because moscow is more than economic competitor of the united states. rush and the united states are not competing for the same markets or for the same sources of materials. they do not have territorial disputes. so in a way, most cool is, or at least it might be easier to deal with that. well, most definitely not as far as washington cost can all make my but when it comes to military, my, i think i'm going to russia would argue that it has even a certain degree of superiority. and in fact, in the latest read assessment reported by the us intel community, it was specifically stated that the russian military rad increases dramatically when it serves, or if it serve as to what they called the force multiplier for china. as far as the americans are concerned, do you think all these talk with the russians about strategic stability isn't ultimately about russia in the united states, or is it about the united states and china and russia serving simply as this trail you for a more difficult conversation well, i think it's more complex, so whereas if you dig some specific areas of the curren

so individuals in the united states committing acts against americans in the united states. host: from the administration's counterterrorist strategy, number one is understanding and sharing domestic terrorism related information. they say the u.s. government will enhance domestic terrorism analysis and improve information sharing throughout law enforcement at the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels. in florida, this is chris. caller: good morning. i tell you what, i am anti-violence. i am becoming concerned about the government's bias against conservative views. i am an independent who voted for obama. i have been watching reports that the fbi was involved in the january 6 marches. i do not called in insurrection. i call it a protest. i do not think there was a single shot fired by anyone in that crowd. i think they were just really angry people about what went on during the election. from what i have seen from things put in the windows to prevent people from seeing what was going on, people who were poll watchers being thrown out, pallets being harvested

come out but also because i have seen the potential of the creative industry to transform in the united states. son in the audience may know the state of georgia and atlanta has recently equipped hollywood has been the film center here in the united states that has happened in the last ten through 12 years because of investment in public policy decisions that the city of atlanta made to invest in the film industry. now you see georgia film industry has eclipsed hollywood but also a significant driver of jobs in the georgian economy. there's no reason why we can't see that happening in other parts of africa where we have that dynamism and ingenuity and creativity. also something that links africans around the world that the entire diaspora with a common culture. i will come the focus on culture and the arts. there is a tremendous opportunity there. we're looking at ways to support that including the exchanges between africa and the united states. >> and it is a fantastic moment. >> that yes. [inaudible] that exactly was that that now it is the market. we say africa is a land of opportunity. and

united states is now vaccinated 64% of our dolts with at least one shot. this 4.5 months ago we were only a 5% with one shot. it took a herculean effort on the part of art government to manage one of the biggest and i would say the most complicated logistical challenges in our history. the ingenuity of science building on decades of research to develop a vaccine. it took the full capacity of american companies manufacturing and delivering the vaccines around-the-clock and as a result we have the lowest number of daily deaths since the first day of this pandemic. our economy is rebounding. a vaccination program has saved tens of thousands of lives. with that count growing each day it has allowed millions of americans to get back to living their lives. at the beginning of my presidency we have been clear that we need to attack this virus globally as well. this is about our responsibilities, our humanitarian obligation to save as many lives as we can and a responsibility to our values. we value the inherent dignity of all people. in times of trouble americans

so the united states botanic garden is a very old institution within the united states government with really fascinating routes. it may not seem obvious today, but the founding fathers were quite unified in their insistence on the creation of a national botanic garden. i like to begin the story of the united states botanic garden in 1796 when george washington wrote a letter in which he laid out his vision for a federal university and a federal botanical garden and he was quite adamant as the chief executive at the time that it be present near the president's house would eventually became the white house and unfortunately washington never lived to see the botanic garden realized within his lifetime nor did the botanical garden get put actually near the white house, but eventually it was created and as a part of the united states capital complex. i should note one interesting thing if i may as a point of syntax. i will always try to say botanic garden when speaking about the us botanic garden but in the general sense talking about generic botanical gardens. i may go back and forth and

the united states has a role. that spells out united states will support the specifics and it is in organizations in russia. at the same time, the russian federation was labeled as an adversary. they have said publicly they will stymie the development of russia. what kind of organization, the united states and the west, will be supporting -- if we are an adversary? it is clear the united states like in the 1930's, we have labeled them as foreign agents. is your label as a foreign agent -- does not preclude you from operating in the country. if it is an extremist organization, that is a whole different story. the organization in question has called for riots and public disorder. it has openly instructed people how to make molotov cocktails. do use them against law enforcement. it called for [indiscernible] america just recently went through a grievous chain of events after a certain african-american individual was killed and an entire movement, the black lives matter movement appeared. i'm not going to going to det

the japan, for example, from italy, and more importantly in the united states. so i think we cannot just focus on china . for example, patient 0 for the spanish crew cannot be found in spain this back in the united states because the american soldier brought the problem to spake. that's more than 100 years ago. we need to use a similar mythology to match methodology to really find the real origin of the yeah. and so the w h o ted ro side normally says all i bought, this is remain on the table. and it requires further investigation whether it came from. and of course you mentioned the american scientist to back the chinese government's view about the origin of corona virus. well, it turns out that lab was funded by the us taxpayer, the one now a shadow is cost over it by nicholas wade. loon m i c a and and okay. some journalists may just take their information from the intelligence agencies. geopolitical reasons, but it is a w h o that says we need to investigate china. i hope you will read the conclusion on the w h. l. scientific team very carefully. that's not.

when the united states entered the war, wilson was concerned with the food situation. and hoover seemed the best person to deal with the production, distribution, and conservation of food for the home front, which was needed in the neutral and allies nationed as well as for the united states. wilson and hoover believed that the abundant production of food was a force multiplier, boosting the morale of soldiers at war that allowed the allies to wear down the central powers. hoover met wilson in may 1917, and explained to the president how he wants this operation to go. he wanted to be the full person this charge. he didn't want to work with a committee where there was bickering and arguing and nothing got done. suggested they name hoover the food czar, but he insisted on the title, food administrator, which was less likely to annoy those folks whose toes he was already stepping on. for three months, congress debated the lever act, which would put hoover in charge of the domestic food supply. first, farmers and producers had to be allowed a reasonable profit. otherwise t

it's the united states . it's not china, it's not russia. it's not iran. ok, one country is ideological, and that is why it's creating this log jam of the international system. go ahead max. sure. i think that the you, the, the world has come back to this great paula rivalry paradigm is recognized in all the major capital. so the world i think, what is the key variable that is different today is that the power of the west has declined that so that it's a different and it's very important factor. and i think you, glenn, and you get or point out exactly the right track here that russia has been decreasing. it's kind of involvement in the western or attention for the, for the was tried graven attention for, for from western powers. it is still there, but still it's less than used to be in $990.00. s and russia has been promoting this greater di westernization or the americanization of the internation or system . i think what is still in the interest of russia again. and we have to bear in mind that the russian leads are also not very monolithic. there are tho

united states?: the thing schenck did start is a conversation about the first amendment, and what it really means. but i also think schenck symbolizes a relatively dark moment in american history, which is to say it is a moment when the federal government really mobilizes at a lot of levels for the first time, to begin to actually contain american opinion. i think we see both of these trends continue. susan: thank you to beverly and tom for being with us in our discussion of schenck v. united states, in c-span's landmark cases series. we appreciate you being here for our callers and thank you to those of you at home watching and contributing your questions and ideas to the discussion. ♪ [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2021] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] ♪ >> secretary of state blinken discusses foreign operations owner later program regarding the president's 2022 budget reque

the english, the, in the legislation of the united states, the rest stipulations san but the united states must support it by the other democratic school. but when you do me a credit rule in our country, and you must support beleaguer organizations, is that what your law says, the american law into open. now let's use that. i see over and ask ourselves, the question is russia is anatomy. then what organizations like yours will be supported by the united states in rochester. i think that need tickets or not the organization that make the russian federation stronger. but those who will the change in the rush from developing and that what does the united states declare a public clinic and that's a huge you got to be. so the organization and people who will help implement the policies of the united states and russia. good looking, good. so how should we treat such things lined up with those? i think at the top is we should treat things as cautious leave, but we will act only under the russian law. more as russian law requires. let's not get over and then we'll go back to our i'll see them are.

and i think this is what his worried the united states. i also wouldn't mentioned the united states and it's human rights abuses to the degree that those exist in the same breath as china or russia. as far as i know, the united states is not operating any concentration camps at the moment, like the one in st. john, i think the u. s. tried to partner with china and there was a hope in the west that through economic development and through prosperity, china would join the family of democratic nations that there would be a hunger in the chinese society for democratic reforms. and that hasn't happened to me that exists clearly in china, but it has been snuffed out. so this is why it has become this rivalry of sin systems. and this is why biden is concerned not just by this is a bipartisan issue to and wash a bite and share that with the european needs to bring the europeans onside the united states has tried to do this, i think with some success by explaining to the europeans and convincing them of the danger that exists. and we saw this in th

never addresses the united states cyber activities, human rights issues in the united states. so as an instrument for sovereign equality. under those circumstances it is deemed illegitimate in moscow. host: it seems more and more we just hear about sanctions being imposed again and again, this just seems to fill the headlines week after week. so i ask you, have we gotten to the point where sanctions are simply being overused? >> there is no such thing as a perfect equilibrium for how we use for this. no matter if it is diplomacy or economic sanctions. i think it depends case by case. nkin a united germany because of the economic embargo, they were cut off from access to technology, and that made them economically implode. that was the beginning of the end of the economic experiments called socialism. it is not completely useless. and it depends on the circumstances. of course, i would not lobby in favor of if you can impose force on others in the name of whatever, i think it depends on the case to discuss under what conditions it makes sense in connection with other tools. hos

united community and in the state. the government has taken this, this extraordinary approach of spending countless millions of dollars to the time them to ship them to christmas island, to hold them in detention. they're pretty standard periods of time despite the distress that causes, despite the evidence that we had really decades of the mental hom that it causes into place children in that position to proofpoint. frankly, it is really the, it's, it's, it's an extraordinary situation and it's just a relate to like, family entities since i've not been to the center. but i'm saying, i'm not saying the images and i certainly read reports about it. you know, does it is a detention center. right. and why it's set up to the i want to have a higher level of security. and one of the recommendations of the human rights commission is my report, is that it be clients, it's not suitable for people from often a very vulnerable cohort. people who have often fled from circumstances torture in trauma. they just aren't the search is

and i think this is what has worried the united states. i also wouldn't mention the united states and it's human rights abuses to the degree that does exist in the same breath as china or russia. as far as i know, the united states is not operating any concentration camps at the moment, like the one industry john. i think the u. s. tried to partner with china and there was a hope in the west that through economic development and through prosperity, china would join the family of democratic nations that there would be a hunger in the chinese society for democratic reforms. and that hasn't happened. i mean, it exists clearly in china, but it has been snuffed out. so this is why it has become this rivalry obscene systems. and this is why biden is concerned not just by this is a bipartisan issue, bite into and washing bite and making the, with the european needs to bring the europeans onside the united states has tried to do this, i think with some success by explaining to the europeans and convincing them of the danger that exist. and we saw

she is the united states with this saudi heinous act. however, early in my career, 35 going on almost 40 years ago. now, this similar kind of issue dilemma arose the us military and intelligence services. we're training intelligence officers in central america. how to increase, improve their checking 7th period ation and trade craft and spy skills. and then they went out the people we trained and committed a horrible assassinations. and that was a huge vertical problem. so this is not a good thing, even if, as i know, i'm sure the u. s. didn't train and does not own and walks far away from me as possible. and he and the association of people do this or blend. just a final thoughts you, i mean, so what kind of security training then would these agents have received? how normal is this private contract is to do this kind of training on us soil. why as the private contractor issue has become quite normal, since the administration of president reagan, which now goes back 40 years, republicans are an amorous of privatizing government as it we

a good first step toward congress reasitting its constitutional authority over when and if the united statesoes to war. this country has been in a state of perpetual war for almost 20 years. we now have members of the armed forces deployed overseas who are the children of soldiers sent to war under the 2002 aumf. under article i of the constitution, congress has the sole authority to decide whether to allow the president to take the country into a prolonged war. before this nation sends our children, our service members, into harm's way, members of congress have the duty to consider and approve or disapprove such use of force. and americans have the right to hold us accountable for those decisions. repealing the 2002 aumf does not impede the president's ability to use military force without congressional approval in the event of a sudden threat or imminent attack but we cannot continue to operate under a system where u.s. presidents can place american troops in harm's way with no checks or balances. that's unacceptable. congress' failure to repeal or replace the 2001 and 2002 aumf for two de

and 8 years ago they went to the united states. they also living in virginia, they are happy and their kids are happy, their families happy. they don't feel fair from anything. so yeah, they have good life at the air. i will are one. i have they do ours. are we all hope that this really does turn out well for you in the end? i'm show lawrence and victoria do as well. thank you so much for your time and your florence coleman, victoria fountain as well. thank you so much and as ever thank you for watching. there was always more on line either down to the or dot com where all our previous editions live or you can catch up. and then if you want facebook dot com forward slash j inside story for more discussion there and on twitter, the show is at a inside story. i'm at come all a j. if you want to drop me a line from the hole inside story team. thanks for joining us. we'll see you again . the news news, news. news . when a war crime is committed, is it kind of follows a garzon human rights investigator on his unprecedented journey to th

we all share that value starting with the president of the united states. the house and senate democrats are united in that we are not having -- in our house we are not ringing to the floor a -- unless those bills passed in the senate and its building back better on the status of women and minorities and people in of color in the rest of that. women and diversity with equity with justice in our communities as we go forward. we have a fabulous opportunity and if we can do a chunk of it first on the emperor structure bill that would be good and our hope is that we will have it. and hoping in an hour that we will hear that it will defend what happens from there to the bill which enables us to enter into the writing of the reconciliation legislation. this is a time of transformation for our country and it's pretty exciting and i'm very optimistic that it will happen and i don't want to say l.a. the fierce. i don't think they are fears but we are not going down that path. thank you all very much.
