vamos en vivo con pablo cato hasta washington.pablo: en efecto, el presidente trump anunciÓ el ataque que ya habÍa adelantado hace unos días y dijo que serÍa con misiles y efectivamente ha sido asÍ. estos misiles fueron lanzados desde barcos y aviones. el motivo de este ataques en represalia lo que dice estados unidos que fue un ataque con armas quÍmicas en la poblaciÓn de duma que causÓ al menos 47 muertos y 500 heridos civiles. el pentÁgono ha dicho que esta ha sido una acciÓn concreta pero que si el rÉgimen de siria sigue utilizando armas quÍmicas, estÁn dispuestos a sostener este tipo de ataques hasta que deje de hacerlo. el presidente trump calificÓ al lÍder sirio como bÁsicamente un animal y no una persona. escuchamos exactamente las palabras del presidente.

the cato institute came out with a gamut of security measures that they said already reduces the riskorists coming into the country. i would go along with the fact we don't need this travel ban. what is your response to that? >> they are wrong because of the primary power the federal government is to make sure the nation is saved under the constitution the president has broad power to make sure he can exclude citizens to impose risk under the national security power. the judiciary is proposed to defer to the president's exercise of those broad powers are not based on what cato says, but based on what the president feels is important. he asked the heads of many agencies in the united states government to identify these countries that pose national security risks and these are noncitizens of the united dates from countries that oppose national security risk. >> i'm curious of your response. they say that's not true. >> i think what the cato institute has found back to the dozens of retired generals and admirals and experts have said in this case that this ban does not make us safer. in

a constitutional scholar at the cato institute, an institute dedicated to pursuing individual liberty limited government. he founded the center for constitutional studies in 1989. allet's get clear first of what the current proposal is for d.c. statehood. in 2013, a bill was introduced in congress that would authorize congress to reduce the seat of government to a tiny enclave around the national mall in including the white house and the supreme court. and several other federal buildings and residential buildings. they turn the rest of the district of columbia into the 51st state. the district of columbia was created through the congressional act pursuant to constitutional authority given to congress. createorized congress to a district no more than 10 miles square to be the seat of the national government. >> he claims that as a result of these unclear specifications, statehood involving the district of columbia, can only be accomplished in a certain constitutional way. >> if you are going to make this change, it has to be done by constitutional amendment. although he believes it is

and also, again, on quitter -- titter, #cato 1a it's in your questions. let me begin by saying, posing a question to keith that i think we've actually talked about and many people do about this issue, is it the case as far as you can tell that the issues about free speech, liberalism, some are antiliberal, antifree speech. those seem to correlate highly with not perhaps the entire university but parts of the university in particular departments and here i would say one way to think about this would be you're more likely to have those opinions of view if your -- your one of the children and you're a post modern kind of department, if you're in english department, this is the notion that all knowledge is power and therefore that it's directly contrary to your vision of the university and so i guess the question i'm asking, these are new, they seem to be most glamorous in some ways, the most heard from in departments and they also seem to be departments that administrators are very reluctant to respond to forcefully i would say. given all of that, first of a

well, joining me now for more on that story is drjeffrey singer, at the senior fellow at the cato institutese to this initiative? i couldn't agree more with the surgeon general. this is not a controversial decision in the medical community, it's been known to use that naloxone is a very effective antidote. it's been available in this country for years, since 1971 on for several years, it's been given to first responders in many states to rescue overdose victims in an emerged —— an emergency. the fda still schedules it as emergency. the fda still schedules itasa emergency. the fda still schedules it as a prescription drugs and it's only available by prescription. most states have come up with workarounds so states have come up with workarounds so what they've done in most cases, they buy the legislated that the pharmacist can be the prescriber or in other cases, the chief medical officer of the state department of health has issued what they call a standing order where naloxone can be distributed to people going to a pharmacist but that turns out to be, it makes things less than ideal. the n

is a long time communist party cato he is regarded as loyal to the party loyal to the communist party and above all loyal to the revolution and he is not seen as a reformist as a modern man maybe open minded but certainly not a person who will come to cuba to change the system on the contrary he is being trumpeted by a whole castro and the communist party and all of the state run media in fact as the man or the candidate rather of continuity the one who will remain firm and loyal to the communist party and to this one party system the cuba has had for nearly six decades despite so much pressure from around the world for it to change the turkish president has called surprise early elections which are unannounced that elections origination jools from november twenty ninth teen will now be held on june the twenty fourth turkey is switching from a parliamentary system to a presidential one meaning that new powers for the president will take effect a year or year than planned lent is the director of the turkey project at the center for strategic and international studies he says the situat

or on the effectiveness of the strike that speak to ashford she's a research fellow at the cato institute a u.s. based think tank so much indeed for joining us so how much difference do you think that this will make to assad's ability and the inclination to use chemical weapons in future. i think it's very hard to see these strikes making much of a difference tall in terms of keep ability chlorine gas which is what he's mostly used recently is very easy to me quit chemicals that are easily available and in terms of his inclination well trust and trust need similar strikes and year ago last april to stop inside use of chemical weapons the assad regime used chemical weapons eleven times last year so these attacks don't seem to deter the regime from actually using the well so what do you think is next i mean we've heard from nikki haley the she was saying the united states is locked and loaded to strike again if assad as is believed to have used chemical weapons and again so what do you think we can expect in future from the u.s. and possibly france and the u.k. as well to be honest it's dif

was no other case since then and this parker case comes up brought by a guy named bob levy with the cato institute, interestingly enough, the nra was vehemently opposed to this litigation and it was probably too strong, but they were nervous because they were not quite sure that there were five others on the court to support an individual right's reading of the second amendment and had preferred to continue to win victories at the legislative level where they've been lawfully affected. particularly throughout the 20th century, you've had numerous examples of judicial hostility to the individual right's record of the second amendment, warranted or not and levy's death paid off. he had a good lawyer who argued the case and what the court held was interesting. first thing i noticed about it was it reconcept allizes the right and modernizes it, if you will, and they're no longer talking about militia, communal self-defense. we're talking about an individual self-defense in the home and what the court basically held was in so far as the district of columbia made it impossible for you to have
