he's a good american. >> congressman dennis kucinich from ohio.thank you. >> thank you. >>> breaking news now. an amber alert for a missing 10-month-old girl in kansas city, missouri. here's her picture of lisa irwin, last seen sleeping in her crib around 10:30 last night. at this point, police say it appears someone entered the home through a bedroom window and abducted the child. she has blue eyes, blond hair, 30 inches tall. she weighs 26 to 30 pounds. at this point police are asking anyone with any information to call the tips hotline. >>> hank williams jr. explaining the comments that got him in hot water with espn. >> are you ready for some football? >> the network yanked that famous theme song from its monday night football broadcast last night after williams made an analogy to hitler while talking about president obama's golf outing with john boehner this summer. >> come on. come on. that would be like hitler playing golf with netanyahu. okay? >> okay. >> not hardly. you know, they're the enemy. they're the enemy. >> who's the enemy? >> ob

joining me now, democratic ohio congressman dennis kucinich, a member of oversight and government reformee. thank you very joining me tonight, congressman. >> thank you very much. >> how could this happen? what do we need to do to prevent this kind of thing? >> what we know is that the owner opened up the gates and let the animals out. ted strickland was right when he put up a temporary ban in january of 2011 on the sale and purchase of exotic animals. it was up to the department of natural resources to implement rules. they didn't do that. governor kasich apparently at this point has no intention of following up on the action of governor strickland and basically is sending it to the department of natural resources for them to do something about it. i don't think anything is going to be done. ohio is one of the easiest states in the union to be able to deal in these exotic pets. they have auctions across the state. every type of animal you could imagine is auctioned off and as a result you see the kind of tragedies that we have today where there's really no way of stopping these incidenc

it is not just people who we would think traditionally would denritical of this like dennis kucinich.t is a violation of our fifth amendment rights, no question. i think to the contrary i think it was to my mind the right decision by this president in this circumstance. the issue then becomes well, mr. president, what is the standard which you would say that this man deserves to be targeted. we don't have a standard. what is it that you feel less confident about making the call. what about if the situation is different? there should be a set standard and what is what the president needs to do. >> this man is an enemy combatant who has no rights under the laws of war. not only thattion he is a part of the command and control structure of an organization against which we have in effect declared war. so, this whole question about judicial and legal rights is irrelevant. this man wasn't executed for his crimes. he was killed because he was a commander of enemy forces. and he deploys them in an unusual way but this is not about -- >> but you have to make the case, brit and say here is exac

i am not trying to diminish aclu or ron paul or dennis kucinich.ut beyond that, you are not hearing a big outcry. >> i'm happy to diminish the aclu -- >> and ron paul. they don't believe in the whole effort. ron paul is, you know, saying out with 9/11 truthers. so the fact that these are serious voices involved in constitutional law, i don't believe that. >> i am going to put up interesting numbers. let's put these up on the screen. obama administration has carried out 227 drone attacks in two and-a-half years, almost five times meanz president bush in 8 years office. they have killed almost 1100 enemy combatants, almost five time what is the bush administration did. as someone who doubted whether this president was going to be aggressive in pursuing the war on terror and keeping america safe would you have to say he surprised you? >> as someone who doubted him in the war on terrorism, would you say you're surprised in. >> yes. i am surprised we are using drones overwhelmingly, where if we capturedhem, we could get good intelligence. and the drones

recently traveled to syria he said he was not engaged in spying but on a fact- finding mission for dennis kucinich. kucinich denies knowing soueid. >>> looking for damage from the east coast earthquake. inspectors rappeled down the side of the washington fashion cathedral today scouring it for more damage from the august other -- earthquake. this time the architecture is different. >> this, with all of the ornamentation that we're crawling around and touching and feeling, it is more entertaining for us, if you want to say, while we're up there. >> the team expects to finish up its job there this week. the cathedral is scheduled to reopen november 12th for consecration for the new bishop of washington. >>> an arrest following a weekend fire in manassas. laura evans is everywhere at 11:00. >> a woman is under arrest accused of setting the fire that left 23 people with nowhere to live. 28-year-old tannisha bates is behind bars with no bond. the fire destroyed six aparts on woodbury drive around 7:00 on sunday morning. bates is charged with felony arson. no word yet on a motive. >>> a judge in aruba r

one might think that dennis kucinich and paul are exact opposites but they're really not in a lot ofways. in fact, i quote ron paul. i know this is not exactly a question. mentioned in passing. but i quote from poverty and will be in the book. i think was a debate in the 2008 presidential primaries when he was running for president, and he said, you know, the terrorists out there, even 9/11 terrorists or the potential terrorists of the future, nuclear or otherwise, they don't hate us because they hate freedom and they hate what we stand for. they hate the actual activities that we are doing around the world. and ron paul said, what was the quote? it was something like, they're not out to get us because they want us to get us over here. they're out to get us because we already over there. this does get to your question because i think one of the ways, serving the nuclear care round to diminish the enactment of nuclear terror is not only to secure nuclear mitchell, not on to move towards nuclear weapons abolition, but to try to reduce the motives that people might have a nuclear terror

the fed should be under the treasury that's a proposal by dennis kucinich yes and which is part it's pretty much the exact idea of lot of the fed or what ron paul has been talking about what about this idea that dennis tenet says nationalize the fed put it under the treasury affectively making it transparent within the government's ability to do so but is that a good idea oh absolutely i mean it's so as to whether we should have a fed is a secondary question but certainly if we have one then it should be under the treasury which is nominally under the elected government right so what would be the objection them and if he said to the fed look we're just going to put you into the treasury department in your report to tim geithner now ben bernanke and we're going to put a guy in tim geithner's office to make sure he knows not doing too many horrible things what could they say back as to why that's not a good idea well i think the jet i mind trick is we need an independent fed owned by the banks to make the correct policy for the elected government right but greenspan kind of blew that co

conversation with president obama on camera three years ago will face off against either congressman dennis kucinich or congresswoman marcy kaptur for the seat both were redistricted into the same district as a result of the two thousand and ten census that is of course and if joe can even make it out of the republican primary if joe loses he can always fall back on his day job no not as a plumber but as the guy has been used by the republican party for three years. coming up they could create three million new jobs in america so why do republicans just filibuster the president's jobs bill. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right in the. i think. even one well. we never got to that says they're going to keep you safe get ready because you get their freedom. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else here sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcome to the big picture. the senate did something today that the republican controlled house of repres

the idea of putting it underneath the treasury reporting to the treasury a suggestion made by dennis kucinich recently what are your thoughts on this i think it's better to nationalize the federal reserve then to eliminate the federal reserve just because a central bank does serve many useful functions and it them in the biggest when it's looks like liquidity function this central bank is there to allow the money supply to expand its line is we have a system where banks create our money basically all of our money is created by banks in the form of loans except for coins which are the only thing issued by the government and the banks are always want more money back and they put out there in other words they create their principal but they don't create the interest necessary to pay off their loans you have to have an expanding money supply or somebody is going to go bankrupt which is what's happening in the e.u. because they don't allow their central banks to actually create money just kind of looking at this banking model for a second because we've talked about this before and you've talked ab

time we saw a number of lawmakers voice their opposition their concern people like congressman dennis kucinich who came on the show to talk about it but the mainstream media. not so much for some reason they're not as bothered as the rest of us about the constitution being trampled on over and over again so i guess i should have expected the following question today coming from chuck todd who there was a lot of. capitol hill when president obama unilaterally decided to do this not ask for congressional approval on this particular cicada nato operation . in hindsight. cobblers. i have given the president more thought or frankly give. other than publicly creating a little bit of a political issue about it. you know i really hope the chalk was stuttering so much right there because he realized as the words were coming out of his mouth of a sounded ridiculous this is the problem with our political system with our power worshipping establishment media the president decides to unilaterally get the country involved in a war one where the subject it was supposed to be the object he was using was suppo

she could be up with a primary challenge from dennis kucinich, also a well-known democrat.o you beat either one of them, joe? >> let's take this to the occupy wall street. you have some people over there right now are honestly concerned with what's going on you unfortunately they're protesting the wrong people. really what they need is better representation. that is what is comes down to. between marcy kaptur and dennis kucinich, and, representation that we've had, ohio lost a quarter of a million people. obviously something is not being done correctly. so it is not a matter of beating them. it is showing the american people and leading a new way with honesty and integrity and creating a environment for businesses to move back to ohio and flourish, for small businesses to flourish. that is the job that i'm going for. it is not to pander to my party or anyone else's special interests or lobbyists. it is actually to represent the american people, union, nonunion, democrats, republicans, those would be my constituents. i think they have forgotten that. that is not a dig on tho

the congressman who led the delegation, ohio democrat dennis kucinich, said he doesn't know mohammed sued. sued is accused of spying on americans who oppose president bashar assad's regime. >>> today it may look like spider-man is clinging to the walls of the national cathedral. the same crew that spent a week dangling from the washington monument, now supposed to head down the cathedral to see how much damage the august quake caused. megan mcgrath joins us live this morning. >> reporter: good morning. no doubt a lot of people are going to stop and take a look at they do their work. as you say, it was the same team involved in the inspection of the washington monument, and now they're going to do basically the same thing but here at the national cathedral. take a look at the video shot yesterday. they actually got under way yesterday afternoon. they're going to be back here this morning, and they're going to be dangling from the top of the building by ropes, rappelling down the side of the national cathedral looking for cracks, looking for any damage as a result of that earthquake. t

i mean, until you have either bull worth or a country willing to elect somebody like dennis kucinich,n i'm wondering if it is not all theater to inspire the people to fix this thing. i will very likely vote for president obama again. i am an optimist, and i know he did inherit a terrible situation from not only president bush, but from prior to that as well. but, it is not -- it is not -- voting is not a happy occasion and it should be. i think that, that barack obama is as capable of being a great president as anybody that we have got walking. >> i mean, inherited one of the worst economic parcels imaginable, and he's struggled to deal with that. when you have 10% of americans out of work and this is a crisis we haven't seen in our lifetime. many people feel frustrated that he hadn't delivered on the promise. i feel as a dispassionate outsider, that was that was a big promise to try to deliver on. he was seen as the kind of political messiah, so expectation was far too high, given the state of the economy. >> i would like to see expectation get higher and at the same time to have a v

dennis kucinich thinks he's going to beç the next presiden. believe herman cain was doing this because of his book and this kind of blew up. >> so you think he was trying to sell books and it's caught on he cab presidential contender? >> absolutely. absolutely. >> how do you think he's going to do in iowa is this. >> it interesting. i actually think he's going to do very well in iowa. iowans tend to like to pick the underdog. look at mike huckabee in 2008, he won the iowa caucus. he didn't win the nomination. when you look at barack obama, who was the underdog in 2008, remember barack obama was 30 points hind hillly clinton. she will 45 million cash on hand, he had $3 million cash on hand. iowans are very different in picking the under dog. >> you're absolutely right on that. president corn bread here we go. >> we're going to have to leave it on that note unfortunately. thank you both for joining me this morning. >> on a different note, it hasn't been a really good month for the loaf hans. michael lohan, the father faced charges on domestic vi

i agree that some friendly competition in the primary is a good thing, but you didn't see dennis kucinichrging as one of our front run increase 2008. >> rick: brad, what do you think about the tea party if a moderate like romney ends up getting the nomination and if he does, do you see any chance of a third party candidacy, somebody with more tea party backing coming out and running against mitt romney and president obama? >> first of all, rick, the tea party is a party in name only. they don't field candidates. they don't have a united party organization. so they have more affinity to the republicans than any other party. and they want to beat obama. so i've got to believe that once the republican nominee is selected, tea party supporters will get behind the republican nomineement because they know that ram knee would be much better than the current president we have in and all that obama stands for is everything the tea party is against. >> rick: that's exactly what i hear as i talk with viewers in the chat room here at foxnews.com all week long. they may have some differences of opinio

the congressman who led the delegation, ohio democrat dennis kucinich says he doesn't know muhammad suede. suede is accused of spying on americans who oppose bashar assad's regime. >>> the obama administration is boosting its support for libya's new leadership. secretary of state hillary clinton visited tripoli today and pledged $11 million in aid there. it includes medical care for wounded fighters and help securing weapons that the fear could end up as terrorists. clinton said the aid will help libya with a promising future after 42 years of dictatorship by moammar gadhafi. >>> well, president obama is about to speak to students at a north carolina technical college as he makes his pitch for his jobs bill. the president is trying to convince people that pieces of the bill which were blocked as a whole by congress are what america needs to get the economy going. republicans are attacking the president's trip saying he's campaigning for re-election on the taskpayers' dime. >> he's traveling around on a canadian bus touting american jobs. is that appropriate on the taxpayers' dime since it

and then i think you have dennis sukin itch -- dennis kucinich. who would you rather face?really more concerned with gaining the trust of the people in the ninth district. check out my website joeforcongress2012.com. and then i'll meet you and come talk to you face-to-face. honestly, you lead by serving. most people don't -- you know they think that congressmen don't think that they are supposed to be serving the people. it doesn't happen anymore. and that's what i want to do. >> joe, two-word answer here. who you dikelike in the field right now? >> herman. >> you say werejoe the plumber, appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> joe is not the only media celebrity running for office. rupert boneham is also in the 2012 mix. he is trying to pull a jesse ventura here running as a third party gubernatorial candidate, this time in indiana. and he is joining us live from indianapolis with a big smile. good day to you. how are you doing? >> i'm doing good. >> as always. so let me ask you the first question here. anyone who would want experience -- what kind of experience can you br

he's running as a republican in democrat dennis kucinich's district in ohio. >>> meantime, scott walkerems are trying to give him the boot and vote him out of office. his attempt to stop collective bargaining has made him a target. >>> campaign cash is flowing into the massachusetts race for u.s. senate. elizabeth warren announced her campaign, raised more than $3 million in less than a month. senator scott brown's campaign raised $1.5 million in the same quarter, but the republican already has over $10 million in the bank. >>> a little later this afternoon, michelle obama serves as the jumper in chief. she's trying to help break the guinness world record for the most people doing jumping jacks in one 24-hour period. 20,000 people will need to get involved. of course, she's been very big on getting fit. >>> well, some big democrats are embracing the movement known as occupy wall street, while republicans have begged off comparisons to the tea party. >> do they want the people on wall street to come out of their offices and write them a check? i don't think that's going to happen. so, th

one of the things i've had in the past, i have worked for congressman dennis kucinich. the key policy block of his first presidential campaign. one might think that kucinich and paul are exact opposites, but they're really not in a lot of ways. in fact, i "ron paul. this is not exactly your question. "ron paul very admirably in the book. i think it was a debate in the 2008 presidential primaries when he was running for president. he said, you know, the terrorists up their, nuclear or otherwise, they don't hate us because they hate freedom and they hate what we stand for. they hate the actual activities that we are doing around the world. ron paul said, what was the ," something like they're not out to get as because they want to get this over here. there route to get us because we are already over there. this does get to your question because i think one of the ways, certainly the nuclear terror round to diminish the likelihood of nuclear terror is not only to secure nuclear materials, not only to move toward nuclear weapons abolition, but to try to reduce the motives t

herman cain, with dennis kucinich, as vice president.t: so, your thoughts, and i do not know if you have made them, on the campaign ad itself? caller: repeat that, please. host: of a campaign ad itself? caller: he is doing a great job. i like the way he talks, and everything. host: here is the headline, the story that came out of it from "the new york times." host: atlanta, georgia. go ahead. caller: herman cain in his manager are pandering to a certain type of voter. this is more like a reality show commercial. i wish you would have shown the other herman cain advertisement. i saw it last night, on msnbc. these three guys, one of them was black, were all hitting each other like the three stooges. god help us. host: anthony natalie has this to say about the advertisement -- host: charlotte, n.c., good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead. caller: thank you. i support the commercial. i think it is perfect for the republican party. they need someone like him to run. it would definitely give obama the presidency for another four ye

bargaining rights and over 100,000 people out there and some great leaders like bernie sanders and dennis kucinichus but where was barack obama? have been a supporter of the democratic party but when i look up the wall street bailout could have happened without democrats. most of the people are on a single payer but we didn't get that and this bill could have passed. pat tillman's disgrace could have been pulled off without the help of democrats. so blind faith to the democratic party is a mistake. >> i agree with that. a majority of the democrats that president bush -- and the lot of liberals supported that war too. including the man who became editor of the new york times, and others. we need new leadership and the democratic party needs to change. needs to get in sync where the majority of americans are. of the issues i went through a few minutes ago with the majority of americans, they want stronger laws, they want an end to these wars. majority of americans--a surprising poll when they found the majority of americans not wholly support public employee unions but their right to strike. 72% in

when dennis kucinich said that, we can work with that as we go. there is something going on in america. the republican should think about that. i'm a vietnam veteran, and things work well, they have blueprints in things that they can do to make this work. host: taking away this part, is this good strategy or not? caller: if they cannot pay for it, think about this. but president bush, after 9/11, he said that we should cannot pay for this, so be pragmatic. he is being realistic. [unintelligible] i am an independent. ah likes some of the things that the president is doing. host: we're going to leave it there. tomorrow we are planning coverage of the dedication ceremony of the statue put up by the national memorial project for the dr. martin luther king jr.. this was rescheduled because of weather. not a clock to mark, you have the ability to see that on c- span -- 9:00 tomorrow, you have the ability to see that on c- span. congressman john lewis, and others. when i told -- gwen ifil. if you cannot be by the television, go to your radio, 90.1 fm loc

'd column at the time. and others. we need new leadership. and the democratic party needs to change. needs to get in sync with the majority of americans are at. all those issues that i went over a few minutes ago with the majori
