that the united states could not pretend that the war would not affect america or the united states would not get involved and she wrote a beautiful letter i will show you later about this process. and fourth, by the time she came back from the united states just before the sinking, she had determined that this war was a war of high principles and high ideals. it was a war of democracy against atocracy. they found only six editorals of americans wanted to go to war. the ship forced american to answer the question what do you want to do about the war? what should america's proper response to the war be? some of you know, william jennings brian who was wilson's secretary of state thought the appropriate thing was to ban americans from traveling overseas. william jennings brian resigned after wilson refused to go that far. she became an advocate of preparedness. it is time for the united states to get military ready, if not necessarily to fight a war but to make it strong enough that the europeans will infringe. the wonderful annanalogy. it is strong enough and powerful enough to depend itse

makes everything that the united states then does absolutely correct. so i--the idea that we're involved in this kind of a struggle, if there are those within the united states that feel that the struggle could be ended more rapidly with less loss of life, that the terror and the destruction would be less if we took a different course, then i think that they should make their views known. i don't think they're less patriotic because they feel that. in fact, i think that they would be less patriotic if they didn't state their views and give their ideas, just because the united states is involved in this kind of a conflict as we are at the present time. not to state any opposition, or say that we can't state an opposition because of the--the fact that we're involved in a struggle i think is an error. this is a difficult period of time, but the mere fact that we're shooting one another across the world doesn't make the united states automatically right. i think it should be examined. it doesn't make the course that we're following at the present time automa

wanted to pursue a way through the diplomacy resolve conflicts in the rest of the world and the united states is a very important acter. the response they got that same day when president trump was in reyad and gave that speech was the united states clinching its fist and doubling down. i think iranians, the the ordinary people who want to resolve these issues and want to have a better relationship was very, very disappointed. host: you can join the conversation here looking at u.s.-iran relations. we're talking about the u.s.-iran relations in the wake of the election the follow hup to the president's trip as mentioned in that speech he did address iran. here's some of what he had to say. from lebanon to iraq, the yemen, iran funds arms and trains terrorists, militias, and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the roirge. for decades iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. it is a government that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing the destruction of israel, death to america, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this very room. ong iran's mo

this would give the united states defensive basis off its coast, again protecting the united states, in return for these old destroyers which were headed for the scrapheap. churchill was delighted by this. assignedt that it was the united states was getting involved in the war, but there was no reason whatsoever to think that it was. , evenas a help to britain as i say, agreed to by both of the candidates, so there was another issue that came up, much more serious, at the end of 1940 , and that was britain did not have any money left to buy the armaments under cash and carry from the united states. what was it going to do? was safelylection over, what roosevelt announced was a program of lindley's -- lease.olice -- polic lease to any country. the analogy was ridiculous, but .hat's what he said he probably never expected to get this back at all, but went back through the motions. how britain was going to repay it was a very good question. in 1946, when britain after the war desperately needed a bigger loan from the united states and canada to rebuild its economy, what happened was that

the mission of the united states navy is multifaceted. u prevent the outbreak of major war and uphold peace and security around the globe. that's part of what the navy does. you keep open pathways of prosperity from the straits of hormuz to the south china sea. just yesterday, one of our ships conducted freedom of navigation operations, reminding the world american leadership looks like. and you do what men and women in the navy have always done, you bear the burdens of your duty with honor, courage, and commitment as the unbreakable backbone of american freedom. that's what the navy does, and it's now all of you will do from this day forward. and soon to be commissioned officers in the united states navy and marine corps, all of you, from this day forward, are called to be leaders. you follow the wake of heroes who have done just that. you can banish any doubt by thinking of those who have gone before, and the great cloud of witnesses that surrounds us today not just in the stands, , but beyond. when i think of those who have gone before,

we should really start investing heavily in making sure that the united states is a full partner in the diplomatic process. don't believe there can be a solution without that united states development in this. so far the trump administration has not shown to much interest in that. regard to chicago, illinois. >> thank you for taking my call. the most important thing is the money. trump has, he has lots of money. find out where it is coming from and follow the money. that is where it is. we have a little host: go ahead. caller: could you explain the relationship between the ottoman empire and huron as it is today? could you expand on that? thank you. host: the government that is in power in iran today. i think we touched on it with the guardian council you talked about. the nuclearou about deal. president trump has to the campaign and into his presidency been very critical of the iranian nuclear deal. caller: the iranian -- guest: the iranian public overwhelmingly supported the large,rly on, but by and there is a tremendous amount of disappointment. a expected far more sanctions. they be

would he go to the soviet union or to the united states? i think that there are certain considerations here about stability that haven't been answered. >> let's see. i called on -- >> recently the presence of the united states in asia. i think the best presence of any country is diplomatic presence. president johnson has mentioned the necessity of normalizing relationship between the united states and china. governor reagan, do you think this is desirable? >> the only objection that i have had with some of the building bridges that have been attempted for this country is very frankly we haven't been hard nosed enough in getting -- when i say concessions i don't mean they have to buy their way. but in getting concessions that would also help build the bridge from the other end. for example, i think when we signed the treaty with the soviet union i think there were things that we could have asked in return. i think it would have been admirable if the berlin wall should disappear i think this would be a step towards peace and towards self-deter

i -- in the 39 months that i was the head of united states southern command, i learned a huge amount about latin american general and the difficulties, problems, challenges of central america in particular. and because of the nature of the job there, that is to say there was very little likelihood of any kind of a state-on-state war, but it was all about as i looked at it, all about partnering with people to help them help us stem the flow of drugs, stem the flow of illegal migration movements, and everything in between. so i would just tell you that in this job, as hard as we worked in my last job to make a difference, and we did make a difference, i won't go into it right now, but the fact is that the alliance for prosperity we had to, frankly, in order to get that accepted by the united states government we had to out-maneuver the other agency because they weren't interested, even though the alliance for prosperity was those three countries getting together for regional approach, regional solutions, put their own money against it. there were many that were not interested in the was

the fact that united states involved in a war does not make united states correct. the idea that we are involved in this kind of a struggle, if there are those within the united states feel that the struggle could be and in more rapidly with less loss of life, that the terror and the destruction would be met if we took a different course, isaac that they should make their views known. i'm a big they are less patriotic because they fear that. i think they are less patriotic if they did not state their views and give her ideas. just because the united states is involved in this kind of a conflict at the present time, not the state or the opposition, because of the fact that we are involved in the struggle. error. it is an period of difficult time, but the fact that we are shooting each other does not make the united states right. at the could should be examined. it does not make the course we are following at the present time automatically right, automatically correct. i think that those who have a different point of view, no matter what their point of view or whether

twenty years ago between japan and the united states has been discussed. after that, about the assumption of this kind of emergency the program had been activated. of course, between the allocate in the united states because they were allied forces, how to evacuate noncombatants. they had seen a lot of programs updated but between japan and south korea, as far as i know, between japan and south korea the japanese are noncombatants in fuel. jointly and since then to overseas. there is not much discussion and plan formulated between the two governments and therefore at this moment we do that seriously from the same situation could happen at any time and therefore , sharing needs to be improved but the saving of the evacuees. i think that is very important starting point for us to conduct a discussion between japan and south korea. the united states has a an important role to play in that. when we evacuate from the korean peninsula, when the us forces or us carry south evacuation the nationals may join in so i think between japan and us also their cooperation

the united states and colombia, both democracies of longer standing in the hemisphere, we have supported each other, our soldiers fight shoulder to shoulder in the korean war at the request of the united states, we sent anti-drug experts to afghanistan and today colombia and the united states we are working to support the fight against drug cartels and the violence of organized crime. i can say, mr. president, based on our conversation this afternoon that i have no doubt that the united states and colombia continue to be today, more than ever, a support, one for the other. our alliance was strengthened. our most valuable cooperation has been plan colombia, which i can sum up in very simple terms. when colombians were fighting to survive, for our democracy to survive, actually, faced with the threat of terrorism and drug trafficking, the united states stretched out a hand and helped us win that battle. we will never forget it. today, we live in a different country. today, colombia is a more peaceful society, a more modern and a fairer society. in november last year, we ended the longest a

states and the beginning of a turning point between the united states and the arab and islamic world. -- hisesty, the custody messy and president donald trump signed a joint strategic operation which sets the stage for a truly strategic relationship between our two countries. our relationships will evolve into a more strategic ownership, it will deal with ways to cooperate in terms of violent extremism, financing of terrorism, increasing defense capabilities, working on a defense architecture for the and then looking at how other countries can join the strategic vision that also includes trade and investment education and working in all to enhance our common interest and deal with the challenges that face both of our countries. this is unprecedented, we've not had an agreement signed by the kingdom of saudi arabia and the president to codify the relationship. this is a great compliment. in addition to the signing of this strategic vision declaration, the two countries signed a series of agreements, but commercial and government that involve trade

in order to keep the second and third launch from coming, the corporation of the united states, we -- with the cooperation of the united states, we do need to enchance our capability and we need to enhance our safety. so japan has a role to play. among all the countries in the world, when the countries that talk, we have self-defense. , by preventing ourselves from preventing the other side from launching the attack again, i think japan is a country which does not have that capability. of course that doesn't mean we engage in war. but when the second attack is carried out by the enemy, we do have the capability of self-defense. to keep our enemy from doing so. i think that is constitutional and our interpretation of the constitution. and what we have to do at the government, and we made a proposal to the prime minister about this and the prime minister accepted that proposal. the collaboration between japan and the united states, i think we do need to enhance opportunities. mr. nakatani: we wonder what would happen. however, after the president trump became president, the first summit

i am of the view people in the united states senate represent people from across the country, different philosophies, different political parties, different backgrounds. we all bring to the united states senate a set of characteristics that are different, one from another. but i have great regard and respect for every united states senator's point of view, and i would say that every senator ought to have the ability to express their views on behalf of their constituents, but we can only do that if we allow the senate to function. i was on the senate floor not longing a praising the fact that we finally were successful in the appropriations process, that we passed fy 2017 appropriations bill. for too long the appropriations process has been broken down and we have conducted business in the united states by a continuing resolution. i thought we were back on a path in which there was enough agreement, respect among members, enough setting aside of partisan differences to actually accomplish legislation. i was pleased that we did that, but today we fall back into the pattern when something

education available in the american institutions and i wanted to broaden my horizons and move to the united states for college but also the first time i came to the united states i was 8te year's old, i came to california. i was with my father who became a profess or here and fell in love with the united states and going back to france i kept thinking about america, culture, history, politics, literature, arts but definitely when i finished high school i was keen on moving to the united states. >> why did you stay?hy >> there are so many things that i love about america, universities, best place to write about. after college i went to law school, i became a public defender, a human rights lawyer defending the rights of poor people in the nation's criminal justice system and ultimately i decided to become academic and now an opportunity to work at the university. >> professor jouet is america unique, is america is exceptional. >> a lot of people misunderstand and people think that it means that exceptionallist and it's wonderful, superior or outstanding. america is an exception objectively compared

raw material in the united states. in wyoming specifically with, the green river basin is the world's largest area for the naturally occurring element. soda ash is a key component for manufacturing glass, soaps, chemicals. china is seeking to capture the global market share from the united states through unfair trade practices. china has given the synthetic ma makers a rebate. will you continue to highlight market subsidies like the market ash on the exports that harm -- >> thank you. the answer is yes. i look at this very much like the steel issue where they're being unfair and where they're providing unfair subsidiesubsid. this is the kind of thing that we have to strenuously object to and try to do everything we can to correct. >> we did raise it with the premier when we were there. in regard to brief, senator gardner asked a lit about that. child china lifted its ban on u.s. beef last september, technical barriers have prevented the u.s. beef from gaining access to the chinese market. in april i signed a letter on t

today they are made up of 535 people, most thinks they should be president of the united states. he has quartz which he learned will challenge the president. he has governors, 50 of them, half think they should be president of the united states of and have legislatures. by the way, he has the press as well, civil society and americans who are ungovernable. and so the job of getting to be president is one thing. once you're there, it's quite another. the learning curve has been state. we have seen some things that the world likes what they see. i think the decision to strike the syrian hebert airbases after the, weapons attack by sat on his own people was a very important corrected. we laid out a redline a few years ago it had been crossed, we had done nothing. that eroded our credibility. in that single strike, the administration said this far, and no further. there are some things that are intolerable. i saw something else in the way the president did that. he said i cannot sit by and watch babies choking on chemical gas. what he was saying was as president of the united states,

the united states could not pretend that the war would not affect america or the united states would not get involved. she wrote a beautiful, lyrical letter i will show you later about this process. and fourth, by the time she came back from the united states, from europe to the united states just before the sinking of lusitania, she determined this war was a war of high principles and high ideals. it was a war of democracy against autocracy. those articles help to make her an even bigger celebrity. she came back to the united states just before the sinking of the lusitania as i noted. that sinking did not lead the united states to want to declare war on germany. a survey done of 1000 american newspapers shortly after the sinking of the lusitania found only six had editorials arguing for american entry. very few americans wanted to go to war. my daughter brought home the history textbook, the textbook said sinking of the lusitania led the united states into world war i. nothing could be further from the truth. the sing sink led americans what do you want to do about this war? what sho

that have ensured many jobs in the united states and contributing wealth to the u.s. economy. and further, and with the currency fluctuation, we have never made to expand ourselves by trying to sell it cheaply. so between japan and united states, looking at trade and economic relationships have evolved hugely, and i've explained to president trump, and i believe he understands this. and after united kingdom, when it comes to fdi and investment in united states, creating jobs and united states, japan is number two. we are making huge investments in the united states. and i have told president trump on this. and how we should expand and develop our relationship? we should create a framework. vice president pence and the deputy prime minister will have a dialogue. the other day, vice president pence visited japan. free and fair rules should be --ated together between together with the united states, and as the trade rules in the world, we have agreed on this. in the infrastructure for railways and other infrastructures, for individual projects, we have the will to move fo

the united states. ultimately, the final denial was in april. we have no choice. well, the choice would be to ignore a court order. so you can't pick and choose the laws that you obey and i can't pick and choose the laws that we're, by law, are required to enforce. and as i say, i've attempted to talk to senator casey, i mean, he's a busy guy too. he constituent get me yesterday but he did talk to the real person he needed to talk to, tom homan who's ice. i will try for the rest of the day and maybe for the rest of my life to talk to him, but i will give him the same message that tom homan gave him. this person exhausted all of the legal pro protections, the process that the united states laws as passed by the united states congress gave her and we had a court order to remove her and we did. we can't disobey the law. and with that, i gotta run. >> thank you, secretary, thank you very much. >> thanks so much.

business community is also presenting the prospect of a slew of investments from vietnam to the united states probably the world's most destination. [speaking in native tongue] i, in fact, have seen a number of license issues to be mean investors to make 50-$70 billion investment projects here in the united states. [speaking in native tongue] on education vietnam and america are embarking upon many joint projects particularly the establishment of the university in vietnam as a nonprofit, independent, high-quality, higher education institution which also aims to help vietnam social reorganization and keep pace with the latest international standards. moreover, vietnam has over 31000 pygmies studying here in the united states. they are and will contribute to vietnam's economic development and over serve as a bridge connecting our two countries and our two peoples and essential component of the brighter future for our bilateral bonds. [speaking in native tongue] on tourism, 0.6 million americans have visited vietnam in 2016. almost 50 million families are frequent users of google, facebook and y

committee, soda cash continues to face unfair trade practices from china, from other countries, the united states is the most competitive supplier of soda ash in the world due to the abundance of a raw material called troena in the united states and wyoming is the world's largest naturally occurring troena. soda cash is a key manufacturing comb ponment of glass, detergents, soaps, chemicals. china is seeking to capture the global market share from the united states soda ash producers and they do it through unfair trade practices. they've given its own synthetic soda ash producers a significant rebate on the china's value added tax. if confirmed, will you continue to work to highlight and eliminate market distorting subsidies like the value-added tax rebate on soda ash that harm u.s. workers proond deucers? >> the answer is, yes. i look at this very much like the steel issue where they're being unfair and where they're doing -- providing unfair subsidies. had is the kind of thing that we tro strenuously object to and do everything we can to try to correct. >> i appreciate it because -- and we did

your country is fortunate to have you as se betweenistoric day the kingdom of saudi arabia and the united states and the beginning of a turning point between the united states and the arab and islamic world. -- hisesty, the custody messy and president donald trump signed a joint strategic operation which sets the stage for a truly strategic relationship between our two countries. our relationships will evolve into a more strategic ownership, it will deal with ways to cooperate in terms of violent extremism, financing of terrorism, increasing defense capabilities, working on a defense architecture for the and then looking at how other countries can join the strategic vision that also includes trade and investment education and working in all to enhance our common interest and deal with the challenges that face both of our countries. this is unprecedented, we've not had an agreement signed by the kingdom of saudi arabia and the president to codify the relationship. this is a great compliment. in addition to the signing of this strategic vision declaration, the two countries signed a series of agre

the united states, france, britain. they dragged the dutch republic into it, and the kingdom of mysore in india were all fighting britain. in summary, during this battle -- during this war, 200,000 french and spanish soldiers and sailors fought, as compared with about 250,000 to 380,000 americans. they were as invested in this war as we were. so i want you to know that america could never have won the war without france, and france would never have fought the war without spain. and what i hope all of you take away is this -- that america did not achieve independence by itself. instead, it was borne at a centerpiece of an international coalition which, together, worked to defeat a common adversary. that is pretty much who we are today. we are the centerpiece of international coalitions striving towards a common goal, and that is why we remain, today the indispensable nation. , thank you. prof. zagarri: thank you.

eclipsing even the united states. i urge you to compliment them on their significant leadership in pledging to shut down the illegal ivory markets and find ways we can explore the africa continent and that you continue to advocate for our values in china and in how we both engage in africa. >> i appreciate your bringing that issue up. and i think they have made a commitment now to stop this illegal trade in ivory. i think that is critically important. before i came back as governor, i was president of a medical school. and i actually went to africa and we have a number of doctors and medical people that volunteer and even our medical students from the university provide healthcare in africa. i think it's critically important that we work together. i will be glad to compliment them on what they're doing in africa. i think we need to look at opportunities to collaborate wherever we can. i'm appreciative of the americans who donate their service and time to help improve drinking water and to help improve conditions for pe

a recusal by the attorney general of the united states for misleading the senate judiciary committee on his communications with the russians. and just last week, the decision by the president of the united states to remove from office the man in charge of that investigation, the director of the f.b.i. james comey. and then the fumbling that occurred afterwards as they produced memos which were then disavowed and as they backtracked on the real reason for the removal of james comey. then to have as a sequel to it, a meeting with the foreign minister of russia as well as the russian ambassador and for the leader of the united states of america to disclose classified, top-secret information to those two people in his office. to tell this story as it occurred is almost incredible for us to believe, but the question now is what we will do as the united states senate. there have been moments in history where senators from both political parties have been called on to put country over party, to stand up together for the good of this nation, realizing the oath of office that we have taken bin

by eradicating poppy plants to reduce heroin entering the united states. security also means addressing the reality of outside actors. we are focused on global crisis throughout the world. many external actors have attempted to gain a foothold in our own hemisphere. international terrorist groups who have exploited criminal networks for purposes of raising money could also use these networks to access u.s. territory. the region has not been immune to the rise of isis and other militant groups like our friends in trinidad will talk to about. u.s. avid adversaries and sometimes foes have sought to exploit anti-american sentiments in the region. to counter these disturbing trends, there are number of things we should do. first we should make clear that the united states does not expect other countries in the region two's trade solely with us, but we will not allow our enemies to establish a foothold in the region, to speak out and to support pro- american leaders, pro-democracy leaders, responsible leaders who seek the cooperation of the united state states, a

it is highly fascinating that archduke franz ferdinand had come on a trip to the united states and gone back to his uncle, wanting to model the diverse region of the austro-hungarian empire into a federal empire based on the united states as a model. there would have been another type of evolution of the austro-hungarian empire totally possible, which would have created much more stability than we had afterwards. so i think that the united states first showed, with all the volunteers who went to fight into world war i, its desire to help the old world which had come help establish its republic. but i think that, more than anything, the spanish-american war -- yes, it was a colonial conflict. it was the first time the united states ventured outside of its borders and created and took over the philippines. but again, let me give you a french example. the french ambassador to washington before world war i, who played a major role in convincing the americans to go into the war, had been before at the french delegation in denmark. the role you will never see today, a french ambassador come f

the helm of the state department. we -- today was truly historic day in the relationship between the kingdom of saudi arabia and the unitedturning point in the relationship between the united states and the arab and islamic world. the -- his majesty, the custodial of the two holy mosques and president donald trump signed a joint strategic vision declaration which sets the stage for the building of a truly strategic relationship between our two countries. it will -- our relationship will evolve into an even more strategic partnership. it will deal with ways to cooperate in terms of violent extremism, financing of terrorism, terrorism, increasing defense capabilities, working on a defense architecture for the region, initially between our two countries and then looking at how other countries can join. the strategic vision also includes trade and investment, education, and working in all fields in order to enhance our common interests and deal with the challenges that face both of our countries. this is unprecedented. we have not had an agreement i believe signed by a king of saudi arabia and the president to codify the stra

the united states has a comparable interest. because the balance much risks are greater for us, it really behooves china to do whatever they can, to push the north koreans, at least in the near term, to the negotiating table and then give diplomacy a chance to figure out what can be put in place to at least buy some time until we can get our hands around more permanent sorts of solutions. >> you know, senator, the only thing i would add to these very good comments is you mention said in your question the role that potentially greater economic interdependence could have in mollifying state's policies in the region, and i think while many of us teach those theories in the classroom, what's been very clear in asia is that china's growing economic interaction in the region has not had a mollifying impact, but it's actually made them leverage economic tools to their benefit in very draconian ways, whether it is economic sanctions against south korea over thaad, or tropical fruits from the philippines, or rare earth minerals to japan.

understanding the american responses to the holocaust, the state department decides in europe or in your country whether you can qualify for an immigration visa to the united states. so you are not coming to ellis , island and presenting your papers. you're doing all that in europe. once you have your visa, then you can come and immigrate. crucially also, the united states has no refugee policy. we only have an immigration policy so people fleeing racial and religious persecution have to go through the same deliberate immigration steps as anyone else. in 1929, the stock market crashes. five years after the new immigration act. and the u.s. and a lot of the sens -- deens -- the scends into an economic depression and as a result of that president herbert hoover issues and instruction to the state department to deny immigration visas to anyone who would likely become a public charge. anyone who they perceive would at any point need any sort of assistance from the united states once they immigrated. so if you did not have an indefinite stream of income, you are no longer eligible for a visa. immigration numbers drop significantly. in march 1933, roosevelt take

they are wards of the united states of america. cretary of war newton d. baker to offer the services of the indians in the great war. >> from all over the west, we now stand 50,000 indians between the age of 17 and 55. we beg of you to give us the right to fight. we guarantee you, sir, our hearts could be no better cause than to fight for the land we love and for the freedom we share. >> chief red fox's sentiments were echoed by the seneca arthur parker, president of the society of american indians in 1917 who wrote -- >> "the american indian has common cause with the allies. the indian fights because he loves freedom, and because humanity needs the defense of the freedom-loving man. the indian fights because his country, his liberties, his ideals and his manhood are assailed by the brutal hypocrisy oppressionism. challenged, the indian has shown himself a citizen of the world and an exponent of the an ethical civilization wherein human liberty thrives." >> the outcome of the 1916 election reflected divisions in the country. winning

but you also need to tie it into a commitment of the united states to the essence of the alliance which is article 5, this notion the united states stands foursquare with our allies when it comes to their security and defense. it was particularly important for donald trump to do this since during the campaign he had called nato into question. he called it obsolete. the allies were sitting there waiting for reaffirmation of what is a treaty commitment of a treaty signed 68 years ago. and they did not get it. charlie: john? >> he knows a lot about this and i think he is right to point out he failed in that respect. but against that, you have to youbut against that, you have to take all the things he said on are the campaign. implicitly, there is trump standing beside the head of nato. i agree it would be better if he had said something specific about article 5. to defend him, i think people think it is wrong these allies sit there and do not spend their 2%. some people say there might be better ways of measuring it than the 2%. the 2% of gdp is not a large amount to us. charlie: president
