united states constitution. so they will would like to repeal it to the united states standard. now, what does this mean? because honestly, the first time i looked at it, i was like, what? we stop a lot of things because of the strong privacy laws in florida. so we're repe-- repealing it wo open the door for things that might not necessarily get very far because of the protection in their constitution. so this will be happening in november. and another thing that will be happening in november, in montana is parental notification. now, this was a -- again, put in by the state legislature so we only have one citizen-driven initiative on the ballot now out of the three. montana last year, the state legislature passed a parental innovation bill and sent it to the governor, who is 100% pro choice. and they said, this is what we're going to do. if it you veto this, we have passed something else that will throw a constitutional amendment on the ballot next year. so you either sign this or we fight at the ballot box. so he vetoed. and now we have parental notification in montana. so those are the three that are

standard they raised interest rates rather than lowered them. they argued by keeping interest rates high that would make u.s. investments attractive and prevent money from flowing out of the united states. but again, that was the wrong thing to do relative to what the economy needed. in 1933, franklin roosevelt abandoned the gold standard and suddenly monetary policy became much less tight and there was a very powerful rebound in the economy in '33, '34. the other part of the fed's responsibilities, of course, is to be lender of last resort. and once again, the fed did not meet its mandate. they responded inadequately to the bank runs, allowingthis tre decline in the banking system, as many banks failed. and as a result, bank failures swept the country. as i mentioned before, a very large fraction of the nation's banks failed. almost 10,000 banks failed in the '30s. and that continued until deposit insurance was created in 1934. now, why did the fed not more aggressively be lender of last resort? why didn't it lend to these failing banks? in some cases the banks were really insolvent, wasn't much could be done. they had made loans in agricultural areas and their loans were all going ba

in the united states is standard operating procedure. the second unfilled aspect of american community life has been vibrant, exuberant civil engagement and solve local problems to the voluntary associations that americans historic informed at the drop of hat. the decline of marriage, industriousness, honesty and religiosity has been associate with a near collapse of social capital in fishtown as well. the case for the ongoing collapse of american social capital was first made a decade ago by harvard political scientist robert putnam in his best selling book, bowling alone, which he presented dozens of indicators of social capital, almost all of which showed a steep decline starting in the 1960s. the same measures has often been rising until then. drawing directly from putnam's presentation, the modal year for the beginning of the decline among the indicators was 1964. at the dawn of the great society. i find this significant, professor putnam does not. bowling alone did not explore class divisions. but we know that social capital had to

and here, we see using the lowest level standards possible, whether or not facilities in the united states meet these lowest standards. what we see in the red column, the dark blue column, are facilities that are partially or fully noncompliant with the very basic health care requirements making sure that the youth is not suffering for example from an injury or trauma or is intoxicated or at risk of suicide as they walk in the door. both unsurprisingly then, we see in this chart, that the death, the risk of death in a facility is on average three times greater than that in the general population of youth. we can argue that the general population of youth is the appropriate comparison point. i feel that of course it is, but others feel you should look at the highest rick youth. youth in the system are more likely to die than kids on the outside from suicide and illnesses. th they're not only more likely to die, but more likely to die upon release. that's a strong finding found around the world. i'm going to skip that slide and try and keep up with time here. one of the things that occurred

qatar for example are very good sarah good for the united states and its allies look it's going on with iran because again that's a huge double standard right there where the united states and fowler's will talk about democratization in some places but egypt. the word on bahrain i mean that's where the geopolitical element comes into it how much does it bother you about that the level of hypocrisy because people on the ground will say well you know the conditions can have it you know but palestinians can't have it of course ok and in bahrain they can't have it as well i mean how how does this skew the whole you can mock or see issues that the west talks about and one on one side of its mouth and then can use military force on the other side. or i think there are some in the west that are pressing saudi arabia and bahrain for all the elections but i think the problem is that too often things get simplified to say that democracy equals actions and really elections are just one of the last phases of democracy there has to be a support of civil society that respects the rule of law and that there are protections for an already right so yo

similarly we need to establish standards for the united states refugee camps and we need to be clearhat the teaching of hatred, the recruiting of mar ters and the anticipation that children will grow up to be killers are not patterns compatible with a peace process and we will not tolerate engaging in a process with people that engage in those behaviors. i believe we are at pa great cross roads. i believe the current administration is failing because they will not allow the fbi to describe accurately the motivations of the bomber, it will not allow the fbi to describe accurately the motivations on of a army major, it cannot deal with the egyptian muslim brother hood with any honesty and the most recent meeting of muslim countries for the purpose -- was a mistake that should not be repeated. i want you to know that i'm committed to reforming the state department, i'm committed to reforming the united nations i'll follow an american foreign policy, seeking american strength to ensure that we can stand with our friends around the world and in a gingrich administration, we would not keep

and isn't the message of the united state has a rate standard bearer on a food security voting against the right to food just impossible to explain at a human level? and how does one reconcile that apparent disconnect? you knowing about it we look at these instruments very differently than most other countries. there are many countries that sign on to instruments and resolution but there no relationship to their domestic product has an apparatus to better legal concerns or issues of language, you know how to override this sort of moral imperative has been on the side of the right to food and the advancement of food security pecans have what you think about it. >> is a fascinating question. one of the trickiest things about writing this book for me was the team through the ways particularly in the international human rights contacts were both kind of straddle as a moral imperative and aspirational ideal and more practical and formal mandate. so from that day is ever realized her positives, what we mean our right to to substantiate it. if it's the right time in the time that he is entitl

and i think we're all being misled by the double standards and the trickery employed by the united states in its race for supremacy. you're talking about these countries so countries what are these countries e.a. talking about can you name them oh yes i can name them it's the united states great britain and france. these are the three nations to pursue their political objectives while peddling them is the demands of the international. communities. through political pressure and the law they seek to use international institutions to impose their will on other countries you know you can see for yourself the crimes these three nations have committed in libya. forty thousand libyans were killed by airstrikes launched on the predicts of protests in civilians they have accused them or more of the da feo killing a total of four thousand people while countering their rebellion but what about the forty thousand they've murdered themselves. in syria you can seen these nations attempting to impose their will on the people similarly using international institutions as an instrument. i know this. spec

there is a price we all pay when someone like the president of the united states sets the standard thisave got all of the power on their side because they can use the power of government to persecute and prosecute. megyn: you hear very little about this, about the obama campaign going after the koch brothers. there is a question about what would have happened if president bush had gone after george soros in this way. we are taking your thoughts on twitter. we'll circulate some of those responses at the end of the hour. does this concern you or is it fair game? to inject yourself into the political process with donations or otherswise. president obama telling a major news network that his apology for the burning of korans in afghanistan has quote calmed things down there. less than 12 hours later after he made those comments, two more american soldiers were shot dead on a u.s. base there. two of our top military contributors will debate this subject. plus the new call from the united nations to have u.s. soldiers prosecuted. plus pythons wreaking havoc on the florida everglades. now a gr

state of california or the western electric coordinating council. we are casting a wide net in looking at the standard practices and innovations as they occur throughout the western united states. we are not constrained to look only at pg&e practices. >> i guess i am belaboring the point now. i guess that my concern is, because of what you stated earlier, this kind of tends to point backwards. item k, with respect to proving utility practices, tends to point backwards to what the utility companies currently do, when in fact that public company is currently the innovator. i am curious as to whether this was a necessary component or something that the school district felt comfortable with. i do not know that it is necessary for that to be there. that it is material enough to delay moving this item forward. it does not seem to me to encourage the practice that the public utilities commission is engaging in. it in fact seems counterproductive to that. the you understand? >> commissioners, may i make a suggestion? this is in the definition area and that might be useful to find out where it is used. we can take a look to see if in fact it is used, where it is used, and if tha

you know, they have long the supreme court of the united states, as well as the circuit courts around the country have long articulated an appellate standard of review of brady violations. by that standard, the court will not reverse a conviction even in the presence of the concealment of exculpatory information unless the court is able to conclude that that concealment was outcome determined. that is to say that it was material to the conviction and was so material to the conviction that it would leave one without confidence in the guilty verdict. so we have this appellate materiality standard which makes perfect sense to me from the post hoc perspective of an appellate court. because that has been articulated over the years, prosecutors take the view pretrial that they are only required to t ey believe to be material. that is what might ultimately have an adverse effect on the outcome. judge paul freedman of the district court here in washington in a recent fairly publicized case called safavian addressed this issue and said no, it is not the prerogative of the prosecutor, one of adversaries of course in this proceeding to decide before

and related to this, as we saw in the case of the united states, the gold standard had financial panicsot always assured by the gold standard. finally, one last word on the gold standard, one of the strengths that people site for the gold standard is it creates a stable valley for the currency. a create stable inflation. that is true over very long periods. over short. , over five or 10 years, you could actually have a lot of inflation, rising prices or deflationary, falling prices, in a gold standard. the amount of money in the economy varies according to things like gold strikes. if gold is discovered in california and the amount of gold and the economy goes up, that will cause an inflation. if the economy is growing faster and there is a shortage of gold, that will be a deflationary. he frequently had both inflation and deflation. over very long periods of time, decades, prices were stable. this was a very significant concern of the united states. you could see he was a very good public speaker, william james bryant, three-time democratic candidate for president. in the latter part o

the gold standard and raise interest rates rather than lower them by keeping interest rates high that would make u.s. investments attractive and prevent money from flowing out of the united states. that was the wrong thing to do relative to what the economy needed. in 1933 franklin roosevelt abandoned the gold standard and suddenly market policy became less tight and there was a powerful rebound in the economy in 33-34. the other part of the fed responsibility was to the lender of last resort. once again, the fed did not meet its mandate. responded inadequately to the bank runs, your allowing essentially this tremendous decline in the banking system as many banks failed. as a result, bank failures left the country. very large fraction of the nation's banks failed. almost 10,000 banks failed in the 30s. that continued until insurance was created in 1934. why did the fed not more aggressively lend to these failing banks? in some cases the banks were insolvent, wasn't much could be done. they had made loans in agricultural areas and loans were going bad because of the prices in the agricultural sector. part of it was the fed appeared to some extent to agree with the liquidation th

the poor, even the very poor in the united states, enjoy a standard of living that is a fair bit higher than it impoverished nations like sudan or developing countries. i think there is no question that america's poverty level does not compare. in some ways, it is an apples and oranges question. the the real question when you look at people at the very lowest end of the economic ladder is a relative one. on much access to they have to the resources in the economy in which they live to better themselves to realize their full potential as human beings? that is the more useful question when gauging poverty levels between the u.s. and other countries. host: let's go to bethlehem, pa. pennsylvania. caller: thank you for your loyalty. there has been an ongoing conspiracy for a long time to break the safety net in the united states. these people do not believe in helping their fellow man. we are 16th in the world in minimum-wage. i am sure you know that. the germans refer to us as the new china. there are hundreds of new companies moving in here. all of the high name companies are well known l

and here we see using the lowest level standard possible, whether or not facilities in the united states meet these lowest standards, and what we see in the red column, and in the dark blue column our facilities that are partially or fully noncompliant with a very basic health care requirements of making sure that the youth is not suffering. for example, from an injury or trauma or intoxicated or is at risk of suicide as they walk in the door. and surprisingly then we see in this chart that the risk of death in the facility is, on average, three times greater than that in the general population of youth. we can argue if the general population of youth is the appropriate comparison point, i myself feel that, of course, it is, but others feel that you should look at the highest risk youth as a comparison point. but nontheless, what we see is used in the system are much more likely than kids on the outside to die from suicide and from illnesses. they are not only likely -- more likely to die in the system, they are more likely to die upon release. that is a strong 90 notches in the united s

breast cancer not only did not work, it was not harmful over the old standard therapy, so we have 200 sites around the united states who are doing something, and the science is finally completed 12 to 15 years after they started doing it. there are so many things we do in medicine without the science. and an outspoken. we did prostate cancer screening. we did prostate cancer screening in this country for 20 years before we had a clinical trial that suggested that it was actually beneficial. i was outspoken on prostate cancer screening because in the late 1990's, i actually met a fellow who was a marketer for a large hospital system who had this wonderful business plan on how much money they would make off of prostate cancer screening at a mall, free prostate cancer screening being very lucrative for the hospital, off of the guys you read that at normal, people try it with cancer, and they knew how many different treatments they were going to get. they even knew how many men were going to read urinary incontinence and impotence, and i asked the guy how many lives they would set off of this prostate screening, and he
