given the obvious lack of popular political support, however, that is a big ask. alazeera, karachi. >> the afghan president will be traveling to cut are in the coming days to discuss possible peace talks with the taliban. hamid karzai intensively pursuing efforts to create a peace deal in this country. finallyed states has reached an agreement tripoli hand over its main detention penalty in cobbled to afghan up -- to afghan authorities. it has been a tension on both sides for some months. >> the head over puts the largest prison run by u.s. forces into afghan hands. last year, the u.s. transferred part of the facility and most detainee's, more than 3000, to afghan control. not all. that made hamid karzai in great. your repeatedly demanded that the prison be handed over. i urge you to stand with me and say that karzai is right and we want to take responsibility for the present and those who are innocent should be released. >> that is what worries u.s. officials, that the afghan government would set free some or all of several dozen detainees still in u.s. hands. >> th

big deal. in 2011, the treasury department asserted that iran and al qaeda were cooperating on certain issues, for example, moving fighters across that region. that would absolutely be a big deal, but this guy was a spokesman for al qaeda in the year after 9/11. he came out with a lot of statements at that time. one of them was asserting the rights for al qaeda to kill 4 million americans, including with chemical weapons and biological weapons. some sof that will be used in court. >> fran, the argument about guantanamo, president obama, of course, tried to argue before he got elected the first time, that he wanted to shut it down, and then he didn't. it's pointed out if one of these people gets released and commits some appalling atraushty, he will be held accountable. is there an argument to say if this man was taken to guantanamo, they would get more out of him? >> i don't think -- look, i think we have to be honest. the best we can see right now, he's been out of the game for over a decade. the notion that there's any sort of realtime actionable intelligence, the odds of that are very small.

>> they are obviously for big, big tax cuts, reverend al, and they are for cutting programs in the middless. they've shown that time and time again. it's clear that the autopsy, which is what you do on a dead body, so that's interesting, is a farce. it's a complete farce. they are saying, okay, we want the votes of young people, african-americans, women, even gays, but we're not going to change our policies to attract you. we're not going to be anything different that will tell you why you should vote for us. so it's a rebranding without any meaning and it's just gotten the party -- i mean, it's gotten the fighting with one of another, are you leaving us out, and reince priebus having to backtrack immediately saying, no, marriage is one man, one woman. they can't change the substance. they think they can change the tone but they can't even change the tone. >> now, krystal, when you look at the fact in the autopsy, they want to move, they say, past 47%, past makers and takers mentality. they say, quote, the republican party must be the champion of those who seek to climb the economic ladde

most of the weapons are going to the more extremist elements and to the al qaeda-related organization in syria. >> that is a big concern, is it not? we saw that weapons from the libyan conflict ended up in mali. where, potentially, could arms and up if they were shipped to the rebels in syria? >> one of the issues was after gaddafi fell, we did not get on the ground in an active way to try to help the libyan authorities stabilize the situation, so, as a consequence, both weapons and fighters went from libya into syria and into mali, for example. there are arms going into syria now, and the people who have those arms, which are increasingly extremist, are using those to knock over arsenals of the syrian army and seizing more arms in syria. my point is this -- there are arms going in now. they are going to the most extreme elements. that is not a good situation. let's level the playing field and get some arms into some groups that are more willing to have an inclusive and democratic solution. >> do you think that could potentially tip the balance against the president at this point? >> i think it is remarkable ho

al? you're young. 2017, no big deal, right, liz?he is young. >> i'm not that young. >> you're not too young to remember that this economy -- charles, you've been saying this, too, we've been in bubble territory since the late '80s, and i don't know if the government has realized that this economy has been almost destroyed by five bubbles since the '80s, housing, real estate, dot.com bubbles, so one analyst said it's as if the u.s. economy was or wearing platform shoes for the last 30 years, but the policies haven't been reset to account for that. that's the issue. they've been so used to the numbers coming -- charles: do you think the string of bubbles is because politicians are so afraid of a hard landing, a short hard landing but a hard landing to readjust that it's always about somehow we've either got to find a soft landing or a false premise or, you know, false facade because we'll be voted out of office? >> yes. and that's why the federal reserve is now on that political fast track. the danger zone is, is that when the economy

they're big concern is they get into the wrong hands, whether they get into hands of terrorists, al qaeda sympathizers, hezbollah, which is a big part of lebanon right now. there's major concerns and the israelis are deeply concerned about that as well. you hear these ominous statements coming out of israel about chemical weapons being used by the wrong folks, if you will, in syria. so this is a huge issue right now, and it's right at the top of the agenda, when the president meets in the next few hours with the israeli prime minister, netanyahu. >> and when you hear the house intelligence chair say to you that there's a high probability that syria used these weapons, it makes everybody stand up. i know you've got a busy show. you'll be on this afternoon, "situation room" at 5:00 p.m. eastern. probably that topic and more with everything that's happening with the president today. wolf, thank you. >> thank you. >>> a crying baby on an airplane. we've all been through it. we've all either had one or we've heard one, and it does make us uncomfortable, in some way, but one man decided to go a
