the united states the united states as a vietnam war and dumb it down to get up the ad and shut the gold window to continue to vietnam or for other ten years or so and thousands of u.s. troops dead needlessly every war in history. as never being fought on a cash basis if the government's fukuda cut castrations they couldn't exist now let me ask you very much in question which is that the criticism from let's say the russell brand of the world is that the current system of g.d.p. is that it encourages quote unquote infinite growth and you can't have infinite growth in a society in a world like planet earth that is fine at resources wouldn't be so that if i'm russell brand raman ecologist or i'm george monbiot who's an ecological here are you ok for the people of course i know a lot of. george monbiot he's a he's a writer for the guardian is there true that one of the greatest allies these ecologists and people on checks and balances on corporations isn't is the truth that they would be the loudest most vocal advocates of gold and gold standard they should be because even though g

this is the states of equal marriage rights, with this vote today, illinois becomes the largest staten the heart of the country to recognize marriage equality after minnesota and iowa before them. it's a wonder in which states are going to be next. the debate is on right now and the legislature in the state of hawaii so that vote could really come at any minute, suspected sometime this week. in new mexico t matter is in court right now. there's no state law for or against marriage equality in new mexico. but a court ruling in that state is expected sometime in the next few weeks. so 15 states it's a done or basically a done deal, hawaii and new mexico may be next. before today, the big vote in illinois, the last state to okay marriage equality was new jersey just a couple of weeks ago. the state legislature in new jersey had okayed marriage equality but governor chris christie vetoed the law. when the courts overruled governor cristie and said marriages can go ahead in that state, governor christie appealed that ruling. then after the state supreme court weighed in against the governo

if the united states politicians get their house in order in washington, i think the united states to be on track very fast. even unemployment could go down. >> rose: unemployment could go down. does this in any way impede what many believe will be the chinese century? >> if it's the chinese century, a century doesn't mean it will not only be the century of the united states and the whole world. the whole world is changing dramatically. yes, i agree, china is now the rising star in the whole world, and it's going to exert its power and hedge money, no doubt about that. but the united states is still way far ahead of china, india, and many other countries. if you look at the g.d.p. of the united states, it's still double of china. and although china eventually may overtake the united states in total g.d.p., can'titative, but qualitative, it will take decades for china to come near want united states. >> rose: when you look at the global economy are you reasonably confident now that we've survived and put in place things that will make it unlikely we run into another kind of bubble like

the united states we have the e states and we have the federal regulation. we do, i think, a fairly good job of the states working together to try to find common n approaches whenever possible and then to work with the states on the federal approach and try to get as much common ground there as we can. so we have as much consistency as we can at least within the co united states. then we go externally. externally from the money laundering and counterterrorist finance perspective, the task na forcel is the international standard setting body that attempts to keep consistency in standards across the globe. it's a body that has carrots and sticks and has been effective in getting countries to put regulations in place. but all that being said, i thin ifac businesses are going to lee the united states based on perceived or real regulatory burden, i think they are going to find the game short lived because as mentioned, countries are going to have an interest in figuring out the tax implications and monetary policies. it's not just the united statesi that has inte

and for all the u.s. states and cities who are represented here today, we want to provide you with the tools you need to close those deals and create those jobs. so that's why today i'm proud to announce that i'm expanding and enhancing select u.s.a. to create the first ever fully coordinated u.s. government effort to recruit businesses to invest and create new jobs in the united states. \[applause] to do that i'm taking four new steps to bring more good jobs to our shores. first, building on the great work that our diplomats and embassies do every day, i'm making attractive for investment a formal part of our portfolio for our ambassadors and their teams around the world. i meet with staffs wherever i go, all of them are great ambassadors for america and they're building bridges and connections every day. well, i want them doing even more to help foreign companies cross those bridges and come here. and as they take on this expanded economic mission overseas, we'll make sure that they've got the support that the

the den. various heads of state came to visit. we have a few things to speak to her connection to the room here. one of the things she wanted to highlight was the native american heritage here in the hill country, and we do have a small collection of arrowheads over there. she had an eye for copper and collected various items through the years and had gifts from various friends. mrs. johnson gave a tour of the house in 1968 that was filmed where she featured the china purchased in mexico, very colorful. first lady mrs. johnson spent a lot of time here at the ranch. it was important because it provided such a respite from all the turmoil of washington, particularly later in the presidency when the johnsons could come home, recharge their batteries and make that connection back to the land and this place they valued so much. >> first lady lady bird johnson, tonight live at 9:00 eastern on c-span and cspan3. >>> there are some serious scholars in women's studies. most departments include their fair sheer of nonideolgical academics of

is done in the united states. right now the united states is unbeatable for that. second, the value added on resources, how is putting its money where its mouth is. we're putting 5 billion dollars against the national gas advantage that was talked about. we are putting thousands of jobs at work. this will create up to 2 million jobs in the next several years. a lot of that will be exporting brains and of course a little bit of iran. >> thank you, andrew. [applause] having heard from these three global business leaders, gene, i know one of your strengths is officiating the long-term growth of our country rests with private sector job growth. help the audience understand how in creating policies you think about the comments you've heard this morning and what you have heard of the course of your tenor and how you make decisions accordingly. >> ever since president obama was first running for president, he very much had a focus on what you have to do to lay the foundation for the private sector to make the united state

programs for reducing carbon pollution in the power plants operating in each state. epa's job is to deliver clean air, clean water and save and help you land to american families. we've done this job for more than four decades and we done about relying on the best available science, by being transparent in our decision-making, and by working with anyone to develop commonsense approaches to protecting and improving the environment across the country. the 40 year history has proved we can reduce pollution while creating jobs and strengthening the economy at the same time. it is this history that brings us here today. to hear from you as we consider the best, most flexible approach is to reducing carbon pollution from the existing power fleet. at today's meeting, and that 10 others like this around the country this fall, epa is reaching out to the public at large to get your input. we want to hear from everyone, including community, industry leaders, environmental and public health groups, faith leaders and labor organizations. we want to hear about how epa should develo

this newfound energy advantage of the united states and adding it to good use to allow the united states to become an export machine and to take not just liquids, but silence and in , andhe brains, if you like become gold-medal parts, team usa is there. as far as i am concerned as i travel around the world, where are the bright spots? it is here. wrong, therefore work together to get it right. advancedy short, manufacturing of the sustainable sensors ofns and robotics and the bio kind, that is all occurring at the intersections of markets and sciences. united states and the course of its entrepreneurial system and the course -- and the way that it teaches at schools of the way that our kids grow up in the system, to look at opportunity and to go at the answer and work humanw to reduce footprints on the planet, these are the things that make the united states attractive part of the roof to invest in. you can do it here. 70% of all of the r&d is done in the united states. 70%. not to say that it should be done elsewhere. i not united states is unbeatable for that. the dow is putting its mo

solely from the united states. we have factors out in the midwest where 80% of the production is for export only. we work hard at being competitive both internally in our system at caterpillar but we also work hard with the u.s. government and michael and many others to open markets outside the u.s. because after all, 95% of our potential customers are not in this country. they are outside and we desperately need that. over the last five years our total exports have exceeded $82 billion from the united states. and those are destined for virtually every country in the world at some point or another. i cannot over emphasize the benefits of trade and open trade, but sometimes it's a hard message. free trade, open trade and globalization sometimes has a pretty tough context in a lot of small towns were our plans are. that's a message that all of us have to get out and work on, because without access to those 95% consumers outside this country, i don't know where we will be in a generation or two from the. we all need to

and in the state of maryland, we have 26,000. and yesterday, with the ambassador's assistance, and jeremy, with your help, we met with representatives of the filipino community in maryland, and they are, obviously, very anxious because they have relatives and friends that were directly impacted and they are worried about their well being. they also are frustrated because they want to help, and how can they help? and that's a question we're going to try to focus on during this hearing, is how can individuals help in the response effort, what is the best way to deal with it? i thought the meeting with billy was particularly helpful, but it was clear to me that we have to keep a focus on what is happening, and that brings me to this hearing, the purpose, of course, to get an update where the circumstances exist today in the philippines, what is the government doing, what is the international response, and what role america is playing on this latest humanitarian need. with that, let me turn it over to senator rubio for his comments. >

we just submitted our request to the state to establish the obligation with the state. that's before them now so that's step one is to have the state finally determine that there is a replacement housing obligation and then i think we go from there. >> got it. >> as a part of that determination, determining there is a statutory obligation, we need a /soeurs of funds so that's the funding stream so in those redevelopment plan areas where the program is complete, golden gateway, south beach, now there's ability after death service to be able to use the additional head room in that tax increment for this tax purpose so we've built approximately close to 1,000 today, but about 6,000 still exist, so it's the obligation and funding stream. if the city were to accept the obligation, it would have to identify a funding stream so it would be unwise for the city to accept the obligation without a source of funds to do it. >> okay. i think i have some more thoughts on that, but that's not part of this resolution so we'll move on to other questions. can you just also explain again

and so all -- >> the convention tells the state's parties go regulate individual conduct in exactly the way this convention regulates state parties. and then what the legislation does is as justice ginsberg said just mirrored the convention as the convention contemplated. >> taking quite precise with the convention says and this is article vii section i 33 a of the blue brief appendix what it says is each nation status on the convention agrees in accordance with its constitutional processes to pass penal laws that make unlawful for individuals, conduct that would violate conduct taken by an asian state and i suggest making that translation if you will between what violates the convention if you are a nation state and what would be comparable individual conduct is not obvious and when the government does that routine legislation there is no reason the penal legislation shouldn't have to comply as we promised. >> why not? there can be no doubt that chemical weapon treaty is at the forefront of our foreign policy efforts right now. look at the syrian situation alone. it would be deeply iro

what states thawith states thatg the marketplace were healthcare.gov will transition to the state-based marketplace over the next two years. i think in some respects the rollout of healthcare.gov will be a catalyst for some states including the partnership to quickly transition and in other states that have been adamantly opposed to the affordable care act this may reenter and then in the position to not build the state-based exchange but we anticipate that many of them will transition over the next two years to the state-based marketplace and some, not all, of the federally facilitated barkett place or states that are utilizing the federally facilitated marketplace will transition. last but not least, funding. the federal deficit. what will the funding look like for the ongoing development of exchanges? states have until december 2014 to apply for a draft to build an exchange. the question is will that funding still be there at the end of next year? thank you. >> that's great. thank you. even if you did end with questions instead of answers. we will get to you later with the answer par

here you have the state, the first thing is that the state took over the philly school system over 15 years ago, and they have left the felly school system with a huge deficit which they are not trying to help with, and instead are starving the kids out of an education. >> there's a $3 million budget gap. and it didn't happen overnight. you mentioned that this is a manufactured crisis. how is a $300 million gap a manufactured increase? >> because between the cut to school aid that has happened from harrisburg, the diversion of assets that should be going to public school children in traditional public schools, i'm pretty agnostic, but you can't take from one group of kids to give to another. you have to create an investment to give to all kids. and in the third, the state controls the school system. so the $300 million deficit is a deficit that the state, under corbett and other governors, have created. so what we have here, the governor, i think, we saw that this in a poll that they secretly took, that they wanted to bring the deficit that they created on the teachers, who already ge

no significant reforms in the state. nd bobby jindal, and many have a result of this that they passed from the efflux line and that actually has teeth in and the legislature will never forgive him. for tying them into that. so there are some that could surprise this as well and governor brownback of kansas, and others as well. and they could be sustained. three senators that you mentioned one with the disadvantage of being senators because you can give speeches as senator, but little hard to say this. that fits fix this right in raise taxes or etc. so, you know, it's just tougher to do and certainly rand paul represents a small libertarian republican party as well. and i think certainly marco rubio in florida and others, they have been speaking well as well. ted cruz needs to be famous for something other than the bellyflop of this or nothing. because it didn't work. but that being said, he has come back and all of them are on board for a more measured approach with them on how to fix obamacare. >> tomorrow we have karl r

one of the closest allies of the united states and. never actually forgave the usa for turning its back on more bartok but. in the long run a new thought that todt the support of the army so it had a safety net it had an insurance policy in both egypt and. was that was one of the major reasons that actually the obama pulled the rug from under their feet. off mubarak knowing fully well that supporting this important pivotal point where the actually win over the conflict win over the support of the people to the army which actually took over power and diffused to relinquish power it was only after protests further. we had to run out but i don't think that talks more about indecision and the lack of strategery even understanding what's going on on the ground and how would you how would you look at how the western powers particularly the united states has dealt with events in the greater middle east over the last two years because you know we can look at each individual country in their specifics there but the bomber administration seems to

the issues. maine is a state hurting because of the poor direction our current governor has led the state. people in maine are not going to get covered because of a veto that the governor put forth. and the fact of the matter is, it would save maine over $600,000 by that expansion of medicaid here for voters, i mean constituents in main. jobs and the economy is very important. yes, we do have down employment rate, it's been going down. but it doesn't mean people are not getting jobs. it means they're not collecting unemployment. so we have a lot of issues here in maine that we need to focus on, and that's why i decided for governor. it concerns me the direction we're being led by the current administration and i look forward to talking to the voters about the issues. >> when you said that you were hearing that your sexual orientation was becoming an issue, not by your choice but that other people were starting to talk about it because were you running for governor, do you know that that was being done by people who were trying to use it against you? people trying to say it was a bad thing

' -- the united state's views are. i look forward to your questions. >> that is the first time i have seen a law professor not take his full five minutes. we complement to. -- you. [laughter] to all of the witnesses for their testimony. briefly, a claim of authority is different than authority itself. is it not? >> um, that's correct, yes. >> and in understanding or even a reservation as you describe a noaa tasly create to any claim in the context of anyican law -- a nullity to claim in the context of america law. it would be sufficient to ensure u.s. courts do not recognize private cause of action based upon the convention. simply notifying the claim of authority would not affect the ability of other state hardee's to the convention to adopt interpretations of the convention coming out of the committee. >> meaning other countries. >> other countries. secretary ridge, i understand you are a strong supporter of homeschooling. i am sure you are aware of the arguments made last year and made here today. can you speak to th

the big state government pick who they're going to send to the united states senate the elected to do in having the people all who have stayed in exclusively a bad state pick who's going to be the person that they send to the senate in the united states that's always somehow a violation of the rights of the people in that state of the state rights the idea that the state legislatures would send someone who would advocate on behalf of that state for example stopping cars passing laws that have a negative impact on the state for example the medicaid expansion which will bankrupt states not this year not next summer so basically you're saying that the message of the politicians in the state in the state legislature is more important than that of the voters not matter. of what i'd like to get your take on this that's why we're this seems to me. well i hate to tell you but i understand what chris is trying to say here and that is that there is a certain place in the constitutional order for the states and i think also to this now may i just talk about ninth amendment precedes the tenth ame

i am all for drilling oil here in the united states if it stayed in the united states. we didn't put -- we ship it and then it goes to opec and that we're not really benefiting from it. then we build the refineries of pipelines, those are temporary. i feel the same way about nuclear. if we're going to -- i'm originally from nevada, and close to yucca mountain, if you want a nuclear power plant, your state stores the waste. i just don't see correlation between the prices, the more oil we drill, doesn't necessarily mean the prices that we pay at the pump are lower. guest: that's a lot of questions. let me say that i think that if the u.s. has not seen increase in oil production that we're seeing today, we would be looking at much higher gasoline prices, we would be talking about a new oil crisis because you have to look outside the united states. you look at north africa, you look at libya, you look at nigeria and west africa. you look at iraq and number of countries in fact, there's a disruption that's going on in world oil supply and the growth of u.s. supplies helped to

he says the state board has not told the county that this is a discretionary matter. it has told them that they must comply with this order. and so, now in fairfax county, with something like 117 votes maybe between the two candidates statewide, fairfax county, in the democratic neighborhood in virginia, they have extended the time frame under which they are going to be counting provisional ballots until tomorrow night at midnight, but that's just because they're going to try to get as many voters as they can to come in individually to advocate for their ballots, even though voters never knew they had to do that before and they've never had to do that before in any election. so, those voters have to know that some time between now and tomorrow at midnight, they can come into the elections board in fairfax county and argue that their vote be counted. new rule. the state board of elections clarifying tonight in a letter that they really don't know how things were done in fairfax county in the past. they don't particularly care how things were done in fairfax county in t

of the united states. this is a big country. and it goes way beyond the beltway of washington, d.c., and you're going to hear today about one-third of the population that it's either working really, really well or it's working to some degree and with some changes could work better, and a few places where they are having some serious challenges, but you're going to hear from people who are at least trying. kentucky and the district of columbia are included in this category, and we will be hearing from representatives of these exchanges during our first panel this morning. in total, there are 18 states, plus the district of columbia, running their own s.h.o.p. exchanges, and for the record, since this is so important, i want to put these states in the record, california, colorado, connecticut, the district of columbia, not a state yet, maybe one day, hawaii, idaho, kentucky, maryland, massachusetts, minnesota, nevada, new mexico, new york, oregon, rhode island, utah, vermont, and washington state. in all part

uniform of the united states of america. ving this country. they and their families are entitled to all the benefits and respect according toed to all of our military men and women. >> that was secretary of defense chuck hagel speaking just moments ago in new york city tonight. setting up a confrontation between the pentagon and the government of nine red states. these states that the pentagon says are not treating service members the way they ought to be treated. the defense department told us tonight that it will not just be this speech, that if these states do not change their policies to get in line with federal law, as the defense secretary just explained, the pentagon told us tonight that the defense secretary, quote, is prepared to take further action the to get these states into compliance. we will post a transcript of the secretary's remarks at maddowblog tonight and more of the tape of his speech as soon as we can get it in. we'll be right back. [ woman ] too weak. wears off. [ female announcer ] stop searching and

level the new avenue of attack against obamacare is opened up off the hill in state capitals across the country this new attack is brought to you by a familiar photo the american legislative exchange council or alec that right wing think tank slash legislation generator that teams of business fact tatts with conservative lawmakers to pass corporatists legislation this year at its annual meeting alec approved a new model bill that takes aim at obamacare as health insurance exchanges it's called the health care freedom act and it would bar any health insurance company that accepts subsidies from doing business on the newly set up federal health insurance exchanges alex thinking is the only way companies can be mandated to provide health insurance to their workers as obamacare requires for businesses with more than fifty workers is through the availability of subsidies on the exchanges so if you get rid of those subsidies on the exchanges by for building health insurers from accepting them then you also unravel the business mandate to provide insurance and thus you protect the corporati

region whenever wherever it wants and if the united states actually comes to terms with iran i agree i think it would be a great thing for the united states i think would be a great thing for the region but it does mean that the united states is recognizing that there are genuine regional powers that it has to deal with through serious diplomacy it can't just assert prerogative and that is a nightmare scenario for israel and saudi arabia ok let's change gears let's look at the scenario where there is no agreement valerie if i go to you i mean what what is the future then i mean if we can't because we keep hearing forces. still on the table everything's still on the table here you know if we don't get an agreement then someone's going to have to fulfill those words i suppose and if you are a rare and you're going to do anything you need to do out of necessity to protect yourself i mean it seems to me that you know if this does the ring is we're all going down in one direction and it's not a very good direction to go for regional peace and certainly not

war detention into the united states. and, thirdly, it would require a detailed plan to be submitted to congress on how to close guantanamo, including the specific facilities intended to be used to hold detainees inside the united states. i've heard senator mccain talk about this, request it, and i believe it is a very valid need. it has been 12 years since the attacks of 9/11 and the united states invasion of afghanistan. in the ensuing years, 779 people were brought to guantanamo without charge, and for many of them simply for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. most of the 164 left have been held for more than ten years. those transferred to guantanamo from c.i.a. custody in black sites have been there now for more than seven years. and unfortunately, we still have not figured out a way to close guantanamo. president george w. bush called for it to be closed. so did former secretaries of state condoleezza rice and colin powell. as well as former secretaries of defense, bob gates and leon panetta, among others. i

the old astrodome and what to do with it. of course two states, virginia and new jersey, will elect or re-elect new governors today. it could be the first time since 1973 when the party that controls the white house wins the virginia gubernatorial race. it could be the first time since 1985 when the winner of the virginia and new jersey gubernatorial contests come from different parties. and a statewide republican candidate in new jersey could get more than 50% of the vote for the first time since '88. could be the first time that a democrat wins new york's mayoral contest since 1989. and it could be the first time since the early '90s that boston has a new mayor. detroit may get its first white mayor since 1974. but of course the two big contests we'll be watching tonight are the governors races in new jersey and virginia. no state has better reflected the center of american politics or the kun ti's changing demographics than the old dominion. perhaps we should be calling it the new dominion. democrat terry mcauliffe cast his ballot in northern

the states and nationally. in particular over the last couple of months in the large variation we have seen in the website functionality and the ease with which people are able to get into the marketplace and actually n. roll. in terms of the marketplace, about 16 states and the district of columbia are running their own marketplaces and it is great to have her here today to talk about the dc marketplace. idaho and new mexico use the federal website this year for enrollment. this means residents in about 36 states are using healthcare.gov to enroll in health plans. participation in the medicaid expansion is also going to have a significant impact on enrollment. so far 26 states and distric the district of columbia are expanding the program. about 24 states are undecided or are not going to expand. the congressional budget office has estimated by 201 201,825,000 people will enroll in the plan and they are expecting about 7 million to enroll in 2014. in medicaid a project about 9 million to enroll next year and ab

to fall apart not that the united states wants this to happen the united states wants to me horrid merry iranians suffer as much as possible they want to overstate the iranian economy and they've already succeeded in killing people because for example iran has had great difficulty importing medicines so the americans are definitely upset with this but as time goes on we are seeing increasingly countries moving away from the united states companies in nor in the united states and even individuals who are investing in iran without taking the sanctions regime into consideration a quick look now at some other news happening this hour international peace talks on syria have stalled after the main western backed opposition group said it won't attend in less and less president assad agrees to step down the syrian national coalition is also refusing to sit alongside key regional power player iran which is a strong ally of damascus the united states banks the s.n.c. while russia has been trying to convince all sides to negotiate the proposed conference in geneva. bylane says mark the key local el

and we share the information with member states to facilitate a decision by the member states. and iran had some constructive meetings. we reported to the member states countries togive make their policies. >> last question. hi. to have a session -- question. regarding the proposal for the process to build a mutual confidence, at this point, do you expect the iaea to be involved in the verification process? has been involved in the verification from the beginning. we are in charge of the verification of nuclear activities of iran and other countries and will continue to do so. , there is aed different route. our main focus is on -- >> ok. thank you all for coming. >> thank you very much.

such is the case with the states you mentioned. te minority leader, mitch mcconnell, responded to the success of obama care in his home state of kentucky today. he said, quote, 85% of the people who have signed up in kentucky have signed up for medicaid. that's free health care. if you want to give out free health care, you're going to have a lot of interests, just like free anything else. so i know there's been a great effort on the part of the administration, and the governor of kentucky, to paint a pretty picture. well, let me show you the picture that mitch mcconnell paints. he is in favor of corporations not paying their fair share. he's okay with one in four corporations in this country not paying any tax. he's in favor of allowing oil companies who are making record profits to get away with taxpayer it subsidies. so this still is a matter of priorities. is mitch mcconnell making the case to the people of kentucky that the people who have signed up with the preexisting conditions and over the 33,000 people who were going to ge

the federal government? did you envision not having that many states? what has been the consequences of the burden of that? >> we really didn't know. we knew that 27 states had sued around the constitutionality of the bill. there was uncertainty what would happen when the court declared it unconstitutional how those states would react. some have chosen a partnership where we still run the bulk of the exchange. it has added to the uncertainty of how large the operation would be. we did have deadlines in january of 13 for states to officially declare if they would run their own marketplace or not. and by february, a partnership plan. the state using the hub is significantly higher than they might have predicted initially at the outset of the plan. we have robust product offerings, very competitive. one fourth of the insurers are brand-new. they have choices, they have competition. >> the state marketplaces seem to be having greater success than those being run federally? >> the web features are running more smoothly if you think about one set of products and one set of prices in one state. it is a less compli
