consultant an alter of the book the great powers versus the edge of our own and in rochester we cross to judy bello she is an active member of the upstate new york coalition to ground drones and end the wars. in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want more of it if i can go to you first here what's your first conclusions drawn after the election here particular when it comes to drones is anything going to change. i don't think that we'll see too much change in the visible way. there already has been a cutback in the use of drones well margaret i think there was there was a long as there was a lot of before the election there was a low before the election you think it's going to change that law will remain you think no i don't know i don't think it's going to change i don't believe that the united states is going to give up on the policy on the other hand i believe that we're going to see our our discussions with the new government to find everybody in a fairly comfortable place ok it's not a sign what do you think about that in washington do you think anything is going to change here

it became less and less a part time really but i'd say partly that was for the of us took reasons judy jump in. i i think that you know first of all i think that things have changed since that time that we no longer have george bush in power and we no longer have. in power and that that i think that what was just said is an underestimation of the strength of the civil society and pakistan i think that the people there have were at one point convinced that maybe they did need the drawings and they were very fearful because of extremely unpopular and destructive military incursion into the tribal lands a few years ago but right now they feel pretty secure that that won't happen again and more and more people are starting to oppose these drone strikes yes because of the issue of sovereignty because it's not portrayed as a violation of their sovereignty it is a violation of their sovereignty and it is something that it's attacking them in a space where up to up till very recently no one could go to the tribal lands and even now it's very difficult no one's allowed to go back and for the pe

say they're ok judy thanks for the last last word many thanks to my guests today in washington and in rochester and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember. these. as. well. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future of covered. euro skeptic britain aizen in out referendum by the end of twenty seventeen other bloc members appeared to lose trust in a united europe as well. syrian troops fought for control of a rebel stronghold of the lebanese border to be a key supply route opposition forces at least fifty eight people have died in the battle for the city. and atomic allegations iran gives the go ahead for u.n. inspectors to visit one of its nuclear facilities and if they sign a protocol laying out their suspicions about the country's nuclear program speak to the head of the international nuclear watchdog.

i want to ask you about it when you get to go in a way to save afghanistan it's destroyed pakistan judy first go ahead. that is ridiculous. that's what it is happening and it's and it's a terrible thing and it's totally unnecessary pakistan needs what the united states has to understand is that other countries in this world have their own agendas their own interests and their own interests and that that's reasonable and correct and therefore they need to be respected in pursuit of those interests rather than bombing anyone who's in the way and the fact that there's an issue along the border pakistan can resolve that through. bringing the tribal lands into their more into their federation into their government so that they the people there are empowered and there are many people from those areas who actually want that and i talked to them when i was there so but the thing is that they can't do that as long as the united states is bombing there they can't bring them in they can't talk to them they have to try and hide it because they've been made complicit through earlier governments and

that they're all insurgency is hiding out ok there's the good taliban in the bad taliban go ahead judy. i don't think first of all when they talk about sanctuary and allowing them to go back and forth across the border can we keep the mexican border absolutely secure and we completely stop people from crossing that border and the people crossing here are just crossing because they're hungry you know so i don't think that we can expect any more from the pakistani government and military than we can from our our own and our i think that this isn't just a draw the facts are counterproductive they keep the war going and that is the real point the real point is not controlling the taliban the real point is keeping a war going from the standpoint of the american government that is their objective the taliban could be dealt with and negotiated with because their power would fade if there was no reason for them to be there and sung go ahead jump in before we go to the break with the i hear. you and we're going to seeing what i again respectfully disagree what you have what is the effect of dro

but i think the real problem, judy, that faces -- judy, the federal government -- if you're going to make a case for it, it abolished slavery, it ended segregation, it built the land grant colleges that have produced more nobel prize winners than all the universities of europe combined. it saved the great lakes. it took 99% of the lead out of the air. it took wanton terror out of old age through social security. there's a case to be made for government and when government -- confidence in government and its integrity and competence is undermined, i think it's up to the president to rise to its defense and to say anybody who does this and threatens that confidence -- and i'll add one thing to david's point and that is we're going to see jim and robin coming upton piece on watergate. that's really -- watergate and vietnam is when confidence in government which had been 75%, 80%, that i trust government to do what is right most or all of the time, that's when it really started to slide. and sadly it's never come back. >> woodruff: i was going to ask the two of you about that. so just so

you were faster. >> stephanie: can you please say it's judy's show! >> it's judy's show! honey. >> stephanie: it's the judy show, my life as a sitcom. >> right. >> stephanie: you said you had fantasies of running away to the brady bunch as a kid. >> the project on good times was better than where i grow up. yeah, i lived -- when i think of my childhood, i think of my dysfunctional family and -- but those sitcomes were such a huge part of my life, and who i am, and they were so socially relevant, because everyone watched them together. there was no dvr, or vcr or anything like that. and they would create a dialogue that normally we didn't talk about -- do you remember when maude had an abortion. edith got raped. >> stephanie: right. all of the stuff of great comedy. >> norman lear is a genius, and i always thought every comic gets a deal for a sitcom pretty much, and 99% don't. but i never got a deal and my life is the perfect recipe for a sitcom, but, you know, i happen to be a lesbian. >> stephanie: and a 6'3" one. you were taller than all three brady bunch boys put toge

>> as of now i would say, that judy. it -- if the words instead of tea party and "9/12" were, in fact, "choice" "reproductive freedom" "peace" "feminist" and they were scrutinizing those i think you'd hear a cry, an understandable outcry from those on the left-hand side of the political equation. and this plays right in to this whole story plays right into the republican wheel house that what the conservatives have long argued-- that the government is too big, the government is too intrusive, the government cannot be trusted, the government can be evil. and i think that respects the greatest threat to this administratn right now and i think that's what the administration has failed to get on top of so far. >> warner: what do you mean failed to get on top of? >> i just compare the president's passive approach. he was detached at the outset. he did grow more active and involved as the week went on. he learned about this in the news reports last friday even though we found out -- >> warner: from the inspector general. >> th

we asked people what they thought about president obama's decision to name judge judy to the supreme court. he didn't do that, obviously. but when people hear president obama and supreme court, they will have an opinion, whether they have an opinion or not. enjoy. >> tell me your name and where you're from. >> what do you think about president obama's decision to appoint judge judy to the supreme court? >> well, it's controversial. he's granted that power as piston united states so, you know, he's got to do the best we can with what we have. >> and do you think of obama's appointment of judge judy scheinlin to the supreme court. >> it's a publicity stunt. i'm not sure why. he has the approval ratings. >> i agree. i think it's publicity stunt. i'm not sure she's fit for that type of a job. she knows tv. that's about it. >> what do you think object president obama's decision to appoint juj judy sheindlin to the supreme court? >> i can understand why he would make that decision and why he would go that way. >> and how do you think judge judy will get along with the supreme court justice

>> the prospects, judy, it's fragile. 844 pages represents something we don't see a lot of in washington, which is compromise, consciou consensus,g something together, both sides of the aisle, eight senators submerging their high profiles and healthy egos for a work product. what we see are people who would like to sabotage that effort in the committee. senator cruz of texas has an amendment anybody who has ever been in the united states illegally at any time cannot be eligible for citizenship. that, of course, would preclude a six-year-old who was brought this country by his parents, joining the marine corps, going to iraq, serving honorably, being wounded, coming back and beingineligible. this is the sort of amendments that we're going to see that will be intended, some to strengthen the bill, others, quite frankly, mr. sessions of alabama, mr. grassley of iowa, to sabotage the bill. >> woodruff: the last time they tried to do big immigration reform, it didn't go anywhere. what does it look like to you? >> i agree. we h

i don't think judy is right at all. i don't think the media is taking this seriously. >> some critics say the coverage leans more towards political partisanship than really uncovering wrongdoing. >> there certainly was. some people who are reporters leaned in to past reporting, such as chuck todd from nbc, who said well this -- reporters or republicans better not overreach because this would come back to haunt them. i was shocked when i heard him say that. >> why? >> because he's supposed to be a reporter not a commentary person. >> that's a new one. >> is it possible, cal, for republicans to look into this without appearing partisan or without maybe getting tagged with partisanship? >> everything is partisan in washington. i mean you'd have to be completely neutered, you would have to be, i don't know, from another planet not to be partisan. these hearings are very, very useful. carried on fox live, carried on c-span. they don't allow -- now in the old days, you had to rely on the three broadcast networks to use snippe

joining me now are matthew's parents, dennis and judy. it's nice to see both of you today.want to start with you. how did you feel when it was learned and revealed that jason collins said why he wears the number 98 and that your son is now forever linked to american sports history? >> it is rather shocking. we didn't have any concept that someone would come out to start with this quickly in the nba let alone that he would wear a jersey commemorating what happened to matt in 1998. it's rather stunning to both of us. >> one thing we recognize this week, the president had called jason collins to commend him for coming out. also brought him up in his press conference saying he's proud judy, the president also made a comment about your son matthew. i want to remind everybody. >> it's a testament to matthew and others who have been victims of attacks. not just meant to break bones but to break spirits. not just meant to inflict harm but to instill fear. together we will have moved closer to that day to when no one has to be afraid to be gay in america.
