elected in the countries they were sent having lost elections now to point out the that system is undemocratic doesn't make you and to europe it makes you prove democracy what i find extremely perplexing is you don't like to be told by the e.u. how you should conduct your business even when the e.u. does it in a rather polite so spoken tone but britain has been telling other countries how they should run their affairs and when those countries didn't comply it actually threatened down with war or launched the us war so how do you reconcile those two things and one hand not being willing to be told what to do but on the other hand demanding nothing last the full compliance from other countries around the world not in favor of demanding full compliance from anyone and i'm not in favor of launching aggressive moves but it has been. something that britain has done a lot in the past and since you are such a big fan of the of the special relationship with the united states this is always plays done in alliance with the united states as well. where do you have in mind while i what i have in mind is th

regional trend there were protests and demonstrations throughout the arab speaking world against undemocratic regimes that was not something that was stimulated by external poser. it's an internal process of people who are sick and tired of the tor dri poor and oppressive nature of a military dictatorship why do you think the british government the american government have to intervene to declare one party a legitimate and throw their full support behind the other what happened was that instead of responding to the grievances of the population the regime responded with military oppression and i think that was a very tragic event. as a human being i would like there to be. a peaceable resolution and we're not going to get a peaceful resolution of one side and not the other and the best situation is not to both sides but to. well on that point i would. unfortunately this is all we have time for. time on the part. to build a. mission to teach creation and. this is why you should care only. reverberate through the centuries when vengeance called for blood. and faith in the caucasus. from generati

the party leader says it is undemocratic and hampering their search. if they insist on bringing down the government and the constituents, we say to go to ourou want to referendum, let us go to the referendum. thehey are calling for assembly to approve a new constitution by october 2 allow for action on december 17. the national constituent assembly has suspended its work and calling for the government to sit down and talk. the assembly leader called for dialogue and the political crisis. political crisis. no other killed, details on that in syria. was alsohters seized control of airport. the northern border with turkey. hthe journalist for the financil times says that gaining control of the base will be important. >> i think it is primarily a move for the rebels. besiegeden trying to this for a long time and it has fallen. it is a much-needed boost. it will free troops to go to other parts of the country, trying to capture the base. it is a very large air base. they indicate there are helicopters that have been captured. i think in some ways, the purel

it was suspended from the alliance last year when they decided the paraguay senate had undemocratically removed the country's president. now paraguay is said to be readmitted to the group, which includes venezuela, brazil, argentina, and uruguay. like the eu, it is a common market, but in south america, political disputes have often hampered free trade. these days, eu nations export nearly 2/3 of their goods to each other. now brazil, south america's biggest economy, is looking to unilaterally strengthen trade ties with the eu, potentially undermining the partnership. >> time to check in with the markets now. we have been watching the days trading in frankfurt. >> traders and frankfurt have a lot of computer strength, but also, they follow the development in egypt on tv screens. the state is out of control. this kind of uncertainty has the markets going up. even more important was what came from the united states. u.s. stocks down due to consumer prices. initial jobless claims and output at u.s. factories declined slightly in july, so we had mixed data, but most of the economists assume

and the senator said in the legislature that the headache had been removed, we have seen this undemocratictempt to suppress the vote, spread like a cancer across north carolina. and we're going to cut it out with the power of the constitution, the power of our moral protests. we're already now working with our lawyers, the advancement project and others to plan out and plot out a legal strategy to stop this undemocratic attack on our college students. it will not stand. >> well, i think you know, obviously, after signing the voter i.d. law that republican governor said, look, people have to present photo i.d.s to get onnon an airplane, cash a check. he says our right to vote deserves similar protection. what do you say to him? >> first of all, governor mccoy is way out of line and he's moving contrary to history. he doesn't know the difference between suedofed and the right to vote is protected by the constitution then he did not tell the truth when he swore to uphold the constitution. the fact of the matter is, we have the -- and when you sign, you get a five-year felony. millions of vote

. >> wouldn't we be a bit remiss to ignore the fact that this has been on and undemocratic push, kickingout u.s. ngos. and failing every attendee regions of the peaceful resolution resolution to the civil war in syria. it sounds like you are a bit of an apologist for the putin government. >> i think that you can be a patriot and want peace in the world and recognize that it's with russia and partnership with russia is essential to our national security. i think you have to be realistic. claiming that russia, the litany you just went down -- >> they have not filed attempts to lead a peaceful resolution to the war in syria. >> let me put it this way. we have no business in syria. it is not an attack on the united states for russia to be involved in supporting a particular side in the syrian war. if they want to dissipate their resources by getting involved, they can do so. that is not an attack on the united states. we should not be involved there. the fact that we are trying to use that not as an excuse against radical islam is nonsense. i do not consider myself an apologist at all. i hav

until we have some direct evidence that who is involved we see the saudi arabians who are very undemocratic very much involved qataris who are very much involved in this war we need to get the facts right this time we can no longer just go out there and kill because we're talking hundreds of thousands of people die if the united states gets involved we're talking about lebanon iraq turkey we're talking about all the tire region getting involved in this war we see that different interests are being held by turkey by saudi arabia by qatar by even iraq in lebanon but these are factions we need to get to a dialogue of a national dialogue of peace and reconciliation inside syria and it can happen there are groups that have gone to syria that have done this on small scale and we can do it on a large scale in the country but we have to listen to the syrian government and to those in the opposition outside the country ok a time i will have to leave it antiwar activist from code pink campaign thanks very much indeed for your time here. thank you very much you have. international tensions are running

that is unamerican, unconstitutional, undemocratic, inhumane and totally illegal. >> reporter: bob, acent poll found eight in ten voters here want filner to resign. if he won't, the city attorney said he's exploring other legal means to force the mayor from office. >> schieffer: bill whitaker, thank you, bill. a volcano erupted in japan in spectacular fashion sending a column of smoke more than three miles into the air. today the ash filled the streets of a nearby city. people had to cover their faces to keep from choking, but there were no deaths or injuries reported. lyme disease may be spreading faster than anyone knew, but it's not the only danger from deer ticks. that is next. next. and vermont white cheddar. get 16 grams of protein and 23 grams of whole grain in the breakfast power sandwich. trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breas

nothing is more undemocratic and colonialism. colonies never develop democracy. so they leave these countries without -- they have stunted all the institutions of democracy. then when oil or any other resource becomes available, it becomes a scramble for elites to get the wealth. we also have to look at the international angle. the oil companies are coming to exploit these resources, they are all international. a lot of them exacerbate the corruption. they corrupt local leaders. richard is right. i agree with him. it is a curse of lack of democracy and civil societies in those countries have to work very hard to make sure they bring democracy. the resource itself is not the curse. the absence of management, the absence of democracy is what the curse is. that can be fixed. >> it made me think of -- there is a story that when people win the lottery in the united aids their life ends that going into shambles. they do not know how to manage it. you are saying it is not necessarily resources causing these problems -- problems. as long as they know how to handle them a

countries across europe all peoples are starting to reject the european union which is a deeply undemocratic system that is failed and i think the majority in the european parliament can change next year and it's true that it will be a change in direction which i think will be a good thing if you don't look so your own popularity continues to grow i mean i grew up in paris and i remember when i was a child the national front was really a marginal party that didn't have much support and now it really has become they think france is third biggest party why do you think you've become so popular now. the third maybe even the second maybe even when the european elections come around the number one party that i think we're really moving towards taking power that's what i want you know i'm not here is a bystander i'm here to come into power and apply the idea. is that are mine and i can see are already being applied in other countries around the world i think it's just a matter of it all coming together since a lot of french people are starting to realize that everything's a national front predicte

entities and nothing is more undemocratic than colonialism the colonial is never developed democracy so they leave these poor countries without any stunted all the institutions of democracy and then of course when oil all any other resource becomes available it becomes a scramble for for leads to get the wealth but i think we also have to a good look at the international angle the oil companies are coming to exploit these resources on international and a lot of them exacerbate the corruption in the corrupt local leaders and so i think i reach it is so right i agree with him it's a problem of the case over not of democracy a civil society you see in those countries have to work very hard to make sure that the you bring democracy the results itself it's not because the absence of money and the absence of democracy is what the currency is in one thousand said that can be fixed maybe think of when people there's a story about when people win the lottery in the united states their life ends up going into shambles they don't know how to manage that they don't know how to do this so you're

i want you to understand what that means and how particularly undemocratic it is. and how corrupting of the democratic system it is. they say it's 234 republicans. 118 of the 234 have to agree on something. 118 out of 435 members of congress, right? that is 435, 118. and if 118 republicans agree on something, then the 435 can vote on that. thats's not what they did in the senate, that's not what the afl-cio members of congress. that's not what the lutherans and the catholics and the evangelicals did. they didn't say first my side has to be the predominant side. they compromised because they're looking for a solution. all we need is for them to give us a vote and for speaker boehner to allow a vote in the house of representatives and you will see more this afternoon 218 votes and we can begin to heal the broken immigration system and our nation. that should be our goal for democracy. [ speaking spanish ] that's all we're asking for. you want to vote against it, vote against it. but allow those of us who want to move forward and for justice and for fairness to move f

and anytime you create the downfall of either a tyrant or a democrat through undemocratic military means the restoration of order and tranquility a very difficult thing to accomplish. and so the problems follow you in those cases. now, we may stop covering these things, but that doesn't mean that they're not very difficult and troubling consequences that follow on the heels of these kinds of enterprises. i think that was a mistake to do what we did in libya. and the way he was executed and the thought that we might bear some responsibility for that was more than unfortunate. >> host: and, finally, the political situation in ghana. >> guest: well, kwame wasn't perfect, although i thought he was a marvelous scholar, and i read a great deal of his work very closely and was impressed by it. he had a special connection to the united states, as you know. he was a graduate of lincoln university in pennsylvania, and ghana was the first country in 1957 to accomplish independence which gave the black community and the united states a great deal of pride. and i felt that pride, and i remember watch

proving again the difficulty of planting democracy in undemocratic culture. >> i don't want charles tolode you might want him to go first. >> edward snow den is the winner. clearly he keeps winning as all of this service is really showing how much we needed him to expose the administration. loser is egypt. >> the winner is guido is not northern eye italian delicacy. it's an mammal teddy bear face with the body of a racoon. >> it's new cute. pandas are so yesterday. the loser is the zoo in china which dressed up a dog as a lion. discovered sherlock said i heard that lion bark. >> what was it about the tongue that nobody realized. that's it for the panel. see what happens when you get a little too consumed by your work. of course we will have the results of our poll. stay with us. p>nÑo@ç-Ño/,o w⌞Ñ >> john: some bing highlights for you now from our pulls. all parties agreed with charles that science should be an open forum. this was the highest intensity point. your contract is safe for another week. >> you won. >> probably no surprise. >> i'm humbled. >> you did better than the dog at

that the distinctive feature of the american system is not how democratic it is but rather how undemocratic it is. hear me out. we have three co-equal branches of government and the one with the final say on many issues, the supreme court, is composed of nine unelected men and women. the american senate is the most unrepresentative upper house in the democratic universe with the exception of britain's house lords, which is utterly powerless. california's 38 million people have the same representation in the senate as do by only's 576,000. state and local governments battle federal power. private businesses and other nongovernmental groups are also part of this mix. now, there are aspects of this system that many americans don't like. i think the senate in general is a broken institution from its representation to its absurd rules about filibusters. but the system of checks and balances as the famous phrase goes has in general worked well. the form of government that came out of the french revolution, by contrast, is one of absolute sovereignty. centralizing all powers at the top. since that

they were undemocratic. a change took place.ost of the people in egypt supported that change but what needs to happen is the military should assume its traditional role of being an arbitor of some kind of democracy. the rule of law, elections, instead of going after the opposition and instead of these brutal killings and we're the only country perhaps with a few other that is have the leverage to make them change but let's keep some arsenals in the quiver and we have that with the $1.3 billion in military assistance. again, i mentioned tourism. the egyptian economy's in terrible shape. but we have to get our arab a y allies on the same page. the european union has been helpful. but make that happen stronger. maybe get the united nations security council to get involved, although i'm not sure the russians or chinese would help us in the security council as much as they should. but diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy. leverage through military assistance. but don't do it all without getting something in return. >> and discussions like

that's undemocratic.alize because of the democratic changes they have to change their tactic for the latino voter. one way to signal to the latino voter that they're welcoming them is bypassing some sort of comprehensive immigration reform. >> i think you're morally right. go ahead, congressman. >> we're going to make two arguments. obviously we're going to make the demographic argument. 50,000 latinos turn 18 and they're all citizens. united states. that will continue to grow. this is a very important issue to us. but moreover to the asian community and to a broader american community, we've won the argument on this issue, on its merits. look, the republican party can decide if it wants to be a party of provinces, states, localities, it will never be a national party ever. >> you're right. >> you're right. >> they can never win. >> chris agrees. >> i'm with you. i'm with you. look at that map. congressman, you know it better than i do. that map and the way those congressional districts are allocated are

were these mostly undemocratic regimes saving wall street or invading it?s of special concern. it was new, highly secretive, and the fifth-largest in the world. >> welcome to the beijing headquarters of the china investment corporation, where 180 employees are looking for companies to invest in in the west. how much do you have to invest? >> we have $200 billion. >> $200 billion? >> $200 billion. >> this is the fund's president gao xiqing-- yes, it rhymes with ka-ching. he decided to pour some of those billions into investment houses on wall street. was there any thinking in china that, given the subprime crisis in the united states, that china would come to the rescue? >> some people will try to put it that way. but, you know, at least-- it's not my thinking. >> now, some people consider what you're doing a huge threat. your real intention is to gobble us up, you know? they see you as vultures, really. i mean, i've seen that word. >> or some people say locust. >> locusts? >> the europeans call it locusts. the americans call it vultures. >> "vultures we are

they they want as few people to be able to vote as possible and to me that's an undemocratic. attitude and we've got to fight it and fortunately we've got a president and the attorney general eric holder that are willing to do the best of what they've got now it's true that they are not. who's covered the coverage part of section four. but. that won't stop us from we know where the problems are and we're going to try to make sure that the department of justice has the resources to fight these matters whenever and wherever they arise. the in fact back in one thousand nine hundred during the reagan campaign one of the fellows running that was paul weyrich had and he was also the co-founder of the american legislative exchange council alec which has been sponsoring these want to build a nice to provide real life and he wrote famously said they never quite candidly are leveraging election goes up as the road out hochul scariest out like this is. this is a long time strategy. is this really do you think they have a principle strategy of the republican party to win to win elections.

for decades, egypt has been an imperfect, undemocratic but critical u.s. ally in the middle east. the first arab state to make a cold peace with israel for which egypt was rewarded with u.s. aid. the egyptian military, where u.s./egyptian ties are strongest, has helped fight extremism in the sinai. egypt has been helpful in the u.s. fight against terrorism, a counterweight to iran and in many ways egypt, the most populous arab state, is the heart of the middle east. many analysts believe as egypt goes, so goes the arab spring for the rest of the region. joining us now is senator john mccain. he recently traveled to egypt at the request of the president. senator, you came back a changed man, at least on the issue of whether the u.s. should cut out -- should suspend aid to egypt. what made you change your mind? >> well, first of all, i wanted to give them an opportunity to do the right thing after the coup had taken place. and it was pretty clear, to say the least, that they have not only not changed, but they have orchestrated a massacre, as you mentioned. we don't know, a thousand

if they follow through on these things, it's complete insanity, completely undemocratic.d cnn because of something that nbc's entertainment division is doing and to bar the news division and to rely only on fox -- >> which is, incidentally, producing the hillary clinton biopic or whatever it is. >> by the way, i'm pretty sure if anybody thought a piece on mitt romney would sell advertising on cnn or nbc, they would do it. i thought we were for the free market. i thought we were for business. i mean the other piece of this, though, is increasingly look at all the things you were just listing, alex. as you were talking it made me think basically what they're saying is instead of changing and recognizing the country has changed, we can't do that, so we're just going to, again, limit who can vote, limit when they can vote, limit how much our candidates actually talk to real people rather than saying, hey, maybe the party actually needs to change. >> i was saying this earlier. it's like they have their heads in the sand and are pushing the sand up against their necks and tryin

democratically elected got kicked out by what america felt were badder guys but they kill kicked them out undemocratically, when you look at it that way, isn't it fair to conclude that was a coup where america liked the winner so we don't want to call it one? >> well, a coup is a definition and we abide by our legal obligations. this was obviously looked at very closely by legal teams throughout the administering, but we look at this as bigger than events that happened on one day or what the name -- the name terminology is. we're looking at this about our broad relationship with egypt. and that's the reason we made the decision we did, which was not to make a determination and we abided by our legal obligations. >> thanks very much to you, jen saki. >>> i want to bring in john king who has been following the case and the president. and you heard jen talking about cutting off f-16s and cutting off aid is not necessary. but they are walking a rhetorically difficult line. >> now the president is trying to recover from a bad bet, a bet perhaps he had to make, but a bet. the administration's bet the military w

embarrassment, retaliation, you know, reporting this up because people who have power over them in an undemocratic way. that's the nature of the military, the chain of command. if you're not keeping it in the chain of command, i'm not sure how you get past that culture of fear, i should just keep this to myself. >> this is a crime that will always be underreported no matter where it occurs because of the nature of the crime. but if we look at our allies who change their systems to frankly not protect victims but because they were forced to protect the perpetrators, the accused, reporting has not gone up, david, in any of those countries. reporting has gone up much more in the united states than it has in any of the militaries that have taken it out of the chain. so the issue is why aren't victims coming forward? retaliation? and where are you going to be more protected from retaliation? in our reforms and in the reform that kirsten agrees with, we also are going to make retaliation a crime. but it doesn't make any sense. retaliation is not going to magically go away just because a lawyer a long wa

and, therefore, they're--they're inherently unfair and undemocratic. and so if we're gonna say that--that the atavism of whiteness is--is--constitutes supremacy, then, boy, there's no way i can ever become equal. and that's--that's how--that's why atavisms are so dangerous in a--in a society predicated on equality. c-span: how many s--speeches do you give a year? >> guest: i give less now than i did before, but i probably still give 15, maybe 20. but there was a time when i was doing a lot of that, and i do less of it now. c-span: all the things you do, speak and write and talk, wh--when do you find people changing--do they ever change in front of your eyes and move towards you? >> guest: oh, yeah. yeah. it's a... c-span: and what is it? what's that moment? what's that subject? >> guest: well, one of the things that--one of the experiences i have, and it's probably the most common experience i have now, is that when people do see me oftentimes when i do speak and--and then have a chance to talk to people in person, is that they see i'm not a demon and

it's un-american, undemocratic and we cannot stand for it. so many folks paid a price for this.et how far we've come as a nation. we are a nation of progress, not regression. so again, political affiliation out the door, this is about a sense of fairness. in ohio this should not be happening in ohio. they just introduced a bill, professor, to cut early voting days and take away the last three days of early voting. >> on this point about the folks who have struggled, i want to play again and listen to reverend alma this point about we already have our voter id. lets take a moment there. >> when they ask us for our voter id, take out a photo of medgar evers. take out a photo of viola louisa. they gave their lives so we could vote. look at this photo. it gives you the idea of who we are. >> we decided here in atlanta to make a photo id. this is our medgar evers photo id. we're thinking we'll make one of john lewis, viola, all the civil rights workers. i thought that was such a critically important point. for someone to ask you who are you when you vote? i'm of these people, america

in texas where these states are going in to try to hinder the people's ability to vote, that is undemocraticld not be what we as congress want to take place and, therefore, we need to step in and come with a comprehensive voting rights act that makes sure on insures that every american has the right to vote and not the draconian acts that some of the states are trying to put into place to limit the access to the ballot box to some people. that is the wrong thing to do, unamerican. i would hope that the members of the united states congress coming together collectively will say we do not allow that unamerican kind of act to continue. >> thank you for your time this afternoon. >>> the mayor of san diego has resigned and apologized. is that enough for women accusing him of sexual harassment? we'll speak to one of his accusers, coming up next. >>> in san diego, it's mayor bob filner's last official week in office but he's not going out easy. filner's he's ig nation ends the week's long drama over whether he would step down amid accusations of sexual harassment by more than a dozen women. the cit
