free press we're at we're sort of alone in the wilderness right now. in raising a big stink about this we're actually deeply disturbed by the fact that this person who who ruled on on a major major deal that a lot of people including free press believe should never have happened should never been allowed to happen. is is now. profiting for lack of a better term from that very decision. which isn't to say she should never be allowed to earn a living but the fact that you know it's it's like a a mourning widow who's remarried before the the autopsy is done on her late husband you know and well and the flip side of this is that more than half of all the members of congress who have retired from congress in the last twenty years have gone on to become lobbyists nice basically in this town you know junior lobbyists people who are just kind of knocking on doors for a living story about it how two hundred thousand dollars a year for a member of congress can start out at three hundred to five hundred thousand dollars a year former senator can start out of a mi

free press, china doesn't have. and censorship is violence against humans.and it doesn't matter you'd are in development or developing country. and so-called developed countries shortly have a constitutional protection or infrastructure among other things, to more or less guarantee the space, the degree of freedom. but in every different country, you have your own economic, own economic empowerment on your own political context. but come to very basics, freedom of expression cannot be compromised, simply by economic condition or a political context. china today, i'm going to name three people sitting in prison right now. number one, the online one who can only write articles published website outside of china. nobel peace laureate sitting in prison in china. number two, an online writer, blogger, does nothing but write his political critiques online now in prison. third one, internationally known artist and it has lots of his activism online using twitter. he is in prison today. china has developed or developing or developing doesn't meant that these people

le -- they loved this wednesday in the "detroit free press," "jobs near precrash levels," the headline about g.m. adding 4,000 jobs. this is important because the midwest is a swing state area and jobs are necessary. also they can make a turn here and say the president's plan with g.m. which was to get in there and a lot of people said just let the car companies died but he went in there and revived them and the white house put out a release that said "how tough love averted catastrophe and led to 4,200 new jobs," about as subtle as an atom bomb. but if they can sell the economy, they'll be in good shape. >> all the candidates you have been discussing are familiar faces to us. romney tried and didn't make it last and i'm. grippinggring invokes images of 1995. ron paul was joking himself that is the third time around. is the party going to have a come to a moment where they have is to make a old -- new or old party decision like the democrats did? if so what do the polls tell you about which way they'll go on that? >> well, every party wants a new face in a situation like this. the fact

the side of the journalists that what's so important keeping what makes our nation great is our free press that's what makes us better than other countries if you ask me and tell me i don't like either central principle of this is that is that you know journalists can protect their source in bradley manning's a great case i mean you look at his case it wasn't as if he was sifting through information and trying to get information out there specific information he needed to be out there he was just the only car with your god and so on was this video of american soldiers killing the two workers journalists this is a crime now you know i i'm going to i guess i don't use it it doesn't matter tend to know him because we haven't even heard statements yet but but. if it is more there's another game that if somebody knows that their government has committed a crime and then they don't leak it because they're afraid of being prosecuted that that for that saying that you're not you're not connecting dots here you know what his motivation was doesn't matter right and what he did all i'm saying it does

the free press is working on an electronic version of a book focused on the conflict between the u.s. al qaeda. and st. martin's press says it's rushing a book about the navy seal unit that killed osama bin laden. >>> all right. our time is now 5:57. there are new details coming out this morning about how osama bin laden was killed. how president obama his advisors actually saw the secret operation and what the president may do now to prove to the world bin laden really is dead. >>> plus testing pg&e pipelines. the plan for today, where it will happen and how people will be effected. >>> good morning. there's some fog out there. will it stick around and keep us cool? or will it get wiped out and warm up? we'll have the answer in two minutes.

we have free press here. i'll defend that until the end, but, look, there's only two defenses. i didn't do it, or it was consensual. if there's physical evidence linking the two of them sexually, the only defense is it's consensual. then the question is are their marks or contusions? is he going to say it's consensual rough sex. a 32-year-old maid walks into the room of a 62-year-old man and has consensual sex with him. >> there are many outrageous theories. we're all hearing different versions. that he has been linked this escort agency and that he may have ordered an escort and thought the maid was -- have you heard this rumor some. >> yes. that's the rumor. >> does it seem a potentially credible one to you? >> i don't know. i don't know. i would think that the d.a. probably investigated that, and if that were true, it would affect -- >> you still can't rape an escort. how is that a defense? that's a dangerous defense. if you have physical evidence that there was and type of a struggle and evidence that she was in the bathroom with him, she escaped and she was almost at freed

we are -- we have the luxury of a genuine free press. they killed the reporter in this country, it is half, the mob has done this a couple of times and so forth and there was talk during the nixon era of assassinating jack anderson who was a columnist, but they didn't. so it is with a lot of gratitude and a lot of admiration that i salute you operating in your country, because what we do is a cake walk. >> absolutely.

and being believers in the free press, we got out and looked what dr. kissinger was doing.nd he was, i tell you, this mattered to him. this was a big deal. and he answered all the questions, and then got down and total it all up, and it turned out he died eight years ago. [laughter] not happy. not happy at all. and so, what did kissinger do? he reached into his diplomatic tool bag and opened shuttle diplomacy with a question. he got out his a racer and restored. well, it turned out he hadn't eaten red meat since 1949. it turned out he exercise several times a day. turns out all of these things, and he rescored it all. and at the end it turned out after the re- scoring that he had eight years to live the. now, that's what we fight in journalism everywhere in the world, the rescoring that takes place by people in government, particularly in business, in the media, in working on my last book, "obama's wars," i know i would interview people sometimes hours or days after an event, and then six months ago you wouldn't revisit the decision point, and they would say oh, yeah, my vi

my first book is -- from free press coming out this september. there were a lot of novels coming out right now by musicians, steve earle, i will never get out of this world alive. joe henry's line creek. this is about a classical musician, classical pianist. he was a prodigy in bulgaria where he was born. he started studying when he was four years old. he won his first competition at age 10. and ended up as studying jazz in boston, one of the premier places to study jazz in this country. and then he went to a monastery for several years and became a buddhist monk. quite a change. he wrote a memoir called turtle feed that you might know about the cover that part of his life. clearly he is the model for the character in this particular novel constantine who is a talented and audacious young pianist studying at a school for the gifted. that is where the students are rewarded as long as they toe the party line. but the truly talented resist by drinking, smoking and having lots of or the difference between this and that standard a coming of age story

challenged him in the presidential election and the repression and imprisonment of members of the free pressg one of the polish press, so since this crackdown has begun, poland and the united states have coordinated closely on belarus, both bilaterally and through the eu. we appreciate poland's leadership on this issue, including the strong support of belarus civil society and the generosity, to its people. we are looking forward to strong cooperation on this front. last point i guess i will make, we discussed our respective relationships with russia and i am a strong believer that the reset between the united states and russia has benefits this region as well as the united states and russia because it's reduced tensions and has i think facilitated genuine dialog about how each country can move forward. we very much appreciate poland's pragmatic approach to their relationship with russia. i applaud the prime minister for his determination to continue these efforts, even if it is not always the most politically popular thing to do. we both believe that we cannot compromise on our most cherish

how far have we come from a daily billing 60 years ago criticizing, saying the press is free only for those who own one. >> is a great question. i am going to go back to that first question, the quality of digital journalism. we are more than 15 years into internet news. still, you hear people say it is coming along. someday it will be good. quality journalism existed on the internet from day one. it was there. the internet journalists were winning awards from day one. there is a lot of noise surrounding it, which makes it seem worse, say, than "the chronicle." quality journalism is there. the new part of the media is not a new types of stories being told, but how they are being told, short for nurses long form, and how they are distributed on your one newspaper or magazine or one website, versus to run the mobile universe, or threat the internet universe, portals. do you want to give 30% of revenue to apple in order to distribute it? lots of publishers are making that decision. it is the distribution from free tv to pay tv and the change from the free online destination media to mobi

state institutions, the free press, open in intense public discourse. the of the dicks. bake guides and inspires them to teach equality, justice, security, peace, progress, and prosperity. pakistan was impacted by that conflict in afghanistan. we together with the rest of the world decided to uphold the principle of self-determination for the great afghanistan nation. we opened our homes and our hearts to those who fled the conflict in afghanistan and supported the great jihad. however, is necessary to remind everyone about that era which has been so well documented, even the video of high-ranking officials to go back to their homes, to go back to the mosques, in the name of islam and as a national duty. for all this was real. is it necessary for us to remind the international community of the decade of the 1990's? who was responsible for the birth of al qaeda? who was responsible for making osama bin laden? to find answers to today's questions, it is necessary to revisit the not so distant past. collectively we must knowledge and c are places in history. but we alone ca

. >> i would just say that we have a free press here. people can say whatever they want as long as it sells advertising. >> i am going to try to get into the title 10-title 50 distinction because it is critical to what is going to happen tomorrow morning when the next situation like this comes along, if we get lucky enough to get good intelligence on more high-value targets. we are talking about a couple of different things here. i would say that what the president did, under the way they conducted the operation on bin laden, he used his title 50 authorities with a lawful finding that had been properly notified to congress. that was supported by special operations forces under title 10, but the delegated authority under title 10 went to the title 50 authority, which was superior in this matter, and the president was covered by the finding on this. what is different about pakistan, for the first time in my living memory, a covert operation is called a covert operation for a simple reason. there is always plausible deniability. within 3 se

as -- a free press, open and intense public discourse are our great strength. the escalation -- [unintelligible] that inspires them to seek equality, justice, security, peace, progress, and prosperity. for 30 years, pakistan was conflict. in that struggle, we with the rest of the world decided to uphold the principle of self- determination. we opened up our homes and hearts to those who supported the great job. it is perhaps necessary to remind everyone about that terror which has been so well . [unintelligible] all this was real. we have continued to suffer from its effects. as a necessary for us to remind the international community of volunteers who had joined the jihad the mutated into al qaeda? who was responsible for the birth of al qaeda? who was responsible for making the method of osama bin laden? the answer to today's question period is necessary to revisit the not so distant past. collectively, we must the knowledge this in the middle of history. pakistan alone cannot be held to account for flawed policies. pakistan is not the first [unintelligible]

that the fed so when the reports come out and i fear they will come out the same time and the press is free to pay attention to the emergency landing and no attention to governance everybody here, anybody that cares about these issues read the report on the governments, no idea what it's going to say that's what we need to focus on. >> i don't have a specific recommendation but i definitely think that it's very timely to think about the government structure of the fed to address the regulatory and risk assessment issued. it's a pretty big board. they have long term and not much has been done to think about how to align that talent with the mandate and i think it is appropriate to start over and think about what is the modern origins. >> i would be totally in favor of not allowing the regional bank presidents to be voting members and the question of replacing them that is a tougher one. for somebody that thinks the but too much inflation on little on unemployment it's hard to imagine what could be that much worse but it's also hard to imagine exactly a politically acceptable way to depict th
