salam, that they are now different worlds. i don't believe that we- i know the old structure of racism is gone, but there are still individuals who live- think the way they think and live the way they live, and have their opinions. and we still get together with each other, and we live differently, and we are different, and that's what many of us perhaps don't want to admit- we are different. we're humanly the same in human identity, but when it comes to our sensitivities, our emotions, etc., we have the sensitivities and the emotions and the mentality and thinking of our people more than any other people, and that's for every people- for every people. so we are different, and we do kind of live in different worlds. and as far as the perception of reality, i think african-americans and most people in modern civilization have a long ways to go before they perceive reality in the right way that will permit them to have the kind of brotherhood that we all hope for in these great religions of christianity, judaism, islam, etc. bef

i'm not allowed my name is salam bubble but people call me brother salami and. try have a small business where you know if we are daily wage earners. but i have no savings here what pay whatever does get saved is spent on medicine. her condition used to be much better. she used to go to the market go for walks and play around with. she used to laugh and have fun there were no problems. with it some time later on we noticed that she couldn't sit up on her own or turnover of your kind about media but here. slowly she started looking to press. when we would talk to her she would not reply . so we brought her to the doctor the doctor said she's been like this since birth and there might be some treatment for her. on today we are at a point where we wanted to do a lot but we can't do much. for the people the disaster has been an ending because people continue to be a little more than hundred thousand people skin crawl equally and there's initially crappy thousand people who have been forced to drink contaminated water for the last fifteen sixteen years when you see t

[laughter] i know you will not be able to let the my jokes about the secret service, mr. president. cover your ears, if that is physically possible. [laughter] i have a lot of jokes about the secret service. i told them for $800 i would not tell them but they only offered me $30. [laughter] i am happy to see congress is taking this very seriously. they flew down to colombia to investigate this personally. [laughter] i know the administration has been cracking down, but this -- if this had happened on clinton's watch, those agents would have been disciplined with a very serious high fives. a announcement, if anyone has tickets to the gsa after party, the plane is leaving at midnight on the dot. do not

reihan salam is here.el, the head speech writer under president clinton, who didn't inhale. >> did not inhale. >> well, so, i mean -- i'm sorry. sometimes things come straight from my brain to my mouth. but we are talking about real money here. why not start -- we have obviously 16 states that have legalized medical marijuana. so why not? >> you know, it's a really interesting question. i think there's no question that with demographic changes that the country is evolving in this direction. and a lot of people are concerned about the social costs of having a big liquor company or tobacco company pushing a new narcotic. so there are massive social costs to the war on drugs as it's been fought especially when it comes to racial issues. in new york city, an african-american man is seven times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white man the same age even though public health authorities will tell us the rate of marijuana use is higher among whites. it is -- there's a cost in prisons, i

joining me now to talk about the road ahead, paul begala, john avlon, reihan salam. timing-wise we know he was in and out of the hospital with his daughter, bella. also you have the primary coming up in his home state. was this move just to save a little face? >> i think there is a lot to it. i think this was an exhausting campaign for him and took him away from his family. on top of that he had a very, very big mountain to climb in terms of winning pennsylvania. i think those things taken together make it a very sensible decision for rick santorum and his family. >> both family and political. >> absolutely. >> john avlon, we know that santorum, he called romney before his announcement and also learned that romney has asked for the face to face meeting and santorum said yes to that. once it happens, looking in the tea leaves what will happen afterwards? smelling an endorsement potentially? >> almost definitely at some point. but it was striking that rick santorum found time to mention the sweater vest which was the symbol of his campaign, but not to mention mitt romn

i mean -- all right, john avlon is here and reihan salam is here. good to see all of you.n, this is a case of sort of like oh, no, no, no, no, no. yes. >> you just turned them all into mary pickford or something. look, the secret is never as popular as the sought and all these folks know that. if you're lobbying for vp, you're not going to get the gig. all those people that were put up there -- >> this is like they're playing hard to get? >> pretty much, yes. high school rules still apply, even at presidential level politics. it's sad but true. look, all those folks will be on the short list, you know. i think chris christie and bobby jindal, but we're going to spend a lot of time playing this parlor game. it has less to do with the substantive debate of the presidency but it's an important first decision. >> don't knock the parlor game, john. i love it. >> chris christie was an adamant no and now seems to be sort of a no but yes. >> also i've got to say i know john doesn't agree with me on this, but if you say christie versus rubio to me, i think it's a no-brainer that ch

their state, they can build on it under the outstanding leadership of the palestinian prime minister, salam fayyad. they have demonstrated that they can do it at laying the foundation and building the institutions needed for a viable and independent state. unfortunately, that state-building effort cannot be sustained in the absence of progress on the political side. they are inextricably linked so there must be progress on both, or both will fail. it's a daunting challenge to rebuild trust not only between the political leaders but also between two peoples, two societies, with a long and bitter history of conflict. but they must find a way to renew hope and see that peace can prevail, because it's very much in both of their self-interest and we must do all we can to help them. well, before i take your questions or want to close with a personal story. as i mentioned earlier, and as ralph mentioned in the introduction, before i entered the senate, i had the privilege of serving as a federal judge. i enjoyed it very much, especially when i presided over what are called nationalization ceremoni
