the united states had a real problem. systemp is envisioning a that will encourage the rapid occupation and settlement of a gigantic new territory of land, but as people take up the challenge or the promise of the possibility, there is very good possibility that the united states would not be the superintending power that would best serve their interests. and there are periods in the early republic was a lot of people -- when a lot of people in the southwest were as interested in spain as a possible ally as they were in the united states. student: wasn't the oregon territory -- i may be overstepping a little bit, but wasn't the org on territory split between britain and the united states for a good -- oregon territory split between britain and the united states for a good long time? eric: it was split. -- it is notolved clear until the 1840's that that boundary would be result without theght, but originally dividing line between u.s. and british claims in oregon was treaty of because the paris didn't really draw the line

an admirer of the united states. he had visited the united states as a young man. he found americans to be greedy, materialistic, and uncultured, and he did not want to see them dominating the western hemisphere. so he developed his grand design, the invasion of mexico, which unfolded first with the cooperation of spain and great britain, in the first year of the civil war, then expanding throughout the first half of the 1860's. see italiane unification as the war is breaking out. so there's quite a bit on the minds of european powers at this time. >> one angle not quite as often talked about, but really important in this question, is the european communist movement, in particular karl marx and frederick engels. they were both fascinated by the american civil war, for two reasons. as part of the european revolutions of 1848, 1849, the communist league, which they wrote the communist manifesto for, played an important role and hopes to turn that into a communist, socialist revolution. it failed, and they had to go into exile. a lot of them went into exile in the uni

case that in addition to the fact that they adhered to the same principles of liberty that the united states did, they also made a strategic argument, that they could be very useful allies, and that was an argument that got traction. it got traction with the new revolutionary state of virginia, which began arming and supporting their little fort. the communities that were settled in central kentucky all took a form of something like this where cabins were built and a circle with palisades so the community became kind of a makeshift fort. these guys recognized from the beginning that they were operating in territory where they would be regarded as hostile invaders, and it was incumbent upon them to defend themselves against both native americans that might not want them there, and also, as the war progressed against, you know, the pressures of british arms as well, one of the key people involved in this process -- let me ask you this. when you think of daniel boone, do you think of him as a figure of the american revolution? he is familiar. everyone knows who daniel boone was. he was a great

there's nothing that presents the united states government from determining who is a citizen of the united states. they can't use census information to do that. and people who are watching, you know, should be aware that no matter what, they can fill out the census without being concerned about the census bureau sharing from with other parts of the united states government sharing that with the immigration enforcement. it's actually so plainly within his authority that it was already happening. so all of this litigation that's been done on top of it was all against the backdrop of the census bureau saying that they were already going to perform this function, which opens the question, why is he having a press conference. the government has been doing this all along. >> and you know, our greg wallace has reported that this is the option that the census bureau itself recommended to the commerce secretary, wilbur ross, in january of 2018. and said, not only should you do it this way, it won't be expensive, and it's also more reliable data than you would get on a census. so here we are. >> and

as president of the united states, i would remind the world that we are the united states of america and we do not coddle dictators. the united states of america .ives hate no safe harbor there will be no more charlottesvilles, no more helsinkis. the challenge of following this disastrous presidency will not just be to restore the red -- our reputation and credibility, it will be to enact a forward-looking foreign-policy for the world as we find it today, and as we anticipate it will be tomorrow and in years to come. much has shifted in the past few years. the international landscape is more crowded, competitive and complicated, and when we look at key's different today, two points jump out. one is, the speed and intensity of the gravest dangers means that the fates of nations are more intertwined than ever have been. climate change, nuclear proliferation, international and transnational terrorism, cyber warfare, disruptive new .echnologies, mass migration we are moving like moore's law is moving. resolved by can be the united states alone, or any nation acting alone. american securi

and a lot of them came back into the united states. some of them come to the northern cities like chicago, detroit, buffalo. some of them go to washington, d.c., which during the civil war and reconstruction is a major place for african-americans, and some of them go all the way back into southern communities to try to reconnect with people they had known or find groups they think are in a position to make change and be part of that change. i am really tracking all kinds of movement back out of canada after the underground railroad. >> why do they want to come back and what gives them hope? >> a lot of them thought of themselves as members of the united states. they really wanted to be u.s. citizens, part of the united states. slavery was making that impossible. but with the civil war and the end of slavery, there were a number of political leaders who say this is our chance. we are going to go and be part of a reconstruction government, we are going to be part of the opportunity for black people to have equal rights in the united stat

sometimes it happens the united states the f.d.a. requires pharmaceutical industry to have a certain standard of care and standards are great but sometimes small businesses cannot enter that market because it's such a barrier by making a 1000 dollars or $3000.00 a year in a product when i as a company want to get into that maybe we need 6 companies but we need a company and the way that you do that is again make sure there's a less of a barrier to make this product if you use competition then me as a patient i'm empowered to understand how much is this medication cost is this product equally as good why would maybe you know take a lesser expensive medication than the other. and that's it from a thanks for watching saskia tayla has your next ati international news in 34 minutes from. when it comes to north stream saying great clarity that the position of under law americans and drive among the government is crystal clear that it is a business project it is not a political project we understand that the americans would like to sell the

the united states does that. in my view, because no other country is going to make cooperation for security, and that's it's needed. >> let's talk about that. cracked and people often compare >> and people often compare to what? i mean, yes, we need to be accountable. if it was my money i would like to know that it is being spent wisely. but you're always comparing to what? beenthis help had not there, things would be much worse. >> right, if the assistance wasn't there and i think that's what a lot of people think, when you have threats to cut off the country entirely from assistance or to cut off travel entirely , the potential could be exacerbating these problems. thes bring the focus to u.s. approach to migration. for decades, not just the trump administration but predating the trump administration is enforcement first, border security first. in many ways you can sum up the democratic and republican approach since really the '90s as deterrence. i think it's fair to say that hasn't worked. and i think that was

itself of the people of the united states against donald john trump, president of the united states. in maintenance and support of this impeachment against him for high misdemeanor committed as president, constituting harm to american society, to the manifest injury of the people of the united states. article 1, the house of representatives on july 16, 2019 strongly condemned president trump's racist comments that have legitimatized and increased fear and hatred of new americans and people of color by saying hat our fellow americans who are immigrant and those who may look to the president like immigrants, should go back to other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as invaders. and by saying that members of congress who are immigrants or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants, do not belong in congress or in the united states of america. n all of this, the aforementioned donald john trump has, by his statement, brought the high office of the president of the united states in contempt, ridiculed, disgraced sown seeds of has discord among

the united states.razil, about six times higher than what we have here. russia is much higher, chile, and this is a little bit higher than the united states in recent years. one thing that is a little bit misleading and i'll point out, i think it is misleading to talk about a u.s. homicide rate. because it varies so dramatically across the united states. two percent of the counties in the united states account for over half of the murders in the united states. and if you ever look at you know the make up a little over 20 percent of the population. but if you look at what is called a murder map, which will grab out with the murders occur in different counties, what you'll find is that basically within about a 10 block area within those high murder counties, you will find over half the murders occurring there. so they are very heavily concentrated and very tiny areas within the united states. and basically it is drug gang related. so we have a relatively high homicide murder rate compared to many countrie

anybody who is helping the united states and its war against iraq, united states is engaging and economic. there are other countries with logistical support, reconnaissance, that means they are participating in the war. so that could happen? you could target allies? us allies in the gulf? if there is a war, then i do not think anybody would be safe in our region. but let us all try to avoid war, we don't need a war. we've gone through eight years of war, a war that was imposed on us with the help of everybody. but why not de—escalate the situation? for example, the grace 1, which has been seized by british naval authorities. you have had a conversation with british foreign secretary jeremy hunt, and he said to you "look, this vessel could be freed if it's not bound for syria." it is that kind of action that the west find provocative. it's piracy, plain and simple. but there are eu sanctions against selling oil to syria. first of all, there are eu sanctions against buying syrian oil, not against selling oil to syria. one. second... going through eu... sorry, there are eu sanctions against

the doors to the united states never officially shut. many doors are shut on entrance all along the way or have been planted closed years before. there are last ships and almost made it and hundreds of thousands, millions of tragic stories. we estimate that the united states accepted between 180 and 220,000 immigrant between 1933 and 1945. that is more than any other country in the world. clearly as i hope you have heard that is not something we should pat ourselves on the back for. i quoted lacrosse at the beginning with the idea that history is the relentless unforeseen. the refugee crisis is the unforeseen. with the immigration law based in eugenics science isolationism , economic insecurity and fear the american government response to the crisis that began 15 years later is not surprising. it is also a orton to remember thatgermany murdered the not the united states. the laws were not generous but america was not homicidal. we did not relent either. thank you very much. >> thank you. appreciate that. open for questions. >> thank you

if we can build it, grow it or make it in the united states, we will. we choose american made, something truly wonderful happens. our communities thrive and flourish. our neighborhoods bustle with commerce. our children dream bigger and bolder and the bonds of loyalty that unite us as citizens become closer, richer and deeper than ever before. that's how we carry on the flaming torch of americanism. as president harding called it, as he said, we are forever to safeguard america first, to stabilize america first, to prosper america first, to think of america first, to exalt america first and to live for and revere america first. you've never heard that before. you have been doing this a long time. i was speaking to a couple of the folks that were responsible right here, freeman, for this great boat of which they're setting records right now, records by a lot. not even close. over the last three years, where's freeman? where are you folks? stand up, please. great job. and they were saying how well they're doing and that they've never heard this kind of ta

it accounts for more than a third of all the stains will steel produced in the united states every year. over the three decades it's operated in caroll county, the surrounding communities that benefited for more than $60 million in tax revenue. that's just one of many job creators in my home state and it's far from the only one with a serious interest in seeing these measures get across the finish line. from consumer goods makers to industrial suppliers, kentucky continues to welcome job creating investment from around the world. i think practically every american is familiar with hot pockets, a culinary staple of busy family workers and college students everywhere but not everyone knows that as of several years ago, every single hot pocket is cooked in mount sterling, kentucky. the facility employs more than 1,000 kentuckians. the parent company is nestle based in switzerland so they're not only hardworking kentuckians but also lots of hungry consumers across the country who can understand why we need to keep our international trade insync. passing these agreements will help every stat

currently the united states, the u.s. congress, they have allowed chinese state enterprise to have a minority stake in natural gas projects and oil projects. we've never allowed a central enterprise to have a majority stake in the u.s. natural gas project. so that's something to think about very carefully, second, my understanding is that, multiple commercial oil, and gas firms have walked away from this particular project because of its cost required to bring it online. i would question why is it that the chinese company is willing to pursue commercial companies viewed is not commercially feasible, we should have a lot of oversight over, ideally we would have an open bidding process for development projects in the united states, those would go to the best commercial bidders. if this not was something feasibly commercially but something the communist party is willing to invest in, this to me, it speaks of more interest than commercial ones being involved in the deal, so this is something that would require very serious u.s

and the red is for the united states. so the united states is well below average. well below the median. more than half the countries around the world have a higher homicide rate than the united states. there are a couple things to point out. other people seem to think murders and homicides are the same thing. they are not. and it makes a difference in these types of graphs. the differences homicides are murderers and justifiable homicides. the united states has more justifiable homicides. that would cut our ranking by 20 percent or so from what we have here and would make a significant difference. most countries don't report murderers. they just report homicides and that makes one difference there. what people often do when they make comparisons across countries is not to look at homicides but firearm homicides. the average is up here, the united states is over here. much higher than the median. why is the united states a much higher in terms of firearm homicides and we are in terms of total homicides? if you look at the graph carefully, the lines look thicker. th

[applause] second, we will strengthen our alliances and attract new partners for him to strong network of like-minded nations --. are willing is an advantage that our adversaries did not possess but this means that allies and survivors must contribute or equitably. president trump has called on other nations to do more and they have responded. our alliesof 2020, will spend an additional 100 billion on defense, an unprecedented increase that will make the lines. -- the alliance stronger. third, we will reform the department to make the best use of every dollar congress gives us. we had many competing demands and it is incumbent upon us to look for ways to free up time, money, and manpower to invest we musto top ironies keep faith with the american people and be good stewards of their hard-earned tax dollars. and will place a particular focus on the well-being of our families. our military spouses and civilians make tremendous sacrifices for this country, and in return, i am committed t

the united states has imposed economic terrorism against the states including through imposition of sanctions and extorted. cation of them said this sick tendency of the united states to use illegal unilateral sanctions as an instrument of course so what anastase and private entities should come to an end with the united states' destructive actions and adoption and application of the doomed to fed policy of maximum pressure is the main cause of current situation and iran's decisions to bring back the balance to the j.c. ph of. iran's actions of a line of the remade the old colossus incorporated into j.c. ph and all taken in all of the to restore the long lost balance of the implementation of the commitments under the one like the united states iran has acted responsibly and has resorted to the civilized dispute resolution mechanism of the j c if you say which resulted in 11 commitments of the remaining participants based on the j. c.p.a. with regard to iran incorporated initially as stated in the 6 through larger into statement of ministerial meeting of the joint commission of the j.c. if you

is the president of the united states a racist? >> well, wolf, i learned about the charlottesville comments to talk about north korea and he said racist things and i think the most recent issues, most recent tweets were racist and xenophobic and racist things have been said. and here is what is unfortunate. this is distracting from what-first off, this is unbecoming of a president of the united states. i think that is clear. children should know you shouldn't talk this way. as the only black republican in the house of representatives, i try to go to communities that don't necessarily identify with the republican party and try to bring conservative message. this makes this even harder. and ultimately instead of talking about the support of their policies, which i disagree with, i don't believe we should be getting rid of private health care, i don't think we should be supporting the iran deal, i don't believe that socialism is a solution to any of our problems. instead, we're having a debate on where they are from and where they're

census generates an accurate count of how many citizens, noncitizens and illegal aliens are in the united states of america. not too much to ask. this will greatly inform a wide array of public policy decisions. this information is also relevant to administering our elections. some states may want to draw state and local legislative districts based upon the voter eligible population. indeed the same way the supreme court handed down the census decision, it also said it would not review certain types of districting decisions which could encourage states to make such decisions based on voter eligibility. with today's order we will collect all of the information we need to conduct an accurate census and to make responsible decisions about public policy, voting rights and representation in congress. in everything we do we will faithfully represent the people of the united states of america. i would like now to introduce attorney general bill barr to the podium. thank you. >> good evening. thank you, mr. president, and congratulations on today's executive order which will ensure that we finally have

the united states of america will never compromise the safety and security of the jewish state of israelheers and applause] vice pres. pence: in the wake of all those actions, finally, the president also made one other promise. he promised to stand up to the world's leading state sponsor of terror. and he did just that when he withdrew the united states of america from the disastrous iran nuclear deal. there will be no more cash for the mullahs in iran. [cheers and applause] vice pres. pence: and pastor hagan mentioned, i served in the congress of the united states, i was on the foreign affairs committee. back when i was in congress, there was actually a bipartisan group of members of congress who brought together sanctions on iran years ago. those sanctions were isolating a regime and was bringing tremendous pressure on it. but in 2015, we all remember, when the iran nuclear deal was signed, all of that pressure went away. the previous administration's so-called deal didn't prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, it delayed it. for roughly a decade. in exchange, the deal gave away

billions of dollars to the top 1% and you hope that trickles down to all the working people of the united states. the way we finance it in the state of washington is by taxing ,he people who should be taxed so the burden is not put on working people. as we move forward, we should make rational decisions to toeal the trump tax cuts, put money from the oil and gas industry into early childhood education. that is how we get this job done. stageing to leave the with a couple other comments. one is about immigration. trump said, -- he threatened me, when i said i would have pro-immigrant policies, he threatened me. i said, we will have diversity in the united states of america. i will close with this. dedicated you are professional lives to the generations to come behind us. we know we have a moral obligation to those generations, to defeat the planet crisis. i have dedicated the last two decades of my public life to defeating this crisis. i have proposed a plan to make sure we put people to work, and i am the candidate who is saying this. honor, i willhis make defeating the climate crisis, the numbe

united states get away with no i mean the united states is the strongest country in the world and content of leveraging that kind of political power internationally they dominate the social the the the security council of united nations a lot of ways that international financial institutions will allow them to leverage their power in terms of sanctions it's a it's a completely unbiased and people really need to understand that sanctions are really another form of warfare without guns and the fact that countries like the united states or you know the super powers of the western superpowers can leverage them and not be subject to them and also be under the guise of the which they leverage them against other countries it's really a more i think is really partially hello mark time we'll have to have you on again there is a model or so i sort of talk about it thank you so much demonstrator watching our social media pizza for dinner and after freeman thank you so much for walking us through this today thank you thank you. for early detection is the key to the treatment of breast cancer by creat

it's not the united states so iran sees the way that the e.u. is dealing with u.s. sanctions as. as a violation of it of its own commitment within the deal so it's basically it's not working against the e.u. it's basically doing what the e.u. and the united states is doing that they basically got back from their commitments they got back to the 1st square where the negotiations started and led to the j.c. a and iran basically is i think is heading back as well to the 1st where to be equal i mean to deal with them on equal footing and i think that's that's a choice that has been made into iran iranians cannot basically the authorities here the ruling elites cannot you know afford to basically woo back and kneel be behind before us maximum pressure they have to create a leverage as to go to and if they are to go to another round of discussions or negotiations provided that there will be a willing mess on the other. partly but i think what's important for iran now is the economics of the u.s. sanctions and they are not doing basically it's part of the deal and is right. rationally s

the united states refuge. if we have a humanitarian crisis, why isn't somebody raising their hand and saying we need to fix this. if there's an agreement there are people who have legitimate claim, whether mexico or the united states, we all believe they should get the support of our governments, let's work on that. i don't know what the solution is but let's work on that. then if we all agree there's a number percentage, actually economic immigration and it's probably better to have legal avenues for them, let's work on that together. then the final equation is if somebody is coming here to harm mexico, united states, central america and it's a true threat, let's work on that also. we need to get that -- if there's agreement there, there's hope we can do something. >> well, certainly harder and harder to do that when you have a flood of folks coming in overwhelming the system. the number of people that are actually approved out of central american companies is closer to 20%, right? >> it just depends how you
