is the flagship newspaper in the united states openly called last we called it out if this is an illegal war the the war was never authorized by the united states congress more than sixty days have passed since the u.s. began bombing libya and we have a law in the united states called work hours resolution which congress passed during the vietnam war in order to try and constrain where make the president and first of all says there any war has to be authorized by congress unless the u.s. is directly attacked and secondly it says that if the prison involves. u.s. forces nostrils those forces have to be withdrawn in sixty days unless the way you are talking about it. and illegal war but i thought it was just a humanitarian mission. well. regardless of the motivation or claimed motivation united states has been bombing libya helping others to bomb so it's a war you support or or oppose it it's still or it's illegal under united states law and this is being openly said new united states it's never been authorized by congress there is now a vote finally exploded expected in the house in the next three days on an amendment by representative conyers there woul

the israeli prime minister who is trying to appeal to congress. >> yes, appeal to congress. he's also addressing his own electorate. this is -- there's a political overtone to all of this in both the united states and in israel. this is a joint meeting of congress, it happens a handful of times a year that a world leader addresses a joint meeting of the u.s. congress. it is an important occasion. at the same time, president obama is not in the country. he's on a european trip. wolf blitzer is in washington also following events this in the nation's capital. and the anticipation is so -- associated with this address by the prime minister of israel. >> it's a rare honor indeed for a world leader to be invited to address a joint session of the house and senate. it's only been done a few times. i'm told that the countries that have had the most leaders addressing a joint session of congress have been britain and france. but right behind them, italy, ireland, and israel, their leaders are invited right behind. it underscores the nature of the u.s. relationship with those countries. the vice president of the united states, joe biden, who is the president of the senate, he'll be there sitting behind t

judge declares at me over their glasses and says now could you please explain to me why the united states congress takes the position and as with the united nations convention on the rights of the child i will also tell you that having written on this subject and spoken on it that i personally take the position and it is the policy of the american bar association as well that if i united states should in fact the its signature to the united patients convention on the child and this would be yet another it simple fly. because i would not want the argument made as is often made that there are protections associated in the u.n. convention that are somehow broad them the protection is provided under the united states law and as a result a child should not be returned to the united states. the area of customer international law and child rights issues is complex. i will assure you that in the most recent meeting at the hague conference that dealt with child trafficking that issue was raised particularly as it related to the alternate pravachol particularly as it related to child trafficking in the cont

as recently as 15 years ago in the united states congress, you had a fair number of republicans in the senate like bob dole, orrin hatch, saying you know what, if we're doing health care reform, do it with the individual mandate. it speaks to the season we're in right now, which every republican needs to appeal to the base of the party, which is convinced the worst thing that ever happened in the country was obama care. if one of these guys like romney gets the nomination, does he change his tune in the fall? >> there was an article that is how you get rid of the free rider program in health care. but how does mitt romney deal with that issue? >> first of all, what he would say as governor is the bill that ends up in place right now is very different from the bill that he proposed. what he proposed was for people to either have a bond or have sort of a catastrophic health care policy. he proposed vast deregulation, a lot more choice, especially in the individual insurance market, and deregulation on the group side. deval patrick comes in and reregulates it. he would say a lot of the co

policy objectives of the united states there are some other contradictions so whatever if you look at it at the time that mubarak tried to shut down the internet there was a whole congress there would have given the president of the united states the power to throw the switch and shut off the internet and in i would say call in case of an emergency. another example that might seem somewhat hypocritical in the relationship to the money being allocated to break censorship in china and iran for example is the treatment of wiki leaks founder julian assange right as executives going to say that's that's one of the biggest irony is a lot said i didn't if you ask me and so for the sake of freedom of speech at the same time washington is targeting julian assange hundred wiki leaks exactly and look at the treatment that they've done to gravel manning you know are there to sensually torturing the german man who has not been convicted of anything but i can still being held in solitary confinement they moved from one person to another. for providing information that is very necessary for people to have the order to have what they would consider to be a democratic so i think this is

broadcast are practically is not so big grow but there are no criticism against it from the united states congress the white house and the government over. and western european countries police still believe. there are zero close allies for example the baltics these are the members of need to. be in the unions their very close allies their steel touchable going to have to soften up a notice to thank you very much for joining us on this holiday and certainly many russians won't let this terrible news from ukraine destroy what has become a holiday full of glory and pride for russia very much of course some twenty seven million people lost their lives in the fight the battle to bring down nazi germany just to give you an idea of that number the u.k. and the u.s. put together a boss told me some nine hundred thousand archies sarra first met with some veterans who first hand saw the atrocities of bringing down nazi germany. it was hell i felt like an end of the world everything was on fire burning exploding all around trees were on fire and weapons were house was burning and crushing noise was terrible

section eight clause eight of the united states constitution known as the copyright and patent clause or the intellectual property clause empowers the united states congress quote to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries there are a couple of things the american founders got wrong in the constitution one was slavery the other was intellectual property i am an abolitionist for both the sick part of government created intellectual property the twisted logic behind this clause securing exclusive rights that is allowing someone to pimp out the force of government to stop others from using their ideas does not promote the progress of science and useful arts. in fact it does just the opposite the very concept of intellectual property is a fiction a scam and it flies in the face of real property rights they are diametrically opposed if you own physical property and you want to copy music on your computer or write down something else out in a notebook or carve a stone into a wheel you don't owe anybody for the use of certain ideas that

the best congress money can buy it's really a tragedy. so i say it's a good thing that's on tom coburn dropped out because given the history of gang rule in the united states congress the end result of the gang of six was likely a few thirty am worthless instead let's go gangbusters and bring back open debate to the floors of congress where our representatives know that they're being held accountable we can see what they're up to and then and hear everything they have to say then maybe democrats will start acting like democrats and more importantly our government will start acting like our founding fathers imagine that would be a refreshing change. as the big picture first and i for more information on the stories we covered visit our websites at town arbonne dot com and our team dot com also check out our youtube pages at youtube dot coms lifestyle big picture and you too dot com slash. ellis entire show is available as a free video podcast i took this and don't forget democracy begins with you when you show up when you participate when you get active that's when it all happens tag you're it. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right. i think

is that you know the united states is constantly at war it is bankrupting itself while others are making a fortune and misery unspeakable misery that we caused the united states congress so many places and you say people kind of walk away from it. yeah i think that's right i mean i think it's important to understand what motivates people's participation ordinary people's participation in sort of mass protest events and what gets them. mobilized to get involved in politics and really it's a sense of threat and it was during the bush years that people felt very strongly cutely threatened and they felt strongly to do something about it whereas now they don't feel quite as threatened and that's why they don't participate as much angelino like to it so is he he got i'm sorry go ahead but the way that i like to explain it is that there are a lot of issues that i take positions on where i disagree with my government so for example i might disagree with my government's policies on criminal justice and i do and i disagree with my government's policies on the environment but i often don't find myself mobilized to action on those issues now that the war was an issue that i perso

but it would take about fifty years for this agreement to be fully ratified by the united states congress that's because lawmakers for decades were worried that the bretton woods treaty this in particular republicans by the way was part of a worldwide communist conspiracy to create global rule there were also worries the treaties are inherently dangerous since our constitution says the treaties trump federal and state laws and thus the minute the sovereignty of the united states he's taken very seriously and after enough time corporations with their newfound personhood are gaining more and more influence in the halls of congress and when these corporations look at free trade they saw nothing but dollar signs you cheap labor pools neumar emerging markets who cares of america was for outsourcing these corporations would be reeling in nassif profits and profits not patriotism or the name of the game so after fifty years in a member of one thousand nine hundred four with heavy pressure from trans national corporate campaign donors our congress ratified the bretton woods agreement and the fina

the united states congress, for whatever reason, decided in the fiscal year 2011 budget decided to nottinue funding for that. that's a difficult situation -- that's a dangerous situation. it was the only way i had to reach out and touch individual facilities of concern and make sure i understood the risk environment associated with those facilities and engender and foster planning, training, and exercises with specific targeted money between those facilities and their local law enforcement community and first responder community. without the program, we have no means to target individual high risk facilities with any aspect of the federal government that i'm familiar with at this point. host: our guest is dhs formally is, assistant secretary. give a brief explanation of what you do now. guest: i am a homeland security consultant. my goal in life is to continue to work in this subject area and knewort the mission i love and loved dearly. strategic planning, support, working with the federal government, state and local government, and the private sector. host: massachusetts, democrats li

folks, when we talk about how, we the united states congress, we, the u.s. house of representatives voted to save medicare in the 2012 budget proposal, we talked about saving it by providing choice. my colleagues are exactly right, we did that in 1997. and can we save it by providing more choice. we added medicare advantage but didn't get much further than that. this is that next step, because we know that choice matters. we know that choice matters. the gentleman who held my seat and been retired used to tell the story of his mother in upstate minnesota and every tuesday she would go to the doctor with a group of friends to make sure everything was ok. just to get checked out. one day, a terrible snowstorm, wind was blowing and snow was piling up and they got together on tuesday and edna wasn't there. and they called around and asked around and turned out she wasn't feeling well and couldn't be there that day. you make different choices when you are not responsible for the bills. this isn't just a medicare issue, but a philosophical difference between these

what should the united states congress and the president do to make it so that you don't have to do thisell, i think the congress and the president should look at this decision. i think locally here in this state, we should have more tougher penalties on the employers, right now it's just a civil offense, so i would like to see that happen, maybe it will now after this decision. but you know once again, 1070, no 1070 or these laws, we have been doing it anyway in three years, thousands we have arrested, my office have, so we have the laws on the books, let's enforce the laws. >> as you know your critics and they include the united states justice department in this administration, say that you're not following the law, that you're profiling. >> they have been investigating me on that matter for 2 1/2 years. we don't. and if they want to keep investigating, okay. but that's not going to deter me from doing the job. i think i have proven that in the last two years. so they can investigate me. i have been a top law enforcement official federal, i know how the system works. but let's not thro

integrity of the nlrb, an attack on its ability to make decisions and enforce the law as the united states congress has instructed it and required it to do based on decisions involving the facts and the law alone. the nlrb is part of our nutritional system, part of our justice system, and it should be given the opportunity to do justice in this instance. it should be given the opportunity to protect fairness and peace at the workplace which is ultimately its mandate and its very solemn responsibility, its tradition and its mandate from the congress is so protect jobs and to foster economic growth by maintaining peace and fairness at the workplace. and these priorities should be shared by all of the country. i certainly believe and hope that the people of connecticut want fairness and peace in the workplace, as we do in our workplaces. the nlrb, very simply, should be given that opportunity to do justice here without improper or inappropriate interference by members of the united states congress or anyone else, and my hope is that it will be vindicated and that the attacks will cease and that it wil

in closing, i am humbled by the opportunity to serve in the united states congress. i think we owe it to the american people to ensure that the opportunities of our generation are there for future generations. i think we owe them a humbler government that learns to live within its means and values the entrepreneurial drive of our people with policies that on leash the awesome potential of our economy. for those of us in washington, i think this has to be our focus. this must ensure that our economy is back on track and the american dream is restored. there can be no rest. it starts with freedom. in america, it always has been. this is the moment -- this is the opportunity to deal with our long term fiscal challenges and we cannot let this moment pass. thanks for the opportunity to be with all of you tonight and i look forward to your questions.

the gentleman from florida. >> in closing let me say that the united states congress does set the policies for engaging in war and hostile actions. the secretary of defense is clearly given the authority here to provide again applicable provisions for how this would apply. mr. mica: let me say that in closing, our troops, our service men and women should not be used at target practice in any hostile theater and they should be given the right to basic right to bear arms and defend themselves. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from florida. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the noes appear to have it. >> i ask for the yeas and nays. the chair: does the gentleman ask for a recorded vote? >> yes. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from florida will be postponed. the chair: if there is no objection the committee will rise informally. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the chair

the united states. more than one member of congress has said that. and that really plays into the president's decision. we have agreement, but from both republicans and democrats, many who say the president's call is the right one, and those who were supporting the release,

i would want to provide the united states congress, the american people by way of the united states congress to provide the recommendations on the way that he in this case, the way he sees fit on better organizing the intel community. with a very heavy respect for the ranking member, i still urge my colleagues to support. the chair: the gentleman from new york reserves his time. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. ruppersberger: i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from maryland yields back. the gentleman from new york. mr. gibson: i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from new york, mr. gibson. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the amendment is agreed to. mr. ruppersberger: i request a roll call vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by mr. gibson will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment 6 printed in house report 112-75. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland rise? mr. ruppersberger:

wasn't a single doubt in your mind after being before this congress of the steadfast bipartisan and genuinely enthusiastic support of the united statesthank you. >> mr. prime minister, it's an honor to join my colleagues and the leadership of this congress to welcome you once again to the capitol of the united states -- capital of the united states. as you know just two weeks ago we had a bipartisan delegation visit you in israel where we shared the experience of the day of remembrance and bursting forth in celebration for the establishment of the nation of israel. two weeks ago, one week ago here in the capitol, under the dome, we had the day of remembrance for -- of the holocaust. the prime minister very eloquently tied all of these things together speaking about the importance of a jewish state in the middle east. mr. prime minister, i think that was clear from the response in your speech that our colleagues on both sliles, from both sides of the capitol believe that you advance the cause of peace. both sliles, both sides of the capitol believe that you violence the cause of peace thank you, mr. prime minister. >> thank you. may i

and sometimes they get real angry like each other like when we banned french fries from the united states congress. remember? but we didn't go to war with france. we banned french fries. ok, we can deal with banning french fries or if they want to ban pizza. you can't ban pizza. my grandmother would turn over in her grave. the reality is that that is a correct view of what america can contribute. it is an absolutely correct thing for america to offer that to the world. doesn't mean we can intervene all the time. it doesn't mean we have the resources to intervene all the time. it does mean we can always help. you can help the spread of freedom and democracy without intervening militarily. sometimes you have to. it matches be the rare occasion. we didn't have to intervene militarily in poland, but poland is now free. how do we do that? we did it by supporting by giving them more support, giving them other forms of support, like information and ideas and being on their side. that is what we should be doing in iran today. it is inconsistent to me that we would call for the ouster of gaddafi who surely

. >>> also this morning israeli prime minister will tell the united states congress israel will never return to its old narrow borders. the prime minister's address to congress comes just days after president obama's speech where he said that peace talks between israel and the palestinians should start with pre-1967 borders and also include land swaps. at a meeting of thousands of american jewish supporters yesterday he reaffirmed his position that the old borders are indefensible. >>> overnight nato war planes launched more than 20 air strikes against targets in tripoli, libya. you can look off in the distance there. keep watching that smoke rising and watch the light. that's right near libyan leader moammar gadafi's compound. the nato attack was one of the heaviest against tripoli since the nato mission started just over two months ago. >>> we now know the name of a man gunned down in antioch over the weekend. police say 19-year-old harold of antioch was shot and killed on sunday. it happened on d street shortly before 8:00 in the evening. he later died at a local hospital. and it's

not a lot of people in the united states congress knew. this is not a -- this is not something you run around including lots of people in. >> there was a time a couple of years ago where we shared more and tried to trust more, before 9/11, with colin powell and musharraf. >> yes, you're right. and i think over the course of the last year we have run into some difficulties. the relationship has been tested. we had the raymond davis incident. we had some politicians in the country, in their country, in pakistan, grossly exploiting this for their own benefit at the expense of the united states. i think that made a lot of people recoil. and begin to ask some of the questions that you're asking. and the answer is there has been a level of uneasiness in the relationship between the isi and the cia. now that said, pakistan has also allowed us to do a lot. we have been allowed to have a lot of these people on the ground who were able to do some of this tracking and analysis. we have been allowed to do a lot of drone strikes, which, up until now, p
