feel it is appropriate for every park, but the dogs have a lot of fun, and they do want to stay in aipacd like to see the numbers stay as high as possible to make a good living. there are a number of expenses or a dog walking businesses. i have a new vehicle, and death. i like to provide service for my client. eight seems like a good compromise, and it seems i am out of time, thank you. president o'brien: the local my name is steve. i am a dog walker. i have been doing this for the last couple of years. i was one of those people like was just mentioned. i started doing this when i lost my job. but i did this as a kid, and i loved it. what has been bounced around historically, neither one of them is ideal. six is going to make it really hard. even seven is going to make it very hard to make a living. i really get a feeling that frankly what people are trying to do is make it impossible for us to make a living. there seems to be a feeling that we make a ton of money. we do not. we walked your dogs or $20. you take one dog away, potentially to the blue dogs a day doing two groups, five days

aipac, the pro-israel lobby, spends the most, followed by the u.s. conference of catholic bishops. >>> one important lobby is the christian group, bread for the world, which fights hunger here and abroad. reverend david beckmann, a lutheran pastor, is president of bread for the world. david, welcome. >> thank you. >> bring us up to date, how many hungry people are there in the united states? >> it's now one in seven americans who lives in a household that runs out of food. >> runs out of food what? each month or? >> the typical pattern is the last two or three days of the month, people run out of food. so the kids may not eat for the last couple days, the mom may not eat for four days, it's one in four children under the age of 5 who lives in one of those households and that kind of moderate under nutrition does permanent damage to children. >> now the supercommittee in congress failed this week to come up with any plan about the long term control of the deficit. what does that mean for you and the people who are trying to fight hunger? there was to

. >> host: how to use and as opposed to new aipac? >> we believe the two states solution is in the united states best interest want to see the president do more not less to help achieve peace. >> host: what is the new voice for israel? >> essentially provide a counterweight to the zero points that for too long to speak for the entire jewish community and have been issues that are more hawkish than the average jewish-american for those who are 40 and under from supporting israel does not mean supporting every decision of the israeli government and is not mean take the most hawkish possible view. >> what is the position that you do support that could be different? >> zandi traditional establishment? the president gave a speech in me that he said the two state prowess i need to be made on the border between west bank in israel. we think that is right. the president took a great deal of heat from organized jewish groups and we thought they should have gotten support because that is the only way they will survive it is if it does achieve t

. >> how do you stand compared to aipac? >> we're a part of the jewish community that believes that peace and a go-state -- two-state solution would be in israel's and the united states' best interests and we want to see the president do more, not less, to help achieve peace. >> host: so what is the new voice for israel? >> guest: the new voice is to, essentially, provide a counterweight to some old voices that for too long have purported to speak for the entire jewish community and who have had positions on these issues that are more hawkish than the average jewish-american. and particularly for those who are 40 and under in the jewish community, supporting israel doesn't mean supporting every decision of the israeli government, and it doesn't mean taking the most hawkish possible view on every issue. >> what is the position that you do support that might

what is it, ai pack is the political action committee, the israeli political action committee -- >> aipac>> people seem to live in terror of those guys, because they seem to be very good at intimidating and taking people out with that money. how much of a factor is the menacing aspect of being on the wrong side of israel money in this country politically, to everybody? >> well, it's a huge deal. i mean, you put your finger right on it. it's not just about jewish voters, it's also about these interest groups that have a lot of power and a lot of money behind them. so you see, i mean, it's been pretty unbelievable to me, actually, the depths that the republican presidential candidates have sunk to in order to try to paint the president as anti-israel, something that just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. and as ari was pointing out, there's been this narrative of, oh, the president's base is dissatisfied with him. and that also just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. where the president is struggling is with independents and moderates. the base is very pleased with him. and i include in the base jewis

we have on the other hand a pivot of the united states announced at the aipac meeting in hawaii towards asia. so it seems like, you know, everybody is pivoting. [laughter] towards china, to a degree. but how do you read the state of u.s.-china relations with the dispute, now the announcement on automotive imports? what are the risks for china coming from the u.s. china economic and political relation? yukon, do you want to start with that? >> let me start with your pivot. having, european i think is brought the welcome by china. they see europe giving china more attention as positive the americans did it for china as was discussed at carnegie a couple weeks ago has raised tensions. basically this is a potential resurfacing of u.s. objectives to stuff and more greater return to its dominant role in asian in the future and not quite sure that means in security and military sense. so these two pivots i think of a different kind of perception within china. now, this is an election-year year, coming, the transfer of power in china to the next generation of leadership next year. these politic

other democrats can hop on board because he is the only true peace candidates, not taking orders from aipac or and other lobbying groups. host: on twitter, angela wright to -- let's go to hawaii, kathy, democrats' line. caller: i am definitely enthusiastic. you can parse some of the things you wish had been done better, but the republicans, the only thing they were united on was getting in trouble basically. i think he will be reelected. i think that is a pretty strong probability. i think part of the reasons the republicans are in such disarray, the stronger candidates waiting for 2016 because they did not believe he is that vulnerable and i don't think he is. host: let us look at a story from "christian science monitor." here is the breakout -- mary is joining us from illinois. where you calling us from? caller: waukegan. good morning. let's not forget the elephant in the room. we know the reason they are giving the president such a hard time, and they keep denying that that is the reason. host: what i am asking you, mary, about your level of enthusiasm. caller: it is great. i love it pre
