i'm a proud member of the united states congress. select committee on intelligence. my father honorably served in the united states air force. my stepfather in the united states army. and my brother in the united states navy. i think for every one of us who are here on this stage tonight, i think we all want to send our very best happy thanksgiving greetings to all of our men and women in uniform who are serving as overseas, here in the united states and also to their families. happy thanksgiving. we appreciate, we love you and we want to get you home as soon as we can. >> my name is jon huntsman. i believe this week in particular that there is still much to be grateful for in this, the greatest nation that ever was. i'm here with my wife of 28 year, mary kay, who is fortuitously sitting in the new hampshire box up here. we are the wife -- or we are the parents of seven kids, two in the united states navy. twice elected governor of the great state of utah. i've lived overseas four times, three times as the united states ambassador. i

what position does the united states taken? and we concluded that was against the american interest to have china defeated even though we have no contact with them, and so we decided that in case of the war we would be technically neutral towards china and try to give it as much ability to survive as we could. we didn't communicate that with the chinese because we had no way of communicating with them. but what we did do is to step up statements that we would not be in different to such a war and we had the director helms make a speech i think it was the two political sides, something which in a low-key way he made that point and the deputy secretary of state, and then we began looking for channels into china at the same time, and we did a number of little things, for example, in retrospect it looks very minuscule. nobody normally can buy chinese goods anywhere, and so we lifted the restrictions so that as a tourist you could buy $100 worth of chinese goods. the chinese relieved some people and the occupants had been captured an

the department of state. this is the time for action. this is a time for the unitedtates to stand up for what it stands for and justice and human rights in the protection of liberties for all peoples, no matter where they may live. and so, i want all of you. [applause] and most of all, once again, thank our distinguished panelists who once again have spoken so eloquently today. thank you all very, very much. [applause] [applause] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [applause] [applause] >> next time i look at the 10th anniversary of the collapse of enron. we would hear would hear from journalists and former enron vice president. at the university of southern california's annenberg school for communication and journalism hosted this one-hour forum. it took place earlier this month in los angeles. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> folks come to thank you so much for coming this a

pro-united states means they should be under the influence of the united states. pro-iran means we will be friend together. you learn from our experience. we learn from your experience. so it's quite different meaning. >> rose: agreed. i agree withful that. but how do you see the way these governments will be forming in terms of whether it's egypt or looking at what happened in tunesia, in terms-- what does this mean with respect to islam? >> i think at least the minimum thing that islam is revisingtsel it's coming to the life much more than before. islam is revived in the social life. so we are very happy to see in tunesia muslim brotherhood is gaining. we are not after they copy our way of government. but it's obvious islamic sentiment is coming up. i mean just lo to the collective prayer, mosques, at theomen's, the sentiment. this is what we wan to see. this is what we think t is a good gain for ourdeas. you want to see the egyptian people, their experience of building a society based on their culture, their experience. we do not think that models from iran or

max i mean the nth power sooner or later it's going to crash as a result my own analysis of the united states is pessimistic in the sense that there's no place for the united states to go really everybody is a hustler in the united states that's all we know how to do and the this is no way to live it's empty in every sense of the word except material and then finally. the system crashes and we can't seem to get out of it because we don't understand anything else i mean paul krugman for example has called neo liberalism a zombie doctrine because although it's discredited itself it's still promoted you know what i mean this is the idea is is still laissez faire casino capitalism and the only people that are saying man this is a pile of baloney the occupy wall street folks but there's but there are those voices out there saying that i. know one hand just a moment ago you were paraphrasing hobbs' from leviathan and the war of all against all from his longer quote about the nature of human society before the iron fist of government or church came along to help save us. and and that you know hobbes

the constitution of the united states." that was removed from the bill. essentially what we are trying to do was put back in that you cannot indefinitely detain a citizen -- just a citizen of the united states without trial. and that's a basic right of this democracy. it's given to us because we are a citizen of the united states. now, where i profoundly disagree with the very distinguished chairman and ranking member of the armed services committee is by saying that ex party querin and essentially set the law. it did not. and i went to the hamdi opinion and i'd like to read some of the majority opinion as written by justice o'connor. "as critical as the government's interest may be, this is on page 23 of her opinion -- may be in detaining those who actually pose an immediate threat to the national security of the united states during ongoing international conflict, history and common sense teach us that an unchecked system of detention carries the potential to become a means for oppression and abuse of others who do not pre

the united states of america is standing for freedom and democracy. i t y all for making the journey possible. -- i think you all for making the journey possible thank you very much. [applause] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2011] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] >> every weekend on american history tv, the people and events the document the american story. this weekend, a group of lawyers, judges and historians retry mary surratt on charges that she was involved of president lincoln to talk assassinationjeb magruder on working on the committee to re- elect. thomas wayland on the presidency and the cold war policy. >> president obama began his nine day trip to the asian pacific region today. he was interviewed by the ceo of the boeing co. and talk about the effects of the new government in italy and greece and helping to we sought -- which of their debt crises efforts to double u.s. expert -- exports. this is about 40 minutes. >> it is great to be here with you. >> thank you. >> mr. president, a few forms are

we don't know how his policies will work up, where that's where the real threats to the united states -- in 10 years, by the way, since i believe the united states is going to come energy-efficient, self- sufficient in 10 year, because of all the new technology this we're developing for oil and natural gas, i think the roll of the middle east will decline. >> obama has had quite a successful in many respects, top three people of al-qaobama. >> meaning eck terminated. >> i give obama high marks for fulfilling bush's foreign policy. he's been very good at executing bush's foreign policy, particularly the war on terrorism, very focused. he's brought power to bear in a very smart way. he's gotten the people he needed getting. in terms of his own foreign policy, i agree with mort, i think it's tk, the issues that he's taking on himself whether arab, or building a different relationship with china, still to be determined. i think the key thing is leverage. >>> don't think the fact that he is carrying forward the bush- cheney policy diminishes what obama is doing? he's willing to see credibi

others make you wait for your book, he writes about the united states and china believe they represent unique values in the world can you say the united states believes that's not the case to spread its values to every part of the world were as china acts on the basis of this singularity knots expanded through what you call coulter off buses. tell us what you mean. >> the american believes that its values apply everywhere. in any society cannot stop them, that our institutions can be spread everywhere. the chinese believe that they represent the unique civilization. you can't really become chinese. you have to corrupt in its cultural environment. you can't really naturalize out the chinese. so as a result, americans have thought of the world is composed of more or less equal societies and had the concept of sovereignty to go with it. the chinese until the end of the 19th century thought of the world and its tributaries to what they call the celestial empire. tributaries didn't mean that they have to pay tribute. they had to bury -- he was expected to bring symbolic gifts. but they ofte

state. and it was the first one to decide we do not want it. the president declared they were going to be a non-nuclear weapons state and negotiated with the united states and russia to dismantle all the weapons and then take what remained of them, the uranium and other components that remained dangerous, and reduce this to a non-dangerous state. that was a really historic decision and followed an earlier one, 20 years ago, that also closed the nuclear-weapons testing site. the largest nuclear weapons testing site in the world, more than 400 to the explosions. he did that before kazakhstan officially became independent. it was his decision, saying enough is enough, i hereby decree this place is closed and it has been closed ever since. >> one of the things you are saying -- history is fascinating because just backing up a little bit, kazakhstan was kind of like a state within the soviet union. but he may day -- the current president made a very bold statement to the world by saying this place is closed. >> he made a very bold statement by saying that testing grounds is closed. he made another one by saying no more nuclear weapons. we have them, w

state constitutions. one of the really interesting things about american state constitutions is how different many of them look. the united states constitution, i've come to believe, was written and ratified at the last possible historical moment where you could have gotten a constitution as basically undemocratic as the united states constitution is. if you look at the 1820s and afterward, you find very different kinds of constitutions. for better or for worse by 1846 the new york constitutional convention which is very influential on lots of other states has adopted the practice of electing judges. most judges in the united states are elected or are -- [inaudible] now, this is very controversial, a lot of people don't like this, but there are really interesting aspects, and there is something to be said for an elected judiciary as well as to criticize it. as you move to the west coast, but not only the west coast, you find much more direct democracy, initiative and referendum, the ability of people, basically, to go around the legislature. um, the united states constitution is committed exclusively to representative dem

they got the nukes partly from the united states. i think the united states should engage the iranians to prevent them from going nuclear. i don't think they want to go nuclear. i don't think the american intelligence agencies have no firm data they're going nuclear, but i would engage them and taken a look at the turk irk-brazil proposal, you know? also, look, they are not a threat to the united states of america. for heaven's sakes. >> host: they have not invaded anybody for 250 years, but they were invaded by saddam and our backing. >> guest: with our support. >> host: put the shoe on the other foot. they're scared of us. >> guest: i think they are. they were very app prehencive when the story broke. i bet they taut it was a pretext for the americans to come after them. take the israelis saying this is 5 threat. they have hundreds of atomic bombs. who's the threat to whom? they run the planes out on test runs and run them into greece. if i were the iranians, i would be looking closely at that quite frankly, and what -- i don't know

they got nukes partly from the united states. e united states should engage the iranians to try to prevent them from going nuclear. i'm not sure they want to go nuclear. i'm not sure the american intelligence agencies have firm data they're going nuclear, and i would engage them, look at the turkish-brazil proposal, you know? also, look, they are not a threat to the united states of america for helps sakes. we got thousands of knock lar weapons. >> host: they have not invaded anybody in 250 years, but they were invaded. the shoe's on the other foot. they're scared of us. >> guest: i think they are, believe they are, and they're very apprehensive when this story broke. i think it was a -- i bet they thought it was a pretext for the americans to come after them. look, take the israelis saying it's a threat. they have hundreds of bombs. who's the threat to whom? the israelis are the ones running the planes out to, you know, out to test runs and running them into greece. if i was the iranians, i'd look closely at that quite frankly, a

chief and he speaks here and there about these papers why don't the even publish one report on the united states why don't we publish even one report on the friends of the united states. iran maintains that its program is meant to obtain nuclear energy for electricity only but the u.s. and its western allies are worried a nuclear armed iran could lead to a regional arms race and poses a direct threat to israel. what most people do not realize that even china and india that are considered less enthusiastic for sanctions are extremely wary because in aggressive iran nuclear iran can threaten hundreds of millions of people in these countries. however because the report fails to state whether iran's efforts have resumed or tapered off since two thousand and three there's still no concrete reason to think it poses a genuine threat likewise the report does not indicate whether iran possesses weapons grade uranium or the capacity to produce it to that and talk of military strikes could be premature unless justifying this type of action was the reports original purpose and that is what everybody is talk

>> the united states is a pacific power and we are here to stay. and one of the messages that secretary clinton, secretary panetta have been delivering, but i am personally here to deliver over the next week, is that there's no region in the world that we consider more vital than the asia pacific region, and we want, on a whole range of issues, to be working with our partner countries around the pacific rim in order to enhance job growth, economic growth, prosperity and security for all of us. and let me just give you a couple of examples. the apec conference that we're hosting here is going to have some very concrete deliverables around issues like regulatory convergence, which permits countries to all think about whether our regulations are as efficient, as effective as they can be, or where are they standing in the way of smart trade. i'll be traveling to australia to celebrate the 60th year of the american-australian alliance, and that will signify the security infrastructure that allows for the free flow of trade and commerce throughout the reg

that's why the united states welcomes it. we've seen that china can be a partner from reducing tensions on the korean peninsula to preventing proliferation. and we'll seek more opportunities for cooperation with beijing, including greater communication between our militaries to promote understanding and avoid miscalculation. we will do this, even as we continue to speak candidly to beijing about the importance of upholding international norms and respecting the universal human rights of the chinese people. a secure and peaceful asia is the foundation for the second area in which america is leading again, and that's advancing our shared prosperity. history teaches us the greatest force the world has ever known for creating wealth and opportunity is free markets. so we seek economies that are open and transparent. we seek trade that is free and fair. and we seek an open international economic system, where rules are clear and every nation plays by them. in australia and america, we understand these principles. we're among the mo

the united states has funneled billions of dollars in military aid to this nuclear country and tensions between the two countries have always existed they came to an all time high back in may when the united states performed a unilateral attack that actually alternately killed osama bin laden and after that there were several protests across the country in pakistan men. dani's want to cut ties with the united states the united states hinted that it would perhaps stop funding or sending aid to pakistan and obviously things cooled down after that but if there is a further investigation into this incident and everything proves to be accurate with nato killing twenty five pakistani soldiers it could have huge huge implications for relations between the united states and pakistan and further ripple effects for politics in this region. there unfortunately this isn't the first time pakistani troops have died nato cross border strike can you give us more of the back row. that's right actually not just last year of united states accidentally killed two pakistani soldiers on the border a

power of the american in the region order came from the united states when the president of the united states and. the opposition. lay down their arms and continued. syrian army the gulf country they're not looking. because they don't have one and the united states cannot talk about democracy because there are crimes in iraq and the other part of the world the visible so here we look at the west is interesting in its interest and keep in the balance they lost iraq they want to compensate for it in syria and now it's actually bush and iraq could play their dirty. to nearby iran now where moscow says sanctions have outlived their usefulness and insists it won't support any additional measures against the islamic state a statement from russia's foreign minister follows the diplomatic fallout in the international community over eight u.n. report it suggested to iran could be developing a nuclear weapon and the policy director of the national iranian american council has told me earlier that the new sanctions would be counterproductive and could damage the world economy. there's two paths h

which is changing so much in favor of iran and against the united states so if the united states doesn't gain anything by this and in fact i think it basically discredits the united states even further because this this on this portrayal of the situation by the corporate media by the united states is something that people can see through that now and you were talking earlier about iran strength in its deterrent capability but we also have to look at. security the importance put on israel's security how threatened does iran feel by all sorts of aggressive rhetoric that's coming its way i don't think that the iranians feel concerned at all. pointed out israel doesn't have the capability to carry out a major attack on the country yet israel is highly vulnerable if you have the israel and support of the u.s. for example it's not just israel here going up against iran. well again three things really one is that the documents themselves showed to the world to public opinion outside of the west especially that this whole situation is based on a dishonest foundation and that will not work to the

the united states is benefitting as well. bs are being created in the united states and not just in china. right now things are out of kilter. that is something that is shared across the board as we saw with the recent vote on the chinese currency issue in the senate. leaders in the region understand that as china grows, as with economic influence expands, that the expectation is that they will be a responsible leader in the world economy. which is what the united states tried to do. we tried to set up rules that are universal that everybody can follow, and then we play by those rules. then we compete fiercely. we don't try to gain the system. that's part of what leadership is about. china has the opportunity to be the same type of leader as the world's second largest economy that will be important not just for this region but for the world. that requires them to take responsibility to understand their role is different now than it might have been 20-years ago or 30 years ago where if they were breaking some rules, it didn't r

if you engage in war against the united states, you are an enemy combatant. you have none of the civil liberties of the united states. you cannot go to court ( applause ) let me be-- let me be very clear about this on two levels. there is a huge gap here that, frankly, far too many people get confused over. civil defense, criminal defense is a function of being within the american law. waging war on the united states is outside criminal law. it is an act of war and should be dealt with as an act of war, and the correct thing in an act of war is to kill people who are trying to kill you ( applause ) >> garrett: governor perry, i would like to change the subject to china. according to u.s. officials, china is using cyberattacks to steal billions of dollars of intellectual property that is critical to this nation's economic success. are we, sir, engaged in financial warfare with china? >> listen, there are some people who made the statement that the 21st century is going to be the century of china and that, you know, we've had our time in the sunshine. i don't be

in addition to discussing this global force posture review by the united states. and these new initiatives in our alliance, the president of the united states and i have had an opportunity to reflect on a number of other issues, to reflect on circumstances in the global economy. to reflect on a clean energy future for our nations and for our planet. to reflect on the forthcoming east asia summit, president obama will proceed from australia to that summit in indonesia, where he spent time growing up. we've had a comprehensive discussion, a very much welcome president obama to australia. i think he's already seen that the welcome he's getting from australi australians, including australian school children is a warm one. i know it's going to be sustained during tonight's events and the events of tomorrow. president obama, over to you. >> good day, everybody. and thank you, madam prime minister for your generous welcome, your friendship and partnership. i am thrilled to be down under. as you may know, this is not my first visit to australia, in fact i first visited aus

government debt, corporate debt in the united states. he extent you had equities, again, you'd want to lever where the growth is, which are the emerging markets. to the extent there is growth the united states would participate. again, you'd want to own big conservative stocks. >> for corporations, obviously the situation gets more perilous for corporations. what do we have flat earnings for corporations or see a decline. >> you can have a decline in corporate profits under that scenario. europe could pull the whole world down and you could have a 4 or 5% decline. >> the reason why we care about corporations, obviously, ali, is we're exposed to them in terms of our long-term investments. >> they are in 401 (k)s, they are employers. jim, great description of the various scenarios. i want to take your temperature on this. you keep your eye on this closely. what's the scenario you think is most likely. does it get worse in europe or level out or start to get better? >> i think it will level out. i think you have technocrat governments coming

ultimately what i want as president of the united states is peace i want to see peace not only for the united states but in the middle east region and around the world, and to be a world at peace i think the united states is the good global leader. we are not perfect. we've made a lot of mistakes, but i think we want to make sure that the united states is going to condition its strength. >> we achieve peace in the middle east with iran as a nuclear power. >> that's difficult, isn't it. >> the mistakes made in the past you are in the white house now. what are you going to do? >> [inaudible] >> there will be likely three scenarios. either elon will make a strike, israel or the u.s. could make a strike. i would hope that it would not be the u.s. the would be making the strike. hopefully no one would make that strike but right now iran hasn't gotten a signal from anyone that they have something to lose if they continue to go forward. the continued to develop not only the enriched uranium, but also the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon. they've continued to go forward unabated in a manner

what would be the best outcome for the united states? think theoretically the best outcome for the united states would be if they found a way to salvage the euro. the euro zone theoretically, as an integrated economic zone is a good idea and if we had growth in the world, between the united states, europe, and asia, those zones of growth, with the common currency for europe isn't a good idea. >> why isn't it. >> because it creates more efficiency in the way they do business simply the way we do in the united states. >> and don't have to worry about currency risk? >> but the creation of the euro was supposed to discipline economies like greece and spain and italy and that's why investment banks thought investing in sovereign debt was the sure thing. that's the problem. the euro has not in fact imposed that discipline on this country. >> and the most depressing aspect of this. europeans are talking about larger bailouts and haircut schemes for things and not talking about the growth. world bank came out with a survey of doing business and

>> that would be absurd to have the president of the united states president of the united states submitemselves to waterboarding. there are those who estimated themselves to it so that they can talk about it and speak about it afterwards. but again, let's look at the context. the united states of america was attacked in an act of war. we lost the twin towers. we lost 3000 innocent americans. flight 93 went down over pennsylvania and innocent lives were lost. the pentagon had a plane flown into and we lost hundreds of innocent lives there. this is a very real issue. i take it seriously. and this president as the united states and as commander-in-chief, i would do what i have to do to keep the american people safe. we are at greater risk now than when president obama came into office because you are looking at the inspect her of a nuclear iran. this changes the equation at potentially change the course of history. >> how do you respond to a person like john mccain who would also say he takes it very seriously and argues that by using torture, which is his definition of the word has actual

what do you think china is going to do what do you think the united states is going to do in retaliation i mean you could start a third world nuclear war by irresponsibly attacking iran the best way to solve the problem with iran is leave them alone they had ventured to build a democracy that we americans destroyed with the british leave malone and the people will develop a democracy and theocracy won't last the ocker seas are of the past ches leave them along the same thing with north korea take out the twenty six thousand american troops in south korea and leave them alone and they'll find their way to a better form of government while you're worried about us energy companies and what we have doing to the united states environments i'm very concerned but also i'm very realistic i came from an oil state and i'm the person that brought about the construction of the alaska pipeline literally singlehandedly i even had to fight the oil companies to get them to agree and then needed to do they did to study the environment so what we need to do is to require that a corporation. for it's to th

china's benefiting from trade with the united states. the united states is benefiting as well. jobs are being created in the united states and not just in china. but right now things are out of kilter. and that is something that is shared across the board as we saw with the recent vote on the chinese currency issue in the senate. and i think leaders in the region understand that as china grows, as economic influence expands, that the expectation is that they will be a responsible leader in the world economy. which is what the united states has tried to do. i mean, we tried to set up rules that are universal, that everybody can follow and then we play by those rules and then compete fiercely. but we don't try to game the system. that's part of what leadership is about. china has the opportunity to be that same type of leader. and as the world's second largest economy, i think that's going to be important not just for this region but for the world. but that requires them to take responsibility. to understand that their role is different now than it might have been 20 years ago or

well, has he been a citizen of the united states long enough to fulfill the requirements to be a united states senator? there was a big fight and finally he was seated, but there was a big fight about it. so with all of that history would be useful for readers to understand and as a way of appreciating just why it was that the election of barack obama was so momentous and why it meant so much to so many people, particularly black people. >> host: i talk to -- and he said we now have no model for this. at the same time, we have to hold the president accountable. in the pages of this book you talk about those who hold the president -- could you talk to me at about your great for the president in this point in time. you are very critical about him. you talk about how racist or giga glee place for him, how he is accessible to whites but yet he is not gravitating as much towards the african-american community. could you talk to me about that? >> sure. point number one, being president of the united states is an extraordinarily difficult job for anybody, anybody. that is point number one. it'

i am a member of the united states congress. i am privileged to serve on the house select committee on intelligence. my father served in the united states air force. my stepfather served in the army. my brother served in the navy. i think for everyone of us, i think we all want to send our best and happy thanksgiving to all of our men and women in uniform who are serving us overseas and also to their families. happy thanksgiving we appreciate, we love you. we want to get you home as quickly as we can. [applause] >> my name is john huntsman. i believe this week that there is much to be grateful for. in this, the greatest nation that ever was. i am here with my wife of 28 years. she was fortuitously sitting in the new hampshire box. we are the parents of seven kids two in the united states navy. twice elected governor of the great state of utah, i have lived overseas four times. three times as an ambassador. i am honored to be here. thank you one and all for making tonight possible. >> thank you very much. [applause] let's get righ

to the environment so why can't we hold our corporate polluters just as accountable here in the united states and surprise surprise the corporate media is again one step behind the biggest story to unfold in the united states in years i guess we'll tell you why. you need to know this it's election day also known as the day when voters across the nation can have their say about the radical anti-american agenda being pushed by republicans at the top of the list issues soon to be decided is the fate of s.p. five who was asked by senate republicans to strip public sector workers of their legal rights to collectively bargain early polling showed the harsh anti-union lot headed for repeal today as a majority it will. iowans told pollsters that they're against the right wing war on labor and they think governor case they overstepped his mandate meanwhile up in maine voters go to the polls to repeal several new laws passed by republicans that make it harder for people to vote these new laws now require voter id been a bit more difficult for people to register and they shorten early voting but in the

next the united states -- >> the united states is much more of an authentic coalition. on the other hand, the united states is directly conceiving the overall strategy and during most of the heavy lifting in terms of logistics, surveillance, intelligence, things like that. >> is president karzai firmly in control? >> president karzai controls a complicated country from his door, as nick, tribal political perspectives, and ask it -- a complicated country from tribal political perspectives. his relationship with the west has been important for him. that said, there really are fears that the once the foreign military presence ens, the country could be plunged back into civil war, and that is one reason karzai and other afghans want to make sure there is a commitment to an answering western military presence, -- to an answering western military presence, but they want to do that in a way that supports their own interests. >> 95,000 american troops, 9500 british troops. >> military casualties have climbed steadily. 2009 and for 2010 were very deadly years as president obama s

mean extremely concerned i'm extremely horrified and i mixed embarrassed over my country i like the united states but by the same token i think my country is an imperial country that is going downhill and our leadership doesn't even acknowledge the problem we spend more in defense than all the rest of the world put together and we're broke one third of our children don't even graduate from high school we're twenty six in the world with respect to education our health care system is a joke and yet we're told oh we have our hands where the smartest were the best in the world this phony triumphalism and it's turned into a device to consummate can still live in fear fear of a bit of a terrorist attack on you as an individual yet you have a thousand times more likelihood to catch cancer than ever be hurt by that and so here in the united states in afghanistan and iraq and vietnam in the year of all these american soldiers have died in vain died in vain and this is a comment that i got from a general he said mike they died in vain look at vietnam today most favored trade nation status it is a still a c
