of the united states. .. mitting more crimes inside the united states? some better example than what you are trying to say? >> a few points to that. this is the first iteration of this report and response to the executive orders directors and to working together with the hs expect to have more specifics and address some of these in the initial report in future iterations of this report. in terms of the cases that are reported, if you look at the cases, some of which are included in the section 11 report, there are certainly cases thatrelate to conduct that had been committed in the united states . conduct that is in support of for instance al qaeda or isis so there are plenty examples of conduct committed in the united states which would, in the way that we define it qualify as international terrorism investigation because it leads to a foreign terrorist organization or terrorist concepts. thirdly, of course we're trying to prevent through anyway we can the administration is tryingto prevent terrorist attacks

other domestic and external problems of the united states. the expulsion of russian diplomats, seizure and search of our diplomatic property, along with the removal of state flags of the russian federation, infringement of rights of the russian media, all these actions are destroying the foundation of the russian-american federation. the russian threat is constantly used as a pretext to strengthen the solidarity -- which takes forms of military planning. a clear example is all the hype around military exercises in 2017 conducted by russia and belarus in september. we were accused of preparing for invasion of the baltic countries for occupation of ukraine. there were rumors that once the exercise was over the russian troops would remain in belarus. none of this happened. it was all fake news. [crowd noise] however, the united states, canadian, german and british contingents which were pulled up under the pretext of this have stayed and are still there in the proximity of the russian borders. comments are unnecessary. the fact we are not welcome

the united states did help build a constitution and it's going to defend it in iraq in syria the united states believes it can use the kurds to gain a leverage over our side to fulfill the geneva process which the united states is trying to pursue a peace process that will allow the u.s. and its allies to gain important interests in damascus i don't believe it will succeed in this but i do believe the united states is committing itself in the medium and short term to the kurds of northern syria and this is a big change and let me translate it like a pretty dangerous game doesn't that. threatening their former allies in a sense metson way do you think this leaves damascus or do you think will say listen you know will but cleaned up in syria it's nearly a victory for me i'm prepared to let this go. i'm inclined to buy this argument of the u.s. has been is now less concerned about ankara's interest and preordered prioritization is serious i am inclined to buy that argument the point i'm trying to emphasize is an important how can i say getting increasingly visible dynamic instrumentalists

the efforts by the administration would be a safer united states. believe that and i know that the fact that there are individuals here in the united states that are willing to engage in the act here i think that makes the american people safer. >> [inaudible] can you talk about the significance of that arrest? >> it is a very important arrest in the complaint to the case that the former cia officer retained classified information as the case proceeds in the court i would expect more information about the conduct that underlines the charges in the complaint will come out but as of now i came to the division and it's an important case that goes to the illegal classification and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> they found approximately three out of four of the individuals on the charges and the studies are foreign-born individuals to enter the unitede united states and the immigration system. my understanding is they included people who had been extradited here in the trial and my question is is that correct and if so, how many reporters w

the world to recognize the state of israel. as you all know, the work we began on that day was left unfinished. while the united states recognize your nation, one administration after another refused to recognize your capital. just last month, president donald trump made history. he righted a 70 year wrong. he kept his word to the american people when he announced that the united states of america will finally acknowledge that jerusalem is israel's capital. [applause] the jewish people's unbreakable bond reaches back more than 3000 years. it was here in jerusalem that abraham offered his son isaac and was credited with righteousness for his faith in god. : a [applause] [applause] in the weeks ahead, our administration will advance to open the embassy to jerusalem, and that united states embassy will open before the end of next year. [applause] our president made his decision in his words in the best interest of the united states, but he also made it clear that we believe his decision i this n the best interest of peace. by finally recognizing jerusalem as israel capitalism. the fact is the only foundation for t

the meeting was called by the united states an emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the u.n. the security council now the meeting opened with nikki haley she is the representative of the united states and she voiced strong support for the iranian protesters calling them courageous talking about the usa quote standing in solidarity with the iranian protest she also went on a tirade against the iranian government the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves prosperity for their families and dignity for their nation we will not be quiet no dishonest attempt to call the protesters puppets of foreign powers will change that if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it now immediately following the remarks from nikki haley representing the usa we then heard from the representative of france and france is a country that generally agrees with the united states in u.n. security council proceedings however if you heard what the french representative had to

to people in the united states. agents and officers asking more questions and prosecutors prosecuting more cases. will lead to a safer united states. i firmly believe that. in support of isis-related philosophies engage in ask. talk about engaging in committing acts here in the united states that were able to prevent that makes the americans safe. >> i'd like to ask about national security as it relates to the arrest of the agents. talk about the significant of that arrest and why? >> i will say that that is demonstrated in the complaint that was unrelated to the case that former officer retained classified information. as that case proceeds through the courts, i would expect to have more information about the conduct that underlies those charges and the complaint will come out. but as of now, that case was investigated before i came to the national security division. it's an important case. it goes to illegal retention of classified information so it's going to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> yester

first, the involvement of the united states and the war with the united states. when we think of america's relationship with the first world war as being from 1917 to 1918, we are missing the main point. united states was deeply involved in this war in a variety of ways. much earlier than american entry in 1917. the other thing this poster is attempting to get across is it is part of the movement that began -- that was known as preparedness. but the united states should or should not do to change its own society. to change its way of thinking. in response to events with -- that were going on in europe. the question of how the united states interacted with the first world war before entry is something we have a lot of conventional wisdom on, half-baked ideas, but not really a lot of solid research. the book i worked on, "path to war," was an attempt to do this. to understand how a large, diverse, complicated society, like the united states, was responding to the events in europe, and how that response conditioned not only american entry in the war, but how american

the subject i am going to present is the promotion of defense between korea and the united states. i will begin the presentation with a brief outline of international r and d in korea and focusing down more on the joint defense r and d in korea and the united states. i will speak over the general status, prospects, and potential items for rock u.s. joint defense r and d. the history of international trained r and d in korea, which mostly centers around the civilian sector began in the 1960s. all these periods can be characterized as the period of learning from advanced countries through joint r and d. and building up technology capabilities. in case of the defense sector, however, joint r and d actually began in 2000s. this is more than 30 years behind the civilian sector. the top partner in korea in civilian sector has always been the united states. with japan and china forming the second group, and germany, the uk, and france forming the third group. the types of international joint r and d in korea can be classified into two categories. the first is the joint implementation of r

quickly and i mean if you're a second you know but that has nothing to do with the defense of the united states you're talking about values and i suppose that's all fine but has nothing to do about protecting the solver and country of the united states the state department should deal with these other issues here ok i mean i'm i'm serious i mean it sounds nice but it has nothing to do with defense here let me go to philip here you know philip i was doing a little bit of research before this program you know i was looking at you know republican senator robert taft when nato was started and he was for he was saying you know why should we get involved in this alliance because then we lose the right to declare war we're giving it over to an organization that you had mike mansfield and the in the one nine hundred seventy s. under the nixon ford administrations he was heavily lobbying for ending american presence in europe because the war has been over there rich they can take care of themselves the reason why i'm bringing up this boring history for everyone is that where is the debate in the public

outside the united states, it's no calmer. the president is facing serious threats and d a miscalculation could lead to all-out war. i spoke to the secretary of defense, ash carter. >> secretary carter welcome to the program. >> good to be here. >> on the eve of president trump going to davos, they put out a global survey saying the risk of military conflict is rising and it will sharply rise in 2018. what do you make of that? does that sound right to you? >> the principal place that that may be true is on the korean peninsula, elsewhere there's danger, but it may be a continuation of the past. we may see -- it's not highly probable, but never rule it out, is an incident on the korean peninsula. particularly the north korean military, sort of a doctrine to lash out if provoked. it has been that way as long as i have been working. and therefore, whether it starts with an incident between the north and south, whether it starts between -- with an incident between north korea and the united states, there's always a possibility ther

the secretary of state rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state obviously and why why the attention here why giving so much attention to the united states is because the united states have been portraying themselves as one of the biggest kurdish kurdish friends from from almost the start of the syrian civil war they have been backing them they have been providing them with arms with training even with worldview with intelligence when it came to fighting i still and all the gains that the kurds that the kurds had all the territorial gains that the kurds made they will basically thanks to thanks to the united states russia and other major player in syria of course they have that's why russia i should say pin the blame on what's going in africa right now on the united states they have said america's actions in syria led to this have a listen. the main reason behind the developing crisis in this part of syria is the provocative steps taken by the united states which were aimed at isolating heiress with predominantly kurdish populations uncontrolled deliveries by the pentagon of more than weapons to pro-american formations in northern

when the united states grows, so does the world.rican prosperity has created countless jobs all around the globe, and the drive for excellence, creativity, and innovation in the u.s. has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier lives. as the united states pursues domestic reforms to unleash jobs and growth, we are also working to reform the international trading system so that it promotes broadly shared prosperity and rewards to those who play by the rules. we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. we support free trade, but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal, because in the end, unfair trade undermines us all. the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to unfair economic practices, including massive intellectual property theft, industrial subsidies, and pervasive state-led economic planning. these and other predatory behaviors are distorting the global markets and harming businesses and workers, not j

what about here in the united states? is that breakdown still about the same, about an 80/20 that we're not seeing the r&d in clean technology and development? >> i need to come back to you for that, madam chair, but worldwide it was a surprising result. >> yeah, it is. >> i thought when i read the interviews of the business leaders and so on, i thought it was the biggest part was coming from the industry and less from the public. but public was the main driver of the r&d in clean energy. >> it's very interesting. if you learn otherwise, and particularly on the u.s. side, i'd be curious to know about that. because that is -- that's not what typically we would think. you have referenced energy security many times. you know, we think about the security that comes with abundance of supply and how we can provide security that way. you've also referenced the electricfication that we're seeing around the world. you highlight increasing digitalization of power systems that can assist with levels of efficiency that i think is impo

not just mexico and the united states, but also canada, mexico and the united states. after nafta termination, that will dissipate. no question of that. so we are concerned about that. not to the same extent, because we aren't as directly affected. but we are concerned about a disipation of the strong relationship that has beld over the last 25 years between canada and -- or between mexico and the united states. the other point, dallas -- it i broader point -- what is the message to the rest of the world. if the united states can't get along with two neighbors, mexico and canada, and they have to destroy a trade agreement which has done tremendous positive results for all three countries, if they can't get together with their two neighbors, how are they going to be able to get together with other countries and other parts of the world. and carla made that point a little bit earlier on -- on a trade agreement with another country. how can you count on the united states? so i think there is -- there is that affect. the third point i'd make is on border management. one of

they are wards of the united states of america. 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 by a slim electoral col

he went on the senate floor and delivered a blistering attack on the president of the united states, also a republican, because of what the president has said about the news media here in the united states. listen. >> no longer can we compound the attacks on truth with our silent ak wee yes sense. no longer can we turn a blind eye or deaf ear to those assaults on our institutions. an american president who cannot take criticism, who must constantly distract and distort, who must find someone else to blame, is charting a very dangerous path. and a congress that fails to act as a check on the president adds to that danger. >> gloria, it was a very, very powerful speech. >> it was a powerful speech. it was something obviously that he's given now that he's not running for re-election, i might remind you. but i do think that he is trying to kind of zwrgin up some sense among republicans that's their obligation, as members of the president's party, to fight him when he does things like call the press the enemy of the people. we saw john mccain's op ed today in the "new york times" where he

when the united states grows, so does the world. the president will continue to promote fair economic competition and will make it clear that there cannot be free and open trade when countries are not held accountable to the rules. as the president has said repeatedly, america and is a ministration supports free and open trade, but it needs to be fair and reciprocal. we will now share a little bit about the president's schedule onhe desk and the economic general -- agenda and i landed off to general mcmasters -- general mcmaster. the president departs tomorrow evening and then arrives thursday morning local time in switzerland. on thursday will have a variety of meetings with world leaders and then quick meeting with the founder of the world economic forum. on thursday night, the world economic forum will hold a reception with world leaders to honor the president. ther on that night, president will host a small dinner with select european companies to share our economic success stories that encourage them to continue to invest in am

the united states can no longer in force dominance over the organizations the way they want to. re are states that will challenge them outside and nonstate actors that ignore those organizations and there are organizations the united states used to be depended upon which no longer do it in quite the same way so the reaction has been the response led to the institutions themselves but america's relationship to them and i have to say i'm sympathetic to that argument.

it has deep reach into the united states. ing about the physical structure what about the very nature of society that the united states want to live in. the wall as the president embraces it with his attacks on muslims and other communities, with his resentment towards nafta, excessively about creating a physical structure but creating barriers and divisions in one's mind and promoting politics of exclusion and bigotry, the very opposite of the american dream. [applause] >> thank you so much for being here today. we're hoping it's going to be an exciting panel, thoroughly public. it's been in the news all weeklong piccolo probably be in the news as debate gets going on all the different bills for a daca six of those of a lot of things that get intertwined here, and we're hoping that will shed some light on the deeper issues that underlying the discussion over the border wall or border security, and then we want to hear from you guys, what your concerns are, what your questions are. and hopefully the congressman will be able to

and that home is the united states of america. this is one of the great moral issues of our time and it is an issue that must be dealt with now as part of the budget negotiations. it cannot be kicked down the road any longer. we must pass the dream act now as part of the current budget negotiations. mr. president, in the last six years since the daca program was established, these young people, again people who were brought to this country as infants in many cases, were finally able to breathe al sigh of relief -- breathe a sigh of relief. for the first time in their lives, they could walk the streets of this country without fear, without worrying about being arrested, without worrying about being deported. think about what it means to live in this country every single day knowing that at any moment you could be arrested or deported. and what daca finally did is give these 800,000 young people a legal status and a protection that they could go out and work, they could go to school, and they can serve in the united states military w

the world. when united states grows, so does the world. the president will continue to promote their economic competition and will make it clear that there cannot be free trade if the countries are not held accountable to the rules. as the president said repeatedly, america and his administration support free and open trade but it is to be fair and reciprocal. we'll share about the present schedule and then i will hand it over to general mcmaster to discuss our national security priorities at the world economic forum. departs tomorrow evening. on thursday, he will have a meeting with schaub. the world economic forum will host a reception to honor the president. later at night, the president will host a small dinner with select european companies to share our economic success story and to encourage them to continue to invest in america. the attendees run companies that have sizable footprints in the united states. they have invested in our economy and we want them to continue to do so and encourage others to join them. the president looks f

investigators and prosecutors who carry out the department's highest priorities, protecting the united states from threats to our national security. i have been with the national security division since november of last year. previously from 1999 to 2008, i was an assistant united states attorney in the southern district of new york. from 2005 to 2008, i was co-chief of the terrorism and national security unit in the southern district of new york and some of the cases i worked on, of course, during that time included the investigation into the 9/11 attacks that occurred while i was assistant united states attorney in the organized crime and terrorism unit in the southern district of new york. i appreciate the opportunity to speak with you today about yesterday's release of the department of justice and department of homeland security section 11 report. the report titled after section 11 of president trump's executive order 13780 protecting the nation from terrorist entry into the united states was a collaborative effort between the doj and dhs to respond to eo 13780's directive to provide inf

the president of the united pred states as a president of the united states is the commander-in-chief of the state militia when called into the service of the united states. so, given that what we now call the national guard with a state national guard are descended from the state pushes which themselves will repurpose from the colonial militia convoy was the second amendment added a. it's not the right of the people but the collective. the right is about individual rights. it is not only what is in the constitution, the unequivocably the second amendment along with the other nine constituted the individual rights. so, i will read a bit from chapter one of which is a historical context of the second amendment. the anglo-american settlers violent break from britain in the 18th century paralleled their search and destroy annihilation of the mohawk shawnee and miami during which they slaughtered families without distinction of age or gender and expand the boundaries of the 13 colonies in the territories. the declaration of independence in 1776 symbolizes the beginning of the so-called in

and there's a lot of speculation going on right now that the united states is going to use american energy independence as a way of, sort of separating itself from the volatility of the region. - [narrator] in the united states, the low cost of oil is a mixed blessing. it means cheaper fuel and goods, but can increase consumption and hurt america's oil and gas sector. - [colgan] on the aggregate, low oil prices are a boon to the us economy. they're great for consumers; great for industry all around, except of course, for the oil producing sector. - [gerrard] i think low oil prices move jobs around. low oil prices mean that there is less oil production. there's certainly been a decline in oil field jobs in the united states since the decline in oil. it leads to lower gasoline prices which has the unfortunate effect of inducing people to buy larger cars and to drive more. - [narrator] at the geopolitical level, increased american production makes the us less reliant on imports. - [colgan] some people talk about energy independence, and that's a goal that doesn't necessarily make sense for th

and crucially, drugs and contraband and people being smuggled into the united states will go through l ports of entry which there are 52 already. the vast majority of the amount of drugs smuggled into the united states from mexico, that doesn't come by from mail comes through legal ports of entry. these ports of entries process millions of people cars, trucks, plan trains every week. not feasible to check all goods. even if improving the quality, speed and efficiency of searches at ports of enthery. crucial, far more important than any physical structure of entry. why not enhance u.s. security from criminal groups. security at the end of the day is far more dependent on good cooperation with mexico. mexico turns more undocumented central americans unfortunate people who come to the united states then what is turned the u.s. on a mexico border. it is hard to achieve and long time many people will be attempting to cross into the united states. similarly, corporation, securities against drug trafficking groups, criminal groups, very much depends on the united states finally being able to

the republicans are in majority control of the united states senate. the republicans are in majority control of the united states house of representatives. the republicans are in control of the white house. the republicans through their appointees have a pretty decisive edge when it comes to the united states supreme court. in other words, when you look across the spectrum, the three branches of government, the republicans are in control. what are they offering us? the fourth c.r. now, a c.r. is washington talk. it's a continuing resolution. what does it mean? it means that the republican majority has failed, failed in 119 days to produce a budget for the united states of america. the republican majority in the house and senate with their president have failed to come up with a blueprint for spending for this great nation that we serve and are proud to be part of. their fourth failure to produce a budget in this fiscal year which began october 1 is before us now. was it negotiated between the republicans and democrats? no. it was produced in the house o

during the american civil war, newport looms large in the story of the war between the states. the united states naval academy was established originally in maryland, annapolis. of course, maryland was not quite loyal to the union and not quite disloyal to the confederacy. the decision was made to move the naval academy from its location at annapolis, maryland, and break it up to newport, rhode island. they installed the midshipmen at the naval academy at the atlantic house hotel, which was located in central newport. the building is no longer there, but the legacy of the naval academy in newport during the civil war looms very large and understanding how the united states navy evolved. later on in the 1880's and 1890's, the mids at the academy during the civil war studied under instructors like stephen b loose, and alfred thayer mahan the word training midshipman at the academy. among the other protÉges, alfred thayer mahan is probably the most known. here we have a signed photograph of him, who unfortunately died in 1914 just as the first world war was developing. mahan is best-known fo

when we do this, a lot of manufacturers will be coming to the united states to build washing machines and also solar. for both solar and washing machines, these executive actions uphold the principle of fair trade and demonstrate to the world that the united states will not be taken advantage of anymore. our companies will not be taken advantage of anymore. and our workers are going to have lots of really great jobs with products that are going to be made in the good old usa. and that's what this is all about. so i'm going to start signing. we'll go here first. this is to facilitate positive adjustment to competition from imports of large residential washers and washing machines, etc. thank you it's a very big industry, and you're going to have a lot of plants built in the united states. that were thinking of coming but would have never come unless we did this. big industry. a lot bigger than people would understand. and this is similar, but this is for solar products. so that we'll be making solar products now much more so in the united states. our companies have been decimated, and
