I think they should have more powers to be able to monitor these people, especially where data has been encrypted on mobile phones. It is a new world we live in. Why in your manifesto do you say, picking up on that point, that he would Rollback State Surveillance Powers . It is not that you dont want new powers, you want fewer . We are talking about the Snoopers Charter, data surveillance, however you want to describe it. This is the issue, when we are trying to deal with terrorists and suspected terrorists, we need to be able to focus on what they do and who they talk to. What we have at the moment, if you like, is an ever widening haystack and we are looking for a needle. The answer is not to put more hay into the haystack. It is to put more magnets around the haystack so we can find what is in there in the first place. So you dont want those powers, you want them rolled back . There are two things, i have a practical concern and a principled concern. The practical concern is this, o
want a bill with teeth in it. the republicans like to throw all the hispanics out of the country who are here illegally. so you never really have a deal. do you see a deal here? i don t see signs of a deal, democrats are reluctant to want to put forth any kind of enforcement that s going to result in more deportations. they have already seen more deportations, some 400,000 mexican americans i understand and that s one of the reasons why president obama is being pressured by the hispanic community to do something. i m sorry, clarence, you re missing my point, if people can sign up to stay here legally, you won t have deportations, you say to people, you can t say here illegally, but if you want to say here legally, you have to have citizenship. i thought it was very clear, what part of no don t you understand? you said there s going to be
answer hide question. let me ask you, the odds right now are what in this case race? is this going to be a big headline when you win or what? well, since we are the underdogs coming into this, again, i have been outspent by two multimillionaires. my republicans net worth is upwards to 60 to $160 million. my other opponent, tea party candidate worth $18 to $20 million. as you mentioned, i m a public servant. why don t you raise taxes on these people? pardon me? why don t you raise taxes on these zillionaires you run against u said you won t raise taxes on them. why not? no, no accident say that. i said i would not put the burden on the middle class and small businesses. i have no trouble with making the wealthiest people in this country pay their fair share. over 1 million then? i would say i m looking at over 500,000 i think that s fair. i nailed you down. thank you so much, good luck in the race. kathy hochul running for congress in the jack kemp district. when we r
i don t really think about him anymore. what kind of talk is that? it s very hard to listen to that, it s very hard to listen to that chuckle. but i think what we should talk about an interesting thing and michael can fill in blanks here i m sure. but one of the things that s come out in the last week or so are the opportunities that we may have had, maybe not slam dunks to get closer to bin laden that didn t happen because we were already deploying troops and equipment to iraq. so if you listen to that with a certain kind of hindsight and you listen to that remembering that they were making the case they decided it was bigger than bin laden, you know, they were going to blame the whole thing on iraq and lie about it. oh, yes, you re always ahead of me. you are this time. in other words don t make it about we were attacked in 9/11, don t make it about afghanistan,
don t make it about al qaeda, make it about your topic which is they got to go in and get even for the old man or whatever the topic was. to shift the mastermind and the bad guy to saddam hussein in iraq. so the more reporting about that comes out the more enlightening it is. he said we re going to get the people that knocked down these buildings, in his grandest iconic moment, when we all were behind him, president bush said we re going goat the people that knocked down these building and now he s saying we re not going to get the people that knocked down his buildings. how can he say we re not going to do what i swore we were going to do an ground zero? joan is exactly right. that comment that you just played you re right too. look, that comment was march of 2002, exactly the moment when we now know that they had begun serious planning for the war in
