american. you see race and we identify with it. and quite frankly, the election of barack obama i think was one of the greatest political events i will ever see in my lifetime but the country has become more race conscious in terms of color, and in terms of ethnicity since he was elected. the national debate on race in light of the jury verdict in the trayvon martin case absolutely demonstrated it. our discussions about immigration refinancial and the place of hispanics in american culture absolutely non straight that when it comes to race, when it comes to ethnicity and people of color we have a long way to go. are black men lynched every day like they were in 1963 -- in the 1960's and 1950s? no. is alabama still bomb nothing no. so many of us, myself included, still beef in america's promise but we've got a promise. >> are you a gentleman may can american -- jamaican american? >> i consider myself an african- american. >> i'm an irish american. >> john you're confusing. >> german irish americ

already not just in energy but in many other sectors of the global economy where americans are investing in russia making a lot of money and expanding their operations this is a completely different world in the geo political world that we read about and business is focusing on making money but whether we look at the trade between the two countries and last year it was just under forty billion dollars it's not so impressive and if you compare that to the trade with china for example which was more than ten times larger. you know it could be argued that one of the reasons for so much geo political bickering that we've seen over the past year or so is simply because the two countries don't have that much to lose. very profound point the better the trade relations and the more commerce the risk between each country the more they have to lose if they get into geo political spats and that's why i believe the u.s. administration is its strategy is to focus on trade and investment because quite frankly i'm a i'm not a government person not speaking for the government but russia is russia the us

petition over his major points of his ideology to kick the american american troops out of saudi arabia he did not talk actually more . but afterward he stopped to say that you know his ideology is to fight to the jews and then later you know when a man of the second in command joined al qaeda and he becomes very. strong. ideological theorist car that he said i'll carry there should aim for. a caliphate to revive the islamic caliphate all over the muslim world so you know this kind of ideology. wasn't fixed from that day one of osama bin laden launching a car that but the gradually it's still the finally which is to revive. a muslim caliphate to establish states most of the. country is almost of the muslim countries not if not all of them so when we talk about ideology it is different it is not actually as it used to be staff and i think it's important to keep in mind that this resistance to american military imperialism the american intervention is still. a core part of the al qaeda ideology and when you look at that from that perspective i mean. it in this sense would have many sympat

they're looking at african-american males. and as professor nogueira said, they have very specific needs. and so how this is working is looking at them as individuals, looking at the issues that they face as african-american males in oakland. the fear that teachers have of them or shop owners have of them or as president obama said, the doors that lock as they walk by. that's a very different life that they lead than, say, a latina female. her issues that land her at the bottom of the achievement gap are very different. so looking at this, what they call targeted universalism, is trying to identify the needs of these kids. so it's jobs. it's confidence. it's mentors. it's role models. it's father of coursefigures. giving them those things that they need as african-american males is what the district is trying to do now and that is very different than the no child left behind approach of, okay, just throw money at everyone at the bottom of the achievement gap and see what happens. >> let me ask you about that. for people who lo

there's one other african-american senator in the united states senate, one african-american governor, deval patrick in massachusetts, african-american president, and attorney general. so much progress but still uneven when it comes to elected office. do you think that's how dr. king saw the dream playing out 50 years later? >> well, i think these positions are important, but i think the matter that drove the march, in which my mom was involved, what really drove the march was not simply propelling people to elected office. it was dealing with the larger issues of inequality, not only racial inequality but frankly the challenge we faced in our nation then and now on the dramatic differences between rich and poor and the challenges we had then in america and still have now with poverty. >> you know, it's interesting, john lewis just said it, al sharpton has said it, they always make a distinction when they say, look, the president's the president. what dr. king harnessed was the power of the grassroots, the power of people coming together saying, this is worth fighting for. this is wor

it's all african-american cast. the film maker is asian american. he decided to really to enhance the story to have african-americans in the film. >> kristen: let's listen to the film. >> are they singling you out. it's some kind of problem. ♪ >> you thinking about you. >> kristen: now, whether it's this particular story made by asian-american film makers, there are additional outlets to distribute this. tell me about those? >> a lot of asian-american media makers are looking to hollywood. they are looking at film test tifls and in a way it's a distribution. you can play your film because there is an asian-american festival there. 10 or 15 years ago gate keep where hers hollywood. you had to wait for hollywood. now you can do it online and social networks. >> kristen: so it's a lot better. thanks so much. we'll hear more from you. we need to take a short break. stay with us. waiter: here's your check. oh! you--you got it. you know, since i got rid of my car, i really enjoy walking. ok. got it? no, i'm good. announcer: getting pulled over for buzze

fewer americans live in poverty overall but by comparison, african-americans and white americans, the proportions have not changed since 1963. and i believe that's what you are going to hear the president speaking about just now. >> ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states, barack obama. (cheers and applause) >> to the king family who have sacrificed and inspired so much, to president clinton, president carter, vice president biden, jill, fellow americans, five decades ago today americans came to this honored place to lay claim to a promise made at our founding. we hold these truths to be self-evident. that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. in 1963 almost 200 years after those words were set to paper, a full century after a great war was fought and emancipation proclaimed, that promise, those truths remained unmet. and so they came by the thousands, from every corner of our country. men and women, young and old, blacks who longed for freedom

aren't enough americans suffering? out of work, losing their homes, without having to lose their sons and daughters, too? what are we even doing in iraq and afghanistan? why are we spilling the blood of young american men and women in a part of the world where they burn us in effigy. why are we bringing americans home in coffins? for what? we want to bring democracy to parts of the world who hate us. who despise us, who want to kill us, people whose life mission is to murder as many innocent americans as possible. who are we to tell them what to do? why do we keep getting into these messes? and mr. president, you're no help. >> i say what i mean. and i mean what i say. >> no one believes you or your administration. whether it is talking about that despicable video from benghazi or we don't spy on americans, or the irs doesn't target political enemies. no one respects us, no one fears us. you even get bitch slapped by president putin after begging for five weeks after return nsa leaker edward snowden. what's that you sa

good point is that american foreign policy is an american culture is that mcdonald's is that disney i mean can you flesh it out a little bit with that it's a crime it's across that it's across the board i mean there is widespread appreciation for americans sense of protection of liberties for example the end. of the spying on america i mean but it's luck but it's it's all relative right i mean if you ask a question say just china or iran and or the united states how do you feel about they how how they protect liberties america people around the world still think americans are more likely to have their really read protected in the united states now you want to talk about the n.s.a. you want to talk about that kind of work that's a separate issue although i would tell you that at least in the united states when we've done surveys. people. are are more concerned about terrorism in the they are about the the n.s.a. listening in or looking at their e-mails but to go back to your per previous point . matter how you slice it and it really does depend on what questions you ask people tend to

as we report, average americans and american politicians are just as divided. >> president obama says he's weighing his options on syria. >> i have gotten options from our military, had extensive discussions with my national security team. >> but building a coalition of the willing is proving very challenging. >> the use of force without sanction from the u.n. security council is a crude violation of international law. >> political solution is the most important approach. >> it's not only internationally where the u.s. finds little consensus on how to respond, it's also at home. >> i don't think we have the authority either under our constitution or under international law to get involved in a civil war in syria. >> we don't need u.n. corroboration, but it would be nice to have it. >> four u.s. destroyers are on patrol in the mediterranean. the congressman wants the white house to get approval from congress before launching any strikes. >> this i guess not right. it's not a democratic issue or republican issue. >> the military intervention in syria would face resistance from the ameri

government to be spying on americans. the general attitude seems to be i don't have anything to hide, so it's okay. so, what's wrong with the government having all of this information? and if they don't need it, how would we stay safe in the absence of such when there are all these threats about us. hal dewey safeguard against domestic threats while also retaining our essentials freedoms? and anthony, why don't we start with you on that one? >> i think it is a mistake to look at this as a balancing issue because we know how the state always wants to tip the scale. every state has its own tendency towards totalitarianism because it is a monopoly on legal force and a free state in the world is constrained mostly by just a lack of resources and by what the people will put up with. so, looking at it as a balance is dangerous. i think it's also important to have a perspective about the threat. the boston bombing was terrific. it was an act of mass murder. a serial murder and mass maiming and condemn to the but if there were te

american defenses were low. it took the korean war to create all the policy that we now see or associate with the cold war, that is the permanent army, huge defense budget. the perception of the block. and the idea that any communist victory anywhere is somehow a threat to american national security. all of that came about because of the korean war. also because the korean war, there was cool age between the government and defense industry. so sort of the birth of the military industrial complex that eisenhower leader warns the nation against; right. beware of the military industrial in 1961. i think for china the effect of the korean war was also extremely profound. it was during the korean war, it was to remember that at first china fought the world's greatest super power to a stand still nap created huge press teeing for mao. the end of the century of humiliation. it was also during the korean war you start to see the mass mobilization campaign that becomes familiar leader on in the culture revolution. the th

as chris rightly points out, the concern of joblessness, not just for african-americans but americans in general, still stands very high. when you look at it as chris pointed out, the speech of dr. king, the constitution, the emancipation proclamation, the good bible pointed out many reference points for dr. king. there s i feel, today, an opportunity to balance both the emotion and the reality of what happened. when you hear, for example, the story over and over that the remarks of "i have a dream" were ad libbed and the idea that they stood up there and said, tell them about the dream. we can talk politics, and there's a time and place for everything. the time and place, i believe, today is for both of those things. >> well, i guess that's right. this is a day to be aspirational. this is a day to think big and to speak big about big ideas and the big moment. 50 years later an african-american stands in the same spot on the steps of the lincoln memorial as an embodiment, an incarnation, in many ways, of dr. king's dream. i think chris is right in the sense that this is a somewhat dif

a lot of americans are stunned by that. libya in northern africa, the africa command which was created for these kind of crises, is still based in germany. so part of this is a long-term problem. then you get to benghazi and this is the greatest crime of benghazi. they had weeks and weeks and months of warnings. the pentagon says it was never asked, but the fact that the state department, the cia and pentagon didn't get together saying we need to have marines floating off of libya, that was the greatest crime. they had no fire department anywhere close. >> john, thank you very much. of course, greater than the crime may be the coverup. up next, was it a coverup by the obama administration? and will anyone ever be brought to justice? >> it might not be tomorrow or this year, but i do think at some point in time the individuals responsible are going to be found and there will be justice. and choose from one of five lexus hybrids that's right for you, including the lexus es and ct hybrids. ♪ this is the pursuit of perfection

you are an american citizen. we have rights! outgoing congresswoman michele bachmann from the great state of minnesota. she is making the case that repealing obamacare is the christian thing to do. >> let's repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens. let's not do that. let's love people as people of faith, i am a born again believer in jesus christ. and i believe that as part of my duty as a believer in christ and what he has done for me. that we should do for the least of those who are in our midst. that's my personal belief and my personal conviction. >> she says that obamacare is going to kill people bachmannball has used her faith to advance her celebrity more than anybody else in congress. the fact is that bachmann is now using religion to try to steal health care from 30 million americans. it is downright despicable. it is disingenuous and she is a liar. obamacare will not kill anyone as a christian, michele bachmann should be ashame of herself. meanwhile the christian moveme

not as much for the japanese americans or asian americans, but for all groups, that one was much more of a civil rights march. we're happy to participate. because marching for jobs and freedom is not an issue for asian americans or black americans, it's for all groups. it's a human rights issue we were marching for then and now. >> todd thank you very much for joining us live from the washington mall today. hope to see you again in another 50 years. >>> we want to go back to washington for another live look at the events taking place on the mall. the bell you see in the middle there will be rung at 3:00 this afternoon. that is the exact moment when dr. king delivered his famous speech. we will continue our coverage of the 50th anniversary of dr. king's famous "i have a dream" speech. later on today, we invite you to join us at 2:00 for our very special coverage. al jazeera continues. >> i have a dream.

that's what the american people expect, and that's what the american people deserve. that's exactly what we did in new hampshire when my constituents raised concerns with the impact that new regulations would have on our small state's family and/or beganic farm. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady will suspend. ms. kuster: thank you. as we speak the food and drug administration is trying to improve the safety of our food supply, a goal that we can all support. but the f.d.a. needs to work with congress to ensure that these rules do not burden farmers with the one-size-fits-all mandate that does not make sense for new england farms. that's why i led 20 senators and representatives, both republicans and democrats, in pushing the f.d.a. to work with farmers and find common ground. because of our efforts, the agency will soon be holding a forum in new hampshire to hear from local farmers about the way to improve these rules. that is the right approach. bring people together from both parties to thoughtfully solve problems, not thoughtlessly obstructing reforms across

to fight the american and also before that in afghanistan to fight the american occupation so the american nuclear peaches of middle eastern countries there this more to dismantle to change actually played to the hand over al qaeda absolutely i think it could be used as a very successful record mental but what i think is important to stress here as well is that we usually make a distinction between state and non-state violence for political and i think it is really wrong because there is nothing inherently more evil about sounding do you jasim to want traits out there than for example sandy hundreds of jobs to baghdad i mean it's still violence in the case of state violence the death toll is much higher yes there are i believe any kind of division in iraq is a kind of terrorism simply because it was based on lies and when the american killed around. people there we have about four million orphans because of this in the vision this is also a terrorism to invade other people country to bomb but that we have seen i think this is this is what has them so we cannot we cannot compare the america

the life of the american people. should it become involved in of a people's quarrels in attempts to rectify the hills of the whole world, it would only result in making americans themselves worse off, less free, less prosperous, and more reaction from abroad to the actions it might initiate. and yet through a series of occasions the government has again and again and again abandoned that classical stand. george washington and county of thomas jefferson, their involvement and alliances in other people's quarrels. one can say that this is ben 100 percent failure. try to get it across. the effect on liberty on the american people is an inverse. highly negative. every time the united states said out to involve itself unnecessarily, it was almost always been -- unnecessarily. they could have refrained from involvement. the ultimate results for the american people was a loss of liberty. in must use power to make those changes. the government must get the resources. the reservoir, the ordinary people, the working people, th

in 1939, one american in six was unemployed. by 1942, we were fighting a great war and living better than we had in years. how did we increase production of both guns and butter during world war ii? in 1978, a troubled textile industry was told to spend $2 billion combating brown-lung disease. by 1980, the supreme court was asked to choose between saving lives or jobs and profits. how much is a life worth? wilderness or minerals? guns or butter? jobs or safety? we always face choices. resources and scarcity. what's economics all about? with the help of economic analyst richard gill, we'll examine that question on economics usa. i'm david schoumacher. what's economics all about? there have always been theoretical answers to that question, but reality complicates the most elegant theories. economics usa is about theory and reality in 20th-century america, and how people and events have shaped economic decisions that affect our lives. those decisions usually involve tradeoffs. in 1980, congress designated over 100 million acres of

american. have nothing to do in afghanistan. they should leave afghanistan the way they lived. and this case that nobody will attack them i don't believe the taliban actually are posing to the american mainland the taliban never said we are going to bomb the new york or to bomb washington or san francisco so i think of that american would like to put an end to the war against terrorism and they should pull out their troops from afghanistan that we did in iraq and leave the middle east alone and you mentioned the air the issue of drones and of course then mr obama talked at length about his years of drones and he promised to scale down on that application but it's not just about drones says and if for example if we take the issue of libya or syria you know drones for years there. the death toll and the. consequences of america's intervention are very dramatic and more specifically on syria what do you think was america's role do you think a bomber was too quick or to slow to intervene when i'm o

the phone calls of americans. collects relations have come to light recently that there were times when the line was crossed. that demonstrates that those mechanisms were in place and the court ruling that that program was unconstitutional in 2011 and setting it aside and ending it was another example of how the process works. we have to continue to focus on striking that balance. >> missile controversy seems to have done something that a lot of people were not thought possible. that is forging a common ground between the libertarians and the liberal side of the democratic party. you get a sense that this is going to be the kind of the finding issue going forward that may be, say, the iraq war was? >> i do not have a sense that this will be a defining issue in that way. as is particularly because unlike the iraq war, where president bush was in office and very affirmatively differed with the democratic base and with face of the entire country where most americans felt that with the wrong war at the wrong time for

not just for african-americans but for women and latinos, asians and native americans, for catholics, jews and muslims, for gays, for americans with disabilities. america changed for you and for me and the entire world drew strength from that example. whether it be young people who watched from the other side of an iron curtain and would eventually tear down that wall, or the young people inside south africa who would eventually end the scourge of apartheid. those are the victories they won. with iron wills and hope in their hearts, that is the transformation that they wrought. with each step of their well-worn shoes, that's the debt that i and managillions of amers owe those maids, those laborer, those porters, those secretaries, folks who could have run a company, maybe, if they'd ever had a chance. those white students who put themselves in harm's way even though they didn't have to. those japanese-americans who were called their own internment. those jewish americans who had survived the holocaust. people who could have given up indian given in but kept on keeping on, knowing that

he's an american by birth, his mother was american. i don't care if you're flying in an airplane over toledo or toledo's somewhere in spain. if you're born to an american mother, you're an american, and honestly, you don't have to get naturalized. that's what a natural born american means. you don't have to apply for citizenship. you are a citizen. natural born. don't the crazy birthers in that state of texas, which you have to report from, the cross you must carry, defending some of these guys. all that handful of birthers down there, which is the heart of them, don't they get the irony that accusing obama of being born in kenya, which wasn't the truth, would still make him a natural born american? >> yeah, the real problem for the birthers is that ted cruz really was born in a foreign country and so based on that argument, it really is a real, you know, a real problem. >> don't they get in their head, oh, we've been accusing obama of what this guy did, and we've accused obama by nature of being born in this fictitious notion of being

then we have let the nsa redefine who we are americans. that is not acceptable. >> john: there is an interesting split in the debate here. one side no big deal and other side people like congressman kucinich. >> i didn't think anyone is say nothing big deal. >> congressman king said no big deal. >> everybody agrees that privacy rights are important and that this is a good debate to be had. >> but if a soft ware mistake scoops up the phone records of 3,000 people in washington, d.c. >> and if nothing happens from that. >> that's something to be concerned about. >> what evidence is there of any abuse? john, 1 purex% as far as we know, 100% of the mistakes were inadvertent. these are the mistakes, correct as many as possible. it's not the government intentionally out there recording our conversations. >> i just really resist when the term scandal and agency gone rogue is applied to this. this is a program the bones of this program are needed. i think, and we need to make sure that there is oversight of that program. so it's not. >> quick last

there was the american women's volunteer service the awacs. there were chapters across the country and in 1942 the los angeles chapter sponsored a boxing match between juan sarita and titleholder henry burt kaine armstrong. they raised over $4000 for their cause. the women's ambulance defense corps of america that w. dcaa was another one. they had 54 chapters across the country that included motorcycle and helper units. they were military trained and they knew jujitsu. they are known as the glory gals and they -- their motto was the hell we can't. the red cross offered opportunities for civilians to volunteer for the war effort. the group organized blood drives and trained nurse aides and grande clubs where members of the armed forces could relax and socialize both in the united states and oversees. african-american women served oversees with the red cross around the globe. helen dickson kaine caused a sensation when she reported for duty along the al kam highway in march 1943. hazel was an assistant director of the red cross club assistant ec

not a single american airplane got into the war, not a subject american tank got into the war. our hand grenades and ammunition and so forth we brought from the british. but we had at that point what by 1918 was the largest armaments industry in the world. almost immediately after the armistice and the end of the war, the government started canceling contracts. and when i say canceling, i mean just like this. without warning they pulled them, factories were left literally with production lines half full. thousands of workers let go without warning. in a state like connecticut really felt this because it had so many of these kinds of plants. and companies were left with buildings, factories, plants they had built to produce armaments. well, they said, you have to do something for us. what are we going to do with these buildings and the machinery and soing forth? at the very least give us a tax credit so we can carry these in case they're needed again. the government wouldn't do it. the result was that in almost every case, these companies-everybody from rem remington arms to you

what will premiums look like for millions of americans? taxpayersill american pay? what will ensure they are protected? permanent transition to a part-time economy. the health care law has been a mess for job creators from top to bottom. hhs really ready? the recent decision to delay the employer mandate makes us wonder if hhs is planning other delays or changes to the law as well. the decision raises questions about the ability to implement the law and the authority to rewrite it. public's anxiety is real, and it is escalating every day, especially as they are left behind to and/or rate shock while businesses are shielded from penalties. -- two indoor rate shock while businesses are shielded from penalties. the promises have become woefully short. this committee has conducted sinceg investigation january of 2011. have dozens of hearings to ensure the american public has the information they need. it is time for the administration to keep its promises of transparency. i appreciate you being here today. our constituents are seeking real information. i yield back. >>

it was rooted in american dream. we'll have more on that with you in a few minutes. >>> coming up, two rising stars in their respective parties, democratic mayor of newark, new jersey, cory booker, and republican governor of louisiana bobby jindal. what the american dream means to a new generation of politicians. >>> and later, we'll have the latest on the developing situation in syria. new developments this morning. we've got it covered. the secret is out. hydration is in.

he was taken to an american military base in italy, then to an american military base in germany, and then he was flown by learjet to cairo. where he said he was horribly tortured for a long time. egypt decided not to charge him with anything, and they released him a few years later and lose a free man. in 2007, four years after he disappeared off the street in milan, the italian authorities issued an arrest warrant for two dozen other americans that they said were involved in the kidnapping. the warrant cited kidnapping, seizing a terrorist suspect without a warrant. transferring the person to another country, often one known to employ torture. the cia had grabbed him as part of the u.s. extraordinary rendition program, which was policy in the bush years and arguably maybe still in the obama years. people suspected of terrorism grabbed in one country and not taken back to the u.s., but instead brought to some third country for questioning. and torture or whatever. it was definitely policy in the bush years, set in washington. but it's not like these washington policy makers were trav

innovative techniques to american companies and american companies are doing the same thing so you can't look at russia just as stability there's a serious drive on innovation here that i think is taking hold that you just mentioned the small project and innovation and those were considered bad projects of pay here previous president michel medvedev and of what what he wasn't in office both the american political establishment and sound western commentators were a bit more positive on russia they even initiated the so-called relationship reset that some would argue is now barrett was put in is back in power and. what surprises me is that these two men always stressed that they have similar views that you know they have pretty much the same team working for them but the reception all of them in the west was was different and i wonder why what is so different between them because they always trust the similarity and the common values that they share these two leaders have been partners it is a senior partner and a junior partner they're working well together they have different constituenc

i irish american. i didn't know what a pure american was. none of my friends were pure americans. a lot of my friends were lebanese and from syria. i had yewish and irish american friends. all of our identities were mixed. my sense of being american was being in a mix of things. >> margaret could you also reflect in a prior conversation you talked about your father had a sense of where he came from and it was a little more difficult for your mom to articulate that? >> sure. mother's side is irish american my father come from a different heritage. he is a genealogy. he traced his family all the way back to the times when they moved from spain to a region of france. that's where his family came from as peasants in 1850. and for generations, his family members had been going back to this place to visit their distant cousins. they knew exactly where it was. i was thinking that was a year after my irish american family came here. why don't my irish american family know this information. i want to try to find out what it is. i didn't know at that time what i was undertaking. i heard it

good point is that american foreign policy is an american culture is that mcdonald's is that disney i mean can you flesh it out a little bit with that it's a crime it's across that it's across the board i mean there is widespread appreciation for americans sense of protection of liberties for example the end. of the spying on america i mean but it's luck but it's it's all relative right i mean if you ask a question say just china or iran and or the united states how do you feel about they how how they protect liberties america people around the world still think americans are more likely to have their really read protected in the united states now you want to talk about the n.s.a. you want to talk about that kind of work that's a separate issue although i would tell you that at least in the united states when we've done surveys. people. are more concerned about terrorism than they are the the the n.s.a. listening in or looking at their e-mails but to go back to your per previous point to matter how you slice it and it really does depend on what questions you ask people tend to like am
