writing an african american character. you have to think about, too, this whole idea of political correctness has both an up side and a very bad down side. one of those is people tend to be very cautious and not want to try things like that. i eventually through my relationship with danny glover pulled it out of my drawers -- out of the drawer, desk drawer, and read it and danny was instrumental in saying, let's do this. let's just do this. but, again, it was me working with some african american actors and i actually had it vetted by august wilson, read it and checked it out for me and there's another fellow who wrote soldier's story, charles fuller, took a look at it for me. i wanted to make sure my bases were covered. but this new play, what i did was, i feel comfortable writing the characters, but you are never sure. one thing that happened was steven anthony jones helped me a great deal with the african american character. we took it to sundance and what happens when you go to sundance is you bring some actors and som

american community. i know it is hard for us to appreciate this today but at that time, chinese-american organizations were subjected to surveillance and harassment of the federal government, by the fbi as well elements of the chinese american community. laura has been and was a heroine in furthering these causes in the fight. ever since those days she has continued to engage in progressive causes and community service. she has been involved in significant groundbreaking research into chinese-american history. as an aside, she supported her late husband mark li, after whom the chinatown branch library is named. laura's name also adorns the heart of research and learning. i wonder -- i want to thank laura for generously donating time money and materials, to the chinese historical society, seven cisco public library, and so many other organizations. i happen to hold in my hands a chapter of an anthology called chinese-american history and perspective called born lucky. we are lucky to have benefit from you

i'm an american, not an african-american.utions, here's a few solutions for you sean, as we go forward and leave this show. we need fight against the over regulations and the policies that are killing black people. the lone remaining jim crow law in america has to go. the american black caucus votes for t. project labor agreement, they need to go. they discriminated against women and minorities. guess who obama claims he defends? women. we need to stop preaching to the choir and go into the communities. why is it that blacks have been voting democrat for "x" amount of years? blacks have been voting democrat since 1936 because we stopped competing. >> kevin? >> everyone in this room, okay, a closeed mouth has no voice. we are going to raise our voices and be heard. women call me names, it's a badge of honor had for me, i take it, twirl it around and spin it and do everything i have to do with it. you call me an uncle tom sellout, i know i have won the debate. my ideas are superior. >> if anyone else is criticized for called th

schools were americanized and the american doctrine that permeated japanese schools vanished. large land holdings were broken up into 2-1/2 acre plots and deeded to farmers. the first elections were held in 1846 and for the first time women were allowed to vote. but this american inspired reformation was not born solely of the goodness of the american heart. washington felt national security in the midst of a cold war with the soviet union would be best served in the far east by a strong japan. japan was being groomed as the counter balance to the communist threat in the soviet union. the cold threat created a void that would be the starting point of japan's economic miracle. >> this occurred within the context of the cold war. see after world war ii, the entire american society and its economy focused on the need of the cold war. so we organized our research, our developments, our production in relationship to military needs. to stop the expansion of the soviet union. and this meant then that we were diverting our resources to the production of military goods. and this of cou

i'm joined by mr salim jamali former chief of the iraqi intelligence services american office he's an extraordinary man who played a key role in providing the iraqi government with intelligence right before the invasion mr solomon you destroyed all documents after the war was over you burned them at a safe house in baghdad but i'm sure there is still a lot of information that you committed to memory let's start with the pretext that the u.s. used to justify the invasion they claim that iraq had ties with al qaeda is it true or was it just a pretext. of course america did everything to prepare public opinion inside the u.s. and internationally for the war against iraq there were two major parts to this work u.s. try to convince everyone that iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that it had close ties with al qaeda and terrorists in general in the one nine hundred eighty s. we did have certain relations with some organizations but in the ninety's we received orders to stop all contact with any organization that had terrorist connections talking about ties with al qaeda george bush s

>>host: we're talking with american university professor friedman rethinking anti-americanism. here is the cover of the book you are watching booktv on c-span2. >> if you tried to generate as say government silicon valley has the answers if you try to explore and ignite better innovation in your company, a silicon valley has the answers and phone the entrepreneur standpoint how was on japan your ship different which it distinctly is? of which is based on failure warning from one experiences but also to recognize you to be a part of the process to adopt other people's ideas but the bottom line is there is the authenticity that is accepted. and men in new what it's been that a lot of the questions i get about this book or y o i wrote the book passage of this subtitle kim big government ever be stopped? the first question i get is can it to? that their risk of discouraging you from buying the of book i will let you ower is yes but it is possible it can be stopped but first of all, there other questions that have to be addressed and in my book it is a story about one of the politic

advised by americans. >> great. the gentleman who initially stood the first time. >> hi, bob adler. thank you very much. you demonstrate impressively being informed, highly intelligent, but i would like to ask you to address a different framework. we, the people, were onboard for the first afghan war because of three very obvious, specific things; 9/11, a determination that bin laden and his associates were responsible for 9/11, and as was just mentioned, the taliban government refused to give them up. so our, the mission of the first afghan war, i would suggest, was to can kill or capture bin laden and his closest associates. that war ended when he left afghanistan. and/or when we realized he left. the second afghan war began immediately afterwards, and that was to diffuse our embarrassment of having utter orally failed. -- utterly failed. and so all of this about counterinsurgency and phone usage in afghanistan and girls learning to read were not why we, the people, went into afghanistan. and we would be just as h

let -- as americans, let us be committed to developing american energy on american soil to be able to create american jobs, put americans back to work and be able to create our own energy certainty at this time, the future of this country, the future for our chern, relie on those commonsense solutions. we're going to be putting them forward in this house and we'll call on the american people and the senate and the president to join us in that effort. with that, i yield back. mr. johnson: i thank the gentleman from colorado. i would just inquire from the speaker how much time i have remaining. the speaker pro tempore: three minutes remaining. mr. johnson: i yield to the gentleman from new york, the chair of the natural gas and manufacturing caucus. >> i appreciate the gentleman yielding. i join this conversation tonight coming a it from a perspective of being the chair of the natural gas caucus and co-chair of the manufacturing caucus here in washington, d.c., caucuses that have co-chairs on a bipartisan basis. we're working together to try to figure out how to become energy independen

i irish american. i didn't know what a pure american was. none of my friends were pure americans. a lot of my friends were lebanese and from syria. i had yewish and irish american friends. all of our identities were mixed. my sense of being american was being in a mix of things. >> margaret could you also reflect in a prior conversation you talked about your father had a sense of where he came from and it was a little more difficult for your mom to articulate that? >> sure. mother's side is irish american my father come from a different heritage. he is a genealogy. he traced his family all the way back to the times when they moved from spain to a region of france. that's where his family came from as peasants in 1850. and for generations, his family members had been going back to this place to visit their distant cousins. they knew exactly where it was. i was thinking that was a year after my irish american family came here. why don't my irish american family know this information. i want to try to find out what it is. i didn't know at that time what i was undertaking. i heard it

there's an important message behind it this country may not have another defining moment like the american revolution but through each generation our actions can serve a defining purpose. sure it's easy to skip a newspaper headline about occupy the f.c.c. for example although it's comprised of a group of concerned citizens who are working through the legal system toward more transparency from wall street and lobbyists or what about the rolling jubilee plan to buy debt for pennies on the dollar but instead of collecting it dissolving it altogether freeing the young people of this country from student loan debt the same can be said about the recent ships and social thought with the last with last year's elections ending the drug war the legalization of same sex marriage we may not all agree with these issues but change is underway these are all signs of an evolution of ideas and a revolution of our values the important thing to remember is that change and progress and revolution it starts with in every one of us and that means giving a damn otherwise become just like ben winkle digging your

i've never talked to an american diplomat, especially a former american diplomat, who thought it did. one of them, away david miller, who is one of the people we dealt with and has been involved for difficult candidate, described the united states as acting as israel's lawyer. he was in fact quoting henry kissinger, who should know. the documentary record i cite in this book shows that american diplomats time and again took positions as a result of careful prior coordination with the israeli side. how you get to a solution in that situation is hard for know understand. as i've said, sometimes these positions were more proisraeli than those of israeli diplomats. thes. from okay. david onwards the united states posed as an unbiased intermediary but generally operated in israelis interests and to desystemic detriment of the palestinians and in my view, systemic detriments to the possibility of just and lasting peace in the region. in, let me say that a number of broad patterns contributed to this skewed american poise. palestinian weakness i have not talked about. i wrote a whole book ab

and there are a series of components of what it takes to be an american or become an american. and it starts with a list of the pillars of american exceptionalism, which are along the line of that list, freedom of speech, religion, the press, freedom of assembly and keep and bear arms, property rights and through our judicial branch, there is no double jeopardy. you are tried by a jury of your peers and face your accuser. the powers that are not enumerated in the constitution deinvolve to the states or people respectfully. all of these are components of american exceptionalism and another component is free capitalism and the rule of law. it says in our constitution, the constitution itself is the supreme law of the land. and we must abide by the consfution, the language in it. and the language in the constitution isn't something that can be redefined away from us, but instead, mr. speaker, it is a written contract, it's a contract from the generations that ratified the constitution and the subsequent amendments to the succeeding generations. our charge is to preserve, defend an

in addition, african-american median income is one tenth of that of white americans. when you add all of the dislocations and the economy, not all of them caused in any way by the recession but a big part of them, global competition and other things in terms of u.s. manufacturing of business. african-americans are usually the last hired and the first fired. >> bill: do you really believe it's a skin color issue rather than a performance issue? >> bill, i have been convinced all my life -- i have been in business all of my life. i have been quite successful as you might know. but i will tell you this. there are thousands, millions of african-americans who have the talent, the work ethic, the integrity, the ingenuity to be successful in jobs or in business but you have to admit that any time you have a situation for 50 years, dating back to the civil rights movement, when african-americans were making huge gains and fair employment and housing and legislation was enacted we spent more money on education than any time in the african-american history, there is something h

the american victory was total the casualty figures speak for themselves one hundred american soldiers were killed and on the iraqi side it's estimated there were between four and five thousand victims most of them civilians. the battle left a city in ruins where death continue to take its toll. and their offensive it's thought the u.s. troops used white phosphorous bombs and depleted uranium weapons banned by all international conventions. to new passenger is not administrator at the general hospital. since the battle of fallujah ended has kept records of the children born with congenital malformation. for him there's no doubt the americans were responsible for this tragedy. for me the administrator's office becomes an empty chamber of horrors. up i learnt that the war is far from over in fact it's still going on for the stigmata are there and they're evolving in two thousand and five we know to a spectacular increase in genetic malformations a new born babies how large the. file. voters only show a tiny part of the reality just for the month of january if we recorded forty three case

. >> eric: the question was should americans be afraid going forward. he said no, ball games and continue to run your marathon. really quickly, ed henry asked the most important question of all. >> dana: the question. do we have it? it was a great question. i'm offended on ed henry. [ laughter ] >> dana: my assistant has it to read for you. >> eric: i have two pages of notes from the press conference. he asked -- i'm assume talking about the benghazi. i'm quoting him, not familiar with this notion that anybody has been blocked our job is to make sure that embassy are safe and secure. if you have time to be up to speed on all these other things including a phone call to n.b.a. basketball that she gay and coming out, mr. president i think you have time to be briefed on allegedly blocked by the administration to talk about what they know. >> dana: so, juan, we are very glad that you are here. >> good. >> dana: you have covered many press conferences for how long, decades. >> i think you could greet your guests more politely. i would say overall consensus,

jobs or american worker jobs? >> perhaps arturo has a comment and i know time is running out but i will state this issue has been studied and looked at exhaustively. senator feinstein has been personally involved in a number of efforts out there to really demonstrate, are we replacing u.s. jobs here? do we really do do this but we are just not paying enough for something is wrong so therefore we are turning away these workers. time and time again study after study several cited in my written testimony that is not the case. they will not do this work and without this workforce in food production will -- in crops will be left to unharvested in the u.s., period. >> thank you. >> thank you mr. chairman. i will note at the outset that i regret i'm not able to be here at the hearing on friday. i join my colleague senator cornyn down in west texas visiting with the victims of that horrific accident and i want to thank my colleagues and the millions of americans who lifted up the citizens of west who have been suffering t

because black americans, low skilled americans are unwilling to work. there unwilling to work at the cut rate given to illegal immigrants. they're highly unlikely to complain to osha. much of the competition is concentrated in major metropolitan areas such as new york, los angeles, chicago, but also enroll areas and the southeast states such as georgia, north carolina, -- in rural areas such as the southeast states such as georgia, north carolina. when the commission conducted its investigation originally, the unemployment rate for blacks without a high school diploma was 12%. ,oday it has more than doubled 24.6%. that clearly shows that we have an oversupply of low skilled labor relative to demand and that bodes ill for all workers in such class, particularly black americans. research shows that 40% of the 18 point percentage decline in employment rates of black males is attributable to illegal immigration. that is hundreds of thousands of blacks without jobs, which translates to hundreds of thousands who can't pay taxes and don't support their familie

i'm an american citizen. what am i? one guy on a podium. you cannot achieve a change in the status quo or deliberation if you don't have a clear strategy or tactics adopted for the strategy. i would suggest that while certainly international law says that people under occupation, which the pal stipes in the occupied territories are have right to resist, be careful in thinking about what ways they resist because they are not resisting a colonial occupation, the french occupation in algeria, whyeud wi the metro poll. you are dealing with a society which sees itself as a victim, profoundly, deeply, jeep knew winly. whatever the reality is. i argue against the perception in the book in the introduction, but that's not the appointment. the point is not what i think that israel is not a victim, but it's what israelis think, and if they they they are vick fills, violence reenforces exactly the wrong tendencies in israeli society. i think the tactics have to be very carefulfully chosen. if, in order to be effective, they have to be moral, legal, an

side, the american line. the reason why she was going back so quickly and so often as she was carried letters that they had in washington's army. so there was some trickery they did. she would not tell them who the american person was. and a number of accounts, all is said as washington spent the night with her in the morning divulge to the person was. she was proof against every -- everything we tried and that brings up a good point about how washington saw a torture as something we should rise above and he wanted to get past the barbaric wars of the past and raise our level of conduct. as the revolution wears on, i'm more opposed to saving american lives. that's in this instance is started racing when it comes down to if i need to do this to save american lives was a different story. >> i think the library is telling us we should bring this to a close. i would like to announce a director at "zero dark 30" what do the movie version. [applause] >> and now, boris friedman talks about the life and work of human

but the majority of american people say it should just take five years to become an american citizen.be one of those silicon valley bigwigs can design something that works. i'm in a musical mood. the ballad of john boehner is a sad and loan lone some song. the ballad of jacki robinson is heroic and inspiring. "42", the movie hits theaters this weekend and we'll look at that movie and the man it portrays and the ballad of jay-z's cuba trip is a real song. eyes roll back into their back of their head every time they have a chance to link the president to wrappers. it's thursday, it's "the war room," and we'll be right back. >> do you think that there is any chance we'll see this president even say the words "carbon tax"? >> with an open mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. you know who is coming on to me now? you know the kind of guys

and that's the american dream. that's the american dream for all of us, for our children, that we can have a better life. i want to read now from president ronald reagan. again, many of us are very roud of ronald reagan. i'll give illinois their due. he's from there originally. the reality is he's a californian. and you look at the statue here in statuary hall, he's ear has -- here as a californian. so i'm very proud of him, as a democrat, very proud of him. i say that and i saw my democratic friends, they get a little nervous about that, the reality is i'm very proud of him. i didn't agree with everything, obviously, but i agreed with his humanity and i think we'll see that from some of these quotes. i think that's what made reagan a great person. and a great president. was that he didn't stick to some of the tired dogma of others. instead he led us forward as a great president. i quote him. unless the united states makes a more sensible and efficient system for admitting legal migrants who come to take advantage

military presence in the region so you have actually had american leaders saying this openly that kind of talk has died down and these people were slammed in washington for saying such things but anyone who's been anywhere in the world and knows how how much dissonance there is between the american position on this issue and the position of literally almost every other country on the face of the globe knows that this is true and i want to switch the focus a little bit i want to talk about you know without palestine being unified obviously this this makes things even more difficult i'm wondering if you cannot make conditions continue to worsen in gaza in the west bank in the occupied territories is it would we be safe to expect there to be a more deep in rift between hamas and fatah. well i mean i think that the rift between hamas and fatah is is criminal and it involves behavior by both leaderships that is irresponsible and a betrayal of the higher national interest and there was a poll recently by drucilla media group in the occupied territories which showed that an overwhelming major

my parents are americans by choice and i am an american by chance. >> to the american people, i would simply like to say the to be threads that wants weaved as part of a larger democracy and the fabric that we know as america and that we are looking forward to the future, what is going to look like a simply an expression bruited injustice, hard work -- rooted family,ce, hard work, the ideas that all of america can relate to. >> i would like to go back to fixing the economy. it is important, not just for us, but also for the nation at large. in that regard, i want to go back to the issue of housing. housing must be addressed. it represents a significant component of our economic recovery. ther way to many families, majority of, are white, we are overly represented, latinos and lacked -- african-americans. >> this conversation is historic and it is historic because it does not just encompass immigration. what i was heartened to hear today was that we discussed the issue of economic and power meant of this community. this is the economic engine of this country. the faster that the rest o

who are italian and proudly american.e biggest dangers we're facing right now is this reductionist narrative. where people are trying to kind of be reduced to the sum of the labels that we sling around their neck. to just muslim or just chechnyian or pakistani or sikh. i think actually this dehumanizing narrative is in the heart of fundamentalism. what my character does in this film is he's trying to reject fundamentalism in all its forms, which simplifies us from complicated human beings to very characterized you know, people. >> as far as the different tweens british and american society. because britain has seen their share of terrorist attacks, you've said from across the pond, you look to america as an example of how to better absorb multiple ethnicities and folks with different backgrounds and heritages. but one of the things that the boston bombing does is to call into question how effective we have been in terms of helping people make a home for themselves here. what have we done, what have we done differently, ha

if we free the american worker, if we free the american entrepreneur through a tax code that the american people can understand, we will bring a new era of prosperity to america, the likes we have not seen in my lifetime. with that, mr. speaker, i thank you for being with me here today and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2013, the gentleman from iowa, mr. king, is recognized for the remainder of the hour as the designee of the majority leader. mr. king: thank you, mr. speaker. it's my privilege to address you here on the floor of the house of representatives. it's a bit of a frustration not to be picking up after mr. woodall in support of the fair tax, although i want to let you know that i have long been a supporter of the fair tax before it had a name, before it had a bill, before it had a concept. i discussed it in my home business perspective because starting a business in 1975, employing people and seeing what happens when you have a tax system that punishes productivity in america and doesn't tax consumpt

>> the fact is, we had four dead americans.because of a protest or guys out one night who decided to go kill some americans? what difference at this point does it make? we've got to get our act together between the administration and congress. i've said i take responsibility. nobody is more committed to getting this right. i believe in transparency. i believe in taking responsibility and i have done so. >> republicans, you sure this is the political fight you want to pick? really? maybe it's time for a new report. joining me now is congresswoman carolyn maloney, democrat from new york, and patricia murphy of citizen jane's politics. thank you both for being here tonight. >> thank you, reverend. >> congresswoman, your colleagues already have a plan to take hillary down going back to gaubenghazi. what do you make of it? >> first of all, the loss of american lives were tragic. we can all agree with that. but this report does nothing to advance our insight, our understanding. it's a partisan attack. they are turning a terrorist att

and that's another thing about americans. they are not really big on holier-than-thou. >> now that is a g2v aircraft... >> hockenberry: personalizing the attacks was part of an approach that was immediately embraced and amplified by friendly media. >> and that is the former vice- president getting off that plane and into a town car-- by the way, not a hybrid. >> he equates the failure to recycle aluminum cans with the holocaust. >> he wants to be a super hero action figure, and... >> hockenberry: myron ebell was acting on a broad strategy he helped create more than a decade ago. in this 1998 action plan, "victory will be achieved," it said, when the public "recognizes uncertainties in climate science." today at the washington, d.c., headquarters of the competitive enterprise institute, a free market think tank, you can see myron ebell's philosophy proudly displayed on the walls. >> they're all cei authors... what we're fighting is the expansion of government. and there are many pretexts for expanding government. >> hockenberr

>>host: wear and were american policy makers aware of that? favor of wear by the late 1941 the a telegram was sent that came to the rabbi head of the american jewish congress to the state department providing evidence of what we call a the final solution for the holocaust everybody believed it of course, but information was piling up and lots of other sources by late 41 heller was engaged in a horrific campaign of slaughtering jews. november 1941 the head of the american jewish confederacy held a press conference it is a great irony of history that this press conference releasing the views of the holocaust was not held by any official of the united states government the reason was the state department did not want to get involved to these controversial information of the slaughter of jews but throughout the war it was an obstacle are a sticking point* to the extent he had to override his own state department and ultimately the secretary to the treasury to go around to late 1943 to get the refugee board established to help rescue the imperil je

we carry a great faith in the american people. on behalf of the sandy hook promise, i would like to say thank you to president obama, vice president biden for their leadership and standing strong safer america. i would like to say thank you to the senators for legislation that would keep guns out of hand and save lives. they stood by us right from the beginning. they were with us. we will not be defeated. we are not defeated. we have no other choice. killeday more people are in this country because of gun violence. stronger. we leave washington hoping that others, both here and across the country, will join us in making that more senators will takeit begins, our hearts are broken. our spirits is not. thank you. it is now my great pleasure to introduce the president of the united states of america, barack obama. >> good job. >> a few months ago, in response to too many tragedies, including the shootings of a u.s. congressman, gabrielle giffords, 20 schoolchildren and their teachers, we took up the cause of protecting our people fro

support of continuing occupation implicit in effect the united states is supporting it and american support of continued settlement expansion that makes a two state solution impossible. people all over the region from the middle east from the united states but also in danger's the existing peace treaties between israel and these two arab countries and you know no i have to agree with you on that i think that the stability of the region the whole issue we've come to realize that it's all almost contingent upon the resolution of palestine or resolving the palestinian question but unfortunately i mean if i could i would i would i would ari i would argue that there are other big problems in the region that are not related i mean the problem of democratization in the arab world the problem of the arab gulf autocracies the issues between iran and the arab countries these are things that are related and i hate to cut you i hate to cut you off but unfortunately we're out of time but that was a rashid khalidi author and professor at columbia university thank you so much for joining us really

in other words, african-americans are no longer second-class citizens. in some of the original teachings of elijah muhammad, he flips everything on its head and says the caucasian race is actually an evil, demonic race, and that it's the african-americans, it's the blacks that are going to rise up and bring peace and justice into the world, so we see it turned on its head. now a couple of key players that we want to look at, wallace d. fard, a number of different names- this is one of the more common ones i had- the original first prophet of the black muslim movement, sometimes described as a mysterious peddler. but his key- he's an inspired gentleman- he understands this and begins this quest towards self-esteem and empowerment. now of course, a person- i'm sure you're probably familiar with elijah muhammad. he, of course, is taught by fard and becomes the great leader, and is the founder of nation of islam- a very, very charismatic leader. and we're going to have an interview with abdus salam. and in fact, as we move through these, of course, malcolm x

in free seat, the own thing that's un-american is calling someone un-american because you never hear people say that's very unbelgian of you. all of this for profit healthcare is uncanadian. but they sound extremely ungerman. that sounds natural. i'm not going to call our continued treatment of the prisoners at guantanamo bay prison un-american. even though gitmo has been operating too long. it costs too much. only mean people seem to like it. it weakens our nation. it is racist and it inspires hate and makes no sense yet it keeps begun going. it is like the o'reilly factor but with cages. obama ran for president saying if he was elected, he would close it. the american people said i would vote for that guy and he got elected and tried to close it. the republicans said no way. democrats said no way so obama fought back bay saying okay. it was like watching first term clinton trying to let's gos serve in the military. you wouldn't know this from tv news but the about president's office in charge of shutting down gitmo shut itself down in january. lots of our republican friends are moc

that is truly american and american gospel music. we know the early founders, thomas dorsey, mahalia jackson, and now today kirk franklin,olanda adams, among so many, and those influenced by gospel music, al green, elvis presley, aretha franklin, little richard, buddy holly among many. jazzy jordan understands that and is now the head of the jordan western group a film and production house in washington, d.c. a brilliant businessman he had a great love of gospel music, we were grateful for the group known as r.c.a. inspiration. mr. jordan was the founding board member of the gospel music heritage foundation, co-chair with gospel music advocate mr. davis of my istrict. he's an executive producer for gold platinum, grammy, stellar award winning projection. throughout his career he served as a creative producer, marketted and promoted many award winning c.d.'s that included kirk franklin and as well worked with p.j. "jazzy" and the fresh prince, will smith. oh, he knows music. and to tell you that he does he he has engaged and worked wi

embarrassing example of torture that america had so the last thing that the british or americans want to come out of guantanamo bay shadowrun who can shed some light on the torture that led to that catastrophic mistake what is it that sucker element is that other detainees doesn't know exactly what he knows busies told me he was in background he was one of the first five prisoners held by the americans in background and he was taken there just before new year two thousand and one and libby had just been taken and the americans at the time thought he was a big time al-qaeda person which he was and he was never a member of al qaida so the americans were abusing him to try to get him to make statements shakha was taken from the cage where he was being held and diagram into the room where libby was being abused he saw the people who did that you can identify some of those people the british were present and. at that time and he can tell you a whole lot about what was going on in terms of the abuse or velvety now libby can't speak for himself because he was sent back to libya where he acco

first of all i want to say that i'm a man, not a color. >> i'm an american, not an african-american.utions here are solutions for you sean as we go forward and leave this show. we need to fight in niece communities against the overregulations and policies that are killing black people. the lone remaining jim crow law in america has to go. the congressional black caucus votes for david -- project labor agreements they need to go. sean, discriminating against women and minorities. guess who obama claims he defends, women. tell end of the day we need to stop preaching to the choir and we need to go into these communities. you ask why is it that blacks have been voting democrat for x amount of years we have been voting since 1936 because we stopped competing. >> everyone in this room a closed mouth has no voice. we are going to raise our voices and be heard. i don't care, when they call me names, it's a badge of doggone honor for me, okay? crawling around and spinning and do everything i have to do with it. if you call me uncle tom i know i have won the debate. i know i have won the deba

snipers were african-american.ehow there is a collective shaming that becomes part of it. part of the immigrant narrative in the u.s. has been this we come and we build and we love the country. perhaps even more than domestically born americans. >> right. >> i could just, i could feel and hear that from the uncle. >> i understand, i understand what he was saying. because he sees how things happen in this country. how whole groups of people get blamed for the acts of individuals, especially when you're in a minority community. interesting about this particular case, of course, because i don't hear peter king wanted to conduct surveillance of chechen communities. islam becomes the one drop. we have a one drop rule. if you have that one drop, you're now a suspect. this is how you became a dark-haired person, dark-skinned person because you had that one drop. so there is -- i'm looking interestingly to see if there will be an attempt to redeem or make separation. it's the older brother who was the islamist who dragged

public and beyond wm you think this will change american foreign policy. i'm afraid and that is the basic problem the basic problem the basic problem is american foreign policy we create. and here american terrorists every day of the week and as long as we can we can recreate them we're going to we're going to have to suffer the way we do we we must stop invading and bombing and overthrowing governments and torturing people and stopped eating and him american terrorists i say antiemetic there is because we can prevent the creation of all terrorists but we can at least. stop those who are motivated by anti american feelings against us foreign policy that is the main task at hand for american citizens max just to reply that i really don't think that there are going to be any fundamental changes in u.s. foreign policy should it change the sharon should it change no no i don't believe that it that it should change i mean the obama administration when you add it on secretary kerry and secretary hagel these are people who are very reluctant to deploy u.s. forces

we were the first muslim american organization to make it very clear that there is no concept of holy war in islam that there is no such thing as jihad against the infidel where you take a sword and try to convert the word now why is that important because the word islamic terrorism to me is an oxymoron i'm coming to exactly what you're asking me but the point is these differences will already exist that all of those will exist in the muslim community in america today in fact is asking the same very question that why are some things labeled terrorism worse is another which is not but more importantly the discussion that is going on in the dinner tables on the dinner tables these days among muslim families is that why is it that always a non muslim when somebody goes to sandy hook that they're all of is insane but when a muslim commits an act of terrorism that they're all is perfectly fine psychologically lax what do you think about the label terrorism go ahead ken i happen to share yeah i mean i can't i completely disagree the definition of terrorism that we adhere to certainly in nor
