15 units. the majority are part of the housing and urban development, veteran affairs, supportive affairs program. following the inspection, planning department initiated proceedings against all properties with each found to be in violation of planning code section 171 for the unauthorized conversion for uses. at the conclusion of the enforcement process, notices of violations were issued. building permit applications were filed to legalize the number of units permitted at each property, as well as one additional unit through the program 207.3. additional aa aal units would b proposed to be removed. the filing of the d.r.s that are now before you. the removal of the unit requires traditional youth authorization. 317-c4, when there is no path for legalization, conditional use authorization is not required. in october, 2016, mr. frederick bryant filed applications on all projects. the stated reasons for filing were to prevent any tenant displacement that would result from the removal of the units

these units can be saved for $40,000 per unit. it's up to you to decide if you want to deal with no kitchen, you get to stay. i hope the city is good enough to say that. i hope we're big enough to say that. go ahead. >> anyway, these are decent units. i have gone through every one of them. there's two issues, exiting through the garage, easily addressed with sprinklers, administrative bolt and that can be solved and one building in the back that needs to be torn down. it is being torn down. everything else is solvable. >> i'll save comments for rebuttal. >> i don't think we're doing rebuttal. i think we have given ample time to both on this. given that you're not -- this is not really rebutting anything. >> may i have 30 seconds to finish? >> sure. >> thank you. i just want to make clear that there are two options before the commission today. one is to deny them, or remove the extra stoves and the tenants can stay. i thank you for your time today. we do believe a cu is required for the process under ordinance 33-16. i want to tell

one of them, conspiracy against united states. basically the fraud in the united states. the other is defrauding u.s. banking. the other one is money laundering. the fourth one is -- will come back to me. about 75 years they are asking for. for reza zarrab. but experts say actually if the judge counts every transaction in this money laundering it could be really, really long, which apparently is the -- how these things go. so we are looking at maybe more than a century of jail sentence. all these allegations, of course. reza zarrab was not convicted in turkey. and dismissed his charges. and the police and the prosecutors who launched those investigations also dismissed and i think many of them either fled or in jail. and here 20 months we have seen dozens of pretrial conferences, hearings. but we have not so far had a person, convicted person that we can say. so these are allegations. >> svante, johan alluded to the background of this of zarrab's arrest in 2013. can you tell us the context for that? >> sure. for me the case of reza zarrab is very symptom mick of turkish-a

wanted to be friends with the united states. who believed that most of the problem was actually on the irn side, not the american side. these are people, they're running tech companies in iran -- iran has its own uber. i can assure you if you go to their offices, there are not pictures of any hardline ayatollahs on their walls, there's pictures of steve jobs on their walls. these are people we risk losing. >> if trump is emboldening the hardliners, potentially inside the country and to your point about the young people in a healthy sense of skepticism, i guess the question is, what happens when that skepticism turns to cynicism. >> that will be dangerous that will have turned away from the united states. this is significant loss for both iran and the united states. part of the reason my book is called losing an enemy. because it paved the way for a path in which they could lose each other as enemies, if they continued on the path of diplomacy. when is the last time the u.s. lost an enemy. we may be able to resurrect that opportu

but you will be seeing things of countries that have been treating the united states and the united states worker, and companies, because i view the companies as an extension of the worker, but have been treating our companies, our country, and our workers very unfairly. you will be seeing that the united states will take very, very strong action. it's already started. but most of the legal foundation has now been done. and you're going to see a very big difference and it will happen very soon. because the united states has been treated very, very unfairly when it comes to trade. thank you very much. >> translator: regarding japan, defense equipment, a lot of them we purchase from the united states. north korean situation is becoming very tough. the asia pacific security situation is becoming very tough. we qualitively and quantitatively have to enhance our defense capability. as the president mentioned, f-35 is a case in point. we have other plans to purchase from the united states. egis vessels, the quality and the quantity must be enhanced. in that process, we will be buying more from t

beneficiaries in the united states she explained to me the reason why she came to the united states was because of the civil war in incredible violence and a lot of inhumane treatment of dora nationals and she had to cross multiple country. through various. train airplane to arrive to the united states in one thousand nine hundred six to provide her family. with a better life. just that this is a very compassionate program and what was the politics like at the time key remember do you recall whether lawmakers thought that this was a good thing that the u.s. could do some ava's other countries that was suffering it could have been from a natural disaster it could be from a political disaster. well it actually was never meant to help people who were suffering it was meant to help people who happened to be in the united states at a time of a catastrophic event in their home country to not have to return at the time that they were supposed to or to not be deported if they were found by u.s. immigration authorities so it's really not a humanitarian program as much as just. a way to put off d

the united states will also do its part. we are also committed to reforming our development finance institutions so that they better incentivize private sector investment in your economies, and provide strong alternatives to state-directed initiatives that come with many strings attached. the united states has been reminded time and time again in recent years that economic security is not merely related to national security. economic security is national security. [applause] pres. trump: it is vital to our national strength. we also know that we will not have lasting prosperity if we do not confront grave threats to security, sovereignty, and stability facing our world today. earlier this week, i addressed the national assembly in seoul, south korea and urged every responsible nation to stand united in declaring that every single step the north korean regime takes toward more weapons is a step it takes into greater and greater danger. the future of this region and its beautiful people must not be held hostage to a dictator's

i think the united states has to be a force there. i don't think united states can write off syria. i think the united states has to be a force in working with the opposition and working with the forces that are there and in making clear that the united states is not going anywhere. we are not going to surrender syria to russia and iran. we need to be there and play a role in working with forces to try to ultimately be a check point if nothing else to force some kind of negotiation. >> as far as i can recollect many years ago he put on a high nuclear alert and the russians with drew from the middle east for almost 30 years, but then they marched right back into syria and the obama administration did absolutely nothing, said nothing, did nothing. so i guess putin as usual is testing the envelope to see how far he can go and he stayed there. how influential do you think russia is in the middle east right now? >> russia, the reason which is this is another flash point which is that we are in a new chapter of the cold war with russia and what putin is doing. you know, putin in many ways

the united states turns its back on those in need -- if the united states turns its back on hose in need, what have we the people become? and with that, mr. speaker, i yield back to the gentlelady islands.virgin ms. plaskett: thank you so much for that -- the information that you shared with us. but more particularly, for causing us to reflect on who we are as americans and what we stand for. and reminding this congress and this house how we have a responsibility to those in need. that with greatness comes responsibility. to whom much is given, much is required. and that requirement of us, particularly our -- to our neighbors, and we know that haiti is in fact our neighbors. and we have a responsibility to be there for them. thank you so much for all that you do and how often you are here for the congressional black caucus special order hour, to give us information, to cause us time to reflect. i'm extremely appreciative of that, mr. payne. i want to thank you so much for all that you do for the congressional black caucus. your steady reliability in being there to support the issues that

pakistan traditionally seen as an important partner with the united states but president trump recently adopted a different time in pakistan and often gives safe haven to agents of chaos violence and terror. pakistan those sees things differently in fact they say there are no more safe havens and are now looking east towards china for a new economic relationship that may change the power dynamics in a volatile region. this week on talk to al-jazeera pakistan's minister of interior . discusses his country's position on the international stage and why he thinks america can learn from pakistan's experience in dealing with security issues. minister thank you so much for your time thank you for talking to answers thank you it strikes me that we are now three months into the current era in pakistan if you like since i was very resigned and mr shahid about to became prime minister how would you say pakistan has recovered from that it was a shock when it happened the pentagon papers came out of nowhere and suddenly now it looks like he would actually lost his term unlike so many other prime min

and don't test the united states of america. all the time we have left. we'll always be fair and balanced. lau laura ingram picks it up here. >> thanks for joining us tonight. news is breaking all over the world. we have you covered from every angle. you just saw president trump wrapping that you major speech in south could re-a we will have analysis soon. he's heading to china. this could be the most important part of the asian trip. we will have reaction, a lot on the line there. and in the virginia governor's race, why the republican, ed gillespie, couldn't get it done. he was on last night with us, could not get it done. the left keeps keeps disparaging the people of faith. power of prayer is a threat to them. first, the latest on sunday's mass shooting in

unit 1605 gets resold. the money coming out of the building is now clean. the proceeds of a legitimate real estate deal. the only way to trace its dirty origins would be to go back to the beginning, and identify the original buyer. and that should be relatively easy. but not in panama. our investigation led us here to panama's public registry. after going through a lot of paperwork a pattern started to emerge. tushs out many of the condo units aren't owned by individuals but panamanian corporations, often with generic names like ocean trump 1605 investment corporation. so why would someone use a corporation to buy a condo? often to hide the identity of the real buyer. >> one of the things we, with these shell companies is, you can simply transfer the company, the buyer's share, to anybody you want. >> reporter: you set up a shell company. nobody knows who's the actual owner, and then you buy the unit. get a piece of paper saying you own the unit. >> you're the owner. >> reporter: and do what you want with t

it has been a disaster for the united states. last week 42 south korean companies announce their intent to invest in 47 projects worth $17 billion in the united states, and 24 companies announce plans to purchase $58 billion in american goods and services. from south korea, milani and i traveled to china where, as in japan and south korea we were greatly honored by the splendor of our reception. our trip included the first official dinner held for a foreign leader in the forbidden cities since the founding of the modern china where we enjoyed a very productive evening hosted by the president and his wonderful wife. during our visit, he pledged to faithfully implement united nations acute council resolutions on north korea and to use his great economic influence over the regime to achieve our common goal of a d nuclear eyes to stream peninsula. present she recognizes that a nuclear north korea is a great threat china and we agreed we would not accept a so-called freeze for freeze agreement like those that have consistently failed

nations relief at the united nations. motorcycle will provide support directly to persecuted communities through usaid. [applause] >> laura: now usaid a deeply entrenched government bureaucracy seems to be dragging its feet on the trump-pence agenda. a spokesperson told fox news that the next step is a workshop on proposals and that it won't take place until january. by the way that's well into the frigid winter months when these populations are most vulnerable. and the agency's announcement said nothing about cushion off funding to the u.n. why are parts of the government defying the president wants or the. joining me is brian back bib republican in texas. here in washington nina shae international human rights lawyer for over 30 years and former obama state department official david tafuri who just returned from refugee camp in iraq. congressman, let's start with you on this. because when i first heard about this, i thought this can't be. but you have vice president pence announcing that we are now going to be sending a

[applause] the failure by the united states in december of last year to veto the united nations security council resolution 2334. imagine a resolution stating that the western wall is illegally occupied territory and unthinkably -- in my lifetime and in the lifetime of my parents and those that i will dear -- unthinkably the united states abstained and permitted that resolution to pass. [crowd boos] a day later the secretary of state attempt to justify this outrage only compounded the problem and revealed a stunning reduction of america's most didn't middle eastern ally. i hope you agree with me. you turn the page since the dark days of last december.

the japanese ambassador to the united states. also the commander of the united states forces in japan. just some of the folks that are greeting the president as he makes his way now into the hangar, and then makes his way up to the stage itself. hallie jackson still with us. i hope. and hallie, why japan first? why was japan decided to be the first stop in his 12-day trip? hallie, if you're still with me, why japan first on this 12-day trip? how did they decide at the white house this was going to be the first key location to go to? >> okay in fact it sounds like we are having some technical difficulties. we'll stay with hallie once we reconnect. >> i'm sorry. >> did you hear me there, hallie? >> yeah. i have you. you can imagine with everybody using their cell phones, it gets to be a little tricky. it's also pretty loud. >> absolutely. i was asking why japan first? why was this put as number one on the 12-day trip? >> reporter: it's a signal to the rest of the region, the president and the united states has a close alliance with

so the agreement was i had a week to sell 100 units. >> how did you sell 100 units in a week? >> it was easy to sell in fact, you know, when his name. >> the name of the most famous man in real estate who was also the building's salesman and chief. >> one of the great things about panama, not only the beautiful building, but the incredible views. >> the name, trump, was magic. and he came down, donald trump came down. he has a great presence. he's a fabulous marketing person. >> but according to ventura, it was ivanka trump who handled all the details. what kinds of things did ivanka do? >> meeting with the architects, deciding the finishings of the project, the prices, when it's going to be released, when it's not going to be released. everything related to the project because according to to the contract, trump organization has to approve everything because of his name on the project anyway. >> so it sounds like the trump organization specifically ivanka was deeply involved. >> yes. i mean, she was a person responsible for the project. >> ventura who had a small real estate

the united states will maintain our long-standing special relationship with the united kingdom but at the same time maintain a strong relationship with eu regardless of the outcome of brexit. we will not attempt to influence the negotiations, but we urge the eu and uk to move this process forward swiftly and without unnecessary acrimony. we offer an impartial hand of friendship to both parties. the next chapter of european history must be written in europe's own words. as i mentioned at the beginning, 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of america's entry into world war i. this november marks centennial of another world event in history, the beginning of the russian revolution. the soviet union collapsed 26 years ago. a few symbols and phrases associated with decades of soviet rule endure in the english language. the gulag, the five-year plan, the iron curtain, the berlin wall. these few words, almost universally understood capture bitter and brutal history of communist rule in europe and russia and they remind us of what can happen if they fail to defend core principles of liberty and s

tradeo announced that will deals create jobs in the united states. from china i flew to the city of ng.ying -- da na i spoke to a major gathering of business leaders. ofreminded the world america's historic world and the pacific. history, iis proud offered relationships in which indo pacific nations can prosper and grow together. i announced united states is ready to make bilateral trade deals with every nation in the region that wants to be our partner in fair and reciprocal trade. we will never again turn a blind , economicating aggression or anything else from countries that profess a believe in open trade but do not follow the rules or live by its principles themselves. trade abuse has harmed the united states and its workers but no more. no more. we will take every trade action necessary to achieve the fair and reciprocal treatment the united states has offered to the rest of the world for decades. my message has resonated. the 21 aipac leaders for the first time ever recognized the importance of fair and reciprocal trade, recognize the to addre

states as a whole as your own statistics showed is actually starting to unite against these types of crimes we saw people were protesting at the airports when this was happening we saw how the courts have shot down president trump's efforts to institutionalize discrimination against muslims and middle easterners through the travel in the muslim bound for instance so i think the elements inside of the american society that that actually can battle this and i can bring about a much more tolerant society definitely are there i think actually they are having momentum on their side but the reason why we're seeing this is because they don't have the presidency on their side right now and then there's the other side of islamophobia the fact that it is brought up any time someone says anything critical about islam. do you feel that the non muslim majority has concerns and fears aren't being addressed properly since people who raised their voices are branded bigots and so. i'm not sure if that's the case i don't know if i agree with your premise but i do believe that you have the scenario in

certaino do not and be can bee united states -- certain that the united states will no longer turn a blind eye to violations, cheating or economic aggression. those days are over. tolerate thenger audacious theft of intellectual property. we will confront the destructive practices of forcing businesses to surrender their technology to the state, and forcing them into joint ventures in exchange for market access. we will address the massive subsidizing that put private competitors out of business, happening all the time. aswill not remain silent american companies are targeted by state affiliated actors for economic gain, whether through cyberattacks, corporate espionage, or other anti-competitive practices. all nations toge speak out loudly when the principles of fairness and reciprocity are violated. we know it is in america's interest to have partners route this region that are thriving, prosperous, and dependent on no one. we will not make decisions for the purpose of power or patronage. we will never ask our partners to surrender their sovereignty, intellectual property, or to li

the united states has rejected that. it's clear from this press conference, that even though president trump is expressing a willingness to negotiate and saying he sees movement, i don't see it, but he says he sees movement doesn't want to tell us, that's okay. there's still a lot of space. the american president and south korea president are not on the same page, but they are closer than they were before we heard from them today. that's interesting. we call say it's a positive development. if we believe the president is talking about something real that he sees and not trying to claim progress -- >> true they're in the same book but that's because the president is standing 35 miles from the border of north korea. per the first part, the success, do you see any success? >> no, i don't see any success. >> any progress? >> i don't see any progress. i don't think anyone sees any progress. there's progress in the sanctions. sanctions are getting tougher. it was interesting to watch president trump praise chinese president xi

so building 28,000 units was barely a blip. the low-income house being tax credit helped rebuild some units, but it came nowhere close to solving the housing crisis in new orleans. market rates in new orleans are 35% higher after the storm and 37% of households are paying more than half of their income in housing. so now 12 years later another disaster has hit, and we're going to try to address this crisis, but the housing burden for extremely low-income families in texas and the major metro areas of texas is among some of the worst in the nation. that is before the crisis, before the actual impact of hurricanes, texas was already at a crisis point. texas has only 29 affordable units for every 100 low-income households looking for those options. houston is the third worst in the country for housing availability for extremely low-income people. and now families from florida to puerto rico are going to also be finding a very difficult situation. expanding the tax credit could help, but we have to do more than just expand the tax

is absolutely essential for the united states to lead. nikki you haley, said i could call you, unless u.n.,s. speaks at the either at the beginning to start the conversation or at the end to summarize, or sometimes in the middle, nothing happens. i'm very concerned in terms of how we project our leadership, how we explain to the american people that nothing works without us and there are certain sacrifices that have to be made to have that leadership role, but we don't do it alone. about the workg that is alone. it is engaged. there are incredible challenges out there that you see everyday, that we used to, but i think american leadership is crucial, and how to explain it to the americans. >> i think i have an interesting story, in terms of when i first got there, we always we had issues, but the one that was defining was when the president made the decision to hit syria. after the chemical weapons. when he made that decision, the imber oc f calls and emails received from country saying, it is so good to see america lead again was amazing

both ourselves and the united kingdom and the united kingdom they will lose out to. all twenty seven member states. i don't think that it says in the interest of neither side. contemplate this matter they shall have to make all the effort necessary to leach agreements but your country along with spain and ireland has been actually allowed to talk directly to united kingdom just for the base just for the basis so you can't really affect the whole issue through that channel. we are united that the twenty seven as i have said to you before about this meaning of solidarity between the member states this applies on this case as well so after breck's it happened which came as a shock for at the european union members there is a lot of talk in most european leader about multi-speed europe which would actually mean that countries who want to integrate tighter they have to move faster and whoever can't or doesn't want can just lack behind where do you see cyprus in this process no first of all in order to agree on this principle unanimity is needed we are not against this con

he's now president of the united states. who can stop the president of the united states? i don't know. we all thought ivanka trump, his daughter, late 30s daughter could do that. apparently she can't. >> or even john kelly. the general would come in -- >> i was told today that believe it or not john kelly has done more than anybody realizes. it could be a whole lot worse had john kelly not intervened on a number of occasions that we don't even know about. >> some intelligence officials, james clapper, john brennan we are former director of the cia, even raised questions about his fitness for office. >> it's troubling to have experts like that come forward with those kinds of concerns. nobody wants to think that the president of the united states is unfit to actually hold the office. i'm certainly not in a position to judge one way or the other, but i can tell you as a former naval office and working at the state department, what you want out of that oval office is you want solidity, right? you want firmness. you want an openness it different ideas and to transparency. and

united states. i mean, money -- let's a money making machine here. however, the lodge pick change when is they incorporated special forces of the mexican army into a business to protect certain cartel to protect a certain where a lot of drugs were pass by the city -- [inaudible conversations] corridor, and like this new logic of military station people that were not like necessarily drug traffickers that were involved in military operation at some point so the viciousness and the level of violence you know -- you know was completely -- and they use violence because of this new logic of extrorgs, i mean, they have to exercise violation to others to make you -- to make you pay extortion fee because they needed to make -- the violent approaches credible so if you don't pay extortion fee i'll kill you and kill your family and i'm able to do that so i throw and i show buddies in order to continue the operation. it's part of the logic of a market being -- like aria in a business. right you utilize violenc

it would merge a two bedroom two bath unit with a two and a half bath unit. the stairway between the units to create one four bedroom that occupies the ninth, half of the tenth and the penthouse. a point of clarification, the staff report states the rental unit is vacant but it is occupied by the owner. in addition to the conditional use, the commission has to consider other criteria. it would not eliminate housing considered affordable, it would remove a unit subject to the residential rent stablezation and go against the mayor's executive directive that all housing, especially rental housing should be preserved. the merging of the two units, considered separately would not be in the best interest of the community. the department has received one correspondence in support and two in opposition. after analyzing all aspects, the department recommends disapproval, it will result in a net loss of rental housing stock and merge two units that are affordable and result in one merged unit that is not affordable to a large part of the population. it's not needed for

the first of these is a recognition that north korea is not just a threat to united states. in the old days you would hear this is really a problem between north korea and the united states. everyone acknowledges china specially that this is a problem between north korea and the world. the second thing that is really critical is the universal acknowledgment that denuclearization of the peninsula is the only acceptable outcome. no more suspension versus suspension in the third thing is the sick knowledge meant that it's in its interest obviously but china has a great deal of economic power. 90% of the trade of these two flows through china so the implementation enforcement of the u.n. resolution holds promise but there's more that can be done beyond that and i think it's time for nations to do more beyond what has been called for in u.n. security council resolutions. >> two questions, want to follow-up on a a previous question. if you determine whether there will be a bilateral meeting with russian president latimer are put in? >> it has not been determined that we will annou

the united states gets tarnished with this. people believe the united states is involved in it. and i think it breeds, type of resentment that, that, also ends up breeding possible potential terrorists. so you have -- you know, a self-defeating sort of loop that goes on with the operations you. may be creating more terrorists than you are actually -- eliminating. >> one of the things that lead to that, that suspicion, maybe even that reality, nick of creating additional terrorists is when the country in question feels like the u.s. has become an occupier. why saw that in iraq. afghanistan, and those are two of most recent countries that come to mind. but has this -- has this militarization of africa, risen to the level yet where there are certain places where, the citizens, the residents are starting to feel like u.s. has become an occupying force? i think we are running the dane danger of that. some times, dozens of u.s. outposts on the continent. american people are generally completely ignorant of these. but people in the nations know about them. they realize there is a forei

very much annoyed by the united states refusing to extradite. him from who he believes is our enemy from america so russia is using that so this is a kind of defensive push whether it's trying to push russia's strategic defensive winds as far away from russia from the cork as us deeper into the middle east into the mediterranean which is a very strong tradition the russian strategy coming from times of the czars actually but so how do you syrians feel about russia basically being given the go ahead to be in the diplomatic driver's seat when it comes to peace in the country i don't think russia is given that russia. is trying to impose itself on the problem and it seems that they have we've given the go ahead haven't them and said to me the u.s. has been is nobody else has told bennett charge. you are right that americans have been passive. they have been sitting in the back seat but we don't know they now are trying to take in the north east of syria and have some bases there and they already don't and we don't know what's going to happen with.

it's not just about the united states. it's also about tens of millions of people potentially coming under threat in south korea and japan. so that threat has been there now for a while. and, frankly, south korea, seoul, has been under a very effective deterrent, shall we say, long before north korea ever had a nuclear explosion. we need to have a broader picture of the whole security context. let me ask you this, which is more of a philosophical question than a direct practical diplomacy question, but now that you are out of the administration and free to say what you really think, and now that you are heading up this nuclear initiative organisation, threat initiative organisation, do you yourself believe that one day, the united states should commit notjust to nuclear non—proliferation but to the abolition of nuclear weapons? the nobel peace prize has been given to a group who are fundamentally committed to what has become a sort of un treaty—based notion that one day, we will get to a point where all nations sign up

united kingdom, and russia guaranteeing ukraine' easte ukraine's territory. i think kim jong-un looks at this and says nuclear weapons are the only way to guarantee the survival of my regime. >> then kurt an dedersen and a k at his book, "shofantasyland: h america went haywire." >> that's true of science or that's true of whatever. in america, we had so dely ji delegitimized all those gate keepers and gone to an extreme of liberty and democracy that your opinion, your belief, your hunch, your feeling in your gut is equal to or superior to anybody's fact. >> the attack in manhattan, bob gates, and kurt andersen when we continue. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by the following: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >>> we begin tonight with a cbs evening news and the developing story of the attack in lower manhattan yesterday. >> that attack left 8 people dead and 12 injured. sayfullo saipov

it claims frequently that the united states or the united states and its allies are the ones who are militarizing the south china sea when we conduct freedom of navigation operations. - the chinese see it as "well, you americans, "after consolidating your continental land mass "at the end of the 19th century, "went on to strategically dominate the caribbean, "the greater caribbean, so these seas are our caribbean. "why should we be any different than you?" - when china is told that it has been aggressive, its answer is that, no, china has showed extraordinary restraint. - now one thing that i know will contribute to maintaining regional peace and stability is a constructive relationship between the united states and china. - [narrator] in 2011, president obama announced the pivot to asia, a re-allocation of diplomatic and military resources to the region. - we've always been interested in asia. we've always had a strong relationship with asia. i think the rebalance has been an effort by the administration to say, "look, we're gonna put our focus on asia. "asia's become more important

states does when the united states is serious about something we put soldiers on it we put money on it that's exactly what's happening here and your general president tweets a lot including foreign policy and also the military issues well i get my orders from the military chain of command course the president is their commander in chief but that's not how we issue orders over i don't speak about when orders i speak about his opinions about. all of the things he is in communication with the word and the things i also connected to your job or my experience over the last several months is that all of our allies have taken a look at it as they've made in the judgment to a new administration they see what we're doing and so i hear i hear almost zero concern from any of our allies any more about you know as united states committed in europe because they see what we are doing and again that's that's the manifestation of u.s. policy is what we're doing and that's what i'm concerned about this is an understanding which is one possibility to see the word the other one is still that he's the c

between 1979 and 1993, those 14 years, united states lost 2.7 million manufacturing jobs. and the 14 years between 1994 and 2007 the united states lost 2.7 million manufacturing jobs, same amount, the trajectory's been the same. - [narrator] new trade deals are now under consideration by us law makers. the trans-pacific partnership, or tpp, would be a free trade agreement between the us and 11 other pacific nations. - it's a trade agreement that would eliminate most not all, but most trade barriers among the united states, japan, and 10 other countries in the asia pacific region, including some quite low wage economies like vietnam. - it's not just a pure lowering of trade barriers, it's a sort of negotiated withdrawal from our protectionist perspective. and it makes great politics to argue that trade agreements like that are gonna hurt american workers. they're also gonna benefit american consumers. - who will benefit from tpp? we've done calculations and simulated the effect and what we find for instance is that for the united states in the aggregate our incomes would ri
