oh, there's more. 21 united states trustees. exactly 21 united states trustees. congress has devoted a lot of attention to figuring out what structure of the department of justice looks like. if you put all of those positions together, they account for a tiny, tiny fraction of the more than 100,000 people who work for the united states department of justice. that's because the vast majority of the people who work for the department of justice are not officers of the united states within the meaning of the appointments clause. they are employees. their appointments are not controlled by the appointments clause. congress can pick whatever mode of appointment is necessary and proper for carrying into execution government powers, and their positions do not acquire the specific statutory authorization of established by law that is necessary for officers. for those people, the 9900 50 or whatever of the rest of them, it suffices to provide, as congress has, not just for the department of justice, but for every federal agency that they may employ such numbers employees

there are moments when the united states is more welcoming and moments when the united states is notelcoming at all. we watch this with great interest and try to identify the moments when these things are happening. susan: is the current period of turmoil and debate over immigration different in any important way from past times this country has gone through? dr. kraut: i would argue the current ways of nativism, of anti-immigrant sentiment, of xenophobia is not different in what we have seen in the past. while it seems to us to be peppered with acts of violence and ferocity, there have been other acts of violence, anti-immigrant riots before the civil war, anti-immigrant riots in the 1880's. there have been lots of moments in american history when the anti-immigrant sentiment has been translated into true ugliness. it has brought great harm to the foreign-born. i would argue the current wave, as unpleasant and offputting as it is, is not all that unusual in the history of our country. susan: what causes congress to ultimately act during these periods? dr. kraut: congress acts most f

of america, the united states military. it's a sacred duty. it's not something that is done or looked at in a whim and so i hope you understand. i think it's important that i make a serious speech. it's going to take 25 minutes for me to do it about american foreign policy and why i am so concerned about our security and the deployment of the might of the united states military. you know, the power to deploy the might of the most powerful military in the history of the world and that's not hyperbole, in the history of the world, there have never been -- never been a greater, more confident warriors or a larger, more powerful military than we've had. it's not an ego booster. it's not a ratings booster. you take an oath of office to swear responsibility a to our troops and their families and the only sacred obligation we have, and the only sacred one is to protect those we send to war, care for them when they come home and care for their families when they're gone. they risk their lives for their government. and that's why we

when they look at that map of the united states before 1847, what they will see is a third of the united states of mexico. when they tell us that they often do go back where you came from, we have to say we are where we came from, this is something that everybody needs to know. and i think her educational system people need to know this so we can stop the hate and discrimination in the attacks on our latino communities. it is time. we know that latinos in addition to the farmers that were developed much of the land of the united states of america building the railroads, so much of the labors, they built this country were latinos. that is not recognize or acknowledge. in addition to the historical figures, we also have the team that came out of our community. at this point in time where we are at is in our country, we need to celebrate the diversity of our country, we need to recognize and respect and demonstrate in the latino museum what the contributions have been of our latino community to the united states, we are not outsiders, we have always been hear from the very beginning and tha

in the past the united states, the u.s. policy sought to whether investing in the situations or through regular government contact. these things are not there anymore. the president is the key figure. and you would think this should make things easier because you're dealing with one man. but 30 is not saudi arabia or egypt, despite centralization of power and authoritarianism it's public opinion and election still matters in turkey. you're dealing with the public that is anti-american. they think the u.s. is in decline and become irrelevant. so you combine that very anti-american public opinion with a very personalized system in which there is no one that can put the brakes on his worst instincts. so you get turkey where the worldview and domestic electoral consideration becomes decisive and foreign policymaking. in the second thing i want to talk about is the change in turkish military. the turkish military has been an asset in this relationship. and despite the marginal progress for, it's always been very tornado for the

guest: two to place the united states as the key security guarantor. that is a gift to vladimir putin who would like to see nothing and than to step in embarrass the united states as we leave by brokering a deal as a priority for the turkish president, and to use that military and diplomatic position that putin has built to expand his -- influence throughout the middle east. host: in the middle east, russia sells stability. at what cost to russia, and can they afford it? guest: they may sells stability but they cannot deliver it. that is a key aspect of their involvement in syria. they have prolonged the war. they have one major gain for the but these arent overblown because they have not led to stability. there is a new insurgency in the syrian south which russians help the assad regime gain control of last summer and cannot manage to stay above that. it is certainly a pitch putin makes. there is very few alternatives to putin now with the united states visibly retreating. host: how does iran have a role in this? guest: the iranians support the syrian

that they cannot rely on the united states we have seen how they're not be so. that would the see the democratic forces and we have seen actually what the but is than when he had a few was actually to retaliate against iran when iran actually. launched that attack on a few weeks a few weeks ago yet something that they rounded that i have to mention i mean the americans are saying iran is a sponsor most of the americans are saying iran is a sponsor one so they should have for the saudis and you tell yet again that iranian action whether we like with our we believe that iran is a sponsor or not that is a different issue but mr kaplan i think you have a very interesting point here and i want to ask you specifically about russia's policy because it's usually framed in terms of its battery ego russia not being treated as if things it should be treated but isn't the the kind of mode that russia is offering for solving the middle eastern problems indeed a little bit if not superior than perhaps sustainable. framework that the americans have been peddling for many decad

or view the united states as unpredictable. my worry is that won't produce strong allied coalitions that are pursuing strategies. it will produce hedging behavior. whether that's the russians in this particular theater, china in other theaters, because they sort of view that as something they need to do with the national security. even if we decide, we are going to intervene less. we are going to try to push others to share burdens. still you want to be doing whatever we're doing around the world in a multilateral way in a coalition rather than retreating to fortress america and saying to other countries you're on your own. >> before you address the same question, you want you to specifically note the people in this region and how a message like this will be delivered and heard in this region. we're talking about great powers. but how having done this work now for months, how will this affect the kurds, the the people on the ground who we may hope to work with. >> thank you for that question. one of the things the seyria study

the question really gets at the core of the centrality of latinos to the united states. and whether we can properly and adequately represent and address the history of latinos in the united states through the dispersed approach that we currently have. i have grade admiration for so much of what the smithsonian has done through the energy and wisdom and professionalism of the curatorial staff that exists. and so it can be understood in its fullness and energy and richness. we're talking about 500 years of history and historical developments that, you know, really do touch upon and help to shape important critical patterns in american history more generally. i'm thinking of everything from, you know, colonialism and colonization at the beginning of 500 years of recent history through the period of american revolution, the latin american revolutions of the early 19th century and how the united states and latinos played roles in those histories. the u.s.-mexico war, reconstruction and the way that-- i'm limited on time. i'm going to reclaim my time. before i end my line of q

one result of section 232 was on face beginning with china retaliated against the united states agriculture. the irony of all this is that of all of the countries that were subject to 232 restrictions, china and police state. other countries such as the eu, canada and mexico retaliated. added, mexico are no longer there because of the impact of the us and ca agreements and as a result they lifted their retaliations. but the reason is that it's self-evident, why is it they would, why would people retaliate immediately? why not wait -mark they didn't retaliate in section 201 but the reason is self-evident because these were actions, unilateral taken under the guise of national security and claimed to be that they were conforming to the national security exception in article 21 of the gap. if you look at article 21 you'll see that these don't meet those criteria at all. the us is still threatening to impose 232 restrictions on automobiles, so on behalf of the american iron and steel institute, i mean the americaninstitute for important steel , we are working together with professor alan morris

we know the united states supported the taliban in ending attacks in afghanistan in the united states we know the united states supported the taliban and al qaeda in your country but anyway you said you're meeting with he was fruitful we said al qaeda in your country but anyway you said your meeting with policy was fruitful we said even though the democrats under obama of course drone bombed your country you will even though the democrats under obama of course drone bombed your country you were. boxer need to install didn't work which was illiterate and mass killing arguably boxer need to and stoltenberg which were sillett ated mass killing arguably in afghanistan under nato why are you welcoming all this out in afghanistan under nato why are you welcoming all this outside what some afghans may call it interference in your country we have never had what some afghans may call it interference in your country we have never. will come and outsides. just. will come and outsides. just point blank called. off half. a point blank called. off path. is that the deal was the fighting bega

the united states captured them. some were released for effect to make us look a little bit like we have to get right back in there. you have a lot of countries over there that have power and that hate isis very much. as much as we do. i think we are in a very stranlly good position. -- strategically good position. we have removed all of our as we said 50 soldiers, but much less than 50 soldiers. they are now in a very safe location. heading into an even safer location. and we will help negotiate. we have tremendously powerful sanctions. our country has become economically much more powerful than frankly it ever was. we picked up trillions and trillions of dollars in work. market was up big yesterday. it's going to be up big today it looks like. the trade deal with china just having to do with what we have done with the financial services, with banks, with the farmers has been incredible. far greater than anyone ever thought. i agree it hasn't been papered yet, but it's being papered. in the meantime as you know and

there that volunteer physicians examine newcomers to see that they are not bringing disease to the united statesnd they will be sufficiently robust to support themselves. it is strictly a state matter until the law of 1882. at that point, the treasury department takes over immigration, but does business with the states, in effect contracts with the states to enforce american immigration law and restrictions. susan: clearly a blanket of different laws. dr. kraut: exactly. susan: let's get a snapshot of waves of immigration before federal laws. we have to would knowledge quite a large -- acknowledge quite a large continue -- contingent of involuntary immigrants, african-americans brought in through slavery. dr. kraut: prior to the civil are 4.5 million slaves in the united states. by virtue of it from eyes of the constitutional convention, the international slave trade was ended in 18 oh wait, but there was plenty of smuggling -- 1808 there was plenty of smuggling. 4.5 million slaves by the time of the civil war. i have a problem with calling them ill -- in voluntary migrants. they were slaves, a

that's to be commander-in-chief of the united states of the commander of united states military.t is a sacred duty and not something that is done or looked at. so i hope you understand it's important that i make a serious speech that will take about 25 minutes about american foreign policy and why i am so concerned about our security and the climate of the united states military. the power to deploy the most powerful military in the history of the world, never been more confident warriors or a more confident military than what we have. it is not an ego booster or ratings booster. you take the yacht oath of office to swear responsibility to our troops and their families. the only sacred obligation we have is to protect those we send to war to care for them when they come home and their families when they are gone. they risk their lives so their government can work. another responsibility is that when a commander-in-chief it's for an overwhelming national security purpose. and also drive responsibility to our allies and to our partners in the united states of america will stand beh

you mentioned that the united states -- you mentioned the united states opposed turkey's incursion into northern syria. that erdogan had always wanted a sort of safe zone here. what concessions did you actually get out of president erdogan, number one. number two, have you gotten specific assurances from the ypg that they would comply with the terms of this agreement, because this is something that they have said that they would not do. and finally, with the kurds moving south and now with the u.s. sanctions in terms of them moving south, how would you address critics who would call this essentially a second abandonment of the kurds? >> well, i think you'll be able to see from the agreement itself what concessions were made. president trump, in his telephone call with president erdogan earlier this week, and in the directive that he gave us to deliver, was very clear that he wanted a cease-fire. he wanted to stop the violence. turkey's engaged in an active military operation. i can tell you that as our discussions began over the course of the five-hour period of time, we reached a place

forces the establishment in america believes that the united states actually by betraying. actually is giving a very bad message to its allies in the region. this is something not good for america blossoming don't look at the united states if it withdraws from syria it will not be party to this conflict anymore it will not have any leverage and the syrian conflict and some actually also see that russia is winning in this case because america is actually pulling out so that something of the gun is actually dealing with 2 different americas this is actually what makes his position very very difficult and this is what mixed actually the thrust also with the united states is very low now as we are recording this program on friday afternoon and there are already news coming in that at least in one like this suppose that cease fire has been breached and that there are there are direct military confrontation between the turkish military and some of the kurdish groups speech leads me to my next question as part of the deal struck last thursday the kurdish military units they why b.

not a single united states service member was killed in this operation. despite baghdadi's death, the security situation in syria remains complex. nonstate actors continue to vie for control of territory and resources within the country. as we have learned from our recent history in the middle east, it is very easy to get drawn into continued conflict if our objectives are not clear. acting as a police force is not our mission. our mission in syria remaining the same since 2014, to enable the enduring defeat of isis. it is intended to posture us to continue this mission and give the president options while returning the balance back home to the united states. those who remain will continue to execute counter terrorism operations while staying in close contact with the syrian democratic forces who have fought along side us. the united states will retain control of oil fields in northeast syria. these oil fields provided isis with the bulk of financial resources used to fund its terror. u.s. troops will remain positioned in this area to deny isis access to

the united states designated syria as a state-sponsored and service him in 1979. we know the nature of this regime. they facilitated the movement of the operatives during the iraq war to attack the forces and he will seek to leverage al qaeda and fighters again when it suits his needs. today they provide safe havens for the world's most dangerous to business groups. for example, it is the home to the greatest concentration of foreign fighters since afghanistan in the 1980s. oasis no longer holds the territory that was already reconstituting as an insurgent force. it will replenish its ranks breaking out of detention facilities today and will prey on vulnerable communities as the humanitarian situation deteriorates. it seeks to turn syria into the base for its missiles and advanced weapons and has exploited the conflict to entrench itself in the economic and social fabric. the strikes and the sanctions prevented iran from consolidating these game that the increased risk of the war between iran and israel it is now increased today. russia has exploited the conflict.

england is an imperialist power why were we talking about the british empire when united states is letting its own territory last impact units incident shockingly little to build up territorial defenses. despite knowing that the war was probably going to probably probably get united states and western territories. virtually left one in the philippines had only a few things. it was a surprise that japan was very quickly able to take these western territories of the united states and the one the united states actually did do to prepare for this expected war in the 1930s, was to the philippines on the road to independence. so that the philippines into the countdown and got independence before the war started, then the nazis would not be obliged to defend the philippines because it would be an independent country and not a problem. anyway so the war happened, the president of the philippines, it's not like an independent country, kind of like the governor of the state. just listens to roosevelt on the radio talking about england's and he said something which kind of expresses vividly. in uncom

together with a coalition of over 30 countries, the united states engaged in a campaign to rid the world of isis and to restore peace and stability to that region. but it was not a nation-state that bore the brunt of the fighting against isis. the kurds and the arabs who made up the syrian democratic forces took the fight to the heart of the caliphate. with the help of united states special operations forces and air strikes, the s.d.f. liberated lands held by the terror group, imprisoned thousands of terrorist fighters and restored hope to hundreds of thousands who suffered under isis rule. in our fast-moving and quickly-changing world, it is easy for some to forget the terrible threat isis once posed while they were at their most powerful. but it would be wrong to think we could now allow ourselves to take our foot off of our enemies' throat. even now isis cells are seeking to take advantage of the chaos in northern syria to reconstitute and once again pose a direct threat to americans am- to americans right here in our homeland. you cannot watch what's unfolded in syria without being f

the united states the united states has set a hard-line towards eroding u.n. resolutions on the international legal framework of the middle east peace process. it suggests waiting for some sort of deal of the century. meanwhile, it's taking unilateral decisions on jerusalem and the golan heights. the two state solution to the palestinian issue, which is essential for providing security for israel and the whole region is in danger. apparently, when nato members were bombing libya, blatantly violating united security council resolutions, they were also guided by the logic of the rules based order. it resulted in the destruction of libyan statehood. the international community is still untangling the disastrous repercussions of nato's adventure with african countries affected the most. there is still a hidden agenda and the countering -- in the countering terrorism, despite the universally binding security council decisions on lifting -- listing terrorist organizations. some countries made it a rule to terroristsshield from punishment and to even work with them o
