indians are american city and-- citizens and they should have all of these rights. when you look at it and i did not get into it too much, but the book gets into all these questions about what the actual rights they are being denied, so for instance freedom of the press on some of these reservations is severely restricted. if the tribe does not like what a local newspapers written about some tribal law that has been tapped or something they have said about tribal legislators, they will ban or could ban the news-- newspaper from being sold on the reservation. there was just a supreme court case this year about the rights of people in trouble court and there is a question about whether you have been granted due process and the trouble court. the association for defense lawyers in the us has actually written several letters to congress complaining that people who have been accused in certain kinds of cases have not been granted the right to lawyer, granted the light-- right to a speedy trial and all these things we take for granted in the rest of the course of us as a

yes, my grandparents came from japan but they were hard-working immigrants who wanted to be american citizensre was a law denying immigrants from asia to get american citizenship. yet after pearl harbor, after japan bombed pearl harbor, they saw us as the enemy. we were all initially categorized as enemy aliens. they had a registry and they got all the japanese american names. american citizens of japanese ancestry. and they developed a registry. and one of his surrogates even used the word precedent, our incarceration as precedent for a muslim registry. >> you are afraid that it's possible that that sort of thing might happen again only with muslim americans? >> they are talking about muslim registries, aren't they. and he himself talked about banning muslims from entering this country, with no basis in fact. yes, there are some muslims that are terrorists. but to have a sweeping statement in the same way that we were characterized as the enemy simply because we happen to look like the people that bombed pearl harbor. we are three generations here in this country, yet overnight, we became th

many people don't realize they are american citizens. that is a fundamental thing when i go around talking to audiences i think some of the talk you hear about tribal sovereignty as its impact on its audience where they think are you a citizen of another country, argue part of the country. they are citizens and should have all these rights. when you look at it, the book gets into all these questions about what the actual rights are that they are being denied so for instance, it is severely restricted. if the tribe doesn't like with a paper has written about the tribal wall that has been passed or something they said about the tribal legislators they could be in the paper from being sold anywhere on the reservation. there have been and there was a case this year about the rights of people in tribal court and there was a question about whether you've been granted due process and the tribal court. the association for defense lawyers in the united states has returned several letters to congress complaining that people who have been accused i

i was an american citizen. sorry, not used to talking so much so i'll have to water myself occasionally. so after he arrived in germany, he was contacted by the regime as promised several months after arriving in his mother's home. siebold initially refused the startling office to go to the german espionage service. go there yourself, he told the man -- the man who approached him, identified himself as dr dr. gasner, appropriately spy worthy fame, but when siebold refused dr. gasner threatened him and he described the clothes he would be wearing when he was laid out in his casket. in fear for his life, siebold asked for the month of august, the month of august 1939 to think over the plan, as you can -- as i'm sure you know perhaps, the most momentous in 20th century history. on august 23rd the hitler-stalin pact was announced which gave hitler the opportunity to invade pole land without great worry from the power to the east and on the same day that hitler launched the blitzkreig against poland commencing world

to be kept in the dark, to not know, to have the uncertainty, and to be a young child with an american citizen child and perhaps having an undocumented parent, or to be a dreamer and not know about your future. it is our job to do that and to call that out to the president-elect. we want to do both. we want to make sure we are calling out rhetoric and actions that we feel are threatening to our communities, but we are also extending a hand out to say, we are willing to work for the. -- work with you. you promised to work with all of us and we want to help you do that. >> at the end of the day, if we can do things in a bipartisan way, we want to do that. like janet and wade said, my job is to create economic and education opportunities in america to ensure that we left all, to ensure there is no hate and bigotry and to promote pluralism. we have asked mr. trump through direct letter on november 18 to do this. he has not responded. as president of the united states, we need to find ways to have that president bring people together. just like when there is common ground, like there was in the las

indian american citizens uniformed have been victims of terror. consultations with the leaders it's crystal clear that the terrorism is on equal grounds with a nuclear threat in the organizations that threats to their security. in iraq where we are partnering with the government to defeat isis, iran is directing militia but ar putting at risk the stability of iraq to defend the dictator guilty of crime against humanity's and in the violent suppression of the millions. they are working with the rebels to threaten saudi arabia and jeopardize the broad security. in lebanon, hezbollah held hostage the process of forming the government for over two years and they continue to transfer sophisticated weapons that threaten israel security. what is clear is if you don't have two work hard to identify the fingerprints of terror across the region for the leaders in this type of unconventional warfare it is just enough to keep the region off-balance and more than enough to ensure constant unpredictability. the network is a shared a challenge and we must look a

i was an american citizen and that they were not. so i hav had something they wana very desperately. they needed a bath s that so wed stay together. so, i remember every prayer and every wish is that my parents got these papers that they needed so we could stay together. we managed to live our lives but it was certainly scary and i know anybody that has been through this experience knows how intense it is and how interesting your life can become when you are living in the shadows. so, i grew up with this dream but i also had another dream that maybe one day becoming an entertainer, performer, artist. so when my parents were deported because of their lack of documents, i decided to stay and pursue my dream which was to stay here and finish my education and try to live out my own dream in the country we love. i know it's corny, but i always put them in there. yesterday i was making a video for this event and i put that in and i sit in the country we love and then i think it and i felt embarrassed and my friend was like just own death.

like to be involved in discussions of the situation room on the most controversial issues as an american citizen there was no greater privilege and i can't imagine a greater thrill than being there for the birth of a child to served in that capacity. at the white house is the most recognizable 18 acres in the world and people come from all over the world to catch a glimpse. why is it so important and special, because the most powerful person in the world is making decisions every day. myself, clay, so many other dedicated americans have a privilege to serve in the white house and with this president george w. bush. >> there were so many things covered as i said earlier in÷÷÷÷ such detail. talk about the many things revealed in detail than i ever knew about. talk about the biggest revelations in your mind that were written about and addressed in the book they would find new insights and understanding abo about. within a week after 9/11, president bush addressed a joint session of congress. there was a great uncertainty that we all remember and a time of unity and pride. justice thomas came up to

exactly where that goes and what to do will american citizens wind up paying more money for these goods that are produced as you pointed out with the iphone, it's kind of a complicated picture, but having the general theme out there, for companiesed to think about, i.e., can we figure out ways to lower and engineer our costs lower and still do great work in the united states, that's a perfectly great theme. doesn't mean there won't be things that happen outside the u.s. but i think it will force companies just to think a little harder. >> ever talk much with bill gates. you said we drifted apart. he has his life, i've got mine. where do you guyed -- guys stand. >> we drifted apart. i've said about what i would say on that topic. i'm fired up about what i'm doing, and i dub seems like he is, too. >> he's big into philanthropy. and warren buffet said he's going to give money to the bill and melinda gates foundation. what are you going to do with your billions? >> well, that's probably the thing that i have dealed up the most, since i retired. my wife spent ten years looking at child welfa

i think we were all happy earlier this year to see american citizens that have been unjustly held by iran returned, irrespective of the circumstances under which that happened which were less than ideal. but one of them was not robert levinson. he's an american other has been missing a very long time. we've seen in february that iran arrested a person whose son was arrested on october of 2015. my question iran using unjust arrests of american citizens as a tool of state craft to assure it gets benefits in the future? if so, was that incentivized surrounding the releases we saw earlier in the year? >> i think iran sees the detention, persistent detention of u.s. citizens and its own citizens at times as definitely a source of leverage to achieve a broad set of objectives. at the same time, there is, as i mentioned earlier, a dose of pragmatism in the regime such that there is the possibility to broker negotiations, to secure the release of our citizens. but ensuring those negotiations happen systematically and are synchronized in such a way that we are not rewarding the bad behavior bu

i think it's foolish for donald trump to try to single out american citizens for criticism, for a decision he's going to make. it's going to be a long four years and he hasn't even taken the oath of office yet. he's going to have to realize his policies, his deals, are going to be subject to scrutiny. what i admire about chuck and the steel workers in many of these companies is they can have disagreements. they sit down across the bargaining table. they try to work out a deal that's good for everybody. they can shake hands and move on. and they will continue to have disagreements. but this got very personal and it's incredibly unfair. it certainly takes the spotlight i think from trump's perspective off of what he's trying to achieve, which is boosting manufacturing jobs in the united states and appealing to working class voters, attacking one of their own is probably not the best way to do that. >> you know, it's a really interesting point that you raise. one of the things we heard chuck jones say was, look, he didn't keep 1,100 jobs. it was 800 jobs. 300 of those were administrative, amo

you're an american citizen, of course you have a right to your opinion and discuss it but you're not just expressing your opinion you're trying to effect the outcome of a presidential election in which tens of millions of people voted and you are in effect saying that we as the 538 electors have a right to change the result of the election and my question, where did you get that right? you said you were elected by whom? >> i didn't vote for you. >> you asked -- well the people of washington did. when people go out and vote for president, they're actually voting for a slate of electors. that's clear in the constitution and that's really where i get my right. the constitution, the instructions, the founding fathers left for us regarding the electoral college. it's our responsibility to some someone who where he believe is unfit for the presidency who may be a demma god and may be connected to foreign powers to stop that person from becoming president. >> you answered my question but not in a way you thought. you were not elected by the people of the state of washington, but way very sm

they say they know plenty of american citizens, hundreds of them wanting to go work at mar-a-lago.have hundreds of candidates for hospitality like servers, cooks, chefs, bartending and the rest of it. while mar-a-lago asks the federal government for dozens of h-2b visas for workers every tourist season, the private club has asked the local placement agency for help in finding ra local employee, quote, only once in the past decade. apparently they needed a banquet server really fast just one some time last year. so they went down to the local place to get an american for that job. but they only did it once and it was only because they, what, didn't have enough time to get somebody over here from burkina faso in time for tonight's banquet or from wherever else he prefers to bring in his people. but that's not the -- bringing in a local person from a local employment agency? that's not the way he likes to hire. and so the president-elect will be bringing in from foreign countries 19 people to work as cooks for $12.74 an hour. they're getting their pay cut from last year. they got over
