but given the fact that after the creation of united states of america in 1776 moving into the slave trade ousting their sensible colonial process speaking of great britain as a result of forming united states is ousted and moves into abolition of slavery where the united states is a suppose of paragon of liberty and democracy moves into the leadership of the african slave trade and this book on cuba one of the reasons you have so many people in cuba because of a manic energy of u.s. slave dealers. as i suggest another book that's back on the shelf on the slave trade of brazil one of the many reasons why you have so many people in brazil more than any other country outside of nigeria's because of the manic energy of these u.s. slave traders in the 1830s and 1840s in particular that ascended upon africom manacled and handcuffed every african inside and drove them across the atlantic to brazil. now the short thesis of this book is that the rebels who formed the united states of america leading to the decoration of independence on july 4, 1776 that they rebelled against b

i am talking about members of the armed forces of the united states of america. members of the armed forces of the united states of america who when the president saw that their spouses were being deported while they were receiving order of deployment said that is wrong. that is what you are eliminating here. so i cannot understand even casually, what was going on in your city or town. i want to address immigration reform. >> will the gentlemen yield? >> i will yield. >> i just want to say we are here to address immigration reform. we could take care -- look there are bad people out there. let's go get them. we only put enough money to go get 400,000 people and there are 11 million of them. why don't we set aside the parents of american citizen children, five million of them why don't we set them aside and all of them have to go through a background check. they used to say when they came to the border and got caught it was catch and release. so the anti-immigration members of the congress said that is catch and release. now they catch them and don't release them b

they did not debate with the british they thought it was of bloody revolution and it was determined of the united states of america and virtually everyone was created by war. territoriality. every piece of territory on the face of the earth would belong to somebody else and was taken from them by war. as i recall the native americans did not trade as north america. the white settlers seized it. that is true everyplace. and someday it will be taken from us. and finally power within the nation is settled by violence not by the ballot box. peaceful participation, as leader. take over recent history of african-american was enacted to the presidency. but the fact that african-americans are not slaves is resolved by violence. for better or worse and not by a peaceful forms of collectivity. we don't like it but it is true. >> host: people say we have grown up and we should be more sophisticated than we were 100 years ago. >> guest: unfortunately not everyone is. if not everyone is peaceful and sophisticated than other words like - - the others have to be prepared to fight so the pacifist principles is the case the more u

borders to the pacific for the first time he follows these successes up with a single failure of his life. he is elected president of the united states of america. it's actually the low opinion of his life and career -- low point of his life and career, and his presidencies were generally regarded as failure. but it is worth noting his vision for the united states, the progressive vision he lays

issue since the president of the united states and the state department have the authority to look at this issue as it relates to what's in the national interests of the united states of americaso i would say that this decision by the nebraska supreme court today is a very interesting decision, a very interesting decision because the majority of the supreme court four out of the seven individuals on the court basically said that this law was unconstitutional. this attempt to circumvent what is a public interest process by the citizens of nebraska to raise concerns about a pipeline going through their community the majority of the supreme court said yes that attempt by the nebraska legislature is unconstitutional. unfortunately, for those citizens in nebraska and those citizens in the united states of america who want to make sure that the environmental security issues and economic issues are fully discussed, they are getting shut down by a supermajority of the nebraska supreme court. they failed to get five out of the seven supreme court justices to side with them. but nonetheless i think that there is a lot in this decision for all of us to think about and that is just how m

because i asked the head of the pipeline for transcanada in a hearing with the house of representatives would you accept an amendment to keep all of the oil here in the united states of america? and he said no. by the way i asked the same question of the head of the american petroleum institute. he said no. so there's a lot of false advertising going on here. on the one hand they say this is great for american energy independence and on the other hand they say let's keep the keystone in the united states and we will have an amendment on the floor of the senate that will accomplish that goal they say oh no absolutely opposed to that. that is why logically you have to reach the conclusion that the goal was to get the extra $1700 -- $17 per barrel if they can get it by selling to china or selling it to latin america or other parts of the world. that's the plan. no two ways about it and by the way that should be their plan. that should be their plan. that is what their responsibility is. it's through the shareholders of their companies. but what is the strategy for the american driver? we have a responsibility too to make sure that they get the lowest possible prices. my goodnes

what the canadians want to do is to basically construct a straw through the united states of america, bring that straw down to port arthur, texas, which is a tax-free export zone, and then export the oil out of the united states. now, why would they want to do that? because they advertise that it is all about north american energy independence. well there's a simple reason. that the price of oil in canada right now for this tar sands oil is getting $13 less per barrel than it would get in the united states but ahh, it is $17 less than if they can get it into ships and send it around the world. so that's the very simple economic strategy of the canadians. now, how do i know this? because i asked the head of the pipeline for trans-canada in a hearing in the house of representatives would you accept an amendment to keep all of the oil here in the united states of america, and he said no. by the way i asked the same question of the head of the american petroleum institute. he said no. so there is a lot of false advertising going on here. on the world cup hand, they say this is great for a

we the people, we realize this is more, it is war for the sovereignty of the united states america. don't sit on our thumbs this next time when one of our own is being crucified, and falsely accused of whatever the hit accusation of the day happens to be, racism, sexism, whatever. it is orwellian observing how that works, that rule that the left employees. disgusting charges from the left, reverse them. it is they who point a finger, not really -- they have tripled the amount of fingers pointed back at them. revealing they are the ones who really discriminate and divides, on color in class, and sex.

the spirit that was behind both of those acts, and it is that precise spirit that has encouraged me to answer what i consider the greatest moral calling of our time, the defense of the united states of america. as a 17-year-old, i watched as evil islamists plunged planes into buildings. i remember realizing then and there that history had be1230e be1230e -- bestowed a very particular role upon my generation to stand up and to fight for america. at university i watched as american flag after american flag was burned. as an adult, i watched as the world's media turned anti-americanism into a sport. i watched as they opposed every single american military endeavor, always attributing it to some nefarious motive. i saw their contempt for president george w. bush and i see their admiration for president barack obama, a moral inversion if i've ever seen one. i've watched the left undermine pillars of american im; liberty, small government god-based ethics and e pluribus unum. through schools and universities, labor unions, the entertainment media and the arts. i don't want to think about a world devoid of american leadership. it terrifies me. it frightens me. we've already seen glimpses of what i

the keystone x.l. pipeline is built. that's a fact. and we've talked about this. the state department, our own state department in this great country of ours, the united states of america has conducted five environmental assessments of the keystone pipeline and has found -- and all of them -- that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. now, these are the things that we have to be cognizant of. the state department also found that the pipeline is unlikely to affect the rate of extraction in canadian oil development. that means that whatever we do here is not going to change the rate of development in the oil sands. so the state department also examined alternatives to the proposed x.l. pipeline. these alternatives included what would happen if no action was taken at awvment all. let's say we do nothing and nothing comes about with this pipeline. likely the crude would be shipped either by rail or by tanker. and if that continued it would be considered no action if we take no action here and don't build this pipeline, for whatever reason, the greenhouse gas emissions which we're all concerned about and our debate is about that really, will be

the ground -- cede the ground of the media, of schools or universities. we need to take the fight to the left. we need to take the fight to the forces whose ultimate target is the united states of america. let's be honest, their target list is as long as the list i just provided you. but the grand prize if there was a deck of cards of the most wanted, america would be the prime card. because america represents the greatest holdout to the left's agenda and it's why we need to do everything that we can do to make sure that america remains strong. because i believe that the rest of the world is too far gone, and i don't say that lightly. but i believe that the only hope for our world, the only hope for americans of today to feel safe about the future that they will bequeath to their children and their children is the united states of america. .. welcome world leaders from around the world. president obama attended the g 20 conference and he spoke at a local university in the state of queensland where he proceeded to give a nationally televised live address covered on every single channel in australia and dedicated a very substantial portion of the speech to climate change.

jut -- carve-out exemption to a foreign company to basically build a pipeline through the united states of america the fundamental question in my mind is what's the hurry in giving exemptions to these various laws as a way to et go the pipeline built? these are things that the united states businesses don't get. they don't get these exemptions, either what's been granted through this process. and they certainly don't get the u.s. senate voting for them to basically override the president's authority to make sure that there is -- or i should say to pass a bill that would prohibit the president from using his authority on what is in the national interest. so to me, the montana spill that is you know, very close to the yellowstone river is really about our current pipeline and whether we have the right safety provisions in place. so if anything, to me we should be discussing what we can do to further pipeline safety in the united states of america not let a foreign company roll back existing u.s. laws on environmental issues that they should be complying with, and the fact that this is such a beautif

my first duty as commander-in-chief is to defend the united states of america. in doing so, the question is not whether america leads in the world, but how. when we make rash decisions reacting to the headlines instead of using our heads; when the first response to a challenge is to send in our military, then we risk getting drawn into unnecessary conflicts, and neglect the broader strategy we need for a safer more prosperous world. that's what our enemies want us to do. i believe in a smarter kind of american leadership. we lead best when we combine military power with strong diplomacy; when we leverage our power with coalition building; when we dont let our fears blind us to the opportunities that this new century presents. thats exactly what were doing right now, and around the globe, it is making a difference. first, we stand united with people around the world who have been targeted by terrorists from a school in pakistan to the streets of paris. we will continue to hunt down terrorists and dismantle their net woverbings and we reserve the right to act unila
