and now in syria russia was saying stuff like that that's enough the stuff which. on the 30th of september 25th in russia it's ass strikes officially they were targeting is not a terror militia. putin's american champion gave it his full backing on american television trump endorsed putin's intervention in syria and said no one should get in russia's way against the islamic state. yet trump was alone with his message of support the u.s. and its allies demanded that the russian astronauts start their missiles what was so hitting innocent people. were russians when we wage war against that and when we wage war we want to win and we do when they see that even if only 15 or 20 percent of our bombs hit their targets and they still in their targets of. russian military support change the situation in syria dramatically in favor of the assad regime. the international community could no longer ignore him move the solicitously to primaries he he needed a breakthrough an opportunity to return to the world stage he wanted to regain his place at the table with the other players

>> russia knows we're in a position of weakness right through. they'll challenged us repeatedly. w we've seen this in syria. they are trying to push our limits. russia will push forward until america pushes back. since they've invaded crimea and pushed into ukraine and done this in syria and libya. this is their approach until the u.s. comes up with a solid policy of what to do to fight back against them and that is why they're still interfering in our election today in 2020 even though we've known about it for four years. >> do you think biden will push back? >> i think the biden campaign will probably have a very solid response. the question is will they bring allies and partners back to be part of the nato that had some teeth. with president trump, his strategy is really the reverse which is to try to work with russia and pursue a very different approach. some could argue that that has success in syria but no it looks like russia is just punching us in the nose knowing we're not going to fight back to defend us in our battle spaces and we're plor likely to retreat. >> thank you. appreciate your time on

however putin is not trying to get western countries to contribute to the reconstruction of syria because russia doesn't have the money to do that any of that of which in the one year small these theories about it being a gift to putin are ridiculous if the new book i just go to show how vulnerable and powerless our western colleagues are they are permanently trying to stigmatize putin and russia as their scapegoats which in the. by march 29000 the syrian democratic forces supported by the us had won. the last i as held bastion had fallen and donald trump felt vindicated. for years to. ice a sort of election day. here's a serious right now you love. so there's ice there. and that's what we have right now as of last night that's what we have right now you guys are going to have the map to gradually shift. the reality on the ground however was far more complex. the successful partnership with the syrian democratic forces and the iraqi security forces was instrumental in these gains against isis but it is important to understand that even though this territory has been reclaimed the fight against i

russia's military on thursday for what it called deliberately provocative and aggressive behavior. following a collision between american and russian armored vehicles that injured multiple u.s. military personnel in syriawhile, russia's defense ministry pinned blame squarely on u.s. troops, alleging the u.s. had been notified of the movements of the convoy and the collision occurred after u.s. troops tried to block the russian patrol. u.s. officials have denied this version of events while all injured u.s. personnel have since been treated and returned for duty. >>> president trump spent most of his morning tweeting and retweeting about his poll numbers, protests in portland, and false claims about the coronavirus death toll in our country. so with trump focused on his re-election, and criticizing democratic leaders and a country still reeling from a pandemic and multiple hurricanes, are some foreign countries using this time to their advantage?

we basically handed syria to iran and russia and hezbollah. does he deserve some credit with regards to israel and the uae? perhaps. they were trying to work on that, and i give him credit, because it is important to have the arab countries recognize the security of israel. is the unitedy states has to build an alliance with moderate arab countries and with israel to confront isis, which remains a real threat to the united states and confront iran. we have right now a tenuous relationship with iran that could produce more at any time. one of the things the biden administration would do is a step in the right direction, go back to our allies, russia, china, germany, great britain, france and restore that alliance that was working with iran that produced the agreement. and forced that alliance to try to get iran to make concessions on missile development and supporting terrorism. that is the best way to get iran back to the table. david: great pleasure to have you with us on this special night, leon panetta am a former secretary of defense. one

so-called new immigration, just the beginning of the influx of people from places like italy, russia, ece, syria,and, gre other places in eastern and southern europe. and the 1924 law completely excluded immigrants from east asia, except for filipinos, who came from an american colony. so basically, the quotas, and they were called quotas, set down from 1924 on to 1965, this law lasted roughly more than 40 years. it was much easier to come to the country if you were from ireland, if you were from new england, if you were from norway, for example, because the number of people from those countries in the united states was pretty high in 1890, much harder if you were from russia, poland, or finland. and impossible if you are from japan, china, or korea. so the united states was supposed to remain an anglo-saxon and predominantly protestant nation forever onward. that was the idea, that was the hope of the people who passed this bill. the republican majority in congress and some southern democrats voted for it, as well. the only votes against this law really were from people from the ethnic cities,

russia. he's done so repeatedly when our adversaries have directly targeted u.s. or coalition artners. the president did not hesitate to act. look at syria in 2018 when dozens of russian mercenaries were killed in a retaliatory defensive strike. he has continually stood up to russia and will continue to do so. this president will always protect our troops and our men and women overseas. he will act on verified intelligence. eporter: colorado, hawaii, oregon, utah and washington all have automatic mail-in ballot systems. the president has made clear his position on absentee ballots and concern over the universe system. does the white house think those elections are fraudulent or more at risk of fraud? ms. mcenany: mail-in ballot systems mass mailout ballots will be more at risk. look at l.a. county with 112% of l.a. county is registered. that means you have 2% of excess ballots floating around that are -- we know at least 12% that are not accurate ballots that were mailed out. this is a very basic concept. and it's one that the media has done a very good job reporting on, not just jeffrey toobin at the new yorker, but also the "post" arti

russia. we have had other -- we have the russians involved in syria, got them involved in libya. they remain in ukraine. there are a number of challenges around the world. afghanistan is one that we have been fighting for almost 20 years now. we have a pathway to get our troops home from afghanistan and hopefully to have a draft and these and have the afghan people come together to govern themselves. we have got some difficulties in venezuela, cuba, nicaragua. there are plenty of challenges around the world. people,ne, the american and our continued ingenuity, creativity, innovation. we have been having a tough time in space prior to the president taking office because of cuts to nasa and lack of commitment to space. what happened during that time period? all of these great american private sector committees, whether it was bezos's company, together with, our traditional defense contractors, and our private sector has led the way in space. we recently celebrate it the first -- celebrated the first launch of a space capsule from american soil and a market -- american astronauts wi

authority of syria and libya and the rise of isis and we had russia pushing into eastern europe and the policy on the middle east, china and what is going on in europe. >> obviously the president hope for a big breakthrough in trade with china and that is in tatters at the moment after the coronavirus issue and some other issues in trade. that's a real problem right now. but in other areas, as far as europe is conferring the president has stood up to nato in a way that i think a lot of americans would've wanted to do but didn't do but nato should pay his fair share that was remarkably controversial early on in the president's term, if it's entirely with where his foreign-policy is and then there's the issue of afghanistan where we invaded in late 2001, november, december, 2001 and its august of 2020 and we are still there, the president has reduced the amount of american troops and will probably reduce it to a smaller number by the end of his first term. liz: byron york, it's great to see you, come backu. soon. >> thank you. list. liz: next up president trump's influential black support

contacts to libya and syria there's talk of his trips to the russian republic of chechnya and he's meeting with the head of the republic. the reason why marshall fled to russia is obvious since he worked with russian intelligence there's no other country in the world that would welcome him so willingly russia simply had no choice otherwise he would testify against them. but usual before what he's probably not a classic agent with agent status but he's obviously well integrated into the russian elite has a lot of connections and those could help him stay here for a while but never get. moscow has not officially confirmed marshall x. presence in russia kremlin spokesman dmitri peskov says he has no information about the former wild card manager according to the interfax news agency is not being sought by the russian justice system. i'm scared that of a war not hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers what alliance and. what's your story ready. i'm with i was and women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying in all ways to u

challenging the young, fragile democracy in iraq, dictators in iran and syria butcher their own people and threaten the security of the region, russia prevent a response, and everyone asks, "where does america stand?" [applause] indeed. indeed, that is the question of the hour. "where does america stand?" you see, when friends or foes alike do not know the answers that question clearly and unambiguously, the world is likely to be a more dangerous and chaotic place. since world war ii, the united states has had an answer to that question. we stand for free people and free markets. we will defend and support them. [applause] we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom. now, to be sure, the burdens of leadership have been heavy. sacrificeyou do the of americans, especially the sacrificed of many of our bravest in the ultimate sacrifice, but our armed forces are the sure shield and foundation of liberty, and we are so fortunate that we have men and women in uniform who volunteer, they volunteer, to defend us on the front lines of freedom, and we owe them our eternal gratitude. [cheers and applause] i know, too, that it has no
