that democracy is no longer well cared for in the nation state. can no longer solve problems, protect democracy as it once did. the mantra of the nation state is independent, sovereign independence, independent jurisdiction, national borders, territory, and the frontier and the warsome states have been about frontier, borders, and brown drinks. the trouble is in the 21st century, it actually happened almost 100 years ago in world war i and world war ii, we live increasingly in a -- if you loot weapons of mass destruction every one of those threats pays little heed to boundaries. every one of those threats is a cross-border challenge. every one of those threats represents a new interdependent. to take one example, al qaeda, one of the reasons al qaeda still lives despite the fact that the leadership is lick dated and drones are taking out the leaders along with a lot of other people who respect the leaders. nonetheless, the leadership is being lick with a dated. one of the reasons al qaeda survives it's what i call on the -- it belongs to no state.

can not afford jail which are people of color and come from disadvantaged communities and the nationals in the state are affirmed in a city like san francisco. we should not rest on our laurls in san francisco and realize that based on the demography that what exist inside our jail system continues with the management that we do want to consider some alternatives in the penal code those opportunities are providing for the county governments and county board of supervisors that empowers our local criminal justice partners to do just that. >> let me ask you, does the sheriff have the power to release an inmate despite the fact that a judge has set bail and they are unable to pay? >> we do. we have that through electronic monitoring or some other supervised facility. it has not been well applied. >> is that the only instance that you are given that power in? electronic monitoring? >> through some kind of work if furlough or alternative situation. >> keep in mind, the county has been fairly light and i think both incarceration and those not in incarcerated because of credit time served they are doing a

especially for the national party and for state parties. it is not a priority. and the organizations that have started that are out there to do recruitment for the parties have really started at the state level. the republicans started doing this back in the 1980's with the lugar excellence in public service series, which was created in indiana in 1989. there are programs like that now in about a dozen states across the country. the democrats started doing this called emerge america. it started in 2002 and they have this in about a dozen states as well. these are programs external to the parties. they are focused on recruiting women for their parties, but they are external to the party organization. so what i think is interesting, in 2010 the republicans talked a lot about how they needed to get on the ball and start redruting -- recruiting women candidates. they recruited kathy mcmorris, the head of the national republican committee, to get out there and recruit candidates which is something republicans had never done before at the national level. a lot of repub

the united states of america. those ties began only 11 minutes after israeli independents, when the united states was the first nation to recognize the state of israel. as president truman said in explaining his decision to recognize israel, i believe it has a glorious future before us not just as another sovereign nation but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization. and since then we have built a friendship that advances our shared interests. together we share a commitment to security for our citizens, and the stability of the middle east and north africa. together we share a focus on advancing economic growth around the globe and strengthening the middle class within our own countries. together we share a stake in the success of democracy. but the source of our friendship extends beyond mere interests, just as it has transcended political parties and individual leaders. america is a nation of immigrants. america is strengthened by diversity. america is enriched by faith. we are governed not simply by men and women but by laws. we're fueled by entrepreneurship and innovation and we are defined by a d

the next level up is cyber espionage, mainly by the nation state of china stealing intellectual property, in other words the blueprints that allow to you build your proed and have a job, they go in, steal it, repurpose it and use it to artificially compete in the world market. that costs us real jobs and lastly the highest level is the military or cyber attack meaning they could shut down a financial institution, our electric grid, and cause significant damage and harm to our economy. >> and this was the head of sort of our top spy guy saying this is the number one threat so my guess is he's not talking about criminal activity getting your credit card. he's talking about terrorists, and yet we hear we're maybe two years away from the capability and that's what we were told. >> we're not two years at all. we're having attacks as we speak right now. >> by terrorists? >> by nation states. >> we certainly know that china is, or we believe china to be behind some of this industrial spying but i'm talking about the last thing that he said about, and we know that terrorists are looking to do th

that is why -- [applause] the united states it was the very first nation to recognize the state of israel 65 years ago. that is why the star of david and the stars and stripes flying together today. that is why i am confident in declaring that our alliance is forever. thank you very much.

the california national guard as mentioned is the largest in the nation under 54 states and territories. we're the largest by far. and we have a broad spectrum of capabilities that range from on the low end manpower where we can deploy troops for either security missions or firefighting hand crew missions all the way up to the high end where we have a wing, we also have space station systems we can employ and support civil authorities at the direction of the governor. we're the experienced national guard force. we do some sort of civil support emergency response system every three days in california. we support the governor, mainly law enforcement and the fire services here in the state. we tend to do more emergency missions every year than any of the 53 states and territories combined. so, we have quite a bit of experience. with that experience has come a wealth of relationship building that's key to success and any disaster response is being able to work with the inter agency. we're in a unique position because in addition to my federal responsibilities for commanding both the army an

the community, of whether or not to establish the state of israel. my father would say, were he a jew, he would never, never entrust the security of his people to any individual nation, no matter how good and how noble it was, like the united states. everybody knows it's real but i want you to know one thing -- with some of you -- i have met with a lot of you over the last 40 years, but the last four years as well, president obama shares my commitment. we both know that israel faces new threats, new pressures, and uncertainty. the defense minister and i have discussed it often. in the area of national security, the threats to israel's existence continue, but they have changed as the world and the region have changed over the last decade. the arab spring, at once full of both hope and uncertainty, has required israel and the united states to reassess old and settled relationships. iran's dangerous nuclear weapons program and its continued support of terrorist organizations like hezbollah and hamas not only endanger israel but endanger the world.

in hand as allies and friends and as fundamentally committed to israel's security and to the united states national security. >> general yadlin, manchin you were involved in two activities. you were head of military intelligence and involved with the israeli operation dealing with the syrian nuclear reactor in 2007. based on those two experiences and now what the west will be dealing with with a possible third nine-proliferation operation, what can the u.s. and israel do together? you heard from senators hurricane and gillibrand. how to use see it day to day? >> we all share the same data and the same intelligence. we are on the same pace. we are also on the same page with the strategic goal to prevent iran from being nuclear. between the floor and the ceiling of the problem, there are those places where we are not in the same place. we should be closer on how to prevent iran from being nuclear. 2012 passed with giving more time for negotiation, for sanctions, for reaching an agreement for diplomacy. the time is running out in 2013. there are things that makes it different on iran when it comes to

the u.s. had voted in favor of palestinian state and we should encourage and applaud when the palestinians move towards going through the united nations after all that's how the state of israel was created was through the united nations so we should pursue diplomacy everywhere and you know the problem is anybody who sticks to the status quo. you know is not in favor of a good life for israelis and palestinians the only way that israelis can prosper is if palestinians prosper and i can't imagine what it's like to be a child in israel worrying about missiles coming over or being a child in gaza worrying about bombs coming over you so the situation stands now is not one not a good one and our comedy show is a way to bring people together bring up this issue and do it in a way where people don't yell at each other and storm out of the room which is what usually happens when the subject of the middle east comes up well obama who opposes things to say about the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas he said was a true partner i do think that news is going to go down in israel. well i think i'm going to be. the best partner israelis can hope for a

creating a significant international controversy that was point of contention between the united states and the united nations over access to bradley manning and i thought that this dynamic was actually undercutting the credibility of where the otherwise important prosecution bradley manning stands accused of of damaging united states national interest by. providing to wiki leaks hundreds of thousands of documents many of them classified or sensitive regarding two ongoing wars and the foreign policy the united states that literally touched almost every relationship united states has with other countries around the world and the process you put not only u.s. interests at risk but put the real lives of real people who talk to u.s. diplomats at risk before we get into what you just said i wanted to ask was there pressure from the administration for your resignation or did you just decide to resign i resigned on my own volition why. well i just felt that in the in the aftermath with the controversy it created undercut my ability to continue to operate in my position to state ok and you just said you supported bra

the palestinian state in the wake of a u.n. vote last yeah it is the meeting this is mahmoud abbas his first visit to moscow since last november the united nations general assembly voted to offer a the status of palestine to that of a nonmember observer state the move of sensually recognized palestine's right for statehood and has widely been considered as part of the basis for a permanent peace settlement and of course this is going to be one of the major issues to be discussed between the palestinian and russian leader this is coming ahead of the forthcoming visit by president obama to palestine and there's also the bag drop of a notable coolness inhalations between washington and tel aviv of course president obama has brought you from new fresh faces into his new administration during his second term and some of these faces have been notably if not just empty israel then definitely not quite as friendly as the previous administrations have been for example john kerry on his first trip abroad in his capacity as secretary of state has not paid a visit to israel that was noted by many and of course there's also chuck hagel who has openly spoken

the nation. it has the worst credit rating in the nation. in january the state to cancel $500 billion bond deal. to hear the sec is suing or accusing the state of fraud? look, i think a lot of investors out there think illinois should be junk. melissa: i think there are two major things i guess, i want your opinion, that could happen as a result. number one, it has got to be even harder for them to borrow money going forward. obviously this was the result of them lying about their finances so that they could borrow money. you would think the next time they grow to borrow money, people wouldn't believe a word they said. like you said, their status should really be junk. i wonder is thereany liability, financial liability they have though to the people that bought bonds under false pretenses? can they sue? >> as you mentioned the state did not admit a wrongdoing but don't be surprised if investors sue. if investors had been presented the proper information, they could have easily gotten higher interest rate or frarpgly a lot of them woun't invested at all. so the
