to why don't you support and educate people off any political persuasion because we we want to unite people with the same values with the same ideas and it's very important because a today they have all like lego for florida's but they want changes not only in the district not only in more school they want changes for russia. to more room there will be united in the political party that you share into saying well yes and it's very important for us but people who support cushion and people who support you may actually have the same values in having the rule for him having local in gage meant in having. you know corruption compay in but why did you give all i've been it's impossible. because. i count most people supporting who put two will be members of our political party well here i am with the example just as i told you before the beginning of this program i recorded it into your monitoring program but i'm more or less pushing but i do believe and i think i've been to some of the training that your party has organized a list of those you're exceptional no no not at all there are a lot of p

point of view from france at roughly the same time, where the revolutionaries talked about the people was a united front, and democracy is the expression of the people. we need to identify the general will of the people as coherent and united conception of a nation. so, of you look at these two polls, france represents the paradigm of a nation state in the revolution, and the united states represents something different. now, we talk about it as a republic but what was he imagining? well, the images of the state at that time were not very wide. there is, of course, the idea of the empire. that was the dominant view of the state at the time, an empire. jefferson called his vision of the united states an empire of liberty, and when the united states acquired the louisiana purchase, jefferson didn't seem to care if the new territories were organized within the united states or they were organized aspirate states so long as they were republics. he envisioned an empire on the continent, not necessarily a nation state, with a united people. now, of course, they talk more about union. union was the idea.

it's not we the people of the government of the united states of america. all these paid issues that come that they had conflict with, what they call a special election for the people of the united states of america, let them vote on these issues. it takes taxpayer dollars to .upport their agendas also, going into health care, previous health care had put us out of business. they had raised their health $1873 a1800 -- two month, with a $500 deductible. we are looking for work. it's like the gentleman was talking about, if the president gets four years, two terms, so should everybody else. >> jim, you are in kentucky. what do you think about what rand paul has been doing? paul and every democrat and republicans, every woman across the board, it's a shame that our government is on a different plan than the american people. why can't they be on the same as everybody else? there's so many people that have to make a decision before they can pay a power bill or utility bill. they barely can get by with our government like the last gentleman says, excuse me. they v

legal in america on a two year renewable basis. 780,000 young people had signed up for president obama's daca program and all across the united states these are people, young people, brought to the united states by their parents in a very early age and they were going to be given a chance to stay here two years at a time and not be deported and able to legally work. who are these young people? 91% of them are currently in school or working and we know as well 20000 of them have graduated from college and are teaching inls our schools, great schools, high schools and we know that 900 of them even though they are undocumented volunteered to serve in the united states military and are currently in uniform willing to risk their lives for this country that has not accepted them as citizens. the list goes on and there are premed students and in first responder'r status and they're doing extraordinary things but president trump announced last september 5th that allow them to stay in the united states was coming to an end when -- in three weeks. march 5, this year. what happened if congress fails to do anything for march 5th. if we f

and it was expressly designed to exclude certain people from around the world from entering the united states of america. it is a notorious piece of legislation and those who were to be excluded excluded from america included people from italy,te eastern europe, japan, asia and jewish people. that was the immigration policy of united states of america because of that bill in 1924. that's the last time this chamber has made t such a dramac cut in legal immigration to america and it was a source of sembarrassment for decades in te united states has established quotas said we want america to look a lot different than it would look if other immigrants came to this country and thankfully, in 1965 it was changed. thankfully we give up the quotas, quotas that have been criticized roundly as being insensitive to the realities of world population and reality of the population of america. now the trump administration wants to cut legal immigration to the united states again 544%. the biggest cut since the cato instituterr tells us since that horrible bill that was passed in 1924. let me tell you

a disease of war our society it's not only their positions but at the same time my strategy to unite people in the opposition managed to do that during the municipal elections because we recruit more than a thousand candidates from different parties part of the open in russia and. and movement and we support of those people. two hundred six to several of them in their seats and it was because there was a complaint of united democracy and i will try to do that it's a headache of the opposition that we can sometimes united telford can i ask you one about one more strategy that the opposition usually employs that you yourself have benefited from both of ali and you to some extent do some to corruption work and you use it as a means of gaining political attention do you think that's a good idea because some would argue that mixing politics and anti corruption allows the authorities to dismiss those investigations altogether as a political ploy don't you think that add to corruption in russia would bad if it if it was perceived as a non partisan rule of law or pursuit rather than a means to have

united states. let's put some numbers behind this question. we are a nation of approximately 350 million people. each year 1.1 million legal immigrants come into the united states. about 70% of them are members of families of those already here. some of them have waited for their chance to join up with their families 20 years. so 75% of the legal immigration is family unification. as i mentioned some have waited for a long, long time. many on the other side want to limit legal immigration into the united states, want to limit this family unification effort and those who come in with promises of jobs. so the question was asked in the poll as to whether or not we should cut legal immigration levels. and the quinnipiac poll, 78% of americans are opposed to cutting legal immigration. a majority of americans 54% support keeping legal immigration at the same or current level. more americans, 24%, supporting increasing it rather than decreasing it 17%. even 71% of republican voters want legal immigration levels to stay either the same, 53%, or increase, 18%. additional poll questions found support for m

people, as i have recognized here today. i sit here today offering the outstretched hand of the united states to the palestinian people in the cause of peace. we are fully prepared to look to a future of austerity and coexistence. we welcome you as the leader of the palestinian people here today, but i will decline the advice i was recently given by your top negotiator. i will not shut up. respectfullyl speak some hard truths. the palestinian leadership has a choice to make between two different paths. there's the path of absolutist demand's, hateful rhetoric, and incitement to violence. that path has led and will continue to lead to nothing but hardship for the palestinian people. or there is the path of negotiation and compromise. history has shown that path to be successful for egypt and jordan, including the transfer of territory. that path remains open to the palestinian leadership if only it is courageous enough to take it. the united states knows the palestinian leadership was very unhappy with the decision to move our embassy to jerusalem. you do not have to like that decision. you do not have to praise it. you do no

is this some kind of admission that the government still has a lot of work to do to unite people?ll for national unity a long time after the referendum in a very conciliatory tone of the sort i don't think we have heard very much from cabinet ministers. boris johnson will use his valentine's day speech to try and woo despairing remain voters who feel brexit is a disaster and he's written a piece in tomorrow's sun along those lines. he's one of the leading figures of bo—lieve campaign, or he was, and he says he understands the grief and alienation of our brexit many people feel and he detects a hardening of the anger. he says it's not good enough to say to the 48% who voted remain get over it for survey says concerns and excite is need to be listened to. he says it would be a disastrous mistake to try and stop brexit and cause britain's departure from the eu the great project of age. the tone of this is really interesting. i think for people who are sceptical about brexit, maybe people watching on from the eu, it's not the tone, it's the conduct of mr johnson's speech and other min

we do people of the united states, i'm sure many of you could recite it. these are some things that i'm going to talk about that may surprise people. one thing, the preamble says that the constitution is going to be set down for their posterity. in that way, they intended this thing to be long-lasting. it is the longest lasting written constitution in the world. they wanted it to be that way. through the amendment process, it could be that way. otherwise, you have a new constitution. they intended it to last for a very long time. there are many founders who said that. know, is people don't the original preamble, probably no one has ever read it. or very few people have read it. when the constitution was first presented, this is what it said. ofthe people of the states new hampshire, massachusetts, rhode island, providence plantations, new jersey, and georgia, do ordain and establish the following constitution for the government of ourselves and our posterity. that was the original preamble. you might wonder why did they change it. it is very simple. the man

impact here in the united states is that people will feel inspired and continue motivated to stand up human amnesty is doing rights work in the united states. we don't just do human rights ork in other parts of the world. we do it here and we call out abuses wherever we seem them and have an way it will impact is our colleagues around the world are inspired that we do call out human rights abuses u.s.e it's not enough that we can criticize other governments that may not have as much influence in the u.s. we're also out those abuses. thank you. one more want to add point. most countries who are violating they always take the cover of national sovereignty and domestic laws understand when crimess to international you don'tational law, have that cover. ou're obligated under international law to follow the laws. it doesn't matter whether you're or smallest, poorest country the richest most powerful country in the world, internationally human rights law consistent and used the same across all countries. i hope that answers you partially. go ahead. >> thank you. two questions. to know -- >>

right now we have 4 million people waiting for the process legally to come to the united states and that is a two-year backlog. years. that is irrational. we like to be able to fix the process and before we add another 2 million people into this and take a clear process and a 25-30 your process to get to that backlog time. let's fix what is obvious. practically this issue of family reunification is not a new issue. in 1995 democratic house member barbara jordan led a study about what tot do on immigration and made a major proposal on what to do on what they called it in the time in 1995 in a democratically group called chain migration. saying that adult siblings and adult children should come in under their own merit not under the family and that we should target skills for individuals coming in not just with my brother-in-law and you get the chance to come as well. this would allow us to be able to empty out that backlog. those year backlog to be able to come into the united states in a faster pace. the diversity lottery is on a challenge diversity, far from it. we people from all over

then you have many more people here unlawfully in the united states that are not addressed in daca. there is plenty more work to be done after this is a good down payment on making sure that we address this pressing problem for young people that are brought here, in many instances by their parents at a young age and consider this their home, as well as addressing it from the standpoint of making sure that in the future parents and other people who do not flout our laws. respect for the rule of law is one of my highest priorities. i was an immigration lawyer before i was elected to congress your i have helped people immigrate to the united states from more than 70 countries, so i'm very much pro-immigration. however, we are a nation of laws and we have to have respect for the rule of law. i think we're losing that when we go through one or more administration really honored our immigration laws. i am pleased this administration is taking that more seriously. as they do that calls for congress to act, not just on these issues but more. during my remaining time in congress i intend to f

the united states has been friends with crazier people, with less responsible people, and the united states is currently friends with people like mr. dutere of the philippines, who is absolutely intal, and is proud of it shooting people, murdering people left and right for drug abuses and other problems that they have never been prosecuted or convicted of. dialogue andk diplomacy are things that are restricted just to so-called same people. sane people. st.: st. louis mcgirt -- louis, missouri. caller: thank you for taking my call. professor moon, what you think about the back-and-forth between president trump and the north korean leader? is that constructive? is there any disadvantage? guest: that is a good question. answer you have your own , the way you are asking me. no, i do not think it has been constructed at all. these two gentlemen, mr. trump, mr. kim, they have been playing with words, and their words are very dangerous. -- eate tory rhetoric, scalotory rhetoric, incendiary rhetoric can lead to increased distrust, increased perception -military -- met - actions. and the inte

i think if there is enough groundswell for for good things to happen that people can unite using these tools and accomplish them. did you use bots on facebook or twitter in the twenty sixteen alexion now i think that there's an interesting future in terms of people who want to get information from a campaign. that's going to get the information i think that's really useful in terms of spreading misinformation i think it's a bad thing and something that we have to. do think the russian information campaign and to exacerbate social divisions in the united states donald trump when we're both both and we need to recognize that there are people who are disingenuous in mind whether it's russia other countries operations in america and if they succeed in that then we're giving them a lot more power the mission. what did you think of the all rights efforts to use social media platforms to hope trump and twenty six. disagree very strongly with with the albright. but they are using tactics that are successful in terms of propaganda in terms of flag conveying an emotional connection with their ba

we are not safe by people going into the shadows. this is the united states of america. why would we want people to try to hide from us? that's not the country we are a bit we don't create fear in the hearts of law-abiding citizens. these are law-abiding citizens. they have sisters and brothers who are u.s. citizens. they have other family members who, some are tps, some are dreamers, some are u.s. citizens. we don't tell families that we're going to tear them apart. that's not what america believes in. these are all individuals who have gone through security checks. these are people who have been law-abiding, comply with all laws, working, serving our military, building this country. so, mr. president, i know that the first order of business, and to support this come is to make sure that the dreamers are protected. and i strongly support that and would vote for a bill on the floor right now tonight that's been introduced by some of our colleagues that protects the dreamers come in and of itself if nothing else connects us to. shouldn't be controversial. but it also just

there was a stretch where people thought the soviet union was catching up with the united states. ronald reagan wiped that away. in the 1980's people thought the japan was wiping that'll -- was catching up with the united states and that never happened. now we do have a genuine challenge and that is china. we cannot allow china to overtake the united states. we have to continue to be the hub of the world economy. by oneans -- i was asked of the chinese economic ministers a couple of years ago whether he thought china would speed past us. i said that is not going to happen in my lifetime. i said the reason that is not going to happen is because our chinese are smarter than your chinese. here's what we need to do. stealing from the united states. we are an information age technology,produce we produce all sorts of patents and copyrights. the latest estimate is that billion stealing 500 dollars or almost half $1 trillion of technology by stealing our patents and copyrights. that cannot happen anymore. here is my take on this. i do not believe that donald trump can possibly be tough en

quotas for countries and for people expressly designed to exclude certain people from around the world from entering the united states of america. a notorious piece of legislation those excluded from america included people from italy, eastern europe, japan, asia and jewish people. that was the immigration policy of the united states of america because of that bill in 1924 the last time this chamber has made such a dramatic cut illegal immigration to america it was a source of embarrassment for decades to establish quotas to say we want america to look a lot different than if other immigrants came to this country thankfully in 1865 it was changed those quotas that were criticized to be sensitive to the realities of world population of america now the trump administration wants to cut legal immigration main by 44% since the horrible bill passed in 1924. i will tell you what else it would do. the unaccountable slush fund of $25 billion for a border wall that mexico was supposed to pay for. $25billion i think that is more than the annual appropriation from national institute of health. $25billion the president wa

so -- and that's me, and i hope that around me, i can unite people with views to show some result andt we're against putin and russia is not putin. there are many people who disagree with him. >> so what do you disagree with putin on politically and policy tones, where are your differences? >> well, first of all, i think that russia has to have free democratic elections. that means that everyone who wants to take part in it should be admitted. next, there should be full coverage of the campaign on the same level for the candidates, which is not now the case, and thirdly, debates with the candidates should be there. can you imagine that putin just denies debates? he says he won't take part in the debates of the candidates, so you do your job, guys, and i will stay still in kremlin. >> let me ask. you're also in favor of gay rights in a way that putin is not. does putin take these positions, social conservativism, this kind of nationalism regarding ukraine and the crimea, does he take these positions because he knows they appeal to the kind of heartland of russia? and he can paint your

most common form of legal form of immigration to the united states in 216,238,000 was categorized as a family sponsored preference and 557,000 people came to the united states as an immediate relative between 60 and 70% is family -based roots. >> i think those are divided clearly the vast majority is dithe immediate relative or of minor children and their parents on those minor children even in the 20s trying to create immigration laws based on racial origin they still respected family reunification and migration. >> the president refers to unlimitedef numbers but are there caps currently how many can come in as part of the program? >> there is no numerical limit that you can support yourself but in terms of the family sponsored system mentioning 238,000 there are numerical caps. for those that are older than 21 for the category of minor children that cap is at 88000 per year but the unmarried sons and daughters without cap a 26000 per year 23400 per year in those brothers and sisters but the result of this combined has resulted in the long wait time for the brothers and sisters category that are faithfully getting their green card

i think the impact here in the united states is that people will feel inspired and continue to be motivated to stand up because amnesty is doing human rights work in the united states. we don't just do human rights work in other parts of the world and we do it right here and we call out abuses wherever we see them. the other way it's going to have an impact is our colleagues around the world are inspired that we do call our human rights abuses in the u.s. it's not enough that we can criticize other governments that may not have as much influence, but mere in the u.s. we're also calling out those abuses. thank you. >> i just want to add one more point, you know, that as much as -- most countries who are violating human rights, they always take the cover of national sovereignty and domestic laws, but we have to understand that when it comes to international crimes and international law, you don't really have that, because it doesn't matter where you are and what your national laws say, you are obligated under international law to follow those laws, and it doesn't matter whether you're the sma
