i was going to add to rachel's comments. at the moment we have u.n. arms embargoes which tend to be treated as that's the baseline in terms of what's considered illegitimate if you're authorizing a transfer to an entity that's subject to u.n. security council sanctions, then already you've got a baseline there. as rachel said, there are other cases which i think many of us consider sort of on anointed grounds illegitimate. we hope the att will enable a building up by the states parties by other things agreed upon as being sort of unacceptable. >> and just to add to that, while we all recognize kind of the value of the u.n. arms embargoes many national laws do not reflect the il legality of violating a u.n. arms embargo. so you may be violating the embargo but may not be violating any national law where you're actually operating. there's a little bit of a disconnect. that speaks to the need for clear global controls that each state can say, a checklist. i have in that and the other thing. that's a perfect example where i think it's even italy maybe, th

because in this country rachel anything about them in paris or we just heard from hammad. well i think there are some valid criticisms of islam that it ought to be able to exist on their own without the whole fanaticism aspect and i think that's what we're losing here we're kind of mixing everything together and combining fanaticism with criticism of islamic fundamentalism with policies by politicians like nicolas sarkozy who. the full face burka in france and also some immigration policies that are expounded by the the far right national front movement in france and parties like them and their legitimate party with you know in france there are increasing in popularity they made the final round of the french presidential election when. father was faced off against jacques chirac and nobody was expecting that so i think although we're not seeing those kind of opinions expressed in the mainstream media particularly here in paris a little bit more and countries like the united states because there is that idea that freedom of speech isn't harmful and that people except for th

here is larry a girlfriend time where time i read by the rachel go ahead. and isn't that exactly what we're trying to do with breivik right now is to paint all the right wing people who have moderate points of view about immigration and cultural integration with the same brush saying that this kind of rhetoric is responsible for his actions you're saying exactly the same thing about extreme. islamic fundamentalists and how they tar everybody on our of the muslim religion without russia and you're objecting to that yet you seem to think that is ok what is there is where on the radio are comments like i do ok well let's let's look at what is the headscarf got to do with extremism what is a i mean a lot of need got to do with extremists what is money minarets got to do with extremism so let's be honest what the debate or we'll have a new world is a vibe i mean symbols that exist within the muslim community if you want to debate and if you want to take on the extremist the terrorism i don't know about you is that in a little community let's bring it on i'm luke

our own msnbc's rachel maddow. also congressman cathy mcmorris-rodgers. this is a wider conversation about how to win the women's vote. what women will care about. the kind of conversation ultimately that they're having as they evaluate this campaign. where are we after hilary's remarks and the debate that ensued? >> well, hilary apologized. i think we've all made statements that we later regret. the reason that it caused such a controversy, though, is that it exposed that the war on women is really a myth. that it has been created by the democrats in an effort to distract americans once again from the real issues. democrats know that the republicans won the women's vote in 2010. it was the first time since reagan that the republicans won the women's vote. and it resulted in the republicans taking the majority in the house. 87 new freshmen. a record number of new women, republican women elected to the house. and it has -- could be argued that it was the american women that really voted out, fired, the first woman speaker of the house because they didn't l

also joining us rachel maddow host of msnbc "rachel maddow show" and host of "drift." we'll be talking about that shortly. the last time paul ryan released a budget proposal, this was receipt action -- >> we have to low of spending but if it's -- there's nothing wrong with tacking the top. >> we do tax the top. the future comes from entitlement programs. >> hey. >> what is this entitlement program? i paid into it for 50 years, my unemployment, my social security and medicare. >> ryan's latest budget blueprint provoked the sharpest attack from the president to date. we're awaiting a live speech from president obama. rachel, you have talked, and we have talked, and many people on the channel talked about social security being a ponzi scheme, which is an accusation lobbed around by the gop and the more further-right elements of the republican party. what strikes me about the prereleased remarks we have from the president is the sharpness of his tone and the fact that we've seen sort of a wind-up to this in the last few months, he's taken a fight stance. what do you make o

i don't know if rachel knows this, but our nominee, this fellow is named mitt romney.ly running for president. you're talking about legislatures in iowa. >> i'm talking about what the republican party stands for. >> if republicans have declared war on women, we're losing half of republicans are women. some of us have even married them. it's manufacturing a crisis. but here's the political question for obama. when manipulating people becomes so obvious, you lose your political credibility. the obama campaign, when people see the magician's hands, and this is such an obvious attempt to divide the country along every conceivable issue in access except the economy where he can't debate. we're seeing a debate rich versus poor, right? men versus women. employer versus employee. they're trying to divide the country everywhere because they can't -- >> i'm going to get -- >> we end up talking about iowa legislatures instead of the economy. >> let me get in here. i want to get one more word from hilary. then i'm going to take a break. >> let's go back to where mitt romney is her

we will then turn to rachel. rachel stahl, who's a fellow here at the stimson center. a fellow of the managing across boundaries program. and we've asked rachel to look a little bit at the future and particularly look at prospects and possible impact of the arms trade treaty. rachel has been an expert in this field for a long number of years on both sides of the atlantic. at chatham house, the british, the royal british institute of international affairs, she was also a senior analyst as center for defense information in washington, d.c. she's been a consultant for many organizations who have recognized her expertise in these issues including the small arms survey and the u.n. and then finally, but certainly not least we'll turn to bill who is the deputy director and senior coordinator for multilateral control of conventional weapons in the state department. he is -- participation in the u.n. register of conventional arms since 1995, and i think that is almost the beginning of the effort of the register. he has been the u.s. expert to u.n. groups of governmental expert

"the rachel maddow show" starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> thank you, ed. >>> for the third time since he ran for the nation's highest office, president obama has sat down for an interview with "rolling stone" magazine. now, these are always long, substantiative, totally on the record interviews. and in today's "rolling stone" interview with the president, which just came out, without ever saying the name "mitt romney," president obama made news by say saying this. he said, "i don't think that the republican party's nominee is going to be able to suddenly say, everything i've said for the last six months, i didn't mean. i'm assuming that he meant it. when you're running for president, people are paying attention to what you're saying." see the etch a sketch is implied there. president obama skewering mitt romney there for what has already started to happen on the republican side of this general election, which is that mr. romney is abandoning a lot of the hard right positions that he took to win the primary and he is

they started back with rachel carson with the silent spring.ou had the dude with the population bomb. i think paul ehrlich that predicted the dire circumstances. why are they predicting dire circumstances to scare to us acquiescing to more government control. that's the whole point. they benefited by the media. i call it hip welfare. because environmentis environmee hip. people are less likely to check the facts. they could say anything as long as it doesn't get in way of a good story to get a free pass. >> kimberly: sure. they need fear tactics, et cetera, to authorize funding for problems like solyndra and waste taxpayers' money on things that are not feasible. as we discussed before and solar and everything operating as ultimate highest potential, which it's not. we don't need to account for 16%. >> greg: we could harness the steam from bob's head. >> kimberly: he's doing a low moaning snoring every here. his eyes were shut. >> eric: i said i didn't write the 4-1/2-minute video. it's like the conservative manifesto. >> greg: said almost all

>> no, rachel, you're pretty much right down the middle.s me want to bang my head on my desk when i've watched what's not happened over the last couple of years. it has been very frustrating. >> congress specifically has not done anything in terms of safety regulations since the bp disaster, in terms of following the law and drilling legally, things have not gotten better at all? >> that's precisely correct. in fact, it's worse than that. the house actually passed three bills this last year that luckily didn't go through the senate. but the bills that they passed actually reduced the amount of environmental review for new offshore leases, and they cloaked it in a mantle of jobs, new jobs. by eliminating the environmental review time for the new leases. >> in terms of what the oil companies have to offer, obviously, the regulatory process is supposed to be an adversary yal process, you expect that the companies will pursue whatever is best for their bottom line and then they are constrained by the governmentç telling them it wot be best for

parents rachel and tony are in their car with their three small children having just left rachel's parentsome. tony's in the passenger seat and rachel is behind the wheel. >> we had been driving for about 15 minutes and all of a sudden tony tells me, there's a snake head. >> i looked up out of the corner of my eye and i was like, it's a snake head and i looked back down and started studying, again, and i did a double take and thought, what in the world? >> i look over for a minute and he does a double take, too, and gets out his phone. >> being a daddy of now three, you just anything happens your phone is ready to start videoing. >> and we watch this snake come out from in front of him on the passenger side and start sliding across our windshield wipers and then over to my side. >> before they know it. a 4 1/2 foot rat snake turns their regular routine into a terrifying adventure. >> but i know nothing about snakes, so, i'm just thinking it's a poisonous snake and at that point i'm freaking out. >> the fisher's next scary thought is that it must have crawled up from the car's engine and wa
