and when did angela kaine request to visit guda? there seems to be some disparity there?hey are saying there was a five-day delay. >> mr. angela kaine concluded an agreement with the syrian government with regard to her visit, and the visit was granted. she was granted with her team to to go to the locations where the chemical -- where the allegations of the use of chemical weapons -- are there. so there were -- there were no delay whatsoever, and she was granted access to the locations that she and the other doctor wanted to visit. >> reporter: where did these gases come from? >> you may be aware that long time ago, a couple of very important information spread all over the media, and nobody spoke about it, but we conveyed it if i recally speaking in official letters, among these official letters i was referring to the secretary general as well as the members of the security council. the turkish media mentioned that 12 members -- terrorist members of [ inaudible ] were arrested within turkish territory, carrying with them two litters of the sarin gas. these two liters we

helen dickson kaine caused a sensation when she reported for duty along the al kam highway in march 1943 hazel was an assistant director of the red cross club assistant eco-'s women were not directors. only men could be directors. she worked by the dawson creek british columbia. she was the only woman at the club and served the 95th engineers, the group of engineers who built the highway across canada and alaska. when she arrived she was greeted by 1300 black soldiers. they hadn't seen many women in the year and a half that they have been on the job and hazel was the first black woman they have seen in all that time. grace outlaw was one of four african-american women who arrived in australia in august august 1943. they operated the doctor carver red cross club. clara wells operated a club in new guinea where she described her typical day is far from glamorous. no time for breakfast, no coffee, no, no eyes, no baath, no hot wash. plenty of ants and mosquitoes and thankfully plenty of deodorant rock from home. kitty cox was the only woman with 10,000 men into guinea where she operated a r

kains was right.s a lesson learned for people who lived through that era, including republican president richard nixon who had no problem saying in 1971, i am now a keynesian in economics. those were his words. when nixon said that, he knew the keynes were labelled socialists. he knew it was admitting to a lot for a republican, but it was completely non-controversial at that time when he said that. the conservative conservatives' economist said we are all keysnians now. it seemed there was no going back on this. but then this happened. >> this is not your ordinary run-of-the mill recession. we are going through the worst recession since the great depression. most economists almost unanimously recognize that even if philosophically you're weary of government intervening in the economy, when you have a problem we have right now, what started on wall street goes to main street. suddenly, businesses can't get credit. they start to tear down their investments. they start laying off workers. workerings star

he may outdo you kaine. >> will the in the long run, will rafael cruz be an asset to his son or an easyget for his opponents to alienate moderate voters? that's what you need. they are the people you need to win a general. >> that's exactly the question. sometimes i feel like i'm watching a reality show. who wants to lose to hillary clinton in 2016. >> yes. >> and you know, the kind you have dmaents rafael cruz makes are catnip to the 20% of the public as you point out who are the closest thing we in this country to religious fundamentalists. to the 70, 80% of the other voters, this is the kinds of thing that turns people off. i think the most underreported story right now is the number of republicans who think in washington and outside of washington hog think this kind of grandstanding while very good if you're worried about a primary opponent but this kind of grandstanding is a very destructive thing to the party nationally and it tells us the most important thing is an they have not learned the lessons from the defeat in 2012. >> no, indeed. mckay, going from gradation skafz lunacy w

senator kaine?congratulations. >> congratulations. >> miss wesner, i think you did a fantastic job. thank you for being here and i know you will represent our country very well. >> thank you. >> i think we're sending a dream team, mr. hackett and mr. phillips to rome and to italy. you can just see it in this hearing and we thank you both for your willingness to serve our country. we thank you. i think we're sending america's finette to italy with the pair of you, thank you. and, so we thank everybody for your attention to this hearing and for the other members, questions for the record must be filed by the close of business today. if any committee member or their staff wishes to pose questions to the witnesses, and we request that each of the members respond promptly to that request. so with that, we wish you all godspeed on your mission and this hearing is adjourned. >> thank you [inaudible conversations] >> you're watching c-span2, with politics and public affairs, weekdays, featuring live coverag

kaine would hurl seven innings. the giants fall 3-1. how about this?n, tony stewart was racing in the sprint cars last night. glorified go-karts. he flipped through the air before landing on the tires that broke his leg. so he's going to miss his first nascar race. he hasn't missed one since 1998. i mean -- >> see you at 11:00. ,, goodnight. thanks, olivia. thank you. so you can make a payment from your cell to almost anyone's phone or email. (speaking french) so you can express your gratitude... in the moment. >> at least once a year, i like to bring in some of my kevin's famous chili. the trick is to undercook the onions. everybody is going to get to know each other in the pot. i'm serious about this stuff. i'm up the night before pressing garlic and dicing whole tomatoes. i toast my own ancho chilies.

predecessor president bush i mean thankfully we have some more rational voices in the senate senator kaine senator jack reed tweeting last night saying that they don't believe a military option is a good option we shouldn't pursue it it would exacerbate relations between the west in the muslim world so there are some saner voices in the senate but i think the white house is is very much on the warpath we've seen it in several countries in that list is growing and what do you think about that i mean what is the obama want to gain to show that he's a great war president here because you know egypt is a terrible mess right now his foreign policy is in tatters right now he can't get much done at home i mean this is a bizarre way to leave your mark. i mean the thing is it's what foreign policy you know i mean there's a debate to be had about the differences between george bush's war and george bush's wars and barack obama's wars but you know right or wrong george bush there was a certain kind of understanding this kind of purpose you know and it may have been weird and often wrong and destructi

then the tim kaine model and barack obama, jim webb model as well, running up those suburban numbers,pton roads in richmond where most voters actually live. and maybe downplays a little less that coal country and shenen doha swing. so, in 20 05 when tim kaine won the governorship he won 6 0% of the vote in fairfax county, up six points than 60% warner had won but only won 2% in buck county. now, terry mcauliffe's model is a little hybrid model. he's going to southwest virginia, stumping with ted strickland, former governor of ohio. he is, you know, promoting his jobs plan in rural areas of the state and also appealing to northern virginia business leaders. what's smart about terry's campaign, i think it's been run better than the cuccinelli's campaign, he's surrounding himself with people who are king makers in these types of gubernatorial elections, the election that can gin up those independent votes in northern virginia. both parties are focusing most of their efforts on the base. >> we started to talk about mcauliffe here. i'll ask you the same question as tom, we put the unfavora

i mean, they were hearing from democrats as well as republicans, and you heard senator tim kaine, and senator bob casey, and bob casey on msnbc this week on our show was saying that he supports military action, but what is the rush? why don't they wait until congress comes back and is able to debate it? tim kaine suggesting that he was really uncertain about them going forward this way, so democrats, key members of the senate as well as members of the house, of course, nancy pelosi was more supportive, at least publicly, but i think they realized that they had a real problem on their hands and if this did not go well there would not be a congressional buy in. >> thank you so much. chuck todd is also standing by for us. chuck, this is going to be a very interesting debate and vote for a number of reasons. of course in addition to syria, there's an immigration bill that is also on the hill right now, and there are a number of looming budget deadlines as well, and oh, now, by the way, starting september 9th there is going to be quite the vigorous debate, and then a vote on military actio

democrats added their signature, to that letter and got support today from a democratic senator, tim kaine. >> there are some circumstances where presidents to defend the nation or to avoid a catastrophe can act prior to getting congressional approval but getting congressional approval is, in my view, required. >> british lawmakers are pumping the brakes as well. the prime minister has agreed to wait for their findings before deciding on the next step. parliament will hold two votes before any military action is taken by the uk. the u.n. team is now on its third day of inspections in syria. they will do one more tomorrow and be out by saturday. they will report their findings as soon as they are out. obama administration officials say, by the way, the delay in britain, while it's a potential setback, they believe it's manageable and it doesn't mean the u.s. would need to wait to engage syria militarily. meantime, any hopes of getting the united nations security council behind a strike went up in smoke almost immediately wednesday. during the meeting of the five permanent members, russia ma

tim kaine this morning, democratic senator, former democratic national chairman, saying the presidenthould not be doing this, he should be waiting. wait the week. get congress back. have consultations. bob casey believes there should be a strike. believes for very important to deter iran and to protect israel ultimately. but doesn't want it to be months of waiting for the u.n. but doesn't think it has to be this week, either. so there's a lot of criticism. mike rogers, the house republican intelligence chairman who is at times supportive of the administration, believes that there is a reason to take action but that it has not been well briefed. that a telephone briefing tonight for 26 members does not cut it. that they need a real classified briefing. the white house counterpoint is, come on back. don't be out in your districts raising money. come on back and do it in person. there's plenty of ways you can do it if you're here in washington. >> andrea mitchell, nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent. thank you for that level of detailing and understanding. absolutely priceless.

2012 campaign in some detail and were astonished by the rank ignorance of people ranging from herman kainek perry but we're seeing already some even more stupid things being said in preparation i guess for 2016. >> i don't think there's any question about that. hillary clinton would like to be president. we can start all of our speculation based on that fact. now, the question is does she want to be president enough to go through a campaign. >> does she think she can win one? so if you have this, what did you say, clown car that she's running the race against. >> you can use other analogies, group of dunnederheads and dull lards, incompetent buffoons. you choose. there are plenty of descriptions. >> if she looks across the track and that's the car she sees, then it does certainly make her more likely to want to run the race if she thinks it's going to be that much easier for her to win. >> garance, one of the things people have said in the past is that it's axiomatic that the democratic party was the one that was disorganized, dysfunctional, at war with itself. how have republicans now tak

here is what virginia democrat tim kaine had to say this morning on cnn. >> i definitely believe there needs to be a vote. whether or not the congress needs to come back early, the inspectors are still on the ground in syria. they're not scheduled to complete their report until over the weekend and then they will issue the report. we are scheduled to come back in session a week from monday. i think there is ample work that the president can do in consultation with the congressional leadership about this until we're back. i do think we'll be back soon and it would be completely consistent with the president's prudence up to this point for him to continue to have that dialog. >> and just ahead, one vocal critic of possible u.s. military action in syria says there are eight really good reasons not to launch a strike. we'll tell you what those are at the bottom of the hour. >>> and in one of the most beautiful parts of california, fire now has burned across more than 192,000 acres. watch this. just listen. hearing this fire just as powerful, almost as seeing it. it has blackened thousands

. >> senator tim kaine, democrat from virginia, thank you for joining us. >>> joining us now is freshman congressman luke messer. this is the toughest vote that any of you are ever going to be asked to make, which is to send men and women into harm's way. it's supposed to be cruise missiles. but once you start, you never know where it's going to go. how do you feel about taking military action and the president's last-minute decision to come to congress? >> well, it's absolutely the most important votes to make to decide that we'll be sending our men and women into war. i joined a bipartisan coalition of folks that asked the president to seek congressional approval before taking military action in syria. it's what the american people wanted. and i certainly respect the fact that he is seeking this decision now. i believe that we ought not wait nine days to have this debate. i frankly have already issued a statement saying that we should be called back next week and have this debate and get a decision made. >> and that you've got no reaction, though, from the speaker, who could have calle

. >> his guests on sunday mccain, chambliss and tim kaine, sunday on cbs. >>> the white house"the washington post" is reporting on documents obtained by nsa leaker snowden. they reveal a massive $52 billion so-called black budget for the current fiscal year. >> they show how the u.s. used every tool of surveillance to find osama bin laden. in the months before the raid satellites gathered more than 387 images of the compound and an advanced stealth drone flew over pakistan to eavesdrop on communications and a special nsa team gathered intel from mobile phones used by al qaeda operatives. senior correspondent john miller is a former deputy director of national intelligence. good morning. >> good morning. >> did anything in these documents surprise you? >> well, i mean i've seen these budget documents before when i was working in that field, so nothing jumped off the page. although it surprised me they were out. >> what was most damaging? >> i think you take in totality. first, you have to ask, what is this document. it's a budget document. you imagine some very boring excel spreadsheet with a

his guests will include senator john mccain and zaks by sham blin and tim kaine. >> the dow closed out by dropping 30e6r points to just over 14,800. for the month dow is down 4.4% and the s&p 500 fell 3.1%. >>> with millions of americans on the road for this labor day weekend holiday, the price of gasoline becomes a bigger concern than usual. this morning the national average is $3.58 a gallon. if the u.s. strikes against syria, that's almost sure to rise. let's talk it over with seen yore columnist michael san tell leeny. good morning. >> good morning. >> is syria the direct reason for all a is that's happening, the fears of wa's happening in the middle east? >> in the past couple of weeks, oil prices have popped up higher. they've actually calmed down the last couple of days but, yes, they're giving upward pressure but honestly this is lower prices in the u.s. than in the past few labor day weekends. >> actually overall drierk is down a bit, isn't it? >> yes. in terms of fuel efficiency in terms of cars on the road. also summer driving southbound ending, demand goes down and when coo

it's better that high noon will kaine takes the bag and throws it down and says i've had enough. whether we like it or not it didn't end very well. themistocles committed suicide in persia. belisarius ended up as a beggar on the streets of constantinople humiliated at his emperor. sherman was called crazy and called a terrorist. he spent most of his post-war career trying to defend what it in a very effective way but he wasn't popular like grant or matthew ridgway. he was not made chairman of the joint chiefs. eisenhower wrote a memoir where he said ridgway did not take seoul south korea that vanvleet did. it was van fleet that took control in van fleet was even in the theater. he lived to be 97 but he got involved with a controversy under reagan. when i i finish the man is good some of the editors and i finished it right after the election, said david petraeus ended up just happy and everything went well. of course he had some problems so there does seem to be a profile that these people are controversial and after their signature achievement it's very hard to sustain that. the

back when i was at the dnc, one of the first -- when tim kaine was there, he was passionate about thathe said you know what? let's call it obamacare and they didn't make the pivot at the time. he's like let's call it obamacare because obama does care. it is perfect because ten years from now, this thing is going to have 70% support and the republicans will start calling it the affordable care act. because they don't want -- oh, god. they don't want it to be associated with the democratic party to that point. >> bill: on this -- threatening to shut down the government of obamacare, you've seen some polls on it. the american people -- what do they feel about -- let's say they do shut the government down, who gets the blame? >> look, we've been here. we've seen this before. without question, the republicans get the blame. first of all, they don't have a strategy for even talking about it. they're fighting with one another. you know, some of their older time leaders like john mccain are saying that the notion is absolutely crazy. that it will hurt the republican party. it will cost them --

senators, which i appreciate senator kaine and senator warner working hard to get there, bipartisan, bicameral. we want to move that forward and get the virginians working again. this is a great way to do that. >> host: what would this mean for the port? >> guest: a tremendous amount of opportunity to read the different facilities that are not there would be over the horizon and you wouldn't see them. such work to be done. they made technologically improvements. there is just a lot of potential >> guest: i bet people have forgotten until the couple years ago and then all of a sudden they jeopardize that over and frankly will not reduce gasoline prices with any measurable amount. it wouldn't make enough difference come and to jeopardize the entire environment on that is something that involves the administration and a lot of people are for the gulf coast disaster and not withstanding. >> host: said you think the risk isn't worth of the economic benefits? >> guest: a lot of jobs are created and if that is the kind of jobs we want -- >> guest: i knew we disagreed on this. alves american

that's mike summers and dave snyder and on e other side of the capitol, chief of staff of senator tim kaine and on behalf of all the veterans, i can tell you as i yield back my time, back to the chairman is that we all have felt that america really did love us, they just needed an opportunity to express it. so we thank you for this resolution and it's not just for me and korea, but korean americans. so many asians and especially korean americans, they love korea but they love our country best. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. he gentleman from california is mr. royce: i thank mr. rangel and i yield to the gentleman from new york, mr. engel. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. engel: i rise in support of house concurrent resolution 41 as amened and yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. engel: i want to thank my new d and colleague from york, congressman rangel, for his various to our country in the korean war and his long service in the house of representat

kaine: mr. president, i also rise to support the nomination of ms. power to be ambassador at the united nations. i had a unique opportunity as the junior member of the committee that my friend chairman menendez chairs. i left that day with a couple of reactions. first, very proud to be an american and, second, concerned about the challenges that the institution faces. first i think it's important for us to realize, for whatever its flaws, the united nations would not be in existence if not nor this country. it is a quintessential idea to pull together an organization that tries to solve global health needs and bring peace. woodrow wilson won the nobel prize for trying to get the league of nations. that league lasted for 20 years and collapsed, for many reasons, including the united states's lack of participation. the american idea stayed alive and in 1939 the state department within two years after the collapse of the league started to work on the next version. f.d.r. worked on this during his entire presidency and was scheduled to have the first con
