now here's peter andres. good afternoon i am the director of the watson institute for international and public affairs, and i am so delighted to be here today to celebrate killer high. fantastic new book by peter andres. i just want to say as a student chinese affairs, i hardly need to be told about the relationship between drugs and war. i have course know the intensity and the feeling of china and the central humiliation that began with the opium war, but at the same time it's easy, for people like myself to think about the opium war as an anomaly or something very particular to a very particular time and place. i am saying i am guilty of thinking about the opium war that way. but great scholarship, truly great scholarship like killer high in a lot of the work that's done here at the watson institute forces me and us to see the world in a totally new way. this book, has forced me, and i think it forces all readers to really focus on the internal and expansive relationship between drugs and war. that relatio

quarter again we put the issue up for debate with new york observer columnist andre walker and human rights activist peter tatchell. this highlights the ludicrous idea of having quotas for everything i genuinely believe that in television like in all the rest of life you should have the best people for the job but you know what if you can have quotas that when white middle class heterosexual men are on to represent states then you've got to throw somebody else out or we don't have a quota system in british t.v. there are attempts and have been successful attempts according to these statistics to redress the marginalization exclusion and collect the past decades and i think that's a great thing to celebrate because it does show that we are a more accepting understanding inclusive society this is about normalizing the fact that we live in a diverse society this is not about diversity or not to be about diversity what it should be about is the best person for the job television is bad to tell humans so you pick the best guy for the job or the best woman for the job who acts in the best way all the social cha

when you have lisa and peter, the lovers, the fbi lovers, i want to believe the path you threw out for deputy director andr andrew mccabe, that's the office. there's no way he gets elected. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40, in other words, if i won, they were going to do exactly what they did to us. they were going to try and overthrow the government of the united states, a duly elected president. and if i didn't fire james comey, we would have never found this stuff. when i fired that sleazebag, all hell broke out. they were ratting on each other, running for the hills, dirty cops, bad people. if this happened to president obama, a lot of people would have been in jail for a long time already. i want to apologize to my family for having them have to go through a phony, rotten deal by some very evil and sick people and ivanka is here, and my sons, and my whole family. and that includes barron. that includes barron. he's up there as a young boy. stand up. ivanka, thank you, honey. >> wolf, one of the glaring things about this vicious victory lap the president took
