asked what you think. can you hear? >> if you think we are going to have any progress in this situation by simply yelling at me -- >> is -- i'll ask you -- letk you nicely. >> no, let me ask you, sir, a question -- >> is hamas a terrorist organization, yes or no? you don't answer a question with a question. is hamas -- what part of this can't you get through your thick head? is hamas a terrorist organization? >> excuse me? excuse me? >> yes or no? >> i already answered your question. >> yes or no? >> i already answered your question. >> you did not. >> well, this is the problem, yousef, you cannot -- why is he asking you about the terrorist organization? because terrorist organization use children as shields, launch rockets into civilian populations, start a war that victimizes the poor children that are being killed in this war. and just like when america had to go into afghanistan, had to go into iraq, we saw pictures from c.a.r.e. saying america is killing innocence when in fact we were fighting a legitimate war that had unfortunate deaths that happened. and this is about if you want to -- >> do i get to say anything? >> you had your chan

let me ask you questions -- let me ask you questions about shar' ah which you want to implement. what do you think about women that toent want to cover themselves? what would the punishment be if you don't want to cover women in shari ah -- >> let me answer the question. we don't exploit pornography, fashion and cosmetics industry. women are not slabs of meat. they are our mothers, our sisters. >> and if a woman doesn't want to wear a burka or covering -- >> you're not -- women -- >> are you that dumb and ignorant? answer it. what would the punishment be? >> western women would cover themselves. they don't walk around naked -- >> so if they don't cover themselves, what should the punishment be? >> they're honored. >> now, let me ask you this, if a woman is raped under shari' ah, there's a need for four male eyewitnesses for that rape. do you agree with that? >> no, this is nonsense. they not implement -- >> in iran -- >> the man would be punished. >> what about women that commit adultery? should women be stoned to death if they commit adultery? >> both men and women if there are

. >> so let me ask you this. do you have -- >> destroying a neighborhood, not only -- >> do you have any hope of reviving talks and ending the violence? are you hopeful or optimistic at all? >> all my life i've been calling for non-violence. and i think we could have convinced hamas to stick to complete non-violence if israel did not start this war. >> but why were the rockets being fired into -- but my question is -- my question is why were the rockets being fired -- >> why don't you talk about f-16 -- ma'am, why do you keep talking about palestinian rockets and not about israeli rockets? you are just adopting the israeli narrative constantly. why don't you mention f-16 jet fighters? why don't you mention the israeli ships that kept shooting at us during the night? why don't you mention the israeli tanks and artillery that are surrounding gaza from every direction? why don't you mention that the half population of gaza are forced to leave their homes under israeli bombardment? your narrative should be balanced. a

casey, let me ask you this. you agree that therene succee life that you've lived as an >t entrepreneur is only possible because it's occurred in america? >>ou no, it's a ridiculous statement. >> you could have done it in afghanistan or somalia? >> you know, this -- >> wha >> true ort false?>> >> it's a ridiculous and stupidt question. >> what's the answer. >> and you know that.lous >> mr. de souza, you are a specialist in populist arguments that set up strawmen. no. you can't do it in unfree countries like afghanistan but the fact is that since america'r peak in the late '50s, the greatest economic progressbe ane the greatest amount of wealth ri that's been created has been created in places like the ld orient. andv now africa is even booming while the united states goes >>o down.i am yes, i could have done it said, anywhere in the world to answerr your question. in >> i'm just noting something you said which i'm not popularizing> you can't do it in unfree countries. >> yes, of course.r t >>o now do you realize -

. >> let me ask you about the c.i.a. director mr. brennan.

let me ask you this. john alrealarson wants to see congress get involved in this. e wants when it comes to congressional authority. let's say you, you're in the leadership. what are you hearing from the rank and file? do you think the second branch of government here, arguably, some say the first branch of government if you read the constitution. should they have a say before strikes come down on syria? z>> >>. >> i think so. john larson is one of the people i have a great deal of republican for. he keeps up with these kinds of things. he's a go-to guy for me. aside from that, the fact of the matter is, i believe we have got to act, to repeal this movement called isis or isil. i think the white house, the president, if he please, would do well to come to congress, to lay out the issue, and i don't think he'll have any problems getting the congressional approval for moving against these people. he would then have the cover of the protection of having come to the people's house to get it done. >> so you want the white house to ask for congressional approval. do you th

. >> travis, let me ask you about allegations that have surfaced from lyft. ey are saying uber is playing dirty tricks and alleging that you booked 5000 ride didn't cancel them as a way to thwart competition. what do you say in response? >> a lot of this plays out on the insider track. at the end of the day, competition is good for the consumer. if you are out on the court, if you are lebron james, you want to dunk on somebody. competition can be fun but at the end of the day at the better for the consumer, the driver. >> did the employees do it? >> 10% of all requests ever made in the system are cancellations by people just using the system. it's a natural thing. there was never any kind of intention or anything like what was being proposed. we just categorically deny it. the accusation of first place was the real dirty trick. >> let me ask you about something that has been controversial. you have drivers frustrated by the changing discount rates. you may say you have one price and then announce a 20% discount and some drivers are frustrated by that. there pr

. >> let me also ask you about our european allies. we heard what cameron had to say. we heard from france but they are more concerned about liberia. germany saying, you know, yes we're looking at it and we maybe would be helpful in some way in providing military equipment to iraq. it just isn't a hey, if you go into syria we're with you. this is always a difficult sell to people who have more at stake it seems to me sometimes than the u.s.. >> i think -- you know it's a couple of issues. number one and it's always been this way for the last seven years and it's good i rather america be in the leadership role. europe responds when america takes a very strong position and strong leadership role. if the president and when the president comes out and says this is not justin interest of our homeland, just the borders our allies our interests in the embassies and he can motivate the europeans to come along they will. europe has been notorious reluctant to engage. you see it in ukraine. it takes strong american leadership. the president if he gets serious about it can rally

. >> let me ask you about governor nixon's response.e has sort of dipped in and out of this, if you will. not visited the site of the protests. there's been a back and forth between them and county prosecutor regarding the recusal. does he have the confidence of the community? do you get a sense of where they are at as far as their thinking on the governor? >> not at all. not very much i should say. one of the most important things to note, when the governor immersed himself on the scene here and began saying they were going to call off the national guard, initially before that when he announced that captain johnson would be in charge of security, the interesting thing to note was that in the point in the midst of that press conference, there are people who began peppering him with other questions. started talking about school closures and economic development. so what you got from people there, people in the community here was they really felt like the governor did not -- they didn't have the ear of the governor before this and they we

louis but around the country. >> let me ask you what you say not just to people in missouri but peoplethe country. six in ten blacks in a new poll say that they don't believe that they have confidence that the investigation will be handled fairly. what do you say to them? >> first of all, i think with a lot of attention on it and focus on it and dual efforts going on at the same time, one federal, state, public attention, i think they have a chance to get it right. a justice system with that much focus, these folks need to do their duty. that includes prosecutors and jury members and grand jury members and everyone and citizens who have things to say that can be helpful in those cases. so we have to work hard to make sure that everybody does their best and is strong in this effort. if they do, then it's our best hope that justice will be served. >> governor jay nixon, thank you. >> thank you. >> then the question becomes what does it mean to do your best, mr. mayor. what do you do going forward and starting with how do you make this a fair investigation? >> i think the thing you do is

and let me ask you, mark, because you're polling for alison lundergan grimes, are you going to knock off the republican leader? >> i think so. mitch mcconnell is a symbol of everything that is wrong with washington. he's somebody whose campaign manager resigned midscandal on friday. this is somebody who is not well liked by his constituents in kentucky and is a symbol of everything that is wrong with washington. that race is on its own dynamic and i think alison is going to prevail. >> bill, your thoughts? this would be pretty interesting because mitch mcconnell has wanted for his whole career to be the senate majority leader, the running of the senate. there is a possibility here that the republicans could take over but he could lose. >> first, let's go to georgia real quickly. that's what i'm saying. it's been a long time in washington since we have talked about michelle nutt trying to win in the deep south as a first-time candidate. kentucky is this really compelling battle if you're a political junky between the horses that mark is talking about versus again a deeply anti-obama s

you know, joan, he mentioned the president hasn't done anything impeachable. help me out here. fox news and mike huckabee was asked about impeachment. i want you to listen to his answer. >> let very clear. i never said he should be impeached. i was asked a specific question. had he committed impeachable offenses. i said yes. he's not going to be impeached and shouldn't be. >> that's why i need help. he's done impeachable acts according to huckabee. >> this is crazy. >> they do understand it. what they are doing is rallying the base to a point where, if i'm a tea party person, i'm saying if the man committed ep impeachable offenses why aren't you impeaching him? they are inflaming the people they say in one breath they need to control but say they are trying to control and inflaming them to make it impossible to do any governing at all when, god if he should, they took over. democrats have to get out and vote. i really believe, reverend al when they came up against one another trying to balance a budget they would fall apart. it would be internal warfare. >> isn't that the point if they had to come up with a budget? one gop senate candidate said the gop has to make a case tha

dinseh d'souza may have some questions for you. >> soap let me ask you this. do you agree that the successful life you have lived as an entrepreneur is only possible because it occurred in america? >> that is a ridiculous statement. >> you could've done it in afghanistan or somalia? >> it is a ridiculous and stupid question. >> what is the answer. >> and you know that. alyssum. you are a specialist in populous arguments that set up straw men. nope. you can't do it in and free countries like of kurdistan. the fact is is that since americans peaked in the late 50's, the greatest economic progress or the you can't do it in free countries like afghanistan but the fact is since america's peak and then not late 50's the greatest economic progress in the greatest amount of wealth that has been created has been created in places like the orient and now africa is even booming. so yes i could have done it anywhere in the world to answer your question. >> i'm just noting something you said which i'm not popularizing. you can't do it in unfree countries. >> you can but i p

and imam sadiq you need to be more -- >> let me ask you this question. >> you are -- >> let me ask youdo you believe sharia law as implemented in saudi arabia, that women can't drive, women can't be seen in public without men they're related to. women need four eyewitnesss for rape? does sharia law bother you? >> sharia law has to fit the time in which it's made. i'm not in saudi arabia, it would bother me if i was over there. i'm trying to say don't -- please don't give that to islam. that's a bunch of political people over in saudi arabia, who won't let -- >> it has nothing to do with islam. >> i'm going to -- >> by the way -- >> what i suggest you do, when you go home tonight, i would urge you to look up hamas, hezbollah. >> i condemn what you report, but i don't personally know them. >> i want you to -- >> i want you to get an education, because obviously you need one. if you don't know -- >> i'm not going to condemn what i don't know. but i condemn what you report. >> isis killed a number of imams in iraq. hamas killed a spokesman last week who didn't say the right thing. the bott

all right, so let me ask you this. you said that clause wasn't there when they bought the tchotchkes. had the clause been there had clear gear had a stronger position in court or would the court still rule against them? >> as it happens, clear gear didn't even show up to defend itself so we'll never know what the court would have thought. but again under this idea of unconscionablity, it is very unlikely that the court would have enforced such a clause because it runs to contrary aof any person's ability. >> i want to find these companies who have nondisparag nondisparaging clauses and shaming them on tv. >> amazing it's still on the website. it was down for a time, because of the media fire storm, and they have the audacity to put it back up. we had the client testify to their conduct. the court awarded them a fine of $300,000. the guest house in hudson, new york responded very promptly once the news media savvy consumers and bloggers -- >> saying it was a joke, we dug in and found it wasn't a joke. they actually had t

nick, let me ask you in closing, you know, we cover a lot of different stories. military guys are risk their lives to defend a country. doctors like dr. brantly was out there in west africa to help save people. journalists tell stories that are are important, but you risk your lives. when you talk to your family and they ask you, we're worried about you, you're risk your life to cover this story, without being too personal i guess, i don't want to put you on the spot, how do you convince them it's the right thing to do? >> well, i'm kind of lucky, i have a very supportive parents and don't have any children to be concerned about. when i start ed doing this abou 12 years ago, i worked for a newspaper so i could go off to chechnya for a week or so and i came back and my name popped up in a newmspaper or "dateline." when your job is to go to the worst place and then put that on television. but they are on the whole, extraordinarily supportive. the most important thing is coming back to tell the story, so we all take huge amount of care as far as we can in terms of s

let me ask you this just to respond to that ad. obviously republicans want to tie you to national democrats. are there significant places where you disagree with president obama that you think kansas voters should know about? >> well, chuck, what we know sam brownback is going to do is take every opportunity to try to change the subject in this election and not talk about his dismal record as governor. you know, i've got a 12-year record in the legislature of being able to bring democrats and republicans together, and i think that differentiates me with barack obama, who has had a very difficult time building bipartisan consensus in washington, d.c. we're going to need somebody who can unite people if we're going to be able to address the issues that we have in kansas and start to clean up the mess that sam brownback has created. >> all right. so if you get elected governor, the first thing you're going to do is repeal his tax cuts? is that the first thing on your agenda and essentially raise taxes for a lot of kansans? >> well, chu

now, let me ask you another question. a lot of times you hear from people saying that it really hurts the economy of the united states when there is a clean air law that goes on the books, that it's just too dangerous to run the risk of trying to make the air cleaner, to reduce the number of people who get sick, to reduce the number of people who die from dirty air and they say pretty much the air is clean enough. don't make it any cleaner, but we're seeing this huge increase in the number of people who don't die or don't get sick because of the clean air act. what we have over my shoulder is a chart from 1929 to today, and it reflects the growth in the gdp of the united states of america that includes the 1970, the 1977, and the 1999 clean air acts and with the exception of a period of 2008 and 2009 when there was a complete failure of regulation of the financial industry, we've seen upward of gdp grow. can you talk about that, the connection between this clean air, you know, journey that we've been on in the gdp in our c

. >> let me ask you what you say not just to people in missouri but people around the country. six in ten blacks in a new poll say that they don't believe that they have confidence that the investigation will be handled fairly. what do you say to them? >> first of all, i think with a lot of attention on it and focus on it and dual efforts going on at the same time, one federal, state, public attention, i think they have a chance to get it right. a justice system with that much focus, these folks need to do their duty. that includes prosecutors and jury members and grand jury members and everyone and citizens who have things to say that can be helpful in those cases. so we have to work hard to make sure that everybody does their best and is strong in this effort. if they do, then it's our best hope that justice will be served. >> governor jay nixon, thank you. >> thank you. >> then the question becomes what does it mean to do your best, mr. mayor. what do you do going forward and starting with how do you make this a fair investigation? >> i think the thing you do is to start see

announced the next step, changing the status quo, he speaks on behalf of all palestinians. >> let me ask you this. he said he can't give you more detail, but there was a meeting and a plan saying no more status quo. some are saying mahmoud abbas may go to the international criminal court. war crime allegations against israel. you have been negotiating. the head negotiator. your name is probably more well-known to the world than mahmoud abbases. we have seen you for more than two decades. what do you think comes of that. the united states will never back the idea, that israel gets tried for war crimes. what are you aiming to get out of that. >> it is a worry, of course, and those that worry about the criminal courts should stop committing crimes. we are not fond of going to court. but when you look at gaza, 12,000 people killed and wounded, mostly women and children. when you look at a third, when you look at the targetting of electricity and water, deliberately. putting gaza back 500 years. it was a collective punishment, a war. this is a war. israel is the occupying power. the safety of the

gerson, let me ask you the same question. know you are an attorney, so let me ask you what you taken legal action on behalf of your client. >> indeed i did. and my clients case was settled for a handsome sum i must say, just recently. and i would comment on ms. butler's situation that i litigated a very similar case for seven years involving the anoxic brain injury were 20 such old third year medical resident from ohio who collapsed on a treadmill on board the ship in the presence of the fitness center director who took no steps at all to resuscitate her, and there was a factual dispute over the length of time she was down without any defibrillation. and there are international treaties that require crewmembers to be trained in cpr, and the position that the cruise lines take is that the training is only advisory. they are not required to use it, and its discretion as to whether or not they want to use it. and federal maritime law is that they are not legally responsible if they don't use it, and they didn't use it in this ca

but let me ask you this. you know, there is a sense that these rock stars are, you know-- we all know this, they're larger than life. you know, they end up on magazine covers, huge concerts... you're with them in their most human moments. >> hmm, yes. >> hinojosa: what do you take away from that? i mean, how do you kind of tell young people, "look, don't get taken over by the whole brouhaha and the whole stardom and the... >> hmm. >> hinojosa: in the end, you're an artist and you're a human being, and you know, how you treat... i mean, what is it that you take away from it, because you've been with so many of these huge, iconic rock stars? >> well, at that moment, all i do is take away a story. i'm taking notes, meeting a deadline, moving on to the next thing. >> hinojosa: you're a working journalist. >> so i'm not there to advise them. i'm not their minister or their psychiatrist... >> hinojosa: but you're observing... >> yes. >> hinojosa: ...how they interact. >> right. and sometimes, the artist will say, "

i mean i'm talking about the double standard here but rather than going into discussing them let me ask you about the mediation issue that you just brought up you know your advice to. prevent the war in iraq i mean there are also a number of very wise men trying to move a big conflict in syria i'm talking about kofi annan i'm talking about what our brain. and they all failed what makes you believe that this sort of me he said your own efforts could succeed in ukraine what makes you crane different from all the other conflicts that turned into blood bath people i don't necessarily believe that a group of people will be able to influence the leaders but i think it would be very responsible of it not to do our best to try and what all we're saying is it's been controlled trial next week. then we have a group of rushing to the willing to sit down with the kremlin and speak with the kremlin and see what their position is we have a group of ukrainian this is leaders willing to sit down with the president to see what the position is and and as a business leaders hopefully with a reasonable degree

if they do it here, hopefully they are more than mature, doing country. >> let me ask you this. you tweeted this comment from the council: >> it qatar trying to have it both ways like saudi arabia. >> in some ways it is. if we take the suicide bombing-justifying cleric given vip treatment inside qatar, that's one thing. qatar says they stand for modesty plur assy, openness, but being home in an extreme cleric in terms of justifying suicide bombing, and most saudi cleric would not go that far. there's a problem with qatar trying to have it both ways. yes, being modern, wanting great openness, and trying to be a home to taliban, hamas. that gives out mixed messages, and qatar ritely wants to be embraced by the international community and deserves the embrace, and has to shed the baggage of trying to bank roll extreme forms of islamist voices out there. >> thank you for joining us. "consider this" will be right back. >> these young people deserve justice >> anatomy of a protest... >> ...the police look like they're getting ready to come down the street >> with militarized police dep

let me ask you, nick. the psychology of fear. it seems that this group isis likes maybe some other groups has made a calculated use of terror and fear, we saw tweets sent out for the world to see as a warning to americans, you covered a lot of conflicts. is this different what you're seeing there? >> i never encountered such a volume of unbelievably disgusting horrifying videos. that's a relatively recent phenomenon. when they started out they weren't shy of the fact they were brutal but it wasn't quite in the volume you get now. it's hard to keep up, frankly, with the number of grotesque things they post. social media police can't keep track. i did a story last week about potentially 1700 iraqi recruits at a place near tikrit. that was overrun and they were herded off on this video to mass execution. some shot dead in the dusty field, others taken to a river in fact where they were just in a line, one after the other shot in the head, single shot, dumped. one of the most horrific things i've seen on video. sanjay. >> nick and ja

let me ask you in a broader context. you were involved in the trayvon martin case, that's where i first got to know you. you're involved in this case. do you know how many shootings took place in chicago this weekend? do you have any idea? >> i'm sure there were many, sean. but you know, i think one of the things that came out of the funeral today was that all of the violence in our community, even if it's committed by african-americans, we need a reduction in violence in our community. so we address that within the course even the service today, sean. >> well, there was six people dead, 42 shootings in chicago alone this weekend. another nine in new york. a 3-year-old died in chicago, two teenagers died in chicago. there was a case in salt lake city where a black police officer shot an unarmed 20-year-old white teenager. circumstances may be different. why are there certain cases that make it to the media's consciousness and others do not? or the activists consciousness and others do not? why is it? do you think some of

. >> thank you for having me. >> let me ask you. there seems to be a lot of suspicion among members of the community about the police. why do you think that is? >> p reverend sharp ton, we have a long history of mistrust in the community here. with the police. there are constant stories of harassment. you know, young black men. it's almost the same across the country. young black men have tales of being harassed by the police while they are walking or driving. the racial profiling, the numbers in the state of missouri are very scary. it's not unfounded. there is a high number of african-american men and women in our community who are harassed by the police. nothing seems to get done about it. >> you've talked about the need for federal investigation. why do you and so many others want that? >> well, i have been out talking with the community themselves on the ground and, while i know there is going to be a fair and thorough investigation, when we can get the full cooperation of the community because they don't feel comfortable talki

your fundamental right -- >> let me ask you a question. >> this is a new fundamental right. >> let me ask you a question. i heard you out. let me ask you a question. thank you. that's all i was trying to do. i was going to say things change, for example, if we look at june washington post abc news poll 56% favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry. that's a poll. i'm asking you, in the complete sentence, things change, people's opinions change depend on how their life experiences are. is it now time for the courts to maybe reflect those changes? >> no, i don't think that is the case. if, in fact, people's attitudes change in 50 states, one or two or 19 or 20 of the 50 states, those people have a right to change the constitutions of their states, but ohio, tennessee, michigan, kentucky they have a right -- those people have a right to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. when you move beyond the notion that romantic attachment is the basis of marriage. you come to the fact if you allow it to be the definition. what stops at one man, two women, two women, one man?

. >> let me ask you, you talked about british prime minister cameron, his rhetoric and his plan. the british government is going to propose a measure tomorrow in the parliament that would make it easier to seize the passports of people believed to be isis sympathizers, fighters, so they could neither go to the area or come back. is that something you would like to see in this country? >> we would have to be careful how we do it, not to restrict u.s. citizen travel, but i think there's a way through great means of collecting evidence to slow down the individuals. you could also charge them when they come back with material support for terrorism. we have a law on the books, we should use it and be aggressive using it. you have a few of those prosecutions up front, people get less aggressive about traveling overseas. >> i want to turn to a very serious situation in ukraine, russian troops, russian military inside. they refuse to call it an invasion, and they're also sending mixed messages. take a look at this. >> russia has to stop lying and has to stop fueling this conflict. the ma

politicians there are differently and let me quote you something from an interview you gave to our ukrainian call x. from the key of posts well the journalist asked you about what would you say to russia's president your responded quote president putin please don't turn back the clock we remember when the bird on wall fell and how wonderful both russians and the rest of the world felt about it now personally i don't think that this kind of speech would really be successful in the kremlin because people there truly believe that if they were asked which is trying to turn back the clock on russia by isolating russia so i wonder if you should also be talking to some of the western leaders and trying to go in. that changed by that car the back. of his head and into the is that when president putin got reelected that i feel that he felt. the ostracized by wesley snow not welcomed in the wade that somebody has just been elected should have been welcomed. and i think you know their votes on both sides but you know our leaders should be big enough to to write about impersonal disagreements between leaders about the other countries and they should lead in

. >> let me ask you. you have never been a police officer, you don't know what that experience is like. at that moment, with you thinking: is there a way for me to neutralize this and can you assess this person may not be stable? does that factor into your decision? >> yes and no. the yes part is probably when an officer someone saying shoot me, kill me, off in his mind is going to go you know, a click. hey, this guy is not mentally stable. so maybe what we can try to do is calm him down. if you listen cable to the officer's commands, one of the officers says something along the lines of, drop the knife, bro. he is trying to establish, in my mind i am not a cop. you are not a blood guy. we are two human beings here let's see if we can resolve this. form, the suspect fails to comply with that order, fails to take the officer up on that offer essentially to begin a dialogue and continues to move aggressively towards the officer. yes with you merely because someone is mentally deranged, only someone who is,
