i bring greetings from the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [applause] in his inaugural address to the nation be, president trump proclaimed that the united states stands, in his words, at the birth of a new millenium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space. and since day one of our administration, this president has kept his promise to restore america's proud legacy of leadership in space. believing that space is essential to our nation's security, prosperity and our very way of life. last year after it had lain dormant for nearly a quarter century, president trump revived the national space council to reinvigorate and coordinate space activities across our government. it's my great honor as vice president to serve as the chairman of the national space council, and i'm pleased to report that president trump has already sign three new space policy direct i haves -- direct is to reorient toward human exploration, unleash america's burgeoning commercial space companies and safeguard our vital space assets with new space traffic management policy.

it centers the united states or the idea of the united states being a welcoming haven for people who are exiles. unfortunately, the history of the united states tells a somewhat different, more complicated story. the truth is, we have not always had the humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually, we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. usually, we have been more inclined to reject refugees. to borrow the words of historian eric tang, often refugees who have been accepted for resettlement are not only resettled, there also deeply unsettled by the experience. to give you an overview, i will give you a little background about american refugee resettlement policy after the second world war. i'm going to use that background to set up why the 1970's were such an important. of change. that is when a small group of ugandan refugees arrived in the united states and they were followed by a larger group of refugees, southeast asian refugees, who are described as indochinese refugees, including those from vietnam, laos, cambodia. i will talk about the crisis

we have an oil reserve in the united states. you can imagine every six months they have turned the server. the problem is the average chinese base 40% of their disposable income for food. in the united states we spend 11%. so slight increases in food prices create instability in china and that is why they did this. the chinese have learned it was better to buy the coal mine. they come by all the pork they want on the commodities market, but they chose to buy this company. not only did they get this company, but they got all of the technology, the genetics, all kinds of very sophisticated technology that this company originally got from the department of agriculture on our tax dollars, which the chinese have it. the real problem is the pork is now coming back into the united state with the smithfield label. and so, you have no idea what you're really eating. we have a lot in the united states called for cool law and there are 18 exemptions. so you go when to paris and you want to buy pork, you look at the package you might say pac

and i think across the world, people are recognising that the united states is behaving in a dangerouslar, using financial institutions as weapons, and this is something we're now seeing being used against turkey and that's going to continually isolate the united states. of course, the united states is still a very important power, but what i'm saying is the world is changing as well. iran will not be able to change its foreign policy because iran's policy in syria and iran is what prevented isis from coming into iran. not only did iran stop the extremists that western governments helped create with the saudis, look at the intelligence agency document of 2012. the most important military intelligence organisation in the world, the pentagon, stated from early on in syria the dominant militant forces were the extremists and they would create a salafist entity between syria and iraq. and the regional regimes that were allied to the united states were supporting this. and then general flynn later on in an interview admitted... he was the head of that organisation, he admitted the united st

it was certainly beneficial for the united states. that's why i regret that over the last year or so there have been attacks on that system, but still the system of globalization shouldn't be described as international socialism. quite the opposite. it's the spread of capitalist institution to much of the world. china into integrating itself into the economic system discarded some elements of its socialist economy. it still is a communist dictatorship but it has increasingly taken on elements of capitalism. so it's the opposite, i think, of what you were describing. >> elizabeth cobbs? >> i would respectfully disagree with that too, although i absolutely empathize with this worry, this concern that for decades upon decades, your whole life american soldiers having dying in various places. the interesting thing about that is that number has declined, so as bad as it is, that 24-hour news cycle which keeps reminding us of the terrible things that are happening tends to overlook that longer-term trend, and that trend has been made positiv

going to also the united states would like to. decision but we can continue to schools energy but as the austrian president from the villains said great. is that ellen g.'s only a moment and the prices are high but actually because you negotiate a long term contract with russia to receive gas you get the gas well below the price which is why also you have this water but it's almost impossible to have it to contradiction in order to make what you have to create a high revenue stream which makes for a stronger signal for you to burst but if you try to which you also have relations with that run poorly run do you push your prices or should the position of the countries that you are well start to suspicious of strong and also you make their boutique. to customs. more attractive so it actually is not a very clear since you do not get. to. get in or tell me go back to change gears and i talk a little bit about nato you know ever since the end of the in the advent of the cold war in the warsaw pact we've had nato when the soviet union cam

the united states has never ever supported the p.k. k. when the when isis invaded syria it attacked the kurds the kurds did not attack isis and when the kurds asked for help turkey declined the us agreed to help and now isis has been largely defeated secondly this is actually about the relationship for years turkey has used the most abusive language about the united states and about its about its leaders president obama was accused of direct knowledge of the attempted coup in two thousand and sixteen the government in turkey has used the most abusive language against the united states and i think it's the united states that deserves a little respect here this is a bounded problem it can be solved it doesn't need to escalate beyond this and turkey and the united states have a lot of common interest in that region they could cooperate on if we can move past this point and a lot of that the fans upon the turkish willingness to put its economic common sense and its political flexibility ahead of nationalism. it does feel though. if you look a

it would be clear to the whole world where the united states stood and that was alongside and wedded to britain. if the president's plan was approved and funded by congress, the united states would become the unquestioned leader of the democratic forces in the war that was taking place between two world, the criminal world of the nazi gangsters and the enlightenment world of john locke, edmund burke, george washington, james madison, thomas jefferson and alexander hamilton. fdr returned to washington on december 16th. in the next day, he held one of his most memorable press conferences. as usual, he began by casually saying that he didn't have any particular news. and then he said there was one small item he could mention. he told the reporters that it was becoming all too clear that the u.s. needed to do everything it could to help the british empire defend itself and that meant supplying britain with more material. one reporter asked about payment and then fdr gave his famous reply, now when i'm trying to do is eliminate the dollar sign, the silly old foolish dollar sign. here's an

and land in the united states. landing rights are governed by open skies agreements between united dates and the european union. it is not with the -- u.k.. unless we work something out, no planes can land in the united states under the open skies agreement. we clear trillions and trillions of dollars of financial transactions between united states and london, york and london under swift electronic systems. that is a treaty between united states and the eu. in the absence of being a member of the eu, all those treaties cease to apply to the u.k. absolute chaos if we can't figure out -- everybody cannot figure out some way to deal with it. what happened so far? there are four basic elements of how the brexit process is supposed to go. you are supposed to have a withdrawal agreement that is arranging for the divorce between the u.k. and eu, how much money does the u.k. have to continue to pay into the eu? the eu's view is you voted on all of these eu long projects. you can't come into the bar and walk out the door bef

but then the united states army araves. increasingly attempting to assert its authority, its sovereignty. the result is a war between the united states and the ogallala lakota that last from 1866 to 1867. as red cloud and other leaders like him face the entire might of the united states army. and at first, the indians are winning. and this should be no surprise to you. this is land that they know, land where they have lived, they're better organized, they're certainly better motivated than the united states army, and thef much better local knowledge, this is very much like the circumstances i've described in the '90s, as the recent recently reorganized by the constitution. as we came into contact to the threat they saw. and the united states suffered a series of initial defeats. bless you. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. only to reorganize, devote new resources, and eventually mobile ides all the authority of the federal government to achieve victory. and that's eventually what happens to red cloud. in the same way that the

we were at our peak of apartheid withhe only difference south africa and the united statesas our mandela was assassinated. said thatsomeone who amnesia andtates of the way in which we do history, period washat hmerica's is enough -- zenitc into its apartheid. guest: the united states has been a deeply racist society, not only with a lengthy history with slavery but with 100 years with racial segregation and institutionalized racism in the united states. johnson, who in 1968 decided not to run for reelection, he deserves immense credit for his instrumental role in getting past the civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965, which i would largely agree with you, until that time, you could argue that the united states had a kind of apartheid system. but came to an end at least legally at that point. there continued to be problems with racism and continued to be thatis day, but i think you shouldn't underestimate the crucial role that lyndon johnson played. there might have been no other president who could have done that, because the other credibility as a southerner and he had

say the united states and say you that same you can manufacture and you do tens of billions of dollars worth of business in the u.s. well that business could potentially be penalized we haven't seen the e.u. blocking start to it ever fully interacted we don't know how it's going to be received but certainly potentially illegal headache for some people far smarter than myself right now to be going through that however in response to this news from the european union there's been a warm reception from tehran today the entire world has shown it disagrees with the u.s. policies against iran talk to anyone anywhere in the world and they will tell you that netanyahu trump and been some manner isolated not iran well the u.s. secretary of state might pompei i disagree strongly with that he says that the sanctions and needed against iran to bring them back to what he calls the table of normal nations they've got to behave like a normal country that's the ask is pretty simple we think that most other countries everyone with whom i spoke who understand that they need to behave normally and they u

here in the united states, we were at our peak of apartheid. the only difference with south africa and the united states is mandela was assassinated. there was someone who said the united states has an amnesia in the way we do history. was america's -- >> let me take issue with that. the united states has been a deeply racist society, not only with a lengthy history but also racial segregation and institutionalized racism. i think lyndon johnson decided not to run for reelection. he deserves immense credit for his role in getting past the civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965. i would agree, until that time, the united states had kind of an apartheid system. it came to an end at that point. i think you should not underestimate the role that johnson played. there may have been no other president but could have done that. he had the credibility as a southerner and a hugely positive relationship with the key figures in the u.s. >> i agree the height of segregation was terrible. the critical difference between the u.s. and south africa is the un

to the united states. to france to italy. during our travels we stablish to this unprecedented amount that regarding the transfers of priests involved in cases of that ophelia. deck a man sits in dig. that up with his off by a few that must give on that it was the one that got into a bang up stakes i mean that and the victims number tens of thousands marked with scars for the rest of their lives. our investigations would lead us all the way to pope francis who revealed how when he was charged. issue one a series he tried to influence the argentine justice department. to sunday the. list was these and these and he kept the gas. investigated the mysteries of the church where on the altar of truth god's law seems to prevail over that of a myth. our inquiry into the international transfers of priests accused of pedophilia begins in the united states. where in chicago in the shadow of this cathedral two would disappear a unique kind of protest. or it's you know it's not all are victims of pedophile priests. in their hands portraits

states. and this is the second bank of the united states because, as you recall, from earlier in the semester, there was a first bank of the united states. 1791, alexander hamilton pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank, a private bank with stockholders and dividends. this bank, hamilton says, will benefit not only financial -- private financial interests but will benefit the country, the public. how will it benefit the public? because the treasury, the u.s. treasury, will deposit money in the bank, money coming in from taxes and the treasury can also borrow money from the bank. this bank has a 20-year charter but it has lots of opponents. you remember that chief opponent, thomas jefferson, hates the bank. the bank, jefferson believes, is an institution that imperils american liberty by elevating to power a nonproductive elite. jefferson comes to power in 1800. so does his authority. that first bank, the charter expires in 1811, but one year later a war erupts with britain. that war is a very expensive war. the national government finds itself in tremendous fiscal stra

an asylum claim within the united states. ple in the second category, those that are within the united states going to the refugee determination processes there, they are at risk. and the reason is for the policies you've made. for example, those that will be denied on the spot simba because their claim is situated within gang violence -- simply -- or it is revolving around a gender-based persecution. so for those people they will not be provided the same kind of protection that it would be expected to be provided here in canada i can give you very real example. there's woman and her sexual old daughter who fled guatemala to escape her abusive husband. on arrival in u.s., they were separated, primly prosecuted for illegal entry. her daughter was taken to a facility for unaccompanied minors. after five months in detention, she was deported back to guatemala where she is hiding from her abuser, and her daughter has since been released a family member in the united states and is pursuing her refugee claim alone. i think this exam

for the first time since the end of the cold war united states is engaged in a geopolitical competition for the adversary. 1991 no other nation on earth can ary project power of the united states until now. unlike our country one that leads with victimhood but also to believe they have a preordained destiny. this is what they mean when they constantly use the phrase of historical determinism. they say they are predestined to be the world's most powerful country therefore they believe they are predestined to surpass the united states i mean geopolitically and economically and militarily. this is not a new ambition by the way but for two decades they have followed a strategy called biding their time but that change last year in october as a president for life laid out a vision for china and a very clear nationalist terms. that's mighty invincible force and infinitely vast age of our historical heritage and we have arrived at a new era china is in a leading position of economic and technological strength and defense capabilities and national strength in the military to fight and win. you c

we are just talking about the united states. sometimes countries follow the united states. we're talking about schools, the real history. why do we have these issues in the united states? who was thomas jefferson? why do we still have after generations of institutionalized racism, you have to know why. educate people as to why we have this divide. just a black problem, it's a national problem. education starts in the home. stereotypes, understanding that when police shoots a black boy a the back, it's not just humanity issue. we have to talk about humanity. yearr: the rally last began because of conversations around removing confederate statues in the united states. that statute still stands. what does that tell you? has that been lost? >> we have to rethink our history. you have to keep something next to that that represents all other people. a statue of frederick douglass, for example. we have to make a balance. going to stay, let's do something that educates the public about the history. these people revere these confederates. they were treasonous when you look at it. i t

in terms of investment in the united states arms sales a whole range of things that in particular the saudi crown prince promised when he came to washington he was in the united states for a three week visit he promised a whole slew of things that he has not delivered on so i think in part you see president trying trying to turn up the heat on our allies in saudi arabia and in the emirates that you know that they're not the only game in town the united states could at a moment's notice pivot and meet with someone like president rouhani that we don't need the saudis we're not dependent on them so i think that is in part really part of the strategy. that trump is pursuing. all right the u.s. reportedly plans to create a new security and political alliance with six gulf arab states egypt and jordan it will be known as the middle east region alliance an organization similar to nato that's made up of sunni muslim allies its main job will be in part to counter iran's influence in the region and to increase cooperation on missile defense military training counterterrorism and developing

indians remained in the united states. they were forcibly removed to areas where the federal government wanted them to live and they were supposed to occupy a status estimate -- domestic dependence but not fully emancipated citizens. this is hardly a happy story. i get to begin with a delightfully unhappy story. welcome back from break. this is just what you needed to hear but i actually think the story is important to set it in context. in the west, we see the federal government holding true to one of its founding principles to establish federal sovereignty. that is with the government is supposed to do. establish sovereignty over the land it claims but to establish and preserve racial supremacy. that was a long tradition of the federal government in the west. in the east, the southeast and before that we considered how the federal government explored with racial equality during the reconstruction. unable to convert that into reality this is not with the federal government have been created to do. it was not created to pro

know if you heard this but chancellor merkel said the other day you're of can no longer rely on the united states in order to protect itself and i would argue that the more pressing. question right now is whether you're of can really take it for granted that the united states will not lash out at europe economically do you think this rad of secondary sanctions is real do you think. the united states could convict full force against european countries if they decide to continue trading with iran provided of course if iran is in compliance with the. so the threat of secondary sanctions is very rule real basically this idea that you know if you're a non us company you've got to choose do you want to do business with iran or do you want to do business with the united states and for most companies that's going to be an easy choice and for most companies the threat is sufficient the u.s. doesn't really have to do much in force meant in order to get a lot of big companies to say you know what this isn't worth the risk but european governments do have tools available to them to seek to counter the second

with regard to military you know the military might in the region etc look it's easy to blame the united states for everything but the reality is the iranian government is not taking care of its people the united states government is not the threat that iran needs to worry about its own people just look at what we're seeing they're out on the streets in iran they're tired of their government they're tired of corruption they're tired of iran sending more money to create mr for around the world to their own than their own people the president of the united states has made it clear that even he loves the iranian people we in america want good relations with the people but it's the government that needs to be held accountable it's the government in iran that needs to be held responsible for its own actions when i say in reality they have been eleven and consecutive reports by the nuclear agency and all of them said that iran was complying so if you are now any other country in the world and if you are north korea for example and you're looking at what is happening why would you even negotiate with

rubio: madam president, this -- we are now halfway through my eighth year in the united states senate and in my time year, i have never once spoken against, voted against, or opposed in any way any of the national defense authorization acts that have come before the senate. and the reason being that despite whatever flaws one might find on most owequations in any -- occasions in any piece of legislation, the defense of our country is the fundamentallologies of our federal government. -- fundamental obligation of our federal government. it comes before anything else. state governments run schools and build roads and do all sorts of activities at the state level. communities do all sorts of things at the local level. but nothing is more important than the defense of our country in terms of a federal obligation. and so i had never opposed an ndaa, and i have supported every single one of them, despite the fact that they didn't have everything i wanted or everything i liked -- until today. there is a lot of good in this legislation, and it makes it difficult to be an opponent of it. for f

the war was also great for the news business in the united states. evening papers could take advantage of the six-hour time difference and have that day's war news ready for readers when they left work, get in the streetcars, and went home. -- newsboysotograph in obama city. in -- newsboys in oklahoma city. this is "the saturday evening post" advertising the sachsen automobile. if you look really closely, you might think that is the white house. if you look even more closely, that could be president woodrow wilson driving the car, driving the automobile in a stately fashion toward a brighter and more prosperous future. the other thing i find erotic -- about ironic is talk sachsen supremacy, referring to the automobile. but of course, wilson was also a believer in anglo-saxon supremacy. he introduced jim crow into the government. this gets at what i wanted to talk about it today in terms of who's democracy is it. propelled african-americans for the first time, in a big way, out of the south. this was the beginning of the big migration. there was all th

and the regional regimes that were allied to the united states we re were allied to the united states then general flynn later on in an interview admitted he was the head of the organisation and he admitted the united states took a wilful decision to help its regional allies do this. what was the group that later made a regime between syria and iraq? it was isis. the united states helped the extremists. how can you stand back and allow syria or damascus have the black flags rise of them? you may make that point, i'm more interested in what this means for iran. there's no question, it's quite obvious that iran's strategic commitment to the support of the assad government and its own military presence in syria is long—term but it is also extremely expensive, one of the most respected experts on middle east politics and diplomacy, nadeem jihadi, he reckons that it could have already cost iran up to 100 billion us dollars. all of its military and political commitment to the assad government since the war started. add to that the billion dollars or so every year that tehran spends on hezbo

the united states has never ever supported the p.k. k. when the when isis invaded syria it attacked the kurds the kurds did not attack isis and when the kurds asked for help turkey declined the us agreed to help and now isis has been largely defeated secondly this is actually about the relationship for years turkey has used the most abusive language about the united states and about its about its leaders president obama was accused of direct knowledge of the attempted coup in two thousand and sixteen the government in turkey has used the most abusive language against the united states and i think it's the united states that deserves a little respect here this is a bounded problem it can be solved it doesn't need to escalate beyond this and turkey and the united states have a lot of common interest in that region they could cooperate on if we can move past this point and a lot of that the fans upon the turkish willingness to put its economic common sense and its political flexibility ahead of nationalism. it does feel that. if you look at

the day after the united states reimposed nuclear sanctions against iran the foreign minister of another sanctioned country sat down with leaders into iran. north korea's foreign minister really young ho met iranian leaders in an effort to improve ties the timing of this visit is likely no coincidence iran wants america to know it has friends everywhere in a televised interview on monday night iran's president admonished america praised his european allies and asked his people for a little more time to fix the country's economy and that of the state of the unit to have him stand and we need more solidarity we should be more united i'm telling my dear people god willing with your help we will get through this problem he mentioned china and russia several times a signal that iran intends to continue its pivot toward strategic economic partners to cope with yet more american economic pressure. and with the latest comments by the european foreign policy chief perhaps there is a reason for iranians to be optimistic. we in the european union. they don't. very much up to date. with this this is

today, he lies in the place where he served to the last, the congress of the united states. soon, he will to rest on the grounds where he served first, the united states naval academy. the eyes of the american people will be upon him as he goes. and so, too, will their prayers for him and especially for his beloved family gathered here today. and we will pray that those who mourn shall be comforted. so we mourn with those who mourn and we grieve with those who grieve, but we do not grieve like those who have no hope, because john mccain, like millions of americans, held firm to that hope from an old hymn that became the title of a book he wrote some 20 years ago, "faith of our fathers." the full stanza of that hymn reads, "faith of our fathers living still in spite of dungeon, fire, and sword. o, how our hearts beat high with joy whenever we hear that glorious word." john mccain held firm to that faith, the faith of his fathers, through dungeons, fire, and sword. and he held fast to his faith in america, through six decades of service. we gather here today to honor an america

he argues against the united states giving favorable terms to capital investments outside of the unitedstates. he is trying to figure out mechanisms by which money has to be maintained within the united states. when dwight eisenhower decides that he is going to run for the presidency, eisenhower explicitly -- the economic messages. that taft has laid out. he explicitly says the united states will have to enable a global economy that will show prosperity for countries around the world of where going to create a secure, stable environment for the united states as people. and the peoples around the world. taft is infuriated by this speech. and explicitly goes out in front of newspaper reporters and says, he is putting foreigners ahead of americans. he does not use the phrase america first but is implicit, and saying that. of time. now, most republicans are divided over this issue. and as the cold war heats up, by 1940s evan, big votes have to come into play were senators and members of the house have to explicitly vote on support for the new internationalism that is both run the ideal of t

it had nothing to do with china, just to hurt the united states. they have been conducting espionage for years. they're just look a lot like our jets in our military. and now they are just outright buying our technology. the don't have to steal it so much anymore, especially if you have smaller companies with critical breakthroughs in artificial intelligence or quantum computing. this legislation allows us to recognize those threats for what they are and stop china from buying our most critical technology, that we need to maintain is the worlds latest superpower. i thank all my peers around the ande and secretary mnuchin everyone on the committee on foreign investment, to take a very tough look at everything china is doing to the united states. president trump: we put it 50 -- 850 billion dollar number out there, the total is $250 million. and there's a 25% tax on that now, coming in. that economically also helps us. this is very different, but it also helps us. people say it is ours having a big effect. we are collecting that money. it is a lot of

china knows exactly where it's trying to put the most of acute pressure on the united states. because of the trade imbalance china and the united states cannot go tit for tat dollar for dollar. because of the negotiations happening between mexico and the united states, i believe they are look at cars and auto parts as a way to try and really utilize this opportunity in time as a point of leverage. we'll see what happens with the mexico-united states negotiations. this isn't just nafta. it's just mexico and the united states. we'll see if an agreement can emerge this week. adam: let me ask you, is the administration, if we were to do the bilateral deal and not do something with canada, are we picking winners and losers. i have good friends who produce steel in ohio that's used by toyota in kentucky. are we picking beginners and losers -- picking winners and losers if we leave out canada? >> this is fulfilling a campaign promise when it comes to manufacturing jobs. with mexico paying their workers $3 an hour to build auto parts, we are saying we have to have an agreement where th

the war. they reshape the state department it coincided with a appreciation of the threat that western europe and the united states faced. how to rebuild the economies of western europe and head off the threat posed by indigenous communist parties. rebuild germany, the engine potentially of prosperity. the u.s. military governor noted that there is no choice to being a communist on 1500 calories a day and a believer in democracy on just 1000. clay's famous report on germany repudiated once and for all dependents of the morgantown parent -- the plan and laid the ground for what marshall would put together for the marshall plan. they focus more on economic growth as the fundamental aces for democracy. a much clearer and more constructive u.s. policy emerged in 1947. secretary marshall, two considerations were paramount. firstly, as a breaded kernel at the end of world war i, he had seen the united states with draw after that conflict. inadvertently helping turn marshall's prediction into reality. marshall looked on in display and after world war i the u.s. army was drawn down and marshall's constant refrain t

it centers the united states or the idea of the united states being a welcomed haven for people who were exiled. unfortunately, the history of the united states tells a somewhat different, more complicated story. alwaysth is, we have not had a humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. , we are more inclined to actually reject refugees than to accept them. and to brawl the words of -- borroweric king the words of historian eric king, refugees who have been accepted are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of forced migration. -- migration and resettlement in the united states. to give you an overview of what i will talk about today, i will give you a little background about american refugee resettlement policy after the second war. going to use that background to set up why the 1970's were such an important period of change. the ugandan asian refugees first arrived in united states and they were followed by an even larger group of refugees, southeast asian refugees who are describ

has had a hand in in terms of the united states involvement south of the border. but these kinds of actions that the united states have been involved in have been relatively invisible to many americans. therefore, i think many americans don't feel they do have any obligation to these particular immigrants. so, therefore, it's aerzieasier behave towards them in an inhumane fashion. >> let's go back to these children. the united states says it's trying to place many of them with family members if there are people who are known to the children if possible, or else they go into some sort of state control, so to speak. but all obligations end once these kids are put in sponsored units. what happened to you, just the emotion of being separated from your family or being put in a sponsored family who treated you well, but nonetheless it was not your family? >> now i'm the father of a 4-year-old. i was 4 years old when i was separated from my parents. so i can see through him what had happened to me. i certainly remember at 4 years old this was a traumatic experience. when

it is not simply the united states, nato. it is the civilized world that has not quite figured out how to balance the protection of our freedoms, the openness we treasure, and at the same time, keep out those who choose to exploit us. host: from rhode island, republican line, jack. caller: good morning, sir. concerningg u.s.-nato relations. they have improved. nato is putting more money into the kitty. by ancestry german nation. they have not put in more. they really played the united states well. if you look at the german economy, it is strong. normally, it is strong all the time. is in aan economy surplus. they should be putting in more money, along with some of the other countries to carry the load. the lady is right concerning china. our number one should she get adversary -- one strategic adversary. they are to replace the united states as the number one power in the world. host: gotcha. mr. singh? guest: i do not have much to disagree with you, jack. i would think germany should and could spend more on defense. defense s

support that they insurgence against the syrian government it backfired terribly because what did the united states want to do from their point of view of the interest of the united states they wanted to take a small regime which was basically not anti american but which kind of brought peace to be syrian regime what was their net result they lost in march more important ally turkey in the process and they failed to all of the syrian regime but i just want to return very quickly to this very important detail about the magnitsky act let us remind our listeners and all of us what it came from you know in two thousand and twelve the united states' support that a rogue businessman bill browder. you know he's a lawyer a dyed in the russian prison and brawled it turned it again. there's a even dole there is an excellent documentary. going out on the internet on you tube but you have to look for it because browder and his people having it taken down left it just a few watts you know bro they came to russia in the nineteen ninety s. with four to six media is money he left russia in two thousand and five wi

that there will be increased pressure on the saudi led coalition and others including the united states and the united kingdom will get back to that in the second to bring an end to the fighting in yemen he certainly did not need me names he said that the international community had to stop providing weapons to do is engage in the conflict in yemen not naming names means not mentioning go around who we know are supplying them with us and not mentioning the united states and the united kingdom who are backing the saudi led coalition and it'll be interesting in a couple of hours james mattis who is the u.s. defense secretary has a very real briefing at the pentagon on camera and me will be asked about what is going on here but i says i think there are those who know that this report will put pressure on everyone to try and bring an end to the fighting but also pressure on both sides as you look ahead to u.n. sponsored peace talks about yemen starting on september the six all right let's. thank you for that update from djibouti and i will take all of this on with that mohamed jamal he's a

richard nixon had been the president to make the policy of the united states. before watergate, this is what many americans know about his presidency. they believed that he was trying to rebuild the strength of the united states overseas that had been weakened as a result of the terminal of the 60s. to secure u.s. influence in the post 1960 her, nixon had been convinced that he would need to make a series of dramatic moves like bringing the war in vietnam to a total and and sawing relations with the soviet union in china. because of his strong political standing with conservatives, nixon believed he could do this, that he could open up relationships with the communist without suffering politically here at home. the individual who missed eloquently -- most eloquently articulated the concept was his national security adviser, henry kissinger. the first component involved a series of high-level arms agreements with the soviet union that produced the agreement. on may 26, 1972. this was a deal with the soviet union that was negotiated with the later who had been a p

a lira crisis, an economic crisis, and a crisis in relations between the united states and turkey thathe two leaders have connected. president trump's tweet, which seemed gratuitous, has provided president erdogan of turkey an opportunity to blame the united states for turkey's economic ills. >> and just take us through where erdogan is right now. steve, this is a guy who came in, people thought he was a reformer, he wanted to join the european union. at this point he seems to have turned into an authoritarian. is turkey -- what is the trajectory for turkey? >> you wrote the book about i will -- about illiberal democracies. there was a lot of hope that turkey would join the european union at least by now. turkey is really an elected autocracy. it really is one of the most repressive countries in its immediate region. and its immediate region includes a number of tough countries including places like egypt, iraq, iran. turkey holds tens of thousands of political prisoners, has engaged in a widespread purge and crackdown on opponents, real and imagined. and president erdogan has engineer

that china and india didn't have to participate here and the united states did. and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a lot of that technology that has the ability to change china and india's practices was going to come from the united states, and if we affect our -- if we affect our economy, and you think about the -- i mean the -- i don't know whether it's billions or tens of billions of dollars it was going to cost the united states to participate in this going forward, when you consider the impact that the paris agreement could have had on the united states economy. and the president said you know what? how about you just judge us on what we do? how about you just judge us on the fact that we're lowering our emissions and nobody else is? when i go to -- when i go to rome in april of 2017, sitting down with my counterparts in the g-7, and we weren't out of the paris accord by that particular point in time, but it was pretty clear that the president was talking about it. and they got up and gave very strong impassioned pleas about the united

let me get your reaction to the president warning of violence here in the united states if the republicanse the majority in the house. >> well, it is cause for serious concern when the president of the united states is predicting violence as the result of a free election in this country. our constitution provides for peaceful transition as a result of elections. and, you know, i was chief of staff to bill clinton when he lost both the house and the senate in a midterm election. but he ultimately came back to work with the speaker, speaker gingrich to be able to get things done. i think this president has to be willing to accept the will of the american people when it comes to an election and stop threatening the american people that somehow violence will be the result. >> it's pretty shocking when you hear those kinds of words. you correctly point out from the president of the united states. let's move on. if you could, look at it's developments from your per spikttive as a former white house chief staff to president clinton, would replacing jeff sessions as attorney general of the united

why does it matter to the united states? a lot to the united the u.k. is the single largest investor in the united states and the united states is the largest investor in the u.k. the issue to think about for brexit is huge numbers of u.s. companies invested in the u.k. why? because they want access to the european union market. ford, gm, etc., lots of companies have facilities in the u.k., but they are not expecting to sell very many goods and u.k.. they are except -- expecting to sell into the eu. right now, that works really fine because what is the european union fundamentally? it is called a single market, which means there is free movement. absolutely free. no checking, no money, no anything. of goods, free movement of services, free movement of capital, and free movement of people. that is inherently that european single market. longern the u.k. is no part of the single market, there can be no free movement of goods, services, people, or capital. , when it goes over to the eu from the u.k., it may have to pay the tariff that is 10%. it may have to

we have a terrible problem in the united states with the consumption of drugs. roblem, we need to solve it in the united states and not blame it on mexico. >> tucker: i want to be rational about this but i would save a couple things. i don't believe it's just some legislator in an obscure mexican state, i think the new mexican president has set out loud and on camera that he's open to this idea. i think that is right, correct me if i'm wrong. also marijuana is not heroin, heroin has a demonstrated ability to override free will. at some point you do not choose to do heroin, you are physically addicted to it. there is a quantum difference. and it's also deadly, 50,000 i people dying every year as a crisis. more people died of drug overdoses this year at -- >> it's part of mental health. i totally agree it's terrible. >> tucker: why shouldn't we consider it an act of t aggression, an act of war, for the country that is the primary -- and no one else comes close -- supplier of this deadly drug into our country to consider making it easier to bring that truck here? wh

the same number of dollars come into the united states equals the amount of dollars leaving the united states. just americans like to consume a lot. the use the common is very attractive place for investment trimer president trump is very focused on the trade deficit near the top of his remarks yesterday talking about the 4.1% gdp growth in the second quarter of this year. he took some time to talk about the trade deficit. here's what he had to say. >> the trade deficit, very due to my heart because we had been ripped off by the world, has dropped by more than $50 billion. 52 billion to be exact. it's a dropped by more than 50. think of that, the trade deficit has dropped by more than $50 billion, and that's added, and adding, 1.2 gdp. that's a tremendous drop it we haven't had a dropped like that in long time. you have to go back a long time before you find it. >> host: to questions from the. what do you attribute that dropped you, and is the the president focus on that number misplaced? >> guest: well, so the trade deficit, if you look over time it bounces around but general it has b

the united states drawn into the war from isolationist view of the world had 3 goals, we wanted to win in europe, pivot defeat of japan and come home. now, that was why the united states favored crossing the english channel and crossing north western europe and into german and they called the strategy, the goal of the strategy was achieving direct military result which is how they contrast as the british strategy to fdr, suddenly promo -- prominently, the world view, politics was changing and adapting to how they saw the national security needs of the united states and post world war and they were begin to go -- beginning to accept and adjust to that so that by november, third goal coming home was going to get dropped and they embraced a long-term position of the united states as part of world security which is true for our day. going forward, the allies need today agree on a goal, they needed a strategy, they needed to concentration of force and commander. none of that had been agreed. moving closer and closer to share the strategy debate was a separate issue. the rupture of american
