but i am arguing in this book is the pendulum has started to swing again and that is because we seapower moving from the west that is to see north america and europe, and it's heading east, but it's not just hitting east and that is why it is called no one's moral. i don't believe that any country regional or model will dominate in fact i think we are headed to a world in the first time in history will be interdependent, globalized, but without a political anchor. >> why do these terms take so long? you're talking about since the 17th and 18th century you were talking about the next term. >> i think that this will be the fastest because we live in the digital age and we are seeing how quickly china is growing, how quickly they are catching not get economically with a united states and consequently the degree to which globalization brings economic change to the midwest we've lost roughly half of our manufacturing jobs in the last ten years in part because economic activity is moving so quickly elsewhere. but in general, what happens is today's core over time becomes tomorrow's perfidy. pe

. >> which way is the pendulum swinging for the gop right now? the subtitle of your text is this an unlikely comeback of the right. i am not sure if i know that -- which with the pendulum is swinging. >> are they still on a roll? >> the way they are slamming each other it is hard to see how anyone comes through that and still is strong enough to challenge president obama after they are done hammering each other like that. on the other hand, the fact that you need so much money to run for president al and we're talking newt gingrich or whoever is going to their own pet billionaire and giving the billionaire -- getting the billionaire to write a check. the fact you have to have a pet billionaire changes the equation. in some ways it does not matter if you have a republican or democrat. of course, it matters. it is not completely indifferent. the power of money put certain choices off the table for us as a society. the kind of things that franklin roosevelt did are not even available to us any more. tavis: to the point you made. how much is this sup

and what i'm arguing in this book is that pendulum has started to swing again, and that's because we see power moving from the west, that is to say north america and europe, and it's heading east, but it's not just heading east, and that's why i call the book "no one's world." i don't think that any country, region or model will dominate. in fact, i think we're headed for a world that for the first time in history will be interdependent, globalized but without a political anchor. >> host: why do these turns take so long? you're talking about a turn since the 17th and 18th centuries, you're talking about the next turn that we're in. >> guest: well, i think that this turn will actually be the fast e turn ever because -- fastest turn ever because we live in the digital age, and we're seeing how quickly china is growing, how quickly they're catching up economically with the united states. and consequently the degree to which globalization brings economic change to the u.s. we've lost roughly half of our manufacturing jobs in the last ten years in part because economic activity is moving

oakwood mayor jean quan that pendulum somvandt $5 billion. this is the first protest started and that the month of october. in washington d.c. this is mcpherson square. police were not there to evict protesters but to check the they wanted to comply with the no camping law. the request to live in a public park is not part of the first amendment. >> also, the possible between israel and iran and they say time is running out for the country to develop foreign nuclear-weapons. both are pushing for sanctions against. >> this is 48 anti-ward development grassroots daniel belzberg. who did the comic con paper stood 1971 that called on the president and military forced. >> put the negotiations back on the paper. and the idea is atrocious. >>vicki: the conflict is already going to increase their already present a anti-american sentiment. >> a special education student has been a arrested had gross amoun rosa's amou-rosemont eleml sexual fowl play has been no- sal sexual foul play. has been believed to have take place. >> this young man crushed after

and he can't swing the pendulum for mitt romney? i think it speaks volumes how confused the conservative electorate is in the state. how will it fare up against president obama? i'm joined by keith ellison, good to have you with us tonight, appreciate your time. always interesting to see what happens in minnesota, because the pendulum can shift. what do you make of rick santorum and his polling right now? it seems to mie the same people that did it for him down in iowa are showing up in minnesota, the last time i checked that state is a stone's though away. what do you make of what is unfolding? >> well, one thing about rick santorum is he believes what he says he believes. and in minnesota, whether the conservatives like us liberals or progressives, prides authenticity, that is something romney lacks. >> you are speaking volumes, my friend. let me tell you about newt gingrich last night at this event. he walks in, he speaks, he says vote for me, does no retail politic what's so ever. i was really stunned by that. he didn't interact

you need to see the pendulum has now swung. the tea party in many ways has lost a lot of this mojo because of overreach. it is out of sync with the values of so many people. we could have seen that in the summer of 2009. one of tea party people stood up and said "government, take your hands off my medicare." you see how internalized those programs are. >> who does not want to watch a car wreck? >> it has done a lot of damage. >> this tweet says the obama administration is responsible for the tea party. >> it opened a backing tree that hot summer of 2009 -- it opened up a vacuum for it. that hot summer of 2009. the president could have mobilized. there were people mobilizing on their own. a pragmatic, progressive president would have understood the power of having people in those places to combat a message that was full of misinformation. remember teh death panels? part of that is on us to fight back and expose that. only after labor day did the president come forward and begin to speak again to the people and explain where they

port wrongdoing and protects those doing the wrong quite often in the name of national security the pendulum right now is still very much a post nine eleven time national hysteria and limited civil rights and liberties and she would note was the justice department received lower in the case of the so-called american taliban john walker lindh i had advised not to interrogate him without an attorney and not to torture him and when i blew the whistle i ended up being put under criminal investigation referred to a state bar or some which i'm licensed as a warrior and put on the no fly list but it. wasn't always this way in two thousand and two the time magazine person of the year was the whistleblowers and although the government tried to have him put away for life daniel ellsberg was hailed as a hero by the public for leaking information that became known as the pentagon papers classified documents he helped author that revealed what was actually happening in vietnam. what he revealed to the public what the public should have known from the government itself. important knowledge important knowl

some say the pendulum has moved too far in the wrong direction, making it too hard for people to borrow, and too difficult for the housing recovery to build a foundation. >> i think going from so loose policy to so tight policy is not a good thing, and there are people who can actually afford to buy a home and move on. >> reporter: housing expert andrew barroscas disagrees. he says lending standards got too loose and, now, they're just right. >> they are a lot more stringent than where they were, but they're right about at norm of where they should be in order for banks to take the risk. >> reporter: as for safi's new place, she moved in two weeks ago. and already, it's home. >> i love it. i do! >> reporter: suzanne pratt, "nightly business report," englewood cliffs, new jersey. >> tom: stocks barely budged, despite that housing deal and another drop in new claims for jobless benefits. claims fell by 15,000 in the past week to 358,000, further indication that we're seeing an improvement in the labor market. the dow was up six, the nasdaq added 11, and the s&p rose two. >> susie: more no

the pendulum swung and, well, the -- my counterpart's side was very good and effective at social media, internet outreach. in 2008 the other side, let's just be frank, was not. the second thing this year involves the move act. in 2010 as secretary peres noted, there was a warm-up here where everyone was getting their selige legs. one thing you will see in 2012 is a lot of groups on the ground registering military voters. there is going to be a concerted effort for voter military registration. on military bases throughout the country, it outposts and towns such as, for example, fayetteville, north carolina, we have very large military populations. this once again has been largely ignored in past elections. those days, i think, are over with. and this year you're going to see that. now, what does this mean for you? it means that you're going to see quite possibly influxes of registrations from groups you've not seen before. there's a group called the military voter protection project that exists primarying for registering military voters, and you may remember they brought a case in maryl

the pendulum has sort of swung. while my counterpart's side was very good and effective at social media, internet outreach, in 2008, the other side let's just be frank was not. i think finally the republican side has caught up to this, and you're going to see a very aggressive effort in 2012 to use the internet in a way that frankly imitation is the best form of flattery, and that's the first thing i think you're going to see this year. but the second thing that is going to be different this year involves the move act and 2010, as secretary perez noted, was a warmup year, where everybody was sort of getting their sea legs. but one of the things that you'll see in 2012 is a lot of groups on the ground in the next few months registering military voters. there is going to be concerted effort, not only for move act enforcement but also for military voter registration on military bases throughout the country, at outposts in towns such as, for example, fayetteville, north carolina, where you have very large military popul

but i think it's still the case where we're a little bit too far on the side -- the pendulum has swung a little bit too far. we're working with bank, particularly small banks, and i would reiterate this point, that it's incredibly important for banks to take a balanced approach and examiners to take a balanced approach so that they make a safe loan and they're so important for our communities and our economy to recover. >> if you look at the types of loans that banks are making. there is the big loans because they are the profitable ones. so in that regard, this is why we pass this small business lending bill, where the feds were lending community banks money that they used to pay t.a.r.p. money back but then they made the loans that we were expecting for them to make. so given that scenario, do you think that it is still important and meaningful role for the federal government to play in providing lending programs that will fill that gap that exists from the private sector? >> well, we've had a good relationship -- the fed has had a good relationship for the fsb, small business admini

the ten amendments content commandments out of state courthouses i think it is pretty clear the pendulum has swung reading far in the christianity direction now and for newt making an attack on president obama for respecting all religions was just ludicrous only in the g.o.p. just being an open minded individual i mean that you're doing something wrong so for wanting christianity to be respected more than other religions practiced in the united states despite the fact that it goes completely against the constitution g.o.p. presidential candidate newt gingrich is tonight's top time winner. our guys it's time for a happy hour and joining me tonight is lauren lyster host of the capital account here on r.t.e. and comedian lafayette right. hey guys thanks for joining we would love to have welcome to the show but. we're going to start this evening off with reminding us ourselves what it's like when obama likes to sing a song. the was. loose was now let's compare that with what happens when mitt romney tries to sing a song. oh beautiful for spacious skies for. i mean. there are ads i just don't

now this pay a pendulum has to swing back a little bit i think what tom was saying making it easier for a political party to get registered and that we would see more of. them but we would at the same time we wouldn't see the chaos that we saw in the one nine hundred ninety s. i think that the kind of investors that i work with would very much welcome. that kind of that kind of orderly transition right now a lot of money is sort of sitting on the sidelines waiting we've seen that you know sort of most obviously in the equity markets. you know pulling back sharply at the end of this and of last year and rebounding a bit and in the first two months of this year but we also work with a number of private equity and venture capital players who are considering investing in russia and. and what they tell me is is that bill they'll be making their sort of final decisions on potential transactions in march and in april so they're waiting to see how how the elections play out see what the popular reaction on the streets is and we may very well see some significant events and vestments foreign dir

the fact that that sounds so insane to people and rages so many people just shows you how far the pendulum has swung and the point that i'm making again is that people say the reason the middle class in trouble is that american manufacturing jobs have gone overseas it's true we've lost those jobs but it's not that they're manufacturing jobs it's that they paid well and now we have low wage service jobs and people go well if it's just that they're low skilled if those people want to make more they go get more skills that's just not true the reason that service jobs are low paid is because companies are saying we're going to pay our workers as little as we can and we're going to keep as much profit as we can verse elves you step back what you see is that wages is a share of the economy and are an all time low corporate profits are near an all time high and you look at that say why is that it's because companies are paying their employees a little so my point is wal-mart you made twenty six billion dollars last year of operating profit spread the wealth a little bit yeah yeah absolutely befor
