stewart: yes.is it the policy of the united states to contain the threat of a nuclear weapon by trying to shoot it down if they wanted? dir. coats: it is the policy of the united states to prevent it. senator graham: do you agree with that, general stewart? dir. stewart: yes, sir. senator graham: that would mean all options are on the table to prevent it. is that correct? i'm certainly not in a position to review any of the options. senator graham: ok. isil. our strategy to take rocco back has a heavy reliance on the ypg kurds. are you both familiar with that? dir. coats: yes. dir. stewart: yes. senator graham: does that create more tension with turkey? dir. coats: yes. dir. stewart: yes. do you agreem: that it would be better to have more arabs and less kurds in the fight? dir. coats: i believe general mattis be the best person to answer that. senator graham: ok. is this being driven by our policies to use the ypg kurds? dir. coats: i think it contributes to it. senator graham: do either of you kn

from the tisch wnet studios at lincoln center in new york, alison stewart. >> stewart: good evening and thanks for joining us. president trump is calling on the arab world to show unity and partner with the united states to combat extremism and terrorism. today, in the capital of saudi arabia, the president addressed a summit of leaders from 50 arab and muslim-majority countries, completing his two-day visit to the kingdom. in his 35-minute speech, mr. trump said the u.s. will seek gradual reforms over intervention and middle east leaders must decide for themselves what kind of future they want. >> it is a choice between two futures, and it is a choice that america cannot make for you. a better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. drive them out. drive them out of your places of worship. drive them out of your communities. drive them out of your holy land. and drive them out of this earth. >> stewart: he called on the leaders to deny territory to extremists like the islamic state group, or isis, whose roots are al qaeda in iraq.

stewart: none. senator. sen. fischer: with regards to china and their modernization efforts, do you see any of their views with nuclear weapons -- do you see any of their views changing? dir. stewart: certainly nuclear weapons and modernization of the ir nuclear force is an integral part. all of these countries view nuclear weapons as the guarantor of their regime. it is much like north korea. so china continues to modernize all levels, including nuclear forces, including capability to deter u.s. forces from entering the west pacific. they do not talk about a first use, but they do talk about use of nuclear weapons as part of war fighting. dir. coats: i might add to that, despite the heroic and really incredible efforts by former senators nunn and luger toward minimizing and reducing the use of nuclear weapons, the success we had in libya, the success we had in ukraine, unfortunately the lessons learned have been if you have nuclear weapons, never give them . -- never give them up. because it is a deterrent for t

stewart also told him you will have elections.you form your new companies, you will have elections. mosby would have elections, but he did it his way, which i will talk about in a few moments. lee, asm robert e audacious as he was, i think when all is said and done, robert e lee never fully understood what it was that john mosby was doing. different -- i don't think it is any different than a number of conventional officers. they don't understand conventional warfare, they just don't get it or they don't want to get it. audacious, absolutely. did he push the envelope? absolute. i believe when all was said and done, he was a conventional officer and he was also i think to a certain extent a gentleman of the old school, who really -- mosby didn't fight fair. a lot of union officers complained. he doesn't fight fair. he fought to win. he you fight dirty -- did fight dirty? i guess that depends on what side of the cold 45 you were on. when all was said and done, lee didn't understand what mosley was about. a couple of different times,

should jeb stewart high school be changerred? they could make a desis in -- decision in a few weeks. peggy fox takes us to the showdown. >> he was a confederate general. that is why the school was named after him. a young guy only 31 years old. 150 years later, people are still fighting over this war. what was it about? who was jeb stewart? is it right to honor him? with the school named after him? or, is that the wrong name to have? is it the wrong history to remember? and, it started last year when a student at the school said, you know, let's look into changing this name. the school board could have taken a vote, but they wanted community involvement so they appointed an add ho it is completely fractured. one side wants to change the nape, one side wants to keep it and they are not seeing eye to eye. they can't even agree on the facts. who was jeb stewart? was he a traitor or an american hero? so it is a community meeting at the high school last week, several students got up to speak. one girl is an african-american girl. she

>> i would like general stewart to address this also. this issue has been raised, and it is under consideration. and i think your questions are very valid relative to the current status of cfius and whether or not adjustments need to be made. relative to finding the right technical capabilities to assess this, we are in contest with the private sector. the private sector that offers significantly higher compensation for the people they hire, and probably a better work schedule. nevertheless, some of -- we are blessed with people who are -- who want to give service to their government, and to work longer hours with lesser pay, but bring technical capabilities. we are out trying to recruit these people constantly. whether you're talking about admiral rogers and national security agency, or other of our agencies. we need to understand that at a certain point, to gain the kind of technical capabilities that we need, we may have to look at our salary structure, because just about every major corporation in america now, whether it's cyber or o

stewart: yes.ve a great number of remote employees now, but it is something that as we get larger and more mature as an organization we will be able to accommodate. if there are great people we cannot get to our offices, we can consider opening up an office and bringing them on remotely. it is an incredibly competitive market. but because we are growing quickly and because of our presence in the tech industry, there are very, very few tech startups in the san francisco bay area that are not existent software users. that gives us a leg up in recruiting because they're familiar with the software. if you are in the bay area, especially if you are in tech, the perception is that everyone uses slack. people want to go where they have a big impact. we have a recruiting advantage. >> i have to ask what is next for slack? do we have an i.p.o. in sight in the near future? stewart: an ipo would be years away. we are growing at a fair clip. predictability is hard, not the kind of predictability they will want

then, explained the startled and indignant stewart, you have ruined him. i thought i understood lincoln thoroughly, herndon row, but in order to vindicate myself if it failed i immediately sent out after stewart had left the office and wrote to lincoln who is then in case well county attending courts. a brief account of what i had done and how much stir it was created in the ranks of his conservative friends. if he approved or disapproved i asked him to write or telegraph me at once. in a brief time came his answer and this is what lincoln wrote in a telegram to herndon: i'll write, go ahead. we will meet you, radicals and all. at that meeting on february 22, 1856, which happened to be george washington's birthday, george snyder, the editor of the leading german language newspaper in illinois proposed a plan to denounce the know nothings and the nativists present at the meeting opposed it. the conference to create the republican party threatened to collapse. schneider announced he would finally submit his resolution to lincoln and abide by his decision. ge

in 2015, jeb stewart high school entered the national spotlight when students petitioned to change theat of the confederate general to thurgood marshall high school to honor the supreme court justice and social rights activist. tisha lewis has more. >> reporter: well, tony we're about 10 minutes away from this community meeting here at jeb stewart high school kicking off. you can see the auditorium is filling up. we've had that people on both sides of the issue approach us since we arrived. what i can tell you is that tonight it will just be discussions on all sides about a potential name change. organizers tell me that they do not anticipate a decision being panels still have to be -- can um to fruition before that happens but tonight's meeting will include presenttations both for and against the renaming of the school. we're told there will be an opportunity for community input. again, all of this comes after a push by a small group of stuart students who asked school and community leaders to remove the name of the famed confederate general from the school. their effort then picked u

now, to show you part of the big picture, here is sergeant stewart queen.wart queen: all of us are well aware of the great and historic achievements of our united states army nurses. in world war ii and during the korean war, we heard, read, and many of us saw how the army nurse went there great hardship in her duty. the same dangers entered by the troops which she accompanied into combat, but relatively little has been reported of the army nurse in peacetime. yet she still serves, not only in the states, but all over the world. today on the big picture, we would like to give you some impression of the work of an army nurse overseas. and not only her work, but how she spends her leisure time. and something of what she thinks and feels as she serves our troops and our country in the far-flung corners of the world. ♪ narrator: korea is no longer on the front pages of the newspaper these days. it is a poor country now, very much like it was before the war. but with the mark of war upon it. ♪ narrator: american troops are stationed here still. they defend to wa

stewart is absolutely right. those of us are been practicing over the last couple decades cannot imagine it any other way. it is unfathomable that this was not the law prior. because it is so ingrained in everything we do, i have sat in the judge arraignment court where everybody was arrested the night before gets. there could be 100 people for anything from littering, urinating in public, prostitution, assault, battery, robbery, murder, and every single person before they appear in court is given a lawyer. yet everything stops until that person is given a lawyer who gets a chance to his with him or her before they come in. what is amazing is only 12 years after gideon, which in 1963 decided was actually a constitutional right to counsel and every proceeding. the court required the -- that before somebody could proceed without a lawyer there must be a knowing, voluntary, intelligent waiver. today the notion of someone appear without a lawyer, we would get reversed as judges unless we conduct a search inquiry and

but the problem is over jeb stewart high school. so here is the question. stuart continue to have named after him? he was a confederate general known as a bold calvary commander that led multiple battles. many in virginia. tanks were named after him because of his military poralless. he was only 31 years old when he battle in 1864 during the civil war. some say keeping his name is about preserving history. >> he did many great things with his life. he loved virginia so much they both decided instead of taking high positions in the union army, they decided to join the south because they didn't want to raise a hand against their virginia. >> reporter: other states say public schools should not be named after government leaders. >> changing it would help bring us together. especially considering we are minority majority school. >> reporter: whether or not sue art was -- stuart was a slave owner depends on with you ask. >> jester was a career military officer. he fought against slaver in kansas. he is an interesting man who deserves a vote. so why are we ably o

next you agree that general stewart? >> yes, senator. >> so that would mean all options on the table to prevent it? is that correct? >> i'm certainly not in a position to remove any of the options. >> our strategy to take rocco back has a heavy reliance on kurds. are you both familiar with that? yes. >> that creating friction with turkey. >> yes. >> would it be better if we had more arabs than kurds from a regional point of view? >> general mattis is the best person to answer that question and i think he's very comfortable with what the balances. >> from an intelligence point of view to see growing friction between turkey and curtis elements in the region push work. >> it appears likely. >> is that driven by our policy? >> it contributes to it. >> do either one of you know about that point? >> i tried to figure out what it was but i never got a good answer or at least one that i could comprehend. i'm still using dollars in coins. >> me too, to look at that issue and report back to the weather bit coin will become the cur

gina, buck, stewart, thank you. the texas bill just signed into law that essentially bans any city or county in the state from becoming a sanctuary city. it's like a showdown between municipal, state and federal law, the laws also going to allow police to ask about the immigration status of anyone they detain even for just a traffic violation and is any city official or law enforcement member refuses to comply with the law, they can face prosecution. i know many of you do not appreciate this constant conflict right now between state, local and federal law specially when it comes to protecting all of us, all of us individuals that are here legally in the country. so what's going to happen next? will other states follow texas lead? are we going to see major challenges in texas ahead ned, where do you see this one heading, major legal troubles or is texas going to be able to enforce the law, saying, look, if you're going to try and provide some kind of a escape to someone who is here illegally, then you're going to be

it's a policy decision that perhaps general stewart may want to discuss, but we want to try to continue to provide the intelligence that would shape and fashion that decision among our policymakers, general mattis and others. >> finally on the issue of cyber, right now we have no policy, nor did we for the previous eight years of the last administration. and so, therefore, without a policy, we don't have a strategy. so, therefore, when we don't have a strategy, we don't know how to act. is there -- is that a true depiction of the scenario as we see it as far as cyber is concerned? >> well, i think we're learning that we do need to take this seriously, which we do. we do need to fashion a means by which we address these cyber attacks. they're growing by the day. our critical infrastructure is at risk, our personal lives are at risk, our financial community, commercial communities, military and other entities that are important to our national security are at risk and shaping a policy and a plan to address this i think rises to top priority. >> i want to thank you and general stewart for
