there's also this, as tom friedman phrased with the group of four. and as you just said, you hope you... you thought that was the rush to vote and that there was a... >> yes. >> rose: so what has to happen to get russia 20-to-come around and make a positive contribution now? >> charlie, we have been makin positive... >> rose: i know that. >> our foreign ministers together with head of our external intelligence i slope going to play an important role in our efforts to move the crisis to a political solution and we're not refusing to corporate with others. we hope the united states and others are going to... just one example of destructive... if i may say attitude. several days ago before the veto we made this proposal that the government from damass and opposition groups come to moscow for informal exchanges without fixed agenda but priorities in preparation for a dialogue under the aegis of the league of arab states and there were some rather positive initial reaction from some opposition groups. then they were told to respond negatively. so if this

tonight we talk aboutut syria ad remaining options with tom friedman of the "new york times," joshua landis of the yooufrlt of oklahoma, fouad ajami of the hver institution at anedor a a an marie slaughter at princeton. >> we should have never been there, charlie. we should never gone to the united nations security council. it was delusion and when you hear the secretary of ste clinton saying oh, this was a travesty and when you see our u.n. ambassador susan rice saying this is disgusting, this is amazing and we convinced ourselves, we fooled ourselves we could do libya one more time. libya isn't syria; syria isn't libya. it was a mistake to head to the united nations security council. >> ros we connue this ening with russia's ambassador tohe unitedations, v churkin. >> if i understand our sort of mode of thinking correctly, you cannot expect or you can actual count on it if you're our ally that we're not going to turn around overnight and say, wl, you know, we've had good relations with you over the years but now thanks, no thanks, deal with your problems, we're not going to do anyt

you tom friedman's a billionaire who's a pitch man for billionaires time friedman is nothing more than a corporate shill the mayor tom gallagher of times if you believe in yeah well. i don't know about our rights i mean that's a centrist third party movement that's probably going to be not all that effective and it's i mean it's largely innocuous you think there's like a conspiracy here like a like some plutocrat. you know. for lack of a better of late like a little burg i mean mike bloomberg so pretty centrist guy he's a very he's buying for the billionaires i mean it can cost him seventy seven dollars a vote when there are well it has got lot of money you know so i guess they're going to say well right what will continue that this will actually get into the maybe some debate and stick around president obama's introducing a new corporate tax plan does it have any shot of making it through congress more rubble coming up after the break. we just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old until the truth. i make sense and i am get it that i love rap and hip hop music and. she was

. >> host: market also mentioned tom friedman. not sure you shared her opinion of tom friedman. is want to read a little from "after america." talking about globalization. globalization is some kind of mysterious metaphysical force. that's not the remaking our assumptions about the planet. may the force be with you. because if it's not your just squares bill patio in the rearview mirror of history. hardly a week goes by without the times most frequent flyer finding from a state of the our departure lounge on the other side of the planet marveling at its complementary wi-fi, flight railing, and the way his luggage was brought in by cheery native bears in traditional dress playing some raucous hybrid of gangsta rap on an affordable new expired i box you can wear under your sarong made at a state-of-the-art plant by a small weaker start up back to bite a hedge fund. all of which makes forlorn contrast with a scene that greets him when he glanced back at newark. >> guest: this is like journalism 101. here you are never right. whether you are a global trauma when you graduate never s

as tom friedman has described in his book, "the world is flat," advances in technology, travel, commerce, communication, and broken down barriers between nations and individuals, globalization has had a flattening effect, leveling the playing field for all of us. this hyper connectivity is in powering engaging people around the world, both friend and foe alike. how do we stay ahead of terrorists, spies, and hackers? intelligence will continue to drive our investigations. we must ask ourselves -- what do we know about these threats? what are the gaps in our intelligence? what human sources can we develop to cultivate to fill these gaps? each of us, government leaders and everyday citizens alike, must ask ourselves what vulnerabilities we may have overlooked. we must also place even greater emphasis on partnerships and information sharing. no single agency, no single company, no single nation can defeat these complex global threats alone. in these days of tight budgets, working together is essential. it is the only way to work. finally, we need the right tools to address shifting threats.

america and destroyed our middle class they've watched should cog go school economists milton and tom friedman economic policies played out by the i.m.f. and the world bank and in countries from chile to argentina to what the republican party is doing right now in the united states and they've seen it destroy the state and nation national economies they're smart enough to know that they want no part of our stupidity they'll let us continue to worship reagan in the friedmans but they're going their own way which ironically was the way we went from the one nine hundred forty s. until the reagan revolution back in those days when america led the world in growth and prosperity back in the days before we drank ronald reagan's kool-aid and got stupid the rest of us americans who still want to live in a nation that could provide economic prosperity to a vast middle class we have a big job ahead of us if we don't take back our government and our economy soon by cracking down on job outsourcers by reining in wall street by rolling back the reagan tax cuts and by enforcing the sherman act to break up bi

we see tom friedman's company. he could be a vice presidential candidate. he would be perfect for anybody, a republican or a democrat, given his independent history. there's no question it's going to happen. the question is what impact will it have? i think a right winger would win. it will qualify. i'm very certain of that. and we think about the impact that ross perot had. >> let me ask you this. my frustration in watching this, and i'll say to you, because of what no labels is trying to do, which is is the problem really the executive branch? is that where the two party polarization is the problem? or the is problem on capitol hill? it's congress that has record lows. it's the negative nature between a democratic incentive and they can't seem to get anything done. yet all of the ire is on the radical middle, if you will. how come we're not seeing true third party candidacies step up? >> well, it starts with leadership. it will relate to policy. it's highly unlikely that whoever is on the ticket will talk about policy that goes to simpson-boles idea. it s

he'll be dueling with tom friedman in his head or dueling with david brooks of "the times."." that mental game thing going on in his head. >> that makes sense for a former law professor. a former editor of the law review. there was a joke when his excellent first book "dreams of my father" came out. if things had gone right for him he could have become a writer. he's our kind of people from our world of liking these mental games which is part of the job of the president. >> let me ask you what you think is missing. what's missing for him to be a great rooseveltian or to the extent a reagan-type success transformational president. but if he really wants to move this country, get the 60 votes in the senate when he needs it or break the filibuster, what does he need to do he's not doing? >> there's a challenge. the issue on which he rose to prominence, the iraq war, is part of his natural register. war and peace, america's role in the world and divisions in the country. what ended up being the big issue was economics which is not his natural -- fdr and lbj and clinton in differ

in a recent column, "the new york times'" tom friedman points out that the ongoing was a brainchild of an old mubarak crony, egypt's minister of planning and cooperation. her strategy, friedman says, is to unite egyptians by standing up to the foreigners. she plays this game by taking advantage of a fractured egyptian leadership. it seems she got the military on board by showing them how all these human rights workers from abroad are their most vocal critics. rounding them up would show how egypt's protests are really driven by external forces. in fact, egypt's uprising was entirely local. there were no evil foreign forces at work. america was caught unaware, as were all foreign governments, when the protests started. the real problem is that egypt's old regime is clinging on to power. people like her and the power behind her, the military, remember egypt's last four presidents including hosni mubarak came from the armed forces. and that group remains unwilling to cede control even to the newly elected parliament. many feel the army is now trying to shape a new constitution to its bene

very independent state, former governor kean of men who is independent got me to start reading tom friedman'sbook and columns and mean as two women senators and the girls wonder if you can be a man and a senator. completely different from new hampshire and vermont. when we travel to new hampshire this summer when the flooding was just terrible in vermont and new hampshire everybody came together to help. they truly came together even though murder for montand in new hampshire are quite different. in the parking lot at white river junction all the people were helping with flood victims. i wondered if mark steyn could talk about saint-gaudens national park. >> host: that is south of day. that is a beautiful part of the world. not far from where j.d. salinger used to live. i doubt very much he did three hours with peter in depth because he was a recluse. what i would say about that is everybody knew -- you as a recluse like everybody knew where he lived. they might as well have had a sign on the interstate access, recluseland exit 9. you were talking about the community thing in new hampshire an

. >> read tom friedman's column in "the new york times" this weekend. >> i don't care what he has to. we're not producing as much oil as we did 10 or 15 years ago, and our consumption has not gone done. >> consumption's gone down and production is going to exceed that consumption, brad. and so for -- it's actually going to be exporting oil in another five years if this friend continues -- trend continues which is good because then we won't need to import oil from people that hate our guts. this president has presided over that progress. megyn: all right, guys. >> he's killed the xl pipeline, he hasn't been building refineries, he won't let us -- [inaudible conversations] and let me tell you something, gas is going to $5 a gallon. >> you can hope, brad. you can hope. >> the president of shell oil, former president who predicted $5 a gallon gasoline because of this president's policies two years ago. >> you can hope, brad. the latest predictions, by the way, it's going to go to 5, but it's going to come back down to $3 by november because libya's driving the train on that. not libya, i

and part of that involves, as tom friedman said, the investments we can only make together, and research and develop them in infrastructure and science, technology, and also provided for our common defense. so, that's what always worked for america before. we went on a bad experiment. the motto of pay less and ledbetter is great for wal-mart, but it's not what builds a great republic. >> over on this side. >> my question is for both governors. it is with respect to immigration. immigration is a federal responsibility, but can the states lead the country to a solution on immigration? >> i hope so. i think, i think -- there's been, jeb bush, former republican governor, said that the big failing of the current crop of presidential republican candidates, i think he said it just last night or this morning, is that they have gotten away from jobs, instead they're all about fear and trying to see who can one of the other in terms of fear. one of the central fears is fear of the other to whoever the other is. and the call of your question of new americans, of immigrants the president obama has d

tom friedman just came out with a book. that used to be yes. the last chapter is all about how crucial it is that somebody does exactly what we are doing. if you can speak the truth to the american people and help get them organized, get behind ideas that will change things, you can have, as they say has much impact on the future of our tion as the person who is elected. we are seeking governing authority over the long haul. we are seeking to build a major political party that operates in a different way. we are also seeking to get out as much as we can to get people behind these ideas, help organize people, whether through the electoral system, which i agree with the woman who spoke earlier. you do not do one or the other. you do it all. anybody who complains about the electoral system and how corrupt it is that is guaranteeing their vote is not going to camp. they are part of the problem. >> t more questions. then we will get responses. >> it seems that we are ignoring the reality here. that is that we are the 99%. there is a 1% who are contr

part of that involves, as tom friedman said, investments we can only make together. infrastructure, research and development, science and technology, also providing for our common defense. that is what always work for america before. the model of pay less and live better is great for wal-mart. it is not what builds a great republic. >> more on this side? yes, sir? >> my question is to both governors. it is with respect to immigration. immigration is a federal responsibility, but can the state's lead the country to a solution on immigration? >> i hope so. of bush said bthe crop republican president joe candidates -- they have gotten away from jobs and instead are all about fear and trying to see it in one-upped the other in terms of fears. one of their central fears is fear of the other, whoever the other is. new americans, emigrants. president obama had done more to enforce our borders, more to deport people who are convicted of crimes and britain the public safety. what we need to have is a deeper and better understanding of one another. we need to turn away from fe

tom at friedman on the show and most everybody realizes this is a short-term gimmick that won't growt congress did still over $100 billion from the social security trust fund last year through this gimmick and they will steal another 100 billion next year. >> and the republicans are compromising on it. both sides are doing this now. congressman bachman, i'm curious about the comment about being all in for whatever wins and this being about defeating president barack obama. i wonder if that's just another way of saying that the republican field is weak and there is not someone that you really feel strongly and want to get behind. >> at this point again we are early in the process just like four years ago with the democrats. we saw barack obama and hillary clinton literally giving each other black eyes and calling each other hypocrites. it wasn't pretty four years ago on the democratic side of the ticket. we will coming to and as we have seen, two weeks is an eternity and once our side decides, we will lock arms and be all in together. it's up to the voters now to make that decision. t

they're launching an investigation for more on this i'm joined by brad friedman founder and editor of the brad blog brad welcome hey tom thank you good evening great to have you back with us what have you discovered about a potential investigation into gingrich. well it's not potential it's an actual investigation into gingrich i have confirmed that with both the virginia state board of elections and the virginia attorney general who is actually doing the investigation it was referred by the board of election to the state a.g. ken cuccinelli that is underway and i should also add to add a caution there you said that one guy. submitted fifteen hundred fraudulent signatures in fact that's what newt gingrich has said we don't know if in fact it was only one guy newt called it oh just a mistake but he has not to my knowledge turned over the name of that one guy that's a whole lot of forgeries for one guy don't you think yeah i mean it could be one guy who runs a company that goes out and get signatures and is paid by the signature and he's got ten guys sitting in a room faking them or something like that and or fifty go or
