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 assistance of a national botanic garden. i like to begin the story in 1796 when george washington wrote a letter in which he laid out his vision for a federal university and a federal botanical garden. he was quite adamant as the chief executive at the time, that he be present near, the white house. washington never live to see the botanic garden realized within his lifetime. nor did the botanical garden actually get near the white house, but eventually it was created as part of the united states capitol. i should note one interesting thing if i may, has a point of syntax, i will always try to say botanic garden when and it's quite interesting botanic and garden, talking about generic botanical gardens, it's quite interesting, botanic and botanical are used interchangeably. whether or not they were used in the naming of the botanic institution is more a function of the time period in

delegation sent to vienna is headed by robert malley who has said openly that the united states needs to resend the sanctions regional issues human rights and ballistic missiles off the table bring the original j.c.b. away back into force and then address these other issues but as i understand secretary of state and national security advisor sullivan and some others are not so forthcoming so i think the u.s. 1st of all needs to put its own house in order to get a consistent and here and policy and then implement it and as you mentioned in the introduction the proximity or indirect talks that have started in vienna at this week moderated by the europeans on the very 1st day they have set up 2 technical working groups one on the reception of u.s. sanctions and one on the technical steps that iran would need to take to restart its compliance on the nuclear side so this at least is a good start the harmony one of the things i find interesting is that the news reports and i'm reading is that they're talking only about the agreement itself not the other periphery issues which again really k

it puts the united states in a bind. even if the united states do not partake in this operation as u.s. officials have tried to say overnight, even if the united states did not partake, does the united states have advance warning? does it benefit? israeli press reports say u.s. officials are satisfied with what the israelis have done. either way, it puts the united states in a very bad position in any perception of talks over iran's nuclear program. >> how is this being seen in iran? >> people basically believe this was carried out with u.s. support because all israeli acts of terror and sabotage have been carried out with support from u.s. military bases surrounding iran, u.s. embassies, sometimes other embassies. we also have a history where iea -- iaea have passed on intelligence to the israeli regime. whether biden himself knew it or not, there is the possibility the pentagon and the cia went behind his back, as with all repeatedly during the trump administration. whether biden knew or not, it does not make a differe

what's the latest with the situation with johnson and johnson here in the united states. so after many thought it would add clarity to the world out of the johnson and johnson troubled one doze club in $1000.00 vaccine it seems nothing is really quite clear at the moment after u.s. health of michelle's meant to review cases of the blood clots in the 6 people who received the j. and j. vaccine both the c.d.c. and the f.d.a. recommended that the u.s. continue to positive acts in but said very little about the investigation into whether that vaccine might actually be linked to the cases of the rare blood clots or one that i am back seen might be available again and here are the details of the cases of the 6 recipients that we know so far now all 6 are woman one is a 45 year old who died and the other one is a 38 year old who has not recovered an 18 year old who has not recovered 48 year old who has not recovered there is a 26 year old who has recovered and a 28 year old who status is yet unknown now there is possible 2 other cases and all we know so far is that both are also

people watched about 4 hours of t.v. a day and now that stat on average at least in the united states is about the same it's about 4 hours. just to show that the difference with social media in 2010 people spent 12 and a half minutes per day on social media in today they spend 2 and a half hours per day and so it's gone up 10 times in 10 years per person well the number of people using social media has grown from about 500000000 to 3000000000 people. so it's it's explosive. in that sense and it's addictive and. you know the data the mental health data on t.v. just looks very different than than social media just in terms of the impact that social media usage has on my mental wellbeing we know that it makes me depressed and we know that it makes me anxious. that you're saying they averaged hours 2 and a half hours i wish it was that low in my case actually it's much more than that 2 and a half hours well that's nothing compared to what happens to me now like we agree right that this sort of a concept of catching my attention and being by manipulating is really an old concept and old th

states which is being held back in the act, by these internal nations in the united states. so it's a very clear in what it's saying, that we are doing this for economic development reasons, and it's extremely misleading in that it implies that this is, this is voluntary, this is an offer. and it's misleading in than it does not concede that is really targeting indian nations in the south. so after the indian removal act was passed in may of 1830, indian nations still fought against it. they still marshaled public opinion. they filed suit in the united states supreme court to prevent it and, you know, kept fighting, really, throughout the 18 thirties. some indian nations did go ahead with removal, and it's important to remember the conditions on the ground were really, really hard at that point, that indians were under attack, under racist attack, and a lot of indians really understood where this was all going. the cherokee nation fought to the very, very and. and one -- and it's become understood in american imagination to be primarily about the cherokee nation, and i think

the first bank of the united states and the second bank of the united states and basically bailed -- failed because people didn't want to bestow a lot of power on a government agency in a major city on the east coast. the agricultural interest and the big country, they just weren't comfortable with it. in any case, both of those died after about a quarter of a true. there was a long time after without a central bank. the reason this succeeds and it's thriving, is because we have a balance between our board of governors here in washington, nominated by presidents and confirmed by the senate with terms that are not co-terminals with presidential cycle. so we're non political, we're not part of the political cycle. but also 12 reserve banks all around the country who are deeply grounded in their communities and understand their communities, the states and the cities and the towns where they are. so it's a much more balanced and sustainable model, and i think it really works and i think because of that, we keep in better touch with the whole country and what's going on in the whole count

and yet the united states often, over the course of the last 20 years has tolerated warlords and drug traffickers, and corrupt defense contractors because we considered the enemy of our enemy to be our friend. our entire mission has often been built on a self-defeating strategy. in fact, what began as a vital mission to eliminate the threat of those who attacked us on september 11 has now in some ways become a symbol of nearly everything that is wrong with american foreign policy. our armed presence in afghanistan epitomizes this hubristic myth around the power of u.s. troops abroad, that they can completely dim -- dismantle terraced networks by force, install and cultivate a stable democratic government and eliminate rampant corruption and illegal drug cultivation. two decades and nearly $2 trillion of spending later we have seen the limitations of those fantastical assumptions. our generals have offered powerpoint presentation after powerpoint presentation on how this time it will be different but it never is, because the failure really is not in the execution. the failure has been

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

this is an answer you know people are expecting some kind of an answer from the united states but it's an answer that leads to more questions. it's more worry it's more uncertainty and people just kind of feel like now it's going to be 4 more months of worry 4 more months of wondering what's going to happen next so it's not really any kind of a solid answer it's an answer that leads to more questions what has been happening there on the ground because you know we we have reports in the past year there has been this surge in violence especially targeted killings among civilians among among women among you know civil society groups people like journalists judges for example walk us through what's been happening there on the ground and what it's been like for civilians. this is exactly the pres like now we're at a state where like i'll give you an example couple months ago i traveled to logout province which is about 40 minutes south of kabul and that province has always been unstable it's always been insecure it's always been plagued with. poverty but and in the past when we would go to

states policy which led to a failure of united states power. clearly the united states had the naked power to destroy castro, but it could not ignore world opinion and use this power. it could not risk the repercussions of that might follow the slaughter of cubans and the occupation of cuba by united states forces. could not risk the possible escalation of nuclear war. one alternative that suggested itself was indirect intervention, carried out secretly under cia supervision. the cia's solution was a carefully-controlled military operation. it is ignored, for the most part, the underground inside cuba, which could not he controlled. left-wing former castro supporters, considered politically unreliable, were shut off from participation. no real effort was made to bring about an uprising of the cuban people. the divided and mercurial cuban exile leaders were felt to be undependable and all real control was taken out of their hands. the cia put its faith in the brigade, small, politically reliable, controlled by united states agents. an attempt wa

that's i think probably the time when the united states, other than in this cold war period, paid the most -- the greatest amount of attention, devoted the greatest amount of resources, and yet a lot of those efforts were dialed back if not canceled during the trump years. so we are once again with a migration surge and a sense that what is wrong in central america needs to be addressed, or we are never really going to reduce these tremendous migration pressures that have dogged administrations for many years. it's not just a problem that the biden administration is facing. host: to our viewers, here's your opportunity to bounce your perspectives, questions, and comments at cynthia arnson. republicans dial in at (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. text us at (202) 748-8003. just put your first name and city and state. tina from huntington, independent. caller: thank you for taking my call. i come from miami in the 1980's and watched that surge. my question and concern as we continue to throw money at these countries. we are throwing it to the count

for the united states. and suddenly you're completely right and as far as and the stand americans know that the ukraine would like those who would like to well do americans in a very awkward situation either you or you help us know they're talking about us bad nuclear weapons it's a made matter for the american or the united states but back to the ukrainians. i mean that some talk of a bit of a bit very position the fissionables completely irresponsible complete play sponsors not the top in protected by them came on the shelves of another fire last publicized phone call based on between the chiefs of staff of the russian and the american army and from what i heard from my sources it was a very polluted pro long and detailed discussion do you think there is any connection between these 2 you phone calls for of course it's their right to mention because they're american. and joint chiefs. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff here knows that it's not the 1st don't. we you're in your eyes and love and he knows

-- 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

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

it will take a lot of work to rebuild confidence in the united states it will take determination over time and i will hasten to add with people in government alone. even in the last four years, when the government retreated if they leaned in and those of us -- of the u.s. in the tech sector, especially, it's a powerful reminder of the opportunity we have to contribute for this enormous responsibility we have to entrust ourselves to have guardrails around technology and to do more to address the concerns that people have, often times about technology itself. john: well, as we face 2021, you know it's just recently the last few days, where the first indicators came to us about covid. in less than a year, we have suffered hundreds of thousands of millions of infected, the tanking of our economy, separate but related, a national reckoning on race and social justice are very clear indicator that there is a climate crisis right on the horizon with the whole presidential election , which has played out very poignantly in the last 24 hours of our conversation and another president, another gr
