law state than a common law state. and congress didn't want to have an artificial incentive for states to move from common law to community property -- it wanted to treat citizens the same way no matter what state they were in. so it said, we will give a uniform federal deduction based on marriage, and i think what that shows is that when the federal government gets involved in the issue of marriage, it has a particularly acute interest in uniform treatment of people across state lines. so ms. windsor wants to point to the unfairness of the differential treatment of treating two new york married couples differently, and of course for purposes of new york law that's exactly the right focus, but for purposes of federal law it's much more rational for congress to -- to say, and certainly a rational available choice, for congress to say, we want to treat the same-sex couple in new york the same way as the committed same-sex couple in oklahoma and treat them the same. or even more to the point for purposes -- >> but that's

democratic state representative stated at 10:26 p.m.aid the public didn't know, i didn't even know. the committee did approve the motorcycle/abortion bill in a party line vote 10/5. it has to go to the full house. will governor pat mccrory veto this wolf in sheeps clothing of a bill that looks like a motorcycle bill but is really the anti-abortion bill. will they figure out a way to address his concerns but still jam new abortion restrictions through in we still do not know, but in north carolina, a state where it looked like a forgone conclusion, that republicans would be able to rush through his stealth attack abortion ban, they would shut down access to the clinics in most of the state. things have at least slowed down for the time being. they are still moving and still uncertain. north carolina is proving to be a weird one. with our "name your price" tool, people pick a price and we help them find a policy that works for them. huh? also... we've been working on something very special. [ minions gasp, chuckle ] ohhh! ohhh! one day th

they are military states. and garretson states. and they succum or they will have to go into the shelter of a much larger power. that is happened in the case of states south yemen at one point a rogue states. that is libya. a rogue state. so was cuba. they are weak and succum to others and we will have to deal with them. and this the long-term. as the rogue states will disappear. and others will surface. some such as cuba and libya. they surface and replace them that part of the ongoing pattern of history. and there was always a small military state that caused, the rest of the world a lot of problems. >> thomas henriksen the author, america the rogue states. american foreign policy in the 21st center echt book tv is on location at stanford university. 4

states. and the legal and political system is such that your skin is skewered in such a way that those who are rich and powerful essentially walk free they have no culpability for any of their. deeds while the poor get locked up so the united states has the largest per capita prison population in the world and yet the worst criminals walk free so in those areas it does indeed resemble a third world country. detroit just declared bankruptcy what does that tell you about what's going on in the us economy right now. i think it's important that you you cannot disaggregate take the us out of the question i think overall the planet all you have to do is look at a population growth map a chart that shows population growth and you can see quite obviously where the world is headed i think the united states is in of relatively good position right now historically the us is is an archetype it's an archetype of renewal whether that's deserved or not currently it will remain that way it will continue to g

the house is a political party it's not a state it's a political party it's not a state yet it's not to say the end of the if you're not going to trial and i think you are nuts omar khayyam gentlemen are they are they are not tack on bringing a child there or not here are for you and with omar first thing i'll go to fred omar all hum. how mosse was not in power until two thousand and six so the peace process failed long before today it is in the ninety's when israel only had the palestinian authority to negotiate with israel still refused to end the occupation so pretending hamas is the problem is obviously completely false and just misleading on the issue of the negotiations themselves and only ended by the way you telling me how it's to go back to history now you going back to history let's talk about today many of the palestinians under the authority of hamas hamas doesn't remember recognize the state of israel so you aren't presenting this our idea the palestinians recognize israel which is your story yeah but how that has advice by the way that hamas has not been invited to the

they do that if they don't have a state fred i mean really but they can they have the they have a state in the making they have leadership they can make whatever agreements they want to now the point that or the one thing they are just like to state about international law or this international law which governs israel israel's tried to tries to what here has all my rever heard of the the tomb conference following the one nine hundred sixty seven war all the arab the arab league including palestinian representatives made it clear to the israel's no negotiations nothing no peace no negotiations it was all in no no no so one might understand why the israelis weren't willing to give it back now as to israel being threatened annoyed someone by the name of god. nasr the former president of egypt very very friendly with the soviet union which existed at that time he made it clear we sending a hundred fifty thousand troops into sinai to liberate palestine ok so if you've got one hundred fifty thousand troops on your border it might make sense to return our gentle adventures and i'd like to sta

leave the state. so be careful when he testified before congress when they say it is a great success when the evidence and everyone across the board had really condemned what has happened it is like night and day. brought new conditions exist with consumer protections and providers if they back out and we will be penalized and the medical loss ratios could be part of it. these are some innovations that can happen with that important federal state partnership. but you have to -- you really have to do your homework on what is actually a

on the other hand, if the state loses, the state can appeal. so this is a one-way ratchet as it favors the state, and allows governors and other constitutional officers in different states to thwart the initiative process. >> that's the -- that's the way the california supreme court saw it with respect to california law. the governor and the attorney general of california are elected to act in the best interests of the state of california. they made a professional judgment given their obligations as officers of the state of california. the california supreme court has said that proponents -- and by the way, only four of the five are here. dr. tam withdrew from the case because of some -- many things he said during the election campaign. >> well, mr. olson, is it your position that the only people who could defend a ballot, a law that's adopted in california through the ballot initiative are the attorney general and the governor, so that if the attorney general and the governor don't like the ballot initiative, it will go undefended? is that you

let's proceed state-by-state. state-by-state. that's what we normally do as a plot. now i don't know how satisfactory that answer is. i want to know what your with whether he's right. a he's right, that there is rrationality to that if treating state a which is not worse than massachusetts or right?ing, so if that's true, do we respond is this a ate, and matter we should consider, not as applied but on its face. to hear what you think about that. responses justice pryor. the first focuses on the operation of the law and the consequences that flow from it. do not think that shelby county or alabama ought to be successful g a facial challenge against this that it ought s not to have covered arizona or alaska. bailout ute has mechanism. those jurisdictions can try to avail themselves of it. do, and it doesn't work, then they -- they may very as-applied n challenge that they can bring to the law. given t doesn't justify the structure of the law and a tailoring mechanism in it. understand the distinction between facial and as applied when you're talking formula. as applie

i the time you get to 1950 and the united states intervenes you are dealing with two separate states. i think the dimensions of it are quite different to that regard. host: here is john from massachusetts. the key for holding on.-- thank you for holding on. go ahead. guest: i was curious if you had seen oliver stone's "a history of the united states." korea was a japanese colonial basin. at the end of the second world war russell was probably going-- probably going to invade japan if china russia was the real power in the world. issues.es on those the koreans and chinese have a history of all kinds of war massacres it is -- all kind of massacres. it is a competition situation. wasn't the war a cold war extension? guest: that is a cold war extension. it also reflected, as i have been mentioning, these divisions in korean society. in a way the at mid -- the truman administration reacted to it, it reflects what is going on in the world and the origins of the cold war. in particular, one of the things the truman administration said and one of the ideas that was used as justification for s

i think you can make an argument that even though we've got nation states that you can make an argument that there is a conflict between two major parties that's broken out across the region i think you see entrenched elites that don't have much representation given over those they rule you have protesters who have been fired up usually by some abuse arbitrary abuse by police affecting their their meager economic life and breaking out in the revolution i think that if you if you define kind of a classical civil war assen ario where it's a couple of entrenched groups duking it out so that you could make an argument that there is a region wide civil war but obviously there are some pockets that have been able to resist that you usually by hauling out the checkbook ok that was one point of view when grant in washington charlie jump in in london well i think the argument can be made either way i don't quite see it yet at the point of civil war it's almost like in medical terms i think of a heart that's fibrillating it's not pumping effectively democracy or society is not operating effective

has been the united states' position again of funding this deep state propping up the army keeping the canal open for traffic all the while egyptians saying kind of their political views and ability to affect policy absolutely muted for what you just mentioned basically it's better to maintain this peace agreement with israel than to allow a messy developments or experiments and self rule from the you know the greater mass of egyptians and i think i don't think that's going to be for able to fly anymore it's been surprising to hear some of the arguments for oust ousting morsi as these charges of. you know allowing a little bit of tunnel based aid to flow into gaza strip and being in league with hamas as though that were never a big a big gyptian option or big egyptian problem is if anyone actually cared about that sort of thing so the idea of deferring in continually negating any sort of nationalist fervor in egypt and keeping the lid on these tens of millions of people in the name of preserving a peace deal that. you know that's been in place for so many decades i don't think that's g

and the united states.

when were you in the states and why? >> i was sent to the united states in 2002 to lead to be honest, at the time it sort of felt like one. i didn't know anything about the united states. i was based in brussels as a bbc correspondent and i got a call saying the one to go to america? and i thought well, i don't really know anything about america, don't know anything of its politics for a particular interest in the place. but i do know one thing and i know this from films it's quite sunni and we were sick of living in brussels. i don't know if you remember in the olden days milk came in bottles and they got clouded up in the capitol. so we thought that we would give it a go. on the basis we have frankly no knowledge and not a huge amount of interest. we decided to accept the offer of the job and i say this because my family had very young twins and we'd just been born in brussels. so we went off to the u.s. and others who had a pretty good time just after the attacks of 9/11 the next year. we thought we would give it a go

by state. but there is something in this opinion by everybody. and justice kennedy uses the word dignity ten times, but he says this is so important because it demeans the choice the states have made. so the other choice can say this is all about leaving it up to the states. not that there is a fundamental right, but that you have to defer to what the states want. >> and here is how it looks in the states, ralph reed, as we put up the map of where gay marriage is now legal. 13 states and the difficult of columbia where it is legal or will be soon. wide swathes of this country 37 states in fact where it is not legal. what happens now? >> well, i hate to throw cold water on the celebration on on the other side, but this court specifically and explicitly rejected what the plaintiffs argued in this case, can was there is a 14th amendment equal protection right to be married as gays and lesbians. the court reject that had argument. and even in the doma -- >> did they reject it or side step it? >> cl

they need to run for a state house, for governor, for state board, state superintendent. this body here, the federal government has nothing to do with core common standards, nor should we have a role in trying to prevent states from working together which symbolically this amendment does. i think it's great that my state and a number of others have taken advantage of economy and scale to prepare good standards, i think it's good that states outside of the working group of governors has come up with their own core standards for college and career ready that are different but also high standards. there's different ways to to get there and again, if any folks in this chamber feel passionately about that, they ought to run for a different office. it's not this body that decides on standards, i think it's the wrong reason to come here and try to force any particular standard down any state's throat. very clearly, i think it's great some states are working together, my state among them. it's important that we don't have a race to the bottom with regard to standard. -- standards

there are state based exchanges slides of 17 states. it's 16 state in the district of columbia. partnership between federal facilitated in states and seven and 27 that are using the federally facilitated exchanges. for rural america we're looking at characteristic how the market function in the new model. the govern then of those exchanges, support for enrollment activity. how it tran pyres in rural places. access to services and how we certify the qualified plan. shifting to the characteristic of the uninsured and another document in the packet that we released earlier this week. a larger portion of the rural population escaped specially the uninsured would be eligible for some of the expansions whether it's medicaid expansion, or the new subsidizes than in urban county. that's the general conclusion of both bullet. a larger portion of the rural uninsured are in-house holds that will become eligible for either the subsidizes or medicaid expansion. assuming for the moment over the next period of time medication expansion becomes striebl all of them. what we're doing to invest in

and actually face to face lobbying these this low hanging fruit state to state two quick questions. i'm curious your thoughts on the parent trigger law this apparently one of alex newest little creations and secondly i'm curious your take on the news in the wake of the george zimmerman verdict. well the take on the news was what i expected it is that yes if you look at the way the case was presented the prosecution did a i think a horrible job first of all second of all they they it order to get a conviction with this law that we have in florida it was almost impossible i mean because if you review read the jury instruction the jury instruction time is a matter of fact i have right here it says if george zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked then he has the right to stand his ground to defend himself or a some third party will that's the last thing the jury heard unfortunately the prosecution never built they knew it was coming it's a standard your instruction the state of florida they never built their attack around that they built it around race they t

federal standards, state certification process, states under rcra, the states do this anyway. this is what the states do. under the municipal solid waste disposal act, the states are the ones who are enforcing this. all we're doing is saying we can do this now for fly ash and coal ash. so while my colleague's amendment is well intentioned, it really undercuts the purpose of the legislation and unnecessary because the bill contains specific criteria by which the e.p.a. will judge state permit programs. and i listed those earlier. this is political appealing amendment, but it has many flaws, not the least of which is any state can request that e.p.a. review another state's coal combustion residual permit program regardless of the location and whether there is actually a cross-border impact. as my colleague pointed out in the rules committee on tuesday, there's no requirement in this amendment that a state that requests a review needs to even be impacted by the contamination allegedly coming from another state. while my colleague has probably scoured the country to come up for an

actively working because the state has defunded all the prop 36 courts in efforts across the state. so i think this provides senator leno's bill really does the right thing and tries to move in a direction that's not contingent to how much money is available within one jurisdiction or not and actually frees up $64 million of general fund at the state level that could be reinvested into services. i know when you look at realignment, for example, here in san francisco, a 1/3 of our plan, a third of our dollars for realignment has been invested in substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment and housing but we've made that choice. i think if you compare us, though, to many other jurisdictions, we have a collaborative court continuum that is unmatched in other parts of the state. so i think to say they wood, it's not happening. and if you look at other jurisdictions throughout the state, you'll find heavy incarceration rates and not used. in fact the prosecutor is not using those programs. we're very fortunate in our district attorney. he is very visionary, and i just commend him

and if you look at the state of the united states today i would put a big question mark into its longerm survivability in that aspect. it might be fighting for its survival at this point and that would explain a lot of what's happening ok that's a very interesting question but unfortunately we have to end it there thank you very much quiet time we've joined if we can't paint i'm here. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. oh. i. protests a rage in egypt reports of at least seven people dead and scores injured as supporters and opponents of the president clash amid furious calls for morsi to step down. european states are outraged at the u.s. placing a key trade pact in jeopardy after the latest leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower snowden. america has been bugging tapping and monitoring you offices . meanwhile snowden is still stranded in a moscow airport with ecuador pointing at r

together happily with the united states but china has a scene which says to takers. live. that's you know china right now it's a couple little cup of course they won't fight the united states fight for that mud to budge eventually they will become a big tiger. it will be too small for the the pacific ocean will be too small for them ok linney you pointed out i mean the united states is a militant want to add something lynn go ahead jump in. yes yeah i just want to say what we have exacerbated this problem also is a chinese growth growth in china economic growth the last few years the insane growth that they've been joined to is unsustainable. globally countries everywhere in trouble in that it and unemployment is up living standards down so the expectation for the future will be disappointed so many countries will be disappointed. about their future prospects so that will intensify this scramble for the remaining resources so just to survive and just to placate they populations we will see more conflicts and the not just between china and usa ok dan it sounds like of

the state contends it is n notlelnot le legally proper to request it. >> ask the state to produce theit illegal to follow somebody. >> you're asking him to prove a negative, basically. >> no -- >> my question is show me a florida statute that says this is the law in the state of florida. you're asking me to put in here is not unlawful activity, under florida law. you can argue that to the jury in the closing argument. >> judge, detective serino said so, in his testimony. any law enforcement officer -- >> as far as i know, i don't think that he drafted any of the legislation. >> mr. mantei didn't say it was illegal to follow someone. he can't cite you. criminal statutes are pretty precise, designed to put people on notice what's legal and isn't. if it's illegal to follow somebody, tell the police where they're going there better be a law against it, otherwise you can't say it's illegal to do that. >> you're repeating your argument. i've heard the argument from both sides, i am not giving that instruction. >> we submit that's an intrical part of our theory of the defense and it's error

it remains an american state. it did not secede, which is actually news that was not a foregone conclusion a couple years ago. back in 2009, as a fight over health reform was raging from the halls of congress to the town halls in michele bachmann's district, the government of texas got tenth amendmenty and threatened to secede from health care, end from the united states, itself. very patriotic. texas would be gone. they'd get no more highway money. there would be no more shared national defense. it would just be texas on its own. the land where nobody messes with the fact that poor people can't afford health insurance. that was almost four years ago exactly. >> the opposition to reforming health care isn't the most cogent thing in the world thus far. the gop health care solutions group in congress, you will recall, admitted this week they think it's best if they don't actually offer any health care solutions. they'd rather just keep saying no to whatever it is the democrats are offering no matter what it is. but

states for surveillance.the usage of drones calls into -- the dea. usage i want to hear from mr. comey about what he thinks the proper limit of the usage of drugs should be. will he delay their usage -- drones should be. will he delay their usage? we are painfully aware of the -- of thes limitations that were placed on fbi agents prior to 9/11. called wall so- between law enforcement and the fbi. concerns expressed in recent years threaten to rebuild those walls. information sharing of cybersecurity information could create a separation. hear your input on those matters. i would also discuss the nuts and bolts of matters involving nominees. congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight. given the wide distraction that -- discretion at the fbi has, congress needs to have the information relative to our oversight request. finally, i want to discuss general management issues. disposition that has a double standard for management and agents. these need to be managed before other problems. there is a lot

so the state believes the motion should be denied. i will close by saying that even if the court felt compelled to grant at this stage a motion as to second degree murder, there remains the necessarily lesser included offense of manslaughter as to which there is no requirement of showing ill will or anything like that and therefore the state believes that even if, and we're not saying you should because i think i've made the point, but even if at a minimum, we'd proceed forward on that, your honor. >> i just want to make sure my rendition of the jenkins facts are properly presented to the court. i did not suggest that trayvon martin said he was a gang member, did not say he suggested he had a glock, did not say he suggested he was going to cap mr. jenkins. and actually, these facts are more serious than what that victim did in the jenkins case because in this case we do have some undeniable evidence of what mr. trayvon martin did. servazo, he hit him one time and threatened a bunch. in this case we know the facts are so much more seri

in the surveillance state. and are in fact profiting off the spine about and i will remember after nine eleven the war on terror kicked in the military industrial complex stepped in and said you know we're going to go ahead fill full of these contracts so the corporations are doing acting out their natural desires they're going out and getting these contracts that the government is handing them so i think we were what was happening was that we were just looking for the new twenty first century conflict and that just happened to come along the act of terrorism gave them the right to do what they were already doing understand dick cheney was writing the patriot act ten years before it happened joe biden as well were pending those kinds of civil liberties violations ten years before those events happened so i mean there's always the steady growth of government and people libertarians always say that as government grows liberty recedes so i think what have what has to happen is that we need to have a culture of sel

chinese dream is their party state dream and their party state only curse about their own interests there are mentally expanding power they don't put. the world first put their only interest first so that will cause lots of clashes and those so i think if you look at what happened in the past what's the it's what china is doing now to mystically and internationally you can see they would do more harm than good in the future and they're still bullying big people who are doing their labors. and. disputes and they still occupied tibet and things like that i think china. destabilized that world cause lots of turmoil in the future ok when it sounds like we just heard of yet a reflection of the of the units go to when firstly you know the united states is preeminent it doesn't want to give up power it sounds like what china wants. first off every country looks out for its own interests or not china aggression or you know every want every country must look out for its own self interest so let's look at africa united states have troops in thirty five countries over there but china is africa's big

host: those are states -- that areose are states mostly republican states that are rejecting the whole idea. some other states were worried that they would not be able to do this. it is a big undertaking. they said, let's see if the federal government will do it. and we can take it over later. if you like the way we are doing it, you can take it over later. host: we are taking your calls. if you have questions about how these exchanges will work, about the federal health care law, cap rovner- we have julie here. if you are outside the u.s. -- -- thisut penalties issue of penalties for those who do not sign up for health care plans by the time that this program kicks in. anotherhis has been source of great misinterpretation could the penalties are actually fairly small. this has been a source of discomfort for the insurance industry, because they signed up on saying that there would be no more -- they could no longer turn people down for having pre- existing conditions, or they cannot charge people more for having pre-existing conditions, which meant that sick people could sign up. and

what about the ten days for the united states state department and the white house that make up their mind on on what kind of policies they're going to do for the in egypt finally they said that on against islamic does that hurt and in support of course of action which is that military would have the main say. of egypt. coming over or you can the military bring democracy to egypt can military bring democracy to the middle east. well it's theoretically possible someplace that some time that that. it happened but certainly that's not very likely in egypt and you can put me down as a a skeptic with regard to the rhetoric of democracy and the arab spring with regard to u.s. and western policy the problem that i see is that that has really been a cover for the the exertion of u.s. policy the interests of u.s. policy in egypt and elsewhere in the region and of the case of egypt this is nowhere better illustrated than the the term that i've been hearing in washington the last few days coups volution the idea that you know the the effort to portray what happened in the egyptian military takeo

you're working with many, many -- i mean, probably all of the states or many of the states.you've talked in the past, i haven't seen you for a while, but i know you've talked in the past about the difference between what the politicians are saying and what's actually happening on the ground. has that gap widened this the states that are quite resistant, or it may vary. there are states that are doing federal exchanges that are still working on planned certification, they're not technically partnership, but there's de facto partnership. so what do you say when you land -- see when you land somewhere or on the phone with someone as opposed to what we're hearing at that big building over there? >> let sphe start with the old adage which is if you've seen one state, you've seen one state. there's a lot of variation. but that having been said, i think i can talk about groups of states in groupings. there are the states that have embraced reform, the state-based exchanges, and they are working hard, and they are going to be ready for opening in october. the directors, and we work

more hatred towards the united states government if not the united states people then anything else that takes place and i think what we need to really be talking about is that and not sort of these sort of well if they come get us how do we go get them you know eye for an eye tooth for a tooth the real question is how do we create sort of a system in this world that's based on humanity based on you know sort of mutual aid if you will move to a support and not one based on through these reciprocal acts of violence which is what i think these hypotheticals when they're posed in the u.s. media and pose like shows like twenty four you know would you kill a baby if you knew there was going to be a terrorist attack next week or something like you know it never happens that way but you know people pose these questions it's sort of put us in a sense of fear and make us answer in a way that i think is always the most warlike. and let's talk about foreign policy in general right now we're hearing a lot of strong rhetoric coming from the political media establishment about iran syria and most rece
