release entered the united states or idea of the united states of being a welcoming haven for people who are exiled. unfortunately the history of the united states tells us somewhat different, more complicated story. the truth is, we haven't always had humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually, we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. usually, we have been more inclined to actually reject refugees and to accept them. and to borrow the words of historian, eric king, often, refugees who have been accepted for resettlement here, are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of forced migration and resettlement in united states. to give you an overview of what i will talk about today, i will give you a little bit of background about american refugee resettlement policy, after the second war. and i am going to use that to set up why the 1970s were such an important period of change. that is when a small group of ugandan asian refugees first arrived in the united states, followed by the even larger group of refugees, southeast

as the sixth branch of the united states armed forces. and that is really something, when you think about it. the space force will organize, train, and equip warriors to support spacecom's mission. with today's action, we open another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military. spacecom will ensure america's dominance in space is never questioned and never threatened, because we know the best way to prevent conflict is to prepare for victory. from our nation's first days, america's military blazed the trails and crossed the frontiers. that secured our nations future. no adversary on earth will ever match the awesome courage, skill, and might of american armed forces. today, we salute the heroic men and women who will serve in spacecom and keep america's horizons forever bright and forever free. we have budgets -- since we came into the administration, since the election, 2016, since january 20 of 2017, we have done things with the military that few people would have thought possible. budgets of $700 billion.

he's not to appear to me you don't get to the united states of america you don't go off to the united states that way at least under me the queen of denmark who would have hosted trump expressed his shock at his abrupt cancellation greenland is the world's largest island and it has plenty of results is to but trump's idea to buy it is not entirely new reports poor queen of denmark it just happened to be that way you know the way that part of her land is the world's biggest oil and greenland just to the northeast of america and that it's donald trump who's in charge at the white house right now how about the u.s. greenland all of it and i guess we 1st heard of people like he was joking said can we buy greenland and he was joking and then kept coming back to the danish prime minister would not sell him greenland coal and the idea absurd we must face the truth that our president is raving like a lunatic you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you haven't seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping wishlist have realized his bein

admirer of the united states. he has visited the united states when he was a young man. he found americans to be greedy, materialistic, and uncultured. he developed his grand design, the invasion of mexico, which unfolded first with the collaboration of spain and great britain. and extending throughout the first half of 1860's. we are seeing italian unification, a nation unifying. there is quite a bit on european powers mines at this time. >> one angle that is not often talked about but really important in this question is the european communist movement, particularly karl marx and frederick engels. they were fascinated by the american civil war. as part of the european revolutions of 1848 in 1849, the communist leak, there was the organization they wrote the communist manifesto for, played an important role in helping to turn that into a communist or socialist revolution. they had to go into exile. a lot of them went into exile in the united states. only a tiny percentage of them were communists. ,hey include important officers the missouri artillery officer. i think ev

even if you include the united states. the thing is that the united und states it is way out her is wayy insults and again i'm using their low numbers for guns for switzerland and israel over he here. ali'll buy itall by it's self .a lot. they would be way out here and pull the wind way bac line the n by themselves. how they are excluding some of the other observations that are there if you were to go and look at all countries, not just the developed countries, and you find that the countries that have the most gun of the lowest homicide rate. and you can look at it for fire homicide and again you find that the countries with the most gun ownershiownership rates at the t homicide rate. we see this also in terms of mass public shootings. this is from "the new york times" they published the same couple of times where they will go and use the gun ownership rate in hers from the surveys and they will use the massat public shootings outraged from somebody called adam langford of the university of alabama and they will show this

inslee: so, we have adopted the best gender pay equity's loss in the united states. n the state of washington believe it's high time to attack the dark shadow of racial disparity that we have suffered across the united states of america. and i wanted to share some of the things we've done. we understand the criminal justice system has been rife with racial disparity. that's why one of the things i've done is been the first governor of the united states to offer pardons to thousands of people who have been caught in the drug wars. we are not only legalizing marijuana, we are pardoning people caught in the drug wars. we have illuminated the death penalty. after you do your time, you get a job. we want people getting jobs after they come to the criminal justice system. and we have embraced affirmative action. this is the washington way. now, donald trump thinks that if you do these things, it will destroy your economy, right? if you treat people fairly and adopt net neutrality and adopt the first long-term care plan for seniors in the united states like we've done, it wi

for the first time, because of cuba's proximity to the united states, the united states was a country of first refuge, meaning refugees didn't go to another country and then apply for resettlement in the united states. they went straight to the united states. especially to places like miami. the policy for cuban refugees at this time was such that these refugees would be given asylum as part of a bigger anti-castro, anti-communist policy. a number of requirements were imposed on these early refugee populations. these requirements illustrated how the united states pursued its own cold war self-interest. first, as i've already mentioned, the u.s. offered a special welcome for people fleeing communism. second, preference was given for refugees who were professionals or highly educated or skilled. this was in keeping with other immigration laws of the period. ultimately, while welcoming displaced people has been seen as a humanitarian act, these humanitarian efforts were often centered on the needs of the united states, the helper. these images feature refugees who arrived in the united s

tanks in the united states in europe. yes exactly they are people who know nothing about iran or very little about iran or if they do know a thing or 2 about the country they really can't say the truth because if they do then they lose their position their think tanks or their they've ceased to be invited to different organizations or platforms so this is economic warfare everything that comes after it is the foundation of that is is this economic warfare so the heightened tension in the region in the persian gulf in the strait of hormuz in the sea of oman or the gulf of oman is based upon this economic warfare now there are conflicting. perspectives or conflicting reports as to what is actually happening the iranians are very suspicious about about some of the attacks the attacks of the port of jade in the united arab emirates have to have happened right after bolton said that he had received intelligence from the israelis the iran is about to carry out that in an attack the one off of the iranian coast is even more susp

his pronouncement that the united states was leaving has left a residual force in it in northeastern syria to continue to keep pressure on the islamic state and quite frankly to develop whatever leverage the united states can and even with a small force over the russians and the syrian government in one of their own all this chest beating that we've been seeing a syrian kurdish leader told reuters today that any attack by turkish forces in northern syria would spark what he called a big war i mean does the p.g.a. does it have the capability to stand up to the turkish military. well there's obviously a lot of chest beating kind of all sides and the turkish armed forces is a is a lord's well equipped well a trained nato force so obviously toto the y.p. g. is really no match for the turkish on forces but let's keep in mind that turkey makes no distinction between the y. p g and the p.k. k. and it's the p.k. k. that has been battling turkey since 19 eighty-four that's a very long time so one will can imagine that if the turks do take that step and invade north northern syria why fiji woul

the legislature such as is going on now in the united states. volved in so many lawsuits against the federal government involved in so many lawsuits against the state of california you've seen the breakdown of compromise between legislatures and the judiciary, the gradual loss of independence of the judiciary. recently the legislature of the state of west virginia impeached all of the supreme court justices of the state of west virginia. so the breakdown of the decline of the political compromise i see as the most serious problem now threatening the united states because democracy is a great form of government, but the democracy involves compromise. and if there is not compromise, then it's not a democracy. the other problems in the united states, you know well, democracy involves voting, and if a substantial fraction of citizens are prevented from voting, they are prevented from registering a as is the case in the united states. but it involves citizens have succeeded in registering to vote and actually voting. the united states has the lowest v

because the united states called on berlin to secure shipping in the strait of hormuz but they also called on them to combat iranian aggression were of course then germany to give into that i'm essentially they would have been condemning iran's actions at the same time you know in de jing in something which is labeled as putting them on a collision course then with tech ron at a time of course when germany has such a differing view and it stance towards iran desperately trying to nudge the iranians back into the parameters of that carefully negotiated to 2015 nuclear deal at the end of the day though i think whether this u.s. mission is but trolling of the high seas or perhaps even something more perhaps a move of politic i think it's fair to say that we will see washington now proceed and go forward rather swiftly and what about germany i mean this does look like a slap in the face delivered by germany to the united states. it certainly could be seen that way particularly given that german defense rely so heavily on the us but at the same time this really isn't a surprise if y

wants doubt this is also about iran's role in regional conflicts the united states one wants a raw. to pull out of them completely trump is offering the iranians a baggage that by all appearances they would accept and now we're than where the united states is strangling the iranian economy applying military pressure on them the europeans are trying to save what they cabin the iranians swear that they won't bend we have been getting reaction from tehran and europe about what the potential results or repercussions could be. by the beginning i thought like most journalists that it was an all or p.r. stunt public relations effort of mr micawber to make his summit a success but the fact that. the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in doubt it's a few meters away from the trouble is is astonishing is astounding and it seems there is more to it the fact germany and france have discussed with the iranians over the last few days and are discussing now with the on of those in beats it was the french they came to the ukrainians that convinced them to stay in the deal and essenti

of 1882 and that said that those likely to be a public charge are not allowed to enter into the united states, meaning that if they were live in an arms house, the entirely of the welfare state, they would be a public charge depending on services and would not be allowed to come but in 1881 the government passed a law that says if you immigrate to the united states and you become dependent with any first year of being here they can deport you from the country. the first time it was used in deportation. 1999, the government created a rule at that time that set what it needs to be a public charge is a majority of your money income comes from the government. a majority of it. the current rule now states that, if you are likely to use a government benefit in the future, nonmonetary or monetary, medicaid, food stamps, cash benefit, if you are likely to use one of those benefits for 12 months in a 36 month window in the future according to a formula -- a non-formula, a list of standards by a black box then the government will deny you a green card on that charge. host: who gets to determine likelih

the united states was made by philosophy. american conserve 'tatism defen the original philosophy of the founding fathers. classical liberal list m, the counter point to this tradition will argues is progressive is m and to flourish. this tradition for george will has eroded the ideals of the american founding, invited the spirit of america and created a country less free, less self-rely and posed. the problem is after the new deal came the astonishing american boom of the 1950s and 60s and after the great society was the revolution which the united states dominated more than any nation. the fact remains in 2019, the united states is one of the most free dynamic and innovative countries on the planet. if that is the result of a sen cu -- century of policies maybe we need more. conservatism is unsure whether america today is a fallen republic or astonishing story. this might help explain the rise of donald trump ever since the 1930s conservatives are promising the rollback of the progressive agenda. yet, despite the regan revo

talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. least under me. now, president obama, when they ouldn't let him land in the philippines, when they treated him so badly in so many places, that ilippines is one comes to mind, that's different. that's different. they can treat him any way they that's up to that's up to him. but they can't treat the united statement, how absurd.

, which other country would be most like the united states? >> right. >> that's interesting. now all of them constantly made comparative observations. tocqueville said, i never made an observation in america without france on my mind. he always was thinking comparatively. this is different than france in this way. chesterton in his writings are often comparing england to the united states. and if you've ever read chesterton, he's a lot of fun. all these kind of paradoxes. and he himself also is making comparisons. as i mentioned, vaber did this as well. as did tocqueville as well. he basically on the bit about association life, vaber wanted to bring it to germany, he said, it wouldn't go. we're so used to talk-dune in a large state apparatus this volunteerism wouldn't work. and tocqueville observed something similar about france. tocqueville's purpose for coming to the united states was actually, he was sent by the ministry of the interior to study america's prisons. so that was his ostensible reason for coming to the united states. and he and

and a lot of them came back into the united states. some of them come to the northern cities like chicago, detroit, buffalo. some of them go to washington, d.c., which during the civil war and reconstruction is a major place for african-americans, and some of them go all the way back into southern communities to try to reconnect with people they had known or find groups they think are in a position to make change and be part of that change. i am really tracking all kinds of movement back out of canada after the underground railroad. >> why do they want to come back and what gives them hope? >> a lot of them thought of themselves as members of the united states. they really wanted to be u.s. citizens, part of the united states. slavery was making that impossible. but with the civil war and the end of slavery, there were a number of political leaders who say this is our chance. we are going to go and be part of a reconstruction government, we are going to be part of the opportunity for black people to have equal rights in the united stat

and he was not an admirer of the united states. he had visited the united states as a young man. he found americans to be greedy, materialistic, and uncultured, and he did not want to see them dominating the western hemisphere. so he developed his grand design, the invasion of mexico, which unfolded first with the cooperation of spain and great britain, in the first year of the civil war, then expanding throughout the first half of the 1860's. in europe, we see italian unification as the war is breaking out. so there's quite a bit on the minds of european powers at this time. >> one angle not often as talked about, but really important in this question, is the european communist movement, in particular karl marx and frederick engels. they were both fascinated by the american civil war, for two reasons. as part of the european revolutions of 1848, 1849, the communist league, which they wrote the communist manifesto for, played an important role and hoped to turn that into a communist or socialist revolution. it failed, and they had to go into exile. a lot of them went into exile i

multispectrum of threats or do you ascribe to the premise that still the major threats facing the united states are terrorism and fragile states and instability? in that case, the game is still in the middle east. whether it's russia and china, i mean, there is also obviously asia-pacific, and we saw both the obama administration try to do their pivot, and there's a lot of talk currently in this administration and also on the hill about disengagement or burden-sharing in the middle east, which basically means u.s. forces should get out and we should shift the burden and have other people put in resources. but the bottom line is whether you ascribe to either of these world views or both, do you need partners and allies to address those threats? and in that context, would we prefer saudi arabia to be in the umbrella with us or not? so, iran policy. regardless of your views on the jcpoa, there is a potential for u.s./iran confrontation in the middle east right now, and if the blood of u.s. forces or u.s. personnel is spilled and we are in a situation where we have to confront militarily, do we wan

however, what they found as they visited 29 small cities throughout the united states, including louisville, kentucky, and the majority of the cities they visited were in the so-called flyover states, they found that local civic life is flourishing in america. that individuals from a range of backgrounds and perspectives are working together at the local level to solve a variety of local problems. and they also found that they didn't talk much about national politics. let me give a couple of examples from their book. one of the cities that the falows visited was holland, michigan. they found a vibrant town center seamlessly integrated with hope college, the institution of higher learning in town. holland prides itself on a place that makes things and one resident told the falows that one reason the town flourished was the local industries stayed in holland and artfully reinvented themselves over time and stayed connected with the community. one of the businesses that stayed in holland and, again, has reinvented itself over the years f a s was a recycling bu run by the padnose family. the co

the congress of the united states, i agree with the congressman that congress needs to get into action and really find some common sense things they can do to deal with the gun problem in america. in his state of illinois in chicago, more people die every week, every month from gun violence than do in the shooting. there needs to be a holistic approach so americans can be safe in their homes and not worry about being killed anywhere. >> john avlon, let me ask you a question -- >> here's the problem. donald trump doesn't care about inner city people that live in chicago and that are dying because of gun violence. he doesn't care. he simply wants to use us as a foil to speak to his political base. look, the fact is the president of the united states must stop inciting violence in america. he is the inviter in chief in the violence that we are living in in america. he has a huge platform and there was no self-examination of his own contribution. stop calling people like me breeders. stop calling people like me murders. my mom and dad are great people. my children are great people. we came

that means we have got to get these weapons of war off the streets of the united states of america. we have got to have a background check. we have got to have an immigration system in united --tes that where we can both common sense. you have border security or conference of immigration reform. wait a minute. no i don't. i am for border security. i want to know who's coming into the country. i want to know, and i want us to stop them if they're trying to. descendent of immigrants. this has been the secret sauce in the united states for a long time. we want comprehensive immigration reform in the united states. bring people out of the shadows here in this country. build our economy. i would just say this. i meant fighting mood. i am irish. you know the old irish saying, don't you? is this a private fighter can anybody get into it? [laughter] rep. ryan: i'm ready to fight. i have a transformational agenda. it is not going to be easy for us. i'm not saying i have a magic wand. there is no superstar, no savior. it is you and it's me. it is your family and it's my family. let's not refor

the united states never does that. they sell loans abroad, but never have a loan directly sent out through a bank in europe. it's looked at in a different light, when you realize the daughter of erlinger is marrying john slidell, the confederate ambassador. so i have to feel that he's doing his daughter and future son-in-law perhaps a future -- a little favor. immediately the same day he , floats the loan, he buys the exact same amount in union debt. at various exchanges throughout the country. >> playing both sides. prof. thomson: playing both sides. you have a lot of folks who are playing both sides. i pointed that as a classic example. there's a lot of hemming and hawing, and of course, we don't have a transatlantic cable. it is down at this point. it existed prior to the war, but is out of commission at the time of the war. so best case scenario, looking at three weeks for news to come over. it becomes very problematic, wondering what is going on and how that is impacting prospects, and in turn has some of these go

welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria. >> today on the show, the g7 meeting in france. trump and trudeau, macron and merkel. we'll bring you the latest. >> then, how is asia responding to the trump presidency? >> we have been hurt by china for 25, 30 years. nobody has done anything about it. >> i'll check in with asia expert barack hunt. >> also, eat less meat if you want humanity to survive. that was the message earlier this month from the u.n. but how do we convince those with a tenderness for t-bones or lamb or pork or chicken or goat to stop? amanda little has the answer. but first, here's my take. today's crisis of conservatism has produced surprisingly few books that try to analyze what exactly happened to this venerable creed. for decades, conservatism was a dominant ideology in the western world, championed by margaret thatcher and ronald reagan. now, it has quietly collapsed. president trump's populism has taken over the republican party, brexit fever has consumed britain's conservative leaders

we hope the united states will continue to push for more discussions same thing about the south china sea that they're going to continue discussions about the disagreements over territory there and then also the trade war we know there were discussions negotiations in china chang high earlier in the week nothing really came out of that but they said the leader said that they're still discussing it so at least they sat down across the table from each other but really no net gain out of that meeting today here in bangkok but when we talk about the trade war as it is at the moment scott i mean you've got all those big beast you've got those big heavy hitters the 7 as the foreign minister is there equally you've got high powered delegations from the united states and china are there any questions about influence here. absolutely no this is something that's a minute ongoing dialogue here in austin and a lot of the times at the meetings like this and the particular the summits that take place later in the year what is really being focused on now because you have the superpowers econom

does support-- the united nations even after speaking out against the idea that it might-- the united states and providing a police force for the world, something he was adamantly opposed to. he did ultimately vote in favor of resolution authorizing us membership in the united nations may be in part because harry truman is president at this time and may have done it because he figured truman would do a better job of managing the us involvement with united nations ben franklin roosevelt would have done. fundamentally he never really backtracked on his foreign- policy views. in the 1960s he was speaking out against the war in vietnam. he called pres. eisenhower's chief of staff in the late 1950s to praise eisenhower for not using american military intervention in the crisis were egypt took over the suez canal and great britain sent troops to arrested back and he applauded eisenhower for not getting involved so he was very consistent about not using us military force in that way, something that needless to say has been pretty commonplace ever since. >> i hate to cut the discussion off because w
