roland and will. i'd stay out of texas if i were ben bernanke.k perry's fellow gop hopeful, rick santorum, who's said a few inflammatory things at times, joined president obama and others in calling the comments irresponsible. your thoughts or is that just how you folks in texas talk? >> it is how we talk. i've been saying this for months. we're going through a monetary contraction and we should print money. that being said, there is an intelligent opinion that is the opposite of me that thinks we shouldn't print money. >> for instance, ron paul, who has written five books on the issue. >> rick perry attempted to here, but didn't have an intelligent conversation. he is putting an issue out front. i think listeners should understand. that's the role of the fed and begin to understand that monetary policy effects our monetary policy really affects our economic environment. certainly, rick perry didn't do that in an artful way, but it's something we should be talking about. >> i know for once, roland is not going to say something bad about a republi

races doing it this way. >> what do you think, roland?razy for anybody to pay five bucks for a cup of coffee. >> but lots of people do. >> and i think they're absolutely nuts. look, i get the sentiment, but i think the problem is that we don't have enough people who are regular, ordinary people, who are investing in what is happening. in terms of what is going on. so, i get this whole deal about saying, don't give money until they actually get back to work. no, i think we need to have people who are organizing, mobilizing, marching on washington, who are showing up in congressional offices. not cutting a check is not going to solve it. >> you say you get the sentiment. i do, too. >> you get it, but -- >> we are, obviously, because we're on tv. but if you don't feel empowered by the gridlock in washington, what, roland, do you think most people should do. >> it is sensible because it is amazing people say, marching, that's old school. look what happened in egypt and other places. but also, again, marching is one thing. mobilizing and organ

roland?rst of all, both sides frankly have stacked the deck in terms of the kind of people they want on there. the fundamental problem that we have right now in washington, d.c., is that both parties essentially, especially the gop, are devoid of moderate voices, and also the elder statesmen who know how to bring cultures together. and so they will take their side, and say, i will stake my ground, and that's the problem. you don't have the moderate, strong voices, as -- >> desperately trying not to look like a mod rat. >> all right. we sort of got the last thought there. he froze right in the middle of it. that's probably -- >> it doesn't matter. >> will and peter are like, okay, that's perfect. >> kyra, you do get buzzed when your signal on skype drops. listen, i think will made a good point here about why we're calling them super. we have to stop calling them super. that implies somehow, that they're heroic. they're super villains. does anybody want to imagine any congressional leadership i

nash part down of capital to talk about this hello good to see you roland so all the dot columns on the horizon. there are clouds on the horizon i think are very right actually last week it was all a very chaotic period of time last week things are a little bit clearer the moment markets have stabilized they priced in a great deal of uncertainty last week and where we're hopeful if things stabilize now and valuations will again become important but you know it's another typical in russia a lot of. well some say that the one thousand nine hundred default was due to wrong economic policy but is the current one safe enough you think. the ninety nine zero eight crisis makes what we're seeing is that i would look like a walk in the park i mean ninety nine zero eight the equity market lost ninety three percent of its value last week the russian market lost about fifteen percent of its value but it was nothing compared to the ninety nine zero russia has moved on a lot for a day you know russia or russia now it performs along saw it a lot of the other emerging markets a lot of alongside a l

roland?ind of answer was that, will? everybody in the room except dick cheney didn't raise their hands. dick cheney's philosophy was bomb away. he continued to go out and assert there were wmds in iraq. it is not shock that he wanted to do this. thank god other people were in the room with common sense. >> your answer is he is darth vader? >> you have to be curtis lemae. you have to be on top of those attacks. i don't think there is no one in the world that is glad that they don't have nuclear weapons. thanks to the israelis for following through. >> perry is in the clear lead of gop contenders followed by romney. is there a potential candidate who could vault into the lead by entering the race? roland? >> you could jump in. john could jump in. will could jump in at the top of the poll. my philosophy of this is anybody who is speculating to get it, shut up and make a decision. i don't get all of the pining for the perfect candidate. it doesn't matter who is sitting at the top of a poll. fred

erick erickson, roland martin, mimi swartz. good to have you all on the program. thank you so much. >>> reality it's a lot more complicated and the relationship is kind of fascinating. take a look. reportedly, there's been bad blood all around. jim acosta has the "raw politics" tonight. >> amen. >> amen. >> amen. >> reporter: for rick perry, it's a question keeps coming up, not whether he's running for president, but whether he's running from a certain president named george w. bush. >> i called him on his birthday. >> reporter: this week, perry told "time" magazine there's no bad blood with the man he replaced as governor from texas. >> not from my perspective and not between george w. bush and i. >> reporter: go to youtube and you'll find a different story. four years ago speaking on behalf of rudy giuliani's failed campaign in 2008, perry slammed his predecessor. george bush was never a fiscal conservative, never was. wasn't when he was in texas. >> if washington won't protect our border, texas will. >> in his run for re-election in '06, perry blasted washingto

roland. >> first of all, he's had more people leave his campaign.confidence in his campaign. look, if you're running for president, you never entertainment any conversation as it relates to trying to be somebody else's vp. first of all, one reason he answered that way, as a republican, he served as ambassador to china under president obama, but again you say, no, i'm running for president. she can serve with me. >> i don't think i heard the same thing. i don't think i heard him say he will be a vice president candidate or would accept a candidacy under bachmann. i think he was being very magnanimous and would serve the country -- if that was presented to him, i would be curious, but i don't think huntsman is insecure in his bid. pierce, it's michelle, know me-shell. >> come on, he mass a sophisticated speech. >> the problem with some spin is what puts politicians on defense. he was talking about service, and i think he deserves credit to talk about this common-sense conversation he wants to have and stop the b.s. he was talking about service, not st

>> most of the ones we identified so far are juveniles, so they're under 18 years of age. >> roland,end up in juvie court, and some if they have a record may have a harsher penalty and most will be told to go away and be fined, i am in the ballpark? >> absolutely. >> can you haul the parents into juvenile court? >> the parents do have to respond to juvenile court, so there is an opportunity for the judge to intervene there if there's some action he thinks that can help the family. >> john, every parent in germantown needs to confront this. this could affect your child getting into college and on down the road, so they might see it as a one-time deal but it could have lifelong ramifications if they allow it to continue. >> what's your sense? you see this technological explosion and it helps you in a case like this because they're surveillance cameras everywhere and so on the one hand, technology is your friend. and the idea that people can start text messaging and it domino effects and the kids think it's cool somehow to get involved with this gang, how do you as a guy who is, you kno

roland i want to begin with you.gitimate or are economists yelling the sky is falling? what's going on? >> no. americans have been sitting here acting like we somehow are separate from everybody else. if anybody was paying attention to what's happening in greece, italy, what's happening in spain, germany, the world economy is totally linked and so we've been acting like the politicians saying oh, forget anyone else, we're sort of on our own. we're not. we've always been affected by what has happened globally. it's exacerbated over the financial system over the past decade. >> nigel, you're a chief economist at ihs global insight. you know a thing or two about this. you ask ten people opinions on whether we're headed for a recession, we might hear ten different answers. what's your best guess? >> well, i think we are on very thin ice here. we place recession odds at 40%. u.s. economy even before we hit the latest problems, the latest market volatility. was showing almost no growth. barely above zero during the first h

roland burke, bbc news. >> when we think of the gold rush, we think of the american west, but in the 19th century, there was another gold rush. now prospectors are looking for new fortunes. deep in the australian bush, a great divide that separates this continent. it is not the sky that has this glorious golden glove. it was the site of a 19th century gold rush. prospectors of come to hunt for their fortunes, nugget by nugget. old-fashioned techniques have given way to newfangled technology. metal detectors are tools of the trade. she gave up her job in the construction industry to prospect full time and to teach novices have to do said. >> there's a past. and there is one from that when. >> the price of gold at the moment -- it is understandable why so many people are coming in from the city and the bush to go prospecting. >> yes, it can be alive changing event. -- a life-changing event. it will pay the mortgage. >> in the back breaking work, even in the favorite haunts of local prospectors peony -- local prospectors. the staff and what started as a hobby has become a lucrative side

that's the right way to go. >> roland, i have to ask you the same question.paid fed ex more than a billion dollars last year to deliver packages. i mean, is it a good idea to privatize this group? >> first of all, remember, when you talk about privatization and the private company, what you also have are companies making decisions to basically cut certain people off. one of the issues that you have to deal with and that is what did you do about rural america. not everybody lives in big cities. so typically what companies would do, they will say hey, forget certain people, we're only going to go after the high dollar routes, if you will. i certainly believe you must have serious changes with the postal service because you can't be carrying 300,000 employees, you can't be lose the amount of money and operating as if you don't have the internet. you have the internet today, you have a different cost structure. but i'm not going to jump and say, oh, fed ex will do it. they may say we don't want it. >> yeah. that's a good question. this may be a losing business. i

cnn political analyst roland martin joins me on the phone.g to some of the organizers. was it basically just kind of a safety issue? we're obviously not getting him. we want to get the latest on the path of hurricane irene. meteorologist chad myers, hopefully, is standing by live for us in atlanta. chad, are you there? >> yeah, anderson, i'm here. i'm walking over to try to get over here. we had some options here for what i want to show you. how much water could actually come into the manhattan area, with a category 2 hurricane. i don't know that we're going to get it up to category 2. if it's an 85 to 95-mile-per-hour storm, there is inundays that will happen as the water pulls itself into new york harbor. >> chad, let me jump in here. if it hits land as a cat 3 south of new york, you're saying it might lessen to a cat -- below a cat 2 by the time it actually hit new york city? >> correct. it would run all the way over new jersey. now, look, we're talking 50 miles one way or the other. that's 30, 35, 40 hours away. if this is over new jersey

. >> nato military spokesperson colonel roland lavoie commented from naples that the alliance is now focusing on the mediterranean coast around the libyan -- central libyan city of sirte, the last bastion of gadhafi supporters. brussels nato spokesperson oana lungescu said nato will continue its air strikes as long as they are needed. >> the nato mission is important, it's effective and it's still necessary in order to protect civilians. as long as threats remain, there's still a job to be done. >> lavoie referred to the libyan national transitional council's demand for pro-gadhafi forces to surrender by saturday, saying nato sees this as an encouraging sign and will watch this situation closely. >>> united nations secretary general ban ki-moon says he plans to send u.n. personnel to libya to help nation building efforts. >> the people of libya are looking to the international community for help. the transitional government will be outlining specific requests in the coming days. >> the secretary general announced the plan to the u.n. security council on tuesday. ban said current tren

i think i have on the phone with me roland martin.been an incredibly difficult decision to make, such a special day. it was supposed to coincide with the "i have a dream speech" on the mall. >> it was a very tough decision. i talked to harry johnson just yesterday, and the plan was to move forward. they actually were going to make the final decision about tomorrow afternoon. but it was clear that with the hurricane irene going from a category 1 to a 2, to a 3, that they had to make this call. literally, candy, folks are already planning to fly in, people are getting on buses. so they had to keep them safe. that's why this call was made. yeah very, very tough, after all the hard work that went into this weekend. >> well, you know, hopefully there will be some pretty weekends in september and ost and one of them will shine on the dedication of this memorial. i know you were to be the emcee for this occasion. i think there must be some personal disappointment for you. >> absolutely. look, there were 15 of us that started this. it really

>> roland has answered that question to some extent already. this is for the libyan people to decide the fate of those who have been indicted for crimes against humanity and other serious crimes by the international criminal court. what is important is that the transition in libya is to add space that is democratic -- to a space that is democratic, that respects human rights, the rule of law, that is based on reconciliation and not violence or retribution. but obviously, the rule of law is important and must be respected. we welcome the statement made in the last few days by the leadership of the national transitional council. i think those statements are very clear, and the roadmap that they have already presented to the contact group is also very clear and very welcome. we have one last fall up, over there -- one last follow-up, over there. >> when you say no nato boots on the ground -- another formula, a boots onnato members' the ground, under their own command? >> i think i said no nato boots on the ground, but national decisions are nation

last five days have now become the most volatile trading week since september two thousand and eight roland nash from verna capital says that under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might happen on a day to day basis but the outlook is particularly poor. i think at the moment trying to work out what's happening on a daily basis is virtually impossible it's it's trading on fear is trading on government decisions i mean markets are very poor traditionally trying to work out what a government is likely to be able to do so you know trying to work out whether today is going to be a two or three percentage points or a five percent decline and that's that's that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to make for any kind of. longer term investor volumes are actually pretty high at the moment when you see a lot of volatility and high volumes that often tells you the direction in which the market is moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that there was a raise in lower volumes at a time when the market is coming down sharply i think what we

greater than five percent there trying though has been down that sentiment fearful bordering on panic roland last from vern the tappets also stop under such circumstances it's impossible to predict what might happen on the page at all basis but the outlook as particularly poor i think at the moment trying to work out what's happening on a daily basis is virtually impossible it's it's trading on fear is trading on government decisions i mean it's a very poor traditionally trying to work out what the government is likely to be able to do so you know trying to work out whether today is going to be a two or three percentage points right five percent decline that's that's that's an extremely difficult judgment call to be able to make for any kind of. buckets of investor volumes are actually pretty high at the moment when you see a lot of volatility and high volumes that often tells you the direction which the market is moving is likely to continue so that's that's actually pretty bad news that it was so you would see lower volumes at a time when the market is coming down sharply i think what we'r

reports here when that tornado hit, we haven't been able to shake the story of that little boy on roland avenue. we went back to that home -- this is where the tub was right here. his mother told us back then of her 9-year-old boy, knowing to put his bike helmet on before jumping into the tub. the tornado ripped the toilet from the floor, hitting the boy in the head. but he had that helmet on, and we found it. is there any question in your mind that the helmet saved your son? >> i know the helmet saved my son. >> reporter: is this augie? three months later, we finally meet that boy with the helmet. now headed to fourth grade. you had that helmet on? >> i couldn't believe it was on my head. >> reporter: couldn't believe it, right? i couldn't believe it. fourth grade, right? into his school and the class lists on the wall, we find his name. and inside his new classroom, he suddenly spots someone. his best friend at the door. he hadn't seen him since the tornado. an extraordinary feat to get all those children back to school today. authorities here told me t ts day was on the calendar long

the fed would not be cranking up the points in prices for three well joining me now for reaction is roland that chief investment strategist for the capital hello to you thank you so much for joining us now can you tell us what's your take on bernanke this speech . i think is actually a pretty clever speech he failed to disappoint both the pessimists and the optimists and given that. given that the world's financial markets are really been focusing on this speech now for most of this week to get it just about right and i would not leave markets moving very rapidly in one direction on the other is probably the balance you want to get actually but do you think that print some more money would help. it would certainly help in the short term it would help commodities it would help risk assets but i think mr bernanke is really looking forward to the to the longer term as well thinking about the longer term as well and by reacting very rapidly to what's been happening in financial markets in the last few weeks it may look like panic and therefore it although it would help in the short term i'm no

democracy for all them accredit venues are spreading all over the world some countries adopt them roland perry and others simply imposed by the outside forces the public opinion agency led by dissent i ask russians what democracy means to them but in that percent as a comic prosperity thirteen percent is freedom of speech order and stability thirty seven percent many regard democracy lawfulness and direct elections so the latest tunisia. so-called democracy doesn't really promote or its own interests but to point. right jeff and i to go to you one of the things that happened when one of the reasons why ben ali was such a big friend of the americans in the west in general and any and we can look at what's going on in egypt and other countries in the region is because they are stanch allies on the war against terror ok and that's always top of mind here and in the the nonsense that spewed out about here's karen that's terribly you know just terrifying public from western media and it does it all of the time and there these people are you know they may not be you know thomas jeffersons but
