now back to juan williams. juan, the president in the early part of his speech, and you pointed this out as well, in your very well articulated article in the "wall street journal". it was 100 years after the emancipation proclamation that the i have a deem speech happened. it was nine years after the board of education versus brown integrating schools, and very few schools were integrated. at the time of the speech juan, there was very little progress happening or so it seemed. >> you have to remember, trace, that just that year you had the trauma of birmingham and dr. king being put in jail, the jail cell from which he wrote his famous letter from the birmingham jail. you had medger evers, the naacp leader, assassinated that year. later that year you had the bombing of the 16th street baptist church. you had this moment bringing the country together. today i this the it was interesting he spoke about the idea that racial politics can cut both ways. instead, people have to be aware that bigotry is no excuse to

juan williams? >> you look back on it and you think about the arab spring, you have to say, well, yeah, we were pro democracy. we want democracy. we want to project those american values in the middle east. but yes, if you look at it in the short term, mubarak held that country together, held the islamics at bay. and even though the majority of that country, the majority of egyptians oppose morsi an the islami islamics, they've caused that country to go into something like a civil war. >> juan williams, this president supported mohamed morsi, gave him money, billions of tax dollars, they gave him f-16s, they gave him tanks. this is a guy that referred to the israelis as descendants of apes and pigs and was a 9/11 truther. this was a mistake from day one, juan. tell me why not. >> because we were trying to promote democracy. america promoting your values, sean. >> you should listen to what pat said. i think he's right. look what the military is doing. we have to pick sides right now and we cannot sid

and fox news political analyst and author of "i on the prize juan williams."here with us. this is such an important time in our history as we reflect on the 50th anniversary of the march on washington and dr. king's, i have a dream speech. juan, based on that, how far have we come in pursuing and fulfilling that dream? >> well, i don't think there is any question that my dad, i was nine years old in 1963, so my dad was at the march. he was a man who would have been as a black man living in a segregated neighborhood, his children would not have been able to attend integrated schools. his job opportunities would have been severely limited. he certainly could not be working at a major network as i do or writing books. so it was a wholey different world. there is just no getting away from that. it's one of those situations i think best captured by dr. king who said, we've come a long ways, but still have a ways to go. >> jack, i don't want to indulge your age, but you've experienced racism in the segregated south and went on to overcome. how? >> well, it was -- i

wayne rogers, jonathan hoenig and juan williams and katie.ore fast food workers hitting the streets demanding a hundred percent pay hike. they want wages pushed up to $15 an hour. jonathan, let's talk about this. give us a lesson in capitalism. free market, wages or the government does? >> all these unions are going to do is increase the number of low skilled jobs people. wages are not arbitrary. they are not based on passion or feeling, they are based on productive value. you can't hire someone at $15 if they produce $7 an hour of worth. if they do they will go bankrupt and last union's work like gm. if you can't produce $15 worth of work an hour, you can't work at all. >> eric: why do they stop at $15 why didn't they go 40 or 45 while they are at it? >> what does living wage mean? i wanted to focus on low skilled jobs is way for people to get into the work force. they are meant to be career. they are way you get into that. i'm wondering this idea of wanting to move up in a company has gone. why aren't people starting at this minimum wage, l

if i put colonel allen west and juan williams out there, two powerful voices, people will listen. what are the solutions in the hood? what are things that need to be done because it's not a black problem or a white problem, it's a problem for all of america. >> i think that we have to go into the hood. look, i was brought up in the inner city of atlanta, georgia, the same neighborhood that dr. martin luther king jr. was born and raised in we're going to have the 50th anniversary of dr. king's "i have a dream" speech next week. i wonder how many leaders are going to stand up and challenge and speak just as juan just did and bring up some of the points they did to say that we're not fulfilling that dream. as a matter of fact, we're going backwards. so i think that hey, i'll be happy to get with juan, to go into these inner city black communities, to go to a historic black colleges and universities, to start saying we've got to turn this thing around. both of us, juan and i, are dads. >> i appreciate that so much, colonel. because you know, when people like you, people who have a nat

we will talk about it today with juan williams, dc insiders, nobody knows more than juan.e talk about the theory, but is seems like ground hog day with the debt ceiling debate, but is it worse this time, you think, because of the dynamics in dc? >> it is worse in the sense you have people who are opposed on the position taken with regard to the deficit, connell, and it's a hard, hard position they are taking. i will say the good news is that the house majority leader, cantor, the republican from virginia, said there's not going to be a shutdown. that's good news for the market, but when you talk to rubiro ted cruz, mike lee, the senator from utah, these are hard line republicans who say they -- unless obamacare is defunded, they are not going to pass any increase in terms of the debt ceiling, and, of course, that leads to all kinds of chaos in the markets and potentially even higher interest rates and downgrading of the u.s. credit market. >> which is exactly what we care about here is what we do end up talking about it, but you mentioned republica, iwant to ask about the

here is juan williams, who joins us frequently. am i wrong?contributing to the decline of the middle class financially. explained to me, am i wrong? >> i don't know where you are coming from on this because we have been through a terrible recession and if you look at where we are where you have to say people have made up some of that loss and you look at wall street, things going great, but at the jobs picture, unemployment is down from where it was that the worst of this recession so clearly there is a tremendous amount of stress and strain on the middle class in the country and in fact the president is out there trying to pick up on this politically and exploit it. he is the one who represents the middle class. stuart: here is my problem. the decline of the middle class financially has speeded up since june of 2009 and i think it speeded up because of the president's policies which are essentially tax more, spend more, spend more government money, tax the private sector and take it away from them. i think that is why the decline of the middl

juan williams with the hill and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer.here's no appetite for the u.s. getting involved in syria? >> i think that's right. part of the reason the president hasn't felt pressure to actually do in syria what he did in libya. when he made comments about libya, estimates by amnesty international and others of the death toll were around a thousand and the president gave what was i think impassioned moral case for leadership. he went on to say when leaders like the united nations and united states speak out and say things that aren't followed up, they're empty words and their words lose credibility. that's exactly what we're seeing here as you suggested, a year after the president declared red lines, we haven't done anything. we have proof that the syrians used chemical weapons, the administration has acknowledged as much. this may be another instance of that, even a bigger instance of that. yet there has been no real consequence. the president warned of enormous consequences. there have been no consequences whatsoever. >> juan,

steve hayes, dana eastin, and juan williams. steve? >> any discussion about u.s.y in egypt has to start with failure of u.s. policy in the past couple years. the fact is, the president hasn't had a strategy. what we've been doing is ad hoc policy making where we jump from decision to decision, we seem to make our determination about what's in the best interest of the united states based on the prevailing attitudes of people both here and there and what kind of pushes we're getting from our allies overseas. in the latest effort, i don't know what the administration should do, candidly. things are so -- there's not an obvious path for the u.s. to take. if we cut off aid, we lose any ability or much of our ability to shape outcomes there. on the other hand, you can't appear to be countenancing this violence, even if the administration is sort of backing in a conditioned way, backing what's taking place. it would be great if you could layout conditions for continuation of aid, no more violence, make the new regime push toward elections and restoration of democracy. th
