there is american studies at just look at the american experience without looking at concurrent efforts by other states and their same host nations. the same goes for the small number of british studies as well. what i am trying to do with this work is to build in a more holistic assessment of those different security actors that to lookviding security at the liaison, lack thereof, between those states. i think this provides a better appreciation of decision-making politics involved in that kind of the system and the impact it may have had. just a briefly provide an example from another small article i am working on in tanzania. if you just looked at to what is obviously a former british protectorates in 1961, if you just look at the british experience there by way of security assistance, training upward the colonial police, you would conclude that in 1961, the government in tanzania cut size -- cut high does -- cut ties and marched off in an independent fashion. it's built-in -- it builds into the wilson center's broader agenda. archives, youli will see quite quickly that it was in fac

this is about specific americans. these are dozens of americans operating out of that base at al tanf. that missile strike put those americans in a position of having to ultimately fight tooth and nail for hours in close combat, ultimately with air support just to hold on to that base. today, the new president did an interview on the fox business channel where in the middle of that interview he volunteered and sort of an awkward new thought about syria. i should tell you, i'm going to play what he said here but it's also awkward how they broadcasted it. they covered it with a fancy cable tv animation. you can hear what he says here. >> we're not going into syria. >> so this was not the response to a question. this is the start of their segment. we're not going into syria. now, i don't know if by "we" he means -- i don't know who he means. we the trump family. if by "we" he means the united states military isn't going into syria, that doesn't make sense because the united state military is already in syria in pretty bi

-americans,euro native americans, african americans. i want to suggest to a degree some connection between those two, how the study of society and the study of nature reflect and reinforce each other. they celebrate the republican origins. is especiallyn emblematic of that connection. more on that in a bit. let me begin with audubon, and as one must, with a bird. but in this case, a bird and a book, and this is audubon's massive five volume, 3000-paged opus ornithological biography. it was written to be an accompaniment to the birds of america. he gives it tremendous discretion of the birds of america. it is a book ornithologist could use and probably still use now, very useful. but in addition to the discussions of birds, he gives us descriptions of people, the american people, as well. he does it in a remarkable and revealing way, much more than ornithology. here is an example. if audubon had been asked to name the most valuable bird, the mvb of the american people, he probably would have made an easy en.ice, the purple martie he wrot

and get this one, 1800, and 70,000 native american, and 300,000 anglo-saxon white americans. what we see here is a demographic of white populations simply streaming across the alleghenys and why is the indian population going down? disease. they don't have immunities to the especially smallpox and measles, most of them don't. and so therefore, at demographic wave begins to hit indian settlements there is, all of a sudden people start dying. and's like an artillery barrage in world war i, with microbes and viruses doing the work of the artillery shells. could this have turned out differently? washington tried to do it, and in the history of the presidency, a lot of the biographers have missed this or not geoffen not given it much significance. he makes the american economic policies to be delegated. and so he gives it and can we find a way for indian removal. to be avoided. they create the treaty of 1790 with a creek chief called alexander magirve. he's literate in english, french and greek. and they call him a tallyrand. and they say that they want to create a policy where th

so do the american people. i often say that every american has it in their d.n.a. keep your mits off of my privacy. what i consider to be private. now the consequences of passing this resolution are clear. broadband providers like at&t, comcast and others will be able to sell your personal information to the highest bidder without your permission and no one will be able to protect you. not even the federal trade commission that our friends on the other side of the aisle keep talking about. it's like open the door and there's no one there. that's what this thing creates. the republicans are blowing a gaping hole in federal privacy protections by barring the f.c.c. from ever adopting similar protections in the future. so if it's gone today, it's gone. period. the f.c.c. rules are simple. they require broadband providers to get the permission of their customers, including all of us, before they can sell their web browsing history, their location information, and other sensitive data to third parties. the majority claims that we need to repeal these protections because

the american people -- we listen to the american people. they're not enough republicans to kill anything around here. we do the best we can. we're one of the -- you know, we're not protected under the endangered species act, but we're looking to expand that to protect minorities like ours, but my view is the american people, the majority of the american people, democrats, republicans, independents, said, "not this year, and we don't want all this government, we don't want everything else." and we're not going to be defensive about that. we responded to the american people. now, it's all right for senator mitchell to come up here and blame the republicans, and that ought to be pursued by some in the media, but we responded to the american people. that's what this is all about. so i don't -- i'm not a bit defensive. neither is paul coverdell or bob packwood who'll be here in a , minute. we think we responded to what they want. and what they didn't want was a big, big bureaucracy and global budgets, and mandated alliances, and mandates on smal

specialists and people thinking as americans. 20% of american foreign-born soldiers who fought. that i came to this country to embrace its ideals. -- i react asome a european in many ways. that probablyme germany would have not won the war, this is absolutely not true at all. once you had russia out of the much --many had as france was exhausted. the british were also exhausted. they had lost, by the time the u.s. entered the war, the french had lost 800,000 men. the british had lost 600,000. lost some of by the end of the war, 1.4 million men. germany was using very young people, but they still had a lot of resources. once there was normal war on the eastern front coming you had divisions of the divisions arriving on the western front. thatam not sure at all germany would not have won the war. yes, what we can say is that probably, a monster like killer would not have come -- monster like hitler would not have come. but you would have kept an autocratic germany. the austro-hungarian empire would have remained. it probably would have been modeled differently. it is highly fascin

the americans are losing. john paul jones runs on the deck two and they go on to win the battle and capture the british ship. it is that kind of fame that john paul jones craved, he was really an ambitious person. of course, not everybody else is an ever with somebody who was incredibly ambitious. and so, he was constantly getting fired by the continental congress, and didn't get the commands of the ships he wanted. he ends up taking his baseball bat and glove and leaving after the revolution and he signs up to fight with catherine the great's navy in russia. he is hoping he will make a lot of money, and that doesn't work out. finally, at the end of his life to paris and dies in obscurity. but his name lives on beyond his lifetime, and eventually, his body which was buried in paris is brought back to the united states, and he is now buried at the naval academy in annapolis, maryland. this picture of john paul jones, done about 10 years before he died, i think is just great. he is looking off to the distance an

with american hands and american steel and yes, american tools. as we work to restore the american dream at home, we work to restore america standing abroad. that means strengthening partnerships and ensuring that friends and allies pay their fair share and that includes as we said in my little statement to paul, it also includes the nato companies and countries. we don't want people taking advantage of the united states. that is not going to happen for so much longer. everybody is going to be paying and we will be a happier country and a happier world. america's strength must be unmatched and the first priority, the safety and security of our citizens. this is the surest path to the more prosperous world for us all. we can build a better future in the spirit of this company's earliest days. great company. i recently learned that decades ago in the 1920s, when your sales m salesman entered a repair shop, a stained garage floor, he would find a spot to lay out a beautiful green felt mat. the people of the company know what that means. on that green
