joined by joseph chang professor of political science at hong kong city university thank you so much mr chang for joining us here on our team to discuss the situation there so what is your take on the situation in this is clearly an attack against government officials so who could be behind this attack them you know basically two types of terrorist activities in china one kuyt comes from well organized groups especially the groups ethnic minorities such as the quake was even. but it's another type tends to be isolated incidents from individuals who feel very much as we do because the person no experiences like treatment in the head and sort of public security that now people who have been wrong to in court cases. unjustly punished and so on unfortunately these incidents tend to have a certain demonstration effect that is people take such that they have learned. from the media what we see just a week ago there was another attack which chinese officials call the next attack in a terrorist attack could we be seeing a new tendency in china of terrorist attacks as we don't hear of terror acts happ

mr. president, is not whether to change the rules. i support changing the rules to allow a president to get a vote on nominees to executive and to most judicial positions. buwhat this is all about is ends and means. pursuing the nuclear option in this manner removes an important check on majority overreach. as senator vandenberg said, if a senate majority decides to pursue its aims unrestrained by the rules, we will have sacrificed a professed, vital principle for the sake of momentary convenience. republicans have filibustered three eminently qualified nominees to the circuit court of appeals for the district of columbia. they make no pretense of the argument that these nominees are unqualified. the mere nomination of qualified judges by this president, they say, qualifies as courtpacking. it is the latest attempt by republicans, having lost two presidential elections, to seek preventing the duly elected president from fulfilling his constitutional duties. the thin veneer of substance laid over this partisan obstruction is the claim

mr. rose so with the one month -- now does that change things here? >> yes it does. we concur with the report for that end date but by pushing it to january 31 i would like the opportunity to revisit the numbers. we believe this amount is sufficient but i don't want to come back and short change us again. >> let me suggest this. we will talk public comment but i want suggest that we continue the items and not take amendments -- hold on. we need to do the extension amendment now and do the numbers amendment next week if we can advise you to work on it together. okay. >> and if i could make one other comment? i am sure i would appreciate and my colleagues at the other departments would appreciate if maybe we could have a small working group in next fiscal year to see ways that we can expedite the contract approvals for the board. right now they average six and eight weeks and mr. rose is accommodating but everyone needs time to do their due diligence before we bring it here and we find ourselves short in the process of getting in front of the board so the departments c

the fact of the matter is this -- any vote to break the rules to change the rules is a vote to ensure obamacare remaining intact. so, mr. president, i'll conclude by saying this -- changing the rules of the senate in this way was a mistake. but if the last several years have taught us anything, it's that the majority won't stop making these demands. and if we can't give in -- if we can't give in to these constant threats, sooner or later you have to stand up and say, enough is enough. but if there's one thing that will always be true, it's thi this -- majorities are fickle, majorities are fleeting, here today, gone tomorrow. that's a lesson that sadly most of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle haven't learned for the simple reason that they've never really served a single day in the minority. so the majority has chosen to take us down this path. the silver lining is that there will come a day when roles are reversed. when that happens, our side will likely nominate and confirm lower court and supreme court nominees with 51 votes, regardless of whether the democrats actually buy into this fanciful notion that

mr. transparency himself changed the fine print, and made believe he didn't know anything about it. kind of reminds me of a used car salesman. >> used cars aren't lying, aren't kidding, we're telling the truth when he say, we have used cars in a-1 condition, a-2, a-3. we have used cars. >> he changed the rules so that we could not keep our health care plans. shock. he lied again. he lied about that awful video in benghazi. e had lied about getting to the truth about the irs. and he lied to us about what most of us consider sacred. our family's health. now, how do i know this? i know it, because his own justice department and legal papers filed in federal court admitted that most health plans would lose their grandfather status by the end of 2013. so, mr. president, we finally know where you draw the line on lies. lie to the american people -- no problem. lie to congress -- no problem. lie to an oversight committee -- not a problem. but even you know not to lie to a federal judge in federal court. and mind you, it's not only the 5% as you say who have their own plans that you now adm

it's time to change the senate before this institution becomes obsole obsolete. mr.he beginning of this congress the republican leader pledged that, and i quote, this congress should be more bipartisan than last congress. mr. president, we are told in scripture let's take, for example, the old testament, the book of numbers, promises, pledges, a vow, one must not break his word. in january, republicans promised to work with the majority to process nominations in a timely manner by unanimous consent except in extraordinary circumstances. mr. president, exactly, three weeks later republicans mounted a first in history filibuster of a highly qualified nominee for secretary of defense, despite being a former republican senator, a decorated war hero having saved his brother's life in vietnam. defense secretary secretary chuck hagel's nomination was in the senate a record 35 days more than three times the previous average of the secretary of defense. >> remember, mr. president, our country was at war. republicans have blocked executive nominees not because they object to t
