states is for islamic extremists and so i think the united states citizens have gotten what they've paid for when they because we've been able to floyd all and prevent numerous attacks on the continental united states and in europe with some of our allies because we're spending so much more money on intelligence and because we're able to have a more capable intelligence service going after threats to our country well you just mentioned nine eleven and that was of course twelve years ago but if we consider the. funding that the cia has requested of the intelligence community rather has requested for the fiscal year of two thousand and thirteen. it is still pretty high over fifty two billion dollars and it is expected to stay at that level at least until two thousand and seventeen and just to our viewers to make it clear it is pretty much the same or similar to what the united states was spending on their own intelligence at the height all of the cold war and. i'm sure you know that these and zorbas and spending on the part of the soviet union was one of the main reasons for its own c

the united states on the ground. and you could help shape the battle field in the way that brought people to the table. and i think there was a mistake in this because we did want do that. we dilly-dallied for a long time. the program we talk about now isn't robust enough to have an impact. so tell me who goes into the talks and has the credibility to get everybody at the table. the russians have asad but we cannot bring the rebels to the table. we have no skin in the game. you have our allies who are upset with the united states and that might be an understatement. who do we negotiate. if is just the united states and russia there is no deal. you have to bring the rebels to the table and ashad to the table and i don't see that formula lining up for geneva talks. >> you have leadership of the intelligence community, why did they and other analyst misjudge the power? we know the president was getting the analysis that his days were numbered as people said. and in august 2011, president obama said he must step aside. w

is the united states' privilege and it was done the public has to realize you can't just buy. your own just throw it away. for instance belongs to the united states environmental protection agency i found this on a dump site here this year it's not always good enough producers of these little i think should be able to collect these i believe the vision responsible for their products from cradle to grave. fatal from mexico comment of mental health property will sell to murder and corporate are all but also belongs to the washington metro area transit authority properties of a dentist aids pay trend and trademark office. some of the sixteen. points came from. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. on the territorial waters they fish they load the fish into the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths. good laboratory to mccurry was able to build most sophisticated robots which all unfortunatel

program when you know the united states is producing every kind of weapon under the sun is spending more than every other military on the planet combined and it's involved in more war and more death and more suffering than every other nation combined and yet it's sitting there on a pedestal talking about other nations developing weapons of mass destruction it is insane that we even allow them to do this the first nation that needs to disarm without question is the united states and the first nation to be charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity is my birth nation of the united states once we start seeing actions like this that will know that people in positions of power serious because ultimately the rest of the world is sick and tired of the impunity and the continuous threats of a third world war so we've reached a point now where human beings around the planet are realizing we can't do this we can't have a third world war this is not a game but that you haven't answered my question do you think iran should be able to develop its nuclear program i think that every natio

states now safety united states doesn't change its policies toward cuba and these countries are just not going to go along with the united states has put it's symptomatic as part of a broader international lessening of u.s. influence we see what's happening in the middle east can really influence the situations are war making we've got this powerful military the most powerful military in the history of humanity and it doesn't work since world war two you look at korea you look at vietnam you look at afghanistan you look at iraq i mean we we can we can invade grenada and we can defeat a couple dozen cuban construction workers and reagan could go on television saying it's morning. and in america the united states is back and standing proud but this military solutions don't work to any of these problems even in libya situation there is falling apart we need some we need to rethink how we approach the world as most enjoying it really truly join in not as a dominant partner but as a co-equal partner and that would really take an active enormous mental your military and i don't know if pre

sure so basically you're saying that the united states has a corner we're going to be easy syria you know there's a whole hundred thousand and when you look at history and you saw what happened in afghanistan and then you saw what happened in libya just a few years ago the chaos that reigns in libya now we're warlords and mercenaries are running rampant i think that sitting down with assad is a reasonable strategy especially since he can say on the one we don't want the tower he wanted states to stop her from going to take this no i mean i think this is that what started as a con of the one hundred say that you want the united states to stop funding big taters and have been bringing democracy or at least promote democracy on here on the hunts a notch and it's by the united states is getting rid of dictators in libya and syria because those people bring stability to the country i mean that's a double standard ok that's why the united states supports the dictatorship in saudi arabia i think russia all right surely if you're only there run out of time shouldn't be i really appreciate yo

states is not for export but you also sap that united states and the west will collapse in the same way rogue is from uncontrolled multiculturalism do you not believe in the positive effects of globalization. we're listening to there's no doubt that globalization has some tremendously positive. aspects to it and consequences from it i think that the fact that the chinese people for example. where i visited china with richard nixon it is opening to china i was part of that delegation. it was a deeply repressed country poverty was pandemic it was a dreary as dreary a places i've ever seen and i think globalization is in large part responsible for the enormous build up of china the fact that there's widespread wealth in china there's enormous production it is growing it ten percent twelve percent eight percent a year for twenty twenty five years that's a good thing my concern about globalization is the american economy america was the most productive nation in the world a tremendous manufacturing power when i ran for president in one thousand nine hundred two i said if we go into these

the united states to be neutral and then because of these treaty commitments the united states may find itself having to do something that it really doesn't want to do go ahead john. as you point out the united states you know professes to be neutral it is kind of secured its position in the asia pacific region as a so-called honest broker and so it has tried to do this at the same time of course it has allies so it's very difficult for the united states to actually be an honest broker when it supplies south korea with tremendous amount of military so. court as i said surpass supported japan for some time provides taiwan with a great deal of military support so the honest broker position is actually rather difficult and yet at the same time we have seen china and japan as well as china and some of the countries bordering the south china sea come to some agreements for instance over oil and gas exploration under sea and these agreements i think could be the kind of core of some agreement in the future one of those agreements was just back in two thousand and eight around that. and we've

the united states to be neutral and then because of these treaty commitments the united states may find itself having to do something that it really doesn't want to do go ahead john. as you point out the united states you know professes to be neutral it is kind of secured its position in the asia pacific region as a so-called honest broker and so it has tried to do this at the same time of course it has allies so it's very difficult for the united states to actually be an honest broker when it supplies south korea with tremendous amount of military so. court as i said spasm port in japan for some time provides taiwan with a great deal of military support so the honest broker position is actually rather difficult and yet at the same time we have seen china and japan as well as china and some of the countries bordering the south china sea come to some agreements for instance over oil and gas exploration under sea and these agreements i think could be the kind of core of some agreement in the future one of those agreements was just back in two thousand and eight around that. and we've seen

incidentally united states and the e.u. think there is a historic opportunity to resign. the conflict solved in such a way that the poll students were left with virtually nothing ok so ryan so what kind of agreement is that how could you have an agreement like that with no justice . i honestly don't believe this time so going anywhere and i don't think they're intended to go anywhere is just lip service if you look as mr obama's speech in two thousand and eleven the word he actually mentioned the nine hundred sixty seven borders with some swaps it was intended for the palestinians not to ask for recognition at the united nations and after that mr netanyahu came to the united states and i'm sure your viewers would know that congress has far more powers or is the most powerful branch of the u.s. government he came and here dress the united states congress in fourteen men as he got twenty nine standing ovations in which he categorically refuse to recognize those boundaries and i think it's very important to understand that there's long as there is an alley it that means that

states has adjusted to the fiscal realities that we have in the united states but i think it's been money very well spent i don't think it's been exorbitant whatsoever we are a big country like russia where we have a global intelligence service because we have interests all over the world we have more threats you know i think it's interesting it might be interesting for your viewers you know the way the united states. sees intelligence is different than when we saw it in the cold war while the soviet union and the united states were sort of pitted against each other in a sense it was an easier intelligence mission because russia is a very large or the soviet union was a very large nation state within embassies and armaments in the rest whereas today's threats are stateless international terrorists they are political writers of weapons of mass destruction so the intelligence job is a little bit harder here today in the post cold war era than arguably it might have been in the cold war absolutely mr allen this is a good point but you just mentioned russia and russia is also a target f

this is a critically important region in the united states. and the key factor is central in this policy is china's rise and how the united states will manage china's rise going forward. >> how does china's rise look, camille, when you're standing in manila. is the country looking to tighten itself to the united states because a politically , powerful china makes it feel insecure? >> you can see that the philippines may be insecure, but we are just admitting that our military capabilities are limited, and it's challenged, and so having the united states there as a key ally, one of our oldest allies, really, gives us more confidence. facing china, however, we see--we look at it as david versus goliath. we have elevated the government has elevated the case through the al jazeera america arbitration course through the hague, there is a case there right now on the south china sea dispute. having the united states support this measurement is something that the people really appreciate, the public and the government, that they have a backer some how

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

and he had assistance from the united states. and in so doing, pakistan would not actually get involved in the american military plans or anything and he came to pakistan and said that our army will become your army and he says to him, we can't fight communism without the good guys on our side, and that is why have signed on pakistan. the good guys are not pakistanis and then dulles as if they are not than they are the least muslims. and of course, they were hindus. and so was atypical in nine american politician who didn't know the difference about what he wanted including allies against the soviet union and he was lining up allies in pakistan was willing to be an ally in india wanted to be nonaligned. so that was part of this relationship. but in a few years, eisenhower said that it is a mistake to seek out allies and then that military will never be for which we are arming them. they never gave troops to korea or others and the views were provided to fight communism to fight the indians. and so this was how the mistake was mad

so one of the characteristics of the united states is that here we, the united states does not have price control for drugs, so this creates a lot of problems. and the fact that people because of the baby boom generation and also the increasing longevity, it is also atexting the health care system. -- affecting the health care system. so before obama signed the health care act, there was about 46%, 46 million americans without health insurance. so that has created a lot of pressures in order to cover those people, and so the point of the obamacare would be to reduce those amounts. but this is very complex, and i will get a little bit into that. so one of the other issues that the united states has as a limitation is that there are many unhealthy habits here in terms of food, lack of exercise, and all of those things have an impact. even stress, too, have an imact in the quality of -- impact in the quality of the life of people. what happens is when it comes to 65, many people have to suffer a lo hot of chronic ailments because of those issues. so in this table where as we could see here i

united states has never signed on to that the mine bans united states and signed on to that so when we actually look at these various international agreements we can talk about all sorts of like the covenant of the social economic cultural rights again you know united states never signed on to that you know we actually find that here could be said to be the you will of the international community but we find that the self-appointed spokesman of community haven't actually signed on to these important agreements you want to jump in there . yeah i think a few days ago i was usually follow the news also from not only from the west and also news outlets but from the eastern one and i use the term international community is used in the if you in the iranian. media particularly press t.v. or so it's being used to really i think you can say loosely across the board but again i think. i think the term is without that is a western concept which was you can say a post-war war to legacy. which basically i think there are different here branches and we have to focus on again if you are talking a

not just the united states. what i want to ask you, one of the things that happened while you are away from the foreign ministry, the united states and russia began to work together on a plan to dismantle serious chemical weapons -- syria's chemical weapons. many people believe that that means that russia will have new influence. i want to ask you first, do you think that is happening? second, do you think that is dangerous? and third, could russia be one of those other partners that israel could work with in a way that would enhance israeli security? again, we doeat not have any alternative to the united states. >> i do not mean evolution of your -- >> i think it is crucial for us to understand what we can help to the united states. not only just to use the united states. what we can bring to our shared table. yes we can bring something. we have some value. only to only cry and come to united states with a question. view, the newof directions that created diplomacy, it is clearly different directions. it is fir

it doesn't describe the united states. hunger games is only like the united states in the sense that -- >> that it takes place in the united states and -- >> i live in washington, d.c. and washington, d.c. is booming as the rest of the country is suffering. >> you mean the capitol. >> the captal city is booming -- capitol city is booming. hunger games describes a poor country where people are scrounging. >> are you been to detroit? >> we don't send the poor to the united states into battle killing each other. >> no, but this might be agi start. >> there's a new plan in tennessee that affects family welfare payment and ties them to the children of those resip yenlts performance in school. you get lower grades you get lower payments. >> while it didn't go through we have to be prepared another one. i gather potential tributed from manhattan's ps32 to see if they were ready for battle. >> who had breakfast in this morning? they were clearly overfed. it's like they didn't want to inflict harm on one other. so cute. i have news

states is for islamic extremists and so i think the united states citizens have gotten what they've paid for when they because we've been able to for you all and prevent numerous attacks on the continental united states and in europe with some of our allies because we're spending so much more money on intelligence and because we're able to have a more capable intelligence service going after threats to our country well you just mentioned nine eleven and that was of course.

states does embody the nation in a certain way and if the nation sees itself the united states as a masculine and which it has been since its inception dominated by white men then women have a really up hill road to climb so when a woman is trying to present herself or to be taken seriously you can expect that she's going to be cut down or some people are going to try to cut her down because she doesn't measure up to that standard which has been defined as very masculine standards and in the book you also argue that certain policies are pursued by politicians because they appeal to white men can you elaborate on what these specific policies are and what tactics each party uses to appeal to the group. well i mean this whole i. this whole language of tough on crime tough on terrorism strong on foreign policy and national defense all this is all gendered language that suggests that what we need is a is a strong man whose or person but certainly man is the assumption is the default assumption will be who will be willing to use force to establish or maintain our control in the world or f

a suspicion arose in the united states that some foreign countries were using exports to the united states as a means of promoting the domestic growth of their own economies. they were flooding us with their goods while keeping ours out. this suspicion were based on the existence of very high tariffs abroad, it would be fairly easy to evaluate. unfortunately, most of the obstacles that countries place in the way of foreign imports are more subtle than that, what economists call "non-tariff barriers" to trade. government subsidies, as in the case of steel, are sometimes overt, sometimes hidden and complex. complicated licensing and import procedures, special regulations concerning the standards, specifications, and testing that imported products have to meet. the magnitude of such barriers is very difficult to assess. what can be said with some confidence is that countries who are running huge trade surpluses with the united states, like japan, should take quite seriously the effort to open their economies to american goods as much as they can. for the alternative is very likely to be incre

the fbi had rounded up almost all agents operating with the united states. however, hitler was very unhappy with the job being done by his intelligence service, the abwehr, and pressured admiral kanaris, his intelligence chief, do something more dramatic. the result was an operation called pastorius in which eight germans who had lived in the united states, two of whom had been us citizens, and--men who had gone back to germany, were recruited to form this team. they were put ashore in the united states via submarine in the summer of 1942 to carry out espionage. one of them decided to rat on his other comrades, thinking this would make him a hero. this--and--and--and so they were all quickly rounded up. this story is--is fairly well-known. what is far less known was roosevelt's attitude towards these saboteurs. he immediately directs his attorney general, francis biddle, to organize the trial outside of the civilian courts through a military tribunal. and he said to biddle, in effect, 'these are agents of the enemy. they've come ashore in wartime th--in civi

their united states senators and their governor. well, let me move on to something far more serious, and i'm going to talk about obamacare, too. and i'm going to tie that in with what i believe this process that we're going through relating to our constitutional right to advise and consent the president of the united states when it comes to his appointments, i'm going to tie that in to why i believe that has all happened and why we find ourselves here today because of this failed obamacare system. yesterday when i was on the floor, i talked at some length about the history of filibuster changes. i mentioned that i have a tremendous amount of respect for a senator that passed not all that long ago, served in this body for a long time, probably knew this body better than anybody who ever served in the history of the senate. that would be senator bob byrd. came here and he was in failing health by the time i arrived in the senate just about five years ago, but what a -- what a wonderful man. got to know him a little bit. we actually pa

we should want to represent the dignity of the united states. and the north korean dictator, that's all he is, a tyrant and dictator, he is holding an american citizen as hodge right now. he just released an 85-year-old american from prison and health him unjustly and he is the person who just, in a mafia style execution, killed his own uncle. so for dennis rodman to cavort with a dictator astrikes me as plain wrong. >> i want to bring in a fellow athlete. you coming out of the closet, talking about being hiv positive. you have tried to use your name for good. obviously what dennis rodman is doing, completely different and not comparable. but in the sense of trying to use your fame, your notoriety to achieve something positive, what do you think of what dennis rodman is doing? >> well, dennis rodman is dennis rodman. you never know, you know, where he's coming from any way. so you know, for my own personal belief, trying to use sharing myself as a whole person. i'm a gay man living with hiv. i happen to be an olympian. the one thing that really

with information. >> you have rights in the united states. even if they can take your passport and lock it up back home, even if they could take your money back home, they shouldn't, but in the united states if they do that, they are committing a crime. >> reporter: after two years of what she describes as slavery, rosemary martel said she recovered and is building a life. >> translator: now i'm happy. i have my six-year-old baby she is my happiness. i'm happy because i'm working with a group of women to let them know their rights so the them things that happened to me, don't happen to them. >> a few minutes ago we told you about the story of phil robertson, the duck dynasty clan being in hot water for comments he made about homosexuality. what's the news? >> we got word from a and e network and they said they are disappointed by what he said and all the fans, you'll note the network placed phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely this is very, very big news and i'm sure we'll hear a lot about this tomorrow. >> one of the most popular show

ardent opponents of a genuine two state solution well obviously the united states in other example is iran now there is the nonproliferation treaty to which most states in the world have signed on with the exception of you with us close u.s. ally israel but part of the you nonproliferation treaty is that states this nuclear. power states help other states the non-nuclear weapon states to develop their peaceful use of nuclear energy well that part of the nonproliferation treaty has been abandoned and it's there the united states. leads a kind of a campaign to prevent iran the peaceful use of nuclear energy which is supposedly nonproliferation treaty and little about georgia saying if i go back to majeed in tampa is that you know the international community the term international community is george is applying it here is really the washington consensus isn't it . i think that's a great point i think. i think we're raising i think it's again depends on the context that we're using and we have to define it really no order to be able to build up with upon our arguments i think i think the

with the united states. look for a way to accommodate this new global interest. and, finally, i noted that while brazil and the united states have been friendly, there's been a certain polite distance both of us ar were going about our business but increasingly we have seen more connectivity between our societies and between our peoples that was going to affect ultimately our diplomacy and our foreign policy towards each other. and that with time our societies and peoples ar were going to bee the principal drivers of our relationship and not our governments. i would argue that i was right in all of those assertions. and that if anything else, my nearly four years in brazil had convinced me that they are still valid, and actually very still much alive in shaping the u.s.-brazil relationship. although brazil has seen its own fair share of internal political effervescence last june with the many demonstrations we saw across brazil, from our point of view this as evidence of the health of brazilian democracy and

this united states company image when it was public has to realize it can't just buy. here i'll just throw it away this is a problem for instance belongs to the united states environmental protection agency and i found this on a dump site here this is here it's not always. produces the bees and that's what i think should be able to collect these i believe that vision responsible for their products from cradle to grave. fatal from mexico department of mental health from patil south america incorporated but also belongs to the washington metro area transit will polizzi the properties of a dentist aids page trend and trademark office. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand one hundred top two cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp torch relay. m r t r t dot com. so much of the bribery comes. this is doing hello. this. is a great description it. is. most important thing to do to read all of it if you

it would tarnish the credibility and the reputation of the united states. the united states has national security interests to advance here, its own. and it can only do that through the democratic forces in syria. not allowing assad to rule any more. he is a dictator that has killed 126,000 of his people. he is a man who has made 7 million refugees. and in proportion to the united states t that is a hundred million american refugees. >> ifill: so joshua landis, first of all, do you think this first step is the a permanent step away of u.s. involvement leaving assad in power. and what is the other option for the u.s. here? >> well, you know, most people in washington, most of the official washingtonians are saying that assad has to step down. but there's going to be a political solution. and yet no one has a plan to make assad step down. he says he's not going to do it. who is going to make him step down. nob is going to do it unles unless-- be in will do it unless it's american marines. and everything points that obama is to the going to do that. if you are

not only that he wants an agreement to be signed between the facts and united states. a good time but our focus right now is on the differences. and that we are seeking when it comes to the two topics i mentioned our peace efforts. and putting a stop to the medicare patients against applicants are the odds of a desolate set is designed to safely cybersecurity not seem to get to do so could jeopardize of guns security after a bidding duel is a year in forty eight was saying that the gop house addicted to see as fun as i think she ever did get assigned a bid to secure the sta video cuts to hear this didn't happen so in order to move slowly declining. as of two afghanistan in the suspect's mother never uk can get into that. we just love since i'm a student asked if us and that the fishes have warned that if a site does not sign the security deed that the united states compete for washington on the undying with up to the fill void to fill the gun is done by the end of two thousand fourteen and abounding found to be the kind of thing throws a fit on the thousands that that

we waste 40% of our food in the united states. consumers throw away an estimated 25% of what they bring home or eat at restaurants. 64 billion pounds of surplus food is dumped into landfills each year, and that is 2.6 million garbage truck loads, just two sides that in your mind. $165 billion, costing millions to service and dispose of. an american family of four throws away $1600 worth of food each year, and i think you alluded to it nicely, but think about the underlying resource waste that represents. agriculture takes up a huge percentage of our freshwater in california. we are throwing away a lot of energy, as well, so this is a big panel, one of the biggest out there, and we have a good panel, and i am very excited by the breadth and depth of what is represented here, so i will begin by introducing everyone, but i want to show you this graphic, and i am going to turn this off. i was thinking of how to orient the conversation, and i want to talk about the supply chain in food and where the waste is occurring. in cymer losses

israel is the only country in the world to receive it from the united states. and engaging in extensive training and joint exercises in areas of special operations, missile defense, and search-and- rescue. unprecedented levels. these examples and a lot more should make crystal clear our commitment to preserve israel's qualitative military edge so that israel can defend itself by itself against any threat. and when israel, or if israel were to come under attack by terrorists on its borders or by an international organization, we will always stand up for israel's right to defend itself. and the united states is always particularly prepared to be the first and fastest to israel's side in any time of crisis. we approach this challenge believing that israel has to be strong to make peace, but that peace will also make israel stronger. and we are convinced that the greatest security will actually come from a two-state solution that brings israel lasting peace. shared prosperity throughout the region, good relations among neighbors, peace of mind for the people of isr

snowden's key adviser in the united states ben wizner joins me now. ben, good to meet you. >> good to be here. >> what happens legally when he says, mr. snowden, i've already won. there was a ruling in the u.s. district court that concluded t the following: no doubt the bulk telephoney met adata collection program vacuums up information about virtually every telephone call to, from or within the governments counter punch. the cost of missing such a threat could be horrific. the bulk telephone metadata is to reconstruct and eliminate al qaeda's terror network. so here's a district court judge disagreeing with another district court judge. if it's going to go to the supreme court, the u.s. court of appeals has to do something. is this where it's headed? >> it is, but let me say this district judge is not just agreeing with another district judge, he's also disagreeing with a panel that included a former counterterrorism adviser concluded they had seen no evidence that the bulk telephone metadata program had been uniquely successful had stopped any kind
