the national party, ben? when you are now sort of concerned that you're filing an inquiry with the gao because you think the federal government is stockpiling ammunition to wage war on the american citizenry. that smacks of tinfoil hat conspiracy theories. >> one of the things going on is kind of the way it did for the democrats in the '90s, the ground has shifted under the feet of a lot of these people. there's been a huge generational shift in leadership. obama is of a new generation, as well as in the country. so particularly around gay rights, there's a whole wing of the party getting left behind politically. i think you saw it in the '90s with democrats around issues of criminal justice and race and welfare. where clinton just like sluffed off a whole chunk of the democratic party and they were livid. and i think mia says that's something that happens in the 2016 primary. >> the supreme court sort of, it depends on the supreme court, right? but gay rights isn't a big legislative issue, you're going to se

the california national guard as mentioned is the largest in the nation under 54 states and territories. we're the largest by far. and we have a broad spectrum of capabilities that range from on the low end manpower where we can deploy troops for either security missions or firefighting hand crew missions all the way up to the high end where we have a wing, we also have space station systems we can employ and support civil authorities at the direction of the governor. we're the experienced national guard force. we do some sort of civil support emergency response system every three days in california. we support the governor, mainly law enforcement and the fire services here in the state. we tend to do more emergency missions every year than any of the 53 states and territories combined. so, we have quite a bit of experience. with that experience has come a wealth of relationship building that's key to success and any disaster response is being able to work with the inter agency. we're in a unique position because in addition to my federal responsibilities for commanding both the army an

in the nation if it is signed into law. the united nations overwhelmingly approving the global arms trade treaty, and international agreement that threatens the second amenent rights of all american citizens. we begin tonight in connecticut where the draft legislation would add more than 100 types of guns to the state's list of banned so-called assault weapons. it would limit the capacity of magazines to ten rounds. law-abiding owners of the newly bannedded give ups and magazines would be forced to register the equipment with the state of connecticut. that proposal calls for universal background checks fr all weapon sales while creating the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender's registry. at the united nations, the global arms trade treaty passed calling for all nations involved to keep records of all arms transfers and suggests these records include information of end user ors private owners or as we call them in this country, citizens. the records would be kept in what the united nations calls, a, quote, int

it's a summer day in yellowstone national park; the nation's first national park. gateway cities like west yellowstone bustle. traffic snarls yellowstone roads as if a major city. the park resembles anything but the tranquility sought. animals that make a brief appearance find an adoring crowd. they are the rock stars of the national park world. rocky mountain bighorn sheep walk precarious cliffs oblivious to crowds below. yellowstone's elk are accustomed to traffic. they blend in as if just another tourist themselves. scenic wonders like artist's point are crowded with tourists. natural beauty is an attraction. early leaders of the wilderness movement saw development of the national parks as commercialization. is this conservation or is access simply a part of american democracy? it's an enduring question of the great debate. wilderness wouldn't be wilderness without the animals of the west. controversy continues regarding the endangered species act and specifically grizzly bears and wolves. wolves are the most controversial animals in the wilderness war. wolves w

and aircraft the nation needs. the capital investment plan, which has been delivered recently to congress, should help to inform the discussion on the years ahead. as the department of defense rebalances to the pacific, maritime activity increases in the arctic and our nation focuses only the southwest border. offshore demand for coast guard capabilities and authorities is increasing. our 378-high endurance cutters have ably served the offshore environment for 50 years, but as i've testified in the past, they are at the end of their service lives. so i'm very happy to report i received strong support from the secretary and the president of my absolute highest acquisition priorities, including the funding for the seventh national security cutter in the 2014 budget. the f.y. 2014 budget sustains the most critical front line foreign relations while -- with the -- and it has tough decisions to be informed by my highest priorities. these were difficult decisions for me and the service but they were the best ensuring we

for the united nations. the inspiration was, as you can see somewhat in the clipping and can see more clearly now, independence hall which was seen by philadelphians as an inspiration to the nation and, therefore, presumed to be an inspiration to the world. what better reason could there be to locate the united nations than to put it within the vicinity of the cradle of liberty? and i came to discover that this kind of attachment to local and national history was 'em pedded in many of -- embedded in many of the competitors that came forward offering themselves to be the capital of the world, that often they were acting from a basis of their local history which they saw as contributing to the nation's history which they saw then as having international significance. and it was especially true of places that have historic connections to the colonial era, to the american revolution and to founding fathers. so in addition to philadelphia, into the race come boston, morristown, new jersey, saratoga, new york, cha

it's a wake-up call for the nation. take care of your infrastructure before you have the kind of problem we had. biedrzycki: by no stretch of the imagination do i think we're out of the woods. recent cdc statistics indicate that up to 32 million cases of waterborne disease occur each year in this country. roy: but the vast majority of waterborne outbreaks go undetected. when people first get ill, they think, "oh, it's something i ate last night." they don't think, "oh, it's something i drank last night." narrator: the milwaukee incident pointed out the potential vulnerability of our drinking water infrastructure in controlling the spread of illness. biedrzycki: it's incumbent upon us to try to stay ahead of the curve, but it's very, very difficult. there's always another bug on the horizon. narrator: in 2008, the associated press reported that water quality testing across the nation uncovered trace amounts of pharmaceutical compounds in the drinking water supplies of millions of americans. the health effects of these lo

the national labor relations act was passed in the mid 1930's, and the national labor relations board, five members, three from the majority party and two the minority party are to act as a fair arbiter. basically the referee for disputes. and there was a ruling of the supreme court not long ago that said that two members, one democrat, one republican, both who agreed on over 600 decisions, that a quorum was not present and all of those decisions had to be thrown out. therein calls the question. the president made a pro forma recess appointment. presidents as has been stated here many times have made recess appointments to various boards and they have the constitutional right to do that, but no president has ever made a recess appointment during a pro forma session. let me read here from the senate across-the-board -- congressional record, november 16, 2007. this is leader reid, mr. president, the senate will be coming into pro forma session during the thanksgiving holiday to prevent recess appointments. the recent ruling of noel canning stated that the appointments were unconstitutio

the most salient difference between nations in the developed world and nations in the lesser-developed world is that nations in the developed world produce and consume the most energy whereas nations in the lesser developed parts of the world produce and consume the least. and so before us, we have a choice. and it's a choice between two futures. the first is a future of energy freedom, and independence, in which we continue to embrace the ideals of jefferson and franklin, where men follow their dreams, can work hard and pursue happiness, unconstrained by planners in washington, d.c., and pursue an open energy system and diversity of energy sources to create jobs and create jobs and unlimited growth and potential. the second is a future of energy scarcity, a future of energy dependency in which we abandon the traditions of the founding fathers, reject the american work ethic and deprive americans the ability to pursue their dream. by limiting their energy choices to only those that washington politicians and not the american people decide are worth while and sustainable. in short, in t

officer joseph vi trani who served as the officer of the director of national intelligence. he now heads the intelligence and national security alliance. welcome back. >> thank you. how alarming a development is this north korea relaunching these nuclear facilities? >> i think it's significant, very significant. certainly their admission in which they have a highly enriched uranium program which we knew all along but they never admitted it, that's significant. reconstituting a plutonium facility will take a few years but that's significant. >> warner: how long will it take? let's take the plutonium reactor which i gather used to supply at least most of the nuclear fuel for whatever they had. how long will it take to get that up and running again? >> the sense is it's in disrepair. it's been 2007 when they took it down and the cooling tower. so the sense would be at least a few years, two to two-and-a-half, three years to get it up and running. >> warner: we already know that they have enough fissile material for 6-8 bombs, 4-8 bombs and in fact they've had their own nuclear

things that we've been watching at the national level is that at the national level republicans don't really want to talk about their aggressive social conservative agenda. they don't want to be known as the crusading anti-abortion activist party. even though they are really governing that way everywhere that they've got power. you're the chair of the democratic party in virginia. are democrats going to put issues of social conservatism, the anti-gay views of ken cuccinelli, the way that he's been such an activist against abortion rights in your state, and these other matters? is that going to be front and center in the gubernatorial campaign? >> it already is, rachel. it already is. i can tell you people have their eye on ken cuccinelli and what he has been doing, and already -- voters are already in tune. it's been an issue. it will continue to be an issue. because what we're talking about and what's at stake is women's freedom to access healthcare. we're talking about equality for every virginian. and you know, people realize that this translates into what -- our economy, and how f

divided nation now already people watching the stability the future the future stability of venezuela are sort of doubtful seeing that how how split divided the nation is we saw that us and be had downgraded the country from a stable to a negative outlook this just shows you that investors are probably jittery and also you know this country sitting on one of the world's largest oil reserves people we're watching how this will move forward the first move most importantly for people here is becoming united and moving forward because they have a lot. problems that the president has to solve a very it's a very this my boy his the inaugural speech has acknowledged that crime security is the number one problem they have food shortages medicine shortages uniting a divided population the military the government it's a long list and so he's starting off with a weak mandate a divided nation and he has a lots of prove again he's the first president out there which obviously has a very excuse. i'm back in a half an hour with more news coming up next though a decade after the u.s. led invasion of

and the national science foundation. the president's calling for $100 million of extra spending for this initiative. it's not clear that that will actually make its way through congress, but i am told, and that is an important point, those three agencies can still allocate some of their funds to move forward with this. so, in other words, this is something that by all accounts will be moving forward, even if congress doesn't sign off on those extra funds. a lot of scientists are cheering this announcement. they say that it will help to prevent and cure diseases like alzheimer's, like epilepsy, but there are some who are still skeptical who say the technology is just into the there. >> kristen welker at the white house. let me bring susan in and, ed, to kristen's point, what are the chances this runs into some problems in congress? >> i'd say they're going to run into a lot of problems. not on is the national sign foundation and nih under the gun due to the sequestration, having lost a lot of money for research but this i

and they make the road disapeer to the national park. >> and the road is about 20 feet lower, normally midday, you go through it in two minutes. looking back from the golden gate bridge to presidio, you are more aware of the park land and less of the roads. and the viaduct will parallel the existing one and to the south and can be built while the existing one remains in operation. and the two bridges there with open space between them and your views constantly change and not aware of the traffic in the opposite direction and notice the views more. and the lanes of course are a foot wider than they are today. and they will be shoulders and if your car is disabled, you can pull off to the edge. and the next area, the tunnel portal will have a view centered on the palace of fine arts and as you come out, you can see alkatrez island and bay. and the next area is about 1,000 feet long. and when you come into one, you can see through the other end. it's almost like driving through a building than through a tunnel. and noise from the roadway will be sheltered. and the traffic will be out of v

people here in the state of california and the rest the nation in times of disaster. but there is work that needs to be done. first, we need to find a way that we can share capabilities that are resident within each of our organizations. as the commander of the army national guard you would think i know what forces are available in the army reserve in california. but i don't. i don't even know who their general officers are. i have no visibility on what forces are available at camp pendleton depending on your deployment cycle what fleet week can bring to bear. and we need to find a way, perhaps dcl, north palm being the broker of that, to maintain a better capabilities database so we know what is immediately available because under our old constructs, if we needed additional help in the national guard in california, we would go to the national guard from other states and that may be 1500 miles away. and that capability could be right down the road or down in san diego in one of the reserve components or in the active components of the marines or the navy and we need t

the way of winning this war -- we will win this on the national level by the way. the n.r.a. is an amazing organization who believe in the right to self-defense and believe guns are not the problem, it's the people who shoot. another point i want to point out with jeanne on the panel. i tell jeanne's story all the time. i think everyone needs to know her name and make her a household name. we need to make all the people who defended people over the years a household name and not glorify these killers.[applause] we are going to win this. possibly background checks but president obama needs votes from louisiana, arkansas and north carolina, senators who are not going to vote against the responsible gun owners in their districts. so i'm optimistic about nothing passing on a national level. gun violence is bigger than mass t shootings in this country. it's created by a failed drug war, a failed public school system that leads people to avenues for violence for success. and government policy that's been destroying communities in this country for years. all of those things -- one o

as the investigation begins into the collapse of the nation's major banks. a call for restraint from the united nations today. secretary-general ban ki-moon once the korean peninsula crisis could spiral out of control. he made the comments after p'yongyang announced it was restarting its nuclear program. >> washington has condemned the move as extremely alarming and is calling on russia and china to do more to rein in the unpredictable regime. >> in 2008, the north koreans blow up the cooling tower a year after the nuclear facility was shut down, but the government in p'yongyang plans to restart the plutonium plant as soon as possible. the reactor is capable of producing just 5 megawatts of power compared to state of the art plants capable of churning out 1,000 megawatts. analysts say north korea already possesses enough nuclear material to produce eight nuclear bombs. with it back on line, the material could multiplied in the years ahead. the united nations secretary general warned against further escalation on the korean peninsula. >> nuclear threats are n

that's about the national average. it is an awful situation, and for the reserve component, for the card, these soldiers have to travel for a base with is an active duty searching, doctor, medical doctor that can make the determination. it is a blow to morale. it is incredible that we have a loud the system to deteriorate in this way. and so my question is what you doing about it and what can we do to help if you need legislation? and again i'll be happy take it for the record but i don't want to let this slip by something that we have to address. i'm astonished it has gotten to the point where you have the soldiers who are being almost literally jerked around have to travel sometimes halfway across the country to go and be evaluated and then come back and after tournament and go back again and take years to get the question answer. this affects of course the ability to be retained and it's an important part of the process. on another subject, because with it an awful budget pinch which were talked about, and we've see

at the united nations, the global arms trade treaty passed calling for all nations involved to keep records of all arms transfers and suggests these records include information of end user ors private owners or as we call them in this country, citizens. the records would be kept in what the united nations calls, a, quote, international secretary yat, sparking fears that information on american gun owners would be publicly available around the world. congressional republicans have vowed to block ratification. meanwhile, congresswoman of new york pushes congress to pass a bill to require gun owners to buy insurance policy or face a $10,000 fine. similar proposals have failed in the states of california, connecticut, maryland, massachusetts, new york, and illinois, all traditionally left leaning states. also, here tonight, the dow jones industrial average and s&p 500 moving to record highs. wall street veteran joining us to give us an analysis of how high the market will go, one of the country's leading hedge fund executives. a bomb shell in the case today as well. the wrongful death trial of

of the nation on their shoulders. for me that appreciation very much extends to president bush. the first thing i found in that desk the day i took office was a letter from george, and one that demonstrated his compassion and his generosity. for he knew that i would come to learn what he had learned, that being president above all is a humbling job. there are moments where you make mistakes. there are times where you wish you could turn back the clock, and what i know is true about president bush, i hope my successor will say about me, is that we love this country and with do our best. now, in the past president bush has said it's impossible to pass judgment on his presidency while he is still alive, so maybe this is premature. there are certain things we know for certain, we know about the son who was raised by two strong loving parents in midland, famously inheriting as he says my daddy's eyes and my mother's mouth. the young boy who once came home after a trip to museum and proudly presented his horrified mother wi
