that's our political system. i gave a talk once and describe what it was that i saw in our system, and somebody said, oh you're a systems engineer. yeah. the problem is that it's not that we elect stupid people. it's not that we elect mean people who don't care about the country. it's that we have created a political system, not a constitutional system political system which allows the political parties -- 46 states 46 -- including arizona -- have laws that say that if you ran for your party's nomination in a primary or convention and you didn't get your nomination you were not allowed to be on the ballot in november. which means, take an example in utah, they had a convention and senator robert bennett, moderate conservative, was running for re-election in the senate. they had a convention with 3500 people there in a state of three million people, by a very small number of votes he lost the nomination in that convention and was not allowed to be on the ball president in november when he would have overwhelmingly

yes, it was a political speech. selma was a political event. secondly, look who was there. president bush. the fact that president bush was there who did authorize the vote -- >> yeah. >> -- there's a reason why more people should follow president bush's example. lastly, the president's speech in that moment was worthy of grant. that will be covered in grant. that was american exceptionalism. we can take that card off the table. >> the race will continue without our african-american president. >>> our reporters give us a sneak peek into their notebooks and a visit to iowa that hillary clinton may find a tad inconvenient. no sudden movements. google search: bodega beach house. you pay for your data every month. so why does your carrier take back what you don't use? it's your data! all your unused data and if you switch now, we'll even give you 10 gigabytes of free 4g lte data on the spot. 10 gigabytes of free 4g lte data. only from t-mobile. meet thsuperpower.ewest energy surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon beco

and then there's the political economy argument. with the political economy argue. it's most salient, which is basically arguing that where you have oil resources or resource minerals like in many countries in the arab world and the gulf region, those resources have benefited authoritarian regimes to solidify their role and basically redistribute resources in ways that undermines a democratic social contract, if you may. so in other words, now citizens are getting very generous benefits from the regime but in exchange they're not betting democratic opening. so there's this implicit, if you may, social contract, political contract between regimes and citizens that instead of exercising voice we will give you resources but you don't have to exercise voice to attain the resources. unlike the western democratic experience where citizens that mobilize to make demands to expand the franchise and to expand redistribution and whatnot. so in the book i can see to this. i say perhaps it explains some of the author tarean durability but not all of it. even in the gulf countrie

of politics today. shapes my view of politics today. in a campaign that cost $4000, i, and the people who supported me, knocked on thousands of doors in the city, and let me tell you, it gets cold in vermont in march. on election night when the votes were counted, we won the working class wards by something like two to one and won the election by all of 14 votes. it was the biggest political upset in modern vermont history , and after the recount, the margin of victory was reduced to 10 votes. without going to any great links here, i took office with 11 out of 13 members of the city council, democrats and republicans, in very strong opposition to my agenda. and trust me, if those of you in this room think that president obama has gotten a rough time from republicans, that was nothing compared to what i and my supporters experienced during my first year of office. a year later, a slate of candidates working with me defeated a number of incumbent obstructionists. a year after that, in an election in which

she has not been doing political events.er giving a speech tonight effectively is the democratic equivalent to all of the public campaigning happening among those candidates on the republican side. right now if hillary clinton is speaking at a public political event in the united states, that is the democratic presidential primary. that is the way democrats are campaigning for the presidency in 2016. that is it. very different from what is going on on the republican side. the other reason this speech tonight is a big deal is in the absence of any formidable primary opponents, the way that hillary clinton is being tested as a candidate, it is not by her primary rivals for the nomination, but rather by the press. both the conservative press and the main stream press. and last night on the eve of what you saw there, getting ready for a rare political speech, last night on the eve of this public appearance last night, they broke this potentially difficult story for secretary clinton and her campaign. it has been previously repor

it is political. it is about whether or not they can function as a government in a way that wins over their people. in the short term, this military offensive, how important is it how politically unsettling is it, to have iran involved -- not just as support or not just cheering from the sidelines or sending iranian fighters iranian trainers over how important is it for them to be operationally involved in this that is unset ing to the american plil political context in the way we are involved. >> iraq is in a unique position. the two closest allies are enemies. it is backed by the united states but also for the past several years has had tremendous iranian influence, politically, economically, militarily and religiously. a close religious connection between iraq and iran given the fact they are predominantly shia. there have been concerns about the is shia militias and the behavior of these. the past several years have taught us the rise of shia militias have brought a lot of sectarian rife with them

between policy politics and electoral politics. you know, most of the voters are either voting ethnocultural antagonisms, or else reflexively voting for a party that they attached themselves to for some reason in the past. we saw marvin meyers suggesting that what jacksonian democracy is not really about is class conflict but instead, in his words, a persuasion. that would characterizes jackson -- that what characterizes jackson and his party was not so much a program as a sense of unease. the whigs speaking to americans' hopes and jacksonian democrat speaking to their fears. so that if there is anything that divides whigs and democrats, it's more a frame of mind. than a class position. and taking that even further, we saw daniel walker howe, "the political culture of the american whigs," celebrating the whigs as carriers of progress. as optimists. they are, in certain parts of the business community, but it is not a business community that is cowering in fear and trying to fight off the bastions of modernity as schlesinger would h

stop the partisan politics, stop derailing this important opportunity to come together in a spirit of bipartisanship to end human trafficking. putting part sang politics over the lives of hundreds of thousands of american children who fall victim to the brutal reality of human trafficking every year is just absolutely wrong. and to quote our distinguished colleague from the state of maryland senator milulski mikulski who said let's get it done and let's get it done now. i would say mr. president and to my colleague from texas life is too precious, these crimes are too serious for this issue to be caught up in the crosshairs of washington politics. this has got to stop. this has got to end. this is a piece of bipartisan legislation that will help literally hundreds of thousands, millions, i would say, of americans across this country and it is time that we begin to right the wrongs of injustice by turning the tide in law enforcement's favor and helping those who are trying to combat these terrible, heinous crimes to succeed and help the victims of these crimes restore their lives. and

idea of politics.o even this their key moment of the sort of apex of their leadership, they would say i'm not a leader. i'm not looking for power, i'm not a leader i'm just channeling what the people want. and that modesty in the beginning turned into, ultimately, quite a disruptive pathology for the people who were trying to change the regime in egypt. but in those early 18 days in tahrir square, there was very clearly a skeleton to the movement, and it took shape as something that was called the revolutionary youth coalition. this was a group of about 20 young people -- and this being egypt, a lot of the young people were older than me, in their 40s, but that's in a country where you have to be 70 or 80 to be considered someone who had earned their stripes and ready to run something. 40-year-olds are just kids. so these youth leaders, some of them were like a man who grew to become my friend over the years that followed came from backgrounds that did encourage politics. in a society where politics wa

political rights under this system. the real question is in the reverse direction. if we actually say the identity of the speaker is irrelevant which is the heart of justice kennedy's opinion, doesn't make any difference to the speaker is does that mean churches can spend money in elections? that is the question i pose to you. can the church of latter-day saints, the roman catholic church take money out of their treasuries that is in there for religious purposes that people have given on a tax-deductible basis and the churches are tax exempt and put it into politics because the identity of the speaker is irrelevant? can foreign governments spend money and foreign corporations spend money, if not why not? if all speech is good surely those foreign governments, the chinese government would love to spend several billion dollars in our elections. why not a false speech is good and we don't care about the source or the origin of it? the american people have this right, thomas paine when he wrote common-sense knew what he was

president assad: we live in a political family.rlie: because he was a significant political figure in the middle east would he have done things differently? president assad: that is a virtual question. nobody knows. charlie: do you think he would agree with what you did? president assad: he would not allow the terrorists to come over or submit to external intervention. he would have defended his country. the same thing happened in the same -- in the 1970's and early 80's. the muslim brotherhood started assassinating and killing. that was his mission as a president. he fought them to read that is what he had to do. to relieve the terrorist killing of people. charlie: is it a fair appraisal of what you believe that everything must be done, and the and justifies the means, to stop terrorism -- ends justify the means, to stop terrorism? president assad: no, it is not the end justifies the means. you have principles. you you have to defend your country. for your interests, you have to get writ of terrorism. that is how we think. not onl

there's a lot of division politically on this, ultimately politics is preceded by elections, in a lot of places where these issues are coming up, you might say that one way to change this is to change the people in office, so how do you get people -- how do you get -- if that's your perspective, how do you get people to turn out and advocate for the position that you're taking and ultimately change leadership. >> well, my goal with this sort of -- i've started an organization called lady parts justice -- >> you can say that on public television, that's fine. >> what we're trying to do is getting -- part of it is that people don't know the assault is so great and that it's coming on a state level, oregon is the only state that has not done some sort of curbing of reproductive health care law since row v. wade. it's kind of amazing, so if we can get people to understand that it's happening, because ten million more women than men voted in the last general, the big last presidential election. if we can get them to understand this is happening, especially on a state level where you can ma

you node this bonanza to be politically achieved. the problem is can this be achieved or not. we will be able to say this in the coming few years egypt's growth rates now i think a bit above 2%. even if they jump 5% compared to mubarak, this does not guarantee social and plottical stability again. there's another issue the issue of the two -- there are seeds of contribution in the strategy. in one area, the current regime seems to be going liberal counting on subsidies trying to get fortune investments, but at the same time, there is an arm of the state intervening in the market and skewing it to their favor, the military establishment with economic investments that has a list of economic privileges that may undermine the competition the free and fair competition with private investors mainly because of the free land, because of no taxation, because of preferential customs and exchange rates because an army with the soldiers as conscripts. part of what happened in 2011, the military removing must be remember was because of the new economic policies that threatened the military
