it hasn't threatened to destroy the united states. so when you are near the threat you feel it more intensely than the united states. for the united states it's a major foreign policy issue. for us it could be a matter of national survival. so obviously our mind is more concentrated on it on the issue than we think the united states is. >> even with israel public opinion really worried about iran does where people in israel come down on the netanyahu showdown have to do with where they are politically in the first place? >> well, i think there's a board consensus in israel on all parties athat vaughn a threat. that if iran achieves nuclear weapons or is in the threshold of achieving a nuclear weapon this is a dire threat to israel. there is a board agreement among all parties that israel should do at all possible to resist this. would the speech be seen as a snub to the president of the united states and would it affect the bipartisan support? so this is the issue on the -- for the israeli public and obviously i think there's more sup

and i want to thank the united states congress for this prestigious honor, extraordinary recognition 0 americans and canadians came together to form the first special service force. they were united in training to become a commando force that would be disruptive on the battlefields of europe. they were also united in the knowledge that their service and their unique style bore extreme risks. and their service was tremendous and legendary by now in italy and in france. in anzio in particular where they fought for 99 days without relief. so we're fosht nate today that this special occasion allows us to bring some of them together. we get to hear from charlie and eugene. and we get to remember those who are not with us, like thomas prince from manitoba, canada's most decorated veteran of the second world war. thank you, please. [applause] mr. prince served as a reconnaissance scout. and our nation awarded him the military medal, and yours the silver star. prince was one of 59 silver stars awarded by the u.s. government to canadians serving under command in the devils brigade. today we mu

united states snipers in vietnam used 2.3 rounds per kill versus thousands of rounds per kill expended by conventional units. for these reasons, the army conducted sniper courses and educated commanders on all levels on sniper employment. in grenada, army snipers were successful at ranges of up to 800 meters. during recent action "just cause" in panama, the longest confirmed kill documented was 925 meters. snipers in panama accounted for at least 10% of all casualties and were instrumental in intelligence gathering and security, especially around the papal nuncio. the role of the modern sniper team is to enhance the means of eliminating the enemy. the sniper team is unique in that it is the sole means by which a unit can engage point targets beyond the effective range of a standard service rifle. one shot, one kill. united states army snipers. >> monday night, we spoke with executives at the consumer electronics show in las vegas. they talk about their companies and the technology on which the internet, mobile phones, and the cloud operate. >> we talk about what we call the network soc

it was, i don't understand why anyone would possibly want to attack the united states. we are such a peaceful nation. all we want to do is go about living our lives with freedom and liberty, yet people seem to really hate us and it's impossible to understand why. the question that was asked of the mirkin people was -- of the american people was the famous "why do they hate us" question, and the u.s. government needed to provide an answer because people wanted to know why they were attacked. the answer was, they hate us for our freedom. what's remarkable about that, that was understandable because muslims and their grievances have been basically excluded completely from public discourse. the reason americans did not know that is because they were not subjected to it. they were never exposed to it. 11 years later, here we are, after the united states has full-scaleo invasions and invasions of predominantly muslim countries, has bombed many others, has created a worldwide torture regime, has created a lawless prison in the middle of the ocean that has brought thousands of

the question is what is going on right now in the united states? ou hearing from your sources? >> that's right. all 50 states. the other day i was talking to a federal prosecutor about why we hadn't seen any one of these cases, these types of cases in new york city. biggest city in the country. we have seen them come out of denver chicago, texas, florida. and it is -- it was something kind of remarkable. the head of the national security division says that he is prosecuting more than 25 of these cases all across the country. now we have one here in new york city. from what the -- these documents that the fbi filed in court today, we're talking about a real cell in essence, that was working here to try to figure out not only perhaps going overseas but if they couldn't perhaps doing something here. >> right now, the u.s.-led coalition is preparing to for a major new offensive against isis in mosul. the battle will likely drag on for months upon months. we have more now of my conversation with general ray odiario. i asked him about the role that americ

the united states botanic garden is an old institution with in the united states government with fascinating roots. it may not seem obvious today, but the founding fathers were quite unified in their insistence on the creation of a national botanic garden. i would like to begin the story of the united states botanic garden in 1796 when george washington wrote a letter in which he laid out his vision for a federal university and the federal botanical garden. he was quite adamant as the chief executive at the time that it be near the presidents house, what eventually became the white house. unfortunately, washington never live to see the botanic garden realized within his lifetime nor did the botanic garden get put near the white house. but eventually it was created as part of the united states capitol complex. i should note one interesting thing if i may, as a point of syntax, i will always try to say botanic garden. but in the generic sense talking about generic botanical gardens. , i may go back and forth. botanic and botanical can be used interchangeably. whether or not they were used in t

[

but i don't think there's serious doubt in israel that the united states would somehow sell are israel out and make a deal with iran that would endanger the existence of the state of israel. i think netanyahu himself and the people around him simply don't believe that any deal that leaves iran with the nuclear program with the ability to enrich yeurm within uranium, within their own country, they have come to the conclusion that it's simply not a workable deal to demand that iran give up its entire nuclear enrichmentrichment program. they decided a workable deal that puts iran's nuclear program under heavy scrutiny. >> mort kline, do you believe that that agency which is tasked with doing this kind of work can keep track of iran's centrifuges? >> they can keep track of what they're allowed to keep track of. but the iran continues to do research and development it's permitted to improve the centrifuges to make it easier to develop a nuclear weapon, and their military installations like parchin, there is the iraq plutonium plant which is an alternatively to nuclear weapons which continue

inside the united states government, we know that states and nonstate actors, terrorists, hackers, and criminals are probing our networks every day seeking to steal, to spy, to manipulate, and to destroy data. at the state level, threats are coming from nations with highly sophisticated cyber programs including china and russia. and nations with less technical capacity, but greater disruptive intent like no -- iran in northern korea. they use the espionage for the commercial gain of their company. politically, the attacks are growing and they are growing in reality. this is what we saw with north korea's attack on south korea and their banks and media outlets last year. as for nonstate actors, threats are increasingly originating from profit motivated criminals, so-called "hackers for hire," those who would steal your information and sell online to the highest bidder. transnational criminals use cyber as a vector for profit and there are the ideologically motivated hackers and terrorists. you have groups like anonymous that thrive on creating disruptions on companies websites and lanky

when we were founded we were, quote, these united states, emphasizing it was the states not the nation. we had a problem of this sort, the economy of the south and the economy of the north divers, moral understanding of what the united states meant, divers and we met at gettysburg for of great conference and we agreed at gettysburg with much blood and violence and wars that this was one nation under god, indivisible, with hopefully liberty and justice for all. who will die to preserve the european union? who will go to gettysburg? where will the grand army of the republic be raised from? there is no center of gravity in europe beyond the economic center. the basic reality of europe a continent of nation states. tiexiera note who share note fate, remains the case. it is interesting how they have to do it. the european central bank will not distribute its money. each of the national banks will print the money and they are allowed to buy only their own debt because no nation wants to be liable for another nation's irresponsibility. each nation wants to control how it spents. they don't wa

they don't respect the united states. why all of that is tied together , and reviving the dream for the american middle last -- middle-class, why it is important for the policies to go into place, can be so powerful as we go forward. we look and see these numbers in america, the participation rate has been as low as it has been since 1978. how many of you remember 1978? i had just gotten out of the air force and move back home in that rule community -- rural community in. everybody had their own tomcat. i know i am a rule community when someone chuckles at that. we lived a long way from our neighbors, i assure you. being able to live that american dream, my father came home from world war ii as a 20-year-old young man who had spent a year in east anglia on a b-17 crew. he came back to that rulerural area to live in peace. he knew his country had sacrificed greatly to bring peace and liberty and freedom to places all around the world. that is exactly what he did. today, i'm not sure people have the faith that american drea

the united states does command some respect and admiration on many issues at the united nations, butdecades been a worldwide laughing stock for its preposterous and unjustifiable embargo against cuba. president obama is the first american president to even begin to behave like an adult toward cuba by working toward normalizing relations. but every word president obama says to the world about terrorism, every attempt he makes to enlist world support in the effort against terrorism is undercut by keeping cuba on the list of state sponsors of terrorism. it is simply a lie and the world knows it's a lie. cuba should be removed from that list immediately, not as a concession to cuba in negotiations to normalize relations, but because it is a lie. the most important lesson that the american presidency should have learned by now about conducting a war on terror is that the worst thing, the very worst thing the united states can do is lie about who the enemy is and where the enemy is. president obama, for his part seems determined to stop the big lie about cuba. >> i've instructed secretary

senator graham that the united states, the administration has barred from bringing detainees to the united states mainland. also barred from releasing detainees without 30 days of notification. why should the american people believe that obligation will be any more respected than the prior notification obligation was last year? >> the lack of notification in the bergdahl case -- >> all laws are created equal. there was a law that created prior notification. a law that prohibits detainees from coming to guantanamo bay. what assurance can we receive that there will not be a detainee on our shores tomorrow morning. >> senator, what i can say as to the 30-day notice issue, our lawyers believe we had a valid legal reason we took, on the issue we're asking, we are focused on transfers in the process. i'm not aware of any conversations not to follow the current steps. >> i now want to explore the so-called risk balance of resit viz m and the propaganda. >> i'm not sure if i follow the question. >> engaging in terrorism or anti-american excitement. because they're detained. they only engage in tha

later, president johnson appointed him as the united states delegate to the united nations. the photograph to the left shows him receiving his credentials. it was an extension of his efforts to improve the conditions of what he referred to as "our people" -- mexican-americans in united states in particular. it was a growth of the skills that he had begun to develop and working with others. it was on a global stage instead of a local stage. he always had the welfare of the mexican american people and impoverished people at heart and what he was doing. that is what he worked for. one of the successes that dr. garcia experienced during his diplomatic service was his address the united nations in spanish. it was the first time that a representative of the united states of america had addressed the united nations in a line which other than english. it was quite well-received. it was very much appreciated by his latin american colleagues in the body. after the vietnam war, he received hundreds, probably thousands, of letters from returned veterans seeking his support and all sorts

than 5000 years of history and it deals with a vast array of different places from india to the united states, from egypt to central asia, from west africa to the united kingdom. the scope of the book is so fast that it can't possibly give you the complete picture in the short time we have here today. i can only hope i will be able to provide you with a taste of importance but also the exciting nature of that story, "empire of cotton" and this story of the empire of cotton which will lead you to a leisurely study of the book itself. so what kind of book is "empire of cotton"? first and foremost "empire of cotton" is a book that is much different from most history books that you have read. most historical studies as you note deal with events with world war i world war i are a particular person such as a biography of napoleon or they deal with a particular subject such as the history of industrialization and they almost always deal with relatively narrow short timeframes and they limit themselves to studying developments in one town in one region, one country. of course there are exceptions. on

thirty or 40 years ago you have one or two members of the united states senate will women. for women. today would've had states on governors senators members of congress are women, and while we still have a long long way to go to break down barriers in this country no what he would deny that we've come a long way. i pointed to the 1st woman police officer back in the 1980s. working on capitol hill today is not such a big deal. this disability issue. when you and i were kids and families had a baby born with a disability was an embarrassment. kids were institutionalized. today we have come a long way as a result of the ada and other programs. kids with disabilities are loved of wealth and our schools are part of a committee. we have made more progress on that than anyone would have dreamed. last but not least if you and i were talking ten years ago and you said i think maybe some of the more conservative states of america gay marriage were no longer be a big deal, you would have thought that would be completely crazy. i got a kid schools conservative parts of of the state and

politicians weighing in on both sides. >>> another major storm slams the united states. we'll look a those areas feeling the impact. >>> but we begin this hour with breaking news out of cuba. the country's state-run media has just posted more than 20 images of former leader fidel castro on its website. the government-run newspaper claims these photos are about two weeks old. there hasn't been an official photo of castro in about six months. we are joined on the line with more on this. patrick, the big question, why now? >> caller: you know, according to this author who released the pictures and he's a university leader part of the cuban university system. and he says that because cuba was anxious to know about fidel castro. that's certainly true because not only has it been more than five months since we've seen any photos of fidel castro but we haven't seen any photos of him, really hadn't had any word of him until recently since that historic announcement that the united states and cuba would restore diplomatic ties. perhaps fidel castro was unable to comment, perhaps h

government and that the democratic and republican parties inside the united states are united and supportive of the present strategy to degrade sxumtly destroy isil. and that will be an important diplomatic signal we'll send to the members of our coalition that the united states government commitment to this task of degrading and ultimately destroying isil is unwavering and it will send a clear signal to our not miz that if there is any doubt in their mind that the united states of america takes their threat seriously, this would eliminate that threat -- that doubt. >> but would it be fair to say that the impact is largely political and diplomatic and will not have an impact either strategically or operationally? >> well the president has already indicated and his lawyers have confirmed for him based on their review of the law that congress has already given the president the authority to authorize -- or to order these actions under the aumf passed in 2001. there are some who argue the president has this authority und your the 2002 aumf as well. but the fact of the matter is t

this was the same problem that the united states had when we were founded, a we were called the united states, emphasizing the states and not the nation. we had a problem of this sort, which is the economy of the south and the economy with the moral understanding of what the united states meant and we met at gettysburg for a great conference. and we agreed with much blood and violence and horror that this was one nation under god, indivisible. with hopefully liberty and justice for all. who will die to preserve the european union remap who will go to gettysburg and where will the grand army of the republic be raised from? and there is no center of gravity beyond an economic center. the basic reality of europe, which is a continent of nationstates who share this remains the case we have just seen the decision by the european central bank to do what is called qe. it's a little too late but it's interesting to see how they do it. the european central bank will not distribute this money. each of the national banks will print the money and they are allowed to buy only their own debt. why is

he granted the united states of america power over foreign affairs, war, and a post office area that was it. if congress wanted money which of course it needed, it had to requisition it from the states. congress would have to tell each state what their share would be. often the money never arrived. congress had no power over commerce. no power of revenue, no taxation , and certainly no power to create -- as it would, later -- a 100-square mile federal territory over which the united states congress had exclusive jurisdiction. in 1783, congress consisted of the 13 states. each delegation could have as many members as it could pay for, but only one vote. it took seven votes to do anything and nine votes to do anything that cost money. consequently, it did not get too much none. so, immediately there were attempts to amend it, to strengthen it, to give congress the ability to tariff. like all revolutions when the articles of confederation were first written, everybody was on the same side of things, so they put in a provision in the articles that in order to amend the articles, it took t

>> peter, what i want to turn your attention to is the increasingly public dispute between the united states israel about iran. you've read these reports. the state department spokesman publicly in a sense confirmed that the obama administration believes that israel and prime minister netanyahu personally apparently has been leaking incorrect information about the iran nuclear deal. in addition it feels that he is making an end run around them and going and speaking before congress. what to make about all this? >> the reason this clash is so fierce, it goes to the heart of the legacies of both men. benjamin netanyahu sincerely believes he is winston churchill in the 1930s. the only person wise enough and brave enough to sound the alarm about a potential -- about a potential nazi-like threat. barack obama sees himself as much more again to richard nixon in the 1970s, trying to make, look at the possibility of making an opening to iran which would be like an opening to china which would rejigger the entire power balance in the middle east and allow america to solve problems it can't solve now

that's a democrat in the united states senate. approving keystone is a no-brainer. it would support 42,000 jobs during trucks crux, contribute billions to our economy and bring revenue to state and local governments which would mean more money for schools and teachers and roads and bridges. and it would do all this, all this without spending a dime, a single dime of taxpayer money. the president's refusal to approve this legislation is a signal of just how unserious he is about want work with congress -- wanting to work with congress to get things done. unfortunately, after a promising start democrats in the senate are starting to imitate president obama's obstruction. yesterday democrats again voted to filibuster the department of homeland security appropriations bills for the fourth time this month. their reason -- they're desperate to protect the president's executive action on immigration. mr. president, before president obama decided to implement his executive amnesty he said 22 times that he did not have the authority to take this action. in fact, on march in 2

different times publicly before he issued his executive action last november, and a judgment of united states federal district judge ruling on a case brought by 26 states in brownsville, texas, recently. so i cannot support her nomination. i do wish her well and hope her record will be better than that of mr. holders, but after six years of the obama imagination we've all learned that hope is not enough. finally, i want to acknowledge rolando vera george hanks to serve as judges in the southern district executed and bring the qualifications expensive commitment to public service we need in the federal judiciary. i want to thank the good work of the members of the texas federal judicial evaluation committee appointment senator cruz and myself as well as the white house counsel's office who's worked with us on these nominees. these three fine nominees instead how we can work together to get qualified nominees on the bench regardless of party efficient so i'm pleased to support these nominees and appreciate your putting them on today's agenda. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator corny

united states army snipers. >> up next on american history tv, house and senate leaders dedicate a statue in the u.s. capital of barry goldwater, often called the father of modern american conservatism. they reflected on his five terms as a republican u.s. senator from arizona, his presidential nomination, influence on president ronald reagan, and affinity for photography. this is about 40 minutes. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our honored guest, arizona secretary of state members of the united state house representatives, members of united dates senate, and the speaker of the united dates house of representatives. ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the united dates house of representatives the honorable john boehner. >> ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, and welcome to statuary hall. this space was once the chamber of the house of representatives, where lincoln served his one term in congress, and where madison, monroe, and andrew jackson were sworn into office. since the 1860's, the tradition has been for each state to send two statues here in honor of their favorite sons

i'd love to be a friend of whoever is taking this case all the way up to the united states supreme court. i think that's the best way that we can resolve this. have no doubt, i am angry as are my constituents in the border state that the president of the united states would unconstitutionally issue the executive orders that he did. >> schieffer: i understand that. i understand your position on that but i mean the idea that the government might actually shut down that the senate would go along with that, i take it you are going to oppose that even though some of your republicans do want to do that. >> i do oppose it. i remember last time we shut down the whole government this would obviously be homeland security, last time we shut down the whole government we turned away 600,000 visitors to our national parks here in arizona. i don't want to see that movie again. >> schieffer: you just heard jeh johnson talking about the terrorism summit. did you come away from that summit, you weren't there but did you come away from it feeling that the united states has a strategy to fight these terrori

and the united states and free trade. it's in our own vested interest, the interest of the united states and the german interest. we're dealing with g-7 agenda with health issues. what sort of lessons have we drawn from the terrible ebola epidemic. one is that the international organizations and international community has to be quicker in reacting to such situations, and we're also interested, for example, in seeing we're happy to see the conclusion of the conference in germany. we dealt with security issues. it is true that germany celebrates the anniversary of reunification. this could not have been possibly or achieveable without transatlantic partners and we'll always be grateful for this. it is one case in point that it is well worth the effort to stand by one's values for decades to pursue long-term goals and not relent in those efforts. after we thought in the '90s maybe that things would turn out more easily, less complicateed now we see ourselves facing a whole wealth of conflicts. we talked about afghanistan. g

that the united states and europe have not stood idly by. we have made enormous efforts, enormous investments of dollars, of political capital, of diplomacy in trying to resolve the situation. i think the ukrainian people can feel confident that we have stood by them. people like vice president biden and secretary of state kerry have spent countless hours on this issue, as has angela and her team on the german side. and just because we have not yet gotten the outcome that we want, doesn't mean that this pressure is not over time making a difference. i think it's fair to say there are those inside of russia who recognize this has been a disastrous course for the russian economy. i think mr. putin -- situation is entirely resolved. we're going to have to keep on trying different things to see if we can get a better outcome. what i do know is that we will not be able to succeed unless we maintain the strong transatlantic solidarity that's been the hallmark of our national security throughout the last 70 years. and i'm confident that i've got a

why wouldn't the united states good -- use its leverage with respect human rights and press freedoms and with respect to religious freedoms with respect to political dissidents? i am reading from state department personnel dancer that the god was we are not doing that. that's shocking and i think a disappointment to many that we wouldn't use the leverage we finally have too some good point. i wonder if you would address that because i think we have squandered the leverage. >> first i want to start out by saying what liberalization there has been in regulations and my colleagues would certainly specify in all of this is very specific and i think mr. smith repeatedly noted that most transactions still remain prohibited. >> if i may, fair enough but the president -- promised the presence that explicitly we are going to start the process of dismantling the embargo. the cubans see promise not just here now but a pathway towards the dismantlement of the policy in place for half a century. >> the cubans keep demanding this in part because it still there. and they know this is not a big liber

whether it's innocent civilians here in the united states. al baghdadi, before he was released in iraq, had stated, i'll see you guys in new york. and i don't know, i don't have a doubt that either al baghdadi or one of his extreme terrorists will find their way back to new york or somewhere in this great country. they have an amazing network that reaches all around the globe. and what i do not want to see and all of us should be able to agree on this, that we do not want to see detainees from gitmo being released and returning to the fight. my sentiments are exactly like senator cottons. i could care less. they really should not be out there where they can threaten american lives or our nato allies, their lives, so, i would like to hear from you, generally, the types of activity activities that our detainees, just so everybody understands, the types of activities, our gitmo detainees were involved in before they were taken to guantanamo. please explain to me so i know many people will watch this testimony. they will hear the testimony. i woul

you my opinion but you may rest assured that no matter what we decide the alliance between the united states and europe will continue to stand, will continue to be solid, even though on certain issues we may not always agree, but this partnership feeds on ukraine and russia and international state, feeds on other issues. is a partnership through the -- in europe we're very close. the partnership is indispensable and this will remain so and i can say this on behalf of my colleagues in the european union. sorry, i have to call you myself. >> translator: president you said you have not yet made a decision as to whether weapons ought to be delivered to ukraine. what would be your red line? what would be the red line that needs to be crossed for you to decide a -- an arment of the ukrainian army. what do you think will this hold by way of a promise because the chancellor said it will make matters worse? what can the nobel laureate obama do more? and president putin again demanded that the government in kiev negotiate directly with the separatists. when do you think the right moment has come to do

i think that the united states and their ultimate objective is reaching the united states and in theack of his mind he is thinking the united states really wants to see and i believe that he has reluctantly agreed to permit them to proceed with these negotiations. and the other thing about kristen and the bottom line is that we, that all of our traditions and teachings, we all have the right to self-defense. that is maybe the common ground. barbara: you mentioned the supreme leader, who made some interesting remarks yesterday, once a -- once again expressing support for negotiations on the other side. obama says that no deal is better than a bad deal. he also said and strongly implied that the deal that is now being negotiated is a deal that he could set. there is some disagreement in the expert community about how to interpret his remark. but some have called it less hostile to the united states than recently, suggesting he is preparing the ground for the acceptance of some sort of agreement that would require concessions on the part of the iranian government. >> i thought it was re

that is the sacred, solemn commitment that the united states and the president of the united states deems unshakeable. >> charlie: so this is about ukraine, and don't even think about going anywhere else. >> don't think about any single member of n.a.t.o. >> charlie: do you wish that ukraine was a member of n.a.t.o.? >> i don't quick -- my job is better not to wish, it's better to take things as they are. but what i was trying to say charlie, with respect to our n.a.t.o. allies, the united states and our other nate to partners -- n.a.t.o. partners beefed up our presence in the eastern flank of n.a.t.o., and we're now there in larger numbers air, land and sea. >> charlie: it's humiliating to see the troops have to leave. >> what troops? >> charlie: the ukrainian troops when they moved. >> you're making a different point. you're trying to -- what are you trying to do? (laughter) >> charlie: go ahead. i'm trying to keep you on track. >> i'm on track. you're trying to get me off track. no, i was just simply saying we're taking very serious steps to reinforce n.a.t.o.'s presence, air, land and
