into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago the secretary of state even expunged the nazi records of people like werner von brown and some of his fellow nazi scientists so that they could work in us intelligence. and verna von braun and his fellow his team of scientists played a key role in the development of the us space program. but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger madeleine albright the german political theorist hannah arendt they have played a key role but there are others they've played a cube role in shaping our political life. they've shaped our cultural life think of the actress, marlena dietrich. the hungarian composer bella bartok the austrian composer arnold stormberg and the russian french painter mark sagal but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight refugees have always played an important role in the political economic and cultural life of our nation. but public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concerned

straight to the united states. especially to places like miami. the policy for cuban refugees at this time was such that these refugees would be given asylum as part of a bigger anti-castro, anti-communist policy. a number of requirements were imposed on these early refugee populations. these requirements illustrated how the united states pursued its own cold war self-interest. first, as i have mentioned, the u.s. offered a special welcome for people fleeing communism. second, a preference was given for refugees who were professionals or highly educated or skilled. this was in keeping with other immigration laws of the period. ultimately, while welcoming displaced people has been seen as a humanitarian act, these humanitarian efforts were often centered on the needs of the united states, the helper. these images future refugees who arrived in the united states during this period. the photo on the left features displaced persons who were registering at an emergency refugee center which housed 1,000 people displaced

he served the united states congress. they also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife. were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, dc? when the south left and formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis. to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1965 jefferson davis received word from general robert e. lee the commander of the army of northern virginia that they no longer could hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news jefferson davis adjourned his cabinet and sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow he would finally catch up with his family right below right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved b

into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago, secretary of state even expunged it need not seen records of people like some of the fellow nonstate scientists so they could work in the u.s. intelligence and the fellows and team of scientist but a key role in theevelopment of the u.s. space program but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger, madeleine albright, the german political theorist, hana our rent. they played a key role but there are others in shaping our political life. and they have shaped our cultural life and think of the actress. in the hungarian composer. in the austrian composer and the russian french painter. but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight, they have always played an important role in the political e economic and culturl life of our nation. the public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concernened about accommodating refugees. no matter how noble the cause, no matter how noble the individual. in 1980,

the united states. so for a poor country that's been at war for more than 40 years, just how likely is there ever to be in afghanistan, that is at peace with itself and its neighbors. and is america leaving it in better shape than it found it. fortunately, were joined by people who have all the answers. andrew base of a professor emeritus at boston university, retired colonel in the u. s. army and author of america's war for the greater middle east. he's also the co founder and president that the quincy institute for responsible stay crap. and joining me here in the studio is hashem. why not? you are a writer, an analyst on international affairs and former spokesman for the united nations in afghanistan. let's start with a clip from pentagon spokesman john kirby. it's their country to defend. now, this is their struggle. the commander in chief has given us a new mission and that mission is to draw down by the end of this month. and that's where we're moving to what it looks like. beyond that, i'm simply

the united states ranked 22nd. what do you make of these countries, pakistan, iran, germany, austria, france taking more refugees? what does that say? guest: i think it reflects broadly the crucial importance for countries of recognizing humanitarian obligations in helping those in need. this was something where the united states role was much more prominent, defined and that has an impact on other countries when they united states will decline. this is going to be an issue and the needs are going to be greater then just what the united states alone can do, but the united states does have a unique responsibility here based upon the twenty-year war and those people who have put their lives at risk for us. host: lisa in tennessee wants to know, if a refugee commits a violent crime, can they be deported? guest: yes. the situation -- when refugees are committed, after a year, they can become lawful permanent residence. after five years, they can become citizens. before they become a citizen, they can be deported for ha

the power of the united states deters aggression. tonight, i again warn the north vietnamese that, if they continue to escalate the fighting when the united states is withdrawing its forces, i shall meet my responsibility as commander-in-chief of our armed forces to take the action i consider necessary to defend the security of our american men. the action that i have announced tonight puts the leaders of north vietnam on notice that we will be patient in working for peace. we will be conciliatory at the conference table, but we will not be humiliated. we will not be defeated. we will not allow american men by the thousands to be killed by an enemy from privileged sanctuaries. the time came long ago to end this war through peaceful negotiations. we stand ready for those negotiations. we made major efforts, many of which must remain secret. i say tonight all the offers and approaches made previously remain on the conference table whenever hanoi is ready to negotiate seriously. if the enemy response to our most conciliatory offers for

sergeant of affairs at the united states embassy in kabul two of the last united states officials to be removed from afghanistan. that's it. the kabul airport is now under no control at some point soon, they hope, they say, it will be under control of the taliban and some degree of professionals. there's been discussed the possibility that turkey might get involved that qatar might get involved in flight operations there. let's take a live look now at the state department where we're told blinken will speak next we're expecting to hear from him how our commitment to afghanistan does not end of course, there are many thousands of afghans who had been promised safe passage out of afghanistan once the taliban took over. many thousands of them were not able to get out. it's the latest reporting of nbc news that there are about 250 americans inside afghanistan who had expressed an, who had wanted to get out of afghanistan but had not yet been able to there's any number of hundreds of americans who for reasons of their own, didn't want to leave yet or hadn't made a decision to leave yet be

now united states is a central issue. i mean, they don't have any football. they are from a very, very, very still and want to go out of a gun is nowhere in a shuttle. so the only way they can be in need is a seas because they have a few years navy, which can go anywhere in the world. and we have common interest with them in order to protect the feelings of communication from chinese encroachments indian the notion best of asheville for bringing the united states in the maritime domain to be able to go to china's ambitions, but on land. no, we are not interested in steaming off with the united states or anybody else. now, let me ask you about the humanitarian aspect, all such relationship because when he found his south face to face with an avalanche of corbet, 19 china seemed to be far more forthcoming in offering its help and bring assistance to get down the united states. i know that washington has tried to change the order and resigned itself as more empathic. but i wonder if this initial unbounded meant of india by the united states was disheartening and

states depress wages of dropouts from the united states and if they do, is it up to 7% or a little lower? is it last for a year or two or any longer? >> is not really that important if you look at the big picture of how they impact our institution that could impact everyone's positivity. the other things are popular debate on the news is not that controversial among economists. not all support free immigration, free trade and labor. the reasons are not about jobs or wages or high school dropouts for the most part it. >> when you're speaking of the news when you see what's going on with the u.s./mexico border people coming in, being sent out, the wall being built, what is your reaction? >> my reaction is we would not have as much of his and illegal immigration problem if we created easier past two legality, legal immigration that is for the vast majority the world it's impossible to immigrate legally to the united states and they say immigrate legally like my ancestors said they have a point i would like them to migrate legally to print you cannot migrate legally without a massive weight

but immediately the information got to the united states. they blame the nypd the new york police force for doing this. and mi five felt that. when the trial came out there should have been two key witnesses. one was this guy i mentioned who had become an fbi informant gave them a lot of information. the other key witness was meant to be jesse jordan, jesse jordan have been trading secrets for the british and she was in prison the americans thought maybe she could be released giving testimony at the trial in new york. the mi five is not keen on this. he said the district attorney from and gave his daughter a holiday in paris. he traveled to scotland to contribute jesse jordan think he could take back the statement. but the scottish legal authorities proved to be very difficult. is it typical scottish manner he had to pay all the expenses and they said no no. they were not able to utilize that evidence at all. so the cooperation from mi five was real but it was contained as it were he was limited. on the main trial it came into the heavy duri

the united states and other allies have planes in the region. many have been able to fly in and take out people from the airport. that is a very dire and difficult situation. some good news the allies are ready to receive. afghans are ready to send down planes and help evacuate. the big challenge is to get people on those planes. the limiting factor is not the lack of planes. the limiting factor is the ability to get people into the airport, processed and on the planes. that was thoroughly discussed in the meeting today raised by meeting allies. they need to work harder on how we can get more people who are now outside the airport into the airport, that process, and then on to the planes. we have more planes than we have people or passengers, because the process of getting people into and afghans into the airport process is the big challenge. i think that is one of the reasons this meeting was important. >> you had a follow-up question. >> for women activists, is there any guarantee they will be safe? >> nato allies are doing whatever they can t

you're safely walking around the streets of the united states. yeah, well i mean, what you say about what west point and teaching it there, i think is important. i mean, i say in the prologue of this book, i was on paper highly regard officer, right? fairly high regarded i had good scores, i've done one of the west point out a good combat record. so i was a prime candidate to go back and teach, which is pretty selective thing. but what they can't measure is that i just come out of tours. i no longer believed that i spent all my time in those wars and after ending grad school studying the back story to this. and at the point when i got to west point to teach, i felt it would be literally obscene, grotesque not to tell the truth, not to bash america, i tell a lot of great stories about a lot of great americans write about the spirit and the potential of this country, however, if i'm not telling the gods on is true wards and all to the people who are signed up at 18 years old to fight and die for said country, which is all based on back story and le

united states is willing to resettle up to 200,000 afghan refugees, can the united states commit to that? >> we can commit to doing as much as we can for as many people as we can. i don't want to put a number on it. we are going to keep running 1000 miles per hour for as long as we can. >> i wanted to -- [indiscernible] i appreciate that joe biden spoke with justin yesterday and how you feel about the taliban and getting people out. british lawmakers were unhappy with his time line to begin with. now they're very unhappy with the chaotic exit. they've been criticizing the policy failure that is not only an embarrassment for the united states but an embarrassment and weakens the west as well as the u.s. how do you respond to that broader point? there's a bigger patriot here. >> i'm not going to respond to criticism directed at a foreign counterpart. the britts have been one of our closest allies. >> the britts are making that criticism of you. >> i thought you were criticism that the prime minster was saying. in they are saying that the united states policy is a failure which is emba

i especially want to recognize and thank the men and women of the united states border patrol, who were doing absolutely heroic work in the service of our nation, and to uphold our laws. under the leadership of president biden we are doing everything we can to provide them with the resources they need to do the work in the way they feel most proud. i want to introduce to you raul ortiz, with more than 29 years of service in the united states border patrol, chief ortiz will become the chief of the border patrol effective saturday. i also want to introduce the department of homeland security chief medical officer. i want to communicate very clearly that the situation at the border is one of the toughest challenges we face. it is complicated, changing, and involves vulnerable people at a time of a global pandemic. i want to provide information to you, the facts, the challenge we face, and why, and our plan to meet the challenge. that is what we do, we confront challenges and meet them. i also want to take a few minutes to debunk false information that has been spread . before i provide the

i mean, when we tried to do is, is build a miniature united states army of miniature united states, security services, trained equip, like u. s. military. and they can't function why? because you can't take it american style, military templates and impose on corruption. and that's what we have. we have generals who inflate their rank still money to treat their soldiers poorly. there's no motivation at the end of the day of the soldier is not willing to die for a cause. then the army that she's part of isn't going to fight, and that's where we see the united states without a touch. we've had military leaders who have deceived themselves and deceive their civilian leadership and saying that they have a solution. and yet every year, every 2 years, we rotate these military leaders out defeated. we rotate a new series of military leaders. we say the same thing. tie with us become obvious, we were going to, when we weren't going to prevail and it's time to leave and it's going to be ugly. going to be very ugly. your way to get out of my stock and let me go to and you and couple, i mean we all we,

states wanted sitting bull back in the united states on a reservation. eventually sitting bull and strike the kettle returned to the united states. sitting bull was killed by lakota tribal police. when he was killed, strike the kettle was with him, and sitting bull was surrounded by his friends trying to protect him, and strike the kettle was wounded in the incident. he went on to paint this muslin which is very unique. for one thing, it is unique, because of its size. it is 22 feet long, but the other thing is that it does not represent one single event which is usually what these paintings do. and the museum brought out a life-sized photograph of the muslin to pine ridge reservation to work with elders to try to understand what is going on in the painting. and what they say they think is going on is that a series of preparations leading up to a ceremony or event is probably taking place, and they point out that on the muslin are pairs of pipes and the pipe bowls and the stems are close together signifying that a ceremony is about to take place. they po

war was absolutely devastating to the united states. more americans died in the american civil war than any other war before or since because both sides were americans. the war is settled 1865. the north and the union. the north wins, the union survives, and now work must begin in earnest. the country is joined together north and south. it must be joined together east and west. on the east coast, it's not difficult to find workers because there are thousands of people of ireland escaping their own oppression and discrimination there. on the west coast, they weren't sure who to use. they couldn't find enough workers. they had open calls to workers, but approximately 500 showed up. they knew they needed a minimum of 5,000. some suggested the chinese, but this was the problem, the people who suggested the chinese were hooted down because the average length of a railroad rail is 10 to 12 feet, and the average weight is 500 pounds. it was believed the chinese were too physically small to do this kind of labor. here we have one of the people

the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy are the heart of which the universal natural vices all directly permitted to u.s. foreign policy. in henry kissinger has argued americans listen the principals are universally true implies that governments based on the principles are less than legitimate and they are as it word on permanent probation. their founding documents the declaration of independence, does not mince words. it says that governments derive in the just hours in the just powers from the consent of the government. therefore many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger has also said that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policy as an optional activity and on the other hand, the breath of the american principles should be universal and believe that justice would be served if all nations into our nation. in this sometimes begets another belief. that the u.s. foreign policy should have a purpose of spreading our universal truths. winston churchill knew bet

so the united states ever really cared about women. they could spend a $7200000000.00 to do or take care of the homeless people in the united states. give them a 1000 that they won't do it. so yes, joe biden, nancy pelosi jobs humor. mitch mcconnell, all the leaders on both parties, they know that they're, that one out of 5 children lives in poverty in the united states, along with their mothers, and they don't care. that's why joe biden, he brags that this new bill is going to cut child poverty and half, which is not because he won't give us a $15.00 minimum wage of 50. you won't give people a living wage in the united states. he refuses to. he ran on it, it's super popular. the american people want a living wage, a $50.00 minimum wage, and he refuses to do it because joe biden is bought and paid for by wall street. and so no, he doesn't care about women. he doesn't care about children, he's the biggest war monger. it is the biggest war criminal to. so you remember when the united states, when donald trump was threatening to pull the

and the entire political opposition to this unit party role that now is underway in the united states. and basically in attempting to demonize and to criminalize all opposition to the democratic party in effect, and paying no attention at all to real terroristic threat that exists. both probably within the united states now, especially with an open order in the south and throughout the world. and in particular now afghanistan, where outside and isis are certainly setting up shop and will be undertaking plans for the future. so, you know, big tax has been completely obsessive about about the u. s. and in terms of the little opposition to the democratic party, and they have been completely negligent otherwise. so is this, do you think this comes back to the issue of big tech because we've seen, we've seen, for example, censorship of some people on twitter or facebook and but then the course you see so called terrorists who are not facing any censorship at all. yeah, yeah, well i mean, as the taliban still has twitter accounts, for example, and of course we saw this with with isis k havi

states. >> host: several highly publicized school mass shootings in the united states. what would you suggest to prevent those? >> this is something that has concerned me for 420 years and a major focus of my research. the research center that i'm president of reported a while ago that with all the school shootings, every type of school shooting all the way up to mask public shootings from 2000 through 2003 teen and what we found was that in the states, in the schools that allow teachers and staff to be able to go and carry guns there hasn't been one attack at any level in which anybody has been wounded or killed in any of those schools. the attacks for which they occur keep on occurring in places which teachers and staff aren't allowed to carry. you may have one police officer guarding the school but it's an almost impossible job. if you have one person he is the only that's known to have a gun and he is in uniform who do you think they go after first because they know if they can take out that one officer they are going to have free reign to go after the people. the a

the government of the united states and the people of the united states stand firmly with the government of the republic of china and the people of the republic of china against communist aggression in asia and other parts of the world. as a result of this conference, i am sure that there will be no doubt in the minds of people around the world that our two countries and our two peoples stand together against the common danger which threatens free people around the world, the danger of communist imperial colonialism. >> riding back to the airport, the vice president and his party were hailed by thousands of chinese, young and old, who lined the streets of taipei.

n a or the united states. so when we intervene, we intervene using a american centered template that is designed to placate domestic political factions. here in the united states, not to solve problems overseas, we've seen this almost everywhere. united states intervenes afghanistan was doomed to fail from the start because we didn't respect your costume, tribal sensitivity as part wally and nothing. we didn't understand the area we came in. we impose our will and then we sought to build f ganesha in, in, in our model, especially their military. i mean, when we tried to do is, is build a miniature united states army of miniature united states, security services, trained equip, like u. s. military. and they can't function why? because you can't take it american style, military templates and impose it on corruption. and that's what we have. we have generals who inflate their rank still, money to treat their soldiers or lee. there is no motivation at the end of the day of the soldiers, not willing to die for a ca

of the united states. what nation would do this to itself? it is a very strange idea, right. it is a very strange idea to have woven into the fabric of the constitution a system that allows for the indefinite expansion of the nation through space and through the accretion of additional political units. that have the power over time to overwhelm the original, the thao overwhelm the original, the political units, the states that originally made up the country. >> i just have a question about the expansion part. what did, like, france or spain or great britain think of this map? because this is very clearly incorporates territories that they supposedly claim and had claim to in the northwest or in the southwest, down there. >> well, that is right. and it became -- the united states had to worry a lot about the hostility of foreign powers in the early decades of its existence. and even in the territories by that had been seeded by the treaty of paris in 1783, britain never gave up western posts in the great la

all of their motives to attack the united states were still on. and importantly it was not they were just angry about the policy they had a strategy. a strategy which provoked the united states into doing something >>. rules for radical and a symmetric action including terrorism for the action is in the reaction of the opposition. in this case okay does not try to get america to turn around and run away, they did not think that would work. they are trying to provoke a full-scale invasion of afghanistan two they could replicate the war help them fight against the soviets in the 1980s. to bog us down in them than lawton's words to lead us to bankruptcy to force the american empire out to the long laying on the hard way. magazine in 2010 when bin laden was still alive. he said when bush won the election of 2000, my father was so happy. this is the kind of president he needs one that will attack and break the country. he said in clinton's time sent cruise missiles after my father and got away. but he been in afghanistan for ten years you still do not

there are over 40,000 chinese restaurants in the united states. that's more than burger king mcdonald's and kentucky fried chicken combined. of the $120,000 people that showed up in 1849 and those who continue to show up the greater portion of them were men. they believe as high as 90 percent. it's actually very hard find a woman. in the territory than state of california, actually, i take that back. i retracted you could find a woman but it was quite expensive. now what was to happen was? this 90,000 to 120,000 men that show up. they're all young. the greater portion of them are under the age of 21 at this time who could make the trip only the young the strong those without attachment were the most likely to make the trip. and so you had literally thousands of young men wandering around trying to survive in a time not so terribly unlike ours when many people think that certain activities are gender specific. men didn't so men didn't cook men didn't garden the microcross, but they didn't garden for the table men didn't wash etc. so there was an op

when the united states entered the war, wilson was concerned with the food situation. and hoover seemed the best person to deal with the production, distribution, and conservation of food for the home front, which was needed in the neutral and allied nations as well as for the united states. wilson and hoover believed that the abundant production of food was a force multiplier, boosting the morale of soldiers at war that allowed the allies to wear down the central powers. hoover met wilson in may 1917, and explained to the president how he wants this operation to go. he said he wanted to be the sole person in charge. he didn't want to work with a committee where there was bickering and arguing and nothing got done. wilson agreed and suggested they name hoover the food czar, but he insisted on the title, food administrator, which was less likely to annoy those folks whose toes he was already stepping on. for three months, congress debated the lever act, which would put hoover in charge of the domestic food supply. hoover testified before congress many times, explaining

the united states at this point were 30 states of which 15 were slave born and 15 were free. he brought california in as a free state. an interesting problem arose which was the united states was in two sections. shortly after the gold rush about 10 years later, silver was discovered in nevada. there was a silver rush. the wealth of the nation tipped to the far west. you take a look at this map. this is roughly from 1860. the white portion on your right hand side are the states up to that point. there is a yellow area which is the territories. then suddenly there was california on the pacific recommend. this was to have a profound effect on what was to happen later in the 20th century. how do you get from one side of this great couldn't tent to the other? there were serious fears russia might come down and take over california. whoever came down got control of that gold and possibly the silver coming out of nevada. in short, if you left new york and traveled over land to sacramento, california, the trip would normally take you 166 days, if you made it. how could this be short

the united states came in and got rid of them. and by the way, this idea that the taliban, these bad guy that the united states doesn't want to work with, we work with the taliban. we invented the taliban. i videotape my cho, appeal regret and admitting we invented the taliban. and so that, that's where we are, we weren't, we invent a problem, the country, they just like ran ran. they had a democratically elected government in 1953, the cia in the united states over through that government, they installed this job. and now we have the ayatollah and that, that, that the, of the awkward, the red. so all these problems are created by the united states. and there appear realism and don't think it stopping, you know, been unfair to, am i 6 british intelligence also involved in, in all of that. but you do favor intervention by the usa shock, horror. i heard you on your show, the other day you're saying you want a us intervention, a military intervention, tell me about which country you want the u. s. intervening. and i think it's about,

we know now numbers from united states, we pay 40 states at no stage united just putting money into one you can do the shop to finally use the same guy. he managed to estimate the i don't know how he'd be in your back job job, but i always follow dish. do you know? is this 1st starns or under a few match your ash and you know, like in germany there was the most faithful belief, almost ready to be, but look, break my own 3 way offline. i received the united states. glad. i fear most, most the size of their speech. if you got the break down, you'll be your last you do not will be even you don't get any dionte though you just say, you know, be my normal life in fear. crazy uncertainty. the toughest thing for a person cited to take need or shear. also a body where not if we need no, i'm sorry to say be it will open some of my more crappy. we need now. feel yes. yes. you need those who but also is you said you well, i don't know what i find show by how although i agree we rely on science stuff. i do remember the clear image. do you remember how we need to begin february? my mother was just w

those who may have come home to the united states. we want to get a strong number of exactly how many people are there. how many american citizens in where they are. just yesterday, among the many americans we evacuated, there were 169 americans who got over the wall and into the airport using military assets. we're also facilitating flights for our allies in our partners. we are working close operationa coordination with nato on this evacuation. for example, we provided overwatch with the rent wrench convoy bringing hundreds of people from the french embassy to the airport. these operations are going to continue over the coming days before we complete our drawdown. we are going to do everything, everything that we can to provide safe evacuation for our afghan allies, partners, and afghans who might be targeted because of their association with united states. let me be clear. any american who wants to come home, we will get you home make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. it involves risks to armed forces, it is being c

who would feed in the united states to turn the corner. they are deeply disappointed and for many women, especially those who gained over the last 2 decades. this is dark, yet another difficult to be. i'd say from us perspective, it is one of the lowest points, the u. s. foreign policy, national security in recent memory. i believe since $911.00, the slip collapse of the have gone republic. the fact that the military didn't put a book fight in the, in the military and the key arctic evacuation the trenching scenes from the ford, the savage attack, by the stomach speed. i think it is inescapable that all of this is tremendously in humiliating. and finally, for the thought of on it is a moment of trying to retreat. but the question is, if they're going to repeat the mistakes of the boss, it appears that they've been slightly helpful to the u. s. military or the last few days. but there are a lot of questions about how to conduct themselves in the future. sandy are listening to the pentagon briefing earlier. there was an on previous to that l

states including 9/11 he had no role which is attacking the united states and use focused on egypt and bin laden could care less about that somebody has done a survey of bin laden statements in the top statement is anger at the united states and the saudi's and i think egypt is like number 29 down the list were 32 and that was throughout the pure occupation, he spent six months in prison that was right in the middle of the planning attacks on the embassy in africa and when he comes back he's not a big thinker and bin laden for his role of this sonic son because he's objection but he did not play an important part in al-qaeda before 9/11 and after 9/11 using deputy and leader but he managed a pentagon in the less counterterrorism official because you mentioned he would be much more serious contender of egyptians officials forces officer and he's been with al-qaeda since the beginning, even let's say psychologically there's an organization al-qaeda to a local jihad group in afghanistan and pakistan and has yemen and affiliates in africa and east asia and sometimes you may recall al-qaeda

it also gives the united states. so is there another dimension in nuclear weapons about america's place in the world where we may have other things going shoddy, but, you know, nukes make sure that we were always there and that we always matter. jacob, well, i think it's more a quest for predominance. the idea is that the more you have them, we're going insurance policy, you have to less other countries will be inclined to, to mess with you. but the truth is it, it is, as you point out at bottom, a colossal waste of money. we should be investing in the united states infrastructure. we should not be squandering these kinds of songs on nuclear weapons that contribute absolutely nothing. you could just as easily dig a hole in the desert, nevada and dumped billions of dollars into it. we're not actually beyond 1700. i mean, i maybe i don't know what buying more nuclear weapons is going to contribute. at this point. we have, we have other huge problems which by the way, impact our power in the rest of the world. and what

states comes to compare and contrast the united states ambassador who reportedly scuttled as soon as he could. and that's a deep moment of shane. so the state department, i should say, in united states that she represented against a british ambassador who was still the last year around as long as the signing visa form actually is a britain has conducted itself partly due to this splendid emissary. we have a couple with great on about how about the russian? i'm boston who's fell free of the st. cabal. yes. and i would say, i know why the early, it's very early days. but the taliban appear to be behaving with great restraint. there's been no bloodshed in the bowl, but the report says, well, it looks there's been a big disjunction, actually between a press reporting of this and all about con, age is kinda bad. and what we've actually seen, which has been much more restrained so far, including towards women, it's very early days, may may be getting false report. now, i the russian ambassador this day, i would point why we would leave the maintenance because the band is, is not taking not

he was secretary of war, he served the united states congress also served united states senate. he was a host during the james buchanan administration in washington. when the southwest formed their own government they invited jefferson davis to become his first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we are standing in the cell or jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. 1965 jefferson davis received word from general robert e lee the commander they will hold the federal army back from attacking the city of virginia. with that news, jefferson davis directed his cabinet, and sent his family on the road for protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow. he would finally catch up with his family right above the florida state line. it was here where the federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved back appear to fort monroe and incarcerated in this very cell. some people ask why, the main reason

people who helped the united states for 20 years? >> let's hope. let's hope there is not an end date on august 31st if they are not all out. that's still an open question but i hear you that sounds like their goal at the moment. general, about going forward, moving forward in afghanistan. there seems to be a conventional wisdom without the u.s. presence that afghanistan will once again become a terrorist safe haven. is that a forgone conclusion and why is it in the taliban's interest? >> i really appreciate that question. all right? because this is something i've been thinking about a lot. yes, the terror issue is there and historic. that's why we landed there in 2002. the mission expanded but there for that reason, as well. this is a regional issue. while we have issues, the russians do not like sunni jihad terror that risks their interest in central asia, china that borders 50 miles along the car door. we have issues with them but they have also a major issue in their mind with jihad and iran out there which is playing a bit of a d

with the united states. one is a political strategic agreement with united states and you know, this is the security agreement with the united states. of course the admins will be looking to even thing because it has gone through several words for the past 40 years and the in the quiet and need like indication democracy technology help. and some of the things that requires because it has gone through a number of 7 awards, and unfortunately it's coming again, but we need to prioritize the per, yerkes ok both for the i've been government all over the national community also for the united states. now the per year is fighting terrorism, no, going to bring stability to the athens to make sure that the outcomes live insecurity. and to make sure that there's no threat from a kind of needed to the region nor to the nor tough can. and also not to be the international community in, in enlarge, and that is the area that entire world is felt. now, it's not only the united states and the government because the united st
