this was a shock to american public opinion. you can see a gradual shift in american opinion, which probably shares towards the allied side. this is a very long way from saying the united states should be involved in the war. wilson's own views was we should not be involved, this is not a war that involves us. on several occasions, he offered his services or the services of the united states as a mediator. while this was happening, there is also debate in the united states about whether the united states should get more prepared for war. should the united states up its military preparations in a world that was increasingly turbulent? this divided american public opinion. it was something woodrow wilson had to beat -- felt had to be done. the united states, he argued could not take the chance and a world that was at war, of not being prepared militarily. he cast this in terms of being prepared against mexico, in terms of continental defense but that could be stretched to mean preparedness in terms of naval preparedness in the atla

>> well, he tried to ban ars, he couldn't ban ars from the american public, a popular sporting rifle,s trying to ban ar ammunition. i actually brought a graphic to kind of explain this. >> let's see it. >> the one he's trying to ban is the 556 the small rifle cartridge. the thing is, if he can ban that, because it pierces soft body armor, he can also ban the 30-06 which is next to it he can ban the other two hunting cartridges there, the 300 win-mag, the 375 he can ban every cartridge in between that. in fact, under this standard he can ban all rifle cartridges because all of them pierce soft body armor. >> it's an executive fiat. this is driving me crazy. i can't understand how a president even assumes he has this kind of power. >> well, he's trying to stretch -- >> expanding his power, as he put it. >> but here's the thing. this is not about law enforcement. the fraternal order of police, the largest law enforcement organization in the country, 325,000 police officers says direct quote while this round will penetrate soft body armor, as i have just said, it is not historically posed

think what this administering has told the american public. first that we have -- know that is not true today. then that isis was a jv team. then the president said just few months ago that yemen is the example to the foreign policy it came to the middle east. now he wants to trust us on getting a deal with iran not able to obtain a nuclear weapon. i believe the administration has misinterpreted the entire arab spring. that is the concern we have. you look at the president sent to congress authorization for use of military force he constrains the military even further to combat isis. he has more authority today than when he's asking going forward. the problems we're having today around the world are because of this administration redirection of our foreign policy that puts more emphasis on defending our enemy instead of supporting our allies and creating chaos around the world. >> schieffer: i want to stop you there an thank you very much for being with us this morning. we're going to welcome now congresswoman tulsi gabbard democrat from hawai

the american public post-vietnam -- and i grew up close to, by the way. i grew up after the draft and all that. that war did not impact my worldview the way it did the people maybe five years older than me. so i did not grow up with that that presumption that these foreign engagements are roads to nowhere. we now have a situation in our country where we now have a very unstable region in the middle east. very dangerous with the emergence of this terrorist army. we have a potential nuclear deal with iran that may give iran the bomb. we have workplace violence, which used to be called terrorism, which should be called terrorism, because it is terrorism. part of this well established religion, a very small part, people who want to make these interpretations, want to kill other people. i would say that is the number one security issue in our country. it is about the economy, wage growth. we have talked about our culture. immigration. we have talked about national defense. i would say that these discussions are occurring at a lot of dining room tables these da

public transportation. it's not just about that economic return, it's about jobs, it's about getting americans to work. ere are nearly 50,000 jobs created or sustained for each $1 billion investment of federal dollars into the public transportation system. this is a huge return. but even more importantly, the federal government doesn't build our rolling stock they don't build our buses trains and transit shelters. the private sector does that the consultants the oems, they make this business happen. those federal dollars those government dollars that come through to our industry, most of those are capital dollars. did you know that fully 73% of the government dollars that come into transit flow right through to the private sector? they're creating jobs all across the nation. good, high-paying, high-quality jobs. be sure to share that jobs story with the policymakers up on the hill. tell them how they're creating jobs and opportunities to get the jobs in cities large and small, urban and rural all across our nation. but with a job, it doesn't end there. you're going to do a great job on the hill the next

afghanistan as fast as the president promised, and that could be a problem for a world-weary american public. where afghanistan is vulnerable and what a secure afghanistan can mean to americans and afghans. domestic abuse you do not hear about. we'll look at how money can be used for power and control and how romantic relations go wrongs. and why people say the dallas cowboys are crossing the line by paying big money to a football player bringing shame to the game and league to a footballer with a domestic violence prop. i'm ali velshi on al jazeera america, and this is "real money". >>> nearly 14 years into the war in afghanistan today president obama announced he will halt u.s. troop withdrawals planned for the next few months. the decision after a face-to-face request from the afghanistany president ashraf ghani. he knows the united states well, spending a decades in the u.s. when president obama stood at the white house next to ashraf ghani, he announced troops levels in afghanistan will continue. >> president ghani requested some flexibility on draw-down time lines, i consulted with gen

and to prevent her from getting to work on protecting the american public from human trafficking which is so important. the american people want action on trafficking and there are legitimate points of debate between our side on the this issue. those points of debate and differences need to be resolved, and i hope they will be, i trust they will be. i believe they are resolvable and that extraneous or relevant provisions now in the bill can be removed so that we can focus on stopping modern-day slavery which is what the -- the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. mr. blumenthal: if i may just have another minute to finish. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. blumenthal: which is what we should be doing here, and i believe that we will do it. loretta lynch has a stellar record. she served with incredible distinction during her time as united states attorney for the eastern district of new york. i suggest to my colleagues that the best way to serve the purpose of stopping trafficking is to confirm her so she can get to work on enforcing that new law. thank you mad

public. they don't want to be perceived as doing so. benjamin netanyahu is like an american politician who has to placate the base and say things to get them back to the polls and having a hard time to get back to the center right and fix. part of benjamin netanyahu's constituency is the u.s. government, the american public with $3 billion a year in aid and such a vital relationship for israel, which is playing against netanyahu after he was seen as putting that relationship in danger. the question is, will netanyahu be able to come back and fix some of the relations that he has damaged. of course they haven't been that good with the obama administration, growing worse over the last six years. after the speech to congress after his denunciation or repudiation of the two-state solution that is backed by the u.s. government, i think at this point, if he were to lead a government, whether it be a coalition government or one in anyway way shape or form, it's going to be very difficult for him to work with the administration in any meaningful way over the next few years. >> the p

the american public and i grew up post-vietnam and after the draft and all of that. that war didn't impact my view of the world the way it did people five years older than me. i didn't grow up with that presumption these foreign engagements are road to nowhere. we have a situation in our country now where we have a very unstable region in the middle east -- it has always been unstable -- very dangerous with the emerging terrorist army. we have potential nuclear deal with iran that may in fact give iran the bomb. we have workplace violence which used to be called terrorism and should be called terrorism because it is terrorism and we have as part of this well established religion a very small part, of people who want to go kill other people. so i would say that is the number one security issue in our country. we have talked about the economy, wage growth we have talked about our culture, right, immigration and we have talked about national defense. i would say these discussions are occurring in a lot of dining room tables these days. a lot of families. and they are al

>> well probably because the media doesn't want the american public to know what this president is tryingimpose on them. this is a president he's grasping for straws he hates the second amendment. he hates the fact americans have a constitutional right to own firearms. he can't win at the ballot box, can't win at the congress, and now trying to act like a dictator and planning on forcing this amo ban on the american public by regulation. lou: why the interest in the 56 so-called green tip ammunition that would effectively, then it wouldn't be available to gun owners, rendering the gun not much use? >> he tried to ban ar's he tried to ban the popular sporting rifle, now trying to ban ar ammunition. i brought a graphic that explains this. lou: let's see it. >> the one he's trying to ban is the 556 it's a small rifle cartridge. the thing is if he can ban that because it pierces soft body armor he can also ban the .30-06. a popular hunting cartridge and ban the .300 win mag, the .375. he can ban every cartridge in between that, in fact, under this standard he can ban all rifle cartridges beca

ciraolo: holding hearings like today are critical to getting word out to the american public. our elected representatives taking the message back to their home state and making sure the information is out there as often and as loud as possible. many of these scams can be stopped if the american public is educated, and having a centralized locations for that information is a wonderful idea. it gives me hope that we will see further information in the future. >> thank you. what should congress do? >> i echoed what she said. the scam is so simple couple we would never be able to prevent people from posing as another person. when money dries up, criminals will go away. bringing them to justice and an historic way is something we want to do, but it is not a solution to the crime. is more about people not being victimized. >> criminals will continue to be agile. the greatest thing we can do is ensure collaboration among groups in providing funding to make sure collaboration can take place. >> you still have to be able to cut off the vector that is used to receive money. identificati

she was doing it in a secret fashion to keep them secret from the american public. i don't think the american public should tolerate it. >> do you believe that she thinks, or thought at the time, she was above the law? that the rules did not apply to her? the very rules she was handing down to her own state department employees. >> yes. i mean, look at this. this is a couple that has been raising money from foreign countries that have despicable human rights women rights records, and they're somehow to be trusted that, oh we're taking $20 million from saudi arabia, but it didn't affect any of our policy. it's unseemly. i think the american people will be kind of sick bd to see this level of, i don't know, to me, it seems to be deception. >> when you watched her today, did you think she was ready for primetime? a lot of folks thought she was a little off, that she seemed a little dismissive, maybe not on top of her game. what were your thoughts? >> i think there's a little bit of arrogance that some of these laws apply to some lower people but not to me, i'm hillary

>> so far the american public has stayed with us.grow at a 50% increase in our programs year after year, ask we'rend we're hopeful that as we keep hearing the wars are winding down that they won't pick up on future conflicts that they stay with us more, because there are going to be warriors that need help for a lifetime. >> that's the thing steve about these recent conflicts that are different is that people are surviving. they have, in many cases, horrific injuries, but because medicine has advanced enough, many of them do survive, so they come home with different needs and very long-term needs. >> that's a great point. we have warriors that right now multiple kbu tragsamputations severe traumatic brain injuries injuries they would have passed away on the battlefield in korea. while there are great medical advances in med, we now have a commitment to take care of them, to keep them out of nursing homes, to keep them in their homes with their families and communities. >> as we watch some of the video of some of the services you prov

she'll have to convince skeptical members that she was in compliance and convince the american public that there's nothing to hide. >> reporter: even if the e-mails themselves have now gone away, it seems unlikely questions about clinton's transparency, will. david wright abc news, new york. >>> and one political question that does have an answer tonight. which republican will run for the white house. aides to marco rubio confirmed he will toss his hat in for 2016 as well as rand paul. both tea party favorites are expecting to make it official next month. joining ted cruz who is already in the race. >>> and now to a growing scandal in indiana. now the protests are growing louder by the day with big napes from hollywood to high tech calling for a boycott. here's abc's ron claiborne. >> reporter: in indianapolis. you hundreds protesting a new lay that discriminates against gas. thursday, the governor signing the so-called religious freedom restoration agent which reporters will allow businesses and individuals to refuse service if it values religious values. >> if i thought it was about

public domain. and i think that americans will find that interesting and i look forward to having a discussion about that. >> madam, secretary, how can the public be sure that when you deleted e-mails that were perm in nature that you didn't also delete e-mails that were possibly profession and unflattering and how do you feel about the idea of having an independent third party come in and examine your e-mails. >> first of all, you would have to ask that question to every government official. the way the system works, every employee, the individual whether they have one, two, three devices and how many addresses, they make the decision. so even if you have a work-related device with a work-related dot-gov account, that is the way the system works. so we count on and the judgment of thousands of maybe millions of people to make those decisions. and i feel that i did that and even more that i went above and beyond what i was requested to do. and again, those will be out in the public domain and people can judge for themselves. >> madam -- madam secretary, madam secretary -- excuse me. madam secretary,

i think the american public understands that.ot the case with regards to the e-mails. >> i want to try to draw the strings together now. that was the night of benghazi. now, you, the judicial watch group, has filed a bunch of lawsuits against the state department and foia, trying to get information. what happened yesterday that you were stunned at and that the american public should be stunned at with regard to what the state department said in response. >> we had a foia case asking questions about the secretary that was closed, and it was almost a year old. we had reason to believe they had lied to us and so we approached the state department and said, we want to reopen this case. we want to go back to the court. we told them we were going to do this as part of the procedure. we said look we're going to make a statement that you have engaged -- you and secretary clinton, both the agency and the person -- in misconduct and misrepresentations concerning this lawsuit. the state department came back to us and conceded, in fact they

is getting adequate funding and reare sources and convincing congress but also convincing the american public which might lead to more attention in congress. can you talk a little bit more about how you can get the public to pay attention and then i also wanted to ask if you heard anything back from disney about your offer to them to perhaps use the frozen characters as a way to educate the public. >> i'm afraid my name isn't very good at disney right now. for those of you who don't know and i don't know how you couldn't -- actually when you go home tonight google papp disney arctic. last time i checked, there's at least ten pages of articles there. one of the proposals we had, a briekt young lady in my man who was a big fan of the movie "frozen." she can recite the entire script of the movie and sing all the songs. but she suggested that we need to start teaching the youth about the arctic and perhaps having some public service announcements done with the disney characters from the movie "frozen" ana and sven and olaf. i know this because i have granddaughters and watch the movie all the tim

that's what the american public expects. that's what harry reid said. >> can you bring the senate bill on the floor? the senate passed full funding of dhs without the -- without the extraneous amendment on the immigration policy. can that pass the house of representatives? >> we sent the bill back to the senate. the democrats had a motion to instruct and it failed on the floor. that answers the question right now as of now no it cannot. >> what will happen in five days? >> the best thing for the american public is we do our job, washington changes, the senate and the house get together and sticks their differences and find common ground. >> this is not the reality we live in. the reality we live in how do you fund this in five days? >> from the majority leader of the house, i will be in that room and help solve that problem. all we need is harry reid to say the same thing and this can all go away and be solved. 57% of the senate agrees with us. we can get this done very quickly and never -- let me make one point very clear.

clinton set up this e-mail routine, these records have been kept from the american public, that senior officials knew it for years and did nothing. >> judicial watch in the past has received more information than even to the public. >>> most of us are familiar with the popular netflix series house of cards. the show is about politics at every level. kevin spacey plays the president. of course the show is fictitious, but it attempts to showcase reel life policies and preliminary events happening today. so it made me think the other night watching, could some of president underwood's ideas ever happen in real life? should they? he takes on entitlements,al telling the people again, entitlements are killing the nation, you are entitled to nothing, no handouts. so i know you guys both watch the show as well. should the fictitious things that are happening this season, like getting rid of entitlements and telling the american people the truth should that be happening in real life s? >> securing entitlements and preserving them for future general rations, that's been stymied by -- don't forge

the american public transportation resource says 18 agency set records last year but d.c. was not one of them. it had one exception in arlington's art buses which saw a 1.2% increase in passengers. crime is a family affair, a father and son arrested and accused of taking advantage of homeowners. police say paul frank and his son posed at tabor's and overcharged and did not finish the job. right now officers are looking for frank who is wanted in connection with those crimes. >> they are not filled in like they said they would be. tom: the guys who came to her door last month said they would make the driveway look nice. they didn't. >> i felt ripped off. tom: they say that the frank family was running a scam. >> they didn't have the right product and it wasn't done appropriately so i basically through $280 out the window. >> she is not the only one. say that paul, ace and spanky claimed they were using sealant but were actually using black paint mixed with gasoline. police say they scammed folks out of $6,000 and tried to get them to pay more. >> it is disheartening. you ho

and he says, quote the national league of cities in the american public transit association have enjoyedng relationship for many decades. the results of which have been tremendous. transit progress for the cities we serve. our great transit accomplishments in the salt lake region is an important example of the benefit of this collaboration. as the nlc president and mayor of salt lake, i look forward to continuing to work with apta toward a long-term, well-funded transportation reauthorization this year. the president proposed grow america act is an important contribution to this must do reauthorization effort. so with that, those who participated yesterday in the legislative conference heard from a gentleman called jeff loving. there to represent america's infrastructure alliance. he made three key points that will be the focus of today's conversation. number one come make it local. okay. you have local here. number two talk about economic benefits and commerce. talk about how transportation does what it's done in utah. talk about how it will affect your community. and lastly, perhaps mo

administration are saying in holding back these criminal illegal immigrants is the hell with american public safety. this isn't just any longer about immigration. this is about simply risking the lives of american citizens. >> lou, that is an exact accurate analysis when you really look at it. and there's some 340,000 convicted criminals that should be deported that are loose across the united states. some from north carolina to california and in between and yet, what we do is we talk about the respect for the rule of law? this administration is showing that they're willing to put people in harm's way to get their way. lou: and let's turn quickly if we may to iran speak of the rule of law. congress circumvented by this administration, and apparently under consideration by this administration. this president is turning to the united nations to create what would be in effect a binding treaty between the united states and the palestinians and iran, if not israel and the creation of a second state, a go ahead for an iranian nuclear treaty that no one has seen yet. >> well, it is troubling, you'r
