we'll hear from dennis kucinich about libya. an hour-long a point of personal privilege and then debate on the f.a.a. re-authorization bill.

lawmakers are questioning how obama could make this decision without their approval congressman dennis kucinich went as far as saying that obama's unconstitutional move would appear on its face to be an impeachable offense strong words but don't really go that far earlier i caught up with congressman kasich here in our studio and i first asked him if by suggesting that this could be an impeachable offense he was directly calling for a long as impeachment. or is the question whether whether it's an impeachable offense to go ahead and attack a nation even though there's no actual imminent threat to the united states but would you dollars arsenal prove it would you yourself advocate for the impeachment of president obama the question has to be raised about abuse of executive power that's a serious question and that's a question i'm raising impeachment process that's a whole different thing but as far as whether or not the constitution's been violated i think it has i don't think it's a close question frankly but would you support which you lead the way in terms of leading impeachment at that age t

crowley has he now made his stance very clear joining me from capitol hill is us congressman dennis kucinich congressman kucinich thank you so much for joining us tonight now just for starters here i know that you have put in requests to visit bradley manning yourself so you can check in on his condition on his treatment and so far the access hasn't been granted have you gotten a firm no already feel like you're getting the run around here it's very clear that there's a run around here so it goes i asked the secretary of defense he sent me a response and to talk to the secretary of the army i talked to the secretary of the army he said talk to the secretary of the navy and since they have control marines have control over quantico and then the secretary of the navy said no i have to talk to the secretary of defense so that it's a runaround now what do you think you know the whole situation the fact that p.j. crowley did in fact speak out and to states later he was forced to resign from his position what does that say about this country and about this president. well it says that the administ

forget to consult with his own voters right here at home we're going to speak with congressman dennis kucinich. and what's going on behind closed doors the u.n. security council has called an emergency meeting to discuss the developments in libya we'll have a live report on what prompted the impromptu get together. and the battle for bradley manning protesters blocked monaco marine base demanding the release of the wiki leaks whistleblower but will their cries be heard and will the pentagon listen. now the international minute military intervention in libya continues to unfold western powers you appear to have tightened their grip on libyan airspace following the latest wave of airstrikes now the ongoing bombardment in the libyan capital of tripoli comes as more forces arrive to take part in operation odyssey dawn but the united states france and the u.k. remain the principal participants among these allies artie's polis lior is in tripoli and she joins us now from there with the latest paula good evening to you now what are you seeing what have what have you seen as a solution the situation u

several states including ohio so tonight we have an extended interview with ohio congressman dennis kucinich and at the end of the show it's happy hour so on the way you said i had a college basketball player is cut from the team for admitting that he had sex with his girlfriend stick around for that but first let's move on to our top story. could really be some positive news for the economy becoming consistent the february job numbers are in and the official unemployment rate has now fallen to eight point nine percent the lowest it's been since april of two thousand and nine one hundred ninety two thousand jobs were added and this time the private sector far way out did the public sector as state and local jobs declined by thirty thousand feet of budget cuts and layoffs across the u.s. now usually this is the time the program we say that official unemployment and real unemployment is calculated by the u. six are completely inconsistent this time they use six did take it down as well so with these results can we say that a slow but steady recovery is finally underway or do rising food and oi

in there every day in every way and joining me now to talk more about this is ohio congressman dennis kucinich and congressman let's talk about this you have hillary clinton the secretary of state on one hand saying you know what sometimes we've got a pretty side that do good or humanitarian stuff and then you are president obama being really firm you know for example with libya we've got to help the people talk about this divide. there's another element called common sense common sense should be aligned with principle and principles are not just the principles of a nation or the principles of all humanity and the truth there's the rest of the power for every one of you and for no one it ought so let's look at how you measure real politic the invasion of iraq was real politic it was also based on lies totally in principle the invasion of afghanistan or the rather the occupation based on a misreading of history and ultimately in principle the attempt to use covert ops to knock out a government. some might say real politic and principled and all of these things that are in principle guess what i

. >> congressman dennis kucinich, a liberal democrat, says the president has exceeded his constitutional authority. he did send a letter to congress on monday as saying what he was going to do. has he exceeded his constitutional authority? >> look, we all know that in the modern road, you cannot get the quick congressional vote you might have had a 100 years ago. you just have to act too quickly. i think it's pretty clear that obama did not talk to the leaders of congress himself in a sedition way. that is the best you can hope for, and he did not do it. >> senator richard lugar, highly respected on the foreign relations committee, said that the obama administration did not consult meaningfully with congress before starting military -- >> he is right. >> congress has had a pathetic and track record on this over the years. charles wrote a column and said this is "war run by an ivy league professor." it has the feeling of that, because my guess is that when we go through vulnerable, samantha power, a former kennedy school professor who is an impressive, powerful, charismatic woman, went to

one lawmaker, dennis kucinich of ohio, is calling it possible an impeachable offense and is seeking a resolution to stop all action immediately in libya on behalf of the united states. even supporters say he's got to come back and seek an authorization of force from congress. how long might we be involved? secretary of state clinton says the u.s. is receiving reports, top advisers to gadhafi may want out. they're reaching out to those in europe to see if there may be options to bring this to an end. lynn? >> tracie potts there in washington. tracies, thank you. >>> to japan now where black smoke has been seen emerging from unit three of the crippled fukushima daiichi nuclear plant prompts a new evacuation of all the workers from the complex. officials had reported some progress yesterday after hooking up power lines to all six of its reactor units. however, it may be days if not weeks before critical cooling systems are back up. since crews need to carefully check equipment before turning on the electricity. that development is doing little to allay concerns about food safety. the foo

all the talk by dennis kucinich and palin is just talk in politics.he president does not need congressional approval to commit u.s. military forces for 60 days, especially if it is limited. remember, this is not a unilateral action. this is in response to the u.n. resolution. host: do you think it would do the president well if he were to clarify this mission more with members of congress, maybe in a joint session of congress, and to the american people? guest: -- caller: i do not think it would hurt. naturally, in terms of playing politics, it would probably be inadvisable thing to do. i am assuming, however, that he did not plan to commit u.s. military forces beyond the 60 days. host: president obama, on a trip to latin america, made a stop yesterday in chile. at a joint news conference with their leader, he addressed the situation in libya and talked about the military. >> i could not be prouder of the manner in which the u.s. military has performed over the last several days. it's a testament to the men and women in uniform. when they are given a

lawmakers are now upset about the fact that he did not consult with them including congressman dennis kucinich was on the show earlier now let's look at how this is going to play out depending on whether this mission lasts a couple of days or last longer what happens if gadhafi doesn't leave then if we made the situation even worse for ourselves because now he said no boots on the ground now the military i guess would look weak if they don't not gadhafi out but i think that's the real danger i mean if he if gadhafi stopped his attacks on civilians but remained in power well that's good because billions are dying we've stated our goal that he goes we've enacted this this resolution and taking control of the skies so it's very easy to see as happened in iraq voices in there already we're already seeing them now voices on the american right saying it's just not enough we for our credibility sake we need to go all the way so you can. situation where this there's this momentum toward escalation and it's very difficult for any president to to get away from that and perhaps very dangerous as well now

congressman dennis kucinich says the bombings that are reportedly caused civilian deaths and possible humanitarian crisis have been carried out by the u.s. unconstitutionally. since congress wasn't consulted on whether to go to war and i think the only real power congress has here to assert itself as the people's representative is to stop funding you can do it with a few leaders but there are five hundred thirty five members of congress the constitution of the united states makes it abundantly clear that the war powers is put in the hands of the congress this is not an academic issue by the way because what we have is a president who basically is assumed as a matter of executive privilege the war power the bombing that has occurred through it and in large no fly zone where the no fly zone mandate was expanded to go after these troops and then expand it further to help the rebels as they move towards tripoli there's no way you can avoid civilian casualties and so what we're doing here is enlarging humanitarian crisis with more people becoming refugees with more civilians put at risk of

congressman dennis kucinich says it's time for washington to think of diplomatic methods to ease tensions in the middle in the muslim world rather than cultivate more conflicts there. we are in a fourth war here fourth from pakistan plus iraq and afghanistan. going to these wars and the united states does not have unlimited power we should be trying to find a way to effect more with the muslim community worldwide which means getting out of afghanistan out of iraq out of. away from the explosion currents in pakistan that doesn't mean ceding to terrorism it means you work with the world community this is a massive intervention already in the name of a no fly zone which isn't like telling people you just can't park in this space it's really a massive attack on the defense structure of a nation we're in a war. a history of u.s. involvement in the complex of the years suggests the future is bleak for colonel gadhafi a matter whether the libyan people don't buy it or not that's one opinion point and peter viles to pay child cross talk that's coming your way. our mission is to remove gadhafi eit

house of representatives dennis kucinich tells our washington steps into libya the people are not khadafi may be the ones who suffer. all over the middle east north africa you see people rising up and challenging their governments the right of self-determination is an inherent right but because it doesn't become self-determination or become something else had any nation intervenes on one side or the other so the fact of the matter is there are times that an intervention is not called point a matter how we much we'd like to do it because if we intervene then what we're going to be doing is let's say we intervene and those who are challenging mr gadhafi then you can point to that and say this is just the united states trying to knock me off and try to create more intrenchments which would cause least half of libya to be lost and you know oppression. and for more on the crisis gripping libya and the entire region stay tuned for some opinions from the streets of the big apple coming your way to few minutes. we'll be cheese was good for him we moved it off with you this guy it was just a matte

the dennis kucinich group, i mean they're still anti-war and very consistent anti-war but then there are others that actually i was pretty disappointed. i just assumed they would be with us then have not been. tavis: i know have you to run to a vote. three quick questions right quick. number one, is there going to be a budget shutdown over this budget destpwhate >> well, have i been predicting at there won't be but i'm not betting any money on it. it's a pretty messy business. but don't think it's in anybody's interest, political interest, to allow that to happen than it would be zwroust become blame game. so my guess is something will become of it but i guess we have to wait and see. i'm not on the inside of those decisions. all i know is i oppose spending because i feared big spending and deficits for a long, long time and argued the case we would get into a financial crisis if we didn't get our house in order. so i only can speak for myself but i will not support any spending bills that continue this process. tavis: my final two questions, number one, are you going to run for the

calling this assault grave and says that at last constitutional authority earlier i spoke with dennis kucinich a democrat representing the state of ohio and here is part of that conversation with him but you could look at a war as a swamper one step in a slot you can suck up to and there is no limited intervention one hundred tomahawk missiles not limited one hundred twenty four sites here not limited to that eighty two thousand pound bombs according to one general should be or have been dropped not limited this is a massive intervention already in the name of a no fly zone which isn't like telling people you just can't park in this space it's really a massive attack on the defense structure of a nation we're in a war and it has to be recognized as such and it was out without the approval of the united states congress so is this president sinking this country in a slump and is this president thinking the united states in the swamp he's taking us in a direction with this that it is. very dangerous. and he should be taking us out of afghanistan and he's taken his people into afghanistan and shou

layers is the cost and one pretty well known lawmaker says that money should be polled congressman dennis kucinich he's here in studio to talk about that and i know congressman you wrote a letter to the president last week talking about a few of your frustrations about what's going on and you said pretty bluntly i want to pull this funding talk about this. since congress wasn't consulted on whether to go to war in iraq the only real power congress has here to assert itself as the people's representatives is to stop funding now when you say congress wasn't consulted i mean the president did meet with the leadership houses and you can meet with a few leaders but there are five hundred thirty five members of congress the constitution of the united states makes it abundantly clear in article one section eight that the war powers is put in the hands of the congress this is not an academic issue by the way because what we have is a president who basically is assumed as a matter of executive privilege the war powers and this has grave implications for our democracy and i know one of your other criticisms
