>> i see my foreign policy in the same line as what came out of probably the first george bush. henry kissinger wrote something in "the washington post" two days ago which i agree with. i see it coming out of the mainstream of the republican position. the interesting thing is i opposed with veal very ber the involvement of us in syria. that became the dominant position in the country, both republican and democrat. there's not one republican who is saying we should put military troops into crimea or in to ukraine. i think i'm right in the middle of that position. i think those who would try to argue that somehow i'm different than the mainstream republicans are people who want to take advantage for their own personal political gain. i'm a great believer in ronald reagan, great believer in a strong national defense. what ronald reagan said in about one sentence sums up a lot of what i believe. he said to our potential add vary sayers, he said don't make mistake our reluctance forward for lack of resolve. people knew that with ronald reagan. i think this president hasn't projected enough

henry in the briefing room. thank you. let's turn to p.j. crowley, professor at george washington university. what do you make of this?think john mccain has exactly the right attitude. >> just blow it off. >> well, obviously -- i don't think this is a resumption of the cold war. we're not talking about nuclear weapons but we are talking about imposing real costs, not only the united states but in particular the european union, on russia and putin's cronies. theÑi president has rightly movd the goalposts. we have to recognize for moment we won't be able to reserve the russian move into crima, but this is intended to try to make sure that putin does not go further and if it destabilizes ukraine. >> one thing that seemed almost certain when we were reporting from crimea was that angela merkel was not going to mess with the energy ties she had and that great britain would not mess with the financial ties. angela merkel shocked a lot of people. >> yeah. 30% of germany's natural gas comes from russia. i think this is where we have an important energy card to play in the succeeding years. for the past several years we tried

george lucas inviting him to build his star wars museum in oakland. kaplan says it would be more than welcome to put the museum in the henry j.er convention center which has been sitting vacant. kaplan sent out this tweet saying your dreams can come true in oakland. lucas says they will consider that option and others. >>> your dreams can come true we' wheel of fortune fans. >> mike nicco on the roof. you're going to be at the resort and casino. >> we'll be there tomorrow from 12:00 to 4:00 and sunday as the wheel mobile is rolling into town and looking for contestants, maybe your favorite game show, need some money? come on down, see if you can get on the show. let me show you the forecast tomorrow. i imagine people will start lining up around 10:00, maybe even a little earlier and look at all that sunshine. 61 degrees. by noon, we start the festivities, mostly sunny and 68. high cloud s in the afternoon, 70. wrap thins up around 4:00. 68 degrees. great day to be in the park. hopefully you can make it out there. you see the high clouds rolling in, no rain, not today, not tomorrow, maybe not even sunday for some of us. defini

there is the henry kissinger perspective that the ukraine should become sort of the newfoundland. there is the georgeective that there should be more integrated into europe. there is the vladimir putin perspective which is this is part of the russian empire, and it was under stalin, the breadbasket of europe. it is one of the biggest sources of corn in the world. but if you are an executive, if you are pepsi and you are heavily invested in russia, if you are -- american companies are much more invested in russia than british companies are, but ironically, it is the europeans that are more skeptical about sanctions, so where does this all go? it basically means that europe is going to have to take a more decided view about energy security, energy dependence, but also have a stronger stand as it relates to the ukraine. it will have to start with angela merkel first. >> it does not seem like it is in europe's dna to be that definitive about anything. >> vladimir putin and angela merkel have known each other for a long time. he is the former head of the kgb. he understands what he speaks german fluently.

council member sent a invite to george lucas inviting him to build a star wars muse seem in oakland the chronicle reports kaplan said he'd be more than welcome to put it in the henry kaiser convention center. saying your dreams can come true in oakland. a spokesperson says they'll consider that option as well as others. >> cops in colorado getting a handle on stoned drivers these troopers learning other skills to try to detect someone high on pot checking things like pupil dialation and muscle softness. >> a lot of times you can't smell drug buzz physical indicators as far as body temperatures as far as heart rate and blood pressure, those are affected by each drug individually. >> it includes smoe showing stupid things they can do while high on pot chchlt is a lot of stuff. and warning driving should not be one of them. >>> a german backpacker survived almost three weeks by eating insects. he got lost and ran out of food. he says he ate flies to stay alive. found after 18 days he knew he can survive because of the amount of flies. >> had to eat a lot of flies every day, i'd imagine what. would you do if you heard strange noises from underneath the street? some ki

russian, and eurasian studies here at george washington university's alley school of international affairs. at the institute i codirect with my colleague, professor henry hill, the program on new approaches to research in security in eurasia. it's a network of about 100 scholars and specialists on russian and post-soviet affairs that include scholars and experts from across north america, russia, ukraine, other post-soviet states and europe. the program is supported by the carnegie corporation of new york, the macarthur foundation and george washington university. we all of course been transfixed by the russian government audacious invasion and annexation of crimea in ukraine. much of the conversation has concerned the response of the international community, specifically the united states and the european union, and rightly so. as well the effectiveness of that response and also there's been much discussion concerning the impact of russian action on russia's future role in the region and its global status. we will address all of these issues in our q&a, in our discussion as well. but first we would like to take some time to discuss the implications of

henry, and you correct me if i am wrong. over the past two months i have had occasion to talk with some white house people about the slipping poll numbers they don't care. a lot like george don't approve doing your job. they don't care. throw myself on the membersy of historical court. exact same thing going on in the obama administration right now they don't care about the poll numbers or am i wrong. >> something to that the bush example is a good one. presidents, republicans, democrat especially this late in the second term become a lame duck they get into a bubble. they hear the criticism all the time coming from all sides not just for the right for this president. he has the left coming after him about nsa surveillance, et cetera. look, i think that these poll numbers what it it boils down to is one word and that's credibility and the lack of it right now for this president. you go down the issues on healthcare. his critics don't want to admit it but people being covered now that weren't covered there are premiums going up, yes. other premiums coming down. not the individual issues where he is so bad. it's the credibility. if you like your plan you can keep it? trans

imagine if king george had sent a decree penalty , pay a $2,000 or tax and then you can observe your religious beliefs, what would the gentlelady think would be the response of patrick henry, john adams, james madison, thomas payne, all of those people -- thomas payne wasn't a very religious man but he was big on rights. mrs. bachmann: we know what they would say. patrick henry said, give me liberty or give me death. they were willing to put their live, their honor, their sacred fortune on the line to fight for what the obama administration has been eager to deny to the american people which is freedom of speech, expression and religious liberty. that's what they would do. they would do far more than dump some boxes of tea into boston harbor. if they thought the tea party was strong now, you ain't seen nothing yet. we're going to see the american people rise up in force. they're unwilling to put duct tape willingly over their mouths, unwilling to put duct tape over their moral conscience. unwilling to put duct tapes over their hearts that have a heart for god. people will stand for freedom because that's -- it's written in our d.n.a. as americans. it's what we do for a li
