my very first stop in the asian-pacific as vice president of the united states. it is a great honor for me to be in south korea. i bring greetings from the president of the united states, president donald trump, on his behalf, i'm here to express the unwavering support of the united states for our long-standing alliance. president trump and i are grateful for your strong partnership with the united states, we commend you personally for your steady hand in this time of transition in south korea. the president and our entire administration admire the south korean people's commitment to the rule of law and the democratic process and we look forward to the upcoming election with great anticipation. while changes coming on the people of south korea may be assured, whatever change happens in your elections, the commitment of the united states to south korea's safety and security will remain unchanged. [speaking foreign language] vice president pence: on behalf of the president of the united states, my message to the people of south korea is we are with you 100%. the uni

united states checks for medical issues, takes fingerprints, and interviews the refugees. >> the united states government handpicks each refugee that comes into the united states and individually interviews all of them. i believe it's important for people to understand how rigorous and long this process is. >> the fbi, the department of homeland security, and others are involved in the process. only half of the refugees make it through. him many things have changed in the past century, many beliefs haven't. in a poll in 1939, only 30% of americans want to accept 10,000 jewish refugee children to live in the united states. in 2016, only a similar percentage supported letting syrian refugees into the u.s. >> we have to remember we are always on our weakest when we have shut our door on refugees, when we have been afraid of them. and that are greatest when we let them in. never has this country really suffered any kind of security consequences due to letting in refugees, yet we use that as an excuse many times to keep them out. we did it in the john adams insert -- we've been doing it time

states and australia free trade agreement was formed in 2005. the united states is australia's second-largest trading partner. we will continue this close corporation on trade and investment. we had a good discussion on president trump's commitment on reducing company tax and tax generally in the united states. we to recognize that reducing business taxes is vital to delivering stronger economic growth. business that can use more of their profits for investment will grow, hire more, invest in employment. it is driven by business taxes. we applaud the commitment of president trump to that, and we are grateful on your update of those plans. we will continue to work more closely together in every field. our relationship is a very deep one.ntimate it is carried by millions of australians and americans over a century and more. we have a shared destiny. we always have. we grow closer together, build defense, common strategic goals, shared values, stronger economic relationships, and above all, the connections that extend across the pacific. it is a close relatio

need a is also why we firm united states stance russia. ecause if the united states retreats from europe, then russia will advance, and you soon see that then europe split. europe would be more hostile towards the united states. definitely not in the interest of the united states. host: okay. former nato second general anders

whether it can reach the united states or not. en talking a great deal about a missile being able to range the united states. we have to remember that we have allies in the region who are much closer than that. and as a result china and the united states need to be on the same page here and it's going to take no little effort to make sure that china and we work together. if anything this -- i know our response is muted and very well so. but this should be a lesson about the united states and china that we really have to work together to diffuse the situation now because some months from now it is going to be much more difficult to solve. we got in this position because neither of us was willing to operate, to do something when it was easier to do. we have to work together now. >> colonel jack jacobs. thank you, sir, for being with us all night during our breaking news coverage here of the north korean missile launch that happened about a handful of hours ago. bringing in director of asia studies at georgetown university. these pict

the united states tonight has taken military action in syria. the pentagon informs us that tomahawk cruise missiles have been launched from the united states navy, off the coast, at least 43 to 47 tomahawk cruise missiles striking sites inside syria, at the airbase listed on your screen. this is a base from which it's believed that the syrian military launched a sarah and gas attack on its own people. those pictures too graphic to show him this time of the evening on network and cable television, the truth is it killed dozens of syria and civilians including more than a dozen babies the president mentioned as he discussed this just yesterday afternoon. it had long been the policy of the president and this white house that the united states will not be interventionist. the united states would strike only one struck upon. it was yesterday the president first said in a joint news conference with the jordanian king of the dollar that he was deeply affected by the syrian military and the dictator bashar assad and his attitude toward syria changed. thi

japan the fourth largest trading partner to the united states. fourth largest goods exports to the united states. strengthening the economic partnership with bilateral talks. they've talked about a three prong strategy they're going to take a free and fair trade agreement as you remember the u.s. is taking steps to abandon the ttp which is paramount to japan so talking about that free and fair trade agreement is very important to them. also economic structural policy they're setting up togetr and sec torl cooperation. they're hoping with chi log over the next year or so they can come to a fair agreement. they are confident they'll get concrete economic results between the two countries, and, again, tpp question coming up over and over again. talked about how they'll be meeting again by the end of the year to see accomplishment made in regards to the conversation taking place. and, again, you are watching breaking news. coming out of japan. vice president mike pence meeting with the deputy prime minster of japan. talking about north korea which has

today, as, as we have for more than half a century, the united states and japan stand united in defense of democracy and the rule of law. not only in this region but all across the world. tomorrow, i will speak from the deck of the uss ronald reagan at the naval base. a tangible sign of our unity with japan and the united states unyielding commitment to peace and security in the asian-pacific. under president trump the united states will continue to work with japan with all our allies in the region, including south korea to confront the most ominous threat posting this region of the world, the regime in north korea. let me be clear, our commitment is unwavering and are resolved could not be stronger. as president trump told prime minister at the southern white house, i say on his behalf today to all the people of japan, in these challenging times we are with you 100%. in the face of provocations across the sea of japan, the people of this country should know that we stand with you in the defense of your security and prosperity, now and always. now, the united states will continue to wor

the president of the united states can profit off of being the president of the united states. we saw the approvals by the chinese authorities after years of fighting. whose interests are being advanced? the united states' or personal business interests? that makes it very difficult to stand up for good governance and anticorruption. or on transparency. the president not releasing his tax returns. transparency is one of the key elements of anti-corruption strategies. advancing as one of the first bills in this congress, sidetracking the provisions that senator lugar and i worked on on transparencies so poor countries could get the value of their minerals -- putting that on hold. all that compromises -- and lastly, when you present your priorities for the budget, the priorities you see for our country and you say we could reduce our international development programs by 36%, and america needs to be there to help countries develop democratic institutions that can protect against corruption. s thef that combined weaken united states leadership. there's only one united states of ame

all that combined, weakens the united states leadership. there is only one united states of america and there is only one country that can do what we can do and that is severely damaged. >> let me follow up on that. our exec sutives are not going lead on this. is it really that grim? >> it is very grim. let me give you some optimistic -- i am not supposed to share what happens in the private meetings of the relation committees, i am going to violate that a little bit. we have meetings with world leaders who come in and meet with our committee. we have it with president xi a day afta -- president sisi the after he met with president trump. we had bipartisan support from the introduction of the bill that we did. it was mccain insisted that anti-corruption to be apart of this. there is strong bipartisan interest of congress to advance these issues. we recognize both democrats and republicans that we have a challenge with this administration, we are working together to counter that. >> i am going to open up in a minute to questions of your guest

or other united states interests. and given that, that the united states is going to have to take a number of steps which are going to be strategically uncomfortable for china but don't have anything to do with china. this is where the test and relationship is going to be. >> rose: do you think the chinese take seriously the president's statement that if, in fact, the chinese do not help the united states may have to go alone? bns well, i think it's a statement of fact, right, that the president of the united states has an obligation first and fore most to protect the united states from threats. and if over the course of the next period of time we don't get the kind of cooperation and kind of the joint effort we need with china to address north korea program, i think any president would have to, would make a similar statement that in fact the united states will take whatever steps it has to take to protect itself. now the alternative to that, of course s that if china develops a an approach with the chinese there are a

this is a new day and a new chapter in relations between the united states and japan. ery day, though, our nations already exchange goods and services that improve people's lives and help businesses on both sides of the pacific succeed. japan is the united states' fourth largest goods trading partner and our fourth largest goods export market. and japan is one of america's leading investors. more than $400 billion. i saw that first hapd back in my old job when i was governor of indiana. how trade and investment between our countries can be beneficial to us all. in 2013, and 2015, i led a group of indiana businesses and community leaders to japan to spur opportunity and create jobs. today, the u.s.-japan economic dialogue seex the same objectives for both of our countries in full. it signifies president trump's wishes to strengthen our relationship with japan. today's meeting with deputy prime minister aso was an opportunity to discuss how we view the dialogue, structure, and goals. they'll focus on three pillars, as he just discussed. the first is a quote common strateg

the real opportunity for the united states. to retain our primacy the united states needs to weave together its disparate security and economic efforts into a broader strategy. we need to fashion a networked security architecture with ally and partners to help all of us do more over greater distances with greater economic of effort undergirded by a shared set of principles in support of a rules based order. we need to present a vision for an equivalent economic architecture that includes inclusive economic growth for all countries, including the united states. in the absence of american -- of meaningful american state craft in the region, china is filling the void. that has dangerous implications for our relationships setting up false choices for our allies between their security and their prosperity. besides these strategic implications, the lack of a serious u.s. economic conditions in china. for some the challenges of opportunities for the united states are significant, but without urgent american leadership and investment, t

top of it delivery systems that can reach the united states or other united states interests. d, given that come the united states will have to take a number of steps which will be strategically uncomfortable for china, but don't have anything to do with china. this is where the test in the relationship will be. charlie: do you think the chinese take seriously the statement that if the chinese do not help, the united states may have to go it alone? tom: it is a statement of fact. the president of the united states has an obligation to protect the united states from threats. over the course of the next period of time, if we don't get joint effort with china to address the north korean program, any president would make a similar statement. the united states will take whatever steps it has to take to protect itself. the alternative is trying to develop an approach the chinese. there are a number of things we can do including dramatically increasing the economic pressure on north korea. we should move to an iran-style set of sanctions on north korea i oversaw the iranian sanction e

in fact, i have always heard that the most important thing that a president of the united states does is appoint people, hopefully great people like this appointment, to the united states supreme court, and i can say this is a great honor. [applause] president trump: and i got it done in the first 100 days. that is even nice. [laughter] president trump: you think that is easy? this ceremony has special meaning, as justice gorsuch is filling the seats of one of the greatest supreme court justices in american history, and that is antonin scalia, who was a terrific judge and a terrific person. justice scalia was a patriot who revered our constitution. he was beloved by many, very many who are here today, and he is deeply missed by all of us. i want to at this time recognize his incredible wife, maureen, who i got to know very well over the last short period of time, and, maureen, please stand up. thank you very much. thank you and your family. thank you. [applause] president trump: americans are blessed to have in neil gorsuch a man who will likewise be a devoted servant of the law. over

a bit of a difference between the united states and turkey. ted states, congress is elected by the states and they have their constituents. in turkey, the president will choose the people who will run in his party. so there's questions about who they will have loyalty to -- to the people or to the president? dave? >> this is a critical united states ally, major player in the war on terror. any sense of what these powers for erdogan mean for that war on terror and the united states? >> we talked to his supporters and they say this is the best thing that could happen because it would make him far more powerful to take care of terror that turkey has been experiencing. there have been a number of terror attacks not only by isis but by the pkk. also it strengthens his position when it comes to the international community in dealing with other countries because he holds executive power. he will be the one dealing with other countries, not the prime minister, which will be dissolved. when it comes to the united states, there will be the shift there. a

we express the resolve of the people of the united states. with the people of south korea to preserve their freedom and ensure the objective of a denuclearize korean peninsula. an objective not only by the people of the united states and south korea, but our allies across the globe. we are heartened by the support allies across the asian pacific which will continue to advance this objective with the korean peninsula. the resolve express of the people of the united states and the president of the united states to achieve that objective through peaceable means, through negotiations. but all options are on the table as we continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of south korea for the denuclearization of this peninsula and for the long-term prosperity and freedom of the people of south korea. let me say it is also very humbling for me to be here. my father served here in korea in the united states army more than 64 years ago. the general favor to me this myning with reflections on father's service. it seems fitting that as vice pres

-- send news of the united states. linehey organize a through washington to send messages elsewhere. it was intercepted by the british, unbeknownst to the united states. the british were tapping our lines to find out what was going on. the british did not want to admit that they were tapping our lines and knew the german code, so they then send someone to mexico to find the message as it was received in mexico so it would look like they got it in the united dates -- the united states. and they took it to the ambassador in london, and he said it to the secretary of state, who wanted to go to war much more than president wilson. he gave it to a guy named edwin hood, the dean of the foreign correspondents for the united states. very well-respected guy. he called him to his house and redacted it and gave him the cable. to make sure nobody knew he got from him, they gave it to a different reporter so it did you look like hood had gotten it, and then it came out in the papers. .he next day, lansing lied as a former journalist

finally, the big one, the long term strategy, the real opportunity for the united states. to retain our primesy, the united states needs to weave together its security and economic efforts into a broader strategy. we need to fashion a networked security architecture to help us do more over greater distances by a shared set of principals. we need to present a vision for an equivalent economic architecture that promotes sustainable and growth for all countries, including the united states. in the absence of american -- of meaningful american economic state craft in the region, china is filling the void. that has dangerous implications for our relationships setting up false choices for our allies between our security and their prosperity. besides the strategic implications, the lack of an economic strategy will leave americans with an economic disadvantage. without urgent american leadership and government investment, the united states will not be able to rise to them and decades of relative peace and prosperity that american leadership has enabled are at risk. thank you and i

clarity of message from the united states is key. partisanship on asia policy is important. i think it is pretty good. initiatives like maritime security. initiatives like this committee initiated. those physical demonstrations of interest in the region. also the united states needs to present a strategy. at the heart of that, our goal needs to be that the region is able to make choices on the economic side on the security side, independent of coercion. that is the key. i will let you address this one first, but speaking of chrome version and -- of andears and -- coersion allies, what is going on in the south china sea has been a concerted. secretary carter put forth a good policy the problem was, the execution was weak. it undermined credibility. this committee seemingly had to push and push. firsthey did their follow-up, they seemed embarrassed about it. secretary wouldn't admit it to the chairman. what do we need to do with -ops?ds to phon my view is they should not be done in terms of the way the obama administration did them with innocent passage. these't recognize built

to try to find a way to work with russia, or is it more costly for the united states to try to work with china? which of those two things will be ultimately better for the united states and trying to preserve the system that we now enjoy. >> thank you very much, michael kaufman is a center use with the woodrow wilson international center in despite his young age he is already very well established and respected as the russian military. and whether we like it or not when we are with the relationship today the military component is becoming increasingly important. we thought it was important for michael's perspective. >> we really appreciate the introduction for all of us in the fantastic panel. i'm probably going to talk a bit less for what russia wants since we covered that brilliantly. i will probably focus on what russia gets what it wants and water take we should be. for russia the military is a critical instrument of national power. without much of what it's been going on the last couple of years and the crisis would not be possible, think economics in general have made a p

federal cost share agreement with the united state army corps of engineer for an embarcadero flood study. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners executive director forbes and i'm the manager here to present the federal cost-share been the united states corps of engineers and the port joined by cal eastbound senior project planner with the united states corps of engineers based out of the capping production in sausalito we've had a long relationship with the u78d and look forward to continuing that. >> so some background the continued authorities program the architectural on the seawall project started through the rivers and harbors act of 1952 and amended as of in conflict to the united states corps of engineers that requires at least 4 elected state senators the continuing authors program to delegate the authority down to the local the division of united states corps of engineers for approval for smaller scale projects that are managed at that level we move faster and allow us to avoid waiting for legislative people to come along will be drafts for the united states corps of engineers one

ties to seoul and the nuclear programs. >> and i'm here to express the resolve of people of the united states and the president of the united states to achieve that effective, through peaceable means and negotiations. but all options are on the table as we continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with people of south korea for the denuclearization of this pe innocence laand for the long-term pros sparety and freedom of the people, of south korea. >> keep in mind, pence's south korean visit follows a failed launch of north korean missile. paula han cox cockshancocks, glu with us. >> we're expecting to hear from mike pence. >> shortly you've seen this video here where our cameras train for those two leaders to speak any moment now. the vice president at the dmz, what does that mean to this region? >> just one update we're being told by the president's office, that statement is going to be delayed by about 30 minutes. we'll bring that to you when we can. the fact that the u.s. and vice president is going what he called the historic frontier from freedom, shows the u.s. is taking this north korean

i do not say that all of these men have come directly from the united states. ed states has entered the war, we do not know how long it will be before the tremendous power of that nation can be translated into military effort. it cannot be done in a few weeks. it cannot be done fully in a few months. we know that from our own experience the british government know it from their experience, and therefore it must not lead to any relaxation on the part of the empire or any part of the allied nations. >> before reading my text, i think we should have a thought to all our soldiers who right now on the most difficult, most trying battle fields once more shoulder to shoulder, side by side are fighting for the defense of our liberty and our civilization. [ applause ] on april fifth, 1917, the french president of the consul of ministers is addressing the french senate. what particularly touches us is that you ask as always kept alive that friendship towards us, which was sealed with our blood. we recognize with joy that the u.s. flag is going to float beside ours. our ha

so he can't make a deal with the united states where the united states is no longer the enemy. >> rose: so it threatens his survival within his country. >> it threatens his very survival. so negotiation is not a possibility. >> rose: what's next? so what's next is a part of a negotiation, right, which is let's squeeze him as hard as we possibly can to see if we can get him to different mindset on negotiation. >> rose: he's already shown he's prepared to let his people suffer in his pursuit of nuclear weapons. >> exactly. so what do we think about that? well, here's what we think about that is that, look, it makes sense when he does something bad to put sanctions on him, absolutely, just to send a signal to the rest of the world that you can't get away with this kind of behavior. but to really squeeze him -- and this is where china comes in -- to really squeeze him, you need china on your side. why? because 80% of his trade is with the chinese. so if you squeeze the other 20%, you're not going to have an impact. so you need china on your side here. >> rose: do they send him food, he sen

the president of the united states has an obligation to protect the united states from threats. er the course of the next period of time, if we don't get joint effort with china to address the north korean program, any president would make a similar statement. the united states will take whatever steps it has to take to protect itself. the alternative is china developing -- and there are a number of things we can do including dramatically increasing the economic pressure on north korea. an iran-style to set of sanctions on north korea -- and i oversaw the iranian sanction effort for a number of years -- to move sanctions to a level and pressure that are regime threatening. there are a number of steps we can take. we have to build out our defenses in the region in which is giving china discomfort, particularly with respect to south korea, and we should have a dialogue with china about the future of the peninsula. charlie: will human rights be at all discussed? i don't think the chinese will raise it. i think it is up to the president to raise it. charlie: do expect the president o

greetings to the soldiers of south korea from the president of the united states. solve of the people of the united states of america to stand together in the months and years ahead for the people of korea to both preserve their freedom and ensure the icedtive of a the nuclear denucularized korean peninsula. it is an objective shared by our allies across the globe. our allies across the asia-pacific like china will continue to advance. i'm here to achieve that objective through peaceful means , through negotiations but all options are on the table as we continue to stand shoulder to of southith the people korea for the long-term prosperity and freedom of the people of south korea. it is very humbling for me to be here because my father served here in korea in the united states army more than 64 years ago. the general met with me this morning with a few reflections on my father service here. father's service here. i'm here to express of the timeless bond between the people of south korea and the united states of america. the bonds between our people are not simply st

the opposition groups feel like now the united states is on our side. i feel like the united states wants to put the assad removal on hold. >> when you use the word game changer, a game changer positively or negatively. we know the french supported this action, they also said that this is a game changer and could help boost political negotiations, do you think they're being too optimistic? people seem to be looking at this in various different ways. >> i think what we're going to find after a few days probably after the tillerson meeting in moscow, this will ratchet down quite a bit. and the united states will go back to what it wants to do, focus on isis and park the assad question until isis is defeated and then hopefully there will be some sort of political solution, that ends in the removal of bashar al assad, but i don't think the united states will hold out for that. we'll see what the president wants to do. >> the opposition may be feeling happy about this, but the thing is, if there's no follow through and they get disappointed, there's fallout t

for college and the first time i came to united states i was eight years old. came to california, to visit my father who had become a professor here, and i fell in love with the united states and going back to france, i kept thinking about america, its culture, history, politics, literature, art, so definitely when i finished high school i was very keen on moving to the united states. >> host: why did you say. >> guest: so many different things love about america, universities, land of great contrast, fascinating place to write about. after college i went to law school and back a public defender human rights lawyer defending the rights of poor people in the criminal justice system. in the age of mass incarceration and decided to become an peak and now i have the experience of working at stanford university. >> you for book is call: "singsal america what divides america from the world." is america unique? is america exceptional. >> guest: america is an exceptional nation. however a lot of people misfund what american exceptionalism means. people think it mains ex

thepeople of north korea, military of north korea should not mistake the resolve of the united states of america to stand with our allies. the alliance between south korea and the united states is ironclad. we will fulfill that alliance for the sake of our people and the people of south korea. and we will continue to stand strong to achieve our shared objective across this region and across the world. a denuclearized korean peninsula. >> mr. vice president, how is that thefferent policy trump administration is pursuing compared to the obama administration and why do you believe you can trust china at this time to follow through? half the imaginations have sought help from china and they often have not come through. president i know that trump is very hopeful that china will take action as necessary to bring about a change in policy in north korea and abandonment of its nuclear weapons program and its ballistic missile program. we are hopeful they will use the they haveary leverage an relationship they have with north korea in order to achieve that objective. president made very clear,

. -- the united states. they are primarily not in combat and positions, but they are very much there. that doesn't necessarily help the secretary of state. thereds to tell the line and he also needs to articulate the u.s. position on ukraine, which one could argue is the point of origin and attention in u.s.-russia relations t today. host: you have a bachelors in russian literature from columbia and a masters on european studies from oxford. beretta from nashville, tennessee, your first up for our guest. go ahead with your question or comment. --ler: my comment is that ok, like donald trump is forever alienating our friends like our australia and different ones. then he wants to talk like a smart mouth to north korea and wants china to help them. if you wants to talk so smart to north korea -- first of all phoenix leave those people alone. being that he wants to throw that out and then what china to come in and help us and making hamlet really. -- him look really. week. he looks really ignorant. the point is

, where they tried to use animals more as formal weapons, but that was not a big thing for the united states. the united states used more traditional roles for war dogs that they continue to use today. host: did any of the training ever begin to get pushback in america from organizations like the aspca or other animal where fair -- animal welfare groups with mark -- groups? chelsea: there is always been inhback in varying degrees united states, and in britain during world war i and world war ii, but one of the things to keep in mind is that during those wars, it was a great sense of patriotism, and so the animal welfare groups are more interested in being involved with the war effort and supporting the troops and supporting the animals that were in combat, so there was a lot of fundraising and sending of medical supplies to the veterinary corps. the pushback was more of an issue of coming we know you need supplies, we will give you supplies so that these animals have a better existence in the war. we understand you have to use them, and we are not against that, but if you could make it just
