, the united states. they fail to understand that these countries cannot compete in any reasonable time frame in europe, the more dependent they became on your of the week became. and also russia as a geopolitical entity. it experienced some terrible wars in its history, and its extremist cautious about expansion of things like nato. it regards made as a military alliance. we regard it as a club of nice people are fairly mismatched about what it is. and as the united states moved into the balkans and nato moved into the baltics, as the orange revolution, the ukraine took off, as the united states became very influential in central asia, the russian saw a second encirclement taking place. so if containment one, a containment of russia after world war ii, putin from the kgb saw a second encirclement. the russians also, they became exporters of primary commodities. not only natural gas but everything else. >> host: they had in many ways their economy had been based on that evening the soviet time. >> guest:

difference does it make to the united states? >> well, what difference it would make to the united states is obviously if there was a peaceful transition and a coalition of groups came forward an opposition came forward working with each other to put together a transition to a responsive and non-repressive government, that would be a positive thing for the united states. interesting there is the opposition is beginning to kohl together. very difficult for oppositions to arise these places and it's really been amazing if you think about it. in libya, for example, the opposition, the t.n.c., has come together in a place-- and i've reflected on this-- where for 40 years there was no civil society. qaddafi and his crowd crushed everybody. >> rose: it was a tribal nation. >> b they've come together and presented themselves to e world. syria, we'd like to see the same thg, an opposition come together. they he a meeting outside syria and in istanbul last week that president erdogan and the turks-- the turks--osted. >> rose: right. are t

states and that the united states is fickle when it comes to its relationship with pakistan. it's a difficult narrative to manage, and as i said earlier, it's an easy job. that's why i have it. [laughter] but we are working on it. it's not going to be easy, it's not going to happen overnight. patience is required. the important thing is that the two countries need each other, and we will continue to work at it past the headline du jour, past the crisis du jour and past the strategic moment -- strategic momentary thinking du jour. we have to understand pakistan is the only muslim majority nation with nuclear weapons strategically located at the crossroads of south asia, central asia and the middle east, has neighbors such as india and iran and china and afghanistan and, therefore, its strategic location cannot be wished away. nor can the complexities of its populace. 180 million people. there is no such thing as a pakistani monolith. 180 million people live anything a new democracy will have a lot of diversity. the good news, again, is we are working on our democracy, we have

the united states, by contrast, does not have a solvency problem. the american economy remains one of the world's most competitive with many of the fastest-growing companies in most of the advanced industries. it houses the best capital markets in the world, the greatest universities, the most dynamic society. america is demographically vibrant thanks to immigration. it will be the only rich country that will see its population grow over the next 25 years. america could face a liquidity problem, that is it could have difficulty financing its debts and deficits if markets lose faith in it, again, let's be clear. this has not happened yet. in fact, right now, the world is lending to america more cheaply than ever before. the most important difference between greece and america is this -- america has many paths to solve this deficit problem. were it to implement the simpson-bowles plan, congress would allow the bush tax cuts to expire, returning rates to where they were under bill clinton's presidency, where american created almost 25 million jobs. tha

of russian adopted children children in the united states. i resisted united states of america just three weeks ago and we know this was not the first time. it was a special visit to center internet in a national center for missing and exporting children and not me american specialists told me that the arrow of violence and cruelty in the american family is too high too so you can see it as a situation the sausalito is russian children towards all children want to move toward all children even their own children yes absolutely so you want your saying now that american families are generally cruel. i didn't say so but. it's nice is that all cruelty monitors more and more and more every year among among native americans or among immigrants or first wave immigrants of i can cheer you can share and. i think in the. kinds of families where we can find it and i can compare the situation is in that it is an american in russia because russia has a problem of cruelty and violence in our families against children not only gives. or the children used to

of what could lend the united states of the united states towards collapse is the decline in our economy but this isn't unique our economy declined during the one nine hundred thirty s. during the great depression and we eventually got out of the great depression so i would see where you can see whether the united states is going to collapse but many people including you and you and i think every thinking person is concerned about the future of the united states today what might a collapse look like if it were to happen to american society. what might a collapse look like if it happened to american society we can think of a variety of scenarios beginning with the worst and going to gentle it was the worst the worst scenario would be a nuclear war in which civilization was wiped out and most people were killed and the people left alive would be my friends in the highlands of new guinea who recently were using stone tools and can figure out how to use stone tools again so that would be a grass to collapse. a gentle a collapse would be conditions such as those we see today on the island of

states how the scandal is being covered in the united states. not particularly well is the short answer there's been been very little in television coverage c.n.n. has done has done a bit of fox and fox news channel has done almost nothing frankly and in fact c.n.n. reported. on the fox news channel's. media criticism program called fox news watch during a commercial break the people on the on the program were discussing how they weren't going to discuss this story. so kevin makes a very special very strong and powerful point that concentration of media power in very few hands will lead to this sort of thing it's it's natural that a corporation is going to protect its own interests and news corp is an enormous company so no other no other news corp property is going to go to too terribly far out on a limb to to investigate this story. the wall street journal the bible of the wall street. is now owned by news corp or news corp and it is is not going to give shareholders in news corp a real the real story on on this and what it could mean to their

unilateral action by the soviet union, eisenhower stated, would be forcefully opposed by the united states and ordered the sixth fleet stationed in the mediterranean order to place on alert. this was election eve. distresses retake and it's on the president. after a tense meeting over the message, eisenhower found the president heartbeat irregular. he laid down and developed a headache. after all, he'd only eat eaten a dish of carrot and a glass of yogurt since breakfast. the president agitation recorded was due to what he termed an ultimatum that had been served upon him. he crowd i'm concert was soldierly profamily. he crowd that if he were a dictator, he would tell russia if they moved a finger he would drop our entire stock of the public weapons on him. tuesday, november 6 was election day. i cruised to an even greater turmoil. in a meeting that morning, he was somber. our people should be alert, eisenhower said. the presidents of russian plane and syria were inevitably trigger taxonomist airfields. if that didn't come, as i'd like to say, that would be in the fire. in a crowd of ryde,

the last time the united states of america -- the congress of the united states of america engaged in cutting off funding was at the end of the vietnam war. and whether historians or people happen to acknowledge it, a lot of bad things happened after we cut off funding for -- in vietnam, and amongst them was millions of vietnamese putting in reeducation camps and thousands slaughtered. so i would caution my colleagues about actions of congress which prohibit certain actions on the part of the administration. but, most of all, america should lead, we should use our air assets, not our ground assets, to get rid of this brutal dictator and his regime. every day that goes by, innocent civilians in libya are wounded and killed. so i'd ask my colleague from south carolina if he had a few words but also to address the issue of how much u.s. involvement actually is there, which would then by most objective observers trigger the united states congress's requirement to act in keeping with the war powers act and our constitutional obligations. mr. graham: well, i thank the senator, and i'll give

states has frozen $33 billion in libyan asset, gadhafi's assets here in the united states. now that the u.s. has recognized the opposition as the legitimate governing authority of the libya, they could transfer -- start transferring some of that money to the opposition. is there any indication you're getting there at the summit meeting in istanbul that the u.s. is about to do that? >> wolf, at the end of the meeting, there was hope at that possibility. the fact that the u.s. is recognizing this libyan national transitional council as the legitimate governing authority there led many to believe that possibly these assets could be unfrozen. they could start be transferred to this group. but that's not a certainty yet. and one of the things that's led to a lot of frustration among donor nations, among members, participating delegation members at these meetings, the past four meetings that have been held. even though there's a lot of goodwill gestures towards libya, the fact of the matter is that money is not yet being transferred. people are wondering when this funding is goin

the united states should not bother about china/pakistan relations as long as pakistan and united states relations are normal. so i think pakistan certainly -- and every country in the world, diplomatic relations -- i don't think there's any love affair that goes on between two countries. there are always national interests. every country has national interests which are pursued and pushing those international interests you formulate that your foreign policy and you act accordingly. so pakistan national interest certainly is to maintain very good relations with united states and also with china. >> dennis cooks. >> dennis cooks from the woodrow wilson center. i wonder if you wouldn't mind, mr. president, elaborating on your initiative on kashmir because there is a lot of talk in the press and i think your foreign minister said you were just words away practically from an agreement. i wonder if you wouldn't mind telling us what roughly you had in mind or you have in mind for an agreement -- what do you think would be possible? >> yeah, sure. i take pride in the fact that we formulated a d

i think it's weakening the united states senate. i believe our constitutional responsibility is not being fulfilled if we end up with some big-deal big on august 1, and we're told it's got to be passed by august 2, and you can find out what's in it after we pass it. i'm not there. count me out. senator toomey, we had more people wanting to get on the budget committee this year. they were so excited. it was the most wanted committee to be on in the entire senate, and we've not done anything. you were selected to be on the committee, which is a tribute to your experience. i guess i would ask you, how do you feel about where we are? mr. toomey: senator sessions, first of all, thank you for raising this issue because i do think this is a very, very important issue. many of us wanted to be on the budget committee because we see what a critical moment our country is in. we see the very dire straits that we have put ourselves in because of the fiscal irresponsibility of washington. and some of us believe that we don't have a lot of time to

states it's that politics one of the united states to. the right and danielle say that agreement is no reached so how will that damage the u.s. refutation well light i think it would be a very significant prayer. mainly because again not because there would be you know a week or two debate of interest payments to countries that want us dead now but obviously that would obviously be something these countries with the right the biggest are going to be this concert reputation in the back of the united states has never defaulted on its debt is something that it's something that is the reason people are attracted to buy u.s. debt in the first place and it's what's enabled to the united states to deficit spend good decades now because there's a insatiable appetite for its debt defecting i would say that would be like i said it would be the third strike against the u.s. in three years it would make it look we're responsible it's going to be harder for the united states to go to china and say you need to. allow your currency to appreciate china o

it means united states. but who in the united states? mexicans in the united states clacks which mexicans? manly mexican women in the united states. basically what i say is the social cultural mental transformation of mexican migrant women in the united states can be the single most important lever of transformation of mexican culture mentality and everything. why? because mexican women who come to the united states to work illegally that's not the issue of that's not what we said, i'm not interested in those matters. i'm just as mexican as a pretty else is. fight? [laughter] mexican women who come here tend more and more to come alone. they are not coming, they are not being brought to the u.s. by the family and even when they are once they are here they say goodbye and that's it. mexican women who come here, they don't half -- they make their money, they decide what to do with their money, they may send some home, maybe they don't, they may have kids, maybe they don't, they hook up with one guy, they leave that guy, they filled up with

yeah you know on the sunday shows here in the united states i forget which one it was but one of the comments that was made about this was how tony blair had flown to australia to to you know bend his knee in front of murdoch to get his endorsement when he was going to run for prime minister of gordon brown did how david cameron the current prime minister did all three of these guys you know went to the guy who won the newspapers in the u.k. and said please make us president and the person on one of the sunday shows here in the us that i watched on the big network shows you know fortunately we have nothing like that here in the united states and i'm thinking wait a minute. how do you get to the republican presidential nomination without going through fox news and don't really have basically the exact same thing going on here in the united states at least with regard to the republican party where if you want to be a nominee if you want to be taken seriously you have to have the blessing of roger ailes and rupert murdoch has absolute correct that's absolutely correct he built that syst

the united states. overall the bin laden network is waerk than it's's ever been before. >> the acting affiliate of al qaeda today was in yemen. any area there was not a strong level of government authority absolutely does make it more susceptible to terrorist plots. they're focused on many issues right now and we had been more concerned about al qaeda in the arabian peninsula because of that. they took advantage of some disruptions especially in the south of the country. >> let's talk more about fran thompson. she's on the advisory boards of the cia and department of homeland security. fran, this alliance between yemen and somalia. how much of a security threat to the united states is it? >> wolf, remember we heard a good deal from the fbi about somalia attracting americans to somalia to the fight. because of the proximity between yemen and somalia, it's easy for them in little local boats to cross over that short water distance where they can collaborate, train and exchange fighters to back each ore up

states but the confidence that the rest of the world has and should have in the united states. >> we know, of course, that many other countries, particularly in europe, are struggling with their own debt problems. what effect is the u.s. situation likely to have on their battles? is it going to make it more difficult? >> well, in australia it's a very interesting situation. just a couple of days ago we had a much stronger than expected inflation reading and as your viewers probably know, australia has been leading the world in pushing interest rates higher since about september 2009. the cash rate in australia is now 4.75%. but expectations are growing that perhaps even next week when australia's reserve bank meets or maybe later in the year that interest rates will be pushed up and this is despite the uncertainty coming out of europe and of course the default and the ratings future for the united states. in australia, we're dealing with a multispeed or patch work economy where the big mining states of western australia and the northern territory are booming ahead and it's been descr

the president of the united states. mr. speaker, the cuts in this bill were agreed to in a bipartisan group. the level of cuts in this bill are $2 billion off the senate majority leader's cuts in his bill. these were agreed to on a bipartisan basis. we're cutting spending, not as much as we want, but at least we're cutting spending. rush and roulette is not getting debt limit under control. this is scaring seniors into giving this country another blank check and keep spending money we don't have. i yield two minutes to the the gentleman from new hampshire. mr. guinta: i rise to support the bill before us, the budget control act of 2011. mr. speaker, this is about leadership and ability and willingness of this body to do something right, not for partisan purposes but for spending reductions and for the country. i hear from the other side that they are concerned about this component and that component, but what i don't see is a plan and a solution. we have not put one, but two different proposals, the one i co-sponsored cut,

in the united states senate. mitch mcconnell sent ow a letter. he's the republican leader saying yesterday that he had 43 votes against it. but what they'd like to do is, if you will, take out the old language and cut and paste the new language they're trying to work on in order to be able to send it back over to the united states house of representatives fairly quickly and get this issue, you know, off the table. meanwhile, wolf, i don't know if you know, but we've been sort of talking around and trying to get a feel for how tough it is for mitch mcconnell, senate republican leader, to get his people together and also get democrats together on the other side in the event there is a final deal. talking to one gop aide, we got sort of the downside and the criticism about this agreement as it comes together and they try to figure out how to handle it. and here's what that gop aide said. "they are obviously fast tracking the gang of six tax hikes" -- this is the group that worked on this issue some time ago, and the

states paid about thirty five percent of the total federal budget. back in during the eisenhower administration and now they're paying six percent of the budget that's running this picture that's on average that's if you have lawyers that can you know your i mean the total the total amount the total revenue into the united states government has been picked up by i mean look there are too many regulations on businesses what we're trying to expand and grow jack welch is a lively respected businessman who used to run g.e. i was pointing this out. welch brags in his book about having invented outsourcing to india i don't i don't think because i don't think i would also have said we had bad thing i'm sorry i grew. it was about having invented outsourcing like i don't mean i don't think he did it but i disagree over there i g.'s i grant plenty look around he said look at all these people he's. also said he's a very bit of i don't know it wouldn't put my point is that i grew to ninety percent of the economists who say that outsourcing is healthy for economy

states has to say to the states for ratification a proposed amendment to the constitution of the united states, pursuant to a joint resolution. why do you think that the senate or the congress will pass that balance budget amendment? >> my friend knows, that i think anyone who can predict what the senate will do -- >> i heard again this morning, a constitutional amendment. >> never know what happens in the legislative process. i did not think we would be sitting here today what we're doing today. i will say that i cannot predict what is that the united states senate is going to do. the speaker of the house has worked very hard in good faith in an attempt to put together a bipartisan agreement, and it has fallen apart. >> i do not know where this bipartisan thing comes from. senator reid said, they had not been consulted on anything. >> talking about a week ago. one week ago -- have said repeatedly -- have separately that if you look at what has happened since senator reid no longer supports the bipartisan agreement of which he was a part last week's -- >> you take your own word for it.

you're talking but amending the constitution of the united states. what was printed on the web page may or may not be what we're voting on. we are amending the constitution of the united states of america. it gets even more confusion. in the text of the john boehner resolution, they will vote after september 30, 2011. the house and senate will vote. we will have it this week. we had one already. we will do another balanced budget amendment between its of timber in december. what -- between september and december. what is sloppy process. we need to proceed with great caution. this is storing all kinds of paper at everybody. as you mentioned, the amendment that was originally reported is different than the one that is on the committee web page. it makes it more difficult in times of war if we exceed the cap to be able to fund our troops. somebody made a conscious decision to change the word majority 2 3/5. no one is here to explain that. the chairman ought to be here. i want to know what it means. what it means to real people in this country. there are

the united states. to get out of those broken promises if the white house is beating around the bush bush human rights watch torture screams heard elsewhere. the libyan people right now you go and we didn't hear it. and spaniards don't want to hear now either at least not at the expense of citizens at home and a country facing fiscal crisis so why haven't americans made this connection yet. there is very little journalism being done. you create some dangerous circumstances for citizenry for democracy itself and as the media field seems to be changing which team will win out in the end journalism or p.r. and what does this mean for the future of the media. it evening it's wednesday july thirteenth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm lauren lyster and you are watching r.t. well the country you don't have to be a genius to notice that it's in tough economic times as witnessed by unemployment numbers the national debt to name a few examples in fact moody's ratings agency today but the u.s. ratings on revie

how dare you confront the united states flag, united states military. how dare you violate the human dignity of your people. so i'm calling upon world leaders and the united nations and all of those who have the responsibility of adhering to the human rights for all people, to denounce the actions of president assad, denounce the actions of those violent and abusive people in the streets who are killing their own people. and listen to syrian americans who have asked for a peaceful resolution. no, we are not calling for war. tragedies in yemen where the president refuses to step down. the conflicts in libya where the president refuses to step down. difficulties in egypt. and on and on and on. but for the people of that region, we should take heart in america that they have attempted to create a democratic community and nation of states. the arab league needs to speak and we need to denounce the president and ask him, of syria, to step down. that leads me to america's role, madam speaker, in this crisis that has now been made by our republican friends. to

this is big part of the fabric of the united states. to your question the most important thing is that we look at the u.s. economy and manufacturing with all the policies that we have to make sure we have appropriate tax structur we have appropriate educion but we have a eye towards manufacturing. >> charlie: do we have the propriate tax structure, the appropriate talent level and the appropriate education. >> we are making progress. now clearly we all know the issues but the fact we have moved manufacturing up on the agenda, the fact that the president has the manufacturing task force. he also has a task force for export, real positive signs. for example we are now making the new export, fabulous vehicle that's going to be made in chicago. we're adding 1200 new jobs, another 800 with suppliers recognized states, and charlie we're going to expt that new store to 93 countries around the world. there's no reason we can't do that if our cost structure and our processes are competitive. >> charlie: the cost structure became what it is becau

i would point to the prosperity of the united states. we have had a free trade zone, and everyone accepts it is a good idea. certain states were seen as having certain advantages over others. another thing that i'd like to point out to people is we are all best at doing something, either individually or as a country or as a corporation. we would not want to pass a law that says only bananas could be grown in minnesota. bananas can be grown in minnesota but they cannot be grown very efficiently or cheaply. that is a simple example. yes, we could grow bananas and minnesota, but we do not want to do that because we would all be poorer because of its. host: this message also from twitter -- guest: yeah, i think that was something i said earlier. it would help the economy grow faster. i think that is one of the keys to solving our budget problem and is actually crucial. one way to grow the economy is to get the tax rate down. corporations would make investments based on how they can grow jobs instead of balancing the tax considerations. host:

department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top once i make a buck and pay the cheapest possible there are more dollars to go to stimulate the economy. i think are american companies should hire american workers. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people here. do to me and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is hidden there. and it's not just manufacturing work american i t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amusingly down to people here in the part of the workforce and
