our country -- [applause] -- our country is in serious, serious problems. have a president who is either incompetent which i think he could be or he has his own agenda which i know he does. he does definitely have the agenda. washington is totally broken. and it's not going to get fixed unless we put the right person in that top position. it's just not going to happen. now, the problem i have, i'm not a politician. thank goodness. politicians are all talk, no action. i've dealt with them all my life. the king of zoning, the king of -- i deal with politicians. that's what i do. i deal with people in this country our politicians are all talk no action. now, i'm a conservative. i'm a republican. but i look at what's going on with the republicans. i'm almost more disappointed ith the republicans. and you can go right now. i mean, right now they're sitting over there and they're going to make a decision on whether or not to fund, and i guarantee the answer is we'll fund, we're going to fund, we're going to keep doing it. our president broke the law when he did w

and it will vary from country to country. when we launched in zambia -- in there, hiv is a big issue. one of the free resources that -- services that the government wanted to include were services you can learn about hiv and different aspects of maternal health. different places are going to have different tools to include in this 911 for the internet. >> we have spoken to top ad execs who have want to expand to developing markets. they are excited to advertise through internet.org. how do they benefit? >> i'm not sure they will in the near term. we need to work out a model with operators and governments and local businesses to make your it -- make sure it is profitable for them, so that we can keep growing the internet. we found out in some of these countries -- the philippines -- indonesia. kenya. you offer a little bit of the internet for free, and as more people start using data and accessing internet and using these tools, more people start paying for data. once they understand what they would use the internet for, peopl

and it will vary from country to country. when we launched in zambia -- in youwhen we launched in zambia -- in there, hiv is a big issue. so we used resources about staying healthy. >> we have spoken to top at executives who have want to expand to developing markets. they are six -- are excited to advertise through internet.org. how do they advertise? >> we need to work out a model with governments and local businesses to make your it is profitable for them to make sure they can keep growing the internet. we found out in some of these countries -- the philippines -- indonesia. you and you offer a little bit you of the internet for free, and as more people start accessing the internet, more people start paying for data. once they understand what they would use the internet for, people. would understand why they would pay for data . the operators make more money. then they can reinvested to make better infrastructure. that ends up being very important. we have focused on for the last couple of years is how he can build a model

and it will vary country by country.o for example, when we launched in zambia, there, hiv is a really big issue. so one of the free services that the government and folks wanted to include were services so you can learn about hiv and learn about different aspects of maternal health. and in different places, there are going to be different tools that are important to include in this, kind of, 911 for the internet. emily: we have spoken to top ad execs who want to advertise to developing markets. they are very excited about the potential to advertise to people through internet.org. mark: yeah. emily: how does that benefit users? mark: well, i'm not sure it's a big part of the solution in the near term, to be honest. i mean, i think what we need to do is work out a model with operators and governments and local partners that is profitable for them, so that way they can continue growing the internet. so what we found out in some of these early countries that we've worked in -- indonesia, the philippines, zambia, now kenya. y

defense of our country. over the years, a leadershi >> over the years under the leadership of presidents susan schulte here, she is our beloved leader, we techous on programs for freedom, democracy and human rights. has been one of the greatest ways of measuring her greatness is is she now on a list of those to be exterminated by the north koreans. [laughter] she's done so much work for human rights there. she said threats on her life. we are very proud of our tradition of nonpartisanship because the very issues we draft are of concern to all americans. today we focus on urgent national security issues that the new congress will be addressing. before introduce are dissing her speaker, i would like to acknowledged one of our great living american leaders serving on the armed services committee and during the subcommittee on emerging threats and capabilities, an extremely knowledgeable person on the chinese threat with their missiles and satellite capabilities, several were capabilities, the mp threat and in e

mark: it is going to be different on a country by country basis. some countries have 911, others have health and crime. some have more things in it than the u.s. does. internet.org is kind of going to be like that, too. in each country, the government and local operators will need to figure out what services they want to include. emily: google has android. how do you overcome not having the hardware? not having android? mark: our strategy is to build things people want to use. facebook is the most used app. whatsapp and messenger and instagram are some of the next most used apps. so, at some level, i think that as long as we are building services that people really want to use and that help people's lives, then it is not as big of a deal. it is certainly a little bit stressful. we feel like we can help people more or deliver our services better if we had more partnerships with the operating systems that we were using to build our stuff, but it is not something that i'm stressed -- i'm not stressed about at this point. because as long as we stay foc

it can happen across the country. we need to allow the states to have freedom to compete against one another. louis brandeis, when he was on the united states supreme court he said that states are the laboratories for democracies. allow those states to compete with each other. he said, from time to time estate will make a mistake. but you have not destroyed the republic. that is the beauty of that is the beauty of the concept of allowing this country the federal government needs to do those few things and do them well. like stand a strong military. have foreign policy that is stable and sends a clear message to her allies. when i look at the foreign policy that is going on today, and has been going on, i'm greatly concern for the future. as an individual who has multiple deployments of our national guard to afghanistan traveling to those places from time to time with those young men and women, seeing these stored in a cost -- the extraordinary costs, talking to the mothers and fathers, spouses, children of texans who

other countries you mentioned, the saudis, and the countries are crucial. >> your view is on balance in the united states, employment is getting hit, lay-offs are coming, but on balance, there's a net gain for the united states over the loss. >> from this there are three things - the biggest winner is the united states. but for us, we turn the page. the energy will come from the shale revolution. it is the biggest winner. russia and nigeria - and there are countries in the middle east, india, china, net oil in the country they are a good use. they can also win from that. for u.s., it's good news >>> it's not been the economic fix the country hoped for. despite cheap oil, the world oil is forecasting lower growth. at present we hear about what we really need to get back on track. tell me what's on your mind: keep it right here. >> >> weeknights on al jazeera america. >> we're still here every night, just a little bit later. we're still taking a hard look at the most important issues out there to get you the answers you deserve. >> "real money with ali velshi" at its new time. 10:30 ea

or need. -- want in this country or need. there is nothing more personal for a mother or father then the education and the future of their children. what we need to be doing as i mentioned to somebody earlier is encouraging parents to be even more involved. my concern about what is happening in this debate is that, by federalizing this and taking it further away, you can't do the two things at the same time. you can't take it to washington , d c while also saying that the role of parents is vital. you have to be full participants in it. the two things are opposites. and so we need to have absolute standards. and i believe in making sure that we test. and we are taking some heat for that in new jersey now. but i believe in testing. because we need to know if our children are learning and if they are meeting standards that will help them maximize their the god-given ability they have been given. but i am very concerned about the idea that we would federalize this. the further education moves away from the parents home, away fro

russia and nigeria - and there are countries in the middle east india, china, net oil in the country they are a good use. they can also win from that. for u.s. it's good news >>> it's not been the economic fix the country hoped for. despite cheap oil, the world oil is forecasting lower growth. at present we hear about what we really need to get back on track. tell me what's on your mind: keep it right here. >> >>> central bank - recently the european central bank made announcements. is it too little too late days before the european central bank decision the world bank lowered its growth forecast for 2016/2015 because of a disappointing economies of the european union. particularly the benefits issues are serious. and it's not clear for a lot of reasons, including the ability to attract immigrants into the workforce to attract the problems. >> the growth was disappointing and the sales tax had a big impact. there was a big spike in consumption, but the drop off lasted more than people expected. from my perspective i'm impressed with prime minister ab and the deputy prime minister's c

why would you like the country?think this is a country that's basically legacy of white supremacy, bigotry of every sort, nothing good happen between the emancipation proclamation and deal, why would you like the country? if you read barack obama's books, as i have, the people he surrounds himself with, he doesn't find very much to like about the country. which i think if you were intellectually honest, if progressives in general were intellectually honest they admit they doept like the country that much. they think it's defective. >> juan, there is this history. go back reagan always extolling america's virtues. this president goes out of his way repeatedly you know even michelle obama for the first time in my adult life i am proud of my country. for the first time? really? and as rudy put into context that's what he's talking about. where is extolling america's greatness and goodness and charitable and how we have protected the world from tyranny time and again. >> i think he must have missed something because oba

right now it's not admired by other countries. and i deal with these countries. they talk to me sean, and they say i can't believe -- chinese, they say -- they're friends of mine, they say i can't believe we're getting away with this. in saudi arabia i can't believe we get away with this. they don't put up the money we're fighting wars for them, they don't put up the money. i know these people. i have nothing against china. their leaders are just much smarter than us. so if we bring our country back to the grass roots, if we keep the incentives going -- i'm telling you, the potential of the united states is so incredible if we do it properly and if we have smart, really smart leadership. >> when we come back tonight on "hannity" from cpac, we'll check in with former texas governor rick perry. that and more straight ahead. in my world, wall isn't a street. return on investment isn't the only return i'm looking forward to. for some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing

all across the country. some of them are in the occupy wall street movement and consider themselves progressives, some are in the tea party movement and consider themselves conservatives. but let me give you an explanation as to why they have every right in the world to be angry. since 1999 the typical middle class family, the family right in the middle of the economy has seen its income go down by almost $5,000 after adjusting for inflation. incredibly, that family earned less income last year than it did 26 years ago back in 1989. the median male worker, that guy right in the middle of the economy, made $783 less last year than he did 42 years ago. while the median female worker earned $1300 less last year than she did in 2007. that is why people are angry. they're working longer hours for lower wages, they're seeing an explosion or technology, they're watching tv and seeing all the great benefits supposedly of the global economy, and they're working longer hours for lower wages, and they're scared to deat

right now, it's not admired by other countries. i deal with these countries. they talk to me sean, and they say, i can't believe it. chinese. they are friends of mine. they say, i can't believe we are getting away with this. until saudi arabia, they say i can't believe we get away with this. they don't put up the money. we put wars for them. i know these people. i have nothing against china. their leaders are just much smarter than us. if we bring our country back to the grassroots if we keep the incentives going, i am telling you the potential of the united states is so incredible. if we do it properly and if we have smart, really small leadership. >> one last question. you almost single-handedly were out there questioning president obama's background. you said, how can you not show a birth certificate. >> right. >> i am not bringing up that issue as much. you wanted to see college records. some people very many criticized you for asking those records. what is your response? >> i would like to see his college records. i mean i would like to see a couple of th

the country lacks the ability to move the pellets. factories located far from suppliers can face huge bills to have the fuel delivered. >> translator: the government is ignoring the issue how to procure the raw materials and leaving it all up to private businesses. this is one of the things that drives up production costs. sales hubs and networks are also uncoordinate uncoordinated. if the government doesn't create environmental policies that cover everything from production to distribution biomass will not be a useful tool in china's development. >> reporter: they arermal power plant owners continue to use coal. many factories do the same. the managers say the fines for polluting the air are lower than the cost of building the required facilities. china has long stressed economic development. it is now having a hard time persuading people and businesses to shift the priorities toward protecting the environment. >>> people in china traditionally celebrate the start of the new year with fireworks and firecrackers. beijing officials hav

it reminds you about what makes this country so great. why i love this country so much. we are surely blessed to be citizens of the greatest nation on earth. you helped the united states of america become what we are today. the greatest democratic, economic, and military force for freedom and human dignity that the world has ever known. i believe in american exceptionalism with every fiber of my being. >> yeah he's never said anything about loving the country. not a word out of that guy. anyway, the right on the fight, or the fight on the right still consumed with its hatred of president obama, are they? will anyone stand up for him or it or is there no limit for how hard they're pushing? eugene robinson pulitzer prize winning columnist for the "washington post." matt shlep is the chairperson of the political action known as cpac. also political director underpresident george w. bush. what do you make about the statements from the president? >> you did your homework. i wish you'd show that to mayor giuliani. we have a lot of disagreements. a lot of us conservatives have

is it different from country to country? how do we hold government accountable? >> that is an interesting and important question, congressman.

the true threat to the country. the declaration came to the transitional period to end the vacuum to the best interest of the people to stand up to the conspiracies and the threats facing the people. that's why today i face the yemeni people, not to get bothered by the descriptions given to them their move. again, the move are conspirators, and they are on the wrong side. they are acting irresponsebly towards your interests. it is them that are acting negatively. what benefit could the vacuum bring to the yemen yemenany people. what so the vacuum bring but total collapse. they wish to see yemen in vacuum. then they would blame the consequences of this vacuum on the evolution. this is the agenda. the mayhem and collapse would be blamed on the yemeni people. on the revolution. they would have them blame the yemeni people. they would have blamed you. they had hoped to see you failing. today we say to them the yemeni people are greater more noble, wiser than any conspiracy. the yemeni people are brave enough to take the

they have warned other countries not to interfere. they're part of the so-called bali nine they were convicted in 2005 as the ring leaders of a plot to smuggle heroin out of indonesia. indonesian president reiterated on tuesday, that the executions would proceed. >> translator: there shouldn't be any intervention on the death penalty. it's our sovereign right to exercise our law. and the death penalty exists within our law. >> clemency was denied to the two convicts, they challenged the ruling. the fate of the two australians is being closely watched in their home country where capital punishment has been abolished. the australian government says it would consider recalling its ambassador to indonesia, if the executions are carried out. complicating the matter is indonesia's status as one of australia's main trading partners and the gateway to other asean markets. this is not the first time bilateral relations are strained. a crisis erupted after revelations australian intelligence had monitored phone calls of the then president and o

our country is headed in the wrong direction fast. it is falling behind, losing its way, and all we have gotten out of washington is status quo paralysis. neglect and selfishness and division, not leadership and vision. [applause] for 12 years, the republicans have tried to divide us race against race. they want us to be angry at each other so we won't be mad at them. they want us to look at each other across a racial divide fixated on one another so we cannot turn our heads and look to the white house and say why aren't all our incomes going down? what is happening to all our jobs? why are we all losing our future? [applause] here in the shadow of this great building, all of us, we all know about race baiting. a have used that on us for decades now. i want to tell you one thing i understand this tactic and will not let them get away with it in 1992. [applause] for 12 years the republicans have talked about choices, about -- without really believing in them. the president says he wants public school choice or school choice even if the

illegally are allowed to be in this country with benefits. so that intervening cause is why all of a sudden the people of the united states said wait a minute. this is not following the constitution. this is not the way our government is supposed to run. . . it became quite a tidal wave of people who are very concerned about the action. in an effort to try to engage that fight, we came up

the inequality in this country. that's not saying in europe we have solved this problem because sometimes equal access is served at the expense of lower efficiency in the university system so i am not sure it's the right answer. we all have to learn from experience. >> we also got a number of questions on the role of free trade and inequality. also the role of organized labor and the decimation of organized labor. you don't write much about organized labor in your book and i was wondering what your take on labor's roland inequality and have the free trade agreements exacerbated o. free flow? >> i think they are. i think it's clear that the organization has put low skill and medium skilled groups into -- in rich countries that's for sure. in the book i don't talk enough about labor unions but i guess one of the reasons the unions are not playing the role that they used to is changing the structure of employment and the rise of services and production and different kinds of work has made the unions of the past less st

extremism is a new identity that attracts those from oppressed countries, but very wealthy countries europe where they're doing quite well or even here in the u.s. it's going to be a long long fight. >> you've been critical of the president. what did you think of his speech today, danielle? >> i thought there were important elements. i think calling out arab leaders on the environment in which frankly isis may not exist, but in which there is support for groups like this the soft environment in which they exist throughout the middle east is very important. i think also talking about the troep. this is a war between islam and the west is an important thing. you know what? what breaks my heart about this and i say this in all sincerity is this was obvious when the president came to office. he gave the opposite speech in cairo. he said we don't care about democracy. we turned our back on democracy promotion, turned our back on the middle east explicitly and now suddenly the president is coming around and recognizing absolutely this is not just a military effort. we're never going to win

individuals in coalition countries. and even populations around the world, including english speaking audiences here and across the globe. as you'd expect, isil uses the most popular of social media platforms to disseminate this messaging. youtube, facebook, twitter. and they know how to ensure that once their media releases are posted that they reach far and wide almost instantaneously with reposting, and regeneration of follow-on links and translations into an ever-growing number of additional languages. now in terms of content we've all seen that it includes these horrible, horrific images in which hostages have been murdered or isil's adversaries on the battlefield have been executed in summary fashion. but we've also seen social media images of a bucolic family friendly welcoming life under isil's rule in their self-declared caliphate. as isil tries to paint a picture to entice disenfranchised individuals seeking ideological, religious or personal fulfillment, and not just a battlefield or a martyrdom experience. i

military commanders are preparing the country to retake mosul. in washington saying the operation involving 25,000 troops is being planned to start in april or may and they'll try to out the isil fighters who captured the second largest city last june. the pentagon is describing this as a pivotal battle in the campaign in iraq, roslyn jordan has the latest from washington d.c. >> reporter: up to 25,000 iraqi troops are supposed to launch this so-called spring offensive in order to retake mosul in april or may the big question, are they ready. since last september u.s. military advisers have been working with the iraqi military toy try to expand their capacity and to basically make them willing to stay in the fight. the targeting of mosul, which is currently being controlled by isil fighters, could be a very disease i ever fight. of course then the next question would be would u.s. troops be needed to help the iraqi military. the u.s. president has long said he doesn't want to send ground troops back in to eye remark the u.s. military thinks that

we can't as countries, neighbouring countries, or finance anything else. what the state agreed on is should have an infrastructure. so now we are 1.5% of our own imports. so that we could have the correction to that. without establishing the developments that you have in your own countries. >> when we come back we'll discuss whether infrastructure projects will take advantage of the low interest rates. >> music superstar akon >> it is a way for me to make money. it's clearly a business >> lending his voice to those in need >> i'm in a position where i can make a difference >> his goal, to have africa be part of the modern world >> if you wanna keep africa stable, there has to be elections >> every monday, join us for exclusive... revealing... and surprising talks with the most interesting people of our time... talk to al jazeera part of our special black history month coverage on al jazeea america >>> i'm ali velshi at the world economic forum in davos switzerland. we'll discuss whether projects boost of the economy. uber is part of the largest designed ar

but in syria - where are the two countries far apart? >> well, i think the israeli palestinian conflict is a sore point. this is the fundamental issue in the middle east and in the bit lateral relationship with the united states and saudi. on the economic side, white house officials say after the meeting they did not speak to the two leaders about oil prices, but spoke about oil stability within the energy sector. they didn't talk about the price of the pump. the move by saudi arabia to keep up production, to keep the price of a barrel of oil at record low et cetera, given the rate of inflation, a lot look at that, wandering what they are up, pushing zlairgeal players, many operating in the united states. including fracking. trying to push them out, put the squeeze on them. making it unprofitable for them. so the saudis keep it going, drop out and the price of oil goes up. they are playing a complicated discussion. >> there is an example. it's a time where everybody talks about the alliance. here is the saudis with an aggressive play, an
