this does not just refer to aipac. this is not just about aipac. this has to do with a lot of republicans and a lot of conservatives and people here in israel who misunderstand the public mood and the obama white house, which leads us to the political angle here. i think that in the end, while aipac is still strong and potent and still very effective in what it does on capitol hill, at the end of the day on an issue of war and peace, the white house is stronger than aipac and the white house is stranger than congress. >> what does aipac do moving forward? clearly what happens in the middle east and united states they see at headlines in the newspaper, a story on the television but in israel, it is the next door neighbor, the country that threatens the borders. how do you make those differing views of the situation in the middle east marry? >> they are often in compatible. the implication in your question is accurate. these things are often inconsistent and i am compatible. let's not forget for the sake of our viewers, aipac doesn't work for israel.

did i say aipac? and are making an impact the doors are increasingly open to them in the white house. ,hat's a sign of a change especially the young american jewish community is staunchly supportive of israel and is also very critical of israeli policy and they are mobilizing. congress may be the last to become peacemakers. the israeli security elite are speaking out. security chiefs and prominent retired generals, people of the highest prestige in israeli society, they are beginning to tell the truth about this conflict and that's a real sign of change in israel. perhaps most important of all has been kerry's initiative. he has been determined that he has allowed a process of bilateral negotiations to go forward. i think an effort to give the parties one last chance to do it by themselves. it has failed and now he has engaged in what i think is the next phase and that is an american framework -- i have to caution against too much optimism because we haven't seen it, but it looks like an american peac

>> well, essentially, jane, it does not mean that aipac has lost any real ground.ow is aware that it is not the only game in official washington. there is another organization called jstreet that has taken a much more liberal or progress tack on us-israeli relations and has been able to find allies here on capitol hill and within the white house. there is more of a willingness to give other people who say that not everything that israel does should be accepted without question; that honest discussion can lead to a stronger relationship, and so that's part of what is going on here; that there's now another lobbying organization that has been exerting its muscles. it doesn't mean that aipac isn't an organization that members of congress in particular can afford to ignore, but what you see here is perhaps a morrow bust and more complicated discussion about u.s. support for israel taking place here in washington. >> okay, rosiland jordan reporting there. >>> in in iran it's cold weather rather than the cold war with the u.s. making headline. the capitol has been covere

get isa aipac? i met j street. [laughter] they're making an impact that the doors are increasingly open to them in the white house, and the media. and that's a sign of a change i think. especially the young american jewish community is staunchly supportive of israel, is also very critical of israeli policy, and they are mobilizing. and slowly i think having an impact on congress, although i expect congress may be the last to become peacemakers. the israeli security elites are speaking out. the former security prominent retired generals, these are people of the highest prestige, begin to tell a truth about this conflict. i think that's a real sign of change in israel. but perhaps most important of all has been kerry's position. he has been determined. he has allowed a process of bilateral negotiations to go forward. i think in an effort to give the parties one last chance to do it by themselves. it has failed, and now he is engaged in what i think is the next phase, and that is an american framework. now, cautioned

right and right from the home and host nation russia won the first goal eighteen pst on sunday the aipac and the usa and verses fifty l skinner you hear that the sky has visited as a medal favourite. i need to love one to fourteen points after free skiing on sunday with a clean performance. somehow the initiation kenyan of the new warrior. i'm not exactly but there's a point to note here first on the first shots kind of programs is sustained. both the triple triples the lights and snow. but in times of john schemes triples two biggest deal with longer in the stands and of course higher heights. the huskies gems are smaller fish are often just off on the ground at whiskey nana always executes exact gems. but the russian strength is an incredible spends showing off her flexibility. and if all my chin after i'd spin is almost vertical with their legs lifted up by the scary here. such is the medal count where does korea stand right now i can expect a medal tonight while forsaking korea has heard no mild so far. but now it's become a get the bill stands for other countries put this monday eve

now, i know many active members of aipac -- the majority leader mentioned aipac. they want to have this vote. they'll be coming to washington next week from all over the country. i'll bet you, mr. president, this is a vote they want to have. this is a rare issue that should unite both parties in common purpose, and there's no question, it would, if the majority leader would simply drop his reflexive deference to a president who's policy is focused on withdrawing from our overhe's commitments, foreign policy that at worst poses a serious threat at our own security and that of our allies. so, once again, i call on the majority leader to allow the congress, allow the senate to serve its purpose and express itself in our nation's policy toward iran. let our constituents speak on this all-important issue on which so many of us from both parties actually agree. in the joint plan of, a the president made clear that -- in the joint plan of action, the president made clear that he aopposes additional sanctions. why don't we let congress speak, let congress have a voice. le

aipac was unequivocal in its request for delay on additional sanctions.said -- and i quote -- "stopping the iranian nuclear program should rest on bipartisan support and there should not be a vote at this time on the measure." close quote. many veteran groups have also come out against, including the veterans amendment, on this bill, including virtually every veterans organization, but especially the american legion and the veterans of foreign wars. consisting of millions and millions of veterans. we also have iraq and afghanistan veterans america saying don't do it at this time. we need help. we, the veterans, need help. this legislation would give us that help. here's specifically what the american legion said. i quote -- "sanctions against iran have no place in the united states senate debate over legislation that aims to expand health care, educational opportunities, employment and other benefits for veterans." close quote. but iran should make no mistake, mr. president. we know that. if they fail to comply with the current interim agreement or fail t

. >> aipac, which is a very strong pro-israel group in washington doesn't want these brought up either an unreasonable position to take. i'm not -- >> i unreasonable, but the wise position is to reinstitute sanctions, to have them there so the mullahs can see them. if you don't do what you said you were going to do. that's the sane position. let's go to ukraine. let's go to ukraine. >> no. okay. just go to ukraine. but let me point out that the sanctions set by president obama and secretary of state clinton were working and that's what brought the iranians to the table. but let's go to ukraine. >> all right, carville, you know what i'm saying is right. let's go to ukraine. you've got to violence and you've got all of this stuff. then you have president obama saying there will be consequences. less than 24 hours after he says it the ukrainian army shoots down 70 people in the street. then the obama administration spokesperson is asked, is that going to evoke consequences? and he doesn't answer. come on, carville. >> first of all, i've worked in the ukraine. so it happens to be something

played in venues as diverse as carnegie hall, the united nations, the lincoln center in the power aipac school here in jackson. he has been hailed by "the new york times" as one of today's most adventurous musicians. ladies and gentlemen my friend and fellow mississipians bruce livingstone. bruce, welcome tonight. [applause] last year we enacted the most transformational public education reform in 30 years. we came to this action because we recognized that serious problems exist within our state education system. when we set about to develop our education works agenda we found troubling evidence of the struggles in mississippi classrooms. just two weeks ago education week released its quality counts ratings that placed mississippi as number 51 for k-12 student achievement. we can all agree this is unacceptable. political posturing and finger-pointing do nothing to help these children so we have worked together in these past two years to offer solutions. not through some arbitrary formula for standards dictated by the federal government but by common sense priorities. our education work
