unfortunately one of the principles according to king john's view of it would result in his being excommunicated because the king of england then was really subordinate to the pope. the pope said this isn't a very good principle because the principle said that 25 noblemen could come together and overrule what the king wanted and if that were the case, maybe sometime somebody could overrule what the pope wanted. the pope said i don't like that, the king said i don't want to be excommunicated and several weeks after he actually attached his seal to it, he abrogated it. that resulted in a war. he died in the war. his 9-year-old son became the next king. regents basically came up with a new version of it, and that kept the peace for a while. when that king, king henry died, his son, king edward, became king. and he needed money to fight wars in france, he sought from noblemen some more money. they asked him to agree to a new magna carta and he actually did so in 1297. this comes from 1297. the advantage of this one over the 1215 one, though, that's perhaps more famous in some respects -- this became

i want to bring in john king. because john king, as we listen to this and we let that statement reverberate, this is an election year. talk to me about the timing of this. obviously, this is great news for folks who support gay marriage. but you talk about those independent voters who are so, so key come november, and folks on mitt romney's team, how does this play with them? >> it's a gamble for the president. it's a bold, personal choice for the president. if you go back and show those pictures just a moment ago, not only is this a political leader making this statement, brooke, it's the president of the united states. it's the first president of the united states, he's sitting in the white house, the seal of the united states of america and the american flag, this is the first american president sitting in the white house to say, i think same sex couples should be able to marry. and the president acknowledged the use of the term marriage. that's one of the reasons he's been hung up on this. you hear him talking

if those are the rules and the barrons made king john sign it was the rules in 1215. so that's been the rules for a long time. two and a half years without charge is an amazing thing, but it could happen to jose padilla because of who he was. what would it take in this country for it to happen to you or someone you know or someone that lives in your neighborhood? again, not because he's a good guy. the courts have found he's a bad guy. what other legal protections -- what our civil rights exist for is not to protect the rights of good people. it's to protects the rights of people we suspect might be bad people. the jose padilla case should be something that we don't forget very soon. >> i want to switch gears just quickly and get back to the panel. i know this is about contemporary struggles, but i want to go back to robert kennedy's famous trip to south africa. we can have the screen come down. he was invited by a group of students while he was a senator, and after he accepted the invitation, the head of the organization was actually arrested and was not allowed to g

i want to head back to our john king who has been following this as well. n called this in legal terms, this is a mess. one thing i found kind of surprising, i think many court watchers did throughout the trial, is that john edwards himself did not take the stand, rielle hunter did not take the stand. you'd almost think john edwards, him being a well-known attorney himself, would want to take the stand and kind of have his day and his say, right? >> he has a very strong lead defense counsel,abbe lowell who has handled tough cases for years. and a lot of people who know john edwards think, yes, his dna and his reflexes give me a chance with that jury because that's how he made his name, as trial lawyer, persuading juries to go his way in big cases. my understanding is abbe lowell made a per sway tiff case that the risks would outweigh the benefits. they thought the facts aren't really in dispute. the question is was the money hush money out of a campaign or was it funneled through a campaign. was it about having a viable presidential campaign or just having j

i want to bring john king in once in. you've been on secret dangerous presidential visits to a war zone. remind our viewer, what's it like? >> i was on the bush trip to baghdad, the first trip to baghdad after maliki became prime minister. i was called by dan bartlett over the weekend, called asked if he could she he see me for coffee. i left the white house beat which i covered for eight 1/2 years. we need you to keep this secret, tell one boss, if you can, keep this from your family, we're worried about security. show up at andrew's air force base. when you get close to baghdad everything must be turned off. they took things away from us, they don't want any electronic signal from the plane. you remember from your days covering the white house on air force one in all of the press cabins there's a television and it says time in washington, time and place of local, wherever you're going, and this other three times, all the clocks were turned off, all of the power they could turn off, any external lights turned off, once y

king. john, i have a thesis i want to run by you. mitt romney has already lost the election because of this. voters in ohio, auto workers and union members are alienated. you know, john, because you spend a lot of time in ohio like i have. it is gm country. they will hand that state to president obama. romney doesn't get to the white house. >> without ohio romney mostly doesn't get to the white house. no one has won it without ohio. if you do the math, how do you get to 270. yes, there are other ways but it's much harder. he needs to get ohio, he needs florida. auto is king, largely general motors state, about 75,000 jobs in the state that are tied to the auto industry, not just manufacturing but the parts and supply chain and all that. look governor romney needs to get off this. he made the point they shouldn't have gotten the money up front unions got a sweetheart deal, if you had gone straight into bankruptcy without the government aid, they would come back. would have, could have, should hav

john king is here watching all of this unfold. this isn't a important speech that the president is going to be giving . and it comes on the first anniversary of osama bin laden's killing. >> not company insiincidentally. this is an important policy visit to the afghanistan. it's an important interim agreement between the two countries. they need to negotiate troop levels. but it's a very important policy moment for the president. but let's in the lose sight of the fact that we're may first in an election year, a very competitive election year, one year to the day since the raid that killed osama bin laden. so the president tonight in the very country where al qaeda camps, he will not only say he has a new agreement with the afghan president, he will be speaking on the one year anniversary and he'll be talking about winding down the american military commitment in afghanistan. i would not be surprised it if he makes note of the fact that that comes after he wound down the military commitment to iraq 37 so an important speech, but al

john king is watching this. karzai, john, and i covered him for a long time and he has a tendency to say one thing to the visitors and stuff that the u.s. wants to hear, but when he's speaking to his own folks back in afghanistan it's oftentimes very, very different and occasionally very bitterly anti-american. >> not only to his own people at home, but local politics he has to play and sometimes the united states understands that after the horrific killing and i understand some of that language, and wolf, i don't know if senator reed is still with us, he appeared with mahmoud ahmadinejad and said things that most u.s. officials have found quite troubling. he's the president and now the lkted president and you go back to the bush administration, the days after 9/11, they said some days he's on and he says the right things and he starts to do the right things and other days he's ranting anti-american and forgive me, but the corruption record speaks for itself. the delays and the length of money and the length in

we'll check in with john king with the magic ball. >> i handful of new polls tell us how close the racee obama. one poll in battleground wisconsin. it's a close race, but slight advantage for the president who is up in the wisconsin public radio poll. another one in the battleground state of ohio, mitt romney needs to win ohio to win the white house, no question about that right now. president obama with a slight lead there. zooming to the east now in a state the president turned from red to blue, virginia, it's a toss-up right now. it's within the margin of error, but perhaps a slight advantage tr president obama. dropping down to florida, you a mixed picture here. a poll we received just yesterday had romney with a slight lead. today the president leading in the nbc maris poll. o florida is as to-up. why do we look at these? they factor big. the president has 217, the blue states, solid obama or leaning obama. mitt romney has 206, solid republican or leaning republican. the yellow are the battleground. the wisconsin poll is right, the ohio poll is right, puts the president in striking

. >>> and now let's bring in john king, also the anchor of "john king usa."this look for the president with regard to bain capital? criticizing them, taking their money. >> and taking other private equity money. some people say, mr. president, you're trying to have it both ways, wait, mr. president, that's hypocritical. look how quickly james clyburn from south carolina, he said earlier this week, i don't take money from companies that rape other companies. raping other companies. the campaign quickly said we denounce that language. why? because that's essentially james clyburn saying the president's a hypocrite. if he knew that, maybe not, i don't know. we're in a comparative election. they're going to raise money wherever they can raise money. the question is whether governor romney tries to make an issue of that. campaign finance, where you get your money, unless there's a scandal or illegality, doesn't usually sway votes. >> here's my question, when mitt romney's been asked about bain capital, he seems to be deflecting and starts talking about the message
