right now the republican chairman of the house homeland security committee peter king republican from new york state began his hearings today into american muslim communities there's no greater distraction than fear it's been so effective in the past it's been used again today here's of peter king had to say today i remain convinced that these hearings must go forward and they will. craven surrender to political correctness and an abdication of what i believe to be the main responsibility of this committee to protect america from interest attacked to strike work because for conventional wisdom in certain circles there is nothing radical or an american told me that hearings. pay no attention to the military trying to buy your city's water or power systems to turn a quick profit instead focus on your neighbor the muslim and his wife and kids that part of a sleeper cell that wants to blow your house up by the way your odds of dying in a terrorist attack in the united states are about one in nine million to put that in perspective you're three hundred times more likely to be shot by some

while homeland security committee chairman peter king wrong in the battle on the second round of his hearings on the radical islam threat yesterday the topic was muslim radicalization in u.s. presidents and democrats on hand wasted no opportunity to call out the chairman i guess is which ones take a look at my point here today information is welcome condemnation is not so the focus of this hearing in the sense that we're looking at what's wrong with the prison culture and how can we change and how can we improve it i think it's the right focus. to put it in the context of islam i think at the strikes but the continued discriminatory would i believe one particular. on the basis of race or religion in law and in should not be done in the house. and there's not a congressman responded to those charges this morning on television take a look. at you should be debatable and will drive a chair when you have a question about the standard we get a question about our work for we should go as far as you know we were there when i was a critic struggle for you care and other groups. hold these he

next hour, we will ask peter king, committee chair, what he thinks the problem is and what he thinksongress should do about it. >>> in greece, tens of thousands of protests take to the streets and bringing much of the country to a standstill. they are protesting the government's stifling budget cuts and deepening financial crisis. jay zain verjee is in london. how bad are things now at this moment? >> things are pretty bad. tempers are flaring. >> reporter: basically, what is happening here is the problem is that the greece government has spent too much money. it has lived for years above its means. what they need to do now is to launch than aus tausterity plan. if they don't, they will not get a critical bailout that they need from the europe buddies who are pretty angry they have to do this again with greece and if they don't do that, they will default on a crucial debt within the next two years. look at the scenes out on the street. you can see how mad people are. thousands of them out on the streets in athens and what they have done, kyra, they have surrounded parliament because

time was on the threat of muslim american radicalization within american prisons and once again peter king painted this threat as incredibly serious most of the witnesses however admitted that while there have been occurrences and it's worth looking into these cases are very rare in fact two thousand and ten report by the congressional research service concluded the prisons haven't played a large role in producing homegrown terrorists all the more reason not to have this specific here listen american prisons are dangerous places not only are they overcrowded but they are filled with violence and there are recruitment is going on at all levels to the bloods the crips the asian gangs the hispanics gangs to white supremacist organizations as well as to radical islam islam scuse me and all of that is worth keeping an eye on all of that. it is worth investigating but as a number of lawmakers pointed out at the hearing today there is no need to single out one prison group you see this is a larger systemic problem so why doesn't the media spend a little time dwelling on that and investigating the

peter king notwithstanding.ou talk about organizations like care ornate or any of the groups that are affiliates. why are they legal and why are they getting tax exempt status and why aren't americans able to put those questions to members of congress with the complete jurisdiction over the tax code and tax exempt status saying why are we indirectly funding terrorism if we give money to care that raises money for hamas? >> guest: fred, the million dollar question not only this administration, but under the bush administration l, the last administration. why are the groups even legal? care and isna, the largest influ enissue groups in america, the largest terrorism financing trial in american history, the holyland foundation trial of 2007 and 2008, which is online by the way, yes, all the documents, indictments, the results of it, but both of these groups were named as unindicted co-conspirators, yet there's an open door to our white house. it's madness, yet they advice the fbi on sensitivity training for the mus

. >>> on capitol hill, republican congressman peter king convened a second hearing on muslim extremism in the united states. the topic was islamic radicalization in prisons. while one witness testified that this is a growing problem, especially among muslim converts, another reported that the risk of terrorism originating from muslim prisoners is small. several islamic groups criticized the hearing, saying it is unfair to investigate a group of americans solely because of their religion. >>> the nation's roman catholic bishops gathered in seattle this week for their annual spring meeting. a key part of the agenda was reviewing sex abuse prevention policies they adopted in 2002. the bishops passed minor revisions, but said overall, the guidelines have "served the church well." still, there are lingering questions about compliance and accountability. joining me now is kim lawton, managing editor of this program. kim, are the bishops really following those 2002 guidelines? >> reporter: well, they say the majority of bishops are following the guidelines, but there are a couple who are not,

wildfires eating his state right now are really because of illegal aliens from mexico or congressman peter king investigating muslims in our prisons all ignoring issues of gangs and overcrowding in our prisons or herman cain saying if he's elected president he would require a muslim to take a loyalty oath that he has no problem with christians jews or warman's this is the sort of bias that our founders were horrified by it's the sort of bigotry that many of the early settlers in this country were fleeing from in europe is what president john adams opposed when he opened the treaty of tripoli ratified by the united states senate and signed in seventeen ninety seven adams their second president with the words as the government of the united states of america is not in any sense founded on the christian religion as it has in itself no character of empty against the laws religion or tranquility of muslims and as the said states never entered into any war or act still ity against any mohammad to be a nation is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions show ever produce

as witches and moved to philadelphia look at which ones resume house homeland security chairman peter king announced today he's holding his second hearing on the threat of muslims writ america next week in addition republican presidential hopeful herman cain the guy who most republicans think won the first debate a few weeks ago claimed on the glenn beck show that he would force muslims to take a loyalty oath before even considering hiring them for his cabinet take a look i didn't say i would appoint one because if they can prove to me they'd be a put in the constitution of the united states first be they would be a candidate just like everybody else my entire career high your good people great people regardless of their religious or and so weighted are you saying that it is the muslims have to prove there there's to be some loyalty proof yes to the constitution of the united states of america but would you do that to a catholic or would you do that no to a mormon no i wouldn't i wouldn't because there is a greater dangerous part of the muslim faith then there. he is the head of these reli

of congress uses to investigate american muslim communities in america or at the witchhunt you peter king and we're imprisoning muslims about trial torturing them often to death all of the knowledge and complicity of the white house and congress and then a u.s. senator calls for jailing people who attend speeches he doesn't like and sooner or later something happens and we realize what's going on. as mayer's german professor said quote and one day too late your principles if you were ever sensible of them all rush in upon you the burden of self deception has grown too heavy and some minor incident in my case my little boy hardly more than a baby same jews who are in collapses and all at once and you see that everything everything has changed and completely changed under your nose the world you live in your nation your people it is not the world you were entered on the forms are all there all untouched all reassuring the houses the shops the jobs the mealtimes the visits the concerts the cinema the holidays but the spirit which you have never noticed before because you made the lifelong mi

new comments he didn't think big brother went far enough in the patriot act so that combined with peter king syrians and two american muslim communities how long until republicans just make it official bring back john adams alien sedition acts and begin putting bloggers in jail like adams did with newspaper editors he didn't like yours that you could great liberal hopes internment camps but. what i think what i've been doing what is right what i think what he was saying is that he might have misspoken at the end of it but what he was saying is that you know if someone's going to yemen and going to listen to anwar a lot we're going to his his mosque maybe we should watch out for that. i don't think it's particularly crazy and he has to walk that people are going for here's the other question is what does that mean for people attending political speeches in our country and you can necessarily be responsible for what a speaker says on the stage or you know ted nugent says something crazy if you're going to be enemies of god or anything you can challenge you know it's different had you didn't pr

i was able to speak just a short time ago with a fellow new yorker, fellow congressman, peter king.y weiner for a long time and he acknowledged they did not always have the best relationship but have always been able to work together. he says anthony weiner made the right decision and hopefully will get the treatment he needs. peter king, as i mentioned, they have not always had the best relationship, and they have been known for having epic battles on the house floor. one you will probably remember over a health care bill having to do with health care for 9/11 first responders. i asked congressman king will he miss the fight. listen here. >> i think confrontation can be good as long as it's done in the open and at each other and not sending out mail or targeting people. whatever anthony weiner and i did, we did it as far as our fights in public. we agreed, the 9/11 health care bill in the end, we were able to get that bill through and worked on it together. >> congressman king, as many people have said and will say, he said this has been a tragic experience for obviously anthony we

like the time he took on congressman republican peter king.a bill to provide medical care for 9/11 first responders. >> you vote in favor of something, you either believe it's the right thing. if you believe it's the wrong thing, you vote know. we are following a procedure. i will not yield to the gentleman. the gentleman will observe regular order. >>. >> reporter: but he does have a soft side. last july, weiner married long-time aide to hillary clinton and became the only jewish member of congress to be married to a devout muslim. officiating at the ceremony, former president bill clinton. >> she's a remarkable woman. she married a congressman. she knows something about living in public life and with that goes a certain amount of aggravation. i don't think she imagined that it would be this. >> that is perhaps an understatement. suzanne malveaux, cnn, atlanta. >> nato makes a major move and says it's sending a clear message to the regime of moammar gadhafi, even as another key player defects. also, will growing american opposition to u.s. in

there's senator peter king of new york right there. he's speaking. this is a picture -- this is the homeland security committee hearing. you can look around the room there see who's there. critics say some jailed terrorists and muslim chaplains are creating radical views among inmates in prisons. this by the way is the second hearing on this. it's a very controversial topic. some people compare the hearings to the scare of the 1950s when americans were questioned about their sympathies towards communism. >>> well, republican presidential candidate mitt romney will make a three day visit to california next week. the los angeles times says romney will hold fundraisers in the bay area, sacramento and southern california. events are scheduled between june 21st and june 23rd. the paper says g whitman is one of romney's state committee finance chairs. his bay area stops reportedly include a barbecue at the valley home of sun microsystems co-founder scott mcneilly. >>> time now 6:36. five san francisco smoke shops now facing a midnight deadline. the city at

because as you probably know, a the chairman and the homeland security committee in the house, peter king, has begun i think very gingerly a series of hearings on the radicalization of the american muslim community and has been vilified by the press and the organizations we will describe in a minute are tearing into him. but in your view, can we understand this threat? can we keep from being deceived without going into these mosques and finding out exactly how deeply involved they are insufficient because that's really what this is. and the last time i looked there was still a crime. >> guest: you can't have a firm grasp of what's going on in the muslim community, fred, if you don't have a presence. as intelligence in the mosques, you simply can't. a mosque is the center of the islamic community, and that's strategy for groups like the muslim brotherhood, and that's why you bring up those numbers. winstrol hundred mosques just ten years ago in america. that number has nearly doubled in just ten years. it's not a coincidence. the strategy for the saudis, groups like the muslim brotherhood,

the public can incumbent peter king and democrat nita lowey of new york have filed an amendment thatwould reverse that. so that probably is one of -- going to be one of the amendments that would be a great deal of focus and debate. >> was supposed to the legislation what can we expect to hear from them? >> you know, because it is the homeland security department has so many different levels to it and so different components, who was opposed to it and who is in favor really does depend on what particular program you're looking at.

the committee on homeland security held by peter king is discussing how prisons in u.s. may pose a terror threat once they get out of prison. but there was a study of homegrown terrorists and only found seven cases in which prison had a significant impact on an individual's radical individualization process. >> opportunities for radicalization a few, and the evidence bares that out. according to the research service of the 43 violent attacks carried out by muslims since 9/11, there were only two clear cases of radicalized released prisoners plotting a terrorists act. judging from the evidence, i think it's safe to conclude that the risk of terrorism origina originating from muslim con vurts in u.s. prisons is small. >> one was a 2009 plot to shoot down military planes and bomb synagogues in new york. the founder of the american islamic forum for democracy, he testified in front of the committee at the first hearing in march. thank you so much for coming on the show. i want to point out here that less than 5% of federal prisoners identify themselves as muslim. tell me why

determination, feistyness and above all his fire brand rhetoric like the time he took on republican, peter king to provide medical care for 9/11 first responders. >> you vote in favor of something if you believe it is the right thing. if you believe it is the wrong thing, you vote no. we are following procedure. i will not yield to the gentlemen and the gentlemen will observe regular order. the gentlemen will observe regular order. >> but he does have a soft side. last july, wiener married long-time aide to hillary clinton huma abadine. the only jewish member of congress to be married to a devout muslim. officiating at the ceremony, former president, bill clinton. >> she is a remarkable, remarkable woman. she married a congressman. she knows with that goes a certain amount of aggravation. i don't think she imagined that it would be this. >> reporter: that is perhaps an understatement. susan malveaux, cnn, atlanta. >> so let's talk more about this scandal. noah shackman is a contributor at wire magazine. he says that hackers got into his account and sent that lewd photoous. we alwa >> we always

this is a letter from peter king, executive director of american public works association, dated this month. "write on behalf of the 29,000 members of apwa in support of the economic development revitalization act, s. 782. we urge the senate to pass this legislation which will create jobs, stimulate economic growth in distressed areas and improve the economic growth of local communities." so, i would say this: after senator snowe speaks and others speak, i will reserve my balance of time to go into specifically what programs we have seen flourish because of that little spark that gets lit when e.d.a. gets in there. the private sector loves this program, the local government, state government loves it. its he's worked since 1965, and i would urge my colleagues, if you have amendments, let's get time agreements, let's dispose of those amendments, let's get to a final vote on this very important program which has flourished under democrat programspresident, republican presidents, democrat congresses, republican congresses. for goodness sake, does everything have to be a fight royal aroun

i have the support of my good friends, peter king and michael grimm of new york to stop the enhancedease process for the v.a. in my district. and this -- there's really a time you have an issue where everybody has come together, and clearly here's an issue where members of the community and the veterans have spoken with one voice, to say that what is being proposed there is against the best wishes of the veterans and the needs of the veterans and against the wishes of the community basically changing the whole complexity of the community so that the people that lives there would have a terrible injustice and disservice. now, i know that the process works in certain areas because part of it is supposed to be where the eeul works with the community and veterans and everybody agreeing and working together. that is not the case in this scenario. and this scenario, we have veterans, you know, from all over. in fact, we have the kings county council of v.f.w.'s, we have the vietnam vets of america, we have the queens council of -- department of new york 1 v.f.w., united council for v.a. ri
