the united states is 1 out of 193 countries in the united nations and yet we pay 22% of the entire budget and more. in fact, we pay far more than anybody realizes. the united states bears an unfair cost burden but to be fair, if it could actually accomplish all of its stated goals, especially the goal of peace, this investment would easily be well worth it. major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell, but the powerful people in this room under the guidance and auspices of the united nations can solve many of these vicious and complex problems. the american people hope that one day soon the united nations can be a much more accountable and effective advocate for human dignity and freedom around the world. in the meantime, we believe that no nation should have to bear a disproportionate share of the burden militarily or financially. nations of the world must take a greater role in promoting secure and prosperous societies in their own regions. that is why in the western hemisphere the united states has stood against the corrupt destabilizing regime in cu

we did not trust the united states, and the united states obviously did not trust us. so everything in the deal is based on reciprocity and measures taken on both side. so if congress behaves, in six years from now, eight years from the signing of the deal or the agreement, we will be ratifying the additional protocol, additional protocol is the most intrusive inspection regime that is available in h the international community. iran is now implementing additional protocol because we are not confident about behavior by the u.s. we will become a party, an official party to the additional protocol in six years' time, provided that the united states takes care of its responsibilities, and that would mean iran would be permanently -- because additional protocol does not have a withdrawal clause. you cannot withdraw from the additional protocol. so once we ratify it, it means iran will be under the most intrusive inspection regime that is available, but then iran will become a normal mpt member. a normal mpt member would be obliged to not pursue nuclear weapons and iran wou

if not, the united states has the most military power, if the united states is gone, may be that little bit of force behind the deal is gone and iran will speed ahead with its program, as it was before. there is also reporting this morning from the president of france, that when it comes to iran's regional behavior, it is not enough, the nuclear deal, and maybe some more examination of it is needed. can you give your opinion on his perspective? seems like the general reaction from the international community to president trump's speech. the bias of the yuan is toward the status quo. but they don't like the fact that president trump criticized nato, but at the same time, maybe we do need to up our defense spending. the president is going against the same time at he's causing world leaders to think about things in a different way. and it shows donald trump's impact in front of the world stage. >> you talked about his , we will show you that portion of his speech. there is donald trump at the united nations. as president of the united states, i will always put america first. just like you,

in vietnam, amphibious assaults by the united states khol's -- united states's -- united states' seventhe many strongholds along the coast. it is typical of the cooperative effort in vietnam that in this operation, a navy amphibious ship provides a landing platform and fresh ammunition for army helicopters, which will provide air support for soldiers and marines onshore. -- air support for south vietnamese soldiers and marines onshore. one of the newest concepts in strike warfare is built around the amphibious assault ship, a completely equipped floating helicopter base with complete facilities for the service and control of an airborne assault. chopping]r >> control, this is bravo 8-1. fighter 16, 101-4. over. >> bravo 8-1, this is clearwater. >> this is 8-1, roger out. >> introduction of the helicopter to amphibious operations has precipitated the greatest single taxable -- single tactical innovation since the single technical innovation since the first world war. the technical -- gunfire] >> marines are swiftly airlifted to land behind enemy positions while the rest of the forces assa

negotiate with the united states because they know the united states, at the end of the day, will use this famous expression, what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable, because any negotiation where there is give and take, in the nuclear negotiation there was give and take, we accepted certain concessions and the united states accepted certain concessions. and it is important at this stage. in addition to the fact that iran should draw economic benefits from this deal, but it is from a global perspective, because we all live in an intertwined, interconnected world. from global perspective, the crisis in north korea, the crises in our region, it is important to be able to rely upon the promises, the commitments, of important players in the global community. iran has proven that it is a reliable partner. seven iaea reports have shown that iran is a reliable partner. i hope the united states will review its posture and prove to the world that it is also a rely partner. >>> when we come back, i got a chance to spend some time this week with france's new president, emmanuel macron

channels to talk to the united states. i think this would be a large change in the traditional posture. i think we need to take time and to have more discussion on this. to add to that, there is one thing we can do without spending more money and that is to include japan in american armaments.for example, tomahawk missiles, other armaments. we could have joint operations within the united states. it way would require to send money. but in that regard we would have to lift the political and other obstacles we have had up until now. >> since the general raised the possibility that depending on the discussion toward the new national defense program guidelines and perhaps more specifically on a midterm defense program. there may be a need for some forces to look at how to equip themselves very differently. from the past programs. and we often talked about the -- that reorientation can start from. and i just want, that is actually another question. given that japan is hosting a couple of major international sporting events. 201

it's the united nations after all.ut you heard presidents in the past say look, we have the capacity to do what we need to do if north korea attacks one of our allies. what wasn't said was the president, what do we do next with north korea? the chinese diplomats in town, some of whom i spoke with yesterday, a military action has incredible consequence. not just to the united states and north korea but for south korean, the american allies in the region. i'm already hearing from plenty of south korean conservatives that say we need nuclear weapons. is that what the president wishes to encourage or does he have another plan? are there other negotiations he's willing to enter into as the chinese are suggesting he should. is he willing to do that? that we didn't hear. >> shepard: thanks, john. now more on hurricane maria. a deadly storm as it heads to puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. people on the french idea of guadalupe say one is dead. two missing. forecasters say hurricane maria is a catastrophic category five

what are the courts doing when the supreme court of the united states opens with god save the united states. and then says that children can't pray in school. what are they doing. >> there were people coming in to the rotunda. they were kneeling and praying. you turned that rotunda into a religious line. that is a acknowledging rule of god. when people come and they're there in there they're free to do what they want. the god of the holy scriptures. the god which is founded. as is the buddhist god. >> no it's not. this is judeo-christian god. i'm sure there's a buddhist community in alabama they went up a statue in the rotunda of the state building. if the buddhist was a chief justice if there was a chief justice and the desire to put the monument there. nothing in the lot would stop it. because he has not established religion. you're saying what i support. it shows whether or not your consistent and i think it gets to the fallacy in your argument which is you say you're not favoring one got over another impact you are. there's only one god. there is one got on which this nation was

and rather than overdepending on unit, wh united states, what japan can do, if you think about maritime self-defense force, the we learn from the u.s. navy. we introduce new equipment. and also learn from new tactics from u.s. navy. and but now time has changed. the maritime self-defense force together with navy, we have to develop a new equipment, new tactics. and we have to think together how to fight the war. and i think that's what u.s. navy wants us to do, if that is a different, i would like you to tell us. but so in the asia-pacific region, the relative u.s. influence, not absolute, but relative of the influence has been in decline, at least in our perception has been in decline. so now maritime self-defense force together with navy, we should make joint efforts to keep the u.s. presence in this region. in other words, we should make up for some of the shortfall for u.s. forces. and that is the purpose of the alliance, and i think we should work together for that purpose. >> translator: from my side, as i siaid, we need to understand the current status. so when four years ago whe

when you looked at what we did militarily they took those tomahawks you have to remember when the united states chooses to employ that weapon they put together a strike package and say ok one of the objectives of this strike what do we need to hit what we looked at was given that the strikes the chemical strikes came from that air base with the aircraft that were there they targeted those aircraft they targeted the fueling facilities the preparation of maintenance facilities they specifically didn't strike what they thought might be the chemical facility because obviously you don't want to create additional problems right there but nonetheless this was a military objective that was achieved the political objective goes to a larger strategy and when i think you look at it syria has always been a bit of a conundrum for the united states through successive administrations there is almost been this bubble over there we have not touched syria we have engaged with other countries in the region whether it is been and levanon coordination with jordan the u.s. has always been engaged in that regi

iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided rejection the united states has ever and. u.s. president donald trump has made no secret of his disdain for the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal last week in his first speech to the united nations general assembly he called it an embarrassment to the united states while afterwards he told journalists he had come up with a plan to deal with it but failed to give further details trump's pronouncements have worried other signatories to the deal both france and russia have said that the u.s. would be making a big mistake if it was to pull out iran's president hassan rouhani fired back against from speech to the assembly warning of rogue nations to the world world rogue newcomers to the world of politics rather and insisting iran would not be the first country to break the deal so let's cut through some of the rhetoric and discuss what's really at stake here to talk about that valerie lynsey she is executive director of the wisconsin project on nuclear arms control an organization dedicated to stopping the proliferation of nuclear weap

neither of those things are seen very often at the united nation united nations. think the president proved today that he can hit the right tones, understanding both the seriousness and of a threat, not only to the united states but also to civilized nations around the world, the behavior like rogue nations like north korea. the bottom line is, there is no question as to where president trump stands today, i think he showed the ability to deploy both strength and nuance, which is exactly the right tone to hit in front of the general assembly today. >> julie: rocket man on a suicide mission, not only for himself but for his regime. how do you think foreign leaders receive the president's rhetoric today? >> juvenile. i think calling terrorists losers and calling another leader as much as you despise them rocket man, just look loot the stone-faced diplomats he was facing. this is not a rally, this is not his base and in the beginning i think he saw a bit of discomfort with the president who fortunately did not go off script and embarrass us. i would have to say i agr

the united states had defeated saddam, and the united states had removed the taliban in afghanistan, two of iran's main rivals at the time. and in the process they head weakened-to-the point it was increasingly difficult for it to uphold the policy of isolating iran. instead what we saw was iran was unleashed. but as long as the united states contained -- refused negotiations and refused to recognize iran this, iranians could not lock in this new favorable geopolitical circumstance. what they needed was a crisis, something that would force the united states to the table, and that would enable negotiations that by definition would cause the united states to end its policy of regime change and come to terms with iraq. iranians wanted this recognition for very same reason the israelis did not want to see iran get the wreck nation. that recognition would put an end to decades of american policy of isolating iran. now, ironically, the iranians and the israelis actually used the same instrument to be able to achieve their objective which was the iranian nuclear program. from the israeli pe

of the united nations well our u.n. correspondent roslyn jordan joins us live now from the headquarters in new york so i mean do we see this says really the president changing his human over the u.n. . well certainly you may be seeing barbara is the fact that the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley has made reform of the institution as much her platform as the president's platform and certainly by working with someone who himself campaigned for the job as wanting to reform and refine the work of the year when she found common cause with antonio good terrorists they are said to have a very close and warm working relationship and so it is entirely possible that she has been able to make an appeal on behalf of the un's validity and usefulness to the president now of course what needs to change according to some analysts is the funding that the u.s. wants to contribute to the united nations it's the single largest style funder both of its basic operations as well as to the peacekeeping operations and they're so far they

hasn't lived up to them but basically dedicating to the united states the united states to serving the cause of reform and advancing the secretary general's goals i think that there is great synergy there it's often said that the united states and other countries want their secretary general to be more secretary and less in general but at least in terms of bringing the u.n. system to heel there is no question that that that the united states really wants and then you get terrorist to be empowered i think it's it's really a remarkable scene and i think that nikki haley deserves a lot of credit for working with the secretary general will bring this about i do agree with james vai's that there is a long road ahead here before we get real reform. not least because there obviously there were not large number of members that were not there this statement of reform that they signed up to i think that was very smart on the halley's part to sort of get them on record but but it's it at a very high level of generality and when it when it comes to efforts to to try to rejigger budgets which are r

apart from a bloated bureaucracy that people talk about in the united nations, another aspect of unitedhe fact that it is very difficult to penetrate its culture — it's got this culture of secrecy. i'll tell you what lord mark malloch—brown, former deputy kofi annan, when he was secretary general to the united nations, he said "the truth is, while there are people at the united nations who just want to get by, there are many others who have a personal, stated commitment to make a real difference. "the two live in permanent tension with one another." you have to make sure that it's the activists that have the upper hand. but you have a big task ahead of you in that, haven't you? it's true, but that's what we are trying to do. we need to wean off of bureaucracy, and we need to make sure that the un becomes more accountable and more transparent. and that is at the centre of the reforms that i'm proposing. full transparency of what we do, and full accountability — results—based accountability. really? full accountability? because i want to give you an example. a swedish diplomat, anders kom

so i'm just for a united spain. i speak as the president of the united states. as somebody that has great respect for your president and also has great -- really great respect for your country. i really think the people of catalonia would stay with spain. i think it would be foolish not to. you're talking about staying with a truly great, beautiful and very historic country. prime minister rajoy: we would be delaying the budget and parliament because we think that when we submit the budgets, we'll need the support. to approve them. we're talking with different political parties. a lot of people have problems as we continue to work down the line. i don't think we'll have any problems in approving them within a reasonable time frame. we are looking for a majority, just like we did last time around when we voted the budget. at any rate, i'm not thinking at all about calling early elections. of what we've been saying. president trump: mr. president, thank you very much. thank you. >> if you missed any of the press conference, you can find it on c-span.org. earlier i

united nations.i can tell you that though. that was not a live look. that was tape. but they are back in the u.n. for that meeting with the secretary general. vivian, as you watch this morning, what struck you most? >> couple of things. first of all it was donald trump, the man, full on for the world to see. talking about calling kim jong un a rocket man, referring to terrorists as losers. that is something that we've seen him do here talking to domestic audiences but a lot of that is interesting because it gets lost in translation when you are talking to a world audience. i've been speaking with people, shooting messages back and forth with people in the room and getting quick reactions and a lot of them are really astonished and outrages. one person -- >> how could they be? they have seen and heard this president over the last eight or nine months? >> that is the thing. a lot people are seeing him front and center for the first time. their first exposure to him and really thought that you know an a

the united states neither can nor should conduct programs in every country. we currently conduct bilateral family planning programs in 34 countries by contributing to unfpa, we can help women in nearly 100 additional countries get access to needed services. this bill ignores the fact that family planning is the most effective way to prevent abortion and unwanted pregnancies and it decimates the effectiveness of our global programs for millions. now i'd like to yield to my colleague on the state foreign operations subcommittee, ms. lee, who has been an effective, afwressive advocate on a whole range of issues and an invaluable member of our committee. ms. lee. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. lee: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank our ranking member for yielding but also i just want to thank her for her tireless leadership on our subcommittee and full committee. you truly are a champion for all americans, especially women and girls not only in our own country but around the world. it's too bad we have to stand here and debate this again but

and the president of the united states is going through the south of the united states in texas and louisiana, a time to take care of his own those who might be suffering, the headlines are quieter, if you will, when we talk about foreign policy. and molly, then this leader, kim jong-un, comes out with another test. [ that's exactly right. i think they're very much aware of the environment into which they are dropping this piece of information. they've been preparing this test for some time. that i think your other guests have said as well. there's been evidence that they've been moving toward trying to do a bigger nuclear test and certainly they've been saying that they have wanted to, to sort of show they're continuing to move toward intercontinental nuclear capability and they'll keep doing that did through a variety of means. i think it's this intense awareness of testing the united states, that the trump administration has allowed itself to be put in this position of sort of seeming chaotic at home, seeming chaotic abroad, seeming not to have much of a center to the policy and u.s. polic

the united states -- in war. the united states has slowed down element in these elements in -- these technologies. we see with hacking with russia and cyber weapons by china and their intrusions into our government networks, it was a utopian hope but our rivals will not slow down in the development of these technologies. host: to join the conversation with john yoo, democrats call 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. independents, 202-748-8002. he is with us until the top of the hour. roger in indiana, line four independents. caller: thank you for taking my call. that -- ambservation i on the line? host: yes. an observation on what? caller: the south koreans close to the border, the millions of people held hostage by north korea, because no leader would want to have millions of lives lost on their watch. it looks like we are dealing with a hostage situations in a sense. .hat is all i have to say guest: that is a great point and a sticking point that makes american leaders and south korean leaders reluctant to

certainly the united states being the greatest.nd china continues to hold it's nose because they don't want to see anything happen that would destabilize the north korean regime and certainly don't want to see a u.s. allied reunified korea with the presence of u.s. military troops at china's doorsteps. that's not something they're willing to allow unless north korea were to fire the first shot and then the u.s. in-turn responded. but if the u.s. were to stage a preemptive strike there have been editorials in chinese state media calling on the chinese media to step in and intervene and keep the geopolitical dynamics of the region in place and if china were to do everything that the u.s. asked that north korea would implode. i keep making this point that north korea has been through very difficult times in the past. there's been predictions that they would collapse and they managed to defy many people's predictions so when i was in the country last week and i have spoken repeatedly with officials and citizens and talked to them about

united states has our back. the other reason why there's not much discussion of this is that china and russia are considered to be rational actors. they can make a reasonable decision. they're not rogue nations, china and russia are not -- so they have these weapons but they're rational actors and china and russia are basically friendly states to japan and so we have the nuclear deterrence of the united states and we've been able to rely on that so we haven't had to do too much by ourselves, when it comes to north korea, separate from the nuclear issue, we need to think whether they are rational or not. why does north korea want to have nukes? what does it want to have icbm? i imagine they want to maintain the kim dynasty or to ensure the continuation of the regime. i think that's one of the reasons and what will -- what would north korea do with nuclear weapons, i think there's no way they would give up their nuclear weapons and i think it's of course north korea poses a grave challenge to us. and then you cons

the unit could be ready by the end of this year.say kim's likely taking measures to evade the assassination teams. >> he uses many kinds and of course different vehicles and for a long time the guard command did not allow, whether it's his father or himself, to fly the plane. >> reporter: analysts warn that while kim jong-un is taking his own measures to dodge south korean assassination squads, he could well be preparing assassination teams of his own to go after south korea's president. the north koreans did that at least once before. in january of 1968, sending dozens of commandos to target south korea's president inside his residence, the blue house, that came within 350 feet of that residence, and in a furious gun battle, nearly 60 soldiers from both sides were killed, but the south korean president survived. wolf. >> very interesting. amid all this tension and the combat drills that are going on right now, the u.s. defense secretary, james mattis, just made a rather surprising comment about military options for north korea. >>

to the united states or territory will be met with a massive military response. and overwhelming washington isn't ruling out using its nuclear capabilities of north korea continues to threaten us or its allies pyongyang said it had successfully tested. fearing persecution tens of thousands of muslims i mean.

i want the children growing up in the united states to be dreamers also. they're not dreaming right now. >> scott lucas joins us now, he is a professor of international politics in england. thank you for being with us. it's believed that the elimination of daca will cost employers about $2 billion or so and the gdp could lose $280 billion over the course of ten years, so why would the trump administration get rid of this program? >> well, the reason why we're hearing is th is because there are certain advisors, the attorney general, jeff sessions be, stephen miller, who really want to end this program. there are also some state attorney generals pressing for the end of it and trump himself has the view of if they're undocumented immigrants they're not doing us any good. i think the big story is trump has taken a step back in the past 24 hours. we were talking he would make an announcement that would immediately end the program. what he's saying now is we're not going to end daca, let's give it to congress and give them six months to, quote, fix it. i think

having sat in the hall of the united nations where the president of the united states delivers an address for gathered world leaders, that's something i did for the last three years. what you know world leaders are looking for in that room is a coherent strategy for taking on the biggest challenges around the globe. whether that is climate change or refugee problems or rogue nations with nuclear weapons, the world looked to the united states to organize a coherent strategy. as you point out, andrea, there is a distinct lack of coherence in this strategy president trump pointed out today. on the one hand, he's suggested to north korea that they need to work with the united nations to denuclearize the korean peninsula. then two or three sentences later, he is trashing and vowing to tear up a deal that the united nations is implementing to prevent iran from getting access to a nuclear weapon. what this does, andrea, it puts the united states at a disadvantage, that part of our leadership in the world and able to advance our interests, is to have a strategy with the world that they enjoy impl
