chicago council on cultural affairs. chicago council on global affairs hosted this hour-long event. >> good morning. you all get a gold star for supervening the security in the building and being on time. we know there will be some stragglers but that is to be expected. i am jane harman, the president and ceo of the wilson center. i have to say it is hard to seem -- hard to sound hopeful about the subject we will address after the past week. hundreds were gunned down last night in las vegas. i do not think we know yet what the gunman's motives were. two women were stabbed to death in front of the train station in an isise by sympathizer, and there seems to be an unprecedented disconnect between our secretary of state and president on the strategy to walk north korea back on threats of nuclear war. vice president pence was here a few months ago, he is an old friend of mine from our congress days. he told us the president's strategy of america first does not mean america alone. at the wilson center, we all hope vice president pence is right. this is the fourth time the ambassador and the chicago council are here to release their
