[laughter] but it is nice to have somebody here from the aei. brooks well, d.j.: when the president said that, i was just thinking -- what was going through my head was, please don't look at me, please don't look at me. [laughter] but you notice when bob said this -- about the social darwinism, he pointed at me. so i'm more outnumbered than my thanksgiving table in seattle, let me tell you. joseph dionne jr.: you just have to look into your heart, arthur. and in fact, that's kind of what i want to ask you to do here. i mean, your views on these subjects have actually changed, and i think it's one of the reasons you wanted to join us today. back in 2010, you talked about makers and takers in society and a culture of redistribution. but in february 2014, you wrote a very important article and commentary -- the open-handed toward your brothers -- and you said we have to declare peace on the safety net, which i think is a really important thing to say. and as the president suggested, the safety net we have has actually cut poverty substantially. so

my name is marc thiessen, i'm a scholar here at aei. this just over a week, congress will vote on the nuclear deal president obama negotiated with iran, a choice between war and peace and he says there's no alternative to this deal and those who oppose it are making common cause with the hard liners in iran. that group includes the senate democratic leader chuck schumer, bob menendez, the current democratic chairman of the foreign relations committee ben cardin and our speaker today, vice president dick cheney. vice president cheney is the author, with his daughter liz, of a wonderful new book called "exceptional: why the world needs a powerful america." in it he suggests that president obama has few diplomatic accomplishments, but there is one accomplishment he has this iran deal is so bad, that he's not only united israel -- ladies and gentlemen, the vice president. [applause] >> well, thank you very much, marc. i hadn't thought of that. [laughter] probably the first time chuck schumer and i agreed on anything. but he's welcome to the

tom: tom miller, aei. if i could highlight what david and jim were talking about, the distinction between the appeal to style as opposed to the appeal to programmatic liberalism. kennedy certainly went out of his way to try to seduce the intelligentsia. we talked about john mccain in 2000, his main constituency was the media. kennedy was more the intellectual class. we see a contrast between that, in terms of that enrapture in with the kennedy style and the style of the time. you've got basically a supply-side tax policy, rearming the country, massive buildup in missiles, the re-engagement in vietnam, and going fairly slow in terms of the things building in the mid-60's, medicare. wasn't going anywhere. civil rights, kind of slow going. wiretapping martin luther king, the whole works. it didn't matter, because the guy talked good and gave great speeches. put this in the larger cultural context. the 1950's regarding the liberal intelligentsia, eisenhower was boring. the guy didn't talk right. if we don't ha

[laughter] but it is nice to have somebody here from the aei. brooks well, d.j.: when the president said that, i was just thinking -- what was going through my head was, please don't look at me, please don't look at me.

aey have been fighting for time in me since they gained independence in 1948.he opposition leader: rebel leaders not to rush into a deal. at least 11 people are reported injured after a powerful storm. coastal areas west of tokyo were hard hit. the localized flooding. it caused the cancellation of dozens of services and half million people were advised to seek shelter. it weakened as it moved north. window 65 kilometers to nine d. back to the markets. the global rally did not continue in the u.s.. stocks gave half of the gains playing -- back. there is speculation of new stimulus. of course we have the nikkei serving -- soaring. the biggest jump in seven years. chinese stocks gained yesterday. the government will step in to boost the economy. all of that fizzled out when equity markets open in the u.s.. chicago, you in flew all the way to hong kong to see us. a lot of your clients no doubt. this volatility, in 2014 we were complaining about where is the action? look when15 going to it comes to volatility? >> it is an opportunity. people watch out for what they

aey will work to bring government together that will work in the office behind me before going to negotiateh the madrid and they said brussels. is madrid the party on the prime minister? know got a drop in this election. they say they got to the mandate and momentum and a number of the big hurdles ahead of them. page plan before the vote, drawing up plans to set up a central bank and diplomatic service and tax authority. the central government is going to go to the constitutional court to try to slow the process down. they do not have a great deal with the world but not as strong -- wiggle room but not as strong. jonathan: tom mackenzie. more from fredrik nerbrand at hsbc. rik, politically the eurozone is very fragile. we know that. what we've learned over the last year is that has meant a little for financial markets with maybe the exception of greece. what would you say to anybody who said imd is is a ties to the fragility -- who said i am desensitized to the fragility? fredrik nerbrand: it matters from an ecb perspective. it is fragmented and getting more fragmented and we have other iss

get aey are going to nuclear weapon, that's for sure. if they don't already have it. interviewer: how do you feel that the use of the atomic bomb on japan? dieter: there is a story that oppenheimer walked into truman's office and said, i have blood on my hands. and that is the last time truman ever spoke to him. what choice did the commander have at that moment in history except to authorize dropping the atomic bomb? he didn't have a choice. as gruesome as it was and horrified as i and my colleagues were at that time, i feel it was the correct decision. it brought an end to the most horrible war, saved millions of lives, american and japanese soldiers. do i feel a personal responsibility? of course. i took part in that. was it the correct decision? i think so. men talked to quite a few who were in europe, fighting in europe, and at the end of the european war, they were sent to new york and transferred to san francisco and they were on their way to japan. when the bombs were dropped, they were very happy that they didn't have to fight in the pacific. several guys who

those at the aei today listening to his speech. that's about it. >> what do you make of this idea?ney and his daughter, they want to talk about iran and what it sort of terrifying regime it is and how it's growing larger. and yet fail to acknowledge the fact that one of the largest geopolitical boons to iran, unquestionably was the war in iraq. they have essentially a proxy government sitting in baghdad. we have, you know, members of, the quds force and all sorts of iranian power being projected into iraq, all of which is a result of the iraq war. >> you could go on in that regard, chris. i can't understand why this man who is portrayed, for example, in the monumental biography of brent scrocoff. at least 30 years of his career, and i saw him as secretary of defense a rather brilliant strategist, brilliant man. all of a sudden he's turned into this person who simply cannot recognize reality. i can't explain it. maybe it's physiological, maybe it's biological. maybe 9/11 did something to him. after all, he was in charge when 9/11 happened. the greatest attack on the american territo

interest question, i do think it's some place when you look at policy people, i do a fellowship at aei and half my colleagues agree there should be a way capital and labor income are taxed the same. when dave camp, the republican chairman, proposed a tax reform, he talked about closing the carried interest loophole. the problem when they talk about this, all of a sudden you get the left, the democrats excited. this is a tax hike. this is a tax hike. more revenue. when camp was pushing, we're going to cut taxes in some places and then get rid of loopholes in others and that's not a place that ends up getting any bipartisan support because in both parties the special interests have so much sway that the loopholes have more political clout than the idea of lower rates. >> that is definitely true. i think that in some ways you get a situation here where there's political hay to be made. there's a fairness argument being made by trump and it's the kind of argument that is pretty anathema. the money we're talking about is pretty small. it's not going to plug any huge deficits. it's not going

we will be live parts of this with hash tag mchugh@aei.now you know him well enough to have shown up to be here today. mr. secretary, thank you for coming. it's a pleasure to sit and talk and learn about not what is next for you, but talk about looking back a little bit for a moment and then we'll open it up for questions and get you out of here on time. there's been a lot of things with what the army was dealing with and it's been a wild ride. you've dealt with significant challenges. >> i arrived when things were very painful after two theaters of war and we knew pretty much where the challenges lie and what our missions were going to be. we knew who our friends unless friendly opponents were. as you noted, didn't have a habit of turning around on you. if you look at the last 20 months particularly, certainly from the army perspective, the many missions and challenges largely unforeseen. even ebola in west africa. we had thought about the united states in the foundational for spare to hear what the challenge and we were called upon and d

he is also aei senior fellow and fox news contributor.mbassador, thanks so much for joining us. >> glad to with you. melissa: a lot of people might be wondering why are these folks, why are they going to europe and to america rather than staying in the middle east going to somewhere like saud saw, other countries in the region? >> i think there are two aspects tothe problem. the first this is a failure primarily on the part of turkey. you know, it is not like this is the first refugees crisis the world has faced. since the early 1950s there have been conventions an international agreements require turkey as country of first asylum, to take care of these ref few fees from syria. i think in part what turkey has done here is sweep the problem into europe to try to reduce the number of refugees on its territory. germany is the second part of the problem. exacerbating the crisis in europe by saying it would take 800,000 syrian refugees. that is 1% of germany's entire population. they didn't ask austria or hungary or any of the other countries

he asked what i think are fairly basic questions if you have been briefed by aei or cato or done any that normal republican candidates do. >> anyone could have seen this coming. weeks ago trump said when asked where he got military advice said he watched the sunday shows. it was clear he was not being briefed at this level. the comment about the leaders not being in place maybe by the time he takes over. it is smart of him probably to focus on the kurds/quds things because the rest of the interview was far worse. i think he can make this about him versus an unfair media. >> and ron christie, he is getting some support. but i'll go back to what i was saying earlier. is trumps just first response is always just shoot from the hip, i don't know, i don't know. but just trust me. this is going the best thing of all time if you just elect me. i don't think how relevant that is for so long. >> i agree with you. the comment by the time i become president i'm going to know more about these gentlemen than you to to hugh misses the point. if you are running for president there are a lot of fore

aey are nervous about having government that's not strong enough.ey want the opposition in parliament they want not so many members as to disrupt the course of government and to weaken the state. if that's the case the opposition might choose to become less distinctive. the workers party might come to look more like the other. by the same token, the most distinctively incoherently different from the php may also make a technical decision to move to the center. if that happens the result is havetechnocracy would triumphed over politics. feel. opposition did >> i think so. you see candidates who are highly credentialed people with phd's. you could make the criticism that being highly credentialed can also cast you in the same elitist light as many members of the party. these members were also able to connect and communicate well. high oratorical skills. it was her much in the conduct in the campaign. they were very good candidate. thank you for that. angie: things for that. japanese software maker bids to go private for small premium. ♪ angie: we're t

i'm here with the aei values and capitalism conference. >> great. >> and my question is how you would think lewis and tolkien would answer the question of how to know the world and still love it? they obviously knew the pains and evils of the world in a very are specific way having gone through world war i. so they obviously -- and they obviously produced books to -- >> yeah. >> -- further the good and trueness of the world. so your thoughts on that. >> boy, that's a terrific question. i'm thinking here of lewis and what so characterized his journey to faith and then so characterized his life -- and he'd been through a lot, just like tolkien, lost his mother at a young age, first world war. he was caring for an elderly woman through much of his life. all kinds of struggle and hardship. but the experience of joy that lewis learned to make part of his life, the ability, the capacity to stop and to appreciate beauty, physical beauty or moral beauty, he developed that capacity. and i think that's a learned trait. i'm not sure it comes naturally to us. i think we have to decide we're going

aey will keep the yuan at stable level. that does not sound like the market is going to be helping determine the value. >> they put exchange rates and a market-based mechanism, which is a good move in the right direction. the central government intervenes and tries to stabilize exchange rates. for the medium to long-term, i think the central government is committed to further move the exchange rates into the more flexible market-based -- i think it is very important. stephen: what stillness to be move another step closer from the imf's perspective? >> from our point of view, it is the way to move exchange rates. i think it is very important to the market-based -- gradually. also, to make sure -- needen: does the renminbi to be fully floatable to be included? >> not necessarily. edging closerre to fed day, september 17. he said the time is not yet right for a hike. >> the fed -- we understand their position. we see the job market number is improving but still not very strong. inflation is very low. there is room for the fed

aey said they do not want competitive devaluation, but low export numbers will increase pressure on them to guide it downwards. that is what we will look out for in the days to come. manus: the ongoing debate is speculation that there is going to be more government intervention. they've bought more than 9% of the free-floating stock market so far. i mean, what is your take on that? big questionhe there is how long can they keep this up? so, we just got foreign reserve data yesterday. it showed reserves were much lower as the government has basically defended the yuan. so, you know, what we are looking for us how long does the government wants to keep this up intervening and the stock market but more importantly intervened to prop up the yuan? toy said they do not want have a competitive devaluation, but that may back them into a corner. do they have to keep spending that money to prop up the yuan or allow it to devalue and risk more capital outflows? manus: francine: thank you so much. manus: japan is particularly exposed to china, which is its biggest trading partner. the data out this

aey said, i don't want to buy car that looks the same for going on 7, 8, 10 years now because all thes as had such success, it has had the web shape. it is a car that is much more sleek and less stubby then prius has been known for for more than a decade now. guy: how does what toyota is doing with the previous compared to what is happening at tesla? this is in some ways not a comparable product, but how do the to sit buy -- sit side-by-side? craig: you do hear people make the comparison between prius and tesla because prius paved the way for any cars that had alternative powertrains whether it was electric or plug-in hybrid or fully electric like tesla is pushing. any people talk about electric car now, they talk about a model s or model s challenger. with prius, that is what you heard about any new price -- hybrid. you heard the prius fighter. no alternative powertrain vehicle has been able to touch the kind of volume that prius has managed. in 2010, when the car was at its peak, did more than 500,000 sales. to give you perspective to how that compares with what tesla is doing, the

aey have also developed student tracking system that tracks over 30,000 students at against itity hundred unique identifiers. georgia state is doing a remarkable job. they now grant more bachelor degrees african-american graduates. we're are very proud of georgia state university. >> committee members, thank you for the opportunity to be here today. the author georgia state university would someday be invited to testify on a hearing of student access seemed very remote. they stood at 42%. graduation rates were 22% for hispanics, and 18% for black males. georgia state lost tens of millions of dollars in state appropriations while simultaneously doubling the number of at risks tunes. and one of the most at risk. under the leadership of the president, we made a public commitment. we identified obstacles that trip up students and pioneered a dozen innovative and large-scale programs. georgia state was dropping more than 1000 every semester from baruch passes because their students couldn't cover the cost of tuition and fees. many of these students were seniors that are only a semester or 20 w

aey will try to impose negative signal for the entire automotive industry in germany. whether they succeed, it is not clear. diesel engines are produced everywhere in the world. i think there are similar problems in other companies, too. diesel is very clean, but you can always impose standards so that it will become very difficult. for carbon dioxide. it is not that clean when you get down to nitrous oxide. that's why paris has a smog problem. what does this mean for the future of diesel? sinn: it is the problem of the world. you can always find when you have technical devices standards that do not fit. for example, there are now led lens coming from china and the german industry says they do not satisfied our safety standards. why do they say that? in order to get rid of competitors could i think this is a similar thing. one should not overblown it. one should take it as it is. it is a minor thing and it is not such a gigantic aspect , which some people give it. xi jingping hans: we just heard a view from one of the most preeminent economists in germany. it is a mino

aey will also be voting on resolution or statement that would say the president should not lift sanctions until january, giving enough time for these other questions on whether the clock has started taking or not. those,ct the first of the resolution, that has already passed. tellingt the resolution the president not to lift sanctions until january to pass. we expect a revolution that resolution that will approve of the deal. -- that they disapprove of the deal. they will do a resolution of approval that they wanted to fail, rather than succeed. >> what happens if nothing makes its way to the president from congress? >> the house is arguing the clock has not started ticking. that is a bit of a legal problem for the president, and may open up for a lawsuit if somebody can find standing to sue over it. the president believes that as of september 17, he has the authority to lift the sanctions. the senate has agreed with that essentially. as of next week, if congress takes no action under the law that congress wrote in the president signed earlier this year, the nuclear review act, the presid

aey are not going to have veto. it has to be a majority vote. as long as the eu and the u.s. will be on the same side -- which only is it congress approved this deal -- as long as the europeans and the u.s. are on the same side they will always be able to override russia and china objections. last one on the missile program in iraq. again, i would like to see it region -- a region that has far less weapons. but it is important to keep in mind what has motivated the iranian missile program. theng the iraq iran war iraqis had much more advanced weapons, similar to what you see in the region right now. missiles tod scud attack iranian cities. they had the iranian capital with ballistic missiles the iranians have to be deep inside of iraqi territory to be able to in their capital of baghdad retaliation because they simply did not have same capabilities. at the end of that war in 1988 both sides were convinced that would not-- peace last and that the other side would use weapons of mass destruction at their earliest convenience. been the driving force of the iranian missile progra

norm from aei. sandy, let me direct this the first at you. the ranking democrat on the foreign relations committee agonized a long time and finally announced he would not support the deal. but has said he's going to introduce a legislative package that will include more resources for israel in the event of additional terrorist activities on the part of iran or supporting them. a path wway -- you think this ia good idea as a follow-up? and two, is there any prospect that this could actually provide a different kind of coalition of support? in the aftermath of acceptance of the deal that would move us away from what's become a very sharply partisan issue. >> i think there'll likely be some other addition. as long as it's consistent with the treaty and doesn't initiate any part or trigger any provision of the treaty, i personally have no problem with it. a number of those things are things that the president has said or has committed to. and probably won't be terribly happy -- constructive to have members have something that could vote four. whe

dick cheney is going to say in the speech today add the aei, this deal will in fact allow iran to attack the united states with a nuclear wep weapon. he's also say i know of no nation in history that has guaranteed its own means of destruction. republicans will point to this and say this is why the deal shouldn't go forward. this is a vice president, a national security expert. democrats i spoke to said, look, if the republicans want to roll out dick cheney, there architect of the iraq war, a staunch neoconservative, so be it, let him come out and do this. we do not care. so i think you'll see conservatives rally behind this, but honestly, the thing i'm interested in, jose, tomorrow, donald trump, ted cruz, sarah palin having a rally here on capitol hill to try and get opposition to this iran deal going. we all know that dick cheney gets some headlines. donald trump, he gets the mega headlines. >> indeed he does. luke russert, great seeing you. thank you for being with me. again, senator joe manchin is expected to announce his decision on the iran deal in about a half hour. we will pass

moveon.org said this is the best -- guest: the people in iran still want to see americans dead, and aey will wind up having nuclear weapon at the end of this deal. we're not going to be able to ensure they have one during the time of this deal. and, the money will be released that will fund terrorism. seeterrorists also want to us dead. this is very concerning to me. i don't want my children and a world, where they graduate from college, facing a world where iran is armed with nuclear weapons. host: back to our calls. lee is on the line from oregon, democratic caller. caller: good morning. they for taking my call. thing that concern me yesterday is that the other republican candidates will sign this pledge. donald trump is a demagogue. we had demagogues in the 1930's, who blamed our problems on the jews. we had demagogues when i was a teenager with mccarthy who blamed our problems on communists. now, we have donald trump, and all her problems are blamed on illegal aliens. when will someone of the press, like what edward r. murrow did, what donald and say trump is. the basic andg to stin
