what's going on in the world. look at france. take a good look at france. i have pretends that go to france. they used to love france. they say no, thank you. they don't expect to be going back for a long time. i have one trip, i said how was your trim to france? he said france isn't france anymore, we're knot going anymore. so many people are saying that. look at germany. what's going on with the -- germany. look at the problems. we have enough problems that are going on in our country right now, we don't need additional problems, folks. we don't need additional problems. and for all we know, this could be the great trojan horse, this could be. we don't know who these people are. now, they're coming in through obama and i looked at a chart yesterday and for years it's sort of like this, a little uptick and the last number or period of time it's like wa, wa, they've never seen anything like it. they're letting them in and again, you can't vet them. you don't know where they come from. look at the damage that two people in san bernardino, probably radicalized the guy, the woman com

with the somali refugee population in minnesota. beyond terrorist as we've also seen in france, foreign populations have brought their anti-semitic attitudes with them. in cologne germany on new year's eve, we have seen the reports of sexual violence and assault far greater than anybody knows. pew polling shows that in many other countries from which we grow large number of immigrants, extreme views about religion such as the death penalty and for those who are involved, the death penalty is very, very common. if you don't have the faith that they demand you have it a top administration will establish a clear principle that will govern all decisions pertaining to immigration. and we will be tough. we will be even extreme. [applause] we should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people. in the cold war, we had an ideological screening test. that time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today. i call it extreme vetting. i call it extreme, extreme vetting. our country has enough problems. we don't need more. these

of risk. we are not france, or england, or germany. one of the reasons we are not in the situation they are in is because precisely mubin was talking about, the fact that of the 27 years i spent doing this, most muslim americans are americans. they left those countries for a reason and it was not to import terrorism here. so, i have been especially disconcerted for the last 12 months with the campaign because having spent time with muslim americans, having spent time with the security apparatus, with the police, with the fbi, and my peeps from the office of homeland security that i joined on the 12th of september of 2001, i can tell you the days after 9/11 they were maybe 15 of us studying terrorism. two days later, it was hundreds. and so i went directly to work with the u.s. government to say, ok, this is what terrorism looks like in other parts of the world. and the main thing that we found , first of all, was that it was not necessarily religion. we had lots of nonreligious terrorism. in fact, i had done fieldwork in sri lanka with the tigers who were not muslim. we were doing

in every country on the face of the earth? named germany. he named france. how's he going to do that when that he doesn't want to do nation-building, and he doesn't want to have war? how do you -- and he's obviously not a diplomat of any kind. so -- and also, when did we win the cold war? not mistaken, china is our biggest trading partner and communist ll a country and so is north korea. so i just think he's really good spouting off, and he's a classic propagandaist, and you obviously didn't write getting h, as he's coached by somebody who's telling him not to raise his looking at the teleprompters. but he's still using words like "vicious" and at the same time claiming he's viivpassivist.pass also, i'd like to say if he's so religious practices that end up in violence against omen, we have plenty of violence against women in our own country that we can work on. domestic violence every is wed part of the reason have too many guns out there. host: karen, covered a lot of there. we're going to move on. thank you for your call. plainfield, new jersey, calling on the trump supporter line

the world, paris, france. they walk in. they kill. 130 people. they wound so gravely hundreds of people. let me tell you because we are in second amendment, right, second amendment. if we had in san bernardino or in orlando or someplace, somebody in that room like this guy right here, right? or that guy with the blue make america great had on? or the guy with the red make america -- or that woman with the beautiful blonde hair -- i wish i had hair that looked like that. but if we had somebody and they happened to have a gun, san bernardino, they see him come in -- first of all, if they knew there was a gun where the bullets be flying in the other direction, they probably would not come in, ok? but let's assume they did. the carnage would not have been with the carnage was. we have to protect the second amendment. hillary clinton wants to kill the second amendment. [cheering] wants to kill. so here's our charge. i do a lot of these. i love the people. we have such a movement going on. who likes the snake? who likes the snake? do you like him? here we are with this. we know bad thi

notion if you care a lot about food in america, not in france or asia necessarily but in you care a lot about food is you're made fun of as a presidential candidate, as barack obama was for mentioning the word arugula. i think that's part of it, it goes back to the liveliness that goes hand in hand with livelihood that you were talking about. liveliness, joy, how do we get the public to buy in to everything this panel has been talking about? i think we start with joy, we start with the actual taste of good food. we say beets are not the scarey -- [laughter] >> if they're cultivated right and it's part of what just food does so well, connect people in urban settings to farmers markets and actual farmers and when you have that kind of -- i met a farmer and procured the produce and then you slice the beet and drizzle the oh live oil and sea salt, you're getting it. it's not -- i think we need more of that public buy-in.

abroad study. i worked in a factory in france. they made the engines for french trains. that is how i learned french, working in a factory. brian: why were you doing that? laurence: antioch had a work-study program. which is great for a writer. you work all these jobs. i worked in the factory, i studied, then i went to the peace corps to nepal. it was the most fabulous place. i was a two day's walk from the road, way up in mountains. i was there for two years. brian: what did you get from all that? peace corps. laurence: the best group of people i've ever been with. i'm still close to many of them. we still have our reunions, everything from people that went to community colleges, people that went to harvard. just a mix of people. one of these guys i still play tennis with occasionally. occasionally. afterwards went in and was a marine officer in vietnam and says it was more difficult in the peace corps than the military. it was tough. it was not easy to do this. and people at a lot of health problems. some of them still do. living in those conditions for two years. but it was a gre

minds is the right thing to do. whether the same pressures that people in canada field, or france, or japan, in a time when wealthy countries are not generating new jobs and people are working harder for stagnant wages, those pressures make us do what is easy and perhaps popular in the moment. or will we do what we really should do, the honorable thing to do to respond to those pressures is to take an action that may not be popular in the moment but that could hold the promise of alleviating the pressures? if we believe the feelings, the anxieties are legitimate as having said that already speakers, then don't we have the obligation to do what will alleviate the anxieties over the long haul? instead of play to them in the moment. that is what this decision is all about. that is what we mean when we say the secret ballot on this issue has already been one. the students over here to buy left are from my alma mater, georgetown. when i was in their place, 25 years ago now, when we were studying global affairs we cannot really worryin worry abod thinking about the cold war and trying to de

france over the burkini, which, although it's a different legal system over there, it seems to mirror the debate that we've been having in this country about religious freedom and tolerance and concerns expressed over the political sphere about islam. if a u.s. municipality were to ban the use of the burkini the way a number have in france, what kind of a view of that would the white house take? mr. earnest: well, josh, i want to be careful of not weighing in too aggressively to second-guess the policy decisions that are being made by one of our closest allies, particularly when it comes to their assessment about national security and homeland security. i think what i can say affirmatively about the united states and certainly the approach that the president has taken is there's a reason that the united states is a beacon of freedom around the world. the united states of america was founded to serve as a country where people could observe their religious faith and worship god without the fear of persecution or even intrusion by government authorities. this freedom of religion is somet

with officials from france to discuss the paris attacks, they have protection for face shields, there are all kinds of equipment. >> the dallas police used robots to deliver a bomb to kill the guy shooting the cops. you have access to that technology. >> we have a similar robot but again we haven't had training to deploy such a device to kill a suspect in that situation. that is again training that could be provided with that funding. >> sheriff demings, you talk in your testimony about having brevard and volusia being included in that. why is that important? >> it is important because it speaks to how the metropolitan area functions. the infrastructure, the roadways, the way we advertise our tourism investigation, commuters travel to and from work. we are truly one metropolitan area. whenever there is an incident in volusia we support the efforts. when there is something going on at the kennedy space center we support the efforts there as well. even with the pulse incident we had a regional response. there were police agencies and sheriff's offices throughout the region and qu

toughest gun laws in the world, paris, france. they walk in. they kill 130 people. they wound so gravely hundreds of people. now, let me just tell you because while we're in the second amendment -- if we had in san bernardino or in orlando or some place, somebody in that room like this guy right here, right? that guy with the blue make america great again hat on. or that woman with the beautiful blonde hair. wish i had hair that looked like that. [laughter] but if we have somebody and they happen to have a gun, san bernardino, they see them coming. first of all, if they knew there was a gun where the bullets would be flying in the other direction, they probably wouldn't have gone in. but let's assume they did, the carnage would not be what the carnage was. we have to protect our second amendment. hillary clinton wants to kill our second amendment. wants to kill it. [cheers and applause] so here's our start. and i was thinking about doing -- like one in 10. i do a lot of these. i love the people. we have such a movement going on. who likes the snake? do you know the snake? do you like him

am here. america for me and my children. we have to change a little bit because in france, you see something, these people don't change. good,nd out if it is no we think. so the message, kenya, they vote for him -- if it doesn't work, you come back to democrat people. you can't do the same thing the second time. that is my point. host: you mentioned africa give , me an opportunity to speak about the continent. mr. trump has very much regard for africa because many of these countries that we see the worst are going to be in africa for example, the forgotten darfur. we did not see much from the obama-clinton administration work on darfur. there are other areas in sudan, in south the civil war sudan. somalia is still a problem even after eight years. not just obama, but the bush administration. nigeria, if the boko haram problem is not addressed, you are going to have one third of the country going the way of syria. and then of course the countries , of the south and somalia, africa needs to be on the foreign policy of the next administration, whomever is in the white house. host: we

in france. they passed a law intended to. they're doing a version of this in seattle and county. for me that so because there is another trend where people are saying sex work is cool. is just another way to make a living. and i'm afraid that young people have heard there's a movement in new york city for students, college students to legalize prostitution so that they can pay their student tuition. i understand some people will put this forward as empowering, et cetera, and to get that. that's part of the new cultural moment of self-determination. it's a very misguided because if we legalize this whole thing, just imagine how many human bodies, mostly girls and women, will have to be supplied to an endless marketplace. this is sex we are talking about. this is a thing is happening right now, and hope that i have is that places like sweden and the county atalanta are showing a different way, but we can help people, we can get people without treating them sort of like they don't know their own mind or something, but to really say no. as a society were not going to just give into

focused on this because of the talk and by own interest, is that in france, another town has banned the burkini, and it has caused quite a controversy there. and in your book, the sheikh talks about, well, whether you wear a burka, burkini -- he doesn't mention the burkini, but he might as well as have, whatever, these are just outward manifestations, and within your own homes, you can be as private as you want to be, and the reality of that, people said, this is unfair. they are specifically criticizing and punishing muslims. how do you as an observer who has written this book, who has lived and traveled, how do you respond or analyze the commotion carla: i think it is interesting you picked up on the veil. it has got to be the most written about, must contested flap of fabric in the history of humankind. that, or thelike inght of your minaret switzerland, it is these very superficial things that become lightning rods for everything else. superficiality is sad. when, 63% ofme americans say they don't know a muslim. often, the places where there is greatest fear that sharia law is going

books, tight rope, about a world war ii spy that was ever dropped into france to report on the germans and so forth your those for reasonably have been my books and then i am stocking up ideas for the break in august 2 hopefully a little more time reading. >> i hope to finish a couple books. first of all i reading the freedoms cap which is given to me by senator roy blunt, and this is a book that is about the dome being put on the capitol building pre-civil war, but what is i found especially interesting as i get into the book is to focus on the house chamber in the senate chamber, and how those were added to the original capitol building. one of the main proponents of that is jefferson davis. so while we are approaching the civil war, we have jefferson davis really hoping our country, helping build a capitol building which would serve our entire country, then we know later that he became the president of the confederacy. so that's a book that i'm hoping to get through. i started it and they need to finish it. i also want to read about destiny and power, which is the book by jo

hanging in the balance, and really the only thing our air france want to talk about at the point was iran. and yet the peace process -- and this is administration i was struck, you remember this because you write about it, and may 2011, middle east is kind of coming apart. dictators are falling right and left. the conservative monarchies are afraid they will be next. the iranian nuclear threat is to all out there. the president goes in may of 2011 in the middle of all this to give a speech at the state department. it's actually built as a speech about the arab spring at it does deal with the arab spring to some extent i think it's called something the winds of change. and then lo and behold, the headlines the next day, they are about the president making new demands on the israeli-palestinian issue that israel needs to return to the 67 lines with some adjustments, and whatnot. but it was really kind of striking giving everything is happening in the region. the region kind of unraveling with no possible connection to the palestinian issue. and yet the president felt compelled to return to

for anti-americanism in general. in france, it is more protectionism. against.s., it is anger trade. we have to change the dynamic where everyone sees that there are benefits to trade, not just a small group. until we change that dynamic, i think it will get harder and harder for election cycles to sort of support and ratified these important free-trade agreements. i will try to get in a few more questions. thank you. about the south china sea issue, china already declared they are not going to accept any international ruling. can the president get any positive reaction from president xi? if botht wondering leaders can have a positive conversation about the south china sea. thank you. >> my answer would be no. not operating with the same basic assumption about what is at stake in the south china sea. the chinese side will not yield on its assertion that it has complete sovereignty. the u.s. and our allies will not yield on the jurisdiction of this decision and the binding nature of the decision or on ou r, frankly, much more important resistance to the use of coercion against smalle
