trying to advance field supply side economics i think it's time we listen to him more off the bat juan williams the pock so-called news contributor who received a major boost within the network after n.p.r. fired him finally got his dream gig guest hosting the o'reilly factor and williams didn't disappoint his bosses he went after president obama on the show the show's opening he says. president obama is all in as the class warrior in chief is that smart for cynical politics. in this is coming from the supposedly liberal on fox news but leave it to fox to create another fake war the war on the rich through else after after all what else can they hype. the other eleven months of the year when the war on christmas is number way oh yeah bill o'reilly just had a war on easter last week anyway very very ugly rick santorum trump is courting the birth of santorum is courting the homophobes the likely republican presidential candidate went after gay marriage over the weekend is it culture war time already asked whether or not gays deserve equal rights santorum had this response. well it depends what yo

among the participants, juan williams, al sharpton, film director spike lee, from the aspen institute today at 9:00 a.m. eastern on cspan 3. watch all the events in the current spending debate and the preparations for next year's budget capitol hill and the house and senate floor to the white house and around washington on line with the cspan video library. search, watch, share with everything we uncovered since 1987. it is what you want when you want. studentcamr's competition at students considering washington, d.c. through their lens. this is the third prize winner. >> in the state of indiana, schools have had to cut extracurricular activities like foreign language and sports to fund more important academic activities. our academics more important than everything else? what about the girl was to the olympics let -- swimmer or the boy wants to be a violinist? what about the job you love? the federal government faces a tough decision and looking at the factors in the current financial crisis. to cut or not to cut, that is the question. falcons will offer the best opportunities in the

fox news political analyst juan williams. president obama did agree this week to put two unmanned predator drones in the skies over libya. but in a visit to benghazi, senator mccain called the rebels "heroes." as you just heard, said we have to get much more deeply involved in this war if we are going to be able to topple gaddafi. brit, where are we headed in libya? >> chris, there is an article out today by "new yorker" by a friendly correspondent by the obama administration about the evolution of the obama policy. in this article, at the end in the sumation, an aide to the president describes the president's approach as leading from behind. which i don't know how well that is going to resonate, but it may be accurate. i think what we are seeing here is the president is making it up as he goes along, as he confronts the chaotic, or hopeful or not so hopeful situation in the middle east. in terms of libya, he really kind of doesn't know what to do next. what i think, what i hope he is learning is the indispensability of ameri

and fox news political analyst juan williams.brit, it appears that the allied coalition can keep gaddafi from winning. but the rebels still aren't strong enough to push them out. what happens next? >> it does appear that the pro-gaddafi forces figured out a way not to be completely blown away by the allied air power. they are finding ways to regain territory they lost. the president said this week in the speech you will recall that gaddafi had been checked. it looks like he hasn't been checked. he is advancing. and may well now prevail. in the meantime, we have stalemate. we don't have the prospect of regime change or victory for the rebels whom we supposedly are trying to protect. there is humanitarian atrocities occurring in some of the cities. so this is going badly at the moment. now, it changes from time to time but i think the administration faces a decision about what to do additionally to try to reverse the tide. >> chris: if we have, what appears to be a stalemate at this point, don't we face the possibility of a longer

fox news political analyst juan williams.e actually had some news today on a sunday morning show. i was excited about this. david plouffe comes out and says the president is going to come out with a detailed plan. middle of this week. he's going to address spending. he will address revenue. he will address medicare and medicaid. what do you make of it, brit? >> we'll see when he does it. it has been an interesting sequence of events here. first on the budget, just agreed to for the balance of this year. the president has you pointed out in the interview with david plouffe, and he didn't dispute this, originally proposed to cut zero. now in the sound bite, the president is bragging -- not bragging but saluting the fact that this is the largest spending cut in history. now you can see the direction this is going. the president proposes a budget with no real medicare, medicaid entitlement reform, none whatever. the republicans then produce a budget with a huge dose of that. truly ambitious budget in that department. and now foll

fox news political analyst juan williams. let's talk about the politics of the budget. i want to put up a couple of gallup polls this week, which are very interesting. according to the poll, 59% think taxes should be raised on families making more than $250,000 a year. while 37% do not. and 31% support major changes or an overhaul in medicare, while 61% want minor changes or no cost-control at all. so, with that as a basis, dana, how big a gamble are republicans making when they want major reform of medicare and they don't want any tax increases on the wealthy? >> i think you heard senator coburn in the last segment say there might be, it's not necessarily what the republicans are saying but there could be changes to the tax code that bring in more money and actually don't hurt job growth which is at the crux of it. the poll shows wherein lies the problem for the communicators talking to the country about what are we going to do? not only do we have the debt problem, deficit problem. the entitlement line is now finally going to be taken seriously. the past week, what yo

because of what they claim to be the juan williams affair at national public radio. the story hasn't gotten out clearly, despite the efforts that many of us have made to talk about the importance of looking at journalism for the sake of journalism. we are looking at arts and cultural broadcasting as one day could be the board of directors of minnesota public radio spent an hour of the board meeting, which is very rare enough time to spend examining the question of bias, and is there any basis in which to think that, that the news leaders of the organization who were part of the discussion are missing something, that they are not examining the story selection or the possible ways that bias. and tom rosenstiel is part of that. board left feeling very good that a discussion had occurred. the stations around the couch are beginning to look much more carefully to make sure that any charges that could be made are not accurate. but there is an overhang. and probably will be for some time. i think we got it bad brand in terms of all of the coverage, as did planned parenthood

and npr's gone through a lot of turmoil in the last six months, beginning with the juan williams episode and going to the departure of the president. how is npr doing now, and how are you coping with the aftermath of all this? >> well, npr is doing great. and all you have to do to know that is to turn on and hear nbs, c, listen to wamu and the npr reporting. our journalism has not missed a beat. we have learned from what we have gone through. i think we are of little bit more disciplined about our process seeses now. most importantly, we have put our journalism back in the limelight. there is a team of people that sacrificed their easter weekend to produce "the incredibles," on guantanamo detainees yesterday. "up from prostitution." when you see what we have in north africa and in japan. we have a careful editorial process. from the beginning, people challenge each other and challenge their own thinking, strive for accuracy and fairness and balance at all times, but it is definitely courageous reporting going on. >> and npr has undertaken an examination of its standards and stillo on, co

[applause] and we have with us a member of the 90th district, south carolina house of representatives. thank you very much for joining us. and jane is with us as well. i wanted to start this conversation by talking about health race and politics mix in this new environment where we have much more racial diversity in the country. i hope that many of you heard some of the conversation that was taking place early your. we have the census report that indicates a much larger hispanic population and immigrant population. the old conversation was largely black and white. now we have a growing population of multiracial people even in this society. the question becomes, is it a time to move away from the old paradigm that has race, language, ethnicity as a basis for political

npr's gone through a lot of turmoil in the last six months beginning with the juan williams episode and going through the departures of the chief fundraiser and then the president, vivian schiller. how are you -- how is npr doing now? and how are you coping with the aftermath of all of this? >> well, npr is doing great. and all you have to do to know that is to turn on and hear nbc listen to wamu and the npr reporting. our journalism has not missed a beat. the issues have been on the management side of things, and we have learned from what we've gone through. i think we're a little bit more about our processes now, but most importantly, we have gotten our management out of the limelight and put our journalism back in the limelight where it should be. dick bier is here and mark stensle is here. they are a team of people that produced the incredible story on the guantanamo bay detainees that we heard this morning. i heard part of jackie lighten's six-part series on prostitution in nashville. when you see what we've done in north africa, what we've done in japan, the reporting is incredibl

tonight on book tv, prime time, juan williams talks with rubin "hurricane" carter about his book "eye of the hurricane." >> what i try to do is tell a story with visuals instead of words. i'm writing paragraphs, they just happen to be with images. >> four pulitzer prizes, carol guza has won the prize more than any other journalist. >> i think we get to experience so more parts of the human condition. >> she'll talk more about her craft on sunday night on c-span q & a. you can also download the podcast at c-span.org/podcast. >> live sat, white house correspondent black tie dinner, later remarks from president obama and "saturday night live" seth meyers. and your comments from facebook and twitter. and on c-span.org, follow allow with the interactive video player, featuring video clips, social comments, and live hd video. u.s. chamber of commerce ceo tom donahue says the government needs to produce more oil and stay out of labor disputes. it was the first speaker at the annual aviation industry conference this week in washington. this portion of a meeting is about half an hour. >> well,

maybe when they said the senior black correspondent was going to be here, they thought they meant juan williamsn't know what the reason is. is juan here tonight? oh, man. but, you know, let me address that issue about birthbirthers. do we have any birthers here tonight? come on, now. yeah, right. i actually have a theory aout conspiracy theorists or people like birthers, truthers, big foot, whatever, you know, i belie these people always, you know, demand evidence for the obvious but then they expect you to swallow the preposterous, right? it's true. think about that, like, with obama, you know, i think it's obvious that he was born in hawaii, right? because he said so. i take him at his word, right? bush said he went to college. i took himt his rd, right? i did. but they need evidence, you know? what about his birth certificate, that's a certificate of live birth. it's not a birth certificate. what about the announcement in the paper? they called that in from kenya. wh? people say this. but then they expect us to swallow the prepostous, like he's a secret muslim. a secret muslim? first of all,

and so on, and npr's gone through a lot of turmoil in the last six months, beginning with the juan williamssode and going through the departures of the chief fundraiser and then the president, vivian schiller. how are you, how is npr doing now and how are you coping with the aftermath of all of this? >> well, npr is doing great. and all you have to do to know that is to turn on and hear nbc, listen to wamu and the npr reporting. our journalism has not missed a beat. the issues ha -- have been on the management side of things and we have, you know, we've learned from what we've gone through. i think we're a little bit more disciplined about our processes now but most importantly we have gotten the management out of the limelight and put our journalism back in the limelight where it should be. dick is here, mark expense is here somewhere, they are two of the team of people who pretty much sacrificed their easter weekend to produce the incredible story on the guantanamo bay detainees that we heard yesterday morning. you know, i heard part of jackie leiden's six-part series on prostitution in n
