do you feel like the united states national security is at stake when we start to make these kinds of cuts? >> i definitely do. if you go back a year ago, secretary gates was giving us different numbers, projecting out ahead we were saying we would not go below 01% increase over and above inflation. now we are actually cutting from those projections $78 billion, over and above the $100 billion that the chiefs were asked to go back and find, but they got to keep most of that. >> could we do another $400 billion? over 12 years. >> i am assuming you are not saving that much money in your review of the defense programs. >> i am hoping that which just a opening shot in a presidential campaign. i was not able to see the whole speech, but i have read reviews. to pick a number out of that and say we or wrong to cut that, if he is reelected, then at most he is here six years, and he is planning a four hundred dollars billion cut over the next 13 years, 12 or 13 years? >> i am just doing the math in my head. you are talking about basically $11 trillion that the defense department is projecting

are all of these proposals, these cuts that are happening, do you feel like the united states' national security is at stake when we start to make these kinds of cuts? >> i definitely do. and if you go back a year ago, secretary gates was giving us different numbers. projecting ahead, we were saying we would not go below a 1% increase, each year, over and above inflation. and now we're actually cutting from those projection projections $78 billion. over and above the $100 billion that the chiefs were asked to go back and find but they got to keep most of that. they had to come up -- >> can we do anothe another $400 billion? >> over 12 years. >> i'm assuming you're not saving that much money in your review of the defense programs. >> no. really not -- i'm hoping that that's just what was an opening shot in a presidential campaign. i wasn't able to see the whole speech, but i read about it and read reviews. to put that number out, i'd have to say we're going to have to cut -- i mean, if he is re-elected, then at most he's here six years and he's planning a $400 billion cut over the next, what, 13

in this in the score that united states is is involved in and just recycling the same old people and switching jobs with them is not the way the you ensure the national security of the united states in my opinion so you're saying a recycling of people here but why why is washington doing this in the first place . well they've obama administration is just continuing the war strategies of the bush administration and in fact obama has increased the war in afghanistan dramatically he's bringing back into to the mix a retired u.s. ambassador who i first met and two thousand and two actually in afghanistan i was a part of the u.s. embassy in kabul afghanistan in late two thousand and one and two thousand and two and ryan crocker was brought in as our first chargé d'affaires he then went from there to iraq in two thousand and three for sure tour and then into pakistan is the us ambassador and then into iraq as the u.s. ambassador and then retired from there the being placed in what seems to be kind of the republican think tank called texas a and m. university where our current department of defense head but gates had headed up the george bush school of public admini

so, my job is to try to educate my fellow citizens that it is in the united states national security interest to see these transitions made to a democratic and prosperous nation, and that will not be easy and a place like yemen. >> can i say that i agree completely, 100%, with what the senator just said, but precisely because i agree with that, i think we should be very careful about getting sucked into what happens in libya, because libya is not the main game. egypt is the main game. saudi arabia -- what happens in saudi arabia and the gulf is the main game. what happens in syria now is critically important. what is interesting about what is happening in syria is that the big concern -- if gaddafi is not overthrown, it will stop the arab awakening in its track. it will be back to business as usual. but it is not true. gaddafi is not overthrown, and now it is spreading to more and more towns and cities. in syria today, there were dramatic developments. i do not see that libya has such profound implications on what happens compared with if we do not get it right in egypt. if we do not

. >> all of these proposals, these cuts that are happening, do you feel the united states national security is at stake when we start to make these kinds of cuts? >> i definitely do. and if you go back a year ago, secretary gates was giving us different numbers. i mean, projecting out ahead. we were saying we would not go below a 1% increase over and above each year, over and above inflation. and now we're cutting -- we're actually cutting from those projections, $78 billion. over and above the $100 billion that the chiefs were asked to go back and find, but they got to keep most of that. >> could we do another $400 billion over 12 years? i'm assuming you're not saving that much money in your review of the defense programs. >> no, i'm really not even -- i'm hoping that that's just what was an opening shot in a presidential campaign. host: that will air on sunday morning, also on sunday evening on "newsmakers." back to telephone calls. francona, virginia. jack is a democrat there. you're on the air. we're talking defense spending, jack, this morning. caller: good morning. two-time medal of h

united states. if it serves our national security interest, they're hysterically opposed. let's review the history of liberals' intervention in the middle east or, as i call it, the great pyramid scheme. it was, of course, president jimmy carter's masterful handling of war in iraq -- or iran that led to the shah being deposed and islamic fundamentalism getting its fist real foothold -- first real foothold in the middle east, a calamity we're still dealing with, even as carter was back stabbing this loyal united states' ally in iran. the shah was assuring those around him, don't worry, the united states has always been our friend. we can count on them now. [laughter] there was no one there to warn him. there's a democrat in the white house, run for your life! this little exercise in democracy led to americans being held hostage for 444 days. we were standing tall under jimmy carter until that giant swimming rabbit came along. democrats are all for meddling in other countries, thus, for example, liberals loved clinton's misadventure in the balkans which posed no threat to th

which suggested that the united nations general assembly can recognize a palestinian state and grant that state membership of the united nations that is flatly wrong only the security council can do that and i don't you know i think all of the world a lot of there's a lot of legal opinion that would strongly disagree with you sir on that strongly disagree with you on that ok it is one of the reasons why you are going the united nations security council because it is like a last resort if i am going to rooms a police. mr netanyahu says he is for a palestinian state is that a palestinian state to you even would recognize even if these really said we recognize a palestinian state. not at all. and many israeli officials for years i would say starting september in one thousand nine hundred three until today and maybe even prior to that have been saying all the right things they've been talking about peace they've been talking about security they've been talking about the palestinian independence and they want to see a palestinian state but what they are doing on the ground is what really matters i don't care what then says i don't care what when jimmy netanyahu said in

united states, play down. >> charlie: define america's national security. >> exactly. play down the hectoring about democracy which a lot of people in the middle east associated with military venturism. that's the direction that appealed to obama, i think it partly appealed to him because he was thinking about running for president. and he obviously knew hillary clinton would be sppont and that kind of foreign policy would put her aside for the iraq war and would look very good. he pulled the iraq war. he has a realist direction. he pulled out people like the national security adviser, sort of the reigning realist of the democratic party. during the campaign he makes some comments that really push him in that direction. he talks about how george h.w. bush's foreign policy is very appealing to him and he admires. >> charlie: what does he admire. >> he has said he admired the way the firstush handled the collapse ofcommunism. and the changes in eastern europe. he had said that. he praised skullcroft bush's national security advisers. at one proint in the campaign he actu

united states' national interests. first, the united states plays a unique role as global anchor for security and advocate for human freedom. in libya, we embraced this important role heed-on by preventing a mad man from slaughtering his own people, and secondly, libya's neighbors tunisia and lebanon have just went into their own quest for freedom. if the violence spills over, it would be a violent outcome. this is not in the interest of the united states or the allies. we have to recognize that this operation is not going to be a success unless it ends with the demise of the gadhafi regime. the reason is clear. the mandate for this operation is that it protect libyan civilians, and yet we all know there is no enduring protection for the libyan people as long as gadhafi remains in power. we also must acknowledge something else that we don't know exactly how gadhafi will be brought down. the president has placed limits on the operation of which i agree, we do not want american boots on the ground. we do not want the operation to be too costly. we do not want it to divert resources from afghanistan and iraq. at the end of th

today we are the largest national security movement in the united states. 160,000 members, 510 chapters nationwide with a full-time lobbyists on capitol hill all started on the internet. so, the next book is going to be about power to the people. .. also as the servers, the employee people. talk about what motivated you to do this. >> guest: a couple of things. as a white house press correspondent i covered you always look for different ways to see the president, so different ways to get behind the curtain and the public relations and so long to see what they would really like and i've written four of the books and what i've tried to do is find a prism to look at them through to find something different. >> host: your book about the presidential retreat is fascinating because it really is like you're looking at the presidency with something people are picking up. >> guest: thank you. in this case i thought there was this very important and fascinating issue of race that's been with us from the very beginning in the united states how the president's deal with that both in their policies

[laughter] that is the national security adviser for the united states of america thinking this. it is a crisis. the worst since kennedy. >> question. i have worked for the old washington star 20 years. do you know, how things but the story now that i hear is president reagan the the the hell and you stop there for lunch? is there any truth to that? >> no. >> that is how things grow. [laughter] >> i never heard that. thank you for an amazing discussion tonight. i have a question and wonder either from a research perspective or the other members can you share it anything about but did not only that day with the ensuing dates? >> i will let del and all gentlemen. i interviewed mrs. reagan last year extensively for a documentary about her. she was in the white house and had come back from somewhere and was going about her business. . . the situation and he is read a lot she's not easy to control so here's this agent thinking he's going up the ramp going i've got to break this news to hurt how we do it in a race she doesn't run to the hospital? she basically is looking towards the st

united states and mexico. and put them on the border. to not allow people to cross into the united states. it is the federal government's responsibility of national security to protect the people so the federal government should pay for that and get the money out of the department of defense or somewhere. reappropriate money to have the national guard paid for. but put them under the supervision of the four-state governors so that the governors can control their own border and protect them from entering the united states unlawfully no matter who it is. i do not believe that we can say our border is secure when the general accounting office by their own statistics say that only 15% of the border is air tight. that doesn't seem like a winning percentage to me. and when they say under best circumstances 44% partially secure. what does that mean? well, it's sort of secure but sort of not. but when you got 56% of the border is wide open spaces for anybody that wants to come back and forth, that is not protecting the dignity and the sovereignty of the united states. so it's long past time we quit talking about border security and actually secure the border from
