is not a side it's humanistic how do you assess obama assess him as being someone that has spoken very clearly on issues that are good for him and his party and i got to say the democrats are very pro your side well they're prone respects of trying to make things happen but guess what they haven't been able to and the reason is because of the separation of the different parties in this country why are you blaming obama because under his watch if the buck stops with him under his watch more people have been deported now than they've ever been deported in the history of this country but he's advocating reform he wasn't specific but he's advocating reform of the whole immigration situation well if he's strong enough to make it go through when he won easily is what do you want him to do honestly logically honestly he would have to sit down with everybody on both sides and work this thing through no one point the senate had a bill that they pushed through an idea and of course it was stopped in the house

and then we've also had a situation where today there's a bill that's coming out that has come out on behalf of the house i think and they're turning around and saying that we should do it in the way but it's not comprehensive and in any sense of the word there to do but build yes and that's not comprehensive so what do you want obama to do you want to call a people he's been trying that for years didn't let him keep doing it i would rather have him battling it out in that room then not talking is the way it's going to be done they have to come together this this government has an issue and as soon as it becomes politicized that's a name or a program here politicking as soon as they start politicking nobody gets anything in any respect the who list humanity. can he do any executive orders do your knowledge on not a lawyer i'm not a lawyer either but i got to tell you i don't think you can i think you could throw

the book at him they would tell me he's breaking the law you know and i'd be interesting to see what he's going to do but i don't think he's going to be able to do anything i think he's a pretty good as falling into a very very difficult lame duck but the statistic is the obama administration has deported nearly two million cheese undocumented aliens as a highest rate of any presidency by the way is that a surprise to you yeah yeah especially since he's said so much at the beginning of his administration for that to be the issue die i understand he's trying to enforce the fact that he's here to enforce the laws of the country and he's showing that by doing that in hopes that then the opposition to the requests that he makes will come and say well he's doing a good job of what he's trying to do solicit try to help them out but they're not doing that but isn't the opposition with a growing percentage of latino voters in this country which is going to be they're going to be in two thousand and fifty the majority of them just think that most of the side the tide is turning in your way my way meaning you're saying that

listening tough immigration laws that we're going to look at we cannot have we cannot we have to deal with the issue that's at hand right now if we don't come to terms with the fact that right now people are getting in in a state of complete frenzy people are scared really scared. of being deported to being you know trying to children being separated from them. and they say well then why don't all these people go back if they went back larry. people went back this country would be in a shock as to what would happen they made a movie about it a day without a mexican everybody should see it. and then the chaos rescue total i mean the young people is no reason why a child who was brought here the people sealed and that's ridiculous that you know you can say that but there are people watching your program right now who are just throwing stuff at the television because basically this is

a very very very controversial issue because you talk about laws and the laws of the land have to be changed though a person who emigrated under the laws probably if he's not working let's say is angry at someone coming here illegally getting a job exam that's who would blame him for being angry my father was angry at that you know he was legally here and it took him a long time to get here and he was always angry at people who came he would they weren't didn't come here the right way he always was and i would tell him dad why are they coming here let's stop for a second what exploitation caused or what deficiency caused this and they said well that's the country that countries thought wait a minute who is exploiting latin america. why did we get to this point in the first place why isn't latin america especially the mexico a first world nation why isn't it and then you say well because the people who live there don't want to change it now that it's true it's the powers that be they don't

want to change in the powers that be are people who are under the influence and under the understanding of the how they got to be powers that be out of the what was happening here in the united states of america less soon the senate pass comprehensive reform that would provide a path to citizenship for eleven million undocumented in the measure stalled in the house it's right the path to citizenship do you see that coming is that is that a road here. i can't even see them stopping the immigrant they're returning let alone making a way for them to be here and legally that's i have a big problem with this it's going to be something that can become very destructive towards a country that already is i'm praying that they can be i'm praying that there is a possibility of causing people to have been here when they're when the senate made sense they did it i thought it did but the house said no and i understand why it said no politics why is it will those of the republicans in states where there

isn't hasn't been a heavy impact generally opposed to this right now so how are you ever going to overturn it unless you elect a new congress and that ain't going to happen not right away it will happen though because basically like you said before by the year two thousand and fifty everything is going to change this past weekend republican paul paul ryan who ran for the vice president said the possibility of a broad immigration bill reaching obama's desk is clearly in doubt you've been involved in this a long time how you kind of discouraged yeah i'm discouraged because inevitably the art system is failing the humanity in which we live in my known ones happy i mean. both sides are completely beyond any kind of feeling of success or any kind of hope both sides i mean the political structure here is another dog meyer i told that i said that from the very beginning

do you talk to republican friends i love them yeah i love are probably good friends what do they say to you this is what the usually the go the status quo you know that there would be the law should be upheld and people should understand it and then you get some radical radical situations that happened like that happened in arizona there's a situations that i feel basically if we don't start looking at them from a humanistic level not a political level we're going to be a lot of trouble. and then he mentally always takes second billing it's never been first there's first is when there's maybe an earthquake or there's a tsunami you know. but little lot of people say they're for reform even though you say well sometimes republicans say they're for reform everyone knows it's a problem right yeah and therefore they want to say that they're for reforming it yes and but on the no say well they'll put more stopgaps up at the border build

more boy you and i have done this i thought more than almost anybody other two people we went down that a border already we're on the border and there are people jumping the border when we're on the border clear i may have looked member was looking at a new film i say that you know basically this is just me and i'm not an expert at this i will tell you this i've lived a long time i'm sixty six years old and i've been doing this a long time and i've seen the unbelievable differences that have happened when people really do care and really do try to make a difference and right now we are not trying to do that we are trying to really enforce a situation that's going to completely demoralized this country while you're successful actor producer you have so many credits you're telling award nominee i want to stand in the liver as been seen by more people than any movie yeah ever made in the united states why why why do you get so upset about this you just set. i mean really what i mean. this is not. my

issue this is not a political issue that we treated as if it was a political issue that we treated as if i have some vested interest in this i do from a humanistic aspect. humanity is losing because we can't come to terms with why people are coming here we cannot block the border if you think there's a whole lot of latinos coming here you wait when they open up china you wait to see how many people and there are already started we did a movie go for sisters yet tell it on sales he deals with the fact that there are so many people coming in here now and who are coming in are the chinese or asian that are coming across the borders now and they pay lots of money thirty to fifty thousand dollars to get across. that's a lot of money and these guys are getting across and they told him to they meld the

into the deal was your answer to all of us i see get ready because as soon as they open the doors to china and people can come and go out to china and chinese finally get to turn to sing while that's just let our people go we have so many billions of them anyway it would be hard to be anti changing immigration and win the presidency don't you think very hard i think so i think i would think the tide is turning toward the human estate i would hope don't you that i do yeah as i wouldn't be here . and i got to tell you i applaud you i applaud you for constantly doing what i consider to be work that has to be done and you didn't come bless you proud to call you a friend thank you thanks to james for joining me on this very important topic immigration coming up next on politicking the russian ambassador c. united states on security questions and political questions surrounding the olympics and later a high ranking town this one just back from sochi don't hold a. plane

. the olympic spirit travels with the flame from its place in greece. join james brown for an elemental and epic journey around russia and beyond.

you know maybe it was you don't you don't think carlos you know response to really . knows everyone in my life that i cared about their government and then. i came askin well. i was a national champion in track and field and also i was able to go in qualify for the olympic games. you know nine hundred eighty eight i started to experiment with that the drugs i had lost all the financial means that i. was really on the street. black market kids. great. interest.

the to be joining us now from washington d.c. is the russian ambassador to the united states surrogate keys locked we thank you very much for joining us mr ambassador the obvious first question with the opening ceremonies coming friday night how safe is soucie. thank you very much mr king for inviting mean into your social and it's save it

save because we have undertaken old in there some measures in order to deny. terrorists that would be terrorists any chance of success and we are going to succeed in that so it's going to be a wonder for all a when behind the four sportsman for our younger generation that i have hope it's going to be remembered by them and by many other people including your viewers as something very spectacular positive joyful there has to be those some concerns with all of the threats with the kurds as previously in the last month or so in moscow how much the security is in place. wow result lot of his security that were put in place and. certainly terrorism as a global phenomenon so when you talk about think about terrorism threat it's equally

applied to russia as it applies to your country and i will just to point you to the recent superbowl that was so well protected and i understood that your law enforcement also take that kind of threat or challenges the very seriously so russia is a responsible country and we certainly have a lot of assets to deploy which we have already done and we're pretty comfortable that everything will be fine. it's reported that these games will be the most expensive ever of the fifty billion critics mr putin alleges that businessmen officials close that of president stole billions in olympic funs are you concerned about the charge about corruption. i have heard this but nobody was able to present any evidence of it so when it comes to the price there for the

olympics many people overlook very simple thing for us to lympics it's not only the games which are very important and we have loved a lot of importance for these games as a as a festival of. sports festival of friendship between people and it's going to be so but also what is important in two weeks the olympics will be over but everything that has been created for the olympics including the infrastructure are going to stay and they're going to stay to be used by russian people and mind you sochi is a wonderful resort area that a long needed additional investment and the olympics is the proper vehicle to attract a lot of investment into the region and make a significant change the riches embezzler the chairman of the house intelligence committee mike rogers call on the russian government to be more cooperative with

pre olympics intelligence sharing according to him we don't seem to be getting all the information we need to protect our athletes america has offered to provide its own security become what do you say to this that there has a bit a lot of cooperation on the security end first of all those lympics are going to be held in russia. so it's our responsibility to ensure that the security is provided for all and we're going to circumvent russia has a lot of capabilities to deploy for these purposes minium much more than maybe some other countries third the reason ongoing dialogue. aeration between law enforcement russia and other countries including the united states and if you hear it was the representative of demonstration of the united states suggesting that certain they would like to have more i think he plays i think time but they

are very much satisfied with the quality of interaction with the russian law enforcement and i would say that russian law enforcement also feel the same. u.s. state department is warning american athletes to not wear united states gear outside the venue. you think that creates fear. i don't know i'm not responsible for the guidance that state department is issuing because had i been interested to do so i would have done it a little bit different but i think that american sportsman can feel safe in the olympics as anybody else is raja concerned that the president obama is not going the vice president does not go in the first lady is not going is that. they regard that as some sort of snub whoa olympics and when i invent where we invite those who are willing to come and we're going to have about sixty leaders of states member

of the olympic movement we're going to have about eighty five countries participating in sending they do we gave so it's up for each and every country to decide who they want to send to these delegations to this event so we're pretty comfortable with the decisions that the united states take because it's for them to decide whether they want to be at these. first of all of sport and. trenchant or not are you going no unfortunately have more to do and my dopers to work here. we thank the ambassador we thank him for his inside of the sochi olympics now joining us from capitol hill with a different perspective is the chairman of the house foreign affairs subcommittee on europe eurasia and emerging threats the republican congressman from california

dana rohrabacher just returned from moscow dana thanks so much for joining us chief organizer of the twenty fourteen olympics claims that the site is the most secure then you on the planet do you agree. well of course that's not the case and i would have appreciated and i would have supported having the olympics someplace else however with that said i think the russians made their determination they were not going to at all we can in the face of a potential terrorist threat and so they've stepped up and i think that we need to make sure that when it comes to standing against radical islamic terrorism that we step up and stand with them i agree with her insurance i concerned about american citizens attending i'm not concerned about it because i do believe that there. i do believe that the russian government has done everything that they can

possibly do to secure that area and now it's right near daga standards down in the caucus areas so there is a inherent danger that exists there however the russians have decided president putin has decided that he is going to make this happen and it's going to be safe and they have expended their enormous resources in order to secure the olympics and people asked me whether they should go and i have recommended to friends that they attend the olympics if they if that's the thing they like to do because i believe that they will be relatively safe there what worries you the most . well what worries me the most is that you might have some radical islamic terrorists who. will try to down an american plane whether a an airplane or something like that or blow up

a people on their way in or out of the olympics and. that's the one the clarity that i would do how ever with that said there is a great deal of cooperation going on right now i know mike rogers would prefer the be more cooperation on a higher level but during my recent visit i talked to various people involved and i've been briefed here as well and there is a significant level of cooperation not higher level than we've had before in trying to prevent this sort of radical islamic terrorism from taking the lives of innocent people no matter what country they come from who would like to attend the olympics and whether that course the ambassador said when you come down to it though it is still russia's problem security is rush's area well when. president putin of the russian government decided that they wanted to have the olympics. and

that they were willing to. expend the money on the resources necessary they knew that a large chunk of that expands was going to go into security and i don't think that they have hesitated to spend the money that's necessary to secure the olympics the president's not going the vice president isn't going the ambassador said that i think sixty major heads of nations are going to go do you think the president should go. yes you know i think that the president number one we should not politicize and there have been several groups that have been trying to politicize the olympics trying to say russian policy. towards their gay community in russia. that that political decision when russia part should guide whether or not we attend the olympics a lot of politicizing the olympics and i don't think that's right so i think that that shouldn't prevent us and when it comes to the threat of radical islamic

terrorism i think that while i would have preferred not having the olympics there if the russians step forward and they've decided and it's been decided that's where the olympics will be i think it's really important for the united states to send shoulder to shoulder we're not with just the russians but any country that's under the threat of radical islamic terrorism we need to be doubted front and that would be a perfect way to show their radical terrorists around the world that the rest of the world is united against them what do you think about the president's idea he included openly gay athletes former participants in the olympics in part of the united states official delegation i think that that's the president's prerogative and i would suggest that that is somewhat politicizing the event trying to insert that issue however if the president wants to make that statement and that says priority of us the elected representative of our country and. i'm not complaining

about it but i wouldn't have done that you're just back to it's costing the russian government fifty one billion dollars you've been dissociate you think it's a good investment well let me just note i was in moscow when not sochi i just got back from from moscow where i met with their intelligence people and and others. i think you know i think that as i say because there's an inherent risk. i think it might it was a it was not a good decision on the part of the russian government or and mr putin to insist on having this olympics i mean it's sort of hard headedness. it's going to cost them a lot more money than if they would have perhaps had the olympics more of a summer olympics in an area that was not in the caucuses which is so close to the radical islamic terrorists who they have to have now guard against counters in

another area what are you thoughts on russia granting. this is silent temporary asylum to edward snowden. well as you know snowden has a mixed bag with snowden many people many americans and i am included in that. are not upset with mr snowden for informing us and and drawing the attention of the american people that there was over surveillance on the part of our own government of our own people and i think it's ironic that mr snowden is warning a population against over surveillance by their government of their of their own of their private lives and then he flees to russia which is the route my entire life was the country that over surveil their people but. i don't but now that i don't have a disagreement with or i'm not upset with mr snowden for that but since he did that

since he is disclose that to the american people he is also disclosed other information that is very damaging to our intelligence operations overseas and it's one thing to disclose over surveillance of the american people it's another thing to disclose the details of some of our intelligence operations overseas and i believe that was a betrayal of our people and he should have done that danos did see a c and it's time when washington yes sir thank you larry thanks to all my guests and my viewers too for being out there to join us every week here on politicking join the conversation on my facebook page and share your thoughts on twitter by tweeting at kinston easy in politics. it's all for this week's edition. of.
