has allowed the asian economic miracle has been the pir otal role, to use the word pivot too much, the pivotal role of american military power in that region. and i think that we need to keep that going in the decades ahead. it's not that i think conflict with china is inevitable, cold war, hot war, that would be very undesirable. but there's enough shift in the power dynamics in that region that we need to make sure that there is a stabilizing force there. and i think our continued presence, not in an overmeaning way but in a way that signifies continuity is important to all our allies and friends and all the countries in the asia pa sick. >> by treaty we're committed to japan. >> to japan, committed to south korea, committed to australia, today committed to thailand also by the oldest treaty of all of those. but it's not just allies there are security partners. and china which i think in our objective is to have be what used to be called a responsible stakeholder but a partner in guaranteeing security around the world. china now depends more, for example, on middle eastern energy than the united states does.

believe, and i think this helps with the pivot, a key ingredient is that peace and stability which allowed the asian economic miracle has been a pivotal role of american military power in that region. i think we need to keep that going in the decades ahead. it is not that i think conflict with china is inevitable, cold war, hot war, that would be very undesirable. there is enough shift in the power dynamics that we need to make sure there is a stabilizing force. our continued presence in a way that signifies continuity is important to all our allies and friends and all the countries in the asia-pacific. >> by treaty, we are committed to japan. >> south korea, australia. we have committed to thailand as well. the oldest treaty of all. they are security partners. china, which i think in our objective is to have what used to be called a responsible stakeholder, but a partner in guaranteeing the security around the world. china depends more on middle eastern energy than the united states does. >> since bob zelick uttered those words, have the chinese accepted them and taken notice of them? that they believe in that and they want to be a responsible stakeh

american interests and that therefore for all these reasons, they felt that it was not just possible, but necessary for the pay lessates to attention, devote fewer resources to the middle east, and instead pivot to other , and into asia particular to dealing with the american economy, which of course, and i think the president was right about this, but that was what the american people had elected him to deal with first and foremost. manye time, i questioned of these assumptions. i think we can see very clearly the underlying foundation of how the obama administration, at least in its first four or five years, approached the middle east in this basic philosophy, his basic sentiment about the region. unfortunately, this policy has run into some very significant problems since then. certainly, the first set of assumptions, that the middle east would not go to hell, that the united states was unnecessary to keep it from going to hell, and that united states was in fact are the problem rather than the solution, i think that has been proven demonstrably false by the events of the last two years. .he region has gone to hell i say this as someone who was not exactly fond of george w. bush's approach

the '60s very much lived. on that, explain in historical terms why it was such decade. tant >> it was pivotal in many ways americans many challenged conventional wisdom. culture, how they dressed. meant to be a man, a woman, patriotic. what it meant to dissent. those hard big questions all of exploded in some ways simultaneously. we do live with the legry of century od a half later. >> the legacy is the role of the and the movement sexuality you touched on earlier. >> we would not have gay marriage. would not have discussions about the sort of -- well, about to expansion of marriage include include. happened.t have to be critical of the ways it culture and social landscape is the notion of it as being political. essentially, the ways in which lived their lives, who did the cooking? who did the cleaning up? had sex e, yes, even togethe togethe together. those were not issues. eminism is really about ngaging on the ground with the of ly important issues some which are within the four walls of the house or the apartment, show casing that, thinking through relations of power. o laws around domestic violence, around rap

the life of ambassador christopher stevens and three other americans in 2012. officials say the embassy is only being suspended, not closed, but it comes at a pivotal time. >> officials will be working the phones hoping this new government that is supposed to be seated in a week and a half can actually function in some fashion. >> reporter: still, there is not a lot of hope that a new government will be able to quell the violence. experts say it is the worst they have seen since the fall of moammar gadhafi in 2011. state department officials say the embassy personnel will return as soon as it is safe to do so. lefte lester? >> kristen welker, thank you very much. david gregory is moderator of "meet the press." good morning. americans fleeing libya because things are going south there, peace broken again in the israel/gaza, you have ukraine, isis in iraq, a lot on the foreign policy plate of the u.s. makes you wonder about the limits of u.s. influence overseas these days. >> right. and what the u.s. can really get done, how it uses that influence. these are huge questions right now for president obama. he's trying to get a cease-fire in gaza. but there is no lasting e

there's a challenge to the president, there appears to be a failure in leadership or crisis situation. they pivot and their only recourse is to basically call hard working american people racist. it's very decisive. i don't think it's helping anybody and i think it reflects poorly on the president. >> divide and conquer. why else? . >> he's trolling us. this is about the sixth or seventh time he's said this. he's often asked this question. he's not a broken record. he's like a doll and he says the same thing. he's obama's doll because he's allowed to say things obama doesn't. what's interesting is he did that in england, which i find troubling, because he's somewhere else and you already have very little media there that loves an american to fulfill the european assumptions about america, which is exactly what he did. i lived in england for awhile. they love the idea of the red neck stereotype. that we're racist. he just fed into that. the fact is holder said he wants an honest dialogue about race and he claimed that we were cowards because we didn't want it. but his dialogue comes down to he says you're racist. you say i agree. he called us a nation of cowards,

the asiana pivot announced by the obama administration. i looked at the clams and in the 1972 encyclopaedia britannia said the waters came from china. this was an americanpublication. i would say some of this is really choina believing that they have claims to the territories, and so i don't think they are necessarily doing it to provoke the u.s. i think they are reacting to the u.s. pivot mostly. and this is how they are basically saying "well, we have been pushed around by western powers in the past, we'll not let them d it again to us. >> if the u.s. steps back, will it weaken u.s. regional power. >> it will. the chinese are testing us. the claims are an issue before the pivot. it's a rehabilitation of an administration pressed by vietnam, philippines, japan, all the countries concerned about the provocative behaviour. china claims waters from 1,000 to 1500 miles away. it leaves at the south china sea, and believes it is an internal lake. >> with the disputes aside and the 35 year relationship we had, how would you describe u.s. china relations? >> i would say they are competitive and tense because there are more and more issues that seem to be going

the american work ethic. i've been a strong advocate for regular order. on top of that, these crises comes before our country, you have to pivot there and put in the overtime, just do what you need to do to get the job done. >> pat, ft. worth, texas. republican line. please go ahead. >> i would just want to make a comment since you are on the budget committee about the crisis at the border sort of thing. i think the way people in other countries like that, the ones that are coming over legitimately and not for terrorists, they look at the government as the one that's going to help them. they know more about how to get free byes than americans do. why don't we set up foundations to let people donate money, so the people will realize that it's coming from the people not the government. it's the only people are cueing up and helping the country in america, but i don't know if they actually record i.d. it's getting kind of strange out here. >> american people are the most generous people in the world. that can be proven, that we are a generous people, both with our local communities and also around the world. there's no nation tha

pay less attention, devote fewer resources to the middle east, and, instead, pivot to other things, to asia and in particular to dealing with the american economy which, of course, and i think that the president was right about, but the president believed that was what the american people had elected him to deal with first and foremost. at the time i questioned many of these assumptions, but i think that we can see very clearly the underlying foundation of how the obama administration at least in its first four or five years approached the middle east in this basic philosophy, this basic set of sentiments about the region. up fortunately, of course, this policy has run into some significant problems since then, and certainly the first set of assumptions, that the middle east wouldn't go to hell, that the united states wasn't necessary to keep it from going to hell, and that the united states was, in fact, part of the problem rather than part of the solution, i think that that has been proven demonstrably false by the events of the last few years. the region has gone to hell, and i say this as someone who wasn't exactly fond of george w.

the city. once americans saw those images of children standing courageously against injustice, the tide of national public opinion took a pivotal turn in support of the civil rights movement's cause, but we can't embrace that moment of america's moral fortitude without also owing the great -- owning the great moral failing to had it was responding because the children at the border have also been confronted with the hostility that is as old as the segregated south and just as american as the grace and charity of those who to who have extended a hand of help. if we are to claim our history protecting vulnerable children, we must fwraple with our history of responding to them as a threat when their presence undermines an established order. as much as americans rallied to the cause of the children's crusade, it was also agents of the american state that were willing to attack them with armed officers, fire hoses, and police dogs when they challenge a deeply entrenched way of life in the south. rick perry was preceded in his call to send armed troops to confront children by arkansas governor orville favas, and he, of course, called

americans have done in saint-lo. he is known today as the major of saint-lo. with his key objective finally in his hand, bradley hopes to kind of pin it -- pivot out of saint-lo and beyond. i mentioned montgomery's good would often sit. originally, he had hoped to coordinate that with a major offensive by bradley pushing , andwest out of saint-lo both want to use the air force is to carpet bomb the forces ahead of them. because of the weather patterns in normandy, the weather was simply too bad in the american sector to launch this offensive. plus, the fighting had been so costly the americans will not be in a position to push until july 24, and that's several days after the goodwood offensive. this is coming piecemeal and allows the germans to react to either one of them. bradley will, launch what is called operation cobra. he has coordinated with the eighth air force back in england to basically bomb in front of his line, to saturate the german primarily the panzer layer division in front of the u.s. army units. they'll be bombed heavily by the engine bombers and relentlessly, to create such a swath and path of destruction that the germans will not be able

the most active online. over 37 million penn fans have engaged in world cup online services. is soccer about to revolutionize american sport? rob ert joins us from new york. why has this world cup been so pivotalu.s. going forward? >> there's no doubt, this world cup is really the first time i have seen or we've seen here in the u.s. just so much support. and i think the main reason is first off we have a team that is finally decent, that has the opportunity to be a winner. and i think what has happened over the last several years is that here in the u.s., we finally can watch the best soccer in the world. on the weekend, we can turn on the premier league, we can watch the best players in the world. that is what has captivated the kids, the fans, and that's put this interest behind soccer. definitely when they say it's soccer, there is no doubt it is on the uptick here in the u.s. >> the current team is littered with players. you say they got hooked on the games back in '94 and 2002. as we push forward now over the years, do you think some of the strength you're seeing in the team is going to continue and gain further support? >> yeah, no doubt. look at the guy that scored the last goals, liam

the presidency in a different way. >> i see this as a pivotal boost to democrats. according to a recent poll, 54% of americans said they thought obama was doing a poor job on the economy. so they can now say we've done this and some of the republican talking points about obama care is hurting the economy, et cetera, makes it harder to justify. but then again, if you look at the beginning of 2012, we saw similar -- first three months, we saw really similar -- >> we've had false alarms. >> so while this is a welcoming news, i wouldn't say that -- >> and we also had the disturbing sort of revision of the first quarter gdp, as well, where growth shrank. >> disturbing news and then all of a sudden we get the best jobs report in 15 years almost. >> so we really need a couple more months of similar job growth and we'll have to see how the second quarter goes to see whether this is -- whether either the sgchlt dp figure or the jobs figure are -- >> never take the last month's jobs report. just never take it. go for a three month, six month rolling average. and that is generally upwards. but i think that there is the

pay less attention and devote fewer resources to the middle east and, instead, pivot to other things. to asia and a particular to dealing with if american economy, which of course and i think the president was right. the president believed that was what the american people had elected him to deal with first and foremost. at the time, i questioned many of these assumptions. but i think that you can see very clearly the underlying foundation of how the obama administration, at least in its first four or five years approached the middle east in this basic philosophy. this basic sentiments about the region. unfortunately, of course, this policy has running to some very sfi significant problems since then and the first set of assumptions that the middle east wouldn't go to help and the united states wasn't necessary to keep it from going to hell. and that the united states was, in fact, part of the problem rather than part of the solution. i think that that's been proven demonstratively false. the region has gone to hell. i say this as someone who wasn't fond of george w. bush ae' apprh to the middle east either. i never thought in 2014 i wo
