The trust of the people and that there is no abuse. Obama were reviewing our intelligence technologies. Im asking this independent group to step back and review our capabilities, particularly our surveillance technologies. Michael well yesterday baracpresident obama revealed te person in charge of this review panel will be James Clapper, the very person in charge of the nsa spying practices, the same practices that the panel is investigating. To make matters worse he lied about to congress in march. What i wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question. Does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans. No, sir. It does not . Not wittingly. Michael when accused of lying when the nsa was, in fact, spying on americans, he said this on msnbc. I responded in what i thought was the most truthful or least untruthful manner by saying no. Michael that quote has a special place in the war rooms parsed words and double speak.
With killing three people at two Jewish Community sites in kansas. He served three years in prison on weapons charges and plotting the murder of the thousand founder of the southern poverty center. We will speak with mark potok as well as a broadcaster interviewed miller. Then banning the program of spying on muslims. Whats not only were they acting as clients is a organizations, they were actually would have someone who would be the deciding figure on my board to have access to donors and information and financial information. I think we keep learning the program is just more outrageous. It creates psychological warfare. And deadly environment. Nearly 1000 karmiel activist and land defenders have been killed in the last decade. The death rate has risen in recent years to an average of two activist a week. Among the dead, a brazilian conservationist who campaigned against clearcutting trees in the amazon rain forest. That is when the logging industry started to arrive. And that is when
Welcome, everybody, president obama is trying to rally support for his plan for military strikes in a moment. Chuck hagel and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff will testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It is the first formal step in a debate that could come to congress as early as next week. Earlier this morning the president held meetings with top leaders including john boehner. The key point that i want to emphasize to the American People, the military plan developed by our joint chiefs and that i believe is appropriate is proportional, it is limited, it does not involve boots on the ground. This is not iraq, this is not afghanistan. This is limited proportional step that will send a clear message not only to the assad regime, but also to other countries that may be interested in testing some of these International Norms that there are consequences. It gives us the ability to degrade assads ape abilities when it comes to chemical weapons, and it also fits in
Became the newest member of the billionaire newspaper owners club when he scooped up the Washington Post for a cool quarter billion dollars. He joins a growing list which includes among others. And so who cares . Newspapers are dying anyway, right . Not so fast, a 2009 report showed that not only do 75 of adults still read newspapers, but local and online news overwhelmingly originates from traditional papers like the Washington Post. So most americans newspaper still originates there. The idea that newspapers have been marginalized and replaced by the internet is a total fallacy. They have the kind of power that Charles Foster cane dreamed of. People will think what i tell them to think. David and alex wrote today. Jeff bezos is a man who can afford that kind of influence. The Purchase Price of a quarter billion dollars is less than 1 of his 28 billion net worth. So is he just bored, a rich guy buying a new toy . His company is definitely politically engaged. Under his leadership, ama
Rules unless the republicans accepted the come knees. What do you know, it worked. They greeded agreed to the nominees. Then theres the long suffering nominee, Richard Cordray. Its been two years since the president chose him to lead the National Consumer Protection Bureau. Perhaps the republicans most hated agency, and he was finally confirmed as director today. The democrats can thank senator john mccain. He played a crucial role in the negotiations. Mr. President after a required amount of debate were going to move forward with the cordray nomination, which has been held up for some period of time. I would like to thank everybody on both sides of the aisle who have engaged in this debate and discussion. Michael what about thanking corecordray himself, who has had to put up with this foolishness. Harry reid was as effusive as harry reid can be in his praise of john mccain. Im going to tell one person and no one else how much i appreciate their advocacy here. Their persuasiveness, per
