of middle eastern politics yeah yeah yeah yeah america bad america but i mean look let's be serious they are and this is that this is a down market like hong kong they say these are our policies are not very. gentleman david. look if you understand i think i think if we're going to do iran as i say they're going there again it's the end of the michael michael let david go let david go go i think. i mean. the united states the west is going to promote its interests if a people elect a government and that government is not a stabilizing effect in the region but is lobbing missiles at its neighbor then they're going to not be supported by the west they're going to be called to account for that and the united nations and any suggestion you know the one panelist says that everything in the in the west is bad and then it also says that we're responsible for everything either we do something and then it's bad or we don't do something it is bad that we didn't do something i mean i think that really is a everything we live. stephen go ahead well thank you very much i wish the west is that of the

thank you, america. thank you, america. thank you, america, for the freedom to insure a brighter future. when we make guarantees for people's lifetimes, we have to act as a company that will make sure we are here for their lifetimes. we made a commitment to repay and we did, and gave america a profit. pretty proud of that. helping people recover and rebuild -- that's what we do. now let's bring on tomorrow. >>> back now with more of my interview with alex jones, of "the alex jones show," and a man who says i should be deported for my stance on guns. here is how it's going to work. it's entirely down to you. i'm going to ask you questions. in the spirit of a proper debate -- you have had a lot to say on the show, a lot of it aimed at me. which is fine. it's a proper debate, i'm not trying to trip you up -- >> no, it's not a debate. you're running the show, you're -- >> okay, fine, alex, alex -- >> -- you have your note cards. i gave you fbi statistics that violent crime and gun crime is down over 20%. >> alex, let me ask you

america about america but i mean this is that this is a down market like hong kong to tell you which they say these are out. of her fiance and gentleman david now it looks. like michael michael david. you the united states the west. government is not a stabilizing if we supported. it nations and any suggestion you know the one panel and then it also says that we're responsible for everything and i mean i think that. well first you know where i wish the west is that of the west has done a lot for me. to pull the whiskey be everything that i have you know without without the west. the very serious flaws and. states because if it threatens to attack israel so by your standard the united states should pursue what i read on rails or earlier your standard we should pursue those in gaza military militarily well that's a well that's a big lie iran has threatened no one iran hasn't attacked another country in two or three centuries. you're right it's a good thing for a while you have a line in yours or a moral right this guy are a gentleman let's change gears here michael what about drones ho

well america always needs an enemy america always has an enemy ok so is this the new one. well well yet we we need something to leverage our and the tea against that it was russia for a while and then it was japan remember the early eighty's arisings on in and now it's well then it was iran and iraq and iran and saddam really helped because saddam was he looked. like a police sketch artist rendering of a child molester yeah he was a perfect villain and china is kind of faces and really no warrants out and we know there he. did go ahead john jumping out. so this is really amazing to me because the primary problem that the united states sees with china is that its economy is too strong and that it's building up its military so these are two things that the united states prides itself on our giant military and a big economy right what that weather what a big economy in china reflects is number one a lot of hundreds of thousands of people being lifted out of poverty in inch inside china but also means help for the united states because trade is obviously mutually beneficial an

you can't demonize the new folks in america and make them out to be america's problem because these folks didn't vote for romney. in fact, people said romney shares their values. this is across the board, but they said, obama cares about people like me. >> bill: all right and i'm saying to you is i don't think 71% of hispanics are secular progressives, would you agree with that. >> no, and that should say to you, when you look at catholics, hispanics, strongly catholic, these are patriots, these people love america, they believe in the work-- >> romney couldn't put it in vivid terms. mary katherine, you say. i think you're on target on a bunch of this, and we've reached a turning point of sorts, but that doesn't mean that folks who believe what romney believes or believed in general to the right of center as juan was pointing out, many people still do, that that can't result in electoral victory in the future. you're correct that it takes a special person. it takes a special person in barack obama to bring the left where it is right now and frankly surprised it got here and takes somebody

believe it or not, bank of america is heavily favored. 75% of you picked bank of america, despite the fact that it lost people ba jillons of dollars over the years. if the viewer is right, it's a close call. i would go to twitter underdog pulte. the reason? pulte and bank of america took the honors, part of strong secular, groups that will do quite well in 2013, company sector accounts for 20%. sometimes higher in banks. this is a very important part of the allocatio the calculation. banking versus housing. i like both areas. banks have not suddenly become fabulous businesses. struggling with superlow interest rates, and a lack of loan growth. however, a ton of improvement here. and that is why bank of america, more than doubled last year and i think it will have a good 2013. ever since the recession, banks held back by a host of worries. the year where the years are a thing of the past. litigation over the mortgage putback issue and fanny mae, some outstanding legal issues, dodd/frank, and something that will finally get certainty or clarity on over the next nine months and the last

coming up: what to expect from corporate america's bottom lines. and we kick off a new series, "n.b.r.u.," our partnership with some of the nation's top universities. tonight: does maximizing shareholder value hurt the economy? that and more tonight on "n.b.r."! the nation's largest banks announced two big settlements today over the housing crisis. 10 of them are settling with federal regulators over allegations they mishandled foreclosures. and in a separate deal, bank of america and government-owned mortgage giant fannie mae settled the score over trillions of dollars worth of bad home loans. in all, the deals cost the banking industry billions of dollars, but as sylvia hall reports, they put to rest some big problems left over from the housing bust. >> reporter: it's an expensive time for bank of america. the company announced today it will pay out billions of dollars in two separate mortgage settlements. the first lays to rest a dispute between fannie mae and countrywide- the troubled mortgage giant bank of america bought in 2008. bank of ameri

here in america we think all children need to be educated. women can't go to the movie theater in afghanistan. >> no, they can't. if they try to it would be a dangerous prospect. the men that go to the movie theaters, we have to remember afghanistan doesn't have a class that have jobs, many boys are going there and causing troubles. girls cannot go and bear by go out by themselves without being harassed. massive sexual harass. me ment on the streets. there are children providing for their families and treated pretty badly. >> we need to continue talking about this. thanks for being here. great to see you. as we mentioned president obama and president karzai will hold a joint news conference at 1:15 p.m. eastern time. we're going to bring it to you live right here on msnbc. at a dry cleaner, we replaced people with a machine. what? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it? hello? hello?! if your bank doesn't let you talk to a real person 24/7, you need an ally. hello? ally bank. your money needs an ally. olaf gets great rewards for his

america is hurting economically. and despite president obama's best efforts in the first four years, it's still hurting. a lot of people suffering. do you like the tenor of what you're hearing from him for his second term or is it fiddling while rome burns? >> first of all, i don't think america's in bad shape at all. >> explain to a layman why that is. i hear a lot of business people say that right now. how can a country that's so riddled with debt actually not be in bad shape. >> first of all, when we talk about debt, everyone likes to compare it to households. it is not the same. a sovereign debt is not the same as debt i might have or any of us might have as individuals. we can't print money. the country can. we don't have a central bank. the country does. so it's not even apples to apples, but you know, this is an entrepreneurial country. and you know, i have investments in more than 70 companies. and not one time as a conversation about the national deficit ever come up. not one time did the fiscal cliff ever c

america is not the federal government. in fact, america is not about government at all. in america, government is one of the things you have to have sure do want too much of it. kind of like your family visiting over the holidays if you know what they mean. i've got to be careful. my wife's hair. this is of course the polar opposite of the political debate in our country today. we've got one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can expand it. we've got another party that wants western church of the federal government so they can get it under control. i'm here to tell you that's a terrible debate, fought entirely on our opponents terms. a debate about which party can better manage the federal government is a small and shortsighted debate. we simply don't deserve to win. our public discourse today, america is to find the government from the latest news that occur in washington d.c. if you were to land from outer space, watch tv for a week to read the newspapers, watch the news coming come to the conclusion that washington is the hub of america

who is america? what is america? what are we about? i think he has been on the receiving end of a lot of attacks saying his ideas are not american. so i think that what he did which i'm glad he did. he was strong in his beliefs. he didn't back down from the fight of what he believed in. but he tried to cast them in terms and in tones that honored the founders, that honored dr. king, honored the best in the country. and i think in the old way of seeing things, that would be a left thing to do. he is speaking though to the emerging majority in america which is brown, young, which is much more open to the ideas around marriage equality. he is speaking to the america that is rising. i don't think that's left versus right. i think it is right versus wrong in the context of the new majority. >> if i can disagree a little. it seems to me to be left when you say government can't cure society's ills alone. in other words, the center of curing society's ills is always government. on occasion, government needs a little help. no, no, he said that

you have to remember el salvador is the smallest country in all of the americas. and yet how is it inly 32 years, we are about to become the third largest in population in the u.s.? if all the rhetoric about immigration was true, and it's this poverty or a dysfunctional government, if that were really the cause of immigration, you would have had people coming from el salvador forever. but that's not the case. people started coming in 1980 because of the war, and specifically because of our own country's actions in the war. in the film, we talk about the school of the americas and how most of the human rights abuses and the massacres, including the killing of the nuns and the murder of archbishop romero, was really done by people trained at the school of the americas by our own country. this is a clear example of how this connection continues to exist. it's not something that just happen 150 years ago. it continues to happen. >> of course, get the latest presidential link, this remarkable story surrounding bain, how mitt romney helped found bain capital with invest

some say it's because america's fragile economy is a distraction for corporate america. others point to our inferior infrastructure and sub-par public education. but adam segal, author of "advantage," says the big problem is others are gaining ground. >> we have been kind of running in place for the last three or four years because of the recession, spending on r&d, and big ideas seem to be fairly scarce while china just continues to funnel more and more money into it. >> reporter: still many argue the u.s. will always be extremely competitive because we are the most innovative country in the world. what better place to witness innovation at work than at i.b.m. in westchester county, new york. this is the home of watson, big blue's super computer. watson was clever enough to beat "jeopardy" champions at their own game just a few years ago. now, i.b.m. researchers are working on new uses for the brainiac computer, particularly in the field of medicine. bernie meyerson calls himself i.b.m.'s head geek. he says innovation is critical for companies and societies to survive a

not god bless america, god [ muted ] america! >> the reaction was damning. reverend wright had officiated at obama's wedding and baptized his children. their connection might have tagged obama as an angry black man, an image his campaign worked hard to avoid. the association threatened to derail everything. but obama seized the chance. to explain his ties to wright, he spoke to a broader, tougher topic -- race in america. >> the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through. >> the fact that he wrote it in about 12 hours speaks volumes to his sincerity. i mean, he really spoke from the heart and i think that came across in the speech. >> it was a gamble, but it worked. you the campaign was back on track. obama went on to clinch the democratic nomination. in the general election that fall, his republican opponent chose not to engage on the race question. >> there was a tremendous debate in the republican party about how to use the reverend wright, for example, as a pol

america has to respond. it can't respond perhaps in the way it would have done 50 years ago. >> the president has his hands full, to be fair. he talked about the worst day of his presidency with sandy hook. but you're right, there needs to be unifying vision. someone is saying, kennedy, we're going to go to space, or have this war on poverty. right now our goals are to pay our bills. it's hard to get people to find a way to power themselves when what they're aspiring to is depressing. that's not just the president's fault, it's true, the leadership of our country has to say, here's where we're going to go. we can pay our bills and we're going to be okay. to be fair to the president, i think when you see tears in his eyes, it's about the issue of there being a future for young people for the next generation. >> tell me this. what is this future going to be in terms of america incorporated as a business model? because a lot of the things that america used to be great for, manufacturing, for example, they've ch

john walsh is the host of "america's most wanted." you know ava, and very much the thoughts of the nra generally, their answer to all of these massacres is more guns. what do you think of it? >> first, i have to say i'm thankful that you keep this dialogue going. it has to be a civil dialogue. i think it's evading all of the important issues by saying we're going to put more guns in schools. the nra is supported by the gun manufacturers, and i know aaa and he's a good man. is that the way you're going to make a sandy hook stop and say we'll just sell, what, hundreds of thousands of more guns and put armed guards in every school in america? >> i thought the president had it absolutely right today. he made it clear there's a direct link between the fear driven by the nra and others after these massacres, the fear is quite deliberately put out there to drive more sales to make more money. it's a commercial deal. >> they're the most powerful marketing tool in capitol hill. i have been up there for years walking the halls and trying to get

. >> thank you america. >> thank you america. >> reporter: but now, after thanking america, it turns out aig might sue it. how do you say thank you america and then turn around and consider suing america? >> that's the fascinating thing. they just launched this ad campaign, all about thanking americans for their help, for the bailout and now they are considering suing. >> reporter: it was a little more than four years ago, the worst economic crash since the depression and american taxpayers came to the rescue. $182 billion for aig. the insurance giant had bet on mortgage securities. bets that went terribly wrong. fed chairman ben bernanke later calling the bets unconscionable. fast forward and now the company just finished paying back american taxpayers. and in those new ads, proud of it. >> we've repaid every dollar america lent us. >> everything, plus a profit of more than $22 billion -- >> for the american people. >> reporter: but as those ads play on tv, aig is now deciding whether to sue the federal government. the claim? that the terms of the bailout, that taxpayer rescue, actu

the problem is that you have in latin america today. nor miss level of violence and killing at that people believe is related to the drug war whether it is or not whether kevin is right that legalizing marijuana in a few states is not going to have any effect i think he's probably right but the fact is that the latin americans for a long time have been calling for a real conversation with the united states to talk about how drugs are for now how we frame and implemented anti drug policies and there's been very little response from washington in the united states. we seem to have brought the problem under control by. basically. cocaine use is that. marijuana use is increasing heroin use is down but the violence associated with drugs has been controlled now the costs are very very high . the drug violations the number of people in jail the use of our police forces going to a criminal court in any small town anywhere in the united states and i'm big majority of cases are drug related cases the damage is enormous one cannot talk about. eith

, because the contract with america was very, very popular. people believed that it was understandable. let's talk about the, i like to say so-called assault weapons ban because i refuse to believe at that we're banning true assault weapons. we're banning things that people are afraid because of the way they looked. that happened nearly 20 years ago, didn't have a big event. let's talk about what was the basis behind it and the similarities in the proposals this time? >> there are liberals who want to eliminate all guns, they passionately believe in it, sin veer about -- sincere about it. and they're wrong. there are no military weapons available except for extraordinary licenses for special collectors. the common weapons they're describing are deer rifles and used for deer hunting or target practice, but they're not assault weapons in a true military sense. those would be illegal. i have a challenge for everybody who cares about this issue. the house and senate should both hold hearings in chicago. chicago is the president's hometown, his for

america is not the wild west that you are depicting. we only have the problem in our cities and unhappily in our schools where people like you have been able to get laws on the books that keep people from defending themselves. i honestly don't understand why you would rather have people be victims of a crime than be able to defend themselves. >> i ear an unbelievably stupid man, aren't you? >> it seems to me that you're morally obtuse. you seem to prefer being a victim than being able to prevail over the criminal element. i don't know why you want to be the criminal's friend. >> what a ridiculous argument. america is shock tonight over an act of evil that left a dozen people dead and 59 others injuried. it's the largest mass shooting in years. this family was at the premier when the killer open fired. did you think you were going to get out alive? or did you fear everyone was going to die in there? >> no. my thought was this was how it ends. this is how i die. this can't be the way that i die. this can't be the way my son dies. he's 4 m

it speaks to his impact and latin america. i think it has been significant in terms of the creation of a series of forums. in terms of maduro and cabello, they have to size the company to other to an important extent. maduro comes out of the social movement, a student leader, the union leader. he has been in the national assembly and helped draft the constitution. cabello comes out of the traditionalists. you have had a progressive military dating back to the 1950's and 1970's who have taken sides with social movements. both of them in many ways complement each other in projecting future chÁvez movement in venezuela. >> and the importance of what happens in venezuela, the people forget that venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, > even saudi arabia. therefore, it has an enormous impact on oil politics across the planet. could you talk about that and how hugo chÁvez used that will lead to further social lance his revolution? >> everything back where venezuela was before 1998, we hardly heard about venezue

it matters that we get this moment right for america. and it matters that we get it right for the world. one discussion that i particularly look forward to beginning with you, my colleagues, and with our country, is about the commitment that we make in our foreign affairs budget. less than 1% of the entire budget of government at a time that the world is getting smaller, that our economy depends on its relationship with every other country in the world, that we face a more global market than any time in our history, so not just in my briefings a s at the state department, but in my conversations with business leaders, in my trips to crisis areas, to war zones, to refugee camps, and in some of the poorest countries on earth, i have been reminded of the importance of the work our state department does to protect and advance america's interests and do the job of diplomacy in a dangerous world and particularly, i think, there is more that can be done to advance our economic capacity and interests. in this debate and in every endeavor, i pled

in america 11,920. in america 11,624. in 2005, 50 in england, in america 12,352. >> now. >> let me finish. here is my point. every time i hear you say, there is a safer country where you have more guns my brain takes me back to these figures in britain we brought in a handgun and assault weapon ban after a situation where a similar number of school children were murdered with guns. this is what happens when you take a responsible. action. why do you still persist in trying to persuade americans that the opposite is true. >> first of all, the data that you are using for the murder rate in england is a shame. there is a monumental miss reporting of what constitutes murder. >> what an absolute lie. >> well -- you don't know what you are talking about. >> mr. pratt, it doesn't take very long. >> you are these are your own government's data. go tell them that they are lying. you asked them for an apology why don't you. >> you are telling me that 50 murders a year. these are invented statistics and the figures in britain for gu
