of defense james madison and the vice president of the united states michael pence. [applause] ... >> it is a pleasure to have you back here at the pentagon today and it is with a great deal of gratitude on many issues but specifically this issue for your leadership and what you've done to remove any obstacles in our path as only a vice president can do. space is one of our vital national interests in the sense of our use of space, our operations in space, and it is becoming a contested war-fighting do main, and we have got to adapt to that reality. it is on par with the air, land, sea and cyberspace domains in terms of it being contested, and it's now a domain in which we must be equally prepared as all of those other domains, it is no longer a new domain, it is a domain, and we have got to be able to compete to deter and to win. and following your remarks, mr. vice president, the department of defense will release our space report to congress reinforcing the specifics on how we're going to carry this forward, and that report reflects a clear-eyed view of the future the depar

states almost entirely since the wto was created in 1995, the united totes by and large adhered the rules of the wto, which meant that when we had concerns about imports, we either imposed countervailing duties, which are anti-subsidy remedies where the notion is it is not considered legal to trade in goods that are subsidized. the idea that you are not asking u.s. producers to compete with the governments of every country around the world. imports are subsidized. you can take a countervailing duty action that will put an additional tariff on those goods and make up for the percentage of production that was a government subsidy. if the government gives a subsidy that values 10% of the goods, you can put a 10% countervailing duty on it. we also used to bring a lot of actions under the anti-dumping rule. cannot is the notion you sell something in the united states for less than you sell it at home. if you sell your ton of hot rolled sheet steel at home, you cannot sell it for less in the united states. that is considered dumping. we would add an additional duty on to those goods. for

pressure on the saudi led coalition and others including the united states and the united kingdom will get back to that in the second to bring an end to the fighting in yemen he certainly did not need me names he said that the international community had to stop providing weapons to do is engage in the conflict in yemen not naming names means not mentioning go around who we know are supplying them with us and not mentioning the united states and the united kingdom who are backing the saudi led coalition and it'll be interesting in a couple of hours james mattis who is the u.s. defense secretary has a very real briefing at the pentagon on camera and me will be asked about what is going on here but i says i think there are those who know that this report will put pressure on everyone to try and bring an end to the fighting but also pressure on both sides as you look ahead to u.n. sponsored peace talks about yemen starting on september the six all right let's. thank you for that update from djibouti and i will take all of this on with that mohamed jamal he's a columnist an editor wit

united states as a continental place. reconstruction only apply to certain states. i want to revisit themes we have explored this semester and i want to move beyond the sites of battle because when we do this you actually have continuities. last week i talked about changes. today i want to talk about continuities and changes. continuity that we had in place in the 19th century and changes that became the civil war and after the civil war and were not caused entirely by it. i want to move far from the places that most of the battles were fought. i want to move to the northern plains. that me ask you a question. the list time we talked about the northern plains, when was it, what was going on there? what do you remember? anyone? , one. yes. front row.>> it had moved westward. >> absolutely.>> what was the impact of the lewis and clark expedition on the people who lived in the planes? >> the long-term impact is limited. lewis and clark and the people come and go but the system of power and settlement did not change. what else? anybody else? you don't want the microphone in front

union, self-governing, federal authorities prevailed throughout the united states. as i mentioned last week, reconstruction or more specifically the reconstruction amendments to the u.s. constitution, seemed to have redefined what it meant to be american. what it meant to be a u.s. citizen. that's a really convenient way of thinking about it. that the civil war and reconstruction constitute the logical halfway point to u.s. history and is kind of a fulcrum. there's the before the civil war and after the civil war. and if you're a civil war historian, believe me, it's like all before the civil war, and after the civil war. here's the way we tend to talk about it. there's a notion that there was a u.s. before the civil war, you probably took places where the civil war is put right in the middle. it would be a logical point to for example schedule a mid term exam. and in fact at many universities where the u.s. history surveys is two semesters, that first semester ends in 1865 or 1876 or 1877. don't get me wrong, the civil war and reconstruction were important, they changed things, t

you so much thank you thank you more tributes and the united states this time to a political giant the body of the late u.s. senate said john mccain has been brought to the capitol rotunda in washington to lie in state members of congress attended a ceremony to honor the man who served in the u.s. congress for more than forty years senator john mccain died from cancer at age eighty one a full funeral service will be held in washington on saturday former u.s. president barack obama and george w. bush i do to speak. w. correspondent my schweitzer on capitol hill told us more about the tributes. yeah there's definitely a spirit of bipartisanship that's permeating of the atmosphere of this funeral in a way that really hasn't been seen in washington for a couple of years all get in the spirit of bipartisanship is really being hammered home he's being lionized as one of the the last great people who is able to sort of reach across the aisle and work with people who are not in his party there's a lot of talk of he put country above party is something that a lot of people who have spoken about

have to take into account the fact that the united states has not abided by its side of the bargain in the nuclear deal. when the iranians signed on to the nuclear deal, and gave significant concessions, they did this in order to ease tensions and to prevent the united states from continuing to have an excuse against iran and the americans were supposed to abide by their side of the bargain, and they didn't. under 0bama, they didn't. the united states in violation of the nuclear deal, they imposed new sanctions. the treasury imposed sanctions. the treasury imposed sanctions on companies and individuals. and new laws were passed by congress. the visa restrictions laws as well as the renewal of the iran sanctions act. all of these were in violation of the nuclear deal. in fa ct, violation of the nuclear deal. in fact, iranians, despite the fact they signed on to the agreement, weren't able to send money out of the banks nor bring in money. you've chosen in that answer to direct much of your response to lord donald trump and his policies towards iran, but i can't help but notice, looki

it such a big deal politically the democratic party in the united states gets their power on dividing people and separating us versus them there's class warfare gender warfare they want to show that everybody's got a reason for injustice and they need to vote democrat to war in order to fix it and that's all this is it's just it's pure politics. and hillary hillary clinton got millions more votes than donald trump did and her campaign theme was being together not dividing people she wasn't. marking here the care people she wasn't telling punch him in the drawer at all pay your legal bills that's not what her fear was thirteen was about bringing people together and she got millions or those that john i'm sorry is the voters actually disagree with you. a palestinian journalist has been arrested by the israeli defense forces for filming soldiers and allegedly inciting violence alley darley live streamed two videos on facebook of israeli soldiers operating in ramallah filming i.d.f. soldiers is illegal in israel filming an officer with the intent of undermining the spirit of the

decades of pretty much tied themselves to the united states and have very limited options and they're not very happy about it is this a crisis of ideology and values now not just policy issues. in oxford i think it's a mixture of that it's a crisis of early as well as a big difference disagreement about what is important and what should be principles between paris on one side and washington on the other shore so it's also about how people's in many ways the atlantic alliance from the late forty's on which was one in which the united states was the two main economic price for security and geopolitical advantage and so the marshall plan which meant that there were certain trade imbalances that were valued. they were going west european economies and initially it expensive states but overall everybody benefited now trump is saying it has to be a cost benefit analysis on the bases and putting america first means america has to come out on top and that of course is cools the serious problems to european industry and finance in general because some sort of spend most of the works at all since t

are they allies but putting that aside do you think the united states needs to be taught a lesson here that's essentially the question i'm trying to ask you do you think the european union needs to take a moral stance in this on this particular issue to show the united states the trumpet ministration in this in this example that this is not ok to conduct international politics policies like that i mean american i'm an american former official i'm not going to call on europe or anyone else to teach the united states a lesson i think europe has got a very very hard set of decisions to make where they'll need to decide the need to weigh problems in the transatlantic relationship against their real concerns their national security concerns about the resumption of iranian unconstrained nuclear program and i'm sympathetic to how difficult those decisions are going to be as i started out by saying from the u.s. perspective there are only bad answers here either you've got europe essentially isolating us because they find a way to save the deal or you've got europe failing to save the dea

you know thousands of pages of credible kling's have been sent to the united states to extra's it the leader of the defector organization the fatal bug you lent which is hosted in pennsylvania but the united states remains reluctant all these all these demands from the turkish side so when. we see that the tramp and some of his men they have been they began to use a tretton ink insulting and on fortunately unilateral aggressive language towards the the turkish administration which created the consolidation of a kind of national unity against the united states and it with a high anti-americanism in turkey you know just yesterday and today the leader of the leaders of the opposition party even. made some declarations made some act explanations against trump tweets and this unilateral and aggressive language policy discourse from the american side so unfortunately we just try to mask the real issues by considering this bronston issue as one of the main focal points between the two countries so. can you not read united says the american side has been hijacking the issue it unfortunate

tariffs in the united states in trade enforcement was none other than alexander hamilton, who has been in the news for other reasons. but tariffs are as old as our country. and they were the primary mechanism of trade policies that we've had for almost all of our nation's history. you've seen an emphasis on free trade agreements certainly in the four administrations prior to the trump administration, both obama, clinton, and both bush administrations emphasize trade expansion and free trade agreements, but trade enforcement has been sprinkled within each administration and if you go back to the reagan administration, you would hear something along the lines of the rhetoric that you hear today, where japan, if you want to sell any cars in this country, you are going to have to make them here, otherwise we're going to shut off japanese imports. that's what president reagan said or semi conductors we will put 100% tariff on semiconductors unless you also open your market, but it's something that the latest generation of both i think political figures and journalists are struggling to

europeans after all these decades have pretty much tied themselves to the united states and have very limited options and they're not very happy about it is this a crisis of ideology and values now not just policy issues mark in oxford but i think it's a mixture of that it's a crisis of early as well as a big disagreement about what is important and what should be principles between paris on one side and more on the other shore so it's also about valuables in many ways the atlantic alliance from the late forty's on which was one in which the united states was to create an economic price for security and geopolitical advantage and so the marshall plan which meant that the worst trade imbalance was a. stupid economies and initially it expanded our states but overall everybody benefited now trump is saying it has to be a cost benefit analysis on that basis and putting america first needs america to come out on top and of course in schools the serious problems to european interest . for votes in general because. most of the works in all sorts directions the room do so actions on russia an

disagreement within the halls of power in the united states as we head up to the midterm congressional elections. meanwhile the russian embassy in the u.s. has accused the local authorities of subjecting jailed russian gun activist to cruel and inhumane treatment including strip searches is under arrest on charges of being a russian agent which was quickly interpreted by much of the western media as being a spy russia's compared the situation to the witch trials of the seventeenth century well after russian diplomats visited maria in prison on the day they did discover her health deteriorated they are demanding the u.s. state department stop psychologically pressuring and humiliating her and she's still a suspect not a convict so let's get more details now from samir who's in washington for a samir just tell us a bit more then in terms of what other information that's come out over this case. oh well for some background maria buthe now was taken into custody about a month ago cues to acting as a russian agent and quote developing relations with u.s. persons and infiltrating organizatio

deliberate. the russian ruble has tumbled to its lowest point in two years after the united states impose new sanctions over a chemical weapons attack on a former russian double agent the kremlin has rejected the sanctions as illegal and says it's begun working on retaliatory measures. reports from moscow. well the kremlin response is that this is categorically unacceptable illegal under international law they say they've claimed again that they had nothing to do with the poisoning of the script and that these new sanctions are essentially inconsistent with the atmosphere of corporation that they felt they got from donald trump of the helsinki summit with running with putin some weeks ago now or they're saying that washington is an unpredictable actor on the international stage and they don't know yet what they're going to do to respond because the kremlin says it doesn't have enough information about what these u.s. sanctions actually are. however this is in concert with another package of sanctions that looks to be shaping up in washington d.c. has rattles russian markets the ruble has

member country and it is doing that the united states is doing that in the framework of the so-called magnitsky just you know these two. ministers sort in mind sort of the interior and the bill coming to good of the justice they are basically sanction they are attacked in the framework of that needs to be used why because of that or that parson from the united states who basically has been living in turkey for twenty or twenty three years who hasn't been doing anything in the united states but if you tell me about it's about freedom of religion i'm sort of i don't mean i've you know. absolutely agree with diem it has nothing to do about freedom of conscience and religion here it's really about changing the behavior of the ones regime this is a lot about iraq and it's a lot about syria and then and russia in the interesting thing is that the european union they will they will buckle and they will take a knee the turks are not going to take a knee and we're going to find this out fast and hard in november because they're not going to respect the sanctions imposed upon them by the united

medicines are coming from. for many of us growing up, our medicines were made here in the united states and europe and japan, but now there has been a dramatic shift eastward. i wrote for my mother so my mother could read it, but also for policy wonks and academics because i think we all need access to this information. we want to trust the medicines we take. those medicines that can mean the difference between life and death. we need to know where do our medicines come from? why are we dependent increasingly on a single country? one of the risks and what can we do about it. i was going to bring my smart phone and my medicine bottles. one of the questions i get asked the most is how come i didn't know about this. how come i didn't know that there is growing dependence of the united states on china for so many of our medicines. if you take a look at your smart phone and you look on the back, at least mine says designed in california and assembled in china. if you've ever gotten those amber colored plastic bottles with white caps that tells you how to take your medicine, what the doses, but i

melissa southeasts about asian migration to the united states and post-vietnam war refugees. she examined how laws and public opinion have changed over the past five decades and emphasizes the difference between immigrants and refugees. her classes about one hour. today we will talk about topic 18, southeast asian refugee migration. if you have been following the news in recent years, i imagine that you, like me, have found it difficult to ignore the toffee -- topic of refugees. refugeean image of a fleeing communist vietnam in 1975. it reminds us of images that we might see on the news today. hard to ignore the human stories, families perishing at sea. refugees are suffocating in meat ontos, they are crowding leaky boats, they are drowning the bodies of those who are unable to cross to safety and they are washing up on mediterranean beaches. have been in the news for the past few years, particularly related to the crisis in syria. it are being uprooted by conflict all around the world. about not just talking refugees coming from syria, but other war-torn regions. past couple ofh

of our team and public safety. the border, mr. chair, that we share with the united states is the most successful international boundary in the history of the world. it is a source of great trust very for both our country's, the 400,000 people thousand people and $2.5 billion in trade crossing in both directions every day. and this immense flow of trade and travel happens at the same time as security, of course remaining our top priority when it comes to border management. from the very beginning of the asylum seeker issue about 18 months ago the government of canada has repeatedly emphasized two primary objectives. make sure all canadian laws are enforced and make sure all of canada's international obligations are honored. we have met those imperatives, mr. chair without fail and we will continue to do so ensuring public safety and national security. [speaking french] >> we can thank while officers and border security officers. they're the ones ones who apply canadian law and ensuring that we meet our international obligations. for then as well as our government, our security is

donald trump had a poster board showing the weapons that the united states were currently selling to saudi arabia as well so what happens next well both every government that was mentioned in the report got an advance copy of it so far i've seen no response from anyone as yet i'm sure we'll get the usual words from the governments that they are looking in to what is being said but if you add this to the report that came out just twenty four hours ago on monday you remember human rights watch said that the saudi led coalition was not serious when it started to investigate allegations of war crimes and said that it was controlling those investigations and more often than not those investigations were essentially a whitewash of what actually happened so the international pressure is growing and it will be interesting to see how jim that is the u.s. defense secretary react in a couple of verses you to give a briefing at the pentagon and undoubtedly they'll be asked about continuing u.s. support when a united nations panel and remember the u.s. government of the on terribly well with the

tariffs in the united states was none other than alexander hamilton, who is been in the news for other reasons. but tariffs are as old as our country. they were the primary mechanism of trade policy that we have had for almost all of our nations history. you have seen an emphasis on free trade agreements, certainly in the four administrations prior to trump. both obama, clinton, and both bush administrations emphasized trade expansion and free-trade. but trade enforcement has been sprinkled within each administration. reagan,ou go back to you would hear something along the lines of the rhetoric you here today. if you want to sell any cars, you will have to make them here that is what president reagan said. we will put ars, 100% tariff on semi conductors here. you make them it is something the latest generation of political figures and journalists are struggling to find context with, because it has been so out of fashion for such a long time. and the type of trade enforcement that does occur occurs under the radar. there are a couple of mechanisms that are available in u.s. law right no

standard time. we have cleared the tower. >> towers are cleared. 13 seconds. the united states was undertaken the most distant voyage ever attempted by man. for the first time, three americans rode the saturn 5 moon rocket. >> we hear you loud and clear, apollo 8. >> the first stage is very smooth and this one is smoother. >> apollo 8 houston, your trajectory and guidance are go, over. >> thank you, michael. >> you looking real good. >> frank warmen, jim lovely and bill anders were about to leave their cradle earth and face the infinite frontier. >> apollo 8, houston. >> go ahead. >> you are go for tli, over. >> roger. we're go for tli. >> tli, translunar insertion. this was the commitment, they were ready for the maneuver that would send them to the moon. as the world listened and watched, its people were overtaken by a new awareness, an awareness that they were perhaps witnessing the overture to the ultimate destiny of man. >> ignition. >> lovell confirms ignition. >> on board the spacecraft and in mission control, the men of apollo 8 watched the readouts, velocity build up in fe

globally so the same policy of extreme tax cuts the trump was posed to go in the united states that we've we've had in this country for for very long time it's called neo liberalism they apply so you have or this called an underclass people working for. temporary visas for low wages this is become the pattern and all rich countries it's the kind of. darwinian economics but those who society those who've got it through really will those in the middle who aspire to do well are usually in debt and those in the bottom up to scotland and yet of course while as you say these two thirds have been suffering since twenty eight or even before then there is money for wars what was your reaction when you first heard of the anglo american french missile attacks on syria it's built on a series of i would call them laws fabrications. the calculus akhil in duma resume clearly said this is why britain has to go in and fight and i think it makes the regime they says is to be believed frankly and she's yet to convince us that she has a right to be believed because. almost everything to do with foreign polic

deal for japan and the united states. japanese companies have been paying the steel and aluminum tariffs. this has been a day of deals. the mexican economic minister says we are as close as possible to a deal on this. one big issue still, the sun set clause. >> we arranged [inaudible] we have proposals coming back and forth. report are says language was going back and forth even past midnight last night to try and get this deal done. they would like to have at least auto part of the nafta deal done by tomorrow evening. the mexican trade minister is still in town. once they get a deal with mexico, they canning prit to canada. the president said he wouldn't mind a bilateral deal, but he would prefer nafta. adam: is it the kind of thing they can negotiate around or is the united states absolute on this? >> on the sunset portion mexico is saying any point, either canada other u.s., can pull out of nafta. so saying sun set clouds is redundant. mexico is offering a reassessment of the numbers in five years. we'll see what happens. that is the last deal to be worked out as we understand

foreign policy person that trump has turned to in in the united states has been henry kissinger henry kissinger the former secretary of state to nixon who brokered the u.s. opening to china is someone who takes we know what kissinger's views are and we know that trump has met with him from during the campaign in two thousand and sixteen throughout his presidency and that view is one that looks at strong states assesses whether those states are strong where the those governments are strong and whether u.s. president can actually work with the person in charge of those states so here in washington that's often derided how trying to trump implements that is that trump somehow just likes dictators but he doesn't like all dictators he's looking at leaders who are strong and who he either can or needs to work with and then he seems to try to set up these rhetorical poses to put himself in a position to be able to strike some sort of deal with those leaders and work with those states so i think if you take a sober analysis of what trump is doing and admittedly that's difficult to do i think

the middle east should the united states be sent a similar signal that this is not the kind of behavior that its european allies welcome on the international arena. leaders around the world including from our closest allies have condemned this decision and the very fact that europe has now shifted from negotiating with the united states to negotiating with iran is a strong rebuke to the decision that president trump made i would i describe president obama's leadership on sanctions with iran with russia with other countries a little bit differently from what you did i don't think it's a question about germany making a moral stand or a value judgment what i would say is that we were able to convince countries around the world that on a variety of problems we had a plan and a way forward and that if countries were willing to suffer a certain amount of economic dislocation in the short term we can solve real problems and so in the iran case we were able to convince the government of russia china india as well as our closest allies to stick with us and we got to the g.c. . and some

the united states and the shah was in store that was when the pillar was reinforced but the pillar collapsed in one nine hundred seventy nine with the revolution in iran and that has never been forgiven getting or wrong the major ambition of the above and that's why we're coming into a very dangerous period when trump mosse ratify the agreement that a bomb assigned. with iran along with. the e.u. under which iran committed to its self as it frankly always had committed itself to a peaceful nuclear program in return sanctions would drop and so on we have dangers you know the dangers that the presented to us that is so unnecessary why why are we. why we threatening countries like iran which hasn't invaded anyone for about four hundred years but don't threaten us why is anachronism like israel allowed to have it seem punitive. why do we why do we believe these why do as you describe why do we journalists write down what governments tell us why don't they question them don't they it's just a few years ago but exactly that was as terrible mistakes happened in two thousand and two two th

the entire family back from china and now here in the united states what's happening in china and like one of the dynamics there they're shifted and how does the u.s. stack up in the global economy well the u.s. is an interesting point since trump has been elected the but the corporate tax rates going down from world high is down to you know twenty one percent there's a lot of opportunity now for the reindustrialization united states so after twenty years spent in china setting up plants in china i know come back to united states and hopefully try to help rebuild make america great again to rebuild the rebuilt part of the economy that's not just rhetoric there's actual economic data to support this type of rate balancing on the global economy and china of course the story there seems to have played out to some degree the talk a little bit about china because we always talked about china you know they were part of the world trade organization and benefited wildly from that because no you know wasn't long ago they were an emerging economy but they're still kind of gaming the system

sanctions against another nico member country and it is doing that the united states is doing that in the framework of the so-called needs to just you know these two. ministers sort in mind sort of the interior and double whammy good of the justice they are basically sanctions they are attacked in the framework of the magnets can be used why because of that or that parson from the united states who basically has been living in turkey for twenty or twenty three years who hasn't been doing anything in the united states but if you tell me about it's about freedom of religion i'm sore and i don't mean i you know. i absolutely agree with diem it has nothing to do about freedom of conscience and religion here it's really about changing the behavior of the ones regime this is a lot about iran and it's a lot about syria and then and russia and in the interesting thing is that the european union they will they will buckle and they will take a knee the turks are not going to take a knee and we're going to find this out fast and hard in november because they're not going to respect the sancti

exiled her to the united states. but in america, ayaan founded her own foundation and has worked at various think tanks, including the hoover institution, on whose board of overseers i sit. her focus is on protecting the rights of women and girls from honor violence, specifically against the practice of female genital mutilation. her criticisms mistakenly landed her on the southern poverty law center's list of anti-muslim extremists, which was removed from their website earlier this year. ayaan, thank you for joining me here on "firing line." and it's truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to talk about a new report that your foundation has released, the aha foundation, which stands for your initials, ayaan hirsi ali foundation. and it is entitled "why we hesitate to protect girls from female genital mutilation in the united states." do we hesitate to protect girls from fgm in the united states? >> yes, we do hesitate to protect women and little girls from female genital mutilation. i think we have to say what it is so that viewers understand that we are talking about the removal

speech against throwing the muslims on its. now the united states and mexico greet a new bilateral trade deal that replaces the us mexico terms agreed in the north american free trade agreement known as snuffed or told trump says he hopes canada will join the deal the canadian foreign affairs minister is jew in the u.s. on choose different trade talks a white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has more. frequently accusing the news media of not reporting on his accomplishments u.s. president donald trump brought reporters into the oval office well to listen in real time to a phone call with mexico's president. where you good morning thank you enrique congratulations together the two leaders jointly announce their breakthrough bilateral deal changing parts of the north american free trade agreement that trump says hurts us worker i like to call this deal the united states mexico trade agreement i think it's an elegant name i think nafta has a lot of bad connotations for the united states because it was a rip off. the now after agreement was signed twenty four years ago between the

credit. and here we have lots and lots of credit. banks sprouting up all across the united states. from three banks in 1790 to several hundred banks by the 1820s. banks are chartered by the states. stay within that particular state's boundary. and each one is showing their own currency. but on top of those state banks is the mother bank. right. the chief bank. the central bank, the bank of the united states. and this is the second bank of the united states. because as you recall from earlier in the semester, there was a first bank of the united states. 1791 alexander hamilton pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank a private bank, the stockholders and dividends. this bank ham hamilton says will benefit the country, the public. how it will benefit the public? because the treasury. the u.s. treasury will deposit money in the bank. money coming in from taxes and the treasury can also borrow money from the bank. this bank has a 20 year charter but has lots of opponents. you remember that chief opponent. thomas jefferson hates the bank. the bank jefferson believes is a

tip of the iceberg because particularly in the united states as a matter of fact sanctions towards turkey to lay to pass to brass and they're all going to be cooked in the congress so even if the president had not weighed in you would see the sanctions coming from the u.s. congress vorse turkey so as a matter of fact it's divisible part of a much deeper and bigger problem between the two and between turkey and the united states it includes turkey's purchase of as four hundred missiles from russia it includes well i mean it's includes differences between the united states and turkey even it comes to syria and actually the whole of the middle east it includes public opinion towards the united states in turkey and public opinion towards turkey in the united states so i would not call it a problem between the presidents idea trick is the u.s. turkey crisis beyond repair at this point or do you think that it can be mended whale to tripes special tides if you want to put it to egomaniacs getting at each other a quiet squarely feeing what i think about the two. that's always difficult in

certain can tench as parts of the world, such as latin america, the united states could actually increase its military strength. at the moment, after the truce of the early cold war, these were bold ideas that cut across the gray of the conventional wisdom in foreign policy. richard nixon had been the president to make ditente the policy of the united states. before watergate, this is what many americans knew about his presidency. they believed that he was trying to rebuild the strength of the united states overseas, that had been weakened as a result of the turmoil of the 60s. the secure u.s. influence in the post-1960s era, nixon was convinced that he would need to make a series of dramatic moves, like ringing the war in vietnam to a total end, and thawing relations with the soviet union and china. >> because of his strong political standing with conservatives, nixon believed that he could do this. that he can open up relations with the communists without suffering politically here at home. the individual who most eloquently articulated the concept behind ditente was his nation

that the president of the united states must not ever make public comments about ongoing investigations and trials. >> which he used to claim he wouldn't do and is one of the many things that i think had his lawyers back peddling as we have been reporting. if everyone liked what he said, they would standby it. instead, they were arguing all day. he didn't say this was an order. >> thank you, ari. >> thank you, sir! >> today is a truly historic day in the trump presidency, in this country. it is a historic day in the history of the presidency because today we did really arrive at the fifth avenue moment. >> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? >> today was that day. today the president appeared to commit a crime in public. and for the last two and a half years since donald trump said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and get away with it, he has been preparing his voters for this day. and he has been preparing the american news media for this day. and the president's plan appears to have worked. he has su

real threats, bureaus and agencies within the united states government have surveilled those who have expressed what the cato institute describes as quote strong political views that run counterto the prevailing government political paradigm. this challenges the notion expressed by those who support a surveillance state of some sort. if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. i want to come back to that later on in our class discussion. maybe you add here to that view. maybe you are on the fence about it. maybe you firmly reject it. that's fine, we'll have an opportunity to discuss that later. the history of abuses in domestic surveillance in this country necessitates that discussion. because the same tools that can be used to protect citizens in a democratic society. again from legitimate threats can also be turned against the same citizens to less noble and nefarious reasons. >> you're going to look at the history of the united states, you would go back a century. to 1908. >> teddy roosevelt attorney general creates a special squad of investigators to work on behalf of t

maldistribution of wealth in the united states and the amount of money that suffuses american politics today, they would see or hear that many of these things going on in the united states bore an uncanny resemblance to the england they had revolted against. >> sunday night at eight eastern on c-span q&a. next, a discussion about the growing tension between the u.s. and turkey after the u.s. recently imposed sanctions. the sanctions were put in place after turkey detained an american pastor. this is hosted by the washington institute for near east policy. it's one hour 30 minutes. >> good afternoon but i wanted to welcome you this afternoon to the policy form. i am a senior fellow here at the research program and i see a lot of familiar faces around the room. we are here to join this discussion, the panel on u.s. circulations and the war of mutual sanctions. this event is on the record, it will be on social media and we have c-span live streaming the event. it's also on live stream of our website and i want to welcome everyone who is joining us online to this afternoon's important conv

period of time in the united states where was the wild west and we didn't know where some of these products were coming from. let's fast forward to the year 2000. there is another major event that is triggered u.s. dependence on china and that's why right here in washington congress and the white house agreed to grant china access to the u.s. market and also, china joined the world trade organization. it was fascinating to see within a very short period of time after that that the cartel was formed from in the vitamin c cartels was up and running. the united states prospering manufacturing plants from the same playbook, dump product on the u.s. market. local producer couldn't compete without a business. something very important also happened in 2004. a major health care company and united states, baxter health care switch suppliers of a very important ingredient for a product they make. that product is called heparin. it's a blood thinner in its widely used in hot riddles. if even a hospital, you probably have heparin. a couple years after baxter switched suppliers from the u.s. to

[applause] what a great day it is after this past week. the weather is really terrific. i want to talk about how we got into the war in march and april of 1917. in order to do that, we need to talk about democracy and little bit. the moxie is a question that americans have been dealing with since at least 1776. in the spring of 1917, i would argue this question really came into sharp focus. let me just set the stage a little bit to the war began in 1914. the u.s. stayed out of it. this is a picture of new york in the spring of 1917. money was pouring into the because we were selling to the europeans in the war. we were selling bullets, barbed wire, molasses,

arrangements, united states role in protecting europe, reciprocal military obligations, and think instead about what we would argue -- and the 1940s and 50s and very much in the 21st century. which is what is the role of the united states and the international economy? so switching ground from national security, to international economic relationships, and that is my goal, i think when donald trump talks most particularly about america first, yes, he is very invested in what the united states is military obligations are in nato, he's very invested in the kind of treaty rights or agreements that have been made in the united states, paris accords and others, but i think that resonated with the american people above all else, was his sense of the united states is role in the international economy was not working to benefit enough of them. and i think that very same sentiment, that there is something about international economic arrangement that does not figure most advantageously for enough americans is always at the core of the aftermath of the american first movement, after world war ii. s

start with this idea of affect of populism, not just the united states, transatlantic, nato countries, and the like. inst: something we have common is a belief in american leadership, belief in american'' alliance structures around the world. liberal democracy to thrive for the last 70 years. it is not just donald trump appealing to populists, it is all across europe, you see similar trends. all the seven effect on the transatlantic relationship on our historical alliances? we found it does. we have leaders across europe and here being hyper of traditional transatlantic partnership's of nato, the european union, and other foundational structures of the first world war ii order. is it a serious threatened? can it be managed by our politics? host: what is the best example of it? guest: the best are many -- the president of the united states being chummy with vladimir putin, highl -- blackfoot and highly critical of nato allies -- of vladimir putin and highly critical of nato allies. taking controls of all levels of powers in his own country and critical of nato, calling the european and
