irvine. thank for joining us this evening. of free speech and assembly and the right to petition the government, the first amendment, would we have to thank for that? >> you can go back and think about liberals like john locke was thought that the best protection for the people was the capacity to challenge the government. then the very clever james madison figured out that it was better to have your conflicts in the open rather than clandestine. if you can bring it conflict into government, then you would make a government that was more stable. and united states has not always moot -- lived up to the highest ideals of free speech, but the basic premise, debate -- if debate is inside government, the less likely someone will take up arms to take over government. >> you talked about james madison, the history of american protest, going back to 1773 and the tea party. you wrote that james madison envisioned a government that would increase to send an offer malcontents the hope that they could get what they want by working through

joining me is mark sawyer who studied in cuba and from irvine, california, news max entertainment reporterthe book "hollywood nation." did the song move you the way it moved me. in. >> i almost teared up. >> me, too. as a matter of fact, i need to wipe the tears from my eyes. he talked about loving cubans. and the problem is that if beyonce and jay-z had grown up in cuba they would not be free to create the kind of artistic expressions that have made them successful. moreover, as senator marco rubio has pointed out, a very famous cuban rap is riding in a cuban pry son. would have been nice if they had visited them. they wouldn't be free to have these lyrics. what we have is a rap credibility gap because as you pointed out the lyrics explicitly talk about conversations with obama that the president is the one the white house gave him clearance and now the white house is saying no that isn't true. it is -- if the white house is taking great pains to back away from this, does that mean that maybe there is something wrong with it? >> greg: i don't think this would be a first time a hip-hop son

joining me is clark kent irvin.a big welcome to you, so glad you're here, because as we listen to what the mom is saying, do you believe it or do you think she may have mistaken the world controlled for being observed by or watched by? >> i think that's exactly right, alex. i'm sure she was mistaken. we know that the russians apparently, a foreign intelligence service, reached out to the american government to find out information about this person. they had some concerns about him. and they ran to ground the information that they had in their databases, did not ultimately question him themselves, and didn't find anything to indicate he was a terrorist and surely that's what his mother is talking about. >> is that unusual for a foreign government like that, intelligence and foreign government to reach out, or is that exactly what we do? >> no, that's exactly what happens, and, of course, as others have pointed out, there's not the best relationship between the united states and russia, between president obama and pr

let's get some further keft from clark kent irvin.ou, what are you hear being this arrest? >> well, it's not surprising to me that officials would hone in on this person so quickly. obviously, there's intense interest. this is against the backdrop of the boston investigation. of course, this is reminiscent of the anthrax attacks of some ten years ago, so it makes perfect sense this arrest would happen owe so quickly and we'll see what this fellow has to say. >> i'm curious, ricin, is it an easy thing to handle? one must be really careful, right? >> that's exactly right. it requires a considerable degree of sow nis ifof sophisti. handled improperly it's instantaneously lethal. it depends on the concentration, of course, but this is a very serious matter, no question. >> we talked about the backdrop, and this came against the bombings in the boston marathon. the mother of the two suspects he you have two memrs of the same family put on a watch list, you'd think that they're going to stay there. did tamerlan fall off the watch list? what

it is from there that john irvine of "independent television news" reports. >> reporter: this remoteth korean outpost in the yellow sea paid the price the last time this conflict went beyond a slanging match. yeonpyeong island lies just off the north korean coast and two and a half years ago, it found itself in the cross-hairs of the rogue state. four people would be killed. in a single brazen daylight bombardment, the north koreans fired almost 200 artillery shells and missiles into this island. the south koreans have preserved these bombed-out buildings as a permanent reminder of who they're dealing with. this crisis has persuaded some residents of yeonpyeong island to leave. those still here have been on edge, ever since kim jung-un was seen rallying his troops on a nearby north korean island early last month. the images of an adoring throng waving and wading through icy waters added to the world's amusement back then. how serious things have become since with this region held hostage to the unknowable intentions of an inexperienced despot. these are dangerous, uncharted waters in

jp morgan funds global market strategist live in irvine, california, for us. >> thank you for having me. >> you've listened to the conversation. what do you think, why? >> i think at the end of the day kind of to what you just pointed out, the pull bbacks should alws be expected. no way we can sugar coat the numbers we got this morning. take a step back and put things in perspective. the economy here in the u.s. the labor market is healing. it's happening at a very, very painful pace. but i think the underlying fundamentals still remain if place. that leads us to be a little bit constructive on the equity markets and risk assets to year end. >> are you betting whole heartedly on the fed? is that what keeps the rally going? what else can you hang your hat on? in the fundamentals of the economy are weakening, if earnings may not meet people's expectati expectations, if the underlying story is starting to deteriorate, are you hanging everything on the fed? >> absolutely not. i think the numbers you got earlier today reinforce the view the fed is unlikely to pull out any time soon. i'm p

chief executive officer of united capital joins me now from irvine, california.t know if i've heard you so bullish. you really are saying full steam ahead for the markets. >> i think what we're seeing right now, actually, we've got a little bit of trepidation. we've shared it with our clients around the country that we think it will be more volatile from year to year and especially as we approach summer. i don't like to see the stock market doing so well and the bond market doing so well as well. that's not a good sign and typically what you see is that the bond market is almost always right and so we think we'll see volatility but there's really no alternative for way where to invest and as long as the fed is basically supporting the markets by flooding them with money, we're going to see markets go higher and not necessarily driven by fundamentals. what we've seen is long term i a lot of these companies. revenue growth is not looking that good and we are entering a period where typically we're a little bit choppy but i think by year end, we'll continue to be hi
