if we do i think we can win this state because it's true congressman dennis kucinich of ohio thanks so much for taking the time today we appreciate it and we're going to have much more on the resignation of a congressman anthony weiner just now that's right he gave him a vow to meet it and then just cut him off just like nancy pelosi but it's really mind boggling there were an economic crisis the illegal wars are being waged on behalf of the american people but the media doesn't want to talk about any of that i guess maybe that's what happens when you're a corporate owned you know what to anger the corporate overlords by pointing out the fact that it's corporations those military contractors the benefit for waging on stop wars or maybe the fact that corporate profits are soaring all the rest of america suffers you see if you just don't say it maybe the american people will never know those problems and all that corruption exists to just show taking the wiener and everything else will go away. yes emory here in the same thing that you are if you can just see a little bit of this room i

stand by mark i want to bring in ohio congressman dennis kucinich it's good to see you congressman as always obviously anthony wiener was a very forceful voice and the liberal and of the party your reaction and does this indeed mean that you can get on with the business of congress. you know his whole conspiracy. what really war wieder gave me this is absurd listen to what happened with the congressman did actually get in a few words about the war. if we do i think we can wear it on him and destroy the constitution congressman dennis kucinich of ohio thanks so much for taking the time today we appreciate it and we're going to have much more on the resignation of a congressman anthony weiner just now that's right she gave him a vow to meet it and then just cut him off just like nancy pelosi and it's really mind boggling there were an economic crisis the illegal wars are being waged on behalf of the american people but the media doesn't want to talk about any of that i guess maybe that's what happens when you're a corporate owned you don't want to anger the corporate overlords by pointi

. >> i don't see that happening, but there is consistency on the part of dennis kucinich and walter johns here, that they took that position under the previous administration. what i find rather disturbing or rather fascinating is to watch these people readjust, whether it is john boehner becoming a boarding and supporter of the war powers act or the democrats -- born-again a supporter of the war powers act or the democrats who railed about the need for the war powers act under george bush saying this is not really a military action. >> even though the drones worked pretty well, i cannot help but believe there will come a time when we regret the ease. we aren't trying to assassinate gaddafi, although we don't quite add that -- admit that. >> we are not. nato is. >> but we provide 75% of nato. nato is us. although these things can work, i have an uneasy feeling that the time is going to come when we regret having been quite so cavalier about it. >> nato is more kabuki >-- us or nato is more kabuki. dennis kucinich, dovish democrat, gave a backhanded compliment to the constitutional , asncy

i think so i had a chance to speak with congressman dennis kucinich last week about his he's one of the authors of this bill one of the sponsors of this bill and he was adamant about the fact that he being a democrat that his democratic president was not following the law and that congress should have been informed much for fully about this operation but again we get into the situation of the united states sort of having one foot in this in this conflict another foot out which i think the president barack obama is depending on that kind of thinking that kind of logic to justify the presence of of american influence in these nato strikes is that decision by the lower house. not exactly representing what the american people are thinking at the moment because obviously they're saying about we can't have the authority but they are saying let's carry on with the funding is the american taxpayer getting a little fed up now with the funding of overseas conflicts. well again that's a great question because in this country a lot of talk shows american talk shows that many people are saying a ver

they will not explain that dennis kucinich is a marginal member of congress. with all due respect.etimes i think foreign policy is too serious to be left to members of congress. it sounds anti-democratic in spirit you can't send amateur congressmen coming in and looking around for a day or two for a few hours and then coming and pronouncing on very complicated matters. >> when you spoke with dennis kucinich, did he say he was coming from washington with a message from anyone from the u.s. government, the obama administration? or did he just say he was there on his own. >> he said he was there on his own. he said he did not speak for the obama administration. this was a fact-finding mission. he hadn't written his report yet, but what i found interesting is that he said he met with members of the opposition, but here in syria, members of the opposition often times, those who haven't been vetted by the government or authorized to gather in the way that the opposition members that gathered in the damascus hotel did, don't come forward. they still are very much afraid for their own safe

. >> ohio congressman dennis kucinich, a democrat, filed a lawsuit this week against u.s. president barack obama, a democrat. kucinich and nine other house members are suing the president for violating the war powers act. the 1973 war powers act calls on the president to notify congress when u.s. troops are in combat situations and to withdraw them within 60 days of the notification unless both houses of congress declare war or otherwise approve the use of the troops. the 10 lawmakers argue that the president violated this war powers act by not receiving congressional approval for u.s. military actions against libyan leader moammar gaddafi. president obama's 60 days safe harbor period ended without any authorization from congress. north carolina republican congressman walter jones says the president not only violated the war powers act, but also the u.s. constitution. >> where and when does the constitution say to a president, you may bypass congress and send millions of dollars of bombs and equipment over to invade a country that is not a threat to you? >> on wednesday, p

area of all this is that dennis kucinich, very dovish liberal democrat who is suing over this, the libya war and the non- consultation, acknowledged that the bushes, father and son, had consulted and not approval from congress in advance. >> in decisive, but he did pull the trigger on osama bin laden -- >> what president would not have? >> excuse me -- >> come to you and said -- >> didn't president clinton had a chance to pull the trigger? >> the decisions he made a leading up to bin laden were the most difficult and gutsiest he had seen from any president. on what charles said about libya, certainly we would get a better position if, after the attack, he had gone and gotten a resolution from congress approving that. it shows the wisdom of doing that when you still got some support. by charles had a very thoughtful column about this whole issue -- column.es' [unintelligible] >> with that kind of endorsement, i may have to reconsider. >> the president received from congress a resolution that calls for regime change in iraq. that was already on the table. you have to give the bushes credit

. >> one of every liberal member, democratic congressman dennis kucinich, proposing a withdrawal from libya. we are told that the piggyback is empty and we have to do something about national security, we're told that national security requires a presence in iraq, afghanistan, now libya, secret meetings in pakistan. voters are getting restless. >> in part because the president, the one who is involved us in the big, has yet to give us a coherent explanation of what -- it would involve us in libya, has yet to give us according explanation of what it is we are after and how we will get their. america initiating a war in libya -- america-supported action, we were the main thrust, and then withdrawing to the rear, allowing europe, which cannot defeat half of libya, to carry on a mission that is going on and on. if the reason for the mission was humanitarian, and i respect that, what we have done by withdrawing, starting and withdrawing partially, is a prolonged agony and the bleeding and the killing. >> i will argue with that completely. that is not the point at all. there is the humanita

they certainly didn't want to lose the second one, and i will say, you mentioned dennis kucinich and his effort coming up after july 4. he should have an amendment on a defense spending bill that will completely cut off spending. >> brown: that's still to come. >> still to come. 144 republicans votedly for the defund, this partial defund, many of them not because-- many of them, you know, didn't vote for it because it wasn't strong enough. when a full defund come,how many member will vote for something that's as strong as it conclude, choking off funding. where will the chips fall on that. >> brown: let me ask you about the republicans. yesterday john boehner made a statement to sort of reassure, i guess, nato allies that it was a symbolic gesture, that the u.s. forces will still be there. so they were playing an interesting game in all this as well, right sqloo domestic politics clashes with foreign policy, leaders have to do this. the speaker knows that even if a defund had passed the house tcouldn't pass the senate skrks even if it pass the the senate, this is a bill. the presiden

problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's foray into the former yugoslavia dennis kucinich in the group of other congressmen and even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and they went to a district court for the district court said end of the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are going to support the the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be it works. to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power the u.s. military is also moving into yemen. the west goes in with start bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think that will make the situation markedly worse. later in the program when you look at how the super l
