a lot of clout, senator joe lieberman, israel's ambassador to the u.s.mike pence, and democrat shelly berkel. this is a growing influential group no doubt. >> what is their opinion towards obama's administration? >> it is not too high. mike pence out of indiana said the obama is the most antiisrael administraon in american history. that summeup the sentiments of the cufi crowd unfortunately. it can't be ignored what the obama administration is doing with israel. recent photo op with israel prime nister benjamin netanyahu. they want to see more policies out of this administration, policies that line up with the policies of every administration over the past 50-60 years. >> what is behind their passion for israel? >> no. 1, biblically, the bible says clearly, abouisrael, i will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse yo there is a biblical mandate, christians, we worship,wendy, a jewish rabbi named jesus. all of the figures are jewish, from the old testament, many of them. we have that shared judeo values, worship, god of abraham, isaac, and jacob. israel in the middle eas

even this morning, senator lieberman and i had a meeting with one republican who has indicated a willingness to begin working toward something. harry reid today is committed to giving us that opportunity, that open door, if you will, over the next weeks, days, months, what ever it takes to find those 60 votes. the work will continue every single day. in the meantime, as senator reid has just said, we have an obligation to the american people. we have an obligation to our country and that is to respond to the oil spill in the gulf. that is why senator reid will bring this admittedly narrow limited bill to the floor because he is determined to do what we can in the timeframe that we have before the august break. that will address some of our energy independence and some of -- some of our energy dependence and some of the oil spill issues. let me be crystal clear -- this legislation that he has proposed does not replace climate legislation. it does not replace comprehensive energy legislation president obama call me before this meeting and said point blank that he has committed to working in th

three-quarters of lieberman's party. 90% of kadima believe the same as i do. that we should move -- try our best to put an end to it even if it takes painful decisions about everything -- to settle and to get rid of this conflict once and for all. >> charlie: is benjamin netanyahu prepared to make those painful decisions? >> i think that he's thoughtful person, extremely heartfelt in coming to -- it's easy for him to come to grip with historic realities, son of historian probably different from me and it is not easy for him on the -- looking into his background or probably his gut feeling. no one can penetrate the soul of any one of us. but i'm confident that he's extremely sincere about it. fully understanding the need to push forward keeping our security and vital interests on one hand and being ready to move forward in the political process. i cannot promise you what will happen along the way. i cannot promise it with regard to abu mazan, i cannot promise it about our government, i can promise you that we -- that myself and our party will not sway about thi

if joe lieberman. >> it's not a non sequitur. it is a fact. >> let's think of one thing. if joe lieberman were to become president we wouldn't say there was no longer anti-semitism. if hillary clinton were president we wouldn't say the world is no longer sexist. >> i don't think anyone is saying there is no racism. i think obsessing on race, when we have desperate joblessness. >> larry: one at a time. hold it. one at a time. mark. one at a time. >> one, laura. >> larry: laura. >> pointed to the election of a black president as evidence of white supremacy no longer lingers. >> i never said that. >> if you want to focus on public policy, any measure of social prosperity black people are at the bottom of it. social misery, black people are up at the top of it including the unemployment numbers. president obama is not the first president to link race to public policy. when president bush ushered in the no child left behind policy he talked about the achievement gap between blacks and whites. nobody wanted to be post-racial but post-racist. that's what we're fighting for. >> o

that is a long as senator mccain and senator lieberman. they are very supportive of public safety. a think a lot of people on the bill get it. it is a matter of reallocating spectrum for public safety. the commission was in good faith trying to move things forward. if people are feeling that maybe there was a divide or hurt feelings we will get past it. i see this as nothing but a professional discussion. i do not think it got to a point where it was ever heeded. >> any response? >> generally speaking, even when i was at the fcc, there were always supportive of public safety. no argument there. if i limit your question to the issue of broadband, there is a deep divide. with the one to call it a spirited conversation, here is disagreement. here is my fear. the divide our disagreement or spirit of this debate is overflowing to congress. we have the rockefeller bill. waxman has another bill. there will be others. i hope this argument does not result in something that basically makes the funding go into neutral. this is the last opportunity. maybe that is an overstep meant, but let me

they have done some modeling on this legislation that john kerry and joe lieberman introduced. they said even the broad version would have some effect on household costs, but the estimated it is very modest. but they think would be on the order of roughly $80-$150 per year ballpark. there could be regional differences there the fat -- depending on the power, but they recognize that this is a huge potential political liability for them. they are bending over backwards to have different provisions in the bill that would, for free, get out some of the emissions allowances. the requirements that power plants must pass the savings on to the consumer. with that being said, some of the studies funded by interest groups estimate that there would be much more substantial costs than what the epa is estimating. yes, thus far the federal studies show that the effect on household costs would be fairly modest. host: on a republican line, drawn out of greensboro, north carolina. caller: i have a question. has anybody ever done a study on what the effect of the interstate highway systems that

faced with it's very easy to jump to oversimplified solutions like the skills which idea by senator lieberman senator snowe which would essentially allow the government of president obama in a specific case of a national emergency to cut off the internet but who decides what the national emergency is and when it rises to that level and doesn't that sort of reflect their lack of understanding for the role that the internet plays in our society today and it's very dangerous and the thing that i'm that is most concerning here that i think is that you have essential a whole entire cottage industry that has sprung up around the threat of cyber warfare we've never had a cyber war i don't even know what one would look like and unfortunately a lot of experts don't know that as well but you do have a lot of people a lot of contractors who were former high level administration officials for example michael chertoff mike mcconnell richard clarke who are all benefiting from these vast of. vast massive contracts for cyber security defense today by any chance happen to say who it is that we're fighting in

we wrote that in response to that attack, in all likelihood, senator mccain and senator lieberman introduced a bill in the senate that would codify the government's power to detain suspects indefinitely without charge. and then senator graham, someone i respect a great deal, began to draft legislation in support of something very similar. all of these pieces of legislation are still spending -- pending. i think that summer in the drafting stage. we contended that those arguing for new laws such as these misunderstand fundamentally both the limits of the legislative function and the nature of the judicial process. determining whether prisoners detention is unlawful has always been a judicial function. some reflection should provide insight into why that is so and why it should be so. a wide range of conduct that we subject a person to lawful detention cannot be reduced to a statute. take for instance, we wrote, the detainees alleged attendance at a training camp. what if you stayed only a day for a week and in that time, engage in no training at all and left voluntarily? what if he attended l

i bring my skills to pass a intelligence reform, working with people like joe lieberman. we have a shared vision for keeping america safe, with a willingness to compromise to get to a solution. at the end of the process, it may not be everything we hoped for, but it is better than what we had before. working on federal prison industry to protect mission -- michigan jobs. maile co-sponsors are john conyers and barney frank -- my lead the co-sponsors are john conyers and barney frank. >> senator george. >> thank you. i have the best record a bipartisan accomplishment. i have had to work with democrats. i have found a way to do it. one of by first packages a bill was end of life care legislation. it was meant to bring better care to dying patients. i have worked on smoke-free air regulation, which would not have passed the michigan senate without my help. i'm working on a bipartisan package of bills to help facilitate new uses for abandoned and tax reverted properties. there are nearly 70,000 in michigan. bipartisanship is necessary. working together with the other side to g

i worked with people like joe lieberman, susan collins, and others, humming a shared vision for keeping american safe and being willing to compromise to get to a solution and at the end of the processing, "it is not everything i would have hoped for, but it is better than what we had before and it moves us in the right direction." i worked to protect michigan jobs. maile co-sponsors were john conyers and barney frank. an ability to focus on the issues and to focus on solutions and get the job done. >> i am the candidate with the best record of bipartisan accomplishment. i have served in the legislature for 10 years in a term limited and burma. i have had to work with democrats and found a way to do it. one of my bills was end of life care legislation. i am a physician. it was to facilitate better care for dying patients. i have also worked on smoke-free air legislation that would not have passed without my help. right now, i am working on a bipartisan package of bills to facilitate new uses for abandoned properties. there are nearly 70,000 in detroit, the face of michigan to the outside

we wrote that in response to that attack, in all likelihood, senator mccain and senator lieberman introduced a bill in the senate that would codify the government's power to detain suspects indefinitely without charge. and then senator graham, someone i respect a great deal, began to draft legislation in support of something very similar. all of these pieces of legislation are still spending -- pending. i think that summer in the drafting stage. we contended that those arguing for new laws such as these misunderstand fundamentally both the limits of the legislative function and the nature of the judicial process. determining whether prisoners detention is unlawful has always been a judicial function. some reflection should provide insight into why that is so and why it should be so. a wide range of conduct that we subject a person to lawful detention cannot be reduced to a statute. take for instance, we wrote, the detainees alleged attendance at a training camp. what if you stayed only a day for a week and in that time, engage in no training at all and left voluntarily? what if he attended l

i just visited afghanistan with senator lieberman and graham, and we heard this concern everywhere we went. our afghan friends are worried that we will leave, and the taliban will cut their heads off, and as long as they believe that, they will hedge their bets on this mission, and that goes for pakistan as well. the wikileaks controversy has reopened charges that elements of the pakistani military around intelligence services are playing both sides of the fight in afghanistan, but this should not be surprising, especially when we are sounding an uncertain trumpet about our own commitment. general petraeus has said about afghanistan that, quote, we're in this to win, unquote, and i imine you feel the same way, general mattis. i appreciate that conviction, and i share it, but we need to hear it clearly and consistently from the highest levels of the administration. we need to hear that when winning a war is quote, vital national security interest as the president has rightly described the fight in afghanistan, you don't surge for one year and then begin leaving regardless of whether yo

janice lieberman is here with more on that. it doesn't sound good for us. >> the strategy is to get you a tokt now and not think about what you're buying. we see it on tv, online and at the malls. when it comes to closing the deal, no one does it better than the tv shopping networks. kw qvc, hsn and shop nbc rake in a whopping $10 billion each year. but how? we were giving a tour of home shopping network's studio in florida for an inside look at how the big sell works. >> this is the epicenter of buy now, act now at hsn. they have been doing it for 33 years where viewers just somehow feel compelled to get to their phones and charge away. now all the retailers are catching on. >> our customer loves to be the first. they also love something that's exclusive, something that no one else has. so we are actually giving them this opportunity and creating these experiences and then we're pulling those levers that really prompt them by saying "it's only available for a limited time." >> exclusive, limited. >> reporter: in other words, b
