november because stand your ground has been on the books for seven years unaddressed, unprotested and unchallengedow we are at a critical moment. >> the third thing about education i get that. but first two points are not just us, but how the government responds to us. how do we create the kind of context where the government will be responsive to our needs? >> they have not been -- there has not been a time where black people have not asked for something collectively where they have not been an immediate response to. we wouldn't have had the voting rights act, the civil rights act, trayvon martin case would have never seen the light of day. so many people are saying protesting is old and it's from the previous generation. they haven't protested, they haven't marched. pause we lifted up our -- because we lifted up our voices collectively is why it's become an international issue. >> i think we need more voices. i think we have too many people stand on the side in@(he comfort of their own existence. in the comfort of their own consumption and in the comfort of their own lifestyle and not recognize

he noted unemployment is decreasing although youth unemployment remained unchallenged. at the end of the session, the speaker announces that aung san suu kyi will address both houses of parliament in late june. this is about 35 minutes. >> question to the branprime minister. >> thank you. i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others and in addition, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> [inaudible] does the prime minister shiver when he thinks about what happened? >> i think any hon. lady makes a good point. it is worth while listening to what the director of the imf said yesterday. when i think back myself to make 2010 when the u.k. deficit was at 11% and i try to imagine what the situation would be like today, if no such program had been decided, i shiver. that is what she said. we should remember who was responsible for leading that situation. beveling the national debt, a record deficit, a catastrophic and harridans and one for which we have not had an apology still. >> mr. speaker. the law should be added -- changed to allow employers to fire

that the united states at this stage of history has unchallengable power and therefore responsibility to use it to. make the world over. in the manner that we or the other i think it ought to be made over i think behind the basic neoconservative philosophy is a considerable argand's that american interests are the primary. goal of all american foreign policy and they seem to have a really serious habit of not being interested in listening to what other people say about this subject so i don't think it's an accident at all. so much of the justification turned out to be fallacious. misleading and deliberately so they thought they had a place in history they were going to bring down obviously a very dysfunctional arab peninsula as well as a rant and they were going to change history they believe they won the cold war. and they said i we won the cold war because we were tough with the soviet union we get tough with these people and they're going to become like us it is feared to say that the iraq war was a diversion from from the war on terrorism and certainly meant that people weren't pa

seems to me it seems to me it's sort of the last gasp of of control that they have of sort of unchallenged control and now that women and people of color are demanding a place at the table and for women part of that is i want to control when then if i choose to have children so i can balance my time and my finances and and actually be part of the decision making process i think it's incredibly threatening and it feels like fish that are flailing out of water who who don't know how to try to seize that last bit of control you know mitt romney is getting just devastated in the polls with regard to the women's vote. i'm assuming this is because he's been supporting the republican war on women all along does that mean that he's going to pick a woman as v.p. and as sarah palin ready for another go at it. these sadden me i can't imagine he would pick sarah palin i think that she is kind of worn out her welcome. does he have to pick a woman i don't know who that woman would be you know maybe one of the governors but i feel like as long as he keeps talking about women and having that and specially

they bring up it makes perfect sense but then you hear these talking points that too often go unchallenged but the real problem is that the president is not friendly to business that our tax policy in this country is that business friendly and that's why the jobs are going overseas or that's why companies companies simply aren't even hiring because there's just too much and certainly out there kind of funny because we found out today that the fortune five hundred companies generated a total of eight hundred and twenty four point five billion dollars in earnings last year that's up sixteen point four percent over two thousand and ten that also beats the previous record of seven hundred eighty five billion dollars in two thousand and six which that was during a roaring economy now the two thousand and eleven profits represents seven percent of total sales versus an average of five point one four percent over the fifty eight year history of the fortune five hundred and the companies are also garnering x. . no returns on their capital the five hundred sheaves a return on equity of fourteen poi

after serving in the senate unchallenged for 35 years, he lost in today's primary. the tea party backed richard mourdock. the key to mourdock's success, linking lugar to moderates and the president. >> i have worked with republican senator dick lugar to pass a law. >> what i did was reach out to senator dick lugar. >> if i'm interested in figuring out my foreign policy i associate myself with my running mate, joe biden or with dick lugar, the republican. >> that did not help. the other big reason is out of state money. they poured in more than $4 million. the national anti-tax group spent millions of dollars in an attack ad against lugar. he said that's why he's lost. it's not just happening in indiana, but centrist republicans facing tough challenges from more conservative members of their party. and some of the most centrist members of congress retiring. olympia snowe, joe lieberman among them. are the only people willing to find middle ground disappearing from washington? john avlon is here, michelle goldberg and hoa communications director for rick santorum. thi

with ron paul finally accepting the inevitable and extending his campaign, mitt romney can head unchallengede election in november. but the road ahead could be more challenging than the last six months, and that's because all of us will be trying to figure out who mitt romney will choose to be and how he plans to run against the president. it was shakespeare's hamlet who said these immortal words to ophel ophelia, god has given you one fate and you make another. or in mitt romney's case, another and another and another. we've already seen him pivot towards the center, and it's hard to imagine that as he panders to voters, he'll ever again describe himself like this. >> i was a severely conservative republican governor. >> but the real fear for romney, as evidenced by the two-minute video about the collapse of gst steel in kansas, is that his past is about to come back and haunt him, filling the vacuum between now and the convention. of course, he may try to redefine himself for the umpteenth time, but like hamlet, he may be forced to admit the brutal truth. i am very proud, revenge ful, ambi

for years and years he was an unchallenged force within the republican party, a unilateral king makersigned his pledge, at least until a year ago when arguably the most conservative republican in the senate broke rank. >> but here's -- if people's taxes go up in some way, it would appear to be a violation of the pledge that you signed with taxpayer protection pledge, and this piece, you vow to oppose any debt elimination or reduction of credits unless matching dollar for dollar reducing tax rates. if taxes go up in some capacity, would you not be in violence of that pledge? >> well, i think which pledge is most important, david, is the pledge to uphold your oath to the constitution of the united states or a pledge from a special interest group who claims to speak for all of american conservatives when, in fact, they really don't. >> a lot of people thought he was crazy for launching this fight but he's not alone. in politico, a small but increasingly vocal group of freshman republicans are publicly rejecting the idea they are beholding grover norquist's tax reform plan. there are not

i don't know that because i've learned by being around certain rooms and allowing things to go unchallenged that i should have challenged them and i learned -- >> yeah, but you learned that after doing that, al. >> i'm going to disagree with you. so i've learned that you do -- silence is consent. the audience applauded. this was emphasized by the reaction of the audience. so for him to ignore it is it silence by consent or was he just not wanting to stand up to that audience and show the kind of leadership that even john mccain showed? >> i think you've made, you know, created a choice there. two false alternative choices for the man. he addressed the question in front of him mean did not feel that it was important to give any creedence to the comment about treason. he did subsequently, after being peppered by the press to address that, he addressed it and said, no, i don't believe the president should be tried for treason. so i think in the moment he didn't see it reached a level that he should dignify it with some level of response because the press then followed up. he did. that happens

the ombudsman concludes with saying, the accounts remain unchallenged.'s none of those things. i read the piece. >> of course not. hasn't mr. paxton any shame? >> isn't the point, not just that it is filled with some inaccuracies and falsehoods, but who among us truly wants to be judged by what we did in high school more than 45 years ago? i mean, what's next? >> true. >> are they going to do a front page expose' saying mitt romney was an incorrigible at age 7 and can't hold high office? it smacks of a bunch of political hacks, doesn't it? >> i think there's no question that it's a hit job. i'd like to attack it on journalistic grounds, on what it is, and that's inaccurate all the way there. on open o top of that, his quote completely screwed up, it's the tone of the story. it reminds me of the story "the new york times" did on senator mccain when they wanted to catch him with a mistress near the beginning of the campaign. this is pretty much the same thing. they've decided that romney is an awful rich boy who harassed homosexuals when he was in college,

[ screaming ] >> does he think the press will let him say that unchallenged. [ nbc "nightly news" theme out. romney differed greatly. neither george w. bush nor governor romney backed the bailout of the car industry. there was no help available then. >> yeah. >> anyway mittens mittens, mittens. ♪ you're a lying sack of crack, you are a lying stinking sack of liquid nasty crap. >> all right. appointed! >> appointed! >> not that he was telling the truth so far. i'm just saying that was the biggest stinkiest one so far. and he got a santorum surge for his trouble. we'll talk about that when we get back. >> howard tweeted this morning isn't endorsing you by email the same as kind of breaking up with you my text. >> kind of. it is a very long john dear letter. blah, blah blah blah. romney na. >> yeah.

this traditional supposition was unchallenged until the 18th century age of reason when enlightenment thinkers announced with relief that the origins of the universe were now sign tiffingly explainable. but in the past few decades, science has completely reversed itself on the question of the origin of the universe. after maintaining for centuries the physical universe is eternal and therefore needs no creator, science today has uncovered dramatic new evidence that the universe did have an ultimate origin. that it began at a finite time in the past, just as the bible teaches. chuck colson will be missed but thank god and thank chuck colson that he has left us so much in the way of wisdom that we can draw from in the days ahead. we will be remembering his family and all those who loved and missed chuck in our prayers and with that, i appreciate being yielded to on behalf of chuck colson. thank you very much. >> thank you, congressman gohmert, there were many who wanted to be here and weren't able to, our colleague mike pence of indiana, he wasn't able to be here but he wrote a letter i
