contrast that with a deck of you taking place in france where the revolutionaries talk about the people of the united front, democracy is an expression of the people. we need to identify the general will of the people is coherent and united conception of a nation so if you look at these two polls, france represents the paradigm of a nationstate in the revolution and the united states are present something different. we talk about it as a republic but what was he imagining. the images of the state, were not very wide, there was the idea of an empire. that was the dominant view of the state at the time. jefferson called his vision of the united states and empire of liberty. they acquired the louisiana purchase, jefferson didn't seem to care if the new territories were organized within the united states or if they were organized in separate states, he envisioned an empire on the continent. not necessarily a nationstate with a united people. of course they talked more about the union. union with the idea, union of the states developing a sacred view, sacred image as time went on. webster talked about tha

organized as separate states so long as they were republic he envisioned an empire not only with the united people. now of course they talk about the union and that was the idea. sacred image was time and when dean talked about that. the united states was forged into a nationstate that took place between each and 60 to 1945. those were communal events and everybody participated and sacrificed. they created a nationstate on kind of a united people. if one were to look at the development taking place since world war ii one could see a continuation of the american nationstate that was assembled. it was great stress and greater difficulty that through the course of the events, the united states as a nationstat is a nata image of itself. we intervened in the european war and save them from themselves until they are the great superpower in the world we have this version of the american nation. some would give more and more to look less like a nationstate and more like an empire with a powerful administrative center with an attenuated relationship with all the groups across the country nothing uniting th

that, what we just saw, what you just told us about, you wonder, houmd of these united states senators, especially people like tom cotton, how many united states members of the congress, house of representatives, how many of them have ever been to a citizenship ceremony? and watch people literally in tears, of joy, becoming united states citizens? >> make the cheap point here, which is that i would take any panel of recent african or mexican immigrants, put them in a room and give them a civics test against the president of the united states. and i know which side i would be betting on in that battle. the more important thing here is the politics of this. reince priebus, back at the beginning of the 2016 cycle when he was at the rnc did this report that said the republican party is on a path to irrelevance if it can't get right with the rising sectors of the american electorate. donald trump comes along and threw cold water in the face of reince priebus and everybody else who believed that and

is helping political meddling, especially from russia, detrimental to health, to something that unites peopleon. u nfortu nately was the initial intention. unfortunately he has been used of city by and doing nothing. the question is, what can he do about it? there are many complicated algorithms invented by people like him and the people he has employed it needs to have a bit of political will and devote more time and resources , will and devote more time and resources, because he hasn't done enough and governments are on his case. is he actuallyjust trying to implement government intervention? do you think it is too late to try to change things? it is still the wild west and if people can stream suicides and things. if it is detrimental to people's mental health than the positive brand of that, facebook, twitter and the others, is going to change and it may have reached its peak now, facebook, as well. let's have a look at the last paper. this is the new york times. this is of course about fukushima, the region ofjapan that was so fukushima, the region ofjapan that was so devastatingly hit b

that is simply not true, but it's true that they have a very long street as one united people. divergent, bute that has been a recent development. they look at the long path they've had together as proof that in the future we can reunify. how exactly would that happen? that very much remains to be seen. it's not clear how that would happen. the official plan is for a confederation, a loose confederation between the north and the south. while they try to work out the very sticky details of how you unify the state. it is practically impossible as long as the kim regime is in power in the north. therotect the partition, united states has had troops there since the end of the conflict. how many troops do we have on the ground today? how many are from the south? >> there's about 28,000 troops on the korean peninsula right now. they are under a concentration program right now. the next few years, they will be re-concentrated into one large base south of seoul. they were a tripwire force. any invasion of the south by the anrth would guarantee in american entrance immediately into the

nation to set aside its differences and to unify i say it is time for us to come together as one united people we may have our differences we are strongest when we are unified but it seems that divides are already too deep. immediately after the election vicious protests broke out nationwide with america being split into two camps angry liberals eager to denounce the trump was not their president came face to face with trump supporters ready to defend their choice and america hasn't been given the slightest chance to unite with hate becoming the new norm promoted on all levels. what if for the incoming president was immediate successors were wiped out on day one. i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. now after it's rest to look just like strong as he sounds to me on stage. so within suggestion like this it's no wonder that. over the top again and again. the to those who used to be peaceful leftists morphed into the radical left not shying away from using violence just like their political opponents across the spectrum the situation has gotten so tense that people even b
