is the flagship newspaper in the united states openly called last we called it out if this is an illegal war the the war was never authorized by the united states congress more than sixty days have passed since the u.s. began bombing libya and we have a law in the united states called work hours resolution which congress passed during the vietnam war in order to try and constrain where make the president and first of all says there any war has to be authorized by congress unless the u.s. is directly attacked and secondly it says that if the prison involves. u.s. forces nostrils those forces have to be withdrawn in sixty days unless the way you are talking about it. and illegal war but i thought it was just a humanitarian mission. well. regardless of the motivation or claimed motivation united states has been bombing libya helping others to bomb so it's a war you support or or oppose it it's still or it's illegal under united states law and this is being openly said new united states it's never been authorized by congress there is now a vote finally exploded expected in the house in the next three days on an amendment by representative conyers there woul

to negotiate with than some of his predecessors, made it very clear in his speech to the united states congress that israel would cede territory that it feels it has a legitimate claim to. a two-state solution. it wants nothing more than to get rid of those territories. >> it's not being generous. netanyahu is not saying we're giving up israeli land. they are saying, okay, what's ours is ours, now let's see how much we can keep of what's yours. the west bank of gaza occupied territory. this should be understood. >> doctor. >> and according to international law, israel has no right to annex any part of that or to remove its population and put them in occupied territory. >> just so the historical record is clear. >> yes. >> the territory israel has right now -- >> is not -- >> because it was attacked by every surrounding arab nation, and every person understands that. the arabs have been at war with israel. and even those of us who desperately want peace, who have been viewed as pushing for negotiating positions more amenable to peace, will never forget the historical record is that the arab nati

getting attention from the legal system, and interacting with the political system of the united states, congress, but even at the local level, state and local level politics is more of a challenge so what i heard and my understanding from speaking with some people in the agency is that these cases are not getting that kind of attention, and they are not getting the advocacy that has fortunately been developed around some of the cases in asia, europe, and other places among the families. lastly, i'll just note that i do have a number of suggestions of responses from congress. i would just like to note a few. there has been a gao report on this issue done in 2000, and i think the issue is ripe for a review by gao, although in truth, you might also because of the time that gao takes, you might also want to look at an independent report. the state department has been at times given funding to issue an grant and do a study from an outside attorney or set of attorneys. there might be a way to do that to effectively look at this issue of communication between the parents and agency and really everythin

boy, did that resonate here in the united states' congress. d it just bollsteres thester that the prime minister in israel is getting from this congress. >> dana bash, thank you so much. we want to bring in brianna keilar in had london with obama. did you hear any daylight between president obama and what we heard from the prime minister? >> suzanne, no response yet. in fact, if you were watching president obama here in london, you wouldn't have even had an indication this speech was going on. he visited a school with british prime minister david cameron for sort of an education and innovation effort. but even as there has been this rough spot between the prime minister and the president and we're certainly going to be peppering jay carney, the press secretary, when he has a briefing here in london not too long from now. but even with this rough spot, i think you would hear the white house emphasize that the president is going to be dealing with this issue here. the israeli/palestinian peace process, as he talks to european allies and also that

digits at the beginning of each website there is a tremendous battle going on led by the united states congress. to be able to have greater control over when they can shut down websites and which of states can be shut down by the us or by other governments who will object to the political content of the website to mention that there is also a great deal of effort being made it's an issue to. guard the copyright of corporations but in many cases that were a very negative effect the nonprofit abramoff looking could serve but that's not let's just focus back in on this potential move we're talking about now though tonight so far it's just an initiative what are the chances it will actually be approved by congress do you think well that's a hard that's a hard question these days because. the u.s. congress is a bit of a wild west operation right now you've got these very right wing doris vernon and you've got here sort of standard peace talks. but i think there's probably a good chance that it will go through i mean not that it will have a significant impact on china or around for that matter right

that you know the united states is constantly at war it is bankrupting itself while others are making a fortune and misery unspeakable misery that we caused the united states congress so many places and you say people kind of walk away from it. yeah i think that's right i mean i think it's important to understand what motivates people's participation ordinary people's participation in sort of mass protest events and what gets them. mobilized to get involved in politics and really it's a sense of threat and it was during the bush years that people felt very strongly cutely threatened and they felt strongly to do something about it whereas now they don't feel quite as threatened and that's why they don't participate as much angelino like to it so is he he got i'm sorry go ahead but the way that i like to explain it is that there are a lot of issues that i take positions on where i disagree with my government so for example i might disagree with my government's policies on criminal justice and i do and i disagree with my government's policies on the environment but i often don't find myself mobilized to action on those issues now that the war was an issue that i perso

broadcast are practically is not so big grow but there are no criticism against it from the united states congress the white house and the government over. and western european countries police still believe. there are zero close allies for example the baltics these are the members of need to. be in the unions their very close allies their steel touchable going to have to soften up a notice to thank you very much for joining us on this holiday and certainly many russians won't let this terrible news from ukraine destroy what has become a holiday full of glory and pride for russia very much of course some twenty seven million people lost their lives in the fight the battle to bring down nazi germany just to give you an idea of that number the u.k. and the u.s. put together a boss told me some nine hundred thousand archies sarra first met with some veterans who first hand saw the atrocities of bringing down nazi germany. it was hell i felt like an end of the world everything was on fire burning exploding all around trees were on fire and weapons were house was burning and crushing noise was terrible

good thing that's on tom coburn dropped out because given the history of gang rule in the united states congress the end result of the gang of six was likely a few thirty am worthless instead let's go gangbusters and bring back open debate to the floors of congress where our representatives know that they're being held accountable we can see what they're up to and then and hear everything they have to say then maybe democrats will start acting like democrats and more importantly our government will start acting like our founding fathers imagine that would be a refreshing change. as the big picture first and i for more information on the stories we covered visit our websites at town arbonne dot com and our team dot com also check out our youtube pages at youtube dot coms lifestyle big picture and you too dot com slash. ellis entire show is available as a free video podcast i took this and don't forget democracy begins with you when you show up when you participate when you get active that's when it all happens tag you're it. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right. i think. one wel

section eight clause eight of the united states constitution known as the copyright and patent clause or the intellectual property clause empowers the united states congress quote to promote the progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries there are a couple of things the american founders got wrong in the constitution one was slavery the other was intellectual property i am an abolitionist for both the sick part of government created intellectual property the twisted logic behind this clause securing exclusive rights that is allowing someone to pimp out the force of government to stop others from using their ideas does not promote the progress of science and useful arts. in fact it does just the opposite the very concept of intellectual property is a fiction a scam and it flies in the face of real property rights they are diametrically opposed if you own physical property and you want to copy music on your computer or write down something else out in a notebook or carve a stone into a wheel you don't owe anybody for the use of certain ideas that

mosques from being built and borrowing an idea from joe mccarthy and use the power of the united states congress to investigate multi-generational all-american muslim communities for extremism in other words we've gone a little crazy. i was. a member of the m.b.a. . will. but world news that bin laden is now dead finally ease the pressure on american muslim communities would cool our islamophobia if favor for more on how this news was received by muslims in america what it means for the future of the islamic faith in our nation i'm joined by our one hundred twelve government policy analyst of the muslim public public affairs council i wonder welcome back to the program thanks for having me back here tom ridge have you was how is the muslim community in the united states reacting to this or is it too is too soon to really get a good giggle i think that for some you know it's an overwhelming feeling but i think by and large what we clearly show is overwhelmingly that there is a sense of relief that bin laden has been brought to justice and the fact now that this guy who has had a two year two deca

now, as we're speaking, israeli's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is about to address the united states congressthere's vice president biden and house speaker boehner right there. now, net tan -- netanyahu will be telling congress that israel in his mind had never go back to -- go back to its old, narrow boders. you are looking -- looking at file video of netanyahu. >>> at this time, president obama is meeting with prime minister in brit -- in brynn. in-- britton. the two leaders are scheduled to meet -- scheduled to meet today about very high-sake issues, including afghanistan, pakistan, tomorrow they meet again and president obama addresses the british parly month. before this meeting the president and first lady spent more than three hours at buckingham palace. here's new video of the queen taking the obamas on a tour of her private gallery. president obama and the first lady had a private meeting with the royal newlyweds this morning. the obamas will be guests of honor at a state dinner at buckingham palace tonight and will spend two nights in a suite there. reporting live from alison burns,

but it would take about fifty years for this agreement to be fully ratified by the united states congress that's because lawmakers for decades were worried that the bretton woods treaty this in particular republicans by the way was part of a worldwide communist conspiracy to create global rule there were also worries the treaties are inherently dangerous since our constitution says the treaties trump federal and state laws and thus the minute the sovereignty of the united states he's taken very seriously and after enough time corporations with their newfound personhood are gaining more and more influence in the halls of congress and when these corporations look at free trade they saw nothing but dollar signs you cheap labor pools neumar emerging markets who cares of america was for outsourcing these corporations would be reeling in nassif profits and profits not patriotism or the name of the game so after fifty years in a member of one thousand nine hundred four with heavy pressure from trans national corporate campaign donors our congress ratified the bretton woods agreement and the fina

wasn't a single doubt in your mind after being before this congress of the steadfast bipartisan and genuinely enthusiastic support of the united statesthank you. >> mr. prime minister, it's an honor to join my colleagues and the leadership of this congress to welcome you once again to the capitol of the united states -- capital of the united states. as you know just two weeks ago we had a bipartisan delegation visit you in israel where we shared the experience of the day of remembrance and bursting forth in celebration for the establishment of the nation of israel. two weeks ago, one week ago here in the capitol, under the dome, we had the day of remembrance for -- of the holocaust. the prime minister very eloquently tied all of these things together speaking about the importance of a jewish state in the middle east. mr. prime minister, i think that was clear from the response in your speech that our colleagues on both sliles, from both sides of the capitol believe that you advance the cause of peace. both sliles, both sides of the capitol believe that you violence the cause of peace thank you, mr. prime minister. >> thank you. may i

the question, of course, becomes an issue of funding from the united states congress, which is an importantset to the risk analysis piece. that important work has been done and continues to be refreshed on an annual basis. host: is congress interested in these types of topics? are they receptive? guest: i always had an open ear in terms of the united states congress. i participated in quite a few hearings during my tenure. i found them always willing and concerned to hear our problems. again, however, it's always a question of resources. where do the federal responsibilities begin and where do they anend? how do you wisely spent the resource dollars in a highly constrained environment? more constrained now than we were after the september 11 attacks and hurricane katrina. that's a problem going into the future. it all has to come together. i found a very good partner in congress, whether it was under the democrats or republicans. host: louisville, ky. dave on the line for democrats, go ahead. caller: how're you doing, c- span? guest: go ahead. caller: robert, i live next to a chemical plant

folks, when we talk about how, we the united states congress, we, the u.s. house of representatives voted to save medicare in the 2012 budget proposal, we talked about saving it by providing choice. my colleagues are exactly right, we did that in 1997. and can we save it by providing more choice. we added medicare advantage but didn't get much further than that. this is that next step, because we know that choice matters. we know that choice matters. the gentleman who held my seat and been retired used to tell the story of his mother in upstate minnesota and every tuesday she would go to the doctor with a group of friends to make sure everything was ok. just to get checked out. one day, a terrible snowstorm, wind was blowing and snow was piling up and they got together on tuesday and edna wasn't there. and they called around and asked around and turned out she wasn't feeling well and couldn't be there that day. you make different choices when you are not responsible for the bills. this isn't just a medicare issue, but a philosophical difference between these

united states of america. 77. there isn't one person in this united states congress that could stand down here on the floor and without a cheat sheet name every one of them. there isn't one person in this united states congress that can actually understand how each one these 77 means tested welfare programs interrelate with each other, let alone how it affects the decisions of individuals on whether they're going to get a job or sit at home. if you're on rent subsidy and heat subsidy and food stamps and list all the other federal programs that are there, why would you work? when you're rewarded for not working? and i look at the labor situation in america, eight million working illegals in america. eight million. there are a number of others out there we probably didn't find in the data that we have and so here we are with the unemployment numbers of about 15 million americans who are registered as unemployed. 15 million. there's another six million to eight million that are past the data, they've quit trying so they're no longer technically called unemployed, they've just quit looking for a job. you're up over 20 mil

america should want to sit in judgment, to enforce our constitution and laws passed by the united states congress? well, i think not. and yet another -- in yet another dramatic nomination conversion during his failed nomination process last year, professor liu responded to my written questions by calling this statement a -- quote -- "poor choice of words." close quote. a poor choice of words. well though there's several more examples of professor liu's lack of judicial temperament, his record is already crystal clear. now, its eats one thing for professor liu to disagree with a person. we do that every day here on the floor of the senate, in committee, and around the cufnlt acrosaacross kitchen tables in r homes. but it is quite another to repeatedly engage in these types of inaccurate and frankly disgusting attacks against a public official trying to do their job the way they think that it should be done. for professor liu to only reflect upon his statements once he's offered a life tenure judgeship on the court of appeals is unacceptable. given his lack of experience as a practicing lawyer, obv

in closing, i am humbled by the opportunity to serve in the united states congress. i think we owe it to the american people to ensure that the opportunities of our generation are there for future generations. i think we owe them a humbler government that learns to live within its means and values the entrepreneurial drive of our people with policies that on leash the awesome potential of our economy. for those of us in washington, i think this has to be our focus. this must ensure that our economy is back on track and the american dream is restored. there can be no rest. it starts with freedom. in america, it always has been. this is the moment -- this is the opportunity to deal with our long term fiscal challenges and we cannot let this moment pass. thanks for the opportunity to be with all of you tonight and i look forward to your questions. [applause] >> thank you, mr. speaker. our president, jan hopkins will read any questions that have been received. >> thank you so much for being with us tonight especially because i know how hectic your schedule is. we are rea

what should the united states congress and the president do to make it so that you don't have to do thisell, i think the congress and the president should look at this decision. i think locally here in this state, we should have more tougher penalties on the employers, right now it's just a civil offense, so i would like to see that happen, maybe it will now after this decision. but you know once again, 1070, no 1070 or these laws, we have been doing it anyway in three years, thousands we have arrested, my office have, so we have the laws on the books, let's enforce the laws. >> as you know your critics and they include the united states justice department in this administration, say that you're not following the law, that you're profiling. >> they have been investigating me on that matter for 2 1/2 years. we don't. and if they want to keep investigating, okay. but that's not going to deter me from doing the job. i think i have proven that in the last two years. so they can investigate me. i have been a top law enforcement official federal, i know how the system works. but let's not thro

and sometimes they get real angry like each other like when we banned french fries from the united states congress. remember? but we didn't go to war with france. we banned french fries. ok, we can deal with banning french fries or if they want to ban pizza. you can't ban pizza. my grandmother would turn over in her grave. the reality is that that is a correct view of what america can contribute. it is an absolutely correct thing for america to offer that to the world. doesn't mean we can intervene all the time. it doesn't mean we have the resources to intervene all the time. it does mean we can always help. you can help the spread of freedom and democracy without intervening militarily. sometimes you have to. it matches be the rare occasion. we didn't have to intervene militarily in poland, but poland is now free. how do we do that? we did it by supporting by giving them more support, giving them other forms of support, like information and ideas and being on their side. that is what we should be doing in iran today. it is inconsistent to me that we would call for the ouster of gaddafi who surely

the gentleman from florida. >> in closing let me say that the united states congress does set the policies for engaging in war and hostile actions. the secretary of defense is clearly given the authority here to provide again applicable provisions for how this would apply. mr. mica: let me say that in closing, our troops, our service men and women should not be used at target practice in any hostile theater and they should be given the right to basic right to bear arms and defend themselves. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from florida. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the noes appear to have it. >> i ask for the yeas and nays. the chair: does the gentleman ask for a recorded vote? >> yes. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from florida will be postponed. the chair: if there is no objection the committee will rise informally. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. the chair

. >>> also this morning israeli prime minister will tell the united states congress israel will never return to its old narrow borders. the prime minister's address to congress comes just days after president obama's speech where he said that peace talks between israel and the palestinians should start with pre-1967 borders and also include land swaps. at a meeting of thousands of american jewish supporters yesterday he reaffirmed his position that the old borders are indefensible. >>> overnight nato war planes launched more than 20 air strikes against targets in tripoli, libya. you can look off in the distance there. keep watching that smoke rising and watch the light. that's right near libyan leader moammar gadafi's compound. the nato attack was one of the heaviest against tripoli since the nato mission started just over two months ago. >>> we now know the name of a man gunned down in antioch over the weekend. police say 19-year-old harold of antioch was shot and killed on sunday. it happened on d street shortly before 8:00 in the evening. he later died at a local hospital. and it's

not a lot of people in the united states congress knew. this is not a -- this is not something you run around including lots of people in. >> there was a time a couple of years ago where we shared more and tried to trust more, before 9/11, with colin powell and musharraf. >> yes, you're right. and i think over the course of the last year we have run into some difficulties. the relationship has been tested. we had the raymond davis incident. we had some politicians in the country, in their country, in pakistan, grossly exploiting this for their own benefit at the expense of the united states. i think that made a lot of people recoil. and begin to ask some of the questions that you're asking. and the answer is there has been a level of uneasiness in the relationship between the isi and the cia. now that said, pakistan has also allowed us to do a lot. we have been allowed to have a lot of these people on the ground who were able to do some of this tracking and analysis. we have been allowed to do a lot of drone strikes, which, up until now, p

today's oversight hearing underscores the role of the united states congress united states congress to scrutinize the implementation and enforcement a key provisions of the dodd-frank acts. the consumer financial protection's bureau, which is the brainchild of today's first witness, has been hailed by some as a much-needed regulatory authority to limit the risk of financial fraud. yet others, myself included, are skeptical that the bureau's creation, structure and broad discretionary powers are warranted. nevertheless, dodd-frank is now the law of the land, and in a few short weeks the bureau will become a powerful instrument in the hands of progressive regulators. once fully operational, the bureau will possess virtually unchecked discretion to identify financial products and services that the directors determined to be unfair, deceptive or abusive. to fund and execute this mandate the law has granted the bureau and unparalleled budgetary authority free from congressional authorization and and i'm acceptable degree of autonomy hidden from congressional oversight. while we have yet to
