we are not proposing a carte blanche to object to any merger.nt from has been advanced in france. affect the national economic interests. my issue, let's be absolutely clear, is not that this is a foreign takeover. we have had successful foreign takeovers in the u.k. , there have been tremendous successes. ibm and cisco. we are open for business. but i think to take what the chamber of commerce said yesterday, you can be an open economy without saying yes to every single merger. that is the worry here. we are open for business but as a government you take an interest in the structure of your economy. we have seen the detrimental effect and balances have had. we have got astrazeneca in a leading sector for the u.k.. this is the way we compete in the world through sectors like that that are innovating and investing in r&d. >> when you were speaking with ed, what would you have wanted to hear? would it be that the minimum 20% of r&d would remain here? companies become more efficient and you do not need jobs. >> there is a difference in approach bet

some people might blanch at that, but people are human. another thing to keep in mind. talk about the ex-tachange of prisoners. the fact five were released, left by plane. we now understand at 2:00 p.m. eastern from guantanamo bay, and the concern about the fact that, yes, the qatari government is promising he won't be returned to the battlefield, but how can you be sure? >> well, the united states and qatar government have a close relationship. we've dealt with each other clearly while at war in their back yard and have strong relationships with them. we do intelligence exchanges. we share information quite readily. we know them, and they know us. so anything that happens with these release tall pann fighters in qatar, we will be apprised what's going on. clearly we have to have the invitation of the qatari government to do that. we do up front and i'm sure this was one of the conditions to be released from guantanamo. >> and former prisoner of war himself, john mccain, is raising questions about the idea, if in a imen -- more specifically allowing five people to leave

and of course he blanched and as it turned out there was not a peacekeeping force but a multinational force. but you have an extraordinary degree of access to this and have done a really remarkable piece of research about the development of some of these figures. so i'm wondering if you could reflect a bit on the dilemma of accountability and militarization and how to cope with such people as the country is transitioning from a transnational water and i don't know what to call it, but to a greater stability and political legitimacy. >> let me just start saying what a huge privilege it is to share these two comfortable chairs with you. for all of us who have studied, this has been the central sort of text that we have started with. so to be here and get to talk about my book is really wonderful. so i think that the conundrum or the central dilemma that you present about the presence of these actors come in fact that they were partners of the u.s. military, and then the question of what to do with them, that was sort of the central western that led to the writing of this book. for me, i

force -- a southern senator give a tour de force performance like that since lindsey graham played blanchebois in "a streetcar named desire." if you are here now, you can drop character anytime, man. oh, my. i am not going to spoil the shocking twist on "house of cards." just know that it was so surprising that nancy pelosi's face almost changed expression. did you like that one, nancy? i cannot tell.

and of the congress and of the house of representatives and remove steven king's undeserved carte blanche on immigration policy. madam president, we had a vote in the house. the senate bill as -- if we had a vote in the house, the senate bill as passed would pass today, and it would pass with both democratic and republican votes. we have the votes in the house to pass the senate bill. we just need the will of the republican leadership behind a bill that reduces the deficit, increases the g.d.p., creates jobs, and i can't understand for the life of me why they cannot break this stranglehold by a few against the will of the many. considering that there are enough votes in the house to pass the senate bill and send it to the president, we deserve action. 11 million people deserve at the very least the political courage to face down the extreme minority and do what is right and govern from a commonsense center. now, time is not on our side. there is a limited window of opportunity. we only have about another two months, at most, for the speaker to act, so it's in the speaker's hands. does he

any woman who says she might want to be intimate in the future gives cart blanch? an outrageous decision and it sets women back and it really is going back to the old days where women are like she deserved it, she was wearing that skirt or she had too many drinks or she was at the barbie themselves. >> was there anyway this could be deemed appropriate. >> i want to say that i spent a lot of my career prosecuting child sex crimes and that's exactly what this is. i have put a lot of people in prison for doing this. i do think that this sentence in and of itself does appear to be reasonable to me. our prisons are overcrowded. they do no rehabilitate. each case needs to be looked at factually, i think it is reasonable. we're talking 45 days in prison, not a lot of time. five years supervised probation and someone who has to register as a sex offender probably for the rest of his life. when you look at that it is reasonable. he also has to go back to prison every october 4, the anniversary of the rape, and serve more time. i think we want our judges to be reasonable. i

. >> and i gave her carte blanche after that. >> speaking of carte blanche, you know that i can't lethis morning. >> well, my selfie was clothed. >> what? oh. >> in contrast to your selfies, which are not clothed. >> you are six months pregnant now, right? i think a little skin would get you into the 50,000 -- likes? >> no, you are like 50,000 stop take that away. >> what's the most? >> not anywhere near james franco territory. >> a little skin with a pregnant belly, that will get you up there. >> and seth rogen was up there. i'm sure we can throw a couple of them up. >> put them up. a little blurred out here. i'm being censored here. >> children watch this show. what do you find about big bear that is so artistically enticing? >> well, there's a lot to talk about and i don't have that much time. but anyway, some other artist took it upon himself to do these sketches of seth. in the nude. and seth didn't pose for them. this artist depicted seth and he wouldn't have gotten much attention for these sketches except that he put seth's face on it. and so i felt like oh, here he is appropri

also here former democratic senator blanche lincoln. we've been talking about the midterm.hat is going to define what this race comes down to? are we going to battle about health care, immigration, or is it really just about president obama? >> well, interestingly enough, it's about more than all of those things. as i have been traveling around the country, what i have discovered is that people recognize that this is a pivotal election. this one and the one in 2016 in terms of what kind of nation -- >> do we ever cover nations that aren't pivotal moments for our country? >> i think this is more pivotal. >> what is at stake? >> what is at stake is what kind of place is america going to be? are we truly an exceptional nation with a different core of values than the rest of the world? is that what led us to the pinnacle position in the world? are we a nation that's for and by the people or for and by the government. that's what this election is about. >> what's interesting about that, chuck, is it gets to this larger thing about has obama weakened america? here at home or abro

. >> knowing comey, i mean, i give him a carte blanche. he's so good. for ten years i've known him. he's going to be -- he's great. he's like 8 feet tall. congress has authorized the agency to add 2,000 recruits mostly to fight cybercrime. we can't find anyone that knows about computers that doesn't get high, basically, i think they're saying. if you smoked pot in the last three years -- i didn't think you could ever have smoked pot. they're trying to a memend the policy. >> i think i can apply now. obviously i never inhaled or exhaled, kids. ones that could be watching. is this me or you? >> i believe it is becky. >> this is an interesting story. a middle school in rhode island has canceled its honors night. school administrators are citing the exclusive nature of the annual event. >> i'm totally with this. totally agree with this. >> instead of the traditional celebration, students will be honored during team-based ceremonies. it will afford us the opportunity to celebrate the individual and collective success of all students and their effort. >> yes, thank you. >> their progress

so unhinged from the constitution it would be nice to break them into three accept -- separate -- blanches but it is more mush now. there is the massive administrative branch as well. the 4th branch as i call it. the goal or the purpose of the book is to talk about revising the constitution and the republic but also to reform people how the republic is supposed to look and how the constitution is supposed to function and move some away from the government to the states acting collectively. >> you write about the 17th amendment saying it serves not the public interest but the interest of the governing masterminds and their crew. it is because they knew it would be one of several important mechanisms for empowering the federal government and unraveling constitutional republici republi republic. >> guest: if you look at the constitution, it is complex. you have a central government with limited power, three branches working with each other, sometimes checking each other and of course you have the states where the individual power exist and the individual sovereignty exist obviously. so this i

carte blanche on making that decision on his own and it turned out to be a failure i think putin decided that he needed to. return and take control of things the other issue i'd like to pick up on is the media issue it's been actually it's been shameful actually the way the united states media has discussed what has occurred in death and i want to extend my condolences to all the people in the u.s. and everyone else who suffered in this unnecessary conflict. what's really despicable is that this be is being described as a fire breaking out and people being killed in most of the media and in some cases the only group that's mentioned in connection with it are the pro russian wrote russian forces even or. that they somehow had a hand in it or in the text the progression force or mention closely enough to the deaths of vents that and inattentive reader unknowledgeable reader would perhaps assume that the repro russian forces were behind the setting the place. and this is actually absolutely just at best criminal negligence and at worst sheer criminal propaganda as far as i'm concerned and t
