legacy of that today i think that there's a couple of reasons for that today i think for one the united states needs north korea as this kind of. presented as this threat in order to keep japan and south korea from uniting with china so part of it is about sort of keeping east asia divided another part of it is to justify u.s. presence in. in asia because i mean if you think about it right i mean what are u.s. troops what are you know what are all these warships doing in these seas in these waters that are you know quite far away from the united states the other thing i think is that you know north korea beat the united states in one thousand fifty three they force the united states to sign an armistice this tiny country. you know and beat you know the world's most powerful military and i think that that is i think that that is significant also i agree with all those points actually it was a great point. you know well educated right there and so i mean it really makes me wonder for peace and rebuilding on the korean peninsula you know what is what is the biggest roadblock at this point is a re

tell he would certainty, we are -- but i can tell you with certainty that illegal entry into the united states from this caravan will not be possible. third, the state department will continue to seek all relative facts and work with other nations to hold accountable those responsible for the killing of democracy. the administration is also taking appropriate actions now, given the information currently available to the united states. we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible, including those in the intelligence services, the foreign ministry and other saudi ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr. crusher of these deaths. khashoggi's deaths. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas and other measures. we are working with the treasury department to review the applicability of global magnitsky sanctions to those individuals. these penalties will not be the last word on this manner from the united states. we will explore additional measures to hold those responsible accountable. we are making very clear that the united states does not tol

in the united states. larry is correct in his fact that actually president obama started to use in russia so it wasn't just drum but it was a bomber who wanted to get out of these are an f. treaty if we will get why the united states wants to get out of it i think it's primarily against china that they want to have more capability just because if you look at their european situation it changed to russia's disadvantage in one thousand ages seven when the treaty was signed poor and czech republic. germany they were all part of the soviet walk and of course now these nations have governments which are very hostile to russia or they call russia of course their own nation we don't consider them hostile we never use that word but obviously a from a military point of view it would make sense for atia to have there are intermediate range missiles directed at these countries because for let me bring in let me bring in lawrence. over here on air which is a blind guy you're hearing there just what our guest is saying

to those who they say this is a hard hearted stance let's not forget that the united states is a historically generous nation when it comes to immigration where one million people per year are granted permanent legal status here in the united states over thirty three million people to total are currently here who have immigrated to this country illegally to those who want to come here come here legally illegal immigration is the surest way to obtain the better life you're looking for here in the united states of america from a security standpoint there is no proper accounting of who these individuals in the caravan are and this poses an unacceptable security rest to the united states moreover many of these people are right targets for human traffickers and others who would exploited them we don't want that to happen i've spoken twice in the last two days to my counterpart foreign secretary been a great we trust that mexico's leaders know what the best steps are to resolve this situation and we urge timely action on their part. united states also has a message for those who are

the united states. overlap as your good idea while also. you also sort of got it off the top it all group of dark or political gimmick sunday or every drop of oil where it is all.

purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice the united states will not sit idly by as baseless politicized claims are brought against is not the only withdrawal either today the us secretary of state has announced that the country is pulling out of the so-called friendship treaty with iran which was struck back in one thousand nine hundred five it's off to the un's highest court awarded washington to lift some of its sanctions on tehran a move which my pompei it says is a result of iranian propaganda. iran seeks to challenge the united states' decision to cease participation in the iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sanctions that were lifted as a part of that deal or as attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security. and iran is abusing that i suggest for political and propaganda purposes well that came after the ruling by the i.c.j. the international court of justice which ruled that the usa must lift some of the sanctions that are imposed on iran this

which was launched by the united states of america. that show is going back to 1962 when we collaborated on that particular project. today, and i've got a notes here, we have almost -- our history has almost 500 agreements in our history. and today we have agreements on 46 projects currently underway between the united states and canada. what a great relationship for such a long period of time. that had been important for science on -- for the entire planet. what nasa had done with the canadian space agency had been fantastic, one of the most important missions we have underway right now, is the mars curiosity rover. when i say it's one of the most important missions. since i've been the nasa administrator, some amazing discoveries have taken place. the idea that we have complex organic molecules on the surface of mars is now understood because of the mars curiosity rover. it's also understood that the methane cycles on mars are perfectly in lining with the seasons of mars. and these discoveries have been made really just since the las

people want to be back in the united states again. as i say, the united states is respected again. but it's also respected as to trade and industry. this is a truly extraordinary agreement for the united states, canada, and mexico. the mexico president, it's so important that the president and i have developed this sort of a bond. a bond on trade. pena nieto, a man that has done a very good job for mexico in terms of trade and prime minister trudeau who i just spoke to, just spoke to both of them a little while ago. they love their countries. they want to do right for their countries. that's what they've done, and if you look at the agreement, we formed a great partnership with mexico. and with canada. and i plan to sign the agreement by the end of november. by then we'll submit it for approval to congress where in theory there should be no trouble, but anything you submit to congress is trouble. no matter what. it's a single greatest agreement ever signed. they'll say well, you know, trump likes it, therefore, we're not going to approve it because that would be good for the republ

to interfere in the domestic policies of this country and to interfere in the politics of the united statesis chinese communist party rewarding or coercing american businesses, movie studios universities,, think tanks, scholars, journalists, and local, state, and federal officials, and worst of all, china has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence american public opinion, the 20th 18 elections, in the environment leading into the 2020 presidential elections. to put it bluntly, president trump's leadership is working, and china wants a different american president. there can be no doubt china is meddling in america's democracy. as president trump said just last week, we have in his words found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming midterm elections. our intelligence community says that china is targeting u.s., state, and local governments and officials to exploit any divisions between federal and local levels on policy. it is using wedge issues like trade tariffs to advance beijing's political influence. self circulated a sensitive document entitled "propaganda

and so when it came time to design the united states senate, since they were not believeres n one man statewide get two senators. the big states would get two and the tiny states would get two. i can understand why that would seem fair at the time. but they never dreamed there would one day be a state called california with the population almost the size of england and delaware would become even smaller in relative size to what it was then compare today the big states when it was a founding member of the united states of america. the population gap between the big states and the small states is bigger than ever and keeps getting bigger all the time. so the votes of new yorkers and californians become worth less every day in the united states senate compared to the votes of people in the dakotas or wyoming and most of the confederate states. and so the senate is now deeply undemocratic and getting worse every single day. people who live in countries that have never really pretended to be fully democratic don't feel the disappointment and sickness that americans feel when democracy so o

now the united states is rerespected. countries may not like what we do, but they respect what we do. amy: surprise announcement, nikki haley resigns as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. ding her tenure at the u.n., the u.s. pulled out of the paris, the court, the iran nuclear deal, and the u.n. human rights council, cut all funding to sanction threatened to judges on the international criminal court. we will speak with columbia university professor or she khalidi on nikki haley's time in ofoffice and what it means for e future of negotiations. we will also speak with the professor about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi, who is believed to have been killed inside t the saudi consulalate n turkey.. then we go to minnesota where a court has acquitted three anti-pipeline activists who broke into an oil pipeline facility intending to cut off ththe flow of tar sandss oil cog into the uniteted states from canada. >> what is lacking is the political will. if we can't get their attention through election

a citizen of the united states.uan: during that debate over the 14th amendment, because there are relatively small number of scholars who support this viewpoint of trump's that birthright citizenship has been incorrectly interpreted, but you and then in the debate, wasn't there a debate as to whether this amendment would extend to people who were the children born here of immigrants? >> immigrarants are notot what troubles congress s during the 14th amendment debate. what congrgress is concerneded t whenen it carvrves out a an excn for peopleeamendment not subject toto the jurisdictin of t the united states, w what congress is concerned about are three things. one, the children ofof foreigngn diplomats who might incidentally be born n in the united states, the 14th amendment does not make them birthright citizens. congress anticipates the possibility that the u.s. would be occupied by a a foreigngn ar. and in that case, the children of soldiers of a foreign armrm wowould not be birthright citizens, even if they were

china does not want to have a conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things onto china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military will be fully mobilized into action and that means china and the united states may really stare at each other each other's i and these two nuclear weapon ob the countries you are talking about a possible i'm a god i'm evolving mankind as a whole the view from beijing victor gao director of the china national association of international studies thank you for a full and frank interview this hour. the devastating conflict in yemen has long been regarded as the world's worst humanitarian crisis but it's a war that's bypassed nearly half of people in britain according to a new poll what makes that more alarming is that the u.k. is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the country waging the bombing campaign is probably political report. it's taken the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet acc

when great britain received him as president of the united states, even former president of the united states, the rest of the world treated him as such, looking to the way that queen victoria treated him. they did so accordingly. steve: what do we know about that meeting and how was the queen? prof. semmes: they had a dinner, grant and his wife were there, and their youngest son, jesse, was there as well, but he was not invited to dinner with the queen. he was supposed to have dinner with the house ladies. -- with the household. according to some sources, mrs. grant is upset by this. she thinks the staff means staff, but it means lower royals. she presses to invite him to dinner. eventually, queen victoria invites jesse to the dinner to avoid any mishaps. grant, queen victoria writes in her diary that he was "an agreeable american in that american way," and i'm not quite sure what she means by that, but she seemed to enjoy dinner with him. she did not have a high opinion of grant's wife, because of the way she noted on jesse. queen victoria was not one for doting on her children. lord

and then you lost an election as president of the united states. you lost an election in california. and today the republican party and the campaign manager is telling us about a new nixon. what is the difference between the new nixon and the old nixon? [laughter] >> mr. monroe, the new nixon is a little older. [laughter] >> he doesn't have quite as much hair as my wife points out from time to time up here. but on the other hand, i think perhaps the best answer to that question is that when an individual in politics, or in education or in the business of writing for newspapers, when he ceases to grow, when he ceases to change to meet the changing conditions, then you can be sure that he no longer is going to be living with the generation of which he is a part. i would have to say at this point, and i am proud of this, that over the past eight years, i have had a chance to travel through the world. i have had a chance to study the problems of the world, no, sir as a participant, but one sitting on the outside looking at them. i believe i found solut

republican, the house of representatives and we've got to expand the republican majority in the united statestor from the great state of indiana. i know mike, i worked with them back in the general assembly but i got to know him and his wonderful. when i was serving as your governor. married his high school sweetheart with, turned on, build a small business in indiana. transformed it to a big business. created hundreds of job in his hometown. along the way, i took care of his employees. treated them fairly. he gave health insurance that covered pre-existing conditions to his employees before washington d.c. ever started talking about it. in fact, after the tax cuts were signed at the end of last year, mike's company expanded, healthcare benefits, their employees and actually did a midyear tax bonus to his employees. putting the people who work for him first. [applause] mike is going to bring that. that principle conservative. agenda into the well of the united states senator. we need him. everything i just described, commitment to the agenda that hoosiers voted for in 2016, goes all the way.

it's time to send mike braun to the united states senate from the great state of indiana.ause] i mean, the choice in this election couldn't be more clear. the choice in this election couldn't be more clear the candidates for the united states senate that president trump and i are fighting for every day, real results for hoosiers, unprecedented obstruction in the united states senate, a choice between prosperity or progress, a choice of moving america forward are taking our country back. i mean, think about it. joe donnelly's party wants open abolish they want to ice, they want government run health care, they want social -- they want socialized medicine. his party repealed creating jobs and opportunity all across the state of indiana. the truth is, if his party takes charge on capitol hill, their entire agenda is to undo all of the progress that we've made in the last two years. but we are not going to let them. we are going to reelect and expand these republican majorities and we are going to send mike braun to washington d.c., am i right? [applause] now make no mistake a

look at the united states. we've been fighting the taliban for a long time, since 2002 in afghanistan. the same thing, we are still doing the isis campaign in iraq and syria. we started that counter-isis campaign about four, five months before arab coalitions went to yemen. almost kind of the same objective, isis grew out of control, and about to take on baghdad and everybody was -- decided to do something about it and establish coalition and we're still fighting the coalition. the same thing in the south. the houthi occupied -- took on sana and isis did not take on baghdad, but houthis did and established a coalition and they're still fighting against the houthis. it is, at this point, it's almost unconventional in there so it's a tough fight. but the military is still providing some space for politicians to sit down at the table and come up with some kind of resolution. but it's not working. so, yeah, it's -- it's a tough fight for the military. >> thank you. there's a question i just wanted to take the issue

i do believe that the united states has almost a unique position in history. they are a handful who have similar histories but we are the biggest country that has essentially been formed around an idea, principles and not on the basis of history or blood or soil. who we are is different. what i see happening now is a real identity crisis going on. in america. this notion that somehow we can protect ourselves against all threats when both heidi and scott talked about the notion of refugees as threats, the idea that you could possibly eliminate all risk in life is a kind of crazy idea when you think about it. none of us would be in this room today if we lived our lives that way. simply getting up in the morning and going out and stepping foot outside our house or even staying in our houses does not protect us from risk for an the important thing about the american idea is that we have a history of bringing people here from all parts of the world, the fact that we only had a formal reputation program doesn't mean we don't -- that we haven't been a refugee nation.

won out and this is the key misunderstanding between russia and the united states because russia does not believe it is in any wrongdoing that it isn't any wrongdoing and that it's not just the united states that abiding to the deal russia according to most schools is to work also according to john bolton he gave an example of the all of this i am deede treaty treaty the un to missile defense that kind of was a big thing back in the beginning of the two thousand of the two thousands and according to him everybody viewed that treaty as corn is still one to international stability and when the united states abandon their nothing really happened. i think it's also important to avoid some of the rhetoric of people who are comfortable with the treaty and what what it what the implications of us was rolled so if you take away the cornerstone the entire construct of international stability collapses it was not true was not true then it will not be true now with the withdraw from history. and again this is something that the united states and russia do not see eye to eye on because since

united states president. going. ahead. u.s. president donald trump has told reporters that the u.s. will. agreement with russia that. forces treaty was negotiated more than thirty years ago by president reagan and. gorbachev. with a five hundred fifty five hundred. russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years and i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate or pull out. that we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out of their weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we wanted to agree but russia's not fortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out let's go across the aisle to moscow where the correspondent. is standing by really good to see you know has russia reacted to. well the rest russia has taken trump's announcement very seriously various officials today have been warning of the danger of such a decision and of the serious consequences that it could have and several officials today including two heads of international aff

the national security advisor on that he defended those statements saying in fact that he the united states does not believe that the palestine is a state because it does not have independent control of its borders and an independent functioning government that is the u.s. argument obviously that does not bode well for a united states says it is trying to broker a peace plan one that is long awaited and still has yet to be released something national security advisor john bolton says will come into course but that gets us back to the question of the reaction of that ruling of the i.c.j. and of course the u.s. secretary of state by calm pay a very strong rejecting the decision of the court with respect to the u.s. plan to level sanctions against iran next month saying that they cannot level sanctions that would in some way impact the humanitarian needs of the iranian people and also aviation that in fact lead to another very strong statement about the united states' position of a nineteen fifty five friendship agreement with iran take a listen to that this is a decision frankly that is thirt

and particularly it made it almost impossible for two years for the united states and russia to make progress diplomatically so that's a huge loss to both countries but particularly to russia. so david is how you see where you are that the meddling the any thing that actually did coles if anything is to sow discord within the united states. you know i think it so discord more between russia and the united states the charges and countercharges then within the u.s. the u.s. has had discord for some time. i don't think that russia played much of a role has played much of a role in creating more discord within and among americans. but but then i would also say you know bolton is is not referring to all the meddling that the u.s. has done not just around the world but specifically in russia notably during the yeltsin campaign for a second term and i think that you know what would be the logical thing to do is say that since the u.s. has a history of meddling in russian elections and also in the ukraine which had a major impact on russia. that they should have negotiations to reach so

is simply saying let's bring that back to let's bring the manufacturing back to united states the tariffs frankly are not and then another themselves there are there a way to get the parties that have taken advantage of the united states and frankly those are taking advantage of canada as well back to the table to renegotiate a more fair deal this is not what the president wants he's a free trader his trade across our free trade. as you say the trump of ministration is a free trade administration why then. his own party republican speaker of the house paul ryan so opposed to the tariffs that he's imposed on i mean staunch allies canada the e.u. well i'll tell you why it's because you know the many establishment republicans are are giving a selling out so they're selling out to industry they're selling out the industry the same industry the same corporations that have built their empires on the backs of american labor that have been treated so unfairly american workers have been treated so unfairly and so a lot of individuals a lot of establishment republicans and many democrat

of america white supremacy exists in the united states of america and white supremacy is rising across the world in brazil with their recent elections we know there is a white supremacist vacuum that's going to be opened up with the departure of angela merkel so far ok say that there is white supremacy is just also and he has to be honest about this the president of the united states that i am a nationalist that has visceral reaction implications and i ended that anthony and his sorry guys we've run out of time thank you both hillary mérat one and i'm julie rajan right and thank you both for coming into the fight about it thank you two minutes a lying what do you. that's all i need for now sean thomas will take over the top of the hour with more but first they are naughty and well it's ati's peter lavelle interviewing alastair cook. i have the honor to once again the interview i was to croaky is a former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forums and of course we're going to discuss little leagues i was sure it's great to have you back in moscow and i think conti

my reading of what has happened in the united states is that the united states basically embarked on globalization on the cheap, and that is it opened markets, but did not provide that safety net to allow people to cope with the faster pace of change, because of technology, and because of trade, and it is very clear, you look at the numbers and the united states does not invest in what we call active labor market policy, does not invest in work force training. and it is true that we this huge economic shock, the global financial crisis, there are many, many who feel they are vulnerable and that's why they are going to respond this way. and we also know that protectionism can gain traction, politically, because it promises, you know, short-term gains, because the costs, you know, in terms of how much consumers pay, in terms of competitiveness, it takes longer to be realized, and it is harder to make the case for why free trade matters for the competitiveness and for the consumer welfare. and then people look at the popularity levels of the precedent. and they hear the president say in

do you want to go to the united states?heard that president trump doesn't want more people coming and he's even separated families who try to come? "what should we do now, then," she says? "i don't want to have the lives of my children further destroyed." >> bill weir joins us now from the mexican side of the border. what's going to happen to these people, what's the situation right now? >> reporter: that's a good question, anderson. they did, as i said, open up a trickle there. they were moving them three busloads at a time to a refugee camp. at the rate we're seeing, it will take days to get everybody off of that bridge. as you saw that, like marta, she's seeking asylum, a better place. others are trying to find a better life for themselves and their kids. but all of them, i've never seen anything like it, like people running from a burning people. what you missed there was there was tear gas, they had literally forced the gates open at one point but the federales forced them back, four officers according to secretary of

, and united states senator.here to carry on business as usual. he's here to deliver on president trump's commitment to make america safe. we at the department are fortunate for his leadership and for the example that he sets every day. so please join me in welcoming the 84th attorney general of the united states, jeff sessions. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. please. thank you all. thank you. thank you so much. very warming. thank you. a pleasure to be here. rod, thank you for your leadership and your kind words. and all the things that you do every day. the drive, the agenda of this department through the deputy and mary daly, thank you for being both our rights hands, i guess, on this subject, and we appreciate that very much. mary kind of controls how we focus and drive this agenda, and it's a very important thing. i would like to thank our acting associate attorney general, jesse panuccio, and beth williams and our panelists, who will be with us today and it's great to have a chanc

like we're north korea decided to talk to the united states and south korea at the north korean became a state also that sanctions were immediately imposed from day one of its existence it is an important factor but it is not the only one. but when the situation got really dicey at the end of last year and it felt like war was inevitable things suddenly began to change south korea never stopped trying to talk to the north and the people in chiang olympics allowed us to make significant progress so it was a good excuse and a good opportunity to sit down together thoughts and most of the bits and both countries came to an understanding during the storks which is north koreans also did not once and mrs chance to talk to us and then after the talks south korea's signals to the united states to china to russia and japan bits that there was progress to be made and that north korea was really in dialogue. and now we all see progress which means that it wasn't just the sanctions that made a difference korean leader kim jong un was educated in the west and he understands what is really importan

is simply saying let's bring this back to let's bring the manufacturing back to united states the tariffs frankly are not and then another themselves there are there a way to get the parties that have taken advantage of the united states and frankly those are taking advantage of canada as well back to the table to renegotiate a more fair deal this is not what the president wants is a free trade or has trade across our free trade. as you say the trump of ministration is a free trade administration why then. his own party republican speaker of the house paul ryan so opposed to the tariffs that he's imposed on i mean store generalized canada the e.u. well i'll tell you why it's because you know the many establishment republicans are are giving a selling out so they're selling out to industry they're selling out the industry the same industry the same corporations that have built their empires on the backs of american labor that have been treated so unfairly american workers have been treated so unfairly and so a lot of individuals a lot of establishment republicans and many democ

four thousand bases in the united states almost a thousand bases spread across every comment. the archipelago of empire the bases that we have around the world hidden in plain sight are the real territory of our empire but at the same time we maintain independent governments in japan or south korea or germany. they don't have autonomy when it comes to foreign policy so it's a very sophisticated and effective system. where whereby we pat ourselves on the back for helping to midwife democracy in japan and germany and south korea and various other places while keeping the lid on in that we don't know what these countries would do if they were fully independent and the beauty of this system is that most people pay no attention to it at all they think it's just a natural occurrence to have fifty thousand american troops and japan and there's no country that has better and i'm sure he'll credit credit then the united states and we are not trying to recreate the glories of. the british empire we're arguing that the world is round we have a global policy and. all nations have global r

a war, just to mention, that is not authorized by the united states congress. meanwhile, in the midst of massive military standing in the midst of a war that was not authorized, 30 million people in our country have no health insurance, tens of millions of people are living in dire poverty. we have an infrastructure of roads and bridges and water systems that are collapsing in hundreds of thousands of bright, young people in vermont and throughout the country are unable to afford to go to college. seems to me that the time is long overdue, not only for a serious discussion about our foreign policy but about our national priorities in general. today, i want to touch upon one trend, just one, a trend in global affairs that, in this country at least, gets far too little attention. that is there is currently a struggle of enormous consequence taking place in the united states and throughout the world. in it we see two competing visions for the future. on one hand we see a growing worldwide movement toward authoritarianism, toward oligarchy and autocracy. on the oth

united states i was diplomatic ties with saudi arabia of fostering the relationship whether it be through through oil through arms sales and turning a blind eye often to some of the things that the united states might certain points consider unsavory particularly with respect to human rights but what is happening now is making that very hard for the united states to do that given the fact that there is such a spotlight internationally and given the fact that americans are watching this story very closely we've had editorials taking up full pages of the national newspapers such as usa today we have ongoing protests here in the united states that were taking place not just in washington but in new york so this is certainly making it challenging for the trumpet ministration because in addition to all of that there are also members of congress who are putting this high on their radar republican members of congress the president's own political party saying that if these allegations are true this would certainly be a fundamental shift in the relationship that could have potentially economic co

truck drivers from across the united states have gathered together in washington d.c. to protest current regulations which they say were passed in the name of safety but evacuee done more harm than good organizers of the ten for protest said their mission is to bring truck drivers together to unite against regulations that help the large trucking companies but herd small companies and independent contractors the transportation industry the trucking specifically as a whole is heavily regulated by the federal government right so we have a lot of different i mean our our safety book or regulation book is like this you know it's massive book and these drivers have to know that inside now a lot of those regulations especially over like the course of basically last ten years have made it harder and harder and harder for the small guy to be to remain successful some of the truck drivers were critical of the electronic logging device mandate that went into effect in two thousand and seventeen which gives them a limited amount of time to drive during the day instead of letting

we have a president of the united states who goes onto twitter and just makes up stuff about united states senators. so our biggest problem is not the small mistruths -- the potentially small mistruths of brett kavanaugh. our bigger problem is that we have got a president who literally can't get through a day without making something up. that sends the worst -- a worse message to our kids than the mistruths of brett kavanaugh. but nonetheless, the supreme court is the supreme court. it's a lifetime appointment. at least if an executive gets into office and starts making stuff up, we can get rid of him or her after four years. not the supreme court. you send somebody up to the supreme court who fibs, that individual is there forever. thus maybe our standard should be a little bit higher. third, i want to talk about judge kavanaugh's disposition in that hearing. and some of the things that he said about how the allegations came forward. i talked about this on the senate floor i think now to days ago. so i won't repeat it all. but his belief that dr. ford's allegations or miss ramirez's alleg

the goal of the united states is to prevent this possibility . the is essential that our nation carefully calibrated its response. the syrian situation is extraordinarily complex. turkey iraq, israel, and jordan are profoundly affected. the fact that russia and iran vigorously support the assad regime also complicates our efforts. in recent weeks the administration has suggested that some you as military forces will remain in syria. furthermore, wallace asad, russia, and turkey contemplate military activity in and around the last week pressure is sport -- -- if chemical weapons are used again. today we will hear more about these topics we will consider the administration's strategic objectives in syria and the relevant authorities and resources required to achieve them. we will hear about efforts to achieve a political resolution in the status of the u.s. counterterrorism efforts. we will also consider the humanitarian crisis in the region and the reestablishment of governance today's witnesses. i want to remind members that this hearing is uncla

the united states and the world as well. talking about pictures here. the ways as manifested health. where i find some of the most provocative forms of expression about the last two decades in american history and that is in public art. has anyone seen this electronic superhighway from the smithsonian museum of american art? it's a giant installation and it's hard to do it justice. it's as big as this altar i would say and it's all neon tubing. in each state there's a whole bunch of video screens. as you get closer to it, and it gets louder and louder and louder, but it becomes more difficult to hear what anyone is saying. he'll say that the television screens are playing snippets of things in constant loops that are representative of the state. you go to oklahoma and it's like ♪ oklahoma where the wind ♪ of minutes like i got the horse right here his name is solved, but it is just a cacophony of noise. this is this artist and his point is, among many points, everybody is broadcasting and nobody can hear a thing. i find it o

and 2001, what happened in the united states? you will remember that, you may be very small but you remember about it. when we have the beginnings of what was described as a period of the war on terror, we went back to something called the bush cheney doctrine and what did that doctrine say? it basically said invasions like the country of iraq, demonstrations of starvation were said to have a promising future when the norm of liberal internationalism is violated. so, it was used in the war on terror as something that could be done legitimately by the u.s. , it in fact helped and terrorism. i don't know if you will agree with that or not and i think we distributed this article by alex devol in the london review of books that is on our website, what it basically talks about is a review of policy about famine and international law. a fairly highly contested issue in light of the kinds of famine that we are seeing now. so, what i want to show you is this well-made video, by walt disney, the disney company was very engaged with the un

and that he will be the next resident of the united states. -- president of the united states. 1948,election night herbert brownell and a legion of newsmen continued to cite public opinion of polls that said thomas e. dewey would be the next president of the united states. only harry truman and the american people disagreed. they refused to accept the standstill philosophy of tom dewey or the southern mandates of third-party candidate strom thurmond. 1968 is beginning to look like 1948 all over again. hubert humphrey has stepped in to harry truman's boots, while dick nixon and george wallace are wearing the boots of thomas dewey and strom thurmond. the choice seems very much the same. the democratic campaign began when humphrey clearly told his staff where he stands on the issues. i wantesident humphrey: them to argue about my ideas when they start arguing about my yous, they may not vote for , but you have them on a substantive argument. that is what i want. not what are these old hat and new hat? let's get this argument elevated. we have to make it crystal clear. andpresident of the u.s. h

it's the duty of the united states government. we will continue to execute that with great energy and vigor. second, i will get you the numbers. i want to make sure i get them right. iere's not a lot more that can say about it, other than to say this is not the last step. we will continue to do our own efforts, our own fact-finding to make sure that decisions that the united states makes are based on real facts and data that we can confirm ourselves. we will certainly take information that comes from other sources, the turkish intelligence service. we will evaluate that information and validated. we will form our own judgments about the fact and hold those responsible accountable based on the fact that we determine are appropriate. congress, i with have spoken to our allies around the world. we want to make sure that everyone understands that the united states doesn't believe that the killing of jamal khashoggi was anything other than a horrific act. we help we can work together with congress and our allies to hold those responsib
