that's why i can see what is going on in the united states is an internal problem of the united states and the american people have a right to make any remarks involving what is going on and how it will affect internal policy and how it would affect the events in your country. best regards to bb. i respect him very much but i'm a little surprised that he has decided to involve me in the discussions regarding the internal situations of the united states. i hope you will not be offended if i stop here regarding remarks on what is going on in the united states. and i would like to convey this message to all the guys who are listening to me that would like for you to recover from this situation as soon as possible. we are very much interested to see the united states as a prosperous country. it's impossible to mention, the united states, it's impossible to create an island of safety and another part of the world it's possible to live in another world. so i wish you good luck and i wish you prosperity and i would like to stop here. said let's move to the foreign-policy here. >> it's more ea

he served in the united states congress, and he also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife were the hosts during james buchanan's administration in washington, d.c. when the south left and formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation, and become the president of the confederate states of america. we are standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1865, jefferson davis received word from general robert e lee, commander of the army of northern virginia, that they could no longer hold the confederate army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news, jefferson davis adjourned his cabinet and sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis, soon after that, would follow. he would finally catch up with his family, right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved back

it had only just become a united states state. and this guy, senator gruning, was a kind of hard-nosed realist. he was doing a cost/benefit analysis. his critique was, i don't get it. why does it make sense for the united states to spend blood and treasure going to vietnam? there was no big moral critique. there was no larger issue about the meaning of americanness. it didn't add up for him. but again, these are two senators. there's almost no visible critique as johnson launches what will quickly become an american war in vietnam. there were a few other voices, a few public voices that raised questions, mostly from that realist perspective. does this add up? hans morgan, a big guy, he raises those issues. walter litman, a famous columnist, had been making pronouncements about american policy for, by this time, some 50 years. he raised some questions. he also critiqued this as a really -- just not a reasonable solution to america's interests in asia. but otherwise there's a kind of consensus. it's an election year in 1964. johnson

mexico and the united states. the close and continued friendship between the united states and mexico and we accelerate our progress toward a greater tomorrow. that is what's happening, a for greater tomorrow. with a prospering region, flourishing hemisphere, and to nations thriving, growing, and excelling side-by-side working together that is what we have been doing. we look forward to hosting you for a beautiful dinner later on this evening with some of your friends from mexico and some of our great friends in the u.s.. it is an honor to have you with us and we would love to have you say a few words. thank you very much. >> friends, ladies and gentlemen, i truly celebrate this meeting with you. president trump. extent has a great to do with the importance right now in these times of world economic crisis the importance of entering into effect of the mexico u.s. canada agreement or usmca. having been able to close this deal, constitutes a greater, schmidt benefiting all three nations and our peoples. as we are kn

that the profit should not be defined in very narrow morny terry terms as it is defined in the united states should you really be calling for the and to capitalism rather than let's say redefining the notion of profit. well you could be defined the notion of profit and you could have the government come in and the private sector say we make profit and you the government do important things like prepare for a vote by reserves that threaten bubbly tell but in american capitalism if you give this much power to the private sector they have always prevented the government from having the power and the resources to do these kinds of things and they do that for a simple reason that they are afraid of the government as a competitor that the government will come in and do things and lead to massive people do say well if the government is what prevents us from having a virus well then let's give more resources to the government to do these things so the private sector unlocks the power of the government to compensate for the limits of the private sector and i know it's easy to criticize the trumpet mi

of course i mean they want their european allies to buy liquefied natural gas from the united states ship sent by ship that is far more expensive ok and i would like to point out to our viewers during the worst times of the cold war. europe imported russian soviet and natural gas and that conflict is over let's let's what's in play here let's go ahead well it is interesting because every since the 2nd world war this set is huge and the presence and influence 'd of the united states over a year as opposed to the bid to protect the earth and indeed this recent just by the united states was to ensure p. and energy security so again it's america will be our protector however this kind of this ng to david a little bit from the plot here because they're not going sanctioning the russians all in other sanctioning sanctioned europeans so it's like america is now the guardian of europe however. exactly what does it or read about souls or captive nations of the us or we merely in our children of the us must an issue if we're unable to take care of ourselves so sanctioning european companies in

abandon the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global capitalists they have cut back links that leaves the vast middle class without jobs. not a future it's a disaster here covered over with endless theater but the reality is a disaster and if mr trump weren't there you would see other people emerging trying to make a political career by there if i could tell you this i will tell you in the fall there is a struggle going on in the united states between a left wing response to the collapse of the middle class that's represented by a new wave of socialists by bernie sanders by alexander real cause you're cortez and all of that and there is no right wing alternative where he says just think and you see that in trouble well i mean there is somebody in the middle i by the name joe biden but let's talk about him after a short break we'll be back in just a few moments. you cannot be both with yeah you're right. the sudden false and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. so rather than revolutionaries or so just condemn small groups the corporations

the united states. is done with making the world look like the united states and it has to adjust to the outside world so you have to redraw us you have to flip flip the coin response your foreign foreign policy in a big weight and that's what's happening it's it's it's interesting times but as always living in interesting times maybe a little bit too much fun and i'm sure with a with me that bolton paints a picture of a very chaotic very impulsive administration trumping ministration in his in his book where everything is. decided in a haphazard south serving manner with very little deference to national interests and what i wanted to ask if that's just trump or do you think that's a fitting matter for for the political america as a whole because he mentioned that this crisis in the range in age with trunk chomp . to a large extent is a reaction to the forces that are fighting him well long before a dollar trump became a household name really now states and the world over. washington ceased to be a cit

donald trump was afraid to take questions about the coronavirus which is now out of control in the united states. there's no other description for it. including out of control in the big republic an states texas and florida where the governors have followed donald trump's lead and done the least they could possibly do to protect their citizens from the coronavirus. our first guest is former texas congressman with this explanation for what is happening in texas. want to know why there's uncontrollable outbreak with record number of cases and soon deaths. because dan patrick leads a death cult that a death cult tha abbott, cornle -- cornyn and company -- this after dr. anthony fauci testified to the senate committee. >> locking down doesn't work, if it did those states would be doing better than texas. fauci said today he is concerned about states like texas that skipped over certain things. he doesn't know what he's talking about. only thing i'm skipping over is listening to him. he's wrong every time on every issue. i don't need his advice any more. >> today the republican governor of texas greg

or europe i suppose the damage to protect here and indeed this recent just by the united states was to ensure p. and energy security so again it's america will be our protector however this kind of this ng to david a little bit from the latera because they're not going sanctioning the russians all in other sanctioning state sanctioned europeans so it's like america is now the guarding of europe however. exactly what does it or read about souls or captive nations on the us or we merely in our children of the us must an issue if we're unable to take care of ourselves so sanctioning european companies in order to keep european energy security it does seem a bit absurd and obviously ad and this is where you know the may conflict comes in between the u.s. and germany now as well so and of course in many contradictions therefore on the european side and they do not think european security yes our energy security is a concept where they would have greater ownership over the infrastructure of their you know course insurance if you can't for more open forms however now that european comp

it just the united states coming out there. the national s security and allf the spending the previous osprey to the challenges, this is the united statess alone. southeast asian countries understand threat. so we were able to show that. there were no majors breakthroughs. they sure that they had every intention o of the first part of the trade deals we negotiated with them . we hope that that is the case. we hope to fill all those commitments. bojan pancevski: will go to another question from and asking what do you have specifically. [inaudible]. and something u.s. and now in use of the w before as well. mike pompeo: there are many things that i cannot share in an open setting. i am highly confident that anybody this is in walkway very long, you don't have to go very far. that commercial building inside of china that there are members of the chinese security apparatus workingit there. more simply, you can just get on line and of the chinese security law. it requires companies like them to share any information that they have th

china and the united states. it's fundamentally false. we're asking every sovereign country to pick between freedom and tyranny. and that's the choice every leader has to make, and that's when i go around the world and that's what i talk to them about, and they all know. they all know that the united states is the country they want to be alongside. they all know that freedom and our value system and the rule of law and property rights and the protection of these rights is essential to their country and why i think the tide is turning around the world and people are seeing the chinese communist party as what it is, a threat to the freedom of their people. >> i characterize it a little different. there's state control and self determination. the world is turning into a binary equation. russia, china, venezuela, cuba. if you add up all the gdps of those state controlled country, it's probably less than $23 billion. if you add up the gdp of the rest, it's over $70 billion. i want to relate that back to the last quest

things will happen and the argument among the conservatives in tehran is that you cannot trust the united states because indeed to thousands in the tri state case of this century you engage with the europeans but the americans toss them then later you engage with the americans directly and then what happened they've been through from the nuclear deal they really impose sanctions and they assassinated your commander and your official they also did security measures against you so you cannot trust the united states and i think the distance between the american presidential election to iran and presidential election that time will be very telling and very important and we have to see and watch to see that. what will happen in that period of time because there can be computed between conservatives that reformists in the country and let's say that this survival of the nuclear deal cannot be that easy it's almost as interesting isn't it and there you are in washington d.c. listening to the argument in iran between the conservatives the moderates the hardliners except for and in america you have the ve

if ireland rose up against the and the united states had signed this, with the united states have any commitment? external aggression. it would not. ok? . want you look at this this is an extremely controversial part of the versailles peace treaty. it was an area of china germany had taken over. they have the doctrine of extra reality. notchinese police could touch them. only the german police could touch him. when world war i began, japan was an ally of great britain. so, japan declared war on theany and took over peninsula. realized heon needed support for the treaty. the japanese said, we want one small little thing. we want to racial equality clause. we want you to acknowledge the international relations is no longer for white people exclusively. we want you to start saying from the beginning and by the way, we would appreciate it if your legislature and the state of california knows it. wilson says, ok. this is in the segregation of the south. woodrow wilson says, i'm not quite sure i can do that. he is to give an area of china, inhabited by chinese to japan to for thean's suppor

united states. however, the information in the letter and in hungary, it came up again about how this party is going to clean up the gangsters, it has no basis in fact. a few typing errors will also be inserted into this letter. show the bureau prove this letter for anonymous mailing it will be touch and commercial stationary, updated in xerox copies of this letter, mailed, blah, blah. this is all a plot to create dissent. the fbi knows that what the sicilian off yet does when -- the efforts to provoke the mafia to retaliate violently against members of the cpusa. there's no evidence that this actually works. it's not the lack of trying. cointelpro, what cpusa is also used to attack not communist party political opponents. for example, unitarian minister, and members of his congregation, they circulated a petition against the house on american activities committee. the city council campaign of a lawyer who defended people prosecuted under the smith act, leaders of the communist party, and that lawye

as well in particular the united states' security. can you tell us why are american troops here in germany anyway. well they are obviously a remnant or a legacy of the cold war they're seen as a very important element of the postwar international order numbers were big in the past in fact since the fall of the berlin wall those numbers have decreased or germany is still the country with the largest number of u.s. troops in europe and that's why it is so important it's not only about paying to protect germany these troops here in germany pay a very important role for the united states and for the security of the united states and if you look for example of the composition you will clearly see that the ramstein base for example is seen as a very important hub for u.s. operations in the middle east or in africa you will see that they that there is largest military hospital outside of continental united states you will see a direct command here like that european command the africa command they play a very important role in the way the un

gene talk about it briefly, within the united states?oes the china-russia partnership entente, what a joy to color, include intelligence cooperation and had to divide, distract, undermine? democracy in order in the republic? >> is that a question for me? >> for anybody since it is china and russia. >> well, i don't think we -- thanks, paul -- i don't have the necessary knowledge to answer this question definitively what i would say it serves both russian and chinese if they venture into the area of -- it serves the interest to show that american democracy is not perfect, that democracy can be extremely messy, to the point of being debilitating as i think some of the outlets that they support have argued. you know, authoritarian governments have the upper hand as they like to argue those i think it strengthens their approach to domestic politics. >> would anyone care to comment -- we have a question from todd on you too. what impact will the changes in artificial intelligence have upon u.s. relations with russia and china? this is a fast

secretary schulz would correct them and tell them, their country is the united states of america. [inaudible] this latest intelligence revelation is alarming pattern by this president. the fact that the secretary of state is not testifying today is another alarming pattern of this administration. congress has an oversight response ability. the secretary of state should be here to answer our questions. i'm glad that our witnesses are here today. it's about multiple to me that the russian government continues to be untested as it engages in the systemic and aggressive policies to undermine, dismantle, and disrupt american alliances, threaten our democracy, and go after her troops. time and time again, this committee asked, where is the president? why does he fail to act? it is outrageous to me that we ask our servicemen and women to put their lives in danger for our peace and security and yet -- how hastration congress never been briefed until the claim was to the press? unwillingness to treat this committee and others reflects the continued antagonism and disdain for this body as a

one for each of the united states and its territories, as the flags of each state and territory were on the memorial steps. marching boy scouts that carried flags of the united states from the lincoln memorial to near the white house. here, the largest american flag in the capitol flew above the flags of the 56 states and territories. citizens of all ages brought their small american flags to place them in beds of white sand which formed letters usa. >> in the evening, there was a two hour, 45 minute show featuring american film, television and recording stars and hosted by world famous comedian bob hope. >> we have to run along. here's a gal we are so happy to have with us. she's one of the most beautiful gals in the world. she's miss black america. ms. g.o. smith. right here.

once they have 60000 people, they can petition to join the united states on an equal footing. think it is brilliant. and it is a phase, not a permanent situation. and most of the states in the united states is actually coming that way. in the northwest ordinance also looked at that territory and sent here is how we are going to settle. it's not going to be a rush everybody overlapping title vii bloodshed and carnage. it is going to be regulated and we will do it almost on the model of the new england town. his settle one area of the townships and you do that regularly. it divides a whole area and a sanctions and as i said to my students coming should fly over the united states in the days when you used to be able to fly over and look down, you can see this all laid out in squares . in flavoring when you look down, and it looked like they were following a red line. so it is blueprint for an american expansion did the problem is of course, that the land is roughly about northwest territory. he tied up for the west. around the course of the union month. so the question comes from

determined by the united states. richard i would be remiss if i didn't ask you one more question again related to a different book you once wrote in that book you basically argued that u.s. foreign policy was directly linked to the domestic economic and social conditions of a country it's hard to imagine a bigger mess than in the united states today with 44000000 people unemployed you know racial divides in the nation and a pandemic hitting as sort of 3 tsunamis at the same time and so i just want to ask you to reflect on the domestic sources of foreign policy which you got at and say we got to fix this stuff that you said it years ago. that was not heeded and so i just kind of remember that book and say wow if only everyone had read richard haass but tell me your thoughts right now on this moment where our domestic you know set of conditions are pretty horrible. thank you for raising it the book was foreign policy begins at home and you're right the immediate situation the pandemic the 10s of millions of unemployed

you know we are not we are not to you know to beg for what i'm getting from the united states i said you know and china are 2 national. and the girl's eyes are on the strategy because i am. and that is what was happening underground is not due to the us because as i said you don't have been enjoying good suggestion for how many years but mr bassett we cannot minimize the horrible relations between the united states and iran it's as bad as i think it's ever been. how much of this do you think is your fault what could you have done differently with the trump administration to make the situation the relationship more amenable. you know just to chat about what has been happening the last thursday don and and i'm going to continue. the 5 plus one i did on something which is called the tontine j c p o n and it must sign by. an on going others on to ivy dot. com and to ask them what are the subject matter he pursued. to get to the was the donkey of the united states and not in a truth out of it even so it is not the daughter who left the negotiating table it's funny how i can remember shit

2 countries presently being targeted economically and militarily by our government here in the united states so here we go this morning the new york times is pending a piece about a leak that describes how china and iran are signing a 25 year military and economic partnership agreement. the piece and titled when china met iran seems to suggest that washington is kind of freaked out by this that it has quote the united states in a geo political storm so what is this deal between the us his biggest adversary in the middle east and the us as is most predominant economic competitor on the entire world stage well it's described as an agreement that is going to provide iran with all the tack and economic development that china can offer in exchange for massively discounted oil all that iran can offer this is amazing isn't it so just how important is this deal is it happening because our foreign policy here in the states has literally pushed these 2 countries into each other's embrace has our adversarial relationship with eat with each of them somehow ended up bringing them together ironically. cha

in former president barack obama's first term susan rice with united states ambassador to the united nations. in her second term she was obama's national security adviser are you today rice as a private citizen. she is the author of tough love, my story of the things worth fighting for and under serious consideration to be joe biden's vice presidential running mate. welcome back for the third time susan rice. welcome. >> thank you it's great to be with you. >> about one minute before we came on air there was breaking news that the trump administration dropped a plan to deport international students in on line classes and your reaction was to applaud. >> well it was such a misguided, stupid decision that they took. international students are a critical part of our university structure on our college campuses. they bring talent. they bring diversity. they bring resources antilock down simply because there campuses have decided by virtue of the pandemic they need to conduct classes on line in the fall was callous and extraordinarily counterproductive. i haven't had a chance to read the

and china is the greatest long term threat to the united states those words are from the f.b.i. director christopher ray who blast the chinese government in a speech made at the hudson institute raise comments about beijing are wide reaching include everything from accusing china of attempting to become the world's only superpower to claiming that china has engaged in a campaign of theft and malign influence now reached the point where the f.b.i. is opening a new china related counterintelligence case about every 10 hours of the nearly $5000.00 active f.b.i. counterintelligence cases currently underway across the country almost half are all related to china. and at this very moment china is working to compromise american health care organizations pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions conducting essential covert 1000 research. the f.b.i. director wept on to say that china manipulates politicians on a local level as well as businesses and journalists china often pushes academics and journalists to self censor if they want to travel into china. and we've seen the chine

above all, we need to be more creative about how does government and the private sector in the united states totally outweighs the state fun ding that the chinese government can provide. how do we galvanize the private sector? how does the government incentivize companies to invest and develop in countries? in projects that make sense, that are profitable, that benefit both the american company and the receiving company. we can do that. we do it all the time. our companies invest all over the world. how can we help structure a partnership out of that that advances our interest? ivo: another question coming from the audience here is the u.s. has long been blessed by two -- but in the world of cyber, that largely becomes irrelevant. what are the key implications of the cyber threat for our known security and how should we deal with them? sec. gates: this is where i think our leadership, both in the white house and in the congress, has fallen short. in terms of educating the american people that we can't isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. our oceans don't work anymore in that respect

but united states and china so ok i don't know if this actually benefits united states from economic one of you but unfortunately that's what he believes and you know we can debate about that after x. off this trade. there's no empirical evidence showing up in just a hook as a trial strategy doesn't matter to me is it is not a hallmark of 4 years of all. that did. you know that's that's his sources coming from unfortunately he wanted to have china being a champion issue in 2020 an actual problem is that today you know china has entirely in fact an operation is less than one day sofa 4 in fashion united states that this white you know the china issue is inevitably connected to this mismanagement and total fiasco in content of house and house this so this is not the more as forward on one side he has to clean up the childish you i'm just on the other side it reminds of american people of the shah contrast between china and united states respect to the congo policy issue but don't give the american media that much credit and the american public knows virtually nothing about china at the

so we have turned to the united states government to protect the united states citizens. the is the administration aware of the cooperation between zoom and tick-tock in the company that of apparently owns it with the people's republic of china? and what do you plan to do about it? >> i think that picks up right where i was talking about the 5g clean program. if you look at apps like tick-tock, we chat, if you look at the cloud providers. if you look at drones. if you look at underwater cable. it's all part of that nervous system of china's surveillance of base. and that is why we are preparing plans now, not just to clean network site, the 5g side, but the entire system. and i could not agree with you more. what these are our appendages. too that surveillance state. so you know, what i think if you are going to see a similar campaign to what we did with 5g. and i just could not agree with you more, senator. so i appreciate that. i think that support is very meaningful. and i hope you will take that view to the. department of justice. because if the administration is real

in the early days of the united states if i recall. from germany during the nazi time who came to us universities including the new school in new york and others. at the bar college which recently is represented so there's a lot much longer tradition than just people of all the generation here and. being the world's university and being credit lee attracting to talent from all over the world has been a key ingredient to soft power and will remain so in the 21st century and i fear it is another element of what richard house has also called the education of the united states as a global leader yeah it's a very good point it's a disturbing point because you can't buy soft power either you either have it or you don't undress nick member of the german parliament and professor irwin collier economics professor here in berlin to both of you gentlemen thank you very much we appreciate you sharing your stories with us tonight thank you. they get. the new security law in hong kong has created more questions than answers how far will the wall go

these programs coming back and you know when you look at the rhetoric for example coming from the united states you know with the creation of a space force talks of space being a war fighting domain any state that has significant space assets is going to be looking at how to protect its own assets and also how to ensure that it provides a certain level of deterrence against you know there are persons who write to target the. courtyard is there of with means the whole drama in doha round of our top news stories chinese style farm moving out of the consular office in the u.s. city of houston are to be ordered to close at washington described it as a necessary move to protect american intellectual property china's retaliated by ordering the u.s. to shut down its consulate in the southwestern city of chengdu the chinese government says the u.s. is blamed for strained relations between the 2 countries a 4th researcher has not been arrested for alleged visa fraud the u.s. says they didn't declare their connections to the military are white house correspondent kimberly health care town hall from washi

withdraw the united states from agreements that are seen to bind u.s. hands it's it's you can might call it the ghost of john bolton who disliked all arms control agreements and one by one he and his acolytes who remain in the administration have been cutting the united states off from them the sitting question in moscow the us is alleging russian violations they are just in d.c. says they have been dealt with yet they'll still that order was bosco's view on the pull out of this treaty what's what do they think from russian perspective and according to what our minister for out there says the russian government sees. the that the real reason of us pulling out is just that change of your policy towards that arms control agreements in general certain conclusion to each merican government came that they didn't need any arms control. agreements any more. violations which are alleged like limitations solve these inspection flights over. or limitations for the flights near the conflict zone sun such as up. in. cannot be considered as something major. steel th

between the united states and soviet union. through the end of the vietnam era, the reagan buildup and the fall of the berlin wall and i have to tell you during that time, congress played an enormously important role in conducting oversight whether it was a republican administration or democratic administration to ensure that our national security interests were protected there in the cold war. i want to commend all of you, chairman and all of your members for your continuing critical oversight to make sure that we protect our country. let me begin by making clear that there is little question that we are in a new chapter of the cold war with russia. but this new chapter with vladimir putin's russian federation is in some ways more dangerous than what we faced with the old soviet union. the soviet union, we were in a rough parity with our nuclear capabilities. a new our strength, we know their strength and in some ways that gave us leverage to be able to deal with them from a position of strength. the deal with vladimir putin,
