it had only just become a united states state. and this guy, senator gruning, was a kind of hard-nosed realist. he was doing a cost/benefit analysis. his critique was, i don't get it. why does it make sense for the united states to spend blood and treasure going to vietnam? there was no big moral critique. there was no larger issue about the meaning of americanness. it didn't add up for him. but again, these are two senators. there's almost no visible critique as johnson launches what will quickly become an american war in vietnam. there were a few other voices, a few public voices that raised questions, mostly from that realist perspective. does this add up? hans morgan, a big guy, he raises those issues. walter litman, a famous columnist, had been making pronouncements about american policy for, by this time, some 50 years. he raised some questions. he also critiqued this as a really -- just not a reasonable solution to america's interests in asia. but otherwise there's a kind of consensus. it's an election year in 1964. johnson

the united states. is done with making the world look like the united states and it has to adjust to the outside world so you have to redress you have the flip flip the coin response your foreign foreign policy in a big weight and that's what's happening it's it's it's interesting times but as always living in interesting times maybe a little bit too much fun and i'm sure with a with me that bolton paints a picture of a very chaotic very impulsive administration trumping ministration in his in his book where everything is. decided in a haphazard south serving manner with very little deference to national interests and what i wanted to ask if that's just trump or do you think that's a fitting matter for for the political america as a whole because he mentioned that this crisis in the range in age with trunk chomp . to a large extent is a reaction to the forces that are fighting him well long before a dollar trump became a household name really now states and the world over. washington ceased to be a city

united states abandon the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global capitalists they have cut back links that leaves the vast middle class without jobs. future isn't disaster here covered over with endless theater but the reality is a disaster and mr trump were there you would see other people emerging trying to make a political career by there if i could tell you this i will tell you in the fall there is a struggle going on in the united states between a left wing response to the collapse of the middle class that's represented by a new wave of socialist by bernie sanders by alexandria ocasio cortez and all of that and there is no right we will turn it it really faces and you see that in trouble well i mean there is somebody in the middle i by the name joe biden but let's talk about him after a short break we'll be back in just a few moments. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that. the sudden false and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. ra

however, the united states does not think like sufficient. stability -- -- contrary to the claims of u.s. officials, it does not or former stops at all costs. aboutabout extreme steps modernization as it protects the foundation. of theobal concern treaty and on certain future of new staff, we deem it is important to reassure everyone that they do not intend to drift the end foundation or of humankind. the united states should adopt a declaration on the inadmissibility of nuclear war. it has yet to be received. i would like to conclude with the words of the russian president said on june 24 of the military parade and the 75th anniversary of the victory of the war. itunderstand how important is to strengthen friendship between nations and we are open among issues on the agenda. the creation of a viable thatity system, something will change with the modern world. fromll protect the world new and dangerous threats. --e is another born idea important idea. homeland, it does not apply to weaponry. what the world requires is not a a racee, it requir

mexico and the united states. we pledge the close and continued friendship between the united states and mexico and we accelerate our progress toward a greater tomorrow. that is what's happening, a for greater tomorrow. with a prospering region, flourishing hemisphere, and to nations thriving, growing, and excelling side-by-side working together that is what we have been doing. we look forward to hosting you for a beautiful dinner later on this evening with some of your friends from mexico and some of our great friends in the u.s.. it is an honor to have you with us and we would love to have you say a few words. thank you very much. >> friends, ladies and gentlemen, i truly celebrate this meeting with you. president trump. my visit to a great extent has to do with the importance right now in these times of world economic crisis the importance of entering into effect of the mexico u.s. canada agreement or usmca. having been able to close this deal, constitutes a great accomplishment benefiting all three nations and

united states ranks about seventh there, 3% of people with disease in united states have passed away from covid-19. another way to look at it, what is number of people per 100,000 passed in united states compared to other countries. unfortunately on that metric rank third behind the u.k. and mexico. 65 per 100,000 in u.k., 45 in mexico and 42 in the united states. tragic thing is our numbers are rising because our cases are going up exponentially. in compared to the u.k. where the cases are low and flat. unfortunately i think we're going to surpass the u.k. in number of deaths per 100,000 in the united states. >> it's a disturbing development, more than 140,000 people in united states have died. early march, five or ten confirmed death in united states. south korea, 20 or 25 confirmed. we have more than 140,000 deaths in the u.s. from coronavirus, they still have under 300 deaths in south korea. they clearly were doing a lot right. we were doing a lot wrong. you're on the front lines of this fight, dr. faust. we know there's a lag between tests going up and mortality rate following.

states however the united states still maintains a military advantage or so it thinks and so it is putting a full court press on china which not only includes these military maneuvers but also pressure with regard to hong kong also pressure on so-called out wides including great britain to not go forward with the telecommunications deal with the chinese giant speaking one way and that also includes putting pressure on canada to continue to detain the daughter of the founder of weiwei who is under house arrest and vancouver british columbia so you have to see this in a wider concepts carol back so much john you heard what jerrold said how is he right or how is he wrong. to global commercial system upon which the nations of the world including china have been able to join prosperity and joy prosperity peace and flourish meant it's a largely dependent on freedom of navigation freedom of overflights and street and open shipping and what china has done in the south china sea over the last decade is to undermine those principles and illegally and unlawfully declare one of the world's poster teac

he served in the united states congress, and he also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife were the hosts during james buchanan's administration in washington, d.c. 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 are standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1865, jefferson davis received word from general robert e lee, commander of the army of northern virginia, that they could no longer hold the confederate 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 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 back

weaken on the 180 by that it could also weaken the united states as well in particular the united states security. can you tell us why are american troops here in germany anyway. well they are obviously a remnant or a legacy of the cold war they're seen as a very important element of the postwar international order numbers were big in the past in fact since the fall of the berlin wall those numbers have decreased by germany is still the country with the largest number of u.s. troops in europe and that's why it is so important it's not only about paying to protect germany these troops here in germany pay a very important role for the united states and for the security of the united states and if you look for example of the composition you will clearly see that the ramstein base for example is seen as a very important hub for u.s. operations in the middle east or in africa you will see that they that is largest military hospital outside of continental united states you will feel there are commands here like the european command the africa command they play a very important role in the way

that's why i can see what is going on in the united states is an internal problem of the united states and the american people have a right to make any remarks involving what is going on and how it will affect internal policy and how it would affect the events in your country. best regards to bb. i respect him very much but i'm a little surprised that he has decided to involve me in the discussions regarding the internal situations of the united states. i hope you will not be offended if i stop here regarding remarks on what is going on in the united states. and i would like to convey this message to all the guys who are listening to me that would like for you to recover from this situation as soon as possible. we are very much interested to see the united states as a prosperous country. it's impossible to mention, the united states, it's impossible to create an island of safety and another part of the world it's possible to live in another world. so i wish you good luck and i wish you prosperity and i would like to stop here. said let's move to the foreign-policy here. >> it's more ea

is a president of the united states and national security threat to the united states? >> i think by virtue of his du duty, his failure to protect americans whether on the battlefield, in afghanistan or here at home in the face of a grave threat from coronavirus. and his very bizarre pensions for cozying up to our adversaries in doing vladimir putiprudence bidding is in fact acting against the interest of the united states. and that is is about as plainly as i can put it. we have a president who is acting against the interest of the united states. >> we also have a president who likes to spin conspiracy theories and disseminate conspiracy theories. one of them president obama and the obama administration spied on his 2016 campaign in an interview with a christian broadcast network in june he said it is treason, when i came out a long time ago they were spying on my campaign, they have been taping and that was", a modern-day version of taping, it's all the same thing but a modern-day version that they were spying on my campaign. did that happen? >> you know and i know mo

the next last session of the united states conference. it pays you tribute to secretary of state. organizer of the successful meeting. he has now been named united states representative to the new international organization. is present with this role and recognition of his efforts >> and a history making moment as lord halifax calls for a standing quote on international organization and the heads of the 50 united nations delegations rise to be common. >> the vote is unanimous. as the session adjourns, a charger of the new world is born. arriving in san francisco is president harry s. trueman. he's met with the u.s. delegates and the chiefs of the 49 other delegations. among them, premier of south africa and the prime minister of canada, mr. mckenzie king. trueman leaves for a brief tour through san francisco. citizens turn out the street to hail the king. are climaxed by the siting of the nation's charter. first to sign is china, the first nation that suffered aggression. delegation of the soviet union signs for russia. great britain is represented by her delegation chairman lord

in the early days of the united states if i recall. from germany touring the nazi time who came to us universities including the new school in new york and others. at the bar college who is representing so there's a lot much longer tradition than just people of all the generation here and. being the world's university and being credit lee attracting to talent from all over the world has been a key ingredient to soft power and will remain so in the 21st century and i fear it is another element of what richard houses also called the education of the united states as a global leader yeah it's a very good point it's a disturbing point because you can't buy soft power either you either have it or you don't and dream a cynic member of the german parliament and professor irwin collier economics professor here in berlin to both of you gentlemen thank you very much we appreciate you sharing your stories with us tonight thank you. if they get. the new security law in hong kong has created more questions than answers how far will the wall go in c

china and the united states. it's fundamentally false. we're asking every sovereign country to pick between freedom and tyranny and that's the choice every leader's got to make. when i go around the world that's what i talk to them about and they all know the united states is the country they want to be alongside. they know that freedom and the rule of law and the protection of these rights is essential to their country and it's why i think the tide is turning around the world and people are seeing the chinese communist party for what it is, the threat to the security of their people. >> i agree with the tyranny and freedom. i characterize it as state control and self-determination. the world is turning into a binary equation. if you add up the gdps of those state-controlled countries, it's probably less than $23 trillion. if you add up the gdp of all the rest, it's over $70 trillion, mr. secretary. i want to relate that back to the last question that fwogoes your comments earlier. i think you agreed 1,000 percen

this kind of thing is happening over and over across the united states. and i will know that the pandemic has unfortunately not stopped any of this. in fact we've heard from federal, state and even local officials that chinese diplomats are aggressively urging support for china's handling of the covid-19 crisis. this is happening at federal and state levels read not that long ago we had a state senator was asked to introduce a resolution supporting china's response to the pandemic. the punch line is this. all of these seemingly inconsequential pressures add up to a policymaking environment in which americans find themselves held over a barrel by the chinese communistparty . all the while, chinese governments and communist party have brazenly violated well-settled norms and the rule of law. since 2014, chinese general secretary xi as spearheaded a program known as foxhunting red china describesfoxhunting as an anticorruption campaign . it is not area instead fox is a sweeping bid by general secretary xi to target nationals he sees as threats and who live o

basically puts the united states in the superpower 'd. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day. with a virus that is behaving exactly as predicted and feared when we 1st began reporting on the new corona virus outbreak in china back in january there were predictions even then of a global pandemic that would come in waves in brazil in the united states where the virus has infected and killed more people than anywhere on the globe the number of new infections is still skyrocketing the curve has yet to be flat the 1st wave is far from being over but here in europe with the exception of the u.k. new infections have been on a downward trend since may a summer of call that may be the call before the 2nd storm today public health officials warned that the next wave of this pandemic is quickly approaching 6 months after germany saw its 1st occur in a case many germans feel relatively it eath. but germany's leading research institute warns that the worse may be yet to come but don't any noise

states senator and vice president of the united states. that's just pressure ebt. think about that breckenridge was serving as u.s. senator from kentucky when he defected to the union, signed up to become their secretary of war and betrayed the union and they still have his bust outside of the united states senate saying vice president on it despite the fact that on december 4, 1861, he was convicted of treason by the senate and stripped of all of his titles including senator, president of the senate, and vice president. so we may as well put up a statue of benedict arnold to honor him for his service to the continental army before he defected to the british side and led british troops against america. so let's go all the way here. if there are statues of traitors and racist white supremacist supporters of the confederacy up in the capitol, then we need to get rid of them. this is our opportunity to remake the social contract as represented by the symbolism in this great house. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time ha

but united states and china so ok i don't know if this actually benefits united states from economic one of you but unfortunately that's what he believes and you know we can debate about that after x. off this trade war fortune there's no empirical evidence showing up in you just a hook as a trump strategy doesn't matter to me is it is not a hallmark of 4 years of all. that did. you know that's that's his sources coming from unfortunately he wanted to have china being a champaign issue in 2020 an actual problem is that today you know china has entire in fact an operation is less than one days off. 4 in fashion united states that this white china issue is inevitably connected to this mismanagement and total fiasco in content of house and house this so this is not coming as strong on one side he has to clean up the childish you i'm just on the other side it reminds of american people of the shah contrast between china and united states respect to the congo policy issue but don't give the american media that much credit and the american public knows virtually nothing about china at the

has ordered china to close one of its most important consulates in the united states you see it there in the video the fires burning are apparently the folks there in the embassy burning some of their personal papers the chinese consulate in houston texas is shut down and china is responding with an apparent ultimatum already wow this shutdown of the consulate is only the latest sign in a growing trend of countries being punished by the u.s. state department in fact it's not just china. as of this writing the united states has a whopping $7967.00 sanctions in place $7967.00 sanctions it's a somewhat bizarre and almost astonishing list that includes not just countries but even individuals. people stores small companies and tire corporations governments types of governments even branches of governments the usual suspects of course on the sanctions list are countries like iran and north korea russia venezuela turkey on and off and now the biggest target of all china but then there are the secondary sanctions aimed or targeted at countries who dared to do business with any of the above me

british invaded the united states. they were stopped at a place .alled baltimore after the war of 1812, james madison said, we need to establish fortifications up and down the eastern seaboard. simonecruited general engineer,he french who helped us establish the system we use today. it's an example of the largest and best of all of those ports. was decided was decided that pt was the location for fort monroe. it wasn't finished until 1834. the model that we see today is exactly what it would look like in 1834 when the first soldiers began to populate this fortification. simon bchman, general an intelligent engineer. he made it one of the strongest strongholds in the united states. he had several angles on the fort. as the energy -- enemy approach the individual walls, they could be cross fired from different angles. it has a moat. this moat was originally movened to allow them to materials around the fort to help with construction. after it was completed, the moat made another level of defense for fort monroe. the larg

you know we are not here not to go to bed but i'm being from the united states. you know and china are 2 national. and the girl's eyes are on the strategy because i have. got a lot happening underground is not going to get us because i said you don and i try not to suggestions for how many years but mr bassett we cannot minimize the horrible relations between the united states and iran it's as bad as i think it's ever been. how much of this do you think is your fault what could you have done differently with the trump administration to makes the situation the relationship more amenable. you know just to chat about what has been happening there last thursday don and i'm going to be in. the 5 plus one i did on which is call the tontine if you know any of us i've been in and i'm going to continue i really thought. i'm going to ask them what on the subject matter. to get to the was the donkey of the united states and not in a 2000 even so it is not a dog who left the negotiating table it's funny how i can remember jason. and. old action on you don't need you to do it

the united states of socialism. he is interviewed by eminent institute senior fellow benjamin powell. then 10:00 p.m. eastern, doctor ezekiel emanuel, former special advisor on health policy, director of the office of management and budget during the obama administration, discusses his book which country has the world's best healthcare. watch book tv on "c-span2". this weekend. sunday night on q&a, journalist talks about the history of voting in the united states. in her book thank you for voting. >> there is a massive impact on voting rights. there's not any advocate or attorney that does not see it is just a ground shaking impact. so while of course, the discriminatory's are illegal, there's not federal oversight and history determination that they kind of stopgap for the need federal approval to make voting changes. >> what sunday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern on c-span q&a. >> illinois rep. is chair of the democratic congressional campaign committee. it cheri bustos. she joined the executive to talk about the democ

states towards hong kong as it has a special status for the united states in trade and relationships is that this is over now and that comes on the heels of we just heard of the law which the senate and congress at home as a whole overwhelmingly signed off on issuing sanctions or giving the president the power to issue sanctions against individual and businesses in hong kong all behind this is of course china's implementation insisting on implementing the new security law in hong kong with that the president says hong kong has to be treated like mainland china and preferential treatment is over. all right well this executive order and if this law passed through congress and then signed by the president what effect would you be expect these to have. well well of course relatively immediately if fact business done between america the united states and hong kong businesses they have big businesses which needs and enjoyed so far for many many decades since the. great britain gave hong kong basically away and i did 97 back or back to china i should say. this was 2 systems and one country

in the united. states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with britain's 5 g. phone network minus the chinese components today the u.k. government announced plans to ban the chinese tech giant who away from constructing the country's high speed 5 g. wireless network it marks a major course change for the u.k. on many levels who away was an equipment provider when the u.k. built its 2 g. 3 g. and 4 g. phone networks british prime ministers have hailed who away as proof of strong business ties with china but just as wireless phone networks have changed in their power in reach so has china itself who away is the global leader in 5 g. equipment but the u.s. says allowing a chinese company access to critical infrastructure such as 5 g. would be a threat to national security the c.e.o. who or what it has said that the company would never engage espionage for beijing but u.s. president donald trump he is not convinced in may the u.s. imposed sanctions on who way to prevent the company from using american supplied microchips u.k. lawmakers say that was a game changer m

the united states is out. we are on holiday in the united states. equity marketsat that are negative. i don't think you can take too much in terms of the signal today from what you are seeing. ifumes are very light and you look the fair value, they are negative open markets. the chinese markets are very positive. we saw cfi 300 with a new high. we had very positive data early on. the u.s. dollar is flat. the debate continues to be economic reopening versus virus. economy versus virus. information come out of florida. the number of cases continues to climb, nearly a million -- 11 million cases. we think brazil. , give us your sense of where we are, particularly in the united states. we had the florida case is that seemed to be stabilizing. is it too early to say the reentry to lock down from key portions of florida, how people are mixing bars and restaurants is having an effect? john: i think it's way too early to say that. these measures take quite a while. caseser when we first saw taking off in china. they locked down 12 million people. months for

states, throughout the united states, related to murder in california, to arson throughout the united states, and destruction properties. so i want to make it clear. obviously we will use all resources to protect the monuments both in the d.c. area and throughout the united states but we are also using these resources not only to charge federal cases, as you described, 150 cases. also what people don't realize is the fact that under the direction of the attorney general, the fbi, and other federal law enforcement officials have leveraged and worked with local officials throughout the united states to charge hundreds of other cases related to local charges. assault and battery, theft, and even though we don't get a federal staff for those cases, there are hundreds of other cases the federal government has used to assist those local law enforcement agencies. to ensure that look, this violence will not be tolerated and it cannot be condoned in any way. and there's a difference between these crimes and legitimate protests that were seen throughout the united states. >> tucker: of course.

gene talk about it briefly, within the united states? does the china-russia partnership entente, what a joy to color, include intelligence cooperation and had to divide, distract, undermine? democracy in order in the republic? >> is that a question for me? >> for anybody since it is china and russia. >> well, i don't think we -- thanks, paul -- i don't have the necessary knowledge to answer this question definitively what i would say it serves both russian and chinese if they venture into the area of -- it serves the interest to show that american democracy is not perfect, that democracy can be extremely messy, to the point of being debilitating as i think some of the outlets that they support have argued. you know, authoritarian governments have the upper hand as they like to argue those i think it strengthens their approach to domestic politics. >> would anyone care to comment -- we have a question from todd on you too. what impact will the changes in artificial intelligence have upon u.s. relations with russia and china? this is a fas

determined by the united states. richard i would be remiss if i didn't ask you one more question again related to a different book you once wrote in that book you basically argued that u.s. foreign policy was directly linked to the domestic economic and social conditions of a country it's hard to imagine a bigger mess than in the united states today with 44000000 people unemployed you know racial divides in the nation and a pandemic hitting as sort of 3 tsunamis at the same time and so i just want to ask you to reflect on the domestic sources of foreign policy which you got at and say we got to fix this stuff that you said it years ago. that was not heeded and so i just kind of remember that book and say wow if only everyone had read richard haass but tell me your thoughts right now on this moment where our domestic you know set of conditions are pretty horrible. thank you for raising it the book was foreign policy begins at home and you're right the immediate situation the pandemic the 10s of millions of unemployed

high level business or we speak in the offer of the united nations you know united states to europe and to germany the united states of america presented a partnership at eye level for us of course the usa are a bit stronger and bigger we know everybody can see. this partnership at a high level in neighbors as relate to make the best possible ules of our potential and if there is mutual benefit to all of our 4 sides then the nato alliance can really deliver what it has been founded for if you see this i and i level communication is still being a life of president trump in the white house. well this is what i put to the table this is what has always been a big difference for example. in comparison with rush hour china how they. behave towards the neighboring countries and that's why it's so crucial not only to come to substance but also to be careful in our communications what we can contribute to a chance for cooperation we've all delivered many experts say the withdrawal is a really a big gift to the kremlin. do you agree with that no i don't think so it's a shift towards. eastern flan

states says that she is was in the united states under false pretenses essentially that she has been working with the chinese military and was not conducting the biology research that she says she was doing now this again mark to escalation in the tensions we are watching very carefully to see what more the united states might have to say about this given the fact that the united states has released a statement with regard to these sort of tit for tat closures of consulates in both houston and in chengdu the statement coming out of the national security council that these actions of by the united states in texas were to protect american intellectual property americans private information urging the chinese communist party to cease its malign actions rather than engage in tit for tat retaliation but of course the united states seeing china's actions as doing just that and we should point out very quickly that the press secretary here at the white house kelly mcinerney set to conduct her briefing watching very carefully to see what more of the united states may have to say about this c

students from the united states. well i mean that was certainly what i had put in there they're interactive that they issued a essentially last foreign students that we're going to be attending online only courses with a few options and i don't think any of the options are grace and the 1st is leave the last 2nd to try to scramble to transfer schools and a few weeks notice assuming they can find a course in a school that is not online only and force the schools to to go on to kind of change from online only to in person or face deportation so they're the options that they were left with into law it is to say that harvard and mit have already northwestern university in chicago and recently just joined in in support of harvard and mit position as well and i know you tweeted out a loophole a possible loophole i don't know whether you're being humorous about it i'll get to that in a 2nd 1st of all do you think this seriously is a recognition by those in power in the u.s. that students they consume is but they don't contr

of the united states of america. it is specifically, counterintelligence rather than prosecutorial, so he's not to not trying to drum up evidence to go to court, but a counter intelligence operation to destroy a political enemy of the government. a couple of reasons, one legal proceedings against the communist party leaders, they have been very successful in sending numbers of persons to prison the laws are favorable to doing this at this period of time. it also explode soft fbi informants you had to go through in front of a judge. so they were revealed as part of the court hearings. and in 1956 and 57 the, court begins to roll back laws and illegal measures that will put in place against dissidents, and they had free rein to round up anybody who was member of a group who might espouse overthrowing the united states government. which the court terms was used loosely interpretive loosely, and was able to put top leaders in jail. so top leaders by the way are operating for a foreign party kiss is controlled by moscow.

states will be the greatest form policy challenge united states bases in the decades to come the policy of the chinese communist party undermine us interest and values including those we share with allies and partners around the world t t. covid-19 has brought this challenge to the forefront of american life to know just how much the chinese communist party's decisions and actions directly affect us citizens our allies and partners in the entire world and we know the pandemic will not stop their behavior whether hong kong the south china sea or the border the last three years the trump administration has tried to put the united states on a stronger path to compete with china last week i was glad to see long-overdue sanctions on the chinese communist party officials bed and elsewhere. i was also pleased that we declared china's claims in the south china sea is unlawful and deployed to carrier battle groups there for exercises. and after the chinese communist party crushed hong kong's atomic, the president made the tough but necessary decision to end certain types of special treatment for

i mean absolutely in the united states right now it's very hard to qualify for housing assistance but even amongst those who meet that difficult sort of barrier only one in 4 households who qualify get it it's like a lottery system that you can't even get entered into the lottery and actually the true cost of fully funding those vouchers is not extend astronomical i think it's estimated to be about $41000000000.00 a year to fully fund those vouchers we spend nearly that on homeless shelters and frankly if you go up and down the west coast most people experiencing homelessness can even get a bed and a shelter this is doable but we just haven't had the policy energy around we know that if you give people housing vouchers they are no longer homeless and yes we would need to work on the housing production side and some other things but this is a this is a doable thing we just haven't had the energy to do it and i think you know what i don't said is exactly right mean that that homelessness so disproportionately affects black and brown folks i mean the black community is at 3 to 4 fold ris

advantage of the united states. i know that, and they know i know that, but other presidents had no idea. joe biden released his unity platform developed with socialist bernie sanders, describing what he would do if elected president. the biden-sanders agenda is the most extreme platform of any major party nominee by far in american history. it is worse than bernie's platform, it has gone so far right, and he has to because he is begging for that vote. to draw up my people quickly pres. trump: these are actual key elements of the biden- sanders unity platform. abolish immigration detention. no come in here illegally, more detention. stop all deportations. we get an ms-13 gang member, which we are taking out of the country by the thousands, back to honduras, guatemala, cannot do that anymore. el salvador. stop all deportations. we will take all these people, many of whom are imprisoned for rape, murder, lots of other things. of illegaltion border crossers. and we have to stop the whole process. stop the deadly sanctu

united states abandon the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global capitalists they have cut back links that leaves the vast middle class without jobs. the future it's a disaster here covered over with endless theater but the reality is a disaster and if mr trump were there you would see other people emerge trying to make a political career by there if i could tell you this i will tell you look there is a struggle going on in the united states between a left wing response to the collapse of the middle class that's represented by a new wave of socialist by bernie sanders by alexander cortez and all of that and there is no right we all turned it over he says and you see that in trouble well i mean there is somebody in the middle i by the name joe biden but let's talk about him after a short break we'll be back in just a few moments. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very cr

yesterday it was 77,000 new cases here in the united states. just how dire is this situation, sanjay, right now? >> well, you know, wolf, you look at the graphs and you see the sort of linear change. you see that two-dimensional graph. i think what a lot of people pay attention to as well is the pace at which this is increasing and the pace at which these numbers are going up is very concerning as well. so they're going up, but they're going up at an increasingly rapid pace. it's kind of like a big steam ship in the ocean, wolf. it's gaining momentum. and no matter what even if you can basically hit the brakes on this thing, it'll still take a long time to slow down. so the more momentum the steam ship gains, the harder it's going to be to slow down. a few weeks ago we could have said, hey, look, if you do these things, less aggressive sort of things, it's likely to really slow down the momentum. but now that you got all this inertia in these numbers and that growth trajectory, it's becoming harder and harder to slow down. it's going to require

. >> welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." we're following breaking news. the u.s. has now surpassed 3 million known coronavirus cases as the death toll here in the u.s. approaches 132,000 people. right now fatalities are on the rise in florida, arizona, and texas, and seven states are seeing record numbers of hospitalizations. also breaking, just a few moments ago, the white house was asked if president trump has confidence in dr. anthony fauci, but the press secretary kayleigh mcenany wouldn't say whether he does. as the pandemic rages, the president and his team are increasing pressure on schools all across the united states to reopen with the president tweeting that he may actually cut off funding to schools that don't reopen. vice president pence says the cdc will be changing its school re-opening guidelines after the president publicly criticized them as too tough and too expensive. let's begin with the breaking news out of california right now. cnn's nick watt is in los angeles

but they don't need to be named for enemies of the united states. and i think there are plenty of people for whom to rename these insta lailingses. and the idea that there are political officials who are drawing the line in the sand about these allegedly glorious names is kind of an insult to history. d i think we're going to see those soon enough. there's really no valid argument for keeping them named for confederate leaders. this is not just a southern phenomenon. there's a port in brooklyn, new york called fort hamilton. i know it well. it's where i went for my draft physical in 1968. and when you go to fort hamilton you go past stone wal jackson drive on robert e. lee avenue. why? because both men served at forlt hamilton in the years before the civil war. in lee's case before the mexican war. well, i think that's an easy one. there should not be an honor to the robert e. lee who fought against the united states who fought against his army who fought against his west point education in brooklyn. anyway, calls have been made to change it but aga
