the case of syria as it was in libya as it was in iraq is the old. thro the existing independent government now syria unlike libya unlike iraq has a different set of political and social contours clearly the syrian government has a mass popular base the opposition also has a base of mass proportions in the case of syria they are being assisted internationally by russia and by china in the case of the opposition they're being supported by the united states britain france and the client regimes the gulf states saudi arabia qatar turkey and so you see a civil war but it civil war with international dimensions in the international situation will of course have a direct impact on the outcome i believe that there is going to be protracted conflict i think the syrian government is fighting to the finish and their allies russia in this case recognize that if they were to be overthrown the united states would create in syria a proxy client regime as they have in iraq and as they have in libya ok if i go to you and i ask the question who would be the winners a

the government put in place in 2010 took eight months to put in place. it represents 89% of the council of representatives who are represented in the cabinet. that naturally leads to a lot of inefficiency, a lot of rivalry, a lot of intrigue. and that's certainly going on now. maliki will say that his opposition figure who is are in his cabinet won't share responsibility for governing. the opposition figures say maliki is consolidating power. they're all right. and we need to work with all of them to live up to the prior agreements and to work within the constitutional system to change the process. you mentioned t ee eed the kurd. i would like to be up the there, if i'm confirmed, at least once a week. it's the personal interaction between the iraqi leader and u.s. ambassador so important to keeping everything stable and bridging the gaps. the kurds are having some difficulties with the baghdad government right now. the baghdad government is having difficulty with the kurds. the real rivalry is between with the prime minister. we have to play an importan

he is renominated in 1900. what happened in 1904? >> 1904, the democrats decided to go with a less exciting candidate, a more conservative candidate who they thought could appeal to a more traditional electorate. they nominated a guy who had never run for office before. i'm sorry, he ran for judge before. alton parker his name was from new york. a very great candidate. a plan who did not go around the country giving speeches. but who was more like grover cleveland in many ways. he had some of bryan's politics, but none of bryan's charisma, none of bryan's appeal to ordinary americans. and he got killed in a landslide by theodore roosevelt. >> and the party comes back to william jennings bryan in 1908, why? >> well, michael, the party is in great need of a leader. and it's a party that's divided by region. it's had a great deal of difficulty uniting around a candidate and making its voice heard in the national election. and bryan is that voice. he's a tremendous, charismatic figure. >> and yet you have three republicans, william mckin

debs wrote in it. jack london wrote in it. many authors of the period would have written first in the "appeal to reason." which was after 1901. >> i would like to very briefly read to you from a statement that debs made after the 1912 election. he sent it by telegraph to be published in the "appeal to reason." results of the 1912 election statement. briefly. "from hand it is now certain that the socialist party has doubled its national vote." now that the battle is ours, we must lose no time in preparing for the next. we're the only ones who came out with colors flying. debs wrote the socialist party from now on is the party of the people. the virile young giant will go make history in the next few years, soon after, the democrats will feel empowered and thousands who voted their ticket will turn from them in disgust. how was he as a prognosticator? >> the socialist party started to decline right after that election, at least in terms of membership, and never recovered that peak. >> why? >> one reason was the wilson administra

it was spreading very rapidly particularly in maryland, in virginia, especially in delaware. but he chose not to do that. i think partly it was complicated because things were not -- most of them were not his slaves. they belonged to his wife. and there was some complication about that as well. but he did finally decide as others did not to end slavery. at his death. what drove him there, i think it was probably that idea of these men engaged in a struggle in the cause. and it has been observed that that's happened depend and again in the american reform movement. jane adams trying to explain why women suv ranlg was enacted. she said the decisive factor was the support of women in this country for the american war effort in world war i which won the respect of people who had to vote on that question in the congress and in the legislation. and i think it may have been something like that that was working with george washington on the subject of slavery. >> let's thank professor fisher for an amazing talk. >> thank you. thank you very much. >>> all weekend long, american histor

a member if i go back to you in beirut i mean in light of the reporting what we have said already in this program is that you know you can see issue. and hand in lebanese politics but you know lebanese politics is very fragile at best ok it doesn't it does appear in yeah ok let's just say at the same time it shows the fragility the fragility of the political system in lebanon so i mean no matter what happens on its neighbor in its neighborhood it's going to be impacted look i think you've got to realize in your report it was mentioned that lebanon was created in one nine hundred twenty what it might also said it was created by the french in nineteen twenty by being cut out of syria it was a syrian gov over which lebanon was taken away that's why for example you have so many people in tripoli who have relatives in homes because one hundred years ago they were the same family is that's why when people say all the rest syrians in tripoli of course there are they also have lebanese passports because under the before the french came and chopped up the middle east which we british also did

peru much to my surprise is that isn't covered in the western press is that in the in the last few months in two different provinces states of emergency have been ordered and one was in fact while i was there in the province of s. been our and in that case the presence campus in those were protesting against pollution by the big mining companies and the president a friend of the united states a liberal of sorts a kind of obama figure had presence shot down by the dozens now there's a person killing his own people to use a phrase that was just used about syria but we don't hear about it we hear about human rights violations very selectively in certain places that are the enemies official enemies of the united states and i would also say that the american people are beginning to wise up to the cost of this military machine that i would call an empire we are income tax our personal income tax draws in a trillion dollars roughly in revenue the national security state the zero d. cia the foreign aid and all the rest come to over one trillion dollars a year all our personal income tax all of it

and then in the stimulus legislation, in the recovery act, the president put in there, probably 30% ofhe money was about low-income people, was helping low-income people. so, his record is good. >> so it's not as if nothing has been done since you and i were in our early 30s, right? >> that is absolutely correct -- >> i mean, medicaid, earned income tax credit, children's tax -- >> yes. >> credit. a lot of programs have been inaugurated and funded. >> and food stamps. >> food stamps, right. >> and so those programs added together are keeping 40 million people out of poverty. so somebody says, "nothing works," give me a break. these are successful policies. now the next question then is okay, well, 40 million people who would be in poverty, but why is the level of poverty prior ta the recession about the same as it was during the most success, 11.1% poverty in 1973, 11.3% when bill clinton leaves office. we're now up to 15.2%. so just take those two, 1973 and 2000 about the same, and there are all these programs that work. what's with that? it's about these changes that we've already ta

you know, dominant party turned out in france, turned out in greece, turned out in britain at the local level. every incumbent running should be running scared. governor walker got a scare but he hung on. his team is to be congratulated. having said that, does this have anything to do with the election in five months? no. five months ago newt gingrich was surging to the lead in the national polls in the republican party. five months ago kim jong-il was still the dictator in north korea. five months ago we didn't know who was going to win the super bowl. this is an important election for the people who live there and it's important for the two parties. but it has no predictive capacity for november. come on, the last republican to carry wisconsin, presidential election was ronald reagan. if anybody thinks mitt romney is another ronald reagan i want a case of what you're drinking. >> david gergen, join the conversation. as paul makes that case, david, he certainly can make that case. five months is an eternity. the last republican was ronald reagan and yet, we do know in key demographic g

a little cooler in the outlying areas. 61 in winchester, 63 in cumberland. 66 in hagerstown, 70 in lexingtonou will notice the humidity today. that will change especially by wednesday. the district is on the right side of your screen. we don't have much in terms of cloud cover. off to the west, clouds gets thicker. if especially in west virginia, kentucky, ohio. there's a cold front causing widespread showers and storms in the midwest. all of this energy is organizing and pushing towards washington. that will give us rainfall tonight and tomorrow which will be heavy at times. in terms of predicting rainfall totals, it should be a good sopo -- soaker. close to average around the beltway, but there could be localized areas of heavier rainfall within the downpours. it depends on where the downpours end up occurring. we could see maybe an inch and a half in a few isolated locations, especially west of washington. maybe over an inch in western maryland paribas from tonight all the way through the day tomorrow. 88 degrees today for the high temperature with variable clouds. off and on areas of rai

too, joined in seeing it in their national interest. but i simply don't treat these conditions, and the russians have piled up some other conditions on the table, i don't see them as a chicken-and-egg problem, i see them essentially as issues that must be worked in the run-up to negotiations, and we'll see where we get. they may see an interest over time in enhanced transparency, and understanding further what's going on in, for example, a former warsaw pact facilities that have now been closed out and no longer hold nuclear weapons. they may be interested in learning more about that. let's work the issue and see where we get. and then we'll see what we do about a negotiation. but i would just urge us all, it gets a bit -- sometimes you scratch your head, because you hear some russian commentators piling up what looked like conditions after conditions. i just -- i'd be very cautious about treating them as big blockage also. we just need to work them is all. >> we'll look to the lightning round of questions. i think we have time for two

what you see now in egypt is almost a return to a point in egyptian history in 18952/'53 with the coup'etat came into power. the two forces that were on the ground then after the destruction of the monarch eye were actually, guess what? they were the monarch... they were the army and the muslim brotherhood. we return now to the army and to the muslim brotherhood. this is really... these are the two most viable forces in the country. are there secular forces in the country? absolutely. are there liberal forces in the country? absolutely. were they skilled in the way they played the games in tahrir square? not at all. why did they run at the end when you look at the vote totals of the three candidates of the five candidates, if you will, for presidency, the finalists, the votes of the three candidates who lost were higher and much larger than the votes of shafiq and mohammed morsi. so in the end you end up with what the egyptians call the remnants. the remnants of the old regime and the muslim brotherhood. >> rose: david, you were recently in egypt and talked to one of the more powerful

global political purpose shifts to the east where delegates are in an afghan issues are discussed in beijing that's not in their putin to meet with the country's leaders. and increased cases of assaults on women in egypt's tahrir square reveal the plight of female protesters whose hopes for democratic changes are fading as islamists try to take a grip on power. on air and online twenty four hours a day this is r.t. it's being reported that syria has suffered another massacre and province there are however conflicting accounts as to the number of victims but estimates ranging from nine to several dozen it's also unclear who was behind the atrocity authorities were for national explains from syria you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. there is even more confusion about this latest massacre here in syria than all the previous ones and a lot of the details of alleged witness accounts and video just don't match so far the most extreme death toll. stands at almost one hundred and this is the figure that's been picked up very quickly by most of the international media i

in the pacific in particular. certainly maritime security, and maritime domain awareness, counter piracy, transnational organized crime. those are issues that they should and i think are of common of everyone. when we build capacity for that, there doesn't seem to be any concerns. the philippine casino in particular has been inward focused on its internal terrorism and urgent issues for some time, for decades really. there's limited capability to project power and influence activities around it. and we think they need some of that in maritime security. i think that is the conversation i can assure you that is a conversation we had with all of our partners as we enter into agreement on how to build their capacity. tom. >> sort of to follow him not, one of the stories for maritime and the philippines is about your visit to a discussion about the combined joint special operations. this is highlighted the work of god another task forces, hoa in djibouti and against the dollar may. can you speak loudly about how the sm
