but the united states is still way far ahead of china, india, and many other countries. if you look at the g.d.p. of the united states, it's still double of china. and although china eventually may overtake the united states in total g.d.p., can'titative, but qualitative, it will take decades for china to come near want united states. >> rose: when you look at the global economy are you reasonably confident now that we've survived and put in place things that will make it unlikely we run into another kind of bubble like we found in the credit bubble? >> yeah, i mean, no doubt there are some challenges facing the world economy, but if the united states, we still have this general deadline where the budget deficit discussion will have to take place, and the international debt situation will also have to be discussed in february and she hopefully the two matters will be resolved, and hopefully both sides of the parties, the republicans and democrats have, learned their lessons and get their house in order. yes, i'm optimistic in general of the world economy and the united st

war detention into the united states. and, thirdly, it would require a detailed plan to be submitted to congress on how to close guantanamo, including the specific facilities intended to be used to hold detainees inside the united states. i've heard senator mccain talk about this, request it, and i believe it is a very valid need. it has been 12 years since the attacks of 9/11 and the united states invasion of afghanistan. in the ensuing years, 779 people were brought to guantanamo without charge, and for many of them simply for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. most of the 164 left have been held for more than ten years. those transferred to guantanamo from c.i.a. custody in black sites have been there now for more than seven years. and unfortunately, we still have not figured out a way to close guantanamo. president george w. bush called for it to be closed. so did former secretaries of state condoleezza rice and colin powell. as well as former secretaries of defense, bob gates and leon panetta, among others. i

one of the closest allies of the united states and. never actually forgave the usa for turning its back on more bartok but. in the long run a new thought that todt the support of the army so it had a safety net it had an insurance policy in both egypt and. was that was one of the major reasons that actually the obama pulled the rug from under their feet. off mubarak knowing fully well that supporting this important pivotal point where the actually win over the conflict win over the support of the people to the army which actually took over power and diffused to relinquish power it was only after protests further. we had to run out but i don't think that talks more about indecision and the lack of strategery even understanding what's going on on the ground and how would you how would you look at how the western powers particularly the united states has dealt with events in the greater middle east over the last two years because you know we can look at each individual country in their specifics there but the bomber administration seems to

is done in the united states. right now the united states is unbeatable for that. second, the value added on resources, how is putting its money where its mouth is. we're putting 5 billion dollars against the national gas advantage that was talked about. we are putting thousands of jobs at work. this will create up to 2 million jobs in the next several years. a lot of that will be exporting brains and of course a little bit of brawn. >> thank you, andrew. [applause] having heard from these three global business leaders, gene, i know one of your strengths is officiating the long-term growth of our country rests with private sector job growth. help the audience understand how in creating policies you think about the comments you've heard this morning and what you have heard of the course of your was first running for president, he very much had a focus on what you have to do to lay the foundation for the private sector to make the united states a magnet or job creation. i think in 2011 there was a bit of a sea change

comes to terms with iran i agree i think it would be a great thing for the united states i think would be a great thing for the region but it does mean that the united states is recognizing that there are genuine regional powers that it has to deal with through serious diplomacy it can't just assert prerogative and that is a nightmare scenario for israel and saudi arabia ok let's change gears you know what let's look at the scenario where there is no agreement valerie if i go to you i mean what what is the future then i mean if we can't because we keep hearing forces. still on the table everything's still on the table here you know if we don't get an agreement then someone's going to have to fulfill those words i suppose and if you're a ran you're going to do anything you need to do out of necessity to protect yourself i mean it seems to me that you know if this does the ring is we're all going down in one direction and it's not a very good direction to go for regional peace and certainly not for the people of iran that have been suffering under these sanctions for so long go ahead wel

encouraging investment in the united states is important. the u.s. remains the largest economy in the world and the largest recipient of direct foreign investment. as we all know, the competition for your partnership and investment is fierce. the united states simply can no longer rely on being the biggest economy are the obvious choice. we have to work every day to do our very best. select u.s.a. is the result of the president broad commitment to making it easier to do business in the united states. we are centralizing resources at says secretary mentioned to give information to -- you need to market the u.s. marketplaces. we are also joined by representatives from state and local government. they are partners in this. you should leave here today with the resources and relationships that you need to make select u.s.a. work for you and for your businesses. put simply, we want your partnership and we will work hard to earn your trust and your confidence so that you do select the usa. i'm thrilled to be joined by a great panel business leaders who can o

make that deal work and i think you know i think it's very reminiscent right now i mean with the united states the soviet union could have arms control agreements the united states and its allies can have an agreement with iran. i think that's right and i think you know in terms of trust i think it's actually the iranians that have been more poorly treated over the over the last few weeks you know going into the last round at geneva i think the rain ians anticipated getting a draft from the p five plus one where they had clearly worked out understanding's about how some of these contentious issues about about the twenty percent stockpile about some acknowledgement of iran's nuclear rights that you know. the rain ians had expectations based on their prior discussions on what kind of proposal they were going to see and then basically the united states and france reneged on those understandings and so the draft proposal that went in front of iran was different from what foreign minister zarif and his team were expecting to see and they were in a position to except that. you know in last you know

what's the united states' interest? what are the specifics thbottom country is looking for as it proceeds to extricate itself from afghanistan? >> our number 1 bottom line after 2014 and in 2001 when we went in was terrorism. al-qaeda still exists. the threat of a resurgent al-qaeda is something we can't accept. so we need to make sure that afghanistan is never again a haven for terrorism. >> ambassador pickering, how would you answer that question? >> i would agree with david that terrorism is an issue. i think that we have a difficult problem because over the years, we have created several impressions or misimpressions about why we are in afghanistan. one of those is the swiss democracy misimpression. another of those -- >> say what that misimpression is. >> i thought that shorthand would work. that misimpression, i think, is that we are somehow there to assure that afghanistan becomes a modern, functioning democratic state as opposed to finding ways, i think, to work within the construct of afghanistan, to try to help

there's serious opposition to what the united states did overseas. it was remarkable the extent to which and anger towards the united states. we can often forget that when here here domestically. but these revelations have been a significant setback to diplomatic efforts abroad. it's too early to see how it will pan out. if it's going to pan out the united states will lead from behind or regain a leadership position, we're going to see significant fallout for some time to come. >> brief point. i think like jim on this issue, i'm an optimist. time is on our side here. i think the development of international norms will follow from just the proliferation of the technology. in 1996 when they start to negotiate, it was some countries that had a certain amount of tech no logical gain already. i think what we're seeing with proliferation everywhere, some of the norms have driven the other doctrinal advancements will become more possible. people -- i wince when someone brings up letters of mark in this context. but there are certain types of international at

particularly going through egypt which is one of the most and staunchest and closest ally of the united states was people actually. standing up to. dictatorship which where wholeheartedly and emphatically supported by the usa the majority of the regimes were chiddy true supporters and allies of the united states and the people in those countries where fed up to the back teeth and were sick and tired of this board and the unlimited unwavering support to those dictatorships by the united states we've seen it happening in tunisia and then the popular uprising a popular uprising spread to egypt and we've seen the united states that the obama taken aback and after a lot of posturing. and did that ring he withheld support to his name which actually upset one of the other most reliable irreplaceable allies of the united states. which thought that was the ultimate betrayal of another ally one of the. one of the closest allies of the united states and we've seen. actually forgave the usa for tending its back on more bartok but. in the long run a new thought to the support of the army so it had a safety

because we're going to be envious of the united states. that's part won. shame on us we haven't passed that immigration law right now. second of all, i do believe it would be dramatic in the future growth rates of the united states. first and foremost, we have 1 million people who are living in fear. if they had a path towards citizenship, think about the new house that is would be purchased and the construction related to that. one of the difficulties we have and i'm sure everybody has difficulties in trying to get visas for some of the really smart foreigners who are graduating in our graduate schools and undergraduate schools having a hard time to be a permanent resident or citizen here and that process is going to make it more advantageous to us. it's a problem for many dops have more workers. they are going to be productive workers that will stimulate the economy and buying houses and adding to people's livelihood. and third the immigration bill third, the immigration bill is going to be a standard that will set us apart as a nation. t

we would defend the united states to no end but i would follow the teachings of major general smedley darlington butler our two time congressional medal of honor winner who said the united states military should never go over five hundred miles from our coast and i agree with that we have the technology to go anywhere in the world now we don't have to send our men and women throughout the world to be the policemen of it suggests a you're not afraid that terrorists are going to attack america from any side possible terrorists well i think the bigger question to ask is why are the terrorists attacking us can you answer that for me. why why why is the united states under attack from terrorism i'll ask you they are rushing to tell me and for me now why tell me well then you know what it is that's the question that's that's the question that's not being asked is it why do these people want to attack us isn't that what we should be finding out my view is let's get out of the middle east completely. that's my view look at what columbus came to the i'm going to have fun with you know

these countries have a per capita income or a will to live which is much lower than that of the united states the fact that these major they've gone and knees in the developing world that unlikely to grow any foster than the leading economy in the world that's the united states is i think a major disappointment but and specially compared to what happened last decade so i was making the argument that what happened last decade is an exception and the not every single emerging market is going to boom and it's going to happen in a really selective manner yet but the fact that then no one rising or no developing at such a high speed as before doesn't mean that this major transformation. is not happening and the reason why i'm saying that is because obviously it's not just about how much money investors can make all of those countries i think most of those countries and all concerned with that but what they are actually interested in is changing the existing economic practices and it's not a secret that for the last couple of decades developed countries have had greater leverage of sort of shaping

to fall apart not that the united states wants this to happen the united states wants to me horrid merry iranians suffer as much as possible they want to overstate the iranian economy and they've already succeeded in killing people because for example iran has had great difficulty importing medicines so the americans are definitely upset with this but as time goes on we are seeing increasingly countries moving away from the united states companies in nor in the united states and even individuals who are investing in iran without taking the sanctions regime into consideration. some other news making headlines this hour international peace talks on syria have stalled after the main western backed opposition group said it won't attend unless president azad agrees to step down the syrian national coalition is also refusing to sit alongside key regional power play iran which is a strong ally of damascus the united states banks the s.n.c. while russia has been trying to convince all sides to negotiate at the proposed conference in geneva. violences marred a key local election in kosovo where e

preeminent military and economic power, and as we deal with new constraints on defense spending, the united states will continue to represent there'll a 40% of global defense expenditures. most of the world's other leading military powers are america's close allies. what has always distinguished the united states is not simply the existence of our great power . rather, it is the way in which we have used our power for the purpose of trying to make a that her world. we have made mistakes. we will continue to make mistakes. but we cannot allow the overhanging threat of future miscalculation and mistakes to paralyze or intimidate our will and our necessary decision making today. in the 21st century united states must continue to be a force for and an important symbol of humanity, freedom, and progress for all mankind. we must also make a far better effort to understand how the world sees us and why. .e must listen more we must listen more. after more than a decade of costly, controversial, and at times open-ended war, america is redefining its role in the world. the same time more americans including

towards the united states. other options. one of my getting from this tale while the second time they've just comment on the on the actual hands i'd like to agree with the tv speakers up and the fact that to. yes the egyptian economy is in such dire straits right now the question of financing is the real question. it ended. this is just another element that comes into this and that we haven't spoken about so far and that is the goal. the gulf and the russians have serious tensions over what's happening in serie a right now and that syria is going to play a major part on as to whether or not this kind of deal will happen particularly given the gulf financing of the egyptian budget that the current moment. i find it really unlikely that the saudis would want to give the russians any kind of victory in the region particularly given this confrontational stance on the rollers the appellant's of the masses will say something to the saudis the mistake that an amendment that to my question will once and for the russians well the russi

the committee. one might, for example, include language that states, the united states understands that the committee's interpretation of the convention are not entitled to any weight apart from that event to them by states parties to the convention. one can imagine modifying that, specifically referencing federal courts. one could imagine modifying that language to specifically reference that the united states understands that there shall be no weight given within u.s. courts unless the united states has adopted an interpretation consistent with its domestic procedures regarding the creation of international obligations. >> mr. chairman, i hope that maybe we can look at that language as we move forward and need to ensure the pro-life community, obviously, that this would not have any effect on present u.s. policy. mr. meyer, do you see any serious restriction of parents rights regarding the education of their children as a result of the treaties that we have ratified, as you know, the convention on the rights of a child, children and armed conflict, optional protocol on children in armed conflict, i g

restrictions against iran have been widespread and imposed variously by the united nations the european union the united states and other countries so here's some of them the u.n. security council has ratified four runs of sanctions since two thousand and six including bans on heavy arms supplies nuclear technology and blocking weapons exports ease restrictions range from selling materials from enrichment uranium. meant to oil imports and go all trade in the united states impose virtually an almost total economic embargo on iran on energy products financial institutions and aircraft parts and banning firms from doing any business with the country and all this lead to iran ensuring currency rise a shortage of basic medicines and trouble buying anything from abroad a former adviser to iran's nuclear negotiator saying things the reason why reining don't trust the us is because of constant double speak. there's a group in iran that is deeply suspicious of the united states based on his longstanding animosity toward iran is the wides perception in iran that the us is engaged in a double speak to what the iran on th

one of the closest allies of the united states and. never actually forgave the usa for turning its back on more but. in the long run a new thought that todt the support of the army so it had a safety net it had an insurance policy in both egypt and in two you see about was that was one of the major reasons that actually the obama pulled the rug from under their feet. off mubarak knowing fully well that supporting this important pivotal point where the actually win over the conflict win over the support of the people to the army which actually took over power and diffused to relinquish power it was only after protests further. we had what i think that talks more about indecision and the lack of strategery even understanding what's going on on the ground and how would you how would you look at how the western powers particularly the united states has dealt with events in the greater middle east over the last two years because you know we can look at each individual country in their specifics there but the bomber administration seems to be

and saying no once it had agreed and then i think the united states clearly has to share the blame here because there was a an issue which we don't quite understand precisely the situation regarding the differences in the text but the united states was apparently leading iran to believe that there would be some kind of recognition implicit or explicit of its right to enrich in the text and this turned out not to be the case i think the iranians actually took advantage of the french monkeywrench if you will to say wait a minute let's take another look at this ok ok this is one of the things i want to get it is no because it looks like neither side won on the green emmanuelle a lot of people are saying i'm not but this is what i'm reading is that the french decided to change their position decided to sabotage it because they'll get future arms deals with saudi arabia and the prime french president is visiting israel soon how do you react to those two issues. well that's one position another position is taking consideration that france was a bit. of sets not to be associated in the beginni

you've all heard over the last state the reasons make sense to invest in the united states and if this is your platform. i've been visited by companies, which are represented in this audience in recent weeks to decide or trainer of the system, innovation ecosystem work for us, the access to cheaper and cleaner energy, that this is a platform they want to base themselves that. the network of trade agreements that were currently negotiating can be a global platform for exports and we will see more and more investment as a result. we are seeing a renaissance of investment in manufacturing in certain sectors we never thought we'd see additional investment and any expansion of global services here and even investment in our agricultural air, which is a world-class care are. so we're very optimistic about the u.s. being a platform for global investment of global exports with these trade and invest it treaties and agreements providing the context for that. i'm very delighted the summit is bringing attention to that. it's nice to be on a panel. this is a pin over everybody supports what it is

it was about showing a real side of the united states. send around african american musicians at a time when in the united states they couldn't even go in the front door of theaters where they were playing, and as well as playing their music, they told that story, and there is no more effective way to present freedom of speech than to demonstrate it. >> and spencer is it true? >> sorry cynthia. >> go ahead. spencer. >> well, government-to-government diplomacy is never going to go away, first of all. and i don't envy those at the state department that have to engage in cultural diplomacy, when it is extremely hard to measure the outputs. to find out what the u.s. gets back from it. at the same time, the kind of investment that the united states makes to use an example of sending african american jazz musicians overseas, necessarily contrasts with the realities of what the u.s.'s civil rights record was at the time. and certainly it becomes something that looks less credible in the minds of a lot of foreign publics, when the u.s.'s actual f

the big picture. >> secretary of state john kerry told the senate foreign committee that the united states should ratify the disability act. >> good morning, this hearing on the sena aate floor of the righ of people with disability comes to other. let me thank secretary kerry for being here. first, i think he has the thanks of all us on the committee for the incredible work you have been doing across the globe. and your presence sends a strong message about the importance of the issue. we appreciate you coming back to chair. we received the support of thousands of people and organization all of whom are looking for us to take the treaty over the finish line. we have received compelling letters of support from multiple companies with over 2,000 member companies. the united states chamber of commerce and the u.s. business. i want to recognize former president and ceo of the financial service round table steve bartlet. we have received individual letters from 84 non-profit disability and religious organizations. not to next sign on letters representing a thousand dollar different groups. we have heard from

israel has imposed policies on the united states that have really damaged the standing of the united states and it's heard it in this region very specifically israel is basically don't want iran to have a nuclear program they probably don't even want iran to exist but. at the end of the day the iranians have said that they will not accept anything at the end of the negotiations less than their full rights within the framework of then p.t. in fact president rouhani just today made that very clear that the iranians will definitely. demand their full rights within the framework of international law and the regulations of the i.a.e.a. and the current iranian flexibility is all is basically. in order to create a more positive atmosphere to create trust so that process of rapprochement can move forward and but that he said that the iranians will not under any circumstances halt enrichment of uranium for peaceful purposes and the end game us result in the complete removal of sanctions and acceptance of all of iran's nuclear rights and at the end iran to under such circumstances will. help di

they have defended the banner that united states us, the -- that unites us, the united states flag. and they have certainly made their wark. as -- their mark. as of 2009, i'm informed that there's some 114,000-plus foreign-born individuals serving in the military. 12% of them were not even united states citizens. so it makes a very powerful statement. i'm a grandson of immigrants. my grandfather, william tonko, served in world war i. i'm proud of that history that he helped to write. and he did that as an immigrant coming to this nation, understanding that as he left poland that there would be this american dream he could pursue. and my colleague made mention of the dreams. a tremendous bit of nomenclature we put on to people who were born here, perhaps, or came as youngsters and are denied opportunities. we have within the context of h.r. 15, the opportunity to empower dreamers. they are allowed with certain programming now that we have with the deferred action for childhood arrivals work that program they're enabled to perhaps get a reprieve from deportation or to be able to secur

as anything at stake as a nation there are certain right wing interests in the united states to get the cuban community in miami although the younger generation of cuban americans is going a very very different direction than the older generation but with united states is concerned about is the rise of the left wing governments of latin america and those governments are very friendly toward cuba so there is much more of an effort in the oas and other bodies to isolate the united states now safety united states doesn't change its policies toward cuba and these countries are just not going to go along with the united states is put symptomatic as part of a broader international lessening of u.s. influence we see what's happening in the middle east and i say can really influence the situations are war making we've got this powerful military the most powerful military in the history of humanity and it doesn't work since world war two you look at korea you look at vietnam you look at afghanistan you look at iraq i mean we can we are we can we can invade grenada and we can defeat a couple doze

the united states bottle has -- the u.s. government model -- and i don't want to exacerbate the model that i will present it as if it were coherent -- it has one track, which is as we withdraw our combat forces, build up the afghan national security forces, of course support the afghan political process and in particular the presidential elections which are essential for afghanistan's future because strong security forces with no government or not -- strong armed forces without government or not security forces. and at the same time, recognizing that there's a political base as well as other bases for the insurgency to seek a political settlement, television or other groups on the condition that as part of the agreement they separate from al qaeda and other international terrorist groups and accept the constitutional framework and afghanistan. as the backbone of that, the united states sees a small but important long-term us military presence as well as long-term financial assistance to the afghan security forces as essentia
