however, with respect to national affairs, national security, foreign affairs, they're at its apex.he president, of course, has control of our nuclear weapons. the president can make foreign policy just by walking out of his office to the microphones in the rose garden and project and state u.s. policy without asking anybody else, any member of congress, any other branch, what they think, and can state u.s. policy and that's it. obviously, the president's commander in chief of the armed forces and can use that power to project authority anywhere in the globe. so the president has the amazing powers in the areas of national security, limited ones in terms of the economy, so again, another reason why we're here talking about that this afternoon. so i want to proceed with my talk with that introduction, speaking a little bit about the history of national security and presidential elections. i'm going to talk about how the different candidates are framing, what i mean by that, what is the big picture that they see of national security issues through, how do they view the united states'

complicated because your is not a nation like united states and all the a nation can have a national currency but as long as you will be is not a nation and vince that will never be a nation it cannot have a common currency economic disparities notwithstanding do you think the euro was a good idea at least in the theoretical sense not currency behind the idea of to your is the wrong idea namely said we can form united states of you or your. with a currency. if we want to hear if united states of you or if we need a political union we need to come in constitution we need common referenda of sioux people we need what we do not have in your op a common come in people come in their most united states is a nation but you will be is not a nation your visit diversity of nations and diversity of states and any state is responsible for the valve of its own citizens of its own people and therefore it cannot be bought together a common currency and the sponsibility of the states for their own people you make a point that the stereotype program said damaging not only for europe's financial healt

making national security decisions. things like he did about going to afghanistan and announcing agreement to withdraw troops but commit to long-term future of afghanistan and having the nato summit in chicago recently. these things are going to keep taking place over the course of the election. generally they occur to the advantage of the incumbent but of course there could be crisis or things that make foreign affairs issues that don't go the way we might like like economic crisis in europe and of course the incumbent is then held responsibility for those things whether or not he had anything to do with it. that's a mixed bag but i think in general that advantage accruise to the president. i think we'll see him tone that down to a large regard while he keeps advocating for military spending, i think he's not going to make a lot of noise about afghanistan or iraq. i think he said enough on that record to maybe hurt him a little bit during this election campaign. and to the extent that romney has advocated things that m

national activities. such counterproductive fbi practices waste law enforcement resources, damage essential relationships with those communities, and encourage racial profiling at the state and local level. in my native new york, the new york police department has targeted muslim new yorkers for intrusive surveillance without any suspicion of criminal activity. according to a series of associated press articles, the new york police department dispatched undercover police officers into muslim communities to monitor daily life in bookstores, cafes, nightclubs, and even infiltrated muslim student organizations in colleges and universities such as columbia and yale universities. when we tolerate this type of racial profiling in the guise of promoting national security, we jep die public safety and undermine the basic ideals set forth in our constitution. in the context of routine law enforcement, policing based on stereotypes remains an entrenched practice in routine law enforcement across the country. the tr

buckley was the founder of the national review magazine. david keene was a guest lecturer at the citadel military college in a course called the conservative intellectual tradition in america taught by professor mallory factor. this is just over an hour and a half. >> thank you very much. let me begin by thanking mallory and indeed, the citadel for this opportunity to talk to you about my old friend and mentor, bill buckley. you should know that the opportunity to attend a course like this is almost unique in american higher education. i'd like to just begin by reading a reference to this sort of thing from the chronicle review, the chronicle of higher education written not too many years ago by a columbia professor. he says the unfortunate fact is that american academics have until very recently shown little curiosity about conservative ideas. even though those ideas have utterly transformed american and british politics over the last 30 years. a look at the online catalogs of our major universities confirms this. plenty, of course, on ide

the first national census was taken in 1790, and in 1790 the nation had 3.9 million people in it. by 1810 on the eve of the war, 20 years later it almost doubled to 17 million people. so this is a nation that's rising rapidly in terms of its population growth and it's a nation that is looking very explicitly to its rising population numbers as an index of its strength. it's telling individual people that they can really contribute to the nation by raising families, what one author called rising families of freemen and that's a very big part of patriotism in the nation in this period the formation of families and where this relates back directly to the caller's question about problems with commitment and problems with unity is that if you're telling the people to serve the nation by starting families, well, the requirements of a good family man, staying home and protecting home and hearth are different from the sacrifice that you have to engage in in order to serve in the military and serve the country at large and in the early years of the war when the country was largely reliant

like turkey versus a breakout nation a nation like indonesia you know what differentiates these economies and what are the different opportunities and i just have about a minute here. sure so i think that assad is in a country like turkey are concerned you know what's remarkable about them and some of the reason that i'm bullish on them is that i'm better sort of commodities in general and durkee is one economy that does not have a single commodity export it's basically completely reliant on imported commodities so if you get lower commodity prices that helps turkey indonesia on the other hand benefits from higher commodity prices but i still like indonesia because i think that they have been managing that commodity when for quite well unlike the brazils and rush years where i think they have not used that this commodity boom of the kid to build any meaningful investments and they've used it all on the consumption side of the equation which is not very healthy so the key and indonesia at some level are quite different in that one is a commodity importer almost in full the other one export

whatever one's views of national security leaks, mr. chairman, the critique drives home why the white house prosecuting national security leakers will be a legally fraught proposition. thank you. >> thank you very much. we will have questions under the five-minute rule. and first i will recognize the gentleman from california, mr. lundgren. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman, i appreciate that. does anybody believe that the laws this we are talking about, particularly the espionage act, would not properly come into play with the alleged revelation of our participation if true in the stucksnet virus or the flame viru virus? >> i'll give the law professor answer. i think it depends on how that information was actually disclosed. so -- >> well, well, okay. you're going to the question -- are you suggesting that it's a question of overclassification? >> no, sir. i'm suggesting that there could be situations where information is disclosed because an official who has the authority to authorize such a disclosure provides that authority. i do

elderly yes these changes came only recently that they just imagine if your national team takes a total of eighty or ninety medals out of c three hundred into making it into the top three but standing low in terms of gold medals with just five or six story fans are really frustrated and you're my boy and his game but we know that very often the gold medals are won by a tiny breakaway such as a split second or a sim go through an extra pedal over nor or a breath of wind in your sail of water in my opinion three being peak dard for the olympics he's already huge achievement for an earthly because they have already qualified the shortlisting based on their scores over the four years mind you selection criteria are really rigorous in many sports well it's a matter of national pride for russia to do well in the overall medal count and landis personally after shamefully poor performance in vancouver two years ago more in russia's expectations and a report now from spotlight here in the me they were. there when the games are no longer just about the celebration of human physical ability and th

leaks of national security information can compromise all aspects of our national security program. they can compromise specific national security operations, as happened in 2006 with the disclosure of the treasury department's secret program for tracking terrorist finances. they can compromise human sources, as apparently happened when it was recently reported that a saudi source had helped to foil al qaeda's recent airplane bombing plot. and keep in mind that whenever sources leak sources -- a source's identity or existence is leaked it not only negates the effectiveness of that particular source, it undermines our ability to develop and cultivate sources in the future. cleex can also compromise our methods as apparently is what happened in the alleged use of malware to attack the iranian nuclear weapons program. they can certainly endanger our government personnel like the cia chief of station who was publicly outed and then killed by terrorists in athens in the 1970s. and importantly, they can weaken our alliances. those operational relationships between us and foreign services

dialogue and the establishment of a national unity government. as we're alone charging one is a task all the sound national forces in syria and now is exactly the right time for it with his walk that was your. french foreign minister has announced that the final document the geneva conference dictates that president assad should step down at the same time russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the document does not provide for absolute resignation how would you explain this conflicting interpretation in mother get out you can have that the bargain. from a diplomatic perspective the text of the final document allows each of the parties to interpret it in its own way none of the parties is either willing or capable of making concessions as far as governance in syria is concerned therefore each party regards the document based on its stance viz a viz syria but notwithstanding this difference in interpretation the document is definitely a step forward and we should build on it in the future we'll zoom. and it was only made any year peace with th

of the national guard, directors of the army and air national guard, the general, the senior enlisted and most importantly, the sacrifice and commitment of the citizen soldiers, airmen and their families. today i sit before you with confidence that you're national guard is more ready and capable and a rapidly deployable than ever before in the nation's history. and also, ready to respond to disasters in the states, territories and the district of columbia. the past decade has also demonstrated that the national guard is an operational force and a critical partner with the army and the air force in all missions, all contingencies and on the north american continent. today our nation faces the challenge in threat environment one that is asymmetric and more dangerous than any other in history. these threats come in many forms. the citizen soldiers and airmen of the national guard or skilled combat veterans and they will continue to provide value-added solutions to the national security. if confirmed, i will work to ensure the capabilities gained since 9/11 are not lost and the investment

just as we remain a nation of laws, we have to remain a nation of immigrants.t is why as another step forward, we are lifting the shadow of deportation from deserving young people who were brought to this country as children. that is why we still need a dream act to keep -- it is why we need, what american success demand comprehensive immigration reform. the lesson of these 236 years is clear. immigration makes america stronger. immigration makes us more prosperous. immigration positions america to lead in the 21st century. these young men and women are testaments to that. no other nation in the world welcomes so many new arrivals. no other nation constantly renews itself, refreshes itself with the holt and drive and optimism and the dynamism of each new generation of immigrants. you are all one of the reasons that america is exceptional. you are one of the reasons why even after two centuries, america is always young, always looking to the future, always confident that our greatest days are still to come. so to all of you, i want to wish you the happiest fourt

this development of nationalism out for national mystery nationalism in europe but then because the moment the main reason it's to do with contemporary politics i know economics robert that. history now and that's that's not to say that history isn't important course because there are many many lessons of history which are open to the contemporary crisis seen believe this the worst crisis that here are right now is experiencing if that is to last or get worse that will also. but it would also incite that they rise of more national nationalist sentiment i think there is there is a great danger of that if the eurozone collapses the e.u. collapses the most likely. is that they will be replaced by different forms of nationalism. the question is what forms a national somehow extreme and dangerous take on herself i think there are great dodge nichols that's the historical lesson of what happened before the second world war particularly in the one nine hundred for that is where you had a similar crisis the world we got from now on the result that cause of the rise of nationalism extreme nationali
