billiton and i'm going merican from great britain. in but on cuz the way you community have to mikey tow and set it on have started think oh she ations about the conditions of her settlement. i once had a look at one of the i haven't been coming up yeah. there's a consistent pattern and. height of the living we were. if i had from a r.k. you know was a pretty tough road it but i mean i like the thought of for most of what you have been up and then which was thirty this is i had it's just perfect but you know by day on around this hour you're taking a stand on the steps there goes another way and we went to. iraq we're still going to be our lives at home you know i don't i'm not going to think i get the love from you know yet. you know anybody seen on this ruckus i am with guy. i and i leader that they don't want to know and only going to the side they get others imo and. that they need to get young also know the setback look when damaged by a bomb up or get what they are they said no and i mean it in their own area you know that i wou

this crisis threatens the safety of our country and thousands of merican lives. criminal cartels, narco terrorists, transnational gangs like ms-13 and human traffickers are brazenly violated u.s. laws and terrorizing innocent citizens. human traffickers, the victims re women and children. maybe to a lesser extent, believe it or not, children. women are tied up. they are bound, duct tape put around their faces and around their mouths and many cases, they can't even breathe and put in the backs of cars, vans or rucks. they don't go through your port of entry. they make a right turn going very quickly. they go into the desert areas or whatever areas you can look at. and as soon as theres no protection, they make a left or a right into the united states f america. there is nobody to catch them, there's nobody to find them. they can't come through the ports, if they come through the ports, people will see four women sitting in a van with tape around their face and around heir mouths. can't have that. and that problem, because of the internet, is the biggest problem. i

which is great news for 800,000 federal workers, and millions of mericans who depend on government services. as democrats have said all along, the solution to this impasse was separate funding for the government, and then go over our disagreements from border security. separate the funding of government from the discussion on border security. and that's what we got. and democrats, in the senate and in the house, were united behind this position throughout the shutdown. and ultimately this agreement endorses our position. it reopens the government without preconditions, gives democrats and republicans an opportunity to discuss border security without holding hundreds of thousands of american workers hostage. we expect the continuing resolution to clear the senate and clear the house this afternoon and be signed by the president today. and before i go on, i think on both of us, but we want to thank all the federal workers from the bottom of our hearts. they've worked so selflessly this past month, without pay. showing up to do a job they knew was important, but for which they weren't fairly c

in france and around the world it's the global insurrection against banker occupation is coming so merican twenty nineteen so i get your yellow vests and your torch and let's party i wanted it because it's all about the revolution. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more so more want to be. what you want to be the press was like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first city. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or prime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent i just want to secure some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building. two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can afford t

wada so what the shares responsibility here why don't you think why has to put more pressure on them mericanintelligence agencies who are now controlling. their abode and bring him to justice according to american law because in the united states it is also a crime to do what he did why does he go away and face no responsibility whatsoever for doing what he did. i don't know exactly what i can tell you because i didn't saw this materials before and as a lawyer can tell. first of all we have to understand what the real through yes this case would have to understand. we're. call how we have all this case is why we have to be responsible for it it is a possible to be responsible for one case and in this case first of all this were important for us because. i don't like speculation but wishes that evacuation he gave testimony if he had made it to his guild i mean there is no question about him playing a role in that and substituting the samples and so on that is all on tape that's the substance of allegations against russia but he never better than personal responsibility is that's right but yes

myself i don't want to talk about your political military union alliance with the united states and merican military bases in japan. but the two presidents also. talked in the detail about improving our relations economically culturally and managerial contexts but also international contacts with others for us to address complex issues i'm not just talking about the peace treaty there are many other issues that we need to work on that we have to. be partners on the international arena as well we shouldn't be in countries that are divided by. so that are in trenches against each other for example japan joined not all but many of the sanctions imposed on russia so how do you explain that. when we talk about. going to a new level low bar relations joined japan joined the anti russian statement by those made by the group of seven. and on the various issues seen the united nations japan. with japan votes against us and before going to moscow the japanese the chinese foreign minister went to europe where the meetings between the countries and after that meeting they dubbed it a declaration if you

especially given the heavy military presence in crimea right now errol so that's how it's been sold merican people the reality is very different it's fantastic be any electrical thousands of people have gathered in the capital crime and safety. i'm from upul all of us running away from a dem held last sunday in which the majority of people here overwhelmingly voted in support of being reunited with russia. democrats but each took up we're going to. slow in the in the with enough of those. we know it's of when enough. so in the media more disposable so it's. so should you know about something. but it's unfair though so it is a place in the. news not to bloomberg. news let us know but i will be putting simply too much going to. go when you will be able. to legally use the right location. oh it will be able through. all of us who are old and old out. between i do so in russia. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand the news business you just need as the right q

and russia by the americans actually china could step up to the mark and that is a concern in the merican military who are criticizing trub over not the treaty but over the decision to launch this new militarization of space how much of import is today's development sensually you've got the top diplomats of russia and germany coming out. in essentially a united front against america pulling of this dish germany have the weight to make washington second second think this or is trump and his colleagues already on the road to dismantling it. well i think germany doesn't have the weight i think people have to look at the government of germany angela merkel she's on her way out that's the first calculation but i say secondly the americas a look at the european union and think well britain may be on with the european union but britain and france are probably not going to go down that road they'll stick with the americans that's the traditional way policy we've been the germans relatively isolated and with an incoherent european union response what we have to remember here of course is germany's

well as being an affront to international law and in particular to into american nor and to control merican rights colombia as a country that neighbors venezuela the shares a border with countries all too well aware of its to of and is directly suffering the consequences of this threat posed by what's happening then as well and the tyranny in that country the forces of tyranny have seized the property of colombian companies that were legitimately and legally investing in the country as a tyranny as in the collapse to historic lows of what had been a flourishing and mutually beneficial trade relationship between our two countries and said tyranny has also given safe haven to terrorist groups that prey upon and attack the lives and goods the security and the tranquility molding a citizen in colombia so glaringly apparent other disastrous consequences of the abuses of the economy policies and society by the dictatorship that they have triggered the exodus of more than three and a half million people who have had to abandon in in despair. their homes in the quest for peace an opportunity colomb

and republicans an opportunity to discuss border security without holding hundreds of thousands of merican workers hostage. we expect the continuing resolution to clear the senate and clear the house this afternoon and be signed by the president today. and before i go on, i think on both of us, but we want to thank all the federal workers from the bottom of our hearts. they've worked so selflessly this past month, without pay. showing up to do a job they knew was important, but for which they weren't fairly compensated. the workers showed up, despite the callous indifference of the administration, who treated them as hostages, who treated them as pawns, who belittled their inancial strain. our dedicated public servants should never, never have to go through this again. we will do everything we can to make sure they won't have to. and this past month has proven just how vital government services are to the american people. whether it's our food safety, our airports, our national parks, our economy, our national security and so much else. the american people do not like it when you throw a w

ladies and gentlemen, american business is the product of merican dreamers, and is a conduit for americanreams. we are working to forge the world's most competitive workforce so businesses have a deep well of talent to draw from and people have broad opportunities to work and succeed. we are urging modernization of our nation's infrastructure because it is the foundation on which dreams are built. we are advocating for trade deals and not trade wars, because continued growth requires global engagement. remember, 95% of our customers are outside this country. we are pushing our leaders to restore responsible governing and rebuild the political center so that washington and the states can be a help and not a hindrance. and we are advancing an agenda for growth now, and anticipating the challenges that threaten our prosperity later. and we are confronting a tax on companies and assaults on free enterprise, so that business can continue to do what they do best, create opportunity and fuel the dreams of all americans. we are on a mission of dreamers, even better, we are a nation where dreams c

are the way people relate to united nations peacekeepers is completely different but when they're merican for example. started their campaign in iraq we also saw on american television how ecstatic crowds were to greet them. does it mean the. the locals extend this a welcome to. u.n. forces in this case the american forces well it's really depends thing that it depends on the finish that you're talking about it depends on on the communities. the kind of welcome that that soldiers get even know united nations peacekeepers still get a very warm welcome in some communities and same for the u.s. soldiers in in some villages in iraq so i think it's really hard to make this kind of blanket statement and to talk about the of your perception of one thousand nations peacekeepers or overall perception of united states soldiers what matters to me is what they can do with these perceptions and how they can use this perceptions to actually. guilty so on the ground and i'm not sure that that the u.s. army in iraq and in afghanistan really had as a primary goal to build peace wife or united nations peac

so in this one, he talks about the process he went through to decide to authorize sending merican troops to korea. but he also wanted to make it a united nations effort. so he tried to enlist nationalist chinese forces, forces from australia, canada, and a number of other nations in the effort. eventually did become a united nations force in korea, although the americans provided the predominant number of military troops. truman always said that the decision to commit america's forces to south korea was the most difficult decision he made as president. and the reason for that was this whole question about whether, would it start world war iii? troops had just come back from the second world war i just five years earlier. america is tired at being at war. would americans support it? would it lead to a wider engagement against china? these are a lot of the tough questions he was wrestling with. for those reasons, he thought it was the most difficult decision he made as president. and there never has been an actual peace treaty at the end of the war. it's just based on an armistice that was

we want american roads, bridges elseailways and everything to be built with american iron, merican steel, american concrete and american hands and if you look at what has happened industry, it is actually amazing. the steel industry is thriving i came it was dead when to office. it was dead. it was a dead industry. they were dumping steel all over the place. jobs were going and if any of you are in the steel industry, i cuprobably tell and know and aluminum, too, when you look t what happened to the steel industry, incredible. one of the great successes. now prices are starting to come down, they are compete withing each other. nucor, and u.s. steel and many are building plants all over the united states and as the plants open, they are themselves.th we literally were not going to have steel companies, weren't steel in in country and that in itself is very important thing. we have to have steel. there is some products you have to have. by the way, steel is one of them. talk about defense. how do you do it without steel of aluminum and the kind things we're heavily focused on. by signing

they don't think it's necessary but the number that the president is a looking at is the third of a merican to believe there is a crisis on the border this is his base this is an issue they care about i think it's also important to remember that the senate and the president never one has already to pass a bill that funds the government keeps it open that was going to happen it didn't happen until the president heard from three conservative commentators who basically slammed the president for not fulfilling this campaign promise and that's where we saw him change his mind and say no i'm going to get the border wall but that's something he hasn't been able to get even when republicans controlled both chambers of congress so if anything i think both sides just appear more dug in now what are the next things we should be looking out for expecting. friday friday is payday that's one eight hundred thousand federal workers are not going to get their paychecks and there's even more federal contractors that are not going to get their paychecks then we're going to start to see the impacts ripple out

the whole discourse and rochelle over the past two years is based on suspicions and as you know i merican like to say perception is a reality at one point all those suspicions become a reality that the bill clearly. has not only mr trump but any other president succeeding him to conduct any sensible paula foreign policy over the anyone else i guess i would say by that logic russia is more compromised in the united states since as we know the chicago council of global affairs has conducted polling of both american attitudes about whether russia has interfered with the u.s. to domestic policy and the levada center is conducted polls in russia it turns out more russians believe that the united states has interfered with russian domestic i mean that's on the record the americans bill is opposed to the internet but wait a minute we're going to say that this twenty five years ago that's twenty five years ago and god knows these until you're married but there's also been documented records of russian government interference in the united states as well so i'm not it's not entirely clear to me wh

one of them, many, many mericans feel we already spend too much on foreign aid and we are go to go to change our aid and fund money to for the purpose of family planning. i'm from medical purposes. now the vast majority of americans would disagree and would say with a $22 trillion debt we shouldn't be spending money overseas for family planning. we may have gotten a chance to debate it in committee. we have a major bill. but it goes further than that. and in committee, we should have had a debate about the fund and how it funds china's coerced forced terlsation and abortion policy. is that what the united states is about? sending money for forced abortion? that discussion belongs in committee and added to a bill under the dark of night with no discussion. goes further, it increases for family family and targeting areas of the world quote, where and reatens biodiversity endanger species. nothing about the human life. t talks about the environment. very interesting approach to take. and timely as a physician, it removes the protective language that says that the district of columbia sho

regarding our nation's water infrastructure was a true public policy achievement benefiting every merican. as you know, our nation's transportation infrastructure faced similar challenges and at a time where bipartisanship can be a scarce commodity, i believe this committee has the opportunity once again to revive this essential practice of overnance. as many experts and pundits have indicated, infrastructure legislation is one of the best opportunities where this can occur. having nicole r. nason as federal highway administration -- at federal highway administration will assist the committee and this congress in achieving this national need. she will strive to find common on nd on a bipartisan basis which to achieve needed solutions. she will be relentless in seeking opportunities and in the critical work federal highway administration will perform in working with you. she is the right person at the right time for this position. and i know she will not let you down. mr. chairman, because of that, i am grateful to nicole for allowing me to appear before you and this committee to speak in

minunutes after that, you have a confirmation from the white house and the organization of .merican statesncredibly aggressive these last three years. then the cascade of other countries. the level of coordination suggests powerfully this could not have been very spontaneous. but it is not just that it comes from the last two weeks or even in january. this is now about a year and a half's worth look, if we look at it, hang the foundation for the groundwork for precisely what happened january 23. after the election, after 2017 when there was a massive protest that happenened against the governmement of maduro, people lilike those in the united stats specifically took k the calling, anybody in v venezuela who would try to negotiate or to run in a trtraitor. the woword they used. which powerfully suggests the center of gravity of the opposition around 2017 and 2018 shifted from the domestic plane to the international plane. and although the conditions on the ground continue to get worse , in part because of the sanctions steve mentioned but also because of tremendous degrees of mismanagement

native american roups, it showed that they trusted them as friends, and in exchange for that native merican communities were provided first and other goods that the british wanted and this of olized the open road trade and alliance. french-canadian war the british empire, especially amherst said, we have expenses so we're going to reduce the amount of gift-giving that we give, and is, we don't have to worry about the french anymore, to worry e don't have about the french we can ignore diplomacy with native americans really created a problem because native americans as reciprocal and ongoing. o you couldn't hold a treaty one year and just wait five years. you were supposed to renew these regularly, annually, or every two years. and so, what would happen is holding ded to stop these treatise and these gift giveings, and so the response to policies in the west were just like those in the east. here was opposition among colonists who said, how could you restrain us? just fought this war. we were on the front lines of this war and now you're trying restrain us to the seaboard? we thought this wa

venezuela i mean the fact that now we're seeing brazil colombia argentina and a host of other last name merican countries indorse the opposition leader you know we're seeing a particular interest on behalf of the regional neighbors. well obviously it's been a long time now since many of the south american countries the largest south american countries have been pushing up the organization of american states they formed a group called the group when they leave the lima group to try to pressure president . before the elections were held during the elections and after the elections but none of this had worked and this group has been growing it's been receiving more support especially since countries like brazil have changed governments now there is no law they there has been a tendency to more conservative governments in the region particularly in south america and so they have now aligned themselves with the position of the united states and we have seen even more interesting now interestingly now in the last twenty four hours the e.u. which had basically refused to endorse one waythe all as the

like officer singh did when he sought his chance at the merican dream. that dream was taken. it was taken because we don't have a secure border. we can't let this continue. as we work to open the government, let's always keep he focus on what this is about. it's about securing this country, the secretary of homeland security has made it clear what it's going to take to secure our border. president trump is following through on what that -- on that commitment to keep america safe and hopefully as we work through the weekend we can get a resolution that achieves all those objectives. president trump: thank you very much. thank you. [reporters speaking] reporter: they said the meeting was contentious, he said that he was quoting you that the shutdown could go on for months or a year or longer. did you say that? president trump: absolutely i said that. i don't think it will but i am prepared. i think i can speak for republicans in the house and republicans in the senate, they feel very strongly about having a safe country. having a border that makes sense, without borders, i've s
