of big countries at once but people in the united states not so much just . portion at least people who identify as the democratic party blame russia for everything where those who think they're republicans blame china for everything works out well for the government cause they can blame both them for everything but people sort of you pick who your identity determines which foreign nation you hate but with with respect to rick one of the ways the military is this magician that bruce speaks of is with its budget and the pentagon budget that we all denounce a speech and dimes russia's military budget is only a chunk of u.s. military spending that the nukes are in a different department the homeland security is in a different department it adds up to one and a quarter trillion dollars a year in u.s. military spending which rushes to the incredible credit and praise of russia is you know far less than 10 percent of that and it is it is enormously to the credit of the russian government that it puts more money into things other then militarism it should put more a

the united states would not go it alone. in the aftermath of the destruction the united states sent strong security alliances that have helped keep our country safe and helped our economies flourish. we created global institutions such as the united nations and financial institutions such as the international monetary fund and world bank to reduce the economic conflict and address global poverty. with strong u.s. leadership and working together with our allies we contained communism and created dynamic world economies and growing markets for u.s. exports. america's middle-class prospered, millions across the world were lifted out of poverty. but over the years new problems developed that were not properly addressed. in the push to grow our economies as we embrace new technologies we did not do enough to prepare our workers and our education systems for the changes underway. while we embrace to trade we neglected those that did not benefit. when we might have adopted policies at home to face these issues and joined with our a

coming up today a preview of the meeting between the leaders of japan and the united states. should you try to come to the fact. of the threat. across the country. welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us japanese prime minister your she said to be the 1st world leader to visit u.s. president joe biden on friday reports suggest an increasingly assertive china will be a key theme of the talks japan is also a security ally of the united states and both have defined the nation as a quote cornerstone of peace security and prosperity in the in the pacific region i'll be discussing that further with an expert in a moment but 1st this report. and presidents and a prime minister new to their leadership roles but each with years of experience treading the fine line of tough diplomacy. increasingly the main tools of such diplomacy look like this. u.s. exercises with asian allies meant to deter aggression. aggression especially from the chinese who have just this week sent fighter jets to skirt taiwanese airspace. taiwan itself proclaims its strength by showing off new naval h

he came to united states. to to meet with american congressman a politicians or whoever he went to new york. he couldn't find a place to stay. he had to go to harlem to get a hotel. nobody came to congratulate him. anything but russia and crucial hopped on a plane came to us. came to harlem. welcome to the streets of harlem found castro at the hotel and he's celebrated with castro and from that day on. castro russia had one castro's confident and took him up, know, they became friends. is that what happened jake? is that what happened nicholas? yes in the main that's what happened. a lot of that though was political theater. i think castro intended to stay in harlem for appearances he already was developing a relationship with the soviet union. it wasn't sparked because of this act of generosity in the part of khrushchev. i mean these things are usually political theater. it's interesting that on that trip. castro did meet eisenhower's meet with him, but he met with the vice president richard nixon. who was im

welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the show, after nearly 20 years and 2,500 u.s. lives lost, america's war in afghanistan finally has an expiration date. >> it is time to end america's longest war. >> but what happens after the u.s. and nato troops pull out? after all of that blood and treasure, will afghanistan return to taliban control? will it become a terrorist haven once again? i'll have an exclusive interview with the president of afghanistan ashraf ghani, and then i'll talk to two former national security advisers, tom donilon and h.r. mcmaster. i'll also ask them about russia as its military drills and masses on its border with ukraine. are they preparing for another invasion? also, is myanmar the new syria? the u.n. human rights chief said it may get justice as bad. clarissa ward has logged many days in syria and is just back from myanmar. she'll describe what she saw in that closed-off country. >>> but first, here is my take. to govern is to choos

the united states provide nuclear assurances to allies. that helps dissatisfied objectives that we do not want other objectives to be obtained. we devise a nuclear posture that impart can meet the assurance needs of our allies who rely on that nuclear umbrella. i would say for the sake of all of those things, that certainly at the very least, the united states must fulfill what it has already deemed and earned by consensus about the nuclear modernization plan. >> i will just add to that as well. the people on the listening and who do not focus on this on a daily basis, i just want to remind every one that u.s. nuclear weapons are old. they're built at the end of the cold war. i don't know if any of you drive cars, you drive cars were built in the 1980s? they probably don't work that well. departing got a new and since then. the united states does need to update his triad pierced bipartisan consensus for this. we knew bombers and the submarines. until obama agreed to that, trump agreed to that. in 2018 then the trump administration added th

>> it spread all over the united states. the first cases occurred, surprisingly enough, on the east coast rather than on the west coast. among navy personnel in rhode island, and then to additional personnel in san diego. since that time, of course, which was about the 1st of june, it has spread in localized outbreaks to grinnell, iowa, to the boy scouts jamboree in pennsylvania, and to almost all states in the united states. >> i didn't realize it was asian flu that hit the boy scouts. not many people have died as a result of asian flu in the rest of the world. do you think the same will hold true here in the united states? >> we have the belief now, based upon the experience of asian influenza in the other countries, in south america at the present time where it is in epidemic proportions, and as a result of the outbreak in this country so far that it is a mild infection and with a very low mortality rate, and we believe that it will continue to be both a mild infection and have a very low death rate. >> well, is there the

the united states. and the way that occurred is i was fortunate enough at the -- between about 1995 and 2005 to acquire the records of some of the major gaming manufacturing companies. many of them were in chicago. one of them was also out of l.a. and we put those records together along with artifacts that they had, and they reflected the -- they reflected gaming throughout not only nevada but throughout the united states and the caribbean. and we have the largest collection of original gaming records, to my knowledge, in the united states. possibly in the world. you have to remember that when gaming started, it was kind of a contest between the person operating the game and the various players, and if you couldn't control a game in the early days of gambling and, say, from the 1850s on and things like catalog of them and one of the more famous catalogs was the kansas city blue book, and this display that we have here has portions or information relative to that, the blue book. these are original illust

today, the united states is the leading power of peace. we bear tremendous responsibilities in the world. if we are to carry out our responsibilities, we must make known to people throughout the world, what we are, what we believe, what we seek as a nation, and we must combat soviet propaganda. this is the job of the united states information agency. each of us is vitally concerned, for our national security is at stake. the document you are about to see pictures the problems we face, and how the united states information agency is dealing with them. >> today, the greatest threat to peace is the expansionist aims of the kremlin. already, one out of three, 800 million people, are prisoners of the iron curtain. just outside the soviet orbit, another billion in europe, the east and far east are threatened. freedom everywhere, our freedom is in jeopardy. a primary tool of soviet expression is propaganda. it is through propaganda that the north koreans were prepared for their attack on south korea. between 1945-1949, they were saturated with so

the united states talking the defense chief there and thinking to his counterparts in ukraine nato is making statements here of course russia is acting in a provocative way which that's what they always say here i mean are we in the fog of politics at this point here what's going on and what's the is there any sense to the timing of what's going on here go ahead mark well i think there are so many issues which ukrainians bring still bubbling to the surface the local issues including within we read in groups in your crighton so that the more radical nationalist groups see i mean tension with on the bus as a way of emphasizing will need to abolition was need or with national schools or just trying crackdowns when people are critical of the government policy about 6 some kind of compromise solution. and there are people in the west who. i think mistakenly think that it's important to expose the russian aggressive designs by raising with tension and perhaps or even some cynics who think that if there is a renewed conflict in the dome it will more broadly true for instance cope with north

states when you come to the united states you are a highly trained person that has a baccalaureate degree you in order to practice as a registered nurse in the united states you also have to pass an english language exam you need to have that education evaluated to make sure it's a saying or at least equivalent to an american education and you also have to pass a board exam what's not expected when people come here and just as a footnote i'm also an immigrant but i immigrated from canada so when i check that box i check an immigrant and i also check filipino but the perception is a little bit different but understanding that you know people p. . people who get care from a filipino nurse are getting care from an individual who has been trained to care for them who has had an education equivalent to what we've had in the united states and this idea of inequality in terms of education and language and culture is really a huge barrier to sort of resolving a lot of the things that you're seeing there in the chat and also by my colleagues that are here with me and one of the things that we coul

in the united states that this. russia says it's going to respond hasn't said exactly how it will but what do you anticipate well i suspect there will be a response because it russians can't seem to be going don't mean to use accounts in going back to the sanctions of so for me about individuals perhaps will see individuals being sanctioned by the nicest by russia oh absolutely explosion of a difference but i'm sure a response will come this is what happens in any such that situation there is a tit for tat but nor no power can be seen to let you know what its rivals get away with and scarce i think that's going to happen yeah 10 exactly what will happen will have to wait and say no that will come over the next few hours or days or say chris we'll leave it agatha told you that with our political analyst chris bambery . a controversial global security bill has been passed by the french parliament it grants additional powers to law enforcement bodies but has faced widespread criticism for making it harder to call out t

the blockade stops cuba from doing business with the united states. they can't buy our stuff and we can't buy theirs. we can't pay for things because banks won't lend us money or even let us open accounts. the blockade also stops cuba from doing business with other countries. obama: it does not serve america's interests or the cuban people to try to push cuba towards collapse. [crowd cheering] [player speaks spanish] jagger: hola, havana! reporter: the trump administration is imposi new restrictions ou.s. travel to cuba. reporter 2: john bolton making a south florida stop today to talk to the cuban-american community. reporter 3: unveiling sweeping changes to cuba policy. reporter 4: a major blow to the new u.s.-cuba relationship. reporter 5: the u.s. has banned flights. reporter 6: all families t leave cuba. reporter 7: the u.s. government will also ban trips by cruise ships. reporter 8: they'll have to go after their finances. reporter 9: limiting the amount of money, fresh u.s. sanctions.

not trying to not being slow i mean but the fact is that the united states and europe sanctioned any effort to reconstruct syria and i mean let's be clear we're not talking about reconstructing the government all the state such we're talking about ordinary humanitarian reconstruction houses help you know with water supplies electricity is all that is being sanctioned by western states and the situation of ordinary syrians is deplorable it's a really i mean beyond bad it's there and terrible impoverishment. but neither russia nor where our ability to to to simply rebuild syria if you rebuild syria i mean the next thing you see will be a tomahawk missile or a missile coming from somewhere we know not well which will destroy that structure the united states policy remains that they want to see and it's got stronger. by because you have people i mean if you ask me about someone like lincoln of course he was an odds with biden when he was vice press because he said there should be more done to get rid of more pressure more influence from your hardest to get rid of it must be. very very ha

at least, that is what they are recommending in the united states of america. tom: the history of this goes back to 1960, and there is a significant distinction stated by washington and by the fda, the cdc, and all of the institutions that the united states will be different. this was codified in the thalidomide crisis of the late 1950's, culminating in frances kelsey's work at the fda in 1960, where we said we will be more cautious. with us now, the ever cautious jack fitzpatrick of bloomberg government. jack, the heritage here of a cautious washington and a cautious institutional medical washington is tangible. what a shift from the trump administration to the biden adminstration. describe that shift. jack: i think one of the biggest public shifts, aside from getting the vaccines out in the numbers we have seen, one of the biggest public shifts has been updated rolling deadlines or goals. when biden talked about wanting people in a hesitant way to go to a fourth of july barbecue, they set enough flexible deadlines while warning that things could potentially g

a preview of the meeting between the videos of japan and the united states. should look for friday it comes to the backdrop of rising tensions with china how do the u.s. and japan plan to counter the threat. a shortage of vaccines. across the country. i'm british by naji welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us japanese prime minister your sheet asuka is said to be the 1st world leader to visit u.s. president joe biden on friday reports suggest an increasingly assertive china will be a key theme of the talks japan is also a security ally of the united states and both have defined the nation as a quote cornerstone of peace security and prosperity in the indo-pacific region i'll be discussing that further with an expert in a moment but 1st this report. and the president and a prime minister new to their leadership roles but each with years of experience treading the fine line of tough diplomacy. increasingly the main tools of such diplomacy look like this. u.s. exercises with asian allies meant to deter aggression. aggression especially from the chine

in the region, not just our the border along the southern part of the united states. those security measures want our important and an essential aspect of sovereignty, the ability to control ones territory. i think that goes back to the very beginnings of the formation of the nation state and definition of what was a nation state coming out of europe in the 15th century. so it is an important aspect, but it cannot be the only aspect. you cannot just stop needy people from coming through. another point that is really important is that as the official crossing points are monitored much more effectively, it will push desperate migration, desperate migrants to illegal crossing points, and it will therefore make it much more likely that people want to migrate are going to pay one of those so called -- the human smugglers, that will be seen as the only way to get through these danger in crossing points that involve jungle territory and very hostile environments. there does need to be an attempt to reinforce the border, but it certainly cannot be the only aspect of what we d

the united states is not configured for this. every chinese aid and development worker sees he himself as a vanguard for larger chinese business. i don't think anybody and u.s. aid to things that way but i need to start thinking that way if they are serious about the whole of government approach. i'm going to differ slightly from ibish on the presence of the united states fleet. texas is competing with markets in asia, competing with saudi arabia for markets in asia to export, and in some ways, the fifth fleet is underwriting the geopolitical risk of a buying saudi arabian oil. i am not sure if we start thinking strategically if that is going to make sense, particularly for texans. hussein: that is the argument are as referring to. i was just saying, that is precisely the argument i was referring to that many people are making. hashem: biden made this quite clear that he will definitely need to rebuild ties with nato and we are talking about nato, we are talking about russia at the same time because that is where the western thin

and the fact that the united states it never forget. that you know by this calling back on a foundation of ideological beliefs in the united states he said the russia russia lost the cold war and we've never forget and forgive and vladimir putin we're trying to rebuild russia in the aftermath if you want to understand what's going on in ukraine today you need to understand that united states and the decade investing in a gentleman named bourse yeltsin who were supposed to subordinate russia to all things western all things united states and this failed. just like the people who promoted this promoted the embrace of course yeltsin had to deal with the reality of latter mere putin under barack obama there was a real. well it wasn't a reset for vladimir putin it was a reset for dimitri. was prime minister he was already been viewed of we could push note of power and have russia rip current to the fold. and it's this didn't work so what's happening in ukraine is an extension of a policy that seeks to undermine glenarm or putin's russia by e

secretary of defense makes it probable that israel informed the united states the united states tacit approval because to take undertake such an action if israel was behind this attack to undertake undertaking the day before the u.s. secretary of defense arrives in israel would be quite risky if the americans were not informed of such a plan and i think in a way this this helps the united states this attack to explain during the negotiations that iranian regime through its proxies in iraq has been attacking american forces we see a number of attacks i think have been attacks recently and america has only recently. retaliated once saw that you argue regime has tried to use its proxies to pressure the americans in the nuclear talks then we saw recently that brought advanced centrifuges and that's another a pressure point which now it seems that they nor longer have it judging by the new york times report for being sent back by a number of months i think what is important to note is that there have been 2 attacks in the press that have been no attributed to israel in the last year both o

indians become a signifier for the united states. so something people often look for and something that we knew would always be in the hall of over 300 objects and images was something about the local nfl team here in washington. washington redskins. and we weren't really sure how to present the objects because we felt it would be a little boring. we just have a football helmet or something. and so what we chose to do is in multiple places in the hall really show how these mascots are in sort of every day life rather than just show them by themselves. so here we have a photograph of robert griffin iii, who is a sensational nfl quarterback for the redskins with a young fan. and what we're interested in, and this is a little bit due to my status as a news and sports junky is to appreciate why people support teams. and very few people actually say which team has the coolest mascot or the best name. you almost always are supporting a team because you're from the region and your family and friends support it and it is part of life. the te

these kinds of human rights abuses this is exactly ward the united states have done to justify wars in libya afghanistan syria iraq across latin america i know you've been asked before about this why did you take funding from the national endowment for democracy knowing the brutality and the 10s of millions killed wounded tortured or displaced at the hands of national endowment for democracy policies around the world well we established campaign for a course in the fall of 2017 in order to advocate for this nest on president that human rights atrocity in the world after the holocaust we found campaign for it was 2017 my sister was abducted and september 28th when i quit my full time job as an international business development director from the consulting firm that i was working and i became full time activist one year and were 3 of my sisters at the actually funded by the national endowment for democracy i really started funding from october 2090 i don't mean to wiggers there's no funding from the national and our democracy to help salute not absolutely not i to look at look at record

states is a net exporter it helps the united states national security. so the chinese communist party believes that. i hope our intel communities can say that definitively. being a net exporter of energy, all of the above energy, enhances our national security and foreign policy. director you told me that during our confirmation process. i'd like you to definitively state it. we are undertaking policies right now, the biden administration, to restrict the production of american energy, unilaterally. we are importing more russian oil right now than we have ever before. is that good or bad for our national security, from your perspective relative to our relationship with russia? >> with respect, senator, i'm not trying to be obtuse, it's just honestly i think it depends on the particular circumstances as a representative of the intelligence community what i try very hard to do is provide you with what analysts assess with respect to particular situations and give you that assessment so that it can help your decision making. if you wish to provide us a ques

it's more difficult to operate in the united states and gain access to the united states, so a variety of things have changed inside of the united states and we should keep that in mind. additionally, although we are going to try to pull out of afghanistan, we are operating under the concept that the u.s. military presence zero is going to be zero, and we can talk a little bit more about that in the closed session. we will have an architecture in the theater that will allow us to work with afghanistan and will not give the same picture that we've got now and it will allow us to see and it will be greater. the risks will be greater but it will be possible to do those things. it's certainly not impossible to have the vision that we have now. >> thank you very much, general mckenzie. general townsend, thank you for your leadership and your time in the committee. can you assess what is the operational effect, and what are the factors that i think you both recognize is that the terrorist threat once was assumed to be solely located in the mountains of afghanistan, but now it is dispersed th

welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. we'll begin today's show with the world's biggest global companies. many of them pay little in taxes in many of the nations where they do business. the biden administration has a plan to change that. >> i'm sick and tired of ordinary people being fleeced. >> some companies say bring it on. others are upset. i'll talk to the deputy secretary of the treasury, wally adeyemo, about that, infrastructure and much more. >>> then, can the u.s. and iran get back to the negotiating table to talk about the nuclear deal? well, the first steps in the process actually happened this week in vienna. we'll have a debate on whether the u.s. should even reengage. >>> also, the incredibly awkward game of musical chairs in turkey this week that left one female official without a seat. what that scene says about turkey's continuing slide away from democracy. >>> but first here is my take. a few months after covid-19 burst onto the world stage, it is clea

hi i'm steve clemons and i have a question what does the united states look like these days if you're on the outside looking in let's get to the bottom line. if you ever wondered how your country would look from a totally different perspective well that's what we're doing today with the united states gun violence inequality and race far right populism america's retreat from the world forever wars everything is on the table with our special guest today he is gerard road who served as a french diplomat for more than 3 decades he served as france's ambassador to the united states the united nations and israel and he was the french negotiator on the iranian nuclear issue and baxter wrote welcome to the show thanks so much for joining us let me just start you took this tweet down but there was a tweet that you issued once that i found very compelling i said after breck's it after trump a world is collapsing and your response to that was the content was right maybe the framing was wrong but i look at that and say you know that that that was a world collapsing my question now is is that worl

or from any other part of the united states. narrator: in the guatemalan foothills, a mysterious deco -- a training depot where some of the rebels have been based. observers have said otherwise. professional soldiers are among the teachers and once trained, the men mysteriously disappear. guatemala has held no brief for the castro regime and has aided the rebels. ♪ >> in cuba, people have pushed back the invaders and 300,000 militia men have been mobilized. the invasion was successful in the early hours with fidel blaming the u.s. is it the first chink in his armor? ♪

there was also a massive project for the united states to carry out. the federal government was still quite small in the 1830s. president jackson had to personally sign every land deed in the united states, and he spent one miserable december signing thousands of them by hand and was still thousands behind schedule. eventually they passed a law that said somebody else could sign the deeds. it gives an idea of how small the federal government was. in this section which we called machinery removal, we focused on how epic a project it was and how it was brilliantly successful in meeting one of its goals which was to create economic wealth in the united states and a catastrophe in that the act imagined it could do that and this would somehow be a good thing for american indians. of course, it was a disastrous failure. one of the things that few people understand is that removal from the passage of the act until the final removal treaties were amend and changed and the final payments were made out, it actually spanned nine presidential administrations and t

no united states participants. no united states government airplanes of any kind. these two plans to the best of our knowledge, were castro zone air force planes and according to the pilots, they took off from his own air force fleet. -- castsro's own. it has the marking of the castro air force on the tail was everybody can see for themselves. >> one of the plans is at eight miami airfield. it is identified as a b 26. castro's b 26 is have no nosedive. the pilot is identified to menus paper picture as a member of the brigade. the extra key to parted was intended to destroy castro's air force. tomorrow planned. castro has been dealt a serious blow but his entire air force has not been destroyed. the crucial part is free trainers are -- three jet trainers are untouched. >> the airstrike has humiliated the united states before the world. it has humiliated this man who do not know what he told the u.n. was not the truth. the unit states reacts to the outcry of the bombing. the other two airstrikes are postponed. this decision leaves castro with three on damaged jets. t

i said if anybody gets out of north korea, they should come to the united states. not many people took advantage of it, but joseph kim did. the man survivors and now thrives. it's a remarkable story. americans need to pay attention to that kind of story and say wow, that's the kind of person we want in our country. >> i would like to become someone like you one day. i don't say this lightly and i don't say that for it to be published. i really mean it. so thank you. >> that's all the time we have tonight. thank you for watching. and a special thanks to president bush and those who share their incredible stories with us. good night. welcome, today's discussion will be around sliced meat. moms want healthy... and affordable. land o' frost premium!!! no added hormones either. it's the only protein i've really melted with. land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste. i'm erin. -and i'm margo. we've always done things our own way. charted our own paths. i wasn't going to just back down from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. psoriatic arthritis wasn't goin

with the united states of america. what happens to the cherokee nation if we side with the confederacy that has split from the united states? what are the consequences? the confederacy did a great deal of courting the cherokee's, they offered essentially a better deal. it didn't help anything that united states was not really keeping a lot of its promises during this time period. i don't know if you can imagine that? that the united states in the indian tribes but it happened. the government of the cherokee nation wanted to remain neutral was feeling a great deal of pressure from people who said, look the united states does not really living up to its word, and it looks like these southerners might have an edge, and the southerners are offering us so much in terms of treasure and land and control, maybe we have a better deal with that. so the folks who lived largely sided with the confederacy, sort of lined up withstand weighed, weighty lines up with the treaty party and ross lines up with the treaty party. ultimately

states you keep these other issues out because when it comes to human rights violations united states is 2nd to none in the walk the crimes against humanity in syria and yemen and across the region or when it comes to weapons systems the united states is surrounded iran with military bases and the iranians really if there is a 8 about who's causing trouble in that region i think the iranians will have a lot more to say in iran there are many people who oppose the deal in iran many people believe that it was a. orally designed and orly crafted agreement but ultimately after all of the debates the there was a consensus that we will agree to it and not afterwards all iranians except a deal even those who oppose it so the united states you know they're the excuse that certain parts of the state or the deep state are opposed to the deal that does nothing for iran. the iranians are saying that look when the deal was negotiated by then was the vice president he was the part of that it ministration that administration cheated iran because they were supposed to abide by their commitments and t

so the united states botanic garden is a very old institution within the united states government with really fascinating routes. it may not seem obvious today, but the founding fathers were quite unified in their insistence on the creation of a national botanic garden. i like to begin the story of the united states botanic garden in 1796 when george washington wrote a letter in which he laid out his vision for a federal university and a federal botanical garden and he was quite adamant as the chief executive at the time that it be present near the president's house would eventually became the white house and unfortunately washington never lived to see the botanic garden realized within his lifetime nor did the botanical garden get put actually near the white house, but eventually it was created and as a part of the united states capital complex. i should note one interesting thing if i may as a point of syntax. i will always try to say botanic garden when speaking about the us botanic garden but in the general sense talking about generic botanical gardens. i may go back and forth and

biden jr., president of the united states. president biden: madam speaker, majority leader schumer, minority leader mccarthy, my friend minority leader mcconnell, members of congress chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, attorney general, mayor bowser, all the capitol hill police and all that are here to pay tribute to this capital policeman who fell in the line of duty. acting chief pittman and men and women of the capitol police force, i am sorry. the second time in two months we have had such a ceremony. you know, i did not know billy, but i knew billy. i grew up with billies. in scranton, pennsylvania. billy was a kid, who if you were outnumbered in a fight three to one, he would jump in. knowing you both would get beat up. he was the one who always kept his word. if he said he would be there, he would be there. he was the one who, just like the folks i grew up with, he was not capable of saying no, when you needed him. you know, just like you, officer kenny, who was injured in the attack with billy. never has there been

the united states was able to navigate. many foreign policy storms in large part due to eisenhower's personal meetings with national leaders of all stripes. at the end of his administration relations with our european allies were quite strong. as strong as they had ever been. despite several difficulties in the middle east us soviet relations on the whole were slightly friendlier at the end of eight years than they were at the beginning. and goodwill tours created time new times with nations in the near east far east in latin america that would help determine how the united states dealt with foreign policy for decades to come. personal diplomacy the way i practice it fra as i would say worked. good evening, my fellow americans. over the past several weeks. you have heard a number of reports on tv radio and in your newspapers on the situation in southeast asia. i think the time has come for me as president and as commander in chief of our armed forces to put these reports in perspective.

-- push of desperate people to come to the united states. we can all agree that the messaging that was done rapidly that the united states would undo the inhumane policies of the trump administration, separating children from their parents, ripping kids from the arms of their parents. hundreds of those children have not been reunited with their families. it was important to stop that policy. and i think candidate biden had pledged to do so. but there were a rapid number of executive actions that did send a message, perhaps too strong a message, that the united states was open for business, and abide administration moved quickly to counter that. the coyotes were taking advantage and exploiting that message, spreading false rumors about how now, people could migrate, making people pay thousands of dollars that they didn't have, going into debt, borrowing from family members to make the dangerous journey. and i think there has been a strong effort through radio, media, tv, to tell people, do not come. what was interesting about the announcement

the cherokee leader was was a national political figure in the united states. he was pretty well known. he was somebody who could marshall allies in the country and both politicians members of congress but also civic groups and there were legislators who were very very opposed. to what this act was talking about which was a removal of american indians. so we knew that most americans today if they know the term trail of tears, they understand it as a moment of national shame for the united states or very few people that say that was our finest hour. that was just great. let's do it again. so we know people understand it was something that the country regrets but what we were very interested in doing is trying to explain how there was a real national debate about this the people at the time including even people in congress predicted. this would not go well in the country would regret it and we wanted to show that it was a national conversation that happened. so in this section, we show a range of points of view. actually start with president jefferson who is a l

citizens of the united states. the first immigrants we have to remind them came from europe. so the legal status for immigrants since this country was formed and now it's over 20 years since we have had any kind of immigration reform in our country. and we need it right now especially in this critical time. >> we have talked about the need for a latino representation and elected bodies whether congress or in california or texas or new mexico but there are moments latinos run for office you endorse the african-american candidate. why is coalition building still so important to you? what drives you when you pick a candidate? >> those that really have our values and of them doing that. it's important to have latino representation but those that would represent what the people need and want. actually every person elected think they are public servant who has to do public service. so we want to choose people on their values and not just as a group. we do need latino representation of more women but not all women or repr

we're welcome to the united states. they were accepted under what is called parole power which allowed the united states to accept refugees and circumvent its own immigration laws, which at this time. if you recall were pretty restrictive. throughout much of the cold war the executive branch used the loophole in immigration law the parole power to admit refugees when it deemed that it was in the national interest to do so. most of those refugees admitted were fleeing the left or fleeing left wing or communist regimes. finally in 1959 cuban exiles began to arrive. the first cubans who arrived were batista sympathizers who were feared reprisals from the castro government? 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 ref

legislature of one state in the united states to try and take on 56789 corporations that are some of the biggest in the united states and say it's us against you you know what i got my money on the corporations and you think that these this action can help pull this back a little bit by these corporations if they put enough pressure on the state you think yeah no i do i do i do think so i mean i think right now the republican party in georgia in particular feels like it's almost grieving because they lost an election they should have won they lost it not because the democrats worked harder but because they gave it to them on a silver platter and instead they're now trying to punish democrats for doing something that they really didn't do host of the news with rick sanchez rick sanchez himself always insightful and pleasure to have you on the show have a good friday. and time now for a quick break but when we come back with the vaccination gaining steam could we soon see the return of live music on the other side we talk to an expert in the field about what we can expect moving forwar
