sullivan. sec. sullivan: the united states is committed to supporting and afghan led process that develops a government that is suitable for the afghan people and acceptable to them. we are not going to dictate the terms of either a peace settlement between the afghan government and the taliban, for example. we have certain irreducible benchmarks for a basic stability in the country so that, for example, you mentioned taliban controlled areas. when the taliban controls and area, there is massively increased drug cultivating and production, decrease in security, it has a dramatic effect on the afghan economy. so we want to have a stable afghanistan that is not a base for terrorism, as secretary schriver said, and respects the afghan constitution, which includes protections for women. those are our ace it, irreducible, basic thresholds for a resolution of engagement in afghanistan. sen. shaheen: and we are continuing to support the afghan efforts both with personnel and with resources? sec. sullivan:

sullivan, the inevitable question. what are those people, the victims and the families going through in florida today? what are they thinking after all these years of all this violence? >>well, i can tell you from personal experience that initially there's shock and this is a really important time. i always said the decisions and the things we did in the first, you know, 24 to 48 hours, you know, helped us on our recovery, you know, five years later. you are helping family members and you might have to go over to the coroner's office and identify your child. you need to begin contacting the funeral home and start to get that and in our case, i didn't have to call anybody to let them know that alex had been murdered because it was on tv. we were one of the first fatalities that was identified afterward. it might be a little different for them, but people are going to start coming and you need to embrace your friends and family that come towards you. >> tom, how have you coped all these years later and i indicated that y

destroyer the sullivan. there's an destroyer today called the sullivans so they have been memorialized throughout our country'sut histy history. lawmakers after the war said we can't let this happen again so they passed a law that became known as the sullivan rule and this law said that two close family members cannot serve together in a combat zone involuntarily. that last part is the key part. both hagel brothers have asked to serve with each other guess what the sergeants and officers said when ii got there? does the sullivan rule apply? no. set that aside. >> i didn't>> know that. >> because you volunteer to do it and i might add ladies and gentlemen what was really unusual about chuck and tom they didn't just serve together in a 20 thousand person out there, they were in the same rifle unit with 30 or 40 soldiers altogether at the same time so they really serve closely together. when your brother showed up what did you think? >> i was concerned on the search and destroy mission for four days and they pu

you may have seen the movie the fighting sullivans or the five sullivan brothers from his. in world tar they unlested in the navy and second together on a light cruiser and the uss juneau wasser to pea bode i by the japanese during a night action, and many of the crew were lost, including all five of the sullivan brothers. and it was so devastating for the family -- by the way in the navy in world war to named that destroyer "the sullivan." so they've been memorialized throughout the country history am movie was made called "the fighting sullivan." lahmmakers everybody the war said we can't let this happen again. so they passed a law that became known as the sullivans rule, and this law said that two close family members cannot serving to in a combat zone while in -- involuntarily. this last part is the key part. because both hagel brothers had asked to serve with each other, guess what the sergeants and officers said when they got them? does the sullivan rule alive? nope. set that aside. and the in -- >> i didn't know that. >> and because you volunteered to do it. i might

of the person but we were talking a little bit about sullivan's background i think that's what's really interesting when you say you know this this seems like a straight shooter it's really like this is a true believer in justice of the law and the role of the law and in this situation yeah it seems odd that it would be the idea of i was lying about lying about lying . what is it about this judge that that we can learn by his actions in this case having you mentioned. worked for reagan was appointed by reagan could tell us a little more about sullivan well what is interesting is that here is his involvement with the stevens case apparently really affected him you know brady brady material is understood prosecutors i was one we knew this before a judge to say oh and by the way. press the cuter wallace i want to remind you of your duty yet judge i know this no no no i want to remind you we have a standing order think well no kidding he apparently is very allergic to judicial and your article should manage it and it makes my heart sing because remember you know the power of being a federal

general sullivan came in a long river road. within minutes of each other, they encountered the hessian guard posts on the edge of town and forced them into town. this is a pivotal moment of the revolution. the crossing of the delaware christmas night, followed by the victory at trenton is the game saver, in my view. to many, including washington, certainly to the british, they felt the war was about over. they were ready to wrap this up. we needed a victory. trenton is a small battle. 900 hessians are captured, a little over 900, but the morale effect is huge. it is almost viewed by the population at the time as a miracle event. >> you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org cities tour. this is american history tv, only on c-span3. c-span's history series landmark cases returns this month, with a look at 12 new supreme court cases. each week, historians and experts discuss the constitutional issues and personal stories behind the significance of praying decision -- supre

host: jake sullivan joins us now. he previously served in the obama administration and he recently released "the world after trump." first, explain what we mean when we are talking about the international order. what does that include? guest: it is not world government, a group of people calling the shots for the united states or anyone else. it is a group of sovereign states, the world and fall, led by the united states, who built the world after the end of the aroundworld war alliances, the united nations system, a system to deal with international and comics and finance, and the basic purpose of this set of institutions and partnerships is to manage disputes so we do not get into wars, to mobilize cooperation to do with challenges like climate change and nuclear floor affiliation, and set standards around aviation or maritime security so that we are all working off of the same page in a world where there is so much interconnection in the country. it is changing. in the years after the second world war, the locusts

miller, michael schmidt, and margaret sullivan, thank you. as dr. cline noted, we decided to hold our announcement of the awards in a public forum this year because we want to underline, emphasize quality journalism and how important it really is in this tense time. and i think we can all agree that 2017 was an extraordinary year for news both at home and abroad, and we can also agree that news outfits are having a tough time of it. the financial pressures are unrelenting, and partisan attacks coming from all sides. so it is good to just take a moment now and back and celebrate outstanding work that is being done. it's a reminder that an independent and feisty press is a bulwark to our democracy. so we have 12 polk judges. as dr. cline mentioned we went over 485 submissions. we whittled them down to first 90, then finally a winning 17. in three categories we decided to have shared awards. that's because, frankly, it became just impossible to select one over the other. we thought it was not just futile but in a way almost unfair. so here goes. now if

shannon sullivan:"i can't believe this is my son that is, one, going to the olympics and breaking the color barrier. i mean, he's making history and i'm so proud of him."jordan greenway: "i'm the first african-american to play hockey for the united states at the olympics but hopefully, i'm the first of many. hopefully these kids go out, try something different." victor blackwell:"that's a responsibility. will he live up to it?"david quinn:"i think jordan's personality, likeability and his smile and he's six-foot-five, he's got got hollywood good looks and he's a heck of a hockey player- you add all that up, i think someone of his stature, not only being a great hockey player but casual sports fan you're going to be interested to listen what he think the significance of impactful for the for a long time.""is there any pressure with being the first?"greenway:i think just going to the olympics, representing a you're whole united states. i know go over there and hard, put in all the effort that i this far and i all anyone can (justine) let's take a look at sports tonight.

god, it's great to be back at the ed sullivan theater! ( cheers and applause ) i'll tell you. >> stephen: and back in the united states. >> yes! i haven't been here since they fired letterman. it was sad. but i love what you've done with the place. it's like someone took the hayden planetarium and put it on top of a gay cruise ship. i feel right at home. >> stephen: thank you very much. ( cheers and applause ) yes. >> no -- >> stephen: you're-- you're-- your cabin boy will be right over. >> no, seriously, i am also a big fan and longtime fan of yours. so i am so happy to meet and you tell you that and finally thrilled to be on your show. it just took forever to pass the physical. ( laughter ) not to mention the swimsuit competition. but i'm rehearsing not far from here, so i decided to bypass your very generous limo, and i just got an uber driver. steve bannon says hi, by the way. ( cheers and comedy pause, drinking the water. ( laughter ). >> stephen: now-- >> sorry. >> stephen: it's all right. >> for you kids out there, that's the danny

we talked to the senior chairman of sullivan and cromwell. ed hammond joins us. great to have you with us. if this prospect is on a more basis, does that play into the decision-making process when you are looking into the mna space? rodge: those who think they have crystal balls usually wind up with shattered glass. this is a function of a lack of certainty. the more volatility be have, it have, itpen -- we would dampen m&a transactions. volatility would work, uncertainty won't. we are left ones with are the ones that should be done, rather than building on fanciful predictions and analysis. i call this bt are of the 52 week high -- the tyranny of the 52 week high. i am not sure a selloff would be all that helpful. it might shake out a little bit. i think overall it would not be a positive. this year is the strongest start to the year since 2000. what is the regulatory environment of the product? how can we execute some of these transactions? rodgin: particularly in the financial institution mna space, i will liken the analogy to baseball. how many strikes you ge

. >> reporter: utility power lines sparked the flames that burn two houses on sullivan road and caused structural damage to a building. >> we had lines connecting with one another because they work blowing in the wind. >> dozens of lawsuits have already been filed. negligence is the accusation. >> there were many witness reports talking about equipment problems. transformers were exploding. transformers were on fire. >> we jumped into the pool to survive. we watched everything burn around us. >> that was gregory wilson. he lost his voice during the fire by inhaling hot air. >> the report by the fire department does not cast blame on pge. >> it was not just a power line failing or transformer failing. we articulated that it was the wind that caused the ignition. >>> cal fire continues its investigation into the cause of the deadly fires in sonoma county. they have not said when they will have their final report. pge is reacting by releasing this statement. there has been no determination of the causes of the fire and we remain focused on doing everything we can to help sonoma county rec

. >> dana: andrew mccarthy wrote today that it appears sullivan's order supercedes the plea agreement and imposes on the special counsel to reveal any and all evidence that flynn is innocent to the charge which he admitted guilt. is he right on that? >> he's right, but incomplete. he's very knowledgeable, says good things about the criminal justice system. the reality is, judge sullivan, at least since the stevens case, where senator stevens indictment and conviction were overturned has had a standing discovery order that he imposes on the parties. our firm has a case with this where the prosecution is obliged to turn over information. that shouldn't be anything new to most prosecutors. if there's evidence of innocence, they have to turn it over. >> dana: we have other probes going on on the hill. investigations, oversight investigations. then you have the mueller probe. one of the things i'm wondering, as we saw yesterday. steve bannon was on capitol hill testifying, or sort of refusing to answer some of their questions. we also know he spent some time with bob mueller this week. we

. >> jake sullivan under president obama and chief foreign policy to the clinton campaign in 2016, jake, maybe i'll start with that. what do you make of the claim this president has been tougher on russia than president obama? >> that would be very difficult to do under any circumstances because as you laid out at the top of the program, this president has taken not a single decisive step to either impose real costs on russia for what they did in 2016 or to try to prevent it from happening again. despite the fact that his cia director, his director of national intelligence, both said there's a very strong likelihood that russia will try to interfere again in 2018. donald trump has done literally zero to mobilize the u.s. government to do something about that. when you compare that to what barack obama did in particular mobilizing broad based sectoral sanctions against the russians and getting the europeans on boorth for that which was know small feat, it's not in the same ballpark. it's not in the same sport. it's not the same activity of any kind. and i think when sarah huckabee sander
