so i do see the united states as an empire. if it looks like an empire, walks like an umpire and cracks like an empire, it is an empire. this is a country which was created in the 19th century by conquering land at other people's expense. mainly native americans and indians, canadians. but it expanded to cover their conquest by taking over other people's territory. that was the way the united states continue to be saved until 1917, which is the last overseas territory in the country took over in 1917. so there is this long history of the making of this country. i don't think it detracts to admit that. you can genuinely love someone someone -- you can generative of america if you knowledge the imperfections, which are deeply attached across the united states. you've got a lot of america increases they pretend it didn't happen. >> host: and chat or three described english and cultural legacy that they left across the world. how would you compare that to the spanish clinics >> guest: in a way there's a very big analogy between engl

putin was warning the united states about these dangers and they took take them seriously about. and they understood them. the issue has been that the united states has been reluctant to classify many of the fund fundalmentlist people. the counter terrorism cooperation worked. and president bush endorsed the russian view. there was a second war there that happened after putin became prime minister. but for a short period, we were working together and russia give us information that enabled the nato effort to succeed in the fall of 2001. then the situation went back to us focusing on what was happening in the north areas. russia focuses on their own problems and did want see terrorism as a -- didn't see -- global threat with al qaeda. i think what happened with the brothers is he did get information from russia. the russian side said if you listened to us maybe you would not have given them asylum. it works sometimes. it is a limited partnership and the cooperation on terrorism is difficult. i don't know if we could have prevented 9-11. >> you have a section on your own. the russia

in the post cold war era and i think there are that's where i think the danger lies and with the united states believing that it needs to do something to shift the balance of forces in its favor and in favor of a bloc that it dominates. that's exactly what the united states is doing with its pivot so-called to the pacific but at the same time you have. saying that it's going to enforce its own. fly zone close to its borders which we all know that south korea did it unilaterally japan you did it unilaterally the united states it unilaterally and then everybody gets upset when the chinese start doing the same thing the u.s. certainly does feel threatened in the pacific that's why it's moving it claims to be moving so much military hardware there right by twenty twentieth's sixty five seventy percent of the u.s. navy will be will be in the pacific and it will be in the area around china around japan around korea the asia pivot is obviously a big geo strategic shift not because the us doesn't also want to dominate the oil rich middle east it does i mean we clearly see that but what's going to i th

potential candidates to host any big time games would be extremely narrow and your own country the united states would probably make the cob the problem is that the united states itself has at least twelve states there have sodomy laws on books will you be content with your own country being denied the right to host let's say two thousand and twenty four two thousand and twenty six olympic games as far as i understand the united states is actually considering that possibility at this point in my view sure they should be you know they should be kept to the same standard as everyone else i mean the i.o.c. should be you know should be you. example just say you know what the olympic ideals and true sport you know we don't condone. any type of discrimination mr mcguinness let me get it straight so as a former olympian you would actually. while come the united states being denied the chance to host the two thousand and twenty four olympic games because of these sodomy books that exist and taxes in alabama and some other states as well sure i mean you know. they not be held in alabama you know because

and i think the united states and pushing. democratization has to be given a little bit of credit that were ok then given all these factors together. the wheelbase home what you are you'll continue to research and feel finding about the bill collins democratic transition. were you surprised or are you happy though with the democratic achievements and talents today. when i type this the democracy become established died. i started coming here. in two thousand and two two thousand one two thousand and two open door still open in the stalls you for the old waste less of me in too many politicians are fighting there's not enough agreement and now pretty much everybody except democracy. but they don't necessarily accept all of the formal procedures. you see people going outside to proceed years of demonstrating of mobilizing followers to go out and put pressure on the legislature of which. in some ways is a good thing because it shows that people are committed and that there were and are trying to create various ways of holding offi

abuse is taking place but i think if we look at the domestic adoption of both in russia and the united states we can see that it's an extremely complex phenomenon and the rates of adoption disruption adoption of resolution a pretty high in the united states if i'm not mistaken one in for adoption for various reasons in russia that number may be even higher the statistics here are very complicated but in the case of international adoption you have to factor in additional challenges adjusting to new culture adjusting to new language the loss of social context and the worst thing of all is of course that there is absolutely no way back of adoption. is not going the way it was supposed to be well i think that much of that simply isn't true the rate of disruption is significantly lower than you said with respect to adoption disruptions or almost always. to the adoption of kids when they're older and when they've been significantly damaged to the degree there are disruptions in international adoptions it's almost certainly because governments like the russian government and many. other governments

want to bring to your attention a bill pending in the united states congress it's called the children in families first. bill does say that the united states should be committed to doing a better job than it has been doing in terms of just the kind of numbers you're talking about and i myself would love to see those figures kept better in part because i feel completely confident that if we had those figures they would help show even more than the data we have today that it does an amazingly good job of helping kids get good homes and that the numbers of a abuse and neglect of all the kids who come into this country are infinitesimal they are truly tiny compared to of course what happens to the real estate has me down as in those three hours i wonder how how could we have that data because we have the data. we have many many studies over the years what we don't have is one hundred percent perfection in terms of keeping track of every single kid who comes into this country i would like to do that but if you don't have the means of tracking every single kid how can you even argue that yo

that's happening. >> is the united states on the side of the protests? >> the united states is on the side of the ukrainian people. they have indicated three months ago when this began than president yanukovych, his decision to turn away from europe was not the choice of the ukrainian people. the ukrainian people expressed themselves peacefully. they were met with violence, and that did not end well for yanukovych. >> does he have to go, in the president's mind? >> he has gone. >> but does he have to relinquish power? >> he has gone, david. this is an interesting and complicated situation, as you know. yanukovych has lost enormous legitimacy despite having originally been democratically elected. by turning on his people, by using violence in the streets and flouting the will of the people. >> he's saying he's not stepping down. >> but he left kiev, packed up in an orderly fashion, took his stuff, his furniture with him. this was not fleeing in a very disorderly fashion. so now he is in a place that will reveal itself. yesterday we knew where he was. today

not to the imperialism so sometimes i feel like when you are fighting an almighty enemy like the united states it's somehow in a weird way helps you a side a country to consolidate people around the regime that some may not even like to feel like the united states is helping given away by being your enemy to consolidate people are around you on your government. it's hard for me to answer that question i mean. if this isn't an objective situation that we're facing we have. the united states involved again and all these regime change policy and we have denounced that and we face that if we have confronted them over the last of it over the past years it was the. permanent struggle of president chavez that we have continued to be free and independent and. our people are very conscious of that you know our people are very have grown a lot during this very very revolution in terms of consciousness and they they know pretty well. who is their enemy who is the enemy of the people here so you're saying they constitute interference from the united states into your country's affairs actually helped raise

so in theory it was a proxy war between the united states and the soviet union the united states supporting israel in the soviet union supporting the arab side at different points it pitted a pro-american israel nurses are pro-american jordan and a pro-american saudi arabia so the lights were never completely drawn. again it was the arab-israeli war of 1973 that enabled secretary of state henry kissinger with singular vision and drive to lay the foundations of a weekend today call in retrospect the pax americana. the keystone to kissinger's efforts was egypt. it was a move from the soviet to the american sphere. it signaled the rapid decline of the soviet union as a serious challenger to american hegemony in the middle east. the pax america, officially began with the 1979 peace treaty between egypt and israel. this treaty established the precedent for later peace treaty between israel and jordan as well as for the 1993 oslo accords between israel and the palestine liberation organization. it also set the precedent for later peace conferences whether it be in madrid or in annapolis. the peop

i'm confident that the partnership we developed is good for the united states, creates jobs in the unitedtates, helps businesses in the united states and if we continue to cooperate and try to reduce some of the barriers that have been in the past slowed down our commercial exchanges as well as educational exchanges, we will be successful. >> allow me this is our perspective -- canada has seen great success but the development of mexico throughout this time period that is 20 years has been unbelievable socially, economically, politically, and mexico is becoming a world of power and we see this raising profits with the support of president nieto. we have made comments on the challenges to meet. i think the greatest one is the need to keep on increasing the flow of goods and services and information across our borders at a time where risks and threats to security are also increased across the borders. and that will be the greatest challenge to meet. >> look, i think the national relationship as i is have said before has been tremendously successful to all of us but i think looking back 20 y

the president also speaking there about a united ukraine, clearly the message is the united states wants the territorial integrity especially of crimea to be respected. any interventions by russia in the ukraine would be deeply destabilizing. what he doesn't say there is, what the united states would do about that if anything, so that's the unknown question here, clearly, there has been tense diplomatic effort between the united states and russia over the past several days. the president said he had spoken to president putin several days ago. so the question here now is, how will this message be received in moscow? will it have any bearing at all on how putin decides to play out his hand in ukraine? >> all good questions. thank you for your reporting from d.c. tonight. >>> violations of sovereignty, violations of international law. >> i think war would be terribly unpopular in russia. when you look at crimea as a function of a subset of the ukraine, i think you've got a place that this is semiautonomous republic. you have all of these republics that have, ethnic lines that has drawn the

guest: the united states has a stake in what happens in the ukraine. the united states had to fight 20th wars twice in the century. we were the vanguard of freedom during the cold war. we stationed some of the american troops in europe and some of the great events of our time was the end of the cold war, the dissolution of the soviet empire and of the warsaw pact. the ukrainians were really left out of that revolution because their economy was not reformed. ofy did not have the rule law that safeguarded their private business or political interest. they were run by pro-russian and .ometimes procommunist rulers have a people of ukraine chance for a very different future. it is certainly in the interest of the united states to see as president george h w bush said more than 20 years ago, europe should be whole, free, and peace. that is the strategic aim of every american president from president truman all the way to president obama, including presidents reagan president bush, and president clinton. we do have a stake in what happens there. united states

the united states wants to extradite him for crimes he allegedly committed in the united states.faces charges in new york, chicago, miami and texas. mexico's attorney general has not commented on the possibility of extradition, meanwhile though the head is behind bars tonight, the organization is not out of business, and it is not the only cartel in mexico to supply america's enormous appetite for drugs. for more now on the arrest of joaquin el chapo guzman, we're joined by adam rainy in mexico city. today he was if i recally charged, what are the counts? >> well, really it's one charge, and it's for breaking mexico's drug f trafficking laws. and that's significant. it is showing the u.s. it has registered a charge, but they haven't decided to file many charges against them. we don't know if he is going to lay on a lot of other charges pending against him. if they were do so, that would be a signal that this man is probably not going to be leaving mexico any time soon. >> what has the government had to say to the people of mexico. >> he was speaking early, it is flag day here, an

our bank has a deep substantial business in the united states. the management team also has strong ties and commitments to the united states. we are american citizens. i'm the first american ceo of the major swiss bank. romeo cerutti is an attorney asy admitted to the swiss and california to and hans-ulrich-meister has also worked in the united states. our bank has deep roots in the united dates and parts of today date back to the first boston corp. a u.s. firm that had its roots going back to the 18th century. there are a few key points i would like to express to the subcommittee at the outset today. in 2008 your subcommittee first held hearings highlighting abuse of the secrecy to hide on u.s. assets. that's challenged the entire swiss banking sector and encouraged us to push forward, work hard and bring about the transformation in the swiss banking system. over the past five years, credit suisse has become one of the leaders encouraging legal, cultural and business changes to enable the united states to have transparent access about this client

putin was warning the united states about these dangers in the united states didn't take them seriously obviously from the russian perspective they understood this because of russia's own problem in the north caucasus. the issue again has been that the united states has been reluctant to classify many of these fundamentalists terrorists in chechnya in the same way that it classifies al-qaeda operatives because of these other issues that surround it. now the counterterrorism cooperation did work in the fall of 2001. then we were on the same page and president bush certainly endorsed the russian view. there was a second chechen war that obviously happened shortly after putin became prime minister but for a rather short period we were certainly an alignment of working together in russia gave us all kinds of information about some of the people in afghanistan that enabled the nato effort to succeed at least in the fall of 2001. but then the situation i think went back to the status quo where we focused a lot more on while this happening in the north caucasus. we began to believe that when r

that trap has caught its quarry, namely, the united states. it has relegitimized the assad government getting rid of his chemical stock piles. only 11% of those chemical stock piles have been removed from the country. even the watchdog -- i'm sorry the agency responsible for the removal is casting about, whether a june 13th deadline can be met. the russian government has categorically rejected a resolution that would authorizes humanitarian corridors into the country on a larger scale than homs because they feel any punitive action he are a context for military invasion from the west. bashar al-assad thinks he will never ever be forced from power and i'm afraid i think he's increasingly more and more right. >> so in a very powerful position but so powerful that there's really no limit to what he could do, where it would start to have a diplomatic cost to russia? >> well you just put the president of the united states on the air after a confab with the king of saudi arabia, the emphasis is on relief, not crisis mitigation. you can't really treas

the president of brazil was invited to come here for a state dinner to strength the ties between the unitedtates brazil. she canceled because it was revealed that the nsa had been conducting surveillance in brazil and among the brazilian leadership as well. so she was really left with no choice but to cancel because of the anger that that generated domestically there. so, yes, sure there is politics involved, and plenty of symbolism around a state visit, there's no question, del. >> mike, we're going to take about a minute break. on the back end if we have time we'll talk about the interesting seat chart ahead of tonight's state dinner, but we're going to take a break. we're awaiting the joint news conference. >>> this is a live scene coming from the east room of the white house. that is president obama and french president francois hollande. >> it's a great hop for to welcome my friend and partner, president hollande back to the white house for this state visit. it is always a pleasure to host president francois. two years ago, i was trying to make the visit casual. when i hosted him in ch

the decision to the state department. state commissioned a new report. decision time is getting closer. >> most americans don't know the united states gets most of its imported oil from canada. thanks to new technologies canada churned out oil in amounts unimaginable and for this the u.s. is seeking a new way to get that oil to this market. thus, the keystone xl pipeline plan, a project bringing oil and jobs to the u.s. in significant quantities. because the project crosses an international border the state department was required to produce an environmental impact report that came last week. in the long-awaited report it opened the door for building the pipeline. with or without the pipeline extension, canada's oil will find a way to get to market - if not by pipeline, by railway. either way the carbon footprint is significant, and that has environmentalists in revolt. it leaves the president with a difficult decision. we welcome the u.s. state department report and encourage that it concludes that keystone xl would not have a significant environmental impact. >> the keystone pipeline extension will transport nearly a millio

the united states actually with the exception of ilia mob of another separatist leader who is the united states we have not really given asylum to that many chechens except for an of course we come back to the boston bombings earlier this year at some formerly lower profile people but it hasn't been such an issue with united states. >> host: litvinenko is an unsolved mystery. you talk in your book about opportunities and the need for partnership. one thing you mention is of course terrorism. when i was thinking about terrorism, i was thinking about about -- in u.s. history. one of september 11 and as you know at that time before september 11, the russian government, putin was not yet president were proposing the u.s. government close the cooperation against al qaeda and taliban. it was to miss by the clinton administration because we viewed russia as an imperial power in central asia. it looked almost like a treaty. russia was talking about cooperation against al qaeda and the taliban but in fact wanted the american blessing. i have no idea what would happen if putin was taken seriously.

the united states senate is not operate that way. there is no discipline to be in front, and therefore we have have these discussions. the member finally threw down his map and said, listen, he said, it costs millions of dollars to run for the senate, right? said that was true. can you tell them, if they do not ratify the treaty, you do not give them the money? [laughter] cia would have no trouble understanding each other and knowing how the senate operates. he obviously had not gone to get briefed on how the senate operates, but he had very strong views. the same exists in united states, in every country in the world. i remember right after 9/11 i was in washington, attending a speech even by the vice president, and the deck and the -- deputy secretary of defense. i was stunned. i heard the deputy secretary of defense who was an ardent neocon explained that -- explain that iraqis had met weapons of mass distortion and we were going to invade. what the arab leaders appeared the most was the democracy -- loving populations they were --

but everywhere in the united states. hey come to invest in the u.s. so this is good for the united states and this is good for france. focusing on the protection and blaming anyone that invests it because it will be useful especially if they can come back so we need to make efforts when it comes to the attractiveness. and i shall invite many of the foreign companies to take that to inactivity council which we call the investing friends council to see what can be done to improve the situation including when it comes to be tax stability. so, this is what is very often referred. but american companies that have operators in france ask them why they stay, why they invest in france. it is because they find it particularly welcoming. you also asked me a question on a statement that was made by the employer's union on what i call that responsibility factor. this has nothing to do with the declaration of a statement. what is the responsibility packed i'm explaining mostly to the american journalists because the french journalists

outside of ukraine call them neo nazis or certainly there are nationalists i don't know why again the united states in the european union want to deal with people like that go ahead. well the united states deals with people who can deliver goods again i'm dumb seeing perilous a serbian two thousand back then put together a coalition of eighteen different parties that had nothing in common that had marginal support in the general population they put forth a candidate for a presidential function that may have won to majority of votes or may have gone into a runoff we'll never know because that very opposition proceeded to burn down the ballots and torch the national assembly and then declare itself the rightful winner of the elections this is the kind of technology works and then of course after they got into power they proceeded to cannibalize themselves and fight each other and violate the constitution in the six ways from sunday so what happens is that the u.s. government picks people who can deliver on the violence to overthrow the regime change and then starts moving these people around the boar

more without delay to into a general conflict what's important in the present situation is that the united states does seem to have made it clear at the time of joe biden's visit to beijing and tokyo last autumn that the united states would if you its security treaty with your partner supplying to the disputed islands in the east china sea other words the americans to seem to be giving a warning try to prevent any kind of miscalculation happening setting out their position is that they would feel obliged to come to assistance. in the event of a chinese japanese military confrontation since the americans gave that warning it seems as if the scale of the confrontation seems to diminish the right gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussions on parallels to nine hundred fourteen stay with r.t. . u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union over western europe but when you take that conventional military and now try to read task it as a counter-insurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stu

speaker, of the majority leader in the united states senate being a shield for the president of the united states. and each time we move an idea that's a good idea from the voice of the american people, by definition, when it comes out of this congress it's the voice of the american people, by virtue of the republican form of government, which is guaranteed to us in the constitution, i might add, mr. speaker, but the majority leader in the senate puts up the shield if the president doesn't want to see on his desk and it stops because the president of the united states has a blocking agent as the majority leader in the united states senate. and so here we sit in the house, making argument after argument, as i'm doing tonight, mr. speaker, arguing for bald budget amendment to the constitution -- for a balanced budget amendment to the constitution, arguing that we should audit the fed, arguing that raising the debt ceiling without restraints is a feed suspending and it accelerates the accumulation of debt. and by the way, you just heard a few minutes ago mr. gohmert talk about the president a

natural gas, although natural gas has moved from 3.50 to approximately 5 dollars btu here in the united states, it's 12 to 12:50 in europe so we're 40% the cost of europe. so we have huge benefits. and we are seeing many companies moving jobs into the united states. but those factories that once had a thousand people in the united states may have 200. so getting back to this whole technology boom, we just are not creating as many jobs, even as we develop more and more factories. >> rose: same with the united states. i looked at my notes because i wanted to remember this. you talked about three things, one is energy, two is the amount of cash corporations have. and three is that the banking community has, because of regulations, is stronger than it's ever been. those are the three things you cite in terms of the u.s. economy and its future. >> the beauty of the united states that we don't give ourselves enough credit. when we discover we have a problem, we generally are a very cathartic nation. >> let's fix this. >> we fixed it so in 2009 secretary quitener proposed the bank stress test. we agg

it was very contentious between two countries in particular the united states and great britain the united states was very conscious of the fact that britain was going bankrupt during world war two and was intent on using this as an opportunity to ensure that in the postwar era a great britain did not once again reemerge as a political and economic rival to the united states so bretton woods among other things. sought to establish the u.s. dollar as the unrivaled global currency the global unit of account the global unit for trade now why didn't we go back to a strict gold standard after bretton woods. there wasn't really any support for it . and the united states had no intention of binding itself to the old implicit rules of the classical gold exchange standard they wanted complete freedom to monitor. operate their currency as they saw fit the only thing they were willing to do was make the pledge that they would keep the value of the u.s. dollar fix to gold in exchange rate of thirty five dollars an ounce this is a pledge they were forced to read negron in one thousand nine hundred nine

we didn't start from scratch in the united states. they were in the right place at the right time with the right ideas. here are the unique bipeders. diverse public spirits, acceptance of the inevitablity of conflict and information and representation. this is a little bit small. i'll have to read some of these parts, too. imagine hearing these words, if u live in tunisia, in egypt, if you live in iraq. a great democratic revolution is taking place, everyone sees it but not everyone judges it in the same way. some consider it as taking it new. while others judge it irresist tabble because it is the continuous, oldest and most continuous known in history. democracy is on the march in the 180's. there is no going back, not easily. he continues, the political constitution of the united states seems to me one of the forms that democracy can give to its government, but i do not consider american people -- i'm sorry, i do not consider american institutions the only or the best that the democratic people should adopt. by making known what ame

mexico is the second-largest trading partner of the united states. second. why is that important to jobs? they are buying our goods, greta. by buying our goods they create millions of jobs in the united states for people who live here. let's look at how jobs are created and not try to build a moat around ourselves. if we do that we won't have economic activity does businesses every two keep us destroy mission that we are. host: you have been working in the house with a group of republicans and democrats in pushing for immigration reform similar to the gang of eight in the senate. rollup door, congressman, was part of your group that got together. r, congressman, was part of your group that got together. here is a headline from fox news latino. guest: i think that is regrettable. intelligent and very knowledgeable about immigration policy. suffice to say, i spent 5 months with him crafting the legislation. it seems a little ironic that someone i spent 5 months with drafting the legislation now says don't do anything or you shouldn't have a job. i hope raul com
