we do need to close guantÁnamo's inner than later. -- guantÁnamo sooner than later.e is a values argument. this is not something that represents who we are. it has been used as a recruiting tool around the world. there is also a pragmatic argument here. since the years guantanamo has eight,ened, they have pleaded deal's. we have had 600 terrorism convictions in civilian court. prosecute people accused of these crimes. can anyone appear committed to closing guantÁnamo within a first term of a presidency? [laughter] amna: no one. >> i think we all know congress has a fundamental role to play. if congress is not prepared to do its job, how are we going to bring them back to actually serve? amna: you have someone sitting next to you this candidate voted bringing them back here. there seems to be some disagreement about how to even close it down. tarek: this goes back to the central point of what the campaign represents. for every member of congress to take the difficult vote, we need to get the conversation out of d.c., into the heartland, and be engaging voters so that

we don't mandate shutting down guantanamo. we move the restriction, if you wanted to do it. we remove the restriction on transfers to u.s. facilities. >> you are -- not being highly supported as far as how the air force has managed space, where should we look for how to house the committee and how it will come out on the issue? >> that is a bit misleading. we are going to have elements on the space core. we just did not have an agreement on it before the mark came out so we got an amendment that will have it. my basic position is, yes, i think we need more emphasis on space and the proposal from the administration is too expensive with too much bureaucracy. and this undermines, it moves personnel away and in services unnecessarily. yes, we should have a separate space quarter. we will have an amendment to present the bill and work out the details in congress. >> great, i want to talk before i turn it to the audience, a little bit about how you are approaching china at this point in time. it's not entirely with the jurisdiction of the house but you pointed out, a lot of these

supreme court has refused to hear the appeal of the prison at guantanamo bay giving no reason for the decision. we would have spent the last 17 years in detention without charge according to associate justice stephen breyer a member of the same course the prisoner may never be free and is the real prospect that he will spend the rest of his life in detention based on his status as an enemy combatant a generation ago. yemeni citizen has been in tandem 0 since 2002 he denies fighting for the taliban and al qaida as well as being some of bin laden's body god his lawyers call his detention unconstitutional or the guantanamo bay prison was created almost 20 years ago it does house 40 prisoners most of whom have never been charged amid numerous allegations of torture back in 2008 the u.s. supreme court ruled that prisoners can challenge their detention in federal courts however most of the appeals have failed we spoke with ramsey a law professor at the city university of new york who represents our weight and says there is no evidence he ever 40 against the u.s. or its allies. he has not be

elected not work situation we don't have the money to build these maximum prisons and what has guantanamo really achieved it's made sure that those interned have never committed any more crime once they get out of prison they could be even worse in college shouldn't be going to is the important thing is we have changed people in prison we have brought them around we do have the counter-narrative we have the individuals we have the interventionist practitioners and very well informed scholars who have been able to change people's mindsets that actually cost a lot less than building what he sees is what i resonate or not i'm going to acknowledge the other side of my own all i seek to do is to protect innocent british citizens from the consequences of radicalized muslims coming out of prisons and doing the things that we've seen from 2015 actually by the way on westminster bridge and other parts of the u.k. and we i want to see all that stopped and the way you do that is it's not a point it's not about pastors it's not about preachers it's support the strongest security imaginable and that's

he has been in guantanamo bay for 17 years. now, he says that he was picked up by bounty hunters. fighting with the taliban and staying in al qaeda training camps. justice steven brier said the court should take up a case like his because when the supreme court ruled that the u.s. had authority to detain people at guantanamo bay, it wasn't thinking, brier said, of an open-ended conflict that would mean perpetual detention. he said it looks for someone that they may well be held in guantanamo bay for the rest of their lives. he said that can't be what the supreme court had in mind in 2004. so he thinks the justices should take a look at that. >> pete, really quickly, a follow here. i understand that the court also decided not to take up a case on gun silencers. what more can you tell us about that? >> very little chance the court would have taken this case. it was a challenge by two men in kansas by the federal law that says to get a silencer you have to be registered. it's not like the check system for buying a gun. you have to sometimes get authority for local law enforcement. th

and eventually to close guantÁnamo bay. where is her stance today? think her stance of what always been which is we do need to close guantÁnamo and we need to do it sooner rather than later. there's, i agree with tony, there's i values argument that this is that something that represent who we are and that frankly is been used as a recruiting tool around the world. there's also a pragmatic argument here. in the years since guantÁnamo, i think give it eight military commissions. six of those were 3ds, three of them were over. >> translator: cost as $91 million a year. in that same time frame we've had 600 terrorism convictions in civilian courts so there's very clear evidence that we can prosecute people who are accused of these types of crimes. we have to do it in a way consistent with our values and that's something she would support. >> can anyone commit to closing guantÁnamo with a potential first term of presidency? [laughing] no one. >> i think we all know congress has a fundamental role to play. if congress isn't prepared to do its job and to h

went to war war with iraq and when the human rights abuses and guantanamo and elsewhere happened there was virtually universal outrage among the international community and i think and today and same thing of course with israeli rights abuse where we've regularly seen consensus at the security council outside of the united states and israel and in the general assembly but in the current area for example we see hungary aligning itself with israel in opposing key votes on israel the general assembly or at the human rights council we see other alliances that are in part driven by an ideological connection that for example netanyahu might see with the leader of the philippines or with our own brazil or with trump or with others i think it's certainly clear that human rights abuse predates the you know populist turn of the last decade but at the same time these kinds of alliances are really problematic when it comes to trying to build a universal consensus around. issues that should be universal torture war crimes crimes against humanity the entire international legal system is contingent o

at guantanamo.the last 17 years. the court deciding they will not hear this challenge. all of the justices agreed not to hear this challenge, but justice breyer basically said in a note to that case that in a future case, the justices will have to examine this issue. the issue is whether a 2001 law continues to authorize the continued detention of those remaining 40 detainees at guantanamo without these additional charges. he put it this way, in my judgment, it's past time to confront the difficult question left open by the supreme court's 2004 ruling as to this 2001 law that the war authorization that allows these detainees to be held in guantanamo without these charges. but again, jim and poppy, the supreme court deciding not to take up this issue, so some activity within the court, but the supreme court sort of brushing aside these issues for now, perhaps they'll get taken up at some other point, but not next term. >> okay. >> jessica schneider, good to have you on it. thank you. >>> new york sta

fights over guantanamo bay, whether that facility should be used in that way. , this isid in the past something even with the policy differences, manages to get out of committee with a close to bipartisan vote, if not unanimous. this year, very party line. only two republicans voted for it. 21 hours is a long time to be debating. lots of this agreements and heated discussions about what comes next. host: how do these two bills come together as they tried to set the scene for the summer. in terms of getting the funding to mention the priorities, not just of congress, but the white house? leo: that is the billion dollar question. there is such a difference right now. thisouse is also debating appropriations bill, almost $1 trillion in spending. it has $733 billion for defense. there are questions about how many democrats will see that as too much. a lot of republicans see that as too little. the white house said not only do they think it should be $750 billion in spending, but the way they want to structure it is to hide money in overseas contingency funds, or spending amounts so they c

no one is saying things at guantanamo bay are perfect.here have been reports of abuse and neglect but detainees do get access to health care. under military law, we can't bring those detainees to the united states for care. they have surgery on their joints, routine colon skopies. we have seen several reports of the children that are being detained are living in squaller conditions and don't have access to items like toothbrushes and soap. >> developing flu-like and respiratory conditions. >> an unfortunate reality there. back to senator klobuchar, she mentioned free public college and wanting to cancel up to $40,000 in debt for americans. >> i do get concerned for paying for college for rich kids, i do. i think my plan is a good one. that would be first of all to make community college free and make sure everyone else besides that top percentile gets help with their education. >> this is a common criticism of this plan. is senator warren's college proposal similar to paying for college for the rich? >> what amy klobuchar said here is mos

i think it is important to understand that when we knew this was happening at guantÁnamo at the time,ere were hunger strikes and forced feedings at guantÁnamo, we know about that, but we did not know that was happening on h unit. and i think the issue with s.a.m.'s and what is happening is also an issue with people and the press living in world to be concerned about, because it is distorting ou understanding of our country and ourr understanding of history. host: how long are the hunger strikes going on in the h unit? do we have any information about how long these last and what is going on there and how my prisoners are on hunger strike because of these s.a.m.'s? guest: right, for example, mr. he went on hunger strike five times over a decade, and they lasted from a few weeks to a few months. most of the prisoners who had been on h unit, all had been on hunger strike, for sure at least part of the time during that 10 years, mr. salama was on h unit, the majority of people have been on hunger strike, and i am not sure, but it is very possible that the majority of people were also forc

>> that very, very frequently, another example would be guantanamo in the 1990s. guantanamo was used as a migrant detention camp for refugees fleeing haiti and cuba. really serious political instability there. they were held long without knowing what was going to be happening and there were riots and hiv positive patients were segregated without medical or legal help and the court his to intervene. that whole story is really how we ended up with post 9/11 detention and all this became which was quite a different thing that started out in the 90s. >> informed by your research, what are the concerns about the system being put in place right now? >> i have several concerns. one is that my research showed pretty conclusively these camps don't close themselves. outside of end of a war that marks the end of needing to detain a foreign or hostile population, outside of being overthrown or serious political outside force being used, they don't just end because they are useful. they serve as a target of undesirable people and these people are the problem and see we are doi
