he served the united states congress, and he also served the united states senate. he and his wife were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, d.c.. one of south left informed their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we are standing in the cell were jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1865, jefferson davis received world from general roth we, a commander of the army in virginia, who no longer could hold a federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news, jefferson davis drab his cabinet, sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow, he would finally catch up with his family, right above the florida state line. it was here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat, and went back up to four mineral and was incarcerated i

but the united states says if you're going to rejoin the family of governments in the united states, if you're going to get your recognition back with the united states, you're going to sign a new treaty and that is where we have the treaty of 1866. the last treaty that we have with the united states. still in full force and effect. it has done some things and we had to give up some things. one of the things we had to give up that hastened our compromise was the ability to keep the railroads out. i'm from a little town, nobody in here knows where it is, but if you go there -- someone knows where it is. by wait this is the washington dc cherokee organization right here, they have come all of the way here, what a great thing. so if you look, that map doesn't go all of the way up. if you look at vanita, there is two railroads there. they were founded in 1871 after the civil war. the railroads start coming in, settlers start going in. what happens to cherokees when settlers start going in. i remember something like that in the state of georgia. it is the same old story over again. not ju

and what united states is still doing. despite the weakness of its president and its leader, it's still protecting those financial interests and it's still asserting its power across the world to ensure that those financial interests take priority. and of course, this is why we have a world divided between creditors and debtors. wall street to the world of creditors, and the debtors, many of whom are sovereign countries, poor countries have no voice in all of this and have virtually no power. that system is deeply, deeply unjust, and internationally. and just in the united states is going to have to do something about wall street before we can do something about rebalancing power across the world. ok. and is, i'd like to ask you what if anything, saudi arabia managed to get out of this summit. of course, on the one hand it wants to highlight it's changing society and on the other, how to hopes people, doesn't a people forget about the war in yemen? and the murder of a prominent journalist did saudi arabia get having i got

ambassador to the united states mr assad and president elect joe biden is that good news for europe. broadly speaking yes i think it is i think we have had a very difficult transatlantic relationship for the last 4 years. future president biden is clearly very committed to europe be very proud of his irish origins if i may say so but he also has a long history of commitment to nato to the european union and to good relations between the united states and the european union but of course we need to understand as several of your commentators have already said that he faces a very challenging situation in the united states so we are not going to see a return to what some people might have sold of as the golden era of transatlantic relations perhaps at the end of the dredges century or in the early part of the 21st century where we're going to have to reinvent this transatlantic relationship to the new realities of american politics i say we need to reinvent the transatlantic relationship how exactly do you see europe going ahead with that. well i look i think we need to recognize 2 fund

of the united states, is that part of what is going on and what needs to be fixed going forward and prayed to the need to do more with the policy. a more robust state department and what more than that will it take to some kind of leadership. ali soufan: i think we need to have an international strategy. what is our strategy. the world has advocated. let's start with what we always knew, east mean something. democracy. and now it seems we are so happy to drag that there have definitely been murdered of washington post journalist and dismembered them into pieces. where are we. what is our strategy. so in order to have a dip diplomatic initiative, you need to have a strategic the you overall. where is it today. we still have and they did not go away right. we have new threats emerging read from russia. new threats emerging from china. we have this kind of like power struggle that we are having with the chinese that has economic and political in the whole version of the global strategy. what do we have. where are week. we do not have relationship with our allies. who basically are looking for

the united states needs a deal. this. this showdown in the persian gulf is, is, lucy, is the political will, to do a deal. and the world, as you alluded to,, it is in a different phase as it was 5 years ago. you know, u.s., european relations maybe aren't as good as the where it's hard to know. there was so much international diplomacy at the time was in there trying to carve this deal . do you think it can be saved? do you think they can get back to some sort of normalization, to get in a room together at this stage and say, you know what? there's too much at stake. this needs to be saved. there's a new administration, iran come to the table, let's do that. i think they're, i think it could be done. united states wants to pivot towards asia is worried about china and, and both the new secretary of state, blake and others, are state if they want to move towards china, if they don't fix this iran situation and neutralize it in some way. they're going to be stuck in the middle east. this is a quagmire for them because iran

embracing by the united states of netanyahu. and his feeling that there needs to be an escalation with iran in the region. you know, we saw donald trump move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. and recently we saw mike pompei o. go on a tour of the middle east. and, you know, tout the fact that at this point, there are some governments in the arab world that have recognized israel. and it seems like the effort of the united states is to mobilize and polarize the region between israel and iran. take a listen to my palm, pale thanks to president group, the u.s. to go to the nuclear review with the rhone. please crippling sanctions on the reunion regime and the group to go some soon be a record speaks for itself. during the trip administration, america stands with israel like never before. 'd now, many were hoping that things may change with joe biden in the white house after all, joe biden was vice president under barack obama, and it was the obama administration that negotiated the iran nuclear deal, which donald trump pulled out up.

take them into the united states. that truman knows, domestic politics and international politics, the hostility for the european jews. the misunderstanding, congress will never allow them in the country. >> a question i had, a scene in the book, this goes back to the camps themselves and word gets back and the situation is really dire, people are suffering and talk to eisenhower and told him to clean it up. eisenhower goes back and goes toward the camp in particular the jewish camps and makes it a point these are under united states authority. was that an act of humanity or was i romanticizing truman and eisenhower in late of recent events, displaced people? >> truman and eisenhower in this book. heroes nonetheless, with displaced persons, it is because he read the bible from early on, jews belong - the pain in the beginning, we've got to realize what a mess europe was. we knew that millions had been killed, or many made it out of the camps and there was this sense the state department had the sense and the british h

amen. >> the national museum of the united states army is a joint effort between the united states army army historical foundation. the mission of the army historical foundation is to honor the american soldier by preserving and presenting the history and heritage of the united states army. from his home in massachusetts, please welcome the chairman of the army historical foundation, general retired arnold sullivan. >> distinguished guests, friends, and supporters of the army museum, welcome to the opening ceremony of the national museum of the united states army. this museum is a giant tribute to over 30 million soldiers who have served throughout our history as a country. i think it is important we take a moment to remember one soldier in particular. general bill herzog whose recent passing has saddened us all. he was a dedicated soldier who served as chairman of the board for 15 years. trying to keep the campaign to build this impressive museum alive. we are grateful for his enormous effort and offer the deepest condolences to his wife and family. bill, rest in peace. it is my honor

should we really rely on the united states to be our closest ally in the future?e are no guarantees in life. who knows what will happen in four years? you're right, the threat is there, that we'll return to the demagogic populism we've experienced in the united states... well, you call it a threat, i'm not calling it a threat. i'm simply saying europeans cannot take for granted a sort of multilateral approach that you and joe biden are clearly keen to offer. absolutely, i understand completely. having resided in europe for 29 years of my life, i absolutely understand that. but i can tell you, the first part of your question, are europeans happy, are they taking this is good news? absolutely. i have got a lot of messages from member states and from the commission saying that this is great news. it's time that we actually go back, as we were before, negotiating and moving forward on security and trade and other foreign policy issues. but there is no guarantee. you know, the conclusion of all of this is that we need to seize the day. we need to seize the day. and i c

it's egg on the face of the united states, but it's not the central issue for the united states. syria is for american foreign policy. something of a side show, not of course for the syrians. so i don't think that this is going to be the dominant issue going forward. i don't think not. well thought about. we'll talk about many issues. when we come back, you gentlemen, we're going to go to, a short break. nothing. that's a break. we'll continue our discussion, the u.s., russia relations stated there was a pandemic. no, certainly no borders and a slide into nationalities doesn't work. we don't have a review. we don't look like the whole world needs to be judged as coming crisis. we don't want to we can do better, we should know better. everyone is contributing to each her own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges created with the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. during the vietnam war, u.s. forces neighboring laos. there was a secret war. and for years, the american

whereas in europe vote it is always inside everyone's free everyone who vote in the united states sunday is a jewish holiday and they would make it a national holiday booting day so you have to go to wednesday for example now there's a pandemic it is dangerous it is literally dangerous to do and stand in huge lines of people with the very little social distancing suit you will you vote as democrats have been urging their supporters to do you mail your vote and it's lost 150000 votes have been confirmed sue for are lost in this election and they're still counting there this potentially tens and tens of thousands more even election as clues as this. where every vote matters they've lost so many already democrat officials never believe they could win this election honestly i really believe that that's why they did the mail in ballots with this tremendous corruption and fraud going on that's why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots they refused to include any requirement to verify signatures i get is or even determine whether they're eligible or it was a vote it is

yet you're in the united states, there's actually no federal law around child marriage. rather each individual state is responsible for setting their own requirements. this is why unicef usa is a member of the national coalition and child marriage working alongside and you don't partners and order to help more people have whole loopholes. are exceptions that may promote the practice at the state level. so no wonder if she saw so many of the issues about which is what happens to the survivors. and we would he have stats, we know how young people who are girls mostly who are in child marriages. they don't strife you. website is trying to push back on not slating to surviving is one of the stories that you share, minissha. i'm going to show some pictures of you if you babies. this is you when you were married and a little girl and then your baby. so basically a baby having babies. what was the a match when you being might that young? yeah. well the biggest impact for me was on my education. at 15 years old i had a desire to die in the air force and then going to last one bec

that's why georgia and america need david perdue a kelly loeffl back in a republican jority inhe united statesate. for all we've done together, for all we have yet t do, we need the great state of georgia to defend the majority and the road to a senate republican majority goes straight through the state of georgia. are y with me? you know the president wanted me to be here today. because we need georgia to send these two great senators back to a rublican majority. first because of who they are. second bause of all we've accomplished. and because the republican senate majority could be the last line of defense for all that we've done to defen this nation revive our economy and preserve the god given liberty that we hold dear. [applause] it's true. t i'm here because fst and foremost who they are like aon aftehigh school he enroll at georgia tech paid his w working construction job and eventually worke his way to the top of the business world he spent more than 40 years as a captain of industry one of the most respected business leaders in america. following his deep conservative conviction, he

until the present administration the united states will lead in international cooperation now. having said that, the obligation of the united nations and participating nations has been not to repatriate or resettle the refugees, but to shelter and feed and supply them with medical assistance in the camps. in the 70 years since the end of the displaced persons camps in germany, the sense has been the limits of the world's responsibilities to make sure none of these people starve. not to allow them to lead meaningful lives through repatriation or through resettlement. this is a tragedy that is only going to get worse. in my book, at the end, the only place for the displaced jews to resettle is an independent israel and i make the argument truman supports the establishment and independence of israel because he knows to establish an independent procurement the west needs as the bulwark of an anti-communist coalition, got to get the jews out of germany. it can't be west germany, 250,000 jews, the only place he can get them, he can't get them into the united states, is israel. he supp

understanding of what interests are and how to advance the interests there's no doubt that the united states of america will have its national interest unlike all the other sovereign states acting out there in the world will try to get to advance its own interests but the idea that you look at the world is a 0 sum game that what the united states wins means necessarily that someone else loses rather than through cooperation serious cooperation coalition building. with other nations through coordinated multilateral action these are all potentials to strengthen. american influence and to advance american interest this way of looking at the world was totally foreign is totally foreign to a donald trump who saw everything in terms of strictly bilateral relations rather than a rather complex interaction of different countries with unique interests. asymmetric power some are more influential than others but that their deals can be done. in a a way that is much more complex than simply i when you lose that is sort of the mentality of going to the bazaar and. negotiating over carpet or something lik

jerusalem the capital of israel the trump plan and of course more recently these deals that the united states has helped engineer with other arab states with arab states between israel and arab states in the region and so you hear 1st some of those groundhog day elections of the last couple of years you saw those enormous trump netanyahu posters netanyahu brandishing his relationship with trump as really evidence of his statesmanship and his wise leadership of the country if trump loses the presidency of course that causes a pretty big domestic problem for netanyahu he will have to both try to work with the by the administration well perhaps returning to his public outward facing and domestically facing sort of opposition showing that he is the one who can take on a less friendly u.s. president well let's bring in the palestinians hey i was reading today an article that was quite interesting it said that the palestinians have simply given up on the u.s. being an honest broker in any kind of negotiation no matter who's in power is that something that you may have heard or certainly heard that

into the white house and this is all down to what is called the electoral college system in the united states because each state has a fixed number of electors based on the number of people living there and whichever candidate secures a simple majority of votes in each state does win the only exceptions of maine and nebraska which are allocated electors based on local district. here's what it looks like so far on a state by state basis many of my old. states from pennsylvania wisconsin michigan and georgia are still counting preliminary results they do indicate a tight race as we said and both joe biden and his rival donald trump have addressed their supporters to saying that they are sure that they will come out on top. not only we believe we're on track to win the selection we're going to win this thank you thank you thank you. we were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this i. we will win this store's him already. well traditionally some states are things republican party strongholds while others are strongly tied to the democratic party but in swing state both parties a

the united states of america. who do we side with, a confederacy that split from the united states, what are the consequences? they offered essentially a better deal. it did not help anything that the united states was not really keeping a lot of its promises during this time period. i don't know if you can imagine that, the united states and the indian tribes, but it happened. the government of the cherokee nation, wanting to remain neutral, was feeling a great deal of pressure from people who said look, the united states is not really living up to its word, and it looks like the seven nurse might have an edge, and the southerners are offering us so much, in terms of treasure, land, and control, maybe we ought to have a better deal with that. so the folks who lined up with the confederacy, they line up with stan wadie. ultimately, john ross signs an agreement with the confederacy. in 1861, i am always looking at jack to make sure i have got the date right, but 1861 is i think when he signed it. he signs it, and e

the world that the united states did overstep in the middle east. and that the wars in afghanistan, you know, iraq in syria and libya have not gone well. there are a few things. democrats and republicans agree on today. i think one of them is it's time to reduce the u.s. footprint in the middle east. and so i think that the trend that trump started, which is to took get out of syria, pull back from afghanistan and pull back from iraq. that will continue where i think you'll see a dramatic change is on the diplomatic front. because the isolationist sentiment that trump demonstrated was coupled with a fierce unilateralism pulling out of pacts, dissing allies. and i think biden will do the opposite. you'll rejoin paris hill, rejoin the world health organization to try to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal. he'll breathe new life into nato, so the u.s. will lead and diplomatically, even as it leans back militarily. and for me, that's exactly the right formula. or is that actually a cover of a covert activity? because obviously, there obama, there was, we

father, served in the united states air force in world war ii and then as united states ambassador for he is my role model my hero. fled communist hungary as a young girl and help to future generations of refugees come to america. , the bridge between america and the world, she is my greatest champion. wasy late stepfather, he one of 900 children in his but the onlyand, one to survive the holocaust after four years in concentration camps. end of the work and he made a break into the woods and bavaria. from his hiding place, he heard a rumbling sound. it was a tank, but instead of the iron cross, he saw painted on its side the five-pointed white star. an african-american g.i. looked down at him. he got down on his knees and said the only three words in english his mother had taught him, "god bless america." that's who we are. that is what america represents to the world, however imperfectly. now we have received with equal measures from humility and confidence, humility because as the president-elect said, we can't solve all the worlds problems alone. we need to do with other countries,

and blue states always sees the united states the bible tells us to every day there is a season a time to build a time to rebut a time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time get here on america i do so on the goal the right words here are the time when deficient is right but it's a tough task ahead it is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority republican senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take place take the seats there. clear consensus which people were hoping for which the poll numbers working for hasn't materialized what role the has materialized is the scale of polarization in us domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides. them 4 years ago in the 26 the election and this election as they very much haven't gone away and ironically as you said all the right words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for many american listeners because we've heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent president donald trump now it's time for america to bind the divisions

so, again we are growing into what the united states is today. when you look around this room, a lot of guys who sat here in the senate were the architects of our constitution. the senators being chosen by their state, a lot of these guys had a big impact on writing the constitution would be sent by their states to philadelphia. one of the ones who is not is james madison. he runs into the problem in virginia that patrick henry is one of the great powers in virginia. henry is not a great fan of madison and his big role in the constitution. essentially madison, even though we call him the father of the constitution, the obvious plum of getting a seat in the senate does not happen for james madison. he has to suffer through being elected and running for office and being a member of the house. as for election of senators, that is actually a very recent phenomena in our history. that would be the 17th amendment. 1913, just over a century ago. all of the men prior to that just had to court their state legislature. so you think of the lincoln douglas de

but i think in positions, if it's part of the historical record, the united states officials in the united states knew, with this weaponry, was going into this money was going, it's very end of the hour. it ended up in defense, all of them or straight to go for us. you're absolutely right, but i think it's very important to mention here that when during the terrorist acts in europe, we hear about the people who perpetrated these acts and they were active in syria, the u.s. media, the western media in general, always reports of talk as if she has to respond in 2013 when the so-called islamic state official gets out of to function in syria. and of course these people who are active in there are also there, you know, before the, i mean official launch. an old guy says there are groups with the same ideology or pursuing the same agenda. they just didn't call themselves isis. it was me hope americans would do their job for them won't be no resistance. so i agree, absolutely. with what george just said, and what you said, these policies are going to be more aggressive because trump was just an a

they recommended a establishment of a independent united states of indonesia. the united nations commission was instructed to assist in the negotiations. they started in august 1949. with the help of the united nations commission, the conference agreed on a charter of transfer on sovereignty and the future cooperations between the netherlands and the united states of indonesia. the islands embracing scores of people was a reality. and in 1949 between julianne signed the document to transfer power and recognize it as an independent nation. the question had been peacefully resolved. the sub continue net of india was another trouble spot. it's millions all looked forward to independence after years of passive resistance. following self determination of people gave india complete freedom but the question of independence was not simple. it supposed another delegate question. meetings were held. ghandi, a great imresponsible of independence. a muslim leader succeeded to the leadership. and under his leadership it was india started an independent republic. millions of

night after that except when i watch the big board our system is the worst we also see that in the united states constitution voting is never mentioned at all welcome to the international on to our coverage of the u.s. election counting in key battleground states continues. the contest for the white house could be over in the coming hour was with a democrat joe biden looking more and more likely to be declared the went on increasing his vote margins in key states however a recount has been announced in the state of georgia leaving america on tenterhooks attention is focused on a handful of states and we'll still waiting for crucial results and nevada on. to have the democrats hold a slot and. well as it stands this is how it. has $264.00 alexis if you include arizona which some say is too early to cool but if we assume he does take it he is 6 electoral votes short of the $270.00 required for victory donald trump on the other hand carney stands up 214 but that said it remains a really tight race gaps have closed in different battleground states today the former vice president is leading in nevada

so people where the wind is blowing in the united states.and he builds, if you're in a hotel and orders out your bill supports the e.u. regarding the policy towards poland in hungary, while trump has indirectly, but big keeping quiet by expressing some perceived as expressed support for these people. and that, of course, in bolton. and you don't, you won't see that still in bold meant and of having set of course also realize the strategic relationship, the united states has to sortie arabia. you will not stroll in saudi arabia into an enemy, and no one would expect that. and the other hand, you know, not let the crown prince get away with these sort of policy. can i ask you something about this? when was president biden was in office together with president obama. they tell him that allowed saudi arabia to launch one of the most murderous, bloodiest wars there is, has still continuing right now. and i understand that, that there is a certain air resonance about the absolute horrific nature of that one killing. but under biden and obama, hund

states europe must strengthen politically and economically in the face of not just the united states but also china so a sense that regardless of the outcome of the election over the other side of the atlantic france and europe will be more to that. when president michael was elected hey back in 2017 trump was already in office in the u.s. he invited trump to come and spend pasty day here in france and it did seem as if the choose genuinely go sold with each other but that quickly soured and they have been big problems in the relations over the last few years let's start off with the paris climate accord president trump said he was going to leave the paris climate accord which might present michael was very unhappy about there was also the iranian new. clear deal which again trump said he was going to leave not present micro-loan was trying desperately to keep that to rein in nuclear coolant. trump is the winner of this election we can expect that there will be a bumpy ride over the next 3 years now if boyden is the winner of this election perhaps doesn't change too much over some of

united states law no longer applies to you. if you want to swear allegiance to the united states, you can have your slaves back, but if not i i am going to seize them as contraband of war because you are using them against my soldiers in the united states army. i will seize them and keep them and you can no longer have your slaves. this would create a mass of folks coming to fort monroe to seek freedom. what started out as three man became 10,000 by the end of the war in four short years. jefferson davis is a contradiction. jefferson davis, in his early life, was a graduate of the united states military academy. he served in the frontier with the added states army. he was secretary of war under president pierce. he and his wife were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, d.c.. when the south formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become their first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become president of the confederate states of america. we are stand

the united states.have got to come together. i am running as a proud democrat, but i will govern as an american president for everybody. i will work as hard for those who do not support me as those who do support me. i'm unit. that is the job of a president -- i mean it. that is the job of a president. the duty to care for everyone. there will not be any red states are blue states. just the united states of america. in our country is being tested, but our faith in god is helping us through because of all of you. thank you for your commitment to the greatest commandment -- love our neighbors as ourselves and for our dedication to never grow weary of doing good. being with you all reminds me of that gospel hymn that inspired so many of us. when i last talked it to john lewis when he was dying, he reminded me of it -- i do not feel no ways tired. i have come too far from where i started from. nobody told me the road would be easy. i do not believe he brought me this far to leave me. we are not tired. butro

that are following this race decided not to call this in his favor we did see some areas of the united states in key battleground states where they've stopped counting for the evening and will pick up again on wednesday this is all part of what the president says is an effort to try and see that he does not win why would this matter to the president in terms of the vote counting. well the president wants to stop the vote counting today and has tried unsuccessfully already because we know that in person voting favors republicans in person voting favors donald trump whereas democrats were the ones that were mailing in their votes that's why they want to see the votes continue to be counted potentially allowing joe biden to claim victory so overall this is not encouraging for the american people we've reported for so many years how polarized the united states is things have only got worse from this point is that this has become can because now that the very definition if you like of a contested election it could be days before we actually have any conclusion to or even weeks any conclusion to li

there are three branches of the united states government.ve branch, or president, the legislative branch, or the congress, and the judicial branch, or supreme court. the duties of each branch are established in the constitution. let's see how they work. the president is the executive head of the nation. he initiates all important policies, such as treaties with other governments and the contact of national affairs. he is the commander-in-chief of the army. and the navy. and an important dplgs a wartime election. the vice president is the president's legal successor. the president keeps him informed and matters of the state and policy. the vice president by custom sits as a member of the president's cabinet. the cabinet members are the heads of the executive departments of the government. such as the state department, war department, treasury department, department of the interior of labor, commerce and so on. the cabinet advises the president on matters of policy. the powers of the president and his helpers are limited. for this is a governm

have suffered was so has everybody else we cannot single out the jews those organizations in the united statesand in britain so the jews have suffered more than any other group and they need special treatment the american state department and the united nations they said no. absolutely not they need to be treated like everyone else. and then to send a fact-finding in the was not invited and not a jew and then to come back with a report that we are treating the jews just as badly as the germans did but we are just not exterminating them. and then say to take care of it is inhumane and it is un-american and that eisenhower goes to war. >> you mentioned before the cold war aspect of this. could use a little bit more about the soviet interest? and from the east. that large numbers had escaped from the baltic nations from belarus and ukraine and then to throw it uniforms to find their way into the displaced persons camps. but that they know that to go to justice. when the cauldron of anti-communist and that they are dedicated and recalcitrant and anti-soviet. but then the soviets in the polls and t

the president of the united states, the commander-in-chief of the united states, responded by saying, science doesn't know. what is that? here is the thing, mr. president. science does know. and so does the leading scientific magazine that endorsed joe biden for president of the united states. [cheers and applause] so, everything is at stake. that brings me to today. and this vote. so, by virtue of us being here together, this is a group of leaders. this is a group of leaders. so, like you, i have been asked by folks, why should i vote? and i believe there are three reasons. one, let's honor the ancestors. [applause] honor the ancestors. and georgia, for you this is a particular point of pride. in that most incredible ancestor who was a great american hero by the name of john lewis. and what we know he did in shedding blood on that edmund pettus bridge -- he got arrested 40 times. got in good trouble, told us to get in good trouble. you know, the thing about john -- and lucy knows this -- he was an extraordinary human being. john also understood that the fight for voting rights is an

it's very easy to buy guns in the united states and that is what has led to the mexicans being murderedover drugs because the united statesannot control its o drug problem our ridiculously lacke laws and bung guns is leading to tremendous violence in other parts of the americas. in the northern, same thing in the united states, though guns are trafficked from the united states into canada. in fact, canada only had one major shooting. the university in montrÉal, i believe, antifeminist remarks. it happened more tn 25 years ago. quite a long time ago. canada made major sweeping gun rules. the vionce that is occurring is because there is gun violence in canada, there is a whole trafficking of guns as well. presenting something really important. it is not only harming one another, but a lot of violence. another century as well. >> we have an audience question. a service specialist, a public library, she says she is currently reading your book and she is so glad to hear even more of your story. i like to hear the language in my mind while reading as an effort to connect tohe war and the char

my father served in united states air force in world war ii and as united states ambassador. he is my role model and my hero. his wife, vera blinken, fled communist hungary as a young girl and helped refugees come to america. my mother, judith, builds bridges between america and the world through arts and culture. she is my greatest champion. my late stepfather, samuel, he was 1 of 900 children in his school in bialystok, poland, but the only one to survive the holocaust after four years in concentration camps. at the end of the war, he made a break from a death march into the woods in bavaria, and from his hiding place he heard a deep rumbling sound. it was a tank, but instead of the iron cross, he saw painted on its side a five pointed white star. he ran to the tank. the hatch opened, and an african-american g.i. looked down at him. he got down on his knees and said the only three words that he knew in english that his mother had taught them before the war. "god bless america." that's who we are. that is what america represents to the world. however imperfectl imperfectly.

electoral fraud now i hear in the media that trump is talking about fraudulent elections in the united states so why then does he not turn to luis el magro the head of the organization of american states after all the oas know like no one else how to organize coups the oas is always watching everything that happens in latin america but what are luis l. magro and the oas doing if they're not watching the us elections americans go to elections and vote but unfortunately the country is ruled by neither the people nor the president selected by them no matter what party in fact everything is ruled by transnational companies capitalism entrepreneurs this is a huge difference from the change that is taking place in bolivia in the us perhaps more radical fascist racists are right forces will win over more moderate right forces that's the whole difference. remind of our top story this friday the outcome of the us presidential election hangs in the balance with a number of stake yet to be called democratic nominee joe biden for not stop 264 electoral votes leaving him to 6 shy of the presidency that wi
