states than they import to the united states. they run out of american imports for tariffs. they are more exposed to our market than we are to theirs in that sense. so they have to look for other ways to retaliate. they can go for a much higher level of tariffs and they can really go back to companies or industries. general matters, apple, they make most of their profits in china. and china has various ways to make that business far harder for specific american corporations. china has been very hesitant to do that so far because it hurts china as well. it makes china seem like a bad pla place. china could, for. president trump wants to see a healthy stock mark. they want their design off the table for the 2020 elections. both sides want to wrap it up but neither donald trump nor xi jinping can afford to look weak. >> thank you very much for taking my call. i'm not an economist, but i was just wondering, no one seems to mention, what impact does china's erode initiative have on the economy, and also, china is prepared to open an a

trump of thet united states, the floor is yours. pres. trump: prime minister abe, the first lady and i are profoundly honored to turn to this very beautiful nation as japan's first state guests following the enthronement of his majesty, the emperor. on behalf of the united states, we want to think the imperial family for this gracious invitation and warm welcome. it was really wonderful. melania and i are thrilled to be back in the land of the rising sun. it is a true privilege to take part in the splendor of this historic moment and to witness an ancient japanese tradition as you begin the new imperial era. we look forward to seeing the new emperor continue his father's extraordinary legacy. yesterday, malala you and i were delighted to join you -- melania and i were delighted to join you at a sumo tournament. always wanted to see a sumo tournament. so true. they are bigger and stronger than i even thought. very impressive. a new national arena where i presented the first ever u.s. president's cup to the sumo grand champion. that was som

for the united states government and politics exam? saturday at 9:00 eastern, a live discussion with high school government teachers in lincolnshire, illinois. .> our question is >> it is one of the words that our students struggled with. the idea is if you are trying to get a big bill passed, you have some quid pro quo, this for that. sometimes we call it your marks and if you have that, you will get more supportive votes. >> watch the cram for the exam on saturday 9:00 eastern on c-span. up next, house speaker nancy pelosi with her weekly news conference discussing the democratic legislative agenda and attorney general william barr. she is followed by house majority leader mccarthy. ms. pelosi: good morning, everyone. yesterday was quite a day. i lost sleep after watching over and over again the testimony of the attorney general of the united states. how sad it is. how sad it is for us to see the top law enforcement officer in our country misrepresenting, withholding the truth from the congress of the united states. i think it's -- a

in the united states. i suspect, although i cannot prove it, one reason abortion remains so controversial in the united states is that it was introduced judicially, i.e., by a method which relegated the wid wider principal debates to americans. instead it is a candidate for the supreme court with results that were apparent in the indignified party and procedures in the most recent hearings. in his first inaugural address in 1861, abraham lincoln drew attention to the implications of filling gaps in the constitution by judicial decision. his words are very well known. the candid citizen, he said, must convince that if the policy of the government on vital questions are affecting the whole of people is to be relatively fixed by decisions. they resign their government into the hands of that evident tribunal. lincoln had in mind dread scott who decided that they were not easily made decisions. a nation cannot hope to accommodate divisions among its people unless its citizens actively participate in the process

states supplying lethal weapons to ukraine we have the united states going to the south china sea as remarkably in the middle of trade negotiations here we have a hyper aggressive foreign policy but where is the anti-war movement other than places like this and people like yourselves go ahead medea in washington. unfortunately i think people are so consumed by domestic issues and there are so many important issues in the mainstream media in this country is super hyper focused on domestic issues and on partisan issues and there is very little coverage of what's going on in the world i think for the most part people are unaware of all of these global wars that are still going on 2 decades afterwards and the new threats that are happening so we have an educated public and those who are educated in terms of being active and wanting to get involved tend to be involved in issues related to the environment to the terrible issues of racism. the issues around things like homophobia is. i'm a phobia and partisan politics ok but walter is the lack of knowledge the ignorance an intentional ploy

and that is that the united states involvement in this war is clearly unconstitutional. now i hear many of my republican friends claim that their strict constitutionalists. well, if you are a strict constitutionalists, voting to override trump's veto should be a no-brainer, because this war has not been authorized by congress, is unconstitutional. let me remind my colleagues who may have forgotten what is in the united states constitution. article one section eight states clearly, and i quote, congress shall have power to declare war, end of quote, while the president has the authority over the conflict before once it has been declared. the founding fathers day the power to authorize military conflicts to congress, the branch most accountable to the people. mr. president, under the war powers act of 1973, the assignment of a member of united states armed forces to, quote, demand, courtney, participate in the movement of or a company can end quote,du another countries military during a war constitutes the introduction of the united states into a conflict. our military inv

said that the government of the united states is. doing propaganda on its own people is a good thing so the corporate media in the united states has been totally discredited through russia gate but now they're just doing that thing where they hop on another horse and just keep writing it as hard as they can so that's why you're seeing articles like this that's why you see him being so wildly inconsistent it's because these are actual opinions about security of the united states or who's meddling in our elections we know it's meddling in our elections this is about ripping up the security state this is about another cold war this is about trillions of dollars to me how much impact this going to have time magazine it's a venerable publication no and also though for its very critical line towards moscow saying that has had mr putin on the cover many many times how much weight you think this piece is really going to carry especially with policymakers. you know they live in i can't really tell you that i mean i i i'm surprised that this k

to the united states are larger than the united states i mean trying to cripple one of the biggest economies in the world with an upward trajectory is a tall order i think you need more than just tariffs if you want to cripple economy i think you know what i'm getting at go ahead fred i think james have the right in terms of some of the i think will be president trump and you know his close associates trying to start this confrontation with another country which is china however you know all of the things between united's and china affects the whole world in terms of trade as well so you know they can try. even while we goes bankrupt it will leave $100.00 over 180000 very capable employees and they will start up tents of companies like the hallway and will be competing again so busy i think you know we have to realize ringback that this one is a very very complicated war it's not a very simple one just situation ok james i mean looking at western press reports see china walked away from the deal but if you look at the details of the deal that was being proposed by the trump administration th

oh by the united states to taiwan always fall on the deaf ear but the point is. what is a real use of office so to taiwan the men of china is becoming stronger and stronger no matter how many weapons to taiwan with by their would not be useful. was the scenario i believe the taiwanese. is not to really buy weapons they're trying to buy you sure it's. sure is that could be filled with american blood. sure it's not a could not to really guard he's a safety so what. is the safety of the taiwanese people their safety and security come from good relationship with them and then china that is where the security lie and even economically dependent so heavily upon men and china i know we have extended the good will time and again if you compare the previous. and the current to us r.t. you would find the difference so there are security and it won't be. across a straight utilizing. the trust that china taiwan. now at the moscow conference on international security minister of 80 said that china is strongly against the taiwan travel act that the united states adopt it is a

this is your grandkid we've come to the navajo nation the largest native nation in the united states he said there's twelve forty thousand people that when in this little bit you cover. and that's based on the u.s. census from two thousand. surveys more now than that where you know if i get a call. you know that's a good hour after i get. the navajo nation stretches across three states new mexico arizona and utah. and its police force is spread thin we do investigations we try to get as much done right then and there but sometimes we. we need to go back and do follow ups and try to go back and visit people find people but then were stowed on a regular patrol duty on a given night like this we're just going to go from call the call to call. another factor is that tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-native americans for all crimes aside from domestic violence a recent change but beyond that they also have limited sentencing power even over members of their own nation for major crimes including homicide assault and kidnapping what this means is that addressing violent crime is prima

united states. senate committee on foreign relations have just entered into negotiations further negotiations with the intelligence agencies to get the to get more information on that look there's there's there's nobody i hope you're not thinking that there's somebody who that is soft on this the thinks that this is all right this is not all right the saudi arabia is a strong ally as are saying that but we heard the president say maybe he did it maybe didn't there. look i'm not going to defend the president here you know if you wanted to interview him i can line up probably with some people who can see who you can do an interview on and you can cross-examine them all day long statements that the president has made tweeting and otherwise and you'll have a long long interview and fine and that will be great asked me what we're doing and how we look at this you should have. the compromise response of lindsay's a really really good friend of mine. and i have had family and i have hasn't confidential con

united states know how to. take a step back from this destructive policy. for raaz we have always committed. political and diplomatic dialogue. the diplomatic approach jag always civilizational. tens of thousands of years. of being religious people we have not been looking for a conflict or a war we've been trying to solve issues through dialogue as well as the united states or a much smaller timeframe has existed it created more wars that we have been participating in history that spans over towns of us i was in this years. we've just been listening there to a joint media conference between sergei lavrov fund zarif the foreign ministers respectively of russia and ran a lot spoken about over the last thirty minutes there but as you could hear the big topic being to ron's announcement earlier of a gradual scale don of the country's nuclear commitments in essence the twenty eight fifteen nuclear deal the joint comprehensive plan of action is a refund indeed surrogate lavrov saying that signatories to the deal. fa

yemen that is in the best interest of the united states madam president. not in the slightest or even by a shred. to have our support especially when our own security of the american people on us soil is not on the line. of course, there was the killing of jamaal khashoggi. february a report came out suggested the united arab emirates actually transferred american-made weapons to al qaeda and other military groups it is a saudi led coalition is getting our old weapons in violation of her own and user agreements with them.y to get to the terrorist groups we try to fight those that pose - - with the majority shia muslims. five gay men that were suspected to have been tortured into a confession. perhaps we ought not be supporting that regime at all, matter president or give unflinching or unwavering unquestioning devotion to a regime that treats its own people that way. and has harmed others in its own region. but add a bare minimum we should not fight an unjust civil war half a world away without congressional authorization article one section eight of the c

states and if the united states says the deal is off the deed itself so hero has a very limited saying here and can offer very little for example to european companies to really keep the deal as it is because this is what this is why iran is looking for iran is looking for as i understand iran is looking for for europe to cover it against american sanctions now europe has had a sort of go at it there was this. instrument which the very used to try and shield european countries from who were dealing with iran from u.s. sanctions how effective is that be well not really i mean if you are for example a german company and then you look at the 2 different markets look at the iranian market for a german company or the u.s. market so at the end of the day what do you decide you want to keep your good relations and your market access in the united states if the united states if you continue doing you know if you're dealing with iran you have a problem any you know why is the company would say ok well then we cannot follow the deal and we have to basically stop thinking about doing business wit

the united states and more than 50 other nations agree that the time has come for nicolas maduro to go he's brought nothing but misery to the venezuelan people. and we hope the russians support. form a girl will and democracy to see you in use them a democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader. who is always reminding us of the possibility of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. the russians and the americans both busy saying pretty much the same thing that venezuelans should decide what happens to their countries but how they see that happening seems to be very different the united states saying that russia china iran cuba are interfering in venezuelan politics the russians pointing out that washington is threatening the government of venezuela with intervention with military action invasion which is also the russians say. meddling interference and they pointed out the $2003.00 invasion of iraq in order to bring democracy to iraq as an unsuccessful attempt to. meddling they will support that out the $2011.

united nations security council everyone but the united states. so all in all very similar positions but very different ways of going about them for example the europeans promised the iranians that they would shield them from american sanctions they haven't been able to do so and again the austrian president being very critical of the united states for threatening european companies to get their way to get the europeans to pull out of the. nuclear deal nevertheless aside from those 2 topics it was much more relaxed this press conference both sides touting relations and trade political ties president inviting vladimir putin. for a concert next year so all in all very friendly but. serious notes about the most outstanding crises in the world. garcia bringing us the latest from sochi and thank you. now as our correspondent just mentioned tensions running iran are now getting heated up more and more and leave iraq now as fast as possible with the dramatic warning issued by washington to u.s. employees in the country it comes amid a heightened sense of

the united states will have seen -- see rules-based order is in the interest of the united states. not that i speak for the united states. i am a canadian. [laughter] >> what happens if we end up in a situation in which trade disputes are settled between countries on a bilateral basis, which seems to be the preference of the u.s. at the moment, rather than by an international body or independent arbiter? are we entering a new world of thestrongest get to dictate rules of the system? what are the implications? min. carr: i can only speak for system.dian we have successfully negotiated with the europeans and recently with asian-pacific states. this is interesting. the process through the parliament of canada broke land speed records. never before according to people who have been around longer than i have has a bill gone through parliament, the house of commons in the because there was a consensus among the political parties that it was good for canada. why is it good for canada? it gives us preferential access nowmportant markets and that the trade results are available for the firs

it will change it it won't be what we think of now as a jewish state just as united states is now what they thought it was under years ago a white christian country that happened to be democratic for them but not for all let me ask you one more question about sign is because from what i understand when it 1st appeared in the late 19th century it was primarily a political movement for and national home and later a state for the jewish people but it was couched in primarily civil rather than religious terms that we are increasingly hearing both from the israeli and american right if sign isn't being redefined right now. very strong political content it has also cultural content it was not always committed to a jewish state that's something that happened in the 1920 s. and thirty's but even ben gurion who became one of the foremost data zionist before this for the world was not in favor of a jewish state. so the you don't have to think of zionism as connected directly to a jewish state if you can think of zionism as a movement that through its entire period of time as you say from the lat

states you do not have to be a genius to figure out the outcome of the united states will prevail so us defense secretary patrick shanahan is saying that sending warships to the gulf is aimed at tearing not provoking iran my pump is also saying that this is done against the possibility of iranian attack on americans or american interests so if iran is really planning to do anything against americans will list latest development really deter tehran from action. excellent question if you look at the iranian foreign policy in the east. 20 years 18 or 20 years you can see that they have developed what they think is a deterrence capability day have networks of militia organizations their own militia organizations that have been trained and supported by iran and defame king is that in case there is a retaliation about there is a retaliation against iran by the united states iran can be tallied not from its own soil but from the soil of other countries this was the law into our logic behind creating because one law in 1982 in living on the logic was that if you're going to train an army has

one of the things that indicates is a difference in how the united states navy and how the united states army approached some of these things. in the navy, there is a clear and deliberate sense of leaving room for the emergence and adaptation of new approaches and new techniques. it is clear from records of the time that they feel the united states army does not have the same kind of mindset, and i think some of that had to hit home for the united states army through its fighting, both in the south pacific and north africa, where some of their assumptions about prewar approaches proved to be flawed. doesn't mean the approaches of the united states navy didn't prove to be, but there was a deliberate sense we need to allow room to learn. because we will not get it right the first time. >> on the ground floor to the back, your left. >> there is an old saying that goes something like a nation prepares for the next war by preparing to fight the last war or something. it sounds like you don't think that applies to what the navy did in world war ii. what do you think about that? trent: that is

the truth to the congress of the united states. that's a crime. yes. >> what are you considering for members of the administration who don't comply with congressional subpoenas? >> well, i have great confidence in our committees. we have six committees that have -- five of them have subpoenas, so far, we don't have one from the foreign affairs committee. but five of the six committees of jurisdiction have the potential for subpoenas. they haven't all issued subpoenas, but that's where we see some of that activity. as you probably know on the articles of impeachment for president nixon, article iii was he ignored the subpoenas of congress, he did not honor the subpoenas of congress. this is very, very serious. but my judgment will spring from the judgment of our committee chairs. and in terms of -- i was looking at mr. nadler's statement. the close of his statement today relating to the attorney general, he said history will judge us on how we face this challenge. we will be held accountable one way or another. and if he, barr, does

especially the president of the united states. i think. and a meeting between leaders of the congress and the president is a historic meeting. this is not a casual coming together of democrats and republicans. this is a historic meeting. it's a leadership of the legislative branch, the first branch of government, and the president of the united states. so let's make it count for something. let's really make it count for something. by dint of preparation. by dint of respect for each other's views, understanding that we'll have to yield on points to get results for the american people. but he obviously was not prepared by dint of preparation, he was not prepared, so some excuse to go out the door. i will not take responsibility for his irresponsible behavior because we pointed out the truth. reporter: kellyanne conway remarked she's apparently abandoned -- ms. pelosi: i'm not going to talk about her. i responded as the speaker of the house to the president of the united states. other conversations people were having among themselves. reporte

mainly because both the united kingdom and the united states. insisted on seeing. democracy so what we're ultimately talking about here is is a quality or more specifically the ethnic composition of the israeli democracy do you think that the upper hand sions that the current israeli leadership has about the granting all people under its control equal rights do those apprehensions ultimately. go down to security concerns or is it all ideological and more specifically is it tied to the ideology of zionism erasing many questions but let's revisit the american case for a moment it wasn't all the case that abraham lincoln who fought the civil war fought it because he imagined the united states would be a multiracial democracy you never imagined that in so far as he talked about what would happen to the slaves you talked about sending them back to africa there was the united states thought of itself as a white christian country and did not think of itself as a multiracial democracy that it came about as the an internet as a result of the elites not as a result of the go

states bullying this one a deal that was just bilateral between the united states and iran there were many other experienced leaders from many countries who got involved in this deal instead of the united states the started pulling the strings were probably. well i think it's a strange thing to call bullying rewarding a nation for not developing a hostile on the program and rewarding a nation for continuing to sponsor terrorism. i think that's a very strange definition of bullying and what we've seen in the trump administration across the board is a new way of doing things that's what the american people want it i think that's what people want all across the west and the fact that you know the old school establishment did things in a different way i think very much cruise that so that trump is delivering on his election promises if washington has these serious issues with iran and yet is threatening to sanction allies in europe and companies there from doing business with iran how is that all bullying. because it's approaching a run because the decision that the iranian government too

i think it's most likely that he would end up in the united states you know the united states i think has more pull especially now that you know the u.k. strains a leader of the european union and. you know i think that. you know all along. that has been the case right or that it's been the 1st case that he's had to deal with was is this grand jury that started before these allegations of sweden. and i think that. you know the as we've seen with chelsea manning scase and we've also seen with many other whistleblowers of the u.s. . you know they're going for a life sentences and they're you know trying to put him away for a long time. i think that there's not a lot of grounds there's not a lot of legal. action that could really be taken against him in sweden and so i think they're going to go. i could be wrong but you know if if they do get him into sweden. and washington d.c. is going to be the next they're definitely going to make sure that he gets extradited from sweden to the u.s. and that's been the concern the whole talk preaching it's on since a killing on this evening clock stu

it risky to do business with an american company or with anybody from the united states because you could be cut off suddenly by some politician who is looking to advance his career the way mr trump is a little me taking a step back from business with america cutting a deal with another producer was not an american even if that's not the best price because you don't have to worry about any history of politicians interfering in this dramatic way. a that has to be factored in or else the united states will look back on this period as a period of shooting itself in the foot. now professor wolf vietnam isn't it's a developing country but it's not a huge country especially can ride to the fore you know the principals in this fight us in china but you know when there's a spillover effect of capital seeking seeking other returns how much of that sort of spill off from the u.s. china fight how much foreign investment can be non actually absorbed. while it's limited you know it has a much much smaller population therefore a much smaller working class but vietnam is not the only country that

states, in the united states. i mean, the reach as we see with the uyghurs, as we have seen with many dictatorial countries, they are able to block that kind of -- they set up a firewall. i would ask you to speak to that if you could and we also know that a blogger trung who worked for radio free asia abducted from thailand by the vietnamese agents seeking asylum. there's just, again, if you could speak it that i would appreciate it. i've asked a few questions and there isn't much time. perhaps you could respond. >> and you respond to that and then the time will be out but we'll come back to mr. smith in a bit. >> yes. well first of all, i want to agree with congressman smith. we really don't know how many journalists are in prison in china and don't know how many uyghur journalists are in prison. we do the best research we possibly can to come up with an accurate number, but we acknowledge that it's becoming more and more difficult to do routine reporting in china and almost impossible as we heard from miss hoja

states so there's a contradiction there if you can purchase them in the united states foreigners come to the united states purchase them and read them and we so it really does seem that the statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of prosecution has done so titian co was charged in absentia here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the traveling to ourselves. festival in neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company where leg work for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle dynamics confirms that it was not involved in any way in the actions of its employee who acted in a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.s. aircraft gain modules exclusively on the basis of publicly available information and has never used nor tried to taint any classified information at least the computer whiz isn't entirely alone the russian embassy in the u.s. has been following the case a

this administration announced the united states' withdrawal. the paris agreement strengthens the international response to climate change adapttation, mitigation and capacity building. it is our best collective effort to combat climate change. so withdrawal from paris and the failure to act on climate is a mistake with global implications and catastrophic consequences for my south community. i'm proud to support h.r. 9 because it rejeggets the decision to withdraw from paris and requires the president to develop a plan to meet the united states' commitment under the agreement. my amendment strengthens the bill because it makes clear that addressing climate change means addressing its effects that are ravaging our coastal communities, sea level rise, saltwater instrution and flooding. my region's drinking water is seriously threatened as the sea rises and the saltwater reaches further inland and gets dangerously close. . in south florida is no longer takes a strong hurricane to flood our streets. they now flood just from a particularly high tide

pledge war between the united states and iran are very slim at this time because of the states that have been made by the iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini as well as by to president of the united states donald trump recently donald trump has said very clearly very explicitly that he's not interested in getting in gage in another endless war in the middle east. that danger however is a miscalculation by either iran or do u.s. war or an event instigated by some regional players in that iran has to respond and then the u.s. has to respond to iranian response and then this can get out of control and denby might have a limited military confrontation this is why it is very important for iran and the united states to open channels of communication between their top leadership or at least between the military leaderships of the 2 countries so that beacon prevent a miscalculation or a military limited military confrontation between the 2 countries because if there is a military confrontation even if it is a limited on it is not going to be it is not going to serve the interests of the uni

the commander of iran's elite military units the revolutionary guard says the united states does not have the ability to wage war against his country he also described the deployment of extra u.s. warships and fighter aircraft in the region as psychological warfare the pens can says iranian aggression is the reason why it did so the increased u.s. military presence was discussed in the iranian parliament on sunday president hussein has a never honey. unity in the face of pressure that he calls unprecedented symbols robyn has more now from toronto. while it is a matter of routine for the new head of the islamic revolutionary guard corps to address iranian members of parliament and answer their questions major general hussein salamis turn comes at a time of heightened tensions with the united states the new i.r. g.c. chief assured m.p.'s that a war with the united states is unlikely because americans know the closer their military hardware comes to iranian territory the more vulnerable it becomes to iranian defenses and iranian firepower the head of the air force was also present and r

the truth to the congress of the united states. that's a crime. reporter: speaker pelosi, what are you considering for members of the administration who don't comply with congressional subpoenas? ms. pelosi: i have great confidence in our committees. we have six committees that have -- five of them have subpoenas. so far, we don't have one from the foreign affairs committee. but five of the six committees of jurisdiction have the potential for subpoenas. they haven't all should subpoenas. but that's where we see some of that activity. as you know in the articles of impeachment for president nixon, article 3 was that he ignored the subpoenas of congress, that he did not honor the subpoenas. this is very, very serious. but my judgment will spring from the judgment of our committee chairs. and in terms of -- i'm looking at mr. snaddler's statement, in the close of his statement today relating to the attorney general said, history will judge us on how we face this challenge. we will be held accountable one way or the other. and he, bar

with the constitution of the united states mandated.e within a half hour the united states senate must act to protect that constitutional responsibility by overwriting the president's veto. there are members of this body and that new support and a number of reasons and bring that resolution to the floor of the senate let's have that debate to explain to the american people why should be spending significant amounts of money that is what the constitution says you should do that that is absolutely clear that is the responsibility of the senate and house and then they decided to send the troops into conflict. this afternoon they must make clear to follow their lead with military intervention that with any movement in that country for democracy with an incredibly wealthy family to have the distinction of owning the largest yacht in the y world with the responsible military intervention. it treats women as third class citizens and seven months ago to murder a journalist in cold blood that was a signal to any dissidentt in saudi arabia. if you dare speak out against the royal family that is

ultimately primarily on the invs.ments we make here in the united states. as my colleagues on this panel have stated, it is undeniably true that they have benefit interested a variety of unfair and at times illegal state financing, economic espionage, and other illegal practices, we also need to recognize away competitor. as is china. they spent $15 billion last year in r&d spending, ranking number five among all technology companies globally. it has 15% of the standard essential patents related to 5-g technology, an issue that senator coons brought up earlier. it offers a a product that has come through today many foreign companies -- boat the lead and development of the technologies that sort of will be built around 5-g as assistant secretary can krebs said, we are not going to win this race. it is important we confront china internationally, we need to focus at least as much on the investments we make here at home. on that note, i would like to commend recent steps by the fcc and the trump administration to try to speed the deployment of 5-g technology h

the isis coalition has been led by the united states. the united states can lead any coalition. if you do not have the united states, which is what the problem was or the issue was in libya, th president of the united states said we are going theand command-and-control this operation off to somebody else. there is no one out there saying, we will do it. unless nato takes over, does not get done, which by the way is also a u.s. led military coalition. the u.s. military essentials of both of those things. that's the fundamental point. the system we have created over the last 70 years is based on american leadership. if the americans are not there, the system is going to change. i don't think it is going to change for the better. it is going to be like winter. and the chinese made rule in a way we don't like. if we do not like the alternatives, we have to support a continued american engagement in the world. >> one -- two things are clear. one is that we have discussed how nato still has an important role to play as a global alliance, military political, economic, but also, if the

states in the united states of donald j. trump all right gentlemen i'm going to jump in here we're going to go away short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on journalism today state with our teeth. this is a period of sort of the old i suppose it's just push but if. i might need it it was and i go to the. moon isn't has its appeal to all of the good of the team you know that all you want to go to the banana that it's a little bit silly was bad. enough but well it was pretty good way that was a. kind of what you stated to him which could go i'm going down but i come. here do you mean you're going to be you know did you storm the lead here sort of my look from moods or bears or did in the clue which are coconspirators some are going to be. welcome to max geysers financial survival guide. looking forward to the town. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched kaiser report. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed. other

citizens asking the united kingdom not to extradite we do not want someone extradited to the united states on these charges and a lot of the information released by wiki leaks was published by a number of us the outlets and they just as culpable and more importantly why aren't they sticking up for us sons now they are find it more important to stand by the government and the establishment and treat he's indictment says respectable because they come from the u.s. government then to stand up for journalism just as congress members find it more important to stand up for the establishment and the white house rather than impeaching a president there is this bias toward accepting already that you know is a problem across our society and across the world but it will come back to bite journalistic outlets it will put in danger of their employees of wiki leaks and employees of the new york times and washington post and many other outlets. the u.s. says that this sounds and within its hands and have endangered the lives of people by publishing this classified information then they have a point. they

that are of strategic interest to the united states. the china north korea senior study group is the second in that series. will hear more about that in a few moments. it includes an impressive set of very knowledgeable, deeply expert scholars, former government officials, diplomats and practitioners, some of whom we have with us here today for the conversation. and we are here today to launch their report, china's role in nuclear and peace negotiations. and as we saw from this weekend, the release of this could not be more timely. we saw north korea's latest weapon test, the first missile test from that country in more than one year, and it is the latest in a series of provocations that indicate a return to tensions with washington while talks remain at an impasse. china, which wields considerable influence in pyongyang and shares washington's desire for a non- nuclear north korea, very much wants to have a role in negotiations with its neighbor. so the vital question is how to ensure that china can play a more constructive and role in

in the united states. we have some interesting trade deals going on. i'm sure you haven't read too much about it with others. last year for the first time in a decade, the united states was ranked the most competitive economy anywhere in the world. during that year, our economy grew at 3%. if the fed didn't raise interest rates, frankly, it would have been much higher than 3%. and the stock market as high as it's been would have been at least probably anywhere from 7,000 to 10,000 points higher. but they wanted to raise interest rates. you'll explain that to me. according to the world economic forum, our financial system and business dynamics and labor market all ranked number one, anywhere in the world. manufacturing and small business optimism have set all-time records and consumer confidence has just surged to a 21-year high. so, they do studies, they do polls, and we're literally at the top of every study and every poll, so that's good. the optimism is what it's all about, when you think about it. we s

so town life is one of the similarities between the united states of america and united states of mexico. they want to enhance it. that is what we mean only talk about civilizing people, making them live in towns. one last thing for the background. deep background to figueroa and his thought is this guy. another great thinker, lives 600 years bc. this is a a bas relief. sadly we no longer have -- we we no longer have this team. we should get a new mascot. is solan? he has his first reform. >> is first reform? >> plutarch says his first reform is to? 40 do it slavery -- what did he do it slavery? >> slavery is illegal for citizens. you cannot become a slave in athens. he creates a bankruptcy law. the second thing is a person asked him, what is a good government? >> when the wealthy take care of the poor. rick: when the wealthy take care of the poor and the strong take care of the weak. the ideas of politics is politics is supposed to create goodness, not safety or money -- money but goodness. how do you judge whether it is good or not, it is does it take care of the weakest members of soc

but that is clearly not being delivered right now in the united states, in western europe. actually, people are saying that the children are probably not going to be better off than their parents, and maybe we shouldn't assume that that is the norm anymore. maybe we should assume, on the contrary, that given the very steep challenge we face with climate change, we can't expect ever greater standard of life, quality, economic quality of life. we actually have to, because a world in which there are gross discrepancies in standard of living is not stable in this globalised world. 50 years ago, it didn't make any difference to americans if there were desperately poor people out there, because they couldn't visit their anger on us. but now, in this globalised world we've seen in world trade, we cannot live separately from the poor anymore. so i'm tempted to ask you, after all your travel and your learning and your writing — human beings face an existential challenge, the challenge of a warming planet, which promises so much devastation unless we address it. how are we going to

when china has 10% of united states gnp, bigger than the united states in 2014, in 34 years everything changes. but what is china threatening? is china threatening the liberal international order? or is china threatening the global balance of power, the number one power in the world so ably represented by general mcmaster and michael pulse bury. [applause] and the honest answer, there's only one simple, honest answer. china is stretching the global balance of power. and i'll tell you why china is not happening. the liberal international order. because why has china come out of nowhere and in 30 years became the largest economy in -- [inaudible] how did china do it? china did it because of the rules of the liberal international order. now, many of you will be confused by this phrase, "liberal international order." i mean, i could completely agree when they said china is not a liberal domestic order, but that's not the issue of the day. it's not whether china is liberal domestic order. the issue of the day is whether china's working with the liberal international order. and i can tell yo
