why do you dismiss hawaii? hawaii is a significant election win for us. i'm going thank and congratulate charles djou on a great race. a strong democratic state. strong democratic competitors that he ran against. he took almost 40% of the vote. a significant number. he ran a grass roots campaign focused on the issues that impact the people of hawaii. don't take way from that race by short of shoving it off. it is a significant win. it's the birthplace of the president of the united states. >> not everybody in your party thinks so. >> that's irrespective. that's where the man was born. we're proud that we took that seat. just like we'll take the seat in november. >> for the viewers, the issue about the hawaii election, three candidates ran. a republican and two democrats. >> you couldn't convince one of the democrats to drop out? >> democrats are a fiery bunch. if they want to run, they want to run. they got 60% of the vote. in the november election it will be one democrat against one republican. we feel confident about winning the race. >> and hawaii does

i don't care if he grew up in hawaii. even in hawaii which prides itself on multiculturalism, expect for one thing. all of the black people are on military bases. expect for a couple of kids here or there. so it was a really difficult struggle for him. >> how does that inform his personality, his world view? chris colley who was an advisor often describes the appearance of living in america as a black man. to experience something that deep muscle tissue bruising. not the kind of thing that you might be able to see, but the kind of thing that you steal and i could in the way you that might feel arthritis in the brain. it's there. and it's surfaces and lets you know that it's there from time to time. to the extent that he has that, how does that inform? >> i think chris headley, who's he was the dean at the law school in berkeley and has known obama for a while. race ain't rocket science. it's much harder than rocket science. what if his friends at harvard law school, casandra describes obama because of the interpreter. kin

, hawaii,ala hawaii. i have to choose betweenfi ma party, political ambition and the people it will be for the people of hawaii and i believeh that my record on the city council shows that. although on the only republican on the honolulu city council i't proud of my record and i passed my legislation than any other member of the last several years. >> ms. hanbusa.il >> i want to be clear that i'm honest with the fact that both senator inouye and senator akakh have given a fair endorsement and the reason why they have is because they know i can work as a team and they know that my hav word is good. i believe the statement made by ed is a great testament to the both of them because they arees seedsman, there are people who put their personal feelingsst below that of hawaii. why has always come first and they have it in their hearts so when you hear what ed said remember that's really more a reflection on them than in this on anyone else. >> thank you to our candidates. that concludes the questioning and the

the speaker: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from hawaii rise? ms. hirono: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from hawaii, the honorable charles djou, be permitted to take the oath of office today. his certificate of election has not arrived but there is no contest and no question has been raised with regard to his election. the speaker: will representative-elect djou and the hawaii delegation present themselves in the well? the speer: will representative-elect djou raise your right hand? do you swear or affirm that you will support the constitution of the united states, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office in which you are about to enter, so help you god? mr. djou: i do. the speaker: congratulations, congressman djou, you are now a member of the 110th congress. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from -- without objection, the gentlewoman from hawaii is recognized for one minute. the house will be in order. ms. hirono: madam speaker, me

i just -- hawaii will not be a bell weather for the fall. i just want to make a couple comments about the tea party. i believe it is organized and financed primarily by dick army freedom works and maybe some of freedom works and maybe some of the crew left over from jack abenauf special interest and that, really, when democrats argue against it they always bring up race but i kind of see it has me maybe in an apartheid capitalism where it's primarily the baby boomers in 48 who were able to take advantage of the post-world war ii economy and kind of earn a little bit of privilege. and the reason that there's no faces of color in there is because it wasn't until 64 that the civil rights kicked in allowing that group of people to start to take advantage and position themselves with a little bit of wealth and power, and that we kind of alienate a lot of peop when they throw out race, which there's going to be some of that, there always is. but primarily it's more about money and that the baby boomers just they don't want to come off what they fe

a special election in hawaii.he republican has won, marking the first time the gop winning a congressional seat in hawaii. it is the district where president barack obama grew up. we begin from "the washington post" and your calls focusing on afghanistan. we welcome your participation. 202-737-0002. above the fold in "the washington post," the obama administration's campaign to drive the taliban out of the second-largest city is a go for broke move that even its authors are run sure will succeed. the that is the operation backed by thousands of u.s. troops and billions of dollars will break the mystique and the morale of the insurgents, turn the tide of the war, and validate the afghan strategy. there is no plan be. in a speech before the u.s. military academy at west point, the president called on nato to beef up its support in light of some countries that might be scaling back operations in afghanistan. here's more from the president. >> the burden of this century cannot fall on our soldiers alone. it also canno

[laughter] [applause] >> first of all, thank you for the winter ball introduction and a 12 think everyone who came out tonight especially my parents report convincing so many other people to come tonight. [laughter] it is a treat to be here because i did shop here as a kid and i am a big fan of the bookstore. thank you for having me. i appreciate it. indeed, the idea for the book first entered my head in the year 2000 at that point* was the 30th anniversary of a rock concert held in laguna canyon on christmas day 1970 which was the same year i was born. our paper ran a

with regard to hawaii, hawaii was the next in line and really questionable circumstances. it was a lot of implicit in there. and i think it's hard to justify how we can about the annexation of hawaii. and, frankly, the puerto rican folks, i would give them independence if they want it or care to have commonwealth. but i would say they would stay because i think we're english speaking country and their a spanish-speaking cold. their language is different, but i agree with you on part of what you had to say, but if were going to have a country, you need a single language i think or single culture, and if you don't have it, then we will break up to a number of different enclaves and not really be a country at all. we have multiple languages, i think we're 100 different languages in chicago and have the people of the 10 night of los angeles county now speak a different by which that english in their own home. i don't understand the music, i don't understand the history, i can't understand their language. how are we countrymen? how can we be countryman? as for folks serving in

you shoot the show in hawaii. do you live in hawaii?ing back to l.a. >> jimmy: might as well trash the place, yeah. [ laughter ] big party. let someone else clean it up, yeah. that will be fun. and have you gone to any -- i heard you went to some event the other night in new york. >> yeah, at the knitting factory. >> jimmy: oh, a great place. >> there's a band, there they call themselves "previously on lost," and they write songs based on the show. >> jimmy: is that right? >> and they all get together when -- on tuesday, they did a set and when the show starts, everyone just brings chairs in and you're not allowed to talk and they are always shushing each other and they just watch the shows very seriously. so then we snuck in through it because everyone is watching the screen. they don't even see us, and we go and hang out in the back with a band and they came and did a second set. and then slowly you see people start realizing who is over there standing in the corner. >> jimmy: no way. >> it was damon and carlton and daniel dae kim and

when the alaska and hawaii case it is fascinating because alaska and hawaii were seen as a precise but back then alaska was seen as a democratic state and hawaii was the republican state. of course now they split largely but that is why they came in as a pair. so in this process that is certainly probably not going to change. >> host: a caller from oklahoma. don, are you there? you're a democrat, gwen had. >> caller: i was wondering is there any possibility of any current u.s. property becoming states? >> guest: you mean the territories? >> caller: territories, yes. >> host: go ahead. >> guest: the one of course -- go ahead. >> host: the one we are talking about now was puerto rico. right now there is a bill before the senate. it is that the house that we give puerto rico the opportunity to vote on their status. the first stage would be they would vote if they like their current situation and they say no and the next stage would be a vote that would let them pick from a variety of options including statehood or keeping the current status or becoming a separate country and there are fou

they are talking about maybe going to hawaii. that would be nice, right? know we have a lot of fans in the audience tonight who have questions, so -- let's see. who has our first question? let's start with you, and, wow. look at you. what is your name and what question would you like me to ask them? >> my name is ray. my question is, when jacob asked jack when he woke up if he remembers waking up in the bamboo jungle, as jack wakes up and seeps vincent, in the pilot, we see vincent on sebservinobse. now that jacob is no longer in life form, has he reincarted as vincent or just manifesting himself as man in black is, as jake shepard. >> jimmy: i'm guessing you're single. >> yes. >> jimmy: all right, well, if i can remember any of that question, i will -- do we have a briefer something? you have something? all right. good. is this your son? [ laughter ] you guys go to the same glasses shop. what is your question? >> in the lockabout, at that point, did they know that locke one day would become the smoke monster? >> jimmy: i never noticed that thing. do we ha

so if in hawaii the republican wins, what is the strategy, then, for i guess it will ultimate be calledve happened? would the dnc have to take some blame for that? >> you know, i don't think the hawaii one matters that much in terms of a signal and washington in november. the race there, whoever gets the most votes wins. there are two major democrats running against one major republican. so it is possible for the republican to win that seat and then to lose it in november when he will have to face one on one situation with a democrat. the one that i think really is telling will be in pennsylvania for the murtha replacement. if republicans win that, that will be like scott brown winning in massachusetts. this is a seat where democrats got two to one registration advantage. the fact that it is a tough, close race right now burns the republican right on crist, the democrat, really tight race does not bode well. but if crist pulls it out, i think it says there is some hope in november for democrats. but if the republicans win that seat, i think it really spells this will be a very tough yea

with hawaii, did we make them a separate country? no, they became a state.uerto rico has a population that is high enough or that is still an open question. a lot of people in puerto rico what that resolved. the bill has been passed by the house and is at the senate right out and it is the first step in the process of making puerto rico out state. host: we know it has a population that is larger than several other states. they have touched on this in recent years. what have they voted on and how have they voted in recent years? what would be the advantages and disadvantages in puerto rico? guest: every time the state had option comes up, it is just below 50%. it is generally in the 40's for statehood, in the 40's for staying where it is, and there is a small percentage that wanted to become a separate state. that is kind of where it has been. some people see this current measure as a step for people who want state would, at some people would say this as an orchestrated event to get to statehood. but i think that they are a long way from that actually happeni

he will be the first republican to represent hawaii in nearly two decades and only the third since statehood 51 years ago. democrats played down the result blaming local election rules for splitting the democratic vote. >>> with tensions rising over north korea's deadly attack on a south kariya in march, his country will stop all trade and most investment with north korea. speaking on national television, south korean president lee myung-bak also agreed to bring it before united nations while behind the scenes they're reportedly planning to resume psychological ware broadcasts. >>> meanwhile during the break today with high-level talks with chinese officials secretary of state clinton told reporters, quote, we're working hard to avoid an escalation. since china has traditionally been alive with north cory ya, beijing is seen as crucial, targeting pyongyang with the singing. >> here's other news making news early today in america. in south dakota storm chasers caught a picture of a wedge tornado. look at this. the storm was estimated to be between 500 and 1,000 feet wide and destroyed half a

hawaii experience has a different one than others. i think it has been affected significantly by the economic situation has struggled for a long time. it is the same side as fairfax county, which is the system i was superintendent. 170,000 students. there was a time when the people in hawaii came to visit us because they saw as being in similar size and wanted to do some studies to see what we were doing that they may take. the problem goes back to the economy and the resources and the ability to pay for the services you want. it was probably the wealthiest county in the united states. we had the resources to provide for the under served students those left behind that we talk about. hawaii did not have the resources to provide for the kinds of salaries to hire the best and maintain quality teachers in the classroom and to provide the technology for many of the other services provided at the top school districts in america. host: fairfax county is one of the places where the foreclosure rate is higher in the washington, d.c. area. gue

hawaii time. so it can be late getting election results but already more than half of hawaii's voters have turned their ballots in. the office of elections said yesterday that something like more than 150,000 and 317,000 voters have already turned in their ballots. so it's sort of doesn't allow a lot of time for last-minute shakeout and a lot of the votes have already come in before host: turning to colorado now. the state democratic party is holding their convention tonight. you can see that on c-span. tell us a little bit about who is running and then who -- if that senator bennett has challenger in that race. guest: he does. michael bennett, obviously appointed by gooernor bill ritter 16 months ago when salazar became the secretary of interior yorment got thibly. support. but he's up against someone who has long been seen as sort of the natural person to rise to that senate level. we're going have the democratic assembling colorado. so they will meet and vote in bloomfield for who will appear f

last night in hawaii with a great win for the party with charles dejou. direction we're going because it's fueled by the people. this party has always been and will remain a grassroots party. we're very excited about working with the people to stop the democrats' encroachment on our free enterprise market and liberties. >> chris: president obama campaigned for democratic candidates for virginia and new jersey. as you can see up there, for the u.s. senate in massachusetts. they all lost. he was nowhere to be found in the final days of arlen specter's campaign in pennsylvania. mr. steele, what does it say about the president's coattails this year and his political loyalties? >> a very short coat. the president doesn't have the coattails to drive his policies through his candidates throughout their running as part of his ticket. the reality of it is you are going to see, i believe, a lot more candidates going that's all right, the white house doesn't need to come to my state or my district, because they know, the people, the people who are driving it, the wh

we had our first big event in hawaii. hawaii has a big navy, big marine presence.ed farm energy. we are going to help all three of those. the two obstacles that we've identified to reaching our energy goals one is the price of alternative fuel today and second is the lack of infrastructure to deliver those tools. in a flip on the line from a field of dreams if the navy comes they will build at. if we create the demand, if we create a market, if the military does with the military can do which is be a market leader and create the demand early we can drive the price down and help american farmers and help america's small businesses and we can cause that infrastructure to be built. at the same time that we are moving toward these new forms of energy it's imperative that we also use less to do the same job. we launched the first hybrid ship last fall built in my home state of mississippi. it uses an electric drive for speeds of ten knots or less. on its first voyage around south america to its home port in san diego the u.s.'s main island, a big shift saved almost $2 m

then you look at the hawaii race, in different pattern of spending. the dccc has spent $291,000 there. earlier this week, they announced that they would not spend any more money in hawaii, that they would pulloutof the race. -- out of the race. the nrcc has not spend a dime in the only other action. host: both have weighed in that campaign with ads. we want to show them to you. >> worried about jobs? thousands of pennsylvania and work in the energy industry, but the cap and trade plan from washington will destroy good jobs. mark chris goes to washington and raises big money from the same liberals pushing cap and trade. mark kris, still putting the liberal agenda before pennsylvania. >> the true facts about republican charles dejue. he would have fired 2000 local schools that instead of protecting our future. on jobs, djou stood with lobbyists and friend to ship jobs overseas. in tough times like these, why you cannot afford a risk like charles djou. host: alex, let us talk about the leadership with dcc with representative van hollen, and on the other

isn't it -- when you think of the volcano, you think of like hawaii and long words like that. you don't think of iceland. you think it's too cold to have a volcano there. >> i guess that's why they're the most trusted name in news. look, i have a republican teags forgiving cabble a hard time, so let's pick on politte co-for a while. you know, people attack politte co-for putting a new focus on trivial ears. political fodder, gossip sheet. that's not fair. politico has been doing this for centuries. just check out the head leans. our researcher found these. japan surrenders, where's the bounce? then there's this one. lincoln saves union, but can he save house majority? there's a little portion there, he's lost the southern white vote. astute analysis there. and my favorite, july 3, 1776, senior official, talks break down, end pence dead. so this is nothing new. but even though the mainstream press gives me a hard time, i hear that i'm still pretty big on twitter. facebook, or as sarah palin calls it, the socialized media. of course, that's not the only thing that we've been acc

this is the first time hawaii has conducted an all-mail election.o voters are getting their ballots in the mail now and republicans and democrats in d.c. are walking on eggshells. they don't want to have an outside influence on mainland election. and the candidates, there are three major candidates and democrats just can't catch a break these days because there are two major democrats running and only one republican running because it's a free for all general election where the person with the most votes regardless of party wins the election. so the vote on the democratic side is split. the republican honolulu councilman named charles, who is probably one of the best republican candidates i've had the chance to meet is running a pitch perfect campaign may only need 40% of the vote to win if the democratic vote is split between stat senate member colleen hanbusea and ed pace, former congressman from the state's other district who has rubbed a lot of folks in the democratic establishment in hawaii the wrong way. so this is going to be a another good t

news out of hawaii today. of course, it's the president's state of birth. a long-held democratic seat went to a republican. you're saying it may not be such a cut and dried victory. explain that, jake. >> two democrats were running for the seat. if you look at the republican that won, he won with less than 40% of the vote. the other 60% was split between two democrats. the democratic party made appeal after appeal, please, one of you drop out of the race, two the two democrats running. neither candidate could do that. democrats split the vote. they're expecting that when there is just one democrat on the ballot, they'll be able to get much of that majority back and get the seat. but for now, it's a republican seat. >> what do you have on tap this morning? >> we have the politics of oil. the politics of elections. obviously with the big victories by rand paul in kentucky, and joe sestak in pennsylvania. we'll be talking to joe steele. we'll be talking to tim kaine among others. and we'll have the classic roundtable. >> won't want to miss that. thanks, jake.
