america we could not run the white house without you. it happens that this day was scheduled on what has turned out to be a very sad day for america. and since, in my mind, you represent the best of american citizenship at what you do here every day as volunteers, i think it is important that we take a little time to ponder how we, as american citizens, should respond to what has occurred in colorado. first of all, i think it is important that we remember that we must come together and pray together but also commit to act together. in littleton, we saw and we continue to see, horror and agony. we also see in that horror and agony the ties that bring us together as a national community -- the police officers rushing toward the sound of gunfire with bravery and professionalism, the students risking their own lives for their friends, the doctors and paramedics summoning all their skills under astonishing pressure, the parents and neighbors whose love and concern sustained their children through that last long night and who will be called upon to do much more in the days and weeks to come. w

aluminum imported to america today i'm defending america's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum the american steel loman image astri has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices it's really an assault on our country. foreign companies will have to pay a twenty five percent tariff on steel and ten percent on aluminum that is sold in the us market however it was announced that canada and mexico will be exempted so since then the whole host of other countries have also requested a waiver as well your friends we are allies we work together we cannot possibly be a threat to national security in the u.s. so we are counting on being excluded and we shoot. exclusion there is no case for imposing tariffs on a straw in steel exports to the united states principally to the west coast of the united states but all of the studies that have asked for an exemption only australia has been granted one so far as for another of america's closest allies the e.u. for now it's been a rather less lucky brussels now so if you could impose mirror tariffs on peanut

part of the narrative in america that their overthrowing the dictator that america had installed in power after overthrowing their elected government doesn't mean everything that they did was great and it does mean the ayatollah was great but it was the context of the people didn't understand why are there these rights, white hostages, why does terrible anti-american revolution? it's just because they hate us. you know how it is an history begin that they and, of course, it's the same thing that we faced with the terror war with al-qaeda. so i remember i guess price september 12 or 13th, 2001, some tv news guy said they have awakened the sleeping giant. and i thought perfect, that's blowback right there. this guy doesn't know that the japanese awakened a sleeping giant back in 1941 and it hasn't even taken so much as in that sense. there was american activity in the world and intervention that it cause the terrorism problem in the first place, sleeping giant just had, the awakened giant, , partly, had a brand-new excuse for further action. and now another part of the false conclusio

about changing the racial makeup of america's immigrants so that more of them are white and fewer of them are from countries like -- countries in africa, asia, the caribbean and latin america. analysis for the center of global center says hispanic and black immigrants will twice as likely be barred by the immigration cuts as white immigrants. the legal immigration cuts will bar the majority of muslim and catholic immigrants from coming legally to the united states of america. while the president keeps saying that he wants a better class of immigrants coming to america, the cuts would actually substantially reduce the number of university graduate immigrants. the goodlatte bill would expand some work visas but we would only add one university graduate for every seven workers removed by eliminating the family visas and diversity visas. now, tell me, how does cutting out hardworking immigrants and guaranteeing that the be only available avenue to come and work in america is an illegal one? how does that protect dreamers? it doesn't. and we are once again chasing bad policies down a rabb

contradictory. people in america and people around the world wonder if there is any leadership at all coming from the president. >> let's get to guns. the president had that extraordinary session on guns with republicans and democrats earlier in the week. at times he sounded more like a democrat than a leader of the republican party. but last night he met with leaders. national rifle association. the group's tweeted, i had a great meeting tonight with blank. -- real donald trump and vp. we all want safe schools, mental health reform and to keep guns away from dangerous people. potus and vpotus support the second amendment, support strong due process and don't want gun control. what do you think of this tweet? >> he believes one thing one day and then seems to contradict himself. with the bipartisan group and the camera lights on, his instincts are to do the right thing, to make sure felons and those adjudicated mentally ill couldn't get guns by closing these loopholes of gun shows and on-line purchases. that was the right thing to do, both substantively, because it would have changed

america's -- first world leader to have had a reality tv show. hugo chavez is. and he actually had a reality tv show while he was president. he would go to a building because he was a big socialist. he nationalized everything. and with everybody watching, he would point to a certain building and say, "expropriate it," in spanish, and people loved it. so, flipping to the united states, it's actually quite similar, except for the obvious, which is donald trump's base is exactly the opposite. it's largely white. and donald trump is also not a socialist. he is a billionaire. but you still have the exact same populace dynamic, that is, you have a group of people that are viewed -- i guess you might call them coastal elites. i mean, they're not all coastal. they live in cities and they're not all wealthy, but they are professors and journalists and bankers and lawyers who control , or seen as controlling the levers of power, washington, silicon valley, hollywood, and they're very multicultural and sort of liberal, usually -- not always, and very politically correct and very cosmopolitan, a

exploiting you and controlling everything, let's take america back for you, the real people who own it. that is exactly the message that chavez said. brian: let me ask you if there is a parallel here. in chapter 35 you say, "today, venezuela is practically a failed state." amy: yes, so venezuela is a country that had a market dominated minority. in these countries, democracy can often be very destabilizing. because you have this powerful minority that wants to cling to its power, then you have much larger, poor, less educated, frustrated majority. and what i say in the book and clashn is that in this are the poorer numbers. people will fight to the death of the country. sometimes you will see lurches towards authoritarianism and you're seeing that now. you see typically an erosion of trust in our institution. i hate to say it, but this is something we are talking about a lot in the united states. you know, these institutions that used to be so revered, we do not trust them, we do not trust electoral outcome. this is critically important. it is what has made us special. developingrom co
