between the united states, canada, and mexico. show our viewers what robert light hazard -- robert lighthizer had to say at the opening. robert: use of the president about nafta, which i completely share, are well known. i want to be clear that he is not interested in a mere tweaking of the provisions and a couple of updated chapters. we feel that nafta has fundamentally failed many, many americans. here are some of the examples of what i believe needs to change. need to assure that the huge trade deficits do not continue, and we have balance and reciprocity. this should be periodically reviewed. on autos andularly auto parts, must require higher nafta content and substantial u.s. content. country of origin should be verified. the provision should be included in the agreement, and be as strong as possible. the agreement should have protective provisions to guard against currency manipulation. resign, respect our sovereignty and our democratic process. we should have provisions to guard against market-distorting practices of other countries, including third party and state owned. ho

why not go ahead paul. well the united states have to go back to why the united states wants to be in asia at all ok why does the united states intervene ten thousand miles from a chore and to answer that question you have to go back to the open door policy sounds boring but the bedrock foreign policy of the united states is the open door policy and when china closed the door after world war two initially the united states wanted to set up a client regime in china but that failed the communists took over and closed the open door and so the united states decided that career would be its first bastin against the encroachment of china and the closing of asia to american economic penetration ok but i mean let's talk about this the in this new killer thread i mean why don't they want to talk about that that's very important and that's pressing right now can you answer that boris go ahead home well you know the the real the real threat for the united states from the beginning was always china and you know we talk about one hundred sixty thousand troops stationed across the. western pacif

. terrorists around the world should know the united states and our allies are resolved to find you and bring you to justice. and i aremattis grateful for the opportunity the foreignt minister and defense minister of japan today. the bonds america and japan have forged over previous decades will continue to endure. today's honest and productive discussions reaffirmed our mutual commitment to confronting threats to regional peace and security. as you might imagine, we spent a fair amount of time discussing north korea. north korea's recent intercontinental ballistic missile and other missile launches are unacceptable provocations and must stop immediately. we agreed to bolster our alliance capabilities to deter and respond to north korea's and acceptable behavior and other challenges to regional security. in cooperation with other nations, we will continue to economictomatic and pressure to convince north korea to end its illegal nuclear and ballistic missile program. it was clear by the unanimous un security council resolution that was adopted as well as unanimous statements from nations thro

two worlds apart as russia and the united states are turning increasingly confrontational in syria another war torn country may become irony theater for the old rivalry afghanistan has been the geopolitical chess boys for so long is there even a chance for a peaceful resolution to discuss that and now i'm joined by the country's former president hamid karzai mr president it's great to see you in moscow well. now you've long been arguing that the current american approach to afghanistan is not working that it's time for the americans to assess the strategy and perhaps adjust the course and it strikes me as a little bit too naive it's almost like asking the taliban or ourselves for that matter to lay down arms don't you think that you are perhaps in gauging in a wishful thinking i mean what we need to afghanistan we need peace of. and to be need success against terrorism in afghanistan the u.s. goes on in the name of fighting extremism and terrorism fifteen years on do we have also told moral. we have a lot more of it so obviously we have faded there and the casualty is the victim is

cooperation between them and the united states of ganesan as we had initially when we started this campaign now i would like to discuss the recent strides our efforts in in the region diplomacy but before we go there i want to ask you specifically about the united states because. with the trumpet ministration there there were some hopes initially that it may seek a more pragmatic approach given the events of the last few weeks including the the dropping of a largest non atomic bomb and. do you think those hopes of a new beginning of a more pragmatic policy course are they still justified i'm not yet given up on it . president initially the right overtures towards russia. i understood the complexity of international relations and recognize that that without cooperation with russia there would not be much achieved for the united states specially on a place like syria and on the situation in afghanistan. as an afghan and for. i was very hopeful and still do hopeful and look forward to the much needed cooperation between. russia and the united states and here it is the united states th

not attack the united states of a nuclear weapon because that would really be the end of their country. the president's words are about deterring north korea. a history with south korea or the south korean navy vessel. and really to compel china to do more. thet: i do not think rhetoric itself on the president's part. eisenhowermber how handled it, he was careful about his rhetoric and he was very successful managing the crisis. if you hyped the crisis, you can like john f.gs kennedy who made that speech, which would be unacceptable if they did. he thought he had an agreement. he later even said if i had not made that speech, we would not have to do these things in this crisis. even if they are planning to take military action, which i hope they are not, rhetoric like this does not help. you should be speaking softly and not throwing a big stick, as teddy roosevelt used to say. i see no reason for the rhetoric at all. we'll take your calls on the situation. if you want to ask the question -- actionside from military , as far as diplomacy or de-escalation, what is the united sta

up, you would not sign in thetect any united states or globally. there is so much attention now to north korea pay the fact that office, wellin my within artillery range -- we are in the northern part of seoul. it has been some a quiet on campus, but there are no drills. we are not being told how to duck and cover. at this point, there is certainly no outward sign. when you talk people, there is nothing close to panic. in fact, as the started to unfold, initially, in my experience, south koreans were not paying any attention at all. this is different than guam. south koreans have in through this over and over and over. people are sort of thick skinned to this sort of threat and tension rising. yesterday and today, people are paying more attention and there is more concerned. host: pegida cronin, what would typically the military be doing at a time like this? we are not seeing outward signs of reaction, but what is the military up to now? the militaries probably making sure that the flow -- forces on standby to react to a crisis are ready to go. there is probably a good deal of and

been trying to push that nafta has been overall beneficial to the united states. they are going behind washington's back a little bit to show the benefits of this agreement. host: they have gotten groups across the country to be on board. "the financial times" out of london has a headline that there is a warning about renegotiations. david mclennan urges the u.s. to focus on improving the 23-year-old trade deal that he says has been of great benefit to the u.s. and its neighbors, canada and mexico. you have associations having an event. let me show you what these agricultural representatives had to say about nafta. >> our stand is that we do no harm. this has been a good trade treaty for north american agriculture, from mexico to canada. we want to make sure we have our voice heard loud and he -- and clear, that we do not want to harm the gains we have had. the president of the united states is my president, and president of all the farmers and ranchers across this country who played a major role in getting him elected. he promised not only to make trade treaties more fair for a

new situation in both china and russia are important to the united states and global affairs. since mr. nixon was president of the united states and opened relations again with china rather infamously, we have had the collapse of communism in eastern europe, we have had uprisings in tiananmen square of course. we have had the collapse of the soviet union in 1991. we have had a. o period of weak russia in the 1990's as it was struggling after 70 years of communism and the sudden collapse of communism. we have 15 successive states as a result come including russia. forging global relationships and partnerships. began a rather dramatic recovery economically. came into office and has proclaimed that russia is once again a great power, a power to be reckoned with. russia seized -- from their perspective, took back crimea. it had been sanctioned as a , thet by the united states european union but not by china. in the intervening period, 2014 and 2016, china and russia signed agreement on russian oils to china. counterbalance to american power. states beganunited europe too asia from count

that the united states is a nation of immigrants, right? so how do we reconcile this great immigration debate that's going on today and then this idea that we are a nation of immigrants? i think one of the way also that we can think about this complicate it history of immigration is through looking at immigration through angel island. we know that not all immigrants were welcomed into the country, not all immigrants were able to achieve their american dreams, but rather we picked and sifted and chose which immigrants to let in and which immigrants to let out. to keep out. many times this really was dependent upon an immigrant's race, ethnicity, gender, class, this idea of who was fit to become a citizen and who was not. this is the history that is best exemplified through immigration through angel island. this is in the san francisco bay. it is that other island, not alcatraz, but it is the other island in the san francisco bay that is now california state park. so the immigration station on angel island was open from 1910 to 1940. you primarily think about it as an entry p

united states convinced russia and china to sign on with that latest round of sanctions. we also know that secretary of state rex tillerson had an hour-long phone call with president trump yesterday along with the president's new chief of staff. they discussed the threat in north korea and it came as secretary tillerson was traveling in asia, talking about this very issue, trying to press leaders there to choke off north korea and to further isolate it. will those leaders listen? how much action will they take? that remains an unanswered question at this hour. the only thing we have heard from president trump since we got this latest news regarding north korea and its ramping up its nuclear program was this tweet, ali, which says "e-mail show that the amazon "washington post" and the failing "new york times" were reluctant to cover the clinton/lynch secret meeting in plane." of course that's a reference to former president bill clinton having that meeting impromptu on the plane with former attorney general loretta lynch. she later said that that was a mistake on her part to do it, par

article of confederation. three of the most important events in the history of the united states took place in this room. in that nine month period between november 1973 and august of 1784. amazingly we're standing in the third state house on this particular site. the origin nam state house was built in 1690s when the capitol moved. that first state house was hit by lightning in 1704. burned to the fwround and was replaced by state house finished in 1707. that building remained the primary state house until the 1760s. when 1769 legislation passed to build this house. on the present site. construction began in 1772 and completed in 1779. the current state house stands on the high etc. point in annapolis. and the surrounding landscape. this would have been the tallest building in town. it is still the tallest building in town. the state house was built in the middle of the war. which complicated efforts to build the state house and direct the government. the first session of the general assembly was held in november of 1779. every session of the general assembly has been held in this bu

united states but to the world is very, tes. car.edta it but with our allies and all responsible nations. this is what you have seen the president do is bring together, all nations. all nations to bear on this problem. and, i think notably, you had the u.n. security council resolution, 15-0 this past week. great work by our secretary of state, rex tillerson and our ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley. our interests are aligned with all responsible nations. and it's time for all nations including china, russia. as well as our close allies, japan and south korea to work together toward a common goal. of denuclearizing the korean peninsula. >> what do you say to the cricss rhetoric was just too hot this week? he went too far? >> well, the president made clear, he made clear hat the united states will not taterol threatened by this rogue regime. there's a much greater danger if there were to be ambiguity. in connection with the kind of response thaton i jim cung- he the united states or our allies. >> there did seem to be am big guyty in the president's statement. he said they would

so much going on right now unfortunately particularly the united states it's overshadowed by what i call fake news i want to do real news on this program here joe your thoughts were how is the middle east changing go ahead it's very easy to get lost in all the details like this so friendly complex particularly in syria i think the overall if you're looking for a really big picture you have to look at us iranian relations i mean that in the subtext of that saudi iranian relations and below that the standoff between saudi arabia bahrain egypt against qatar which i think could be a prelude to a conflict with iraq. but trying to bring qatar into their own capital to see camp they were too close to iran so i think that conflict again between syria and iran it's a serious years in between saudi arabia and iran overshadows the entire region their sectarian proxy wars their conflict has to be brought to an end and some kind of an accommodation between these two regional powers they're not going anywhere there has to be a balance of power there the united states if it wanted to be a great po

-pressed, much as in the united states, to still find in the homes of latin americans, a portrait of john kennedy. jimmy carter, numero uno, perceived as a saint in latin america. he pushed through the panama canal treaty. bill clinton. free trade between the united states and mexico. also he initiated a plan was colombia that basically rescued colombia. most americans don't know we have been giving money to colombia every year since 1999 and that has transformed the country into a peaceful and prosperous place. barack obama, wildly popular in latin america. free-trade agreements with places like peru and panama. respected for normalizing relations with cuba. obama perhaps received the highest honor a u.s. leader could receive in latin america. he was at a state dinner in 2008 in in buenos aires, and the world's best tango dancer asked him to dance. the president did do very well. to be sure, not all latin americans would want to dance with democratic presidents. mexicans would denounce woodrow wilson for dispatching general pershing in 1916 into mexico trying to chase down pancho vi

reactions to in south korea in the united states and the actions of the south koreans and the americans because of the north korea ok but one of the interesting things here is that why doesn't if there's such great tension in this inevitability of conflict why don't the two sides just sit down and talk because the americans refused to do that why not go ahead paul. well the united states have to go back to why the united states wants to be in asia at all ok why does the united states intervene ten thousand miles from mature and to answer that question you have to go back to the open door policy sounds boring but the bedrock foreign policy of the united states is the open door policy and when china closed the door after world war two initially the united states wanted to set up a client regime in china but that failed the communists took over and closed the open door and so the united states decided that career would be its first bastin against the encroachment of china and the closing of asia to american economic penetration ok but i mean let's talk about this need to make this new kill

in the united states may have contributed to the increase in violence warning though the report does contain graphic images. as to countering peaceful protests here on saturday in charlottesville virginia really had their chance of staying. peaceful given how high tensions are currently in the united states as the opposing demonstrators throughout the city clashes quickly broke out. here on the street. down into the protesters reversed again through that injuring one thousand people and killing. more are still in critical condition the driver of the car fled the scene but he has of course since been arrested and identified as twenty year old james fields. he's being charged with second degree murder that attack is being characterized as terrorism by many people here where terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was present afterward the attack did condemning the violence there egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many shirts politicians on both sides of the political spectrum slammed the president for not taking a st

and a ludicrous pretend for his hate campaign this president does not care about the united states of america so in these kind of circumstances under so much pressure it is little surprise that donald trump is giving in to the congress and you might argue that this really puts america on the brink of a constitutional crisis. well wednesday donald trump reluctantly purse his signature to the anti russia sanctions bill despite claiming its florida and contains unconstitutional provisions while i favor tough measures to punish and deter aggressive and destabilizing behavior by iran north korea and russia this legislation is significantly flawed its haste to pass the legislation the congress included a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions. a number of provisions to displace the president's exclusive constitutional authority and those comments live a lot of questions in their way the president states that even though he sees the legislation as unconstitutional he signed off on it as president trump swore an oath to preserve protect and defend the constitution of the united states

a certain extent what a lot of people don't understand about slavery in the united states it is an institution that last a long time from when the fed -- the spanish first arrived from 1865 and then became very rationalized if you enslaved the black person if you could prove you were free with your freedom papers but it was completed to be black or african descent. also we have the largest institution of slavery even more the latin-american or caribbean could it not time for there 4 million slaves on the ground so these are the things that make bad institution in the history of slavery unique in the united states. >> why africa?. >> it began in the americas with those discoveries of africa so when we had the portuguese arriving on the west coast and beginning trade relations when they arrived in their own society or their own government so the first thing they would trade were slaves because there were very few. so they were looking for riches and exotics like ivory or gold or spices initially that is the was traded between europe. but also they began to discover the americas is a

the day is threat. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. >> he probably didn't mean to say threats. they threaten all of the time. >> they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never veseen. >> the united states knows we will not launch a preevenp premptive attack. >> general james mattis just issued a stern warning to north korea. they should cease any actions that would lead to the end of their regime on the destruction of their people. and they're on the same team, but are they on the same page? rex tillerson offering an alternative take on the president's unprecedented comments. >> i think he just want today be clear to the north korean regime that the u.s. and their ability to and willingness to defend itself, and i think it was important he deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their pair. kelly o'donnell is in bridgewater. the first question that a lot of people had was "is it off of the cu cuff?" members of congress surprised by it, what have we learned since then? >> there has been an attempt to give us more insight into

. lincoln believes, first of all, that the founders constructed the united states constitution to be an anti-slavery document. not that the constitution abolished slavery, but that the constitution created a system and represented the intentions of founders who believed they had put slavery on the road to extinction. it would happen fwraj gradually. it would happen painlessly. but it would happen. it would be inevitable. the second thing is that lincoln believes that by confining slavery to the southern states, slavery will turn out to be a system which uses up its own oxygen. that the kind of agriculture that slavery represents will as tobacco did in the 18th century wear out the soil, wear out the economy and finally become uneconomical and the moment it becomes uneconomical, then slavery will come to an end. it will do it on its own. no one needs to behave like fwarsen and t garrison and the abolitionists. nobody needs to push hard on the slave states and alienate and anger them. it's simply a process and we're just going to let this process doesn't feel any need to take active measu

the united states and russia since congress has the latest round of sanctions and north korea threatens the united states mainland with a nuclear strike as u.n. unanimously votes to sanction the country and vice president mike pence categorically denies claims by the new york times he will run for president in two thousand and twenty i met charles reporting tonight from the r. t. do is room this is the news on r t america. good evening france we start tonight with a high level meeting between two diplomats from the united states and russia secretary of state rex tillerson met with russian foreign minister surgery lever off during a meeting of the association of southeast asian nations over the weekend the meeting was the first since congress passed a new set of sanctions against russia rex tillerson criticized the damage done to us russian relations why alleged russian hacking into the two thousand and sixteen elections in the elections was certainly a serious incident we talked about it in the discussion we had with mr la roche yesterday and trying to help them understand jus

. hosted this event. it is just under an hour. >> after the united states entered world war i women as well as men eagerly volunteered to serve their country. although women were prohibited from joining the regular army or navy, they found ways to contribute, often taking jobs once performed by men, now going overseas. one group of women, however, possessed a skill much needed by the army. fighting a war required reliable communications network, but more than two-and-a-half years of war had devastated the french telephone system. general john j.pershing called upon the expertise of women telephone operators. more than 1700 women applied and just over 200 served in europe with the army. their service is documented in their official personnel files, now in the national archives at st. louis, a collection of archival civilian personnel records. yes, that's civilian personnel records. after the war, these women, because they were women, were not deemed eligible for military benefits despite their army service. it was until the 1970s before they finally received the benefits due them as the

united states i am his biggest fan. i have spent many years in the national archives, bent over a desk, hunched, you know, creating books out of the wonderful treasures that our archives contain. and they're treasures that are so important not only because they're collecting all of the things that we know are important, but they collect everything. the things that we don't know are important, and we don't know them sometimes yet because it takes historians 100 years later to say, "that's what is important, in the long run of time that was the thing we need to know about." unless the archivists are in a daily way collecting and preserving these records for decades if not centuries, you know, we won't have that opportunity. so the book i'm going to tell you about -- i'm always selling books, it is a three for one because it tells you something about world war i. why we were in that war? how did we fight it in the way that we did? what was the significance of it? it is also a book that talks about another subject that came at the same time historically, which is the vote for women. so why

relationship is between iran and the united states. >> the united states has a hostile policy towards iran for sometime and this administration is pursuing a more hostile policy. it's a misguided policy i think the allegations against iran are tired and don't stand any test in reality. and i think it would be best for the united states, the u.s. should just look for its achievements, quote/unquote in our region and see what it has achieved. maybe all the wrong choices. its allies are accusing each other supporting terrorism. i believe the united states needs to take a fresh look at the situation in our region and see where its interests are, how it's dealing with important issues of stability and insecurity in our region and decide for itself where it wants to stand. >> rose: as you know in the conference or the summit, saudi arabia and some of the arab state allies asked the united states to join them in isolating iran. they believe you're engaged in these activities that the united states suggests you are as well. >> i just want to ask you who are behind the 9/11 terrorists attacks.

in the oval office. i bring greetings from the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. now, thanks to the support of so many young conservatives like all of you here today across this country, last november, president trump won a historic victory. more counties than any president since ronald reagan. 30 of 56 states. the truth is, with your support, president donald trump turned the blue wall red. i came here tonight to pay a debt of gratitude to all of you who helped elect the president who is fighting every day. fighting every day for the values and ideals that unite us and fighting every day to keep the promises he made to the american people. for my part, it's a privilege to be back at the young america's foundation. i worked hand-in-hand with yaf going back more than 15 years. not from when that picture was taken, but when i first arrived in congress in 2001. in 2005, my family had the great privilege to visit the reagan ranch where yaf has wonderfully preserved the wisdom and legacy of my second favorite president of the united states, pre
