you call it a state of freedom, but it's a strange kind of freedom. hink of freedom, the first thing you think of is constraints, don't you? and i also wanted to play on the notion of state, you know. notjust a mental state or a state of being, but state is in a nation state. and i am trying to say something about india now. and i was also trying to allude to nehru's great speech during independence. the tryst with destiny speech. and i wanted to have, the title to have all of those echoes behind it. but the destiny that you implied that awaits us is a pretty bleak one? yes, at this moment in my life i do not feel very hopeful about our species. yes, i must admit that. i mean, you can't get blu nter than that. no, this is the truth. you think we're done for? i think we're done for, yes. why? well, you know, climate change is one very obvious reason why i think we're done for. i think we've run out of time. i think politically, the whole world is headed towards a certain way that is leaning on perhaps the worst in ourselves. but there is also the best i

everything it can to make sure to preserve public order and the state of israel is instigating violence it's prohibiting people form practicing freedom of worship something that the state of israel claims the opposite of the state of israel wants to add a fake jewish feature to the identity of jerusalem to their claim actually we answer one thing jerusalem is israeli as moscow is american i'm very sorry that we reached this point i would have expected the leaders of the muslim community to condemn last week's terror attack and to try to calm down the crowd but instead what we've been seeing in the past week we've been seeing the islamic leadership calling upon the people to come today. to the temple mount and to organize riots and this is something we cannot allow we're not going to allow to druce them the city which is holy for so many billions of people around the world jews muslims christians all believers of the bible we cannot allow this place to turn in to its center of riots of stone throwing of endangering the peace of the public order and therefore we had no choice the state of israel are created this myth about security thi

freedom bill a lot better. because we think it addresses what this bill actually is. it removes a lot of those mandates that allow people to have the type of freedom, have states are have the freedom that they want. that was one of the big priorities for this administration. we're happy about that progress. we're going to wait and see where the bill ends up late they are evening. john deck centre. >> is the president just to follow up on what john just asked you. i don't know if you've got into that particular part of the question. is the president picking up the phone? is he calling those seven or eight republican senators, making the case for them that this may be their last best hope for repealing and replacing obamacare? and if he is, what's his message to those particular senators? >> the same one he's been making all along, let's get the job done. let's replace a terrible health care system with a better one. and he's going to be engaged, and i'll keep you posted on any specifics and people that he talks to. peter? >> all the folks, republican senators, here at the white house last week, sarah -- >> guys, we're real tight on time. i want to keep you to one questi

the united states has urged peaceful negotiations and respect for the rule of law. united states has advocated the right of all nations to freedom and navigations into international waters. it has maintained its long-standing program globally and in our region. the trump administration is focused on north korea as one of its highest priorities. the dprk represents a profound threat to the stability and peace to the region today. a continues to some its nose at the united nations security council. testing resolution of ballistic missiles. that the five of the security council take all possible steps to send a message to north korea that it must hold its illegal behavior and focus on improving the welfare of its impoverished and long-suffering people. the trump administration is irving china to play a more construct of role in the pursuit of an enduring peace on the korean peninsula. the international landscape is uncertain. there are evident shifts in power between states, and the scale in terms of technical technological advances is disturbing how be living communicate. the government is working on a policy. the white paper will

states which usually fight over tax breaks and incentives, but in, california is claiming the moral high ground. scott cohn reports from silicon valley. >> this comes after a number of states passed laws regarding religious freedom and rights. now, california says it is banning state funded travel to four states it says discriminate against lgbt people. alabama, kentucky, south dakota and texas on top of already banned states, north carolina, mississippi, kansas and tennessee. >> to travel to these states at state expense would mean we would be using tax pare dollars states and we think it would be an offense to all the individuals in america who view the scourge of diskr disnation. >> the california attorney general says he's following a state law passed last year that he says requires the ban. so, has it had any effect? not much. the governor of texas says through a spokesman at california may be able to stop its state employees from traveling, but it can't stop all the businesses that are fleeing to state to go to texas. the governor of kentucky blasts what he called west coast liberals trying to dictate his state's laws, but the ma lo and lek ton, kentucky's largest cities, both asked california for exepgss

on the merits of the maritime claims, the united states has urged peaceful negotiation and respect for the rule of law. the united states has advocated the right of all nations to freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters. it has maintained its long standing fonops program, globally and in our region. the trump administration has focused on north korea as one of its highest priorities. the dprk represents a profound threat to the stability and peace of the indo-pacific region today. it continues to thumb its nose at the united nations security council that has passed numerous resolutions banning the development and testing of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. it is vital that all u.n. member states and particularly the permanent five of the security council take all possible steps to send a message to north korea that it must halt its illegal behavior and focus on improving the welfare of its impoverished and long-suffering people. the trump administration is urging china to play a more constructive role in the pursuit of an enduring peace on the korean peninsula. the international landscape is uncertain, there are evident shifts in power betwe

state governments and the federal government. today, those restrictions are far less, l the court reading the plain language of the first amendment that says congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, and giving meaning to those words. the commerce clause of the nowed states constitution, i am getting into nerdy jargon here. this could not be more important. the power of the federal government to regulate commerce had basically been interpreted by the supreme court. even the power to regulate what individuals did in their own homes never passed into the stream of commerce. cases,the most infamous individuals for growing food on their own farm for their own consumption. he regulated that and the supreme court said of course it is a commerce case. therefore it affects commerce. would -- plain reading have you believe that it actually requires commerce for congress to regulate it. the u.s. supreme court has ruled that back significantly. another area, the issue of federalism which is more important today in the divided red and blue america. it is important that states be able to reflect the maximum theible/possible degree values of their citizens, whether it is for greater

of french people by eliminating the state of emergency because these freedomst was weak and that if it wanted to fight it would have to give up its principles. but it's the exact opposite which is true. our correspondent hugh schofield has more. it was in the majestic surroundings of the palace where macron addressed both houses of parliament, which wasn't to the liking of everyone, in particular the left, who boycotted but it allowed him to create the air of majesty, authority and dignity which is very much part of his conception of the presidency. this speech was not about details, he didn't go into the detail of the laws that will come. that will be the province of the prime minister when he talks to parliament tomorrow, but this was about the big dimension, the big ideas that will define the years ahead. it was, to that extent, very abstract, very french in its framing, lots of references to ideas like responsibility and representation. it sounded like an entry to a baccalaureate philosophy exam from time to time. there were some important points. he would

based on those timeless principles of freedom, competition and state-based reform. after that, i'll make you one more promise. before the end of this year, we're going to roll up our sleeves and this president's going to work with the congress and we're going to pass one of the largest tax cuts in american history. cheers and applause] i don't have to tell small business owners that the american tax code is one of the biggest barriers to success for working families and small businesses like all of you gathered here today. there's an old joke that says that the internal revenue code is 10 times the length of the bible, with none of the good news. [laughter] here's some real good news. we're going to cut taxes across the board. for working families, small businesses and family farms. [applause] and we're going to simplify the tax code by cutting seven brackets down to three. we'll eliminate the alternative minimum tax and under president donald trump i'm proud to say that small business owners, we're going to repeal death taxes once and for all. cheers and applause] a

of our military has been superb. [applause] v.p. cheney: the outcome is certain. it will be complete victory for the united states on the cause of freedom. [applause] v.p. cheney: in this war, our carriers have played and will continue to play a decisive role. on the morning of september 11, 2001, the aircraft carrier uss enterprise was heading home to norfolk. within moments the ship reversed course, and by the next day was within striking distance of afghanistan awaiting orders. it was soon joined by the carl vinson, kitty hawk, theodore roosevelt, and the stennis. many of the combat missions supporting ground operations in afghanistan came from these carriers and gave the taliban its first and last glimpse of american air and sea power. [applause] v.p. cheney: carriers were deployed with equal effect for the liberation of iraq. that conflict signaled a new era in warfare in which precisely targeted weapons launched from great staging bases at sea enable us to destroy the command centers of the enemy regime while sparing civilians and leaving infrastructure intact. in afghanistan and iraq, we remove regimes that supported terror again

i heard unilaterally across the state of wyoming that obamacare continues to be a burden on the people of the state. they want freedom and choice and flexibility to to make decisions for themselves and not have washington dictate to them and certainly not have government controlling health care in this country. thank you, mr. president. i yield back. >> senator from connecticut? >> thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i had the good fortune of being in the house and senate during the period of passage of the affordable care act implementation and now the debate over repeal. i have heard consistently from my republican colleagues. one, they didn't think the affordable care act was the right approach to fix the problems in america's health care system 60 some odd times the house or senate voted to repeal all our parts of the affordable care act. second thing i heard consistently over that period of time dating from 2009 is that they are ready to offer a plan that would be better and improve over the affordable care act and the ground shifted mightily since then. a humanitarian catastrophic event would happen with t

hospitals and i just heard unilaterally across the state of wyoming thae obamacare continues to be a burden on the people of the state. they want freedom, they want choice, they want flexibility. they want to make decisions for themselves not have washington dictate to them and certainly not a government controlling health care in this country. thank you, mr. president. i yield of the floor. >> mr. president? >> the senator from connecticut. mr. mr. president, i've had the good fortune of being in both the house and the senate during the period of passage of the affordable care act, and, intimidation and now the debate over repeal. and i've heard consistently from my republican colleagues to things.t one, that they didn't think the affordable care act was the right approach to fix the problems in america's health care system 60 some odd times, the house or the senate voted to repeal all or part of it the affordable care act.t second thing i heard consistently over that period of time dating from 2009 is that republicans were prepared to offer a replacement to the affordable care act that would be better, that would be an improvement ov

of our most vulnerable people. >> tucker: sounds like choice is the main goal. >> vice president pence: giving people freedom, giving them more choices, lower cost insurance and allowing states to innovate and be creative about the way -- >> tucker: but if after a year or two of giving people more choices, millions fewer americans had health insurance, would that be worth it? >> vice president pence: well, it's -- the very essence of living in a free society is people get to make their own decisions. but the president and i truly believe that if you lower the cost of health insurance, if you give americans more choices ins. health insurance, that more americans will choose more employers will choose to have and offer health insurance to their employees and have health insurance for their families. h the reality is today, president obama promised that health insurance would go down by $2500 a year.t they've gone up by more than that amount, on average around the country. it's hurting families, it's driving people away from being able to afford health insurance. the president and i believe that more choices, more freedom, more free market principles, and more state flexibility

the telegraph is reporting that he vowed to end the state of emergency because he says freedoms are a precondition of a strong democracy. ate is the speech he gave the palace of verse i. versailles. >> mr. president, you have the floor. macron: distinguished president of congress and the senate, ladies and gentlemen, members of the government, distinguished members of the national assembly and senators. the constitution says that the president can take the floor for this purpose and it is sometimes necessary to do so. we are living through such a time right now. on the 17th of may, i was given mandate and the message was amplified with a large parliamentarian majority. thent to tell you about mandate entrusted to us and the institutions that i want to change and the guiding principles that i wish to follow in my actions. 1000 different ways let us to hear and to this place today. feel the same desire to serve the country, even though the desire may not have the same form, faith, or consequences. know where the source lies -- a simple love for the fatherland. been in politics for a lon

before thousands of people seeking refuge, the united states still represented a land of freedom and opportunity and a land free of the persecutions of a new at home. 90,000 germans, mostly jews, remained on the waiting list to denigrate into the united states in 1934 -- list to immigrate into the united states in 1934. the quotas are very far from being filled. in 1933 and 1934, the first full quota year after the nazis take power in germany, a little more than 4000 visas are issued to germans to come to the united states out of a possible 25,950. we can talk about what is required to enter the ninth date and whether or not we would consider that extreme betting. --extreme vetting. a lot of times people ask why don't jews and just leave, and it was difficult is the answer. they had to show passports, show they were good citizens, had letters attesting their moral character, had to pass a medical exam and had to prove they did not become a financial burden which is very difficult because of the nazis established severe taxes on anyone who wanted to immigrate, stripping you of your wea

freedom bill a lot better because we think it addresses what this bill actually is. it removals a lot of those mandates that allow people to have the type of freedom, have states have the freedom that they want, and that was one of the big priorities for this administration. we're happy about that progress, and we're going to wait and spee where this bill ends up later this evening. >> done decker. >> thanks a lot, sarah, to follow-up on what he just asked you. i don't think you got to that particular part of the question. is the president picking up the phone? is he calling those seven or eight republican senators, making the case for them that this may be their last best hope for repealing and replacing obamacare? and if he is, what's his message to those particular senators? >> the same one he's been making all along. let's get the job done. let's replace a terrible healthcare system with a better one. and he's going to be engaged, and i'll keep you posted on any specifics and people that he talks to. peter. >> all of those republican senators here at the white house last week, sarah dwaish. >> sorry, guys. we're real tight on time. i'm going to try to keep you to o

states has been declining under president trump. from the pew survey, the view of americans is 68% favorable. music,n movies, television, 65% favorable. of the united states government that it respects the personal freedomsf its people, 54% approve overseas. american ideas about the micro see, we see the dislikes outweighing the likes. our next call of this morning. go ahead. caller: good morning. happy fourth of july. the man who called in and asked who cared? president trump cares, because he is a narcissist. new york for the majority of my life. he wants to be loved so much -- you might think he does not care if he is not loved overseas, but he cares if he is loved overseas. i hope everyone has a nice fourth of july. host: next caller from raleigh, north carolina. good morning, happy fourth of july. caller: good morning. i am sitting here in listening to everyone talking about president trump. he is not done anything for us. everything he does is for his family. and --lied, the night, denied, and he has not done any of the things he said he would do for the working-class people. republicans, he is making a fool out of all of us and the republican party. i would strongly suggest that, when 2020 comes a

for the nonnegotiable demands of human dignity, and rule of law, limits on the power of the state, free speech, freedom of worship, equal justice, respect for women, religious and ethnic politics tolerance and respect for private property. the national security of the united states is started from these four beliefs and look outward for possibility. now this is liberal internationalism. but it's also not traditional. liberal internationalism. >> i'm going to argue is that it differs in fundamental ways from the way liberal internationalism is thought of by wilson and the way it was thought of during the cold war period. what happened, i'm going to try to go through this quickly because it's a very complicated argument is that the political science establishment of the united states and longer in the good graces that i used to be, began to conceptualize three ideas of amazing force. the first was called democratic peace theory, that democracy bedspreads, peace will spread. look at the european union. the second was democratic transition periods but all countries can become democracies. it's a transition

i want to expand the amount of people that get insurance through a cheaper price, i would do it through freedom of choice, buying groups across state lines and letting people save more money in hsa's, the problem with republicans is they have insufficient confidence in what made america great and that's capitalism, freedom of choice, competition. greg: your colleague from nevada has suggested that this was his idea as well. he sent a letter to the president saying that if the senate does not have a bill by the tenth of july, let's go ahead and do the repeal and replace separately and let's work through the august recess in order to get this all done, would you sign on to the idea of working through the august recess? >> i'd rather get it done before that. i think you can do this in the next three weeks. there are other bills out there that are sitting around that have bipartisan support, separate repeal and replace, if there are big government spending programs, put them on some other bill but the thing is you can't get conservative votes or you can't get my vote if this bill with a bunch of federal spending. greg: sorry, we are ha

relations industry which is a huge industry of course is developed in the freest so it is in the world in britain in the united states out of a recognition that enough freedom had been won the people can't be controlled by violence easily so therefore you have to control their opinions and attitudes and there's quite explicit early twentieth century you have to control make lippman who was. a striking example because he's kind of a wilson roosevelt kennedy liberal regarded as one of the great defenders of democracy but his view was that the public had really no role in public affairs public opinion they should be spectators not participants in the what he called the responsible men serious guys like us we should really run things in the interests of the general public who are stupid and ignorant to the nurse that what's good for the essential feature of liberal democratic theory see it all over the place goes way back that's want to speak that the other aspect is simply driving people towards with the business press called the the fashionable things the super superficial things of life like fashionable consumption if you can direct people to spend their tim

host: separation of church and state, religious freedom are our topics with barry lynn this morning. democrats can call at (202) 748-8000. republicans, (202) 748-8001. independents, (202) 748-8002. ken is up first in washington. an independent. caller: good morning. why there aretand so many people that don't understand the separation of church and state, the whole concept behind it that the forefathers set up in the first place. andt of people go around think that the state should be able to go into the school systems and into the court systems and into the government itself and say that religion is not allowed in most places and that is not the case. guest: you are absolutely right. ,f you want to pray in a school the only thing the supreme court has quite properly said is that government can't get into the business of writing the prayer, telling a child went to pray, how to pray, but if a child wants to pray before eating milk and cookies, that is certainly permissible. there are all types of religious clubs, in the same way there are clubs about all kinds of activities and intere

years ago that someone needed to frame from the american people of freedom and evidence around the globe -- from the time the united states to the present day were soldiers and diplomats are fighting for the right of people around the world, fundamental question that seems to underlie her actions as this,. [inaudible] for the many other related questions doctor rice's had to answer of the years, such as can democracy prevail where it has not been before? is it right for every culture? how might we gauge her benchmark it's progress? how long must it be before we take old? these questions and others like them have been the center of doctor rice's world. her book goes a long way in answering them. but before you read i know you'll first enjoy hearing about it from the author herself. with that, if you please join me in conversation on stage at the reagan library with doctor condoleezza rice.

they lifted the hopes of freedom among mankind, exhausted, starving and defeated in battle, the enemy states of october 1918 began pleads for an armistice in which to negotiate a peace. the signing of the armistice agreement on november 11, 1918, was the mark of abject surrender by the central powers. the fighting men of both sides joyously climbed out of the trenches, cleaned off the filth and fraternized within the barbed wire of no man's land. ♪ still greater achievement by the president was embodied in these settlements. he secured agreement on both of the allies and the enemy states at the basis of peace should be his points. never before in history had there been such a triumph of moral leadership. a few days after the armistice president wilson let it be known that he proposed to go to paris as the head of the american peace delegation. many of his associates, including myself, advised him not to go. we argued that he would be involved in secret committee meetings where his the most powerful voice in the world would be still. we believed that from the white house it could be thunder a

state of a, 20 years. why would we continue to allow -- state of oklahoma, 20 years. why will we continue to allow that? host: using article five to restore freedom. joining us to talk about the concepts, ed from michigan. republican line, you are next. caller: i love this idea, government close in to the people -- you can govern a country is diverse as the net states from one spot. i would prefer to have people in california, massachusetts not suffer under donald trump and the republican congress's policy. i would not want to have texas or indiana or utah suffer under the policies of barack obama and nancy pelosi. we need to decentralize power because we have more freedom. that is why hiller and that not s.ese -- and the nazi i always hear about the left --k about states rights and it was the northern states. the federal government and the southern states coddled slavery. that is a fallacy. this will restore freedom and people have more choices and with more choices, you have more competition. i love this plan. guest: i agree with him. it is about who decides. that is what freedom is about. this isn't about undermining civil rights. this isn't a
