unquote. question. was the broad sweep of this subpoena intended solely to catch the leaker? or was it intended to cripple ap's news gathering? paul? >> 100% to get the leaker. that is the obsession here. remember what started this. a double agent we had in yemen looking at the most danger terrorist if the world was exposed by somebody. we don't know who. the press is getting trampled under the foot of a leak investigation as always happens. >> reporter: let's hear from the president. here's the president's response. >> i make no apologies. i don't think the american people would expect me as commander in chief not to be concerned about information that might compromise missions or might get them killed we can look where free press free ration and the open flow of unless helps hold mia counsellable homes hold our government accountable and to the extent this case prompt renewed interest about how do we strike that balance properly, i think that is a worthy conversation to have. >> what do you think of that? were you properly elected? >> i tell you, i think he makes sense, as

political theater this whole idea that works not deploying the truman battlegroup because of quote unquote cuts is insane the the the money's used for operations on budgets are not being cut remotely and the bottom line is this as always the wars in afghanistan the wars in iraq were paid for by a burden see funds my goodness sake if the navy actually needs to actually continue its operations it could always go to congress and ask for emergency appropriations so we're not even there yet this is all theater and it's not even good theater at this point in time ok doug theater ok but it seems like bad theater to me go ahead . moore it is very disappointing but we should be surprised it is really a measure of the level of political cowardice that we have inside the beltway no one wants to tell the american people the truth which is we have discretion that where we've got to ultimately reduce the size of our government and reduce spending across the boards we're at least twenty years overdue for fuddle change in the way we organize our forces to defend the united states and we're at the end of m

i'm all in favor of america's national security, but then when they turned economic issues or quote unquote social issues they haven't approached him thinking about what the consequences are for national security. what i want to do is increasingly integrate how we spend because then people can think more systematically about the trade-offs. >> the lady weight in the back. thank you. >> on katherine schinasi i'm a reporter. i was just wondering in your section looking at restoration within the country, how you selected the area of focus you decided to focus on? first of all how you select the subject, and secondly are there any others you didn't include in the book perhaps since they didn't work on their own but where you suggest the u.s. played -- plays its focus in terms of solving its domestic problem? >> i chose infrastructure, immigration, schools, the budget and so forth, tax policy just because i thought they were the most important. and i read a lot of literature and as e.j. suggested i' i've nt been reading for a while, and one of, one of for me the interesting parts was to explore

ok tonight i go back to don't you think maybe in the longer term this is a good this crisis quote unquote crisis is a good idea because it makes people more fiscally responsible because that's the only thing that threatens the united states itself well i'd like to believe that a problem is like i said general eisenhower warned us in his closing speech about the military and industrial congressional complex that's why as mentioned before the break senator patty murray from from from washington state democrat pat to me republican senator from pennsylvania both have boeing as a colony so you get people who actually are more worried about their reelection than what's doing what's best for the american people because when i sat in the super committee i predicted they would naturally do nothing productive actually rein in these issues regarding the defense side of the house with that said boeing is actually the most creative of the super contractors because they actually had then a small burger the president comment that the fact that they're going to basically accept that they have to cut and

unquote. the prospect of an eu, us trade agreement was described by the president as a quote, unquote game changer. it was create the largest free trade stone in the world. he says that major effort and political will would be needed to make eu and es rules and regulations compatible. on monday of this week two congressmen, republican of minnesota and richard neal, democrat of massachusetts said quote, members on both sides of the aisle were excited to hear the president mention the importance of trade during his state of the union address and they welcome his notification to congress that he intended to launch the negotiation for the ttit. >> the congressman wants the relationship between the united states and europe to be strong but here's that formula for investment opportunity. one, eliminate the tariffs of tax companies. two, limit cross border trade using advantages of the internet. three, expand access. four, build bridges between the regulatory approaches of europe and of the u. s. doi

their cooperation, they say, with the government is, quote unquote, no longer conditional.the other thing is, they are going to be keeping their currents closer to the vest, even with investors as they move forward an important legal deadline, at the end of july, by which federal prosecutors have to bring any criminal charges against steve cohen in connection with a prior case. so, two interesting elements to this investor letter today. they also said they don't believe the changes in posture that they're adopting, mandy, will have a quote unquote financial impact on their fund. so, essentially warning people. they're not necessarily playing nice guy with the government anymore, where as up nm nuntil they've been entirely cooperative, they said. and they are saying they may not be able to say much between now and july. >> but kate -- i think they said it's not unconditional, right, so, i just -- >> correct, that doesn't mean they're not cooperating, but it's not unconditional, so, what the conditions are, of course, we're left to wonder. it does give the sense that things a

what does, quote, as long as it does not make others uncomfortable, unquote, mean? who decides? how much of this policy did mikey wine steyn influence? -- weinstein influence? these are good questions because if the standard is that you may be allowed to express your religious beliefs unless it makes someone uncomfortable, then that is basically a prohibition of anybody's freedom of religion if they are a christian. le mr. wine steen doesn't -- mr. wine steyn doesn't seem -- mr. weinstein doesn't seem concerned about anyone yelling allah achbar and killing 13 other service members as an expression of religion. he doesn't seem to have found that treasonous or problematic. but some of the rest of us do. common sense that and reason will win out, especially considering the historic nature of our constitution. and those who parrot the words separation of church and state as if they are in the constitution, i find, don't often know that those are not in the constitution and are not aware that thomas jefferson coined that phrase in a letter to the danberry baptists where he also coine

north koreans charged him with committing quote, unquote, hostile acts against the state. bay says he was in the country legally, though. and the timing of the sentencing raises serious questions about north korea's motives. the united states, of course, locked in a standoff with kim jong-un over his nuclear ambitions, and the regime there has a history of using detained americans as a bargaining chip. "outfront" tonight, cnn's dan rivers in seoul with the latest on the situation. dan, what can you tell us about kenneth bay? >> well, he is a naturalized u.s. citizen. he has been running towards into north korea from neighboring china for several years. he's never had any problems. we know he was there with a valid tourist visa. he went to the university of oregon. that's where he then became a naturalized citizen living in washington state. for a while his mother lives in lingwood, washington state. his father still lives here in south korea. it's really a mystery, though, exactly why he's being charged with this attempt to topple the regime, as they're telling us. the who

has put a gun in her mouth and had a message on her chest which essentially was calling for quote unquote the death of fascism now this very public and very strong show of opinion just highlights the kind of divisive nature of the subjects on the gay marriage adoption has had here in france of this is a flagship project ever since he had taken office as a president now where we've also seen a massive protest a stemming from this those opposing of the bill we've seen them continuing to protest still planned in the future as well and if you just look at the numbers now there are several opinion polls which show that support for this a gay marriage bill is between fifty and sixty percent of the. french people however if you look at the number of those supporting adoption of children by gay parents this number goes down to just about forty and fifty percent now it's there are far right militants surely who are supporting this however it's not just those on the extreme right in fact the u.m.p. party that's the center right party of former president nicolas sarkozy they were the ones who had ch

the fed right now is at the end of its third round of quote/unquote quantitative easing. aka qe three. which is for a process by which the fed purchases assets at a current rate of $85 billion a month. this purchase -- the economy. the volume of this qe-three is tied to the state of the economy. a moving target. at -- markets quiver at any hint of the fed adjusting. mr. bernanke's testimony asserted the merits of easing monetary policy and without it, the fear of higher unemployment. but, the fed could begin as early as late july or mid september to taper off its flow of money which it eventually must do. but it could wait until 2014 six months from now. or if the economy were to drop without the qe three easing, the fed could put it foot back on the accelerator. on the petal to the metal, to the qe metal as it were. >> question, why is why is mr. bernanke cautioning that the fed may curb qe-three. what has bernanke so worried? >> what he is worried about is there is a huge amount of money he has put into the financial system of this country. you will have is bubbles if t

jones responded, quote, i don't know, unquote. a report published friday by "the weekly standard" suggests that state department spokesperson victoria newland took issue with the initial talking points and, with backing from the white house, removed any evidence of al qaeda involvement and a prior attack -- and prior attacks on western targets in the region. according to emails reviewed by "the weekly standard," newland said her superiors were concerned about criticism from ongress. you don't have to be trained in the diplomatic corps to understand that if the president of libya, where our cons late was attacked -- consulate was attacked, said is was not a protest, it was n attack by extremists, that since this administration needed his administration's assistance in investigating the matter, that they may have just alienated the president of to and negated efforts bring the people responsible to justice. of course there's no real explanation as to why it would take eight months just to put as has been ures done to try to identify

criticized this week for trying to do what you just suggested, for suggesting that not all quote unquote weapons of mass destruction and chemical weapons ought to be considered something different and i got chastised for that. let's put that aside. you are right, we have a crisis. most recently 2008 and that wasn't enough which is interesting. it's one of the reasons that those who say it's going to take a crisis to shake things up, medium-size crises don't seem to do it. would that suggest to me is the crisis might have to be a truly draconian proportion which reinforces my argument that it's the worst possible way to undertake it. we seem to have a considerable ability to avoid taking tough decisions or we go back to business as usual. we had the situation in newtown connecticut. we had a terrible incident in 90% of the american people wanted action on gun control and we can't even give it a piece of legislation with a fairly basic background check pass. that was a recent example of a crisis that so far at least does not led to political action. the ability to translate from crisis to

you said that the irs had been guilty of quote, horrible customer service, unquote. mr.ned about the irs in recent days goes far beyond horrible customer service. why did you mislead and my colleagues, my fellow senators and most importantly, the american people by failing to tell us what you knew about the exact subject we were asking about? why didn't you tell us? >> mr. hatch, i did not lie. >> you what? >> i did not lie, sir. >> you you lied by omission -- you knew and you should have told us. >> i answered the questions, i answered them truthfully. did i know about the list, yes, not on the first letter, by the way the timing i wouldn't have known about that. the on the second letter, we answered those questions, sir. frankly, the concept of political motivation here,dy not agree with that in may, i do not agree with that now. we were not politically motivated in targeting conservative groups. that's born out by mr. george's report. >> what else could you call it? he just said he hadn't found up till now and today's statement was a little more definitive than the on

them quote, unquote, till you're 99 years old. you're not going to waste them away by saying -- by dismissing them. they are. benghazi is a murky question. it's not a scandal. you go out there and start earmarking, targeting right wing groups in the irs, bird dogging reporters, you got a scandal facing you. i'm sorry. >> look, i think there are going to be some lasting legacies out of this moment. one is, the relationship that the president and the white house have with the press corps has always been contentious. it has not been good. you see his performance at the white house correspondents dinner. there is a sort of cold reluctance to participate in the celebration of the press. he has got to have a sit-down with a paper of record. it has been four years since he has sat down with the "washington post" and "the wall street journal." three years since he sat down with the "new york times." we talk about these issues in and around national security and whistle blowing and leaks and benghazi and drones. part of the reason there is

it will happen but you could certainly for instance look at mali other places west africa as quote unquote the next front without really seriously examining well are there costs and consequences of the u.s. getting involved in these places as opposed to handling it in different ways will there only be more problems for the u.s. to get involved then if they just step back and let it handle be handled in different ways what do you make of the administration's attempts to come up with legal opinions on why it is justified and legal to execute people without due process without a trial. you know they they have basically examined the. did what the bush administration did in terms of of say of defining the world as a worldwide battlefield and say if we find people on that battlefield they are not they are they are they are they are soldiers and their enemy soldiers and they need to be needin need enemy combatants they need they need to be killed i mean there's very in that sense there's very little difference between what president bush authorized and what president obama authorized i'm sure you

that states our parks and they're open space and their assess needs to be protected from development unquote. this will make our famous retail center into a relative dark and cold space ultimately and our beautiful place jessie square dark. it is served as urban open space and we certainly can't afford to ludicrous another one. and it's inconsistent with the city's downtown plan. i don't know if you followed the guards to the city district the interior ratio of the building is actually 28 to one. in a 9 to 1 air district. when they confronted this honorable distortion where they use the parking garage they abandon the floor ratio altogether and this i consider classic spot zoning. finally it's inconsistent with the zoning plan. the plan had a group per - human size buildings that. built i consider at a very human scale. certainly the 50 seed is for more humane than the counter proposals. i urge your commissions to maintain the shadow budget to prevent this outragely massive and dominating building to be regretted by your joint efforts. thank you >> commissioners my name is lynn. i reside and

in terms of quote/unquote security on muni that's the police of our public spaces and that should not be paid directly from muni. it's positive to be moving down from $5 million i hope it's not a one-time change i hope it becomes a permanent baseline >> i hope it's no a permanent baseline i hope it's a first step. >> i was hoping. >> almost all traffic agencies pay for their own security. but there's no other transit agency that pays for the police. again there was a decision made many years ago when the general fund was under constrain we're in a different time now i think it's great to hear frndz the mayor's office >> i understand part of the muni money got swipt over to the police department. but it sound like we're is it a fair statement, to correct that >> and i guess i'll wait until the budget cites to see the mechanism. so that's the good news i'm sorry >> i'm like my colleagues what they said their pleased and they notes the $5 million reduction is being worked out. i'm also i guess i'll see say that i hope you work that out and i don't want to see 7 point something million do

martin say that concession sales are off the chart quote/unquote. that's precisely supervisors why it's important why every other airport in the country requires a percent of gross if it exceeds the guarantee of the concession off the chart. that's why the general fund has benefited to the tune of a million dollars over the past few years because the revenues has exceeded the minimal guarantee. the other comment is mr. martin statsd that the 10 millions was a generous minimal guarantee and he wouldn't have gotten that if he had the gross. supervisors clear channel has paid the airport 9 point that $3 million during poor economical times. we're now in a continual comforted economy with the stock exchange high and in the last seven years is only $7,000 less and with that i would like ms. newman to summarizes our report >> meblz i would just go over the additional information that we've provided in our updated report. as we had previously noted under the exciting 12 year exciting lease oh, the last few years the clear channel actually paid the airport

it has been rated as, quote/unquote, obsolete, clearly, by the federal highway administration. >>> also today, a flight from pakistan to england was diverted earlier this morning after two men threatened to blow up the plane. police say the men had some kind of altercation with the flight attendant and made a threat to blow up this plane. this was a boeing 777, which was carrying 297 passengers. the pilot did notify air traffic control and a fighter jet was scrambled to escort this plane. it was diverted to an airport near london where the two men were then arrested. but at the end of the day, no explosive devices were found. >>> coming up next, a teenager found dead in his school gymnasium. wrapped up in a cheerleading mat. police said no, no foul play. but his parents, after seeing an incredibly gruesome picture of their son, are demanding answers. we have an update on that story. >>> also today, a major development in that case. that is next. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have gr

i've heard from the public we have to consider both pieces of legislation at the same hearing quote/unquote side by side. if it's not eminently obviously we've been trying to take the best ideas from supervisor wiener's legislation and we've been doing this and we'll continue to do this to continue to focus on the best issues. so if we've not had those in front of us at the same time that's not true. i want to give the public the opportunity to a review them. i'd like to ask this to be continued for at least a week so the folks can digest this. so with that i think my session is we continue this item for at least a week and continue the conversation. >> okay. is that a motion to continue? >> and it that with respect to both item? to be continued and i'll support that motion >> i as usual will push for may 20th. i think we have a number of pieces we're trying to figure out the 1 hundred percent of affordable housing piece and some of the pieces on data dumping. this is now going to be our second or third continuance we should have a two week continuance. that's my suggestion but we have 3 me

i came up with the term cross gender at the time to describe what was wrong with me, quote, unquote.t else to call it. i didn't know the word trans sexual. >> new difficult questions arose that he had to deal with that he recalled in a documentary film in 1977. >> if i get my sex changed, everybody will think i'm insane and nobody will love me anymore. i won't have any more family. i don't want to talk about it. at that point i had no idea to change from female to male. at that point i heard of male to female transitions but nothing else. >> these private struggles as well as those of others led him to write a book titled becoming a visible man. the book and speaking engagement has reached many in need of advice and hope. >> i have seen a lot of people to let go of the shame of being transgender. i think the internet has been a huge factor in raising visibility of trans people. many trans people are afraid to go out of their homes. >> reporter: many people don't realize that 41% of transgender people have attempted suicide at some point. compared that to national average of 1.6%. the

you know, i think he feels like he quote, unquote, got away with it or justice was served.ou know, he's the only one that knows that particular truth. i suspect. but i don't think that's going to happen. i really don't. you know, but i think that's, you know, oprah will -- i would never count oprah out. >> no. and he apparently from reports has charmed a lot of his fellow prisoners. he's a coach and other things in prison. we shall see. it will be interesting to see. thank you so much, howard. great to have you in. >> new orleans police are vowing to find the gunman who opened fire at a mother's day parade. 19 people were hurt, two were children. investigators are looking at surveillance video to try to track down the gunman. this is the latest in a series, including one on martin luther king day. >> it's important to change the culture of death and it going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news. is now providing answers fa

. >> you care what the tea party itself says about the internal revenue service quote, unquote crimes. >> this is clearly an over reach of government. they are way outside their bounds. >> many of the tea party groups singled out and operates with small budgets. lawrence is the executive based virginia tea party. mr. norton says the internal revenue see askehis group beginning in 2010 more than two years ago 500 pages of documents including all of norton's communications and the names of every donor. >> it is not creepy, toes honest with you, to figure they were trying to did i have have i out -- trying to give out who we were and questions who the secret police might ask. >> well, is this the way they do this with the internal revenue service in handling tea party applications? >> not specifically but there was a general atmosphere where people felt they were egged on to do this and this was just bureaucracy and there was a filter to do this more efficiently. it's not efficient to ask detailed questions to go back around and delay them for years when you are sweeping the progressive

it was the most normal thing on earth after the people white house and the forma duties of quote/unquote a woman president. a woman first lady. a female >> right. what? >> social activists >> that would be eleanor roosevelt who by the way also used to visit the troops as you point out to >> she was fearless in world war 2. she flew into combat zones, places that were being bombed to visit the troops >> herbert hoover has a poor reputation because of the depression. but maybe that is quite undeserved but his wife, >> i liked lou a lot. studied geeologiy and mining engineering at a tim when - >> did she go into the mountains to did herrifle headee air as >> we only have a few seconds. wasn't pat nixon a ver stronghe helped write speeche and craft papers and came from a very humbl background born in a minin town in >>> were any of the first because she would go int fits at the time and for a long time people thought it was mental disorder. >> depression.e whole 4 years basically in depressio trying to contact the spirits of her dead children through sayances. quite a tragic figure. do you t

clearly president obama is not directly involved in any of the quote, unquote scandals yet. >> we don't know that yet. >> neil: we don't know that yet. >> benghazi is not a scandal. it's inat the a incompetence anl mallfeasance. the irs has low level people that acted badly. >> don't blow off the political ramifications of this. let's face it. we have mid term elections coming up. i don't think this has a big impact on the economy or the markets for the reasons i laid out, but this is a political problem. the incompetence of the obama administration where one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing, where the president appointseople that are idiotic, make idiotic mistakes. when benghazi is clely just a horrendous example of incompetence. that will reflect on the president and that will hurt him politically. >> sir, with great respect -- sir, with great respect to my colleagues, benghazi is not incompetence. benghazi is outright malfeasance, criminal cover up. >> i agree with you. >> that is so true. >> neil: go ahead, adam. >> what we're u all agreed on is there's a thin connecti

relationship with pakistan, they are our bed fellow in our war on terror, quote unquote. and u.s. approval in pakistan is at 11%. is an incredibly difficult contentious relationship. the drone strikes have not made it easier. i wonder what you foresee in the next few years in terms of that relationship? can this speech, can a pivot in our counterterrorism policy change that relationship measurably? >> it's a fascinating question. it is the sort of intensely dysfunctional relationship the united states has with pakistan. now pakistan has just elected a new prime minister who got elected, no surprise, on a largely anti-american platform. but he's going to have to lead and he's going to have to deal with the united states. one of the things the times reported today was that the c.i.a. was gradually going to be giving up drone strikes in pakistan and move those to the military. that would require some kind of a joint arrangement between the u.s. military and the pakistani military. that will be very interesting to see how that deal is made. because as we know pakistan has not publicly

if you take each of these quote/unquote scandals. doj would be a scandal if the president was involved. >> exactly. >> the irs, it's completely unrealistic to expect that he would have knowledge of what was happening in low-level bureaucrats in cincinnati. he's not a god. but, remember, guys, back in the beginning of his first term when he was the autocratic dictator of all the czars? >> yes. >> remember that? >> go back to those days. >> back in court, we're watching two tabloid cases today for some reason. first, in phoenix, convicted killer jodi arias is back from the sentencing phase. right now, the jury is weighing what is calls aggravating factors on whether arias should be sentenced to death. if the jury decides this crime was cruel, the defense then begins mitigation in a last-ditch effort to save her life. while in vegas, o.j. simpson is on the stand trying to convince the judge that his lawyer botched the robbery case. o.j. wants a judge to overturn his 9 to 33-year prison sentence claiming his then lawyer poorly advised hi
