. >> rose: should, as president morsey said to me, should iran eegypt, turkey, saudi arabia, be there doing something because of a variety of reasons, that they're connected to the crisis quartet he called them. >> i think the proposal of president morrissey is interesting because these four nations have an influence on the situation. >> rose: and are engaged already in one way or the other. yes. up to now, but it's recent there have not been results but when you have to find a solution you have to discuss with everybody. therefore, france and egypt are in close links because if we can be some sort aid towards a solution, it's our role. it's our international role. we are a permanent member of the security council. we have no hidden agenda. we are there to try and help people. what do they do? what do they want? they want to be free. they want to be free. to say, well, you have a lot of arab countries in which there has been a so-called arab spring, isn't it possible-- because, mr. bashar al-assad has decide it was not possible, no. it's the way it must go. >> rose: iran, and the nucl

. >> president morsey also made reference to that anti-islamic movie that helped spark riots among muche muslim world saying there must be limits on free speech. that, of course, a direct contradiction of the message president obama gay the u.n. just -- gave the u.n. just yesterday. shep. >> shepard: jonathan hunt at the united nations. thank you. joint base andrews outside d.c. what you see here is the president of iran's plane a boeing 747 see the iran air there it's parked at the military base while ahmadinejad is here in new york. a spokesman at andrews tells us the parking is free and there is no extra security. same for all heads of state. reporters traveling with president obama on air force 1 report they actually taxied right past that iranian jet on the way to campaign stops today in ohio. and governor mitt romney was in that same state today. both campaigns trying to win over votes with just six weeks to go until election day and ohio is crucial. no republic has ever won the presidency without taking ohio. and today both candidates came out swinging. >> i don't believe we can

chief among them, perhaps, the address by egypt's new islamist president mohammed morsey. he will talk, we are told, about how the u.s. needs to recalibrate its relationship with many arab nations in the wake of the violence that has gripped so many of those countries over the past week. these u.n. general assemblies often don't mean much but clearly this year, shep, all of these speeches, given all the texas -- tensions and every word uttered from that podium is going to be worth watching and listening to, shep. >> shepard: president obama is also here in new york city set to speak to the u.n. tomorrow. today, governor mitt romney went after the president for calling recent violence in the middle east and north africa bumps in the road. >> this is time for the president who will shape events in the middle east, not just be merciful or be at membersy of the events of the middle east. i will get america on track to have the kind of leadership we need so we can save for the future of this part of the world and keep america strong. >> republicans are also criticizing the pres

that's evidenced by the fak that he called president morsei and said as the egyptian embassy for thed states is safe and secure and will be, you have an obligation to safely protect our embassy as well. we expect you to live up to the obligation. since that time morsi has done the right thing. i think the president is setting -- is managing a very difficult situation in an expert way, and again, this is not me speaking as -- in the campaign framework but as a loyal american who wants to see america at peace and security and have its interesting pursued in this vital part of the globe. >> representative senator john mccain said over the weekend that it's the president's policy of disengagement or not engaging with the issues that are at hand there in the ar rab world that resulted in perhaps what we see develop in the last week or so. so has the president engaged the region in the best way to avoid the situation that we're in right now? >> absolutely. i mean, he has -- he had a seminar where he invited all the entrepreneurs throughout the region to come to washington. he has engaged o

president morsey must decide will his government tolerate chaos and violence? will he abandon egypt's leading role for stabet in the middle east? will he use democracy for consolidation of power while rejecting its central tenets? the responsibility of president morsey is also to speak swiftly and state clearly that the egyptian government duly elected is committed to its international responsibility and the deeper responsibilities of self-government. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house a number of amendments will be offered. and the house turns to d bait on extending the electronic surveillance law called fisa for two years. last votes this afternoon at 5:00. we will have live house coverage at noon here on c-span. next up we are going to take you to the white house just a short while ago, the president accompanied by secretary of state hillary clinton, came out to make a statement about the death of ambassador chris stevens and foreign service

when morsey was sworn in.would call for that. >> on the flip side this is good for debate and love to hear your thoughts on it. one of 50 current or former heads of state and clinton global initiative stated goal at least is to come up with solutions don't you want him released? if all the heads of state are going to be there talking about this? it's a political question for how to tackle him. >> egypt had been such a long ally of the united states. we know our supports in years past hosni mubarak and mubarak regime at this time. >> not a very good guy. >> not a very good guy. we supported egypt for a long long time for hosting mubarak. here is a guy who comes in and by all accounts appears to have a moderating position right now and lots to see. love to hear your thoughts on this. >> let us know at twitter at ff weekend. >> tell you what else is happening in the world. overnight u.s. drone strike killed at least three militants in pakistan. the strike was in a rural area known to hide taliban and al qaeda mem

morsey is not going to ask for this guy to be released, then we've got something else going in our head intelligence that we now have, that the white house didn't disclose in the beginning, that was the point of the egyptian protest. the release of the blind sheik. >> brian: so people should know who he is, he also plotted to blow up everything in the world trade center in '93. he also had a plan in place to blow up our bridges and tunnels simultaneously. that was thwarted. now that we have him in a maximum security prison -- i don't know how he didn't get death. >> i don't know either. it's topsy turvy, who is our ally and the enemy? is the ally sending out arabic tweeting saying continue the protests and at the same time sending different ones out to make believe to the world that somehow they're being supportive of the united states? who is our ally? shouldn't we be meeting with our ally? >> brian: over 20 of our embassies has been attacked, the consulates in 20 different countries. al-qaeda's presence is all over north african and for the most part, you don't see that anywhere. >> e

think that the attacks of two weeks ago were very much a wakeup call and hopefully now that president morsey is coming to new york that message will be front and center. you allowed mobs to attack our embassy. you didn't say anything for 48 hours. and if that kind of behavior continues it's going to be impossible to help you out of an economic crisis that you need to fix. we have the leverage and we need to put that front and center. host: if we go in there and say behave or we're going to withdraw our foreign aid to countries like libya and egypt and the like, is there a concern that they're going to say you know what? take your money. we'll go to china we'll go to south america and get foreign aid from those guys? guest: he's already tried to do that. he had a trip to china a couple weeks ago in which he came away with $71 million of direct investment which is nothing. and then came away with 4.8 billion in infrastructure development projects. now, the way the chinese typically to these projects is they send chinese workers to complete them. therefore they're not employing egyptians. it's
