in all of those states. sometimes by large margins. in the south, no state allowed free blacks to vote after about 1930. slaves were not allowed to vote anywhere. andpresident lincoln in inter-had encouraged reconstructing states to allow some african-americans to vote, for example those who were educated or those who had fought in the union army. there is a is was ignored by southern states. republicans faced a political dilemma after the civil war. the party wanted to expand its roots into the south. was notdid not do that, going to have much chance of being a national party. he for the civil war, the republican party had been entirely sectional party. president lincoln is not even on the ballot in the south state of virginia. without support, the republicans have a tenuous hold on power at the national level but without black suffrage in the south, the party has very little prospect of success unless they're going to disenfranchise very large families of rubble whites, seemed to think was a long-term viab

the state certify that they don't boycott israel this is an ideological litmus test on state benefits i said we're talking about as you said you can a teacher who can take it and they didn't and then he has already come straight to get there if there wasn't some were not absences he didn't as one example then get him on writing a team of the one example is a teach at powell finish up well the teacher who is. who the a.c.l.u. is representing who filed the lawsuit can't engage in a teacher training program because she decided based on her church's. point kyra solution that she is boycotting her palestinian rights that is one of the whole time for a moment so we we've had you opposite i've had a child she's a little doing an interview and you're also going to explain to the singer david hyde that i will but just i need to correct something to address that the federal bill that's pending is simply an extension of the export of ministration our that was passed in one nine hundred seventy nine and the penalties that george mentioned that have been in place for several years and the export o

states workers and companies. i view companies as an extension of the worker, that have been treating our companies, our country, and our workers very unfairly. you will be seeing the united states will take very, very strong action. it already started. but most of of the legal foundation has been done. and you are going to see a very big difference. and it will happen soon. the united states by many countries has been treated very, very unfairly when it comes to trade. thank you very much. >> regarding japan, defense equipment, a lot of them we purchase from the united states. the north korea situation becomes very tough, the asia pacific security situation becoming very tough. we qualitatively and quantitatively we have to enhance our defense capability. as the president mentioned. block 2a is another plan for purchase from the united states. aegis vessels, the quality and the quantity must be enhanced. in that process we'll be buying more from the united states. that is what i'm thinking. now, north korea. nort

the room reacts like that because the president of the united states said in the united states that china is our enemy, that he's happy to upset them, that china is raping us. it's the greatest theft in the history of the world. then to the face of the chinese president, he tells him how great he is. he tells him how he has nothing but warm feelings for him. he tells him there is nothing to blame china for at all. you know, even if you're 100 oo100% agnostic, no matter what you think our relationship should be with china, that huey, that slinking away from his own past statements, that sort of visible gutlessness on foreign soil earns gasps and laughter from a room of chinese diplomats, that's an embarrassing act of deference and basic suck up for the united states of america in the person of the president of the united states. i should also tell you the president did not take questions from reporters. the white house explained that the chinese government insisted that they didn't want reporters to be able to ask questions. now, all previous modern american presidents have stood on princi

california the united states climate alliance is a coalition of states that have reacted to president trump's decision. into west of there are united states from a climate treaty and the state stepped up taking it upon themselves to do the things that would be necessary if the united states were still at the table this is a coalition that can get as big as there are jurisdictions that are willing to work with us i think there's real hope that as states see other states joining and getting some benefit out of it that they'll decide that they want to be part of it to california is also working internationally in june twenty seventh team governor jerry brown signed a deal to work on climate change with china china looks to us now as a representative of the united states they want to see not just california of other states coming to china they want to send people here to learn from some of our techniques that we've used over the years to bring down the levels of smaug which not that long ago were as bad as what you now see today in beijing seeing countries or states or cities that are cut

it has been a disaster for the united states.last week 42 south korean companies announced their intent to invest in projects worth $17 billion in the united states, 24 companies announced plans to purchase $58 billion in american goods and services. from south korea, we traveled to china where as in japan and south korea we were greatly honored by the splendor, our trip included the first official dinner held for a foreign leader in the forbidden city since the founding of modern china where we enjoyed a very productive evening hosted by president xi and his wife. he pledged to implement united nations security council resolutions on north korea and uses economic influence over the regime to achieve our common goal of a denuclearize to peninsula. president xi recognizes a nuclear north korea is a grave threat to china and we agree we would not accept a so-called freeze for freeze agreement like those that have consistently failed in the past. time is running out and we made it clear, all options remain on the table. i also had a

through the voice of the prime minister pride in the establishment of the state of israel. in its i was a remarkable story and has produced a a safe home for global jury i do don't have but it also the cold healing time not so crisp and it also whilst providing safe refuge for one people started the one hundred year. reign of another people and. and that's why that was celebrating is not being used as far as i know by the british government it's about commemorating. the declaration and then trying to deliver of a balance but we need to get real here about what the united kingdom can actually do and the suggestion that new britain should put pressure on america and america should then put pressure on israel and to take up our responsibility to deliver a two state solution i'm afraid it simply doesn't work the the the truth is is that israel has immense strength i've just come from a conference where the point was made by an israeli academics that. that the balfour declaration happens but the actual delivery of the state of israel after that was largely down to the action of

host: what is the state of the state department under secretary of state rex tillerson? how many positions are still open? what are you hearing? guest: being served and the state department for seven years, i came to know the building very well. aree people who work there the backbone of american foreign-policy. they are the backbone of american power around the world. while secretary tillerson on the policy side is trying to strike a allen's on this administration and trying to do -- strike a balance on this administration -- his view on the state department is completely lost. he is approaching it like a ceo would when you are told you need to cut percentage out of your budget. that may work fine for a company like exxon mobil. what drives a department budget -- the interests -- that you cannot just say you want to cut that by 30%. that unfortunately is what secretary tillerson is doing. while he figures out how to cut the budget at the state department, he has not been filling the jobs. we do not have a white house appointed ambassador to south korea, we do not have a

that are willing to work with us i think there's real hope that as states see other states joining and getting some benefit out of it that they'll decide that they want to be part of it to california is also working internationally in june twenty seventh team governor jerry brown signed a deal to work on climate change with china china looks to us now as representatives of the united states they want to see not just california of other states coming to china they want to send people here to learn from some of our techniques that we've used over the years to bring down the levels of smaug which not that long ago were as bad as what you now see today and then again seeing countries or states or cities that are cutting their emissions and doing well economically is what everybody needs to be doing and we all can learn from each other because there is no one place that has a monopoly of all the good ideas. china is the world's biggest c o two emitter and urban air pollution here has to be scraped by megacities like shenzhen are now harnessing the power of both the government and the privat

politician in mÉxico to stand up and stand with the united states at a time when the united states isthat could be damaging to mÉxico and to the united states, it's just not a lot of wiggle room there for them. paul: hawaii do you see this? do you really think that this may end up breaking down and we don't get a deal and the u.s. withdraws? >> i think it's a real possibility, that's why we are hearing so much concerned particularly from states across the heartland, industrial states like michigan, wisconsin, agriculture states like iowa, missouri and border states like texas and arizona. these are some of the state that is would be hurt the most be withdrawing from nafta. paul: those sounds like trump states? >> that's the irony. we have analyzed these and ranking the state that is would suffer the most from withdrawing from nafta and what we found that it's overwhelming those industrial states. it's american manufacturers who export more made in the usa goods to canada and mÉxico than they do to the next ten countries combined and it's farmers and ranchers who have seen exports to c

a liberal state a liberal islamic state like turkey iran is an islamic state based on. a third country to the south of iraq is kuwait is a monarchy another country is syria is a republic and this is the situation of the neighboring countries multiple ethnicities different and multiple. regimes and monarchies and we are having our dealing with them on balance policies however iraq is dealing with them on the basis of the stablished strategic shared principles and we cannot see any contradiction in this once again iraq is been dealing with all these countries on the basis of humanitarian civilized manner believing that shared interests shirt risks and purpose will no doubt shape and drive forward our both bilateral non muslim and multilateral efforts to maintain security in the region. on the other hand we are against isolating or sidelining in a country and i believe you have listened to the. speech in the united nations we are against any located against any country and we believe that any crises or dispute can be resolved through dialogue and we hope that this will pre

united states but the world. we fit into that economy in a big way and i think that it is important when we are having debates about farm bills and farm policy that people from other parts of the country understand the significance of that and what it means to the health and vitality of the nation. >> with the farm bill, what are some of the major issues you are focused on? sen. thune: this is a tough time on the farm. the farm economy has been rough. we had a significant drought this summer in south dakota which will knockdown some of our yields this year. the next farm on bill, trying to identify those areas we think we could start shaping a farm bill effects the economic times we are in. there are 13 titles of farm bills. ivan idea for every title. we rolled out five hills so far. commodity, oneh dealing with disaster, one dealing with forest health, we are trying to look at the range of issues that impact agriculture. for the most part, people want to have a good strong crop insurance program, that has become

that struggle has almost destroyed the turkish state.that is damaging because everybody understands he was the person who enabled. the rise of gulen movement 1980's.in the it suited his interests at the time. toot of people, i talked every good friend last week. secularist to said we need erdogan because he's the only person who can get rid of gulen movement. it is very strange. >> the assumption is that he hasn't done that yet? >> yes. groups have been purged. what i'm trying to get to is that maintaining the pressure on for the regime stability a necessity but also something that unites him with his new coalition partners. his earlier coalition was based on conservatives, liberals and kurds. into anow been turned tactical alliance with neo-nationalist forces. nationalists. they are highly skeptical if not hostile to the united states and the west. this focus unites them. i would say tensions with united states and the suspicion this case generates strengthens the power of these neo-nationalist forces in the turkish government. >> if yo

hits the state of alabama. it hits everywhere where there's a powerful man who's kind of doing the things that should not be done and women have not spoken out. now the power to do it, they should be, they should feel empowered to speak out, to stand up, and stand up for their rights. and so i think that's an issue. we have talked about some, but the specifics on roy, we just let nature take it's course and let the media do it's job and let other people talk about it. >> when you say this story has hit alabama, it has hit alabama and mr. moore is sort of the poster boy for bad behavior in the state of alabama at the moment, how does this make the state of alabama look? >> well, obviously tavis, it's not good. it's never good when you're the butt of jokes, the state is the butt of jokes on all the late night talk shows and on saturday night live. you know, you can laugh at them, but for folks in alabama, you've also got to cringe a little bit, that once again sab not being put in a good light. and that's consist

the united states promoted private enterprise, innovation and industry.ther countries use government run industrial planning and state owned enterprises. we adhered to wto principles on protecting intellectual property and ensuring fair and equal market access. they engaged in product market dumping, currency manipulation and predatory practices. they ignore the rules to gain advantage over those who follow the rules causing enormous distortions in commerce and threatening the foundations of international trade itself. such practices, along with our collective failure to respond to them hurt many people in our country and also in other countries. jobs, factories and industries were stripped out of the united states and out of many countries in addition. many opportunities for mutually beneficial investments were lost because people could not trust the system. we can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses. we will not tolerate them. despite years of broken promises, we were told that someday soon, everyone would behave fairly and responsibly. people

to lower tax states? >> the deductibility across -- across states it would -- it would increase without thinking -- completely thinking through all of the state tax -- state taxes it would generally accentuate differences in effective marginal tax rates on income allocated to different states. so it could lead to some planning of future investments that would change across states, yes. >> so it could benefit states like florida and act to the detriment of states like new york and new jersey, for example? >> new york -- if you're taking new york as an example of a higher business tax state and florida a lower tax state that would be the thrust of the analysis. >> thank you, mr. barthold. i yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you. mr. carbello. does anyone wish to speak on the amendment. ? all those in favor signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> all of those opposed no. >> no. >> in the opinion of the chair the nos have it. pursuant to committee rule 19 for the proceedings on the amendment will be postponed. are

the state of israel. [applause] let me be clear on this important point, there is no daylight between the united states and israel on the critical importance of arresting the development of iran's arsenal and ending its sponsorship of rogue regimes. [applause] you know the president is committed to seeking a peaceful resolution of the israeli .alestinian conflict but never in a way that ever jeopardizes the security of the state of israel. the president recognizes the that judeoportance and samaria would never become another failed experiment like we saw in the gaza strip. the president knows judeo and samaria are not situated next to finland or costa rica. perhaps most importantly, you will never hear the president make the case, as his predecessor did, that there is some symmetrical relationship between, let's say, building a house in a samaria and village -- a samaria and village -- a samarian village and -- --re is no equivelance no equivalence whatsoever. moveresident intends to the united states emb

the blockading states have been trying to twist the truth. with a scheme to flood the media with lies. about my country. but now over the past six months the truth is surfacing. little did we know that behind the scenes the efforts of the blockading states are deeperment cyber attacks, market manipulation and the plots of --. the disrespect of international law and the absence of enforcement mechanism made the region an experimental field for the power seekers adventures. regional players are acting irresponsibly. taking political gamble with the lives of other nations citizens. with no exit strategy. not even with aid for starve lg children is used as a leverage. while the atrocities of syria are being tolerated and in the same way that yemen is being put in a meaningless stalemate, now these powers makes their attempt in lebanon. the systemic behavior, a reckless pattern for seeking power. with a complete disregard for the suffering left in the wake. that suffering includes lost opportunities, in the war against terror. the black kading sta

we are going to be an inclusive state and not a divisive state.ot so much against kristi or any other republican, it is that we are going to move forward and be an inclusive state. host: one last call, this is joe. fredericksburg, virginia. caller: hi, first-time caller, first time listener, i was riding home from d.c.. i wanted to say that although i have a trump supporter, i was kind of looking forward to north from's message -- northra m's message. that got trouble elected was that we have to get away from the establishment republicans, as in the people in charge don't have the best interests at heart and eyes -- and i just wanted to say that. i think he will be able to bring us closer together and unite virginia. host: rob wittman, the representative from the fredericksburg area is going to be on this program, later on, to talk about the governor's race amongst other things. hopefully you will stay tuned for that. that is it for this set of calls. coming up, we'll hear from democratic -- democratic representative john garamendi about the presi

a movement among certain states in the united states for them to penalize anybody who's sending a us movement when did this start to happen to state legislation told i'll come back to you because i know you are very relevant to this as well i just want to just baby step our way through this. when did this start to happen when did state start to have anti b.d.s. legislation. well we originally saw anti p.t.s. legislation after the american studies association passed an academic boycott resolution in two thousand and fourteen since then we've seen twenty three states now actually enacting this kind of legislation and the fact is that the legislation . look to kansas for instance each each state has slight differences but there the legislation imposes blacklists they are actually having states looking at people's political speech to dermott to turn to determine whether or not they boycott is some states have requirements that people who contract with the state certify that they don't boycott israel this is an ideological litmus test on state benefits i said we're talking about as i said

is anti semitic i believe its goal is the eradication of the state of israel the one jewish state in the world but i really don't want to focus on that in this discussion i want to focus on the legislation which there are too many missed statements going on here with the legislation let me talk about new jersey's legislation which i was primarily involved with new jersey's pension funds contain about seventy five billion dollars worth of assets the trade relationship between the state in new jersey and the state of israel has averaged one point three to one point five billion dollars over the last seven or eight years there is a fundamental economic basis and rationale for the state of new jersey to want to know that companies that want to receive investments from the new jersey pension funds are not boycotting one in new jersey's most reliable and valuable trading partners there's an economic reason and rationale for it and that's what the legislation is based on the legislation does not prohibit any free speech i may disagree with demon and josh on what goes on in in israel or what

arab states?>> it is in the interest of u.s. and israel, in my judgment, to build on those relations and encourage of them. and if you may give me one more sentence on that issue, the principal factor affecting the sunni arab world is what you do with iran. that is, i -- >> you would agree, i take it you would agree with ambassador bolton that we should rip up that iran nuclear deal? >> no, i think you should upgrade it. i think you should take out the flaws and come up with a better agreement. [talking over each other] >> i don't have a little time. ambassador bolton, i just would ask you a question. is it your view that at the present time the holy sites in jerusalem our secure with the israeli security system? >> well, i think they are as secure as they can be under the circumstances. i would like. [talking over each other] >> wrong and accepting the recommendation of king abdullah if that's what he said and if that's what the the president. >> i appreciate your candor. >> i couldn't wait. >> l

i think we can do better and we pledge to work with our state high tax state lawmakers to do exactly that. >> maria: you're saying there is potential you will make changes to meet the president's deadline obviously his priority is getting this done this year. here is what he told me a couple weeks ago mr. chairman watch this. >> tell us where we stand on the tax plan right now? >> president trump: there's a great spirit for it people want to see it and i call it tax cuts so it is tax reform also but i call it tax cuts. it will be the biggest cuts ever in the history of this country, and i think that there's tremendous appetite, there's tremendous spirit for it not only by the people we're dealing within congress but for the people out there that want to see something. >> maria: and yet, he wants that on his desk by the end of the year. you think you can do that even though senators like ron johnson have an issue. he wants change in terms of the corporate rates, the business rates. >> yeah, so maria i believe we can. i predict we will have a new tax code for the new year and for a new

any attack on a member nato state will trigger article 5 and the united states will be the first to honor the commitment we have made. we will never forget our nato members came quickly to stand with us after the september 11 attack and we will do the same for them if they are attacked. while the west continues to seek a productive new relationship with post-soviet russia, thus far it has proved elusive as both attempts by the prior administration to re-set the russia and u.s. relationships have been followed by russia invading georgia in 2008 and ukraine in 2014. russia continues aggressive behavior toward other neighbors by interfering in election processes and promoting nondemocratic ideals. we recognize the active threat of the resurgent russia. that is why the united states has strengthened its deterrence and defense commitments in europe ue the e.d.i. the administration requested $4.8 billion in its budget towards the e.d.i. this increase of $1.4 billion over the previous year will enhance the u.s. military's deterrence and defense capabilities and improve the readiness of our force

and is a massive transfer of wealth from states that are primarily donor states like the state of connecticut, like the state of new jersey and massachusetts and new york and california and maryland and oregon and washington state. and so, within those states, you are even dividing like in the state of pennsylvania, sections of that state against one another. a house divided cannot stand. and your senate colleagues will make sure of that. you're being asked by your leadership to carry forward a bill that the senate will never take up. further, i would like to draw your attention also to an article in "the atlantic" which states are givers and which states are takers. i said yesterday, and i mean this sincerely, connecticut is proud to be a donor state. because we're part of the united states of america. we receive $8 billion less than what we pay into the federal government. we do that proudly because we understand there are problems in other states. we understand that whether it's south carolina or pennsylvania or any state, that people understand that there's a need to fund a military. ther

states. we are at a point very close to a go, no go decision on the use of military force. otherwise we will face north korea with nuclear weapons as far as the eye can see. >> the secretary of state gave a press briefing after the sessions in china and what he said was there is no difference between the united states and china on north korea in terms of goals. and yet if you looked at south korea before the visit, the new president of south korea, the new government which is left-leaning basically agreed with china to not deploy new antimissile batteries in the peninsula in the future and was a chinese demand. and we see evidence that our core outline there. the one we are protecting has been moving towards china's position on what you can deploy militarily on the peninsula. >> i think the best news about south korea is that it is politically very divided. in facts right before the trip they called on the united states to deploy tactical nuclear weapons for the first time in several decades.

the state of israel. yet, they are the one country where we won't put the embassy where it should be. in particular, you look at what we went through in the last eight years with the previous administration at what happened with united nations last few months of that administration, this is the right time to do this thing. that is why the president recognize the campaign on that and that is one of the reason american people like him, do you think that is right ambassador bolton? >> i think it is. >> alledge just get it done. let's just get it done, all right? [applause] >> i am an entirely persuaded. [laughter] >> that's what i thought, that's why ask you. i think most of the panel butts up. i want to thank all of you came here, most importantly the president of the united states he said, this is the right thing to do, the time is now, particularly after what we went through in the last eight years. let's get it there as quickly as possible. i know there are practical concerns. investor gold outline them.

for the very first time is emerging in the modern era a muslim state that can tell christian states where to stop which it had done that was the achievement of attitude so i think for the republicans the turkish national pride in the consolidation of the national consciousness is bound up from the start with this sense of having done something that the ottomans for several centuries had been able to do which is to hold western power. at the same time as becoming west. after the first world war the nation state asserted itself but what was to be done about minority ethnic groups. greece and the newly established turkish republic opted for a radical solution. starting in one thousand nine hundred twenty four five hundred thousand muslims were expelled from greece and almost a million greek orthodox christians from taki. entire villages were abandoned centuries of coexistence and shared history were over the ottoman empire was finished for good. examples to put ok if i think every employer is by definition too big. too big and saw as and also in composition. an empire can exist as long as no

i have often said that being appointed the united states ambassador to the state of israel is the greatest honor of my life. , the nation ofes my birth, the nation of my citizenship is simply the greatest and most successful experiment in self evidence that the world has ever seen. for the jewish people, with very exceptions,ortunate the united states has offered safe haven and boundless opportunity like nowhere else in the history of the diaspora. israel is the nation of my faith. it is the land of the holy bible. it is where jewish history began, and where jewish history continues to be made each and democracyas the only in america's closest ally in the middle east. american need ever apologize for loving israel and urging our government to support it. israel is a quintessential american value. having the mandate from the president to strengthen the relationship between israel and the united states is the opportunity of a lifetime and the date is not go by where i do histhink god and seek guidance regarding this extraordinary mission. heelse into office on the betrayal ofest israel by a

but it is not only a state-by-state thing, it is also unfair within the state. imagine just for a quick example, 2 families that are very, very similar, but they have to live on different sides of the boundary. one in a relatively rural township, the other nearby in an abutting borough or city. their financial circumstances are the same. the borough provides more services. it picks up the trash and it picks up leaves, for instance. and it charges more in taxes for that. meanwhile, on the township side, the person who lives there and has to go and sign a contract -- you have to pay a company to come and take your trash and you have to pay another company to take your leaves. the latter is not deductible. why should you be able to deduct the exact same cost for the exacting service just because it is paid through the municipality? it is not fair. it is not fair at the state level, but it is also not fair within a state. i think the fairest way is to end the election and that people decide how much they want to pay in state and local taxes as determined through the

a small state. it doesn't amount to that much. but the numbers were impressive so we wanted to put together a book where people in the state answered the question, what do we do now? charge? in my view, against most of the valleys and characteristics that vermonters have.

is resolutely hostile to united states interests, that the united states is behind the coup and support for ypg, i think is a more legitimate cause tore complaint, this will lead to a rupture of u.s.-turkish relations and lead them to a desperate search for allies and they have to make do with russia and iran. i think its first choice stays in nato where it gets the benefits of cooperation with the west. given the deep anger and paranoia, whether that rational prevails remains to be seen. >> on what you just laid out, nick, erdogan has gone to tehran and said tehran is my second home he has at times been in an up and down policy and has brother affection for the iranian regime or i need to find somebody other than the united states to work with. what do you think? >> we kraipt a few years ago on a study honored wan's foreign policy. it talks about the oscillation of ideas where he was very much building on this idea we can work jointly with iran. it now seems to be going back out of necessity to a different approach to iran again. there is this thing, me against my brother and my brothe

our nation's gun laws are a patchwork, varying from state to state, and requiring the diligence of manyferent agencies and officials. william brangham is back with a explanation of this complicated legal landscape. >> brangham: in the united states, the settlement gives citizens entered right to keep and bear arms. the supreme court has several times affirm this fact, but there are some legal restrictions on who can purchase or keep guns. under federal law to buy a gun from a licensed dealer, you have to be 21 to get handgun and 18 to get a rifle or shotgun. your name must be checked in a background check system. federal and state laws designate four main categories that restrict your ability to get a gun -- committing a violent crime, known drug or alcohol abuse, or crimes committed when you were a juvenile. these are all things that would show up in that background check. these restrictions might seem obvious, but not every at the present time has these rules and not every state enforces the laws in the same way. for example, in 23 states and washington, d.c., you can't have a gun if

his state gets money from the donor states across the country. we need to make sure you keep that in perspective as well. california is a big donor state. take away tax opportunities for constituents and many of the states represented, what happens is we pay more and get back class. that's not incredibly fair at all. ever talk about fairness in this tax bill. we want to see fair tax reform that helps the middle-class working families and works from the middle-class out. this bill does the opposite and as 2.3 trillion toward debt. . . . . >> the typical family and all of the congressional districts represented in the typical family no country. statistics show there is relief for every american family. the median american family that we all represent your. my colleague Ãabout $2200 per family and a lot of benefits to those that do not itemize the low and middle income americans approximately two thirds in his district and if we go down list we will see the same in every district represented on the committee and in every district in our country. als

ok so sky in this report it calls rakhine state a crime scene you have been to rakhine state what have you seen there. yeah and specifically in these i.d.p. camps internally displaced persons camps we went to them several times multiple times and in the way that they're described in this amnesty report is accurate based on what we can confirm and that is when you go into these camps there is a fence there is a border check when you go in and those who are inside put inside can't leave freely there's no freedom of movement and this is something that has been the case for definitely two years as detailed in this report and i can attest to that at least for the last year and a half running and what's interesting too is that over that year and a half that have been going into these camps the numbers have been growing steadily to you know there were a hinge of villages peppered throughout and i'm speaking specifically around the sit way area the capital of rakhine state and when there are other attacks before this august twenty fifth attack more revenge or rounded up and put into these id p

state and governments. -- state governments. controllednments voter processes. after the end of reconstruction, a point we will get to next week, state governments create elaborate structures that deny access to the suffrage on the basis of race. way citizenship also becomes a social practice. what else? who else doesn't have access to suffrage? thank you. roughly half the population. emphasizede have this semester, especially in the period after the declaration of independence in the constitution is that citizenship is proceeding in two different directions at once. at one point, it is proceeding in a direction whereby all citizens are supposed to be uniform, with equal rights, they are supposed to be similar to each other, it does not matter which state you live in because all states are equal to each other. same time that citizenship is limited, is different, and is experienced differently i merrily as a result of race and gender -- primarily as a result of race and gender. it is also not just what rights citizens had in the decades surrounding the civil war,

of the united states. we particularly like that one. [laughter] mr. mcgahn: article three says the judicial power should be invested in one supreme court and in such inferior courts that the congress may ordain and establish. sitdoes the leviathan within the system? many in this room say it does not. the problem is not many a form that the constitutional objection, the ever-growing administrative state is a direct threat to individual liberty. it is well documented that the previous administration had one of the worst records before the supreme court in american history. several losses were before a unanimous court. in many cases, that is because its agencies were farseeing in their statutory and constitutional authority. they were directly intruding on individual rights. look at some of the most important cases the supreme court decided in recent years. little sisters of the poor. rose outs out -- those of administrative actions. they were not in the statue. -- not in the statute. the department of health

article two states the executive power shall be invested in a president of the united states. that one.arly like the judicial power shall be invested in one supreme court. how does the modern administrator that in this system? many fail debt -- many say it does not. administrativeg state is a direct threat to individual liberty. the previous a administration had one of the worst records before the supreme court in american history. several losses were before at a unanimous court. in doing so they were intruding on individual races. those rose out of administrative action but the department of health and human services through regulation. the court rejected the agricultural department requirement at breezes former set-aside aside crops for government use without just compensation. the government's attorney just standardwas regulation. the supreme court fortunately disagreed. now we can all have reasons. the court invalidated a regulation that opposed $10 billion in cost per year. it was on the table versus eeoc. the supreme court unanimously disagreed. they demonstrate how seve

you have the secretary of state the secretary of defense to chairman of the chiefs of staff. i believe even mcmaster all recognizing that it lies in the interest of the united states to continue with the nuclear deal they may have some concerns about certain aspects of it but that does not mean that a complete target of the deal or killing of it is in the interests of the u.s. this is entirely driven by trump himself and his motivations are not entirely clear there are a couple of contending factors they may be mutually may not be mutually exclusive such as the fact that he simply opposes anything that obama has achieved and as a result he is adamantly against this nuclear deal for no other reason that it has obama's name on it you have the israeli and the saudi factor again the saudis and the israelis want denied states to come back into the region as a strong military dominant military power and reestablish the balance of power that existed in the region prior to two thousand and three necessitates no diplomacy with iran no deal with iran because any deal with iran would ac
