sitting down with congressman dennis kucinich who co-sponsored the bill that was introduced in congress to end america's no contact policy with iran and engage in direct talks congressman kucinich thank you very much for you to be with me as i understand the bill that you co-sponsored this kind of a response to the big sanctions bill that was actually passed by the house of representatives and part of which was to make it illegal for any american diplomat to make any contacts within a rainy and official. and that bill we see why it support among congressmen so your up against the majority of your colleagues who favor the ban is that was that some kind of a symbolic move on your part or do you really think it would be able to sway congressional people in that direction of thought to and to lift the no contact policy with it when there's an overwhelming sentiment in the in the congress to get tougher with iran but what's the basis of it we're being told we should have any contact with them we're being told that we shouldn't be negotiating with them we're being told. to get ready for war a

kucinich would make the federal reserve an arm of the treasury. the other bills would make various changes either to the mandate or to the federal open market committees' governance, and as ranking member of this committee, i want to focus on the federal reserve dual mandate of maintaining stable prices and full employment for monetary policy. the full employment and balance growth act of 1978, better known as the humphry hawkins act set four benchmarks for the economy -- full employment, growth and production, price stability, and the balance of trade and budget. to monitor progress towards these goals, the full employment and balanced growth act of 1978 mandated that the board of governs of the federal reserve present semiannual reports to congress on the state of the u.s. economy and the nation's financial welfare. the humphry hawkins charges the federal reserve with a dual mandate, both maintaining stable prices and full employment. and since president obama took office in january of '09, the unemployment rate has gone from 7.8%, around inaugu

congressman dennis kucinich says to resolve the iranian issue washington needs to change its approach. sanctions are another form of warfare sanctions are just a step away from shooting we're being tall we should have any contact with them we're being told that we shouldn't be negotiating with them we're being told. to get ready for war. all of that is wrong. what we need to do is to have direct negotiations we need to be talking with iran and we need to stop this vainglorious notion that somehow we can settle our differences with iran through war we have to believe that peace is possible what we have is a type of thinking coming out of washington that says wars inevitable when you say wars inevitable you actually create a war a self-fulfilling prophecy so you get war we wonder why do we have war because people think in terms of war. can hear more from congressman kasich in just over an hour here on our team member there's more stories on our web site also our dot com here's what's a click away for you right now made in china u.s. congress exposes counterfeit electronic parts used by

. >> should the president get involved, do you think, peter king was saying it yesterday, dennis kucinich was saying that. >> the united states has advocates in the secretary of state who expressed outrage and anger about this unjust result. i think that coming back the fundamentals here we decided to reduce aid by $33 million. a symbolic step, admittedly, no more than symbolic, in light of the billions of dollars in aid that we have provided the pakistanis since 9-11, in the range of about $18 billion overall and with holding aid right now partly as a result of an amendment i offered that says we should with hold the aid unless and until the pakistanis provide greater assistance in intercepting, detecting and stopping the flow of fertilizer that is used for the roadside bombs that kill and maim our troops. as a practical matter the $33 million withheld is a very strong, symbolic step, but we need to face the fact that the pakistanis have basically been against us as well as for us. in other words, they've harbored the haquani network, permitted the fertilizer to be transported across the

he discusses the new platform with strategies and action plans with usa today's jackie kucinich. >> the title of your book is rebuild the dream. what does the title mean? why did you call the book that dash i felt that the american dream for lack of a better term, my dad was born into poverty. he joined the military to get out of that situation. then he put himself through college. he put his little brother through college, his cousin and my brother. he really got his family into a middle-class life. that is the american dream. he was modest, but he was able to achieve it. i looked around and i thought that there were people like my dad who had been in the middle class up until a couple of years ago, really struggling now. and i felt like we needed to do something, and i wanted to write about what happened. we had this big movement for hope and change in 2008. we elected the first african american president, a progressive president, the champion of the people, and yet there is a sense of going from hope to heartbreak in the country. having been a grassroots outsider for most of my life,

michael steele, richard goodstein and jackie kucinich. great to see all three of you this morning. i want to play another clip from cory booker and the exclusive interview that rachel had last night. >> today to the gop i said, i welcome you to stand with me for moving america forward, don't stand with me for the kind of things that mitt romney's advocating that are going to further bankrupt our city, close off opportunity, discriminate against gays and women and do the kinds of things that i can are sending america in the wrong direction. >> booker coming out forcefully against the romney campaign. richard, is this believable and after putting the message on youtube on sunday, after tweeting all the endorsements of "i stand with president obama" with booker get the genie back in the bottle, so to speak? >> i think every day we spend talking about cory booker, we're spending talking about bain. and that's a very good day for the obama campaign because of what bain stands for, buying these companies, piling on debt, looting them and having very rich investors walk away with tons of

. >> i want to bring in jackie kucinich, and author of the new good "our divided political heart. "good morning to both of you. now the democrats are moving on to attack romney's record as massachusetts governor. they've actually released a five-page memo calling his time as governor a failure. bett better strategy than bain? >> no. i think it's all part of the same strategy. when you're the incumbent, the thing you really want to do is discredit your opponent as an alternative so that the swing voters who may not be fully happy with you nums onetheless decide they can't get to that other guy. i think the bain attack was effective particularly with the kind of blue collar voters in states like pennsylvania and ohio where a blue collar guy looks at romney and says, gee, he's not going to look out for me. n now, for a lot of other voters in swing states, they want them to say, he said he was going to create jobs in the country. let's look at massachusetts. this is a broad effort to discredit romney much as george w. bush launched such an effort success employ with john kerry in 2004

. >> if i promoted a constitution aldal amendment which dennis kucinich put, in it needs to come out.und bite. a public discussion that is crystal clear and we all agree, everybody agrees that special interests control our government. everybody agrees we have to change that. it is a question of can we create enough of a, any president says make me do it. we have to make the president do it. >> are you disappointed that the president hasn't done more? >> on this subject, he's been as vocal as any president we've had. next time around, after he's been competitive and if he wins, maybe he can go to work and solve this major problem in our country's politics. are you confident that he'll do that? >> i'm hopeful that he'll do that. and he has spoken more about it. mitt romney said maybe we should have the money go directly to him and forget the super pacs. >> yessie don't we have one guy buy the whole government and work for him. >> why not? >> the coke brothers -- >> i want to move on. not just your political interests and your commitment to occupy that has driven you recently. you're als

josh marshall and jackie kucinich join us now.t to imagine, josh, michael bloomberg is having the time of his life. >> i think that's the big story here. i imagine he's not going to endorse anybody -- >> you don't think he will. >> i don't think so. the thing with romney is on tax policy, they're pretty aligned but like on every other issue they're nowhere near each other. in a lot of ways, you know, michael bloomberg, if he were running for president, on almost every social issue he would be maybe too left to even run for president himself. it's hard for me to see how it works for romney, but i'd be surprised if he endorses anybody. >> but, boy, they're trying, aren't they, jackie. talk about the things he might bring to a candidate. obviously crossover credibility, links to wall street, obviously. he is a billionaire with lots of rich friends so, money. >> right. >> does he really bring all that to the table or is it wishful thinking? what do you think is going on here with the push to get michael bloomberg's endorsement? >> yea
