has to happen? clearly cisco is not going to stop with one router. what else has to happen in this area? because there's so much talk about the various things that need to be done to open up bandwidth, open up spectrum. what else haso happen to meet all of this huge demand? >> i think one of the interesting drivers for this is the national broadband plan. i think i really commend what the fcc has done in promoting that. if you think about a lot of applications that i talked about, one of the key essential elements is to have that broadband accessibility. i think the second thing that i truly believe the internet is at a transition point from being just a super information highway, which is what we thought of it to this point, is becoming a platform to changing many things, government even, transportation. we just announced today joint partnership between cisco and the state of colorado to build smart connected cities, which will drive economic and environmental sustainability. so a lot of these will mean that industry verticals have to be prepared for new business models. citizens will consume services in a very different way. >> we always think about cisco as a router company, a computer router company. you talk

has. every government health care program has far exceeded all cost expectations and has cost many times more than was predicted. medicare costs just $3 billion the first year after -- the first year it was created and $453 billion last year. it's unfunded -- its unfunded future liabilities is estimated at a whooping $38 trillion. medicaid is also out of control at both federal and state levels. last week the governor of arizona estimated that this new health care bill would cost her state alone $4 billion that they do not have when arizonans is already facing their biggest deficit ever, over $3 billion. most states is the worse shape financially and according to the census burrow they would have to expand medicaid over 50% and 33 states would have to expand by more than 30%. the states simply cannot afford all of the megabillions that this bill makes them spend. our senior senator from tennessee said that they set out to reduce health care costs but that this bill, quote, will do the exact opposite. he said this bill, quote, will increase health insurance premiums, raise taxes, cut medicare

in fact, i think this has given us a foundation, a very firm foundation from which to work as we transition to it. no one has said iran has never had any opportunity made possible to them including, you know, the reaching out of the open-hand. and they have not grasp that. in fact, the response has been the opposite. again, no one has said the united states and the other countries of the world have not given that every opportunity. and that, therefore, i think translates into the greater possibility that the pressure track could come up with meaningful actions. >> the actions on the pressure track will have to be agreed to by the united states and a numberf our allies -- >> it depends which actions are you talking about. if you're talking u.n. security resolutions it would have to be nine total members. so -- and again you know, in case of the firm 5 and the total 9 in the affirmative but i would be happy to defer on the state department on that. >> how public have we been about what form these actions might take? >> again, i'd defer to the state department on that. again, i think an awful lot of this is understandably i

end president obama has been reaching out to the iranians for more than a year and unfortunately that outreach has not been reciprocated. >> reporter: but brazil, which currently has a seat on the security council, has resisted calls for tougher sanctions so far. and yesterday, even before clinton spoke, brazil's president luiz inacio lula da silva pre-empted her plea. >> ( translated ): i already told all of you-- you cannot push iran against the wall. the prudent thing to do would be to begin negotiations. i have stated publicly, i want the same things for iran that i want for brazil. i want them to use and develop their nuclear energy for peaceful means. if iran agrees with that, then iran will have brazil's support. >> brazil is feeling very good >> reporter: michael shifter, incoming president of the inter- american dialogue, thinks brazil is resisting sanctions against iran, in part, because of growing commercial ties. but more important, he says, is brazil's desire to show independence from the u.s. >> brazil is feeling very good these days. they have a lot of pride. they're doing very well, they're connected to and have relationships with other major power

memorandum which came as a result of many months of work. 5 california has signed this letter -- fatah has signed this letter and has lifted the obstacles to national unity. we say today that home loss needs to sign this paper, too. -- we say today that hamas needs to sign this paper, too. we believe in going back to the people and going back to the polls. this position is derived from our commitment to protect our loaws and our beliefs, to refuse violence and to refuse weapons. our interest in political action is to face the policies of occupation and its animosities. occupation is the only beneficiary of our rift and our divide. that reconciliation reinforces the positive action of the international forces. i thank you all for listening. i am confident that we will come out of this summit, this very important summit, the summit of jerusalem, with great success -- with what is necessary and needed and what supports the steadfastness of our people in jerusalem and its defense of its sacred places, >> coming up next on c-span, a discussion on constitutional law with the supreme court justices scalia and briar. and th

still has memory has not been fore-- his memory has not been forgotten. this is a vivid reminder of the danger attributable to illegal drugs whether it's along our borders or within the homes of families facing the struggles of addiction. today agent camarena is perhaps the best known hero of the war on drugs and his story continues to inspire millions of americans to lead drug-free lives. in fact, shortly after his death camarena clubs were launched throughout southern california. hundreds of club members wore red ribbons and pledged to lead drug-free lives in honor of him and others who gave their life for the same purpose. in 1985 club members presented a proclamation to first lady nancy reagan which brought the club national recognition and ultimately prompted thousands of schools, communities, and states to recognize red ribbon week now celebrated during the last week of october. in this anniversary of agent camerainea's -- camarena's death, let us take time to remember the public service of enrique "kiki" camarena on the 25th anniversary of his deat

has effectively captured the attention of college students around the country. and with the purported message of ending violence against women, the "monologues'" parent movement, v-day, has earned praise from leftist groups, celebrities and politicians across america, and even the world. but others - perhaps more than you think - are quietly left wondering how embracing vulgarity is going to make the world a safer place for a woman." it's all about the "vagina monologues." >> right. what they've done is taken one day in the year when men and women usually get along, you know, some flowers or chocolates - valentine's day - they've taken the v to talk about the intimate part of a woman'stp'at. it's a play. it's on hundreds and hundreds of campuses all over the country. there's not one man in the play whose not a rapist, an abuser, just a horrible person or a down-and-out weirdo. the men are all wicked. it hasraphic sex. it has a rape scene of an under-aged girl. in a later production they made her of age. and this somehow is supposed to empower women to talk about their private parts in the most vulgar and graphic ways. and students are subjected to this. "oh, well, they don't have to go to the play." well, sometimes they do for a class. "oh, well, they don't have to look at it." there was one campus that had a 40-foot high blow-up, plastic, of a woman's vagina in the middle of the quad. well, that was kind of hard to miss. and then you're supposed to sit, and this with the fellas, and then go out and behave properly? >> where's this coming from? what's the motive? >> it's the edge of the radical feminist, who some of them just really despise men. when you go to now, and you look at the table where they have their literature, most of it is about abortion and aids and lesbianism. and yet, now still gets covered as, you know, a "woman's group," as if it were some kind of a mainstream. femini

it has to be said that certainly, -- and churchgoing is on the decline. it has to be said that tony blair has lot of emphasis on his christianity and has now converted to the roman catholic church. that is something that people find god in britain, but the central to a lot of politics in this country. host: you mentioned the reprinting of the conservative party. he comes -- -- the reprinting of the conservative party. david cameron, does he come from this process? guest: he makes it no secret that he was very impressed by the way attorney blair won the elections. for example, just for a similar thing, tony blair replaced the logo of the labor party, you know, the party symbol. cameron has done the exact same thing with the conservative party. david cameron likes to be seen wearing a necktie or in shirtsleeves, the same thing that tony blair like to do to indicate a vigorous young man waiting to take over. and the real thing he is offering is a generational change. he is about 15 years younger than the gordon brown. basically, they say gordon brown is tired, angry, the past. i am the fresh, bi

has been an economist. he has been a lawyer. he has been a professor. official, a minister, and, of course, a member of the french national assembly several times, many re-elections. in his minister's portfolio, he has served as minister of economy, finance, and industry and at another period as minister of industry and international trade. his portfolios, therefore, have encompassed economy, finance, industry, and international trade, which is a great school for taking on the job that he now has. one very interesting thing in that resume you'll see is that he took on this job at the i.m.f. in november 2007 and just think for a minute about november 2007. it was the beginning of the cataclysm in finance and the economy and in the social networks worldwide. and he took it on during those awful years since then and he has taken on as his mission, his initiative to review and reform the i.m.f. as needed in the light of the developments that have taken place during this period. it's definitely a challenging role. and he has been pushing very hard to do so a
