tend to be very true centric when dealing with this issue it's all about americans we're keeping americans safe they're not really connecting this with the people across the world who are being killed as a result of the drone strike i'm sure that debate will come because americans people who have a great social conscience and once they pick up an idea they feel is in just as they pick it up themselves and they'll go for it and that will happen right now it's not happening and we have to understand that when you have a place like was it just which is the focus on my book. small place already impoverished tribal societies no hospitals no roads no education facilities and you hit it with drones again and again and again they've ended up by killing over three thousand people in was a stand alone and think of the impact on a small society a small tribal society just rips the society apart and in that vacuum you will have these violent angry killers as you call them who then go down to karachi or the hole in the bigger cities and blow themselves up and this is in one case they killed a young boy

so both the prints, the americans -- the brits, the americans and the soviets did not want that outcome. they did not want -- >> guest: you know, actually, you're saying they didn't want unconditional surrender? >> host: no. they came to the conclusion after the experience of world war i that to leave the german war machine intact in any way is not a good idea, it's not in the interests of either the united states or the british -- >> guest: well, there's other research there because the unconditional surrender policy was by no means greeted happy by by many leading military members in the u.s. and even the secretary of state and other figures. >> host: of course. i agree with that. >> guest: it's another situation where you ended up creating more resistance by the nazis and, indeed, with, for example, the fire bombings of the various cities, you created more reliance on the nazi government for germans, citizens. and it ended up with this situation where it became very clear there were any number of points at which there were movements to bring down germany that got nowhere. for example

each of these realities in dimension of american life amplified that americans lived in a period of -- in which they had to take a journey as sober without a map, a sand for fearfulness that we didn't know. of course there never were maturities of american -- the majority of southerners did not belong to the clan. the majority of southerners did not lynch, but lynchings continued and the congress was unable to legislate against lynching as a result of the plucking power of the south. not the southern members of congress favorite lynching. if you did, but the great majority were appalled by, but simply because they wished to protect regional autonomy. both the communist party and the german-american skirts so madison square garden in new york, rallies have more than 20,000 people. as late as 1939, the german uniforms in new york city. there's many such roles. there is much recent job as a cause. they signify two things. first of readerships had followers because it was thought they could solve problems constitutional democracy could not. they had their deal. second, those movements sig

spend your tax money on american made equipment, american job, american businesses. there's another bill i have dealing with the transportation system, same thick. that bill is now finding its way nto the rewrite of the highway transportation program, transportation bill, and hopefully it'll be there. a very strong buy american provision. so that our buses, our trains, our light rail, our locomotives, steel and concrete for bridges, we've got a lot of work to do in america. we've got a lot of work. and a lot of need. and this house ought to be spending its time on that we'll take another night and go into this, the tax policy side of this, in which there's a lot to be aid about changing our taxes to encourage manufacturing. some of that has been done. i'll leave one example, two years ago, the democrats controlled this house, we eliminated about $12 billion of tax breaks that american companies received for shipping american job overseas. we put a stop to that. there's about another $5 billion that needs to be done but we no longer control this house. we ought to bri

i make him what started as a letter from an american president has now become a principle of americanpolitical life. it was repeatedly reaffirmed during the campaign by the republicans. this is a president who was throwing israel under the bus and was like a lot, should have no dilate, our position, their position, identical. tell them ahead of time. any president can do anything he or she wants to i don't know, i don't see this president necessarily abandoning that whoever. palestinian membership in united nations. the palestinian national movement in one of its lowest moments in the entire modern history of the palestinian people, and the fact that you have divided leadership in fact you have any idea on both sides and ineffectively ship means that you are not seeing the kind of effective use of this tool that you could see. but in order to use something like u.n. membership of going to the international criminal court, or any other diplomatic or other tool at your disposal, you have to have a strategy. i have seen the slightest inkling of a stretch from palestinian politician four

americans have turned to consumer politics consistently from the american revolution true the entire 19th century to the present. what i look at is the movement by abolitionists to boycott slave made goods beginning in the 1820s and was a movement called the free produce movement with the idea that people who opposed slavery needed to not buy goods made by slaves with the argument made by the abolitionists was that purchasing slave-made goods was tax amount to hiring a slave yourself. what they tried to do was say there's really no moral difference of being a slave owner and a consumer of slave-made goods. essentially, you're supporting the slave owner, and you're sporting the system of slavery, and so this was a movement that was never marchly large, but it had a big social impact, and the other ning that this group did was sets up stores in which they sold what they called free prostitution, there is, goods that were made by nonslave labor, but free labor. their idea was as more and more americans bought those goods, there was an inacceptabilityive -- incentive to switch over from

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

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

worker over wage of the american worker over the average wage of the american worker over the last, at least since 2000 some say as far back as 1978, have not kept up with inflation. the profits doing pretty well, the worker salaries have checked up with inflation and the unemployment rate is exceedingly high today. that is a fact. and professor borjas attributes a good bit of that -- attributes a good rid of that to the large immigration that we've had over these years. this at a level that he sent years ago wrote was higher than the company ought to have done. what is our current situation. we look at the president at the congressional budget office. they present the congress every year and nobody knows the verse two of those questions, the cbo is as good an object did not bribe the u.k. but experts say are incorrect and that is the economic growth as the united states and japan is not going to be the peaks of growth we've had in some of the cocoa areas of the past. bill gross had the biggest bond fund in the world. he's called it the new normal, that we're going to have a lower g

four americans lost their lives. the people had been told their lives were at risk, security wasn't provided. when americans die in the line of battle or americans die when they are sent into a dangerous zone, the government has an absolute obligation to find out why it happened and how it prevent that in the future. we have not gotten those answers. four people were killed -- we have an obligation to their families and to americans in the future. what other security warnings are we getting? they can't pass this off as an old story, the way jay carney tried to do it? >> jamie: secretary of state john kerry, promised as the president often said, transparency on what goes on. at the same time, have you to protect secrets -- i understand that as well. but victoria nuland had been up for a promotion for some time, at least in line for it. now the president is making a nomination that has many in washington concerned. are you, and if so, tell us why? >> she has had a distinguished career. but there are very real questions

they become american by embracing the american culture, the american civilization, understanding the declaration of independence, the constitution, understanding the english language, our taking in free enterprise capitalism and understanding that there's a uniqueness about being an american that gives us this vigor, this great vigor that is an american vigor, unique to the rest of the planet. and because of the god-given liberties that we have, many of them in the bill of rights, freedom of speech, religion and the press, freedom to peaceably assemble and petition the government for redress of grievance. second amendment rights, to keep and bear arms. property -- bare arms. property rights. the right to be faced by your accusers in a court of law, be tried by a jury of your peers and no double jeopardy. the concepts of federalism, where the power's not specifically delegated to the congress or the president or the judicial branch, devolved to the people, to the states or the people respectively. those are all pillars of american exceptionalism. that make us a great, great nation. an

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 phosphorus bombs and depleted. uranium weapons banned by all international conventions. our 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. that i learnt that the war is far from over in fact it's still going on for the stigmata rivera and their involvement in two thousand and five we noted 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 we recorded forty three cases ye

[ 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,

for americans workers first.the bill, the wait of way it's written right now, they would have to collect resumes, but they don't actually have to hire americans, and they could displace americans. so they can, clearly, bypass american workers, and there's an incentive for them to do so. even though the bill does raise the wage floors for h-1bs a little bit, they're still below market wages. they're still cheaper. so there's a real incentive to bring in these guest workers because they can be paid below market wages, less than american workers. plus they're tied to the employer. the employer controls the visa program. >> suarez: so looking back over the history of this program, professor, what effect have those h-1b workers had on the tech job market in the united states, in your view? >> well, i think it's had a significantly negative effect overall. i think there are some really highly talented workers who come in on h-1bs. that's a really good parent of it. and many of the companies do sponsor them for permanen

and what we want is exactly what most americans want. we know our mental health system is in shambles. and we all want it fixed. we want criminals with guns prosecuted and incarcerated. we want the federal government on the books right now in force against drug dealers with guns, gangs with guns, and violent felons with guns. [applause] everyone of you feels that way, i know it. if they would just do that, those violent criminals would not be on their way to the next crime scene. they would be sitting in prison. we all want our children to be safe. we want them to be protected. that is why we proposed trained police and security officers in every single school in our country. [applause] there is not a mom or dad an america that wants to leave their children. if the washington elite really wanted the same thing, they would stop demonizing law- abiding american gun owners, they would stop trying to convince the american people that all gun owners are potential criminals in waiting, and they would actually implement programs that address ou

americans are tired of this game. they are tired of us fighting each other when we should be fighting for them. that is why it is time that we pass the working family flexibilities act. our bill gives private sector employees the same choice government workers have enjoyed for decades. so the choice to receive comp time instead of wages for overtime. again, this is something that the public sector has engaged in for many, many years, decades in fact. if it's good enough for the federal government, it ought to be good enough for the private sector. i'm a mom. riley and i have two beautiful children. margaret and george. margaret is 8 and george is 4. i understand working families as we balance our workplace and our home time. this is about helping working moms and dads. this is about providing the ability to spend time at home that's so needed in today's hectic time. i know this firsthand, and this is important and will provide just help for many working families. this could change lives. >> will the gentlelady yield?

americans are deeply ambivalent about war. but having fought for our independents, we know the price must be paid for freedom. from the civil war to our struggle against fascism, on through the long twilight struggle of the cold war. battlefields have changed and technology has evolved, but our commitment to constitutional principles has weathered every war. and every war has come to an end. with the collapse of the berlin wall, a new dawn of democracy took hold abroad. and a decade of peace and prosperity arrived here at home. for a moment it seemed the 21st century would be a tranquil time. and then on september 11, 2001, we were shaken out of complacency. thousands were taken from us as clouds of fire and metal and ash descended upon a sun-filled morning. this was a different kind of war. no army came to our shores and our military was not the principle target. instead a group of terrorists came to kill as many civilians as they could. so our nation went to war. we've been at war for over a decade. what is clear is that we
