as my good friend condoleezza rice has said the essence of america is that which unites us. it is not -- it is an idea. you can come from humble circumstances and do great things, doesn't matter where you came from but where you are going. as arm of the us government representing america around the world, the state department to america's values and our people not just in our mission but the composition of our workforce. we have a great diversity gap in the state department. we need a state department that reflects the american people, reflects who we are. the state department must redouble our efforts to increase diversity at the highest ranks of the department including at the ambassador level. 12% of senior service officers are nonwhite. that is the same for our senior executives. to better understand our talent pool i have directed the relevant committees to adopt a new procedure. every time we have an opening for an ambassador position, one must be a minority candidate. they may not be ready but we will know where the talent pool is. a big part of developing minority le

condoleezza rice talked about the nafta agreement. we importing a number of the economy.of the modern it is quite a thing. on the leadership issue, i think there are two things. what is, steve is exactly right. there needs to be a full appreciation and endorsement by leaders of the international order of the united states and have a keen explanation and presentation of what that has provided. last point, the west and the democracies have to work, right? and, they have to work for a broader part of our population and at the end of the day, if assets and assets -- an and liabilities chart, there is the future of work and expanding prosperity to more people. at the end of the day, that may be the most important thing after national security. >> jane, to your question whether the economics or securities sphere, i think nick was hinting with his reformulation the question was necessary but are from sufficient. if you do not like the term "multilateralism," i would prefer the term "collective action." we need that whether we're talking abou

this is what secretary of state condoleezza rice had to say when she was interviewed on nbc's "today" before the beginning of this summer, back in may, take a listen. >> the president is going to have to look at a wide variety of things, what is the strategy now, not just increasing troops strength and just doing the same thing. >> if there isn't an economy for this country to build upon. what are the outside influences other than troops in your opinion that the president could be enhancing for afghanistan. >> well, you know, condoleezza rice is of heroic quality, she's one of the most impressive public servants we have ever produced. we clearly need a strategy, but there's going to be no magic in afghanistan, i mean there is an incompetent, corrupt regime, the taliban, it is a potential source of international terrorism. it is a threat to pakistan, they're worried about their rear area. the economy is based primarily on the local expenditures of ally forces and the nonprofits. so, you know, nobody's going to develop minerals in the ground in afghanistan until there's security. so i d

there have been decent arguments expressed for people like condoleezza rice who have said it's an opportunityo teach people when you walk by about the darkness of some of our history. and i've heard the argument that's partially correct that if you remove some statues and where do you draw the line? there was a commentator on cnn that said we should pull down statues of washington and jefferson. people on the left are actually suggesting that. but i think there are great arguments for taking the statues down. i think a lot of these towns are looking into taking down these statues and a lot of people on all sides of the political aisle basically grabbing hold of this issue. so i think you have folks on the left suggesting everyone who supports retaining the statues is a racist and everyone who says they should come down is a nut job and i think you have president trump who's taking advantage of the situation to misdirect away from the press conferences. >> listen to condoleezza rice's point. there is some truth to that but the problem is they revere and are taught a false history of the statue

you really think he held out on the job of secretary of state until he found someone condoleezza rice approved of? i mean, every name is a strange thing that donald trump picked rex tillerson to be secretary of state. but tillerson did have decades of experience with vladimir putin. he's thought to be closer to putin than any other american. putin pinned the highest civilian honor on rex tillerson's lapel a few years ago when they completed the largest oil deal in the history of the world. a half trillion dollar oil deal between russia and exxon that is off now but could be back on in an instant if only those u.s. sanctions on russia could be rolled back. so this is this thing that nags at me and has been keeping me awake on and off for like more than a year now. where do these folks come from? how do they find their way into that inner circle? there's been a whole bunch of people in the trump campaign and in the trump administration who are, forgive me, weird choices for the jobs that they have had and for the roles that they have played. in terms of my sleep schedule, it's almost co

so my colleague condoleezza rice has actually opined on this very topic.he has said look, there are a lot of these things that may be personally offensive to her. maybe offensive to people she you go up with, but there's a role for these -- for some of the statues and monuments to remind us of a path we don't want to go down. to remind us of a darker period in history. so i think we have to be careful about blanket conclusions. this is something that local authorities have to make a decision about. so if people in l.a. feel like there's a particular monument that's offensive to people there and doesn't stand for anything but values that are offensive to a civil society then they should have the ability to remove those things. i don't think we can make a blanket conclusion. >> should they be in a public space, or be in a museum? if you want to see the history go to the museum. >> that's the conclusion that some places will draw. here's a tough thing. you know, the symbols of the confederacy are so loaded, they have meaning for so many people in a very hurtf
