i don't mean america above all. i actually mean america warts and all, really that the united states has pennsylvania set of distinctive attributes and capacities that allow it to serve both its own national interests and also to serve the global common interest and in that way to be different and distinct from many of the great powers in history and other potential great powers who may appear on the scene in the years ahead. and the reason i think actually grappling with the idea of exceptionalism -- and i would accept from those who read the piece and critiqued an argument says let's retire the term and use a different word. but if we are talking about the same thing, the set of attributes and capacities and have a common conversation about it we can debate the actual use of the phrase -- that the grappling with this concept is important for two reasons. the first reason is because the main threats to america's way of life and really to the way of life of societies across the world share a common denominator. whic

central america. the effect of security and it will be. and central america is much closer to the united states than many of the trouble spots the concerns we knew. in the country. in the system because for one hundred years two hundred year those who lived through dollars. for every dollar we invest is so good for the tremendous source oh then go for the. for forty years the united states received first choice on the ninety percent of nicaraguan exports in return the us government supported the dictatorship of the some most of dynasty the family used land confiscation and political repression to rule over the nicaraguan people . in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the samosa those were driven out after a long war waged by the popular sandinista party led by daniel ortega. one nine hundred eighty two in an attempt to thwart president reagan's plans to overthrow the nicaraguan government. congress passed the boland amendment which prohibited u.s. military aid to the contras nineteen eighty-four d

daniel: by 1942, america is a war and america's change significantly. our military doubles in size,. we still go to war with a segregated army, but african launch a double v campaign, arguing for victory against fascism abroad and against racism at home. one of the points we wanted to make to visitors is its in 1942 that americans learned about what nazis called the final solution. we are showing how that information makes it from the u.s. government to the u.s. public between august and november of 1942. this man is the world jewish congress representative in switzerland. he learns through a german industrialist that the nazis have a plan to murder all of the jews in europe. he sends this information, he wants to get it to rabbi stephen wise in the united states and the head of the world jewish congress. he's trying to get the information through the state department. the content of this letter is harrowing. he says, in hitler's headquarters, a plan is being considered to wipe out in one blow 300 million to 400 million jews this autumn. what the state

so america's environmentalists, america is the villain. china is not. ever. so the obsession over plastic straws as you can see a microcosm of how our rulers view the world at large. for them, problems are always solved by making life a little worse for ordinary people while ignoring the actual problems that in many cases they caused. regular people have worse straws now. business owners are paying more to buy those straws, the left doesn't care. the supposed purpose of this campaign was to prevent garbage from ruining america's parks, rivers and wildlife that's a goal all of us share or should share. and, yet, this won't do it. in fact, even if they scold regular americans environmentalists in this country seem to care less and less about actual environmental degradation littering. >> the national park service recently removed trash cans from parks all over the country the purpose was to beauty phi natural areas. the result was more litter. in san francisco's iconic delores park, massive amounts, mountains of litter have piled up but city officials almost ne

as ronald reagan advised us, america's too great for small dreams. when we work together, we succeed together as one nation. we are now entering a period of divided government, but that is no excuse for gridlock or inaction. we are at our best when we focus not on retribution but on building a more perfect union. but while we seek cooperation, there is one core principle upon which we will not compromise, republicans will always choose personal freedom over government control. now this very floor has hosted some of the toughest debates in our nation's history, but it is also the most noble achievements. this house has triumphed in times of crisis. it still stands not on sand but on the solid rock of constitutional preliminary. today this is in pursuit of a perfect union. the country knows nancy pelosi with an experienced leader with three decades of service and fighter for her causes and true trailblazer. even when we disagree with one another completely, it is important to remember that we are bounded together in a common cause, our love for america

it's almost never america's work alone. the u.s. knows that we can't and shouldn't fight every fight or sustain every economy. no nation wants to be dependent on another. our aim, our aim is to partner with our friends and vigorously oppose our enemies because a strong, secure, and economically vibrant middle east is in our national interest, and it's in yours as well. let me be clear. america will not retreat until the terror fight is over. we will labor tirelessly to defeat isis, al qaeda and other jihadists that threaten our security and yours. president trump has made the decision to bring our troops home from syria. we always do. and now is the time. but this isn't a change of mission. we remain committed to the complete dismantling of the isis threat and the ongoing threat of -- fight against radical islamism in all its forms. but as president trump has said, we're looking to our partners to do more and in this effort we will do so going forward, together. for our part, air strikes in the region will continue as targets arise.

it is what america wants. while washington drowns young people in debt, we're making community college free. in l.a., we saw an increase of 56% in the first year of our public school graduates going to community college when we lifted tuition as a barrier. while our president thinks this is the only nation that withdraws from the paris climate accord, with mayors, climate mayors, so many of you, if you haven't signed up, sign up, 406 cities and 48 states and counting representing 80 million americans said if he's out, we're, in because we're here to solve problems and save our future. my time's up. but let me close in two minutes and i want to speak about infrastructure. because yesterday that was going to be about what my speech was about and honored to chair our infrastructure task force and came from meetings on the hill and going back up and meeting with the speaker shortly here after, as well. and together, we started an initiative. a due tank, called accelerated for america, focused on helping with econo

one of america's pron. he was it doesn't have enough destruction in the 197 sovereign that's a problem that is dealt with in the 1980s, but when you become incumbent power with very, very powerful sort of past dependence industries, you sometimes get destruction not working in the way you expect it to. the japanese could produce cars until suddenly they destroyed the american car industry. >> you know, the one thing that is fascinating to look at is how complex some of the analysis is to figure out -- which is really the purpose of or book -- what made the american economy move but there's a countervailing force here which is antithetical to it and william jennings bryan, as you -- i was about to say everybody knows him but william jennings bryan was a 36-year-old former -- 36-year-old nebraskan who in the 1896 convention made devastating remarks to offer about the gold standard and basically essentially why america was being defeat on the cost of gold. but the real issue here is wasn't the issue of gold. i

you know he's not making america first with his policies he's making america last that's. that's the path he's on when it comes to trade when it comes to. human rights when it comes to bringing the country together on issues of. you know racism he's just dividing the country he's the key trying to isolate the country he's talked about withdrawing the us from nato. he just pulled us out of syria without two minutes of thought about you know what what the consequences of that it is for the kurds so i just see somebody who either doesn't know what he's doing or is intentionally trying to damage the country why would he want to do that intentionally damage his country and its economy i have no idea why he would want to damage our country but i see him doing it and so either either he's mentally ill and doing it because of that or he's got some other motive but i don't know what it is some of this is the most common answer i get from american experts about trump i have no idea why he's doing what he's doing. all different experts who all different failed say this right about an

households in america are right now served by fiber-optic connections. we have no information about price except anecdotally. seems pretty clear americans are paying many multiples of what people in northern european or asian countries pay for connections that are not as good. peter: so how does it work? you spend quite a bit of time in your book talking about the process of fiber optics, but can you dumb it down in a sentence or two about how this works? susan: it is almost miraculous how it works, but basically the purest, clearest glass you can imagine is synthetically manufactured. that very. glass -- pure glass allows a signal to run through it without disruption for kilometers. with that length of communication being carried by fiber and the amount of different wavelengths of data that can be carried through fiber, it is unmatched by any other medium we have in the world, including wireless communications because transmission coming over the air can be interfered with by rain or human body or a tree or billing. it is subject to being messed with on

america is a force for good in the middle east. we need to acknowledge that truth, because if we don't, we make bad choices, now and in the future. and our choices, the choices we make today have consequences for nations, and for millions and millions of people, for our safety, for our economic prosperity, for our personal freedoms, and those of our children. and there's no more appropriate place than where i'm standing today to have this discussion at the american university here in beautiful cairo. as frank said, this year marks 100 years since the founding ofy this institution, and the auc is more than just a university. it is an important symbol of america's friendship with egypt and what binds our people together. together, we've created a modern place of learning in the midsthe of an ancient civilization with its own rich history of artists, poets, and intellectuals.ua egypt has always been a land of striving. and yet at times, your aspirations and those of your brethren in the middle east have seemed impossible to achieve. t

how could we get america to feel this safe? >> that's your problem. >> that's my problem.

what would best comes place be today's america and triumph america well that's a question i can answer i can tell you what richard feels about all these things but what frank bascombe who cares because my best i'm just a made up creature you know he would think whatever i made him think and i might make him think something like what i think which is that trump is a disaster and not even funny and threat to the world but if i were going to write about what frank thought about him. i would probably write a more nuanced view of president trump just to make it interesting you know i mean i have a kind of a working theory about not only my own life but yours and frank bascombe strew which is to which is what i call oppositional thinking so i would try to if i were writing about frank and trump i would try to find something provocative for him to say. richard ford has never made any secret of his dislike for the current us president but he says the reasons that his country and perhaps the entire world is so divided go far beyond donald trump. was there too many people. a lot of those people

intervention throughout latin america and the world. there are over one million american military personnel stationed in one hundred seventy five countries the us government has increased its military budget by nearly ninety percent since two thousand and one that budget now stands at seven hundred billion dollars per year. add in health costs plus interest for more than one point five million veterans and the us is paying one trillion dollars per year for war and preparation. our government spends ten times more for citizens on average for military costs than most other industrialized nation. this increased military spending has not made the u.s. more secure home or abroad. you know let's face it the weapons corporations in america always love the enemy and they always log new instability because they're able to sell more weapons that way the pentagon says our role in america under corporate globalization will be security export which means endless war to benefit the corporations so we can extract oil. minerals from africa or whatever

and at this critical moment america your long time friend was absent too much while. because our leaders gravely misread our history and your historical moment these fundamental misunderstandings set forth in this city in two thousand and nine adversely affected the lives of hundreds of millions of people in egypt and all across the region remember it was here here in this city that another american stood before you he told you the radical islamist terrorism does not stem from an ideology he told you that in the end he told you that nine eleven led my country to abandon its ideals particularly in the middle east he told you that the united states and the muslim world need to quote a new beginning and of quote the results of these misjudgments have been dire in falsely seeing ourselves as a force for what ails the middle east we were timid and asserting ourselves when the times and our partners demanded it we grossly underestimated the tenacity investors this of radicalism islamism a dabashi strain of the faith that seeks to up and every other form of worship or govern

america was a place where dreams could become real. the thing is that right now, the relay is not working. today, we are falling backwards instead of moving forward, and the opportunities that made america the america that we love, those opportunities are reaching fewer and fewer people. today, we are at risk of dropping the baton. and that's why we are all here this morning, because we are going to make sure that the promise of america is available to everyone in this 21st century. [applause and cheers] you see, i learned from my mother so many years ago in this community, that when we want change, we do not wait. we work for it. when my grandmother got here almost 100 years ago, i am sure that she never could have imagined that just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be serving as a member of the united states congress and the other would be standing with you here today to say these words -- i am a candidate for president of the united states of america.
