Vote, what happens next? over the next few months, will we start seeing these mass demonstrations that are behind me right now that are largely peaceful turning much more violent and a little bit more militant to give you a thought of how that might go, we re heading just in the next 10 minutes to a checkpoint on the israeli-palestinian west bank border security barrier that were here. there s major clashes between palestinians and also israeli riot police. back to you guys. wow. leland, very volatile situation. thank you so much and west bank success story unlike gaza. any questions of whether palestinians should achieve statehood, they should play that flag burning right before they decide, especially when president obama has a decision whether to veto it. he s taking justice into his own hands. a man caught on tape shooting up a courthouse. then do we really need the tsa? congressman john micah says it s nothing but an $8 billion bureaucracy and it needs to go! but is there ....
Very relaxed and happy it was good. for a group that s together for a long time, they get along quite well. i just noticed eric is tieless again today. i m tieless. you have me confused. last week, i think you wore a tie, right? yeah, you know, i m keeping them on their toes. the ever changing eric sitting in for steve today. had i had a tie like brian s, i would have worn it. they said no more. let s talk about what s happening politically today. lot going on in new york city with united nations general assembly. the president, president obama will be speaking before them this morning. shortly thereafter, he s going to meet with the palestinian president, abuse and that was announced late yesterday. he s going to meet with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu so what s going to be accomplished here? look, the palestinians want statehood and they re probably going to get the votes from the u.n. will the u.s. have to veto that? what will that look like acro ....
This. i think nigeria is one and the word is france is up in the air. i think there s a few of them out there and the president is saying can we put off this whole vote? and that is the delay of game is also something you re interested in or they can lobby for the so-called vatican status where you become a nation, observer but here s what i m disappointed in the president s address today. he s not going to address iran and nukes reportedly he s not going to address syria, assad butchering his own people and just mowing them down as they protest innocently in the streets. he s going to talk about what s changed in a year in the advent of the arab spring without talking about the dangers of the arab spring also brought into play. that s according to reports. that s a disappointment. and very interestingly, yesterday, rick perry made a speech. he got to the podium and he had, if you noticed, bob turner who won new york nine standing with him. basically saying, hey, mr. obama, anyone el ....
Leftist, dancing, their own palestini palestinian flag saying this is the independence we want. they feel the peaceful demonstration is the way to go about getting what they want. the thing that s very interesting, though, is you still have this huge underlying anger so while you have the celebration about a coming vote and the idea of getting statehood at the u.n., you have this underlying anger that exists over 60 years has been built up. there s still pictures of yasser arafat here. people dressing up as yasser arafat and there s a real fear among the israelis in the international community what happens after the vote and after that u.s. veto at the security council. i ll give you a sense here of how people feel about the united states. this is a poster that i picked up, you can take a look here at our position above the square, a u.s. fist drenched in blood as judging the palestinians and the israelis down there. that certainly gives you an idea of the sentiment. the fear is that a ....
Blame for this. lay out the situation for us. the palestinians want to get statehood. they re going to have a u.n. vote. the united states has said they ll veto that. what do you think is going to happen? well, what s going on is legally, palestinians are asking to be admitted to the u.n. the general assembly will approve that. the security council either by majority vote or by u.s. veto will disapprove it. what that will do is give the palestinians observer status in the general assembly. akin to the vatican which gives them a lot of privileges in the building, a lot of privileges in the organization and the right to appear and litigate before the international court of justice and the council of human rights. odd choices for a palestinian group. but the but it s a very important feather in their cap if they get it but it will fall short of actual admission. right. what s really going on, gretchen, is everybody knows that obama is going to lose the ....
