but a democrat and republican minnesota state representative wrote a letter to the editor. it was in response to an article written by david brooks. and brooks, whom i respect very much, is a conservative but a very thoughtful man that i read with a lot of interest. and brooks had written about what to do with the state and federal challenges when it came to budget deficits. what these two minnesota state representatives said, democrat and a republican, is that we acknowledge in our state and nation what we face. we face a situation where we have a weak economy and we face a situation where the debts that are being incurred by our levels of government are going up too fast. and so having acknowledged that, we've got to find a solution. i'm going to probably not say this as accurately, but i thought they said it so well. they said we've come to the conclusion that we just can't cut our way out of the problem and we can't tax our way out of the problem. we've got to think our way out of the problem. we can't lurch from one budget battle to another budget battle without lookin

to of going to the university of wisconsin but my folks thought i would be better in northfield minnesota. >> was the difference of living in madison and new york? >> i refer to the midwest as being homogenized as compared to new york. >> and did you go to school? >> i was raised in a county, so i would have liked to go to the university of wisconsin, but my parents thought i would better off going to saint luke college. >> so what is different from madison and new york? >> i refer to it being homogenized as compared to new york, it's truly the diversity and the pace of new york that make it different. the density. you know where i grew up, you were in single family houses. and you couldn't hear what was going on next door. when i first moved to an apartment in new york, and you could hear every fight. i heard a wife tell the husband she was pregnant. you couldn't miss a thing. so new york is kind of fun that way. >> how did you get involved in this organization and how long? >> i got involved in the partnership when it was first launched by david rockefeller, he was someone who was commi

and minnesota democrat keith ellison, the first muslim elected to congress. he served as a witness today, as we just saw. welcome to you both. congressman ellison, even before this hearing began, you branded the whole premise of it as mccarthyistic. after taking part today, is that what it felt like to you? >> well, i still challenge the basic premise of the hearing. i think that when you look at a serious so theally wide program like violent extremism, but then to associate it with only one religious community or one racial group or one ethnicity, i think that that is the very heart of scapegoating, and i think our history with scapegoating has never been good. japanese internment comes to mind. but i do think there is a way, or could have been a way to have a hearing like this that could have been effective and that would start with having a lot of witnesses who had real law enforcement experience, who offered some understanding from a scientific standpoint on something we could build policy on. i want to say that the individuals who testified at the hearin

i go to -->> my name is linda and i go to school in minnesota. if we if you would be at an emergency level, what will we do when other countries are at an emergency level? guest: that question is being debated around every congressional office, and probably in the administration. why are we so preoccupied and libya when in bahrain the royal family is shooting demonstrators in the streets? why have we been largely silent when the yemeni president has sent sharpshooters to kill innocent civilians protesting his role. in syria they are now using brute force against demonstrators in southern syria. the list goes on and on. i think it really comes down to what extent do we have greatest strategic interests in the leadership in those countries? it is clear that at least insofar as the obama administration is concerned and the reason why we have no core strategic interest is they consider more khaddafi to be expendable. yet we do not know who will take over when he goes. -- it is clear that at least insofar as the obama administration is concerned, the
