to the community coalition, to vince from the alliance, this has been a group effort and a group supporting us today. i couldn't be prouder to be part of it. at that point we turn it back to lou gerardo. [ applause ] . the next person that i would like to introduce is supervisor david campos. we talked about 40 hours of meetings but we didn't talk about the hours and hours of telephone calls and constituent meetings and i would say these fellows put out about over 200 hours in the process. david has been an incredible champion for this campus in particular for saint luke's and the need for this area. i didn't know david before i came to this process and i walk away from this process with great add admiration. >> i want to thank and acknowledge many people. i want to give credit where credit is due. lou gerardo. one of the honors that you have is you get to meet and know a lot of people throughout the district that you represent and i have yet to mean anyone who is more impressive in terms of your commitment and intelligence and true sense of dedication. i think mike ferrel said it well, you are a treasure here in san francisco. now that this

others are also witnesses they don't know that the people at guantanamo were picked up on a battlefield they were sold for bounty used by northern alliance people they don't know these facts anymore because there is no coverage in the united states the white house has said that it's still interested in closing guantanamo but i think it's delegated be a few other people and it's also thrown up a tear and said well congress is stopping us from doing anything my former colleagues. and. innocent people who are wrongly hold the president and can get in and make sure that those people are released and sent home they don't perry pose a danger those people who are deaf. they want to die if they can't get out of guantanamo the u.s. courts have no authority to order a release of someone who's in guantanamo they're in the hands of the president the president has the authority to do it congress has said he could do it only with difficulty but he has the authority to do it he needs to step up to the plate and get it done we'll call it already today we're going to be taking an in-depth look at the plight of guantanamo detainees next hour the late stat

washington had negotiated successfully for alliances with the indians in so far as they were nonaggression pacts. we don't shoot at you, you don't shoot at us so washington was certainly a fan of alliances. his concern was that the u.s. did not have a navy, the u.s. did not have a standing army, that we would be sucked into some sort of european war that might come over on our shores and not be able to conduct it and so he uses this term for 20 years and then he says something along the lines that at which time we will be free to act with impunity. in other words after we have established ourselves, we have an economy, we have a navy, we have an army, then we will be able to say to these people buzz off, we don't want to be part of you, we are not going to follow your rules here or there or whatever. he thought until we get to that point we were going to have to avoid any alliances all because it might suckers into something that would destroy us. >> host: y 48? >> guest: we were going to do 50. i thought a couple of the overlap and then i began to think when you go on -- this is so mercenary -- when you go on amazon you look seven somethin

crisis washington says though it won't tolerate the deal despite its heralded alliance with his number back. over again if you just joined us it's kevin owen here at r.t. tonight very good to have your company now first off and as you just heard protesting against abuse most of them of a prisoners on hunger strike tonight according to lawyers for some inmates several prisoners is said to be so sick they're coughing up blood while others are being hospitalized and force fed through choosing this stomach as scotto artie's at report for more on what's happening how the marina joining us on the line there from new york what more do we know about this it sounds extremely disturbing what are the details. here's what we know so far more than one hundred on top of the detainees at the camp six prison there reportedly began their hunger strike approximately three weeks ago to protest what their lawyers say are conditions of confinement and the alleged confiscation and desecration of their personal items including the koran now the prisoners more of how for whom have been cleared for release told their attorneys that since early february get most already ha

at the center or periphery. the transitional countries, egypt, libya, i think they're not convinced of the value proposition of an alliance with united states. that is a problem for us. and of course our adversaries, iran, and groups affiliated with iran, have this perception, which i think is wrong, of the united states in being at some sort of irreversible decline. if they wait, we will eventually disengage and they do not need to worry about what we might do. this visit to the middle east needs to be a fresh start for president obama. i think there has to be a renewed commitment to the region. it has to start worrying less about public opinion -- hear maybe i defer to my colleagues in saying, i think it would be a mistake to look at this visit in terms of the public aspect, public diplomacy -- i think we worry too much about public opinion in the region, and it will impact public opinion. we are not in the interest of our allies as much. we need to go and talk to these governments about a shared interests and convince them that we are going to act to advance our interests. if we do that and our actions follow that, but publics will come around as well. when it co

crisis washington says it won't tolerate the deal though despite its heralded alliance with islam about. if you just joined us for a good evening it's kevin owen here at r.t. tonight our top story that as you just heard protesting against abuse most of them a bay prisoners or on hunger strike according to lawyers for some inmates there several prisoners is said to be so sick indeed that coughing up blood while others are being hospitalized and force fed through chews in this stomachs authorities are downplaying the strike however saying no incidents of abuse have been recorded but jip political analyst ryan dawson who's written extensively on the guantanamo says these are the first strikes of this type they really have very little other recourse other than i wonder strike is not the first hunger strike they had it before in two thousand and five when the u.s. is denying that this strike is as large as it is in downplaying the strike saying it's only a few inmates by they've had at least five are being force fed through tubes in their stomachs it could be far worse than that however the irrational way they're. we're going to just force feed these peopl

at the court today. california attorney general kamala harris, who supports overturning the gay marriage ban. and austin nimocks, counsel for the alliance defending freedom, which supports proposition 8. thank you both for joining uswant to start by asking you both this question. why is the right to marry or same-sex marriage considered to be a constitutional issue and not a social one? attorney general harris. >> first of all the united states supreme court since 1880 has described marriage as a fundamental right. what we know is that it is based on some very fundamental notions around which we crafted our constitution and our country. the fundamental notion of justice, of privacy, and of equality. and the discussion then before the court was rightly before the court to discuss the issue of same-sex marriage in the context of those 14 cases over a century of discussion about what is fundamental, what is most sacred of the rights that we have and therefore should not be taken away and therefore should not be deprived to any citizen. >> ifill: mr. nimocks. well, i think when you look at the history of the supreme court and the precedent about marriage, it's been very clear that the supreme court is always talking a

a powerful alliance of developing economies which experts say even in its current configuration may become the world's wealthiest union of states in thirty years. thanks for joining us here at our to today u.s. officials at guantanamo bay prison have a knowledge that more prisoners have joined the hunger strike over alleged mistreatment by three captives now in hospital with ten detainees being force fed defense lawyers say the majority of the one hundred sixty six detainees are refusing food or accusing the officials of trying to downplay the actual number at this report not whiteys guy in a church you can. despair among detainees grows now even their lawyers are denied direct access to them attorneys say they had a visit scheduled for early next week with one of the clients who lost thirty pounds since the strike began at the beginning of february that visit was approved by the military but the attorneys say they've just been informed by the authorities that they cannot visit the client because the military flight scheduled for next week was canceled also most recently the navy decided to discontinue commercial flights to the camp so tourney's are really struggling to fin

us started on the path to or towards peace and at least getting the process jump started again and a very important part of that was reaffirming that connection that we have to our land and to the alliance and the friendship between our two countries once that's in place i do believe because of the president's lead on many issues including the palestinian issue and the other issues you touched on including iran so would you say that obama and prime minister have managed to calm their personal dislike disagreements that you know that have been piling up all these years and president obama has been in office it's difficult for me to comment about personal issues between two leaders but i think that both are beyond that and the more important statement they had to be made was the commitment of each country to each other and not a lawyer which goes far beyond budgets and military strategy and it goes to the core of who we are as a people i certainly as a person who grew up in the united states and now live in israel in the parliament here see the importance of that and i think the president is doing a wonderful job in terms of reaffirming that and if that's the one concrete result of this v

at the same time so there is no question wellington had an impact on the thinking. >> curious if you could tell us a little bit about the romantic thing that i learned about in school about the alliance between andrew jackson and his pirates in the battle of new orleans? what is true and what is not? >> it is a very interesting story and i am sure those who know lot more about it than i do bus what i do at tow is a earlyn jackson's time in louisiana he wanted nothing to do with fire. he had some unpleasant terms that he used to describe them. howparaer, jackson was nothing not pragmatic. the pirates brought a number of different skon intimate knowledge of a very y oomplicated watery terrain. i think for reasons of strategy, reasons of personal, the srgple reason he wanted to prevail, he made a bargain with the pirates. i doncomm think he was ever hap about it. maybe he was happy after they acquitted themselves extremely well in the battle of new orleans but andrew jackson did not hold them in high regard but found pragmatic solution to a problem of nodding of meited nodding of intelligence, nodding of ugon things to it. >> i see a question here. >> dolley madison 11. the way you desm

the first i've heard about sudanese gang members perhaps being recruited for work overseas. >> can someone look at it and let us know? we have heard a number worsening gang trends. unification of prison street gangs, alliances with drug- trafficking cartels, rapid cell phone use in prison, increasing use of a female facilitators. does that all ring true? >> yes and it has for a number of years. >> is it growing or decreasing? >> i think it has grown over the last few years. i spent time in california, a number of gang members ended up with the pelican bay in northern california and ran their gangs from inside the walls. >> thank you, mr. chairman. director mueller, welcome. thank you for coming before the subcommittee today and i thank you for your service to the country and for your professionalism in running the fbi. the fbi operates the national and state criminal and background check system. we have to enforece the laws that we have. even the momentary glance at the laws we have proves there are holes in our system that even with adequate enforcement would not keep guns out of the hands that seek to do us harm. i'm focused on the fact that those on the terror watch list do not raise a flag in the system

the phrase "entangling alliances to washington." >> guest: jefferson. >> host: jefferson used it in his first inaugural. washington's was -- [inaudible] >> guest: i think, though, sir, if you look at the draft -- i could be wrong, but i think if you look at the draft of the speech, i'm pretty sure entangling alliance is in the draft too. either way, they both shared that view that at least for the time being we could not form an entangling alliance with somebody ls else. >> host: what was the gilded age? >> guest: guilded age, roughly 1870 to 1900. it's, um, it's a derogatory term. all these people were getting rich kind of at the expense of everybody else. the fact is during the gilded age the wages of the average american worker skyrocketed. people got to be better off faster than at any other time in human history. it was really quite remarkable. and this is all, almost all due to the efforts of people like vanderbilt, carnegie, rockefeller, morgan, you know, the so-called robber barons who i think were, in fact, captains of industry. >> host: and thomas henderson, fyi, just tweeted in: what is your view of the robber barrens? do you want to expound on that at all? >> guest: su

alliances. it is not easy. that brings us to the short game, where egypt, right now, is facing critical economic and security challenges. we are looking at a possibility of a breakdown into chaos, economic crisis that would have huge ramifications. i think the united states has to be playing a role urging all parties to compromise politically. president morsi is trying to proceed in the political transition and run the country just for the brotherhood behind him. as we have seen in these results, it is not enough. the brotherhood cannot run the country on its own. they are going to have to have more people in their political tent, more allies. it is a mistake to treat president morsi as though he is the new mubarak. president morsi and his small group are going to be in charge of the country for years and decades to come -- i think the united states should have in mind that if the democratic system does develop and remains open and elections continue to be free and competitive, there is likely to be turnover. people we see today in the opposition we are likely to see in high government positions in the future. the united states should be
