taste some great potential we produce in lebanon. this is what we're produce in lebanon. this is what we' re really produce in lebanon. this is what we're really trying to make and we're really trying to make and we're succeeding. we're in 17 countries today. your vineyards, where you are, is eight kilometres away from an enormous refugee camp full of syrian refugees. you are keenly aware of the 1.5 million refugees in lebanon. your population is over four refugees in lebanon. your population is overfour million. refugees in lebanon. your population is over four million. what impact does that have, if any, on what you do? the security impact, but globally, i mean, that's fine. i mean we are the closest country to syria so we are the number one responsible country to solve their problems. if they want shelter, we're ready to cope with this. there is no direct impact on our business exactly, but of course, on in the long run it might be catastrophic. you can't employee any of the refugees, can you, because they haven't been processed and they're not in that position? no. sy

when she ended up in lebanon, it was in the middle of the civil war. so bombs were going off left and right. it was not the safest place to be at that time. and my father asked her, you know, are you sure you want to move here? and she said yes. this is one of the lessons my father taught me in business. don't just get a yes. a yes is easy to get. but it must be a meaningful yes. what did he mean by that? he felt that she might have put herself under pressure to make it work, and he wanted to remove the pressure from her. so he told her to go back to the states. go back to your own environment for one month and if you still feel that you can accept the change to move to lebanon, then you will move back and we will get married. so he sends her -- he borrowed money from his brother and he sent a large amount of money at the time because to make it to lebanon, you have to go through four airports and you might miss a flight. and you might have to spend three or four nights in a hotel, and who knows about availability? we're talking at a time that the fax

in lebanon, i/o is think of lebanon in a different category and maybe you disagree because you have spent so much of your life there, but i sort of look at lebanon and a poster sectarian area in the sense that despite the fact that there are religious factions and all sorts of different political interest groups, somehow the lebanese i guess maybe-- maybe having thought 15 years of civil war there is a contract on lebanon where hezbollah is very important in the government, but people undecided basically this is-- you really can't do that much about it, let's not kill each other over it. host: and the syria fact. guest: and the syria affect that's really terrifying people because no one was to become another syria. host: how much the proxy war in the region, you know, college or beauty to where we are today, i mean, you look at libya, for example and there is a proxy war happening between the sunni sunni aspect you are talking about, sunni sunni proxy war within libya. you look at iraq as well and there is a proxy were there, so how do you address this, do the populations of, you know, li

lebanon, i always think of lebanon sort of in a different category and maybe you disagree. you have spent so much of life there but Ãi sort of look at lebanon as, in a post sectarian era in the sense that despite the fact that there are religious factions, also some different political interest groups. somehow the lebanese i guess maybe having fought 15 years of civil war, there is a social contract now in lebanon where you know hezbollah, very important in the government. but people have decided okay, basically this is a faith Ãyou can't do that much about it. let's not kill each other over it. >> in this area effect. >> and the syria effect. right. as you mentioned it is really terrifying people because no one wants to become another syria. >> and how much the war in the region you know, contributed to where we are today? i mean you look at libya for example. there is a proxy were happening between the sunni Ãsunni war within libya and iraq as well there is a proxy were over there. so how do you address this, do the populations of you know libya or iraq or even lebanon

new places like lebanon. so what do you expect from the trump administration and looking at the region, what are he's looking like in four years? >> it's dangerous for anybody to predict, but having said that, it does seem that there would be an attempt to deal with iran in a different way. but i just don't know how effective that will be. i think that short of having a direct effect on the hardliners in iran and the revolutionary guard which is impossible, and what people don't understand is that there are many states, the state of the foreign ministry and th the state of state of ths in the revolutionary guards in the military apparatus and so you are dealing with many different states and this is why the nuclear negotiations with the presidency and foreign ministry that process doesn't have an effect on what aired on does in the ground except the nuclear deal has provided iran with tax reserves, the ability to sell loyal but presumably could aid the apparatus in all these countries. but i don't -- i think

we really recognise his voice in lebanon. hold — six, seven, eight. in 1990, during the final months of the civil war, fighting forced the company from our homes. as a family, we retreated from beirut and travelled up into the chouf mountains. so it was here in the mountain palace of beit ed—dine with explosions and gunfire just a short drive away that we devised our legendary dance production of shakespeare's midsummer night's dream. confined by war, the palace provided a haven for caracalla, while the barouk forest, a place of inspiration. out of this wood, do not desire to go. thou shalt remain here whether thou wilt or no. here in the forest, we could forget about conflict. what better place to recreate our midsummer night's dream? to transport shakespeare's tale of love and magic into dance, we found the thread of the story, inspired by these trees. words became movements. in our production, barouk is our mystical forest, and the fairies are enchanted genies. their mischief causes chaos. lord, what fools these mortals be. in lebanon today, for

. >> a battalion came out to oversee the withdrawal from lebanon. it got sucked in to the lebanese civil war. >> the civil war is between christians and muslims and the muslims looked like they were supporting christians. >> a big debate broke out afterwards. should we ever put the marines in that vulnerable position when they didn't have a clear mission. they were sitting there. >> the united states and the mideast was faced with an array of small forces and not uponing who or where they were or what they wanted. >> there no words to properly express our outrage. i think the outrage of all americans. >> do you have any idea who did it? >> the saddest day of my presidency, the saddest day of my life. it was the low point of the reagan presidency. >> a question that must be asked is why 241 men were killed boy a terrorist yet this country was not outraged. there were no demonstrations and no marchers and little outcry. the reason? within 48 hours of the bombing. the united states innovated grenada. >> about 1,900 rangers and marines this morning soug

but with them, they had the interview and everything and they are ok in lebanon at the time but one of my grandchildren is 21. they want to take him to the army. asaid no, he cannot serve government that has been killing people. he is in danger. difficult for us to keep the lebanese government, they are not taking any syrian refugees into their country because they have so many and we don't know what to do. lebanon, ify in they catch him, they will give him to the syrian government as they will put him in the army. we do not want this. i am an american citizen. my wife was born here. i'm a muslim, she is a catholic. we have no problem. these are not her children. she is fighting just like her own. it is always working, but some politician does not make it out that way. we live in the same house. one above the other like here in the bronx. i have jewish friends. i make dentist chairs. all my clients are jewish. i never have a problem with anybody and they never had a problem with me. you can check my name. i never had a complaint. so many immigrants are entrepreneurs, creating jobs. we

it in perspective, for more than a decade three separate presidents banned americans from going to lebanon, temporary bans for reasons of security, lack of vetting capability go both ways. as you might know jimmy carter banned people coming from iran, one of the seven countries we're dealing with. although i don't want to say that this was perfectly executed by any means and there has been some confusion, i think we have to put it in perspective, it's temporary. it does not target people, per se, based on religion and, quite frankly, most of the critics are saying other countries should be added if you want to catch all terrorists. that's sort of a counter message i keep hearing. >> but here's the thing. it's a combination of things that make people believe this

a world-renowned clarinet player is in lebanon for a concert. born in syria, living in new york, one of many unsure if he will be able to return. >> i've not been able to go back to damascus for a few years. now this other home and all my friends and family in the u.s. and that has also been blocked. reporter: the consequences of america's immigration changes are echoing around the region, in many places leaving behind questions and growing discord. laura: that is the scene overseas, let's bring it back to the u.s. a short time ago, i spoke to a former congressman and advisor to the trump transition team. there has been chaos at american airports and protests following the executive order on immigration. do you support it wholeheartedly? >> well, i think overall the objectives of what the president is trying to do is absolutely essential. stopping or detaining 109 people out of 325,000 people coming into the united states, i'm not sure i would call that chaos. laura: well, i was at kennedy airport yesterday and i can tell you it was chaos and so

she came to lebanon. she is not safe from her family here. we have other people who have been brought back to iraq to be killed by these tribes. so they need to get out of lebanon because they are not safe here. this ban prevents them from doing that. she sat in my office and showed me a certificate showing she had gone through cultural orientation sessions to prepare her for building a new life in the united states. she said america is a country that respects the rule of law. why would they pull the rug out from under my feet like this. >> before this executive order was signed just how difficult was it for refugees to enters the u.s. and do you think the administration understands the vetting system that was already in place for the u.s.? >> it appears -- and i think this is very disappointing. it appears they don't understand the system that was already in place. i sincerely believe this is an issue that most americans would truly change their mind about about the fact that was already in place. it is not like the situation that may be occ

and syria is next door to lebanon. many syrian christians have gone to lebanon where they've felt safe and been very strongly welcomed. while it's right to say those who are persecuted on religious ground should be able to claim refugee status, i don't think it would be right to say rush. >> and finally, mr. secretary, i want to be fair to the president. let put on the screen a portion of the executive order that he signed which pertains to some of the comments i made at the outset. reads: numerous foreign-born individuals have been convicted or implicated in terrorism related crimes since september 11. deteriorating conditions in certain countries increase the likelihood that terrorists will use any means possible to enter the united states. the u.s. must be vigilant during the visa process to be sure they do not intend to harm americans and they have no ties to terror. react to the executive order that he signed. >> i sat in a seating government where one has to take responsibility for national security. in the briti

in lebanon, it's one out of every four. so it would be the equivalent, for instance, in jordan, if 32 million people from canada came into the united states. so we need to think about how are we providing the support to enable these people -- most of whom actually want to stay in that region -- to, again, have the capacity to rebuild their lives there. >> because of the paris attacks, a lot of people -- not everyone -- are saying, "we don't want any syrian refugees in this country." people are so afraid that one might be a terrorist, so what do you say to that? >> well, i first of all tell people what they may not know, which is that it takes up to two years to move through the system of all of the security checks that enable people to become officially refugees coming to the united states. and we've only engaged, you know, maybe a little over a thousand syrian refugees in america to date. and so i think people keeping in mind that there are really strong, again, security measures that we are already taking to ensure we're
