it's united states' law operating on the united states' official who is acting inside the united states. this case has, as far as the conduct is concerned, united states written all over it. nothing about mexico. the border patrol guard doesn't take these orders from mexico. >> i think it would be up to the united states to prosecute mr. may said criminal he is they were to choose to do so, which would provide a remedy to the petitioners via a -- >> why? they wouldn't get any damages for the death of their 15-year-old son, for their emotional suffering. but i think i have to follow up on what justice ginsburg is saying, a more fundamental question. which is, i don't think you or the u.s. government is suggesting that anyone is condoning people standing at the border and taking pop shots at passing mexicans. >> absolutely not. >> and yes, there is a criminal remedy for the government to vindicate its position. but why should there not be a civil remedy to ensure that border police are complying with the constitution? either under the fourth or fifth amendment, wouldn't shooting pop shots

after world war two the united states has certainly made mistakes but again overall i think the united states is doing a lot of things well working now to address the north korean nuclear issue we worked for a decade building an international coalition to address the iran nuclear issue to to address isis so sure there are there are challenges but i think the united states is continuing to play an important leadership role in the international system and nobody is trying to diminish the international. the important international role that the united states is playing i just don't understand why the americans as the bent on diminishing russia's role because because although each human is that you now listed they wouldn't have been possible without russia's participation all those issues that you have mentioned russia was right there at the table with the americans you know russia did play a helpful role in the iran nuclear negotiations i think that's true russia also played a helpful role and the six party talks but it would be great if russia would contribute to the rules based order i

states from the paris accord but we're going to look at all the different threats the united states, which ones are the most imminent and we need to deal with now and prudently carefully sift through those and handle once we can handle. my darren business, other countries that can work with united states are welcome. >> which is the way most of the world treat itself, might itself first and his criticism from donald trump -- thank you. >> those who are willing to work with us. i believe we are going to go to another fox news alert. and polish president duda and donald trump addressed a news conference. rob: the president coming down strong on north korea and nato allies, hitting that to present and spending on their own defense, kristin fisher in the press conference, kristin. >> let's start with russia, one day away from donald trump's first face-to-face with vladimir putin and active press conference that wrapped up 30 minutes ago, he said definitively that he believed it was russia behind meddling in the us election. he also said older countries could have been involved as well. t

states being sabotaged because in a way takes the united states all of the political scene as a serious player what do you think russia is more interested at this point of time the american corporation or the continuing american absence from the scene well i think i wouldn't call it sabotage trump trump is sabotaging himself well it really is both perhaps i do think so i mean he comes out with tweets every day most recently against journalists on m.s.n. b.c. i know. he's in the hole and he keeps digging and so he is not being vilified by the united states or by the democrats he's behaving in such a way this and bring it upon himself with mr cheney or yourself noted that there is such a climate in the united states that makes any kind of not just referential but any kind of french gesture to russia exceedingly difficult political to move this why is that happening that is happening because russia hacked into u.s. e-mail accounts and intervened in our democratic that's why that is why the political environment now is poisonous when it comes to russia i think from the russian perspective n

that is a reference to guest that suggests the united states should provoke iran into a war so wehe united states will cause this ally to drop nuclear weapons on them. one thing that should be known is your guest promotes the interests of the state of israel, like every other think there like the american enterprise institute. i like to say to your guest that we are not all as stupid as you think we are. steve, you have a good day. thanks. host: patrick clawson? guest: there are about a quarter million people out there who have seen you to in which a 911 truther accuses me of trying to provoke a war with iran. a number of publications and written about that. i said i hope there is no confrontation and as tensions get worse, i think the united states should wait to see whether iran initiates military action weather than the united states ever initiating military action. still hold to is that there are no circumstances under which the united states should initiate military action was iran --with iran. we hope they do not initiate military action against us, but they have seized american sail

you don't have that in the united states and we don't. you also have the polonium situation in great britain. the only way to get polonium is from a nuclear reactor. mr. -- the family sent home from the united states a few years ago, i could not tell of that family came from kansas or the youuralls. putin is a political virtuoso. host: let's give alina a chance to take on a couple of them. guest: since the collapse of the soviet union there has been a lot of confusion. not just on the side of the general american public, about local leaders as to what is russia today. are they friends, potential partners, are they have a series to the united states trying to undermine the u.s. national interests around the world? has set in confusion our political leaders. the bush and obama administrations tried to have a reset with russia. every single time it did not work. it did not work primarily not because the united states wasn't genuine or we did not try to have a better relationship and solvspecific problems -- specific problems togethere. the r

united states? >> thank you for the opportunity to address that you this was in 2002, not 2007. it was 15 years ago that took place. it was during the time when the department of homeland security was being stood up. aftermath ofdiate 9/11. a lot has changed in 15 years. i'm enthusiastic about the future of the way this will be doing its function. >> i don't want my time to expire. do you believe the state department is committed to the rule of law and the national security of the united states? >> i absolutely do. the fact that even i was terrified by state incompetence and apathy toward a law enforcement proves how far this has progressed. hired some to fort -- support the transfer of these is to the new department of homeland security. a department that will be committed to the rule of law and the national security of united states. the mission is to provide life-sustaining assistance to those uprooted through multilateral systems, to build global partnerships, promote practices and military in r

forces would need an overwhelming response from the united states, not because the united states wants to go to war, but because it must underscore that it cannot accept a situation where it's armed forces and its allies would he subject to coercion or outright attacks. so bottom line is an attack on the united states, which would be utterly suicidal and the end of the regime, it is where kim may be looking for advantage on the peninsula and the region, and that is where we should have the focus in discussions with south korea and japan, and china. host: hollywood, florida. comment, it is beginning to look a lot like the u.s. should not have allowed , takenorea to continue it and control it to him about my question is we have to do something with this gentleman who appears to be a sociopath, at least mentally unbalanced, willing to kill anybody. he has murdered people. how do we mitigate this problem? there are at know least one-to nuclear submarines in his general area, and he can't really win, but sometimes madness has no logic to it, but does have a goal. how can we mitigate this pr

the united states never complains about them. they are not designated by the united states. they are sending terrorists through the territory. charlie: you do have to be careful about that but no one has proven they were sent by the saudi government. anybody proven iran?ng about know a court in new york condemned iran for participating in 9/11. fined $11 billion for participating in 9/11. you want me to buy this? a court in new york awarded $11 billion to the victims of 911 against iraq. you're telling me nobody has proven saudi arabia was behind it. familiar withot it. something you you are familiar with. banned citizens of six countries from coming to the united states. iranians are outstanding citizens. good physicians, good scientists. charlie: iranians had come to the united states and made huge contributions. they made a huge contribution. and so have immigrants. that's one of the values that the united states stands for. do you agree with that? dr. zarif: yeah, i do. why it iss mind-boggling for me that iranians have been singled out as one of the six countries in the

the united states is one of the largest carbon emissions. the fact that it has rejected international cooperation, with 197 nations signing the paris agreements, with 153 benefit case in's sends a negative message to many other nations. while these decisions give succor to the isolation theory, or the view that it is waning, i do not subscribe to other. the relative economic and military power of the united states and other powers have shifted in recent years. the fact is, the united states remains the dominant world power on virtually all measures. in my discussions with senior members of the trump administration, it is clear that they are well aware of the importance of continuing economic growth in this region to the world economy at large. peace and prosperity, and a system of international rules by which both can be maintained. our intention is to prosper. this is clearly in the national interest of the united states. much of the economic growth in our region is driven by the united states as an engine of innovation. a provider of the m

of the united states of america. duda and mr. donald trump. >> the president of the republic of poland, mr. andre duda. gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to welcome to warsaw, to welcome to poland, the president of the united states of america, mr. donald trump. with this isd visit in warsaw which is one of the first international visits paid by mr. president trump. reinforces our bond them a high quality of the alliance between poland and the united states. that wedemonstrates mutually assess each other as loyal partners of those who on many different areas including the area of security within the nato alliance. today, this was one of the topics of our discussion that we had during our meeting with mr. president followed by a plenary session of our two delegations. we talked about the presence of american soldiers in poland. we talked about strengthening security including the eastern flank of nato. we discussed generally the security situation in this part of europe. apart from that, we mentioned the situation in ukraine. we

united states. their conventional capability has been modernized significantly in the last 5-10 years. then you get into will, and that is a much more subjective, capability can do the math and added up but when you get into will or intent, that gets quite subjective. there you are dealing with a higher order of estimates and judgments. all we know for certain behavior is that russia has acted aggressively it certainly that's externally. they operate and try to undermine things like elections in european countries and other countries. we know there is a variety of cyber activity that goes on and a variety of nonmilitary direct action pressures that go on. a very sort of aggressive state. then you ask yourself why, why are they behaving like that and you will get all kinds of debate on all kinds of arguments and you can try to figure out how to handle it. i would argue that russia is a, the russian leadership is a purely rational actor, they operate off of traditional cost-benefit as they see it. rus

states is right in the middle of that you have a turkey a nato ally the united states is on the other side in the conflict in syria i mean if this is too much military involvement it actually limits their options in a way go ahead joe. i'm not sure i agree i think ok but the other way around that the u.s. is now looking for proxies the saudis and israel if they want to attack iran which they've said repeatedly they basically do. mamma but salmond in a pretty calm princes talked about bringing the war inside iran they need the united states this is their long standing goal is to control the united states to back their plans they don't have the military might to fight iran they might have the might to back. to back three months throughout the region particularly in syria but they can't take on iran without the united states coming on board i think that's what we saw on trump went to saudi arabia and to israel that they were lobbying him to do this eventually and it's very scary because trump might be someone who. go along and do it he seems reckless and as far as qatar goes you know i m

states over the diplomatic facilities that were closed late last year by the united states. president obama expelled several russian diplomats to the united states. russia did nothing at the time. now the indication from the kremlin is that patience is running out on that. president trump has tensions with china, as we've been talking about, over trade, over weapons sales to taiwan, over sanctions on a bank in china for not complying enough with sanctions on north korea. then you go into the bigger picture, president trump at odds with the world on climate change. you have president macron recently saying, you know, th ththat -- to paraphrase what president trump said about put america first, make america great again, he said make the world great again. then there are tensions with angela merkel over trade, the way he's criticized her policy toward refugees. from a president trump perspective going into this, he has a lot of tensions ahead of him. many leaders will look to him, and he will feel the pressure to try to gather consensus on what to do about north korea. as we se

this is clearly in the national interests of the united states. in fact, much of the economic growth in our region is driven by the u.s. as an engine of innovation, a provider of the main reserve currency, and with the deepest of financial markets. such dominance will not be challenged for the foreseeable future regardless of changes in relative gdp. america's vast and complex trade relationship with china is a major feature of the global economy and has grown dramatically over the past decade. understandably our region is watching closely to see how the relationship evolves under the trump administration. during the election campaign, president trump made strong statements about the u.s./china trade imbalance. it remains to be seen how he intends to respond in terms of policy decisions. australia has urged for any differences to be resolved through negotiation, as no one's interests would be served by any form of trade conflict. our productivity commission had just published a research paper on the cost of protectionism via tariff increases, or b

the election by forcing a sanctions decision on the president of the united states that makes it appear as if that view is now law secondly there are economic issues here there's an attempt to try and punish the russian economy even further and also to obstruct the development of economic links particularly energy links between russia and europe and these sanctions seem particularly designed to counter that by obstructing various russian pipeline projects notably the nord stream to project between russia and germany across the baltic and to make that very difficult ok i think ok ok let me go to make sure i mean this in a way this is kind of like sanctions or a different form of of politics and in a sense that this is kind of a declaration of war it's almost a declaration of the cold war two point zero you know the united states and russia have very few economic ties and that's unfortunate for the us speaker but then again it's very unfortunate for europe because they do have a lot of contacts here if i get the impression that the congress is in even really think this out because as alex

government would like it to do from the united states. the second circuit reversed it, they thought that it was microsoft and said at least according to the circuit, the only reach the data that is physically located within the united states. somehas been described by as a privacy victory. that for disagree with a moment. for the whole conversation about the robustness of the u.s. war authority, in this case the u.s. government accessed the data based on probable cause which is standardally higher than other places around the world. if the net consequence is the u.s. would like data located around the united states it needs to go to that foreign country and access it based on its own rules which may be less privacy protected. microsoft organizes it self anymore location-driven approach and was able to say that it is an ireland. other companies, not as much. able to say was not it was what the u.s. government wanted. itis fixed the problem but doesn't provide the information about where outside the united states. in some cases there may be

states could be at the table in order to make a determination as to what concessions the united states and south korea might make towards the north koreans. but unless we are sitting at a table, unless we are negotiating, we cannot have any progress that is meaningful in reducing this inevitable path that north korea is on towards having an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead on top that can threaten the mainland of the united states. >> so two things, senator. one of the main reasons why china and russia, one would think, want the united states to back away from other options and sit down at the table is potentially they can get the u.s. to lessen its presence in military drills and activities in the region which would be beneficial to them. the other question becomes, what makes you think that kim jong-un is a rational actor to negotiate with? so many past u.s. presidents, republicans and democrats, have had these negotiations. have resulted sometimes in a freeze, but then that has accelerated, and we are where we sit today. does some of that blame, sir, fall on

we made that very clear to the united states. we received reassurance from those i think the particular agency concerned that this information where it is shared will be properly protected in future. and we now regard that particular matter as closed. and it's important that it is closed off because there is a huge amount of intelligence sharing that is necessary when you're fighting terrorism. so it was unfortunate, but it's been dealt with. so far as lord dannen's remarks and concern, he's a former head of the army, i can reassure you we have no plan to reduce the size of the army down to 65,000. on the contrary, our manifesto commitment is to maintain the size of the armed forces including the ability of the army to fight at divisional level and indeed in the 2015 sdsr we are increasing the size of the royal navy and the royal air force. that we're not about cutting the army. >> well, secretary, thank you so much. this has been a rich and substantive discussion. and it's just a perfect reflection of the rich, deep and abiding

states and russia the united. in the west of what we could call it they do not necessarily have to be friends and i think it's their trajectories that show that they will not be friends because the west is. a post cultural postmodern environment now russia is a very conservative place and people like it bad way but it is perilous not to have some kind of understanding at least with russia in the west particularly with the united states because of so many issues that are happening in the world i think that is not clearly understood in particularly washington because it's groundhog day it's every day starts over and over again they're not thinking about the future go ahead and say well the point to understand about russia is first of firstly he's saying you can use superpower it has the capacity to destroy the united states just as the united states has the capacity to destroy russia and if they go to war with each other they will take down much of the world with them the russians are very conscious of this and thei

the united states. the imf treaty applies only to the united states and russia. countries on the european perimeter. and particularly of china for the freedom to deploy intermediate range missiles. moreover the lack of these missiles in russia's arsenal deprived rush of a potent tool to gain leverage as it always seeks to do. vladimir putin has resulted ambivalence in a simple way, cheating on the inf treaty. by state department accounts russia has been testing a new cruise missile that can strike western europe at least 2008, at least nine years. the obama administration warned the kremlin to cease-and-desist. the state department formally declared russia in violation of the treaty in 2014 and every year thereafter. no surprise that according to media reports russia has deployed two battalions of intermediate range cruise missiles. vladimir putin is eating his cake and getting in the habit too. russia remain secure in the european theater by the absence of us cruise missiles while vladimir putin developed a new missile that counteracts china and small countries

targeting united states person. in that situation, the legal procedures and protections that in that set of rules, would be the first sort of line of privacy defense if like. in order to make sure that the agreement is being lived up to, additional layer of oversight that is done on a bilateral basis under the agreement. mentioned briefly before. there are provisions where the united states would have the sure that the foreign government is not intentionally targeting u.s. persons. that they are indeed, minimizing those communications. that they have protocols in place and the practice is that is being done correctly. a provision that the whole agreement has to be reuped years.ive it's a sun set provision to make sure there's a robust oversight. if a's also provision provider receives piece of legal process from a foreign iternment, it could raise with the united states. there's a provision in there may says the united states block any particular order if it finds it is not in keeping with the agreement. it it came

great britain and the united states. to what extent do you think actually, you know, i think president trump goes to europe with a certain amount of disdain for europe. but isn't america being squeezed out of deals around the world because of the president's withdrawing america from trade packs and how much does that hurt america's security? >> i think the president and his team when they walked away from the trade agreements and the freedom trade agreement the european and the asians would have no alternative but to work with us on one-on-one trade agreements and it hasn't turned out that way. you really see merkel and macron being a counterpoint to trump right now in europe. they are opposing him on trade and certainly on climate change. they're not happy with his relatively, i would say, very weak policy towards russia. and this is, katty, for you and i as a brit and as an american, for the last 20 years we have seen it as the strongest polls in the west but it is really pairs and berlin and i worry about american cre

we disagree with the united states but we do not intervene against united states cooperating with the iraqi government. we have not intervene againsted that because we believe that's a decision that the iraq government should make. we may oppose it but it is their decision. >> rose: do you encourage the government of iraq to make sure that sunni, the immersion of the sunni and the islam do not be shut out from government so that they do not see what we have seen time after time. first allege -- al-qaeda and then isis come out -- >> exactly. we believe the iraqi government should be inclusive. >> rose: you encourage the iraqi government to do that. the maliki government did not do that and that was a very strong friend of iran. >> prime minister abadi is a strong friend of iraq. >> rose: true. >> every government in iraq thankfully has been a strong friend of iran and this is our advice to all of them. that iraq needs to be an inclusive government with all segments of the iraq population represented in the government. iran maintains extremely good relations with all segments of the ira

sanctions against the united states to punish the united states for its overthrow of the government of libya and the creation of chaos throughout the world we suffer from what we call american exceptionalism we apply a very different standard to the united states when the united states screws up around the world our motives are always pure but somehow we made a mistake but we're innocent but we have a very very different standard and that's that corrosive environment that we live in in the united states where we judge ourselves by completely different stand than we judge everybody else and unless we begin to get past that we can understand how the world looks to anybody else from the standpoint of the rest of the world russia might be a problem in certain areas but the main threat to world peace over and over again in every survey around the world this is the united states the united states is viewed internationally as the main threat to world peace americans don't know that americans are very limited very parochial and they don't have a sense of how we are perceived in the world or

charlie: the united states and president trump in this case, believe that russia and the united states can work together in the interest of changing syria. he said that. do you believe that iran and russia and america, can work together? to change syria? to stop the war and heal the country and rebuild the country? mr. javad sharif: i think everybody should work together in order to end this tragedy in syria. charlie: but are you prepared and would like to work with the united states and russia? mr. javad sharif: we were a member of the international syrian support group, which included united states and russia. we did not hesitate -- it also included countries in the region. you would not be able to do this without the support and assistance of other countries in the region. i believe you will not be able to end the conflict in syria without saudi arabia or without turkey, without qatar, without egypt. or without iran. most important link, you will not be able to end the conflict in syria without the syrians. at the end of the day, the syrians should decide. the rest of us should faci

united states? >> currently, senator, i absolutely do. >> you went on the same hearing to say the fact -- this is a quote. the fact that even i was terrified by state's incompetence and apathy towards law enforcement proves just how far the department has progressed. i urge the congress to support the transfer of the visa issuing function from state's bureau of consular affairs to the new department of homeland security, a department that will be committed to the rule of law and the national security of the united states. now, prm's mission is to provide life sustaining assistance to those who are persecuted,astasi promote best practices and ensure humanitarian principles are integrated into national and foreign policy. for example, migration is an important issue in countries like turkey and iraq. so do you believe that the department of homeland security, which is notoriously bloated with a whole host of dysfunctional components, should be responsible still to have the visa, the very essence of th

but it is the president of the united states. we should not listen to his word scratch mark we should not consider this policy? when he says "travel ban" we should ignore it? when he says he thinks he may have london is pathetic, we -- the mayor of london is pathetic, we should not take that to heart? this is not a way to lead the greatest country in the world. in my view, yes, we can make america even greater. but we do not have to make america great again. it already is. moderator: thank you ambassador. mike, the same question. you said a few moments ago that the previous president reached out to our enemies and distance ourselves from our friends. are we distancing ourselves from our friends now in europe? michael had no. we are engaged in a recalibration in europe that is a continuation of a negotiation that has been going on for a very long time. the bush administration repeatedly raised consistent and energetic that they had failed to commit the 2% of their gdp for defense. the obama administration also repeated it consiste
