the changing face of europe. aidnations receiving dollars have their counterpart funds to good work. hydroelectrics, plants. factories there was ever-growing roar and bustle, the marshall plan was reconstruction. nato was the shield. now they were working for peace. working for themselves and working for tomorrow. the council of europe was meeting and at their conference there were many european nations. discussing the future of their countries. the council had not accepted their powers and could only advise the government on their power. it was at least a common meeting place where europe could be me that scene. a start that was a long way to go. the arteries of the continent might be throbbing with , there were still age-old barriers. seemed atomic bombs would shift towards rubberstamps, towards the roman cathedrals. yet the solution was is you that anyone had mentioned. unity the needs of trade would push down the walls. once the coal mines of the czars with the crucible of war. haveut them war would resorted

and we've seen it replicated across europe. in fact, russia's active measures are only growing bolder and more brazen in the digital age. russia has interfered or attempted to interfere in elections in france, the netherlands, the baltics to the balkans. including support for far right and far left parties, opposed to historically successful european institutions in post world war ii western alliances. for example, russia has provided support and financial assistance to the far-right party of marine le pen in france in a very blatant and obvious way. russia's launched cyber attacks against political parties and government institutions in several western countries. they've also released stolen information in an effort to steer elections in a particular direction. and as we saw in the french elections with their release of information about then candidate macron. germany's parliament has been cyber attacked, with members' e-mailed hacked and stolen. most observers express this stolen information to be utilized before this fall's

nowhere in europe has the division of germany and europe more clearly evident than here. the longingels also for freedom and togetherness. here, the necessity of dialogue and cooperation behind -- beyond borders becomes clear. this wall stands between the hopes and wishes of the people. for that reason, it has no future.

siding more with israel than europe. so why you think it's so in the middle east, and if i may why is it that europeans oppose the idea of withdrawing from the deal? thank you very much. >> okay, well, i think that if you're talking about suni majority countries, there's -- so i think that's part of it. but iran policies at least from a suny arab perspective have been destabilizing in a number of different contexts. whether it's iran's support of l h hezbollah or lebanon. so i think this would be one area where you see some overlap of politics and trump's position. there's also one area where there's some overlap, and again that's one of the things that really stood out to me in reading the report. the highest support for building a border wall with mexico, trump's wall is actually among jordanians. 44% support a border wall. >> and you have an explanation for this? >> well, we can speckilate. i mean, i guess the one speculation would be that jordan has had a mas chb influx of refugees over the past 15 years, not just re

code yes, across europe, this wall will fall. for it cannot withstand faith, it cannot withstand truth. the wall cannot withstand freedom. and i would like, before i close, to say one word. i have read, and i have been questioned since i've been here about certain demonstrations against my coming. and i would like to say just one thing, and to those who demonstrate so. i wonder if they have ever asked themselves that if they should have the kind of government they apparently seek, no one would ever be able to do what they're doing again.

-- many countries, but europe is the best example. in many cases the individuals left europe, left the european union under the radar. so countries don't know they spent the last year or two or three outside of europe and in the caliphate, in syria and iraq, and now they're returning again under the radar. so there's no indication in many cases that the individual left, is now a combat-hardened individual and is now returning, but we see them returning everywhere. europe is obviously just -- just in a few places in the caribbean there are some fairly radical individuals, places of worship there. we've seen individuals leave the caliphate and return to the caribbean. that's pretty close to home. and think tourism, think cruise ships. we see them going to the philippines, returning to australia, singapore, indonesia. so on the one hand the good news is the caliphate has been reduced. the advantage, frankly, of being in the caliphate is they planted a flag and said, "this is ours." now we know where they are and we can kill them, and we'

it would affect trade in europe and the fact that the united states had ties with europe. roosevelt was above all worried about the spanish civil war. what he thought might happen was that germany and italy on the one hand, and japan on the other hand, might get basis in south america, and from those bases they would at some point attacked the united states. perhaps they might even move into mexico which would be a closer base to the united states . none of this happen, but it seemed to roosevelt that it might happen. to most americans of course they were not concerned. they wanted the united states to stay out of wars, and for that reason in 1935 and 1937, neutrality acts were passed by congress, which did their best to keep mericans, the american people, american arms, american ships, american loans, well away from any country that was fighting. oosevelt was then in a sense out on a limb for seeing dangers that were not shared by most people in this country. but he had a clear duty to do what he thought was to protect the united states. he did this by securing the wester

but then it also was the basis of the rule-based order in europe. because the european coal and steel community came out of that and that evolved into the european union so we have been supporters of this. and one of the things we're trying to do is have more of a rule-based order in asia. i think that is part of the issue. so that leads me to my question to you. which is how do china's actions in south and east china seas erode world order. and what happens in terms of whatever rule-based order there is and why do we need it in asia. >> well madam secretary i recently travelled to a regional security conference in singapore. i travelled with senator john mccain to vietnam first for a memorable visit there and senator mccain and senator brasso participated in a security conference that brings together leaders from throughout the asia pacific and frankly the rest of the world we had a chance across seven different bilateral meetings with heads of state or national security advisers or foreign ministers from new zealand, indonesia, myanmar, japan, ger

how is that working in europe as well? thank you. >> our last question and then we'll answer all three. >> before i asked a question, i was raised in egypt and i have seen the culture there. so in egypt we have we versus them as well between egyptians. we have we versus them. so i figured the culture themselves became more aggressive, the religious dialogue became a cultural practice. how can we as policymakers change that? because people by nature became religiously radicalized. so how can we change the dialect of religion in the middle east? >> all right. we will just go straight down and answer whatever parts of the three questions you would like. >> thank you. about undercover agents relating to the radicalism i think it will be a waste of resources. and much more important to have community policing around. on the question of the eu, i already touched on it in relation to the information et cetera and i said then and repeat it now, we have learned our lesson. you may criticize the eu and the netherlands but we in the

europe is the best and worst example. many cases these individuals left european union under the rad radar. they don't know if they have spent the last two or three in syria and iraq and they are returning under the radar. there's no indication in many cases that the individual is now a combat hardened individual and is now returning. we see them urning everywhere. in a few places there's fairly radical individuals, places of worship there. we are seeing individuals leave and return to the caribbean. that's pretty close to home. think tourism. think cruise ships. we have seen them returning to australia, singapore, indonesia. the good news is it is being redu reduced. can the advantage is they have planted a flag and said this is ours. they are going back as little cancer cells back into society and we really have to be very very careful. >> and tsa, a lot of people think all they doo is screen at the airports. the other side is prevents people and bad things from get sbo ing into the united states. can you talk about the

the eu i think is very important to us because we do want the trade with europe. the people in brussels help to make the rules in terms of what happens on a digital market or how do we -- what happens to our agriculture. none of those things are easy but ultimately one can make an argument that various congressional districts benefit by some of the things that happen both in the eu and nato. but it takes explaining because we do have a tendency as americans to think well, we know what to do all by ourselves and we're strong and we are the most powerful country in the world, but i do think we need often to have allies that will help us. so, i think that there are serious things going on now that do, in fact, have a question in terms of how do we benefit. how does the u.s. presence in asia deter and defend against north korea's provocations? i think obviously they are not members of nato or the eu but what is the system and what do we have to do and you have as you said just been there. >> we have a different setup in asia. we don't have a collective security agreem

europe. in terms of an overall budget that is trying to defend american interests, sand advance american values, i don't see how it makes sense in an increasingly difficult and contested world to withdraw support from allies who have chosen us and our values and our side in a contest of ideas with russia, china and others. let me mention two other things before i run out of time. as has been mentioned by others, we have people-to-people programs like the fullbright scholarships that have had a big positive impact and elevate the reputation we enjoy in the world. africa is a very young and large content where china is omnipresent. the young africa's leaders frish tiff is a relatively modest in scope program that's had a big impact. i thought it was again not the choice i would have made, to cut all the educational cultural exchange programs in half. and yali would be one of them. i hope would you reconsider that. because these are powerful programs that connect us to parts of the world where w

world war ii broke out in europe in 1939. and in the subsequent year, there were tremendous advances by germany in europe. and roosevelt was very concerned to provide aid to great britain, which was really struggling hard to hold out against anoxia on-site, butnazi american public opinion was very isolated. people had sympathy, but they were very weary of getting involved directly. there was a lot of fear in some parts of the country that roosevelt, if he was reelected, was going to pull the nation into world war ii. so, that issue was also a key wondering the 1940 campaign. in the end, roosevelt was reelected to a third term. he lost some support in the midwest, but he still wins by a very comfortable margin, 54.8% of the vote to 48.8% of the vote for his opponent wendell will keep -- wendell wilkey. roosevelt was in his private study on a sunday afternoon, and most of the white house staff was that of the building. roosevelt was alone except for his close advisor, harry hopkins. roosevelt was working with his stamp collecti

it is very important because we do want to trade with europe. the people in brussels help to make the rules in terms of what happens on a digital market. none of those things are easy but one can nak an argument that various congressional districts really benefit by some of the things that happen both in the eu and nato. we do have a tendency to think we know what to do all by ourselves and we are strong and the most powerful country in the world but we need tuchb have allies that will help us. >> so i think there are serious things going on now that do, in fact, have a question in terms of how do we benefit. how does it deter and defend against north korea's provocations. what is the system and what do we have to do? you have just been there. >> we have a different set up in asia. we don't have a collective security agreement with two dozen or more countries. we have close alliances, bases, troops in a number of asian countries. for japan and south korea particularly for previous times, other threats. it has avoided the possibility of countries

>> just to clarify, europe receives 70% of its natural gas supply by way of pipeline to europe. because there are extensive historic pipelines that have been there for decades. russia is pursuing the expansion of a second pipeline that would connect to germany. we have encouraged european countries and the e.u. to at least subject that pipeline to the full rigors of their regulatory process and have suggested to them it's not in their long term energy security interest to become more dependent on russian natural gas and have pointed out the u.s. has an abundance of natural gas to ship lmg to europe. we're promoting the notion that europe needs to think about its total energy balance and its energy security and recognize how dependent they remain on russia. so we are having those kinds of dialogue with them. >> all right. thank you, secretary tillerson. >> senator murphy. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i know it's been long day, thank you for sticking with us. we had a vote on the floor of the senate earlier today on a small portion of the proposed armed saled to saudi ara

if we went on the beaches on d-day, then i can take my 60 divisions, moves across europe, stabilize the front against the russians and try to come to a negotiated settlement to end world war ii, were germany maintained at least part of the area they have conquered. he is not thinking in terms of total victory now, but he is thinking in terms of, i have to feed the british and americans at normandy. if we can do that, we can stabilize the eastern front with the 60 divisions we can move over there and there is still a good outcome in this case for germany. that is his thinking at this point in time. that is why normandy is very important for rommel, also. the germans think they have be successful here, at least along the atlantic wall. what does this mean for the americans? we're going to talk about the cossacks in the planning of the invasion. 1943, planning goes in the invasion, that the normandy invasion was selected because it in 1943.y defended the invasion will not take place for another year. they selected in 1943. in 1943. it it was poorly defended, and they infantry division. it

it does begin in this sort of europe centric and europe periphery with greece and turkey conflict, so much so that even the conflicts in indochina and indonesia that might have a little local coloring here and there are not quite conceived of as being the same phenomenon until fairly later in the game, so the radio infrastructure is built in europe in response, and that is really where the main chance is seen. i don't do much of that because my focus is elsewhere, but that by itself i think is telling. that is part of what i want to point our attention to, the way that scope widens over time. as for the truman doctrine, it is true that this was about the greece and turkey crisis, but the language of the doctrine is fairly totalizing. it does look at the broader setting, not just pulling it back to the idea of an anti-totalitarian crusade akin to the one we faced in world war ii, so this is our continued sort of duty, but one which threatens subjugated people everywhere. it is a little overblown in the rhetoric, and you may be right that i take it slightly to literally on its face, giv

when they discovered foreign-born inmates there, they paupers back to europe. >> who supported these measures? hidetaka: the nativisits. middle-class people detested the poverty and catholicism of the irish immigrants, and working-class people as well didn't like immigrants because they thought they were job competitors for americans. just like today's undocumented immigrants were accused of lowering wage standards for americans, working-class americans believed that irish immigrants would take away their jobs. >> were there any legal protections for the irish immigrants? hidetaka: yes. the biggest protection is citizenship. after all, irish immigrants were white, so they could become citizens through naturalization if they lived in the u.s. for 5 years. technically, deportation law only applied to noncitizens. if you become a citizen through naturalization that would exempt , you from deportation. >> does the 14th amendment affect the status of these immigrant groups? hidetaka: yes. 14th amendment is very important. to start with, it provided for the first time the definition of u.s

and europe is facing the same challenges, globalization is happening to europe. the pressure on jobs is the same in europe. and one of our research topics, i don't know the answer. i mean my friends on the left tend to say europe has a much better social safety net than we do. one of the policies that people talk about is mothers, children get state allowances on a regular basis which stops mothers having to shop around for men all the time and this sort of merry go round of marriages has slowed down. >> what is the cost to us if we don't solve this problem. >> well i think the opioid problem will get solved. >> putting aside the opioid problem, but the structure problem. >> what is that something that we can do. and i certainly think we need to think through all possibilities and look at some of the things that are happening in europe. the german apprenticeship system seems to really hold people together in a way that doesn't happen in this country, for instance. i know a lot of employers are upset about the labor force coming out of college is not trained for w

but you go to europe and there is monuments of that pole yan. there are all these monarchs that did all these bloody terrible things and they are still up and standing and nobody thinks we are there for blessing all of their worst deeds by continuing to have that history as part of our sort of public life. so i think it's -- there is something a little bit wanton and, you know, almost jacket thin in the let's take the names off, let's level. the better ways to go are to expand. so i think this is what princeton is doing. you have more of a plaques, more information giving a sense of who woodrow wilson was, why the school was named for him, good, bad, complex, that that more edge kaytive method is much better than the index of who's got to go. >> i actually -- i found it personally difficult as this unfolded. and i didn't have a clear answer. i spoke as a professor, not as princeton. my instinct was that the renaming wouldn't have the kind of effect that even the students were hoping for. my instinct was and it is still to some level, it is diffi

this is not happening in europe. and europe is facing the same challenges. globalization is happening to europe. the pressure on jobs is the same in europe. and one of our research topics, i don't know the answer. i mean, my friends on the left tend to say europe has a much better social safety net than we do. one of the policies that people talk about is mothers, children get state allowances on a regular basis, which stops mothers having to shop around for men all the time and this sort of merry-go-round of marriage has slowed down. in there's a lot of dysfunction going on. >> what is the cost to us if we don't solve this problem? >> i think the opioid problem will get solved. >> putting aside the opioid problem. but the more structural problem you identified. >> it depends on what the counterfactual is, do you actually think we can do something about this and what is that something we can do. i certainly think we need to think through all possibilities and look at some things that are happening in europe. the germ apprenticeship system seems to really hol

back into europe and those countries, those have all created a threat environment that i don't think anybody ever saw coming out on the horizon. now the challenge is how do you go back and stabilize syria, how do you go back and stabilize libya, yemen. and we still haven't really gotten a strategy to address a number of those issues. >> we've got a handful of failed states, which are effectively safe havens for terrorist groups. does the i.c. have the tools to work with entities in those nations to try and gather intelligence effectively? if not, how do we do the work around? >> i'll try to answer that question in less than 50 minutes. so the intelligence community has the capabilities, they have the resolve, they have the right people, they have the leadership. but this is an issue that's bigger than just the intelligence community. it starts with -- i think ambassador crocker is here today. one of the things he always says if you have wingtips and pumps on the ground, it prevents boots on the ground. basically, if you have diplomats on the ground, you can prevent the need for havin

and have the russians in europe demonstrated a preference for business people as political leaders with the hope they can entangle them in financial interests or they may allow the financial interests to take precedence over the interests of the countries in europe they represent? >> in our joint report, we recount that russians, that president putin has expressed a preference for business leaders in leading other governments and mentions schroeder and -- i forget one -- bettrl xoeny. >> president trump fired mr. comey last month. the former fbi director will testify thursday before the senate intelligence committee investigating russian activities during last year's election. we'll have live coverage here on c-span3 of the open hearing at 10:00 a.m. eastern. you can also watch live online at c-span.org or listen live using the free c-span radio app for apple and android devices. >> sunday night on "after words." new america president and ceo ann-marie slaughter examines global networking in the digital age in her book "the chess board & the web." miss slaughter is interviewed by dennis

he had gone on a trip to europe and been in a house like this in europe, and he had seen a room like this which he had admired greatly. he decided, one day if you change the house here, then he would have a room like the one he admired so much. this room was used for entertaining. when the king and queen of great britain came here in june of 1939, fdr wanted to serve dinner drinks in this room. they said it was ok, but they did not necessarily think that he for dinner -- that before dinner drinks would not be proper before dinner. his mother felt that dragging -- drinking tea would have been more proper. he told the visiting great britain king that, and he was told that his mother would have done the exact same thing. as he left the governorship, these two chairs were given to him as gifts. according to his wife, when they visited here, he would always visit -- he would always sit in the chair on the right. this was sarah roosevelt's home, too. very much so. over the mantle is a portrait of franklin delano roosevelt's great, great grandfather who started the family business as a suga

general, serve under a and we used to plan to fight the russians in europe. this was before the collapse of the soviet union. we would dig in defense after defense after defense, and i could not imagine somebody trying to charge one of these things here and plan on living through this thing. the marine corps will try to conduct an amphibious operation against the japanese deliberate defense. there will be 2000 fewer marines in the process of trying to do this thing. they had a two-hour prep for this. at normandy, they are going to have 40 minute preparation for this thing. ,y the time you get to iwo jima the marine corps are requiring three to four days of preparation against an enemy defense before they conduct an amphibious assault. again, at normandy, you are going to have 30 to 40 minutes. you ask yourself, why do you do it this way? big red one has conducted a few of these. they landed in north africa and in sicily. both times, they went in at night, under the cover of darkness. they went in under conditions that limited the effectiveness of enemy fire.
