values such as pleurallism, tolerance and human rights are mentioned as much in the koran as in the magna carta's use of force implies a degree of force in this. there is a potential for clash of cultures here. the speech has been criticized in some quarters for ignoring the impact of radicalization, definingen extremism comes close to a thought crime. >> to be liberal you have the right to criticize lifestyle. to be liberal you have a right to criticize the government's foreign policy, or this policy if you want to, to be liberal is all of that and more. for the president to straight jacket people into a view of liberal is unenlightened in my view. >> not just a muslim issue. >> i don't think it's the role exclusively of muslim communities to tackle extremism. i think it's the role of everybody. you recall in the speech this morning, the president sets out a way for i see muslim communities as a way of that strategy. >> the british prime minister haas set out his government's thinking an implementation of that policy will come when new legislation and other measures are introduced in the autum

a business trip to new york, he heard the last privately held copy of the 800-year-old british magna carta would be auctioned off the next day and would most likely leave the country. rubenstein sent his wallet into action. >> rubenstein: the head auctioneer came in and said, "you just bought the magna carta. who are you? we don't know who you are." and i explained. and they said, "okay, it can be yours, if you have the money. you do have the money for this?" i said yes. and they said, "okay, you can leave the side door, nobody ever know, or there's 100 reporters who want to know who bought it." and i said, "i will go out and talk to them, and tell them that i'm giving it to the country, in effect, as a down payment on my obligation to give back to the country." >> what are the symbols on the seal? >> safer: beyond the $21 million purchase price, rubenstein built a multimillion-dollar center at the national archives to showcase the document that served as the inspiration not only for our bill of rights but for all western democracies. >> rubenstein: if you are better informed about america

one representing one of the colonies with the pillar and a liberty cap at the top and the words "magna carta" underneath, still reminding us that these delegates on the eve of the revolutionary war are still appealing to their rights as englishmen to define their place in the empire and seek redress for these grievances. of course, not everybody felt this was the right way to go. there were still, this is by no means the consensus of all americans that we should be pushing literally to the brink of war to the point where the congress is calling for americans to form voluntary military associations and prepare to fight britain in the fall of 1774. this is a piece of opposition literature published new york, and i think it is funny to look now because it seems very contemporary in a sense. what think ye of the congress now? which we might say in 2015 as well. or an inquiry, how far the americans are bound to abide and execute the decisions of the late congress. this is a loyalist tract calling into question the legitimacy of that group of delegates here in philadelphia at the first continental

human rights are mentioned as much in the koran as they are in the magna carta but the prime minister'sf the word force suggests compulsion in all of this and handled badly there is a potential for clash of cultures here. >>> ignoring the impact of british foreign policy on radicalization, and there is a concern creating thought crime. >> to be liberal you had the right to criticize a lifestyle. to be liberal you have the right to criticize government's foreign policy. you have the right to criticize israel if you want to. to be liberal is all of that and more. so for the prime minister to straight jacket everybody into one prison of liberalism is in itself very shallow very unenlightened and unintellectual in my view. >> not just a muslim issue. >> i think it's a job for everybody and you'll recall also that in the speech this morning the prime minister sets you out responsibilities for media companies, for social media companies for schools for prisons and i see muslim communities as one element of that broader civil society strategy. >> the british prime minister has set out its gove

alexander heffner: and to expound on that, i'm sure there was the enlightenment, the magna carta, but these men saw their own imperfections and in order to create a more perfect union they innovated. they did their own thing. david sehat: i go back to the constitution. the constitution begins, we the people, and the thing about we the people is always changing. it is not we, the founding fathers. in a sense, if you want to think what they would do, i still basically do not think that you can answer that. but if you start with the premise that they created constitution, and the authority of that constitution comes from people, and it is ever renewing, then one answer to that question would be we the people would solve the problems in the present and however distant those problems are from whatever existed in 1787 when the constitution itself was created. i like this idea put forth by this scholar at yell -- yale. it is called framework original is him -- original is him. they create a structure, the founding fathers. the constitution does not mean anything that we want it to mean. we s

speaker, what are we writing here a new magna carta? they've had four years, for crying out loud and we still don't have legislation in front of us. it's been two months since we were last here, and a lot of talk two months ago about how bad extensions are for transportation planning and policy. how the last extension was going to be the last extension. nothing has changed. and you keep on talking about the anxiety over tax reform and tax change. what about the anxiety that the american people have and the contractors and workers have of getting our roads and highways and airports up to snuff? the bill before us today has the congress pay for our highways and transit systems with more gimmicks. tax compliance? these are the same provisions the house rejected last year. transportation security administrative fees? the airlines trade association rightfully criticized that this plan proposes the use -- to use tomorrow's dollars to pay for today's problems. the international tax can be part of a solution to bridge the gap but corporate amer

that's going back to the signing of the magna carta. and part of the reason i've been outspoken is if private actors from companies to individuals don't know the rules of conduct, then they have no way to know they are violating what the fcc thinks should be the rule. and it's almost more a quest for headluns first and we'll figure out the law later, if at all. we should look at the facts, look at what the law is. if there's a gap in the law, change it to make sure people are abiding by what we think is proper conduct. we can't cite people for not abiding by a law they don't know exists. >> i'm curious about the broadcasters relocation fund and how thoisse monies are going to be spent. the money is $1.75 million and it was set up to pay for all the relocation costs of the broadcasters to move to a new channel as a part of the auction. has the fcc determined how many stations it is able to repack with that $1.75 billion fund? >> it is -- thank you, congressman. it's a moving target depending upon the characteristics of who participates i
