and i voice of america again and the radio and t.v. marti i have been complete waste of millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollar. i mean absolutely everybody knows that voice of america is the department of state propaganda operation but the much more powerful for example is an outage like c.n.n. which broadcasts in spanish all throughout latin america and it's a reference really of news throughout this entire region and so again it's promoting a u.s. perspective u.s. opinion u.s. agenda and obviously as per the u.s. government so i mean you know the and now that they're extending more into internet and seeing that they're allocating more fines in danger now i think that the the b.g. or u.s. state department propaganda could be have a larger impact over cyberspace than it does over the airwaves in the television ways and certainly i mean over the past few years other countries have been catching up and doing much better designed broadcast and of their own state apparatus than what the b.b.c. has been doing i mean yeah i think that

report but overall i mean the us propaganda media like voice of america or radio marti the t.v. marti the radio free europe which actually radio for europe probably had more of an impact than the others i mean in general you know voice of america is not a major international media but i think what also people forget is that outlets like fox news for example which are also broadcast even here ministry and cable and satellite have a tremendous impact in promoting u.s. propaganda and even if they're not official state department propaganda outlets they're still broadcasting the point of view of the united states in promoting u.s. agenda around the world to the u.s. actually has an apparatus a media apparatus much larger than just what's out what's coordinated by the b.b.c. and and this is what i think as a as a broader impact in a much more powerful impact around the world in promoting us agenda and does it have an impact though i shaping public opinion in places like venezuela because commentary i've heard from people in regards to these u.s. funded operations is that people in t

the lack of the truly alternative voice in the media has had serious consequences for the development for them of this issue of the russian society in my opinion and it is sheer the voice of america consequently filling an important vacuum voice of russia seems to be seeking to feel a similar information back. that many see in the u.s. media basically a lot of american media they will ask a democrat and a republican in the same question and then call it a day i mean that's that's a gram is what is we're hearing both sides is going to member it's not just the both sides and certainly not just those two sides it's not about truth or law it's about perspectives and i strongly believe that the american audience lonely when from the variety of perspectives the radio audience in america is growing and with the demand for more voices and more perspectives and it seems a certainty that in the wake of the voice of russia other foreign stations will be launched in the last will really benefit from the right in the media always the viewers and the listeners i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. and speaking of alternative voices and stigma. it's time for another installment

you mentioned in your testimony about voice of america being able to go on to that radio and talk about autism. have you been back with voice of america speaking and beyond that, how have you found the media? are they a good partner in getting the word out? has the media been helpful, and if not, could you maybe talk to us about how that would look if they were going to become a partner in this. >> voice of america -- they invited me, as a matter of fact, last april i was there, april 2 was autism awareness day. i was there, and they've been very helpful in passing the information around because the audiences in africa, and i get a lot of feedback from africa seeing me on voice of america. i've been back on voice of america, and i hope in the future they will keep inviting me, and we can have a close partnership. as far as where i've been on tv, they saw -- i'm going to use the word ignore rapt about the subject, but they don't know how to handle it. i think when you address these types of issues when it comes to health, it's always important in africa when you have the approval of the

civilian international broadcasting this includes voice of america radio free europe radio free asia t.v. marti and in the middle east they have radio saw one alpha draw television so all of those broadcast from the u.s. and also another of their goals is the capability to provide a surge capacity to support united states foreign policy objectives during crises abroad so i know that was kind of a little bit of a lesson but i did think it was necessary to kind of break down what some of these other stations consider their purpose which is very similar to our teas and how a lot of them get their funding which is also very similar to our t. so that if you want to call a state funded fine go ahead but if you're going to call a duck a duck is n.p.r. so eloquently put it in my i want to take a look at the pond we're all swimming in and that's going to do it for now from one of the stories we covered you can go to our tea dot com slash usa you can check out our you tube page too it's youtube dot com slash r t america and you can follow me on twitter at lauren lyster and way and i what you th

out and champion this as kind of a good thing as a success they welcomed it the report from voice of america for example or that libyan rebel leaders are you know excited and welcome these charges so why is that reaction if the u.s. dismisses this court entirely. because the united states knows this violates its sovereignty and criminals in our government know that they could be charged for war crimes by the kangaroo court and they also we have large constituencies like ron paul and others that understand we have our supreme court we don't need this i.c.c. our jurisprudence our common law is the best in the world no one can debate that and so there's still the stooge will. movements to keep us out of the world court the i.c.c. any of these groups so it's a complex issue but the world court the i.c.c. they discredit themselves in look imo neither side muslim crow or or sir i studied it and even though you want to ditch the croats and muslims kill double the serbs that serbs killed so why aren't they hold up well the serbs were the main power base and had to be removed so the e.u. could come i

out and champion this as kind of a good thing as a success they welcomed it the reports from voice of america for example are that libyan rebel leaders are you know excited and welcome these charges so why that reaction if if the u.s. dismisses this court entirely because the united states knows this violates a chandran team and criminals in our government know that they could be charged for war crimes by the kangaroo court and they also have large constituencies like ron paul and others that understand we have our supreme court we don't need this i.c.c. our jurisprudence our common law is the best in the world no one can debate that and show there's still bush digital. movements to keep us out of the world court the i.c.c. any of these groups so it's a complex issue you said that the united states already has a supreme court that this is the american justice that's all that that america needs it doesn't need its sovereignty violated as you said we just heard that the u.s. supreme court has refused to hear the case to revive the lawsuit of great against contractors now this was in two thousan

america. on the voice of one of the over his fellow russian nearly universally now you had a straight sets win their. other russians making it into the next round of christmas so the twelve c. coming back from a set down to be china shy young however twenty eight c. russian catherine the miscarriage lost to sight of caylee there because then you've heard about a small upset beating israel here it was the twenty two c. . well french open final francesca schiavone also progress needing three sets against a strange dockage six four one six six three the score in this one. to two. this match was really tough for me. so i think keeping going playing. much more chance to play better. for next. to prove and stealing plenty of the limelight was five time former champion venus williams you got a straightforward win against google. and was pleased to get through the pressure of the first round. come in to any major you know there's a little bit of. tension. an ally of a lot of exploitation players do in practice which i've been hearing the boys really world. you know especially have been played a lot to

>> as i have traveled my 13 years, working voice of the martyrs, i ask, i am going back to america, how can we help you? what can we do for you? first answer is pray for us. that is what they want. they want us to lift them in prayer. we are linked together as the family of god and need to hold each other up. prayer is the first request of our persecuted brothers and sisters. >> what are some of the greatest needs? advocacy, political response, economic response? what are their greatest needs? >> one of the interesting things is how they ask us to pray. i think about myself, if i was being persecuted. my first request would be pray that the persecution stops. that is not what they say. pray that we'll be faithful in christ. pray that they can hold strong to their faith even as they face challenges like persecution. >> you work for a great group, voice of the martyrs, you live and breathe the persecuted church. let the entire world know about our fellow brothers and sisters suffering for their faith. what can viewers do specifically that brings them the concrete results they see in terms

of the future for america. because i want to bring of voice, your voice, to the white house, just as i brought your voice to thef the united states congress to secure the promise of the future, not only for our generation, but for the generations yet to come. i often say that everything i need to know, i learned in iowa. [applause] i learned those lessons at hawthorne elementary, at a valley park elementary, and at my home, which is a very short distance from where we're standing today. because this is where my iowa routes were firmly planted. and it is these iowa roots my faith in god that guide me today. i am is descended of generations of violence. and i know what it means to be from iowa. -- i am a descendant of generations of iowans. the values out to make iowa, and my mother called it the breadbasket of the world. and those values are the best of all of us put together, which we must recapture to secure that promise of the future. waterloo was very different five decades ago when i was here. that elementary school building was much younger then, and i have to admit, so was i. five decades ago. five decade

of america. the greatest country the world has ever seen. during the brief years i feel that my job is to bring the voice of the people in the halls of congress. and politicians started to pay attention to your voice when brought into washington, d.c. and my goal is to take your voice into the white house, where it hasn't been heard for a very long time. and in order to do that, and to be successful in 2012, we need to engage a strategy of the three-legged stool. and the stool is this, we need to add peace through strength republicans. and i am one of those. and we need to add the fiscal conservative leg, and i am one of those. and we most certainly need to add the social conservative, and i am one of those. and we need the tea party movement. [applause] the liberals want you to think that the tea party is just a radical fringe of the republican party. there is a reason why the left is absolutely aapeplexic about the tea party movement, because here is the truth about the tea party movement. it's an idea. and it's made up of disaffected democrats that have had it up to here with barack obama, it's made of independents who have had it up to he

voice of russia radio host. says he doesn't believe congress will pull the plug on america's involvement. the problem is that when there was a prior lawsuit during clinton's foray into the former yugoslavia dennis consideration of a group of other congressmen even at that time filed a very similar lawsuit saying that it was illegal and it went to a district court but the district court said in the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are star you know going to support the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say that we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department of funds discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be if it works in you know to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. of evolution in egypt first seemed more successful than the vicious stalemate in li

that way that the reality of the situation as president obama continues to downplay america's involvement in libya live from the u.s. capitol that's all we have time for voice of russia radio host common russell so chance he thank you. and coming up here on r t it's a woman's a world at the bottom of the earth to join a russian filmmaker during her eleven month research expedition in antarctica to hear why she's been drawn to work in icy isolation. the u.s. judge is casting doubt on the charges against alleged russian victor boot calling the prosecutor's evidence against him thin boots accused of smuggling arms to colombian rebels labeled by the u.s. as terrorists and is currently awaiting trial in new york jail his lawyers asked the judge to dismiss the charges claiming they don't prove new the arms would be used against america it was extradited to the u.s. from thailand last year when he was arrested in an american sting operation in march of two thousand and eight. let's bring you up to date now on some other top stories from around the world at this hour demonstrators have taken to the streets in towns and cities across syria in a fresh round of protes

of the fact you're in america. you can't see him here. what you'll hear here is his voice. >> let's take america as an example. america is absolutely awash with easily obtainable fierps. >> i could continue to play the sound of him you can forgive me if i cannot stomach that. i will quote him, he says you can go down at a gun show at the convention center and come away with an assault rifle without a background check and most likely without showing an identification card. so what are you waiting for? you're not going to believe he says the last part in the al qaeda videos. so i'll prove it. >> so what are you waiting for? >> truth be told, getting a fully automatic assault rifle is going to be hard even at a gun show. semiautomatic no problem. fully automatic a problem. you do general vi have to show an identification card even at a gun show. what he says about not needing a background check, that's true. >> no background check? >> no. >> that's good. i probably couldn't pass it. >> i need proof of arizona residence is all i need. >> that's me. that's arizona. >> that's all i need. >> videos from mayors against

[applause] you know, the voices of division cry out that america's fiscal and economic crisis deserveat government spending, budget deficits and the national debate are out of control, and other matters are unrelated and must be put aside. one prominent political figure, a man who actually has compiled an impressive record on health care, economic policy and other topics even called for a truce on the core social issues. ironically, the priority of his own family -- a priority i commend him for embracing -- has dissuaded him from seeking higher office. now, this is not a unique circumstance for one conservative leader. its spirit, family first, partakes of our nation's founding spirit. read the letters of washington, jefferson, madison, and you'll find there the abiding sense that they were not here to exalt the enterprises of government, but to preserve the liberties they most enjoyed in the meadows of mount vernon and montpelier. we aim to recover that spirit. in fact, we must insist upon it. to accomplish this goal in a time of eternal uncertainty and external threat is no small ta

and a lot of kids especially when you see the reality show and america got talent and america got voice and america got -- whatever the number. these kids want to be stars. and i'm sure you run into that -- you taught at yale and nyu, stanford. what do you tell aspiring actors as the best advice that you could give them for starting out. >> letters for young artist is my book too we were joking about a minute ago is all about. that what i try -- first of all, becoming a star is a bunch of variety of things that you may or may not have control over. i don't actually think myself that's a very good pursuit and you have to question why you are pursuing that in a society that is full of celebrity and reveer it for good reasons and bad reasons. one reason is to find out something about you and bless all over the world that you don't want people to know. it's not necessarily a great predicament. we will call tapredicament. but again i think that what you can do with this natural ability that you have to attract attention is turn the camera passed you going on in something in the world. and an

america has stood for the side of freedom in this arab spring. america has stood for people that don't have a voice for themselves. don't let a dispute between the legislative branch and executive branch result in us pulling the rug out from standing up for freedom. america has a responsibility to finish this through. to stand with our allies. to leave now means gaddafi wins. period. i urge a no vote to this resolution and i thank my colleae for yielding and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from florida mr. rooney: mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to my friend from oklahoma, mr. cole. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized for two minutes. mr. cole: i thank you, mr. speaker, and i thank the gentleman for yieldi. i rise, mr. speaker, in reluctant opposition to this amendment. of this resolution. it's well intentioned, without question. it's meant to limit our involvement in libya, it's meant to support our allies and it's meant to rein in a president who in my opinion is conducting an illegal and certainly unauthorized
