that is that timescale and with those severe effects in the united states and that is what is showing us and it is fairly clear where this picture continues to emerge but it is getting worse. we are not even disputing what we will do about it. where climate policy is the political conversation but the actual science itself is increasingly clear. it is a relatively small handful of researchers of washington-based think tanks largely funded by the fossil fuel agency and then all the other side all these other agency saying this is a serious problem come is getting worse, caused by us and increasing at a rapid rate. >> host: what are the other countries of the world doing to mitigate or reverse this problem question because the president's other - - critical of other countries that they are not doing enough to meet their targets. china is going heavily into coal to drive up emissions and then and then that's what takes to cut greenhouse gas emissions. >> and with what they try to impose it as it riots but then protest in the street. >> people are pretty angry there is a way to put in a c

i was accused by several senators of being the forrest gump of the united states senate because there was no question that they could give me that i could not fall back on some instance if the roman empire that would support the answer to he question. well i'm going to plead guilty to that and say something. i'm a pretty good presidential historian. and i did a piece today, i think it was in u "usa today," maybe it'll be tomorrow, there's never been a presidential campaign, certainly in the post world war ii era, where one of the candidates made veterans the centerpiece of his campaign. and that was brought home to me when i was made the acting secretary. now, for those of you who have had your heads beaten in by the jesuit fathers as i have had, being the acting secretary is like being in jesuit limbo. you are, but you're not. and i was amazed during that eight weeks that i was privileged to be the acting secretary of they have department how much time the president of the united states spent with me, talking about veterans, talking about the future of the department of veterans' aff

last year the united states congress in the armed services committee. to say you have to take into account climate change as part of the national defense strategy and then with the full congress that they voted to keep that as part of the national defense authorization act that more people are recognizing this is a reality from the coastal communities that are dramatically affected the storm events so across the us economy $400 billion and then to invest in the future to improve our o o climate quick. >> you said they would shift things how many members will go away because of elections quick. >> i don't know the exact number but one of the leaders we need to find more leaders in the republican party. >> host: why do you think there is a resistance to do that quick. >> it could be from the omtional inclination for the distrust of government it is affecting us all because to try to regulate behavior that's why we talk about those jobs that could be created in the improvement of the economy. and then to take advantage of these new technologies and with th

it is not likely to be reimbursed officially in the united states. john: in louisiana, good morning. caller: good morning. ask, do you think health care be addressed by congress? all i could get, was they want to subpoena and investigations and do not seem to have health care on their agenda. on duringhat to run the midterm, but i heard more of let us do the investigations and subpoenas, and destroyed trump. let us drag up every bad thing they could. having healthhem care as a main i think health care is actually very high on the agenda, especially for the democrats who are now in control of the house of representatives. actually, there is i bipartisan core of people in the senate, also, want to see some changes for example, with the obamacare act. a desire to continue to stabilize the health insurance market. in particular, discussion about even increasing subsidies for higher income people to get coverage through the affordable care act. i think there is a willingness to address some of these issues. of course, there's not universal agreement on wh

in the united states is a very very big part of the u.s. economy the guns and the planes and the ships and the bombs that they use and sell all around the world support a lot of jobs in the united states i don't think that the wars in general are going to end if they can do some maneuver to make a better situation for the united states in afghanistan they are probably talking about that and would like to see that seventeen years of war and terror is nato soldat countless thousands dead on each every side generations thread and misery and violence drunken hatred and the heroine finally the taliban agrees to open talks it's a huge deal ed the u.s. possum's war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help. there riot police being deployed in the german city of hamburg where hundreds of protesters have rallied for under against i know a merkel's migrant policies. it was rights groups called around the to deny open door policy which is seen over a million people who are into the country since the highs of the migrant crisis in tw

this history is the history of the united states. it has shaped national consciousness as well as popular culture. so we'll look at a few of the images now. the one i'd like to show you, the first, is one that really fascinated me as soon as i learned about it. and this is a sketch for the great seal of the united states. now, the continental congress employed a committee or got together a committee of americans with impeccable revolutionary war credentials to come up with a design for the great seal of the united states. the committee presented a proposal and the continental congress did not like it. they got together a second committee. the second committee turned to a man named francis hopkinson. he was a signer of the declaration of independence and he came up with the sketch that we're looking at here. now people who know about the history of the seal know that this sketch was never submitted as a formal proposal for what the great seal should look like, but i find it extraordinarily fascinating that at the time when the united

the united states has deep ties to the nation of india and i'm grateful for my friendship with prime minister modi. we are trying hard to make better trade deals with india. they are very good negotiators he would say, right? the best so we are working and it's moving along. and india is the world's largest democracy and the relationship between our two countries can act as a bulwark for freedom prosperity and peace. as we join in fellowship with all of those who like lamps in their own homes, cities and places of worship we are truly fortunate to have these wonderful traditions woven into the tapestry of our national life and that is true to the ceremony signifies the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. it's a jubilant occasion that brings loved ones, neighbors and communities closer together and the shining lights remind us to seek reason to give thanks and to always cherish and love the ones who grace our lives. i think that's very much how people should all feel and how we all feel. we all feel that. maybe naomi, it do you feel that mail may? [laughter] now she doe

i respect the united states senate. i used to be a staffer of the united states senate. but there is no excuse why they can't do what the house did and follow our leadership and work on a strong bipartisan basis to make sure that america just doesn't have the strongest economy of today, but has the strongest economy of tomorrow. and it started with men and women, democrats and republicans, on the house financial services committee, to ensure that the economy of tomorrow, once again, will be strong for all americans. and i urge my colleagues and my friends in the united states senate to follow our lead, to listen to the administration, and pass the jobs 3.0 act immediately. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair will receive a message. the messager: mr. speaker, a message from the senate. the secretary: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: madam secretary. the secretary: i have been directed by the senate to inform the house that the senate has passed h.r. 7187, an act to extend the n

he understands that the united states can only do so much in fairness to the united states. we want to absolutely be there. we want to help. we want to be a part of it. but different countries have to also help. that's only fair. and i think the president -- we've already discussed this. the president and i very much agree on that. >> so, dara, just to analyze what you heard there from president trump for a moment, he was essentially trying to tamp down the idea there were tensions heading into this weekend saying, look, this is about fairness, let's focus on that. let's focus on burden-sharing. 's something we've heard repeatedly from president trump. the optics today, both leaders really striking a unified note. at one point president macron reaching over and touching president trump's leg. these two, they were once so close it was describe as a bromance. now that appears to be fizzling because, frankly, they have clashed on different issues everything from trade to iran to climate. and those are some of the issues they'll be addressing today. we'll continue to watch their

operating inside the united states. it remains basically unchanged even as technology has gone ahead. and part of a pfizer amendment act. it is based on the original definition. it hinges on part with the type of collection. it is becoming in the global dispersion of computer servers in data storage. i mentioned that some of the deficiencies today not because i'm calling for any particular set of changes or improvements rather i believe they are implementing about how the changes can drive the need to update statutory framework and they demonstrate the shortcomings of how we had attempted to address these issues in the past. these shortcomings become even more noticeable when you consider how our privacy laws pay -- regulate the private sector. the notions of privacy here in america are mostly focused on curtailing government by contrast, we have largely led market forces which is to say no regulation establish whatever individual rights we may have in this area relative to corporations and other businesses. true, the p

a cease-fire led by the united states. now we have the first visit of a senior european foreign minister to saudi arabia since the murder of jamal khashoggi. but this is an opportunity to both raise that issue, of course, which jomana already discuss discussed with you, george, but the united kingdom and united states are the supplier of arms to the yemen, and they have called for a cease-fire which is due to happen they if they stick to scheduled sometime next month. and they do have levers to pull. so far the united states has pulled a pretty meaningless lever in suspending air refueling to the saudis who said they didn't need it anyway. but there are real pressure points that can be brought to bear. i think that is likely that we are going to hear jeremy hunt suggest later on today that perhaps he might use some of those pressure points, or at least implore the saudis to dial down the violence. but as ever, george, when there is a prospect of peace talks or a cease-fire, belligerence on all sides can be expected to grab

this is a unique issue to the united states, with got to get -- united states, we have got to get to the bottom of it, we need common sense and if congress won't act, as gabby giffords said, it's time to elect a new congress. ms. harkey: i want to respond. that is absolutely ludicrous. i believe in universal background checks. that's a must. i also believe in the 10th amendment. if we have a statewide or nationwide gun-control measure, does that, if california's are more restrictive, does that mean california has to be looser? you can't have the same gun regulation for massachusetts that you have for montana. it does not work. stateso believe that have the right, through the 10th amendment, to set their own laws. we are not there to dictate what every state will do, but we are there to protect our own. universal background checks are part of the program. they should be. but the bigger problem with school shootings has been inability or unwillingness, shall we say, of authorities to cooperate with one another, either because there was a minor, are we had a policy that to not allow the

it is to restrain the united states. it is to establish a far left global order which will he be politically correct and will be anti- israel and of high taxes to promote a liberal agenda and this is also something america first is standing up to. global leaves in new york and europe and this is an anti- israel, anti-semitism but the cathedral of . lou: i don't know that i would be so quick to dismiss that possibility. there was a time i would have agreed with you but when you are saying these rising incidences of anti-semitism in the united states it began or i should not say it began but there are higher incidences rising in europe and then in this country, there is an anti- israel lobby or order that they're trying to build and i think as fred puts it within the united nations itself. your thoughts. >> anti-semitism is a growing problem and of course this is made much worse by president mccrone trying to replace as de facto empress of europe. merkel who led 1 million people into europe without asking anyone, including

states really challenges pictorial representations of the united states after 9/11. of course, really challenges the united states and the world as well. i just happened to be talking about pictures he appeared in two different ways of that manifesting itself in where i find some of the most provocative form duke's expressions about the last two decades in american history. and that is in public art. has anyone seen this? the electronic superhighway the smithsonian museum of art? is a giant insulation. it is hard to do it justice. it is as big as this altar i would say. it is all neon tubing. each state is a bunch of video screens and it's like what the hell is that? as you get closer to it, it gets louder and louder but if it becomes more difficult to here at what he was saying. and they're playing snippets of things in a live there representative somehow the state. a few go to oklahoma and it's like -- they go to massachusetts -- you can barely come if you really try you can hear a little bit but it's just noise. this is a korean american artist and his point i thi

failedla is a socialist state, which is why we don't want socialism in the united states. how shouldmr. levin, the u.s. deal with this migrant caravan, and what do you propose be done about immigration? mr. levin: i would like to thank kusi for this debate. we need to get back to bipartisan solutions. we had senator mccain and senator kennedy years ago to have a bipartisan bill to advance conference of immigration reform, and we had the gang of eight. more recently, the policies of this administration have not been successful, draconian policies like family situation, and we still have people desperate for safety trying to flee latin american countries. we have got to secure the border. there are better and cheaper ways to do it than what the president, the wall, which i believe is a monument to his ego. remember, during the campaign he said mexico would pay for the wall, not american taxpayers. we need to work toward bipartisan reform. my grandparents on my mom's side were mexican immigrants. they came to this country when they were very young, they didn't have money or a

. >> so what impact do you think the legalization of marijuana in canada will have on the united states, if anything? >> well, i think it informs an interesting analog similarly, where all eyes were on colorado when they legalized cannabis in 2014, certainly it will give us insights into age cohort demographics like you discussed and it will give us insights into form factor and the destigmatization of the category. >> do you think it will become legal on a federal level any time soon in the united states or do you expect this will continue to go on a state by state basis? >> we expect things to continue on a state by state basis in the near term, absolutely. in the midterms i think it will be critical in terms of watching for that evolution. >> as more states do legalize marijuana, what impact do you think it will have on the beer and alcohol industries will this hurt them or is this an opportunity for them too? >> yeah, we think that alcohol and cannabis are substitute social lubricants. you are starting to see that namely in nevada and in california and the beginning of this year and

right that a person has, anyplace in the united states. until we do it here. there has to be this balance of equities and i think the balance of equities, i happen to agree with the initial decision, i think the court had a right to do that. but something happened when you stopped preparation for trial. the balance of equities meant for a year, no individual in the united states can vindicate their first amendment right and it strikes me that this is wrong. and before i wanted to make sure that you got the full argument because i don't have a problem at all until you stop and then it seems to me we have to consider in balancing the equities that perhaps a year or year and a half we will tell everybody in the united states you can't vindicate your first amendment right. >>> i think we agree with you your honor. whatever principles because -- because the agency has good cause to initiate the ifr without prior comment in order to protect religious conscience that was not being protected prior to the ifr. there were several nonprofits that wer

last stands in the united states prior to the president taking this action it allowed anybody who entered into the united states whether it was legal or illegal as long as they were fleeing persecution in their home country they were allowed to claim asylum but now the parameters for that are being changed by the administration unilaterally citing a national security making the argument now only asylum claims will be accepted if they are made to an official port of entry what this means peter is it's going to cut down significantly on those who are able to make asylum claims will this be one of his famous executive orders or does it have to go through congress. well officially here's how it works congress makes the laws but we have seen in fairness this is started even under president obama an increasing grasp and overuse some would argue of executive power other words presidents using executive orders to get things done because of the gridlock that exists in congress so what we've seen is a weakening of the legislative branch and a stronger more powerful executive branch or white house t

i said oh my god, the president of the united states aware of something that i wrote. that is a good day in the life of a working journalist. he tweeted there was no document and it is all fake news and cnn should enter a retraction. none this ever happened. the president just kind of called me a jerk and a liar. so it is kind of like, and then wilbur ross got up and said yes we have the document. >> what do you do with that? how do you navigate that? for the rest of the life of that story, and it was a good story and i was proud of, 50% of the people who read the story and there is no way to convince him or get them back. but that is just my reputation and my credibility, but i guess i will always be a liar for those people who believe in it. it is an unsolvable problem, and it is not just the president, working with the trump adminstration, it is sort of like a culture of go screw yourself. this will peter down and you talk about modeling good behavior, it peters down throughout the industry. there's a lot of people inside the administration that is doing good work,

this has always been our concern about the united states. this disclosure that's happened over the past couple of days has come out of the eastern district of virginia. that's a criminal investigation which started way back in 2010 in relation to the publication of u.s. diplomatic cables, the u.s. and afghan war logs. the materials showed evidence of war crimes, corruption and human rights abuse and details that the "new york times" and other media organizations published. this is confirmation of what we've been concerned about for many years, which is the risk that the united states would seek to prosecute julian assange for having accomplished truthful information. it's the reason he was granted asylum and we have confirmation it was correct to have son done. >> when was the last time you saw julian assange and how was he? >> i saw him yesterday after the news broke. he has been on what human rights describe as solitary confinement. his health is deteriorating. it's been a big problem for a long time. i'm concerned about the permanent impa

was the largest library fire in the history of the united states. and until very recently it was the largest structural fire in the history of los angeles. it burned for seven and a half hours and reached 2500 degrees. when the building was built it was thought to be fireproof. and i know you're fire suppression today is far better than it was in 1926, but was believed to be particularly fireproof. there was a point when the fire was burning that the firefighters didn't think they were going to be able to save the building because what would a fire like more than to be raging inside of a library. i'm going to read a little bit from the section of the book about the fire. at first, the smoke was as pale onion skin. as onion skin. then it deepened, then it turned black. it wound around curling and ringlets. it gathered up against the shills like bumper cars. suddenly they shot through the smoke and jabbed upwards if more flames erupted. the temperature reached 451 degrees and above books began smoldering. pages flared and blackened and then spring awa

they've watched the united states carefully. they have to understand that trump is coming here somewhat wounded and perhaps prepared to strike out. frankly, if macron could find any excuse for trump, it would be that -- that trump is feeling wounded, this on the plane was a way of showing that he is still very much in charge. a lot of them don't believe it, frankly. >> you're seeing on the screen the first lady of france who is awaiting the arrival of u.s. first lady, melania trump, for -- there's a spouses event that will be happening today. this is what we're seeing here. live pictures we'll have for you throughout the morning of the events here. i think the first lady -- >> looks like -- >> mrs. trump's vehicle pulled up. >> go ahead, go ahead, david. you wanted to say something? >> there's an interesting back story. melania trump is from the former yugoslavia, from one of the former soviet republics. some time ago when the three leaders of the baltic states, estonia, latvia, and lithuania met in paris, they told amazing stor

in the united states joined and in the spring of 1917. it took really a little more than a year to get large numbers of american troops sufficiently trained. but starting in the summer of 1918, huge numbers of americans, young americans, went to france very eager to fight, as young men so often and so tragically are all over the world. in fact, when those u.s. troops got to france, many of the men assigned to rear areas begin to do with the military called deserting to the front. they had come to europe to fight and is the glory in battle and not to be loading supplies in the rear somewhere. so by the end of the war, there were some 2 million u.s. troops in france. they supplied in important ingredient in the forces that brought the allied armies to victory. they were fresh and raring to go, unlike the soldiers of the countries that had already been fighting in europe for more than four years. roughly a little over 100,000 americans perished in that war, about half of them in combat and the other half from the great influenza epidemic tha

he is the first mixed president of the united states. what happened about his white mother? ok? did they forget about that? host: thanks. guest: i'm not going to jump into this debate which i think you are trying to start there, president obama was very transparent about his lineage on both sides of the family. i think the legacy of president obama is that he was able to this out to people across country, of all backgrounds, of all ethnicities and races, and political persuasions. and put together a very strong support within the electorate. and i think that was a hallmark of his presidency. his insistence on reaching out to everybody, to every citizen in this country, trying to bring us together, wherever possible, rather than trying to divide us. and i think that's something that most americans appreciate from his time as president. host: a recent editorial from investor's business talks of a hr one, specifically what you are hoping to do with citizens united. saying democrats have attacked it, they want a constitutional amendment that would overturn the ruling and other relat

persons located outside the united states. so what i would say as a general framework matter, of course, is that 702 took off the table essentially the location of the collection and put the focus on the target, is what i would say to them. then you get into the issues of from the private sector, your standard analysis in terms of possession, custody or control of the data if the government is asking you to turn over data from a u.s. perspective. so that's a long answer to your question, but you really do have to get into those issues in terms of both doing the analysis of what we would look at, if the government is asking for data, do you have possession, custody or control of the data, if it's overseas and you do not have possession, custody or control of it, then it's not clear that you would be able to comply with any lawful order. >> maybe you could have him do a short memo for us and we will put it with our materials. i know the n,sa would like to hear that answer. any other questions from the audience before i pose othe

states christiane twip asked bag about france's call to create a european army and he asked is this a signal that europeans feel that they can no longer kill on u.s. support for nato. mr secretary-general there's a discussion going on triggered by france to create a real european ami what is behind that call do you or prince no longer believe in the u.s. commitment to nato i think what we have learned. of the two world wars and the cold war. is the importance of the transatlantic bomb so we have to make sure that europe and north america stand together i welcome stronger even efforts on the fence because i think that can strengthen. european defense capabilities provided to new capabilities and also more defense investments but i do not welcome not if that duplicate. nato efforts as so utopian defense efforts has to take place within the framework of nato strength in the u.p.a. within nato and as long as it does start i welcome you a foot on the fence the u.s. has announced that it will withdraw from the i.m.f. treaty the intermediate range nuclear forces agreement with russia what

we know that nationalism is resurgent in the united states. we have seen horrible hate crimes and violence and we know that the president has picked sides. he said that the nationalist leader in italy, the new prime minister is who he feels closest to. he praised the leaders who are nationalists as well. he even praised macron's biggest opponent who represents the nationalist party in france. i am glad that macron was able to stand up to nationalists around the world, including president trump. >> macron brought up the issue of a european force to contribute to nato. this is what the president tweeted when he was on air force one before landing in paris. saying president macron of france suggested that europe build their own military to protect itself from the u.s., china and russia. very insulting, but perhaps europe should pay its fair share of nato which the u.s. subsidizes greatly. the spokesperson for macron said there is a misunderstanding. what's going on here? >> first off, the president is again saying that the united states should be

but he goes on to pay a supreme complement to the founders of the united states constitution. he says the english constitution was grown, and the american constitution was made. just as the english constitution is the most subtle organism in which to proceed on the womb of a long progressive history, so is the american constitution the single most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time from the brain and purpose of man.[ applause ] >> winston churchill, he was a great admirer of the american constitution and one of the greatest defenders in history of his own. church hill of course that smack was to church hill new history and studied history and loved history, and also made history and embodied history and would have been so proud to know that you have met here were the history of freedom was reborn. it seems that most speakers at the beginning established their credentials and in my case, given the distinguished winston churchill scholar here, it seems appropriate to establish my lack of credentials.
