states, keep the united states worried about this while other countries -- rational bureau of asian research has done study on this which i commend to you but you don't want to make too much of your personal knowledge but with chinese and russian over the years, the idea of them having long-term convergence of interest would have to overcome a lot of cultural history. >> can i take advantage of my time to give you the two recommendations? >> absolutely. >> would be useful. i have said this to friends in the executive branch and got nowhere so maybe you will have better luck than i but the area in which things are up for grabs most between us and china is in the south china sea. things are pretty well locked down in northeast asia and taiwan where there is a balance of clear policy. south china sea is up for grabs in the main thing the united states is missing is clear policy as opposed to what we don't want. any official statement starts we take no position on the territorial disputes going on here and don't want anything to happen by force. what kind of non-policy is that. we need

states government and the state department in particular want to make sure that people in the united states will not ever again stand up to their fantasy world that allows them to impose whatever dictators they want on sovereign nations and so they're making they're trying to make an example of us but frankly you know it's not going to work because we're proud of what we did even if we are found guilty even if we are sentenced so literally withdrew from through this whole proceeding is that because donald trump in the u.s. state department said well. it's whoever we decide that seems so ridiculous to anyone it's not actually the decision of the other countries well it's it's a law in it's been in the books for years that a lot of people were unaware that i was in a repressive. legal residence but it holds holds legal weight i guess but it's it kind of goes along with this myth of exceptionalism that the united states public and government tries to promote in the in the public in general holds that well when we do it it's not wrong we're sort of above the law and that's sort of how we

of the united states of america, mr. pompeo. this is a hallmark visit that clearly demonstrates the consistent and across-the-board support of our country by the united states of america. the united states has been and will remain our key ally. we dearly appreciate efforts president trump and his administration on this threat. we are grateful for your personal, unwavering stance regarding the illegal annexation of crimea. today, i express hope that the united states of america will be more actively engaged in the east of ukraine and occupation of crimea thanks to the appointment of a special official of the department of state on this matter, and we are grateful for the role of the united states of america for cooperation with nato, in particular, the relationships iev and washington are invariably strong, because the ground work for them, long-lasting strategic influence. it is important that ukraine support inrtisan congress, in the united states, that is confirmed by the amount of aid for 2020, amounting to $700 milli

we want to secure oil for the united states and u.s. allies and partners at a reasonable cost, which we do by commanding -- we tend to be rather ambivalent towards preferntal powers, which pipelines relative to oil tankers. a recent set of controversy over ream, theeam -- nord st second russian pipeline from russia to germany, it is not new. the united states traditionally viewed russian oil and gas exports to europe in the 1970's and 1980's as a threat to u.s. national security because that is a supply that could not be controlled or intermediated by u.s. companies and the u.s. navy. we want to make sure oil revenues go to our partners and not to hostile oil producers. i think that should be pretty self-explanatory. we want to enhance the economic position of the u.s. in the gulf, if oil producers are selling to u.s. partners and allies in the united states and doing so through u.s. companies, even if we are sending dollars to that part of the world, they will need to recycle those dollars using companies that tend to be american or al

at the united states for the soleimani strike. remember, isis and al qaeda are inside yemen. the wing of al qaeda that has the clearest designs against the united states takes advantage of the chaos inside yemen to recruit and to grow and to expand their territory. and so as the houthis are further destabilizing yemen, the enemies of the united states are potentially getting stronger. iran is once again back on the march inside yemen. and then in lebanon, in lebanon we have this moment, we have this moment in which there were proapts on the street -- protests on the street that were demanding a lebanese government free of corruption and free of iranian influence. we were this close to getting a technocratic government in lebanon that mielt finally break the grip of iran on elements of lebanese politics. and instead of taking advantage of that moment, the united states decided that it was going to cut off aid to the army that was protecting the protesters. and the combination of that mistake and then the assassination of general so

united states in a wide capacity, but when. and so many are concerned that like china, donald trump's and his administration is not being as transparent or really active as they should be about what this potentially can have for the united states. and again, this may largely be because the dow had its worst week since 2008 this week and he is probably trying — he meaning donald trump — to quell investors‘ concerns here in the united states that the coronavirus will not impact a healthy wall street or economy. now onto the democratic race to take on donald trump in the 2020 election. former vice presidentjoe biden has a lot riding on tomorrow's critical primary in south carolina. in order to stay competitive in this race, he is counting on a resounding win. barbara plett usher is in south carolina. this is biden country, south carolina — the southern state he cannot afford to lose. that's my neighbour. his loyal supporters are working overtime to make sure he wins. bernice scott and her reckoning crew trustjoe biden. y'a

the united states senate -- the united states senate cannot and should not consider an impeachment based on such a deficient record. it is true that in america no one is above the law. but no one is beneath it either. and fairness matters in our country. the house democrats' impeachment is also flawed because it is a partisan impeachment. its genesis is partisan rage. not a single solitary house republican voted for the articles of impeachment. not one. the house democrats made a conscience decision to turn impeachment into a routine washington, d.c., political weapon. to normalize it. our country's founders were concerned about impeachments based on partisan rage, and our country's founders were add mont -- were opposed. that's why in the constitution they required a two-thirds vote by the senate to impeach. now a word about the substance of the house democrats articles of impeachment. the house democrats accused the president of obstruction of justice. why? because he chose to assert executive privilege and testimonial immunity when the house democrats sought testimony and documents fr

the united states and taliban have endured decades of hostility and mistrust. previous talks have faltered. this effort only became real for the united states when the taliban signaled interest in pursuing peace and ending their relationship with al qaeda and other foreign terrorist groups. they also recognized that military victory was impossible. i then asked embassy khalilzad to serve as our negotiator to gauge the taliban's sincerity. the agreement that we will sign today is the true test of this effort. we will closely watch the taliban's compliance with their commitments and calibrate the pace of our withdrawal to their actions. this is how we will ensure that afghanistan never again serves as a base for international terrorists. the negotiation process in doha, with all of its twists and turns, has shown it is possible for us to take this step together. over the past seven days, violence levels have reached their lowest point in the last four years. u.s. and afghan forces responded to the reduced number in the attacks by also respecting peace. it was not

the united states of america? this is a matter of national security, cannot guarantee that and are are therapies vaccine, that it cannot be affordable to the american people? we are under the control of pharma and the profits they want to make? i don't think so. host: could these there please go to the highest bidder? china and other countries saying we will give you more money for what you are developing. is that possible? is unclear how it will relate to the worldwide coronavirus. certainly, they ought to be able to stand up there and say we will work for a vaccine and make sure it is accessible to all americans. one of the big issues in our country right now is the cost of prescription drugs and are we at the mercy of the profits of big pharma? certainly not in this case. host: we want our viewers to get involved as well. republicans, 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. and independents, 202-748-8002. right as andent earlier viewer said that we rely too much on other countries for our supply chain? that he h

the united states and india are also firmly united in our ironclad resolve to defend our citizens from the threat of radical islamic terrorism. [cheers and applause] both of our countries have been hurt by the pain and turmoil of terrorism and what terrorism brings. under my administration, we unleashed the full power of the american military on bloodthirsty killers of isis in iraq and in syria. today, the isis territorial caliphate has been 100% destroyed. and the monster known as al-baghdadi, the founder and leader of isis, is dead. [cheers and applause] in the united states, we have also made clear that while our country will always welcome newcomers who share our values and love our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorists and terrorism and to any form of extremism. that is why we have taken historic steps to improve screening and vetting of applications for entry, and we are working to ensure that anyone who threatens the security of our citizens is denied admission and will pay a very, very big, costly price.

the shifting of power in the united states. shifting the balance of power right ward on a number of issues, not just immigration, but also gun control, abortion rights, welfare reform and the environment. by the end of the 20th century this war had morphed into a term we recognize, border security. a campaign for border security, in was a bipartisan effort. it became a normal part of our public discourse and was translated into policy. one particular example is how the actual act of migration became criminalized. beginning in the 1980's and the 1990's, anti-immigrant lawmakers and strategists argue that undocumented immigration was not just a violation of immigration law, it was a crime, and it was a serious crime. and that those who committed it were serious criminals who might go on to commit other serious crimes, rape, murder. and thus, they deserve to be harshly treated in the most punitive and cruel ways. both at the border and also in the united states. this is the rationale behind the so-called states rights initiatives

the 20,000 troops are coming from the united states. a smaller number this year but a bigger number next year as well. these exercises will continue to be virtually used to strengthen our relationships and build capabilities both ours and our allies and partners. to all of our allies and partners today, you are important to us. we want to continue to move forward together. let me close by saying it is an exciting time to be in the army. we have a unique opportunity to set the army core reserve over match and dominance in the next 40 years and ensure we can compete with and deter great power competitions and it requires to fight and win. we are looking for a longer courts for our phones and faster horses for our cowboys. we are trying to fight better, we want to win in the next fiep fight. it is going to take transformational change to get there, it won't happen with increment improvements. i look forward to your report in this endeavor people first, we remain army strong.

states has no official language, english is not the official language of the united states and in some parts of the united states like pennsylvania they could just as well have made german be the official language, some parts of eastern ohio, so all of a sudden being seen, speaking in german, singing german songs those become suspect behaviors, so now remember the suspicions that we have four people who are not like us, who may be racially defective colonial lee defective that muscle could easily be rerouted to a new cause so what we see in 1914 is that it becomes downright dangerous being chairman, being suspected of being german and doing, conserving, celebrating things, however broadly german. my favorite example of this is actually this set of images, so we get reports in the united states and moscow of people going out on the streets with the baseball bats pounding on the streets representing the skies, they had to homicidal dioxins, i don't know how they could've killed that many animals but they really did, so that little tiny thing becomes an emblem of all that is wrong with ge

the united states was on the losing end of many many trade relationships. the president, i was with him when he sits down with worldliness, says i don't blame you, you were getting a great deal can our trade deficit was 20, 30, 50, $600 billion in the case of china. why wouldn't you do that for your people. i blame my predecessors so in the past several weeks we signed the phase i deal with china which could end up $250 billion in purchases of american products and protection of american intellectual property. we signed the largest trade deal in the history of the world, the us mca that will result in new us jobs and bring fairness back to the system and creates an incredible block between the united states, mexico and canada and lemonades a loophole where foreign governments that were not part of the north american trading system would exploit nafta to obtain further advantage against the united states. as you heard last night unemployment is at a record low, what was interesting is the unemployment rate started to fall several years ago before the preside

states investigation into foreign interference in the united states elections. through these actions, president trump sought to abrogate to himself the right to determine the propriety, scope and nature of an impeachment inquiry into his own conduct as well as the unilateral prerogative to deny any and all information to the house of representatives and the exercise of his full power of impeachment. in the history of the republic no president has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the house of representatives to investigate high crimes and misdemeanors area this abuse of office served to cover up the president's own repeated misconduct and defuse and control the power of impeachment and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested in the house of representatives. in all of this president trump has acted in a manner contrary to histrust as president and subversive of the constitutional government to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manif

back at the end of september, modi visited the united states. they had an event at the stadium in houston. it looks like prime minister modi says 50,000? i'll do you 50,000 better. almost he seat in this stadium is filled. the president will be here in about an hour's time. he will be thrilled to see the streets because there are billboards of the president and the first lady standing with prime minister modi. there are welcome signs everywhere. so the president will feel right at home. i am meeting a lot of people. i met a couple from kansas city. they said they spend 8 months out of the year in the united states, then they come here to ahmedabad they are preparing to welcome the president wearing their traditional gash. the colors and the beautiful clothing and food they are probably carrying there. the. he i believe promised the president there would be thousands, maybe perhaps even a million lining the treats as he made his way to his first event. did you see a lot of people prepearing for this, john? john: when you have got a population. it

and it means that future presidents of the united states will remember that the united states senate failed to hold donald trump accountable, and they will be emboldened to abuse their power, knowing there will be no consequence. donald trump knows all this better than anybody. he may not acknowledge that we have two systems of justice, but he knows the institutions in this country, be it courts or the senate, are set up to protect powerful people like him. he told us as much. when regarding the sexual assault of women, he said, quote, when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. he said that article 2 of the united states constitution gives him as president the right to do whatever he wants. trump has shown us through his words and action that he thinks he is above the law, and when the american people see the president acting as though he is above the law, it understandedly leaves them feeling untrustful of our system of justice, distrustful of our democracy. when the united states senate refuses to hold him accountable, it reinforces that loss of trust in our syste

there is no easy way to move goods through the united states easily. the railroad becomes the means of transportation. one of the first things they do is they lay spurs off of the main railroad line so they can direct those. they are able to build pantex so quickly because they bring those materials from the railroad to where they are building. it goes right to where they are putting the load lines. the metal shells and any of the explosive materials they would transport via the railroad. amarillo is a great place to build pantex. as well as the amarillo army airport. that is constructed in 1941. this is where the amarillo airport is today. amarillo is an army plant. it is pretty efficient. amarillo had a decent sized population. you are going to need workers. pantex in 1943, we had over 5000 employees. all of those people need a place to live. amarillo provided that, lots of housing options for people to live so that pantex could have the size of workforce it needed. pantex throughout the cold war has a remarkably consistent mission. our mission was t

in those departments as you execute the foreign policy, national security policy of the united states. i think that's worked well. the other thing we have done as we tried to bring process back. over the past several years there's been a lack of process. process -- i promise not to talk a lot about it but i feel like it's important to build consensus among her professionals across the internet agency. and make sure the very best option and advice filter up to the president presented been there i think we had 60 meetings and principal committee meetings over the last five and half months, the other thing we did as part of the meetings as i remember while i was on the other side of the table coming is a plus one to nsc meetings, sometimes there would be no six from the pentagon represented. and i've attended respect for 0 six, i was 0 four so dealt with everybody when i stayed in uniform. but when you're at the deputy level committee, and you have folks that are deputy assistant secretary, that is not getting you the full advice of the department that is there. so i entereddv a policy t

we started at the assistant secretary of state level australia, japan and india and the united states talking how we could enhance our political foreign-policy military cooperation. and the secretary of state and at the secretary of defense level is this how we think about the strategic military cooperation? not to fight but limit them. >>. >> we don't have to say fight china but we are supporting the principles of freedom of navigation from what you mentioned. we have to be careful how we describe such things. japan is a treaty ally. we don't have to force the issue of people coming to formal alliance with us. and then to meet these countries. and that no candidate in the 2016 election including the secretary of state who had negotiated, supported the tpt - - tpp. i personally was very pleased for the tougher things that were said. be actually did get a us-mexico canada agreement but to take these things on new. i think it's like the tpp but will not be that. and the strategic weight and in the next decade could be what we need to unite the democratic world. >> we have to take this o

the united states is 8,000 miles away. and they all say, can you do it? yeah. we have been doing it for a long time. i have been doing it better than anyone else has done it. what we've done within the last couple years is incredible. remember, we had 99%. i said, good, we're leaving. i was hit with people couldn't believe it. they said, do 100%. we did 100%. i did 100% with some great generals that knew exactly what they were doing. they were unbelievable. we took 100% of the caliphate. and we have thousands of prisoners right now locked up. these are isis fighters and killed thousands -- not that i want to do that. i don't want to do that, but that's what we had to do. when i came in, isis was all over the place. it was totally out of control. please. thank you. reporter: while you've been here in the country in the capital in northeast part of delhi, there have been nine deaths so far, we're hearing about 100-plus injured. what did prime minister modi say to you about this amended citizenship law? how concerned are you about this kind of religious violence?

look at is verizon who's a large mobile carrier especially here in the united states they also license out there. technology to many other people so while ways looking at here is they're saying not only are you taking it but then your life is a get out to other broods and that's also important right here because horizon is the one being targeted they have released a response obviously they said while we've lawsuit filed overnight in the very early morning is nothing more than a p.r. stunt this lawsuit is a sneak attack on our company and our nation and the action lacks merit and we look forward to vigorously defending our company and our nation so that's they've come on. a sneak attack on our company and our nation while ways doing a sneak attack on the nation how much of that statement how much of rice's posturing right now plays into this wall way is the big bad bogeyman to spying on everyone and into those fears if they're filing a lawsuit against you even if it's a frivolous lawsuit that's not an attack on the country and you know that's how it's being framed it's really being fram

there is a wide consensus in the united states bipartisan consensus that russia did do something in the 2016 election there believe that that's where this is all coming from now in 2020 do you think that the trump administration will actually respond by imposing more sanctions on russia or at least be forced to by congress. well so far as trump has reacted to the allegations which i believe these latest allegations surfaced over the weekend and sampras already. showing what he thinks of them. so i doubt that. trump will respond directly in other words apply sanctions to russian officials including lattimer put in. as the suggestion as the man's request. at least directly in response to these allegations if he does impose more sanctions on russia and there is still room for that. it might be over some other aspect perhaps. syria seems to be like an ongoing problem where the u.s. turkey and russia are. coming to a number of. nerve points so i think might choose to do something over that rather than respond directly to the allegations and. give them the give them respectability i also want

i was voting for the united states constitution. well, she wasn't convinced. now this past sunday, walking my dog rufus in nashville, i was confronted by a neighbor who said she was angry and crushed by my vote against allowing more witnesses in the impeachment trial. the senate should remove the president for extortion, she said. i replied to her, i was not voting for or against the president. i was voting for the united states constitution which, in my view, does not give the senate the power to remove a president from his office and from this year's election ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate. the united states constitution says a president may be convicted only for treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. president trump's actions regarding ukraine are a far cry from that. plus, i said, unlike the nixon impeachment, when almost all republicans voted to initiate an impeachment inquiry, not one single republican voted to initiate this impeachment inquiry against president trump. the trump impeachment, i said to her, was a compl

united states is not guilty as charged in the 2nd article of impeachment it is therefore ordered and adjudged that the said donald john trump be and he is here by acquitted of the charges in said articles. and there you have it not guilty on both charges the verdict of saving the presidency of donald trump came as expected almost all republicans voted to acquit democrats voted to convict the verdict of history well that's yet to be delivered tonight beyond impeachment and beyond iowa was the democratic front runner in the race to challenge donald trump in november the man with a global name recognition joe biden he's no longer in front of the relatively unknown newcomer with the nickname mayor pete pete he's now leading the pack i'm burned off in berlin this is the day. we start to the democratic process yesterday in iowa 24 hours later we're still trying to figure out what. iowa some reason and i. have a little bit of trouble counting votes a little later the winches a bit. better late than never at this richard might get the 1st after all but i am confident that here i'm sure i'm g

it makes me want to throw up because guido is of the right wing thug who was used by the united states government as the figurehead in there or sent to overthrow the jouni elected democratic. government of the sovereign country of venezuela in contravention of every international law and the un charter and everything else because why because they want to make money this isn't a hidden secret war leg during the eighty's this is the european union and britain both recognizing what it was your shows how it was a city a state in the attack by near liberal economics and by the war mongering of the powerful elites how insidiously has wormed its way into places of power it's a bit like in germany the bundestag coming out and declaring. b.d.s. upon it member now what they said but they had some effect they seriously have well i mean all leadership labor candidates well the arguably agree that you know. how to. i mean every time there's no election when i was a kid our front room was a committee room for the local labor post see what the local labor party from 55 on and before that for the comp

but it's no different than the united states where i live how do you get these people rise into these positions of extraordinary political power arguably donald trump who came to power antiwar ticket i mean i i spoke to judaism's in the ecuadorian embassy about how hillary clinton. could will of got us into a full scale war involving syria i'm sure to trump was an antiwar president yet and yet and yet united states involvement in the wars abroad is actually increased in their spending more money on it than they were in any previous administration under a trump i mean and let's not write off the possibility that trump may do something credibly insanely stupid at the behest of the neocons visibly iran is already has murdering that monitoring customs eliminate again exactly well if you can get millions around the world to support during a songe like he is a latter day nelson mandela identity politics at least has been presumably there's been massive progress on it since you started out but even in their. own like jails the manning who is refusing to testify against whom isn't its day 346

we did that the united states supreme court equal justice. frederick douglass, who like many, prefer to be one of the founders of our nation umt, quote the whole history of the progress that all concessions get laid's own - - one of those are just and just like so many before a fight against tyranny. this struggle has not been easy and it has left alienation and for too many files but it is a real power in this country but not with them because they are just a few people to expand their interest but now at the expense of others needs. the injustice of this trial is another example of the way our system of justice has worked or more accurately, failed to work. but here's the thing. frederick douglass also told us that "if there is no struggle but he said it never did and it never will. so that a few people at the very top, the american people have to fight for the voice of the people in the power of the people. we must go into the darkness to shine a light and we cannot be deterred or overwhelmed and we cannot ever give up on our country we ca

was spread in the united states, not from someone coming from outside the united states. and so it is a concern and i think it's important that we understand that you have to have a president in charge -- the last point i'll make, and i know we're going to get a lot of questions, is that what we did, what i would do if i were president now, i would not be taking china's word for it. i would insist that china allow our scientists in to make a hard determination of how it started, where it's from, how far along it is. because that is not happening now. and that should be -- we should be allowed to do that and they should want us to do that, because we have genuine experts who know how to confront these things. but we need to invest immediately. we should have done it from the beginning. the moment the virus appeared. but we're getting late, but we've got good scientists. and i just hope the president gets on the same page as the scientists. >> former vice president, do me a favor. comment on the political implication from what the president said tonight. he blamed the democ

to sell here or anywhere else the united states makes the u.n. work when it wants to work and that is exactly the way it should be because the only question the only question for the united states is what's in our national interest and if you don't like that i'm sorry but that is the fact so this was a long time ago this is ambassador john bolton. operating in a very dim feel that he was he was so much more of your i. couldn't raises an interesting question that i think gets right at this this the heart of the west closeness challenge was if john bolton's comment was if the united states is engaged in leading then operations like the united nations can matter if you know if the united states is not there and doing the things then you've basically unplugged a world that is problem solving and i want to know where the good news is and that . the good news is that if the geopolitics have moved so far that the old u.s. led order can no longer hold much better to know that early than late much better to actually be working on a new set of institutions

this is truly an exciting time in the united states. our economy is booming like never before. 0ur economy is booming like never before. our people are prospering and spirits are soaring. there is tremendous love, tremendous like. we like and we love everybody. unemployment has hit historic lows and small business confidence has hitan and small business confidence has hit an all—time record high in the history of our country. our military has been completely rebuilt. it is now stronger than ever before. and we are quickly revitalising our alliances and friendships all around the world. we have spent $2.5 trillion on rebuilding our military. it is the most powerful military anywhere in the world by far. that is why i have come here to india, in the spirit of fondness and goodwill, to expand our cherished partnership of incredible power and potential. the first lady and i have just had a pleasure of visiting mahatma gandhi's ashram a few miles from here, where he launched the famous salt march. and, tomorrow in delhi, we will lay a wrea

he did not challenge the constitutional system of the united states. so he's not removed from office. >> three out of four americans are saying, we know bill clinton is a scoundrel and yet we think he's effective as president. >> the really amazing thing is how bill clinton bounced back from that. he just kept climbing in the polls, notch, notch, notch, notch, notch. incredible. >> by the end of the 1990s, it looks like a different country for many americans. the economy is booming and our deficit is gone. >> 1999 was the longest peacetime economic expansion in u.s. history. >> clinton was one of the greatest politicians the white house has ever seen. he was a great leader in the sense of being a charismatic, well-intentioned, visionary president. but he undermined himself with his personal foibles. >> as mr. clinton moves into his final year in office, he's already sharing the spotlight with the candidacies of his wife and vice president. >> it's one of the tragedies of the clinton years that this period of real prosperity and real peace leads to a mo

i think they seek out the united states as a preferred partner for a number of reasons. not the least of which is our competence and capability, but also our values. that's part of that. i think that's a strong thing that is imparted through imet. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. chairman. general townsend, admiral faller, let me begin by adding my condolences to those that have been expressed already for the service members lost in the month of january. i want to particularly call out captain ryan fanu, from hudson new hampshire, an airman lost in afghanistan this week. i know that all of new hampshire mourns his loss and the loss of everyone and sends condolences to all of the families. so thank you. i want to begin, admiral faller, with where we are with drug interdiction. when you were here last year, we talked about the drug interdiction efforts, which are still so important to states like new hampshire where we have a huge opioid epidemic still, and are seeing heroin now coming into the country. can you talk about what progress has been made and the ro

when the united states is rebuilding the navy. is goingg the navy along with having access to ports in foreign places. and hawaii will be one of them. all right. a couple of things happen in the 1890's. in 1890 congress increased tariffs on hawaiian sugar. this is bad for americans in hawaii making sugar. so what you see happening is a major disruption to their economy, 1890 to 1893, americans with u.s. military support from pearl harbor, overthrew the native hawaiian leader at the time. and the president at the time, president harrison, supported adding hawaii as territory in the united states. however, congress doesn't get it done before he leaves office. the next president opposes it. and hawaiians locally opposed it. however, they opposed it peacefully. they knew that if they used violence to prevent an american invasion, if an american invasion took place, they would then be deemed enemies and they wouldn't be allowed to keep their property. not only would people die, but their access to property would be under mined. that do

eventually he emigrated to united states. they were liberated by the russians in the early summer of 1945. we never heard from my father what happened. once you were liberated the ripple to go back to school however the sentiment was still strong under the communist regime. it in 1945 my father was able to come back to us and in 1947 he realized that there was no longer future for jewish people in romania and decided to leave. the only country that would accept refugees at that time was palestine. he applied for an exit visa from the authorities and every time they apply to leave the country he received a return reply denied. he tried for two years and eventually my mother was able to bribe officials in charge of giving up the pieces and a 1950 he received a visa to leave for israel. in the meantime i lived in israel for 10 years. i served in an elite unit of the army. i married. i had five children and 12 grandchildren. all of my children and grandchildren are named for one of these people murdered by the nazis. i thank you

states the united states needs to learn how to deal with with iran i think it's a miscalculation in the united states to even imagine that iran is in any way or form unstable iran has been able to stand firm despite u.s. sanctions despite the fact that the united states is trying to strangle the iranian economy its and tension is to make ordinary people suffer i think president trouble stated very clearly in the policy is that iran will modify the nuclear program and he will do everything he can to stop the policy is not regime change but rather a regime. of the current regime of kamini to change course and stop destabilizing its neighbors and offer you know a brighter future for the people of iran it was the united states that withdrew from the. iran nuclear agreement not iran what iran has been doing since the american withdrawal is exercising exercising its rights in accordance with the the agreement to back off of its commitments so long as one party or multiple parties are not in compliance. venezuela's self proclaimed president received an unceremonious welcome in correct his

united states and so on. that may of be overtaken by china at some point in anomic terms so we need to develop something to react to this development that what you described is certainly not impossible but it all depends on china's future success and strategies that's one thing and secondly it depends on our european capacity to react to this development if we have to join strategy we can develop it together with the americans that our time is rapidly evaporating so i think we have time for maybe one of the last questions one hour read and one i think goes to joe you off of that site so if somebody could give a microphone to show you off while i read this question to you this comes from the berlin bureau chief of the economist. tom not where were you tom somewhere in the room. the question is the following now that the european commission has revised its methodology for e.u. enlargement this is about the balkans will france lift its veto on beginning accession talks with north methadone year and again year if

states the united states needs to learn how to deal with with iran if the united states continues down this path that they will get nowhere with iran if they think that they can overthrow this comic republic of iran they're deeply misguided and i think the american people are ill informed about the reality because the media in the united states has control. by the leaders in those elites have their own interests as well as the marketing is talking points directly from ayatollah khamenei but i see a bright future for you ron i think you dickless are seen more as a deposed or. i see a monster with the united states because of the problems and maybe it will really work out a resident. i don't think so now where you know people are flocking. around the united states to america population don't suppose nobody really wants to go and live in iran. nations between the united states in the philippines are being tested again after minute to to scrap a decades old security agreement that allowed american forces to train in the country washington's called the move unfortunate but the philippines a

therefore, quite rare in the united states. before the civil war, most people who could afford to buy slate shingles bought it from quarries in wales or in england. often ship as ballast -- it was often shipped as ballast in the holds of ships from england or wales. three changes during the middle decades of the 19th century created demand for monson slate. here very quickly are three changes in the middle decades of the 1800s that created demand and led monson people to begin digging up slate and shipping it out of their town. first of all, development of the railroad network in the united states. this made it possible to profitably ship heavy stone over long distances. development of the railroad networks. as part of this, conversion to steel rails, thank you andrew carnegie. conversion to steel rails allowed people to use larger locomotives that could hold -- haul heavier loads. that is the first factor in development of the rail network. second factor was new building styles. the new styles that caught on across the united

of the united states. it's important to remember that there are exactly two federal officials who are elected within the executive branch of government. one is the vice president and the other is the president. the vice president's duties, i would add, are relatively limited. constitutionally speaking, the vice president is the president of the senate, and thus performs that in a quasi legislative role, but vice the vice presides executive branch duties are entirely bound up with those of the president. they consist of aiding and assisting the president as the president may deem necessary and standing ready to step into the position of the presidency, should it become necessary as a result of disability, incapacitation, or death. barring that, the entire executive branch authority is bound up within the presidency itself. the president is the executive branch of government, just as the judges who sit across the street themselves amount to the capstone of the judicial branch, just as 100 senators and 435 re

if you look here in the united states, obviously, this audience paying attention to the united states. you got about a million hospital beds. you start to do the math and think, well, how many people are likely to start showing up in hospitals? what kind of care will they need? will they need to be isolated? will there be people who are told basically to stay home, not come to the hospital. these are all decisions that are going to need to be made. these are the types of decisions that came up during the 2009 h1n1 pandemic as well in the united states. you got the situation where big public buildings, high school gyms, things like that could possibly get turned into temporary sort of triage centers. so all these types of decisions need to get made. and it's not clear that we have, you know, who's making those decisions, who's going to make the calls on schools and staying home from work and all that. those are the types of things that we need to be planning in the united states. yes, countries are doing their utmost, but i think here in the united states and other places, we still hav
