let's start with the problems in washington. the white house saying the health and recovery is leaving too many people behind, especially people who are low and middle income. do they have a right? >> certainly part of the mortgage market is not here that would be otherwise, but the attitude in washington is trying to re-create a bubble rather than have supplies and demand drive the market. what they are talking about is trying to get people who do not have a good history, this is not about perfect credit people being kept out of the market, this is borrowers who have a history of not being able to get a mortgage. also, the problem washington created like chicago taking up 1000 days to foreclose on a home. if we have a mortgage market to the lender has to provide three years free rent, guess what, lenders are not going to make loans to those borrowers. gerri: one of the interesting things here is the white house wants to put the pressure on the banking industry to land. here's what they were saying today. going so far to say the

across the chinese defense concerns i'm joined by and you'll group in washington he is a professor of strategy and globalization at the university of maryland and also in washington we have matthew skew venza he is an associate editor of the china channel at the atlantic and in boston we cross to john walsh he is a contributor to counterpunch and antiwar dot com as well as a founding member of come home america right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want john if i go to you first in boston do you think that the chinese feel like this is a policy of containment we had containment during the cold war of the soviet union we have containment of iran now so china's next well i think there's little doubt about that because the united states secretary john kerry secretary of state says and others say that we the united states is sending sixty percent of a vast military armada to to the to the east asia the western pacific now they say the excuse given is there's more economic activity there so the u.s. needs to send troops. well down the street here

to north korea's bellicose threats washington responds with an even more intense buildup of military power in the region to that north korea responds with even more threats even though defense secretary chuck hagel called north korea real and clear danger the white house says they have a large scale movements from north korean military forces suggesting that it may be just rhetoric but while north korea talks washington acts apart from f. twenty two fighter jets and other bombers that it sent to the region for the ongoing military exercises with south korea the pentagon is now deploying an advanced missile defense system to guam a major u.s. military base in asia north korea the north korean army has announced that it has the final approval for a nuclear attack on the us as they tell us north korean rockets can freely. but they can potentially attack u.s. bases in the region there are twenty thousand u.s. troops just across the border in south korea so could we see the worst nuclear standoff since the cuban missile crisis between the soviet union and the u.s. even though the rhetoric

gerald horne that says it looks like washington wants to repeat that you're wrong invasion cydonia with recent allegations and leaving plenty of room for provocation from the syrian rebels. it's deja vu all over again we will remember the disaster as an adventurous u.s. and british invasion of iraq in two thousand and three based on allegations of weapons of mass destruction that proved to be faulty therefore we must ask some very difficult and searching questions for example what was the chain of custody with regard to the samples taken from the battlefield of syria to leopard stories and wonder and in washington was there or was there the possibility of contamination or foul play or hanky panky these samples and how can you show that the regime rather than the rebels actually used these alleged chemical weapons and since we already know the next security divisions within the military is driving the conflict in both syria and iraq how do we know that someone a gay soldier in the syrian military who is actually collaborating with the rebels watch these chemical weapons so as to provide

and the president reacting to the situation in washington. i think you have to ask the question, after hearing the president on this, how is this going to affect possible bipartisan compromise on issues like immigration reform coming down the road. this is a clearly disappointed, frustrated president who's asking a question about washington, how can they ever get anything done if they can't do something that 9 out of 10 people in america want. >> very disappointing for the president. very disappointing for those families from newtown, connecticut. the governor of massachusetts, governor deval patrick, is here joining us right now. i know you support the president on this. the we'll have much more analysis later on what has happened in the united states. and to give us a quick thought. i assume you thought at least a modified compromise version of background checks would pass the senate. but it failed. >> well, wolf, i think we all did. not just people who follow politics in washington, but the american people. and i think as your colleague de

maybe we'll hear about the full name of the march on washington which was the march on washington for jobs and freedom, and maybe we'll even hear about the kennedy administration's horror about this march. they didn't want this to happen. they were concerned that it would just lead to violence to the point where president kennedy shut down the federal government other than for essential personnel the day that this occurred in '63. but i'm pretty certain that the commemoration's mostly going to focus on dr. king and "i have a dream." we all know the speech, i'm sure most of us can recite large chunks of it, especially toward the end, and, you know, it's a great speech. it's optimistic, it's hopeful, it's king at his best when it comes to the delivery and the cadence and the style and the emotional appeal of it. but it also freezes dr. king in 1963, in this moment, right? who's talking about equality and brotherhood which are fine themes, and a fine message, but it freezes him and obscures the complexity of king, obscures the complexity of the black freedom struggle, and it obscures the
