: well, 2010. have you read shuman's report? the other thing they're saying is these people will die quickly. they will quickly go to cardiopull my their death, correct? >> host: it depends how they manage them in the hospital. sometimes they can last months as you note in your book. >> guest: twenty years. >> host: that i'm not familiar with. >> guest: twenty years. before the -- the president's council on bioethics actually accepted -- >> host: yeah. >> guest: -- shoeman's paper as true. and he pointed out there were 150 cases as opposed to zero where people did survive longer than the week. well, you know, when brain death first was promoted they said a couple hours to a day. if you're brain dead, you put your back on the ventilator, you've got very little time before you go directly to your heart stops beating. >> host: okay, fair enough, there's variation in time. >> guest: variation? twenty years. >> host: what about the quality of life? >> guest: yeah. >> host: that was not something, and so

well i think the key currency and one that we haven't talked about so far apart from well being and and your usual everyday dollars and pounds is our environmental resources and this is one thing this is one reason why it does make sense you could perhaps if you were living one hundred two hundred years ago i might have said oh you know government doesn't have a role it's not in wellbeing it's not you know it's not it's not necessary for government to get it through interfering in theory but at the moment we have a situation where our environmental resources are getting more and more constrained and i'm almost thirty nine billion people on the planet and by twenty fifty the planet isn't getting any bigger the amount of resources we're having is in fact getting less and we do need to start thinking a little bit more seriously about whether we have enough resources to achieve the kind of quality of life that some people at least have been enjoying in the in the beginning of this century and the last century and the evidence just that we don't have enough and that's one of the reasons why

we do mention bank of america and union battles as well. they are our banking partners as well. wells fargo is still here. that describes itself as a community financial institutions as well. they do a lot of philanthropy. we are talking about on e part of the work that is not as strong as it can be to protect households against defaults. we need other banks to help from moving toward foreclosure. there are a bank that is based in san francisco. the federal reserve last july had penalized wells fargo at $85 million. other banks have not received such a penalty before around the foreclosure crisis. that was the reason for wanting to include wells fargo in the release. i think it makes a stronger statement. >> colleagues, can i say that i am supportive of the process of the drafting of the resolution? i understand the sentiments. and being even-handed against all banks instead of singling out one that is are locally based bank. i will be supporting the process of the original language. can we call a roll call on the motion? >> i am not in -- critical of the inclusion of the langua

>> well, it's hard to say. you know, who knows what remained buried in the sands of palestine but -- >> do you draw hope from the rapprochement that may take place between syria and israel? >> i think anything that opens up the land to exploration, archeological exploration is going to be helpful. >> you think there's a lot more there/. >> you don't think it was bethlehem. >> that's right. >> there was a controversial word used by jeffrey sheler a year ago and that was mary was a virgin at the time she gave birth to jesus, correct, that's what he said? >> no, jeffrey said that's what the gospel writers said, am i correct? >> that's right. >> quoting the gospels, thank you for the correction, i'm glad to see the principles of scholarship are being enforced here. >> makes a difference. >> you don't believe mary is a virgin or that the gospels make the case that she was a virgin at the time of the birth? >> certainly both -- matthew specifically and luke more subtly claimed that she is a virgin. mark says nothing.

well, it wasn't me. talk to the press about an open investigation, and i wouldn't, i mean, not without proof. well, who... who do you think gave the story to the press? uh... they might have seen an advance copy of an article set to run in the journal of political science. really, charlie, you did this? what i did was i submitted an article detailing my recent research. charlie, you can get into a lot of trouble. yeah, it's possible but it's unlikely because, look, i-i used information that's in the public record. and the organizational theory i performed linking tuttle's firm to brasher's campaign to tru-poll, th-that's all mathematically solid. the journal leaked it? yeah. they sent out a summary to the general press. it's extremely difficult to prevent a scientist from publishing his research. academic freedom is big in this country. yeah, apparently so. yeah, so tuttle wasted his time. he wasted all that money trying to devise his little scheme. it was all useless... (doorbell rings) ...because now t

and he has had some personal experience with wells fargo as well."the young turks." >> hi how are you today? >> great. first tell me what your group is. >> it is based in the bay area in san francisco, but it is more of a national group. our group along with a few other groups bonded together. >> i love my spanish. all right. wallace what happened with you and wells fargo? >> well i had a -- i bought my home in 1988. i'm a retired school teacher, and i was approached by the -- a mortgage lender and he gave me a $450,000 loan, and that happened to be from wells fargo. it ballooned -- just skyrocketed out of proportion. i mean it went from $450,000 to 850. okay. it was to the point where i couldn't even -- i couldn't live because i couldn't pay the mortgage. i end up selling everything i practically had just to stay above water. i went to wells fargo to try to get them to work with him. i called them. i wrote them letters, but to no avail. so i finally went into bankruptcy, and wells fargo just -- they didn't come to my aide at all. they sold my house

it hurt her skin it was it was burning on fire she was well steve began to develop symptoms as well i feel dizzy. i could well he knows as chris is health began to deteriorate rapidly she began losing her sight had severe headaches and had pain in her hands and feet there were two surgeries to remove a chiller terri tumor and she developed a rare neurological speech impairment but i thought i thought i was the same all the same. for. i've had several patients who have. been having symptoms since the time that they were exposed to world gas exploration near their homes these are all people in a small cluster around right. last year e.p.a. got several citizens' requests from garfield county and the citizens were saying gosh my drinking water might be contaminated by this practice or the air we breathe might be affected e.p.a. can you look into it e.p.a. should of. myself and another staff person we had prepared the letters and we were we were ready to write to the colorado oil and gas commission that we felt that this practice cause him in a substantial risk to public drinking water sou

well, a year ago, that was arab territory." there's still this business of, "sorry, you have to move on." and when you think about the situation of the indigenous peoples of this continent and how, "well, here's your reservation. no, i'm going to move further"- they're still getting pushed around, and that's messing with their mind, ethically. yeah, janet? >> right now what they're doing, i think, is they're refusing construction permits for palestinian houses, so you can't add a room addition on to your house while they're building those new subdivisions for the other people. so they're squeezing them that way- they're saying, "well, we don't care if your son or daughter got married and now you need more- no, you can't build onto your house." >> and as virginia said, it's not having rights, and without rights, you can't obey your obligations, you can't obey your responsibilities, and it puts you in ethical conflict right there. now to get in this extraordinary material we have, hold onto the questions. i want to kind of shift

well, it's an accommodation issue. one of the ways that my program stepping stone has had to adapt is we have so many clients who are hiv positive or have aids, that we have to be medication savvy. you know, many treatment programs will have kind of a blanket prohibition on psychoactive drugs or, you know, heavy-duty medications. we-we decided years ago that we couldn't- we couldn't hold to that. that our clients who either had co-occurring disorders and required psychoactive medication or who were on the various cocktails they needed as a part of their hiv/aids treatment really needed a treatment program that was very savvy about that. so we began to develop some case management services with funding from the hiv/aids side as well as co-occurring. and i think, as a result, our clients have a much better access to recovery because their medications are not being prohibited by the treatment program. john's point is well taken; it's not just individual with hiv/aids, it's people with co-morbidities that require medicatio

well the positive of the u.k. as you can see was totally calculated i was there when they issued the brown report which is a classic sort of neo liberal document where they say well of course nobody would ever want an education except to future there to further their you know future life income it is assumed that everybody is a selfish greedy bastard like themselves and isn't actually interested in education understanding of the world who cares if i just want more money of course this is what really offended students in the student movement the most every single occupation began by saying no education is a value unto itself we're doing this because we love it but here's the interesting thing what they then did was they tripled tuition and they made everybody effectively take out student loans which effectively poorest people to act like those sort of calculating greedy people they had a ridge. really imagine them to be now it's funny in the u.k. of course it started off with this notion of a top of c. which sounde

programs as well. supervisor avalos: i have a question. occasionally, when there is a homicide or very traumatic event, my office -- we tried to help the victims in some way or another. is the best access point for us through crisis response network? sometimes, we actually help with arranging services for the funeral or fund raising. what is the best way to access to the family, would you say, for families experiencing extreme trauma? >> you can access our office, and we could help link you. the crisis response -- they use an evidence-based treatment model, which is cognitive behavioral therapy. many of the clients they see -- most of -- 100% of the clients they see have been exposed to numerous traumas, which are similar to the struggles as the combat veterans. they continually are traumatized. it is chronic, ongoing exposure in their community. the challenges that we hear that our clients their fear of crossing different barriers to access, treatments to go to school, to go to work, in neighborhood c

well, obviously that's not right. and he really represented the people who lived there, sort of there was a kind of gilded youth in the early 17th century. europeans were beginning to come, trade was, the external world was picking up amount ofnd was in a pictorial way chronicling this. and so we get a painting like this, which is extremely rhythmic and really focusing on the individuals, even though as portraits we wouldn't see them that way because they're very idealized in their faces. we don't know exactly who they are. but it does get the mood across. >> the next thing is the study of a blue bull. this is in 1589, to 1626, the blue bull. >> he doesn't look blue in this painting but in fact when you see the animal, it'sot ts srt o bluish, this gray, in reality, which has a ting of sort of smoky blue about it and the name of this animal in india is n-e-i-l gui which means blue bull. this is very much a animal favorite 100ed by the mughal. sheila brought up the issue of the idealized figure in the iranian world. and

and oil well waste. and somehow with fracking we decided well we don't have to have so many restrictions oil well drilling is is expensive because we want to turn safely i've been down in the amazon. juggling in south america where chevron was drilling is almost no restriction it's a poisonous no this cancer child kenya is our epidemic we don't want to bring that to the united states i hate to see it happen in south america a lot to talk about unfortunately we're out of time but thank you very much for coming on the show that was a great palace and that's the good of journalist and author of cultures i think. well as the weather warms up occupiers are aiming to revive the movement but there are signs that the civil war is brewing within the occupy lawless within occupy wall street that organizations like move on dot org jumping on ed some say the establishment left is trying to co-opt a movement to get president obama reelected suck more about the future of the movement i'm joined now by jesse leg raca a

well you know the right wing in arizona and. right wing circles in the country truly believes that they're the best political formula for them to gain vaults by the election time certainly this next this coming november is by targeting communities in the past not have really meant votes for them and so i think that this is like a cynical ploy. on their part. they nor the you know that these politics has run its course none the less keep proving that they don't have the imagination to really increase the latino community the latino vote or to support. republican policies even though they keep cleaning that latinos at heart. are republican you know because of the wholly sure what portion and other such policy issues but saw also you leave me gun fun bit to try and explain rationally why is it that republicans keep pursuing policies that push them further and further away from that like you know border and activist proposed legislation one. i guess i just want to get your take i mean early two million dollars coming from arizona ge

legacy how was the family well that's another good question. i would say it depends on the family the europeans are going to leave law there but . i have a genealogy family and my guess is that there are over two hundred. fifty of them living people living people dozens of families yes. here is that right now is that the reason for that is that his son alexander had a very large family he had ten children. and they of course had their children you know so branched out very quickly and then. the other two children their parents and had one of them never had any children but the other or you know did have and her family also spread. she had four children over. in the states and europe you know so if. you're around and so some of them are coming for this event and i hope to meet some out a lot of them of course i don't know but i'm looking forward to really like the push hands of the tolstoy and see exactly what i can you judge how. far really here is this legacy is steady it's by historians by. by the. well thanks to as you point out thanks to is

ok well that doesn't seem so let's see what happens. especially legs when the water ok ok been. in storage or got a look for anything in certain. i guess checking the person from france or rare is to be expected but it doesn't stop there spread your legs the water ok ok look i mean as we please. if he's uncircumcised ask him to pull back and forth. be professional and work. that's right a normal strip search is very very thorough you could say not a note or cranny is left unturned and while that video seems quite absurd that is a reality of what does happen in these sort of searches and keep in mind these days that the u.s. has the highest incarceration rate in the world to put in perspective there are more people under correctional supervision in america than the current population of the state of massachusetts and of the thirteen million arrests each year seven hundred thousand of them are over minor offenses now this all comes in an age where more and more americans are corn fell over the pat downs the t.s.a. performs very airport security screenings i can guarantee you a str

and as well as industry. so let me step back just a little bit so we understand what an unconventional resource a little bit better. this diagram is sort of a cartoon, cross section to the earth. conventional oil and gas resources occur in pools or reservoirs that are constrained on the top and on the sides by impermeable zones. and they often have an oil/water contact or gas/water contact. and unconventional resources, we technically refer to them as con tenuous resources because the oil resource or gas resources is distributed con tenuously through the formation at depth. and the rock is so impermeable or tight and that's why we need to use techniques such as hydro fracking and horizontal drilling to extract the resource. one example of the resource assessment is our recently completed marcellus shale gas assessment in the northeastern united states. being from this area, you probably heard of it, or maybe not. but at the bottom, i list here what our mean estimate, which was 84 trillion cubic feet of gas. b

well. it's technology innovation all the least of melanin still around russia we've got the future coverage. we've had with the city just joins a very well not a lot here in moscow top stories about plane crash in russia in siberia kills thirty one on board after the aircraft went down just minutes following takeoff people survived the accident possibly thanks to the attempted emergency landing a technical failure or a buildup of ice on the french italian made aircraft among the main courses being investigated. the international envoy to syria tells the un security council damascus has agreed to start implementing a ceasefire from april the tenth that's the friends of syria group reportedly on the probable position part is criticized by russia for undermining you went back to peace efforts. and the much anticipated reform registration for political parties in russia a controversial response from the position leaders fear the legislation prompted by mass protests will result in too many fact

and we just wish him well. so we're delighted he's here. >> so with key republicans rallying around him, mitt romney sounds like he's done with the primary season and on to the presidential election. he's making direct attacks now on president obama, and describing what he would do to change the system. >> america is on the cusp of having a government-run economy. president obama is transforming america into something very different than the land of the free, and the land of opportunity. and we know where that transformation leads. there are other nation that have followed that path. and it leads to chronic high unemployment, crushing debts, and stagnant wages. sound familiar? i don't want to transform america. i want to restore to america the values of economic freedom and opportunity, and small government that have made this nation the leader of the world. and i'll get that job done. [ applause ] freedom, and opportunity have made america the most powerful economy in the world. let me say that again. what mad

>> well, i can't speak for him. i know from the time that i watched, it was entirely on the grass. >> were the police receptive to your attempts to fill them in on further details after this incident? >> well, we had a community meeting with everyone in my development and the police officers came and said it was very critical if anybody has anything to say or something that they witnessed, and actually they left their business cards on our doors. and i just know for me, i called the lead detective twice and i still have not received a phone call back. >> are you surprised by that? >> um, i just thought that they would call me back. >> again, a witness in the case of the shooting of trayvon martin, afraid to show her identity but at least speaking with us in silhouette to tell her story. as to the allegation that the sanford police weren't terribly interested in the re-enactment or at least a tour of the crime scene that she witnessed, the scene she witnessed of the altercation i should say, we called the police for

he apparently sees wells personally and wells turns him down later. a few days later, i writes in, how about $10,000 now and $100,000 when i blow up the merrimac. he cut his price. the navy officers were none too amused by these private contractors wanting to do what they couldn't. louie goldsboro writes to his friend, gus davis fox saying, what is become of the $100,000 blowing-up man. has his scheme collapsed or is the water too cold? secret inventions are proposed. there are people that write in and say, my invention is so unbelievable, i can't tell you what it is. i can give you a rough outline but i really can't tell you everything. although, it can whip anything afloat. they also insist that i will tell my idea to the president alone. the secretary of war, maybe navy. louie winter bauer writes in and the navy writes back saying, thank you for suggesting your idea. however, we can not judge it because you gave us no particulars. everyone wants to get in on the act. lincoln gets an unexpected letter from an unexpected source. a pastor from a bapti

>> well, i can start with what we don't like as well.tate of the world, equities by default, we call it the least worst alternative. corporate bonds where the yields are getting kind of low. >> you don't see those as a hedge or as a safe haven play as some people, that would be the reason why some people would buy a treasury security right now? >> treasuries are return-free risk. >> yes. >> so would you stay away from those right now? >> i would stay away from those. we can get yield if we need to and equities. the stocks that i mentioned are anywhere from 2 to 4%, we have principle protection in real terms because we believe they can grow as well. the treasury bond cannot grow. >> all right. first eagle funds, thank you. >> on fast money, coming up, shawn reynolds tells us where he is finding opportunities in energy. that's coming up. "fast money" 5:00 p. eastern time. >> what else is coming up on "fast money"? melissa? >> we are tracking the winners and losers and following the conference calls of qualcomm and ebay and american express

and you know the saying if you use snooze you lose well the u.s. may miss out on love needed oil of washington doesn't make up its mind about the keystone pipeline fast because while american politicians debate environmental standards other countries are ready to make america's dreams their own i'll tell you all about canada's crude intention. to. stay out of the. scoring points for ron paul one video game creator is making out to make libertarianism cool again and you can help ron paul two in his class take on the fed and g.o.p. rivals all from the comfort of your couch. it's friday april thirteenth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching our team. well it's no question that the world is changing socially politically and economically and with the u.s. and the u.s. economy is not as robust as they once more and emerging economies such as brazil russia india and china rapidly growing geopolitics will like the look of notch much different than it does today but what exactly will this new world look like when you predict it w

well, warren buffett is not alone. we have another member here who is wealthy and says that others like him should be taxed more. joining us now from d.c. is whitney tillson and his assistant who has a higher tax rate than the boss. well-known to cnbc viewers. whitney, i understand you heard our previous conversation with rick. probably none too pleased. what is your beef with the conversation? the numbers were spot-on. >> yes. they were. there are two problems to the point that i should just write a check. i'm not going to pay anymore taxes than a vacuum. what needs to happen is a comprehensive budget deal with $2.5 billion in spending cuts for every dollar in increases. there have to be revenue increases. there's no sane honest person in the planet and i realize i excluded most of congress with that statement, believe we can get back under control without some revenue increases. taxes are going to have to go up on tens of millions of people. somebody has to go first. who should go first? and who should do not only th

that had a bad rating of course you would what about a bond government bond stays over max keiser well we're going to look at that you know one of the biggest bond in the world is the u.s. treasury bond it runs the entire world so i'm going to flashback to oh about three or four weeks ago even jones downgrades us a from double a plus to double a out look negative there's a big trend around the world sovereigns around the world are downgrading america's triple a rated credit this is actually another a second downgrade a trend toward downgrading u.s. debt exactly now that's egan jones their credit rating agency. headline this week s t c pursues egan jones moody's and s. and p. remain at large the securities exchange commission voted thursday in favor of bringing in administrative action against egan jones in what would be an unprecedented move the f.c.c. could seek to punish the firm by stripping it of its ability to issue officially recognized ratings on securities tied to government debt and asset backed deals an f.c.c. spokesman declined to comment the move stems from alleged material

wells fargo bank building.aybe a strategic move on their part to keep the action away from the bank. right now the crouse measured in dozens rather than the thousands -- thousands that organizers said they expected. we understand from the police as many as 400 may be on their way here marching from justin herman plaza. we have pictures of people going into the meeting earlier they were asked for their picture id's and stock certificates to prove they were wells fargo shareholders and entitled to go into the meeting. most that we talked to said they were in support of the protests. >> i think this is a very legitimate protest that wells fargo have 21 billion in unpaid taxes. they also are invested in private prisons and these are all an innag ma to working-class across the country -- >> i think it will depend on how many shares people have. >> reporter: wells fargo has issued a statement saying wells fargo respects the rises of americans to peacefully assemble our focus will be the safety of our customers, team

he sees wells personally and wells turns him down. so he he sasays, how about $10, now and $100,000 when i blow up the merrimac? he lessened his price. louis goldsboro writes to his friend saying, what has become of the $100,000 blowing up man? has his scheme collapsed or is the water too cold? secret inventions are also proposed. in fact, there are people who write in that say, my invention is so unbelievable, i can't tell you what it is. i can give you a rough outline, but i really can't tell you everything, although it can whip anything afloat. and they also insist that i will tell my idea to the president alone, or, if the president is not available, the secretary of war, maybe navy. in fact, louis winterbauer writes in and the navy says, thank you for suggesting your idea, however, we cannot judge it because you gave us no particulars. in fact, everyone wants to get in on the act. lincoln gets a letter from an unexpected source, a pastor from a baptist church in new hampshire, william sausen, who writes in saying, i have perfecte

>> well, to never say never. just in the last two years in which i wrote this book and sold the book, it became a very different ending. you know, by meeting christian. i said i would never get married again, i'd never do "dancing with the stars," they'd asked me every single season to do it. >> you were fantastic on that show. >> thank you. i had a really tough time and i also look back on it and i miss it and i miss my partner, derek. it's one of the accomplishments of my life that i'm most proud of. >> you should have won it. you got the most votes. >> you're so sweet. i did get the highest scores, but jr was a war hero. i was never going to beat a war hero who could dance. he was a really good dancer too. it was a life-changing experience for me. i also said i would never go back to daytime tv, here i am eating crow and going back to work. >> you're also wasting away. >> oh, you're very sweet i'm wearing black. >> you have lost a staggering amount of weight. >> in stones. i used to weigh 260 pounds. and this

well the big story we're covering syria on a knife edge right now and cross talk examines next other countries are stuck in a real state of decision about what best to do over it people on the team here in just a few moments to talk about. taken . to. a low in welcome to cross talk on peter lavelle syria's eerie silence at least for now at this moment the u.n. sponsored peace plan for syria has gotten mixed reviews what happens next the u.s. nato and its regional allies are still calling for regime change while the so-called opposition in syria is anything but united is this just another lull before a more violent and deadly storms. can. cross talk a cease fire in syria i'm joined by joshua landis a norman he is director of the center for middle east studies and associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma in columbia we have joseph omer he's an adjunct professor at the university of south carolina and in paris we have diana johnston she is an independent political commentator and author of fool's crusade yugoslavia nato and western delusions all right fol

the fight, as well outline tonight, will be about policy as well as politics. example number one -- the president this week challenged republicans to extend low interest rates for a college loan program. romney said yes, they should be kept low. but for congressional republicans, there was a catch. the house voted today for the extension, but only if the cost comes out of the presidents health care plan. the white house, in response, called it a "politically motivated proposal and not the serious response that the problem facing americas college students deserves." and a vetoo threat was promptly issued. is this the kind of fight we are just going to have to get used to this year? >> i think so. i think it's going to get uglier. this entire campaign is operating in a time of scarcity. trillion-dollar deficits and every penny is being fought over. also, you have two week candidates. a president whose approval rating is low for an incouple benl. people think his handling of the economy has not been good. but then mitt romney is not a terribly strong candidate. hi

well they said it may be. may serve as political leverage a bargaining chip within our own political system there are your where of perhaps the. senator cardin this bill. pertaining to mr good my good ski there are now thirty three. including the senator himself thirty three co-sponsors of that legislation in the senate so they feel very strongly about that and maybe saying we are going to lift jackson vanocur but we won't do it unless we have something we can put in its place that will have a similar. power to effect positive change in the human rights mentioned enrique thank you very much and just to remind baton yesterday here was time throughout the day that presidents are the u.s. russia business comes and that's for all of us if you want to have your say and spot along with someone in montreux three times he makes time to. time i put he done wrong and that's key spots in trying to talk about more recent comments on what's going on kid outside russia for them to stay home on t.v. taking. please. or. at le

well as the country's in existence so yes it's. the soul of the world though it can tell a lot to do. right. very very different point of view from what we traditionally hear thank you very much for joining us that was jason adam telling us the chairman for the north american jewish showing in ideas study very. well still ahead in our game on and i'm not talking about the republican primaries i'm talking about a video game. and fighting machine travels there of different levels to make libertarianism sexy once again the creator next. what drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions. who can you trust no one who will be soon be you would be able to read see where we had a state controlled capitalism school fashions when nobody dares to ask you r t question more. r t is the state english speaking russian channel it's kind of like. russia today has an extremely confrontational stance when it comes to us. a group of ron paul supporters say they are dedicated to making liberty liberty sexy and they plan t

well, he truly believed that. and the revenues raised from those lands, well, you could sell those lands. you could make money. you could extinguish the debt. you wouldn't have to tax people as much. land was a panacea for all evils. and as president, look what happens. during his first term, you'll have ohio becoming the 17th state joining tennessee, kentucky, vermont and the original 13. indiana in 1803 becomes a territory. and then in december of 1803, the united states would purchase louisiana. in fact, it would be general james wilkinson that would preside over the transfer of that territory. and in march of 1804, captain amos stoddard would go to st. louis and preside over the transfer of that territory. jefferson's empire of liberty was becoming a reality, becoming a reality. yet is it enough land for the 100th and 1,000th generation? jefferson still thinks so. we see that his secretary of war in the 1820s named james barber would comment that there would be enough land for 500 years. well, he didn't get it

well no i think the two leaders in the north. in the south. have actually shown that they lack leadership they're bitter enemies. they have fought a war protracted period of time that the south has now broken away and has actually had its own independence but there are some deep seated issues which are cultural which which which to do with trust issues which are really not resolved not to mention the land issue how it looks like to me that the civil war is still continuing we do see a different form of it and just a took a break well well the other took a break on the thought that they were fighting the war through a pop proxy war through some of the rebel movements that's where existing in both parts of the country but more so fundamentally i think the international community let them down when the former south sudan without addressing the issues are on a beer which is one of the most fertile areas to do with the oil and very much how the oils would be shared especially when a large chunk of that oil is found in the south and it would appear

wonder what's in your view or how the animals are treated before they're sent to the slaughter house well the answer to those questions are now a little harder to come by coming up we'll tell you about a new gag law that's helping hide farm abuse and don't count your delegates before the votes are counted it turns out ron paul actually won a majority of the delegates and iowa and minnesota looks like the oldest republican presidential candidate still has some fight left. it's wednesday april twenty fifth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm adding martin you're watching our t.v. the american dream go to college to get your dream job so you can own your dream home with a white picket fence and live happily ever after however for many college students and graduates in the u.s. the notion of the american dream has become a full blown nightmare coined one t. day today marks the day that student debt has topped one trillion dollars exceeding the auto loan and credit card debt in the u.s. one of the biggest problems is the exploitation of the predatory student loan industry sallie mae america's larg

>> well, actually, there is.things both hot and cold. >> my first thought looking at you looking at yourself there is are you wearing the same top that you were wearing then? and if so, how old is that top? >> oh, it's probably like the rest of my wardrobe. it's probably ancient. i still wear stuff that i wore on "mary tyler moore." but i do live in this color. i love this color. >> it's a beautiful color. >> thank you. >> you are remarkably glamorous. >> oh, thank you. >> no, i actually mean that. >> i wish you hadn't mentioned your wife earlier. >> do you know what i think when i look at you, betty? i see somebody who has not been surgically enhanced. i see natural beauty. >> oh -- >> am i right? >> well -- >> any nip and tuck ever gone on? >> no. but gravity has taken over. >> let's take a little break. i need to calm down. i'm getting a little flustered here. when we come back, you want to play a clip from somebody, another male admirer. i think you're going to like this. >> okay. >> one of the many male admi

>> well, look. there was nobody who said they liked barack obama in a presidential poll who was going to be voting for rick santorum. so rick santorum coming into the romney camp, if he can bring his supporters with him, if he does make an endorsement, we're still not clear whether that's going to happen or not, doesn't necessarily bring down barack obama who's at about 50% approval, 51% in a poll just as recently as yesterday. what it does do is potentially coalesce a lot of the conservative base around mitt romney. that was almost happening anyway here at some point. you started to see mitt romney making the case more and more effectively with the republican party base. i'm the inevitable nominee. it's time to get behind me. let's leave these flirtations with other candidates to the side and go down the aisle and get hitched as the party and its nominee. >> it's obvious from your comments about what the romney campaign is saying, eamon, and i'm sure that you and the reporters there are chattering

>> reporter: well, that's right. really fighting it arguing that coal burned anywhere is a threat to the whole planet. the biggest battle is in washington near the canadian border where there is a plan to ship 48 million tons of coal a year. green groups are trying to block the expansion arguing coal dust will hurt humans and fish. locals don't want all the extra train traffic, all the coal will come from wyoming and montana by rail, but mainly they worry about china's appetite for coal. >> we're not just encouraging them to use coal now, we're encouraging them to lock in coal consumption for 30, 40, 50 years when they build new coal-fired power plants. >> reporter: and the export boom comes as both washington and oregon are phasing out their only coal plants. bill? bill: interesting stuff. dan springer live on that in seattle today. martha: there's a new scandallal hitting the nfl and the new orleans saints. a general manager accused of eavesdropping on the coaches of opposing teams during the game. why this has dra

>> well, let's just say he's not -- well, let me put it this way. john deen, the watergate figure, said the other day that walker is more nixonian than nixon. >> the founder of the united with wisconsin, the group that led the movement for the recall walker, what's that mean? >> he was endorsed by barbara lotten, by congresswoman guinn moore, by lina taylor. so he's getting a lot of useful endorsements. and the united wisconsin movement is a very grassroots movement. but kathleen faulk, his opponent, still has significant labor support. it's a real primary. >> it is a real primary and it's coming up within the month. now, the next thing is, and i keep saying this, i sense this on the road, that people around the country get this, as the template, and the vice president told me this when i interviewed him last week. he told me he thinks this is the template to defeat citizens united. you've got to have the boots on the ground, you've got to have the social networking, you've got to get your next-door neighbor out there. is this going to happen? >> yo

romney did pretty well last night with those groups. >> and electability as well.defeat obama in maryland? 73% picked him. in wisconsin, it was 67%. if we look back to florida, 58% electability. so a shift here. do you think they buy romney when he says, i'm the one that can take out obama in november. >> they may not be in love with romney, but they realize it's late in the game. we need to coalesce and fall in line. romney appears to be the best person. remember hillary clinton won 5 of the last 8 contests in 2008 against barack obama, but it didn't matter in the end. so santorum could go on and win some of the more conservative southern states, but in the end, it really, really looks now like romney is going to be your nominee on the republican side. >> let's still look at pennsylvania. you would think that santorum would take that. they're kind of neck and neck there, aren't they? >> the polls have tightened up. three polls over the last week have indicated that santorum's once double digit lead has disappeared. one poll has him up six, and another has him up o

we well can their growth. but we simply want help to continue on their path of liberalizing opening up their economy across a number of sectors. and that would not only be good for china, but it would also be good for the rest of the world. >> one gripe the u.s. has is the way china is appreciatingis currency. are you happy with the appreciation you're seeing from the chinese? >> secretary geithner has spoken to that. and i'll let his comments stand on their own.currency has moved. what we look at at the trade perspective are all the other ways that china can advantage its own domestic industries over other suppliers, whether it's in indigenous innovation, intellectual property the rights, any number of other things. exporter strengths. they all have the met effect of giving china an advantage to the disadvantage we think of u.s. suppliers and manufacturers and others around the world. all we're basically asking china to do, christine, is just get government's hand off the scale. chinese companies are growing

still doing well.ave a good local economy, things will come back faster. >> so, rick, diana just mentioned that one of the reasons they're building in phoenix or that one builder is building in phoenix is there is 0% down low cost financing available that is supported by a government program. i feel like i've seen this movie before and it didn't end well. >> well, you saw a lot of excesses in that awful horror movie that we lived through back a few years ago. financing really is the achilles heel of the market right now. there are a lot of people interested in buying who under normal circumstances would qualify for a reasonably priced and reasonably managed loan who simply can't get that financing. so as that bottleneck opens up, i do think you're going to see some of that pent-up demand come to market. and you'll see a lot more of this inventory move. >> we've heard about that for a while -- go ahead, diana. >> i wanted to add one thing on the usda program. it's a small program and 30-year fixed rate

>> well, it's got young people, students. it's got folks who've been sleeping in zuccotti park until the eviction. it's got novices like me, who know nothing about the banking sector. and it's got real financial experts, writers about finance and economics, as well as real dissidents from inside wall street, people who are part of banks, quant traders, derivatives traders. it's a pretty extraordinary group of people. >> just give me a sense of what's in your head about an alternative bank. >> all the elements of the bank, the ideal bank that we're talking about, the occupy bank, has been done before. they're present in mutuals, in credit unions, in community banks. but what we're trying to do is, you know, very boldly, very ambitiously, try to imagine all of these characteristics in one bank. and available to everybody, country wide, which at the moment, credit unions, for instance, are not able to be. you know, we want something that is as plausible, as easy to use, if not better, than the current for-profit banks, on the hi
