united states and union. as the war progressed, it became more brutal and there was much more pressure in the united states to take a different stance toward what was happening and focus on the human rights issue and the way they were conducting themselves there. we had the incident where the man who was the number two in al qaeda was trying to get the russia earlier on and the russians picked him up and held him but they didn't have enough evidence about him and i don't think they consulted the united states about this so they let him go. he went back to afghanistan and we know what happened on 9-11. putin was warning the united states about these dangers and they took take them seriously about. and they understood them. the issue has been that the united states has been reluctant to classify many of the fund fundalmentlist people. the counter terrorism cooperation worked. and president bush endorsed the russian view. there was a second war there that happened after putin became prime minister. but for a short period, we were working together and russia give us information that enabled the nato effort to suc

given the fact the true rising power was the united states and that was visible at that time, could the united states or any other route a party play a role in stopping this war had they wished to do so, had they had the disposition quite >> this is to go back to the first power. it is managed very well. they scared each other because they came to war with venezuela and they backed out and came to an unders ending. it's a successful understanding of how changes in the balancing of international relations can be managed. i don't think the united states can stop the war. to begin with, the united states felt it had no interest in that. the atlantic was deciding on the europeans wanted to go crazy, let them. united states had less. so at the time the united states was arrested power, but not the power is going to come. this trend achiness can dribble a growing economic power into economic power. i was still pretty new. the army was very small. the american army at this stage is smaller power. united states didn't have the capacity at this stage to intervene and certainly didn't have the wi

burr was capable and intelligent quickly rose through the political ranks in new york. became the united states senator and it was a short step to becoming a vice presidential candidate in 1876. why was he considered a dark and compelling figure. >> he's a mystery. he kept his views to himself. he was thought of being a great political intriguer. he was not hot-headed. he was very calm, a bit aloof. had a great deal of personal magnitude. one or two people considered the possibility that he's is a sociopath. he's very good at manipulating people and moving himself in to positions of political power. in the end, he apparently alienated everyone. he alienated the federalist political party, the republican political party, most of the leagd political factions in his state of new york. in the end guns down an -- friend and professional alexander hamilton. while he was the sitting vice president. and from there moved on to these adventure in the southwest and accused of treason against his own country. >> why did he get in to a dual with hamilton? >> got a dual with hamilton in the summer of 1804 du

so many areas of the world where the united states was addressing an environment that was unstable had to do with a majority of muslim countries. in congress, a plot to attack the united states was hatched in afghanistan. we were in the midst of war in eve iraq, which i opposed. so i think those made it different. someone said, keith it is like if a japanese person ran for congress a few years after pearl harb harbor. you might imagine people wouldn't see you as the person, but as a member of the group. i think that is why people got excited, afraid and even abusive at some points. >> you mention your involvement with the million marathon march. you are cril critical of faircon and the nation of israel. tell us why. >> we should never take any credit away from anything. but i guess i was looking for a greater mount of direction and involvement after the march. if you had two million men on the mall, you had many, many more millions of people, african-americans and others perhaps ready for action right after that. there were policy prescriptions and individuals who participated did carr

putin was entrusted in a better relationsrelations hip with the united states and closer integration ith the west as he understood it. obviously after 9/11 he was the first person to call to offer condolences but also to offer support in helping the united states then establish its bases in central asia. i think from president putin's point of view the desire was to have as one of my russian colleagues call it an e. whole partnership of an equals another worst of the strategic partnership with united states and in the beginning to push a administration was favorably inclined to that. the personal relationships seem to be better and certainly the cooperation in the fall of 2001 in the war in afghanistan. russia was incheon mental and helping the united states in a variety of ways because it knew much more about afghanistan than the u.s. did. that began to fall apart when president bush and particularly vice president cheney embrace the freedom agenda the belief that the u.s. should go around actively promoting democracy and particularly in russia's backyard the ukraine and georgia and

was he planning to sunder the western part of the union from the rest of the united states? washe planning to march on washington and proclaim himself the new president? or was he planning simply to settle lands in louisiana? he told many different people variations on all of these stories. they couldn't all be true, and, obviously, those stories were designed to manipulate people. and a lot of them believe him. >> when he was charged with treason, what was a treasonous act he committed? >> he was charged with treason, not conspiracy to commit treason but in the end he was acquitted in the trial of the century. the problem is yet told so many stories and so many different groups on the frontier were involved in so many different things. it was very hard for president jefferson and his prosecutors actually define anything that burr had actually done. the act that the prosecutors finally settled on took place on an island which was on the ohio river in the current a state of west virginia it back then it would have been virginia. a man and his wife were wealthy irish settlers who

it was very contentious between two countries in particular the united states and great britain the united states was very conscious of the fact that britain was going bankrupt during world war two and was intent on using this as an opportunity to ensure that in the post-war era great britain did not once again reemerge as a political and economic rival to the united states bretton woods among other things sought to establish the u.s. dollar as the unrivaled global currency the global unit of account the global unit for trade now why didn't we go back to a strict gold standard after bretton woods. there wasn't really any support for it . and the united states had no intention of binding itself to this old implicit rules of the classical gold exchange standard they wanted complete freedom to monitor. operate their currency as they saw fit the only thing they were willing to do was make the pledge that they would keep the value of the u.s. dollar fix to gold in exchange rate of thirty five dollars an ounce this is a. pledge they were forced to read neg on in one thousand nine hundred ninety

on tuesday, the state department spokesperson said the united states was expelling three venezuelan diplomats in response to the earlier expulsion of three u.s. officials. >> the state department has declared three officials from the venezuelan embassy in as well have.c. been allowed 48 hours to leave the united states. the convention permits the united states to declare any member of a diplomatic ocean persona non grata at any time without the necessity to state a reason. >> ukraine's acting government has disbanded its riot police and is set to unveil a new cabinet today as ousted president asiana code which remains in hiding with a warrant out for his arrest. he faced months of protests for strengthening ties with russia instead of europe all stopped on tuesday, the russian foreign minister lavrov said ukraine should not be forced to choose sides. it is dangerous and counterproductive to try to force upon ukraine a choice on the principle you're either with us or against us. we're interested in ukraine being part of a common european family in all senses of this word. but in the united sta

this case and secrecy conflicted with oath to defend and support the constitution of the united states, and was superseding authority there with a responsibility to inform the public because as he said, he could see nobody else would do it. he saw the head of the nsa but also the director of the intelligence -- national intelligence who was quoted lied to congress, and what he is mostly revealed in particular is not that mr. oathper was violating his in the sense of trying to deceive congress, but that he knew that the false statements that they were not collecting data on millions of americans

where the role of the united states was addressing a tumultuous and firebrat had to do with the majority was muslim. oh the few years before that the plot to attack united states was hatched in afghanistan rewritten the middle of the war in iraq which i opposed by the way. those things made the congressional items. somebody said it is like the japanese person to run for congress just after pearl harbor you could imagine they would see the person but just a member of a group but i think that is why people got excited and afraid period even abusive at some point. >> host: manchin day the million man march the organizers were of the list verified you are very critical of both have a and the nation of islam. tell us why. >> because people who come out of prison or drugs who are benefited by tradition. i've got to be acknowledged that is a true fact we should not taken the credit away but i was really looking for greater direction in and involvement after the march. after the march if you had 2 million men on the of all you had many more better perhaps ready for action right after that. but w

united states, trying to save the union. and then as the war progressed, it became more brutal, there was much more pressure in the united states to take a different stance on what was happening in chechnya and focus on human rights issues and the way that the russian army was conducting itself in chechnya. now, you are quite right and we also had the incident where the man who then became the number two in al qaeda, possibly, he and some others were in dagestan trying to get to chechnya earlier on. and the russians picked them up and they held them but then they didn't have enough evidence about him that i don't think they consulted the u.s. about this and so they let him go. he then went back to afghanistan and we know what happened on 9/11. that putin was warning the united states about these dangers and the united states didn't take them scarcely enough. and, obviously, from the russian perspective they understood this because of russia's own problem in the problems in the north caucasus. the issue again has to be that the united states has been reluctant to classify many of these fundamentalist terrorists in chechnya in th

but in the summer of 2000 and i was at a conference with a who's who of experts in the united states. of course what to do in afghanistan in 2010 was an issue of major concern in the united states and invariably the discussion evolves what had happened during the search. and not one of them had a holistic understanding of the iraq war and research. and so the liberation of the philippines in 19441945 is going to be the subject of my next book and we are writing about people and they are going to disagree with what we have to say about this. and i decided to write this book and this is three years in the making now. and i understood where the forces were part of the office urges ongoing with an eye towards history, eventually. and i'm indebted to the folks there in both of those places and declassified summary of the documents that i used to write this history and it would not have been possible and it would not have been possible without their assistance in so the bush administration made some assumptions that it would be a war of liberation is the iraqi people would support it taking

there was a leak of the environment chapter that was fairly recent and it is true that the united states washing for stronger standards. every other country line upped against the u.s., and the text of the agreement was going more towards the other country's positions, and while the u.s. claims to continue to push for that, that is not going to be a done deal in the tpp negotiation, while there is a chapter on the environment, the u.s. will push a chapter allowing them to attack environmental laws. we have seen this happen. to expand the system where foreign investors can attack local state or national laws that they believe affect their future profits, even if that is an environmental standard and demand billions in compensation, not through our court but through an extra jurisdictional tribunal, where judges decide whether a company should get billions of taxpayer dollars. >> let me jump in. one thing we need to be clear about. it's great that people are paying attention to the tpp. it's important. the tpp is not all that dramatically new from anything that's gone on in the past. all you n

the only messaging service in the united states was facebook was popular in the united states was facebookoutside the united states facebook didn't have a hold in messaging at all. china has we chat. other areas of the world whats app. the fastest growing mobile application in history. 450 million users, when facebook buys this, it sort of completes zuckerberg's vision for trying to connect everyone in the world to internet. and 450 million users in facebook's back pocket makes that instagram deal a year ago look like a steal for a billion dollars. stuart: it's closing in on $70 a share, facebook. >> if you look at the valuation of it, i'm not the stock by, but look at twit ter twitter 256 mi users and look at whats app, i think they got it for a steal. charles: they have a straight up you pay for it. per year. the whats app they say took 33 billion in revenue away from the phone companies. in 2016 it will be 54 billion. a fraction of that to the bottom line for facebook justifies the price. stuart: what about this, robert scovel, the tech guy on this program, he says whats app is full of

the united states was second with 28 total.ockey gold medal, the last of 98 old medal events. >> i think it is still a shock. product oftely a their love and support. >> the ceremonies were the grand finale of a 17-day extravaganza -- of sports. a pageant depicting scenes from russian history, which now includes these games. the olympic flame was extinguished and passed over to south korea. with that, the athletes said goodbye to one another, sochi, and this olympic season. is a look at the total medal count. russia finished on top with a total of 33 medals, followed by the u.s. with 28. third was norway, followed by the canadians and the netherlands. the americans had 37 medals in vancouver. not as big a gold-medal count. >> a lot of folks out there enjoying a run, getting the bike out. those piles of snow quickly withering away. 48 degrees outside reagan national airport. the average for this date this time of year is 49 degrees. the average low is 32 degrees. is our long-standing record high back in 1874. , you can click thr

on that that was a leak of the environment chapter that was fairly recent, and it is true the united states washing for stronger standards. every other country was lining up against the u.s., and the actual text of the agreement was going more towards the other countries' position, and while the u.s. claims to continue to push for that, that is definitely not going to be a done deal in the tpp negotiations. and the u.s. is pushing an investment chapster that would privilege foreign investors and allow them to attack environmental laws, and ask for cash compensation in millions of billions of dollars, and we have seen this happen under nafta already. and now foreign investors can attack local, state, or national laws that they believe affect their future profits even if that is an environmental standard, and then demand billions of dollars in in compensation through ran extra judicial tribunal where three private sector lawyers decide whether a corporation should get billions of dollars for a policy that effects them. >> let me jump in here quickly. one thing we need to be clear about, it's grea

that means for the first time since 1936 the united states was shut out of medaling in men's and women's figure skating events. polina edmunds said she is still very proud of her performance. >> of course, janelle wang spoke to her. >>> she finished top ten in the world at the young age of 15. i caught up with the south bay teenager here in sochi to talk about her olympic debut. >> i'm feeling really great that i skated two great programs here at the olympics, and i'm just so happy that i came out in the long program and i had the highest difficulty with two triple triple combinations, two flips, and two lutz. i feel that i showed the judges that i can do everything. >> what's been the best part of the olympics so far beside performing? >> what i have been really enjoying is taking my family through the olympic village and seeing their reaction to everything, and it's just been fantastic. >> who are you really itching and dieing to meet and get a picture with. >> i was really hoping to meet joe pavelski here, and i did before my short program. and that was really exciting. so i'm really

of foreign policy national security, war and peace and so many areas of the world where the united states was addressing a tumultuous environment in countries where the majority was muslim. when i went to congress a few years before that, in a plot to attack the united states was hatched in afghanistan. we were in the midst of the war in iraq which i opposed by the way and so those things made the congressional thing with different. somebody said to me you know it's like a japanese person were to run for congress a few years after pearl harbor. you might imagine that some people wouldn't see the person for the person and just as a member of the group ended fact i think that's why some people got excited and afraid and even sort of abusive at some point. >> host: in your book you mention your involvement with the million man march in d.c.. >> guest: is a great march. >> host: one of the organizers of the event, you are critical of mr. farrakhan and the niche and of islam in the book. tell us why? >> guest: a lot of people who come out of prison or off of drugs would benefit by the nation so i

the united states was at war. ability to convert the american economy using the gnp information would be critical for our survival. our war program for the coming fiscal year will cost $56 billion or, in other words, more than half of the estimated annual national income. we shall produce 60,000 planes. we shall produce 45,000 tanks. we shall produce 55,000 anti-aircraft guns. we must convert every plant and tool to war production. when roosevelt led the country into world war ii, he depended heavily on the gnp framework to predict our military strength. the economy exploded during those four years. 17 million new jobs were created. the index of industrial production doubled. the gnp grew $75 billion. richard gill points out that estimates of gnp were helpful during the war. without knowing our real gnp, we could not have judged how much war production was possible. we needed to know how many goods would be left over for civilian consumption and what taxes the government would have to levy. look at our circular fl

soviet soviet general source were to say that and we knew was not true that we know it's not true no but what will gordon regarding the united states in the demonstrations in ukraine tauriel nuland showed up and handed out some cookies she was expressing support for the free right to demonstrate that's it but she is an official and her appearing on that square is is taken as a as an american position on that issue it's not about that she was expressing support for peaceful protest now contrast the american as. what the russian action a very important official in russia mr gloves you've told through the use of force to clear the square mr gotobed used force mr glaus it was encouraging was the only coach to murderers own citizens well ambassador i heard i heard you make that point before but mr glascock is there really well let's say in significant figure in the russian politics he doesn't hold a public office he's not even a member of parliament he's a former political with very little weight in russia's political circles but i'm back there have said we have to take a very short break now i hope it will come back to this discussion

the prediction is the can get that down to 1.6% and match where the united states was in 1980.ecause it is this injustice, because a lot of these things weren't being done at the level they should be, and once you pick an area, you develop expertise, you go out and see the people. that is going to be our lifetime work. >> does someone trigger you to think about this area or was it just something that lifelong you have always -- >> i think he listens to his wife. [laughter] melinda has a lot of good ideas. maternal health, we have been doing a number of things under her guidance to trying to advance the causes of getting the kids so they can get born and survive the first couple of days and then the next five years. there are lots of good ideas. you can't do everything, you have to decide what your core competencies are. like the bill and melinda foundation, and a lot of cases, they administer funds. in our case, we probably do more donating funds and having others administrate but we have a big group working on public health issues as well. >> mike, when you were mayor, you had

. >> historically the homeownership rate in the united states was about 64%.uring the housing bubble it went up to 69%, and that was probably artificially high. right now it is has retreated back to 64, 65%. it may decline further in the years ahead, that would not be surprising. >> reporter: the american dream of owning a home might hit the under 35 crowd or millennials the hardest. since the housing crisis, is minnelals showed the steepest decline in homeownership. >> i think we all dream about buying, and i think the friends that i have that haven't purchased just don't have the savings. >> reporter: this 31-year-old dreams of one day owning a home. but with combined student loan and credit card debt of around $13,000, that dream is far off. >> i rent an apartment. i don't have enough savings first of all, to even think about putting a down payment. >> this is basically an economically challenged generation, and so many millennials are either unemployed, underemployed, or have jobs which don't pay sufficient levels of remuneration in order to purchase a hom

of his arrest and the impact on the drug trade and the relationships between mexico and the united states. was there a place where they choose the law enforcement. >> i look at 2009 and we held a gun summit and a drug summit mexico lead by the secretary of homeland and attorney general and counter parts from mexico and ice was represented and we sat down and talked about how we were going to focus on reducing vie ensz will and drug flow and the money across the border in cooperate with mexican counter parts and we really made it a point back then to work together closely with the mexican counter parts and that was a moment looking back, this is going to be a big priority, since 9/11 the focus had been on terror and the networks and this was on going in the background this took a front seat. >> is there e resentment in mexico the hunger for the substances to put into their bodies that is destabilizing mexico and it is really the americans that is giving the mexico a drug problem? >> there is something to it, if tomorrow the u.s. demand were to disus appear that would smaller the pie in mexico.

the united states was blessed with difference from other countries, he argues that the early immigrants the united states brought with them is the outcome of the enlightenment. we did not start from scratch in the united states. there was the right place at the right time with the right idea and this is key. here are the unique winders -- binders. this is a little bit small. i will have to read some of these parts. one important point is that democracy is on the march in the 1830s, not going back. by making known what americans gain, i'm far from claiming or thinking that such advantages can only be obtained with the help of the same laws. let's look at this link, which is from cnn's website. this website gives a time line for the arab spring starting in 2010. if you look back, how has democracy progressed? if you look recently, we can see in the recent weeks, tunisia and egypt have had different outcomes. tunisia is the one country that has settled into a stable beginning of a new constitutional democracy. egypt has not. so when we look abroad, we have to remember what he is saying abo

called special relationship as being the british and united states, they are reminding people that the original special relationship of the united states was with france. and france has been with us more often than many other allies. >> even if obama wanted to go in a new direction, steve, how willing are allies to join and step up the pressure on syria? >> i think after the first chemical weapons deal there was no doubt at that point in my mind as you and i discussed before, we walked away from the insurgency and civil war on the ground and notion of trying to help regime change happen there. but now syria has gone soft on chemical weapons and russia has been using the olympics as kind of cloud cover to remove the global attention on the chemical weapons deal. so assad is really gaming this. and i think it's going to be hard for the united states to automatically bring everybody back into a marshall position to try to compel syria to go a different thing. it's a real mess. and one can hope through diplomacy and maybe ships coming online and i don't think obama has any kind of appetite for coming back and pretending we might go to war agai

because in one of your recent op eds you called washington's approach sensible you deny that the united states was meddling in the ukrainian affairs and that's despite the fact that the state department's assistant secretary of state for european affairs miss noland appeared on the independence square where the bag of cookies for the protestors but i think you can take it as you know just a difference in diplomatic culture what i would like to ask you though if that doesn't count as as meddling how would you feel about russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov appearing at one of the american protest rallies let's say occupy wall street rally and handing out caviar and let's say bought go to the protesters how would that be perceived well i think you i think you having trouble understanding that you have a repressive government in ukraine there's not a repressive government in washington who well if'n you do a show you stay in three places when you're going on a minute you us me question well some people take an issue over the people who take a little of that are people who represent authoritarian r

and so many areas of the world where the united states was addressing an environment that was upset had to do with the majority of countries being muslim. when i went to congress, a few years before that, a plot to attack was launched in afghanistan. we were amidst the war in iraq -- when i opposed. somebody said to me, you know, keith, it is like if a japanese person was to run from a congress just a few years after pearl harbor. you might imagine some people wa wouldn't see the person for the person but see you as a member of a group. and yni think that is why peopl were excited and afraid and even abusive at some point. >> host: you mention the million man march. >> guest: that is a great moment in my life. >> host: and one of the organizers of that event was lewis fair con. you are very critical of him and the nation of islam in the book. tell us why? >> guest: there are a lot of people who come out of prison on drugs or whatever who are benefited by that nation. so we should never take credit away from that. but i was really looking for a greater mount of direction and involvement

united states to face charges. we're continuing our conversation on the impact of his arrest, the drug trade, and the relationship between mexico and the united states. john was a moment when the united states chose supply reduction over demand reduction as a part of national policy. >> i can think back to 2009 where we had a drug summit. and ice was represented, and we sat down and talked about how we were going to focus on reducing violence, and drug flow, and the money across the border in cooperation with mexican counterparts, and we really made it a point back then to work together very closely with our mexican counterparts. and i think that was a watershed moment looking back, saying this is going to be a big priority. where quite frankly since 9/11 the focus had been on terror and terror networks, and while this was still ongoing in the background, and it really took a front seat. >> is there a resentment in mexico that there's the hunger for these substances that is destabilizing mexico that it is really americans that are giving mexico a drug problem? >> there is something to in the sense that tomorrow magically u.s. drug demand were to stop indeed t

the war or terror, started by the united states, was now pursued by hollande, he has been a key ally.he has been an ally for obama, the french have fought deeper ties, north africa, french-speaking west africa, mali, iran, where the french never cut diplomatic relations. >> hollande and the president has worked side by side putting pressure on the syrian government for peace talks. >> american comedians have jokingly referred to the french as cheesy, but the relationship between the countries has changed. when airstrikes against syria looked emanant last year it was the americans not the french who got cold feet first. >> trust has shakenned about i spying scandal but france does not seem to have been as badly effected as germany. there have been no reports of president hollande's phone being tapped. >> we never got real satisfy toe answers that politics is politics, and they have common interests to show that they are close to each other and that they understand each other. >> reporter: and so the old alliance between france and the united states is evolving into a new partnership. o

very interesting because the president of the united states was contacted and appealed to by their owners, previous donors to bring them back. they should return to georgia. he, in fact, sent a military patrol after them. so they knew they had to leave. the society helped them escape. they went to maine. they caught a ship and went to england. ellen was extremely light skinned. she could pass for white. they use that as an advantage. so alan masqueraded as an indigent white man to go on the journey. she was tormented she and rheumatism and something was wrong with the right arm. then it is slang for right arm. she cut her hair. her husband cut her hair. he bought her a pair of green glasses, glasses that were shaded green. and then they check the big handkerchief, like a scar and tied it farmers begin to the top of her to touch into the top of for peso would not show the she did not have a beer any kind of facial hair. a new have to register the hotels and establishments along the way because they were intending to leave georgia and get to philadelphia where there was of french society. t

instance in mali france was trying to get a united nations security council resolution to go into molly's starting in the summer of two thousand and twelve it was the united states that was blocking them because of the coup. me no end in mali and because of that to the fact that the united states didn't want to support a non democratic regimes suited to the status control of the territory intervention. eventually awesome. that was it anyway at the point that a certain point in january when this when the situation became critical threats acted unilaterally unilaterally in the united states celebrated that. but the fact is for six months they weren't on the same page we so what happened in syria. they were announcing a tree so what happened in geneva with the iran nuclear negotiations we are. and often use the foreign french foreign minister arrived in almost the last minute to temporarily scuttle the deal now i happen to agree with the positions he argued for but the manner in which he did it was did not go over very well with midfielder negotiating partner so it was as much as france and america over the long run and in most cases their interests will either con
