well you know saudi arabia needs the united states alliance and i think the united states is playing. when it's you know it's blowing kisses in saudi arabia it's protected saudi arabia from the shop she is fair to a certain degree by the president saying that it's not clear that the king is involved in ness of course pompei of his message was the people who carried out the murder have to be punished which which. plex a certain amount of pain on the crown prince because it's going to see inside the kingdom it's going to be seen as disloyalty and but on the other hand it is trying to get beyond this relationship there is talk about trying to clean up yemen situation all of these are monstrous undertakings unlikely to be resolved anytime soon so the united states has a lot of heavy lifting to do to try to bring unity back to arab ranks because the arab unity is completely fallen apart over the last you know the last seven eight years. tell us about iran's relationship with qatar and how that plays into the into the strategic game play if you like i mean a sense. since maybe the ninety se

the united states wants to build a wall between mexico but it's building a -- wall. many of the points made by secretary of state pompeo are in line with the language of the cold war, mccarthy, nixon. they're bringing the corlede -- cold war back. they're bringing the monroe document of 1823. -- in 1929 that the united states, which appeared destined by fate to impose misery on latin america. he predicted that. that is what the united states has done. you know, since the beginning of these unilateral and measures that are in breach of nternational law in venezuela, december of last year, you know what the cost has been? 23 billion. due to the blockade and to the persecution, to undermining our resources, and would the venezuelan economy be in this state if they had these resources? $20 million were offered through the o.a.s. then taken away. the ambassador of belgium. $1.2 billion are froze than belgium. we can't conduct any banking transactions. this is what is being done against the venezuelan people. the representative of russia was quite clear. there's no such thi

given that the united states has said it's going to leave and i think given no no matter what the united states says because there is a sense that one way or another the united states is going to be taking off they're going to try to reach an agreement with the assad government with moscow's backing to make sure that while this is not their first choice it's still something they prefer to a turkish invasion and there. could well be what we see going forward my one couple on your thoughts if the united states leave who fills the void well it depends on how the united states will leave actually because if there is an agreement with turkey which is something that i believe now is not is not actually. something that we should expect to have soon given the failure of the bolt on visit to to ankara today so will we still need to see actually who is going to. take advantage of this disagreement between turkey and the united states now it seems to me that we are back to square one between two of the united states concerning the area but let's assume that the americans are withdrawing without an

we want to ask him directly, does that mean the united states is ready to use military force against a sovereign state under a bogus pretext? here in this room we need to hear a clear answer. secretary of state pompeo claims china, russia, cuba, syria and iran are supporting maduro. his secretary of state would find time to stay in this room a little longer, he would hear directly how these countries are not there to regime, theyaduro are there to support international law. of they in the context notion of a rules-based order promoted by our colleagues, such actions of overthrowing rogue regimes are welcomed by them. internationalists qualify such ,iolations of the u.n. charter behavior unacceptable that undermines the principles of the u.n. charter and the basic norms of international behavior. we would also like to address our latin american partners. in case you continue with you actions, the illegality of what is taking place in venezuela is flagrant and leadership salutes this in following washington, rubberstamps threatening against an independent state. to resolve the venezuela

and china and united states in canada in china in terms of arrests there in this case is that again it's not their random interaction that here they are talking specifically about americans being approached by russians who seem to be friendly reach into the borders of mr brennan is most unusual get it's not surprising to me that someone coming from an intelligence background has that kind of perspective on russians just randomly interacting with them that said i agree with you that if you're an ordinary american who doesn't have any affiliations with the united states government who doesn't have any affiliations with what would be considered aspects of the national security sector no that's a guy that's concluded that is somewhat exaggerated i'm perfectly happy to agree i heard you say that that while you yourself dislike conspiracy theories there is just too much smoke around trump for there to be no fire how much of that smoke is genuine and how much of that is created by segments like this the last time we talked was two was twenty sixteen i believe in its worst case or the

to continue to contribute to the dangerous and often fatal effects of illicit drug use in the united states. we will continue to work with our international partners across the federal government and with our partners at the state, local and tribal levels to reduce the availability of illicit drugs in the united states and decrease the profound effects they are having in our communities. the american people should expect nothing less from us. thank you for the opportunity to testify today and i'll be happy to answer your questions. >> thank you mr. chester. miss ayala. >> chairman cornyn, ranking member durbin, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. u.s. immigration and customs enforcement govern laws governing border patrol and customs enforcement to promote homeland security. i.c.e. has three directorates, homeland security investigations, and the office of principle legal adviser employing more than 20,000 employees in over 200 offices across the u.s. and 50 countries. today i will provide i.c.e.'s perspective on the challenges we face, the sophisticated smuggling thre

is going to do once it understands where the united states or what the united states wants to do then it can act in everyone is not a man known for his patience go ahead joshua. well you're absolutely right that the kurdish problem it turns out to be a problem for everybody nobody really knows what to do with it not america not turkey not syria not iraq and and this is you know with the collapse of the syrian central state during the civil war us side in many ways handed off eastern northeastern syria to the kurds into the y.p. g.m. and then america which had been helping the arab militias against us side hoping to overthrow the regime put in a pro-american regime that would make peace with israel this completely collapsed and so the united states was left siding with the kurds to fight isis these this very reliant sunni kayla full group that was trying to build this big caillat and that that caused in a sense the united states to side with the allies of us if you would but now that they're withdrawing everybody is no none of the regional powers want there to be an independent or auto

the united states also is working to keep the bilateral relationship strong. over the next few days uae oman and kuwait will talk about our shared goals just as we did at jordan and iraq this week as we seek an even stronger partnership and then to that creative energy of free and open exchange of ideas the progress made can continue also applaud the efforts to promote religious freedom which is an example for all leaders and all people of the middle east and i was happy to see her citizens were wrongly convicted finally be acquitted. we strongly support egyptian tilot to be amended so it does not happen again more work needs to be done to maximize the potential of the egyptian nation and itsan people i'm glad america will be a partner in those efforts. i will close with a couple final thoughts, it's never easy to recognize truth but when we see it, america has been criticized to do too much in the middle east and too little but one thing we have never been is an empire builder or a oppressor. just look at our history together which i have recounted today look

under crean disrupting chemicals in the united states. produce disease caused that twice as much as in europe where the regulation is much tighter i wonder if you faced any pushback on that under study not only from the industry but also from the political class because ultimately these results are a comment on the role of the government. we know that policy predicts exposure exposure predicts disease and disease costs us all as a society what's striking about the difference in our cost estimates between the european union and the united states is the differences in policy that drive those differences in costs so in the united states we proactively required brominated flame retardants to be put into furniture and carpeting among other things and that's resulted in extremely higher levels of those flame retardants in the human bodies of americans as opposed to europeans and that ultimately has affected the cognitive outcomes of literally a generation of american children whereas you're a pro actively acted to ban those flame retardants fro

international effort and that it's not simply positioned as maduro versus trump or maduro versus the united states. >> uh-huh. the orkts oas, of course, the organization of american states. some have also said that what happened in the last 24 hours looks suspiciously coordinated. in other words, juan guaido declared himself interim president. then the president of the united states immediately tweeted support. then other allies did as well. it just all seemed to happen in lockst lockstep like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle were ready do be implemented. how read in were you on the intelligence of this, given that you're chairman of the intelligence committee and what can you say to these questions? >> you know, i have been read in. we have been provided intelligence by our agencies on the situation over time. and up until recently. that's not really something i'm able to discuss here, but i do think that the policies that we're articulating in terms of support for the venezuelan people are well grounded. and i can only hope that this administration can also execute them well. we want to obviously stay

the united states to lead. and now we withdraw but also this constant from a very sized ministration or very extreme one one i have to point out that lost the election by three million votes and based on the midterm results is not likely to be around it after twenty twenty and so very likely these decisions will then be reversed so my advice to the rest of the world is take a deep breath and america will be back. in france president mccrone used his new year's speech to head out into extremist elements in the country. winners of all see it we have perience great division and anger broke out anger against injustices against the course of a sometimes in comprehensible globalization against an administrative system that's become too complex and lacking in empathy there was also anger against profound changes that call into question our society's identity and direction this anger has shown me one thing no matter how excessive or overflowing it is we will not quit cold across message didn't go down well with opposit

the thing is, here in the united states can -- not in the united states, not the people of the unitedtates, but the elite that is in power that is ruling the united states, they believe that latin america -- they want to impose their model. they want to have this presidents were also businessmen and follow the orders of the president of the united states. but we are not, so we're trying to build our own society in new terms, with equality, with access to health, to education, housing, to culture. and that is our struggle. of course, what happens is in those terms, the u.s. elite and other countries, satellite countries of the united states, they are trying to isolate venezuela, trying to stop this from happening. it is not going to happen. but this is a difficult struggle, amy. we are really looking and pressing desk president maduro has looked for dialogue. we had a dialogue process last year with the opposition in the dominican republic, hosted by the dominican republic in the former president of spain. when we reached the agreement, we were there to sign the agreement, the oppositi

the interior of the united states.what we found is the homicide rate in those counties is about 25% below that of the rest of the united states. if the rest of the trait was as peaceful as as border counties are in terms of the homicide rate, the would be about 5700 fewer homicides in the united states in 2017 relative to what they really were. there's crime on the border, homicide on the border, lots of different crimes that occur there but compared to the rest of the country it's more peaceful than people giveeo cret for. >> host: thankre you institute, we might people at the cato institute does. >> guest: it's a libertarian think tank based in washington, d.c. we research basically every single public policy issue from the perspective of support for free markets, limited government, individual liberty and a peaceful non-interventionist foreign policy. >> host: if you had $5.7 billion invest in solving thee immigration issue at the border, , howrd would you inves? >> guest: the number think we need to do is to make i

united states. trump. choose into the you who are the people who are these terrorist groups or if you're ultimately agree with mr trump in the in these coalition he wanted to in a chain to win the chamber you follow the same policy that. created do you think you may have other things in common with mr trump and at least in the way how he conceptualizes there is no newcomer in purposes a common policy between us and the sitra and there could be no more overlap of of us on how the region develops we're not. because we know that. he has his you know any policy you know or the war you're against any kind o. expansionism and any kind of his unit where you notice it or any other country now as the americans keep on insisting on the. removal of the iranian presence as they put it in syria they and their allies seem to be in trenching and the system you're freydis and i'm sure you know the mr trump's current national security advisor mr bolton wants advocated for the creation of the so-called sunni stand a quasi s

oversight in the united states and whereas the e.p.a. updated its regulation very recently the food and drug administration still operates on a framework that assumes that the do is prove makes the proverbial poison and the reality is that even the f.d.a. own science suggests effects at low levels of exposure one thing that absolutely astounded me and that i didn't know before is that the f.d.a. does not have the authority to up to date or or reassess the safety of chemicals we are already on the market which is quite scary knowing how much both the bio chemical and medical industries have progress doesn't mean that once the chemical is on the market it will be on the market for ever unless the producer wants to replace it with something safer well fortunately we're seeing a lot of attention to what we call the generally recognized as safe or grass loophole there are a lot of proposals underway to modernize the food drug and cosmetic act in the united states so that we can have a framework that's clearer and more protective of human heal

i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by one god oh the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira your syrup or we set a seat in the vice president of the united states broke the rules of the game he spots while talking in that video he was drooling his eyes were moving like this what did he smoke and you don't know nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power i've made the decision and given a no just the chance through the republic to initiate a total absolute revision of our relations with the government of the united states of america the u.s. government is openly taking sides in venezuela's internal affairs right here now the country is once again a hot spot as president by dros inauguration was branded illegitimate and himself branded a usurper opposition leader one white though says he's ready to take over as the country's leader he's declared himself to be the interim president and he refuses to recognize the inauguration of president by duro

you mentioned them as is an american born american citizen she's a journalism graduate from the united states she studied at louisiana state university and graduated many decades ago she has decades of experience in journalism and her family are very concerned and they have very little information of what is going on they know she is detained without charge and they are very very concerned about you say you spoke to her daughter about an hour ago before you came on. what was your conversation about are you able to tell us what was said. look at the moment there are very many questions and very little what we do you know what the family do know is that magazine was taken in tunnel flight you have the correct information there in the lead up but actually many press outlets incorrectly saying that she was arrested coming into the united states that's not what happened was he was in the united states she was taking in an tunnel flight from st louis to denver where she was detained and then she was transferred to washington d.c. the only the only information and contact the family have had with ma

and compare later on after the three this later took the matter to the security council of the united states where he was also depleted and where the majority of the countries in that meeting took the decision to actually more or less the same as they are going to such an american state and we're talking about china russia mexico's of the africa and other big players so the united states actually totally ignores these recommendations these decisions and this defeats and continues unabated with their absolutely terminally fanatic regime change agenda and all it's going to do is contacts us surveyed the situation in venezuela by making it worse if the united states really wanted to help venezuela what it could do is to lift all the sanctions immediately so the. poor people have and some of us have doesn't have to have to suffer that much ok i have a i know you going to have to leave soon i mean there was a there was a spanish initiative there over the course of two years to do you negotiate between the government and the opposition and at the very last after two years of hard work goodwill on

to new sanctions can be implemented against turkey and it won't have any effect on the united states is completely false both from an economic point of view and from the point of view of the military alliance which is about to celebrate its seventieth anniversary an offensive i should say an offensive military alliance the nato alliance it has been from its beginning in one nine hundred forty nine but i think that again the leaders in the pentagon and in the foreign policy establishment of the united states are extremely concerned about where trump is doing well trump announced the pullout from syria about some months ago saying it would happen within thirty days but then if the two thousand will say u.s. troops have left yet what's holding them back well again there is a big division inside the ruling elite in the united states in the establishment the real chorus stablished of. where i think many of the leading figures consider troops proclamation of in his his his very impulsive statements as posing a danger to u.s. worldwide interest and those u.s. worldwide interest are the inte

and when you have seen the united states step away from the world stage, when you have seen the unitedtates the isolationist in its approach, it has been able to sustain that for a short period of time, but in the variably, what it has had to do is to deal with the realities of what is happening around the world. and we have seen over the last 20, 25 years, a truly extraordinary set of events which has meant that the united states has been the sole superpower on the world stage. but that world. and that chapter has come and is rapidly coming to a close. so how does the united states amplify and magnify its strength, and it has to be through those alliances? you would probably say that is not surprising, coming from a uk defense secretary. but actually, it puts a responsibility on allies themselves, because actually the point about other nations paying their way, contributing, actually stepping to the mark in terms of what it spends on defense is absolutely right. it shouldn't just be the united states, britain and a few other countries that are spending a minimum of 2%, and we shouldn'

, and i believe the united states even with changes in the distribution of power and other actors from being the only actor in the world today capable of continuing to play that role and in order to do so, it cannot be seen as just a normal great power looking out fo for rome in its own interest. to effectively play that role it has to be an unusual great power that looks out for the common interest as well as its own interest and so exceptionalism comes into that in an important way. then secondly, at a moment when the debate over the future of the foreign policies within the united states is being shaped by this but i believe to be a false choice between nationalism and globalism is the idea of exceptionalism can contribute to the idea that there is no inconsistency between american patriotism and internationalism, which is to say for the american people, they can see a larger purpose that goes beyond simply looking out for the u.s. at the expense of others but rather thinking about how to provide that securing america's national interest while also contributing to the common go

it is totally controlled by the united states. a person put into guantanamo has no access and cuban courts. it's like putting a cuban stamp on it and trying to mail it to fidel castro would not work. it is totally un-american place. so the courts feel that this is really america and what a sham to say it's beyond that. the dc circuit rejected a similar claim with respect to margaret. with people being held there because it said look it is a foreign territory and it is still foreign control and the inclusion of the united states law there to supersede the local law really isn't right. i think the courts will go along with that and say if you have a place in a foreign country where foreign officials are involved and foreign courts could even be appealed to, the united states washing the pipe. the real answer is this is a discussing things to do and the united states should not be involved in it allowing torture of people whatever it is it's a political decision that should not be made. >>> while it definitely -- here in a rock in ye

now it's the president of the united states of america. the president of the united states of america, while he is president. not just in the campaign. this is huge. this is big. >> april, susan, thank you very much. i appreciate it. just minutes away from the longest government shutdown in history. we'll be right back. >> thanks for watching everyone, and before we leave you, here's a look at a new cnn series called american style that premieres sunday night right here on cnn. >> 40s and 50s were definitely america finding itself. >> americans felt very second rate when comparing ourselves to europe. >> sportswear was the defining style of the united states. >> the bikini was the biggest thing since the atom bomb. >> when you look at hippy culture, it's really oppositional to the vietnam war. >> disco was very important in terms of people being free to express themselves. >> in the 80s, it was a lot of excess in every way. >> we have our ralph laurens and. >> his underwear add stopped traffic in times square. >> by the 90s and 2000s, thin

the united states to leave. and now we withdraw but also this concept from a very good sized ministration or very extreme one one i have to point out that lost the election by three million votes and based on the midterm results is not likely to be around it after twenty twenty five and so very likely these decisions will then be reversed so my advice to the rest of the world is take a deep breath and america will be back in. two thousand and nineteen has the right and this received a warm welcome ever on the wealth people from all walks of life have run in the new year from the middle east to the capital so if you are at new year's celebrations hold a very special place from hot suppressions take care of some of the best moments from around the globe. my up my up oh oh. i. thought the i. thought. i. was. going out states with the latest playboy nice feelin pay to miss time with more of a. country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think i got it hit the road and get out the traveling across america t

which came to affect how the united states interacted in the world. my book emphasizes the importance of bidirectional flows to the history of u.s. foreign affairs, contributing to a post-exceptional list understanding of american history. the remainder of my talk will be divided into three parts. the first part, the ideological origins of social science-based policymaking, examines the expenses that compelled a generation of exiled social scientists to leave the university to become part of the u.s. foreign-policy establishment. the second part, the rise of the defense intellectual, examines the contingencies that allowed exiles to occupy positions of foreign policy a 30. and finally, a third part demonstrates the influence exiles had on specific foreign policies, highlighting the importance of ideas and the policymaking process. to put the last point into context, many historians have argued intellectuals have provided little bit ad hoc justifications to already determined decisions. what i would like to show here is that is not the case. intellectu

of the united states but the situation. with the murder of. doug is off concern and he needs it to be dealt with before the two allies can move forward in their relationship this is if you remember in reference to the united states president saying that he believes that the cia did not conclude that jamal fog killing and the order of that killing came directly from the top of visit the crown prince mohammed bin selma of the u.s. intelligence as well as the turkish intelligence have pointed the their fingers two words mohamed been summoned saying that it could not have happened that the saudi journalist could have been brought to the consulate inside turkey and killed without the authorization or knowledge of the supreme command and lindsey graham reiterating those lines saying that he wants that situation to be dealt with now what does that mean that means that he's taking a line which is in contrast to what his president has been saying he's taking a line which is very close to what turkey has been saying over turkey has not named mohamed bee

the united states to the league. and now we withdraw but also this concept from a very good sized ministration are very extreme one one i have to point out that lost the election by three million votes and based on the midterm results is not likely to be around it after twenty twenty five and so very likely these decisions will then be reversed so my advice to the rest of the world is take a deep breath and america will be back in. the north korean leader meanwhile delivered a stern warning to the united states in his new year's address kim jong un said that while his country is still intent on denuclearizing washington must lift sanctions if it wants to see further progress. if the u.s. does not keep its promise made in front of the whole world i misjudged patience and didn't see sanctions and pressures on a republic we might be left with no choice but to consider a new way to safeguard our sovereignty and interests and establish peace and stability on the korean peninsula. the relations between the united states an

will the united states raise a complaint if nothing else with the havana regime? mr. bolton: as you know secretary of state pompeo discussed the o.a.s. general assembly a few days ago. we expect more in the coming days. because as both secretary mnuchin and i said, we know what the legitimate government of venezuela is. and it's our mission now to make a full reality in venezuela. what the people of venezuela themselves want. reporter: do you have -- indiscernible] reporter: if you don't mind turning your attention to the talks, the talks with china. in your opinion, where does all that stand right now? are you comfortable with progress that's been made in the last couple weeks, larry kudlow said talks over the next couple days will be -- is that your assessment? secretary mnuchin: i think we had talks between the two presidents which is an important time. e sent a team over to beijing. there were very significant discussions over that period of time. we had conversations since then. ambassador lighthizer and i are looking forward to the two days of talks. the presiden

the united states is trying to be in a region. when they are there the only job thier doing and they have shown that they do is creation of interest groups who are risking tone during the time his tenure in the foreign ministry he. has so a meeting the. she. has dissipated in the creation of the terrorist group in syria and iraq if you recall in the. states. then trump. choose into the you who are the people who are these terrorist groups here ultimately agree with mr trump in the in these coalition he wanted to again change to the only change you followed the same policy that. created do you think you may have other things in common with mr trump and at least in the way how he conceptualizes there is no newcomer in purposes a common policy between us and the search. and there could be no more overlap of of us on how the region develops we're not. because we know that. he. has you know any policy you know or the war you're against any kind o. expansionism and any kind of his unit where you notice it or any other country now as the
