[laughter] and he gave way over czechoslovakia because he thought it was right to give way over czechoslovakia, and because he knew that nobody in britain -- still less anybody in france -- was prepared to go to war in 1938 to save czechoslovakia. inadvisedly, once that had happened and chamberlain became a world class hero, "the new york times" lavished praise on him for saving us all from war in 1938, he gave an uncautious guarantee to poland to protect them if they were attacked by germany even though it was already apparent that poland was theen next place on hitler's li. and hitler was convinced that chamberlain would never go to war if he attacked poland. he said once in between discussions in 1938, political discussions in munich, chamberlain attempted the make small talk with hitler by talking to him about try fly fishing, a major interest of neville chamberlain's and not something about which hitler knew anything or cared. [laughter] and he came back from that meeting saying i know these people now. they're spineless worms. worms in his mind because of their natural connotation with f

like secretary knows so well, a country that also doesn't exist in its current name, that was czechoslovakia. if those countries that were caught between the old soviet union and nato, europe, the european union -- they didn't a commitment from the united states and to nato to help them as they go forward. a lot of bad things would happen there. and he kept pointing to -- as aia as an into lesson that we had to learn. i think was very interesting is that he had, in fact, studied what happened after the end of world war ii when half of europe was against us and put behind the iron curtain. the creation of nato and the other various aspects. one of think is interesting is that he also appreciated something that he hadn't thought of. at the end of the cold war, the u.s. was asked to do something that hasn't been done before. which is to devolve the power of your major adversary without a land war. the question is how to bring russia into the system. strom was in charge of our relationship with russia. , talking aboutrk the reunification of germany. into a system. it was a very step-by-step proc

he has never been to czechoslovakia and have no dealings with this people.f hearsay and gossip in a report. to have a major investigation come out of gossip, it is very bizarre. of course, chris, if we believe what is in michael wolff's group, steve bannon thinks the meetings between donald junior and the russians was treasonous. that aside, is it easier, with bannon out of the way, for the president to reach across the aisle and start to do some deals? well, i disagree with steve's treasonous, i don't think was not the way the meeting went down, but i think most campaigns would have taken the meeting in some shape or form. campaigns would have taken the meeting in some shape orform. i don't think it was treasonous. i think bannon was a weight on the president and was preventing him from moving to the centre. i believe the president's success and importance for the united states is that he moved to the centre of things like immigration, infrastructure, education, even national security issues. i think the donald trump i have known, i met him 20 years ago, wi

became a model democracy by the 30's, it did so not because american troops occupied czechoslovakia but because the checks and the slovaks were able to work it out among themselves. in short, if you don't look at the character of the people you are saying you are -- you're going to democratize, you'll get into trouble. this is what happened in iraq, do you know these people really thought the democracy was going to spring out in iraq? anybody who looks or has any background in the area would have said this is an absurd belief and i can document that it was a real belief, i know it's some of your thinking, your thinking that this was all emphasized, this was a facade over something else, it was the weapons of mass destruction, it was not the weapons of mass destruction. in, this was clued the calling card. there are other arguments that were persuasive. for example, george bush wanted to show his father george h.w. bush that he could do something right. or that there was a lot of oil there and we could beat opec if we got a hold of that oil or look at the strategic position of iraq, it t

and today it's vaclav havel, president of czechoslovakia. and one year ago, erich honecker of east germany claimed history as his guide, and he predicted the berlin wall would last another hundred years. and today, less than 1 year later, it's the wall that's history. [applause] remarkable events -- events that fulfill the long-held hopes of the american people; events that validate the longstanding goals of american policy, a policy based on a single, shining principle: the cause of freedom. america, not just the nation but an idea, alive in the minds of people everywhere. as this new world takes shape, america stands at the center of a widening circle of freedom -- today, tomorrow, and into the next century. our nation is the enduring dream of every immigrant who ever set foot on these shores, and the millions still struggling to be free. this nation, this idea called america, was and always will be a new world -- our new world. at a workers' rally, in a place called branik on the outskirts of prague, the idea called america is alive. a wo

egypt signed this huge arms deal with czechoslovakia which was actually the soviet union.to slovakia was supposed to supply egypt with two hundred aircraft. conks. thousand. it was something fabulous. in november one thousand nine hundred fifty five bangor in began a second term as israel's prime minister. at the top of his agenda was how to respond to the growing strength of egypt now armed to the teeth. eight months later the opportunity came. when nasa announced the nationalisation of the suez canal. a decision that outraged the british and french the owners of the international canal company. it is a matter of life under george will. our quarrel is not with it still nationally out of work. it is with colonel not. that he is not a man who can be trusted. under green. britain and france were convinced that military intervention would be needed to recapture the canal. and bring down the upstart. but to pretext was needed. for us. nor was it a threat again. to assert our eally gaiman was our i thought home with very up. the whole other assess him on how your club will mean

turns out he has never been to czechoslovakia in his life, never met with any soviet operatives.some allegations his wife was involved with russia. fact is she left ukraine 40 years ago and never set foot in russia. and interestingly enough at the hearing we had michael cohen for eight hours testifying before our committee. the only time we thought maybe he was in trouble they found reference to michael cohen and hacking. we thought it must involve the democratic national committee. turned out he was involved in a taxi cab business years ago in new york hackers are a terms for a taxi cab. there is nothing in that dossier that proves anything. there is nothing significant at all that's been verified. to this day the powers i know and i've been in most of the meetings, there hasn't been one instance showing any collusion whatsoever with the donald trump campaign and russia, nothing at all. >> sandra: i want to share with our audience one of the unverified claims in all of this. simpson's attorney saying quote, he wants to be very careful to protect his sources. attorney josh levy s

the country for more than five years. (202) 748-8000 i came -- caller: i came here in 1982 from czechoslovakia. i waited in germany for a year. i apply for a visa and got a visa and came here. i found a job within a month or so, and then i started my own business after five years. so this country has been very good to me. and i appreciate it. .hat is my story, basically i got married, raised a family. now i hope to retire. my comment is that i think this country is going in the wrong direction. there is less and less democracy. i came here basically because i lived in a totalitarian, communist system and i am now seeing this country being turned into a different kind of totalitarian system. .t is basically a plutocracy only two parties are allowed to participate in the political process. everything is controlled by money. so what i would like to see is a multiparty system, similar to what exists in european countries. i would like to get rid of the electoral college, because if the guy who comes in as number two wins in the end, and that happened twice already since 2000, how can you possibly

. >> czechoslovakia. >> the first name, jerrick; more common than the sir name, 80% have it as a first name, just 20% use it as you do. the origin is american, of course. the meaning of jerrick, strong or gifted ruler. so that applies to our show. you are strong and you are gifted. and you do rule good day with a iron fist. by the way, if you ever had to rhyme your name like rhymes with derrick, frederick, rodrick, limerick, maverick, business quick, brunswick, derrick, fer i can, his tariq, generic, and clear glike cleric. that is my password, business quick. >> oh, is it? >> not bosco but which is quick. >> you love biscuits. >> mike, free april, could be with the eagles and could you adopt him. >> i would love to. >> his name would be jerrick jerrick. >> i've been following his career because every his first name jerrick. but i'll tell heart-warming story after young manny man with a first name jerrick. that will will be later on in the show. >> okay. >> heartwarming to me. >> what a tease. we can't wait to hear. >> yes. so facetious. >> did he adopt you? he is the one making nfl mo

poland, czechoslovakia, hungary, one more powers back.e ones -- manus: i don't know that anybody could replace britain. >> they are causing more asked -- angst. saying, this is the way to go. step in line. manus: a percent in equities return on the stock market was not barnstorming. 68 participants in our whisper about a 4% gain. and about 6.5% in 2017. given the political backdrop, do you think we will get more out of that? at all the major indices, they are doing really well. if you look at the ftse local, just though u.k. stuff, you find all the domestic stocks have been flattened by that. why? we're back to the brexit argument. you have to split it up to see with a good performance has been. you have to break it up into its constituent parts. manus: if we circle back to the this is the euro dollar over the past year. you can see this constant trajectory for the euro. again, we look at where will we go in 2019. if you look at the political backdrop between macro and merkel, you got the strongest growth in the past 10 years. does that a

it's these kinds of ideas that give lands to czechoslovakia. the understanding that the goals that you want in states, the things you want them to do are, in fact, mutually incompatible and that no matter what you do, one of those three things is going to suffer even if you can get the people who are actually living there to agree to live under these states. now one guy who immediately saw the problem was this man tasker blitz for whom the building attached to my building is named and i'm very glad that it is. the blitz was a pennsylvaniaion which i also have to give two thumbs up too. educated at buck nell and educated at west point. william lynn westerman called him the ablist man in europe and the one commissioner who will really study and study hard to make himself acquainted with what he must know. now when bliss was feeling stressed out, he would pour himself a glass of whiskey and he would read articles in the original greek. bliss understood immediately that some of the core presumptions under which the united states was operating were

remember, the munich pact in 1948 when i chamberlain and britain and france hand hitler a piece of czechoslovakia with no compensation. there are atleast episodes before . but now we are in august 1969. all during the hitler stalin pact negotiations stalin is at war with japan. that's these station studies so those are usually in different books from the hitler stalin pact which is european. onceagain, the compartmentalization process . so he's at war against a very substantial army, the japanese army on the borderlands of mongolia, there's the japanese have conquered manchuria, created a puppet state. in the earlier part of the 30s so that's happening and now he's negotiating with hitler. so he reads up. they have a translation of mine, internally produced for the regime. stalin has an eight take care of this,delivers the mein kampf translation so he's underlining with those colored pencils , underlining . some humans. the underlying fact. it says drive to the east. he underlines that. you start to get the impression that he got something out of mein kampf. and he got the point. but that book is

, to understand with stalin, the russians, stalin lives up to that in 1948 then he moves into czechoslovakiathat is part of the cold war story. there's very little they could do, they tried the best they could to ameliorate the situation but it was a tough situation the polls found themselves in in which they probably contributed. >> some have argued roosevelt's failure was not in the agreement that yalta but his failure to prepare the american people for what the likely results would be. roosevelt himself is kind of this unique combination of a real estate idealist. he understood he had no real control over the future of poland and is the other gentleman pointed out he got other conceptions that are more important. roosevelt never prepared the american people for those likely results and as a result the american people i disillusioned by evens in poland and greece where the british were reimposing the monarchy and various other things. and enlightening what he understood was more likely to look like? >> in a way, roosevelt understood he was ill but wasn't expecting to die when he did. there

it gives the land to czechoslovakia.the things you want them to do our mutually compatible one of those things will suffer even if you can get the people living there to agree to live under the states so pastor he was a pennsylvanian which i have to give two thumbs up to. they call them the ablest man in europe and the wine commission who will really study to make him make pointed to what she must know. i advise all city officers to be doing. he understood immediately that some of the core presumptions one of which is the american people would commit their treasure to force in whatever agreement can tell their side. wilson paid almost no attention at the paris conference. and i think he got this is close to right as anybody that was there. each country got five representatives they wanted to insult his senior general so he put it six on the list of five. he said that the summers nations are coming to the surface. as soon as they. they fly in someone's throat. they're vicious from the moment of their birth. just because t

we have seen a rise of similar parties and politicians in sweden and austria and czechoslovakia, poland, hungary, and so forth. doingught western leaders to better manage the challenges posed by the graphic change and migration patterns? mr. shultz: i should think the first effort would be to do everything we can to see that the places that people are coming from are made more habitable say it -- so they do not leave. we have lots of things we could do that would a commerce that, i think. but then we have to reflect on our own case how beneficial immigration has been for this -- country.nt i would do a session in san francisco the other night where we were celebrating our old mint there and it was alexander hamilton's birthday, and we were talking about how wonderful alexander hamilton was as are for secretary of treasury. hamilton was an immigrant. einstein was an immigrant. we benefited greatly. i daresay anybody -- everybody in this room is an immigrant or a descendent of one. we need to be looking carefully at our borders and have a a sensible immigration policy. and people in these

i escaped czechoslovakia in 1969 after the russian invasion. thing that i would like to say, everybody is talking about things that are not really relevant to this immigration. and is good over here divorce is fine and so on and so forth. the point is law and order. austria.prison in i was for four months locked up in a refugee camp. then i went for my physical at the u.s. embassy. first i had to pass a physical. the secondthen i went for my pht the u.s. time i had to pass my .motional state and i received political asylum. at the same time i will serve two years in the u.s. army. i served 71 to 73 during which time i received my citizen paper. after that i came back. went to school. finished my schooling. and for the past 45 years i was paying taxes and was a productive member of the society. id for the past 45so what we ns understand everything. point is it is responsibility of our congress to put the law back in order. it wasn't that long ago 1969 when i came in under the proper sequence. host: do you think the idea of to serveme immigrants

(202) 748-8000 i came -- caller: i came here in 1982 from czechoslovakiai waited in germany for a year. i apply for a visa and got a visa and came here. i found a job within a month or so, and then i started my own business after five years. so this country has been very good to me. and i appreciate it. .hat is my story, basically i got married, raised a family. now i hope to retire. my comment is that i think this country is going in the wrong direction. there is less and less democracy. i came here basically because i lived in a totalitarian, communist system and i am now seeing this country being turned into a different kind of totalitarian system. .t is basically a plutocracy only two parties are allowed to participate in the political process. everything is controlled by money. so what i would like to see is a multiparty system, similar to what exists in european countries. i would like to get rid of the electoral college, because if the guy who comes in as number two wins in the end, and that happened twice already since 2000, how can you possibly ca
