we are looking at an industry that is four to five times as profitable as the american norm. over the past 20 years it's been the most profitable all but for three years and has been in the top three every year. sales of pharmaceuticals have gone up like wildfire. recently been leveled off in a come back to that in a minute to talk about the governments role there. what does this have to do with regulatory programs? first, patents. animatedly system a loss the free market. it restrains who can offer a product. it's the bedrock foundation of the pharmaceutical any executive in the industry will tell you. it is this program that makes the business model of pharmaceutical profitable. beyond that we have the fda which instills customer confidence that the drugs we take won't kill us and they will not lose their patients. the first lot was in 1906. the new drug law announced with a lot of fanfare but it meant we didn't have a number of products like this add for cocaine toothpaste drops. maybe we would be better off with him by the fda make sure that drugs that were considered unsa

american culture in fundamental ways indeed. in the wake of his stunning success, i think a host of dazzling popular self-help gurus have spread out over the american landscape. norm yap vincent peale. robert surer, deepak chopra. steven covey, oprah winfrey. countless others, those are the all-star team. they have fanned out into our daily lives preparing messages of -- presenting messages of personal improvement, human relations, therapeutic adjustment as techniques for getting ahead and prospering and achieving self-fulfillment in our modern life. but carnegie's basic nation embodied in "how to win friends and influence people," that the individual who learns, carnegie's words, the fine art of getting along with people in everyday business and social contact, will enjoy more profit, more leisure, and what is more important, more happiness in business and in home life. this book, i think, became the text of this modern success creed. i think dale carnegie is the godfather of self-help in modern american life. carnegie went on to a rich and full life after the publication of this book in the 1930s. he flourished as a beloved teacher who in the carnegie course, th

the employers add one nothousand jobs and that is below the expectations and not enough to reduce americans out of work. there is the new norm. and charlie is here to break it down for us. charlie, 197,000 jobs and 6.7 percent unemployment is this the now norm? >> it is the now norm in the obama economy. we have never a chiefed the job growth promised to us by the president after he got elected and did the stim tim package. these are weak numbers. there is good news. more jobs have been created and some of the problems with job creation in february and january were weather related and this is what we have here. this is the slowest recovery ever. yes, we are getting some recovery. and job creation, but it is slow and clearly not enough to keep this country working like it needs to. looking at the under. unemployment rate. there is private sector jobs but they are temporary. those temporary jobs rose by 28,000. 7.4 million americans working part- time and that is a great concern. but the silver lining is the job participation rate. people in jobs or looking for jobs rising to 62.5 percent. the recovery is recovering. we are no

he is, of course, the rnlt scholar at the american enterprise institute, and, norm, generally presidents are more policy -- foreign policy focused in their second term. that is the historical pattern. it seems he has been forced into that historical pattern because of what's happening around the fwloeb and what's happening at home in terms of obstruction, which you have written about brilliantly, which makes it impossible to get anything done. it's hard to get things done abroad too. is that because the world has changed, or because obama perhaps isn't ready for, it or what do you think is going on? >> i think it's much more that the world has changed, and, you know, a president who turns to foreign policy wants to do so because presumably he has more opportunity to move the chess pieces on the board. we don't have much of an opportunity to move chess pieces. it's a reactive time in foreign policy, and, unfortunately for the president as well, when he does go out there to try and turn the focus away from some of the crisises like with his trip to asia, other things intervened and far mor

the right thing? >> it is a bad thing. i teach international law and one thing i instruct about again and again is between american norms and norms in other countries. this is sometimes put under the rubric of american exceptionalism. one way that the united states is quite different from other countries is in its commitment to free speech. you can make three distinctions. there are countries like egypt -- and you know, authoritarian countries obviously do not like free-speech and there is no reason to want to be like them. but european countries have a different attitude toward free-speech from that of the united states. europeans tend not to be as absolutist. they take seriously the fact that people can be offended by speech, that it can cause turmoil, as illustrated by this video. and what is striking is that these human rights treaties, which have provisions about freedom of expression, but the provisions are much narrower than what you find in the united states. the provisions will say free-speech is a right, subject to various constraints, such as public morality and public order. i think president obama did a reasona

the lack of standards is now a norm. we have changed the rules of the supply chain game. >> the process is fraught with problems. european and american retailers agree on standards but differ on issues of liability and how the scheme should be financed. 80% ofustry accounts for the country's exports. a striking statistic which hasn't changed despite what happened on the outskirts a year ago. >> president obama has promised to defend japan's territorial interests against any possible chinese aggression. speaking during a visit to tokyo, he said a group of disputed islands in the south china sea are protected under the defense treaty with japan. china is not so happy. >> president obama was welcomed to the imperial palace in tokyo. filled with all of the pomp and ceremony would expect. the most potent ally and friend. astain thinks of itself having a very special relationship with the u.s.. something deeper and stronger. issident obama's visit reaffirming that friendship, but reassuring japan that the special relationship is not weakening in face of a rising china. the prime minister wanted most from president obama is a clear commitme

. >> the american president going on to say the goal is to make sure international norms and international are respected and that includes the area of international disputes. and this clearly is talk about what china is doing in terms of expansion or alleged expansion. the u.s. president is sort of saying we need to be there and we will help our friends and watch out because we have more military there now. >> reporter: yes, indeed and it seems that china is the big elephant in the room and have not mentioned it until reporters asked them directly however people ask if philippines is a much bigger target if there are more u.s. soldiers on the ground. what china wants really is bilateral discussions between the philippines. however, the philippines put forward in the international tribunal its problems and what they say are increasing sense of china and the sea and clearly it is going to be one especially when they build in the western philippine seas facing the south china sea. >> thank you, we are reporting live from manila. all little look at some of the stuff coming up, in the news hour

there are dozens of countries around the world where this is the norm of the and we live in a country where less than 13% of americanrovide paid paternity leave. fortunately you have a number of companies that have started to say you know what, not only does this make sense and economic sense, it's the right thing to do. facebook for instance, offers 17 weeks of paid paternity leave. >> how many weeks did you get? >> our company provides two weeks, call it baby bonding time. i took the two times and added vacation time and personal time, i took almost three weeks. i wish i had taken more. i should have taken more. next time i will take more. >> aw. >> is that dell, i missed the video. >> why do you think america is in such a minority on this? >> i want to suggest that boomer esiason when he gives that apology is sincere and this is bigger than what mr. esiason himself said. the real issue here is in part when he made that framework about this is the job and the job is the thing that pays for the family so my role as father is to provide. and i respect the role of parents who provide economically for their children.

american. mr. ornstein, norm, the i.r.s. is not moving to promulgate the regulation that is were in place the exact regulations that were in place that some of us believe caused the problem with the i.r.s. trampling on the rights, first amendment rights of some conservative groups, pry plare the tea party. -- primarily the tea party. they are not moving because they received over 200,000 comments. by law you have to go through them. they have stopped. they have also stopped because senator flake of arizona and myself at least suggested to the new commissioner of i.r.s. that it might be a good thing to withhold writing the regulations until the finance committee of the united states senate, ways and means committee in the house and inspector general would get one with the investigations. problems like every other investigation with redaction and other things. we are persevering and trying to do it in a bipartisan manner, more especially with the senate finance committee. so they have held off right you no and i think that's a

american trial lawyer. i can't speak necessarily to the norms of south africa, but in other words, in the american system ofsecutor would never get away with this type of cross-examination. it is way too accuse tore real. we have more of an is tore he'll system. you get a defendant on a stand, doesn't happen all the time in criminal case. majority of the criminal cases it doesn't happen. you can being a gross sieve but can't get up and accuse him after murderer. eric: the defense attorney in the america would say i object and the judge would sustain the objection? >> sure. >> so much would not happen in america. acting out of scene. oscar pistorius removing his legs. none of that would go in america. at some point today she said to nel the prosecutor, enough is enough. you can't call him a liar and you have to wait and listen to the answer. she did finally after three days of cross-examination tamper it down. eric: so dramatic. you have the door with the bullet holes right there, three feet away from him. really incredible. how does he get out of this if it is possible at all, because his story with her cow

norm i don't have a very good answer to how we can resurrect the ftc. i think right now for those of us who believe in disclosure along with 85 plus% of the american people and eight of the nine supreme court justices united we have to pursue these other areas. i focus on 501(c)4's because they have been in the news lately but you also have also 501(c) organization, fives and sixes and they resent represent some of the secret money flowing into these campaigns. i mention there are $300 million of secret money flowing into these campaigns and in fact justice roberts cited that figure using the mccutcheon case. 256 million of that tragic million is from 501(c)4's. that is what the irs review is getting at but the d.i.s.c.l.o.s.e. act gets it everywhere. so that is why it's the simplest cleanest way to deal with us because it addresses frankly the broad range of issues that eight of the nine supreme court justices discussed in citizens united. yes. >> thank you congressman van hollen. what impact if any do you envision your legislation having on the learner matter before congress? on the learner matter that's currently before congress, lois lerner? >> oh i'
