that is because, to show support for latin america, is to show support for the united states. ll of this is to state july 4 toasts are the first quantifiable evidence i turned to. the second quantifiable evidence i looked at, to study popular u.s. thinking about latin america was this, a page from the 1850 u.s. census. as you see at the top, it says, free inhabitants in blank. in the county of florence, state of illinois. lawrence county illinois, in the eastern part of the state, a community of farmers. it is so rural, there's not a town name and it just goes by the county. on september 30, 1850, william christie, assistant marshall. this census taker went from farm to farm knocking on doors and saying, who lives here? what are their names? what are their ages? it is the in person version of the electronic 2020 census we hopefully filled out in the past several months. this is how was done 200 years ago, more labor-intensive in the data collection. the next slide will zoom in on the last household, so we can read it. we see here, james knab's head of household, 59-year-old, no

and remain in the united states. it is almost telegraphing to them how to game and beat the system. which changes do you think create the most opportunity for the cartels and smugglers to recruit new people in the united states? >> the number-one change was eliminating migrant protection protocols, the program otherwise known as remain in mexico. if a smuggler is able to communicate to a potential person coming from guatemala, honduras, el salvador or elsewhere, they will be successful if they come to the united states if they bring a child with them. and that will allow them to obtain entry into the united states. that is the number-one thing people care about, the number-one selling point. with remain in mexico, we had a program where people were allowed to present their claims, they were allowed their due process. they simply waited in mexico while that due process occurred, a country they were willingly and on their journey to the united states. eliminating that program created a huge magnet for smugglers to star

but the power position inside the united states is consistent.erry: the u.s. has had to take on in enormous amount of additional debt along with many other countries in western europe in particular, japan and some extent china but the u.s. gdp debt to gdp ratio pretty well 100% an enormous amount of debt, there is reasonable confidence that can be dealt with over the short term but it does place additional burden on the united states and away for example the second world war places additional burden of debt on the united states. >> first of all a very low interest rate environment the cost of debt servicing as long as interest rates remain low is small, secondly the united states can. money out, we have and we enjoy the world global reserve currency, the only country that is close to american economic power is china and china currency is not comfortable on the free market, that's an advantage we continue to have. i agree the idea of debt with reckless abandonment is something we should be cautious about but when you think about investing in a com

in it and its foreign policy because the united states says as peter mentioned and room mentioned become the world leader in oil production in washington dependence on hydrocarbon supplies from the persian gulf is declining so is the commitment to saudi arabia security you know the full support for israel does remain and us middle east agenda but as you know many people are skeptical. that this actually isn't a line with the national interest of the united states per se and there is a greater arson divide over. the you know this decision is more than a cursory question and the security of israel is anywhere that the united states counter-terrorism i think is is is is is increasingly becoming a highly politicized issue that is going to kind of manipulate the emotional conscience for owners and therefore you get leaders such as president obama presidential that are trying to kind of reining this moves and say you know you know enough is enough we're out and i think the only thing that perhaps. you know keep some policymakers in washington i'm not saying all of. this a year you know

oh i think china is very i was a minimal 3 military threat and united states. absolutely i mean i think was daniel before he was saying describing the. domestic and foreign policy i think misconception is just way too rational is. that american is as a crusader's they were sort of a kind of you know basis foreign policy on a very narrow section of morality in which america is always right and wherever it . goes on the road here before you go on i'm not hypocritical no we're going to go to a hard break and after that heart break we'll continue into the discussion on u.s. china relations stay with r.t. . as you read the stand in here from us and. move from one house. on our good armor our from our trophy for our brothers to us what are the 4 for america is a. i'm going to let them but i don't catch and then you cut and kick and nail i had food as a child for truffle that it. was then now modeling my michelle little subtle it does. and model. number set up around the hay for the innocent doing. good for its whole food place choice i knew you had been fair lots of

what's the united states to do? if the british withdraw aid from these two states, this might be they fear an invitation. to soviet machinations so in this atmosphere of growing tension and distrust in germany. and around around europe president truman decides the united states. is going to assume the burden that britain has laid down the united states is going to pick it up. it's a decisive moment. british power is shrinking in europe and in the mediterranean the united states power is expanding and this moment when the united states says we're going to pay the bill. we're going to help provide political support military aid. economic aid to greece and turkey in their time of difficulty. but of course truman needs what in order to make this happen. he doesn't just have a checkbook. he has to go to the united states congress. he has to say i got to get the congress to pass this appropriation to help aid to greece and turkey. so what does he do goes to congress in march of 1947? the ask that congress approved 400 mill

there are moments when the united states is more welcoming, and moments when the united states is not welcoming at all. so we watch this with great interest, and try to identify the moments when these things are happening. >> is the current period of turmoil and debate over immigration different in any important way from the past times this country has gone through? >> i would argue that the current weave of nativism, of anti immigrant sentiment, of xenophobia is not different from what we have seen the past. while it seems to us to be peppered with acts of violence, and ferocity, many other acts of violence, anti-immigrant riots. anti immigrant riots in the 18 eighties. there have been a lot of moments in american history when the anti immigrant sentiment has been translated into true ugliness. and has brought great harm to the foreign born. so i would argue that the current wave, as unpleasant and off putting as it is, is not that unusual in the history of our country. >> what causes congress to ultimately act during these periods? >> congress acts most frequently when there is enor

in the united states -- and the united states is more indispensable than ever.et me give one example. the two thirds of the planet that is covered with water, the oceans, the great global common, will be policed unkept orderly by the united states navy or it will not be orderly. we are 75 years on from when at churchill's urging here, the united states unfurled a flag of world leadership. 75 years later, our nation is wiser than it once was. about the sinews and the limits of its strength. the united states has experienced some hard learning on the road from fulton and churchill's appearance there to hear. a hard learning began four years after churchill spoke here when president truman from independence, missouri took the nation into war in korea. the hard learning continued in vietnam. it continued in iraq in the first decade of this century. and it continues today in afghanistan, where the united states seems to be in the painfully slow process of disengaging, in this impossible task. the task of nationbuilding in a country that is not really a nation. more t

i agree that i think the united states we have the capacity to manage the situation and i think that we have the resources and i think that you know this is been painted in some ways as a border crisis but what i would really like to draw attention to is that i think the crisis is really what's going on in central america there's 200000 people that have been displaced by tropical storms or hurricanes and you know thousands of children run very high risks of violence in these countries and many people are really leaving because of very desperate situations and i think that we in united states can welcome them it's a logistical challenge but i think really we look at the factors of why people are leaving it's very very complicated reasons that are usually related to poverty and violence as well as the exacerbating effect the terrible situation of coping 1000 and climate change so really there is a lot going on these children are very desperate and i think that we have a moral responsibility to do something about it and and i do have confidence in the hope in the by the ministration tha

invited the chinese to come to the united states alaska's part of the united states so be the host brings the guests there and immediately at the beginning dresses down the guests and says look you're violating all of these human rights issues in china in your own country taiwan hong kong all part of china and then says it's a violation of the international rules based order and as a consequence we're going to focus on it and the chinese diplomat said the temerity to say well wait you're an imperfect democracy what about black lives matter what about the suppression of black people for not just since george floyd but for a long time etc etc and then the american press denounces the chinese diplomats for being insubordinate and speaking up and saying obvious truths which they had no intention of saying but they're not going to be lectured to so here you have the united states up on the pedestal acting like it's bringing to that the 10th or maybe the 11th commandment the 11th commandment is listen to us we are god and the rest of the world like you know thank you we don't want t

has built since the 2nd world war designed by the united states directly by the united states everyone must conform to it and china must too and if it doesn't conform to it and that's how they define the threat is that a fair thing to say said no that's not our sort of like what it ought to jim in the beginning my introduction. was not international or exists right now. and which he has faith has been. a party to along with other democratic countries is under threat by china and weapon chinese call everything with chinese characteristics so that means that free trade freedom of navigation. certainly free enterprise and non mercantilist system. one where there is something right multiple radical cooperation on trade and where there is not an acceptance of our intellectual property stuffed full stereo that that's the kind of world to 9 states seeks to preserve an increase not to enforce upon others which had been barely barely getting if they pay him a pretty good game today and lincoln is saying is that china is challenging it well i mean it is a multi-ethnic polar world right

citizens of the united states. the first immigrants we have to remind them came from europe. so the legal status for immigrants since this country was formed and now it's over 20 years since we have had any kind of immigration reform in our country. and we need it right now especially in this critical time. >> we have talked about the need for a latino representation and elected bodies whether congress or in california or texas or new mexico but there are moments latinos run for office you endorse the african-american candidate. why is coalition building still so important to you? what drives you when you pick a candidate? >> those that really have our values and of them doing that. it's important to have latino representation but those that would represent what the people need and want. actually every person elected think they are public servant who has to do public service. so we want to choose people on their values and not just as a group. we do need latino representation of more women but not all women or repr

president but ahead of the meeting chinese ambassador to the united states so he 10 k. summed up the chinese you off u.s. diplomatic engagement in the in depends if it were you know if you have gone i think most countries in the world including some american allies in asia actually have several questions in their hearts. the 1st one is can the united states really play the role of a responsible stakeholder in international affairs. second is the united states really ready to return to multilateral cooperation and make its due contribution. another question is the united states really prepared to show due respect for the interests of other countries and listen to their voices. change i think these problems exist in the hearts of most countries in the world including the allies of the united states however some countries do not openly say that i hope the u.s. side can understand the concerns of everyone. that i got him you know can chew. well it certainly is a chinese concern oughtn't to model. on whether this was addressed at the u.s. john i'm eating in alaska. the creat

that's just one take on the immigration situation in the united states you're about to hear 3 more. rachel really good to have a chance of being in the stream camilla tell everybody who you are what you today. however i made a mess i believe will director of both central american research center that are going to work out what we are community based organization the have to focus their organizing and legal in our communities organizing we do organizing work around immigrant rights and on the legal side here but imagine any humanitarian family be your middle and direct legal cover with immigrant get to have a communique nice to see tell the world what you did thanks i mean my name is ken i'm an attorney and researcher with human rights 1st and my research focuses on the effects of u.s. policy on asylum seekers and other people's you can protection in the united states and we advocated for the united states to uphold its domestic laws and its international treaty commitments to refugees get to see thanks for joining us and rachael finally welcome to the show what do we need to know ab

in the united states was not only evaluated by the united states people in the united states and also will be evaluated by the people in the world how china is doing it's not evaluated not only by the united states achieved. was through reform and opening up we have achieved and develop a great deal of very aspect is that should i say we have contributed a credit to you in terms of regional and load case development. trying to achieve the couldn't find a great deal for they go set by the united nations so money was created but other countries have. made the people great still on the child now want all the countries to. peaceful development and all foreign policy should be placed. peaceful development not based on its own little trip power to kill to other countries and to. him. that don't look just to let you take government all. but on the country not to kill people in other countries all to you what they are doing is not good for the united states. so what united states should do is to change their image not to push its own so-called democracy money people in the united states as th

in the united states and to all of you around the world welcome we begin the day with the transatlantic ties that bind more or less u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken is meeting with his nato counterparts this week he brought his tool belt with him because he plans on doing a lot of repairing and rebuilding u.s. president biden has promised to make good on the past 4 years in which trump's america 1st policies left u.s. allies feeling as if relations were going from bad to worse america's new top diplomat wants relations between washington and nato members to be closer than ever before and to be more unified than they have ever been. is lincoln's wish list more like wishful thinking as pulling our correspondent terry scholz terry has covered nato for years the been the flow of the transatlantic tide good evening to you terese of how would you describe u.s. nato relations tonight are we talking about a high tide or is it more like a low tide. well definitely a rising tide brant but there really wasn't anywhere to go but up after the 4 years of president trump as you mentioned very d

oh i think china's very well was a minimal military threat and united states. absolutely i mean i think was daniel before he was saying describing the that the domestic and foreign policy i think his conception is just way too rational is. that america is a it's a crusader state what sort of a kind of you know basis foreign policy on a very murky section of morality in which america is always right where ever it. gets on the ticket before you go wrong not hypocritical no we're going to go to a hard break and after that heart break will continue into the discussion on u.s. china relations say with arctic. but you're on the stand here from us and. are all over them when i saw. that i know are more trouble than there are other democrats but out of the 4 or 4 of them together. i'm going to let them but i'm going to cut in then you cut them and keep an eye on what i don't think is a channel for truffle not that it doesn't have a. lot of water and i was going on the show little subtle and the. other thing they owned model. number of the hey how not doing. this whole

have to end this war responsibly not repeat the mistakes of the past so we can end it and the united states could do the same if we do and this war and responsibly we should not repeat that people behind us again how do you know the state just you know said what central russia in all the countries around it should not create a back. seat with a peace and a sort of men ok i got a job and a robot thank you gentlemen many thanks to my guests in boston in omaha and in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember. as a financial survival guide stacey. fill out let's say i'm the. greece bank of the fight. thank you for taking. on the story that's right. debt slavery. always be polite never engage with a negative a good or confrontational. don't get into any conversation or start answering questions just ask for an attorney. tara geishas. definitely. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich. or if you're poor and. you've got 2 eyes 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that

only the power of the united states deters aggression.onight i again warned the north vietnamese of the continued to escalate the fighting when the united states is withdrawing its forces i will meet my responsibility as commander-in-chief of our armed forces to take the action but i consider necessary and defend the security of our american men. the action that i have announced tonight but the leaders of north vietnam on notice. we will be patient and working for peace. we'll be conciliatory at the conference table. but we will not be humiliated. you will not be defeated. we will not allow american man by the thousands to be killed by an enemy from privileged sanctuaries. the timing came along to go to end the war through peaceful negotiations. we stand ready for those negotiations. we made major efforts. many of which must remain secret. i say tonight all of the offers in approaches made previously remain on the conference table. whenever hanoi is ready to negotiate seriously. if the enemy responds to our most conciliatory offers for pe

actually, the united states and the united states is already engaging allies and also partners on north korea. first of all, in the broad statement, the u.s., australia, japan, and india, in that statement, denuclearization of north korea was embedded into that statement. that is number one. number two, i think the united states will need to also visit southeast asia asean and engage them in the pacific and get their support plankton authorization of the north korea peninsula. they have been doing so, the asean states. that is another step to take. also the eu and other european countries and the brits, and also the u.n. security council. in relation to that, there is a question from mr. taylor about denuclearization in north korea. i think this jargon about denuclearization became a bit of an issue, unfortunately, in the past week. but to me, the united states, the core definition would be defeated, and it could be irreversible, denuclearization of north korea. it is stated in the u.n. security council resolution as well as mr. blinken's trilateral statements back in 2016 and so forth.

to keep out the united states was glad to do so but the european union's farcical involvement only made matters worse and after a while, was effectively abandoned. then, the united nations became involved and asked nato to be its military agent and its peacekeeping operations. finally, the united station united nations personnel, were taken hostage. and they employed nato air power with real effect, forced to come to the conference table, for better or worse impose an agreement on them, and now has a large nato contingent that is enforcing it. the united states also stamped its authority, on the european members of nato. and since the logistical supply chain go through hungry, it drew the central year peony into nato operations in a small way. whether nato will apply this in future strategic planning, but for the armchair -- who have closed and being passive and divided nato. bosnia has been a lesson. these institutional failures, are in their own terms and on our own times, if we could move further to the end of the 24 century. however, an alarming and unstable future is on th

policy on asylum seekers and other people's you can protection in the united states and we advocated for the united states to uphold its domestic laws and its international treaty commitments to refugees good to see you thanks for joining us and rachael finally welcome to the show what do we need to know about you. and for having me my name is rachel schmitt key i'm the advocate for latin america at refugees international where a d.c. based organization and we advocate for lifesaving assistance and protection for displaced people and i focus predominantly on central america and mexico yes i want to show you 1st of all a quote that i saw this is from the department of homeland security and i want to share that with you and get your response from for the situation that u.s. is in right now so let's have a look at this as noted by the president in his executive order securing our borders does not require us to ignore the humanity of those who seek to cross them we are both a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants it feels almost like this is really difficult on the one had . this is

the united states military in the region is outdone.y have parking lot -- largest navy period and certainly in the region significantly so. they have more air force aircraft than we have, and they have the largest arsenal of conventional offensive missiles of our nature the navy is better and nape of our air forces are better but the fact that we are outgunned is a problem for us and that's why these war games have suggested that if we have this kind of military challenge, in the war games we actually lose. i have played a war game similar to myself when i was on commission for looking at the national defense strategy of the united states in 2018. and we concluded this, which is confirmed by the military leaders in the region. that if we had a war with china we would see losses to personnel and high capital assets we have not seen since world war ii. we would be challenged to win and indeed we can lose. so what do we have to do? what we want to do is restore the effective military deterrence that we had. we don't want china to be incent

which is what many liberals in the west had hoped and there is i think broad consensus now in the united states and in much of europe that that's just not going to happen china is an authoritarian state and we need to be prepared for the consequences of that and act accordingly and i think this is what his mission is. let's talk a little bit about what the chinese reaction was we heard after those meetings in alaska from the american side that behind closed doors the tone was more civil what did chinese leadership have to say about the tone behind closed doors if anything well i think for china they didn't expect that they didn't expect it to be so that this home would be would have been so harsh and i think for china it is now clear that the you as it's not. going to be. i think because before before the meeting there were still a little bit of hopes that as might actually still be because it's biden out or it's not trump it's like a little bit more predictable maybe that he might be a little bit. he might just go a little bit more like. a track but at the end i think after this meeting it's j

the united states was glad to do so. but the other pain unions farcical involvement made matters worse. and after a while was effectively abandoned. then the united nations became involved and asked nato to be its military agent in its peacekeeping operations. finally when united nations nato personal taken hostage. the united states intervened employed nato airpile with real effect forced the competence to the conference table for better or worse imposed an agreement on them and now heads a large nato contingent that is enforcing it. in the course of stamping its authority on events the united states also stamped its authority on the european members of nato. and since the logistical supply chain goes through hungering it drew the central europeans into nato operations in a small way. whether nato will apply the logic of this crisis in future strategic planning remains to be seen. but for the armchair theorists of a closed passive and divided nato bosnia has be no end of a lesson. his various institutional failures are w

they will be released to family members or sponsors in the united states so that if the the notion of teaching of children right now really is only be sorry to the the recreated of a process to process these children find their family members and release them to their family members so i would say caging of children is really the problem right now with a few honorable exceptions journalists have all been going out there those that 2 areas allowed by the biden administration obviously journalists a band from a lot of the so-called cages and they have been talking about foreign policy in these countries or the history and bidens we talk about natural disasters when it comes to those countries biden's got a plan $4000000000.00 for el salvador guatemala and honduras you think you think $4000000000.00 means much compared to the is a billions or is it trillions that the united states has spent in this country with . well it's not just that it doesn't mean much but it's also that it's going to the wrong things and i should also say there is no such thing as a natural disaster. in 2 respects

has president of the united states? but i pretty much had to walk into, washington. at a trot the south has seceded seven states with many more ready to succeed. i have been asked by the north to send troops down. i profess that i will not be the aggressor. i will not fire the first shot. but the south has taken over nearly 100 forts armaments. supplies do we let this go on? this has to stop somewhere. well in the middle of charleston bay in south carolina. fort sumner stands at the ready to protect this great country. we still occupy that fort with general anderson. he is running out of supplies. he is asking for support. do i send in a ship? do i let them surrender? to me. this is the point of no return. we are standing our ground here. but sadly on april 12th, 4:30 in the morning. the cannons started firing on fort sumner at 7:30 general anderson returned fire this was the beginning of the war? i had asked for 75,000 militia from the individual states. to squelch this rebellion i hope that it doesn't last much longer than the month. but the war has come. it good af

we have to end this war responsibly not repeat the mistakes of the past so we can end it and united states could do the same thing if we do and this war and responsibility we should not repeat that people haunt us again i mean our state just you know said what. russia and all the countries around it we should not create a vacuum we should let the cease fire with peace and ok i got a job and i wrote about thank you gentlemen many thanks to my guests in boston omaha and in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at our q. see you next time and remember. i'm going to trust my. purpose. was. to. bring you a preview of. that employment in the new things that. we're . not. i'm sure you do not sound like your work and still can always. everything is often the beginning but it might be us. not yet you nationally precise. janish. can boy get him in the new all i still would be able to see. lloyd get a 6 all extremists all of which i don't know much your purpose that holds. the new top of that if you should get a bill be you are you able reviews are. in the store and don't let them mak

and yet, two years later in 1778, the united states negotiates its first written treaty with the -- and that tree article six encourages and invites delaware to create a native state and they were invited to have a representative in congress, so how do we go from being savages to kill everything, and then two years later, being invited to create an indian state and have representation? and that was a clause that reappears in several other treaties, including ones with the cherokee and the -- as well. and then 1795, in 1830, and 1835 as well. and so, what you really have or these conflicting and positions by federal policy makers and lawmakers understanding that we need to find a way to engage with indigenous peoples because spain and france and russia even, out in california, still had their own designs on north america and so united states was trying to find a way to woo native peoples to negotiate with them to become trading partners and military allies and political relatives with the united states. at the same time, being steeped in ethnocentric mindset, believing that native people

the united states was glad to do so, for the european union's farcical was abandoned. it asked nato to be the military agent in its peace keeping operations. finally, when the united nations nato personnel were taken hostage, the united states intervened, employed nato air power with real effect, forced them to the table, forced an agreement on them and now has a large nato contingent that is enforcing it. in the course of stamping its authority on events, the united states also stamped its authority on the european members of nato. and since the logistical supply chain goes through hungary, it drew the central europeans into nato operations in a small way. whether nato will apply the logic of this crisis in future strategic planning remains to be seen. but for the armed chair theorists, a closed and passive divided nato, bosnia has been no end of a lesson. these various institutional failures are winding up in their own terms and in our own times. if we look ahead still further to the end of the 21st century, however, an alarming and unstable future is on the cards. co

he served the united states congress, he also served in the united states senate. he and his wife were the host during james mckinnon's administration in washington d.c.. on the south left and for their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become his first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're 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, the commander of the army of northern virginia, that they no longer could hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news, jefferson davis joined the cabinet, sent his family on the road for the 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 unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was pushed put on a boat and move back up here to fort monroe and

and then stay on in the united states, right? and so this is -- it's how you legally categorize -- and you know, it was pointed out. this is just a choice that the u.s. government is deciding to make because they don't want to have to deal with these people. not a cheerful way to end, but we will talk about post-9/11 and we will have a final section where we think about how history is a part of sort of our present and our future, and maybe we can come up with something more cheerful to think about. all right, thank you, and. >>> weeknights this month we're featuring american history tv programs as a preview of what's available every weekend on c-span3. tonight a look back to the civil war confederate generals, historian james bud robertson talks about robert e. lee's ties to virginia and the various military campaigns that took place throughout the state. he compares general lee's life after the war to other generals and veterans. the shenandoah battlefield foundation hosted this event. enjoy american history tv every weekend on
