is the 2nd world war the united states has never experienced that in the united states has these miss about it has these narratives of american exceptionalism. you know, that comes out of manifest destiny and the doctrine of discovery. all these rules are pretty much religious beliefs about the nation that continue to exist in sustain american policy. it you can see in our domestic policies and how we don't care for our people in this country, you know, might, it's right in other things in terms of how much we lock people up, you know, as well as our police issues. but overseas, you can really see in this notion that god has given a special purpose, seated i states. and there are many people who really believe that whether they literally believe it or it's just more of a metaphor. but they do believe that the united states exists to spread freedom in democracy in a dissonance is incredible. because, you know, 70 percent of the world's dictators and autocratic regimes and military regime, etc. monarchies, 70 percent of those countries that are not democracies, receive weapons from the

you didn't have a lot of in-house experts in the united states on these issues. , we didn't have many in-house experts in the cia or state department either. that's another can of worms. it was hard to get information. okay, another turn of this same story. hard to get information, right? you got young people, all kinds of people saying that. i don't trust "time magazine," i don't trust "new york times," i don't trust the president of the united states, but i can't go to a teach-in every day, so what do i do? an english literature major, writing her doctorate on english literature, she's part of this new left, been involved in protests in the early '60s. she is trying to take advantage of her skill set. i can write. i can do research. i know how to do these things. i'll set up an alternative media on this issue. and really in incredibly rapid time, with almost no money in her pocket at all, she gets a little grant from a teachers' union in new york. remember the united auto workers helped fund some of the early snicc activity? here's another little group, a teache

on january 3rd 1950, 9:49's star was added to the united states flag when the territory of alaska climaxedt centuries efforts to achieve statehood. admission to the union was celebrated in typical alaskan fashion. the 50th star was added when hawaii became a state on august 21st, 1959. pierre governor quinn -- hawaii's first u.s. senator persisted -- participated in a celebration. he was the first senator of chinese ancestry in congressional history. no hawaiian celebration is complete without a traditional hula. acclaimed is an anti communist hero and announced as a threat to civil liberties for his conduct of senate investigations, joseph became the most controversial political figure of the period. >> we've been holding executive sessions covering the information programs soft dealing with the voice of america. dealing with in confidence. subversion. i might say that we have good reason to believe we will get full cooperation from the secretary of state. i think we can be helpful to him. >> his charges of communist -- by the army led to a clash with army secretary robert stevens. both w

the united states, particularly hunter biden -- under biden -- the united states accepting that ukrainevictim of aggression. russia is an aggressor and they basically adopted a ukrainian view that ukraine is the victim against further russian aggression. for russia, ukraine is an existential issue. they believed there was a coup d'etat back in 2014. they believe it happened with considerable assistance from the united states, and only after russia took over crimea and supported the separatists. it is difficult to have any agreement on ukraine if neither side is willing to compromise and the situation is not black-and-white. anchor: president and ceo for the president of national self-interest, i appreciate your candid thoughts. thank you for joining us today. what is the bottom line? everything that the united states does not like about russia makes president put in popular. annexing crime, doing away with term limits and keeping putin in for life for the next 15 years, that is super popular in russia. trying to kill his credit, alexei navalny, half of russians say it is his own fault.

and europe and the united states, never mind joe biden�*s presidency, europe and the united states ared to be. certainly, i'm worried, but i would challenge your assertion that all of europe no longer trusts the united states. germany, france, maybe some other western european countries, that might be the case, but i think the uk and the united states certainly still retain great trust and confidence in each other. and our allies in central and eastern europe still have great confidence in the united states and, frankly, high expectations. but the burden is on us. the burden is on the united states to regain the trust and confidence of our german allies, of our french allies, recognising that throughout the history of the alliance, there has always been friction. i mean, i was a lieutenant in germany when there were hundreds of thousands of german protesters out on the street because of the deployment of pershing ii and the french kicked nato out of france, back in the �*60s. so this is... it's never been a bed of roses, but it has been shared values. and so the burden is on the united

they certainly don't want to see the united states leave. so you have barriers actors and then you have other groups like islam, state, other extremist groups, that for whatever reason, want to see the violence continuing their own, their own ideological or personal reasons. so you have a lot of people who are willing and wanting to spoil this, and that's going to be a very over the next several months. that's going to continue is probably going to pick up. and that's going to be a very real issue for joe biden. in his people is to stay firm. if american troops say, are killed in afghanistan, you're going to hear a lot of calls from the american congress that you can't leave. you know, you're, you're banning your week. you know, you're free when you're forgetting the sacrifices of everyone before all the same scale entire thing got into that. they try it on a bama before i'm successful. that we have to take a very short break right now. but we're back in just a few moments which is on the me, the or i me oh, the me the news . mm. ah, welcome

jane use of that arson squad of similar grievances against the united states they want to with local o'flynn to give the but russia does not want to go to war when we get to confront patient with the next states because of china and the same is separate the rule was that cheney and his visit onion former florida means the judge very. recently has shed his perspective on the russia and he complained the film game and that it did not do one too good to promote. agreement nuclear disarmament agreement do we say you should put it so that russia does not strong alliances like the united states in building such a lens this is not them to cause but i do think that if. 'd the united states and no careful with good some kind of talk to put out arrangements between china and russia which would move because right on the lens but you know it was there was no lens good to him he had led stun but arrangement of this book on his mate cultism to stop well what do we have to do but it careful nobody believes as you day ssion in the nuclear age you know dmitri a lot of people frame russia as a you know

the united states and still remains to be a popular war in the united states and b. but he suffered politically because it was our position in sin then he has been incredibly hawkish. he has always supported armed intervention, conflict, us use of force, the pentagon, budget, etc, etc. so i think looking at the circumstances now again with the understanding about how this shift allows for the different parts of the pentagon to focus on parts of the world that they want. but also to understanding the, the stress on the u. s. economy right now, the stress on the u. s. population, because a coven, you know, all the other factors. i think that allowed by the opportunity to try and do something different with afghanistan, but they're, by no means is joe biden turning into a, you know, make a dub. exactly. does, there's still going to be, be this very interventionist, very involved american presence militarily throughout the world. but the fact that he was willing to disengage from afghanistan in this manner is a very welcome development. it's certainly much different righ

he's taught at every educational level in the united states germany, italy and the united kingdom. awarded the bancroft award in 2001. he is the only person to ever win both of the article of the year awards than the organization of american historians. is the founding director of the interdisciplinary violence studies program in denver university pule worked with community organizations and public agencies to study and respond to the numerous effects of violence and modern life. he's also organized special educational programs to a veterans of the vietnam war and served as educational director of the veterans institute of new england. now, let's hear from michael bublÉal. thank you for joining us today. good day. i am honored by this invitation to speak of the national archives about the core principle of human inequality and this day after the inauguration of our second catholic present and first woman vice president. we as a nation pride ourselves as living in a land of equality and opportunity the two being intricately in anexorably linked. it is also obvious that the united st

the united states cannot do it alone. with all of us gathered here today, i am very hopeful that's what we can accomplish together. our administration is intimating competence a strategy of governance and international institutions the private sector, foundations and community organizations. the idea here is that our work will be coordinated in the every sector will have a roll to play. first, regional governance, governance in the region can take onin corruption. lift up their communities provide safety and security for their citizens. princes, last week i had a bilateral meeting with the guatemalan president. we agreed to be in cooperation to shut down human traffickers and smugglers. in just a few days, i will be virtually the president of mexico. in a month from now, i will visit both countries. second, there is a roll for governance outside of the region. in international institutions. the united states investor, the united nations is working within the unf to support their humanitarian response plan. i've also spoke

that's a lot for the united states. it's pretty trivial as such things go in the rest of the world bomb. example in 1830 has about 50,000 more people living in it than does new york the 11th city in size in the 1830 is washington with a population of 18,000 or so and number 90 the last urban area on the census of 1830 turns out to be annapolis, maryland with all of 2600 people. this is the world in which the crews i'm describing to you takes place. the finally the war the napoleonic wars end at the battle of waterloo 1815 the world is at peace and the united states looks around and tries to decide what to do and how to do it the politics of the 1820s and the 1830s will be sharply shaped by the personal contest between these two men john quincy adams out of new england and andrew jackson from the tennessee frontier very very different figures. the 1824 campaign is full of candidates for the presidency this cartoon of the period will show you who they are. this is a library congress cartoon adams crawford jackson and clay

and the united states they test to come. to realize that it is part of the problem and unless they do make that connection it's going to continue to suffer in this part of the work people do not hate america because they love their democracy or because of of their freedom people who are the policies of the next states because it is not just the try to punish the palestinians so that they can please that is for us. nearly all the words and phrases used by the democrats republicans on the talking heads on the media to describe the unrest inside israel and the heaviest israeli assault against the palestinians since the 2014 attacks on gaza which lasted $51.00 days and killed more than $2200.00 palestinians including $551.00 children are alive israel by employing its military machine against an occupied population that does not have mechanized units an air force navy missiles heavy artillery and command and control not to mention a u.s. commitment to provide $38000000000.00 in defense aid to israel over the next decade is not ex

that represents 13% of the vaccines produced by the united states by the end of june. this will be more vaccines than any country has actually shared to date. five times more than any other country. more than russia and china, which have donated 15 million doses. you know, there's a lot of talk about russia and china influencing the world with vaccines. we want to lead the world with our values, with this demonstration of our innovation, ingenuity and fundamental decency of the american people. just as in world war ii, america was the arsenal of democracy. and during covid-19, we'll be the arsenal in vaccines. we will not use our vaccines to secure favors from other countries. we'll work with covax, the international organization set up, and other partners to ensure that the vaccines are delivered in a way that's equitable and follows the science and public health data. today's announcement to share 80 million doses is our next step as we ramp up the efforts to respond to covid-19 around the world. in the weeks ahead, working with the world's democracies, we'll coordin

the united states cannot do it alone. with all of us gathered here today i am very hopeful about what we can accomplish together. our administration is implementing a comprehensive strategy with governments and international institutions private sector, foundation and community organizations. the idea here is that our work will be coordinated and that every sector will have a role to play. first, regional governments. governments in the region can take on corruption, lift up their communities and provide safety and security or their citizens. for instance, last week i had a bilateral meeting with the guatemalan president. and we agreed to strengthen and cooperation, to shut down human traffickers and smugglers. from just a few days i will meet virtually with the president of mexico. and in a month from now i will visit both countries. second there is a role for government outside of the region. an international institutions. the united states and bassett are of the united nations is working within the un to support their

talking about of the united states not just being the number one but creative being that india. has if you will in the free world is supposed to be a minute that has to do with. this completion with russia isn't the end of logical struggle it's almost like he's did it because it best itself but if was talking about a go digital struggle. and the imminent victory or was 'd the soviet union as in need of socialism there's no way talking about of the united states being the need to of democracies and again being bowing to succeed but if you look not a pathetic but that what is it in a company think you can see that the united states and russia white's a speech because the future of the. united states and russia or has become different into this and very different venues but there at the same time was nations today allies you could go whoa is not a sensible option the brinksmanship is too dangerous and accordingly it is important to day identify it is a bit 8 foot no laws it isn't because we need to manage difference is you know one of the things i've been trying to understand dimit

as well as the banking system in the united states.ry banking transaction dependent on a timing signal from gps. bottom line is this. as the nasa administrator, i heard a lot about tang and velcro. and i'm here to tell you that that misses the economic impact from space for the everyday american citizen in a way that most americans don't realize it. but if we lose space, it is an existential threat to the united states of america. if we lose space, we lose the united states of america. that is how dependent we have become on our space-based capabilities, both commercially and then civilly and of course on the national security and defense side as well. so, nasa plays on the economic side in a very significant way, we talk about communication, navigation, production of food and energy and all these things. nasa is at the forefront leading those technological innovations and then commercializing them. but we're also using micro gravity to advance medicines. we can compound pharmaceuticals in micro gravity that you cannot do here on earth

the united states needs to press for a cease-fire. the united states cannot afford to simply allow for this escalation to continue. that's not in israel's best interest and it's not in america's best interest. my hope is in the conversations happening between the biden administration and the netanyahu government, that they are government, that they are >> thank you president washington for the invitation to speak today for the honorary degree. this is special to me for several reasons. many of my own students transferred here.

country right now probably would be the united states and not even the whole united states just these political elites that are trying to. argue what is an argument since its foundation that it's a democracy but that's a mockery of what actually what's actually happening on the grounds great when we come back we'll continue our conversation about the dispute between the palestinians and the israelis with the palestinian political activist dr sami al-arian. oh yes. i am. welcome back to on contact we continue our conversation about the disputes between the palestinians and the israelis with the palestinian activist dr sami al-arian so sami i want to talk about a couple things i want to focus on this very right wing shift within the israeli society something that i witnessed i 1st went to israel lived in jerusalem in the late eighty's it's a very different country but before we talk about that the biden ministration has been completely tone deaf there's no daylight between the kinds of statements that nancy pelosi or the secretary of state are making about what's happening especially in

they're very much intertwined with the out of the united states -- the history of the united states and also the history and the current events in terms of how federal government has chosen to not address this issue for decades. law enforcement agencies specifically have been very well aware of white nationalism, and yet there's been a whole security paradigm centered upon muslim -- innocent muslim americans and we have to ask why.which i have done in the book. so there's the answer in the book, but those disparities are what led me to the comparison aspect. >> right. absolutely. can you delve a little bit more into the question of goods, white genocide that kind of prominent among white nationalists. i referenced the genocide in the american history, the genocide of indigenous populations and there's something that has gained traction and you analyze the theme in your study of white nationalists. can you explain what drives this anxiety, real or perceived anxiety among white nationalists they're subject to some sort of cultural or racial extinction in the united states? >> that's a gre

incendiary materials and bombs in order, they hope, to set fire to the extensive forests in the western united states and western canada. there was -- on the american east coast there was a german submarine campaign, and off the state of north carolina, where i am now living, one can still see the wreckage of some of the very many ships that the germans sunk there. the german submarines made a tax all over -- made attacks all over the atlantic ocean and they got into the indian ocean. to make it easier for them, the japanese provided germany with a submarine base at pinang. the japanese in the early stages in a war against the u.s., britain, and the netherlands had occupied it, driven the british army into singapore where it surrendered, and because, unlike the germans, the japanese never use their submarines for merchant shipping attacks, but the germans loved to do that. the germans could send their submarines from ports in western europe through the atlantic around south africa into the indian ocean. they could use this space at pinang. it was another aspect of this german worldwide u-boat activit

all the time when you say i don't support white supremacy in the united states non and stand up against white supremacy. but i support the state of israel, who has nation state laws that are literally codified, discriminate against palestinians and other minorities in the state of israel. that literally treat palestinians who live within the israel, 2nd and 3rd class citizens. so that kind of, of what mark is talking about morally unsustainable is all hope inconsistent. and so i cannot trust you in the movement if your kind of lens around racial justice or justice in general is only in the american context. and you can't seem to apply that across the world. and that is kind of the tension that we found in the movement, particularly around policy. and for me it's not about palestine being a litmus test. i'm not, i don't test people at the door of the movements. i don't ask you what your position is on palestine, but it tell me a lot about who you are. if you can support a state like israel and be able to come to a movement and say black lives matter in the united states, it just doesn't.

united states. [applause] [cheers and applause] vice president harris: all righty then. president biden: they like you. vice president harris: good afternoon, everyone. good afternoon. let me start by saying to all of the leaders here, thank you. thank you. to the members of our united states congress, on both sides of the aisle, who helped pass the covid-19 hate crimes act, thank you. [applause] and a special thanks to senator hirono. [applause] and congresswoman grace meng. [applause] for leading this incredible effort. and i know you did not do it alone. and there are many more. i could name a -- many more i could name, a couple of whom i will. senator tammy duckworth. [applause] senator richard blumenthal. [applause] senator jerry moran. [applause] congresswoman judy chu. [applause] congressman don beyer. [applause] and congressman fred upton. [applause] because of you history will remember this day. and this moment. when our nation took action to combat hate. thank you all. around this time las

this shows you where all the chinese people in the united states are by state. and something becomes apparent almost immediately chinese people are clustered in certain areas. if an area has one or both of two things there will be a cluster of chinese ethnic people there. and these things are either economic. opportunity or institutions of higher learning people are clustered in places like the northeastern corridor. that's where i'm from. i'm from new york state actually, new york city to be exact. there's 576,952 chinese in new york state. well, i can assure you they are not upstate growing apples and making cheese. as you go across the country. the numbers get smaller and smaller there are spikes but each one of these spikes are predictable as a matter of fact in some cases for instance here, south dakota or wyoming i can assure you. there are more chinese people on this block than there are in the entire state of south dakota or wyoming. the number stays small until you reach. california and the bay area specifically the bay area why because you can go to th

up the empire of the united states both as settler colonialists in hawaii and as chief workers in the agricultural industry and seasonal workers of various specific states in the united states. and so taken together, right? i think many people here would say that your work is an incredible example right of how diplomatic history could be broadened. right. it's not just high treaties and different policies, but you looked at immigration citizenship naturalization laws. right as diplomatic tools and it's not just about diplomats in generals and these figures you looked at stewards and farm workers, right? and so that's diplomatic. history can be social history. and so it was such an amazing thing to read a book that did all these things. i actually have two main two major questions and they're big ones. okay, and they kind of also i enveloped him into comments and so and so forth. so and i i did i think the first one i'm asking you a big question. okay. all right, so of course, i'm gonna i want to return in this kind of question comment section right to probably one of the most intrigui

the strength of united states of america depends on the strength of all of the western hemisphere in so many ways our states are intertwined and that's especially true for latin american one of our fastest growing partners. to be sure a relationships to america's bigger than trade and their relationships are incredibly complex and at times have been incredibly complicated. today i want to make clear that art administration firmly believes in the potential of the region and in the power of the people of the region. latin americans are writing their own story. as i see it our role is to read those words, take them in and help however we can as latin america writes its own future. put another way the united states is committed to supporting the vision of the people in the region and their needs and their hopes for opportunity and their call for justice. eight years ago president joe biden addressed the conference then vice president he led our nation's diplomatic effort to end the northern triangle. recently he asked me to take the lead. this is the prior day for our nation and the role

earlier this week, the united states senate, united states made a public declaration what threats we face and how we'll engage with the international community to establish norms of behavior. this is a critical task. we rely on space for almost everything we do as society to include navigation, accurate time keeping, global communications and weather. the number of satellites in space from both government and private actors will increase nearly ten fold in the next decade. countries including china are developing the capabilities to disable or destroy satellites in space through missiles, cyberattacks or electronic warfare. as the united states plans are returned to the moon, that raises the importance of minimizing the risk of astronauts in space. congress must pay careful attention to all these issues and determine where the united states will stand on these crucial questions for space governance. this hearing will be one of the committee's first significant opportunities to address these issues and adhere directly from the administration what we're doing to build international rul

alliance with the anytime soon the jane use of that arsons could seem a little grievances against the united states they want to with the glow closely to give the but russia does not want to go to war when we get it going from patient 0 was a neg state because 'd of china and the same is separate the rule was that cheney and his visit onion former florida means the judge very. recently has shed tears but it's better for america and he complained the film game and that he did not want to win to promote new agreement nuclear disarmament agreement do we say you should put it so that russia does not strong alliances like the united states in building such alliances is not them to but i do think that if. 'd the united states a no careful with couldn't create some kind of talk then put it out arrangements between china and russia which would move because right in the lens but you know there was no lens good to him he had led stun but arrangement of this book on his mate could it was a to stop well what do we have to do but it careful nobody believes this you patient in the nuclear age you know dmitri a l

second, the united states has already agreed to high level digital trade principles. excuse me, agreements which japan and through usmca and third i think that digital trade also provides a real opening for pursuing a workers centric trade policy. and why do i say that? because inrs a digital trade agreement, you can include provisions on digital inclusiveness getting your population more digitally connected which covid is shown is so critical. second, i also think to digital trade agreement you can have robust kind of trade facilitation provisions that allow small and medium size enterprises which, you know, many of which are women or minority owns getting into trade game and this is not selling their products online. but it means voicing, it means e payment it is means e-marketing and i think this just opens up a wholevo new avenue for trade an, you know, more of our citizens from small companies to be engaged in international trade in a big way which i also think can help build support for, you know, global trade rules and u.s. engangment in global trade landscape.

will united states once again? we can find the children once again to those horrible conditions they are forced to live under today? and i hope my colleagues appreciate that we must not do that. and let us be clear it is not a terrorist organization it is a corrupt and repressive organization. but here is the irony. so hamas would be overjoyed. >> let us understand one of hamas'ep goals is to show palestinians they represent the real resistance senator scott helps them do just that senator scott is echoing its own argument it is the true face of the palestinian struggle. because my friends, day after day, year after year, decade afterpa decade palestinian activist struggle against occupation to be subsidize with billions of us taxpayer dollars. let us be clear. nobody is arguing that israel or any government does not have the right of self-defense we should understand that hamas firing rockets is absolutely unacceptable it goes much much deeper we are seeing a deepening from east jerusalem and that makes it increas

guy was a curmudgeon senator from alaska, the new state of alaska, that had only just become a united stateste. and this guy, senator gruning, was kind of a hard-nosed realist. he was doing a cost/benefit analysis. and his critique was i don't get it. why does it make sense for the united states to spend blood and treasure going to vietnam? there was no big moral critique. there was no larger issue about the meaning of americanness. it didn't add up for him. but, again, these are two senators. there's almost no visible critique as johnson launches what will quickly become an american war in vietnam. there were a few other voices, a few public voices that raised questions. mostly from that realist perspective. does this add up? hans morguenthou, a big name in the united states, at least in the academic community, he raised those issues. walter litman, a famous columnist, been making pronouncements about american policy for some 50 years. he raised some questions. he also critiqued this as a really -- just not a reasonable solution to america's interests in asia. but otherwise, remember, there

he asked me to join him for a discussion on manufacturing in the united states. d a lot on the renaissance of manufacturing from the midwest. illinois is a major manufacturing state. we have more tool and dye manufacturing than many other parts of the country. we are number one and number two depending on who has the biggest , order that week. i also was there for a meeting on aapi representation and issues of hate crimes against aapi. so yes, i have had multiple trips there already. david: the life of a senator is one where you are in the senate during the week, but typically weekends are every other weekend you have to go back to illinois , and you have to go meet with constituents and so forth. and then you have two young children, your husband. how do you have time for almost anything? sen. duckworth: i don't. i'm either at work or i am doing something with my kids. you know, you just make it work. in the book, i talk about how senator gillibrand gave me really good advice to set some boundaries. so i have some boundaries that i have set up that we don't mess

rather than 42 million people in the united states try to leave the united states?laughter] so well said the best measure of the kinds of freedom rights, dignity is afforded by a society is whether or not people are trying to leave believe in mask or arrive in mass. basic and look at the soviet union union a classic example people would do anything, anything to escape the soviet union and find a measure of freedom and human dignity. in the united states, we are the number one global destination for migration. and we have been for a very long time. the challenge that we have as a country then is to establish rules and conditions and to enforce laws governing who can and cannot enter. if you use position of the left, that every single person in the world who would stand to economically benefit from entering the u.s. should be allowed to enter the u.s., you would have to let in several billion people. you would seas to have a nation and border is not just a phenomenon from mexico and northern triangle as you know, i was at the white house for four years and what we saw

in a sense it is because a lot of the conventional discourse in the west in the united states and in the united kingdom in particular but also across the opinion is that these countries simple g. democracy and whatever they do is democratic by definition and it defines the political standards that the rest of the world should follow and this has always been a mistake it has always been misguided and these days each is becoming absurd now liberalism it can associated with a particular form of democracy since it came into being in the late 1970 s. early 1980 s. a form of democracy that was itself a thorn tarion think margaret thatcher think ronald reagan as the main political axis of now liberalism at bats time remember also that knowledge wisdom came in all the 1st versions of horrible authoritarian chile under general pinochet argentina under the military rulers of the make matching seventy's or turkey are after the military coup in 1900 schnauzer i know you identify yourself as a marxist and over the last couple of years meet seem. marxism and transnational capitalism and now liberal
