this was a nation to nation attack. two weeks before the inauguration this year, president-elect trump met with the intelligence community for a briefing on the russian scandal, on the russian attack on the election. remember at the time he was repeatedly insisting that there was no russian attack whatsoever on the election. he kept saying that. and so once he was president-elect, the intelligence agencies asked if they could please brief him on their evidence to show him in fact the attack had taken place. almost immediately after that briefing he issue a statement saying these professionals wanted to brief him to tell him the operation has no effect on the outcome of the election. that is not what they told him. that was not true. the intelligence professionals did not tell him that, and that was not the purpose of the briefing. in fact, they've said publicly that they don't know what the impact was of the russian attack on the outcome of the elections. the week after had he put out that ridiculous statement, the foll

states as a single nation. as such, preserving the union gave the appearance of nationalism. by answering lincoln's call, northerners chose to emphasize the same rights that southerners did in leaving the union. only they used it to cooperate with lincoln. in doing so, they placed nation above state and realized -- and relied on the union for national authority. that was an alliance between lincoln and the governors and it reinforced the union. but it did not mean that they lessened their commitment to local government. on the contrary. they kept popular sovereignty alive and pitted agrarian and industrial resistance against each other. lincoln understood the fusion of state politics and nationalist ideology and state governors compromised union. national and state levels navigated the shoals of nationally sure in and conscription. when lincoln expanded his aims to assist governors in maintaining support for the war, it tested popular sovereignty's limits. the secretary of the navy addicted as much early in the

that's why it's in our national security interests. that's why it should matter to all americans, as well. this is important for us as a people because it goes to the core of who we are, but it's also in our national security interests, and we can't ignore it. we also can't ignore the countries that made this possible. if you are a country led by vladimir putin like russia is, who is going before the world and saying this was the rebels, this wasn't the regime, that's absurd. that is fake news at its highest. it's grotesque that they could say it with a straight face is even more troubling. this would never have been possible had they not had the cover that vladimir putin has given assad. and it leads to this question, anyone who supports bashar al assad in doing these sorts of things and tries to cover for him on the international stage and actually votes to international organisms to protect him from sanction, they are at minimum accomplices in war crimes, which is why i reiterate my belief that vladimir putin is a war criminal, who

was founded, and there was no nation in the world more intent on founding the united nations at the end of world war ii, than the united states. in 1945, when the u.n. charter was signed in san francisco, it was politics that woodrow wilson began in 1918. another remarkable artifact in this room, and there are so many, but relating to world war i, is this sculpture. this is a gift to woodrow wilson from a young artist. he was a philippine artist in his 20's, who was studying in the united states, and had a day job as a waiter. one of his regular patrons was a woman who was the secretary to the first lady, edith wilson. the artist had done this project as an art project, as a grad student, and told the woman he knew associated with the white house that he had done this in 1919, inspired by president wilson's efforts to bring peace to the war. he was invited to meet with president wilson. i read his account of coming to the white house, with the statue under his arm, wrapped in a towel. in those days, one did not encounter the secret service until you rang the doorbell. he was announced,

philip: religious nationalism is the idea that to be a full citizen of a particular nation, you havelong to a certain religion. in the case of the united states, that typically has meant christian nationalism, though some accommodations have been made for other faiths. most religious nationalisms, including american religious nationalism, tend to think about history as a cosmic struggle between forces of good and evil, and they place the nation on the side of the good, and its opponents, internal and external, on the side of evil. in other words, they think the line between good and evil runs between people and groups rather than running through them. charlie: how much do they take that from their own religion? philip: it is interesting. i think these are features you find in religious nationalism throughout the world and in very different traditions, but when you are thinking about christian nationalism, it developed within the united states. i think the key sources have been two. one is apocalypticism, believe in the end of the world and a very literal interpretation of how that is

interestingly throughout the gadhafi area -- eric technocrats with the national bank of the national oil company were left largely alone to do their business indicating to me that libyans in fact did not want to disturb their wealth, their national wealth. in fact we found that we worked pretty closely behind the scenes with them to ensure that that remained the case. unfortunately in the latter years following negotiations there have been efforts by some to create competing authorities. to does mail it say the average libyan whose primary concern is that he or she have enough to be back to committee get into ideally travel. against this background tripoli the government had for all intents and purposes removed itself from benghazi with the international community and this is when he first appeared at the time in february, february of 2014 at the time of the egregious resolution and went on a television on what we called an electronic tube calling on libyans to rise up and join him against the illegal unlawful gnc he did not stir much response in that affect pretty underground only r

the cyber security of our nation is the most important and urgent issue in our nation and needs to be addressed by the white house in the future, but let's start at the beginning. what happens in a cyber attack? there are many different problems and techniques used for very specific purposes. some are even a simple as sending messages via text, phone, email, or social media. while this involves simple technology embedded with viruses when you clicked on them, establishing them have become hard to detect as technology is -- has advanced, but this is not the only way hackers get information. techniques have been developed to destroy firewalls and rob governments. this is called a denial of service attack. the system is overwhelmed, causing it to break down or become temporarily unavailable, which means the weaker a computer firewall is, the less number of attacks it takes to overwhelm the software and breakdown. a distributor denial of service is the same on a much larger scale. it usually requires hundreds of thousands of computers sending request to multiple computers, causing the sam

the wave of the future is nationalism.have to find a basis for cooperation with the nationalists. that is totally reasonable. but what happens is, in trying to do that, this vacuum was created and the soviet union came in with nasser and exploited it. cleverly, union, very once they realize the united states was serious about stopping his allies and taking the british to the brink of economic destruction, they issued public nuclear threats against the british, french, and israelis. basically said it would be a shame if your country was destroyed by nuclear tipped missiles. that gave the impression in the arab world that it was nasser and the soviets who had ousted the british and french, when the american role was carried out behind-the-scenes. publicly in the arab world, we not -- we got no credit. the soviets got all the credit. you have a wave of revolutions after the suez crisis throughout the error world, kind of like the revolutions in 2011, that all benefited nasser and the soviet union. that's when eisenhower start
