[laughter] why is there a glob of salad next to the japanese chicken in my plate lunch? they left with the first boat load of new england missionaries bound for hawaii in 1819, and that it's saturday and rainbow drive only receivers the chicken four days a week. a banyon is a fine spot to sit beneath and ponder the box of takeout. none of us belong here. not me, not the food, not the chicken soaked in soy sauce, not even the tree. like a lot of people and things in these islands, banyons are imports from somewhere else. in this case, india. the banyon's branches shoot off sprouts that drift down and take root into the ground forming new trunks to support more and more trunks until each tree is its own spooky little forest.

the united states declared war in spain in 1898 and the mckin ley administration annexed hawaii. the united states became a world power for the first time, became what it is now. hoorah for hawaii when he heard the news from cuba. he was in the caribbean with the rough riders licking the spanish . the end results was american control of guantanamo bay. to roosevelt and his like-minded cronies, the most important objective of all the 1898 maneuvers was possession of far flung islands for naval bases and ports like guantanamo and pearl harbor. they pined for the bases for years the way a normal man envisions his dream house. [laughter] all they ever wanted was a cozy global empire with a few islands here and there to park a fleet of battleships. that japanese dive bomber sank four of those battleships in pearl harbor december 7, 1941 is how i got interested in hawaii in the first place a few years back. the purpose of any initial visit was a quick jaunt to see the uss arizona memorial, the monument in the harbor per muched above the grave of the 177,000 sailors to died on the ship

would have to reflect changes on the ground in other words some settlement blocks probably will be annexed to israel and then the persons that understood that from the mid ninety's on and his statement in two thousand and five that any changes to the armistice line of one hundred forty and i would have to be mutually agreed upon in other words this is by the way another important security council resolution which is for seven six for nine hundred eighty. israel has to withdraw from jerusalem so it is not as if two four two four seven six the security council resolutions give israel the option of keeping all of jerusalem is not only out he was talking about that is that is not ok according to the un security council and international law i can but again before we go to the break and thirty seconds before we go to break i had. well i dispute that as well i don't have enough time to go into the details there but the fact is we have to ask ourselves why did president obama bring up this controversial issue in this way at this time and the answer has to do with something we should go into the h

not available to palestinians who live there, up to 40% of the land of the west bank would then be annexed to israel. in complete violation of international law. >> if mutually agreed land swaps are going to be important to any event peace deal, we already know something, don't we, about land swaps? what did we learn from the late palestine papers earlier this year that gave some details about those negotiations between israel and the palestinians? >> there's two sort of versions of it. the version that was talked about in some of the palestine papers was the idea that some of the palestinian towns and villages inside israel would be annexed to a new palestinian state. the problem is of course that didn't take into account by any means the opinions of the people who live there. palestinian citizens of israel who want to remain where they are, who want to fight against discrimination inside israel and have no particular interest in being assigned to a different country. it raises the question of whether this is viable. we heard over and over again from the israeli prime minister that the 19

deputy speaker of the israeli knesset his vision for resolving the conflict he said israel should annex all of the jewish communities as he calls them the illegal jewish settlements in the occupied house to an interest or ease. but all of what he calls the uninhabited areas of the west bank and he says we will let the palestinians in the main town of the west bank have independence which means israel will annex ninety seven percent of the west bank and the palestinians in the main town that is to say three percent of the west bank they can have independence bear in mind that the vision of the most moderate element of netanyahu skull ition and he had everybody says or tells hamas what it must do. what about what the is real the government must do and norm these question certainly these questions certainly come at a very interesting time with what we're seeing going on right now what we've seen going on over the last six months with the arab spring israel has found itself through rounded by revolutionaries in the region and there are plenty of concerns i know that you and i have talked ab

the classified annex containing the modified schedule of authorizations is available for review by all members of the house, subject to the rules of the house, and the permanent select committee on intelligence, under which procedures described my announcement to the house on may 3, 2011. the mott fide schedule of authorizations is and has been available for review by members and the period of time required by the rules of the house. mr. speaker, the annual -- excuse me, mr. chairman, the annual intelligence authorization bill i do believe is one of the most important bills that we'll pass in the house each year. i want to thank my ranking member, mr. ruppersberger. we sat down at the beginning of january and decided that matters of national security were too important for infectious partisan debate. and rhetoric. we decided that we would work out through every cause as congenially as possible and agree where we could on every matter where we had a difference moving forward on again matters of intelligence and matters of national security. i think the product we see on the floor today

palestine papers is the idea that some of the palestinians towns and villages inside israel would be annexedw palestinian state. the problem is that it did not take into account the opinions of the people who live there. palestinian citizens that want to remain where they are, fight against discrimination inside israel, and have no interest in being assigned to a different country. it raises the question as to whether it is viable. we have heard from the israeli prime minister that in 1967 borders are not defensible. the problem is without those borders, a tuesday solution is not viable. this is a serious conundrum. i think president obama on one level recognizes it. he says, we will deal with settlements and territory first. later we will deal with the hard stuff, meaning jerusalem and refugees, which this issue -- this talk did not touched this issue, except for the prime minister saying there would be a right of return of palestinian refugees, despite international law. what we are looking at is a situation in which the u.s. and president obama have reflected what president bush and presi

that portion of the pier 29 shed, the non-historic portion, as well as the pier 27 office annex building, which is the -- i do not have a pointer with me, but the small building along the embarcadero next to pier 27. that will be, if all goes well, miraculously developed into the new cruise terminal project, and per the host city and the new agreement, the event of authority is required to demolish pier 27, pier 29, as well as relocate the short side power equipment. this allows the port to come in as what we're calling this one in 2012, to build or construct the shell building, which is noted here. the event authority is then given exclusive use during 2013 for their races. in 2014, the site is returned to the port so that we can finish the phase two construction, and that relates solely towards the -- making it an operable cruise terminal facility as well as competing improvements. as i was mentioning, the funding for this budget really relates to what the cost art. -- what the costs are. the prevailing costs are what has been estimated four phase one as $65.7 million. that includes th

i recommend that members wishing to review the classified annex contact the director to arrange time and date. and members will have assistance. i urge interested members to review these materials in order to better understand the committee's recommendation. the committee's report contains the committee's recommendations on the intelligence bill for fiscal year 2011 and related classified information that cannot be disclosed publicly. it is important that members keep in mind the requimets of clause 13 and house 23 that permits action by those members signed by the oath provided for in the rule. if a member has not signed that oath but wishes to review the classified scheduled authorizations, the committee staff can administer the oath and see that the form is snt to the clerk's office. the rules require that members agree in writing to a nondisclosure agreement. the agreement indicates that the member has been granted access to the classified annex and familiar with the rules of the house and the committee with respect to the classified nature of the information and the limitations

the majority view of catholics around the world, certainly not the view of people here, and one last annex dote, i walked by a side street about an hour ago, and outside a church they had a screen set up for people to watch the mass live. they were rerunning it. there were probably a hundred people in the steps in the sunshine watching it again. i think that tells you a lot about the feeling people have for pope john paul ii. >> and you've done a wonderful job with the coverage, so our thanks to you, and please pass my thanks along to liz le investment, who i spend a day with once, and she's wonderful. >> nothing like it, is there? >> no. >>> so for more on the fast track to sainthood, you can logon to msnbc.com. >>> a libyan spokesman say gadhafi's youngest son and three of his grind children were killed in a strike overnight. this is new video in the covered body. gadhafi and his wife reportedly escaped unharmed. mike taibbi is there for us. mike, have we gotten that confirmation? >> reporter: no, we have not. we have to use the word reportedly a lot. yes, this is all coming from the lib

after israel was established, jordan annexed them in 1950. it was captured by israel in the 1967 war. in 2002 they began building a wall separating the west bank from israel. the west bank's population is now estimated at 2.4 million and that includes about 780,000 palestinian rev gees and about 300,000 israelis. the israeli settlements are deemed illegal under international law but israel disputes this. >>> in new york on friday, dominique strauss-kahn exchanges his prison cell for a manhattan apartment for house arrest. he's expected to be released from raiikers jail. he's charged with trialing to rape a new york hotel employee and forcing other sexual acts possible her. there are seven charges in all. strauss-kahn denies them all. he says he stepped down as imf chief on wednesday to concentrate on clearing his name. strauss-kahn had been seen as a contender for president of france when elections are held next year, cnn's ivan watson has been monitoring reaction. he joins us live from the french capital. as i was watching what happened in t

since then, israel annexed a large part of jerusalem and the west bank and built thousands of settlements, where nearly 300,000 israeli, live among 2 million palestinians, beyond the '67 borders. late thursday, after the president's speech and as prime minister benjamin netanyahu went to washington. he endorsed plans for new settlement houses. the united states going back to president nixon initially called settlement activity illegal. the reagan administration softened that a bit saying settlement was not constructed. bill clinton allowed for natural growth and 2004, president bush added the u.s. now recognized the new realities on the ground. at a tense meeting at the white house friday, netanyahu demanded the white house returned to the bush position and flatly rejected a return to the '67 borders. >> these lines indefensible because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years. remember, before 1967 israel was all of 90 miles wide. half the width of the washington beltway. >> what we

we agree with that annex of those cuts. he recommended taking $100 billion to the troops to modernize their weapons and equipment that are needed and $70 billion thaw for deficit reduction. republicans are great mixed bag on this issue. we believe you have to take spending cuts to this agency. you can put $700 billion into a government agency and not expect waste to occur. we want to make sure we did not dodge taking spending out of dod for deficit reduction. we do that but having said all that i would love nothing more at the budget year to budget for a peace dividend. here's the problem. we are not at peace. we are at war. there's only so far you can go before you compromise the mission and the men and women who are out there serving our country. we don't have the ability to budget for a peace dividend when the world in a more dangerous place. having said that we do cut defense and take $78 billion out for debt reduction in addition to the hundred billion dollars from other parts of dod to give to the troops. if we wait,
