national security i think the war in iraq harmed u.s. national security i think the u.s. national security state. is falsely named is wrongly named and that's what i actually illustrate in my book the management of savagery using so many of the documents that were produced by wiki leaks i've relied so much on wiki leaks as a journalist and so many other journalists have been if any journalist has ever used wiki leaks to show the public what this opaque unelected national security state is doing often it to violate the rights of people under international law across the world and to sacrifice the national security of americans they have an obligation to stand up for julian assange right now and to stand up for the constitution because this indictment is a violation of the first amendment stuff from what is of most of them we. just see as a former special forces by term and governor and former governor you know where do you stand on the side do you that that kind of use the the bug you know when you use the idea of mash and security of mean you've spoken out of a bunch of times you know it's also i

who actually pointed the finger at the national security state was jeremy corbyn and that's why that's one reason why corbin is under such merciless attack because he told their dirty secret the other leaders either pointed the finger at muslims in general classic demagogy or they just simply tried to sweep the whole thing under the rug like theresa may but this is happened again and again and it will happen again you know james it's interesting i know this max is i saw you watch on an interview with watching the hawks i mean it really islamophobia his bloomed as a result and of course there are plenty of people that are making lots of money off of this here and there's a lot of other unintended consequences here but this is this one phenomenon fuels the other ok you these wars are very profitable for a small group of people and i want to talk about the media in the second half of the program and then you have these phobias that are created that roots of phobias llama phobia that keeps everybody on guard ok and it's all an artificially created all of it's artificially created james go

that doesn't so much govern the national security state aside from write memos on his behalf.any believe that if assange was ever a journalist, those days ended a long time ago. it means they believe it. so why the hostility to julian assange? we will let jim pseudo-explain. he is central to central election experience, and he central also to questions about what the trump administration or trump campaign new prior to the release of those materials. >> it's remarkable to watch, it's bill ordering, actually. that was also when they didn't applaud the arrest of journalist publishing information. in 1971 "the washington post" and "new york times" published a trove of stolen classified documents about the vietnam war which is called the pentagon papers. liberals loved it. books were written celebrating their bravery. as early as 2011, they said it "a conviction of julian assange would cause collateral damage to american media freedoms. it's difficult to distinguished assange or wikileaks from "the washington post," and that's true. but that was before the trump election and the to

i rise to offer a motion stating it's in the national security interest of the united states to oppose the global movement to boycott state of israel. this motion will not kill the bill or send it back to the committee. if adopted, the resolution will immediately proceed to final passage. as we heard efrom the powerful speech of the secretary of nato yesterday, it's in our national interest to work with our allies to counter our shared threats and promote our shared values. since its founding in 194, the united states has stood shoulder to shoulder with israel against enemies that want to destroy it. let's be clear about the b.d.s. movement. it is yet another enemy of israel. it wants to exclude, isolate, and ultimately destroy israel. the founder of the b.d.s. movement has stated, quote, we oppose a jewish state in any part of palestine. no palestinian will ever accept a jewish state in palestine. close quote. the b.d.s. movement is not about equality, it is not about peace. it is about undermining negotiation between israel and the palestinians. and it is about placing all the blame

government has implemented a state of emergency in response to the easter sunday bombings the state's national security powers have been expanded potentially giving free range in terms of detaining individuals the move affects almost every fundamental rights of people including freedom of expression censorship and the banning of demonstrations and detentions can last up to three months without being processed in court. fernandez joins us now live from columbus on the standard security bill that was underway today tell us about that first. that's right to me essential he threw out the d.v.d. so very heightened state of security and alertness there were members of the three armed forces the army navy air force as well as police we had cracked commander units of the police special task force all basically looking at very close conducting stop and searches cordons their world random checkpoints that were popping up throughout the city we're hearing that this is the case in a number of places around the country there were several towns and cities that were searched there was such operations and to be very h

state of readiness, appropriate for any security environment, to generate the intellectual and operational innovations necessary to deter and if necessary defeat an adversary and maintain within the national security apparatus, the expertise necessary to understand and generate sophisticated hedges and responses for the future of the security challenges. this high bar for the use of conscription also assumes that the united states has, in the event of a national emergency, attempted to enlist more allies to its cause. to employ private security contractors to meet security demands, to transform its military to generate more manpower and simply to enlist more troops. so there are steps to be undertaken before you can think about the potential of conscription. because conscription levels the power of the state in the extreme ways possible. citizens are justified in expecting that the states exhaust the options before it turns to collective service system and then only in a true emergency. because of this high bar, many scholars view this as potentially unsuitable to an unpredictable national emergency. the nature of the gap between the present all volunteer force and the future crisis as ot

i want to take more fully about the concept of the national security state were anti-communism that is crossing boundaries in this time period. to go back to the historical context, i don't know if i am contextualizing it where if i am just a deepening our understanding of this moment in the u.s.-japanese relationship. and pushed back on the idea that democracy did not matter in this relationship. this book traces and follow it all the way up to the 1960's and it looks at issues like the transition from world war ii to the cold war. he looks at the creation of the npr. it also looks at how japanese ideas about democracy shaped this. there are two chapters about anti-base contests. trying to trace the strange career of democratic ideology in this relationship. dir. ostermann: i know eric will have a question or two in a minute. let me ask you for those of us, especially the audience out there, we may not be familiar with 68. talk a little bit about 68 and then over to eric. prof. miller: this is probably my favorite government document to teach. this was a statement drafted by the natio

this is about endangers the security in the united states, the national security of the united states, and having people in control of that information who could be compromised, who could be subject to blackmail, who have things in their background, whether it's financial interests that make them a risk. i think it's important for congress to look at this, and if need be do what chairman cummings is doing and issuing a subpoena to get the records and the information, and to bring people forward who can testify about what it is that happened in that process. this is about the security of the country, the national security interests, and the white house stepping on the toes of civil servants whose he job it is to make sure the united states remains secure. >> tina, whether we're talking about releasing the mueller report or this information on security clearance, we're at a standoff. we're at an extreme partisan standoff at a time when the majority of people in the country are trying to live their best lives, aren't super-political. do you see any progress happening? >> what i think is

the united states considers the huawei a national security threat, has called upon all of its allies huawei from working and integrating their hardware into the 5g infrastructure of any nation. joining us tonight is morgan wright, former senior advisor in the state department antiterrorism assistance program. former law-enforcement advisor to the republican national committee, cyber security expert, morgan, great to have you with us. it appears that the u.s. campaign to stop huawei is not working. >> no, it's not. i will tell you, here's the scary part about this. huawei is reaching a critical point to where they will have so much penetration in the market, lou it's a geeky thing. you should understand when you get that much markets chair you get to set the standards. when you set the standards everybody has to build the equipment to the way you built it. it means they will get their features and they are the way they want to do stuff. my biggest concern is that they put this infrastructure out there, they will surround us. we'll have this data flowing over the equipment made by chin

security challenges. this high bar for the use of conscription also assumes that the united states has in the event of a national emergency attempted to enlist more allies to its cause, to employ private security contractors to meet security demands, to transform r its military to generate more manpower, and to simply enlist more troops. so there are a lot of steps of homework that need to be undertaken before you can think about the potential of conscription. but because conscription leverages the power of the state in the most extreme ways possible, citizens are justified in expand -- expecting that the state competently exhaust all of its the options before terms to the collective services and then only in a true emergency. but the sidebar many scholars judge the present selective service system is potentially unsuitable for such an unpredictable national emergency. the nature of the gap between the present all volunteer force and the requirement for a future crisis as others have discussed and will discuss is completely unknown any think we should have humility and trying to design aa system that meets those

i became secretary of state in january 1989 and probably march 1989 the washington post ran a long story foreign policy is being run out of the white house and the national security council and state departments and so forth, i got a call from the president the next day asking me to come to camp david for the weekend so we went up that was the last time any story like that ever surfaced, she was the same way with other members of his national security team. the result was there was a atmosphere that worked for him and the country. there could be a problem when there are unauthorized leaks by members of the team and he had almost none of that, what kind of instruction does the city give to the team about the need to maintain confidentiality. >> there were a lot of violations of that. first you need to define what a leak is, that's when you go out and do something to advance your own interest or to defeat a policy you don't like that happens to be the presidents policy that is leaking, spinning is something entirely different. it really is and when i was chief of staff for four years i went around it before i took that job i talked to every former president and tal

amy: on monday, iran's supreme national security council in return designated the united states central command, also known as centcom, and all its forces as terrorists. the council also labeled the u.s. a "supporter of terrorism." we'll have more on this story after headlines with author and founder of the national iranian american council trita parsi. in israel, voters are heading to the polls today in a hotly contested parliamentary election that many say is a referendum on prime minister benjamin netanyahu's 10 year rule. netanyahu has been embroiled in multiple cororruption scandals d his hard-line nationalist rhetoric and policies have raised concern among centrist israelis. meanwhile, unwavavering support from the trump administration, including recent moves to recognize the golan heights as sovereign n israeli territory dd to designate iran'n's revolutionary guard as a terror group, has bolstered his popularity among conservative isisraelis. netanyahu's main opponent, former army chief benny gantz, who heads the blue and white party, has also relied on pro-security and military
