to the united states are larger than the united states i mean trying to cripple one of the biggest economies in the world with an upward trajectory is a tall order i think you need more than just tariffs if you want to cripple economy i think you know what i'm getting at go ahead fred. i think james have the right in terms of some of the i think will be president trump and you know his close associates trying to start this confrontation with another country which is china however you know all of the things between united's and china affects the whole world in terms of trade as well so you know they can try. even while we goes bankrupt it will leave $100.00 over 180000 very capable employees and they will start up tents of companies like the hallway and will be competing again so i think you know we have to realize that this one is a very very complicated war it's not a very simple one shot situation ok james i mean looking at western press reports see china walked away from the deal but if you look at the details of the deal that was being proposed by the trump administration they were essen

yemen that is in the best interest of the united states madam president. not in the slightest or even by a shred. to have our support especially when our own security of the american people on us soil is not on the line. of course, there was the killing of jamaal khashoggi. february a report came out suggested the united arab emirates actually transferred american-made weapons to al qaeda and other military groups it is a saudi led coalition is getting our old weapons in violation of her own and user agreements with them.y to get to the terrorist groups we try to fight those that pose - - with the majority shia muslims. five gay men that were suspected to have been tortured into a confession. perhaps we ought not be supporting that regime at all, matter president or give unflinching or unwavering unquestioning devotion to a regime that treats its own people that way. and has harmed others in its own region. but add a bare minimum we should not fight an unjust civil war half a world away without congressional authorization article one section eight of the c

>> i'm not aware that the government in the united states or in this country -- or in the united kingdom -- has the constitutional power to confer rights unless it is exercising a statutory power to do so. i'm not entirely sure how the problem arises. your obviously right in saying that if the government has the power either to confirm or to take away rights on its own initiative, i.e., without a specific statutory power it wouldn't differ from a privilege at all. >> can i ask a supplementary question to that? it is not the case of old world arrogance that you will come over here and tell these good people when the majority of countries in the world right now have written constitutions that we do it better not just because we did at first, but we do it better because we haven't written it down.>> i haven't said we do better. i think we obviously start from completely different points of view. in the us a written constitution on the legal model has nearly a quarter of a millennium of history. so that is where you start and i'm not for one moment suggesting that it is something that you sh

mainly because both the united kingdom and the united states insisted on seeing themselves as democracies so what we are ultimately talking about here is is a quality or more specifically the ethnic composition of the israeli democracy do you think that the upper hand sions that the current israeli leadership has about the granting all people under its control equal rights do those apprehensions ultimately. go down to security concerns or is it all ideological and more specifically is it tied to the ideology of zionism you're raising many questions but let's revisit the american case for a moment it wasn't all the case that abraham lincoln who fought the civil war fought it because he imagined the united states would be a multiracial democracy you never imagined that in so far as you talked about what would happen to the slaves you talked about sending them back to africa there was the united states thought of itself as a white christian country and did not think of itself as a multiracial democracy that it came about as the until not as a result of the elites not as a result of the gover

to start trading its sanction goods and confront the united states. yes excellent question the basis of the nuclear deal. was signed. 6 global powers was that. we would have real limitations on the iranian nuclear program. and for that the crip crippling sanctions would be left while iran has essentially followed its implement its obligations and the international atomic energy agency has at least 16 or 17 times confirmed that iran has done its share of the subjugation unfortunately. the other 6 global powers but particularly the europeans and the united states have not and they do what they promised to do not after president trumped unit added we withdrew from 2 nuclear program the europeans tried to. try to somehow manage to convince iran not to get out of the nuclear deal and gainst them instead you refer to a sort of a compromise but unfortunately the europeans have not deliberate act all that mechanism has not worked because the europeans are really a place between a hard place on a hard rock they cannot abandon the u.s. because the u.s. is their

it was a very strong in the united states even though the media didn't like the coverage there was a real anti-war movement now speed up to 2019 under the trumpet ministration the we here we here calls for war and violence in invasion of venezuela of the rand we have the united states supplying lethal weapons to ukraine we have the united states going to the south china sea as remarkably in the middle of trade negotiations here we have a hyper aggressive foreign policy but where is the anti-war movement other than places like this and people like yourselves go ahead medea in washington. unfortunately i think people are so consumed by domestic issues and there are so many important issues in the mainstream media in this country is super hyper focused on domestic issues and on partisan issues and there is very little coverage of what's going on in the world i think for the most part people are unaware of all of these global wars that are still going on 2 decades afterwards and the new threats that are happening so we have an educated public and those who are educated in terms of being

happened in the united states what is import. and is that these sanctions are not only equal and have no legal effect not no economic effect but they also won't have any political effect the success or failure of these sanctions is going to be who buy their on the oil so we are talking about countries such as china turkey and india who are your major oil importers are they going to continue to buy a normal two points first world these countries have declared that they do not recognize u.s. sanctions for. their private companies may because of u.s. corage and because of their heavy hand that the united states is exercising on these issues may find it just prudent for themselves in the short term and i don't think it's prudent for anybody in the medium and long term to decrease but that doesn't mean that the government's agree and the governments have announced that they do not recognize what is your plan how are you going to make sure that the people of iran don't feel the crunch that the united states wants them to feel well firs

old list so this was a decision by the united states handed down in the iranian parliament and before that iran's national security council simply took a measure in response to this action i ask you this question because so far what you have been telling the world is that iran is not looking for confrontation iran does not want to escalate tensions but would measures like this do you think that is coming from a nation which wants to deescalate but certainly iran does not want confrontation and escalation but we have not lived seven thousand years by escaping from those who want to pull the us we have been very clear that we have no interest in escalation we have been clear that persian gulf and the strait to hold most is our lifeline we depend on them for our livelihood and we want them safe secure and free for navigation of all countries including iran but that also comes when some of the generals have made remarks saying that if iran. meanwhile doesn't pass through state of hormones no one else's well it's up to the united states to make that decision whether it wants to make a posi

that's the united states in both cases. the united states gets most of the profit from made in china iphones. and when we put tariffs on china, we're not only hurting china, we're hurring allies and ourselves. so the probably is problem is how do woe try to balance trade while addressing the global supply chain. >> this is vic in saratoga, california. >> caller: hi, i think the tactic of using tariffs is very counterproductive. i think we should focus on aid in the developing world. and focus on getting people out of extreme poverty. because if they're out of extreme poverty, like through things like food assistance, or -- >> we are going to leave this recorded segment of washington journal, with a quick reminder that you can watch all of our programs online at c-span.org. we're going live now to capitol hill for a house budget hearing on immigration and border security, we will hear from customs and immigration officials at the homeland security sub committee hearing. >> u.s. immigration, and customs enforcement, and u.s.

unit. during construction for 12 months, the tenants will need to park on the street and this is a temporary interruption of services by rent section 37.2r and administrative code, chapter 65a. the tenants will receive parking by law. these payments are based on the amount they pay for the spaces, if it's specified in the lease or if not, they can obtain other parking or other storage. if they don't think they're getting the right amount, administrative code section 65a.5, rent ordinance 37.8 set out a petitioning process at the rent board and that is the proper form for this. and as kent mentioned, the work is sequenced together with the soft story seismic retrofit so the construction timeline is minimized and there's as little inconvenience to the tenants as possible. all of this is done by the book. the appellant will get parking back at the end and compensation payments in the meantime. so what other argument does she raise? well, she says that the accessory dwelling units will change t

in doing so, they uplift the united states. i look at immigration as a plus to this country, not a minus. i am the grandson of immigrants from eastern europe who came to this country 110 years ago. i would never slam the door on immigrants who want to come here now because i would not have wanted anyone to slam the door on my grandparents. again, while i believe that immigration is immensely important to the united states, i also know most people, if given a choice, would prefer to stay in their home country. it is a terrifying thing to move your entire family to an unknown place. many people only make that decision when they feel they have no other option. my view is the best way to address these challenges is by investing in a safer and more prosperous central america to create more opportunities for the people living there. in el salvador, my delegation saw the direct impact of our u.s. aig investments. we met with young people training to be software engineers. you could see the excitement on their faces. their vision of a

oh by the united states to taiwan always fall on the deaf ear is but the point is. what is a real use of office so to taiwan demanding the chinese becoming stronger and stronger no matter how many weapons to taiwan with by their would not be useful. was the scenario i believe the taiwanese. is not to really buy weapons they're trying to buy you sure it's are you sure is that it could be filled with american blood are you sure it's not a could not to really guard he's a safety so what. is the safety of the taiwanese people their safety and security come from good relationship with them and then china that is where the security lie and even economically dependent so heavily upon men and china i know we have extended the good will time and again if you compare the previous. and the current to us r.t. you would find the difference so their superiority and it won't be. across the strait utilizing. the trust of china taiwan. now at the moscow conference on international security minister of a set that china is strongly against it taiwan travel act that the united states a

burglary unit. i have a presentation here where i'm going to cover the crime statistics that were asked for. and i'll begin the power point now. it's not high enough. okay, so before we get into the different types of crimes, i wanted to give a brief description of the crime categories so we all understand what each -- the terms that are being used mean. i have here on the power point residential robbery. that is the taking of property by force or fear inside someone's home. and it's personal crime, because the victim is present and the property was under their control at the time it was taken. residential burglary is the unlawful entry into a room, house, apartment, any domicile where someone may live with the intent to commit a grand or petty larceny or to commit any other felony. so the next term down there is a hot prowl. this term isuationed quite a bit. a hot prowl is when a residential burglary occurs and any person from that residence is home. if anyone is in the building, it's a hot prowl.

against the united states what could you define it because nobody in power can define what specifically is going on except for there is a lot of hype go ahead mom and i think the same question that people are asking here as well the united states we hear that. there was something a rocket fire that the u.s. embassy in terms of it was like 3 kilometers away and then within hours iran is accused of carrying out. its by the obvious that. for anyone in teheran that iran has no motive to do such a thing it doesn't gain anything by doing such a thing and i think the americans knew quite well that it had nothing to the iran with iran and it's probably some sort of like operation carried out by some elements or a cell within isis with so the unseen. but. the mood in tehran is that. and from the very beginning more or less except for some people was that the chance for military conflict has always been very low because i think the iranians. have stated to the americans on numerous occasions that if you strike iran we will strike back very hard and the persian gulf region is a very sensitive regi

in the united states. i suspect, although i cannot prove it, one reason abortion remains so controversial in the united states is that it was introduced judicially, i.e., by a method which relegated the wid wider principal debates to americans. instead it is a candidate for the supreme court with results that were apparent in the indignified party and procedures in the most recent hearings. in his first inaugural address in 1861, abraham lincoln drew attention to the implications of filling gaps in the constitution by judicial decision. his words are very well known. the candid citizen, he said, must convince that if the policy of the government on vital questions are affecting the whole of people is to be relatively fixed by decisions. they resign their government into the hands of that evident tribunal. lincoln had in mind dread scott who decided that they were not easily made decisions. a nation cannot hope to accommodate divisions among its people unless its citizens actively participate in the process

[applause] the united states has stood strong for freedom in venezuela. the president said we can be a lot tougher. regime inmaduro particular, the supreme court of venezuela has undermined its constitutional mandate. the supreme court was established to protect the rule of law. sadly, of late, it has become a political tool for a regime that usurps democracy, indicts political prisoners, and promotes authoritarianism. it is time for the supreme court in venezuela to return to its founding purpose. if the supreme court of venezuela does not return to its constitutional mandate to uphold the rule of law, the united states of america will hold all 25 of its magistrates accountable for their actions. i came today to be very clear. the united states of america will continue to exert all diplomatic and economic to bring about a peaceful transition of democracy in venezuela. oppress who continue to the good people of venezuela, know this. all options are on the table. nations across the world have spoken with a clear voice. the time has come for freedom loving

i think the united states is basically trying to bully iran into submission as iran cannot go down that road because this agreement was very unpopular in the first place amongst the hard liners in iran and mr romney and his associates were making crusade to improve the iranian economy because of course is very important but the hardliners were saying we should get a nuclear reset further down the road so that we are able to break out within six months and then people will respect that and i think work through that before we're on the deal that they made was a bad one named the iran agree to certain thing that it cannot recover it exports it ninety percent of it that your am it pour concrete into a heavy water reactor and all the others did it is said ok we'll help you economically and they have not done that so i thought to south africa now where people are voting in the next should have expressed frustration about corruption unemployment and racial inequality step process twenty five years after the end of apartheid is fond of the men of opponents from cape town these polls are the tou

when china has 10% of united states gnp, bigger than the united states in 2014, in 34 years everythinghanges. but what is china threatening? is china threatening the liberal international order? or is china threatening the global balance of power, the number one power in the world so ably represented by general mcmaster and michael pulse bury. [applause] and the honest answer, there's only one simple, honest answer. china is stretching the global balance of power. and i'll tell you why china is not happening. the liberal international order. because why has china come out of nowhere and in 30 years became the largest economy in -- [inaudible] how did china do it? china did it because of the rules of the liberal international order. now, many of you will be confused by this phrase, "liberal international order." i mean, i could completely agree when they said china is not a liberal domestic order, but that's not the issue of the day. it's not whether china is liberal domestic order. the issue of the day is whether china's working with the liberal international order. and i can tell you
