4:23 pm
got out. there was a neutral part, they were seen as a way to get your message out. particularly if you were an insurgent group where you didn't have the power of government to control or at least insert themselves into the media of a country or region, you needed those reporters to come in and talk to them, and reporters could go into a encampment of a rebellion or to a group that was, a terrorist group, the invited in because that is how you got your message out. now, it is not even a neutral circumstance for journalists. it may have been needed in the past. they are now an antagonist to your ability to control your message about the group and go rightly be a the internet to take the message out. one of the limitations that has come up as a result of being able to communicate more information asked her to a greater audience is, the ability of terrorist groups and whatever to get their message out.
4:24 pm
if you are a working journalist, you are no longer the necessity. you are really a threat. that has prevented a number of people from going into places where the ultimate violence is a daily occurrence. delphine: we just published a report on monday describing how isis and boko haram in nigeria are restricting the access of journalists, controlling the media, developing their own media and how actually journalists become targets and violence becomes a message, especially violence against journalists. we published a kind of commandment towards isis and journalists. one of the first commendments is that journalists will rise against the islamic state are considered soldiers. -- enemy soldiers.
4:25 pm
robert: it was proposed in the pentagon, identify journalist is potentially combatants because of the potential not to write on the script. that was withdrawn. somebody proposed that with any report on how the u.s. developed its own media relations guidelines. that is a lot, there is no intention of harm. but it was that attitude that the media is now an antagonist, and the flow of information is to be feared. >> a couple words. you have had a lot of portraits [indiscernible] come what i would
4:26 pm
recommend to you is [indiscernible] the obstacles about who is a candidate for radicalization. he identified that, in fact, it is not radicalization or islamism, but the islamization of radicalization. you have data particular groups that are concerned from french york, they in new are more like the second generation, and the converts. the converts where a large part of those who were going to fight in global jihad. very interesting in this respect. delphine: i think it would be time to conclude. i want to thank you, caroline, for staying with us from skype.
4:27 pm
i wish she could of been with us but i know you are really very demanded these days and i really give you my best regards and all the best for the days to come in france. a lot of commemoration to come. thank you again. i do not know if you have a few words to say, but i wanted to thank everyone on the panel for being here today for this discussion. i went to thank you for following us today for this discussion. hopefully, we will continue to discuss this freedom actively. thank you. [applause] newsmakers,eekend's
4:28 pm
mac thornberry of texas talks the u.s. state of military, national security issues, and foreign policy under the obama administration. back, doing the minimum necessary to avoid disaster, that sort of thing has proven to increase danger. we could also talk about the red line, which not only did not help syria but it disillusioned allies around the world and has led them to have less trust in us. there's a long list of things. it would give me confidence he's able to look at the world as it
4:29 pm
really is. >> the obama administration to lee terry strategy relies a lot on partnered forces, whether they are iraqi security forces or syrian troops, and i was wondering -- the week began with iran and saudi arabia having a lot of tension. that couldried affect the ground forces the u.s. is relying on and how do you see this tension affecting the fight? >> yes, i am worried about that and i think this escalating and sauditween iran arabia makes everything more complicated and dangerous. i think you can make a pretty good case that saudi arabia has felt increasingly isolated as a result of the nuclear deal with the administration put
4:30 pm
forward. because of the restrictive rules administration has put on our people in iraq and syria. you see what's happening in yemen. saudi arabia >> that has led to some of the actions we have seen. there is no question that iran feels emboldened. tensionslation of creates a more dangerous world for the middle east including for our troops in that region. >> see that entire interview tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> as president obama prepares for his state of the union address, he released this video on twitter.
4:31 pm
is my last one. i keep thinking about the world we have traveled together. that is what makes america great. our capacity to change for the batter better. to pull ourselves closer to the america we believe in. but it is who we are and what i want to focus on in the state of the union. real clear politics congressional reporter james harkin looking back at the history and tradition of the president's annual message and what to expect in this year's address. of the speedrage followed by the republican response by nikki haley. facebook tweets and e-mail, and those from members of congress.
4:32 pm
and we will re-air our state of the union coverage and the republican response starting at 11:00 eastern. we'll hear from members of congress in statuary hall. republican president shall candidate donald trump is in iowa today. one of his stops includes a campaign rally in clearlake. we will have that live at 5:00 eastern. you martin, we bring o'malley who traveled to las vegas for the first in the west caucus dinner. this is 30 minutes. mr. o'malley: good to see you.
4:33 pm
it is wonderful to see you. are we democrats fired up? ready to go? here witherful to be all of you and i want to thank harry reid for his outstanding leadership of our nation. senator reid, thank you for everything you do for us. [applause] my name is martin o'malley. i am the former mayor of baltimore. i am the former governor of maryland. i'm a lifelong democrat and i'm running for president of the united states. i intend to win and i need your help. [applause]
4:34 pm
. my experience though is different than my other competitors. i'm not a former united states senator or congressperson. i have learned how to count votes and bring people together to accomplish difficult things. i'm not a cabinet secretary or advisor. i have put together some terrific cabinets of talented and diverse men and women who know how to get things done. experience as an executive bringing people together, getting things done. actions, not words. the first a in the union to pass a living wage. raising the minimum wage. investing more in public make our schools number one in america. these were actions not words. withoutr years in a row
4:35 pm
a penny's increased to college tuition, investing in our infrastructure, making my state number one in entrepreneurship, passing a climate change bill and taking actions like these. drivers licenses for new american immigrants and passing the dream act in maryland. [applause] passing marriage equality, repealing the death penalty and that passing comprehensive gun safety legislation, actions not words. sometimes it is easy to become discouraged about the gridlock in our national politics and congress. polarization of our nation's deliberative body. when that happens to you i want to urge you to do as i do and that is if you want to know where our country is headed, talk to young americans under 30 years old.
4:36 pm
themill rarely find among young americans who deny the climate change is real or think their nations should do something about it. you rarely find people who want r in theamerica's doo face of refugee families fleeing genocide. you will rarely find among them in americans who want to bash numeric immigrants or deny rights to gay couples or their children. we arethis tells me actually moving to a much more connected, compassionate and generous place. we have only need of new leadership to call forward the goodness within us. and move our country forward. i'm here to challenge you to point the way forward for our country at a time when it seems like big money has taken over politics, here in the nevada caucuses, every individual still matters, don't they?
4:37 pm
i want to share some thoughts with you about our country. about where we need to head to move us forward. to one of the most important lessons i learned about our country and the american dream that we shared. i learned when i was 17. i was working in a restaurant and i solve this new american immigrant man, his name was man well -- miguel. without him that restaurant would not function. this guy was there early, opened up the place, busing tables. i was watched and working tirelessly night after night. at the end of one long night i how is itsking him the you work so hard? instead of answering me how, he
4:38 pm
told me why. said, for my daughter. [applause] uni are part of a self creating ministry called the united states of america. the promise at the heart of that mystery is a very real and concrete thing. that is the covenant among us that says in our country you start where you start. for your own hard work you should be able to get ahead, to give your children and grandchildren a safer, better future. my wife and i have four terrific kids. daughter is a first grade teacher in her third year
4:39 pm
at walter p carter elementary school in baltimore city. any teachers in the audience? ago, after her dad had announced her run to presidency she returned to her class of african-american kids. som not girl said sure about this idea of your father running for president. , i like barack obama. us like barack obama, right? [applause] eight years ago, when our nation was on the verge of being plunged into a second great depression by the recklessness of wall street, we brought to move ourw leader country forward and that is exactly what he has done.
4:40 pm
positive in a row of month over month job growth. that is leadership. that is the new leadership that our country needed. now it is up to us. we must build upon president obama's legacy or surely we will backslide into a very bad detour . what am i talking about? forget about a hidden agenda. the republican candidates promise to take us backward. they will undo every single thing we have accomplished in these last eight difficult years . i look at their candidates and shake my head. i would like to say donald trump was the most outrageous and unqualified person ever to run for president. but that is not fair to ted cruz.
4:41 pm
[applause] nevada democrats, we must win this election and we must fight for the future of our country. those guys can have their fears, can have their anger. there is more that unites us than divides us. there is nothing so divided about our politics that new leadership and our love for one another cannot heal. this is what we can agree on. no american family who works hard and plays by the rules should have to raise their children and politics poverty. unfortunately, some billionaires would disagree with that. donald trump has said wages are too high. american wages are too high?
4:42 pm
i will tell you what is too high. college tuition in the united states of america is too high. the cost of childcare is too high. the number of americans living in poverty is too high. donald comes opinion of himself is too high. no, no, donald trump, donald trump, wages in america are too low. when our workers earn more, they spend more and our economy grows . that is american economics. the hard truth of our times, that we need to own if we are going to win this general election, this is the hard truth we need to own and acknowledged to fix it and have credibility with our neighbors. today because of bad trickle down choices of the last 30 ,ears before president obama
4:43 pm
70% of us are earning the same yearss than we were 12 ago. that is the first time that has happened this side of world war ii. that is not the way our country is supposed to work. we have come a long way but we have urgent work to do. is both sides working, only the democratic party, the party of roosevelt, of kennedy, a barack obama will make our economy work again and make wages go up for all americans. that is the truth. the formula of our success is that in every generation we square our shoulders to the challenge of our times, we make our country stronger and we take actions, not words but actions to include more people, more fully in the economics and
4:44 pm
political life of our nation. we must raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour however we can and wherever we can. "applause" [applause] to bargain collectively for better wages for all of us. equal pay for men and women and paid family leave in the knighted states of america. these are the choices that move us forward. instead of scrapping or privatizing social security i have put forward a plan to expand social security and increase average pay outs to americans. we want to get wages to go up rather than down. do what our grandparents
4:45 pm
did before us. let's get 11 million neighbors out of the shadow economy by passing comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for all. these are among the 15 strategic goals i have put forward in the course of this campaign for moving our country forward. the difference between a goal in dream is a deadline. usut forward a plan to move to make debt-free college a reality in the next five years. i have the backbone to stand up to the bullies of wall street so wall street economy can never wreck america's mainstream economy. that means reinstituting a modern version of glass-steagall and doing it today. [applause]
4:46 pm
making national service a universal option for every american kid, eradicating childhood hunger in the next five years. these are the ambitions worthy of a great people. to cut in half the number of americans who die from guns and gun violence in the united states. a few days ago, president obama stood beside families who have been devastated and shattered by gun violence. he spoke to the nation, he spoke to all of us as a people. what did he offer? reasons and compassion and common sense to stem the scourge of gun deaths. the president executive actions will expand background checks something, by the way, supported by nine out of 10 americans,
4:47 pm
democrats, independents, nine out of 10 republicans. was the sickening response of ted cruz? ted cruz responded with a doctored photo depicting our president as a nazi soldier trying to calm for american's guns. have you no shame? have you no shame? actually says the answer to gun violence is more guns. it is not to cancer, more cancer. the answer to poverty is not more poverty. the answer to gun violence is it more guns. in my own state after the slaughter of those innocent kids in that classroom in connecticut
4:48 pm
i brought our people to pass gun safety legislation including a ban on combat assault weapons. we didn't interrupt a single hunter's hunting privileges or season. i never met a self-respecting hunter who need it -- >> we take you live to clear lake iowa where donald trump is holding a rally just getting started. trump: even is no good. even is no good. we are going to surprise a lot of people. a lot of people are going to be surprised. i have little doubt about it. i want to thank you for being here. the owner just said this is a record. we have big crowds. usually people are sitting. we usually get more people in.
4:49 pm
our country is in trouble, very serious trouble. no matter what aspect of her country you look at, whether it is the military which is not prepared, the general when he left said in terms of preparedness we are the worst we have been. i think he said since inception. let's take it back to world war ii or world war i. we can't do it. we need strengthen our military. i'm going to build our military bigger and better and stronger than ever before. bigger and better and stronger. hopefully nobody is going to mess with us and by doing that in many ways that is the cheapest thing you can do. instead of ending in these protracted wars, they are always been interviewed on television. do you think general macarthur is a big interviewer? do you think general patton went
4:50 pm
on television? they get interviewed. they say what we are going to do, how we are going to do it. guy -- he isce saying how tough isis is. how are we going to do it? i don't know. they are very tough. the enemy is watching this. they are saying is this what we are fighting? we are quite have the toughest, smartest people. we will have security in our country. by the way, i never mention the military without mentioning the fact our veterans are going to be treated great. they're not treated right. we have illegal immigrants treated better in many cases. it is not going to happen anymore. the veterans administration is a mess. it is corrupt, it is run poorly. our veterans are going to be
4:51 pm
treated well. put it down and guarantee it. it is going to happen. say,ther thing i have to there has been talk that i was going to go in the back of the pack. not going to happen. this has been a great tradition. people talk about putting iowa -- then you won't see me as much. that will be terrible. and i will not see you. it is not the same thing. i'll will remain where it is. you can bank on it. the polls came out last night. we did great. we have been doing good from the beginning. my wife said if you run you are going to win. wife who feels like that. she said if you run your going to win. from the beginning we announced
4:52 pm
june 16. almost from that week we are like a rocket ship. these characters, some the most dishonest people in the world. waved to them. dishonest --ost seriously dishonest people in the world. i've never seen anything like it. no matter what you do, it doesn't matter. 25% are good. the number is giving up. time magazine wrote a cover story of me. you have to go out and buy time magazine. they wrote a cover story. i got a couple of covers. they said i should have one person of the year. they gave it to chancellor merkel who has serious problems. that was not a good move made in germany. everybody said he is going to win. i said no i won't.
4:53 pm
i'm not establishment. they don't have the guts to give it to me. i was right. that's ok. they wrote a story before that. that was ok. this story is so well written, i never spoke to the rider. , noust took the campaign matter where i go, dallas, 21,000 in dallas. people. alabama, 35,000 we go to oklahoma, 20,000 people standing in a field. a convention center that held 10,000 people. we took a field. it was very windy so i put a hat on. go.atter where we then in iowa we always have the biggest crowds. at our last venue, i just left another place.

4:55 pm
that's amazing. but we did something that has never been done before. it is too big. it was packed. they sent away 5-6000 people. my friend said to me how do you do that? you have all those people. i insist on not using a teleprompter. honestly it would be so easy. like our president. he reads. it is wonderful to be in iowa today. goodbye everybody. i would love to do it. i would love to read a speech were you take a speech and you read it and then you leave. i told this person when you do that, number one after a little while -- the biggest thing on
4:56 pm
broadway, as great as review would be in the near times of history and word-of-mouth. the word-of-mouth for us has been amazing. the word-of-mouth on these rallies has been incredible and they have just grown and grown. the only thing that stops them is the size of the arena or the place or the rules. it has been incredible when you look at what is going on. we haven't had a non-packed house almost at all. is a movement. i think actually when it comes time we are going to actually over perform. i have a feeling for more people are going to vote than they even think and we are going to set a record in iowa. , chuck andell you sam and stephanie have done an incredible job but i will tell
4:57 pm
