the united states i find to be underappreciated. i -- i say at the time not just as an american but empirely. we have our challenges, too we have a lot of them here at home and in the region and one of the changes in the region i public diplomacy, seat asians don't have a good sense of what the united states contributes to their region or the activities the americans undertaking their region, either educational sphere, cultural sphere sparks commercial sphere, security sphere, and some countries doesn't want it nobody that malaysia does a lot with the united states in the security realm but don't want to take about it. same with indonesia. so the u.s. presence is actually underappreciated. it's the footprint is very deep. our soft power appeal, the universities are ongoing attraction to southeast asians and security assistance, nobody comes near the united states in what we provide for most countries in the region. even the commercial realm. american trade is not up there with the chinese. the chineses 587 billion last year. the uni

you know, to come to the united states and it's a good way i think to look at how the united states becamech a supreme power after world war ii and everybody wanted to live here. at some point, not today, i'm not going to present to you the lesson plan but you will receive some lesson plans from me for being a part of this conference. and it's going to be called walking in their shoes and i will present to you several primary sources to use and ways to use those. a little pedagogy session on how to get war brides into the curriculum and tell their stories. i will leave you with this thought, i work with a group called honored legacies for veterans and we are a local group that works with world war ii and world war ii veterans and korean where veterans and the number one thing we've learned about talking to these people is they want their stories to matter and they want their stories to live on. and the biggest honors they say anyone can give them is to make sure that children in school learn about them. and so, i feel the same way about these were brides and what they contributed to our co

the united states really has no further compelling national security interest unless and until china those become a world military power and that's where things will become much more interesting and what it meant if i could state with you that it would depend on what it's a means and goals are i mean i mean i think we look at i mean i don't i'm a i would like someone to make the case to me that you know right now the rise of china militarily is benign for the world but what would a vent would have been more it tipped over it seems to me watching china china is not yet emerging it's reemerging it's reemerging from the western including russian colonialism. of the 19th century and it's yeah i've been there i mean the thing is i think the west doesn't get the non-western country can be successful i think it says the simple is that james is that fair. and during the 1980 s. i was teaching courses about japan and in those days the united states that was all the rage talk about the coming war with japan and japan as the rising new superpower and of course we saw that never happened and i ha

it was the united states that left the deal. it was the united states that violated the deal.was the united states that punished any country that remained respectful and compliant with the deal. so it is for the united states to return to the deal, to implement its obligations. iran never left the deal. iran is in the deal. iran has reduced some of its commitments in line with the deal. the way to go back to full compliance on the part of iran is for the united states, which has totally deft the deal, to come back and implement its obligations. now, it's clear it's a decision that president biden and his advisers need to take. whether they want to break with the failed policies of president trump or whether they want to build on his failures, if they want to build on his failures, they will only get failure as a result. >> let me ask you something that, you know, am i reading this correctly. there have been demands in the past that in addition to the united states coming back into the deal, iran should be compensated for the u.s. withdrawal. is it fair to read the khomeini sta

and yet she lost it all when the united states came after the mexican war.o both her rise, her existence, her life coming from eight orphanage in mexico city to the raw and rough frontier what was then northern mexico to end up 80 years later sitting in telling her personal story to a american historian was chronicling this story with the assumption that these people would disappear. that the mexican cultural deposit in that part of the world would totally be overwhelmed by the yankee arrival, and that you needed to take this story down so that we would use it to remember that once upon a time there were mexicans here. it showed a misconception on the part of the english speaking new kids coming west. it showed a misconception about how people interact with the land they are living on and how they remain in place. and it also was just a great story as a story. so it served all of those masters. the story of -- , who led to han oh, spanish speaking regiment, fighting for texas independence against the president of mexico who ends up in exile in mexico, a coun

they had three years to move the families to the united states. it was expanded a few months later to include the fiancees. and that bill was a three-month temporary visa for the foreign fiancees. they had three months to marry or else they had to return home. it did not begin until after the passage of this bill and the first operation war bride sailed from southampton to new york had 750 war brides on it. the act addressed the chinese wives on a non-quota basis. but they did not get japanese wives yet. that would come in 1947. as you can see, i feel that this was a pretty big impact of world war ii. the queen mary, which used to transport soldiers back and forth to england, i know that my husband's grandfather sailed on the queen mary when he was heading for "d"-day, and training in britain. the queen mary took about 12,886 g.i. war brides to the u.s. from great britain. it was not a pleasant trip. the sea could be rough. my grandfather-in-law said the worst sea legs he ever had was sailing on the queen mary and being sick. these were foreign wo

i think united states senators tried to listen to each other's views.i think united states senators try to do what is right for the country and far down is partisanship. in our system of government and if you read the federalist papers , we are very fortunate because the federalist papers were i authored as an explanation for why it is the states, the original states should adopt the constitution these were persuasive documents about why the constitution is a good thing . because if the individual states legislatures didn't adopt the constitution, we would not have it. so mister j and mister madison and mister hamilton, they had an incentive to explain what they were thinking when they wrote it. because they are explained to other erudite people who represented individual states why it is that they feel that this is the right thing to do. and in fact as many of you well know, madison had to promise there would be a bill of rights immediately upon adoption or we wouldn't havea constitution . even then there was horse trading going on in the legislative body of the united states. the othe

i speak to you today as president of the united states. at the very start of my administration, and i am sending a clear message to the world, america is back. the transatlantic alliance is back. and we are not looking backwards. we're looking forward together. it comes down to this. the transatlantic alliance is a strong foundation. the strong foundation. it is how our collective security and shared prosperity are built. the partnership between europe and the united states in my view is and must remain the cornerstone of all we hope to accomplish in the 21st century. just as we did in the 20th century. the challenges we face today are different. we are at an inflection point. when i spoke to you as a senator and even vice president, the global dynamics have shifted. new crises demand our attention. we cannot focus only on the competition among countries that threaten to divide the world or only on global challenges that threaten to sink us altogether if we fail to cooperate. we must do both. working in lockstep with our allies and partner

at the invitation of the europeans with all of the signatories to the deal on thursday also the united states rolled back its position at the united nations in terms of international sanctions and strict restrictions that were put on iranian diplomats in new york back to what it was prior to president. which maybe could be seen as it is a. branch if you will towards the iranians an incentive for them to reengage with the administration but it's a very touchy subject here in the united states and joe biden after those international speeches spoke to us media outside of the vaccine facility here in the united states and emphasize that he didn't see the united states taking any additional steps in order to get to those talks but did say that there needed to be a dialogue everybody needed to come together in order for any progress to be made thank you very much kristen salumi in washington thanks christine. meanwhile the u.s. special envoy for climate has governments to do more than the ban minimum on climate change also speaking at the munich security conference john kerry said environmental deg

in the united states of america. i know will turn it over to my colleague, mister lewis of colorado. >> mister president, distinguished senators. my name is joan and i represent colorado's second congressional district in the united states congress . like many of you i'm an attorney. i practiced law before i came to congress. tried a lot of different cases. some more unique than others. certainly never a case as important as this one. nora case with such a heavy and weighty constitutional question. for you all to decide. thankfully, as lead manager raskin so thoroughly explained, the framers answered that question for you. for us. and you don't need to be a constitutional scholar to know that the argument president trump ask you to adopt is not just wrong. it's dangerous. and you don't have to take my word for it . this body, the world's greatest deliberative body the united states senate has reached that same conclusion. in one form or another in the past 200 years in multiple occasions. over 150 constitutional scho

guntram: on china, we share of concerns between the united states and europe. e is a concern about forced labor, about an increasingly repressive regime. there is concern about the role of state owned enterprises in china and what they mean for the global economy, and on all those issues, the europeans definitely share the same concern as the united states. so the investment agreement that the e.u. signed was signed because they e.u. firmly believes that it got some serious concessions from china, including on issues such as labor standards. one can debate whether they were big enough. on the other hand, the e.u. did not consent much. yes, from the geopolitical lens, the deal it looks strange, but if you look at the fine print, a more nuanced picture emerges. guy: take the point of view the u.k. is taking, a much more direct approach to china. australia is taking a much more direct approach to china. the united states is taking a much more direct approach to china. do you think the european deal struck with china will satisfy those leaders and aggregates around

i don't think there's any perception united states of russia has some clear superiority over the united states and i think you see there's a fairly balanced relationship. in the nuclear streeter and i think by the book in the by the ministration wants to have negotiations for what we've talked about strategic stability they want predictability they want they want to secure situation in europe in asia and with russia and they want to be able to focus on other issues to a certain extent all the bilateral relationship the more general. trying to minutes into the program welcome back this week of police in new york pepper spraying a 9 year old girl while she was on you may find the following images the story. here. i get. the incident took place in january 29th when police were responding to reports of a family disturbance the girl was reportedly threatening to harm herself and can be seen resisting the police when they try to put her into a pool she could also be screaming for her father several times before pepper sprayed by. the incident sparked widespread outrage your local community. o

to continue with the deal if the united states left sanctions if the united states go by. and of course compensates for what it has done. what it is also important to remember that they are really a nation has a very bitter memory very recent better memory of their child general you know being killed under the interim administration do you have a memory of their. each a terrorist group being supported and trained by the u.s. government and most. it's too especially when you know there are scientists so it is it's very difficult to. imagine any nation but trust us. a little bit of changing. and thinking it's interesting. to know what i'm thinking is one of the hardest things is we've been talking around this and and who moves fast and he does what fascinates me little steps towards working out some kind of agreement but how do you get that done reza has a year where does the disappearance of their heart talk to is for the united states and for iraq because analysing it from both countries from the want to have to use for their domestic constituents or national our allies en

other state who having previously taken an oath as a member of congress or as an officer of the united states or a member of any state legislature or as an executive or judicial officer of any state to support the constitution and shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same. or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. and congress may vote by two thirds of the house to remove such . it does not take a constitutional scholar to recognize that is written for people who fought for the confederacy with previous military officers in the confederacy. it does not take scholar to require they be convicted first. in court with due process of law. so the question can never be right of those things have happened. now if you agree with those arguments, then i know you all get constitutions out and you'll read it. if you agree with those arguments, the suggestion of the 14th amendment applies here, is ridiculous. if you come to that conclusion, then because the managers have not separated out the counts within the articles of impeachment, the whole thing falls. i did not write tha

so in the united states for the long period of time, that roll was covered by the great state of texas but it could increase or decrease production, depending on us or global commissions. so that role has shifted, largely to the middle east. and when i say the middle east, you know basically the kingdom of saudi arabia, which is far as we can tell, has pretty much all the world's slack capacity. so i capacities the difference between what you produce and what if theoretically tomorrow if there was a problem, but not an issue, but if there was a problem elsewhere in the world, say venezuela, descending into anarchy, problems in iraq or nigeria was having some systemic issues, so countries in the gulf specifically saudi arabia, could increase production to compensate for the shortfalls elsewhere in the world. that gave the rule of swing producer, and largely that power of increasing oil production, to compensate for shortfalls elsewhere in the world, lies not just within opec but largely within the gulf. the statistics for how much slack capacity in the world are really opaque at this po

but donald j trump was president of the united states. he sought to overturn a presidential election that have been upheld by every single court to consider it. he spent months insisting to hist base that the only way he could lose was a dangerous wide raising description against them in america itself. he relentlessly attempted to persuade his followers that the peaceful transfer of power that was taking place in the was an abomination that had to be stopped at all costs. he flirted with groups like the proud boys telling them to stand back and stand by one endorsing violence and sparking death threats to his opponents pretty summons and armed, angry, and dangerous crowd that wanted to keep him in power and was widely reported to be poised on a hair trigger for violence in a ahis direction. he then made his heated statement circumstances so it was clear where it was foreseeable that those statements would spark extraordinary imminent violence. he then failed to defend the capitol. the congress the vice president during the insurrection,

in the united states capitol.ore the capitals penetrated after we saw the violence being committed. where we kneel that the members of congress were endangered. the people who work here were endangered. the people who are in the capitol, all of the people were at danger. we all saw that. and the of the united states knew about it. and he did nothing. he did nothing to stop the violence. he could have called off his loyalists . and told them to get out of the capitol and he did not do that. he could've said in the national guard in order to protect aspirated he did not do that. and he never condemned the participants in this mob that penetrated the capitol for what they did. i will summarize my feeling about that by agreeing with rep. liz cheney, the conference chair is sitting on the floor of the house. the me just quote for a statement. the president of the united states amended this mob, assembled this mob and lit the flame of this attack. everything that follows was his doing. none of this would've happened wit

so some had to remain in the united states.others under threat of deportation decided they would rather risk persecution in their country of origin, rather than be deported. they would get seek asylum in another country. i do provide information in particular cases about that, about the choice to self-deport or be deported to another country that is safer for those who never made it. and those that had to remain in the united states. but i had to call a halt to some of my discussion. thank you. >> now we have one more, if you would unmute. >> go ahead. you are now unmuted. go ahead. we cannot hear you. we are going to move on. john's hand is back up. unmute. and rejoin the conversation. john? >> what is different about these nicaraguan deportations is that they are being to portrayed through a regime which tortures its opponents and all three of these people have been involved in anti regime activities and as the human rights watch reports and all sorts of people report. we are deporting people and they are being tortured. >> y

so, could you speak a little bit about pre-american pre-united states states and pre colonial indigenous politics? yeah, i mean, we don't know exactly how many. native nations there were prior to european arrival the estimate somewhere between 600 and 650 the best population figures that we have today say that there were somewhere between seven to 12 million native people living in what we now call the continental united states and and they they range widely from very small fishing communities in the northwest to the large plains tribes in in the in the in the in the plain states. you have the problem communities in the southwest who are very village oriented in terms of the way the way they lived in really tight societies and then you have the major nations in the southeast the so called five civil rights as they would come to be called in the early 1800s the cherokee talk, chickasaw creek and seminal and then the northeast of course he had the mighty iroquois nation howdenashoni confederacy that had some influence on the founding fathers and their articulation and understanding of demo

ministrations to take home what we've already seen a very important 1st step being taken by the united states as of thursday it had said that his secretary of state would be participating in the p 5 plus one meeting with iran this is certainly a stark contrast to the actions we saw under donald trump the other thing that we've seen is this kind of olive branch be extended by the united states in terms of undoing another policy of the trumpet ministration with respect to iran and that is lifting those restrictions on iran's mission in new york for the united nations so these are kind of the gestures that we're seeing but at the same time what we're also seeing is a very clear understanding by the united states that it can't. meet with iran without the help of its global partners because there is a sort of brinkmanship that's going on right now the united states has been very firm in saying that it wants to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement with iran to limit its program but only if it sees compliance under that agreement and the fear is that here in the united states that iran has not done tha

how did you end up in the united states? -- they end up in the united states? >> my father came here by choice. he wanted to pursue his dreams, have a family in the best country in the world. my mother, unfortunately, was forced to flee very different circumstances. she came with her mother, her sister, left her father behind. he ran a gas station in cuba. he chose tuesday to protect his business and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him -- he chose to stay to protect his business, and eventually the castro regime came and took everything from him. my parents met in new york. if you were to ever have a greco cuban member of congress, it would be one from the state of new york where so many people come to pursue the american dream. they became small business owners. that was their american dream. and one generation later, i am a member of the united states congress. that is so special and unique, and we need to preserve that for future generations. host: what do you remember your parents saying to you about america and their view of it?

the constitution of the united states contains what may be deemed a bill of rights for the people of each state. no state shall pass any bill of attainder in this form. the power of legislature over the lives and fortunes is susstained. so now let's go to the text of the constitution. turning to the text of the constitution is for many of course the most appropriate and the most important starting place for trying to answer a constitution-based question. there's several passages of the united states constitution that relate to federal impeachment process. let's go to the reading of the text now. it always begins with the words of the text and only resorts to legislative history or history itself if the meaning of the text is not plain. as the supreme court has emphasized, statutory interpretation begins with a text. the constitution was written to be understood by the voters. its words and phrases were used in the normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning. we must enforce plain language according to its terms. if the president is impeached, the unambiguous text of th

when that failed, he tried to intimidate the vice president of the united states of america. to refuse to certify the vote and send it back to the states. none of it worked. so what does he do? with his back against the wall, when all else has failed, he turns back to his supporters who he already spent months telling them the election was stolen and he amplified it further, he turned it up a notch and told them that they had to be ready not just to stop the steal but to fight like hell. >> we are going to fight for the survival of our nation and we are going to keep on fighting. we will never surrender, we will only win. now is not the time to retreat, now is the time to fight harder than ever before. we have to go all the way and we are going to fight like hell, i will tell you right now. we will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield, we will never give in, we will never give up, we will never back down, we will never, ever surrender. >> you will see that in the months the president made these statements, people listened. armed supporters surrounded election officia

united states senators really are different. states senators before, two of them in this room from pennsylvania, i like to think are friendly toward me, or at least friend of mine when we are not politically adverse. and i have been around their predecessors, and one thing i have discovered, whether it be democrats or republicans, united states senators are patriots first, patriots first. they love their country. they love their families. they love the states that they represent. there is not a member in this room who has not used the term" i represent the great state of" field in the blank. why? you think yours is greater than others because these are your people. these are the people that sent you here to do their work. they trusted you with their work. they trusted you with the responsibility of representative government. you know, ifeel proud to know my senators, senator casey, appear in the back, senator toomey over to the left. it's funny, this is an aside, but it's funny. you ever notice how when you're talking or you hea

make the united states take a step back and all of them. they'll be open for negotiations. in point of fact there really is no feasible tactical or even operational defeat that would cause that reassessment if anything if the japanese are successful tactically operationally it would only cause the united states to redouble its efforts and so i don't think that there's really a feasible way one of the worries. that the japanese government has is what's going to happen in mainland china. and so if you're looking at where the japanese think they can do the most harm it's going to be those mainland china forces because the forces in the imperial holdings in the pacific those are largely cut off and they're going to wither on the vine and the home island forces aren't going to get in the fight until the invasion happens. and so where the japanese hope that they're going to be able to maybe redression is possibly in mainland asia. from your vantage point looking back. what what qualities and truman do you think it was? that brought him through th

so how do you get here and had to get in the united states?ack in 2011 when panama, in the southern part of panama, the eastern part of panama with columbia there's a jungle about 10,000 square miles in size and there's only come it's very mountainous, very treacherous, snakes, jungle, cliffs, only so many ways you can work your way through there. prior to that time we focused a lot on the narcotic flow that would come into the united states and the traditional threats at airports and things like that. if you would come and asked all of us would people walks to that jungle to get to the united states, the answer would've been no, you are crazy. that would be insane. it takes anywhere from seven 10.10 days. i think you did a good job on that. when you look at that, so in 2011 their words four individuals from pakistan to walk through that jungle. this was back in s&h and 2011 . we looked at it, what's going on? why would you do the? we started to pay attention to it. started to build programs and we used programs that we used traditionally and

i think united states senators try to listen to each others views and i think united states senatorsntry and far down is partisanship. in our system of government and if you read the federalist papers, we're very fortunate because the federalist papers were authored as an explanation for why it is the states, the original states should adopt the constitution. these were persuasive documents about why the constitution is a good thing because if the individual state legislatures didn't adopt the constitution, we would not have it, so mr. jay and mr. madison and mr. hamilton, they had an incentive to explain what they were thinking when they wrote it because they are explained to other erudite people who represent individual states why it is that they feel that this is the right thing to do, and, in fact, as many of you well know, madison had to promise that there would be a bill of rights immediately upon adoption or we wouldn't have a constitution. even then there was horse trading going on in the legislative body of the united states. the other day when i was down here in washington,

she's now a commander in the navy reserve job corps, and she is also a state department a united states state department official. so on the far right is the highest ranking japanese. working today general paul nakasone, who is the head of the us cyber command and the national security agency in fort meade. so i think we've come pretty far from the time when we were considered to be as as even as as us citizens, but because of our ancestry we're considered unfit to serve. we've come a long ways and there's still a ways to go. i reflect now on the these great opportunities that i had to serve this country, but i can't help to remember and it really hit me hit home to me. i'm in the last few years of of service as we were promoting and and becoming more open about the the way that diversity enhances our mission. and i had no idea that. all these men what they endured in the 442nd and the 100th regiment are the 100 infantry battalion, but they they made these sacrifices for their families for the freedoms that their families didn't have at the time, but they also did it for this country is

partly to ensure this doesn't happen in the united states, there are a number of laws and regulationsoncerning the participation of military personnel in political activities on public -- or in public demonstrations of dissent and protest. in order that no military member of this command, through ignorance or misunderstanding, should find himself in violation of these laws and regulations, this briefing will outline in general terms. there aren't many and they aren't complicated. they all make sense. their constitutionality has been tested in the courts and perhaps most important, they are being scrupulously observed by the overwhelming majority of american serviceman. our federal constitution guarantees to all americans the right to freedom of speech, but this is not an absolute license and there are several criminal statutes, which, quite constitutionally, designate certain types of speech as criminal acts. section 1381, title 18 of the united states code provides whoever entices or procures or attempts to entice or procure any person in the armed forces to desert therefrom or any s

aired -- united states. what we have here are things from our educational collection , which allows people to look at things, physically hold them, handle them. the purpose is to gather, protect, and present the history of gaming. and so this allows us to give demonstrations of various types of, in this instance, things that are considered to be special work or cheating devices. i take a magnet here, i have a dice cube. it is what they call magnetic dice. it can sometimes also work in an opposite direction. this is a magnetized lead ball. as you can see, it will stick to the magnet. this is an unprocessed dice cube out of the 20's. and this cube here is very interesting because it is what you call a tap die. it has not been spotted yet, but you can see there is a mechanical device in the cube itself. by tapping the dice solidly against the table, it will shift the center part to one side of the cube to make it special. you can tap the opposite side to bring it back to fair. these records allow us to do resea
