you were actually saying that are you actually saying that the united states over the last ten years has been moving in the direction of free markets we've had the most incredible explosion of government spending government intervention bell outs handouts subsidies i mean this isn't neo liberalism and a classical liberal sounds this is neo says it is ok to. break real quick gentlemen after a short break we'll continue our discussion on currency wars stay with our. repairing a broken. highway construction humanitarian aid. budgets. the official get the spoils of war it's the people who pay the price. the cheering here is no longer just down to drug trafficking. the dollar. down the official anti allocation. i pod touch from the. life on the. video on demand. will come to. an r.s.s. feed now in the palm of your. mission on the dot com. welcome back to cross talk i'm purely about remind you we're talking about currency manipulation. but before let's see what currency russians choose to save in congress award the term coined by guido montecito brazil's finance minister is unfolding the w

haitians in the united states. non-governmental groups have to play an important role because the haitian government is extremely week and doesn't have a great, a great deal of capacity. but in order to get to a point where it has greater capacity to deal and resolve its problems, i think non-governmental groups can play an important role. so you have to figure out a formula, ah, for all of these actors, ah, to work togeth. >> ray, should the s. gernmt step aside d let others take the main responsibility in haiti? >> i think we have to play an active role. clearly, american tax-payer dollars are at work or involved in haiti. we have to have accountability. we have to have transparency. we have to combat corruption. ah, we cannot be, clearly, indifferent to what we're going to do. we've pledged to, ah, support with several, and i think the current supplemental is about two billion dollars. ah, that's almost the rest, that's almost equal to what we're spending in the rest of latin america. how we're going to continue

has implications for the united states. it's difficult for the united states to disengage from those, those, uh, those issues. and one, one last way of thinking about the security, is that while we are at some distance and so the horn can be of a secondary level of concern, it is not secondary to allies like ethiopia, egypt, saudi arabia, kenya, who are very concerned about what happens in somalia. >> dan, you're chafing' at the bit. >> well, i, you know, i accept the validity of the humanitarian interests. but i think that was pretty much satisfied about 1992. >> oh, there's tremendous humanitarian interests... >> sure it is. that's because they keep fighting. and one of the reasons they keep fighting is because we keep helping them fight. for example, in late '06, the united states provided intelligence, air support, and arms for an ethiopian invasion of somalia. somalians hate the ethiopians, and so there we were, come rolling into somalia with, with ethiopian troops. as far as i'm concerned, our role there has exacerbat

recoveries facilitated by the united states you also have nato was mentioned and the e.u. is also a project that benefited a lot i think from from american policy and then finally there's the world trading regime which is a very important institution for knitting together disparate. societies and economies in the u.s. played a leading role in all of those except obviously for the e.u. which you. played a facilitator of but certainly certainly did. so that's one thing the second thing is that the fact that a statement is arrogant and that it. causes negative reactions around the world does not mean that it's false. mean that said in a different way unless the west's. you know assertive or aggressive way but it doesn't mean that it's false. the third thing to say is that let me jump in here a bit we ok if i can just say something about woodrow wilson i mean would your wilson said in a speech in philadelphia that there is such a thing as being too proud to fight it was not too proud to attack mexico twice and in fact he did get involved in the one but what he did do was to su

when the united states and when the united states fights the war in afghanistan and iraq it does the same thing. it borrows money to fuel this context. there is an economic stimulus that comes from spending on the wars in iraq and afghanistan. now, it's not as direct and as great as was in the 1940s because much of it is spent in other countries and doesn't find its way back to the united states. but there is another element that is poppy more central, and that is when the united states borrows money today, instead of borrowing money for the future american generations it borrows money from foreign countries. and if you're simply barring for future generations it's a bit, we owe ourselves. yeah, one generation owes another but it gives no foreign country any particular leverage. or to put it another way, by and large the interest of the creditors in the interest of the debtors align come if they are all american. but if the creditors are the bank of japan and the bank of china and other sovereign, then it's unclear that the interests the creditors are lineditst of. when the united st

they didn't go ahead stephen you know the united states has been the prime united states of their primary supporter of dictatorial regimes in the middle east and elsewhere in the world for many many decades we've even overthrown democratic governments like of mohammad mosaddegh and the jury right in the shard with his brutal socks secret police we armed and trained you know that this is a no for in a democracy even during the bush era that was just window dressing their enemies of iraq was about oil and empire it didn't have anything more to do a democracy than it did about the so-called weapons of mass destruction. that the bush administration's allies fabricated you know the reality the reality. he talked bush talked about spreading democracy for damascus to tehran well i think we all agree that syria and iran could use more democracy he didn't talk about spreading democracy from riyadh to cairo and in fact under bush we increased our security assistance to oppressive regimes which. which use these security assistance to suppress civil society organizations struggling for democracy and

to the united states.the historic normalization of relations between the united states and a peoples republic of china. on that day, dung ping talked about the cooperation between our two nations. [speaking in native tongue] >> looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear the previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries. the 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding. and with this visit, we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years. [speaking in native tongue] >> at a time when some doubt the benefits of cooperation between the united states and china, this visit is also a chance to demonstrate a simple truth. we have an enormous stake in each other's success. in an interconnected world, in a global economy, nations, including our own, will be more prosperous and more secure when we work together. [speaking in native tongue] forei [speaking in native tongue] >> the united states welcome back china's rise as a strong prosperous and succe

first all right before they were right on the eve of the visit of the chinese president to the united states and tim geithner joe a few days before through the chinese a bone as it were saying you know well maybe we'll consider our ban on selling high technology. products to china as kind of a you know a sweetener to kind of nudge the chinese along to appreciate their currency a little bit faster do you think this is the chinese will bite i mean is this just a snow job because the u.s. doesn't have a lot of leverage here. first of all clearly more and more the chinese are in the driver's seat so there can be no doubt about that actually even independent research association based in the us in new york maybe mike it and also tell us something about it if you know them that's the conference board they recently came out is a projection of saying that china at the size of the chinese economy in real terms of physical production terms when you adjust the currency for the undervaluation of on the purchasing power basis then china may overtake the united states next year to become the number one ec

some of the complaint that we have will go away. >> rose: we conclude our look at china and the united states with kenneth roth a guest at the state dinner and talked to the chinese about human rights. >> change is going to come through local activities in china. and the u.s. government needs, in my view, tobe seen asn th side of the lol efforts. itan't do that b having qet convsatis in the foreign ministry. >> rose: finally, this evening, an appreciation of my great friend, reynolds price, the brilliant writer, who died this week at his beloved duke university. on this evening, we take a look at chinese-u.s. relations, and remember reynolds price. when we continue. funding for charlie rose was provided by the following: maybe you want school kids to have more exposure to the arts. maybe you want to provide meals for the needy. or maybe you want to help when the unexpected happens. whatever you want to do, members project from american express can help you take the first step. vote, volunteer, or donate for the causes you believe in at membersproject.com. take charge of making a difference. a

what is regulation, and are we doing it well in the united states? for example, in 1991, we adopted a very strong bank regulation system, the fdic, uh, improvement act, uh, called fdicia in the united states. and that did not prevent us from having what was, in effect, a huge banking crisis in 2008 and 2009. uh, the, so, if, if we are supposed to be having a, a world leading regulatory system, we oughta rethink our regulatory system, so we are doing it right. my sense is, the only effective way to have a good regulatory system, is to make sure that the regulators cause financial institutions to be more transparent, uh, require more information about financial institutions to be distributed to the public and to investors. it's investors, especially creditors, who take most of the risks associated with, uh, financial institutions. and if they don't know what's happening there, the belief that the regulators are able to follow, uh, financial institutions and the risks they are taking, actually creates moral hazard. so what we wanna do, i think, is make

democracy is on the march it's not recognized at least by the united states and its allies and then the united states has been a huge impediment to democracy in the arab world since its inception since independence so what is its track record. its track record is very negative as many serious american historians admit themselves through of the cold war period when the big enemy was communism the united states not just in the middle east but also in south america was prepared to tolerate tyrants to date. butchers of their people because it's very cross with the end of the cold war. humanitarianism became one of the ideological pillars except in those countries where it wasn't convenient so we've seen in the middle east in particular. the dictatorship in egypt which appears to be collapsing as we speak which has been there for the last twenty five to thirty years we have seen regimes over twenty years long in the matter of b.m. countries to morocco algeria we've seen the toleration of a completely authoritarian brutal monarchy in saudi arabia jordan itself has been reduced to the status o

and so no one is certain that the border between the united states between the united states and canada, but in the republic and the entire is fixed and permanent on the contrary most people assume that it's either going to move north or it's going to move south rather than stay put. so the people who live on either side of the border are regarded as in play in terms of their allegiance, and though war is to be open to the possibility of switching their allegiance. deep within the republic, the politics are so bitterly partisan that the republicans regard their opposition, the federalist as crypto loyalists. in 1812 a writer explained that ideology rather than nationality distinguished the north american republican from a north american loyalist and these people could be found on both sides of the border, both republicans and loyalists. quote come as much as people of the two nations resemble each other and face, it is notoriously evident that there are some in america whose souls are perfectly british. and it is believed that there are some in britain who are americans at heart. it is

not just an economic multipolar world, but a military multipolar world word relative terms, the united states navy gets smaller in the seas. and not go into that a bit later. notice they talk about the indian ocean on the western civic as one unit. they are united in the strait of malacca, the lombok street and other indonesians. but in the 21st century, were liable to see other forms of bringing these two bodies of water together. there've been feasibility studies for building a canal in its massive cross in southern thailand, a $20 billion project that equaled the panama canal is an engineering burkle. dubai port world is doing feasibility studies for lan bridges across the malaysian pendant to. and the malaysian government help for studying various land rich schemes. the point is they will be more connection points between the bay of bengal and the south china sea. that is from the eastern indian ocean in the southwestern part of the pacific ocean. so will be one or can it, bringing especially middle eastern hydrocarbon to asia. and why do i emphasize maritime affairs so much? it's because

hamas, hezbollah and other challenges not only to the united states, but the western world around themothers and wives should be listened to now. the list that mek and let them -- let them take the voices of freedom to the street and do what they need to do to bring freedom and democracy in the kind of iran that would live in harmony and the peaceful coexistence with its neighbors in the region and the rest of the world. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, governor, very, very much. from 1997 to 2000, general anthony served as commander-in-chief of the united state central command. he was elected in 2002 as a special envoy of the united states to israel and the palestinian authority. if there is anyone who can speak with a nonpartisan authority over the reality of the situation in camp ashcroft, and it would be general. general, welcome.

a vast majority for the produce and export comes to the united states. the great opportunity we have as the expand their oil sands research in canada much of that will be sent to the united states to the development of pipelines and through expanded refinery capacity is in the united states. recent economic analysis has shown that we could create 340,000 jobs in the united states by the year 2015. over the next three or four or five years, we have an opportunity to be a sycophant economic engine to help stimulate the recovery to read these our will pay highly sought-after jobs and again what leads to the political will provide the opportunities. >> why are gas prices in your opinion rising right now and what is your prediction in 2011? >> we have no prediction as it relates to gas prices we don't speculate on that. the gas price is a function of the price of crude oil. the pressures on crude oil are due to the demand around the world. the prices it on a global basis. you look at the increased demand coming out of china and other parts of the emerging wor

what's interesting about the united states is g.d.p., the overall output of the united states, is now above the precrisis level. but unemployment is still roughly in the range of 10%. >> rose: why is that? >> it's partly because of the way the u.s. economy works as a whole. where you saw in the crisis because people were, frankly, panicked, that the world was going to come to an end, you saw american companies cut deeply into the payroll base, the employment base, with just brutal force. and they have been more tentative because of the scale of-- because of the aftershocks of that trauma of bringing those people back to work. you've seen hours start to increase early. the more hours they asked people to work, part-time work came back early. but you saw people tentative of. permanent. we had job growth faster than the last two recoveries. so i think that's encouraging. we're healing now, and that's going to start to improve. but a recovery that follows a crews like this, you know, a crisis that is the legacy that resulted in part by too much borrowing by households and the nation as a

exceptionalism yes united states is. because of its prison inmate population is quite exceptional death penalty not too many countries in the world have that exceptionally bad health care maybe that will change social inequality public education none of these things are particularly proud beacons in american society right now if you compared to other countries i go to peter on the out there i mean all the things that we used to be so proud of in the united states there are a lot of them are lagging and blocking very badly. i would agree with that. and i would say as. we say in our book that excessive exceptionalism. has two sides of the coin there are some very bad ways in which we are exceptional as well as many good ways so i would not contest that at all what i would say is that the united states is unusually. it's usually strong in its self-criticism. for all the arrogance that may be perceived abroad the united states the mescaline is a very very self-critical people and so the the the process sees the political pro

we have helped lay a foundation for cooperation between the united states and china for decades to come. we look forward to hosting present hu jintao in a state dinner tonight to share our hopes for the future. president hu? >> friends from the press, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. first of all, i want to express sincere appreciation to president obama and the government and people of the united states for the warm welcome accorded to me and my colleagues. just now, i have had talks with president obama in a candid, pragmatic, and constructive atmosphere. we had an exchange of use and breached important agreement on china-u.s. relations and international and regional issues of shared interests. we reviewed relations of the last two years. we positively assess the progress we made in dial-up coordination and cooperation in various areas. -- in dialogue, court nation, and cooperation in areas areas -- in dialogue, coordination and cooperation in the various areas. as mankind enters the second decade of the 21st century, the international situation continues to undergo profound chan

are rising up to have a stronger voice and to take a greater responsibility because i do think united states. it states and with that comes a great responsibility ok godfrey i mean again i'd like to jump in here we're going to go ahead and then wally in addition. ok in addition to the examples of world war one and world war two in the postwar recoveries facilitated by the united states you also have nato was mentioned and the e.u. is also a project that benefited a lot i think from. the world trading regime which is a very important institution for living together disparate. societies and economies in the u.s. played a leading role in all of those except obviously for the e.u. which you. played a facilitator of but certainly certainly did. so that's one thing the second thing is that the fact that a statement is arrogant. it causes negative reactions around the world does not mean that it's false. mean that been said in a different way unless. you know assertive or aggressive way but it doesn't mean that it's false. the third thing to say that let me jump in here a bit. if i can just say som

of the united states and of the state wherein they reside." critics argue that the 14th amendment was intended to apply to newly freed slaves, not children of illegal aliens. their solution some. >> i think that at least one parent should be in the country legally before we automatically make all of the children instant citizens. >> 14 states are looking to make that solution a reality. lawmakers from five states unveiled measures this week to deny birth right citizenship to children born without at least one parent that is either a legal citizen or legal resident. nine other states will soon follow suit. the total list, abama, arizona, delaware, idaho, indiana, michigan, mississippi,' montana, nebraska, oklahoma, pennsylvania, texas and utah. the goal is not to change the 14th amendment in state legislatures. the inherent behind the state measures is to spur a legal challenge that will beresolved before the united states supreme court. question. as a practical matter, how can individual states deny birth right citizenship to infants. pat? >>

national security council members of the opposition have asked the united states to be more critical of the violations of civil rights taking place in russia but not bush like critical now those who have already bill been present at such meetings at the u.s. embassy in washington have seemed to change their opinion as well previously during the bush administration they have asked the united states for a softer criticism towards russia while members of their position also seem to believe that the recent reset of relations between russia and the united states have been has been a bad influence do human rights activists is specially in the north caucasus they're saying that after the murder over the bodies to meet or had over chechnya ramzan could there have as many given given carte blanche for other murders and should be recognized as a persona non-grata by the united states where mr mark for has said that he doesn't see that happening and those are all domestic issues and there's no way that the united states is turning a blind eye to the human rights violations in the country and th

he attacked the united states. he attacked the olegarks as squealing pigs and degenerates, and they voted for him. and it was very ethnic. it was explicitly ethnic. he called himself the indian from berinas. his biographer focused on his chinese-looking eyes and thick lips, and people said, we want to vote for somebody who looks like us, who's one of us. and the results, i think, have been disastrous. >> go back to that dinner party up in new york with your friend malan who is really somebody else. what was the end of the evening by the time the evening was over? did you agree on why people hate us? >> no. i've been in many arguments about this. it's obviously -- this was shortly after september 11th and emotions run very high, and she, i think, represented the position of many people of the developing world, which is while not -- certainly not necessarily condoning the attacks, she was nonetheless very sympathetic towards the terrorists and understanding of their motives for doing such a thing. and that particular

only flying over the united states.o we have got to point out all of the potential risks to be able to take action to correct it. our discussion with homeland security have been more than just the security that security is the safety of people is going to be a priority for canadians and americans and we are working on ways of working much further away from the borderto keep citizens safe and i think that is an extremely important in terms of what we are doing. on refugees that was one of our perceived weakness is in canada, the fact that it took up to five years to add to the cade a refuge case in canada and they are not necessarily be known whether they were after a couple of years and in a minority parliament there was a law passed in canada the americans are very impressed over which has a much shorter time frame than for agitation, which on the left i guess if you oversimplify is faster and on the right is more secure because you are tracking more effectively and that is why three of the four parties in parliament v

he comes to the united states. he is able to express whatever he feels like in a the animus or rhetorical way. that same opportunity -- in a venemous or rhetorical way. there is someone who would love to come to the united states. [applause] the inconsistency in policy is pretty difficult to understand. that is why the designation needs to be lifted. in the 20th century, our enemies were evil. we all agreed they were fairly rational. they cared little for him alive. they cared a great deal for self preservation. those realities allow for a window of compromise and negotiation to exist. today, i do not think any exists which iran. we are fighting an ideology. not one single ideologue. our relationship with allies has evolved over the past 30 years. with the passage of time comes the need to consider, in one form or another, different strategies. it is all right to deny each and optimistic. you take an approach -- to be naive and optimistic. at the end of the day, should you say to yourself, we need to change our app

we enter not just an economic world but a military multipolar world where in relative terms the united states navy gets smaller in these seas. i will go into that a bit later. notice i talk about the indian ocean and the western pacific as one unit. they are united by indonesian straits. in the twenty-first century we will see other forms of bringing these two bodies of water together. there have been feasibility studies for building a canal in thailand. $020 billion project that will equal the panama canal as an engineering miracle. dubai is doing feasibility studies for a land bridges across the malaysian peninsula and the malaysian peninsula suffering various land bridge schemes. there will be more connection points between the bay of bengal and the south china sea from the eastern indian ocean and southwestern part of the pacific education the ocean. one organic continue one bringing middle eastern hydrocarbons to asia. why do i emphasize maritime affairs so much? in this information age, 90% of all commercial goods travel by sea. in terms of containerships the indian ocean is emerging as

my view was a pox on both their houses there's no question the united states during the bush obama years has been a profit nation overspending and gauging and reckless irresponsible monetary policy printing more money and making government bigger has never been a recipe for prosperity now on the other hand that doesn't mean china is wearing the white hat i'm a little bit concerned that china has a bubble and there are economists i hope i'm wrong i hope they continue to prosper and grow but i think there are still far too much government intervention in china i think the chinese government is deliberately keeping down domestic consumption impoverishing their own people in order to maintain sort of a government designed export led growth strategy and sooner or later that may very well blow up on them so as far as i'm concerned the politicians on both sides of the pacific are doing the wrong thing ok if i go back tomorrow i mean there again if we go back to mainstream coverage of this here i mean the chinese for all the discussion about the undervaluation of the chinese currency the chinese

marc, is the united states safer today than it was ten years ago before 9-11? >> yes, i think it is. if you'd asked me that question five years ago, i probably would have said, "no." i think we made a lot of very damaging decisions in the years immediately after 9-11 but then in, in the second half of the bush administration, i think they corrected course and did a number of things that i think have made us a lot safer. i think we're doing much better now in the battle against al qaeda. al qaeda, i think, is much more marginal than it used to be to, uh, to mainstream arab politics and it's much less able to mobilize anger against the united states. >> what did the u.s. do in terms of changing policy during that, the second five years that you mentioned? >> i think it, it did a number of things. uh, it corrected course in what used to be called "the war of ideas." it did a much better job of focusing strictly and very specifically on violent extremists instead of focusing on islam more generally. and i think that that helped to reach out to the mainstream of the

members over there cabal positions first of all have accused the united states of turning a blind eye to the human rights violations taking place in the country one of the same time seeking help from the united states for its sixty's not just financial help but also ideological and while speaking to the habs over the russian department of the us national security council mr mouthful the members of the opposition have asked the united states to be more critical of the violations of civil rights taking place in russia but not bush like critical members of their position also seem to believe that the recent reset of relations between washington and the united states have been that has been a bad influence to a human rights activist is specially in the north caucasus they're saying that after the murder over the bodies to meet or what had old chechnya ramzan to they don't have as many given given carte blanche for other murders and should be recognized as a persona non grata by the united states where mr mark for has said that he doesn't see that happening and those are all domestic issue

they who live in the united states in fact believe this. and they often influence operation here in the united state to have us believe that islam is a religion of peace. we of course have evidence, not that i even need to mention it of the first bombing of the world trade center, the attacks on number 11 in isolated attacks, most recently at fort hood and elsewhere. more than anything else, before were a free society and liberal people in the best sense of the word, what anything else, this notion that islam is of peace has counted american policymakers to believing that islam is a religion to be treated like any other religion. indeed to mention the threat of islam, as is islam in any kind of serious ways to be labeled a bigot or a racist. some of the groundbreaking work done on the threat of islam was by nature stephen conlin, who while working as a lawyer for the joint staff and the pentagon try to explain the ideological and practical threat islam poses to the united states. this work led ultimately to the book sharia, threat to americ

welcome to the united states. -- welcome to the united states. three decades ago, on a january day like this, another american president stood here and welcome and other chinese leader for the historic normalization of relations between the united states and the people's republic of china. on that day, deng xiaoping spoke of the great possibilities of cooperation between our two nations. looking back on that winter day in 1979, it is now clear -- the previous 30 years had been a time of estrangement for our two countries. the 30 years since have been a time of growing exchanges and understanding. with this visit, we can lay the foundation for the next 30 years. host: president barack obama on the south lawn introducing and talking about the state visit for chinese president hu jintao. again, if you want to watch the president's full remarks, turned to c-span2. live, uninterrupted coverage there. james mann, let me turn to you and the collar's question about jobs and the perception that jobs are going to china. gue

yes, that's the same fatah that i speak of, unfortunately, both the leadership of the united states and the leadership of israel ignore directives that their own respective governments have put out regarding fatah. the israel ministry of foreign affairs outright calls fatah a terrorist organization. on the ministry's website, it states, quote, fatah is a terrorist organization as defined in the prevention of terrorism ordinance, end quote. just so you know, the ordinance provides the israeli government specific measures when dealing with terrorists and when protecting the security of its citizens. and has been in place for the past six decades. with regards to the united states, one has to do some research to find the terrorist designation of fatah. first and foremost, in december, 1987, then president ronald reagan signed into law the antiterrorism act of 1987. it states, quote, the congress determines that the plo and its affiliates are a terrorist organization and a threat to the interests of the united states, its allies, and to international law and should not benefit from operatin
