and so, so part of this is just america bank, part of this is just see the challenge of change america. think about america went into world war 2, demilitarised. bulgarian portugal have bigger armies. within 3 years we had 15000000 men and women in uniform. we had individual factories in detroit that made more tanks and the entire german reich. for every 5 pounds of equipment the japanese got per capita to a frontline soldier. we got 2 tons and across 13000 kilometers of open ocean, an american merge from the war with the rest of the world prostrate, right? and so, and 945, we made 46. once we went back and automated the old manufacturing, we made 95 percent of the world's automobiles. and so with that kind of ascendency came in it inevitably, a certain amount of pride and hubris. and it's difficult to back off from think of the british empire. it's surprising to remember that the british empire actually reached its greatest geographical extent as late as 935. well, of course now we know that that, that empire was in, in retreat. if you will, by the diamonds you believe was certainly b

faith in america. it was a very, it has been a very unifying time, as it was right from the start, with the president's remarks that they, president bush, as well as president obama. president lincoln cautioned against the silent artillery of time. the harsh artillery of time eroding our memory. today and always, we renew our valve. time shall not give him the memory of our fallen heroes. we pray that the years might ease the pain of the bereaved, but never the luster of the deeds of the fallen. when we visit the memories of september 11, we are on sacred ground. 20 years ago on that clear tuesday morning, america was forever changed by an act of terrorism. in a moment, nearly 3000 lives were taken and the innocence of a generation was lost. yet in our darkest moment, america shows the world our greatness and the heroism of the first responders who rushed to danger and the strength and the strangers founded by the loss of the strangers who found unity in our agony. as americans mark this solemn day, we

we are working to finally end america as longest war, and it's time to end forever. war the america's proudest movement of the afghan war wasn't supposed to be a humiliating evacuation under the guns of the taliban. but it was, there is absolutely nothing else to celebrate. the united states ended 20 years of war in afghanistan, the longest war and american history. we completed one of the biggest air lists in history with more than 120000 people evacuated to safety. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history. the only the united states have the capacity in the will and believe you to do it. and we did it today . where was the afghan army? where was the width and backed government? where did all the money go? the united states sank more than a $100000000000.00 in the rebuilding of data stock for reference adjusted for inflation. that is more that the united states sped on the marshall plan to rebuild europe after world war 2. and the tragedy of it is that for a civilian the side from all the american weapons of the taliban pads, berries almost no evidence t

, world war i came to america but it was a great world war because you cannot number in number them, he asked for reserve documentation meeting he would not be drafted and you already received his draft notice. the honey fitz and he became a manager at the fore river shipyard in boston. the only problem joe hadn't been briefed combination of that and people had actually been drafted in management and governor roosevelt was angry because everybody walked out on the eastern seaboard, he and charles schwab who owned the shipyard as he was in in charge had to step in personally to get the men back to work and joe was put into a lesser function until the war was over. after the war he went to work for stockbrokers and after couple years he went to wall street and by 1925 he made his first millions and set up his children with million-dollar trust funds in 1925 he bought this house in palm filled avenue in new york and then set about making a second fortune because he heard that they were going to make talkies in california and los angeles and he thought this is the thing for me, i know wh

he played politics with america's debt. so did many democrats that day. while they lecture us about irresponsibility, here's what we do know. this is a dangerous, irresponsible charade. democrats are desperate to blame the g.o.p. forthis. when in fact they've created this economic crisis. for two years, our democrat colleagues have known this day was coming. two years. and never even passed a budget. not even -- didn't even try to pass a budget to deal with this. never sat down with republicans. have rammed everything through this house this year. and now even though they have all the votes they need, they're just playing political games. willing to shut down this government. willing to deny disaster aid. willing to harm our economy and working families. so they don't have to raise this debt ceiling. the truth is, they don't want to. they can. they don't want to. they're manufacturing this crisis. have all the votes they need. they're willing to bring this economy to the brink. they've got all the votes they need. all they have to do is include it in reco

but america, being a global leader, the world's moral police, i mean america has such little standing at this stage. people don't believe what the united states says, because america over the course of the last 20 years is arguably, even before that, but really over the course of the last 20 years, has made so many promises. whether deliberately, or implied them, that it quite simply has not stood behind, and especially with these wars that happened in afghanistan, and in iraq, with the rising toll among the civilian casualties, with the apparent disregard that the u.s. does seem to have, when carrying out these wars, when it does come to civilian casualties, no matter what is said at the highest echelons of american power, there is this sense that america is actually not looking out for the interests of humanity as a whole, but quite simply for its own. no matter what the cost is to any other population. >> arwa damon in istanbul, thank you for that. >>> a woman who lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks is sharing her story, she was speaking on the phone as the first plane hit. >> he

much of that is what is happening with latin america. with a case of haiti, one has to understand there is a historical trajectory of racism against haiti. the western world has always been unforgiving for the only slave insurrection of africans in the world. and the only one successful that was able to get a government in region. there has always been that kind of prejudice against haiti, which is something that is unacceptable. these images, to some extent, a show of that. we understand migration is a huge issue for the u.s. in the case of cuba, we have agreements in place from decades ago and the trump administration chose not to comply with them and the biden administration has continued the same approach, not to comply with very migratory agreements we have between the two countries. specifically to avoid the kind of crisis in the case of cuba that you are seeing today in the border of mexico and on occasion in the florida street. those are important agreements. we stand by them. but for them to be able to fulfill the role, there ha

and tighten buy america. crack down a predatory chinese state-owned enter prices which was -- enterprises which was in our bill. the investment in fix it first. and mandatory greenhouse gas reductions. i'll continue to work on i'll continue to work on addressing these issues but the reality is this is the only option with an evenly divided senate and the stupid rules of the senate including the filibuster. so it's this or nothing on the long overdue investment in america's infrastructure. i hope the republicans on the other side will support it. and if they don't, i would like them to tell us exactly what they would do. with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from missouri. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> today's bill is nothing but a trojan horse. it's a facade for opening the door to speaker pelosi's real priority, the $3.5 trillion tax and spend

what america is, you can say is like athens in florida. you have america is the oligarchy, supporting oligarchy, abroad and fighting against democracy, whether it's a democracy in venezuela or china, or cuba or russia, and it's installing dictator, it supports people that have caused democracy. but it turns out to be an jelly, it turns out to be the latin american dictators. it turns out to be the honduran, but there is no reproach. so fight is between america promoting this finance capital idea that other countries have to sell their industry to american buyers. it has to let americans buy control of their industry . so the other countries are karen and kind of financial colony of the united states. the united states has managed america and some other countries against that are countries wanting to become self sufficient, independent for their own food, rely on their own technology and case the economic a surplus rates at home to recycle as industrial countries are supposed to do. so the fight between china and america is a conflict betwe

joining us now is our north america editor. john, president biden is promising a new era of relentless diplomacy. is that reassuring to anxious allies like, for example, boris johnson, who was a bit blindsided by that hasty exit? >> i think what joe biden has said today will bring two cheers if not the full three. i think allies of the u.s. were blindsided and fraly horrified by what happened in afghanistan, by the lack of consultation, and by the fact that any advice it gave was completely ignored. america acted alone and ignored the wishes of others. if there are other areas where joe biden has done things which people like boris johnson will applaud to the rafters like the money they are pledging to tackle climate change, on that score, there is a lot of support for joe biden, but some of the actions that have been taken, and the french are particularly angry over the submarine thing, and again, joe biden is acting alone if not impetuously. >> when it comes to china, president biden did not directly mention china, but he sai

it's about maintaining america's freedoms, america's democracy and america's unity and are all there is not at stake today? you might have you been in america? that's a great question. people vote for you. the majority of the people say we like what you are doing. the republican party is only one one majority in a presidential election in 30 years. if you vote the republican party you are basically anti—american? that is garbage. you may not be a conservative person and it is 0k to be conservative. it's ok to stand up for the unborn if you really believe the unborn needs to be stood up for. it is ok in my view to have differences on all of these issues and i think the reason we are going to do well is becausejoe biden was not the guy people thought they voted for. i thinkjoe biden is a decent man. i have known for 20 years. the agenda coming out of the biden administration is far more radical than people thought. it's transforming america in a way that nobody, i think, at home, really wants. we are going to be not so much because of us, a lot to do with them. and a final question,

so what $911.00 do to america and can america reinvent itself so that it's not chasing goes forever. today we're talking with political scientists in journalist david roth cop, the former editor in chief, a foreign policy magazine, and host of deep state radio, a podcast on american power, and it's global impact. he's the author of running the world, be inside story of national security council and the architects of american power. previously, he managed the international advisory firm, a former secretary of state, henry kissinger, and now he has his own the rop cop group. david, it's great to be with you, and thanks for joining us today. this is a somber time, a moment to sort of reflect on 20 years after one of the most major attacks on the american psyche. let's play a clip from president george w bush on what he said right after 911. the attack took place on american soil. but it was an attack on the heart and soul of the civilized world. and the world has come together to fight a new indifferent war. the 1st, we hope, the only one of the 21st century or against all those who see

we were all reminded that unity is possible in america. we were reminded also that unity is imperative. in america, it is essential to our shared prosperity, to our national security and to our standing in the world. and by unity, i don't mean uniformity. we had differences of opinion and 2001. as we do in 2021 and i believe that in america, our diversity is our strength. at the same time, we saw after 911, how fear can be used to so division in our nation as seek and muslim americans were targeted because of how they looked or how they worshipped. but we also saw what happens when so many americans in the spirit of our nation stand in solidarity with all people and their fellow american with those who experienced violence and discrimination. when we stand together and looking back, we remember the vast majority of americans were unified in purpose, to help families here to help communities recover, to defend our nation and to keep us safe. in a time of our right terror, we turned toward each other. in the face of a stranger, we saw a neig

but at yorktown america does whenen america did come out of the were victorious but i also said america cannot win the war without french assistance they were providing clandestine nineic assistance in 1775 with weaponry including me w —- clothing and weapons and blankets for the americans and then and they could provide even more help and they eventually settle an army and they learned a great deal of money to the americans which wound up costing the french king his head in the 17 nineties because of the fallout from all of those contributes after 1789 so anyway the americans do win the war with french help which i think it is extremely important. >> can we step back to someone you mentioned earlier? as part of your thesis what aspects of his career have they misunderstood and why doesn't he receive credit for georgia and possibly north carolina to redraw the map of america? >> as everybody knows here is another one of sir henry clinton and then to learn of his appointment in may 1778 he was the third british commander and had been there for many years before the war and was recalled

if you want to defend america from the allies, america first is saying if you want to defend america, defend america. hoard america's resources for america first. don't give them to the allies. what i would like to do now is talk about some of the major issues. i won't talk about all of them. there are far too many because this is a widespread and varying debate. but there are certain key themes that i think are central to the debate between these two organizations. the anti interventionists, the america first committee, they basically make the argument that staying out of european wars is america's tradition. this goes all the way back to george washington. the united states should not get itself entangled in european affairs. it certainly shouldn't get involved in european wars. and this is a foreign policy that served america well. it did so for over 100 years, until the united states broke from that tradition in the 1917 and went into europe. that was a mistake and it's a mistake that should not be repeated. we have learned the wisdom of the founders. they were right to stay out o

and so i always had this notion that i wanted to come to america, come to this country so we went to san francisco and then went to new york city and then because of my experience having grown up in south africa in a, it was a nationalist totalitarian police state informed the way i look at what role the government should be and after 9/11 i feel like america's sort of going on a dark path . so being solutions driven i was like out there that forms a solution so new hampshire offered it. new hampshire is not for everyone but i do have jokingly to say people are like it's so cool. then i like it's a little warmer than mars. >> what was it like to grow up in south africa being part of a minority, being part of this apartheidsystem. did it , was it normal to you at the time? >> know, so i have a very unique background. my dad did workfor the apartheid movement . if that's the cross i'm going to have to bear we weren't raised in a racist environment. i was raised in a diplomatic one so i travel a lot at as a child. i've always had this sort of comparison i guess to what life was like in

they do not want the enmity of america. america still has leverage. we are holding that $10000000000.00 are there. they're there. there are an exchange account with a lot of aid is america can turn offer on much of the foreign aid and the attitude of europe towards afghanistan. so we hold some cards, but we have to do that realistically. we're not going to overturn this government. we're not going to shape the government in the future. this is going to be a taliban government. it's been very clear. but we do have some ships to trade with and our big interest is that the policy on not caudal al qaeda as it did in its 1st round. and we know that the, the present head of state mala hunt was a foreign minister in the previous government leading up to 2001. and, and he defended al qaeda and, and we have to make sure that he does not defend archive this time. and all of our efforts should be really focused on making sure that he understands that and he does not do it. and then we will have, you know, if we can accomplish that single fact we will have accomp

in america, america is race upset. so americans assume that race is a factor everywhere and everything. but in this case, it was not really any significant factor. there are always silly people everywhere who want to give. ready novel interpretation to, to, to certain events and to want to interpret 7 very assess self serving ways. the university of syracuse has defended these words, saying that they are a legitimate part of the discourse. some have asked the university to condemn the professor's comments and others have demanded the professor's dismissal. neither of those actions will happen at the home of the maxwell school of citizenship in public affairs. free speech for all people across the political spectrum within the limits of the law and the university's anti harassment policy is one of our key values. speech can be offensive, hurtful, or provocative. still syracuse university will stand by the principles of free speech and by our commitment to keeping our community safe in the face of threats and harassment.

these people threatened america, they carry out attacks against america, the ones that are now going on, the trial is resuming after 500 days. the bottom line is we are still at work. these people have indicated their desire to attack the u.s. they executed attacks and they ought to be held and detained for as long as this process goes on. it will be interesting to see how this goes on, but a trial that lasts 20 years, i can tell you that justice will not be served through this process. i have no idea even for rules apply. these are just bad people. we need to keep them out of the system. they cannot be let free. they will attack us again. >> i want to focus the rest of this discussion on afghanistan and the disastrous withdrawal by president biden. we partnered with the taliban, a terrorist group. we know that the taliban continues to be aligned to al qaeda, that there is an al qaeda presence in afghanistan. we know that al qaeda leaders would taken refuge in pakistan and iran have returned to afghanistan. we know that there is a billion dollars in weapons in afghanistan -- $80 bill
