Auto news on Youtube Nov 20 2018

so hello coin collectors are you going today my name is Glenn today I

have a Morgan dollar so don't know what the Morgan dollar is it is actually a

u.s. $1 coin as a weight of twenty six point seven three grams there should be

the actual weight diameter of 38 put my millimeters thickness of Freeport one

and Dow minted between 1878 and 1921 and they seem to be popular because they're

pretty easy to get they have a high mintage and you can get them get a lot

of them for under $100 probably except for rare ones and high-grade

uncirculated coins it depends on the year so I got this coin it was sold to

me is almost uncirculated but I reckon it might be extremely fine it could be

almost uncirculated I'm not too familiar with US coins so this one has a mint

mark then below yes which is San Francisco and you can get ever mint

marks CC for Carson City I believe we're just some place in the US and over New

Orleans which is a Louisiana and this is actually the first u.s. coin that I have

come across so let me just fix this up that actually doesn't have a crappy

Eagle in it so this one has a eagle standing on look like sticking it to

arrows from a bow and arrow heads in god we trust' United States of America one

dollar I personally I'm not really interested

in US coins I think I think they're over right a bit as there is a 320 million

Yanks Americans then um it is a good area to get into so as you can see

it has a lot of moisture it also has a lot of damage for so I'm gonna great

distance yeah myself says a porous unum which is on a lot of coins but it

doesn't have a Liberty so have Liberty no so that is missing so this one is

dated 1891 and it has a mintage of five million two hundred ninety six thousand

so it's quite a high mintage for a Morgan dollar outside of the moment

which is a Philadelphia Denver one of those two I can't remember and well it's

just a normal mintage so I'm wearing gloves

because I actually don't want to get acid so if you put human acid on there

it has things that can react with the copper and to a lesser extent the silver

so how would you

ynette this coin is actually real so I have scales here okay

now I don't have actually coin scales this only goes to one gram because I do

my coin one got damaged so I need to get another one but this one will do for

these tests so if you put the come on maybe I'll turn it around let's see what

weight we get

looks like about 27 grams I'll put it in the center 26 27 in this option but if

you have a coin scale you can actually find out the actual weight of the coin

okay then you need to find that diameter so you'll have it in inches that's one

nearly one and a half inch I don't know what the sub denominations of inches are

but that's basically I know millimeters because I'm a civilized person he should

be on these new mr. fuller specifications

she'll be thirty eight point one millimeters then depending you do it

looks about that in only thirty eight point one but if you get a caliber which

you saw two pincers you put together and you can actually get a more accurate

measurement of the size if you want to do the magnet test let's find out so I

have a magnet so if you go out that no so it's not made out of any steel still

it could be a plated coin you just never know and then you get into the finer

details you actually there are a lot of sites on fake Morgan Dollars so there's

a silver coins I actually have a video where you put ice on different metals

and it shows that Silver's met highest thermal conductivity so the amount of

energy gives off to the ice which is 406 something that's millijoules joules per

degree Celsius so

you can use the ice test and the ice will melt quicker on the silver the

magnets what else dimensions tests you have just done that

the white test visual test now the visual test is for the more experienced

coin collectors and what you're looking for is like you take a few images of

real coins from the internet prefer from sites that are like a those that have

coin shops coin groups that has some legitimacy and you just see if there's

any differences in the coin now I have not done it so I'm not too sure but I'm

going to actually do that later it's also a ping test which I won't use this

Morvan dollar but I use the 50 cent coin so what you do is you that's the ping

test and different coins do that as a higher or a ping test

high-pitch because it's a lot smaller this one is a deeper one and if I take

five cent there is even higher because it's just the way it goes and that is

the ping test so if you do it silver actually sound different than the copper

and nickel coins but I wouldn't do this one because I've this good chance you

could actually drop it and damage it so what else let me have now that's all

the information I have so a beautiful Morgan dollar I'd like to feel from

America I'd like to have a comment about what you think this coin is like what do

you think the grady's is there any problems with this coin

you see so there's a reading on the side

as I from Australia not for me that much of us coins but anyway I'd say thank

very much for watching our awesome coin collecting time people okay they give it

a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and have awesome

coin collecting time people bye bye

$200 Million Operation: How Deep State funds Caravan and Chaos in the United States - Duration: 18:15.

Today on Edge of Wonder,

We take you to Disclosure Fest in Washington D.C.,

Where we met with former FBI agent, John DeSouza, aka, the X-man.

He'll share with us how the financial institutes are connected to the cabal,

how the immigrants caravan could very well be a psy-op.

What entities and people may actually be working against the cabal.

And who Q+ really is.

Then after this riveting interview,

Be sure to join Ben and Rob as they share their experiences from the Disclosure Fest,

Including some conversations with some old friends,

And some new ones,

On this episode of Edge of Wonder.

Okay so hey everybody welcome to Edge of Wonder,

we're here with John de Souza at Disclosure Fest,

and we have an opportunity here to ask him a few questions coming off of

Above Majestic which is really exciting,

and John how has the reaction to Above Majestic been since it published.

It's been amazing, it's number one documentary on all streaming services across the board,

number one documentary in the country right now.

And the response has been amazing,

and it has really brought forward to people to a new audience,

a lot of these realities that we discuss all the time,

and it's really opening up a whole new world for a lot of people.

So we're really happy about that.

So one of the biggest questions I have is you're actually in Above Majestic

you talked a lot about finance and the cabal, right.

And I kind of like to hear a little bit more about that.

So the financial institutions are connected to the cabal,

how are they connected to the cabal,

why is this danger

and what what else would you like our audience to know about that.

I want the audience know that whenever they see

like these big anti American activities going on.

Like let's say these mobs that suddenly appear out protesting American institutions or whatever,

or protesting people in general,

unruly, violent mobs,

or you see unruly violent mobs squads of people coming to our border,

all of those activities are financed by your money through the central banks,

because the central banks have all the money,

they are the dynasties that have all the money.

George Soros and all of these dynasties, they have that money,

and they have unlimited funds to finance these mobs that are attacking our borders right now.

Each one of those people, they have to pay them $7,000,

every single person, and that's just the start.

So you're saying basically that people coming over are actually.

it's like a psy-op,

what you're saying right,

like trying to get these people over.

it is, it is like a military invasion pretending to be an organic social activity

where all of these people suddenly decided they don't want to be in their countries,

and now they want to be in America because of economic conditions.

That's all theater, that's all theater.

This is a well financed attack, asymmetrical attack against the United States,

financed by George Soros and all the NGOs that have our money through the central banks,

and this operation, people are estimated conservatively that this whole operation,

this alien invasion against our borders,

had the cost conservatively maybe 200 million dollars,

if you include the buses, they're using luxury buses.

I mean there's these luxury model the buses are like half a million dollars each.

Its enormous costs involved with this,

but it's incredible and people need to know that,

we are all paying for that through the central banks,

that's why the nationalist forces are getting ready to throw off the central banks very soon,

and that's something that's way overdue.

So what would that be like ?

What's working against this system,

the cabal that's been set up for I mean probably now like 150 years.

So talk a little bit more about like the group that's working against this to try to

The groups that are working against this that are…

For instance, the Fed is raising interest rates when there's actually no reason to,

they're doing that as direct attack against Trump and Putin

and all the nationalist forces that are have gotten together

and are working to throw off the cabal,

and so they're doing that in the stock market also,

at a time when that shouldn't be existing,

they're trying to strike back against the nationalist forces,

and of course at the tip of those nationalist forces is Donald Trump.

He is the top guy in that group, but there's many many others,

there's leaders in Austria,

there's leaders in Europe even that are taking over from the globalists.

And these people all working together,

and they are working towards a reset of the central banks to get rid of them,

and that stuff is so complex that we don't even know

what it's going to look like when they do this reset,

but it is coming.

Passover time here

So I have a good question for you actually.

Q+ recently posted about Whitaker thanking sessions for basically all of his work and all of that,

I kind of want you to just drop a little bit about what's going on with that.

Tell us a little bit about it.

There's been a lot of evidence, because of context,

that Q+ is actually Donald J. Trump.

All right,

and you have to just look at the context

and really go deep into it to see what that's all about,

but it really looks like Q+,

which is a separate entity from Q is actually Donald Trump,

and Donald Trump just dropped after sessions resignation and all that,

the theater that he fired Sessions, he did all that.

There was a drop from Q+, it said to Sessions said,

"thank you for your service, we will not forget your sacrifice,"

which is a really weird thing to say to somebody that you just fired supposedly.

And so it really looks like this whole firing of Sessions

and bringing in this provisional Attorney General was all a theater,

and that Sessions has been doing a service somehow by resigning himself,

what do you call that,

recusing himself from the prosecutions at laying low and now being fired in humiliation.

It looks like he's probably going to be brought back later,

maybe as the judge of the military tribunals that are ultimately going to be prosecuting the sons of **** that we all know in the cabal.

I just wrote a post on our blog on edgeofwonder. nyc actually,

just specifically about this, talking about Jeff sessions,

and bringing in Whitaker now.

My understanding Trump wanted the deep state

and the public to like Sessions,

now it's like let's bring in this young guy,

and he has this photo on his Twitter site,

Lifting weights that's like twice my weight,

from my understanding, this is what happened with the protest then,

because it's like you're bringing this younger guy in,

and whose looks like he's just going to go Rambo style,

and then I saw this quote that said this guy hates Hillary more than you do.

It's like wow.

Yeah looks increasingly like this was all an elaborate set up,

and Whitaker is being put in,

specifically because he's not a political appointee,

or even a political figure.

They can't do anything against him.

He's just a temporary appointee and yet the guy is a bulldog.

And it's a possible that he has been brought in to clean house

with the drops of the sealed subpoenas during this entire period,

even connected to the military tribunals,

and that's what it's looks like right now.

Well, actually I think we can end it right now, because John is actually on one of the tables right,

he is get ready to speak in front of everyone,

so we're going to call it here, but we really appreciate your time John,

really love having you around.

Come anytime on the show.

Edge of Wonder is the greatest,

they are the best at what they do, bar none,

Edge of Wonder are the best there is, no one better, thanks so much man.

Guys don't forget to hit like and subscribe,

until next time, we'll see you out on the edge.

That's awesome, thank you.

Disclosure fest was awesome,

we didn't really know what to expect,

but it was really great to see the amount of people that showed up.

And how many people had stories about how they came,

like they just decided the night before to come because they knew they wanted to be there.

The experience of the meditation, the group meditation that everyone did.

I mean it was pretty cold, I was wearing a T shirt meditating because the energy was just…

I felt the energy was just so strong.

There was all kinds of people from the community, like the influencers in the community that all came.

And they were speaking at Disclosure Fest,

and just hearing them speak and learning even more about what's going on with disclosure.

All of that stuff was just pretty awesome.

My highlight actually was really meeting the fans,

but aside from meeting the fans and interacting with everybody,

and just having them come up to us and talk to us.

Just hanging out with like some of the the main people there,

like Laura Eisenhower, Jordan Sather, Corey Goode, we just started talking to them,

and it was just a really amazing experience overall.

There were a couple of highlights for me I think.

One I just found it really interesting interacting with some of the influencers in the community

that I haven't interacted personally with,

like when Corey Goode saw me,

he just came up to me and gave me a big hug,

and it was really nice to see how genuine people were there,

Cuz usually you are on the other side of like a phone call or something

or you're communicating through email,

but this was in person,

you got to talk to them,

you got to joke around with him a little bit,

and also hear personal stories of theirs,

so I think that was definitely one of them.

The other one was,

I was completely blown away at our fans actually.

Last conference we were at was Contact in the Desert right.

we probably had about 7,000 subscribers then,

but now we have like 165,000 something like that,

and I was just shocked to see how many people recognized us,

and how many people were approaching us and they were just really shocked to see us there,

obviously Ben and I aren't really used to that.

So we were like wow,

and that it was pretty amazing yeah.

I think the best thing out of everything that happened was meeting our fans.

Because this is really the first time that we met our fans in person,

so coming here, it was just phenomenal.

We heard a lot of things that day,

and I really enjoyed the panel.

So the panel was when everybody got up there,

and Jordan was asking every single one of the panelists questions,

and everyone kind of got to give their own little 2 cents on what was going on right now,

and hearing where we're all at in the disclosure community,

and what was so interesting about it was that every single one of the speakers right,

there is a thread through each one of them,

even though a lot of them are talking about different things,

what interested me most was that this is how we can understand the truth right,

is when you have multiple people are coming out and telling their story.

But somehow they're all connected in one way or another,

either historically or specific things going on with ETs or disclosure

or the spiritual aspects of these things.

Having them all connect was kind of like validation that this is really something that's going on,

and that more and more people need to wake up and kind of learn more

about the true situation and society actually.

Just hanging out with them was just really really cool,

especially Laura Eisenhower,

it was just an amazing experience like talking to her,

and we're really connecting with these people on a much deeper level.

Just the conversations that we're having,

and the understanding that what's happening with disclosure overall.

A lot of new people are starting to come out and really talking a lot

about what's happening in the disclosure community.

How it's really affecting them,

I think one of the best experiences overall was meeting this little boy named Shawn.

He was 11 year old boy and he just ran up to me and was just like,

oh my gosh,

I've been watching you I've been watching every show of yours,

I'm one of your biggest fans,

and he was this 11 year old boy.

And I was like, do you want a photo with us,

and he's like yeah sure.

So I was like, let me go get Rob.

And Ben comes around the corner from the tent.

He's like Rob Rob come here,

And I'm like ok, what's up.

So I go around the corner, and he's with this little boy,

And the first thing I noticed is that his hand is bright orange.

He had his hands in some Cheetos for like 2 hours.

When I went over there, I just gave him a big handshake,

Got a bunch of Cheetos on my hand and gave him a big hug.

We got to talked to him about all the different stuff that he's been watching,

And we were really shocked to find out that he is just…

It's his favorite TV show.

And Rob was like, do you watch our deep state series?

He's like yeah, I watch everything.

And he doesn't really watch that much other shows,

or if he does, it's not as much as he watches Edge of Wonder,

so it was like really awesome to interact with him and his mom and and his brother.

I've never encountered anything like this before,

it was just so funny, it was great.

And we can't thank our fans enough.

I think our fans... we're here because of our fans.

We have the best fans in the whole world.

I think that with the current state and the truth,

I think next year 2019, we're going to see some really really big things happen.

There's kind of like this cosmic timing that almost happens

where when there's a shift in the overall situation of the world

or of consciousness I should say,

it's almost that some things line up and then people naturally step forward,

whether they're the called to step forward,

whether they have visions that they need to come out,

or just some ideas that they have.

And I think because of this, and more and more people are talking about disclosure,

more and more people in the world are getting into this,

like more media are reporting about UFO,

different phenomenon or whatnot.

people that have been really really hard core and following the media recently

I've seen them react to some of this new information coming out.

people are actually not able to kind of call everything superstition anymore.

And I think that overall globally there's this mass consciousness awakening

where people are starting to think about these things.

Maybe they thought about it here and there,

but now it seems to be more prominent in their thinking.

It's like what is really happening,

is there really a disclosure,

does all these things exist,

and I think more and more people are searching for the truth,

and as people are searching for the truth,

there's like a natural thing where more and more channels, people,

just more and more things are talking about all these different events happening,

and I think that we're seeing this global phenomenon,

where the disclosure is going to be from the people.

I mean you're not just talking about 1,000 people, you're talking about millions of people

who are actually waking up to the truth they have no choice

because it's all getting out there now right.

So this is a gradual thing that's happening,

and then more and more and more people are going to be looking for this kind of truth

and that is why I feel like the Edge of Wonder is so important

so that there is a place that people can come where they can learn about all of this stuff

and have the actual truth

or at least, at the very least ask questions about what that truth is.

It's going to put pressure on governments, on different organizations and all kinds of things

that they'll be forced to start releasing things about disclosure

and I think we're gonna start seeing that happen next year especially.

You know what we've been hearing in history books,

what we've been reading all of our lives,

a lot of these things are just such a small part of the truth,

or the actual events that took place.

Because if we're just robotically listening to what the mainstream media is telling us,

we're not actually doing our jobs,

we really need to take some time and learn more of this.

And that is why Disclosure Fest and the disclosure community is so important

because it's our responsibility to tell those people these things,

And hope that even one person waking up is such a huge deal.

It was just an amazing experience and I can't wait to go to the next event for sure.

Is war between China and the US inevitable? | Graham Allison - Duration: 18:44.

So, let me thank you for the opportunity to talk about

the biggest international story of your professional lifetime,

which is also the most important international challenge

the world will face for as far as the eye can see.

The story, of course, is the rise of China.

Never before have so many people risen so far so fast,

on so many different dimensions.

The challenge is the impact of China's rise --

the discombobulation this will cause the Unites States

and the international order,

of which the US has been the principal architect and guardian.

The past 100 years have been what historians now call an "American Century."

Americans have become accustomed to their place

at the top of every pecking order.

So the very idea of another country

that could be as big and strong as the US -- or bigger --

strikes many Americans as an assault on who they are.

For perspective on what we're now seeing in this rivalry,

it's useful to locate it on the larger map of history.

The past 500 years have seen 16 cases

in which a rising power threatened to displace a ruling power.

Twelve of those ended in war.

So just in November, we'll all pause to mark the 100th anniversary

of the final day of a war that became so encompassing,

that it required historians to create an entirely new category: world war.

So, on the 11th hour of the 11th day

of the 11th month in 1918,

the guns of World War I fell silent,

but 20 million individuals lay dead.

I know that this is a sophisticated audience,

so you know about the rise of China.

I'm going to focus, therefore, on the impact of China's rise,

on the US, on the international order

and on the prospects for war and peace.

But having taught at Harvard over many years,

I've learned that from time to time, it's useful to take a short pause,

just to make sure we're all on the same page.

The way I do this is, I call a time-out,

I give students a pop quiz -- ungraded, of course.

So, let's try this. Time-out, pop quiz.

Question:

forty years ago, 1978, China sets out on its march to the market.

At that point, what percentage of China's one billion citizens

were struggling to survive on less than two dollars a day?

Take a guess -- 25 percent?

Fifty?

Seventy-five?

Ninety.

What do you think?

Ninety.

Nine out of every 10 on less than two dollars a day.

Twenty eighteen, 40 years later.

What about the numbers?

What's your bet?

Take a look.

Fewer than one in 100 today.

And China's president has promised that within the next three years,

those last tens of millions will have been raised up

above that threshold.

So it's a miracle, actually, in our lifetime.

Hard to believe.

But brute facts are even harder to ignore.

A nation that didn't even appear on any of the international league tables

25 years ago

has soared,

to rival -- and in some areas, surpass -- the United States.

Thus, the challenge that will shape our world:

a seemingly unstoppable rising China

accelerating towards an apparently immovable ruling US,

on course for what could be the grandest collision in history.

To help us get our minds around this challenge,

I'm going to introduce you to a great thinker,

I'm going to present a big idea,

and I'm going to pose a most consequential question.

The great thinker is Thucydides.

Now, I know his name is a mouthful,

and some people have trouble pronouncing it.

So, let's do it, one, two, three, together:

Thucydides.

One more time: Thucydides.

So who was Thucydides?

He was the father and founder of history.

He wrote the first-ever history book.

It's titled "The History of the Peloponnesian War,"

about the war in Greece, 2500 years ago.

So if nothing else today, you can tweet your friends,

"I met a great thinker.

And I can even pronounce his name: Thucydides."

So, about this war that destroyed classical Greece,

Thucydides wrote famously:

"It was the rise of Athens and the fear that this instilled in Sparta

that made the war inevitable."

So the rise of one

and the reaction of the other

create a toxic cocktail of pride,

arrogance, paranoia,

that drug them both to war.

Which brings me to the big idea:

Thucydides's Trap.

"Thucydides's Trap" is a term I coined several years ago,

to make vivid Thucydides's insight.

Thucydides's Trap is the dangerous dynamic that occurs

when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power,

like Athens --

or Germany 100 years ago, or China today --

and their impact on Sparta,

or Great Britain 100 years ago, or the US today.

As Henry Kissinger has said,

once you get this idea, this concept of Thucydides's Trap in your head,

it will provide a lens

for helping you look through the news and noise of the day

to understand what's actually going on.

So, to the most consequential question about our world today:

Are we going to follow in the footsteps of history?

Or can we, through a combination of imagination and common sense

and courage

find a way to manage this rivalry

without a war nobody wants,

and everybody knows would be catastrophic?

Give me five minutes to unpack this,

and later this afternoon, when the next news story pops up for you

about China doing this, or the US reacting like that,

you will be able to have a better understanding of what's going on

and even to explain it to your friends.

So as we saw with this flipping the pyramid of poverty,

China has actually soared.

It's meteoric.

Former Czech president, Vaclav Havel, I think, put it best.

He said, "All this has happened so fast, we haven't yet had time to be astonished."

(Laughter)

To remind myself how astonished I should be,

I occasionally look out the window in my office in Cambridge

at this bridge, which goes across the Charles River,

between the Kennedy School and Harvard Business School.

In 2012, the State of Massachusetts said they were going to renovate this bridge,

and it would take two years.

In 2014, they said it wasn't finished.

In 2015, they said it would take one more year.

In 2016, they said it's not finished,

we're not going to tell you when it's going to be finished.

Finally, last year, it was finished -- three times over budget.

Now, compare this to a similar bridge that I drove across last month in Beijing.

It's called the Sanyuan Bridge.

In 2015, the Chinese decided they wanted to renovate that bridge.

It actually has twice as many lanes of traffic.

How long did it take for them to complete the project?

Twenty fifteen, what do you bet?

Take a guess -- OK, three --

Take a look.

(Laughter)

The answer is 43 hours.

(Audience: Wow!)

(Laughter)

Graham Allison: Now, of course, that couldn't happen in New York.

(Laughter)

Behind this speed in execution is a purpose-driven leader

and a government that works.

The most ambitious and most competent leader

on the international stage today is Chinese President Xi Jinping.

And he's made no secret about what he wants.

As he said when he became president six years ago,

his goal is to make China great again --

(Laughter)

a banner he raised long before Donald Trump picked up a version of this.

To that end, Xi Jinping has announced specific targets for specific dates:

2025, 2035, 2049.

By 2025, China means to be the dominant power

in the major market in 10 leading technologies,

including driverless cars, robots,

artificial intelligence, quantum computing.

By 2035, China means to be the innovation leader

across all the advanced technologies.

And by 2049, which is the 100th anniversary

of the founding of the People's Republic,

China means to be unambiguously number one,

including, [says] Xi Jinping, an army that he calls "Fight and Win."

So these are audacious goals, but as you can see,

China is already well on its way

to these objectives.

And we should remember how fast our world is changing.

Thirty years ago,

the World Wide Web had not yet even been invented.

Who will feel the impact of this rise of China most directly?

Obviously, the current number one.

As China gets bigger and stronger and richer,

technologically more advanced,

it will inevitably bump up against American positions and prerogatives.

Now, for red-blooded Americans --

and especially for red-necked Americans like me; I'm from North Carolina --

there's something wrong with this picture.

The USA means number one, that's who we are.

But again, to repeat: brute facts are hard to ignore.

Four years ago, Senator John McCain asked me to testify about this

to his Senate Armed Services Committee.

And I made for them a chart that you can see,

that said, compare the US and China

to kids on opposite ends of a seesaw on a playground,

each represented by the size of their economy.

As late as 2004, China was just half our size.

By 2014, its GDP was equal to ours.

And on the current trajectory, by 2024, it will be half again larger.

The consequences of this tectonic change will be felt everywhere.

For example, in the current trade conflict,

China is already the number one trading partner

of all the major Asian countries.

Which brings us back to our Greek historian.

Harvard's "Thucydides's Trap Case File" has reviewed the last 500 years of history

and found 16 cases in which a rising power

threatened to displace a ruling power.

Twelve of these ended in war.

And the tragedy of this is that in very few of these

did either of the protagonists want a war;

few of these wars were initiated by either the rising power

or the ruling power.

So how does this work?

What happens is, a third party's provocation

forces one or the other to react,

and that sets in motion a spiral,

which drags the two somewhere they don't want to go.

If that seems crazy, it is.

But it's life.

Remember World War I.

The provocation in that case

was the assassination of a second-level figure,

Archduke Franz Ferdinand,

which then led the Austro-Hungarian emperor

to issue an ultimatum to Serbia,

they dragged in the various allies,

within two months, all of Europe was at war.

So imagine if Thucydides were watching planet Earth today.

What would he say?

Could he find a more appropriate leading man for the ruling power

than Donald J Trump?

(Laughter)

Or a more apt lead for the rising power than Xi Jinping?

And he would scratch his head

and certainly say he couldn't think of more colorful provocateur

than North Korea's Kim Jong-un.

Each seems determined to play his assigned part

and is right on script.

So finally, we conclude again with the most consequential question,

the question that will have the gravest consequences

for the rest of our lives:

Are Americans and Chinese going to let the forces of history drive us to a war

that would be catastrophic for both?

Or can we summon the imagination and courage

to find a way to survive together,

to share the leadership in the 21st century,

or, as Xi Jinping [said], to create a new form of great power relations?

That's the issue I've been pursuing passionately

for the last two years.

I've had the opportunity to talk and, indeed, to listen

to leaders of all the relevant governments --

Beijing, Washington, Seoul, Tokyo --

and to thought leaders across the spectrum of both the arts and business.

I wish I had more to report.

The good news is that leaders are increasingly aware

of this Thucydidean dynamic

and the dangers that it poses.

The bad news is that nobody has a feasible plan

for escaping history as usual.

So it's clear to me that we need some ideas

outside the box of conventional state graph --

indeed, from another page or another space --

which is what brings me to TED today

and which brings me to a request.

This audience includes many of the most creative minds on the planet,

who get up in the morning and think

not only about how to manage the world we have,

but how to create worlds that should be.

So I'm hopeful that as this sinks in and as you reflect on it,

some of you are going to have some bold ideas, actually some wild ideas,

that when we find, will make a difference in this space.

And just to remind you if you do,

this won't be the first time.

Let me remind you of what happened right after World War II.

A remarkable group of Americans and Europeans and others,

not just from government, but from the world of culture and business,

engaged in a collective surge of imagination.

And what they imagined and what they created

was a new international order,

the order that's allowed you and me to live our lives, all of our lives,

without great power war

and with more prosperity than was ever seen before on the planet.

So, a remarkable story.

Interestingly, every pillar of this project that produced these results,

when first proposed,

was rejected by the foreign policy establishment

as naive or unrealistic.

My favorite is the Marshall Plan.

After World War II, Americans felt exhausted.

They had demobilized 10 million troops,

they were focused on an urgent domestic agenda.

But as people began to appreciate how devastated Europe was

and how aggressive Soviet communism was,

Americans eventually decided to tax themselves

a percent and a half of GDP every year for four years

and send that money to Europe to help reconstruct these countries,

including Germany and Italy,

whose troops had just been killing Americans.

Amazing.

This also created the United Nations.

Amazing.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The World Bank.

NATO.

All of these elements of an order for peace and prosperity.

So, in a word, what we need to do is do it again.

And I think now we need a surge of imagination, creativity,

informed by history,

for, as the philosopher Santayana reminded us,

in the end, only those who refuse to study history

are condemned to repeat it.

Thank you.

Judge bars US from enforcing Trump asylum ban - Duration: 5:02.

A federal judge barred the Trump administration on Monday from refusing asylum to immigrants who cross the southern border illegally

U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar issued a temporary restraining order after hearing arguments in San Francisco

The request was made by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights, which quickly sued after President Donald Trump issued the ban this month in response to the caravans of migrants that have started to arrive at the U

S.-Mexico border. Trump issued a proclamation on Nov. 9 that said anyone who crossed the southern border would be ineligible for asylum

The regulations, which will remain in place for three months absent a court order, could potentially make it harder for thousands of people who enter the U

S. to avoid deportation. "Individuals are entitled to asylum if they cross between ports of entry," said Baher Azmy, a lawyer for the Center for Constitutional Rights

"It couldn't be clearer." In recent years, tens of thousands of immigrants each year have shown up in the Arizona desert or on the north bank of the Rio Grande in Texas, surrendered to immigration agents and requested asylum

The Department of Homeland Security estimates around 70,000 people a year claim asylum between official ports of entry

Trump has argued that the recent caravans are a threat to national security. Around 3,000 people from the first of the caravans have arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, across the border from San Diego, California

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Monday that it closed off northbound traffic for several hours at the San Ysidro crossing

It has also installed movable, wire-topped barriers, apparently to stop a potential mass rush of people

As of Monday, 107 people detained between official crossings have sought asylum since Trump's order went into effect, according to DHS, which oversees Customs and Border Protection

Officials didn't say whether those people's cases were still progressing through other avenues left to them after the proclamation

DHS has said it wants asylum seekers at the southern border to appear at an official border crossing

But many border crossings such as San Ysidro already have long wait times. People are often forced to wait in shelters or outdoor camps on the Mexican side, sometimes for weeks

ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said that some people seeking asylum cross between official ports because "they're in real danger," either in their countries of origin or in Mexico

"We don't condone people entering between ports of entry, but Congress has made the decision that if they do, they still need to be allowed to apply for asylum," he said
