the united states accused russia of having violated the i.n.f. treaty they talked about the possibility of inspectors coming to russia to confirm whether or not this accusation from the united states was true this is what the russian representative said to the 15 member security council the united states and the countries that are subject to it despite the facts and common sense. of of good everything the wrong way round going to losing russia of all of these cardinal sins. there's nothing new or surprising in this we proposed to the americans that we could have a closed meeting with where we could look at the the missiles with this index and thereby we could they could be a big source of information about it missile in order to convince them that this treaty this missile didn't contravene the treaty but once again there was a refusal to this as well. therefore we don't really understand the arguments from our american colleagues. but we wanted to provide information to safety and be the treaty. in trying to reduce drying to destroy the treaty yo

bush as united states ambassador to the united nations. he also served as senior vice president and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute as well as contributor to fox news. bolton recognizes the importance and fundamental need for strong natural -- strong national defense and promoting democracy around the world. he resides with his wife and daughters in bethesda, maryland. we are honored to have such an esteemed conservative speaker with us tonight. join me in welcoming the honorable john bolton. [applause] mr. bolton: thank you very much. thank you. thank you. it is great to be here tonight and i appreciate the opportunity to be with you. the conference agenda sounds fantastic and i can tell you as member myself, if we had the opportunity like this to be in washington it would have been quite something. good luck for the rest of it. i'm sure it will be great. i want to talk to you tonight about some of the foreign policy challenges that face the united states today that i want to start off with a little edmund burke, someon

states was quite obviously concerned about this possibility but the agreement that the united states and turkey struck really doesn't move the ball as we say all that much 1st it's quite vague and really echoes in agreement that the united states and turkey struck over the contested town of man bit also. in northern syria where there were large numbers of y p g fighters so in the agreement says that the united states and turkey will undertake actions those on those actions are not spelled out it says that as soon as possible some sort of coordination center will be set up it says that this will be a peace card or these are all very vague kinds of things that no one could oppose i do think that it is an effort to paper over significant differences between the united states and turkey and gives turkey a way out of having not to invade like it had promised it would do to very good points you make there and we also know that the united states says that a 30 kilometer safety zone makes little sense so what kind of turkish involvement in northern syria would be acceptable to washington. we

united states and then were freed? did they have different lives? >> that is a big question. i really have to figure out how to understand. people who have been in the community in boston or upstate new york and whether the experience of being in canada and under the british empire, having a different education system, a different set of rights, how that impacts how people work together. it is ongoing research and i am trying to figure that out. because i think some people felt very safe and free in boston or in new york or chicago, but others really felt like there was something different about being in canada. it gave them an opportunity to think of themselves as british or as american, as citizens of the world, and i am sorting out what all that means to them. >> in your initial research, have you seen what the returning americans expect life to be like? >> some of them really hoped the promise of the end of slavery will mean equal rights for all. marianne carry is someone who has been a very active journalist in on

generally it is a small fraction of all welfare state spending in the united states. host: let's talk to callers. jerry in new jersey you are a first. -- you are up first. caller: i have two questions. one, i heard democrats over and over on c-span say that the illegals do not get welfare and benefits. evidently that was not correct. it seven -- it sounds like trump a merit-basedo system which is been talking about for a couple of years. people, are these illegals, supposedly paying taxes if they cannot get a security number? how is this working? this is such a fraud. how are they paying taxes? where are they getting social security numbers? guest: great question. generally democrats who say that about welfare and illegal immigrants, true but some small exceptions but true some illegal immigrants have some small access to welfare programs. it is important to understand that the rule put in place is not about stopping welfare in the united states by immigrants but about reducing the number of cards,who can get green but reducing the number of people who can immigrate t

as the sixth branch of the united states armed forces. and that is really something, when you think about it. the space force will organize, train, and equip warriors to support spacecom's mission. with today's action, we open another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military. spacecom will ensure america's dominance in space is never questioned and never threatened, because we know the best way to prevent conflict is to prepare for victory. from our nation's first days, america's military blazed the trails and crossed the frontiers. that secured our nations future. no adversary on earth will ever match the awesome courage, skill, and might of american armed forces. today, we salute the heroic men and women who will serve in spacecom and keep america's horizons forever bright and forever free. we have budgets -- since we came into the administration, since the election, 2016, since january 20 of 2017, we have done things with the military that few people would have thought possible. budgets of $700 billion.

a lot of them came back into the united states. a lot of them come to northern cities like chicago, detroit, buffalo. some of them headed to washington, d.c. some of them headed to washington, d.c. which was a major place for african-americans. in many headed back to southern committees to try to reconnect with people they had known, or find groups there were in a position to make change and be part of that change. i'm really tracking all kinds of movement back out of canada after the underground railroad . >> why do they want to come back? what gives them hope? spent a lot of them saw themselves as members of the united states. they really wanted to be united states citizens. and slavery was making that impossible. with the civil war and the end of slavery, there were a number of political leaders who say this is our chance. we're going to go be part of a reconstruction government, were going to be part of the opportunity for black people to have equal rights in the united states. but what was it like for former slaves returning v

moving to the united states that the united states is benefiting in terms of revenue that's being collected from tariffs that not everyone agrees that that has been beneficial for all americans in fact some are feeling the pain still be economic advisor larry kudlow to the president making the argument that the united states is willing to tough this one out that they expect there will continue to be negotiations with china come september on this escalating trade war that the tariffs that the united states has recently put in place that they could potentially be eased if there is progression in these talks essentially the argument being made by this white house is there are big risks in order to try to achieve big gains. this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have veered to tread. he is determined he's rebuilding the american economy which is going very strong. and i think part of that has to be traded. now the united states says what it's looking for from china is what it calls quote the right deal in other words it is looking

for the first time, because of cuba's proximity to the united states, the united states was a country of first refuge, meaning refugees didn't go to another country and then apply for resettlement in the united states. they went straight to the united states. especially to places like miami. the policy for cuban refugees at this time was such that these refugees would be given asylum as part of a bigger anti-castro, anti-communist policy. a number of requirements were imposed on these early refugee populations. these requirements illustrated how the united states pursued its own cold war self-interest. first, as i've already mentioned, the u.s. offered a special welcome for people fleeing communism. second, preference was given for refugees who were professionals or highly educated or skilled. this was in keeping with other immigration laws of the period. ultimately, while welcoming displaced people has been seen as a humanitarian act, these humanitarian efforts were often centered on the needs of the united states, the helper. these images feature refugees who arrived in the united s

a lot came back to the united states. some come to northern cities like chicago and detroit and buffalo. some of them go to washington, d.c., which during the civil war and reconstruction is a major place for african-americans. some of them go all the way back into southern communities and try to reconnect people they've known or find groups that are in position to make change and be part of that change. i'm tracking all kinds of moments back out of canada after the underground railroad. >> why do they want to come back and what gives them hope? >> a lot of them thought themselves as members of the u.s. they wanted to be united states citizens and slavery was making that point. with the civil war and end of slavery there are a number of political leaders who say this is our chance. we're going to go and be part of a reconstruction government. we'll be part of the opportunity for black people to have equal rights in the united states. >> what's it like for those former slaves returning versus the people who had stayed in t

he's not to appear to me you don't get to the united states of america you don't talk to the united states that way at least in the me denmark's queen who would have hosted trump expressed shock at his abrupt cancellation we learned is the world's largest island and it's got plenty of resources to trump the idea that it's a boy who's not entirely new. reports poor queen of denmark it just happened to be that way you know the way that part of her land is the world's biggest island greenland just to the northeast of america and that it's donald trump who's in charge at the white house right now how about the u.s. greenland all of it and i guess we 1st visited like he was joking and said can we buy greenland and he was joking and then kept coming back to it the danish prime minister would not sell him greenland calling the idea absurd we must face the truth that our president is raving like a lunatic you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you haven't seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping wishlist have realized his being absolu

states because the united states called on berlin to secure shipping in the strait of hormuz but they also called on them to combat a rainy and aggression were of course then germany to give into that i'm essentially they would have been condemning iran's actions at the same time you know engaging in something which is labeled as putting them on a collision course then with tech ron at a time of course when germany has such a differing view and it stance towards iran desperately trying to nudge the iranians back into the parameters of that carefully negotiated 2015 nuclear deal at the end of the day though i think whether this u.s. mission is the trolling of the high seas or perhaps even something more perhaps a move of politic i think it's fair to say that we will see washington now proceed and go forward rather swiftly and killed or what about germany i mean this does look like a slap in the face delivered by germany to the united states. it certainly could be seen that way particularly given that german defense rely so heavily on the u.s. but at the same time this really isn't a su

and he was not an admirer of the united states. he had visited the united states as a young man. he found americans to be greedy, materialistic, and uncultured, and he did not want to see them dominating the western hemisphere. so he developed his grand design, the invasion of mexico, which unfolded first with the cooperation of spain and great britain, in the first year of the civil war, then expanding throughout the first half of the 1860's. in europe, we see italian unification as the war is breaking out. so there's quite a bit on the minds of european powers at this time. >> one angle not often as talked about, but really important in this question, is the european communist movement, in particular karl marx and frederick engels. they were both fascinated by the american civil war, for two reasons. as part of the european revolutions of 1848, 1849, the communist league, which they wrote the communist manifesto for, played an important role and hoped to turn that into a communist or socialist revolution. it failed, and they had to go into exile. a lot of them went into exile i

states he said that the united states stands by its position stands by its approach because this is no longer about an iranian nuclear deal this is no longer only about nuclear reactors and the pursuit of nuclear weapons this is now also about iran's ballistic missile program which the united states wants doubt this is also about iran's role in regional conflicts the united states one wants a raw. to pull out of them completely trump is offering the iranians a baggage that by all appearances they would accept and now we're than where the united states is strangling the iranian economy applying military pressure on them the europeans are trying to save what they cabin the iranians swear that they won't bend we have been getting reaction from tehran and europe about what the potential results or repercussions could be. by the beginning i thought like most journalists that it was an all or p.r. stunt public relations effort of mr micawber to make his summit a success but the fact that. the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in doubt it's a few meters away from the trouble is

the united states was made by philosophy. american conserve 'tatism defen the original philosophy of the founding fathers. classical liberal list m, the counter point to this tradition will argues is progressive is m and to flourish. this tradition for george will has eroded the ideals of the american founding, invited the spirit of america and created a country less free, less self-rely and posed. the problem is after the new deal came the astonishing american boom of the 1950s and 60s and after the great society was the revolution which the united states dominated more than any nation. the fact remains in 2019, the united states is one of the most free dynamic and innovative countries on the planet. if that is the result of a sen cu -- century of policies maybe we need more. conservatism is unsure whether america today is a fallen republic or astonishing story. this might help explain the rise of donald trump ever since the 1930s conservatives are promising the rollback of the progressive agenda. yet, despite the regan revo

talking to the united states of america. you don't talk to the united states that way. least under me. now, president obama, when they ouldn't let him land in the philippines, when they treated him so badly in so many places, that ilippines is one comes to mind, that's different. that's different. they can treat him any way they that's up to that's up to him. but they can't treat the united statement, how absurd. [inaudible] president trump: let your wife do it. who is the boss? who is the boss. >> i am the boss. president trump: i agree. she's the boss. go ahead. a lot of people. got a lot of people watching you. go ahead. tomr. president, with regard background checks, why shouldn't anyone who wants to buy a gun go through a background check? wrong with that? president trump: what we're i want guns to be in the mentallypeople who are stable. but people that are insane, people that are sick up here, i be able to hem to a gun. president trump: if a person is if a person has done things in their past that are a horror, like in the case dayton, except they got guess he wa

states white nationalist white natives his forces and not just the united states around the world as well just think of the christ church killings in new zealand where basically all the killers have the same modus operandi right before they go on a major killing spree like this they publish these type of manifest as to a couple of very fringe chat rooms online in the hope and actually in the safe knowledge that many of the racist and nationalistic users of these chat rooms will take these documents will take these video clips and spread them to the wider world which is exactly what we're seeing happen today this manifesto was posted to one of those chat rooms within minutes it had been taken down however it had already been spread to twitter to google images you can find it time and time again online so if that is true then we are seeing a very strong pattern right here mass shooting designed for the internet now despite hundreds of shootings this year alone on the 215th day of 290250 mass shootings in the u.s. it's so hard for the u.s. to change its gun laws despite poll after poll

compete with the united states. right now, the fed is tying our hands, because we are paying interest rates and germany and other countries that are not like us are not. it should be the other way around. why should they be paying no interest rate and have an incentive beyond that and we are paying interest rates? the fed has missed the call for a long time. >> on the economy -- [inaudible] >> i think we have a very strong economy. i don't see any reason to. i think the fed has been very late and very early. they were very early to raise and late to cut, but the fed can o the whole thing. yesterday, we had the strongest dollar in the history of our country. yesterday, we had the strongest dollar in the history of our country. in one way, i am honored by that, but in another way, it makes it harder to export goods. i love it, but in another way i don't like it because it is harder to compete. we have literally the strongest dollar in the history of our country. >> [inaudible] >> we are looking at that very seriously.

release entered the united states or idea of the united states of being a welcoming haven for people who are exiled. unfortunately the history of the united states tells us somewhat different, more complicated story. the truth is, we haven't always had humanitarian impulse to welcome refugees. usually, we have only done so when it is in our humanitarian national interest. usually, we have been more inclined to actually reject refugees and to accept them. and to borrow the words of historian, eric king, often, refugees who have been accepted for resettlement here, are not only resettled, but are also deeply unsettled by the experience of forced migration and resettlement in united states. to give you an overview of what i will talk about today, i will give you a little bit of background about american refugee resettlement policy, after the second war. and i am going to use that to set up why the 1970s were such an important period of change. that is when a small group of ugandan asian refugees first arrived in the united states, followed by the even larger group of refugees, southeast

friendly forces the united states are friendly to the united states i mean it's a country under siege i want to stay with my palm pale mohamed because he seems to have this kind of weird kind of psychological tic because when he hears iran he hears the echo of al qaeda after all these years he's still playing that that somehow there is a connection between iran and al qaida it's an extraordinary and very few in the media push back on. it. yes and the fact is that there is a direct link between the united states and yeah right now in syria the last stronghold of al qaeda the united states is preventing the syrian government the syrian armed forces from getting rid of this major occupation this occupation of this this horrific terrorist organization so it's ironic that after less than 2 day that case after september the 11th and subsequently this whole war on terrorism 3 which was as a result of september the 11th since 2011 the united states has been supporting al qaeda and we have to remember that isis was al qaeda which broke away and became isis or i.a.s. so but in addition to that

china to the united states as well as other international companies choosing to go to the united states in all the economic advisor larry kudlow saying that they believe that in order to achieve big gains you also have to take big risks. this is a transformative president. who is going in many places where prior presidents and both parties have fear to tread. he is determined he's rebuilding the american economy which is going very strong. and i think part of that has to be trade it is a political risk though for u.s. president onil trump for his reelection in particular in 2020 that's because these tariffs of hit american farmers very very hard ready the united states has put in place to aid packages are on twitter the u.s. president suggesting perhaps there is more aid in the future if this continues to linger it doesn't appear there is any quick resolution although there are talks expected to pick up again in september and the indications by the white house team are is that if there is if things are in their words progressing well the idea of potentially easing some of those tariffs

in the united states and the soviet union and the recent decision of the united states to withdraw from that treaty as many concerned about the potential for a new nuclear arms race now many hoped that the meeting could be the opening of dialogue toward restoring some kind of treaty regarding intermediate range nuclear forces missiles and such however while a lot of accusations were exchanged no real consensus seems to have existed among the countries represented at the un security council investigative journalist david indoor only said the u.s. is forcing rival powers into an alms rice the u.s. was preparing to do this. that the fact that they launched this tomahawk missile from a mark 41 launcher proves what russia had been complaining about when the u.s. put these agents missile systems near the russian border russian western border and said oh these are to guard against iranian missiles which of course don't even exist there are no russian intermediate range missiles based around the united states and there aren't any chinese intermediate range missiles based around the united state

this is a president of the united states who calls people like me who come to the united states of america, breeders, animals. and he has no self-examination today in his comments. he said that those that are prejudice and bigotry and hatred are heartless, don't have a heart, don't have a soul. well, mr. president by our own words, you are heartless and soulless because you have been the propaganda chief of hatred here in the united states of america. and look, black people can't go to church unless they're assassinated by a white supremacist. jews can't go to the synagogues, latinos can't go shopping. people live in fear because of hatred. and yes, we need a war, a war on terrorism here in the united states of america to eradicate. but the first thing we need to do is the president of the united states has to stop, has to stop igniting the flames of hatred and bigotry and division in this country. we all bleed the same, we all defend this nation when it comes under attack. we are all americans, not just you, mr. trump, and the people you want to vote for you. represent us all. i don't bel

news live from berlin the united states reels from 2 mass shootings within just mere hours of each other at least 9 people are reported dead in dayton ohio after a man opened fire in a popular nightlife area some $27.00 more are injured the suspected gunman has also been killed and his sister is reported to be among the victims. and 20 people are killed and dozens wounded and then another mass shooting in el paso texas a gunman opened fire inside a busy wal-mart store it's being treated as a mystic terrorism a 21 year old has been arrested police say a priest istana festo published online may reveal his motive. and in hong kong pro-democracy protesters are out on the streets for a 9th straight weekend some demonstrators are turning on police after their heavy handed response pelting government buildings to stones and tanks crowds continue to march despite the threat of a military crackdown we'll hear more from our reporter on the scene. welcome to the program. 2 separate mass shootings in the united states have left almost 30 people dead the more recent attack took place in the city of d

states wants out this is also about iran's role in regional conflicts the united states 110. to pull out of them completely trumpets offering the iranians a baggage that by all appearances they would accept and now we're than us where the united states is strangling the iranian economy applying military pressure on them the europeans are trying to save what they cabin the iranians swear that they won't bend. we've been getting reaction from tehran and in europe about what the potential results or repercussions could be. by the beginning i thought like most journalists that it was an over p.r. stunt public relations effort of mr micawber to make such a success but the fact that. the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in doubt it's a few meters away from the trial is is astonishing is astounding and it seems there is more to it if germany and france have discussed with the iranians over the last few days and are discussing now with the on of those in b. it was the french they came to the ukrainians that vince them to stay in the deal and essentially what that did it a

90 from the united states. that got massive coverage. president obama was constantly siding these claims during his administration and he claimed the united states was unique in terms of best like shootings. way out there. so anyway, i would asking for the data, gun control advocates to asking for his list of mass public shootings around the world. he refused to commit out for years. so finally, a couple of years ago, i decided to bite the bullet and the crime prevention research center, you can find our list of the cases from around the world that act crime research .org. we bit the bullet and spend about $70000. i don't know how to find cases where four people are shot in africa, or parts of south america in the 1960s. on the 1970's. he never explained how he could get a complete list of all of these cases from the 1960s in the 1970s. i just looked and we just looked in the last 15 years of the period of the 47 years where he looked at. rather than the 202 shooters over the whole outside world outside the uni

states has our options that it did that and the united states has a lot of strategy basically aiming at asia and that's why the treaty had to be to terminated he sat that one of the reasons is but for example the nuclear arms race in asia could increase russia. if the united states puts a new missile in asia that it will consider and look at the situation and react accordingly to defend its national security basically the big keyword here is china the united states wants to balance what china has been doing also on the defense front but china never really had any intention to join any nuclear treaty so that's why the united states is planning and on friday the u.s. defense secretary already sad that he wants to send missiles to asia sooner rather than later so there's a lot of concern about that during a press or a lot of asian journalists were asking questions about the possibility of this new nuclear arms race in asia and the friends for the deputy foreign minister sat that we will all. all have to see and wait what the united states is planning to do at least 4 people have been in

welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria. >> today on the show, the g7 meeting in france. trump and trudeau, macron and merkel. we'll bring you the latest. >> then, how is asia responding to the trump presidency? >> we have been hurt by china for 25, 30 years. nobody has done anything about it. >> i'll check in with asia expert barack hunt. >> also, eat less meat if you want humanity to survive. that was the message earlier this month from the u.n. but how do we convince those with a tenderness for t-bones or lamb or pork or chicken or goat to stop? amanda little has the answer. but first, here's my take. today's crisis of conservatism has produced surprisingly few books that try to analyze what exactly happened to this venerable creed. for decades, conservatism was a dominant ideology in the western world, championed by margaret thatcher and ronald reagan. now, it has quietly collapsed. president trump's populism has taken over the republican party, brexit fever has consumed britain's conservative leaders

she spent seven of her 21 months of her investor ship to canada at home in the united states. not a single round of the usmca negotiations took place in kentucky or oklahoma. while she claimed that she always received approval for her travel, records show that on at least 11 days out of the country she did not have state department approval. should she be confirmed as abbasid or to the u.n., it is fair to say that if an international crisis erupts, we might more likely find her kentucky than new york city. and after -- ambassador cross absences represent a abdication of our responsibility as the head of the u.s. embassy in canada, one of our nation's most vital allies. in one troubling instance during a month when the trump administrations shutdown the federal government, ambassador craft was in ottawa for only two days. rather than providing either ship to embassy personnel during uncertain times, she was at home in kentucky. perhaps she thought she was a nonessential personnel. finally, she has displayed a lack of diligence when reflecting conflict of interests. norms are on

she served as the 66th secretary of state of the united states. she also served as president george w. bush's assistant to national security affairs. please join me as this esteemed group comes to the stage. [ applause ] >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon and thank you for joining us. we're going to have a little discussion here about the subject of this panel, democracy and american forbe policy, a hot topic these days, i would say. and then after we've talked for a while, we're going to invite you to ask questions. i want to remind everybody that i am a professor. i will call on somebody if nobody asks a question, so please, there are microphones. get your questions ready. i'm delighted to be joined by neil ferguson and steve crasner for this important discussion, one of the greater dilemmas of foreign policy. if we go back 100 years, we would have seen a world in which the russian revolution had taken place, but the country was still in civil war. many of the people who were in that civil war would escape russia, and some of them wou

wheeler, a little history about the united states senate. keep in mind a couple of facts about the senate in our history and in our system of government. if you remember, the senate is endowed with certain responsibilities unique in our politics. the senators, for one thing, have six-year terms. longer than any other federal official. the senate has the responsibility to ratify treaties and to advise and consent on appointments to the judiciary and other high government positions. unique responsibilities invested in the united states senate. so i want to quote -- rather than start with burton k. wheeler tonight, i want to quote one of his contraries, a guy named mansfield, mike mansfield. in 1963 mike mansfield was the senate majority leader and was preparing to deliver a response in the senate to some of the critics that he had had to encounter in the senate who were complaining about his leadership style. he was too laid back, they thought, not aggressive enough in pushing the democratic agenda in the united states senate and the kennedy a
