the western hemisphere. every black person alive in this country owes their freedom to america, that is the true dna of america, not racism. the libel that it's racism has a second malicious attack which is to persuade large numbers of the communitmembers of thecommunityh and to alienate them from this country and make them feel like outsiders. they were here from 1619 you can't speak of american culture without black culture. it doesn't exist and one can go on and on. so this is a terrible effect on black people in this country and on the rest of us. it sometimes takes years to get a crucial facts like this right into thand then it can be undone next generation. it sometimes takes you a lifetime and let th the presideu don't learn over a lifetime. you can't trust anyone under 30. 30. i was youthful arrogance that nobody should respect. the reality is you can't trust anyone under 30. they don't have the life experience. when i was a youngster about 11 or 12, a book came into my progressive household. my parents as you know were card-carrying communists. the book was titled we charge genocide. it was a petition

in the americas but people throughout the world. if you look at the multiple maps that till you things about zika but i like this map is what it tells you is that if you look at the areas that are environmentally suitable for zika virus transmission like climate, like mosquitoes, all the right things, this is the area. there are about 300 million people in the americas to live in an area that is environmentally suited for zika transmission and within that rupe there are 5.4 million births per year and obviously as we will get to moment the issue of microcephaly when women are infected during pregnancy is an overwhelming important issue with zika. this is what i meant for the people in brazil first started noticing a dramatic increase in microcephaly over and above the baseline. now you have heard people argue well, they weren't really looking for microcephaly so yes it probably is a bit of an over call but there is no doubt there is a major increase in microcephaly associated with zika and we are seeing back in a number of other cou

[applause] one of the most important reforms of all is trade reform. as bernie sanders has said, hillary clinton has bad judgment. said it many times. we've seen this bad judgment overseas, in libya, iraq, and syria. we've seen it in iran. we've seen it from president obama, when he gives $150 billion to iran, the number one terrorist state and even gives them 400 million in money laundered cash as a ransom payment. but we've also seen the terrible obama-clinton judgment right here, for everybody to see in detroit. hillary clinton has supported the trade deals, stripping this city and this country of its jobs and its wealth. she supported bill clinton's nafta. she supported china's entrance into the world trade organization. she supported job-killing trade deal and that was a really bad one, with south korea. and she supports the trans-pacific partnership, not now. but very soon, if she wins, so we can't let her win. tha

in short, hillary clinton wants to the america's angela merkel. and you know what a disaster this massive immigration has been to germany and the people of germany. crime has risen to levels people thought they would ever see. it is a catastrophe. we have enough problems in our country. we don't need more. lastly, we will need to restore commonsense to our security procedures. another common feature of the past attacks that have occurred on our soil is that warning signs were totally ignored. the 9/11 hijackers had fraud all over their visa applications. almost everyone of them. it said practically invisible letters, "fraud." [laughter] and nobody saw it. the russians warned us about the boston bombers. and the attackers were even twice interviewed by the fbi. very sad. the female san bernardino shooter in her statements, she was here on a fiance visa. which most people have never even heard of. from saudi arabia. and she wanted to support very openly jihad online. these are the people we are taking in. a neighbor saw suspicious behavior, bombs on

so, the history that fukuyama says ended never really happened in america anyway. we have always lived in a different way, and i think the -- anglo sphere that hotter and experienced the fascism -- communism and libertarianism get a truly totalizing kind of socialism, and so the trouble that i see looking at our politics now throughout that kind of lens is not that our politics is small but that it's totally disconnected from today's problems. there is a kind of left-right debate we can have that would be an american left right debate. not two radical ends but a protectsive sense of what to do about the -- progressive since of what to do and both would have something to contribute. one would be better than the other but we don't have that debate at all. that's not even what is going on. and in a sense the question of why that is was the question i was left with the end of the last book i wrote and led me to this one, because i think that the reason fundamentally is that neither of our parties, neither of our large ideological coalitions, is looking at the 21st under

bennett: first of all, the voice of america, when you report on the beat that is america, you let peoplenow the good things and the real things about this country. also, there's another aspect that is really important, and that is we are incredibly fortunate that we live in a country where we have constitutionally protected weedoms of the press, where can write and report things without fear of retribution, and just by exhibiting and practicing those values, i think it's a really powerful message to the people of the world about how important those kinds of freedoms are and what you can accomplish when you have those freedoms. voa adirector of political position or a career position? ms. bennett: it is a white house position. it reports to john lansing, who reports to an independent board of directors. qwest did you need congressional approval? ms. bennett: i did not. >> does it end in the president's term ends? ms. bennett: it doesn't. the job reports to the board, and the board is a continuing entity. >> amanda bennett is the brand-new director of the voice of america.

the view of america is a little bit mixed. e american economic recovery, there is a sense that, depending on who you talked to, some people worry that america is backing off from its commitments around the world. could they have done more to sort out syria, should they have been a little tougher with russia and so on. >> faria, how does it look from south africa? is america the same kind of model? i've been struck by the fact that africans are quite pro american. is that more or less true today? >> i think that when barack obama became president, both his inaugurations are like public holidays and where there were parties to go watch it, especially the first one and then barack obama as well as the first lady michelle obama have very close links. in other places, more discerning generals and there is disappointment that guantanamo hasn't been closed, for example, or the smoulerring afghanistan and iraq and syria haven't really been brought to piece. i think the good reputation that america enjoys is going to be dealt quite a bl

the t.p.p. is vital for america's engagement in the asia pacific. it adds substance to america's rebalance, which cannot be just about the military or the seventh fleet. it will enable the u.s. and its trade partners to shape the norms of regional economic exchange by setting a high bar for future trade agreements, whether in the asia pacific or beyond. and in pushing the t.p.p. and bringing it about concluding negotiations, the obama administration clearly understands the t.p.p.'s role in securing america's future, not just its prosperity, but its place in the world. we know this has been politically difficult. it's a very tough election year. american people are wary of u.s. global engagement and economic uncertainty has led to concerns about jobs, worries about competition from overseas. these are all understandable, even valid concerns but we hope all parties will focus on the longer term bigger picture because there are no winners only losers with protectionism. economic development across the world will be blocked less interdependence means the
