states before the united states entered the war. and then he was working in connecticut. he took part in the selective service act of the united states and was drafted in the united states service. so his uniform as a united states soldier is also shown here next to his german uniform. he basically ended up near the same place in france that he had been as a german soldier two years before. just the incredible feeling that he was there serving, he de certificated, went to the united states and went back with the united states soldiers to serve with the american expeditionary forces during the war. to have both of these uniforms to survive and become part of the museum collection i think is a pretty interesting thing to have happened. as i mentioned earlier, the african-americans who served in the war were in two combat divisions, the 92nd and the 93rd. we're going to go take a look at some of their equipment. probably one of the most famous african-americans units during the war was the 369th infantry regiment. they were known as th

of the united states navy. [applause] i was with you four months ago, and i knew that i had to be here today. and i told you i would be back to congratulate you and the crew and everybody involved on commissioning the newest, largest, and most advanced aircraft carrier in the history of this world. that's a big achievement. after today, wherever this ship sails, you will all carry a proud title. plankowner of the uss gerald r. ford. [applause] for the rest of your lives, you will be able to tell your friends and family that you served on the greatest ship in the united states navy and, in my opinion, the greatest ship anywhere in the world. everyone should take a moment to celebrate this incredible achievement. i want to thank the many public servants who have joined us here today. treasury secretary mnuchin. governor snyder. governor mcauliffe. senator wicker. and members of congress. secretary stackley. admiral richardson. senior military leaders. and, of course, the great captain mccormack. [applause] captai

of the united states and the failures of the united states in our region. and based on that, based on that reassessment, we will see. the role and the place of various countries in the region we certainly hope and we're not competing with saudi arabia. we believe that iran and saudi arabia should be a part of a regional dialogue for i wrote an op ed in the "new york times" several years ago. >> rose: i remember. >> for a dialogue. i think that's what's lacking in our region. as soon as our saudi neighbors are ready to engage in dialogue in resolving issues through dialogue not through pressure because been unfortunately this has become a habit of either using the united states in order to put pressure on different countries or the countries that they can impose direct pressure to impose direct pressure. >> rose: does this include israel. >> modest. i'm talking about our immediate neighbor and that is persian gulf. it's not too modest because all of the wars in recent years from the iraqi invasion of iran to iraqi invasion of kuwait, to u.s. operations to li

pictures on the right side of the screen, the president of the united states about to arrive. top of how the meeting. they know they have differences, aired in separate settings each including today from president trump. interesting to see side-by-side, air differences ar play nice. you were about to say? >> going to say that the speech, we can kind of see trump's foreign policy here being sort of assembled in realtime. the hands of a few different advisers in that speech leading up to it -- there was talk about russia. had some tough talk at russia. there was also some lines about immigration. may have been aimed at merkel here. we've seen his policy, some shifts in his policy on china this week, and, yes. as we watch merkel here, i mean, a lot of talk about trump's meeting with putin and this may be actually the most important one and xi. >>> compared to a lot of leaders we've seen trump meet with, she doesn't pull punches and not afraid to sit or stand side-by-side in a news conference and make clear she doesn't agree with his world view and the statements she's made in ger

the united states caution ons. there are certain nations where if an individual is a dual nationality, that iran does not, does not acknowledge that and accept that someone is a dual national. we caution people to avoid that country and for the obvious reasons. reporter: why wouldn't you give a number and i understand you can't give names. more than a dozen? >> i wouldn't give an estimate at all. if i have something specific for you, i will. reporter: last time the secretary signed a round of sanction waivers said they were beginning a 90-day review of all-around policies. that would be ending today. >> the overall review like we have reviews on pakistan, and that is taking place. and we believe that while iran is in compliance with the agreement, there are still a lot of things that iran is doing that is troubling to this administration and we are going to push on the iranian regime to stop its destable lidsing activities. reporter: when the secretary signed the certification last time, he also said -- he criticiz

kim jong-un seemingly unfazed and mocking the united states saying icbm was a gift to the united states on its independence day. today, the meeting on the north korean threat seemed to accomplish little if anything at all. listening to ambassador nikki haley, it was clear the united states was caught flat-footed by the north's missile test and had little in the way of specific recommendations to discuss with other member states. fox news senior correspondent rick leventhal at the u.n. with our report. >> the secretary-general strongly condemning the launch of a ballistic missile of intercontinental range conducted by the dprk. this action is yet another brazen violation of the relevant security council resolutions and constitutes a dangerous escalation of the situation. >> outrage and warnings, but no new sanctions from the united nations security council meeting in emergency session over north korea's historic launch of intercontinental ballistic missile. the u.n. passed 15 resolutions against north korea in the past 11 years making it among the most sanctioned countries in the world,

where is the united states really in this? or should we describe this as president trump and the united states? >> we're in a bad way on this, you know, 98 years ago we had the versailles conference at the end of world war i, and in the weird after that, despite a period of isolation in the late 1930s, the united states has been the leader of the free world. we have stood up and been -- the other nations haven't always agreed with us, but we have been the dominant voice leading the west. now, we're taking a step back. we're saying we're going to be on the sidelines while the entire rest of the world moves forward on climate change, and we're also going to do a very smelly deal with russia, which a lot of the rest of the world understandably fears, and we are essentially turning over power to russia, turning over russia to china, and retreating as a nation. and this is terrible for our country, a weak president. >> the narrative typically has been about nato, about the g20, the united nations. is it now being led by the united

the big issue of north korea, the big push by the united states, the united nations last night for increased sanctions on korea. we have heard what president putin has to say about sanctions already. but it will be meeting with president xi jinping when donald trump does that here, he'll have to try and convince the chinese leader of the u.s. position and to try to get their support, or at least not have theirs and russia's vetoed by the u.n. on any vote on increase in sanctions in north korea. so staying on script on that topic alone, if he wants that resolution to pass at the united nations, that will be hugely important. again, all those other issues we talked about, trade, globalization, climate change as well. if they differentiate right now between president trump and many others at the g20, hannah. >> nic, thank you. melissa bell still standing by. we have seen the two leaders shake hands. and they have gone off for their talks now. what will the polish president be looking for specific to his country from donald trump? >> definitely security and energy. a commitment of the united sta

the united states and japan. we rotate the location between tokyo and washington, dc, and so that means that last year, japan hosted one forum in tokyo. so mr. mullen talk about this earlier. so i was -- when i was in active duty we had a similar job and similar timing. since then, we have been working on exchanges and also transanalysis. so with him i really experienced that kind of sharing of information. for now, we are coming here as representatives from the united states and also japan. thought that we had really good communication but through this kind of forum i experienced that there was a gap and there's something that we need to address, and then, again, from first forum to fourth forum, we're developing really good communication and also good information sharing, and then i think we're becoming together regarding what needs to be said to have really good communication. for our forum i want to say my personal impressions. first off, of course, south china sea and other various security issues are there,

where iranians have obtained a promise from the united states and from the united states, from the european countries and from the united states, to refrain from doing anything that would prevent the normalization of regular trade and economic relations of other countries with iran. and this is the main issue that i think is a lot of people are saying in iran. that, in fact, united states is trying to prevent other countries from normalizing their trade relationshipings with iran. and we can see this number increasing from 75% last year who were saying that united states contrary to its obligation is trying to prevent. and this number has now increased to 81%. now, when it comes to donald trump, all along, there was this assumption that he will do something that wok at odds with the jcpoa. 71% have that feeling. when it comes to the new sanction, we have asked this question. back then, it wasn't certain yet so we phrased it as the united states is thinking about imposing new sarngsnctions on iran because of missiles, helping groups like hezbollah and its stance toward israel. wanted to get

western part of the united states. we'll see if there is any relief ahead. you're watching "cnn newsroom." people would ask me that we traveled,ntries what is your nationality and i would always answer hispanic. so when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. i'm from all nations. it puts a hunger in your heart to want to know more. honey, we do? we need to talk. i took the trash out. i know. and thank you so much for that. i think we should get a medicare supplement insurance plan. right now? [ male announcer ] whether you're new to medicare or not, you may know it only covers about 80% of your part b medical expenses. it's up to you to pay the difference. so think about an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay and could really save you in out-of-pocket medical costs. call now. with a medicare supplement plan, you'll be able to stay with your doctor. oh,

united nations today was the continuation of the spectacle in which the united states and her increasingly few hours are using by an international body of peace as a client of global apartheid to justify and rubberstamp wars and saying sions which amount to war they're going to be watching today's proceedings they're going to hate the united states even more than they already do they'll see russia and china is countries which don't necessarily always agree with them countries which on allies to them but countries which do not wish them and the people home countries that want to engage in peace the countries that could end up saving north korea from american aggression and they will smile upon that surely they're not provoking the international community that's the spin based on washington's dominance in the international community at the united nations just three weeks ago the united states carried out a bomb a nuclear bomb dropping drill bits simulated the nuclear destruction of north korea nobody called their provocative where north korea sends off a missile test saying we're not going t

idea in the united states. through democratic mandates, not by verge of who they're related to >> but a lot of people have been complaining when donald trump is in the chair. when someone else, they're not happy about that one either >> two things about this, you know, it was interesting i heard donald trump say that his daughter's life would be better off if she weren't his daughter, which i thought was a really unexpected sort of observation to me. and then, but to in fairness about this conversation, the german chancellor came out and said it is normal to have someone sit in your place. is this making a mountain out of a molehill? these headlines take away from real news >> the handshake with the first lady of poland was presented in false way. the ivanka trump >> as soon as i said is it news worthy? >> somewhat, i mean, i don't think -- it's, yes, on one level, it's frivolous but on another, it does point to a certain attitude that the president holds about >> billy card sat down? in him me carter's chair,

i diabetes drug costs $186 in the united states. diabetes a very, very serious problem, 186 bucks in the united states.$4 $47 in france, same drug. this is a health care reform debate. i have yet to hear one republican raise that issue, madam president, but i think the people in iowa and the people of vermont want us to raise that a issue. a popular drug for high cholesterol costs $86 in the united states. 86 bucks, $29 in japan.ore another serious problem, cost one of 55 bucks in our country, $38 in germany, and the list goes on and on and on. that is why millions of people, by the way, are now buying their medicine in canada and other countries because they are sick and tired of being ripped off by the pharmaceutical industry, an industry that spans billions of dollars over a period of time on lobbyists here, campaign think, contributions. you might think, just might, that when we do with health care reform one republican, as one might stand up and say well, you know, maybe we might want to stand with the elderly and the sick in t

to reduce the gas lines in the united states? >> my information is in the next few weeks, hopefully sooner there will be an increase of supply of gasoline to the affected areas. >> i think it's phony. i think they're trying to get the prices jacked up. that's my personal opinion. >> what was once a distant foreign policy issue has become a domestic issue. >> a truck strike has driven food prices upward, slowed industry and resulted in violence. the bloodiest episode in levitt town, pennsylvania, 32 people were injured when motorists joined the protests. >> the crowd of 2,000, to 3,000. mostly young teenagers, packed the intersection and then it turned violent. >> this is levittown, pennsylvania, the quintessential symbol of middle america. middle america is in torment about the gas crisis. >> sunday, july 1, carter flies home from the tokyo summit and announce is a television speech off to the nation thursday. then to camp david by helicopter presumably to work on that energy speech. but then, a sudden change. the energy speech i

of the united nations for the united states done talking about north korea china where they must act japan itself korea must increase pressure not only u.s. problem it will require an international solution so at least nikki haley's saying international solution president trump wasn't quite as international about his tweeting we have a couple of his tweets as well says i'm very disappointed in china are foolish past leaders of allow them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade yet they do nothing for us with north korea just talk we will no longer allow this to continue china could easily solve this problem now i don't know what mr trump is thinking when he thinks china could easily solve the problem this is the north korea issue obviously and when you see what's going on i mean he's really escalating the rhetoric now with china there's eve. talks of sanctions being kicked in against china and we know how reliant these two countries are u.s. and china on each other when it comes to trade we might even see steel tariffs come into play these are some of the things that

the united states with nuclear weapons. it constitutes a serious escalation of nuclear and ballistic missile programs. our goal was to protect the country, citizens and allies died eliminating the development of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. the strategy to achieve the goal uses diplomatic, economic and other tools to build comforted global pressure on pyongyang to abandon the internationally proscribed nuclear programs. they understand the only path to the legitimacy regime security and economic prosperity is a denuclearized korean peninsula. there are three components to the strategy the first is un action in concert with our allies we've called on all un member states to fully implement a strong sanction required in the un security council resolution 2321, 2270 and 2256. we will continue to work to increase international sanctions. the second component is the poetic action by un member states. we've urged countries around the world to take their own actions to express their condemnation such as suspendin

to the united states. it hates us. not everybody has to love america. i do, and i hope most people living here do, but they just -- they do not see a way forward for themselves without a nuclear weapon capable of striking as a deterrent. the dangerous part is that we have seen their willingness to backstab us and work around back channels against us. we need to go in there, and present that -- prevent that from happening. host: are you talking a preemptive strike on their nuclear facilities? their missile facilities? facilities, and then with the french, we help them establish nuclear power facilities. or 10 years, we stopped the march forward of a nuclear rise north korea. and all we did was provided them with the materials and resources continuemic backing to to pursue a nuclear program. with the end of that 10 years, the state went in, seized all of those assets that we brought in, and put it into their nuclear missile program. host: so negotiations had failed in the past and you do not trust they will

than the united states and the united kingdom. we share the same values of democracy, of justice, of freedom, tolerance, values we fought for throughout the past century. but we didn't just fight. we also championed the cause of liberty, the free markets, the innovation that technology demands. we gave people ever greater opportunity to live wealthier, healthier, happier, for your lives. so if we get this right, if we present our case strong enough again, we will do more than simply build resilience in our country's. we can reawaken the hopes of those still living under oppressive regimes. in the 1980s president reagan and margaret thatcher succeeded in shattering the shackles of communism. not just because they railed against the cruel and desolate creeds that lurked behind the iron curtain but because they presented the curtain of a better life. i remember a few years back being struck by a description of what was called a beautiful moment when news of reagan's evil empire speech reached siberia. the words he wrote, the brightes

of the united states. in terms of our electoral system, our democracy. earlier this week, i called upon him to give us a vote on this independent commission. outside independent commission to investigate the ties to russia. what do the russians have politically or financially and any personally on donald trump? that he fonds over putin, questions sanctions, is reckless when it comes to article five of nato, the list goes on and on. people have a right to know. maybe it will clear the air. maybe it won't. we know one thing for sure, we have a responsibility to make sure that russia does not meddle in our elections again. that would be the purpose of such an investigation. i mentioned calling upon the speaker to give us a vote on independent commission, i also called to the revoking of the security clearance for jared kushner. that is absolutely ridiculous that he should have had that clearance. it is not justified in any way. the president could revoke it and he should. republicans in congress should stop h

of the united states said. but to take the petty political plays that are going in here at home and take it to the world stage, was that a surprise to the press corps? >> not at all. it was not a surprise that the first question he would take from an american reporter and from the friendly news media, friendly reporter who teed up a question about cnn. for the president to go off on cnn about fake news, made this spectacle feel like a fake news conference. this was not an attempt by the president to seek out a question from somebody who was going to challenge him on the issues. david and i have known each other for a long time. he covered donald trump on the campaign trail. i think he's a good guy. but in this instance, i think the conservative news media was being used here. and i do think that's unfortunate. a couple things we want to point out. the president once again said that barack obama did nothing from august to november about russian meddling. that is simply fake news. president obama talked to vladim

president of the united states agreed. this morning putin created even more confusion by again kind of summarizing how that meeting went with trump. >> did trump agree with your position that there was no interference in the u.s. election? >> translator: well, he -- let me repeat -- he answered all the questions and i think that he noted it and he agreed with it. but i think it's better to ask him exactly what you asked rather than me. >> all right. let's bring in cnn senior international correspondent matthew chans in moscow. so, what else did putin say about meddling, about his relationship with president trump, that meeting while at the g-20? >> well, up like president trump he gave a press conference today in which he opened the floor to questions from journalists, russian journalist, i think, about how the meeting went with trump and with the other world leaders that vladimir putin but meeting with. he was asked the question how the meeting wept with trump of course and this has been one of the big areas of anticipati

went out by the president of the united states today? >> we all need to up our game. first off, i don't have my daughters on twitter watching these videos or anything else. my daughters aren't on social media, and i wish i could send them -- have them on social media, but they're still just 10 years olds. you know, i want to add, it's not just the president of the united states. there's a whole lot of responsibility to go around. there are great people in the media who, they earn awards for, for journalism. earn pulitzer prizes for investigative journalism and doing great work and also inside the media, selling to stir emotion, and to get people fired up and not so much tell folks exactly what the journalistic investigatory news is of the day and then hollywood and those examples of where -- >> why can't we just stick to the moment and issue right now? why is it you want to, you know, take this into another direction? let's talk about this latest example from the president of the united states today, the message that it sends ahead of hi

there was a feeling that the united states and i felt it, the united states could lose the cold war. >> there was a model of behavior during the cold war, and the way i often described it, it was the red side of the map and blue side of the map, separated by the iron curtain. the rest of the world we competed for. >> that fundamental clash between communism and capitalism, between dictatorship and freedom divided the world. but it is a revolution starting to stir. >> there has been an unexpected development abroad. polish workers in the baltic area are standing firm in their strike against the government. >> the demands of striking polish workers concluded free press, release of political prisoners and right to strike. they assumed the risk of striking illegally. >> along comes solidarity, but not a union run by communists, it is a union run by polish patriots, so it is a tremendous threat to the ussr because of possible contagion, it would wipe out communism if allowed to spread. >> in this season of discontent, spent part of the weekend reinforcing the link between the poland worke

united states this is their long standing goal is to control the united states to back their plans they don't have the military might to fight iran they might have the might to back. to back a stream that's throughout the region particularly in syria but they can't take on iran without the united states coming on board i think that's what we saw on trump went to saudi arabia and to israel that they were lobbying him to do this eventually and it's very scary because trump might be someone who will go along and do it he seems reckless and as far as qatar goes you know i mean and the qatar situation to get it shows again this would normally split and really a factor we have to consider is incompetence in washington right now because you've got to listen and not to some one side saying they want to negotiate selman and drops going out on twitter you know back in saudi arabia to saudi arabia to the hill to calling qatar the largest purveyor of terrorism in the world so you've got they've got to get together on the. same page somehow or other we don't know what's going to happen but they cert

united nations today was the continuation of the spectacle in which the united states and her increasingly few are lies or using by an international body of peace as a client of global apartheid to justify and rubberstamp wars and saying sions which amount to war they're going to be watching today's proceedings they're going to hate the united states even more than they already do they'll see russia and china is countries which don't necessarily always agree with them countries which on allies to them but countries which do not wish them and the people of home countries that want to engage in peace the countries that could end up saving north korea from american aggression and they will smile upon that surely they're not provoking the international community that's the spin based on washington's dominance in the international community at the united nations just three weeks ago the united states carried out a bomb a nuclear bomb dropping drill that simulated the nuclear destruction of north korea nobody called their provocative where north korea sends off a missile test saying we're not go

they wrote "when the president of the united states is tried." the constitution grants the congress what the founders believed were most of the government's most important powers. and, yes, the president could nominate a supreme court justice, but only the united states senate could confirm that justice. over time with the congress acquiescence, the modern president in the age of intercontinental ballistic missiles has usurped some of the congress's exclusive war-making power. we now have a president who knows nothing of the constitution and knows nothing of our history, and by all appearances, arrived in the job surprised that congress had any power over him at all or that the courts had any power over him. and so 241 years after the declaration of independence, 228 years after the constitution, how are the founding documents holding up against what might be the only president who has never read them? joining us now, joy reid, the host of am joy weekends on msnbc, and joan walsh, national affairs correspondent at the nation and an msnbc politica

the state department reports that the united states and qatar maintain a strong partnership in the fight against terrorism. and after signing a miu with the united states aimed at establishing -- aimed at disabling terror finance, secretary tillerson praised qatar for being the first to respond to president trump's challenge to stop the funding of terrorism. terrorism poses just as much as a threat to qatar as the united states and every other nation and that is why our threat to resolve this is unwaivering. terrorists are made. they are not born. that is why we have developed a wholistic approach to combatting terrorism. that is why we have developed two american bases in qatar, a military base, which everyone is familiar with, but more importantly an educational base. by creating an educational hub in qatar that includes some of the best american institutions from georgetown university to northwestern university that spread american values, we are directly combatting the root causes of terrorism. hopelessness and lack of education and opportunity. locating countries should remember tha

united states this is their long standing goal is to control the united states to back their plans they don't have the military might to fight iran they might have the might to back. to back three months throughout the region particularly in syria but they can't take on iran without the united states coming on board i think that's what we saw on trump went to saudi arabia and to israel that they were lobbying him to do this eventually and it's very scary because trump might be someone who. go along and do it he seems reckless and as far as qatar goes you know i mean if the qatar situation to get it shows again this would normally split and really a factor we have to consider is incompetence in washington right now because you've got to listen and not to some one side saying they want to negotiate selman and drops going out on twitter you know back in saudi arabia to saudi arabia to the hill to calling qatar the largest purveyor of terrorism in the world so you've got they've got to get together on the same page somehow or we don't know what's going to happen but they certainly are not.

of the united states. so let's talk about all of this with cnn political analyst and correspondent for politico, cnn political analyst and historian, and politics reporter for the daily beast. good to see all of you. and we're also learning more information on this fourth of july, the russian president, vladimir putin says what it is important for russia and china to push their initiatives to resolve the korean peninsula crisis, so that being said, julian, it appears as though the russian president is getting out in front, really controlling what potentially could happen at the g-20. it's the kremlin who says it will now be a bilateral meeting between putin and trump, and it's from the russian president now saying that north korea is also going to be on the table in discussions during this g-20. so what do you read from this in terms of how putin may be in the driver's seat of these issues? >> putin has been very eager to be in the driver's seat of handling the problem in this region, the interests of russ

his side. >> rose: the united states supported saddam. >> not only the united states supported saddam. everybody else. why did they make that wrong decision. in 1988, he turned his weapons against the people who had financed him. we supported kuwait after it was invaded by saddam hussein. but they didn't learn their lesson. unfortunately then they went and support the taliban. and then after that they went and support al-qaeda. and after they went and supported mosul. >> rose: the united states and you shared an opposition to the taliban, and in fact, the united states cleaned out the taliban after 9/11 as you know. >> yes. i'm talking about saudi arabia making the wrong choices. and the united states initially made some wrong choices too. >> rose: there was a time when you were on the same side in opposition to the taliban. >> we both opposed the taliban. whether we were on the same side or not it's for history to decide. >> rose: when you look today, what does iran want? what role does it want to play in the world. >> iran is a country that has been able to survive despite pressure,

the united states. you also see people in berlin, maryland for intuit as -- people in cumberland, maryland referring it to the great western road. it connects them to the west. all of these different people and different meanings and relationships to the road. very alongthe use the road? used fore it being goods and resources back and forth. building economic power in the united states. in the many merchants western towns, these communities, advertising in newspapers that they happy latest goods from ultima, philadelphia. they are proud they can get the products and fairly quickly. of course, mail will travel along the road much faster than any other route in the area. you also see the establishment of new communities. people are moving along the road. they are immigrating westward. some will continue out to indiana, illinois and beyond, but some will stop in places like pennsylvania and create brand-new communities to serve maybe the stagecoaches coming through. you will need towns. have places to repa

the united states is one of the largest carbon emissions. the fact that it has rejected international cooperation, with -- nations finding the paris signing the paris agreements, with 153 benefit case in's sends a negative message to many other nations. while these decisions give theory,o the isolation or the view that it is waning, i do not subscribe to other. the relative economic and military power of the united states and other powers have shifted in recent years. the fact is, the united states remains the dominant world power on virtually all measures. senioriscussions with members of the trump administration, it is clear that they are well aware of the importance of continuing economic growth in this region to the world economy at large. peace and prosperity, and a system of international rules by which both can be maintained. our intention is to prosper. this is clearly in the national interest of the united states. much of the economic growth in our region is driven by the united states as an engine of innovation. a provider of the m

they want to be on parwith the united states in influencing the world. but long term strategy is to replace the united states as the preimminent power in the world. they will be trampling on our interest in the world as they are in the pacific. >> lou: general, to me it is almost unthinkable. obviously i've lived some of the greatest of american history over the past 50 or 60 years. but to think that china could catch up to us militarily, to me is unthinkable. am i utterly wrong? >> no, they are clever. they are not going ship to ship or artillery. and they watched the soviet union to do that. they have a strategy that is designed primarily to take advantage of our vulnerabilities and also advice their capabilities. they will develop a blue water navy. maybe not on the size of ours but it will be more than enough. they think the united states is a waning country in terms of influence and problems that we have. and they think they are rising economically and will rise militarily. and they are confident about it. their military has a certain amount of hume

united states of america the africans online with the british against the ninth -- a united states of america in the world war of 1812. you have britain set washington d.c. on fire with an early form of preparation plundered the white house sending james madison and his gal dolly fleeing into the st. [laughter] one step ahead of the africans in the redcoats pursuing them and put that event with regard to the 200th anniversary. with that can get more discussion. but and in 1807 is the anniversary that tony blair and the prime minister and the queen of these people he would have thought there would be an official ceremony marking the end of the african slave trade. should we infer people were not happy? [laughter] i don't know. but to tell the story to understand how slavery was involved this is part of the take away to understand how slavery was abolished or jim crow to make progress is in the future you have to understand what is happening in the world 1807, 1808, you have the 200 anniversary of the official abolition of the african slave trade. we was marked by tony blair, then prime

united states the input. in your role how about the cia could be called versus a program that trouble just council this week i mean that's that counts as engagement i would think well that was very late and very limited i was working and the department of defense at the time of the syria uprising and i can tell you it caught us all by surprise you know i was one of the first people advocating that we should move to oust assad he was a bad leader of syria and enemy of the united states and my arguments fell on deaf ears the u.s. position was to stay out of this and it wasn't until many years later that the united states started to get involved in a very limited way but not nearly. as significant a way as russia russia intervened used force against the syrian people with. in a way that i think has continued to contribute to civil war the united states under obama and kerry were trying to negotiate a settlement to this for many years but yet though the war continues to rage with the help of russia assad and iran

when the united states entered the first world war? >> i have a georgia accent which is even better. >> we'll mix it up. >> this will be a decisive break with american history. woodrow wilson is going to take this precipitous step to build this army for the first time in american history primarily on conscription due to three major things. first of all, he is a professor of history and american government. he is well aware of the challenges that the republic faced in the past with raising its war-time armies and the issues of politics and the constitutions that were involved. second reality is, he is a man of his time. he is a progressive in the progressive era. and a lot of the progressives had an absolute faith in the ability to use the power of the federal government to efficiently and effectively deal with the problems of american society. and last and i would argue most importantly, we get to sit back and watch the british bungle through this for nearly three years, and as we'll see there is a lot of similarities between the briti

order and then shipping it into the united states. so, there is a lot of ways to get around them. and if you have good enforcement and the last several administrations -- certainly the last one, clearly this one, are determined to put a lot of resources into more enforcement. you can probably have a -- much greater likelihood of them actually achieving their objective. when they work -- i mean, i guess the next question is you have to say what does work mean. i think there is -- occasionally people talk about working in terms of their effect on the number of imports or the effect on market share and things like that, all of which is relevant. but i think, to me, the more important indication is do they produce a price effect because that's the point. the purpose of adding a tariff is to raise the price of the imported product. to get it out of the dumped range and presumably to put it at a level at which the domestic product can compete. back in the dark ages, in fact, when i started doing this, which was the '80s, the biggest argumen

united states. he has a court which he learned will challenge the president. he has governors, 50 of them, half of whom think they should be president and they of legislators. by the way he has the press as well, civil society, and american tour ungovernable. and so the job of getting to be president is one thing. once you're there is quite another. the learning curve has been steep but i think we've seen some things that really the world likes in what they see in america. i think the decision to strike the syrian airbases after the chemical weapons attack by assad on his own people was a very important corrective. we had laid out a red line for five years ago. it had been crossed. we have been nothing. eroded american credibility. in that single strike, the administration said this far and no further charges something sadder intolerable. i saw something else in the way this president did they. remember he said i couldn't sit by and watch babies choking on chemical gas. what he was really saying was

states they will do it but imagining that the relationship between russia and the united states can ever be economically normal and non adversarial i think the russians and i just think think just the by the way are the ordinary people to in russia now accept that simply isn't going to happen and the russians are now looking at their other options and they have many they have many here you know mitch i guess the real winner is sonali of this is that ok we have the unofficial of cold war two point zero it's been of been declared now the arms manufacturers well they go to the bank here are the liberal mainstream media they can't get over the election of last year they will keep pounding away on russia russia russia until the midterm elections you know these are the people the benefit from all of this and then we have the deep state has been. mentioned before they will drip out all of these leaks here to make sure that any kind of move to better relations will be impossible in the legislation is it remarkably is that if trump actually wants to do some kind of improvement with russia he

i respect the decision made by korea and the united states. however, the korean government's endeavors to observe the due process of law will prove to be beneficial also to the advancement of our alliance. on that note, i ask for your deep understanding and support. ladies and gentlemen, let me now share my thoughts on great alliance, the title of my speech today. the alliance between our two countries is already a great one. still, it can be made even greater. i found that spirit in the battle of the reservoir. the divisional commander smith, who led that heroic battle, called the evacuation operation an attack in a new direction, not a retreat. this is what defines the spirit of our alliance. ahead of us awaits a special undertaking. an undertaking that has remained unsolved for the last 20 years as a historic conundrum. it is none other than nuclear and missile programs of north korea. a threat that is already spreading beyond the boundaries of the korean peninsula toward the united states. even as we face the most imminent and dangerous me

the united states. the united states is arguably our most important economic partner. it is by far our largest source of investment, coupled with our second-largest trading partner after china. the united states has been our major alliance partner since 1951, although we have been alongside the united states in every major conflict over the past 100 years. currently we are partnering with the united states in the fight against terrorist and extremist in iraq, syria, afghanistan and the philippines. u.s. leadership has been -- military and security operations worldwide. australian leadership has been important in timor-leste, where we have demonstrated our ability to contribute to regional security for the benefit of other nations. against this background, and in this context, to my mind, there has been no diminution in the united states engagement or commitment to our region. it continues to build regional capacity through development assistance in maritime security, counterterrorism and intelligence sh

congress of the united states. there will be no side deals or turning a blind eye to its actions. this legislation, mr. speaker, will also make it clear that russia's interference in ukraine comes with consequences and it puts pressure on iran to end its ballistic missile program. in addition, it deters hopefully north korea from pursuing its dangerous development of nuclear weapons and vehicles to deliver those weapons as close as the western part of this country. i urge my colleagues to support this legislation and send it to the senate as quickly as possible and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york -- or the gentleman from california. mr. royce: well, mr. speaker, i wanted to recognize the good work of the democratic whip, mr. steny hoyer, and also the republican leader, kevin mccarthy, on this legislation and thank them. mr. hoyer: if the gentleman will yield? frankly, all four of us, yourself, your leadership, mr. engel, the majority leader and i were primpled

remember, the reaction to the announcement by the united states but even in the united states, and here i'm not trying to, let's say, to reduce the impact of the u.s. leaving. that was obviously not good news but what is happening? not only the rest of the world confirmed but what happened is a reaction by governors and by the cities and by the private sector, and by a whole culture in the united states it's the most vibrant society. everybody is out there, you know, trying to outdo each other. there's going to be competition among companies to see who is the greenest the consumer will be rewarding the companies that are greener et cetera. >> the problem is there's still also three years to actually leave the agreement, maybe there's room for reconsideration. we just delivered a report to angela merkel called investing in climate, investing in growth, we're saying maybe it's good for the environment, it can be good for business, for jobs, for growth if you do it right. >> hopefully we can convince donald trump as well about that. thank you very much for joining us here. have a good day

over and over again in every survey around the world this is the united states the united states is a view internationally as the main threat to world peace americans don't know that americans are very limited very parochial and they don't have a sense of how we are perceived in the world or the role that we've played. for example if i can go on a little bit longer the whole question of of hacking the election ok you know russians certainly have the capability and maybe a motive to hack the u.s. election but the u.s. has interfered in election after election after election overthrown governments repeatedly you know this is not something that just russia you know this but other let me jump in here peter and we have to go to a hard break and after our short break we'll continue our discussion on russia u.s. relations stay with. us. here's what people have been saying about redacted in ny the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch a lot of the really packs a punch. yap is the john oliver of party america is doing the same we are apparently better than food

within the united states, in the united states government. >>. >> i would just maybe build on that for that by saying, the big five, the original big five, there was a concept of operations that went along with that, airland battle and that, the two fit together and that was a big reinforcing function for what made a compelling case. >> see the rest of that discussion on our website at c-span.org, we have this from the hill as we head to the senate, president from hosting centers at the white house for lunch today plot a path forward after the collapse of their healthcare plan. coming a day after senate leaders were forced to abandon their plan to repeal and replace obamacare due to a lack of republican support. majority leader mitch mcconnell said yesterday he would move forward with a vote on repealing obamacare but even that measure lacks the votes necessary. read more@thehill.com. you can hear more about this shortly from senator mcconnell as the u.s. senate is about to go in at 10:30, senators will go to advance nomination. >> will lead the senate in prayer. the chaplain: let us p

charlie: the united states and president trump in this case, believe that russia and the united states can work together in the interest of changing syria. do you believe that iran and russia and america, can work together? to change syria? to stop the war and heal the country and revealed the country? javad zarif: i think everybody should work together in order to end this tragedy in syria. you preparedare and would like to work with the united states and russia? javad zarif: we were a member of the international syria's support group which included united states and russia. and also it included countries in the region. we would not be able to do this without the support and assistance of other countries in the region. i believe you will not be able to end the conflict in russia -- in syria without saudi arabia, ,ithout turkey, without qatar without egypt. charlie: of course. javad zarif: and without iran. and most importantly you would not be able to end the conflict in syria without the syrians. at the end of the day they should decide. the rest of us should just facilitate. we shou
