the studies is on the rio pact of latin america. there is a shocking to me absence of engagement at black culture centers -- that let and culture centers in america. there is no usia yet, so they're going through the office of inter-american affairs. there is no concerted effort i can find to even say the words truman doctrine at libraries and cultural centers. these are in latin america, which itself thanks to the rio pact, is a cold war alliance older than nato. it is the first one, really, and you would not know it even happened because there is not any sort of programming that i can identify that said welcome aboard, latin americans, to this great crusade. it is a non-issue. it does not happen. because of the emphasis our culture places on exchange students, you are right -- those things dominate. for at least one large chunk of the public diplomacy focus on culture. there's good evidence that is the stuff that actually works because of the relationships that can form, and they certainly did put a hard premium -- the u.s. did --

and you now do latin jazz big band. explain, kind of, what it is to have all of these different instruments coming in at the same time, different rhythms, too. >> right, right. well, the reason the music is so exciting in and of itself is because of this rhythmic heritage that we inherited from west and central africa. and at the crux of it, at the core of it, is a rhythm that we call clave, which is the keystone of the music. and i could... discussing clave, i could be here for hours discussing it. but it's very, very simple in its essence. it's almost like the simple equation that einstein used, e equals... >> hinojosa: who, by the way, is one of your heroes. >> yeah, yeah. e equals mc squared. in this simple equation he explains how energy and mass, et cetera, and all that is all interrelated. well, it's the same thing with clave. it's five attacks. and from this (plays 3-2 clave pattern) we get all of the rhythms that we utilize today in afro cuban music, in funk, in rock and... >> hinojosa: one-two-three, two-three

>> yes, of course. >> okay. [ up-tempo latin music plays ] this is big. what's in here?>> that's an oven. >> this is an oven? >> yes. >> from 19... >> probably 1920s. >> and it works perfect? >> yeah. >> the workers i met in the kitchen -- two engineers and a lawyer. like their bosses, they make more here than they did at their government jobs. where does everybody come from? where are they trained? >> we trained them all. >> so, they came here looking for a job? >> yeah. >> you took their engineering clothes off, and you made them chefs? >> yeah. >> and you taught them step by step by step. >> what they got to do. >> everybody likes sugar. >> yeah. >> right? everybody likes chocolate, too. but on the day i visited, there wasn't any. why don't you have the ingredients? money? >> both: no. >> because they are not available right now. >> chocolate's not available? >> the exact kind of chocolate we use, dark chocolate, like more than 40% of solids. >> and so it's not available? >> right now it's not. >> you cannot find it at any store? >> any store. >> i'd like to see where

how do you think he's doing so far in latin america? and i have my own -- i guess i have to admit i'm positively surprised by how he's oriented and where his team is headeded and what direction they're headed on with a couple of different crises they're confronting and how do you rate that and what do you think his biggest priority is. >> i think there is a willingness to engage in the western hemisphere. it's not like we're going from an era of hyperengagement to dramatic drop-off. by and large the western hemisphere has been largely neglected since the end of the cold war and that remains the case and you see that both in the professionals entering the field and also where the attention is and for obvious reasons, right? after 9/11, a lot of the focus was on the middle east and now with russia, crimea and ukraine that's captured a lot of attention and the history of the 21st century will largely be determined by the relationship of china and the asia pacific region and an understanding that regional stability is the one of the most im

latin america is a tremendous success story.when i first started teaching at stanford i taught a course called the role of the military and politics. i always had several latin america i could talk about. night look in latin america and most of the big states are functioning democracies. brazil, chile, peru, colombia. we by the way one of the things i wanted to do in the book was to say to people democracy promotion is in iraq and afghanistan. that's a security problem and that's very hard. but colombia is a place we help bring back from the verge of it being a failed state. so the big states of latin america are actually doing very well. there are a few slackers that are still hanging on. and the cubans are still making trouble in latin america, but they won't last. those regimes i think will not last. the place that i most worried about is venezuela. this is a horrific situation. it's used to be a middle income country that now people can't find food and they can't find medicines. i don't think there's a contagion factor to th

latin america, china was very interested in latin america, i tried to focus my book not just on where china was interested in or where it carried out initiatives but where the u.s. also saw china as a threat. it was only in areas where there was competition that i focused on. i don't think there was really competition between the u.s. and china and latin america, at least during the. i'm talking about. the u.s. was much more concerned about fidel castro and the soviets in latin america. the example about namibia, this issue about china bringing its own labor, i think that is something that has become more and more of a problem in contemporary chinese projects than it was in the 60's. i think during the 60's, you are right, indicates the case of the tanzania railway, there was thousands of chinese workers that were sent. i think there is also some appreciation in ways that these workers were toughing it out in africa. the reaction was a little bit more mixed. i would say that if you like at the range of african opinions about china and chinese aid in africa, today, they are very divers

latin america is a tremendous success story. when i started teaching ice touted course called role of the military politics. i had several latin america -- to talk about now you look at my america the most of the big states are functioning democracies. brazil, chile, peru, colombia. one of the things i wanted to do in the book was say that democracy promotion is not iraq and afghanistan it's a security problem that is hard. columbia is a place where we help bring back on the verge of a failed state. so they are actually doing very well. there are a few that are still hanging on the cubans are still making trouble in latin america. but they won't last. the place i'm most worried about is venezuela. this is a horrific situation. this used to be a middle income country that now people cannot buy food and medicine. i don't think there's a contagion factor for the rest of the region because the countries are pretty strong. but i think the organization of american states should say, enough. they need to arrange for that regime to be v

we have great partners in latin america. most people in the city don't know it. we have great partners in that partnership begins really with colombia and mexico and everything in between. and they want to work with us. our drug demand is brutalizing their societies the failed, the near failed states that exist in central america, are a direct result of our drug consumption here in the united states. that's where the fight starts. with our partners. the incredible amount of tonnages of drugs that they take off the flow every year. makes us looks like we're not doing anything here in the united states. and in the number of, they have great soldiers who are killed. police who are killed there. their journalists who are killed. their attorneys general who are killed. prosecuting attorneys. it starts down there. and as we move closer to the border, the collaboration between the united states and mexico is paramount and is very close. but physical barriers work. they work where they already exist on the southwest border to increase the physical barriers and increase t

and latin america where we were really not always on the right side. they would take the side of the dictator. wasas very aware that this a tendency that they had. he studied very carefully what they would do in south vietnam. we were running and ignoringnism the fact that we were supporting a dictator. it is a very complicated story. basically, there were shots fired at one of our patrol boat. president lyndon b. johnson rushed through congress, a resolution in 1968. it really gave him the ability to do whatever was needed to support and protect south vietnam. it was the beginning of the escalation of the vietnam war. he believes it was not a true declaration of war. it was a needless and reckless and ultimately damaging resolution. he was correct, it led to changing our country in ways that are not completely understood and calculated. that is a major event in the history of our country and it created a lot of concern about our trust in government. he was correct. at the time, he was the fiercest critic of the and not want. at the same time, he was l

latin america again, some differences across the latin american nations that we surveyed. mexico stands out as a place in this year's survey that has very negative views of the us. you can see that a little bit on this map here. this is a map that illustrates the change in us favorability since the last time we surveyed in all of these countries. red countries where there has been a negative change. dark gray is where there has been essentially no change. blue are places where america's image has improved on favorability measures. so there are only two blue countries on the map. when is vietnam and i would not make too much of that. i believe the change in vietnam was from 78 percent favorable to 84 percent. it went from already very high to slightly higher. i think the big change was in russia. i believe the numbers there last time we surveyed in 2015 was 15 percent favorable and then 21 percent this year. so again, different places in the survey russia is in ally. lots of dark red in europe, lots of dark red in latin america. the darkest lead in mexico. as the country wi

latin america where we really were not always, in his view, on the right side. they would take a side of the dictator against the people. he was very aware this was a tendency that the u.s. had and so he studied very carefully what we were doing in south vietnam. sobelieved we were running running so hard against communism and ignoring the fact we were supporting a dictator. it is a very complicated story. basically, there were shots fired at one of our patrol boat. it was a question of were they intentional or were they really fired. president lyndon b. johnson rushed through congress, a resolution in 1968. called the golf -- golf of tonkin resolution which gave him carte blanche to do what was to support and protect south vietnam. it was the beginning of the escalation of the vietnam war. he believes it was not a true declaration of war that it was a needless and reckless and ultimately damaging resolution. towas correct, and led changing our country in ways that are still not completely understood and calculated. that is a major event in the history of our co

there were no caucasian sailors or african-american sailors or asian american or latin american. there weren't gay or straight sailors. they were united states sailors. united states navy personnel. and they come together in the camaraderie to serve our country and serve each other as shipmates in a way that is gratifying to witness and special for our nation. i want to mention who these soldiers were because they need to be memorialized here. xavier martin was from maryland. shinga douglas, okinawa, san diego, california. riggsby, palmyra, virginia. the philippines. grandfather who was filipino served in our united states feaf. now tran haun vietnam, oakville, connecticut. noah henderson was from texas by way of guatemala. and finally, gary rim jr. from ohio. the "daily beast" told me something about gary that i wouldn't have garnered from "the new york times" story that was so wonderful as it described the backgrounds and the rainbow that these seven men made of america. gary rim was due to be -- finish his service in three months. and he considered everybody on that ship, all
