and the united states will not shrink from this challenge.[applause] >> under president trump's leadership, we will meet it head on to defend our nation and build a peaceful future, here on earth and in space. america will always seek peace, in space as on the earth, but history proves that peace only comes through strength. and in the realm of outer space, the united states space force will be that strength in the years ahead. [applause] >> now, the report the department of defense will release today that secretary mattis just referenced represents a critical step towards establishing the space force as a sixth branch of our armed forces. it actually identified four actions that we will take to evolve our space capabilities and they are built on the lessons of the past. we all remember the hard lesson learned in the early 80s as the tragic debacle of desert one took place. eight american patriots fell in the line of duty while trying to rescue their fellow americans who were being held hostage in iran. in the wake of that failed mission, ame

because the war wasn't fought throughout all of the united states and reconstruction only applied to certain states. i want to revisit some of the major themes we've explored this semester and i really want to move beyond the sites of battle between north and south. because when we do this, you actually see some really important continuities. last week and the week before, i talked about changes. today, i want to talk about continuities and changes. continuities that were well in place during the 19th century and changes that began before the civil war, continued after the civil war, and weren't caused entirely by it. and i want to do that by moving far afield from the places where most of the battles were fought during the civil war. i want to move to the northern plains. now, let me ask you a question. the last time we talked about the northern plains, when was it? what was going on there? what do you remember? anyone? come on. yes! front row? >> lewis and clark expedition had moved westward and they had made some contact with the -- dakota. >> yes. and what was the impact of the le

because of precisely the nature offered this situation and a fact that they don't trust of the united states and the mortgage on the iran issue even if they had been trying to work with them day saw that it is you know was take the unit out ready and without consideration of the consequences and most importantly iran is applied in by its own a big asian and therefore the europeans don't really see any reason why the j.c.a. should be jeopardized so i think the situation is very complicated i'm sorry i'm just going to have to interrupt you because we have actually reached the end of the show so i'm going to thank our guests even roger scott lucas and he said best suited to brissie a fake you two for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter a handle is at a.j. inside story from the head of the heavy and the whole team here in doha by for now . every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking sto

challenges in the united states. if you step back from it, the idea behind this 232 law and it was written in 1962 and it was a cold war area -- era statute. the notion was we don't want the united states to be overly reliant on imports for critical materials, particularly if those imports come from countries we don't want to rely on in a time of war. you step back and think about that from the perspective of steel, for example. of all the united states steel, 80% of it is domestically made. we are only importing 20% of our steel needs. are we critically reliant on imports for steel? no. arguably. and are we critically reliant on companies we don't want to trust in a time of war? emphatically, the number -- answer is no. our number one supplier is canada, followed by the eu, followed by mexico, followed by japan, followed by brazil. it is our allies providing our steel. in canada, 20% of the steel they send to us his armor plate. of all the countries we are not being harmed in terms of national security would be impo

but they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the united states. they're overwhelmingly rural people, and the countries they come from, fourth, fifth, sixth grade educations are kind of the norm. they're coming here for a reason, and i sim thympathize w the reason but the laws are the laws. >> he said that he sympathizes but you pointed out he doesn't empathize. he is essentially saying that, hey, they're not good enough for us. your mother, she went through a hard time, right, learning english, learning to assimilate. >> absolutely. it's not as if we can simply change our immigration laws so that we only admit pulitzer prize winners. when i look at someone like my mother, she's exactly the kind of person that john kelly is describing. she was born poor in a rural area, and she had a sixth grade education. nevertheless, she was a heroic woman who transformed her life in vietnam and in the united states. she was a refugee twice, once in each country, and it was because of her hard work and survival and courage that she produced people like me and my

the united states helped the extremists.tand back and allow syria or damascus have the black flags raise over them ? you may make that point, i'm more interested in what this means for iran. there's no question, it's quite obvious that iran's strategic commitment to its support of the assad government and its own military presence in syria is long—term, but it is also extremely expensive. one of the most respected experts on mid east politics and diplomacy, nadim shehadi, he reckons that it could have already cost iran up to 100 billion us dollars, all of its military and political commitment to the assad government since the war started. add to that the billion dollars or so every year that tehran spends on hezbollah in lebanon. add to that the cost now of iran's involvement in yemen as well, it comes back to what is sustainable and what is not sustainable in the context of the economy that we've discussed today. are you telling me that iran's foreign policy is sustainable in economic terms? stephen, let's not talk about ye

in the united states we spend 11%. so slight increases in food prices create instability in china and that is why they did this. the chinese have learned it was better to buy the coal mine. they come by all the pork they want on the commodities market, but they chose to buy this company. not only did they get this company, but they got all of the technology, the genetics, all kinds of very sophisticated technology that this company originally got from the department of agriculture on our tax dollars, which the chinese have it. the real problem is the pork is now coming back into the united state with the smithfield label. and so, you have no idea what you're really eating. we have a lot in the united states called for cool law and there are 18 exemptions. so you go when to paris and you want to buy pork, you look at the package you might say packaged in the united states are processed in the united states. it ultimately comes from china. i know from testimony that 85% comes from china, for example. if i have to laugh y

the united states saw soviet union ultimately as its chief enemy but then of course there were smaller ones like north vietnam in what became united vietnam, north korea and certainly the peoples republic of china. in fact, in the 1960s, the prc, the chinese had replaced the soviet union for a while as the lead -- being seen as the most hostile to the united states, but the -- but ultimately until late '80s, the soviet union was the overriding enemy for the united states from 1945 or at least the late '40s until the end of the cold war. >> our next carl is from michigan, ron, thank you for waiting. >> caller: good morning. in 1968 i was 19 years old. i had a four year apprentice for sheet metal. i said it was against the war. i volunteered to go to vietnam. they wanted to send me to -- but i had to go to vietnam. i had to work against the war. i saw that civil rights workers. i didn't have the courage -- i wanted -- while i was in transit to my station, i read bernard falls auto biography hoe chi men. i not only had to work against war but i had debt to pay to the vietnamese people for

. -- in the united states of america. which is why a mission created by president jimmy carter in 1980 found that the internment camps were, and i quote a grave injustice that stemmed from race prejudice war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership. it's why when awarding him the presidential medal of freedom in 1998, president clinton said in the long history of our country's constant search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls -- plessy, brown parks. to that distinguished list, today we add the name of fred koramatsu. fred koramatsu who challenged the legitimacy of internment camps under the constitution of the united states. in fact, just earlier this year, 2018 chief justice john roberts said koramatsu was gravely wrong the day it was decided. it has been overruled in the court of history and to be clear has no place in law under our constitution. so it was called a failure of political leadership that we established internment camps in world war ii, and it would be an enormo

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

ahead i don't think they want the chinese girl or the probably of china is not very good with the united states know that not only turkey is not going to process yes. process has just impost import tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of all sorts of chinese imports to the states china responded by a much smaller strike and tell me now who is trade here let me called c g m p and you know the dollars for just one year ago you said this we must promote trade and investment lieberman is asian and precipitation through opening up and say no to protectionism and of course this is exactly the rhetoric that the united states has been using against other countries for fifty years at least right now if you're in the region where there is a we're waiting for the development of an alternative global financial system and because we want it we see it right around the corner the problem is this is a decade long process on this lawmakers a lot of time and i mean global combining these are priced in dollars most of global capital flows will go is so china can begin to replace negus but they've got to do it a

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

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

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

it did indeed rescue britain but also rescued the united states. it mobilized the nation's industrial might from coast-to-coast, factories that had produced lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, textiles and adding machines started making shrapnel, gas masks, automatic pistols and high precision instruments. automobile factories began producing scout cars and engines for airplanes and the labor force was booming. millions of people and women of all ages stream into factories and works on assembly lines. vocational high schools were on overtime training and retraining american men and women for new roles in the workforce. the manager of the state employment service in the small city of york, pennsylvania, said in january 1941, a year ago our task was to find jobs for pooh-pooh. now our task is to find men for jobs. what about housing? all the new workers needed places to live near the factory so roosevelt set up an agency called the division of defense housing, that supervised the construction of 21/2 million new homes along with schools and recreational fac

and if the united states really wants to s stop the exodus from latin america to the united states, ift really wants sears relationship based on friendship, it has to begin by .hanging its own drug policy the anti-drug policy of the united states government is bound by its highest expression in military struggle and repression that is direcected agaiainst d drug users and agait those who produce the coca leaf. this is now making all of latin america bleed. it is leading to the violent deaths of latin american socieiy . at the same time, , it is leadig toto the deaths through overdose by not mitigating damages by more scientific-based u.s. society itself. i would invite the ambassador of the united states to the u.n. now that she is coming to bogota, to re-examine with scientists and objectively a drug policy that has b been profoundly c criminal and ineffective throughout the americicas. amy:y: gustavo petro, you said your own life is threatened. have you received death threats? >> yes. the last one i received was two weeks ago. pamphlet circulating against the main opposition leaders

the united states spent in syria.llions of dollars in wars in iraq, destroying iraq, destroying libya, helping the saudis destroy yemen, and to a dirty war in syria. they are the ones who have created this mess. let's bring it back to what is happening inside iran. you have not tried to dispute with me that economic times are tough and there is anger on the streets, we have all seen it. it is interesting to me that certain politicians, particularly former president ahmadinejad, are making calls for president rouhani to go and to go now. and even supreme leader ali khamenei is an it is afflicting a run. it does seem, and i know you don't like all this talk of hardliners against moderates and reformers, but it does seem, in the current context, as though the hardliners are making a concerted effort to regain complete political power in tehran. well, stephen, i am glad that you acknowledge in iran we have different legal parties with different political perspectives that argue with each other and carry out public debates

the united states and the soviet union ultimately, was the chief enemy, but there were smaller ones like north vietnam in what became communist control vietnam , united vietnam, north korea, and certainly the people's republic of china. 1960's, the prc, the chinese had replaced the soviet seen for a while as being as the most hostile to the united states. ultimately, until the late 1980's, the soviet union was the overriding enemy from the united lates from 1945 with the 1940's until the in of the cold war and gorbachev. host: the next caller is from michigan, ron, go ahead. they can for waiting period -- .hank you for waiting perio caller: i turned down my deferment and i volunteered to go to vietnam. to thented to send me preparatory school, but i had to go to vietnam, i had to work against the war. workers, i rights had to have a gun and bomb the funds go to work against this government. while it was in transit to my station, i read bernard falls autobiography, ho chi minh i learned my father who spent three years in the pacific, alcohol helped my father -- that war. were by identity

where the united states simply picks and chooses. the options it has it looks that most attractive prospects. that in a certain sense could be the art of the deal. that said, as i say, we do not have the context of an alliance. we have a good personal relationship between prime minister shinzo abe and president trump. i have been looking at this for 30 years. in tokyo now, one of the most sensitive ambassadors to the overall lay of the u.s./japan relationship on the economic site is not a specialist. but he has a good dcm. at the working level. as he said i do not say that as people know from any partisan point of view. i think having knowing those people is that working level. we have people involved. we have a good ambassador in india. some of the bases at the working levels, those bilateral relationships that does not neglect japan and and on indo pacific strategy. that is an important part of the broader u.s. commitment in the interests right now. the basis of that is there. i guess i reflexively look at the broken dialogue and a

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

that they actually are made in the united states the new agreement require seventy five percent of those cars and parts to be manufactured in the united states initially that agreement with just sixty two percent of what we saw were a lot of jobs going south of the border jobs donald trump says he will now be able to bring back to the united states so if there is this shaping out to be some something of a political victory for donald trump. it certainly is but it is a guarded one given the fact that this is just a bilateral agreement lauren and it has to be approved by the u.s. congress and the trade deal must be approved by the u.s. congress and they're going to be some republicans even members of the president's own party that could potentially push back because of some of the other trade disputes perhaps that it are affecting farmers so this is not a deal that has been sealed and the other thing after member in all of this is the nafta agreement is a trilateral trilateral deal right now we just have a bilateral agreement any changes to nafta must be signed onto by canada so w

banks sprouting up all across the united states. from three banks in 1790 to several hundred banks in the 1820s. banks are chartered by the states, stay within that particular state's boundary and showing their own currency. but sitting on top of those state banks is the mother bank, right? the chief bank, the central bank, the bank of the united states. and this is the second bank of the united states because, as you recall, from earlier in the semester, there was a first bank of the united states. 1791, alexander hamilton pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank, a private bank with stockholders and dividends. this bank, hamilton says, will benefit not only financial -- private financial interests but will benefit the country, the public. how will it benefit the public? because the treasury, the u.s. treasury, will deposit money in the bank, money coming in from taxes and the treasury can also borrow money from the bank. this bank has a 20-year charter but it has lots of opponents. you remember that chief oppo

and while senator mccain represented the united states well, here in the united states senate and in countries around the globe, you could tell that senator mccain cared and loved the people he represented at home. he respected them. he recognized that they were the ones who gave him the opportunity to perform on a national stage. and he never forgot arizonans. i appreciate the way that he and senator flake, his junior colleague from arizona, worked together on behalf of the citizens of his state. so while it would have been easy for john to play only the national figure, he never forgot from where he came. and while much of my comments today have paid my respect to senator mccain for his service to the united states senate, it is his service in the military, in the navy, that is most compelling to me. i've known this story throughout my life and it's been reported and repeated here on the senate floor, but i do not know a person who as a prisoner of war, given the opportunity to be released and to return home to family and loved ones, i do not know a person who would say no. i do no

the united states is the most powerful country in the world. and the most powerful member of the united nations security council, which all five permanent members are responsible for full implementation of the u.n. security council resolutions passed by themselves. now, not only the u.s. is violating the deal itself, but pushing the other international -- other countries, other members of permanent security council, to violate the u.n. security council. this is really something unprecedented and very, very strange. and at the same time, very dangerous for international peace, order, and security. amy: and can you talk about the effects of the sanctions reimposed last week by president trump against iran? >> i would say there would be an effect on iranian economy. iranians definitely would be harmed. i have no doubt about it. already we have seen some negative consequences on the iranian economy. however, i need to mention perhaps three points. the first point is the fact that iran has been under u.s. sanctions for 40 years. therefore, i can say

now, the united states your naughty, so in the united states that is the blanket policy they have.olicy. when you have blanket policy like that for individuals who are there to make an asylum claim in the united states, is it safe for them? >> they are going to be, are being challenged and there will be final decision on whether -- idle thank yous can can claim based on domestic violence of fling a criminal gang. and in canada as well we're looking at the issue of popular being recognized when they flee criminal gang. not with a link to the refugee. >> okay. it's interesting, at the moment there are 463 pairs of migrant children that are no longer present in the united states. that is over 2000 showed that were ripped away from their parents. that means those children are rendered orphans at the moment in the united states. the united states, a blanket policy that rejects asylum-seekers who show up at the border to seek asylum if their face with gang violence or domestic violence. this is the reality of what's happening on the ground in the united states. and so i would find it har

did leader of iran was overthrown in in the nineteenth fifty's by britain and the united states and the shah was in a store that was when the pillar was reinforced but the pillar collapsed in one nine hundred seventy nine with the revolution in iran and that has never been forgiven getting a rom the major ambition of the above and that's why we're coming to a very dangerous period when trump mosse ratify the agreement the a bomb assigned. with iran along with. the e.u. under which iran committed to its self as a frankly always had committed itself to a peaceful nuclear program in return sanctions were dropped and so on we have dangers you know the danger is that a presented to us that is so unnecessary why why are we why we threatening countries like iran which hasn't invaded anyone or about four hundred year is the don't threaten us why is anachronism like israel allowed to have it seemed punitive. why do we why do we believe these why do as you describe why do we journalists write down what governments tell us why don't they question them. it's just a few years ago exactly or was thos

the united states saw the soviet union as the chief enemy. there were smaller ones like north vietnam. than what became communist vietnam. north korea and the people's republic of china. in the 1960s, the prc had replaced the soviet union for a while as being seen as the most hostile. ultimately until the late 80s, the soviet union was the overriding enemy for the united states from 1945 until the end of the cold war. >>> the next callers from michigan. ron, go ahead. >> in 1968 i was 19 years old. after i saw walter cronkite i was against the war. i turned down my deferment and volunteered to go to vietnam. i had to work against the war. i had to have a gun and bombs to work against it. while i was in transit to my station, i learned that my father, uncle [null] helped my father survived the war. i had a debt to pay to the vietnamese people for helping my father stay alive. i got every antiwar paper, i got the black panther party papers. a past them out to gis. the biggest peace march was held . that is where i did most of my organizing. i r

the united states -- between the united states and canada we are producing lot of oil.cing it and it will force the prices down. adam: president trump is touting the surging red wave. but a few primary close calls may indicate the wave is receding a little bit. we'll tell you what that could mean for republicans in the mid-terms next. pretty much the . but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. they said i had afib. what's afib? i knew that meant i was at a greater risk of stroke. i needed answers. my doctor and i chose xarelto® to help keep me protected from a stro

united states no longer with the domestic shale doesn't need the saudi oil talk about that for a second the united states domestic shell the numbers are pretty impressive it's surprising i've done a lot of research on that recently the cost of shale used to be a few years ago ninety dollars a barrel there break even costs are down to forty course each beach area basin is a little bit different but they expect this to go under twenty so the technology behind the show is making us completely independent oil oil wise and they would be may become a major export so this is the us the ability to be more insular absolutely the reason for control for having the blue water navy controlling all those global common areas is called the incentive to do that will get less and less the incentive for china to get greater and greater as they have to go and secure all those resources across the globe so let's talk a little bit about the social scene if you well in china so they have the social score the credit score which keeps citizens in check you know the everyone has like their own personal

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

valuables in many ways the atlantic alliance from the late forty's on which was one in which the united states was to create an economic price for security and geopolitical advantage and so the marshall plan which meant that the worst trade imbalance was a. stupid economies and initially it expanded our states but overall everybody benefited now trump is saying it has to be a cost benefit analysis on that basis and putting america first needs america to come out on top and of course in schools the serious problems to european interest . for votes in general because. most of the works in all sorts directions the room do so actions on russia and so on which have a big effect and then also try. to cuba it's a view of the world which the european. media regards with horns so there's a problem and ends but we with the british are supposed to. they find themselves challenge to you know a plea but also challenge to some extent on what is probably except we're here of course couldn't go on tweeting about things in britain verge of going against the grain of british. it if i can stay with stay with me

now, one understands the demands of domestic politics in the united states. it was domestic politics that led president obama to announce a schedule for withdrawal of troops after injecting them into afghanistan in a significant number which some of us have argued actually gave -- to the taliban. .. >> from 2012 to 2013. to my right is not necessarily politically -- to my right is mr. david sedney, former president of american university of afghanistan and senior associate of the certain for strategic and international studies. david has served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for afghanistan, pakistan and central asia from 2009 to 2013 and as deputy assistant secretary of defense for east asia from 2007 to 2009. he is widely seen as a friend of the afghan people. he was deputy chief of mission at the u.s. embassy in beijing, ca kabul and baku, and he was also detailed twice the national security council. so let's begin our discussion, gentlemen, and my first question to the ambassador is 17 years, people who just count time or measure everything by t

united states. i think there is a crisis of the west and in a way it's something which the elites in the major don't really notice struck me that nature has just held its first meeting in its new purpose built courtrooms and the only more of sociology that i respect is social buckets and more than any organization that moves into a brand new waters will go bust within a few months and one fears that we have this kind of institutional inertia that i can't really imagine of the architecture of the previous decades is seeing its foundation sent away by the very popular consent which after all was the basis of the democratic. ok my goal in watching the last forty seconds of the program goes to you go ahead. you know i think what we saw what fundamentally what we're seeing is that the erosion of that unilateral world order and it's big and it's beginning to catch up to riyadh reality is beginning to catch up to the europeans just like with three some may she's doing brecht's it of course that she look to

united states is a mistake because we've already negotiated with with americans and both. on the sidelines of the j c p o a negotiations as well as. in the five plus one meetings excessively our foreign minister had perhaps hundreds of hours of direct and one to one and group negotiations and ultimately the deal failed and when the united states when the president tears apart the nuclear agreement that means that the iranians really don't have anything to talk about because hypothetically if you run has a nother negotiation settlement they settle something in future with americans who say that they're not going to tear apart those agreements in future and also of course the iranians believe that appeasing the united states government or trump is of no use because it will only make him more aggressive so while there is difficulty in tehran and the economic situation is is is difficult for an iranian without a doubt and it will continue to be difficult in the coming months i think that iranians recognize that trump is not someone who you can negotiate with and on the other h

throughout this program which also leads to an increase in confrontation in the middle east should the united states be sent a similar signal that this is not the kind of behavior that its european allies welcome on the international arena. leaders around the world including from our closest allies have condemned this decision and the very fact that europe has now shifted from negotiating with the united states to negotiating with iran is a strong rebuke to the decision that president trump made i would i describe president obama's leadership on sanctions with iran with russia with other countries a little bit differently from what you did i don't think it's a question about germany making a moral stand or a value judgment what i would say is that we were able to convince countries around the world that on a variety of problems we had a plan and a way forward and that if countries were willing to suffer a certain amount of economic dislocation in the short term we can solve real problems and so in the iran case we were able to convince the government of russia china india as well as our closest alli

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

citizen living in the united states of america was fired by marriott hotel because of a social media post that china complained about. that happened, and you see it most recently by american and united airlines be forced to change how they describe taiwan on their website or they would not be allowed to continue to fly to china. the tactic they use over and over again is not sweeping changes. it's typically slow but incremental, yet mortgage assertive demands -- yet more assertive demands. these new demands end up sustaining a new normal. it is very much like the example of the frog in the boiling pot of water. you throw the frog in the boiling pot of water. it jumps out right away. if you put it in a cold pot of water and slowly boil it, it will boil to death and not even know it is boiling and that is what china is doing to the united states and to the world. and the only thing that they respond to -- there are only two things that china responds to when you confront them to this. the first is a committed and sustained escalation across the entire relationship between us and them. a

r the united states and mexico. the first reason for this call, mr. president is first of all to celebrate the understanding we have had between both negotiating teams. on nafta. this interest we have had for quite a few months now. to renew it, to modernize it, to update it, and generally a -- generate a framework that would attend she productivity in north america. it is our wish, mr. president, that now, canada will also be able to be incorporated in all of this. and i assume that they are going to carry on negotiations on the sensitive bilateral issues between canada and the united states. and i am really grateful, mr. president. i want to tell you that i recognize and acknowledge your political will and your participation in this. and on the same path, i want to bear my testimony, mr. president and my acknowledgment to both negotiating teams. especially that the team is headed by mr. robert lighthizer. and also the accompaniment and support we have had from the white house through jared kushner. and i also extend this recognition to the mexican t

even prior to the united states' entry. but there's no sense that fdr opposed hoover's intel work urt. hoover renews this, his renewal of investigative activities. is authorized outside the courts. he goes outside of congress to get legislative approval. congress is very suspicious of the bureau of investigation being created in the first place, concerned about creating a secret state police force. horn warned fdr that haters will twist the truth. so fdr the resumption of political spying. fdr supports hoover's suggestion which does not come to pass, to have every person in america fingerprinted. the newest technology at the moment. when the aclu complains about surveillance of pacifist groups, groups that don't want it go to war in europe. fdr responds in writing that he sees nothing wrong with investigating groups that spread quote false information and engage in false teachings. worth noting his healouse had b bombed, so that certainly colored his views of political disdeaths. and political opponents, he has the fbi inve

reported and under estimated the key foreign policy person that trump has turned to in in the united states has been henry kissinger henry kissinger the former secretary of state to nixon who brokered the u.s. opening to china is someone who takes we know what kissinger's views are and we know that trump has met with him from during the campaign in two thousand and sixteen throughout his presidency and that view is one that looks at strong states assesses whether those states are strong where the those governments are strong and whether u.s. president can actually work with the person in charge of those states so here in washington that's often derided how trying to trump implements that is that trump somehow just likes dictators but he doesn't like all dictators he's looking at leaders who are strong and who he either can or needs to work with and then he seems to try to set up these rhetorical poses to put himself in a position to be able to strike some sort of deal with those leaders and work with those states so i think if you take a sober analysis of what trump is doing and admittedly

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

pressure fell on the , jeannettee left rankin, also a republican, first woman to be elected to the united states congress, from montana, one of the 11 states where women could vote. and she was a sensation. the whole country was interested in this idea of a woman congressman. what will that be like? she embarked on a 20-city speaking tour in the beginning of march. crowds, thousands came out to her, to seehear what she was going to say. she believed very strongly in getting a suffrage amendment. her primary goal was to get the vote for women across the country. opponentlso a strong of the anaconda mining company. it owned montana. she was very much opposed to the rockefellers through various holding companies. she believed in federal help for health care for young children and for new mothers. she believed in probation and she believed in help for ranchers. she was quite popular in montana. i just want to give you a little bit of a sense of what it was on her opening address of her 20-city speaking to her. this was in new york city, at connie hall. 3000 people in the audience. she talked about h

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

the united states would have no rights to make claims to other states to request those other states to comply with their obligations so we only see a return to what you might call the wild west of retaliation and counter-retaliation right there so that but what a what a long way from that let's talk about the nafta. negotiations because donald trump is as at least being consistent if this is a president who is not a fan of multilateral trade deals he described the north america free trade agreement as the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere and the killer of u.s. jobs here is what i can understand about this this is a three way deal between canada the united states and mexico how does mr trump been able to turn what was a three way deal into two bilateral deals u.s. canada and us mexico. well in order to turn it into two biological deals he would have to withdraw the united states from the existing agreements and enter into new agreements with the two states but let me say that what he has negotiated with mexico he concluded preliminary in the negotiations with mexico couple

yeah i think i think that the united states and the e.u. are going to be very surprised to see a very strong air go on a very determined air they want to not buckle and what we saw in turkey last week and we discussed this peter what we saw in turkey was a turkey that is exploring its options we saw that going to the brics meeting we saw china and russia all the brics members very happy to have turkey on board and we're seeing turkey now even examining even examining it considering its nato membership and this is huge is the geo political earthquake to see turkey it's like greggs it shifted it's like my friends it it's a brags that here it is flirting right now it's the in the bazaar right now because i don't see them leaving nato any time soon but it's planting the seed we have options we have friends that's already been excluded from the united states weapons program i mean it's syrian and all of that rhetoric between turkey and the you of was all full in the last few months so basically all of this adventure in the me there was that mr o

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

and i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own console and yet mr blank you suggested before that in the event of trying to pull out your of will likely side with the united states even if it blames the current administration for ruining this deal and if it does i think the european leaders will essentially have to accept that their level of credibility is the same as trump is that they are moral equals and i personally don't think there's much trouble on that side as far as the u.k. is concerned but when it comes to germany when it comes to france. do you think they can afford it from a moral point of view do you think chancellor merkel for one can bring herself to be seen as standing shoulder to shoulder with trump and that well first of all i think that's a little bit unfair trump is the trump is the actor he is the decision maker in this terrible decision the european leaders are now stuck with a series of very uncomfortable
