to the united states. it can't be separated. they can't be separated from ordinary communication networks. to intercept important information, they have to intercept information from the same networks that ordinary citizens use to communicate their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. dinlgty zation and the rise of big data means all information can be analyzed and suggested to sophisticated algorithms generating new knowledge in the process. this large mass collection at the same time looks a lot like what the founders were trying to avoid by preventing the government from using promiss skewous search authorities. it is exactly what otis protested and it gave birth to the fourth amendment. >>> to conclude, in 1946, churchill warned us from this very place about the dangers that attached to tyranny. the risk that great power will erode the ancient rights on which english-speaking people rely. it is not without grave concern that i return to his words. although we face new enemies, it is our liberties that continu

the price of energy in the united states. worry about the bottom line of the petroleum industry. i say, time-out, wait a minute. this is america. this is about the american economy. this is about men and women that go to the gas pump and buy gasoline, farmers out there having to buy diesel in order to plow their fields and harvest their crops. trains moving goods and services back across the united states. the airline industry. this is not just about the petroleum industry, this is a big deal for america. if we take a strategic national as a et and just allow it to go -- asset and just allow it to go anywhere in the world so that it is to the benefit of a small but important slice of the american economy, we're making a big mistake. so let me just put some caskyots on this piece of legislation -- caveats on this piece of legislation. harkin back to the alaska situation, back in 1995, where they opened the spigot. they put in a caveat that said, no, can't do it. if it results in aned a a verse effect on -- an adverse effect on

the president of the united states and the vice president of the united states other than to tell you that the president deeply values that advice. i'm not going to get into the substance. >> so you can't say if the vice president was telling you the truth. josh: i don't have any insight to share with you about the private conversations between the president and the vice president. >> what are we to make of the fact that his -- that leon panetta said point-blank in his book that biden came out firmly in favor of waiting for more information that robert gates said biden was against the operation, hillary clinton said biden remained skeptical. biden himself has said that he was against the decision. you said point-blank that -- he said, point-blank, my suggestion is mr. president don't go. what are we to make of the fact that all these people said exactly the opposite, including biden himself? josh: i'm not going to be able to provide a lot of insight between the president and vice president. >> let me ask you about something else that was not private scommune cases. the president said

jobs in the united states of america. and one of the biggest historical manipulateors, japan, is a member of the t.p.p. the administration has even floated the idea of adding china, probably the worst currency manipulator in history. china's recent devaluation, just a few short weeks ago cost up to 640,000 jobs, american jobs, according to the economic policy institute. and after the administration decided to take no action against china, t.p.p. partner vietnam followed suit and they devalued their own currency. in other words, with this agreement, we are rewarding the cheats. no currency forum as the administration has talked about, because enforceable currency regulations are not in the legislation, but they say there is going to be a forum to discuss it. you can have a lot of forums, but unless you have an enforcement mechanism to say no, it's not going to be fixed. and it has to be fixed in the agreement and it is not. so it is meaningless. it doesn't end that h there. w.t.o. trade agreements led to the dismantling of

the united states maintains. and essentially, we're weeding out people who are liars, who are criminals, who are would-be terrorists. and so this is partly why the program, the three million people we've brought here. we have very few cases of people ending up getting into trouble, or threatening trouble. that doesn't mean that we should let our guard down. i think we can only run this program taking every possible step to keep out bad guys. i completely agree with that. i know the entire state department agrees with me on this. we have to do both. we have to run a program that is as efficient as possible, that provides us humanitarian pathway to a new life for a number of the refugees, and we have to keep out the people who are up to no good. >> just a few final questions. we know what the amount of money -- the unmet need that's being provided by the international community in percentage terms. what is it in actual dollar terms? what is the unmet need for this crisis? secondly, are you considering the designati

in summerlin, because after all, we do part company quite strongly from the united states when the united states says we need an outcome expanding alteration to the definition of substantive rules under teague. we say that's not just a slight tweak to teague. what that is is a change in the understanding of what a substantive rule is. substantive rules under teague analysis have never depended on the frequency with which new outcomes might come about under the new procedures. in fact, in summerlin, and this goes back to my original point about the framework, summerlin explained that a criminal defendant under a procedural rule does have the opportunity of getting a more lenient outcome under the new procedures. so -- and nonetheless, summerlin said that such procedural rules are not applied retroactively. and so as justice alito, as you were saying, the difference between a substantive and procedural rule under teague is not whether it's very likely or very, very likely to result in a new outcome. it's about whether the new rule categorically removes the power of the state to impose a cat

of the united states. it was an negotiation. you can't simply dictate the terms. i think it is fair to say the united states at some level is comfortable with these provisions. the administration is comfortable with the provisions. they've been frankly defending them vociferously. i think it is not in this case unfair to associate these provisions with the u.s. negotiators. host: a couple of comments on twitter. with the new money they can buy bombs that korea and moscow will sell to them. and they say when iran violates the treaty treaty/deal/agreement what are the options? the u.s. sanctions that are not affected. we talked a little bit about that. go ahead. michael: sure. the question of buying a fully fledged nuclear weapon. it is a concern. nothing in the deal allows that. hopefully nothing in the deal makes it easier. the bigger concern, i would say would be duel use items. items which could have an extensive civilian purpose and have a co-vet nuclear purpose coming into iran. the deal attempts to po

the united states has stepped up. the u.s. government has stepped up to make a significant contribution. the white house recently did organize this online portal so that if there are private u.s. citizens who are interested in making a financial contribution to ongoing humanitarian relief efforts, that there's information about that on the white house website, essentially it will steer you toward charitable organizations geared toward responding to this crisis. >> some of the past hatreds in that part of the country since the '30s are coming out again, resurfacing. i know the president is aware. but does this cause him any moral pain when he thinks of this kind of thing coming back again, to face europe and to face this country? >> i think part of this, there is a natural human reaction that i think does not reflect in any way the majority, the prevailing opinion either across the united states or across europe about the fact that these individuals who are fleeing violence in syria are human beings. they have the same worries

the united states admission's program reflects the united states highest values and aspirations of compassion, generosity, and leadership. resettlement opportunities are refocused on refugees that have immediate needs for durrable and lasting solutions. while maintaining our leadership role in humanitarian mission, an integ radical part of this mission is to ensure that refugee status goes to those not a threat to our country. we are currently looking for defecting fraud for those seeking settlement in the united states. we are more -- our research is more intense than any other .pplicant to the us -- u.s. we collaborate closely with the help of disease control to protect citizens of the united tates. the program will grow to serve refugees, 10,000 of which will include syrian refugees. the program enjoys substantial support from state and local government. the program resettles refugees o 48 states, 173 cities in 304 sites. as a public-private partnership it requires the support of american non-governmental organizations, charities, faith-based groups, and thousands of volunteers and support

level in the united states. and that's what i really want to focus on. it creates then a cascade of problems that political and legal developments attempt to grapple with. they attempt to grapple with it without addressing that fundamental disconnect at the heart of the 1965 law and so you see a series of enactments at both the state and federal level that are, perhaps we could say, biting around the edges of the problem but not really getting to the root of it itself. so immediately after 1965, or very soon thereafter, you start to see some of the effects of the state level. in 1971 california passes an employer sanctions law. for the first time it's able to sort of connect the idea of who should be working within california to the concept of illegality that the 1965 act helped set up. california is in a fairly -- 1971, yeah. california is in a recession at this point. this law, this employer sanctioned law that stops employers in california from -- or at least penalizes employers from hiring unauthorized worke

he wanted to stay in the united states and work in the united states rather than returning to iraq. work as aand got research professor at the university of missouri, became an integral part of the columbia community. he and his wife ultimately had five children, all of them american-born u.s. citizens. the problem is beginning of the early 1990's, for the next decade, he had numerous family member still in iraq, including 11 siblings, along with his elderly mother who was blind. millions ofs and iraqis, his family members were not just suffering great deprivation, although they were, they were literally on the boundary of starvation, typically unable to feed themselves in any way that provides major sustenance. this is incredibly common among the regime sanctions. although he was earning a modest salary, he simply could not in good conscious live even what was really a lower middle-class american existence with some discretionary funds while his family was suffering so greatly in iraq. he began to find ways to send very small amount of money back to his family in a rack, but a -- l

the united states. certainly not consistent with the best interests of the american middle class. and it certainly doesn't represent a coherent realistic vision for the future of the united states with a really strong economy. >> will it news today lead the president to ask for treasury to get the rules done? >> again, for an update on that process, i'd refer you to the treasury department. >> are we going to hear more on this, not the about the particular deal, but about the aversion rules in general? >> the president views this -- without speaking to any corporate announcement, the president's passion for closing these kinds of loopholes has not changed. the president believes that kind of money is much better spent by investing in job training and research and development and education and infrastructure, the kinds of things that are critical to building the strong middle class in america. >> the ceo specifically blamed the u.s. tax code as a reason he's seeking this deal. do you have a response to a

in the united states, during the irish problems. there was a lot of money and weapons funnelled from the united states or the ira. does that make it a terrorist country. >> here is where the issues dash there are clerics that might be inciting this behaviour. is the saudi arabia willing or able to do more. >> there's a difference between clerics, old people, expressing sympathy and support for the people, in a struggle against a regime. and between direct incitement to kill or go to jihad in iraq and syria. the latter is forbidden by law. whether you are a cleric or an individual, if you commit that, you are committing a crime. this has been the case in saudi arabia, well before it was declared in many other parts of the world, and the clerics who hold, you would argue, more power in saudi arabia, than in many countries. saudi arabia has a lot of influence from the clerics. are they on board with what you are saying? >> all the clerics, that have official positions in the saudi arabia government or structure have condemned acts of t

i thi the united states should be treating them as they are which is illegal and what the united states should be doing is doing two things. one, puchg for their complete dismantle much and number 2, that the united states doesn't give israel any more money unless and until it ends the apartheid regime and settlement activity. >> you feel financial assistance military equipment what about this conversation that dennis ross had about what he calls coordinated unilateralism, that the u.s. is the third party that oversees whatever happened, is that still a likelihood, is the united states still a legitimate player in peace talks or any peace process between israel and palestine? >> the only role that the united states has played over the course of the past several decades is to be israel's enabler. it has provided israel with unbridled military and financial 74tsupport and military support whether it is in the united nations or otherwise. the role that the united states has been playing is being israel's lawyer, israel's advocate. this is the role that the rest of the world has recognized,

the united states scratches the surface. maybe plrks millibrand, you can help me with this, too. in other countries, the number of refugees flowing into them, what would be the percent, vis-a-vis, taking place? >> one-fourth of the jordanian population. in occurred stan it's one-fifth of their population. these are unimaginable numbers. >> 20% to 25%? >> 25% in jordan is syrian refugee right now. lebanon, sorry. >> just to follow that, 85% of the world's refugees are in developing countries. the european comparison would be germany has agreed to take 500,000 refugees -- accept 500,000 asylum claims over the next year and each of the next three years, a population of 90 million. italy, population of some 60 million, has taken in each of the last two years 120,000 refugees. the uk prime minister has pledged they'll take 4,000 a year in a population of 60 million. you can see the variation there and the big gap between the neighboring states in the middle east and the european government. it's worth saying the u.s. at its peak

the colors have been one of the most important elements of a military unit. at the center is an armed forced color guard baring the national color and the service flags of the army, marine corps, navy, air force and coast guard. following is an element from the navy honor guard led by lieutenant william maston. the petty officer is patrick sullivan. the next element on line is comprised of members from the united states air force honor guard led by first lieutenant kenda gusme. following is an element of the united states coast guard honor guard led by lieutenant junior grade edward gaylord and petty officer mike kaiser. the last element on line dressed in the continental musicians uniform is the old guard fife and drum corps. during the american revolution, musicians wore the reverse color of thi of their infantry unit. they wear red coats instead of the blue. the corps is led by drum major james hague. to the rear are the 56 state and territorial flags of the united states led by captain brandon wright. the sergeant is sergeant first cl class joseph brown.

it's the law in the united states. it's not going to stop members of this panel on the senate for trying to overturn the law but the president is making this commitment to the world based upon the law. we only installed 70 meg watts of solar in the united states in 2005. last year we installed 7,000 meg watts, not 70. and between 2015 and 2016 we're going to install 20,000 new meg watts of solar. the price is collapsing. the same thing is true for wind. and so what we now have is 6% of all electricity coming from wind and solar in the united states. in 2005 it was 1%. we keep on this pathway and we keep the state renewable electricity standards on the books, we keep the tax breaks on the books as law we'll be at 15% to 220% renewable electricity b 2025 unless people work hard to repeal the law that the president is operating under. so the chairman the right. there is always within our constitutional system an ability toll overturn what is existing law but there's nothing the president is doing which is not consistent w

troops to reinforce iraqi units. the u.s. has invited iran to talks on the conflict in vienna on friday. on the grounded the fighting continues. there is upsurge in violence that has displaced 120,000 syrians in the last month alone. that includes airstrikes carried out by russia. rosalind jordan has the story from washington, d.c. >> the u.s. military is rolling out a new version of its counter isil strategy. they're calling it the three rs. taking over raqqa, and the ramallah area, an. >> conducting such missions directly. >> carter eight's statement comes after last week's raid where u.s. special forces jumped in to help kurdish fighters. if so, that would be a major policy change for the u.s. president obama promise nod grouped troops to fight isil. carter told congressional panel on tuesday that despite russia's decision to launch airstrikes in syria, the u.s. is pressuring iraqi prime minister hyder al abadi to not let russia join the fight on its territory. >> we're the preferred partner in iraq. we've insisted on that

what we want to do is send not just the reality but the message that the united states is prepared to do more militarily which should help move the situation on the ground which in turn should strengthen the hand of john kerry and others at the table in vienna. it's almost like the policy in afghanistan where we would build up but then we would set an exit date and it tended to be contradictory. we don't want to get into that situation here where we say what we're going to do but also, we hint at what it is we're not prepared to do. >> what about the challenge of how hard it is to kill an idea? we all read the stories about young people, whether recruited or not, who pack up and go off to fight with isis because they like the idea, they like the cause. >> well, what we can do is kill the momentum. i don't think isis is so much an idea as it's a way to, what, show that sunnis can do well in this middle east. it pushes back against iran, it pushes back against shia. it basically does something about what's been a prolonged era of humiliation. what isis is going for, it's done well. so i

first time at the united natio nations. the flag of the state of palestine, following a decision by the u.n. general assembly, observer states, there are two, palestine and the holy sea, are now allowed to fly their national flags. the ceremony was attending by palestinian president mahmoud abbas and the u.n. secretary general. >> i sincerely hope that a successful peace process will soon yield. but they -- when we unfold the palestinian flag in its proper place among the family the nations as a sovereign member of the state of the united nations. >> reporter: however, the political process to lead to that day is deadlocked. in his speech to the general assembly, president abbas put all the blame on the israelis. he said he needed to raise the alarm about recent violence in jerusalem which he said was caused by israel incursions around the al-aqsa mosque and told the chamber as israel had not been abiding by the oslo accord signed 22 years ago, he now wouldn't do so either. >> translator: they leave us no choice but to insi

as a proxy of the united states. the shah was quite happy to take that on. i would argue with you that that was not a significant -- sufficient explanation, because the johnson administration, in 1968, faced the same dilemma and came to a different conclusion, the one you just listed. they decide to continue with a balancing iran and saudi arabia, their idea was a balance was the best way to maintain stability. this was the famous twin pillars policy. the nixon administration abandoned that policy and shifted to one that gave iran the primary. the reality was, the shah assumed the mantle of this policy. it has a lot to do with the personal relationship between richard nixon and the shah, which went all the way back to 1953. there was a mutual respect, interest, i would even say in esteem -- an esteem, they gave nixon confident that he could trust the shah. host: you talk about the saudi arabians reluctance to work with the united states, there was another track in the nixon administration, how did -- iran's iranian r

resettling in the united states. this is about 45 minutes. secretary johnson: good morning, everybody. that was pretty good. good morning, everybody. >> good morning. secretary johnson: you know, it's good to be here as general swan pointed out this is my second address to the ausa. someone may get the impression that i actually like the army and i do. as usual, i have taken my prepared address given to me by my speech writer. i read it. said oh, that's very interesting and i prepared my own remarks, which means that i will tell you what i really think. within limits. i asked my staff last week, what should i say to the ausa? very simple, sir. just tell them how great the army is. you love the army. well, ladies and gentlemen, i am here to tell you, you are great. the army is great. i love the army. why do i say that? for real? when i left the department of efense at the end of 2012 as the senior lawyer for the department of defense, i was , ck in private law practice perhaps the thing the most i miss about public se

the major country relationship between china and the united states. i think it is also very important for people to view things from a new perspective. that is we are in the 21st century. the 20th century is a great century, but there are lessons to be learned as well. so people should adopt a more forward-looking attitude. betty: on a final note, mr. jiechi, i have spoken a lot about the concerns of the americans, but i am curious from you. what deeply concerns you the most? what keeps you up at night? mr. jiechi: well, now in this information age, diplomacy is going on somewhere while you are asleep or awake. so i have to make sure that things will function in a "normal fashion." it is my view that people of the world aspire to a better tomorrow and it is the responsibility of diplomats both to bridge the gap between various countries and to promote more good interaction among the peoples. in the face of climate change, energy problems, terrorism, and many other things. i think china and the united states and many other countries should work togethe

secretary ernest: the case that the united states has made is the united states and our coalition partners are responding to a specific request from iraq, and the concern that they have expressed about isil. our primary response was to assist the iraqi government. what is also clear is the national security threat actually emanated from syria. because the central government of syria was either unable or unwilling to take the necessary actions to mitigate that national security threat that was being experienced by iraq, the united states and our coalition partners have taken action out of the concern that we have for iraqi national security, and the available evidence that indicates that the central government in syria is unable or unwilling to act on it themselves. reporter: who will be hosting the special forces in syria? you mentioned the moderate syrian opposition. is that the kurds -- is it the kurds, or a mix of different parties? will be bases, safe houses? secretary ernest: for operational security reasons, i'm not going to be able to get into the details of where exactly these mili

the united states have in the region trying to stabilize it. president kerry said we were going to increase the number of refugees from 70,000 in fiscal year 2015 to 75,000. saidple of weeks later, he that a number may be 85,000, and they could go as high as 100,000. settingas more or less a floor of 10,000 syrians in particular. aboutw the discussion is a larger number somewhere between 85000 and 100,000 fair and i'm trying to get the math to work. i do not think any of you have been told your resources are being increased proportionate to refugees. of at the most fundamental level, how young to figure out observe this -- absorb this at the current rate. is the important thing we all have common obligation to ensure the safety of home with her there will be handoffs between the various agencies. how do we ensure with the increased workload and pressure to help the refugees, that we do that couldmistake potentially put them at risk? >> i will start with the numbers, perhaps the easiest part of the question. thee clear, the goal, target, the cei

a former ambassador to the united states, a leader in the powerful state council, and china's top negotiator on foreign policy. we talked about the most pressing issues between the two countries, from cyber spying to the most recent market turmoil. but first, we begin on chinese president xi jingping's visit to the united states. what does he hope to accomplish in the u.s.? >> i think a lot can be accomplished. i believe the following three areas are very important. first, it is for the two leaders to have in-depth discussions following the discussion in california and in beijing about the international situation, about our respective country's policies. to chart a way forward further in our relationship. we expect that there will be quite a few positive practical cooperation results flowing from the visit. what people called "deliverables." i believe that the president will reach out to the american society to build the friendship between our two people. betty: people have said for this visit could be compared to the visit in 1979. it is that important to the relationship between the u.s. a

the world peace was not communism or the soviet union or china, it was the united states. so therefore, take a step back america, and i'm going to make it happen. lou: your thoughts, john? >> for a year and a half or two years we've seen a number of incidents at sea and the air where russian assets have challenged our airspace, come close to ships at sea or nato areas, i think they've been practicing. they're ready to go. we don't have a clue, we were flat-footed by, this even after a 90 minute meeting by putin and obama monday. secretary of state kerry said we would welcome russian participation about isis, and even as they're striking non-isis targets forces that we supposedly support and then to appear again with him this evening to say we've got a few details to work out. the theater of the two of them standing there together and who went first? sergey lavrov. who has the upper hand? he knows even if john kerry doesn't. lou: and k.t., quickly, the withdrawal of our so-called spies, intelligence operatives, intelligence analysts in china. the public has known about it f

last week i interviewed the saudi arabia ambassador to the united nations, and he insisted the u.s. and the saudi arabia kingdom do share values, like - this is a quote - human rights, dignity, freedom of individuals and so forth. i challenged him. human rights from a country sentencing human processes to death and human rights blogger to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes. dignity from a country. even to enter a public hospital unless a male guardian gives his approval. saudi arabia women have been granted the right to vote. but i don't think big decisions in saudi arabia life are decided at the municipal level. america's shared values with saudi arabia are not values, unless gaol and trade are values. they are the biggest triading partner in the middle east. closer to 39 billion in saudi arabia imports coming to the united states in 2013. nearly all of those imports are, of course, oil. the same observe let's be frank relations with saudi arabia that the u.s. has with china and >> oil in the arctic. >> we're the eyes and the ears here in the arctic, we wanna be prepared. >> as th

socialist parties here in the united states and the communist party of the united states were powerful. they had a lot of people, and they worked together with the c.i.o. and together, they went to the government at that time, and they said 2 things: "we represent the mass of working people, and we don't want to suffer the way we're suffering in this breakdown of capitalism. you gotta do something." and they addressed themselves to a kind of middle-of-the-road democratic politician who had just gotten elected president on a program of a balanced budget-- franklin roosevelt. and they said to him, "you've gotta do something for the people." and the socialists and communists said, "you gotta do something for the people," but they added a little barb, "because we think that there's a better system, an alternative system, to capitalism. and if you keep performing as badly as you're doing in the depths of the depression, we're gonna try to establish that alternative." and they pointed across the ocean to the soviet union, said, "see? like them." that scared folks. and mr. roosevelt was a goo

it's just the priorities for the united states right now. it's not addressing the problem of what i call the much too promised land. >> that's ou aaron david miller. >> mdma helps with the therapeutic connection. >> exclusive access to the experimental tests. >> our fears are dancing between us. >> techknow's team of experts show you how the miracles of science... >> this is what innovation looks like. >> can affect and surprise us. >> i feel like we're making an impact. >> awesome! >> techknow - where technology meets humanity. >> solving the palestinian conflict got even more confusing because palestinian president mahmood abbas announced at the united nations that the palestinians would no longer be bound by the oslo accord. those accords have been the bases of two decades of negotiations. benjamin netanyahu said that his country will continue to negotiate with the palestinians, but, quote, without pre-conditions. to help unscramble what these two leaders are really saying, i turn to danny aiello in, the israel's deputy foreign minister a

it's the law in the united states. it's not going to stop members of this panel on the senate for trying to overturn the law but the president is making this commitment to the world based upon the law. we only installed 70 megawatts of solar in the united states in 2005. last year we installed 7,000 megawatts, not 20. and between 2015 and 2016 we're going to install 20,000 megawatts of solar. the price is collapsing. the same thing is true for wind. and so what we now have is 6% of all electricity coming from wind and solar in the united states in 2005, it was 1%. we keep on this pathway and we keep the state renewable electricity standards on the books, we keep the tax breaks on the books as law, we'll be at 15% to 20% renewable electricity by the year 2025 unless people work hard to repeal the law that the president is operating under. so the chairman is right. there is always within our constitutional system an ability to overturn what is existing law, but there's nothing the president is doing which is not consiste

currently the united states has persisted the rotation of units in poland. white infantry, that would be useful in terms of deterring russia, also in terms of assuring the states infantry would not be a huge offensive threat to the russians. again, looking at whatever paradigm the russians in the choosing is well within the capacity of the united states, particularly when your looking at countries that marshall economies that are 15 times the size of russia's. the west ought to be up to the challenge. having said that, i think that, i think russia is now in the besieged paradigm. what does that mean? i think some cooperation is possible, but it will be limited. so this channel which has been set up between the us and russian military to de- conflict ongoing air operations makes a lot of sense. those military forces operating close proximity. we want to have some conversation so there is no miscalculation. the.was made over the weekend. you want to make sure you avoid mistakes like that. i tend to be skeptical about broader cooperation because it seems to me
