it's actually happening in the states and state capitals. and it turns out that effort in the states looks a lot like the fake astroturf, koch-funded rallies about the stimulus bill or union rights or about whether or not global warming's a real thing. hundreds of volunteers in green t-shirts turned out for a commission hearing, bussed in by the americans for prosperity organizers who provided them with subway sandwiches for lunch. "this has been one of the trench warfare efforts for a year now and i think it's one of those hidden stories of the whole fight against obama care, said the president of americans for prosperity. it's not flashy, it's just in a whole bunch of state capitals and in the districts of a whole lot of state legislators, but it is important in rolling back obama care." trench warfare in a bunch of state capitals. the specific capital in that report was richmond, virginia, where the republican-controlled state government is still considering whether to use federal money to offer health insurance to thousands of people who

states there's less than a national order so the united states has a responsibility and has a role to play internationally well a lot of people would say we've got a rodney is that the united states makes the world unstable in its unilateral actions around the world just the opposite. well we're only about two weeks ago from the american attempt to set off a third world war fortunately there was a bit of backbone coming from russia could i go into the mystic situation leaves are going to say go ahead that. the two unemployment is twenty three percent that's john williams shadows that's and it's double that for young people there's fifteen million people on earth food stamps the real incomes of middle classes are gone backwards for twenty five years and we are told that america is the exemplar of the free market it isn't it's not a sort of it's a fascist society the government has bought to bill you are dumbed down bullets which are exploding bullets to fire at its own people and i am big being told by david that america is an exemplar to the world it is now moving straight into fascis

national debt state debt city debt that the united states has built up in the process not to mention the cost in lives both of american lives and as a. veteran of the u.s. armed forces myself i can attest to the feelings of the rank and file among the military and that but also in those injured and in the lives of those that this messianic idea inflicts on other countries david mark used to work virtue is the american have a virtuous foreign policy is that what makes it exceptional i think. i think america i think america pursues its interest and advances its principle it doesn't try to make the world over in its image but it does need to be true to principles that many believe are not american but are universal i'd like to just go back to a couple points one domestic one international in a point where the united states is about seven is about seven percent it's not twenty three percent it's still too high and there's a lot of criticism on both sides of the aisle that it's a it's a fact and what's nonsense is you calling the united states of america a fascist that's insulting interna

general in the state.r being was in the governor's race, the lieutenant governor's race in virginia, your colleagues are way out ahead in those races, your race is closer. why do you think that is? >> well, i think that a lot of attention has been placed on the gubernatorial races, we have had to start a scientific gift scandal, the federal shutdown, so i think it's taking a little bit longer to focus on the attorney general's race. but i they's a good thing, because once voters start sewing the differences and start taking a look at my record and my vision for the record, compare that to senator obenshane's record. voters are going to reject that extreme tea party agenda, they're tired of having that kind of approach in the attorney general's office. ken cuccinelli has used the platform to launch it logical crew said, the lgbt rights, voting rights, and obenshane would be a continuation of that. now that attention is being focused on it, you're seeing a lot more interest in race. >> you're seeing ken cucc

the democratic state senator. they have a higher opinion of the republican than of their own candidate. that says something. >> how do you see the race finishing? chris christie wins and it's a blow out. is there anything that could close this state in new jersey. >> i don't think so. chris christie was about to car carpet bomb the state. he has painted christie as a liberal. i don't see it likely being a blow out. i see it getting a third of the democratic votes. he is running against d ct dc cd washington, d.c. he is taking advantage of the new cycle and he looks to be coasting to victory. >> coastalling to victory and setting up a race in 2016. thank you. we appreciate it. that is it from the team here in washington, d.c. and from me david shuster for now. you can keep the discussion going by logging onto the facebook page. you can send us your thoughts on twitter i'm david schuster, thanks for watching. justice. >> >>> over 50 years ago in the early days of the vet no, ma'am war, american forces began using a

to prevent all of that from happening i mean when i say you the united states what can the united states do to prevent all of that i think the sad answer is that the united states doesn't have the power of that it once said it doesn't have the leverage that it once had and so it. tries to work through allies through international organizations and occasionally on its own and deal with the court of public opinion the the best america can but there there isn't a lot in the toolbox right now they're not many tools there well thank you for this recognition i think this is a very bold statement and a very on a statement on your part now i have to admit also that russia and the soviet union . i'm no strangers to grand geo political ambitions and you know trying to make the world a better place and one lesson that learned there well is that when you fight wars abroad you may lose in a domestic front as a former ambassador to saudi arabia i would like to ask you what are the chances in your view of saudi citizens rising out and demanding more of a say not only in the way that country is run but

only 32 states have early voting and other states have no method at all. you have to have an excuse authorized by the state. we're not talking about the fundamental right to vote. we're talking about convenience voting. 32 states have come up with different more convenient ways of voting but what's interesting is the studies actually show the more convenience options you give voters the less likely they are to turn out to vote. the states with fewer early voting options actually have higher voting percentages. so we're not talking about keeping people from voting. the case law says as long as you can cast your vote one way or the other that is not a burden to you, then you don't have a case. >> jade says that reservations have enough oppression and outside racism to last for years. we shouldn't make them pay to be heard. and marginalized population isn't being marginalized. and rick says there's no racial diversity in montana other than nonwhites, might not even be citizens. tom i'm going to go to you is this playing a role here or is it racially neutral?

these words coming out of riyadh is that bluster i mean the united states and saudi arabia are attached at the hip and they have been for for decades it's just words coming out of riyadh well i don't think i have any particular insight into what what king abdullah is thinking and obviously he's kind of the supreme decision maker it's not the words are not just coming out of out of riyadh itself they're they're coming out of washington because prince turki just gave a very fiery speech and defiant speech. at a conference here a couple of days ago. i think there are two schools of thought one school of thought here believes that it is mainly bluster that. saudi arabia is so closely entangled particularly on the military and security front with the united states that it really can't sue for divorce but there are others who believe that saudi arabia is really quite serious and that it's looking for other foreign partners great powers including for example russia itself to wean itself away from washington over the long term and that there is a strategic decision is either about to be made or

state although claim they. it is and it's also not a democracy because half of the population of the knowledge of population are counted so it's neither a jewish nor a democracy really so we can just kind of keep the conversation going unfortunately the flip side there is a lot of anti-semitism online and you tube i mean it's unfortunately it's infected a lot of legitimate question about the israeli government and i don't know why that's so prevalent let's move on now while we're on the subject of racism i just saw this recent article that really irked me about the mayor of nazareth as you said a large population is arab in israel nazareth is eighteen percent arab the mayor of the town has said things like this is a jewish city now and forever i'd rather cut off my right arm and build an arab school and ninety five percent of jewish mayors think the same thing they're just afraid to say it out loud and when i hear things like this it's really startling do you think that that sentiment is really the problem amon

we see the state exchanges focusing on their individual states. we see the federal exchanges working on the non-state exchanges and some of the partnerships. we see some of the providers that are going to go into those individual states and reinforce their message is a good provider of insurance and then also the groups that are for or against people signing up for the affordable care act. i will start with the first. like i said the state exchange, the federal exchange issue those are the four buckets that i will focus on. i don't need to go into detail. you probably know the first to pretty well. you know the issue group i would put in their they are not necessarily an issue group but they are supporting the exchange for some of the other groups coming all that were involved. the 527 or whatever you want to call them. they were involved in the 2012 election in the various states like virginia and ohio against the ruling and we are working on a commercial standpoint and various places around the place. hospitals, companies like walgreen's or cvs

at some point they have to come to that realization. >> the irony is in the state, the states rejecting it, they could own it as an issue, the federalism they dream of, entirely a state matter. they are the ones introducing the federal government into it. after the break, as wacko bird ted cruz flies off to iowa, the republican empire strikes back. we'll discuss the latest chapter in the gop "star wars" next on "now."

of israel a state that has thousands of political prisoners a state that denies palestinian children water because they're palestinians and a state that on a regular basis as a policy kills palestinian civilians so supporting that is ok and opposing that is that the semitic how does even that begin to make sense so i think the way you come back as you continue the conversation you kind of take it to the next level you talk about that because anti-semitism means you are racist if you oppose that you're a racist and you support that and that's ok that somehow you're supporting jews i mean it makes no sense and i think besides that the state of israel is not really a jewish state because half the population are jewish so it's not really a jewish state although they claim it is and it's also not a democracy because half of the population of the knowledge of population are counted so it's neither a jewish nor a democracy really so again just going. keep the conversation going unfortunately the flip side there is a lot of anti-semitism online and you tube i mean it's unfortunately it's inf

other states. however, unless the uniform military cold -- uniform code of military justice or other federal nexus is clearly present, all this is up to the state legislatures to make these determinations as they see fit for their citizens. without a federal nexus, such laws are up to the individual states. the idea that states are less intelligent or less able to discern their citizens' needs is a mistake of federal proportions. only a congress that has the spending of over 150 percent more than it brings in would have the nerve to tell state governments that balance their budget every year that the state does not know how to properly govern their people. with only a few exceptions, most states are doing quite well with legislating in the arab criminal law without our interference. it's only the federal government that has an estimated 5,000 or so criminal laws that have overcriminallized this country. hopefully, when i'm hear again for a hearing, we can fervently work toward eliminating or correc

and the united states needs to get back to defending let's get an example here is going to linger on and try to green the world grant if the united states is going to grant let me ask you a question grant let me answer the question so the united states obama won because of pressure from the saudis from the israelis they're going to attack iran do you think he's going to ask the american people always a good idea to attack iran you know that's never going to happen the reason why you went to the american people in syria because he painted himself into a corner you have to thank mr putin for this not the american people sorry. well he did paint himself into a corner i know something a maverick way was to marry i i you know he had a resident whenever there's been triggering events whether it's the gulf of tonkin whether it's pearl harbor you know all of the groups that are lobbying for non intervention tend to disappear after a catalyzing event takes place and the region at this point is just absolutely on a hair trigger for that sort of thing to happen you know look at it if you really

solution recognition of a jewish state. >> that's it, a jewish state. you got it. let's see that they get it. and even if they do that, given the level of incitement, state control media we don't have that by the way. and their textbooks and so on. i don't know that this top down recognition of the jewish state will stick. so we have to have real robust security arrangement to protect the peace and protect israel in case the peace fails. if we have those two things, recognition of the jewish state and a ream addressing of israel's security needs. >> rose: you can't make the case that settle ments which you have continued in your government are central for the security of the jewish state. the argument is made do damage to the security of a jewish state because they stand that way of some very successful agreement and two state solution but it's in the interest of the security of the jewish state. >> i think the settlement is going to be in the negotiation. >> rose: they are. most people want to ask is why is it necessary. because it's not done -- >> let

i am not an alley of the united states, of the government of the united states. but there are countries that are allies that are procapitalist, proimperialist, and that's their right under the constitution, this is a freedom of thought, but have them spy on their own allies or spy on their businessmen. but the business in brazil, that's intolerable. you cannot accept that. and that's why it was a general protest in the world with these types of espionage. >> i want the ask 24 question now, and then get your response to it. the button on this section of our conversation for me, is this. the u.s. is your country second leading trading partner. shouldn't the two before working to improve relationships. i will guest your thoughts after the break. this is talk all al tomorrow night, fault lines investigates wage practices in the restaurant industry. >> the employers have the upper hand out here. they can steal from you and face very little if any consequences. >> basically this industry is saying, "we don't have to pay these workers at all. they should work for us but

states like ohio. a reminder for progress i was who may be in a panic watching the glitchy, which is to say dreadful rollout. obama care's problems don't discredit liberalism. believe it or not, the existence of great websites is sort of incidental to the operation of a social interest system. joining me howard fineman, anchor of bbc world news america katty kay and "washington post" columnist jonathan capehart and nbc news analyst former pennsylvania governor and governor of "now," ed rendell. i go to you first. what's the best play for the white house. they should own this. another saying daily briefings on the state of this. should they wrap their arms around the quote, unquote, glitches? >> yeah, i think the president did that when he said it's unacceptable. everyone needs to take a deep breath. apple screwed up the rollout of its new program. take a deep breath, social security, medicare, they all had glitches at the start. the good news for anybody panicking, it's a year to congressional election

moocher states. and if statehood was health care, mississippi and missouri would be rejected as having that as a preexisting condition. so you may be thinking to yourself, so what do these uninsured people do for health care. well, republicans actually had that covered in the last presidential election. not sure how that worked out. >> well, we do provide care for people without don't have insurance. people, if someone has a heart attack, they don't sit in their apartment and die. we pick them up in a ambulance and take them to the hospital and give them care. >> jon: historical footnote is right. you can always go to the emergency room. you can always go to the emergency room when you're having a heart attackment and apparently they think that's the fiscally responsible option rather than expandsing medicaid, because unlike obamacare, we all know er visits are free! just one little problem. >> when the uninsured end up here in the er, their costs are passed on to paying customers. that means insuran

share of the state. spending on medicaid and concerns about fragmentation and service delivery system not being optimally constructive, that is a place where we have a large differences in approaches being taken across the country and i think there will be a real interest at the state level in understanding the implications of those different choices and learning from what other states have done so with that i will turn it over to tom. >> thank you very much, pleasure to be here. i usually like to break late developing news. my understanding is there are questions about inconsistent definitions of native americans in exemptions for the individual mandate. the obama administration about to come forward with a new definition that says native americans to not include nfl players on the team in the washington metropolitan area. i am going to stick to the original speaker outline, issued spotting. first question requests us to highlight the biggest issues on january 1st and before health policy, health indust

i've like to just check who with the with hillary this question of a secular state that secular state that people talk of probably as having existed under the regime of the controls in the secular state in accordance with battery doctrine were exercised largely by in a clique of the alawite community where no political dissension was permitted no factions were allowed to arise during half of the last it's time they were doing the show years so there was the feeling among the sunni's among the or. less among the christians because they did feel more protected no question of ancient two rivalries and suspicions and resentment of alawite domination and. made it somewhat less of a secular state in the american sense of secular well hillary i think i saw you nodding you agree but i mean what's the alternative i mean you know you're focusing on in the beginning the program you're talking about institutional reform that may address some of those issues but often but obviously the alternative of this civil war is not an option it shouldn't be at least. no but i agree with investor murphy i do

on the initiative of the united states was a mistake but of the living but the united states also went to war aggressively if the rock and they didn't how the development of that to that had very little to do it very little to do with the o.p.c. w. and it had a little beast everybody has a very strong motivation it did it did and we in the united states the bush administration at that point alleged that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction which he did not and many of his spoke out myself included publicly saying there are not weapons of mass destruction they were all destroyed in the ninety one gulf war he did have weapons of mass destruction in the one nine hundred eighty s. and they were destroyed in ninety one and then all further destroyed and sealed up by the united nations inspection commissions back in the one nine hundred ninety s. but your question of whether the o.p.'s is capable of doing this destruction absolutely first of all it's not the opi study that does the destruction it's the responsibility of the state parties so it's the responsibility of syria but syri

now she is a student here at georgia state and i am appreciative to them. there may be other persons here. i met one lady who bought a copy of the first edition of "bus ride to justice" and it was in 1995 and she had it and i had autographed it and we are glad she is here and i put a note on it and said she has to get a current edition because a lot of things have happened since 1995. the nine old men inside were not waiting for me as i walked up the steps of the united states supreme court on a warm may morning in 1959, but i was waiting for them. i and those i represented had been waiting for several centuries. those are the beginning words of chapter one of "bus ride to justice". i expressed the feelings that i had as i was going to argue my first case in the united states supreme court even though i had other cases and had won other cases in that court without oral argument. that was in the case where at one time the city limits of tuskegee, alabama, where 85% of the population is african-american, had difficulty in getting registered to vote and when w

against state here will we see these states pitted against each other because we see that each state has a competing interest in the state of georgia as we saw in my story there drinking water is a huge that's where they get a lot of their drinking water and with that land of the population they're booming the demand for water is also booming in alabama we see that the river is a big source of revenue for industry for business power generation fishing agriculture all of these industries depend on this river and in the state of florida that's where it's kind of heating up right now because in the northern part of florida there where the river kind of empties off is a huge fishing industry particularly oysters and the fishermen there depend on the oysters for their livelihood and the oysters are unique in that they need this delicate balance of fresh water and salt water and able to thrive and now they're saying that they're not getting the fresh water that they need because atlanta is slipping up all that water so they're in their view it's affecting their industry which is a very ver

to the universe that it wouldn't go she with the united states because the united states is the crying power it does not want kabul does not want the afghan government involved of course karzai understandably wants this to be a quote unquote afghan led process and that's that's a divide that has not been bridged yet and quite frankly if that's not divided if that's not bridge then you know you have to link this to the to the future of the u.s. military in afghanistan because car as i said that unless there is a peace process led by the afghan government he's not going to negotiate a security agreement to allow the u.s. to stay there after twenty fourteen so this is something that people around here in washington don't and in my view don't really make that link enough because there's a pretty good chance that we may not have much of a presence military presence in the country by the end of next year ok lynn maybe after twelve years that's not a bad thing to happen. well the war on terrorism has been incoherent from the start you know it's now being. presented as a war against islamic fu

you stated earlier to mr. har better, you give the president regular updates and the president said he knew nothing about the status and functionality of the marketplace. how often and what were the subject of those updates? >> i think there were a series of regular meetings with the president with some of our federal partners with offices of the white house from the omb to others on a monthly basis, giving reports on policy and where we were going, none of those i would say involve detailed operational discussions. that wasn't the level. it was are we coming together? do we have companies and plans. >> i understand that. obviously when it comes to the president of the united states, certain level of details you have to see kind of 10,000, 20,000 foot overview. in terms of functionality, he was legitimately caught off guard on -- >> i assured him and -- that we were ready to go. everyone knew with the big plan that there were likely to be problems. no one anticipated this level of problems. >> just a quick que

it's an emotional issue for any state, especially a developed state. for a state like afghanistan which is emerging into sovereignty which is a conflict-ridden state seeking to become a postconflict society, it is even more emotional. and so there are some issues that are third rail issues for president karzai politically, and he has elected now that secretary kerry has recently been there and has advanced the game a bit to, president karzai has elected to lateral the hard decision making on this to jirga. it is a traditional afghan approach where the elite within the society -- when i say elite, that doesn't mean the top echelons, it means the representative elements within the afghan society will come together, will break into committees. they'll consider the question that president karzai will put to the loyal jirga which is about conditions for the bilateral security agreement, they will recommend back to him whether afghanistan should go with it or not. now, who knows what the outcome of this will be. my guess is that as the afghans have seen real

two years ago in the state of ohio, the citizens in every county of the state, in all the eight counties, passed the ohio health care freedom amendment saying they did not want national health care. they did not want obama care in ohio. i was elected by those citizens. >> but representative, with due respect, there is substance here. look. >> my constitution is not processed. my oath to the constitution i take very seriously. and my constituents take it seriously. >> but you oppose the policy, too. >> well, it is bad policy. it's true. >> so explain that to me. 275,000 people going from the uncertainty and terror and psychic and physical -- no, it's not funny. people don't have health insurance. >> i drove from columbus to cleveland today. i didn't see anyone being terrorized by the lack of health insurance or health care for that matter. >> you really think people aren't terrorized by a lack of health insurance? >> the fact is you're talking about putting hundreds of thousands of people onto a failing health care system. those people will be locked into that system indefinitely. if they
