it shut off the market and led to decline in the united states. however, it didn't take too long for people to come to the realization that the war was simply going to begin to turn that around. david of the mining empire was in europe when the war broke out and he showed up in london with 15 cents in his pocket and met with hoover and hoover said i met up with douger who had 15 dollars in his pocket but a smile on his face and a smile because he knew his family's mining business was about to make a huge amount of money. the way this war became to change the understanding of the outside world. this is a cartoon from 1815, the future winner of the first pulitzer prize prize for editorial cartooning. you can see the docks of new york city are literally magnets with uncle sam's arms open wide to greet all that money coming from london, paris, berlin across the atlantic ocean over to the u.s. wilson got a letter from the few wall street people still speaking to him telephoning the president like it or not this war was going to make the united states an

and fourth, by the time she came back from the united states, from europe to the united states just before the sinking of lusitania, she determined this war was a war of high principles and high ideals. it was a war of democracy against autocracy. those articles help to make her an even bigger celebrity. she came back to the united states just before the sinking of the lusitania as i noted. that sinking did not lead the united states to want to declare war on germany. a survey done of 1000 american newspapers shortly after the sinking of the lusitania found only six had editorials arguing for american entry. very few americans wanted to go to war. my daughter brought home the history textbook, the textbook said sinking of the lusitania led the united states into world war i. nothing could be further from the truth. the sing sink led americans what do you want to do about this war? what should america's proper response to the war be? as some of you know, william jenningss bryan, woodrow will con seas secretary of state. ban americans from going overseas. when wilson refused to go that farth

i am pleased to join in holding today's hearings on denying terrorist entry into the united states. i welcome the opportunity to work with you and our colleagues on the task force to understand how the federal government can continue to strengthen our nation's security and holds our american values. since the terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001, congress has established a department h shurt and directed the implementation of wide ranging new programs and policies to help prevent terrorist travel to this country. for example, u.s. immigration and customs enforcement has employed crews to our headquarters. u.s. customs and border protection recognizes the authorization esa to screen travellers before they're permitted to board a plane to the u.s. these agents conduct are you current vetting to check against any new are derogatory information. these are just a few examples of the security initiatives that have been implemented in the aftermath of 9/11 on an on going bass is as other vuler in bilts have been identified. more work needs to be done to make sure we stay hoefd those who

it was intercepted by the british, unbeknownst to the united states. the british were tapping our lines to find out what was going on. the british did not want to admit that they were tapping our lines and knew the german code, so they then sent someone to mexico to find the message as it was received in mexico so it would look like they got it in the united states. and they took it to the ambassador in london, and he sent it to the secretary of state, who wanted to go to war much more than president wilson. he then went and gave it to a guy named edwin hood, the dean of the foreign correspondents for the united states. very well-respected guy. he called hood to his house and redacted it and gave him the cable. to make sure nobody knew he got from lansing, they gave it to a different reporter so it did you not look like hood had gotten it, and then it came out in the papers. the next day, lansing lied. as a former journalist, i am always ready for that. but he did admit that it could be true. he was in a box because he didn't want to say that he had got

to be a part of this conversation, becausing this consent i mentioned with united being forced to hire black pilots back in the '70s, this is a long-standing issue. this lawsuit that you and others have filed for respect inside of the airline industry and particularly at united is nothing new. it preceded the dragging of dr. dau through the aisles. i want to be clear as i set the stage here that this is not a new problem. how have you nav gated all these years working in an industry and let me be clear you rntd the only ones who work in an industry who have to fight for respect, i know from a couple things in my own career and i know what that journey is like. how have you navigate the in an industry that's not been quite welcoming for black pilots? >> personally for me i grew newspaper a small town called america's georgia and i was involved in several marches as a small child, and it stuck with me that there was a reason for that. and so i joined the naacp several years ago and actually became a branch president. and so i -- my activism through the naacp led me to get a resolution pa

second has to do with trilateral coordination. the united states should welcome an early meeting with the u.s. president and south korea and japan, presumably before president trump's scheduled trip to the region in the fall. the goal of alliance coordination should be a collective security statement among the three allies, the united states, japan and korea and that an attack on one constitutes an attack against all. the third silver lining relates to china. beijing is unlikely to let off on the economic pressure on south korea over the thaad defense system for i think at least another one or two financial quarters. this will hurt south korean businesses and tourism even more but it should also spark serious strategic thinking in the united states and south korea about reducing the r.o.k.'s economic dependence on china. the two allies should think seriously about new bilateral energy partnerships that could reduce south korean energy dependence on china in the middle east. washington washington and seoul's policy offices can work together t

a general population dorm is finally ready to happen. >> go out this way. >> just be cool. >> unit did you get everything? >> yeah. >> how have you been doing? >> all right. so far. >> so far? you'll do all right. it's always good to see them come down from rtu. it's like another step. they're doing a little bit better. come out here and get to be around a bunch more people. i met philbeck when he first came to the facility up on rtu. he was really quiet up there. when he first came, wouldn't talk to nobody. but he's opened up quite a bit and i think that helped him a lot. >> i'll holler back at you, man. >> you know what it's going to cost you, right? >> ricky beauchamp is still in rtu due to his earn cutting compulsion. but today, anticipating a visit from a girlfriend he hasn't seen in 20 years, beauchamp is focused on a more productive form of cutting. >> i'm going to get a haircut, maybe, because i've had enough bad haircuts. i can't do my hair that way. i've got a big bubble head, don't look right. for real. knock, knock. >> what's happening, partner? >> my name's john boy. w

trump: it is only fair to the united states. we want to be treated fairly.e are behind nato all the way, but we want to be treated fairly. all of us will be more safe and secure if everyone fulfills their obligations the way they are supposed to, right? there, he is agreeing with me 100%. g7 rightttended the here in sicily, and i made great progress towards vital goals. forid out my vision economic fair trade and good paying jobs and more. i called for much greater security and cooperation on matters of both terrorism, immigration, migration, to protect our citizens from saudi arabia to israel to nato to the g7. danes on -- wec made extraordinary gains on this historic trip. paved the way for a new era of cooperation among the nations of this world to defeat the common enemy of terrorism, and to provide our children with a much more hopeful future. you are going to have a great, great future. you are going to have a safe future because of your parents and other people in this room.

we ought to want the united states senate to be able to accomplish its work. this is a -- it's a challenge all the time, but learning what transpired this morning on the senate floor in my view reaches another low for the united states senate. it is hard, i suppose to explain, but it takes unanimous consent for committees to meet while the united states senate is in session, and that's a request that's made on an on-going basis when the senate convenes, and it happened again this morning. and almost without exception, it's routine. the rules require that two hours after the united states senate convened, which we did at 9:30 this morning, no committee can then meet unless there is agreement. and so the majority leader today requested that that unanimous consent be granted, just like almost every other day in the united states senate. but what was different today was objection was raised by the minority whip. and apparently the explanation is the firing of the director of the f.b.i. last night. now, how the senate is functioning or not functioning seems to me to

that says members of congress to support the constitution of the united states. today we are called to fill that both regardless of what -- to -- to that both fulfill that oath. in othersn ambassador have information they should not have. tomorrow.wait until what we need his courage and patriotism from the republicans and what we cannot have as mumbling in the election of being concerned or troubled or wanting more information. all we need is true patriotism from the republicans and that comes from actions, not words. >> president trump is tearing down our national security and intelligence protections 140 characters at a time. tosident trump us decision relay some of our most sensitive intelligence to members of the russian government betrays an judgment. lack of president trump may say his foreign-policy is america first, but his actions really say "russia first." bite reviewing code word to russia, president trump may have exposed key intelligence sources, and danger fight against isis, and undermined the trust of our international allies and partners. which wo

[speaking in native tongue] let me start by thanking you for giving me the opportunity to speak here at the world renowned heritage foundation on the topic of opportunities and challenges for peace and security development in asia-pacific and the development of vietnam-us partnership. [speaking in native tongue] in 1776 declaration of independence in the united states of america president thomas jefferson wrote all men are created equal but they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

so, i mean, the united states has already spent untold in ions of dollars afghanistan, it is hard to know when that kind of investment could end. many people make the argument, look, the united states has had necessary germany, south korea for decades, this could be a situation similar to that. brings up caller israel, can you talk about israel's involvement in either syrian tan or the mission? there is a direct israeli role n. syria, they are neighbors and they have their own defensive interest to think there have been forces where aely the israeli government sees a but not an active part of the military coalition. host: james on twitter has a question. want you to describe what victory in afghanistan looks like. question, t's a great you know, i think this is one -- that was one point of this that was review undertaken. different administrations have thought about that differently i different moments, but think what people think about victory would be a political resolution to the war years.s gone on for 15 oh, it is coming after decades civil conflict in afghanistan, so i think the

they have been working to get the united states to come in and support them in the struggle. is thated opportunity the nuclear deal was obviously set on making sure the iranians cannot get a nuclear weapon. by taking the nuclear issue off of the table and preventing the iranians from having a pathway to any nearby, bringing them into a diplomatic process, it open up the path for a regional dialogue that was all-inclusive and could have included the iranians and southeast. tot could have led completely different balance in order in the region. it will not be easy to reestablish an order by selling saudi arabia billions of dollars of weapons. if our concern is instability in the rush -- region, rest assured, selling to the saudi's will not stabilize the region, it will make it more unstable. it trumppaper called boosts saudi position. local nation stood behind trump after the american president showered the kingdom riyazraise and embraced drive to riyadh's counter iran. .et's go to another caller i am an iranian american. i've been in this country for 25 years. i was serving in

to believe. the question now is what we will do is united states senate. there have been moments in history were senators from both political parties have been called on to put country of our party. to stand up together for the good of the nation realizing the oath of office that we have taken binds us to the constitution to the law of the land and the integrity of this institution. this is one of those moments. we need to come together to have a special prosecutor so there's no question the person who is conducting this investigation on a criminal basis is one who is trusted. we need to make certain we have a commitment a member together a person with strong bipartisan support to head up the federal bureau of investigation. we need the transcript of what occurred in the oval office meeting that iker too. most of all we need to stand together, senators from different political parties but committed to the same nation. when he pretty good of this country for the senate to come together. >> i have been extremely concerned with the administrations ties with ru

north korea is a threat to the security of the united states of america. it's a threat to our allies. it's a threat to the world. as long as north korea has nuclear weapons, the world is not safe. for far too long, we've done very little to deter the kim regime's persistent march into the development of its nuclear weapons program, that changes today. the kim's regime nuclear program lives and dies by its access to hard currency. north korea acquires that hard currency from various sources. we know that china is the worst offender. but china is not the only bad actor. terrorist networks around the world purchase weapons and technology and training from north korea and north korea in exchange gets that money. the hard currency that it needs. autocrats like the congo's leader have long reasoned that no one would actually enforce the arms embargo currently against north korea. they continue to support the kim regime and its nuclear program with no consequences. this bill would put a stop to that. it requires that the president cut off bad actors from our finan

it's an exciting time in regards to the united states and the western hemisphere because it gives us an opportunity to rethink policy. in many ways, outside of normal conventions but let me begin by saying i think there's been since the end of the cold war a lack of focus on some of the highest levels of our government in hemisphere. that's something that needs to be reversed quickly. in the end, our future, but economic insecurity, is deeply tied to our region and i say our region because we are a member of this region. oftentimes we talk about the western hemisphere we think it's happening somewhere else but we are a part of that. where you live where i do in south florida, you are a part of it. both economically, culturally, socially and politically. it's an opportunity to be with you today. i want to take an opportunity to share some of my thoughts gathered over five, six years in the senate spending a lot of time. let me begin by saying i'm troubled by the us foreign policy in general. us foreign policy for the western hemisphere is tactically driven rather than strategically gov

to be remembered. our alliance is united in the awareness of the importance to cooperate to insist on freedom, and we allited in the trust that it is not isolation and the building of walls that make us successful, but open societies that share the same values. ladies and gentlemen, with the end of the east/west conflict, a new era began, a new era bringing new challenges and new dangers. yet we continue to be an alliance built on shared values, showing solidarity towards its members. germany will never forget the contribution nato made towards making our country become reunited, and this is why we will continue to make our contribution towards security and solidarity as members of this alliance. [ applause ] >> nato's greatest strength is the enduring bond between north america and europe. we saw the strength of that bond after the 9/11 attacks against united states, and president trump, those attacks struck at the heart of your own hometown in new york. and for the first time, nato invoked our collected defense close article five -- one for all and all for one. hundreds of thousands of european and can

even when i was sent off the haven base to the different units -- the main base to the different units down in the mekong delta area where the guys were doing the majority of the fighting to do id cards, we were allowed to take our m-16 but, again, were given no ammo. so i'm going from place to place walking around saigon and everything with an empty m-16. one of the times that i did have, should we say, the fear of god put in me was when we were first with the ninth infantry, we went through a week of training and indoctrination, and they took us out on what they could an overnight march. and we made a camp around a rubber tree plantation. and a couple of shots were fired at us. i've got the, should we say, knowledge of what it tasted like to eat dirt, because that's how far i buried myself. well, one of the benefits of being a clerk, a personnel clerk was we could take care of our own guys. we'd get 'em like a seven-day drop which means you'd leave seven days early. so the army said, all right, we'll let 'em out early. so i got a two-day drop, and the day i got those orders it was li

afghanistan and today colombia and the united states we are working to support the fight against drug cartels and the violence of organized crime. i can say, mr. president, based on our conversation this afternoon that i have no doubt that the united states and colombia continue to be today , more than ever, a support, one for the other. our alliance was strengthened. our most valuable cooperation has been plan colombia, which i can sum up in very simple terms. when colombians were fighting to survive, for our democracy to survive, actually, faced with the threat of terrorism and drug trafficking, the united states stretched out a hand and helped us win that battle. we will never forget it. today, we live in a different country. today, colombia is a more peaceful society, a more modern and a fairer society. in november last year, we ended the longest and last armed conflict existing in our hemisphere. the guerrilla is putting down weapons at this precise time to the united nations. insecurity has gone down significantly. today we have the lowest levels of violenc

to four. american, delta, southwest and united. together the four control more than 80 percent of all domestic flights. at a staggering 90 to the top 100 airports only one of which control the majority of the seats. in 2007 to 2013 1.2 million scheduled domestic flights were eliminated. as the big four carriers gobbled up competitors for smaller communities in particular were hard hit by this march toward oligopoly could for example in 2008 san antonio lost approximately 600 jobs on at&t relocated corporate headquarters in dallas. the company actually said in a press release being headquartered near leading air transportation facilities is critical to global companies like at&t and in the airline industry continues to consolidate and reduce hubs and flights. the industry has also started to generate profits by literally squeezing passengers. lesser average topped 80 percent for the eighth consecutive year. the average distance between rows as senator nelson has described in great detail, the average distance before regulation it was

immigration and customs enforcement has deployed visa security units to our embassies and consulates overseas supporting the state department in vetting visa applicants. u.s. customs and border protection now utilizes the electronic system for travel, authorization, to screen visa waiver program travelers before they are permitted to board a plane to the u.s. these agencies now also conduct recurrent vetting of all visa and esta holders to check against any new derogatory information. these are just a few examples of the security initiatives that have been implemented in the aftermath of 9/11 on an on going basis as other potential vulnerabilities have been identified. of course more work remains to be done to ensure we continue to stay ahead of those who might seek to do us harm. that work must be done on a bipartisan basis in the interest of all americans and in keeping with our principles as a nation of immigrants. using rhetoric that divides us and alienates our foreign partners is counterproductive to the security of the united states. banning certain groups of people from enteri

and the missiles, to demonstrate to simultaneously attack bases in japan. the united states has -- to south korea and japan. and and i would like to talk about my personal view, what worries me most is how the administration would face north korea. china had influence over north korea. if you look at recent relationships between them and north korea the give me some doubts. and secretary tillerson has a meeting in north korea. when vice president penn's was detouring in asia, north korea conducted. it seems to me north korea is not concerned -- kim jong un has been in power the last 5 years but hasn't been that old. and and then -- i don't believe it is easy to make nuclear development stop and. and providing oil to north korea. and even though, and and how this would deal with this. >> launch the missiles in syria and afghanistan, the bomb was used. and deployed in japan, the strong posture, the trump administration and with. and the next step of the trump administration, try to be patient. and the next step by the trump administration, and in east asia, very importa

to that i would say a couple of points. we are seek -- we are facing a in the united states. as part of my appropriations will we continue to seek funding for programs not just to prevent alsotion to opiates, but to help treat people with medical conditions. of the matter is medical research on it is if you are addicted to an opiate, the ability to break free from it, -- military intervention. [laughter] medical intervention. airstrikes. [laughter] up from theing it ground up in florida. people become addicted, they wind up in the emergency room. and then you're back at on the street and they are seeing the same people 6, 7 times a week, multiple times a day who are overdosing on street heroine. absolutely, we have to cut off the demand part of it. the supply part of it is important. is once you cut off one substance it migrates to another. this will be an ongoing challenge. part and the demand side. i would guess in the years to come, as nations become more prosperous, they too will see an uptick and consumption of atmosphere. we need to be handling best practices in that reg

cyber threats continue to represent a critical national security issue for the united states whereforeat least two key reasons. >> firstour adversaries are becoming more bold , more capable and more adept at using cyberspace to threaten our interest and she real-world outcomes. the number of adversaries grows as nationstates, terrorist groups and criminal organizations continue to develop cyber capabilities and secondly potential impacts of these fiber threats is defined by the ongoing integration of technology into our critical infrastructure and into our daily lives. >> we see this today in the form of the want to cry ran somewhere attack. this victimized companies services companies and individuals in well over 100 nations within days of its age 12 release. >> as this activity continues, us government investigations are ongoing. the worldwide threat of terrorism is geographic diverse and multifaceted and poses a continuing challenge for the united states for our allies and partners to counter it. isis is experiencing territorial losses in iraq and syria, however we assess isis will

to destroy the country. we feel strongly in the united states and you can smile as you wish. just listen to us for a second. we want the people of south vietnam. the fact is that we do adpree that we will abide gooby the results of elections in south vietnam. the people make their own determination. president johnson has said publically that he is willing to abide by the elections and if communists take over the country that the united states will withdraw. if the north vietnam will abide by the elections and will have elections in 60 days and have supervisory of the elections and we back down then there is more point to your statement. we held out the challenge that we are willing to abide by the election. if that is where you put your emphasis. i think it is much more complicated. >> can we take -- >> excuse me. >> if this doesn't happen in 60 days there is a point to my question. >>. >> can you deliver to north vietnam. >> senator kennedy, can i ask you something about the elections? what i understand from meeting the american press is that elections recently held in south

forced the customer from the aircraft want to knowledge united in other airlines have begun efforts to make reforms so this kind of treatment never happens again. thank you, mr. kirby for that. point some of the other senators have raised, this incident does not represent just a one-time occurrence or a one-time mistreatment. constituents all across the granite state and i'm sure many individuals in this room have experienced routinely unpleasant flying episodes on one of the major airlines. in fact, just last year the department transportation attracts incidents like these received 17,904 complaints across the industry. those are just the cases that are reported. i understand about percentages and statistics, but if you're one of those people statistics don't make much of a difference to you. it is not acceptable that we have this level of difficult occurrences. we can't just for our hands and say, that's the way it always has to be. over in my view in many of my constituents, can we say voluntary action by the airlines is enough. that is what i

to undermine the nuclear deal. the nuclear deal specifically said that the united states is not going to the stand in the way of what tgs calling legitimate trade. if we're pursuing that policy that would undermine the nuclear deal and put the u.s. in violation. what was so sad, i have to say, is that the iranian people went and voted in very, very unfair elections. these are not free and fair elections by the standards that we would like to hold. t nevertheless, they went, 73% and vote ford the most moderate candidate on the ballot and it was a very strong signal that they wanted more interaction with the outside world. they wanted to pursue more engagement and they wanted to pursue a way through the diplomacy resolve conflicts in the rest of the world and the united states is a very important acter. the response they got that same day when president trump was in reyad and gave that speech was the united states clinching its fist and doubling down. i think iranians, the the ordinary people who want to resolve these issues and want to have a better relationship was very, very disappointed. host: you can join the con

many fled to the united states. the book that i wrote was about five of these refugees who came to the united states on their american adventure. i thought using their stories would be a way of looking at early american history from slightly different eyes. i had originally envisioned this is a small, little project, something i could get over in a couple years, but it illumined into something -- ballooned into something much bigger. it took me way beyond paris and philadelphia through london, the caribbean, and into the american continental interior. it grew beyond aristocrats to include slaves in haiti, native americans in the ohio valley, and all of them were involved with the story that i was trying to tell about these five figures. i do not have a whole lot of time tonight to tell you all about the book. i will introduce you briefly to the five characters and structure the account, and tell you three to four important lessons i drew from the research and writing i did, and we can elaborate on that as we talk at

what do you plan do if china fails to uphold either the united nations resolutions or indeed fails to use its influence over north korea's regime? >> well, as you've pointed out, they have not abided by these united nations resolutions and i think what's happening right now with north korea is an example of why that needs to change. this is a very serious situation and i don't think china wants to have a flood of refugees from north korea going into their country. i also think that they recognize as other nations in asia recognize this -- a nuclear obsession that the leadership of north korea has and with guided missiles and everything is a very serious threat to humankind and that we need to all look at ways we can work together. i hope that my long-time relationship with the leader of china and i can convey to him that we sincerely want to work with them and we want to work with other nations as well because this is one of the most important and serious threats facing us all at this time. >> do you believe there's a role for u.s. secondary safrmgszs or chinese entities should china

this is the time that we have to stop and see solidarity and united action. for that, japan will strongly appeal to china. as for in terms of sino-japan relationship, during the apec i had a meeting with president xi. this is the 45th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relationship. next year, it is the 40th anniversary of our friendship treaty with china. president xi and we have agreed about taking these to milestone years. but foreign tourists and visitor number i mentioned but is it the largest number coming to china from japan and international students largest number from china to japan. person to person exchanges is at a very high level and as a trade partner, china is the largest trade partner for us. so with this situation -- in the way that china responds to the expectation of the global community, we would also like to urge china to move in that direction. >> and finally, prime minister, a new president has taken office in south korea just last week. he favors not only a more conciliatory relationship with north korea than his predecessor bu

we have used this to be a watershed moment for united airlines. and go beyond preventing this from happening and to truly put the customer at the center of what we do and hope this will have a silverlining we believe it will make us a better airline today than we were before. by the change of focus. >> there are always and we know this factors that are outside your control. consumers to have an expectation they will get what they pay for when they buy an airline ticket. as a follow-up to that, what steps is united taking to more generally improve but can sometimes be a stressful travel experience for customers, especially in light of the knowledge that outside factors can upset the normal operating plan. >> it is true that travel can be a stressful experience. united airlines we have a terrible incident this month or last month, we are proud of the progress we've made in running a better operation. in 2016 we set all-time record in a 2017 were set a new records. we went 145 hours without a flight cancellation, that's over 10000 flights. our employe

now, one man who understands the importance of the northern triangle to the united states is the secretary of homeland security john kelly. mr. secretary, we are honored to have you here today. about a year ago i recall reaching out to you to be our u.s. cochair and when you agreed to do so, i remember recalling how lucky we were to have a leader who understands so well the issues of central america and the importance of tackling them wholistically and collaboratively. it's not just me that thinks this. our task force cochairs, members, and countless leaders across the region recognize you on a daily basis for your leadership in the region. now, i'd like to note that secretary kelly had no role in the drafting of the report or the findings of the group. but secretary, we are honored to have you at the beginning stages of this task force. now, the secretary requires no introduction, of course, but i would just list a few of his achievements. after spending three years deployed in iraq, secretary kelly was promoted and confirmed as lieutenant general. he then served the senior military assis
