authority now since euro zone is different countries they obviously don't have a single fiscal of polity but to back a single currency they must have a very shared understanding of who's going to pay the bills if a problem arise that will become a substitute for the single i don't think that's been sufficiently clear i think in the first flush of you know a good feeling about the euro there was an assumption that a lot of benefits that come to european countries from having the same currency but not enough appreciation that there are costs and i think that's now evident so it's a challenge for europe how they're going to handle this trade in future i do feel that they need to be if you like bailed out right now because i don't think it's in anybody's interest to see a major financial collapse about moving ahead how do you stop the same for problem arising ten years from now it is very important for europe to have a very clear rules of behavior how are they going to deal with fiscal crises. i mean what's going to be the role of the european central bank in bailing out governments as. the

state in one of the poorest boroughs in the country and it's not just the absolute dollar levels of polity it's the levels of inequality in the united kingdom now there is greater inequality than at any point for the last two hundred euro's that he's going to have to go back to the base of the slave trade to find such a disparity between the rich and the poor and this is a society where the where the culture of commercialization has run wild over the last twenty five years and what you expect if you show people repeatedly the most expensive consumer goods tell them that they're sell or they lie but their respect from other people will be judged by the degree to which they can obtain these goods and then deny them the ability to get them or you there because the wages also low or if there are no jobs at all well because of endemic politics this is the combustible material that's been building up at the bottom of british society for a generation ago and really the surprise is not that the riots happened but the report let's talk about one of the reactions to these recent riots and measure ca

liberty, a free people functioning in a democratic polity was the work of the original revolution andthe decades that followed. by the era of andrew jackson in the 1830s universal suffrage was the norm in america. it was white and male to be sure but no other nation in the world came close to qualifying as a genuine democracy. the british have a parliamentary government but the electorate was so tiny it could not legitimately qualify as a democracy. european elites had good reason to worry because the american success was a broad participation in representative government became the model for reform groups in europe and radical groups in europe from britain to russia. reformers repeatedly invoked the american revolution more than the french as an example worthy of imitation. but the stunning irony of that age revealed that this most democratic nation in the world was one of the last to abandon the institution of human slavery. this was a contradiction that could not indoor. the revolution for equality demand an end to slavery and the recognition of fundamental human dignity and that w

the clue that they hope will track down a hit-and-run driver that killed a prominent san francisco politi @acc >>> good morning. 6:13. we have a big traffic situation developing on the peninsula. if you keep taking westbound 92 as we see the taillights doing, eventually they are going to get in san mateo. the southbound 101 ramp there is closed after a big rig collision. it spilled debris on southbound 101 blocking right lanes. what we are talking about is a slowdown around hillsdale on 101. westbound 92 and foster city going to san mateo. another two hours is the estimated reopening time for the westbound 92 to southbound 101 ramp. sue will have another update for us in a few minutes. take a look at the alternate at this point. >>> 6:14 is the time. highway patrol is asking for public's help finding hit-and-run driver who killed a prominent san francisco political figure while he was jogging in sonoma county. this white ford extented cab pick-up struck 63-year-old donald casper in forestville on sunday. the picture shows the truck heading eastbound on river road near the corvelle winery.

i've never heard that in politi politics. for a long time i've heard the republican party be restrained about let's go sock it to the poor. this is a new one from orrin hatch. >> right. and it was a bipartisan program, under the first george bush, the earned income tax credit that said we're creating a lot of low-wage jobs, we don't know what's going on, a lot of people are working hard, but they're still poor, so a republican began funneling people money, cutting their taxes, and that was accepted. milton friedman thought this was a good idea, but now that's socialism. that's how far this country has come, that it's time to bash the hard-working poor people who aren't making enough to get out of poverty rather than help them. it's so mean-spirited. >> in terms of party, partisanship, in terms of ethnicity, the squeezing of the labor force, not just bringing in new hires, but to squeeze the people who are working, that's how we avoid recession. and now citizen united a call by supreme court that they could use all their power

that many arabs are looking to turkey to learn some lessons about a transition from authoritarian politi a more democrat politicalystem. it makes it more interesting for arabs, that a party of islamist patrimony led a reform program in 2003 and 2004 that's made turkey more freer and democratic, if not exactly more liberal, but nevertheless this is something that's spurred the interest of arabs even before the uprisings in the region and now afterwards as they grope for ideas about how to rebuild their own political system and society. >> rose: ross what, about thisay where, it stands with respect to the islamic majority? >> i think that's an issue that turkey is having to grapple wit now. there's been tremendous change in turkish society over the course of the last 20 or 30 years, a massive move in the population that i think is still accelerating from the countride to the cities. the country was 50% urban, 5050%. todayt's 7 75 you are the cities and to the country's political life. and for many of those voters the estrangement of islam from urban life, from national life, is -- looks st

we have seen the emergence of policy in a -- polity in a nato context where nations are opting out. and the tension between -- i hate to use the rumsfeldian phrase -- the difference between the outlook between the original members of the alliance and those who are feeling more and there is concern between the older members and you were members whether they really understand article roman 5. i think that was exacerbated in this campaign. -- i think the answer depends on whether we in washington assert our leadership role and whether we can work with other allied leaders in other major countries to remember what the alliance was all about and actually to get them to understand what the strategic concept they signed up to only 10 months ago really means. >> thank you very much, frank. and number of questions i am sure the audience will want to address when we return to the discussion. but first, i wanted to address the next question -- with respect to libyan intervention has implications for european leadership within the alliance also. i would like you to address that, and in a coroll

let's take a look at aeport from "politi." political murder to natural disaster calling the event last week a wake-up call from above. she is not the first public figure to call the hurricane a message from the almighty. others suggest that new orleans may have triggered hurricane katrina with theiray pride parade. it is not aainstay -- mainstream view. guest: that is an extreme way of putting things. everybody says natural disasters are a wake-up call. we have to recognize that these kinds of things happen. we have to be prepared for them. it is a wake-up call for us to get our house in order and do the things that we need to do that so often we neglect to do. that part of the statement i would agree with. troubles me that people make su a big deal about extreme statements like that. particularlyhen it comes from conservative figures. i have heard many from the left that do not get that ch attention. i bristle at that. those are personal opinions that have been stated. there is an element of truth in them. we have to view the

they're all republicans but the only thing they agreed on is the opposition to president obama's polities. bill other than that it was partisan politics on the front and center stage. here's rick santorum and ron paul's back and forth. >> you ask the israelis what keeps them up at night it's hamas, hezbollah, the support of syria, and the reason -- let me finish. i know the rules, you guys have been given these guys a whole lot of time and -- >> you have a question coming. the senator is wrong on his history. we've been at war in iran for a lot longer than '79. we started it in 1953, when we sent in the coup, installed the shah and the reaction, the blowback came in 1979, it's been going on and on, because we just plain don't mind our own business. that's our problem. bill: let's get to the moderator, bret baier for "special report", live in iowa, good morning to you. i mentioned you were herding cats a little last night. i thought it was a terrific evening, and very entertaining. what did you think, how did you evaluate it? >> reporter: it was interesting! it was lodgesticly a little tou

. >> it increases did you polity but you can't lock it like you can lock a file cabinet.yn: we've got three years to figure it out. thank you very much. >>> congresswoman maxine waters says the tea party can, quote, go to hell. a tea partier who responded to that language, live, here. >> i'm not afraid of the big bad wolf. i'm not afraid of anybody. this is a tough game. you can't be intimidated. you can't be frightened. and as far as i'm concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell. megyn: fox news alert, president obama about to make a statement on the latest development necessary libya in about, well, now we think about five minutes or so. we are hearing now that the administration officials are saying there's no evidence that libyan leader moammar qaddafi has left tripoli, but, of course, that city has been seized and is mostly under the control now we understand of the libyan rebels. there is a question as to what this means for our troops. earlier, it was leaked that the president was saying this does not change our position, that there will be no american troop

things such as the epa criteria which says that farmers and as a polities have to have runoff -- andipalities have to have runoff water that as parts per billion purer than rainwater or else they will be fine. that is coming out of washington, d.c. that is frustrating business. this is the symbol of the inaction that we have had here recently. these other bills passed in the house and as you can say, nothing is getting through to the senate. people said i should run for the senate, and i said i would rather go up there and work. i don't know what these guys do. [laughter] [applause] here is a flow chart. back in february, the president proposed his 2012 budget. it failed in the senate, and the house of representatives passed the ryan plan, it went to the senate and sat there. there are 12 appropriations bills that have to be passed in order for the federal government to continue to operate itself. so far in the house, we've only passed six of those. we are working through the interior bill which is something we have to pick up when we get back. but the senate has only passed one of t

. >> you about that's part of the politi politics. you have your pledges on the left.we do not. >> gee, gne, go ahead. >> you lost the battle against the checklist. it's in place. >> i don't think i lost to this extent. it's pot whether i'm there personally. it's whether or not the party commits itself to that type of engagement with the public and the fact that it hasn't and it clearly won't at this point i think is a good thing. i think that there is a broadening to come. i think there is still a maturity of the party politically after what has gone through over the last 10 or so years of, you know, seeing big government republicanism and all this other stuff that's confused the space. >> the old scenario going back to richard nixons is right a little right after you get the nomination. but that has become so extreme, you get pulled so far to the right that you can't see the center by the time you get the nomination. and that's become self defeating for the republicans. and in a way, republicans are sort of up in arms at huntsman in the favor candidate of the democra

we need to know the government's i plans.lear a rt should risebout above politie mr. president, as i have said repeatedly this is unacceptable. i want to be clear about two things. first congress will have to look into this matter very carefully and investigate whether treasury and the major financialn t regulators have been deliberately withholdingresent information from congress, and t if so, from what purposes. f second, assuming that on the road treasury will present congress with another default t date, i want to put them onosito notice this will be demanding at and timely treasury assessment and the government's a cash position. i will stand and wait any debt limit increased demand by anlosg unsubstantiated treasury determined that line. mr. president, in closing i wanr to be clear. i cannot support the outcome ofo iati opposition is not going to the failure of conservatives or the republican leadership in thesidy house and senate treated as to what is clearly amounting to the field presidency of president obama. to he and his allies archaeologically committed t

and i don't think there's a polity here. a few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to host the chairman chancellor in nairobi. and a gentleman in the audience did ask but with this new relationship that is beginning to emerge where china is coming in so forcefully, do you think it's going to harm your respondent was very interesting. he said, i think we should move away from the fear of trying to choose friends for africa. let africa have an opportunity to decide who can be their friends, others who will be providing to what needs to be there in the past. but the issue is, can this friendship be meaningful or not? so i think this friendship and this latitude must be led to function. thank you. >> thank you, prime minister. [applause] >> let me return now to rebeca and donald. i think three fundamental issues have arisen. one is about the governance issue that really -- governance is what defines development. good governance in particular. and that, you know, in terms of the economic or the development model maybe sometimes we

polities some names. japan, $500,000 he gave. sussman, great britain, five and a thousand dollars.nce, $800,000. belgium, $775,000. switzerland, $745,000. on and on, 24 of obama's nominees bundles over $11 million. the heart -- the number is hard to come out with because there is no full disclosure and just ranges of bids, the minimum ranges at 11 million. and that does not include money to the inaugural committee, the leadership's pac, for the dnc. both sides to it, and i do not mean to pick on just the president. he is the worst. but both sides to it. his 30-70 ratio is 57% political. selling important jobs like the third world nation. it is not right, it is not healthy, it is not good for america. the tyranny of the big check, the lobbyist and fund-raiser. i know and i was a congressman, although i did not take pac money, i accepted a meeting with a lobbyist to representative you buy. knowledge of an industry is critical. it is a valid job to be a lobbyist, but not when all you do is bring in check. i think are registered lobbyist s should not be allowed to lobby and fun race. t

i wondered how to get our fellow college students interested in politi politics? >> first it's the first paycheck, i tell young people, i talk to high school classes and some have had a summer job, and i called it the paycheck tab, you get this and what you earn and this area across the check is where government rips you off. and as my job in congress and in the state house and senoney on, we are to have a national defense and some things that we use tax dollars for. and the premise of limited government is expanded liberty. we need to keep that in mind. and typically for most people when they get that first paycheck and see how much government takes. and every stinking tax pay, and water and on and on and that's when you see. i went, as i said i went to college, i mean my major was wrestling but you are supposed to get a degree. and i wound up getting one in economics. and i can't remember the professor's name, and my sophomore year i am to declare a major. and i walk in and this professor in a big lecture hall, macro economics 301, and he tells us he's a christi
