can you talk about that in relation to the concept of american exceptionalism and maybe rank it compared to something like climate change? another thing. i have been in iran about three years ago for about two weeks with eight other americans from minnesota. it was a fantastic trip for me. when we were traveling one time, on the highway, we notice the facility, massive, surrounded by what looked like miles of fence, chain-link topped by barbed wire. it was in the distance, smokestacks. we thought, what is this place? when we got to the sign identifying it, it did not say any company name. it was like, white lettering on a brown background like we might have in this country for a government facility. the words on it were, electrochemical plant. host: ok, douglas. let's guest: a response. guest:the caller mentioned a couple of things. one, i would love to hear about the nature of your trip. i think any resilience you may see in the iranian people or magnanimous things you may visit from culture, history, music you see in iran today is in despite of these policies from the islamic republic.

and my plan is intended to provide an exception to the typical ways of american exceptionalism? well, i would say that it's exceptional in his desire historically and his desire to be equal along the 1st, which was the product of its long efforts to join the european concert of the european balance of power. the european grew club of great powers and also the fact that he was part of the club for about a century and a half what we have 2 centuries. then it's exceptionalism is also a reflection of the fact that he's pretty much the only remaining great power of this kind. now, in europe, or even in the brother world, right. the tragedy and the state of russia is that this club of european, great powers of which it's wanted to the parts for such a long time is no longer there. while an interesting observation you're making that russia is perhaps the only, as you said, power that sort of peers through these, that perception of being impervious on the part of the americans. and if we hear, if you listen to them or in the speech of american policymaker, they say that, you know, they'

and in that sense of the 1st century and a half of american history passed in exceptionally secure conditions. right? that explains so much in the transformation of the united states of america, inter major power, a global power of power that was actually superior. right. and it's in its capacities to any of the european great powers of the previous period. right. and then of course, comes the cold war, which as i would argue for a very long time, was still an f symmetrical confrontation given still the grade discrepancy in the resources of the, to the site as well as in the level of security that they enjoy. but still, i would say that the most significant achievement as well of the soviet union was to close that gap in terms of the, again, relative security that the 2 sites enjoyed. and in that sense, of course, i would say that the, so it's unions compromised show will say, then better security to the point of leading a lasting impression on of that. again, the approach to foreign policy on their collective stakeholders, you on the perception of russia even today, but you know, weeks are i

agree with with eileen that developed some played a role in defining a sense of american exceptionism. i think that precisely because the american colonists american revolutionaries did were so culturally british. they needed a way to define written once they're an independent country and they did this lesson terms of of culture than ideology rights. they said that what makes you american is that you believe in republicanism the with us people who believed in monarchy so to be american is to is to believe that the people should govern and and this makes us in the world. so that then when you had party conflict in 1790s between the federalists and the democratic republicans the democrat republicans would call the federalist tories as a way of saying you don't really believe in the people, right? so this becomes a smear a word and this is really holds i think into the 20th century one of the things that helped i think change at least among scholars a review of the loyalists is a increasing interest in the late 20th century and the history of of native americans and african-americans peo

i really do believe when you think of american exceptionalism it the three pillars of american exceptionalism are our faith, god, our freedom described in our founding documents and our vast natural resources. the combination of those three things has created a nation, the likes of which the has never known, and so study that understand that. and in your time be ready to defend it. and i know your well doesn't. thank you. and we're here. we have time for one final question. thank you. oh, yes. vice president pence, my name is brandon. thank you so for coming here today. it's really an an honor and a privilege. thank you, brandon. i think a, when you mentioned the idea of having integrity, i think that's a pivotal part of character development and i guess one of the main questions i've had is i think bipartisanship is kind of it's been kind of difficult in recent years, especially in congress. there's been gridlocked congress all throughout and legislature has been difficult to pass. and in your experience, what you think is the best measure to really ensure that both partizanship can really a

so i think the myth is american greatness and exceptionalism. yes, absolutely. and so let's talk about monuments. let's talk about what they mean us, where they stand or do not stand. and why they matter? yeah. so they matter. i mean, because america says they matter, right? there's not one european country. you can go to. and even in the united states, where there isn't some -- of an of what america stands for and the monuments speak to what values so that says then what america values are these heroic white men that forged ahead a new frontier. and i think to miss that is to miss the purpose of the monument that it it's a marker. right. one only needs to go to the old testament and how they lay the stones, their markers to tell the story of what happened here and when you miss. telling the story of what happened here. you're not telling the full american story. do you want. tell us a little bit about the monument that you proposed in the book. yeah. so the monument i proposed the book in some ways, this is you know, i mean, part of what i love about emily's wo

position and say things that challenge the view of american hegemony, american, empire, american, exceptionalism, militarism, you know, so what i, when i talk to you when i do interviews around the rest of the world, i mean, i'm a mainstream media constantly around the world, but never in my own country than weird because i'm going to question the wisdom of american policy. but that's one example, but that's what they're supposed to do. that's what i was trained to do. that's what the reporters during the vietnam war did. that's what dan rather and brinkley, and humbly and, and all of these guys did. and they were the greatest journalist of our time. and they asked the questions and they criticized the johnson administration. and they criticized what was going on during vietnam because that's what journalism is. all about what to, to see them to criticize what we're doing and say we need to do it a little differently or ask whether it works makes you a good journalist. and further, i would argue, a real patriot egg. totally agree. and i make this toy all the time on russian t. v. i said that you

i mean, it's american exceptionalism. this idea that the u. s. has to be in control of the world in order to prevent world war 3. unfortunately, that thinking is probably going to lead to it. odd. china is extremely concerned. it's, it's not, you know, they, they really do fear that there could be a nuclear war if russia is pushed more arms go into this. eventually, you know, that it spreads the contagion. and at that juncture, you know, it all bets are off and, and quite frankly, they're concerned about whether the u. s. is going to use this as an excuse to, to cause trouble in more trouble in taiwan. so they see a lot of parallels, a mirror of, you know, using proxy countries as tools to weaken, i, what they perceive is competitor. so at this juncture, us eyes, not some entity to be trusted. and china knows that. but they're looking outside of that area. they're looking to europe at which has, you know, visceral interests involved in this. they're looking to the rest of the world, including the global south to say, listen, we don't act together
