let's go to assistant professor of government at georgetown university, good to have you with us. how on earth can a country hold a credible election when it's at war? >> well, certainly its window dressing, but on the other hand it's important to bear in mind that this country is a split country, there is a real civil war, and it's not clear even in a free and clear election that assad would not get the majority of votes. there are people who do support him and that has been seen in the last four years of war. >> as you say against him the opposition is weak, they're split, and because of the constitution most can't run. >> that's right. they have to be in the country for ten years. that's not unusual in other constitutions as well. that should not be the concern. but there has been pressure in the international community to further the cause of the cease-fire. that's what is needed now. the u.s. russia, qatar, all these countries should come together and renew the pressure on all sides including on the opposition, which has refus refd the cease-fire in the past. >> how much is t

phil ingarber of georgetown, university -- of georgetown university, that china has built some 3,000es of underground tunnels to store and to transport their nuclear missiles and war heads. this secret effort by the chinese military is so massive it is known as the underground great wall. beyond this incredible infrastructure, china is also researching hypersonic missiles, icbm's, with maneuvering war heads which can outmaneuver our defensive systems. communist china must be included in any discussion of arms control. and if we focus only on russia, we are doing a great disservice to the security of our country. addressing concerns and priorities with russia does remain important and the things that are being said today need to be taken into consideration. ignoring china's strategic weapons is not an option and will lead us to a much more dangerous world. they must be part of this discussion today and hopefully in the weeks ahead. thank you, mr. chairman. >> the chair recognizes the ranking member from the terrorism subcommittee, mr. sherman from california. for five minutes. >> if y

georgetown university law professor thomas l. krattenmaker. standard oil trust was formed in 1882, and that led to widespread public concern. and it was that public reaction to the trusts that led to the passage of the sherman act in 1890. the sherman act made it illegal for any one firm to obtain a monopoly. that is, to get complete control over the production of all the goods in one market. and secondly, the sherman act made it illegal for firms to get together and agree on the way in which they would compete. for example, by setting prices or dividing markets or determining which customers they would deal with. the sherman act was one of only several choices that could have been made in 1890. congress could have chosen to nationalize the trusts. it could have chosen to set up a large government department to oversee the behavior of the trusts or even to run the trusts in cooperation with private enterprise. and those are devices that are widely adopted in other countries around the world. instead, what they did is they harkened back to the

it does not offend the president' criteria as stated at georgetown university, and of course the state department also says that this pipeline will displace some of the need for oil from venezuela and it will make united states less relient on oil from the middle east. so when you look at all the factors on merit and of course science, that's why we believe strongly it should proceed. >> with this decision, do you think it's fair when critics say this administration is not serious about energy? >> well, i would look at climate change as well. when you have an option of a pipeline that has between 28 and 42% less emissions than rail, according to the state department, if you say no to the pipeline, you are saying yes to higher risk and higher emissions, and so it's good on the energy security side, it's good on the economic side, and it's also the only sensible way to proceed on the environment, so it really does cover both of the issues, and we're working together with the united states on climate change. we work together on lying vehicle emission standards, something the president doe

is raymond, professor of georgetown university. good to have you back on the program. president obama has been under intense pressure from the u.s. congress not to grant this visa. let me can you where is washington doing this? what is the political dynamic behind this decision? >> well, number one, the united states has sovereign right to grant a visa or deny a visa on the grounds of terrorist activities. for instance, italy in 2007 provided police records to the treaty area in europe, which then decided to bar abutalabi of entering any part of the shangan area. he was a diplomat in 1989 to '92 in italy and he planned the assassination of a political dissident who effected in 1993. abu talabi, it was not a suspicion that he was involved in this. this is based on police records in italy. so the denial of the visa is on top of the political assassination documentary record. >> we understand that the u.s. has never before denied an u.n. ambassador, and there is some concern in the wider diplomatic community about the precedence that this could set. the u.s. could refuse

joining me now, professor at georgetown university and msnbc political analyst goldie taylor, msnbc politicalst and columnist for the grio. gosh, where do i start? this is outrageous. so the color of your skin will determine whether you get disrespect or not. i mean, that's what i'm taking on fox news on that one. >> when i looked around that table and saw the enormous diversity of both skin and gender and color and race, of course we can come up with a consensus that that was a fair panel. how ludicrous this is. we know that sunday mornings have usually been given over to conservative white men who harp and complain to no end about the inability to get access when they have it. who harp about the inability to exercise and influence when they possess it. who harp about the inability to leverage power when they do it. so anybody who speaks against the authority, legitimacy or the world view of that particular set of people, the pundits, what happens is you come in being charged with playing the race card. as i've indicated before, if they were playing the race card, they were dealing the deck

joining me now is the co-host of the cycle and author of the series presumed guilty, and georgetown universityfessor. professor, let me start with you. i thought sotomayor's dissent was searing and absolutely spot on. it appears the roberts court thinks by just acknowledging racial inequities, you create them. >> absolutely right. i think she was elegant and also eloquent. she was fiery in defense of a principle that is about true merit to being accuracy, not the fake and false mary to being accuracy that says we've acknowledged race in the past, but if we acknowledge it now, it will create the ib inequality that we seek to undermine. but it has to function as a merit in order to take into account the dell obstacle. african american, latinos and even women as well. it enables more people in the dominant culture to get a foot in terms of 34r0i789 and education that even african american people. but if we talk race specifically, affirmative action is not the belief that we will hand out to people who are not deserving a particular slot in school or at a job. it says that in the competition among

i was on a bipartisan panel in 2007 and we were doing a study at georgetown university before the the inhair dib inheritance, what the president comes in and gets, and the debate was whether the next president would have worse inheritance than roosevelt and lincoln. and that was the scale we were talking about you have to understand how deep a hole we dug for ourselves previously, and give the guy a little slack here, a little credit for getting us out of that hole, and understand that his levers of power, the things he is able to do have been weakened because of the money and lives and squandered international credibility that we spent waging a war we never should have waged. [applause] >> let's talk a minute about actually the administration's policy but also what is happening in ukraine and basically whether just to follow on the question whether president obama has been doing the right thing when it comes to dealing with putin, or is it more he can do? >> when there's nothing you can do, you can't criticize somebody for not doing the right thing. i think the instruments available

michael eric dyson, professor of sociology at georgetown university and political analyst here on msnbcgood to have you with us. >> great to be here, ed. >> you know, when i first read this story, i thought, you know, hank aaron, god bless you, it's about time. the president is now talking about how he is the most obstructed president in american history. what is your reaction to hank aaron comparing the republican party basically to the klu klux kl klan. >> look, hank aaron earned every right to speak his mind. this man, 8 0 years old prk the 40th an investigatory of historic feat of besting babe ruth, and he was subject to all kinds of acrimony and racist assault for simply trying to move that he was the best and to show excellence on the field. if that's his perception, we have to acknowledge that. he's been a forthright social activist, and he's seen the comparisons and he know what is he's talking about, between the december rimtal ways he was treated and the december rimtal ways president obama is treated. he's talking about a shift in the dress from extroverted and external forms

. >> joining us, msnbc political analyst and georgetown university professor michael eric dyson. well, michael, where do we start on this one? >> well, look, last time i checked, slavery was a government subsidy. slavery was a government program. so the juxtaposition in mr. bundy's mind between on the one hand picking cotton and on the other hand being subjected to so-called government subsidies ostensibly under welfare is really a false choice. and you know what strikes me, chris? this man is 67 years old. we didn't say 97. we didn't even say 77. we said 67. imagine all the 67 to 70-year-olds out there exercising authority over the lives of people of color, even over poor white people who have the same pernicious beliefs about african-american, latino, and other poor people. this is one of the most i think ridiculous revelations about the soft underbelly of racism and the hard, if you will, surface of bigotry that co-exist. and i don't see -- i'm not calling him a racist. but i don't see a great deal of difference between paul ryan's comments about lazy inner city people who rea

a baltimore native, she is a cum laude graduate of georgetown university's school of foreign service. so that's, that's a lot of credentials for a saturday morning. and i think the way i would like to handle this is i'm going to pose some very open-ended questions, spark -- in my usual, very literal-minded way -- by the titles of these three books. and be i'll ask each author to address the question for a couple of hadn'ts and then ask the other two authors to address think comments they'd like to make to those, and we'll just kind of go down the line like that be and then try to reserve some time for questions from the audience which, particularly on a topic like this, is usually a very fruitful exercise. so, craig, let's start with you, and why don't you give us the short version of "the liberal's case for the second amendment." >> the second amendment that does not create, did not create a new right to have and own and use guns. it recognized one that existed already and had existed since jamestown. and it was a right in common law. the colonists needed guns to hunt and to defend t

the chief of cardiology at georgetown university says these findings don't show the level of risk, but indicate a link between weed and heart disease. the food and drug administration is making another attempt at regulating electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products. the agency is proposing rules that call for strict regulation of electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels, water pipe tobacco and hookahs. currently, the f-d-a only has regulatory authority over cigarettes, smokeless tobacco. the recommendations will be finalized following a 75-day public comment period. this is it greedy just to the east of the golden gate bridge. the vessel was found last year by a team goes looking for the wreckage of another vessel. the ship's sinking was one of the deadliest accident ever in san francisco bay. on the morning of august 22, 1888 decades before the golden gate bridge was built the city of chester was leaving san francisco heading north up the coast to eureka. at the same time but larger steamer oceanic was arriving in the bay after a long voyage across the pacific

. >> joining me is paul rothstein, professor at the georgetown university law school, and prof professor, thank you for joining us. ap i want to pick up where mike taibbi left off, and perhaps the openings in the testimony given by oscar pistorius today, and specifical specifically, the calling out of reeva once he determined or believed he said that an intruder was in the home. let me play a little of what he said recalling calling out our name. >> i kept on shouting for reeva to phone the police. i was still scared to retreat, because i was not sure if there was somebody on the ladder or if there was somebody on the toilet. i don't know -- i don't know how long i stood there for. i shouted for reeva. at some point i decided to walk back to the room, because i cou couldn't hear anything, because my ears were ringing. >> do you see anything in the testimony there that the prosecution would seize on tomorrow? >> well, one thing that i heard in some of the excerpts that you played was that he seemed to be saying that the door was open to the toilet stall, and i believe that the police find

i want to bring in howard bragman and michael eric dyson, and he is from georgetown university and authorg ra race." today, former nba condemning donald sterile, and outside of the announcement from the team itself, a statement, we have not heard from him, and what would you tell him to do if he walked into your office, howard? >> well, the spin doctors have two purposes, one is to stop the disease and the other is to save the patient, but i would tell him that it is terminal, and back out gracelyfully, and separate as quickly as possible with as much dignity as possible, but it is over. >> well, part of what we are waiting for today, michael is to the hear what the new nba commissioner is going to do, and there have been some analysts who have suggested that the quickness, the speed with which these sponsors announced they are cutting ties, and the financial impact, and the outrage of the other teams like the miami heat showing the solidarity will give him sort of an ammunition to try to get rid of sterling, and what do you think? >> well, that is absolutely right. when you put all of th

. >> but driving home the georgetown university student leaves the car window down.he pulls away from the stop light the cat leaps out into the street. >> the cat's dodging cars, it's about to get hit. so i try to pull over out of the street quick enough and go rescue the cat. >> she says she stops, puts her hazard lights on, and runs after the cat, which disappears into the night. then she says she hears a crash. >> it's a cop car. >> the policeman who has hit her, joel francisco, calls another officer. >> dewey presley is a dui traffic homicide investigator and on the dui task force with the hollywood police department. >> dewey presley is soon joined by three other police employees. and what happens next is caught on officer presley's dash cam. >> stand here for me, please. there's two things going on here. >> i'm sorry. >> number one, you were with involved in a minor crash. >> but if she wasn't in the car when it was hit, how was she involved in the crash? >> number two, in the course of me speaking with you, there's an odor of alcohol coming off your breath. yo
