>> my hopes were in vain unfortunately because of mr. netanyahu.ecause he had made an apology regarding the ship and support with president obama and there was an agreement to be paid. there was also some discussion ongoing about the lifting of the blockade. at which point, bombs started dropping in gaza. how can we, at that point, come back to normalization? unfortunately, they demolished it at that point. this is very positive. there is a cease-fire at this moment. but i want to render the cease-fire permanent so that we can establish a new world in the region. since the presidency of mr. bush, we have been supporting a two state solution and that is what we should achieve now. israel and palestine. if we say it will only be israel, it doesn't work. colin powell was tasked with resolving this issue and i said to president obama that we are ready to do whatever we can. we did convince hamas on this point and they, too, arrived at this positive point. the goal should be to stop these killings. if that happens, we are certainly ready for normalizati

because maliki's approach was unfortunately never positive. and maliki kept putting a lot of pressure on his people. and i said this to president obama and when i was prime minister, i also talked to mr. biden about this. and we did tell them about this situation in the region. and unfortunately the necessary steps were not taken to deal with it. and it's if this new government can take these steps then i hope that we can achieve a more swift result and those 1.5 million people in our country are able to go back home. >> do you think that your effort to overthrow and see assad leads ahead of government in syria lead you to overlook the threat of the radical jihadist in syria? >> you were so intent on seeing assad overthrown that perhaps your support went to the wrong groups. >> all of the-- well, let me say very clearly that regarding these terrorist organizations, in that area, we have to think of how they happened, how they came about, these terrorist organizations. were there terrorist organizations when assad was there or was isis there, w

>> unfortunately it is not a surprise. so how do we address it when someone makes a mistake sponsors are looking to increase the image of their brand and they say, okay, they can market budweiser. but they feel that it enhances their overall programs. and it sounds like the league is saying, well, we will deal with this, we will let the legal process take its run, but the sponsors they were not happy with the weight you are doing things and it looks like the tail is wagging the dog and the sponsors are running the nfl. >> the sponsors are providing a lot of money. we hope that the sponsors have their own conscience about these kinds of issues. and even their business relationships, the retailers and distribution systems are employed. it's like this doesn't feel like what are you doing about it. tom: houseparty thing that anheuser-busch will push it? >> i think that they want to see the nfl come out and address the issue openly. and i would hope that i would think that we will do so before the week is out. i have no informa

unfortunately, what we're looking at is politics as usual. it's interesting today that this subject you're talking about, it's all over nbc with every democrat in the world saying congress has to vote and unfortunately, what we've got is no strategy for all practical purposes, a coalition of the united states with a couple of arab countries flying around a total of eight aircraft is not a coalition and unfortunately, what we're looking at now is no answer that is apparent so we, we, the united states of america does not have a true strategy. what we are doing is reacting to a tactical situation and the administration desperately wants congress in the poll of agreement. let's put it that way. so, that it's cover fire. it's sad. it sounds and smells an awful like chicago politics. >> host: all right. mike. take a look at the map of the countries that have joined this coalition. five middle east countries specifically taking part in the aircraft strikes on monday that caller saying that's not really a coalition because it's the university that d

unfortunately our president did not answer that call. on may 11, the president of iraq, al maliki, asked sentcomto strike the islamic state with -- sentcom to strike the lace lambic state with drones -- the islamic state with drones. we were all seeing the uptempo of the islamic state and the rise of islamic jihad. again, the president of iraq asked our sentcom to do drone strikes and take out thes i lack im-- islamic state. al maliki said, i will approve the air strikes. i will get behind you. he was told no. the problem you see wasn't al maliki in the spring. how -- the problem is the president and his team decided not to help when we had ample opportunities. a meeting was held very early on on how to defeat al qaeda, both in pakistan and afghanistan. it was written about by a weekly news magazine author who had the ability to be in that meeting and in that early meeting of the obama administration, meeting both with pakistan and afghanistan on how to defeat al qaeda, they didn't discuss in that meeting. it was very telling, they didn'

>> well, i think, unfortunately, john, it's going to have a very good impact.ng to harden people's resolve and show the message that no country is exempt from the brutality that is isis. that is the the message secretary kerry has been delivering up until now. here we are in egypt where u.s. officials tell us that when foreign travelers are traveling through egypt, they're actually stopping to train or give advice to some of the terrorists. so that's why he's saying that, you know, this is a threat to egypt. of course, unfortunately, you could also send the mes absage warning about this. isis is holding 49 turks hostage. >> now, from cairo, the secretary of state is to go to an international conference in paris to address the crisis in iraq. what's the point of that? >> well,it's just to get some more clarity nailed down on what's going to be contributing what. i think i'm not really sewer how much clarty we'll have coming out of this conference. then, after you have the international general assembly. now, that will praelly be at the top of the agenda. and i t

unfortunately for idealogical reasons, it has become very controversial. there are 41 republicans that have urged a long term reauthorization of the bank. every democrat is for that. that would give us at least 230 votes. and i am hopeful the republican leadership would bring that option to the floor because i believe it represents not only the majority of opinion in the house of representatives but a way to help create jobs and ensure our competitiveness in global markets. >> let's assume that you do pass the resolution funding the government next week and whether it's inside the cr or not that there is this authority for training rebels, why not spend october considering the use of force authorization? in 2002 just before that midterm election, you guys held a vote then and got a bipartisan result. is that just a bad time to do that sort of politics? guest: i think what america is all about is democracy, listening to our people. it's about elections where people come to the polls and make decisions about their country. so frankly, i think you're going to

and we have had unfortunately, two homicides since our last meeting. we had one on nicoles way out in the bay view, at 20 of 10 and last week, homicides actually were working that case. and very sadly, we had a second homicide just last night, at 24th and cap street. and that brings the total for the year, to 26 again, you know, we actively worked this case, our clearances are up and we are hopeful to make these cases as well. and but again, very unfortunate and the vigil that has been held for the young student, from secret high school that has been going on since that homicide, and it will end after the services which will be on thursday. and as far as crime over all goes, crime continues to be, violent crime continues to be down as well as property crime. and shootings are also down, and so, it seems to be a bit of an irony that, you know, with the crime down, but i think that it is important that when we do suffer, fatal violence, we continue to have the conversation, because we have this vision zero with pedestrian fatality and that should be our

unfortunately, we have to pay 250 $250,000 per cab and as mr. margolis said the rent a ride cars as i prefer to call them, at any given time and the city and county of san francisco we just don't know and when you put out 6, 7 thousand cars at a time what you find is you have 100 vehicles being operated by rent a ride companies competing against one cab company or one cab car so i think you need to keep in mind the volume that we're facing riet right now and in fact what we do is -- we are price fixed when these companies come in and do price cutting it's even more damaging than price surgerying price surging. we have a certain priced for fixed and it's not clear to me whether or not people prefer these but we continue to compound the myths that are out there about the responsiveness of taxi cab companies and we can get information out to the riding public that taxis are an important part of the public transportation system and i hope you will continue to provide support for that. it is important that not only do we look at the ability of cab co

but unfortunately they cannot exploit the breakthrough and he is driven back. but it is tried again to days later instead of using the 5,000 men he decides to use 20,000 and cut a hole in the confederate lines but it is unsupported and they are driven back. this tactic is the unofficial tactic to attack but it's on june 1st in do have the time. he decides to form the two lines of verse to go forward and attack the confederate position of the first line is successful the second would move up to still preach from the first is the first is stymied then the second will push up one at a time, one regiment at a time. to allow the federalist to move up over the confederates. june 1st they attack. there is so much success the federal's over the first confederate work. but it is not the same results two days later. what i spoke about earlier with cold harbor talks about the failure of the assault that takes place june june 3, 1864. grand plans was the army he wide assault to take place 4:30 a.m. and that morning the union lines were moved forward in the effort to break

unfortunately, his actions haven't backed that up. in terms of where we are today i think it's incumbent upon the president to present a plan -- i personally think by the way he has the authority in his role to do limited attacks and strikes to defend our country. i think it is right for him to go to congress to make his case to the american people to get the broader authority. so i'm glad they're in the process of doing that. i think it is incumbent upon him to share a strategy with the congress, with the american people about how we'll eliminate this threat, not just contain it, not just degrade it. how we're going to hunt them down and kill them. i think there's ban lot of discussion about the international coalition, partners, what they're willing to do, what they're not willing to do. it's better to have a coalition than not, better to have allies helping us especially when you look at cutting down the financing available to the group, controlling the borders, providing intel and other resources. at the end of the day america nee

unfortunately there are no economies that are getting it all right. it's just a question of who is making the fewest mistakes. that's the best we can do in the world today. but there are countries that i believe represent good opportunities. that is where we invest. and we also look for value. most of the stocks we buy pay yields five, six, seven, eight or 9%. there is a deterrence to the shareholders and they are paid and new zealand dollars over singapore dollars for hong kong dollars or the norwegian krone. we are getting currencies that are not going to be inflated into oblivion and more importantly when we are buying companies we are very cognizant of who their customers are. one of the problems with a lot of u.s. businesses is their customers are americans. where the americans getting the money to buy? they are borrowing it so when the credit stops the customers stop buying because they can't afford to buy what they are buying now. one of the things that is going to happen when the dollar collapses and a lot of people overlook this aspect of it,
