the president of america is not just the president of america, the president of america is the president for everybody and that's been the case becauseof this is the country whose military is more powerful than the rest of the world's military combine. america is the guardian of liberty, some people might not like that, some people might not think that that's necessary. the reality is that we wouldn't want anybody else to do that job and somebody has to do that job and i'm very thankful that it's america or i wouldn't want it tt be china, i wouldn't want it to be north korea, i wouldn't want it to be anybody else. so i think that the only country that is in that position that's got the morality and, again, we go back to alexis, the famous who said that america is great because america is good. when america seizes to be good, she will seize to be great. i think there's a moral case for america to be the world's policemen if you like. again, it's not pretty, it's not sexy, it's not something that we really want to talk about, i know that a lot of americans feel uncomfortable evenn conserva

europeans feel abandoned by america.merica has been a very strong and safe partner over the years and now that donald trump is saying he is not going to pay for european security and he is asking european states and other states to make a stronger effort financially to pay for nato, we feel -- europeans feel abandoned by america. the second feeling they have is -- there is in europe, it has something to do with european integration. it is the first time an american president is not in favor of the construction of europe. and so, that triggered a lot of concern, especially after what happened in the u.k.. this is the first time european people fear an american president will be in favor of the end of the european union. there is concern. if you ask a different people about donald trump, of course the answer is going to be different. if you ask marine le pen's supporters, then you have a very different answer. the answer is the one i just gave you. marine le pen is very much aligned on donald trump's ideology. marine le pe

>> it was the europeans who first when they heard that phrase "america first" feared that america wouldot get involved in the second world war. what do european countries make of this notion again of a not just using the phrase but determinedly suggesting it is going to be american interest, american needs, america's economic needs that come before all else. >> there are two things to be considered. the number one feeling in europe and in france in particular, there is a feeling of abandonment. europeans feel abandoned by america. america has been a very strong partner over the years and now that donald trump is saying he is not going to pay for european security and he is asking european states and other states to make a stronger effort financially to pay for nato, we feel -- europeans feel abandoned by america. the second feeling they have is -- it has something to do with european integration. it is the first time an american president is not in favor of the construction of europe. concernggered a lot of especially after what happened in the u.k.. europeanhe first time people fear an

more prosperous america, and a great america again. that is why the american people elected donald trump as president of the united states of america, and president donald trump is already delivering for the american people.

america is great because america is good.when america ceases to be good she will cease to be great. and i do think that there is a moral case for america to be the world's police.it is not free, sexy or something that we really want to talk about. i know that a lot of americans feel uncomfortable even conservatives, being referred to that way. but the reality is that the world needs a leader. much like in any marriage or any partnership, somebody has to lead. in america has to leave. >> let's go back to your moral clarity comments. should gay marriage be reversed in this country? >> personally i do not support same-sex marriage. i think that at the heart of it is this chronological bigotry. this idea that because we live in 2017, somehow we are smarter. and we are more educated and we are more refined. we know better and everything else that has preceded us, they did not know they were talking about, they were bigoted, they were biased and we should disregard that completely. because one of the things that really sets us apar

the present of america such as the present of america. the president of america is the president for everybody, andnd that's been the case because this is the country whose militaries more powerful thanca the rest of the world militaries combined. america is of the guardian of liberty.or some people might not like that. some people might not think that's necessary, but the reality is that we would want anyone else to do that job and somebody has to do that job. i'm very thankful that it's america or i would want it to e china. i wouldn't want it to be north korea. i would want it to be anybody else.dy else. i think the only country that is in that position that scott the morality come and again when we go back to de tocqueville who famously said america is great because america is good pick when america ceases to be good she will cease to be great. i do think that there is a moral case for america to be the worlds policeman if you like. again it's not free, it's not sexy or something we really want to talk about. i know that a lot of amer

america is more popular in poland than america. literally. for the europeans to look at this as uncertainty and uncertainty is bad in the markets as you know. i's bad internationally. if this is in service of a policy, that's one thing. to me, cutting off an ally like australia is not a policy, it's a spasm. >> you have to wonder, was he looking for the one line on the refugees? is that what he wanted to come out of the call? look america, i'm not going to let refugees come in. i think it's playing more to that than anything else which is umpb unfortunate. there's a lot of issues. >> pulling tpp out there. you have the pm on the phone, don't blow it up over refugees. >> talk about what's going on in the white house, what donald trump's intentions are and people around him. rex tillerson is standing by his side, waiting to get sworn in. the person focused on foreign policy issues. a person who wants to be part of the conversation whether it has to do with iran or australia. then mike flynn gets on the podium and says iran, you are on notice. w

america is mindful of that. that's why america won't walk away from the asia-pacific region.or with those souls who fought and died for the values of that made america great. they are never leaving those shores. and that's what america will never lose and should never leave the asia-pacific region. but, of course, the dynamic shifts. america somehow is expected to solve every problem around the world. i get that the burden can sometimes be troubling to the american people. when you lose your job in chicago or detroit, and jobs in depth going to china or laos, or to eastern europe, somehow if you are feeling as magnanimous as you might have towards international interest. i get that. australia has had that. even china has said that, by the way. china lost 19 million manufacturing jobs between 1995-2005. automation, robotics, companies moving their manufacturing to cheaper destinations with lower wages. it happens. it happens. the question is how do you lift the tide so that all boats rise? america has been good at that. australia has been very good at that. australia hasn't ha

america and policy affecting rural america up until 1950 was strictly agricultural. and maybe until 1960. and the bulk of that agriculture was the commodity crops, wheat, corn, cotton, rice and soybeans. timber was a little bit different, but it was viewed as a crop. and agriculture has changed so dramatically and depopulated because of production increases and productivity and other kinds of things that we're left with a deep populated area, but the programs were designed for an area populated by farmers. and now it is just much different than it used to be. that's the challenge, ray, as to making these political decisions. and we're probably not going to change the constitution in the short-term. so maybe president might want to change it, but the rest of us probably don't want to change it. but i would ask you how much -- you talked about the forest service, state tax credits, the federal government pumps a huge amount of money into rural america. it is not -- in fact, one could argue it is almost disproportionate through water and sewer grants, business and indus

it was no secret america had tarnished the image of america in the world.people saying you guys have got problems domestidomest. really it's no coincidence gillespie's tour of all of those places, south europe, middle east and south asia got approved the same month. civil rights is tipped off at the same time saying yes, we need those guys to go to africa to kind of put a good face on the united states because our image has been tarnished at home. it tipped off two decades of state department sponsored jazz tours. and then right away you can see kind of the integrated nature of the band. you have basses, drummers, saxophonis saxophonists, you know, traveling together and living together. that's the kind of image the state department wanted to put forward. they wanted to say hey, look, this is what we are. not the stuff you hear about back at home. this is the image of america they wanted to portray, a positive image of everyone getting along together. lots of state department motivation. we are see that they had rather different reasons for going along with

ian: like much of america, this is a story of 2 worlds. baltimore is something of a boom town, but it doesn't feel like it in many parts of the city. in this economy, there is no trickle-down. gun crime is surging. baltimore was even more violent than chicago last year, driven by gang turf wars. for some residents this is a city where selling your body or drugs is the only job available. if you want to know what poverty looks like in america, this is it. this entire block is made up of abandoned houses. some people are living in between this. under president obama poverty grew. president trump says he will fix it dealing with what he calls the carnage of america, the crime of drugs, gangs, violence, and poverty. there are few places better than trying to do that than baltimore. he has lived here for 40 years and repairs homes. an eyewitness to the worst that baltimore has to offer. the single houses, the row houses in baltimore city, where they are generally rat-infested regardless of what you do as a person living there. epidemic in bed b

he has tried to make america sick again. he has instilled fear in communities across america and he has allowed russia's grip on his administration to jeopardize our national security and undermine our democracy. putting wall street first, the republican congress and trump administration moved quickly to enable profiteering by wall street -- his wall street friends at the expense of hard-working americans. just two weeks into his administration, president trump acted to unravel dodd-frank reforms, putting main street back at the mercy of wall street. on the same day, he eliminated the rule that financial advisers act in the best interest of their clients and house republicans have also made it harder for 60 million americans to save for retirement. these actions will worsen the conditions that fueled his candidacy. president trump engaged in a bait and switch agenda. no jobs, no retirement security and no health security either. instead of acting on jobs, republicans will make america sick again, declaring all-out war on aff

this sex all three countries in north america. being energy independent in america is one thing. being north american energy independent, in my view, should be the goal. the way to achieve that is closer cooperation. that also includes closer cooperation around climate change, around the environment, emissions standards. we are yet to see what the president will do with the paris climate change record. it is a pretty clear signal coming already that there is a backing away from that, as we saw with kyoto. that is problematic. if we are not holding to account china, pakistan, india, ourselves, we are whistling past the graveyard on these important environmental issues. going it alone in that area is disaster. david: u.s. energy exports to mexico could themselves errors the trade deficit. i'm going to stop the panel so we can have questions from the audience. there will be microphones irculating. introduce your name, your question. i will take three questions together. first question here in a second row. >> diana negroponte from he woodrow wilson center. if the key political probl

if america decides to withdraw from the world, if america decides to step back, if america declines and our influence around the world becomes less palpable, what will replace it? and there are only two things that can replace it. not the u.n., not -- there is only two things that can step in whatever america leaves that it steps back. number one is totalitarianism. for the growing movement around the world led by china and russia and north korea and iran, totalitarian regimes. that is the first thing that could step in and fill the vacuum. and the other is nothing. the other alternative to america is nothing. it is a vacuum. and that vacuum leads to instability, and that instability will lead to violence, and that violence will lead to war, and that will ultimately come back and impact us, whether we want it to or not. this is the choice before us. so without a doubt, i am the sponsor of a law we passed last year, foreign aid accountability. i want to make sure that every dollar of american taxpayer money that is invested abroad for these purposes are spent well and aren't going to lin

what america does, we tax people based on whether it's produced in america and so that means we do not tax our imports and we tax our exports and we're putting american-made products at a huge disadvantage. there's a built-in bias in our tax code to outsource manufacturing and reimport in this country. that's not good for american jobs. that's not good for american manufacturing. that's not good for american economic growth. and so all we're suggesting is, let's equalize the tax treatment. let's be fair to ourselves and let's treat ourselves like every other country is treating them. so when we make something in america, let's put it on a level playing field with everybody else. let's take this tape recorder. i hope i didn't turn it off. this is an olympus. i have no idea where that is made. sony made in japan. oops. [laughter] all right. american-made tape recorder. japanese-made tape recorder. here's what japan does when they make this tape recorder. when they send it for export, they take the tax off of it and then it comes to america and it's not taxed and it comes here to compete

that drives growth in america. that business investment and the productivity that goes with it is what has been missing from this recovery. to ensure we leapfrog back to the lead pack and keep it there, we are proposing we replace our worldwide tax system with the territorial approach that made america tax and usa. unlike foreign competitors, the united states does not currently tax the sale of products based on where the sale takes place. instead we tax based on whether those products are made america or they are headquartered here. this tax is one of the most antiquated, uncompetitive and anti-growth features of today's u.s. tax code. made in america services and intellectual property at a direct advantage at home in the same abroad. worst of all, it provides a direct tax incentives for businesses to move their jobs, their investments in research and headquarters outside the united states. businesses --y the best place to access the u.s. market is from outside the u.s. market. that can't continue. for the first t
