that was the united states of america with me talking to the president of the united states making sure that did not happen. >> thank you. the next question is directed at senator heller. >> to different degrees, nevada has a sense of just how devastating it can be to the state if we had a species list as an endangered species. economists say it could shut down our economic development. realistically, what can you do in the senate to prevent that from happening? >> for someone who grew up here hunting and fishing, i have a little bit of experience with this. , the sage grouse. it is not just a big issue for the state of nevada. we are talking an impact it would have agriculture, mining. it would be huge. i have put together a working group. i brought people together from both sides. we talk about the specific issue, what we can do. let's realize what the problem is. we are poorly managing. we have too many fires. because of all this, we are literally running the habitat. -- ruining the habitat for the sage grouse. we will be discussing this in washington d.c. and discuss it every day wh

where's the evidence of the united states involvement in syria i mean obviously the united states would love to see assad fall but we're not entirely happy about what the consequences of that might be and that is a continuing conversation that is taking place in our state department at the moment the idea that the united states knows what it wants to achieve in syria is ridiculous will hurt if you want to see in all fairness he sure you want to hear in all fairness the secretary of state that says assad must go so the united states does have an interest in the fate of syria one way or another ok and what is the united that is another city in the middle that isn't really something everytime i want to ease please every time the united states says somebody has to go you know what they do eventually john in boston you want to jump in. yes yes i want to go back to a couple things first of all i want to go back to something herb said he said that the idea of isolationism is nothing new in american politics well it's true i said recently it's new it hasn't made its appearance here in abo

it's not an income problem from the state. it's a benefit problem, and so we got to change those benefits. >> and what's the reaction been to that? >> [laughs] well, depends on where you sit. i mean, i think the general public thinks, "i can't believe anybody gets a pension anymore. i've got a 401(k). it got killed in the stock market. i don't know what i'm gonna do for my retirement. i can't believe people get a pension anymore." so i think amongst the broad general public, they've said, "amen." and i think, among the public sector unions, they're yelling and screaming. >> and christie is yelling back. he provoked a very public fight with the teachers union, which is one of the most powerful political forces in the state of new jersey. >> and you're not compensating me for my education, and you're not compensating me for my experience. that's all. >> well, you know what? then you don't have to do it. >> it's a scene that is starting to play out all over the country. >> cuts, cuts, cuts, and more cuts. >> governors of cash-stra

in the most diverse state in the world's most averse democracy. the delegation will appreciate this as you walk the streets of san francisco at our best as it is across the state. people are living and a dancing together across every conceivable and imaginable difference. i have believed the world looks to us to say it is -- if it is possible to live together across every conceivable difference. we're proud of our home and place in history and proud of our example. but we also are humble in the context of the world we're living in. a world that is another connected but hyper-connected with a merger of i.t. and globalization. we recognize our faith -- fate is connected to the fate of others. that is the spirit that binds us together. the spirit that brings us here today. i want to close by reminding you that california is the birthplace as mayor lee was saying of life science, biotech, the home of the california stem cell institute, a state with more engineers, more scientists, more global -- nobel laureate's than any other state or we still lay cl

of a state exchange far into the future. i think it is something that won't occur, but even a state chooses to do that, they made a policy decision. in this case, oklahoma, as 20 other states, said they will not adopt an exchange. the law clearly confined agency that the federal level to say this is what happens when it occurs. tax subsidies and credits don't go, but at the same time, the assessment for the employer for failing to provide qualified health insurance also does not flow to the state. that is a policy decision that must be preserved. but above that, this is about enforcing the clear language of the law. you have an agency taking action in contravention of the clear reading of the law and adopting a rule which they did not have the authority to do. that is what we are challenging. host: what do you say to those who say, the exchange's i sat up to help drive down the cost of health care gb gift -- the exchanges are set up to help drive down the cost of health care. there is a story about how insurance cost accelera

is the state even prepared to make this many photo ids? >> that is the first time i've heard the pat toomey clip, and i am appalled at some of the things he said. pennsylvania has the most stringent photo voter id law in the country. there are many other states that have some form of voter id, but they all have some safety valve that will guarantee that people who end up not having a id on election day can still vote. for instance, in georgia, anyone who does not have i deacon vote by absentee ballot. in pennsylvania, you cannot do that. in michigan and florida, if you show up on election day and do not have the right kind of id, you vote by provisional ballot but you also fill out an affidavit saying you are you say you are. it's a signature matches with what is in the foot to -- registration books accounts automatically. and pennsylvania, you have to go out and get a valid form of id within six days in order for your vote to count. as we showed at trial, if you're starting from scratch trying to get a new id, that will be virtually imposs

the u.s. state department official was killed during that attack. hillary clinton came out condemning the attack saying that she's also working with diplomatic missions around the world to ensure their security. the libyan government also came out condemning the attack saying that they are going to investigate the matter. >> all right. ian lee live in cairo this morning. thank you very much. >>> all right. in chicago many parents now losing money and patience. it's back to the bargaining table in chicago. there's no deal yet to resolve the teacher strike. this strike now entering day three with the teachers union now saying there's a considerable way to go before there's a deal. casey wyan is at the chicago public school headquarters. casey, what's the latest? >> reporter: the latest, christine, is that the two sides are talking or will be talking again beginning at 11:00 this morning. the chicago public schools negotiators say they presented what they call a comprehensive proposal, a new comprehens

the united states had given a promise that the united states congress that if it waited and let the u.s. government debt multilateral sanctions, it could go forward with its own sanctions. it was critical the congress would wait and do it after the sanctions had been passed. if they had been imposed before then, there would be no multilateral section -- sanctions. what happened is that two days before he arrived, russia and china came in with an agreement to the proposal that had been negotiated. the white house had to break a promise. turkey and brazil or congress? six months before a crucial election, mindful of the fact the administration felt it had already lost political capital the health care debate, the sense was it would not be wise to break the promise to congress. we missed that opportunity. now we are in a situation where i do not share the optimism in turkey being able to play the same type of critical and constructive role it did in 2010 as a result of the region and of the support of assad. it is a different dynamic now between the governments. the question is, who could

we felt the united states, our fellow citizens, needed to know why latinos had come to the united states the real reasons, the root causes of immigration. in just about all the cases when you look at history, you see clearly that are different ways of migration are connected to actions the united states took in our countries. in different times for different reasons, but it is very consistent throughout history, this connection between our foreign policy and immigration. >> juan, i mean, the first day of the democratic convention in charlotte, a bus pulled up in front of the gates, the undocubus, and scores of people got out chanting "no papers, no fear." 10 were arrested as police poured in. immigration is one of the key issues of this election, yet you do not have presidential candidates who have a vastly differenprbecoming an issue, non the big cities like new york, l.a., miami, but in the heartland of america, especially in the south. in north carolina, for instance, there's been a huge increase of the latino population. but most people do not understand how they got there. it is a l

the heavy artillery meanwhile syrian state t.v. says it's killed at least five people at a mosque in damascus. and barack obama formally becomes the democrat's presidential candidate with more promises of change his opponents say he's failed to deliver on his original pledges from four years ago hit back at the republicans and criticized mitt romney for calling russia america's number one. discussing if the whole u.s. presidential convention season is just an excuse for more mudslinging or perhaps a real opportunity for ideas and change. and. blow in welcome to cross talk on peter lavelle what is the state of the american empire is it suffering from military overreach and can he continue to afford such a massive global military presence can the u.s. and its allies really afford more wars of choice and importantly is empire damaging the very foundations of american society. and. to cross-talk the u.s. empire i'm joined by her at london in new york he is president emeritus of the hudson institute also in new york we have george samuel

would make a statement indicating that the united states view this viewed china's claim on. whose as a violation that the united states would treat this under the treaty under the u.s. japan security treaty and would protect you under it so i don't think it can be said the united states has maintained neutrality on this on the other hand it's also the case as bruce has suggested that a number of statements did come out of the pentagon out of the state department saying. the united states doesn't have an official position on the islands themselves but if we go back historically if we go back to the disposition of these islands and. other territories after world war two we have to pay attention to the crucial crucial role that the united states played in making all of the territories that we now are looking at this was the san francisco treaty of one nine hundred fifty one china was excluded from it and in that treaty what the united states did was to create all across the asia pacific a series of decisions about ownership without at any point spelling out the latitude longitud

the two state solution, namely the state of palestinian coexist with the state of israel, represents the spirit of this for a compromise in this declaration of principles signed 19 years ago. it is a compromise in which the palestinian people accepted to establish their state and only 22% of the territory of historic palace been -- palestine. there is an intensification of isreali measures in the emptying the course -- making it the extremely difficult if not impossible. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, is really government -- isreali government has large areas in the occupied palestinian territory. they continue to occupy a large area of the territory. it refuses to engage in any serious discussion of the palestinian refugees. it wants to continue its occupation of palestinian warfare and its control over the most across the areas in our land, air, borders, and our life in its entirety. the border can be done in accordance with isreali off show as the following -- there are checkpoints and vast security along roads devoted to people being subject to the full dominance of military

it is all formulas back to the state. and no tiger grant program. but, the tifia program grows 700 percent and the rules are relaxed and administrators of the program at the federal level are told that you are going to have a number of weeks to make a decision on the project. and the main criteria will be the credit worthiness of the project. with your permission, whether who is eligible for this tifia stuff, if the credit worthiness is the criteria then this is geared to interpreting the help of the private sector into infrastructure development. here is the direction that the country is taking, we are borrowing money from the future at let me see low interest rates, but your question is good too. all interest rates are low now. but we are borrowing that from the federal government but we have to repay it later. and that is our policy for investigating infrastructure in the future. so not a great picture, not a picture that really commits the country to a solid future as far as creating the new infrastructure and rehab taiting the one that we have f

we are looking to see about the same level of funding over all as a state. of approximately $3 and a half billion under the two programs. but, the key issue is that the funding programs are distributed. the funding is distributed differently, and there is a tug of war going on right now as we speak between the state and the regions about how that funding will be distributed. so, and i will get to that in a moment. but the issue will be discussed in detail at the ctc meeting on september 26 and 27th in burning game. over all the proposal maintains the current level. -safetea-lu-calls for a 50/50 split for the funding sources which in the past had been funded two-thirds to the region and one-third to the state and this is primarily the surface transportation program which is the most flexible source of federal funding under the federal transportation bill. there is also a working group and maybe mark can speak to this if you have any other questions. but the working group that is working with ctc and cal tran staff and also local grups across the country. i am

can the united states put itself in such an embarrassing position in which i agrees on most the united states and israel against the whole world and student happened by barack obama may be the most liberal american president ever and he did so so this change which we all look for and wait for and pray for this change didn't happen yet ok mika can you explain to me and maybe there is no explanation because most american jews are liberal and most of them support obama and those that vote will probably vote for obama but we still have this very concise consistent pollan defending israel and its policies on the ground there what you want to see the american jews are they just compartmentalized it i mean but they do say but that's a different topic it's a different subject because where they kept their values then. well i think i'd preface. the preface my answer by saying i really don't think the jewish community is monolithic. complete book the general's son has been out. i've been touring the country and i booked a tour the country over the next few months and i would say at least half of

this was a positive story at the state department and very sad. >> here is the secretary of state. >> yesterday our u.s. diplomatic post in benghazi, libya, was attacked. heavily armed militants assaulted the compound and set fire to our buildings. american and libyan security personnel battled the attackers together. four americans were killed. they included sean smith, a foreign service information management officer, and our ambassador to libya, chris stevens. we are still making next of kin notification for the other two individuals. this is an attack that should shock the conscience of people of all faiths around the world. we condemn in the strongest terms this senseless act of violence, and we send our prayers to the families, friends, and colleagues of those we've lost. all over the world every day, american diplomats and development experts risk their lives in the service of our country and our values. because they believe that the united states must be a force for peace and progress in the world, that these aspirations are worth striving and sacrificing for. alongside our me

may god continue to bless the united states of america. t honor of the injured -- let me have a great honor of introducing someone who came to the state department earlier this week to grieve with us. he understands and values the work that these men were doing for our country. the president of the united states. >> the scripture teaches us greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. glen doherty never shied from adventure. he believed he could make a difference. he served with distinction in iraq and afghanistan. in benghazi, he laid down his life. today, glen is home. tyrone woods devoted 20 years of his life to the seals. the quiet professional. rone also served in iraq and afghanistan. in benghazi, he was far from dorothy and tyrone jr. and he laid down his life, protecting his friends. today, he is home. sean smith live to serve, first in the air force and then at the state department. he knew the perils of his calling from his time in baghdad. in benghazi, he surely thought of his children and he

united states will have to deal accordingly. the likelihood is there wasn't state involvement. this was the excitement of al qaeda of its followers if that's what proves to be true. without a state involvement, and of course we will continue to keep going after the leadership of al qaeda. remember just a few days ago the newspapers reported that the number two al qaeda leader in yemen was taken down. so the progress continues on taking down and dismantling the leadership of al qaeda. >> in a vacuum thousands of miles away, senator nelson, would you agree that it seems outside the realm of possibility that the same day the united states was attacked by al qaeda, the same day that somebody released a video saying yeah, you killed our guy, that they would be able to 20 guys with an rpg be able to get to our embassy and aassassinate our em ambassador? >> well, we don't know the answer to that, but that is certainly a coincidence that needs to be explored, or it is possible since the video had been obviously filmed sometime before, that

states? >> that daylight between israel and the united states. this is an administration of a great deal of rhetoric. let's look to the actions. >> that is an interesting point, congressman. there are people that say, it doesn't matter if there are nice photo ops. but does it matter what president obama is eating in jerusalem? >> it does matter. >> would you measure military support with the diplomatic aid? he may not love is real. >> i am not asking obama if he loves it, if he believes it is in the best interests of the united states to support that relationship that every president has done. does he believe in order to satisfy the muslim world, that somehow or another, he has to separate from israel. it is absolutely true. by the way, the president's people say that there was never a formal request for a meeting. i believe them. i believe they are honorable people. not having that meeting is unfair. my contact said that the israeli the first sent the request had to walk that statement back. i accept it as true because people that told me this ar

and the united states society. i lived when i was a young student between 1978 and '85 in the united states. these were student days and these were good days and my family was with me. i want the relationship between the two peoples of the united states and egypt to reach the highest levels of communication and love and respect. respect, mutual respect. this is a message that i want to be clear, very clear, for the egyptian people and they know that and they love this and for the american people. i hope that this visit is the beginning of a relationship of mutual respect and the relationship of not intervening in the affairs of the other party as well. >> rose: when you were a student at southern cal-- (laughs) -- did you ever imagine in a moment that you might become president of egypt? >> i was busy, very busy at the time studying and i was very much interested in political affairs and the situation in egypt and i always thought about the egyptian people and how i could benefit my nation and my country and i wante

as i travel around the state the focus is jobs, economy, reforming state government. at has to be the primary focus. these are critical times in new hampshire as well as this country. we need leaders that understand that jobs are created in the private sector. what it takes to create an environment for job creation here in new hampshire is the primary focus. that is what my campaign has been about from the beginning, and that is what we will continue to be as we go for intestinal election. >> moderator: abcaeight. over to you with the question. >> moderator: the next governor will decide whether to expand medicaid. would you support this? lamontagne: this is where my position is. i have been outside general counsel to a major hospital. i know of the health care field. i have seen the impact of the federal government on our current health care delivery system. i think we should do as a state is go to the federal government to do a couple of things and get a maintenance of effort waiver on medicaid so that we can have more flexibility. number two, demand of the federal g

this is an ad that is airing on tv in the swing states. is new ad argues like the previous ones did that both mr. romney and his running mate paul ryan say they would overturn roe versus wade, and both have supported banning abortion even without exceptions for women who get pregnant because of rape or incest. the ad is airing in five states. all of which are swing states that the president and the romney campaign are fighting hard to win. it's airing in colorado, ohio, iowa, nevada, and virginia. the obama campaign is essentially showing with all these ads how seriously they are taking the women's vote in this election and how they are appealing for the women's vote by talking policy. but hey, the romney campaign is serious about the women's vote, too. and here's how you can tell. i want you to look at the crowd staged behind mitt romney at a rally yesterday in fairfax, virginia. what do almost all of the people standing behind mitt romney at this rally have in common? if you said matched chromosomes, ding, ding, ding! it seems like there

she works at the state department for us. elise this is a tragedy for the entire diplomatic community this morning. >> yes, yes. john, this is a terrible day for the state department. everyone is going to be in mourning today. it's not just the fact that chris stevens was such a popular figure of the state department. really, one of the cream of the crop of the u.s. foreign service. but it's been many years since someone of this level has been killed in an attack like this. so i think there's going to be a lot of shockwaves through the state department. after all the u.s. has done for the libyans. using force to get rid of moammar gadhafi, to help libya stand up as it moved towards elections, as it tries to start anew. i think there's going to be a lot of gut checking right now about how the u.s. wants to proceed. not just with libya. but with a lot of countries in the middle east. i mean if you look at the islamic wave that has swept the middle east in terms of these revolutions, the u.s. was very apprehensive, that we are go

the solution. which is two states, the secure state of israel, state of palestine. yet we can't seem to get there. now i think personally, we can get there. but i think we are over this next period it is maybe more difficult once you have everything happening, including here. but i think-- . >> rose: you mean the elections. >> yeah. it's-- you know, it would be odd if we were able to take a major new initiative right at this moment. however, i do think that it is possible to put together a credible negotiation, provided alongside that negotiation, and this is my sort of fixation having dealt with this now for a few years, you've got also to make the changes on the ground that support the political process. so if you carry on in a situation where the facts on the ground are working against a political solution t will never work. so i believe it is possible to do this. and i think it remains absolutely urgent. >> i assume are you talking about settlements on one side as a fact on the ground and what on the other side. >> there is the question of settlement where settl

therefore, he was not able to do any thing in the state of west virginia. what i have seen is a duplicate of that with this congress. this congress has failed to do exactly what they have sworn to do and that is to support the constitution of the united states. when you are making laws, it is not your prerogative to put your party first. host: alright. mr. woodward. guest: as i pointed out in the book, there is scene after scene where the republicans show that they will not budge on some of these things. in their view, they are adhering to the constitution. in their view, they're doing what is necessary. but the key point is that speaker boehner is at least a nominal leader of the republicans in the house and open these negotiations last year with the president. they're all kinds of offers and discusons going back and forth on this. you can see the detail and you -- you may blameahaw obama or you may blame the republicans or you may blame me for writing this. but this is, if you will, the performance review. this is what we used to always call the best obtai

he thought he was president of the united states. president of the united states should do. ent obama is discipline and tough guy running for re-election and trying to help the re-election. what helps is a safe speech to the u.n. general assembly. then out of new york, to the campaign. >> bret: another thing that raised eyebrows last night was histones a question about benghazi and the situation in libya. and the arab spring. republicans quickly pounced on it. >> let's see what i have done since i came in office. i said i'd end the war in iraq. i did. i said that we'd go after al-qaeda. they have been decimateed in fatah. that we would go after bin laden. he's gone. so i have executed on my foreign policy. it's one that the american people largely agree with. if governor romney is suggesting that we should start another war, he should say so. >> bret: bill? >> disgraceful statement by the president. if governor romney is suggesting we should start another war he should say so. this is in respect to iran in the question. the president's position on iran is that all options are

it is always is the gateway of the united states to china. as the economic and trade cooperation between china and the united states and california deepens, now we believe that trade and investment keeps growing. china is the third largest export destination for california. many multinationals like hp, intel, cisco, and chevron are doing well in china. they're making money in china. at the same time, as the close relationship is going on, many chinese companies are working in san francisco in california. i would like to name a few. the tsl, ciuts, just to name a few. these are successful chinese companies working here. as the american companies in china, the chinese companies working in california in san francisco are also making contributions to job creation and the development of the economy in local areas. we're thinking these are very good signs. as the previous speakers mentioned, we paid a visit to the united states last february. governor brown proposed that we set up a working group for the u.s., a state, and china provinces to coopera

it presents enormous challenges to the state department. it presents even bigger challenge is, frankly, to the people in a country that has just overthrown its ruler and has to then ask itself -- now what? who is going to lead us? there are both good aspects and negative aspects to the role of the internet in propelling these movements. >> you mentioned robert for's work with social media in syria, which he has kept up even since the embassy has been closed -- robert ford's work. to what extent can those virtual indices fulfill the role of an actual embassy, and where do they fall short? >> they fall well short of what a real, traditional embassy can do. what facebook does not do is replace the very necessary work of engaging face-to-face. i do think that we are able to be able to engage with people virtually, and that is a good thing, but it is something considerably less than having 100 people in a country getting to know and engage with business leaders, with civil society leaders, and others. it is worth doing, but it is a case where i d

the secretary of state hillary clinton has denounced the violence against the united states. >> but asyesterday, there is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence. we condemn the violence that has resulted in the strongest terms. >> let's turn now to cnn's ben wedeman in cairo. 224 people injured so far? >> reporter: yes. that's right. and in fact, the number is probably likely to rise. right now, i'm hearing a lot of shouting and there were just a moment ago a lot of teargas being fired in the street. right next to the american embassy. and this is really been going on all day long. and what we have seen in the last hour is that the security forces have pulled back closer to the area immediately around the american embassy. now, we had a chance to speak with some of those protest earls. many of them blaming directly president obama for this current uproar. >> translator: our demand is that president barack obama appears and makes an official apology to all islamic nations. that is our right. we also want the tape burned and all those involved in insult

what the united states has historically been very aggressive the united states has long been the dominant oil power in the middle east and parts of africa and in parts of latin america so china as it overtakes the united states as the leading oil importer has no choice but to be assertive to be aggressive in places i don't think this is because of a desire to to confront the united states but the sheer necessity of providing energy for china's booming economy michael i have a quote here that i think proves proves your your your statement my guidance is clear about america declared in canberra australia last year. as we plan and budget for the future we will allocate the resources necessary to maintain our strong military presence in this region and quote can. this can this strategy voiced by mr obama will lead to a new two new arms race or don't you think or do you think chinese the chinese will not respond to such words. i don't see how the chinese cannot respond to those words after all we're not talking about the area of the pacific off the american coast we're talking about areas of t

this after the united states, the nato allies, many in the arab world and moderate arab states workedether to get rid of gadhafi in libya and to see the attack on a mission in benghazi, that's way beyond politics, carol. this is a huge national security issue that's developed and goes to underscore that in these kinds of presidential debates when everyone is focusing on domestic issues, economic issues, the jobs related issues and domestic social issues that a national security crisis and this is a crisis right now can explode. you got what's going on in ben zba ga zi in libya right now. you got what's going on in cairo. american flags are burned. and it's a dangerous situation. this is one of the largest diplomatic missions that the united states has in the world. a lot of americans serving at the u.s. embassy in cairo. that's where they distribute more than $1.5 billion a year in u.s. economic and military assistance. mostly military assistance to egypt. but all that very much up in the air and then you have some serious tensions shall we say developing overnight as well between pri

the first of these bills transfers lands within the state of minnesota to the benefit of the state's public school system. the rule provides for consideration of each and every amendment offered by members to the rules committee by the amendment deadline. the next measure of this rule allows for consideration of h.r. 5949, the fisa amendments act re-authorization act of 2012. also called the s.a.a. re-authorization, this legislation would re-authorize programs that are critical important to our national security. in 2008, f.a.a. has enjoyed a history of strong bipartisan support. now president obama and his administration have made it clear that a clean, long-term extension of f.a.a. is their number one intelligence priority. that's exactly what h.r. 5949 does. recognizing our nation's security cannot and should not wait until an emergency or the 11th hour or rush to re-authorization. the select intelligence and judiciary committees have had hearings on f.a.a.'s re-authorization. they have marked up the bill. they sent it to us months ahead of the expiration deadline. i congratulate b
