collect all of our method data and. in the interest of fairness in the interest of fairness i want to go to give max a last forty seconds in the program go ahead max. well i have actually seen the statistics on the efficacy of various counterterrorism responses in particular the difference between police responses versus military responses police responses as you've correctly implied are indeed correlated with a higher level of counterterrorism success than military responses are that is to say military responses are more likely to fail in the realm of counterterrorism than our police responded very accurately point max i'm sorry he didn't get it if you get your point thank you gentlemen we've run out of time many thanks to my guest today in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for wat

states but now i think it will be extremely difficult for the united states not to extract some russian criminals from its territory to russia because what do we expect. from our russia if you're gone after by extradite the russian criminals from the united states tomorrow we've heard the term for friends of fortune i think these are very legitimate demands that we're going to house mate you know the same demands were made for example for khomeini when he lived in france that he should not get involved in political activity and he should not damage the interests of his home country. in the wilds of port and you should not damage i quote the interests of our american partners so it's not an egregious you will be doomed. to a certain period of dull life in russia but probably it will be better for your security. so as a whistleblower edward snowden has reportedly promised to stop releasing leads that harm washington in return for asylum in russia that was the condition that from to form a cia contract and so he was drawing his previous application for refuge in russia he says in human rig

on behalf of the united states. he was about to abandon it without now. but so is his opposition group that the other groups are supporting. we need to stop this and we are doing in the middle east. i certainly did, but when "the new york times" ran was to the kids killed in newtown, connecticut shooting, ecb ages, digital, seven years old -- it just crashes you. journalist we talked about those whose lives and the three kids with hiding in the closet. i'm sure all of us are members some story from us and if you don't know his name, i guarantee you have seen his face and he was carrying the double amputee cross around his leg to stop the bleeding. it went viral on facebook for he was killed that day and there is a graduate student that was killed and another from china and there was a blog post that went viral it was a woman who had died for american consumers i think there are lessons to be drawn from that we needed the story of what happened and it is before their parents were taken away. it is harder to dehumaniz

states will the united states and china have a kind of transition such as we saw in the past when great britain ceased to be the dominant power and there was an illusion of power from great britain to the united states will we see something like what happened when holland was the great power but how holland shared power within lenin later england will the united states will the coincidence of economic interests lead to a kind of u.s. chinese alliance that would then dominate the world and if so would the world's people be able to challenge such great powers and how would they do that ok and chalo how likely do you think that is the use of stream li unlikely that would be a scenario. i think first of all i think america still the dominant military power you know world even china i think become superpower i agree that the clash between the resin new power and the existing power will be intensified history have told us that. there's always happen more likely it's going to happen again and the most recent example is the u.s. and civic duty in cold war and the world and up in the more danger

it has been equally an honor to serve as an assistant united states -- united states attorney. i love public service. fulfill theing to highest ideals of public service. i love being an officer of the court. i love being a guardian of the law. i love the privilege and honor of always doing the right thing. , i love my my family two brothers, and they are here, and i love the family they are representing air. . adored my parents my parents were individuals of unflinching integrity and ethics and honor. executed my public service responsibilities in a way of which they would be proud. if i have the privilege of being confirmed as the deputy secretary of homeland security, i will continue to do so. thank you. >> thank you for those words. when we met earlier this week, we talked a little bit about your parents. you said these words, and i will paraphrase. this is what you said. "should i live my life to honor my parents? guess is theymy are very proud of their three sons. it was thomas jefferson who used to say, it will know the truth, they will not make a mistake. the purpose for

we're awaiting the attorney general of the united states, eric holder. he's getting ready to speak at the washington convention center. it's the 100th anniversary of a major sorority of the united states, the delta sigma theta sorority. founded 100 years ago at howard university. a lot of sorority sisters are here in washington and they are anxious to hear what the attorney general has to say. f!] [clicks mouse] there's doughnuts in the conference room. there's doughnuts in the conference room. automatic discounts the moment you sign up. i don't know. how did you get here?

states did was in fact legal within the united states this loophole is go ahead jim go ahead but what this loophole is the united states constitution guarantees privacy in the fourth amendment for its own citizens you can't just simply go in and rifle through people's papers seize goods and so on without you know what i warrant but if you're not a united states citizen the rights that united states citizens don't apply to you that's the loophole basically a citizen of europe a member of the european parliament can be treated in exactly the same way as a north korean body rageous. ad adversary and their definition of that big legal definition of adversary i think this is what jim is getting at. who's the adversary or something can be outrageous and not necessarily be illegal so that's why i do have i do that's right i just wanted to pick up with a good idea of the holding snowed in calling snowden a whistleblower what he years or somebody who was working for the government took a vow of secrecy then saw a policy he didn't like and decided to reveal it to the world that. we do know is w

states if you're living below the poverty line in the united states you have two cars you have a cell phone you have a microwave and you've got a flat screen television so if you want to talk about people who are living below consumption in a way to live here in the united states take a look at take a look at look at countries all across the world people who are living below the minimum wage law in the those lives there they don't have the same things that be they have in america it's because of the free market system and capitalism. that people who are poor in the united states are able to afford the necessities that they need to live a better life we're better off than they were we were one hundred years ago who in the world want to go back a hundred years ago when people were when they had didn't have cars were they were not going out how this is because there's a guy who's going to want to better off than we already said you can afford all these that ok eric go ahead. who would want to know nine hundred seventy the same day but we're not better off than another nine hundred sevent

states is leading from behind but you know it seems to me that the united states is still trying to micromanage the entire region from country to country looking for its clients its new clients and maybe in a new neo colonial environment how do you react to that. i think it's there's a certain degree of while they are absolutely you know let's just think about what precipitated for example a lot of the problems a syria we have been locking down syria through accountability acts through all sorts of legislation to shut down and limit diplomacy between the united states and syria a lot of the people in the israel lobby here in the united states wanted to extend that to saudi arabia they wanted obviously the syrians out of lebanon for reasons having a lot to do with israel and not much to do with the united states so i would go beyond that and say the fact that the u.s. has really defined a lot of its interests in terms of the american israel public affairs committee and a lot of these groups that are so active on capitol hill want as opposed to maximizing u.s. trade ties or trying to

am i correct in that right now is the turn of united states? >> we have the president have the presidency of the sacred council in the month of july which happens once every 15 months. >> right now that presidency and the person is sitting there isn't at being position. >> a wonderful -- rosemary decarlo. >> i am sure she would like to have the united states ambassador sitting in that chair. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you again for being willing to serve. i enjoy their meeting and our discussion about what a liberal interventionist is and certainly filled with like two talk about the responsibility to protect. first of all following up on the security council discussion that just was had, do you believe that for us to take unilateral military action that we need a u.n. security council approval to do so? >> sir, i believe the president always should act in the interest of the american people when the u.s. national security is threatened in the security council is unwilling to authorize the use of force. the president believes it is jud

> mort, the united states isn't going to restrict the national agency. i don't think it is right to leak things because we have a congress of the united states. we have rules and regulations. but i do respect the fact that they face the music. they go out, they stayed right in the country and said what the government is doing is wrong and they took it. snowden who runs off, he is getting what he deserves. i hope he stays in that airport. >> excuse me, and reading about these three gentleman, they did have a vested interest here in a sense that they had developed a program within the nsa, at least two of them had. they believe could have averted the 9/11 attacks. the head of the agency, tom haden, at the time ignored it and came up with another, much more extensive program. and so they had, they were really angry that they thought their work was being ignored. they went to congress. they did all the right things, but they are enjoying their freedom now. i think they have a consulting company. >> i think you have it wrong. >> at least one of those three. a

come to the united states. mexican migration, the origin of mexican migration to the united states is not poor mexicans wanting a better life. it was u.s. business interest needing to replace eastern europeans, bursts of japanese workers and an eastern european workers in the early 20th-century. so they went to mexico and the mexican workers. they started coming to the united states to work, particularly in railroad construction. so all these historical ties have a lot to do with it as well . another important myth is the fact that there has never been any hostility to immigration in the united states. we have always been a country of immigrants. we have always welcomed immigrants. we have always valued people coming from overseas to contribute to this society. again, that's not true. there has always been hostility toward immigration. of course it has not always taken place exactly in the same way. it does not always been as intense, but historically it has always been the case that there was significant hosti

to home canada does very well much better than the united states in this regard so you could go too far in one direction or the other but just because the united states is probably gone too far does that mean there is it a happy middle end to be the emergency capitalism in brazil and and turkey. and really it's a political question whether they have a political system that can have fairness for everyone that is still a good sign i still think that the people of turkey are better off than they were before they have to worry about the creeping authoritarianism part of one but again it's a political question not an economic one richard you separate the political and economic i would i would disagree go ahead i would really disagree if i could because i'm not at all a pessimist i'm an optimist and i'm i'm looking at the future of the world as a conflict finally addressing what should have been the issue all along which is why in the world are we allowing the shape of economies in the old part of capitalist success and the new part of where capitalism is going why are we allowing multina

you is that in during the occupation of iraq by the united states united states media similar allegations against to sell a piece to the rebels down in iraq but limited use of chemical weapons the same allegations made by the syrian government and by others against these rebels in syria and most of them are the same guy and the same people who used to fight in iraq are now fighting in syria so it's possible very plausible that what the syrian government says is quite right to talk about this particular case again why haven't then that been any reaction from the u.s. or u.n. yet. well i guess to doesn't fit to their picture because they're trying to use these chemical claims blase about chemical weapons use against syria in order to finance your syrian government and do. so the way to get most of all to end and prepare the public in the west in europe and the united states especially to start giving. him public weapons and other material that lead material to these radicals that that's the main reason why suddenly these claims were made and now the. disclosures about the rebels using chemi

perez represents the united states. he represents the american people. now this mr. noel the whistleblower is bringing a case on behalf of the united states, and indirectly the people. mr. perez is talking to the lawyers on the other side and he tells the people in essence after the united states declines to join the case, we will give you information to help you defeat mr. noel who is bringing the case on behalf of the united states. let me say that a different way. in effect mr. perez is offering to give the other side information to help defeat his own client. is that the way you represent the american people? and you are working for the american people. mr. perez was asked about this under oath. mr. perez told congressional investigators quote no, i don't recall ever suggesting that an quote. so i'm the one hand we have mr. magner -- lillihad who says mr. perez made this offer but the assistance disappeared after the lawyers in the civil division caught wind of it. on the other hand it was mr. perez who testified un

states cannot by the way it's mostly domestic american politics is the reason why the united states is unable to place any pressure on israel and i think until we solve that problem here within the united states the u.s. cannot mediate these negotiating i think we were ignoring a reality over the last ten years you have russia you have the e.u. you also have china you also have the arab states there are also involved in what's taking place i don't think the united states would have been able to get the both parties to come to washington this tuesday without the support of the arab league so other parties are involved the united states. it's not alone although they'll be sitting around the table with three representatives from the hell with anyone else from the israelis but i mean. so you agree that abbas is just a paid employee of the united states essentially i mean. what kind of hardy's are these you know the palestinian authority i mean they've they're basically at the mercy of the united states and in funding omar i mean is this all these really jimmy carter years go ahead omar

of black politics in the united states today. about that supreme court decision in his opinion, for the court, the chief justice, justice roberts, said something that i do not think could have been said 50 years ago. would not have been said 50 years ago by a member of the u.s. supreme court. there's a moment in the opinion in which he frankly admits that racial discrimination in american life, particularly here in voting, exists. and goes on to say no one denies that. right? and yet by the end of the opinion, what he has given us is a legal judgment, a reading of the constitution, which effectively says, racial discrimination exists, no one denies it, and we don't care. right? so, we're living in a peculiar moment in which, at one in the same time, we can admit the existence of racial discrimination, indeed of racial strat fix indication and subordination, on the other declare without skipping a beat thatthat is something about which we are justified as a nation. so there's a political culture of indifference to questions of rac

more than anything else ok it's fortunate that the united states had money to spend on a program like that but i don't think it's doing it to win favor around the world ok clearance or jump in the troops to go to clients go ahead. yeah i think yeah it seems to me that the pick up some continuity from what richard two great degree this is the continuation of the bush policies and the clinton policies and i would underscore that to say that this trip is not a game changer and so in that sense there's more symbolism i think going where all of this trip substance now i think it's important to note that the obama administration has also had some constraints in terms of what he could do over the last few years when obama came into office and we had to deal with two wars he had to deal with a financial and economic collapse and so those put constraints not only on obama's relationship with africa but with latin america other parts of the world now given that though it doesn't excuse what is essentially been four years of mostly neglect of what's been going on in africa and part of it has bee

i think what united states senators want to know is what is the endgame here? he is highlighting the finding that the government believes he is more resilient than he originally thought. there are components of the policy in syria that i supports, particularly this. you are going to see this in light of the quite sobering statement made last week on the resiliency of mr. assad that it will factor in prominently. >> as you know, the dempsey letter did not bring up the option of aiding the syrian rebels with arms. do you support giving arms to the rebellion? >> i could see a role for assistance to the rebels. there are a host of questions. who exactly are they? how does it fit into a plan? when you do that, the logical next question is what will be the future step? i put this in the context of those kinds of consideration. >> i guess this prompted some tough decisions. the senate finance committee told them if they had ideas on reform they could submit them in the ideas would be locked away until 2064. did you submit any? what do you make of this idea of keeping

used to say that just because united states has a large check that's why it's getting involved trying to buy loyalty i think there is a genuine humanitarian driving force behind a big project like the president's emergency plan for aids relief that was driven by a humanitarian agenda more than anything else ok it's fortunate that united states had money to spend on a program like that but i don't think it's doing it to win favor around the world ok clearance or jump in troops to another go to clarence go ahead. yeah i think yeah it seems to me that the pick up some continuity from what richard two great degree this is the continuation of the bush policies and the clinton policies and i would underscore that to say that this trip is not a game changer and so in that sense there's more symbolism i think going on all of this trip substance now i think it's important to note that the obama administration has also had some constraints in terms of what he could do over the last few years when obama came into office and we had to deal with two wars he had to deal with a financial and economi

clearly. >> have a hope that the united states will get him back. i don't think the chances of our getting him back are down near zero. i actually think there's reasonable chance we will get him back. but i wouldn't put the odds at better than even right now. >> rose: so 50-50 we'll get him, the u.s. will get him? >> approaching 50-50, sure. >> rose: do you believe, finally, as some people who know him have said, you know, that if in fact he ends up in american custody and he ends up in a bad place, that he has left of the capacity to have information divulged that will deal serious damage-- much more than has happened so far-- to american national security interest? does he have access to that kind of stuff that he has not yet released? >> i have no reason to disbelief his claim, charlie, is the best way i would put it. i would also point out, in addition to betraying classified information, he's now putting up the threat of blook mail to his list of crimes -- >> exactly. >> that he's willing to commit. >> rose: charlie hayden, thank you. >> thanks

which hit the united states in 9/11. they connecticut patrol what goes on in our borders that is a great worry. some somalia. and yemen. pakistan this. a state. in control of the government. those are the worries so and starting to deal with them. the strategy of use of drones. special forces training local forces and indigenous forcees to help us. that is what we are hoping that strategy will slow it down there. is always a feeling however that the terrorists will get through. it happened in the boston marathon bombings. some got through. being make organized. but ideology of the feeling of victimization of a radical idol gement and empowering them has a hold on a certain number of people. that will be almost impossible to stop. with he can do a better job of uncovering it. and to be more aware of it. but the state less terrorist groups are a important factor and will be for the foreseeable future. dr. henriksen what percentage of attention is focused on the rogues? >> a great deal. actually been. it is. it will go. we

they look to the united states. the other thing about china is that if there's a trade imbalance relative to agriculture, it's in our favor. we sell them more than they sell to us. why? because of some of the things mentioned today. i look at this transaction, and i think, well, could they move production to china? well, they've got a water problem, a very serious water problem. if they can't get water, they can't very well raise corn, and so i just think the problems of moving production are too great for china to overcome over the long term, so i don't see much hostility there. could they move processing to china? well, they certainly have a labor force, but the product is here, and if they can't raise the product in china, it makes more sense to come here, find the product, find the country where it can be grown. that's here in the united states. i think here's the problem that we're struggling with, and the reality is, just to be very candid, there isn't really a legal mechanism in place that really reviews this

backed ammo see they've been backed haven't made them what they particularly want to united states to make a statement in terms of what is happening now they feel that very much washington is remaining on the fanes and obviously you want these morsi supporters to say to have washington call it a military coup on the other hand one thing to say that it's not so this might be play just of support there's also a lot of anger and that the united states and had seven countries are not actually making any kind of statements and remaining on the fence. those are here because it's fun and. the nature of our team middle east bureau chief polish later thank you both. moving on to capitol hill pressure continues to build on republicans in the house of representatives to take up immigration reform to boost the chances of passage those most affected by reform our undocumented immigrants in particular those young people we call dreamers are taking to the streets to make sure that their interests are represented they may not have as much a lobbying cash as the border security and private prison indu

the united states has to content with dozens of small and med why sized problems. new tensions in asia including rising competition between china and japan. instability in egypt, civil war in syria, and an inn iran apparently seeking nuclear weapons. then there's continuing turbulence in the eurozone. climate change, terrorism, and cybersecurity. and all of this at a time when the united states faces considerable challenges here at home. from inadequate immigration policy and failing schools to crumbling infrastructure and an underperforming economy. so the big question is this: how do we as a country navigate this world? what is to be our compass? big questions, and joining me tonight to discuss all of this are two of the freshest voices in international relations that i know. michael fullilove has come from halfway around the world to be with us tonight. michael is the executive director of the lowe institute for international policy in sydney, australia, also the author of a new book, rendezvous with destiny, how franklin d roosevelt and five extraordinary men t
