the united states took the only responsible course. we withdrew from the human rights council and we will not return until real reform is enacted. for similar reasons, the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal court. as far as america is concerned, the icc has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. the icc claims near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country. violating all principles of justice, fairness and due , process, we will never surrender sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy. america is governed by americans. we reject the ideology of globalism and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism. around the world, responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty, not just from global governments but also from other forms of coercion and domination. in america we believe in energy , security, for ourselves and for our allies. we have become the largest energy producer anywhere on the face of the earth. the united states stands

the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective, and accountable. i have said many times that the united nations has unlimited potential as part of our reform effort i told our negotiators the united states will not pay more than 25 percent of the us peacekeeping budget this will encourage other countries to step up and get involved and also share in this very large burden. we are working to shift more of the funding of contributions to voluntary to target american resources with the best record of success. only when each of us does our part and contributes our share, can we realize the un's highest aspirations. we must pursue peace without fear, hope without despair and security without apology. looking around this hall for what has transpired think of the many before us who address the challenges of their nations and of their times and our thoughts turn to the same question that ran through all of their speeches and resolutions to every word and hope, what kind of world will be leave for our children? and what will they inherit? the dreams that fi

the united states pushes forward its ambitious project of a pan arab alliance against iran but there are deep divisions brought on by the gulf crisis so can washington's desire to rope in israel along with the arab states against a common enemy actually succeed and what does it mean for president trump's middle east peace plan this is inside stuart. welcome to the program today with me peter w. washington has begun putting together a plan to forge and iran alliance with the arab countries now the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei has met foreign ministers of the gulf cooperation council states and egypt and jordan they discuss the perceived threats posed by iran to peace and stability across the middle east however the g.c.c. is of course a house divided once the blockade imposed on by some of its neighbors lifted before the u.s. security plan can be considered credible husham. discussion today from new york. a gathering of gold fry vel's. this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since the fou

it certainly has no consent whatever from the united states. as americans, we fully understand that consent to the government is a prerequisite to true legitimacy. we reject such a flagrant violation of our national sovereignty. to make matters worse, the court structure is contrary to fundamental american principles, including checks and balances on authority, through the separation of powers. our founders believed that a division of authority among three separate ranches of government would provide the maximum level of protection for individual liberty. the international criminal court melds two of these branches together. in the i.c.c. structure, the executive branch, the office of the prosecutor is an orbegan of the court. the framers of our constitution considered such a melding of powers unacceptable for our own government and we should not accept it in the icc. other governments may choose whichs reject the powers but not the , united states. there are no mechanisms to hold the court and its personnel accountable or curtail its unchecked

they stay in the united states. at one juncture, it was up to the 1970's, 90% or more stay in the united states. they are mostly coming to the united states. but something happens in the 1970's, because by the 1970's, taiwan's economy has started to develop and it is moving into an advanced economy stage. now, part of it has to do with the trickle of taiwanese students that go back to help set taiwan on this path toward development, another significant component is that the united states, between 1950 and 1965, investing a lot of capital in taiwanese agriculture. and with infrastructure, it is sending experts over to advise taiwan. the united states is deeply committed to taiwan's economic development and eventual political stabilization. though -- so in the 1950's, 1960's, there were not that many jobs for highly trained technicians, engineers, and scientists. but by the time you get to the 1970's, it has changed. so there is more and more incentive for people to go back. again, this is something to think about in

to the united states. honestly, he was in my office so quickly from europe that i do not know they had airplanes that flew that fast. i said, where did you flop -- find this plane? we have the semblance of a deal. because it is to a large extent, economically i'll about cars. -- economically all about cars. cars is a big factor. they send millions of bmws and mercedes into our country. we are working on trade very hard. it is important for me. it has been for 30 years. i have been saying for 30 years, started with japan. i talked about japan. i was right. i talked about china. i was right. it is what i do. i like doing it. but i like doing it for the people. because our country has been abused and taken advantage of by virtually every country that it does business with. and we are not letting that includes what i said previously about the military. please. reporter: president duda, welcome back to the u.s. as it relates to the eu relations, the president mentioned that poland is the proud member of pulp --

the united states and the i.c.c. have had a rocky relationship since the court's inception the united states is not a member it doesn't it refuses international jurisdiction over its nationals but following the prosecutor's decision to open a case and to investigate alleged war crimes by u.s. military personnel and u.s. intelligence personnel in afghanistan that relationship has worsened and that's when we heard john bolton really use very harsh language against the i.c.c. it's not really the first time that john bolton has used such language he was an official in the bush administration and since then he has been trying to undermine the credibility of the court now the i.c. i c c did not react to following john bolton speech but when x. excerpts of his speech were released by the media they did send us a statement now in their statement of the courts of mentions that it benefits from the membership of of some one hundred fifty parties from from across the world trying really to defend its credibility even though the

the bank of the united states. this is the second bank of the united states. if you recall from earlier in the semester, there was a first bank of the united states. 1791, alexander hamilton pushes through congress a bank of the united states. this bank a private bank with stockholders and dividends. this bank, hamilton says, will benefit not only financial interests, but will benefit the country, the public. how will it benefit the public? because the u.s. treasury will deposit money in the bank coming in from taxes and the treasury can borrow money from the bank. it has a 20-year charter but lots of opponents. the chief opponent, thomas jefferson hates the bank. the bank, jefferson believes, is an imperils american liberty by elevating to power a wealthy financial elite. jefferson opposes it. jefferson comes to power in 1800, the first banks charter expires, but one year later, a war iraq with britain. a very expensive war -- a war erupts with britain, a very extensive war. thomas jefferson charters a second bank of the united states and this bank, much like

together with the united states hopefully. not having the nuclear deal in place would not put us in a better position toiscuss with iran the rest that we need to address. indeed, we have started to discuss with iran the last couple of months the situation in n,ye the situation in syria. i believe we are better hesitioned with agreement to discuss and address and achieve results on the issues than without. >> you have spoken over and t again about security, ab making sure you maintain the global security so far as you can. some said that maybe you shouldn't be using just that as your paradigm. for instance, eli lake of bloomberg, if she didn't exist, the oug autocrats w trying to create her. dictators should not aim to transition these countries to open societies but rather to prevent conflict at all cost. >> the? question is >> the question is, do they have a point? is there, for stance, a stronger way you couldr eit then or now be engaging iran on human rights as well as for instance ernon-prolion? >> we are the only one in t

states and north korea's very low to be fair to the north koreans united states has also cheated on nuclear treaties with rogue states most obviously with libya seven years ago are ten years ago right so there's low strategic trust on both sides which is why these big grand gestures are sort of denuclearization exchange for peace treaty these large things they're just not going to happen what we need to do is kick this back down to the working level and lead diplomats start making small steps and build toward something more substantial this is just not a big bang approach is just not going to work and once the american election said after the midterms the democrats take the house of representatives and trump is embroiled in investigations and scandal all this is going to disappear in twelve weeks the trauma administration is not going to be talking about north korea suing i mean if just robert talking about the domestic implications of the deal on my top annex do you think that. the south korean president is taking over those things into consideration and what would be the options a

not because of the united states. i came to the united states from the university which is -- built in 1953. that was the university i was working. it was built by united states. my first english teacher was a peace corps gentleman. i love him dearly, and they showed us the good of people. so i deeply thank the united states for their help, and thank you for that question. and now in the short past we've had some questionable support. it is not because of the united states support. it is our people who are bad on the top of the government who are using that support in their own direction. so i am thinking, you know, suggesting any help, even if it's bad, it helps somebody in that country which needs that help. so if united states support, we appreciate. i am thankful of that. thank you. >> thank you. mr. said, how do you think, or how do you view the united states but how do you think the people of ethiopia right now view the united states? >> take as much. it is a great question. let me start from this, from the memb

welcome to all of you around the united states and the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the show. president trump spent much of his week at the united nations general assembly criticizing iran. >> the regime is the world's leading sponsor of terror and fuels conflict across the region and far beyond. >> iran's leaders sew chaos, death and destruction. >> i'll talk to one of those leads about the president's charges. iran's foreign minister javad zarif joins me in a moment. also, how to fight back against vladimir putin. lessons from petro poroshenko, the president of ukraine. his nation is literally on the front lines of russian aggression, and how to handle immigration from across the globe. i'll talk with mexico's president, switzerland's president and new zealand's prime minister on their views about one of the most divisive issues today. >>> but first, here is my take. president trump's speech on tuesday at the u.n. was an intelligent, at times eloquent presentation of his america first world view. he laid

i'm able to be hosted here at the state of president of the united states at the white house in washington. also from this perspective, the perspective of the centennial poland gaining its independence, this fact is a future pardon for pols for those living abroad and internationally, 10 million pols living in the united states this is huge symbolic importance. one reason for that, that matter of polish independence was one of the important points of the policy of the u.s. president wilson. it was precisely president wilson -- before 1918, he was the one who put the polish independence on his agenda, on the agenda of his policy. that happened among other thanks to a great polish politician and musician. it's a fact that pols experienced back then a lot of good from the united states and from the president of the united states because there are no other words to describe the fact that great state indicated to poland and defined poland as a country who should be reinstated back to the map of the world and was reinstated on the map 100 years ago in 1918 and i'm absolutely delighted today as t

the united states took the only responsible course. we withdrew from the human rights council, and we will not return until real reform is enacted. for similar reasons, the united states will provide no support and recognition to the international criminal. as far as america is concerned, the icc has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. the icc claims near-universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all principles of justice, fairness, and due process. we will never surrender america's sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy. america is governed by american americans. we reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism around the world. responsible nations must defend against threats to sovereignty. and not just from global governments, but from other newer forms of coercion and domination. in america, we believe strongly in energy security. for ourselves, and for our allies. we have become the largest energy producer anywhere on the face of the eart

we have had this debate in the united states before. for our younger participants, i want to remind you we have had this conversation more than once. this is not new to american politics. we talked about burden sharing with our allies in the 1960s. senator said, europeans pay up. there was a debate in our congress about amending our support on nato, based on how much europeans paid. these are consistent and continuous conversations that we ought to be having with our allies on alliance equities and i think we ought to make sure the american people support these alliances. they are important in that sense. i think this is what actually looks like one of our stronger relationships at the moment, because i think a lot of these indicators are shifting in a direction the american people should feel more confident about. we have also had economic reassessments of how we participate in the global economy, whether it is trade deals with japan or the plaza agreement in 1985. whether you go back to the 70s and think about the smithsonian agreemen

to the united states. that conception was rebutted by an economic study that was actually commissioned by the trump administration and done by the trump administration that found that the refugee program has netted the united states economy about $63 billion over the last 10 years. so the economic argument really doesn't work, even compared to the administration's own findings. host: so this is adam bates with the international assistance project, here to talk about this proposed refugee cap. it was announced earlier this week. if you want to ask him questions, it's (202) 748-8000 for democrats, republicans (202) 748-8001, and independents (202) 748-8002. if you are a refugee in the united states and you want to give your perspective, it is (202) 748-8003, and you can also reach out to us via twitter at cspanwj. what is the process of negotiation from this cap announced by the administration to what has to go on with legislators on capitol hill? how does that work? adam: at the end of the day, the administ

mostly the united states. the united states was always more global, far reaching and they have got along by agreements that set up institutions that take politics out of the management of the relationship. we sound a treaty that created an international commission that looks at management of the great lakes, water quality. invasive species and presidents don't need to worry about that at all. it is coming along below the surface. we have and air defense agreement set up in the early cold war to protect the shared airspace because we feared they would come over north america and we needed the institution. when it is needed it is not necessary to go back to the president -- of the united states as in 9/11 when we needed to do something because we did not know. the canadians ordered american and canadian fighters to secure the airspace. they were not trying to get around the politics. nafta is the most central institution in the relationship. what is unnerving them is shaking up of something foundational that the

we want to keep jobs in the united states. maybe that is done in a more effective way by allowing the free flow of goods and services in and out of the nine states, particularly as we see the economic transformation. guest: it is a fine balance. governments do not create jobs. governments create a more educated workforce and resilient workforce but it is the private sector that creates jobs. at the same time, as we have communities struggling with preserving the documents we have, we have the same community . do we let investment promotion trips to canada, mexico, we want more investment? that is what creates jobs. for working people, at the same time, as we are not making cost so high and conditions are difficult. manufacturers do not want to stay in the united states. host: mark, line for republicans. go ahead. caller: i want to give a shout out to canada, which has the same natural resources, even more so than the u.s., if you count diamonds and things of that nature. likes a population florida, so they are the wealthiest p

europe was two to three years behind the united states. in the u.s. federal reserve two years ago, with the labor market having more confidence reaching full employment. europe is not there yet. if the ecb still has negative interest rates in a year with some improvement in the labor market. : i'm wonderingie how you are senior approach at the moment. seeing a strong participation by investors. just given some of the headlines, we have had somewhat outlook for two years. the u.s. equity market has been stronger than anticipated. valuation still have significant merit for investors trying to orient our portfolio the next several years. that marketseve outside the united states may have slightly higher expect it returns in the next several years. we are seeing and urging investors to have modestly lower spec tatian's, but you withdraw from the markets. we see a significant risk of a recession. vonnie: do you see a bear market bonds? no, we would need to see a significant selloff at the long end. there is always a risk of that, but we have fairly high co

dates. -- united states. many of the refugees are in camps. one of the key aspects in being a refugee is you are facing persecution and unsafe conditions in your homeland, you cannot go back. but refugees, before they come to the united states, have already been vetted and authorized. they already have an immigrant visa. as i said before, you can go through all of these processes, but if the united states has hit the annual cap of how many refugees they will admit, you have to wait. asylum-seekers, i will add this, you can see the way the united states gets to control refugee admissions. you just have that number. we are only going to admit this number of refugees. one of the tensions and concerns around asylum-seekers is that you don't have the same control. the international law and u.s. law is that asylum-seekers can come to the united states and request asylum. their case is supposed to be evaluated. this is the law. but the united states can't control them, the number that apply, you are just supposed to

that tension manifested itself in the united states in the second red scare. the first red scare occurred after world war i. in this talk, i explore an important element of the red scare, the effect of spies real and imagined, on the american political system and the fear of communist subversion of the american way of life. several incidents occurred to reinforce america's fear of communist spies. one of the chief reasons for this fear involved the atomic bomb, which was used during the -- to end the war against japan in 1945. this slide here shows the bond -- bomb that was detonated over nagasaki, japan on august 9, 1945. the first bomb was detonated over hiroshima three days earlier, august 6, 1945. for four years between 1945 and 1949, the united states was the only nation in the world that possessed the atomic bomb. in july, 1945, a few weeks before the end of world war ii, harry truman informed soviet leader joseph stalin at a conference in germany of the u.s. development of the atomic bomb. remember, this is just a few weeks before the bomb was actually

states and china on a political level is not going to move if the united states and the white house in front of all the cameras puts pressure on china a better strategy would probably be to do work behind the scenes and to team up with other countries canada and the european union but not to go it alone now let's talk about what china could do because with china importing far less from the u.s. than the other way around the possibilities to respond with tariffs on u.s. products are rather limited could they retaliate via the bond market do you think. well i think china has a lot of possibilities to retaliate and they could actually make life much harder for us american companies that are active in the united states this doesn't have to work through tariffs they could just make they could erect minnesota barriers they could actually force more joint ventures on the americans they could actually give preference to u.s. competition which actually there have already if you look at the car industry they have lower tariffs or they have now have lower tariffs for cars for countries outside

nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when the security council wouldn't go along or it created a coalition of the willing to invade and destroy iraq in two thousand and three it only supports the united nations when the united nations signs off and americans american wars of aggression when the u.n. says independently no we don't want that the united states is a fierce critic of the other parties in the united nations and it just goes its own way anyway the u.n. is only useful to the us if it's a fig leaf for us aggression good to speak to appreciate you coming on brownback if and what answers. on to other news now the university of maryland in the u.s. has issued leaflets inviting white students to join a group called white awake to discuss racial issues do you want to improve your ability to brulé to and connect with people different from you soon. do you sometimes feel uncomfortable confused before during interactions with racial and ethnic minoritie

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

state her case. he will state his case. before representatives of the united states senate. and then they will vote. they will look at his career, they will look at what she had to say from the 36 years ago. we will see what happens. i just think he is at a level that we rarely see not only in government, anywhere in life. honestly, i feel terribly for him, his wife who is an incredible lovely woman and for his beautiful young daughters. i feel terrible for them. reporter: on trade, mr. president, you announced a new trade tariffs against china. trade tariffs are an important part of your economic and trade policy. in your first year in office, the u.s. trade deficit increased by 12% per last month, we saw the trade deficit increase to $72 billion. my question to you is, is your trade tariff policy working? pres. trump: where would you started? we did not do anything with respect to china because we wanted to have the benefit of china doing with north korea. they have been helpful. i hope they are still helpful. there is a question about that. it got to a point where the num

united states. a balanced trade relationship provides more exports than any other country from the united states. canada is a small country and cannot continue with the instability with investors keeping their hands in their pockets, with manufacturers slowing down. that instability is problematic and has been for quite a while. prime minister judo's political -- prime minister trudeau's opposition is stepping up and says they're concerned about what he is doing to the economy. the first time in this process that the prime minister is getting domestic push back at home. >> if you have questions about negotiations, give us a call, democrats at 202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001 negots a. independents, 202-748-8002. outside the united states, we want to hear from you, especially in the --202-748-8003 is the number and you will join the discussion. remind viewers that the wilson center is? guest: a nonpartisan think tank created by congress in 1968. our mission is to advance understanding of the w

that the united states is an unwelcoming hostile place. so recent dramatic cuts to the resettlement program have been predicated on this notion that they pose an undue risk into the united states. the vetting procedures do not work. all of the evidence suggests that this claim is unfounded. this is almost 40 years of history here. not a single refugee has been involved in a fatal terrace act on the united states. that includes the tens of thousands of refugees that we had resettled from syria and iraq. over 70% of the refugees a very small number relative to the 6 million that have been displaced so the 2% are women and children under the age of 14. and a single one has been involved in a terrorist attack. so slashing the program not only runs contrary to american values and commitment to human rights and democracy but it's also counter to our national security interests. it also helps fuel the idea that the united states is a hostile unwelcoming place which promotes the extremist narrative that the united states is hostile to islam. to pe

states are very different than the actions of the united states not only the closure of this mission but also turning a blind eye to ongoing israeli settlements back. expansion rather and also the cutting of bilateral aid to the palestinians and also of course the most symbolic one of all is the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem so well we hear that this is an effort to bring about peace is seems just the opposite thank you for a white house correspondent live there in washington now we'll have reaction to the closure of the piano office in washington in just a moment we'll be speaking to ari fawcett who is standing by in ramallah in the occupied west bank but first let's go to i.c.c. headquarters in the hague in the netherlands and holder is therefore is quite a tough posture from the u.s. administration from john bolton as we heard in his remarks any reaction from the i.c.c. so far. well like you mentioned hard harsh language she was not diplomatic but we did get reaction from the international criminal court before her before that speech excerpts of that speech

united states to designate the commander of the forces. the same resolution authorize the unified command at its discretion to use the united nations flag in the course of its operations concurrently with the flag of the various nations participating. in its first report to the security council on the operations of the command, the united states informed the security council that on 25 july, 1950, unified command was established in the security council first use the name united nations command in resolution 88 on eight november, 1950. name, thending its united nations command is not a united nations operation or body nor does it come under the command and control of the united nations. furthermore, it was not established as a subsidiary organism of the secret counsel is not funded on the united nations budget. as such, there are no reporting lines between the united nations and the united nations secretariat. madam president, the secretary-general in the upcoming high-level brief of united nations general assembly discuss how he and the un

other governments, but not the united states. there are no mechanisms to hold the court and its personnel accountable or curtail its unchecked powers when required. icc proponents argue that corrupt or ineffective judges can be removed by a two thirds vote of parties to their own statute and that a prosecutor can be removed by a majority vote however, i ask everyone in the room today, would you consign the fate of american citizens to a committee of other nations, including venezuela and the democratic republic of the congo, entities that are not even states, like the palestinian authority? you would not, i would not, and this administration will not. the icc is an assembly states party and cannot supervise the court anymore than the united nations general assembly can't -- can supervise u.n. bureaucracy. recent allegations of mismanagement and corruption among icc personnel make this perfect clear. the first prosecutor elected by the states parties attempted to bash the assembly of states parties attempted to protect a high-rank

they're not coming to europe or the united states and canada. they are remaining in the region and countries that are typically poor, have poor capacity, have managed massive flows and often have the same ethnic and sectarian rifts and their society as the country of origin. the united states is strategically using the refugee program as a way to relieve some of the burden on the countries at first asylum in addition to providing generous humanitarian assistance packages. we saw that in vietnam and the coast of opiate and it worked -- and in kosovo and it worked. helped facilitate military cooperation with partners and allies in the region. it is undeniable that we go to places like iraq and afghanistan and syria and somalia that there's going to be a negative impact on countries in the region who are expected to deal with the sizable refugee flow could unite states has facilitated military cooperation from basis to logistics and other support functions by accepting a share of the burden from those countries of first asylum. not only the countri

for decades the united states opened its economy. the largest by far on earth with few conditions we allowed foreign goods from all over the world to flow freely across our borders yet other countries did not grant us fair and reciprocal access to their markets in return. even worse some countries abuse their openness to dump their products subsidize their goods target our industries. and manipulate their currency is to gain unfair advantage over our country. as a result our trade deficit balloon to nearly eight hundred billion dollars a year. for this reason we are systematically renegotiating. broken and bad trade deals. last month we announced a groundbreaking us mexico trade agreement. and just yesterday i stood with president moon. to announce the success. completion of the brand new us korea trade deal. and this is just the beginning. many nations in this hall will agree that the world trading system is in dire need of change. for example countries. were admitted to the world trade organization that violate every single princip

united states government does this all the time u.s. government officials make jokes all the time the president of the united states uses social media extremely effectively and makes lots of jokes on it in fact he probably would not be president if he hadn't used twitter extremely effectively so it's mystifying why anyone would say that this is somehow inappropriate the united states has it i've even seen jokes about things that are pretty grim for example the department of defense twitter account has made jokes about drone strikes and weapons that bomb civilians in afghanistan and elsewhere those are pretty tasteless jokes so i guess you could say that a terribly tasteless joke might be something that would cross the line but jokes themselves are why not they're an important part of dialogue. ok and i don't set return to that comes headline grabbing speech at the u.n. because it wasn't just foreign powers he attacked citation is an oversight came in for some steak and it's kind of muffin i reports it is an argument we've heard from him

experience back then a lot of good from the united states and from the president of the united states because there are no other words to describe the fact that that great state indicated to poland and to find poland as the country who should be a reign stated back on the map of europe and on the back of the world and it was it reinstated on that map one hundred years ago in one thousand nine thousand and. absolutely delighted that today as polish president i can be here in washington state at the same table with the president of the united states and sign an agreement which is deepening our strategic partnership and which is renewing that strategic partnership i'm talking here at the agreement on the strategic partnership such agreement was signed in two thousand and eight and to our countries. a press conference being held right now the white house between the u.s. president on the trump and the polish president dude still speaking as you can see and what trump said just a few moments ago is that he and the polish president discussed energy diversity as well as security in europe an

it is a deal not with the united states, but with the u.n. security council, plus the european union represented by germany. in trump violated that treaty. he withdrew from it and has put the united states on a war to the extentran members of his a administration are openly admitting that they are the great state. we always took that as an insult. john bolton seems to enjoy that. of course, the iranians don't want to meet with trump. and what good would it do -- does he want to renegotiate the deal that already has taken years and years of diplomacy, and trump just withdrew from it? why wouldn't they expect him to withdraw from the next deal? if you have to make a judgment of who is riright here, it is obviously rouhani. but the other thing to say is that it is dangerous to have somebody who lies like this in charge of we are nuclear power. we're doing diplomacy. we are relationship with other countries. this can go to war. amy: we want to thank you, juan cole, for joining us. professor of history at the university of michigan. his blog, "inf

states citizen, a lawful permanent resident must reside continuously in the united states for five years prior to naturalization. for spouses that residency requirement is three years. h.r. 6580 waives that residency requirement altogether for the surviving spouse, child, or parent of a federal, state, or local first responder who dies as a result of injury or illness incur during the line of duty activities as a first responders. there's precedent in immigration law for such a waiver. the language is patterned on the current law whichways the same residency requirements for the surviving spouse, child or parent of a military service member killed while in active duty service in the armed forces. first responsers routinely place their lives in peril to help those of us in need. when they are killed or injured carrying out their duties we know their -- we owe their families a deep debt of gratitude. h.r. 6580 is a small price to pay in return for the sacrifice first responders make every day. he legislation was named after kerrie orozco, an omaha, nebraska, police officer killed while ser

the and they made the same argument in the united states. and there was a line of what i recall anti-capitalist criticism that comes out of the south, that some of it is kind of debating points but some of it is a genuine argument, claiming a kind of paternalistic slave system is actually better for people. like a factory owner, when a worker is old and useless they just throw them out, where a plantation owner is responsible for a slave forever. i think it's a bogus argument but your underlying point is true, exploitation under both systems and in both regions with both races is pervasive. do i think conditions are worse in factories than slavery? no, because there is a unfreedom. there's a different human condition in slave system that transcends simply the material issues, that's profound in so many ways. to me it is not a convincing argument, even though there are good points made along the way about the exploitation and terrible conditions a lot of emerging industry has. >> hey, i'm halfway through the book "portlandia," about henry for
