the congress of the united states. >> i ran for congress because i think it is important that congress look like america. >> it isn't because we bring -- it is important because we bring the flavor of latinos to congress. >> i have a responsibility to everybody and for certainly those people who are latinos. people take this into account. it is in print we come together as important -- and country come together and important not to forget anybody. >> it really is about representing your community and making sure your community has a point and a bout exhibiting leadership. >> millions of people still live in the shadows. we have to solve our immigration system. we have to make sure it works fairly for everyone. we have to ensure there is a path to legalization. >> this election is very important for the community. by being active and getting others to be active, we can make sure our voice is heard. >> make sure you get out to vote. take your family to vote. take your friends to vote. be the voice for those who do not have one. >> as latinos, we should be proud of the fact that

about process. law is incompatible with the united states constitution. it's not dealing with reality. how we deal with that i'm going to allow our lawmakers to weigh in on that congress. we need to have a public discussion. but what he's getting at he said it too. it is incompatible with the united states constitution and we should not be setting up law courts in the united states that is a recipe for disaster. we will be paying for that on the road because a snack and a step with the two it will spread and the next thing you know we will be looking to or three or four years now. the united states constitution is a law of the land that is what we do here in the united states. if you like it the great thing about america is you are free to leave. deirdre: let me ask you this. a ton of speeches tonight who are you must most looking forward to hearing from. >> eric trump and governor pentz. but listen for the theme. it's putting america first again. that is what the campaign message has been from day one. we need to lead in the world. we can't lead from behind. we can't take a back seat. in terms of the united states donald trump has proven. hillary clinton has never put an

control of the congress of the united states. on that ground, the democrats built their case, arguing they should begin in final and total dominion over all power in this system by control of the executive branch and federal government as well. i believe that is an argument that americans must deal with in grave alarm. that time, long past time, we must awaken to the reality our system is in danger of losing the balances which assured our success and personal freedoms. not in the lifetime of anyone present here, not in the lifetime of the republic itself, have we been so near as we are now to the subjugation of the system under the rule of single party. in the last 24 years, it is the democratic party which has exercise control over both houses of congress. during that time, not a lot has been enacted, not a government agency created, not a tax dollar , withoutthe government the democratic majority controlling that congress.

end of this year, the united states will maintain approximately 8,400 troops in afghanistan into next year through the end of my administration. the narrow missions assigned to our forces will not change. they remain focussed on supporting afghan forces and going after terrorists but maintaining our forces at this specific level based on our assessment of the security conditions and the strength of afghan forces will allow us to continue to provide tailored support to help afghan forces to continue to improve. from coalition bases will be able to continue supporting afghan forces on the ground and in the air and we continue supporting critical counterterrorism operations. we're reaffirming the commitment of the united states to afghan and its people. the decision i'm making today will help our allies align their own commitments. tomorrow i depart for a summit where i will meet with our partners. many of our allies and partners have already stepped forward with commitments of troops and funding so we can keep strengthening afghan forces through the end of this decade. the nato sum

happened, as you know, with the attorney general of the united states saying no problem. hillary, crooked hillary, so crooked. she made so many false statements. is she going to be brought before congress or something? that's bribely, folks. then the attorney general comes out as newt said, but the attorney general comes out and the attorney general says, no charges. that's bribery, wouldn't you say? it's bribery. she said she's going to reappoint the attorney general. boy, was that a fast determination. wow. should have waited a little bit longer. don't just come out with one or two sentences. >> he was fired up yesterday. so we want to know what you think about all of this. you can e-mail us. meanwhile, he also in that 30-minute speech yesterday went after critics who have been slamming him as anti-semitic lately. of course, you remember earlier in the week when this tweet went out from his campaign there on the left and showed hillary clinton with a lot of money raining down underneath a star that looks like the star of david. immediately, people said that's offensive, you're anti-semitic. then they pulled it down. then his campaign said, i wish you haven't have pulled it down. this is

clinton gave in the united states congress, both house and senate. director comey: to see whether it was perjury? no, we did not. chairman: did you review a look at those transcripts as to the intent of your recommendation? director comey: i am sure my folks did. i did not. chairman: so, ok, this is an important point. those of us in congress knowing you have a criminal referral from inspector general thought that you were also looking at whether or not hillary clinton had provided false testimony, which is a crime, to the congress. but you did not look at that. director comey: correct. as i said, i'm confident my folks look at the substance of the statement, try to understand the entire situation. chairman: can you confirm that? director comey: we will confirm that. maybe i'm missing this, but i don't think we had a perjury referral. chairman: it was the inspector general that initiated that. the fact that hillary clinton refused to be interviewed by the inspector general, what did that say to you about intent? director comey: at least for our criminal investigation, not particularl

believe is in the security interest of the united states to do so. these transfers have not been conducted in a vacuum, sir. each transfer is formally notified to the congress and we regularly brief congress on transfers. with the notice of each transfer, we offer congressional leadership and all the national security committees. i appreciate the opportunity we have had to regularly brief you and your staff regarding these transfers. briefly, i think it is important to put these recent transfer decisions on foreign policy context for this committee. any countries and the international community want to close gitmo. -- many countries in the international committee wanted close gitmo. guantanamo detainees that are not nationals of the country. additionally, there is sustained support for our closure efforts from civil society organizations both the messick abroad, including the organization -- both domestic and abroad including the organization. it should answer is only approved after careful scrutiny by the intensive inter-agency review process and the negotiation of the security assurances sufficient to substantially mitigate any threat. finally, i would like t

never become president of the united states of america. [ cheering ] you know, you know, i heard bernie sanders endorse hillary clinton today. [ booing ] i actually served in congress with bernie sanders. and let me tell you, he is the nicest socialist i ever served with in washington, d.c. you know, hillary and her party have been sliding so far to bernie's leftist agenda, it's hard to keep track of it. the truth of the matter is i just have to tell you from my heart, after looking at the direction that their party has gone, farther and farther to the left, to paraphrase the director of the fbi, i think it would be extremely careless to elect hillary clinton as the next president of the united states. you know, we don't need a president who sees obama care as just a good start. we don't need a president who promises to put coal miners out of work and raise the utility rates of hardworking americans. and as the proud father of a united states marine, let me say from my heart we don't need a president who took 13 hours to send help to americans under fire, and after four brave americans fell said what difference at this point does it make. anyone who said that, anyone wh

. hillary clinton's for the death penalty. the united states congress recently supported all kinds of legislation affecting the death penalty in terrorism cases. does this have any meaning whatever and also calling it cruel and unusual? it's not unusual historically certainly. we stopped drawing and quartering so the idea there's never been anything like capital punishment is not true. what does it mean? start with that one. we debated in high school. we will always debate it. does it mean anything that the party came out against it this week? >> i think in the abstract it does. the country if you look at any public opinion polls is sort of souring on the death penalty. you have seen conservative states sour on the death penalty. but it also puts hillary clinton in a bit of a bind. we reported at the huffington post she supported the death penalty for the charleston shooter, dylann roof. now she has a platform that rebukes her on the death penalty. in practical terms i think it does matter. in terms of actual legislative terms it matters very little. it's not like within the first yea

united states senator and what she did with foreign policy has left our nation weaker, less safe and with less respect by our adversaries and more concerned by our allies. anyone who thinks that the obama foreign policy has been a success is not looking at the real world. >> joe, what can we expect from bill clinton tonight? >> well, he's going to be great. well, in a democratic convention -- first of all, he's still one of the best communicators out there in either party so i think he'll speak in a personal way about how he's seen hillary clinton -- that whole trip that they made together from when she was first lady in arkansas through the secretary of state. but i think he's going -- remember in 2008, you know -- >> 2012 when he was -- >> 2012, excuse me, yeah. when he knocked it out of the park. >> best speaker of the week. >> everyone said he was the explainer in chief. so i think he's going to be able to put some of the exclamation -- make that connection. >> at that time, though, karl, you remember this. that was part of the deal. bill clinton, you go out and give that speech

play is dad. i'm a proud father of a college student a graduate turned writer and a united states marine. [ applause ] you know, my career i ran for congress before the republican revolution led by newt gingrich in 1994. i wasn't successful. by the time i got elected to washington, d.c., sometimes i felt like i was elected after it was over. from almost my first day in congress, i found myself battling the big spenders in both political parties. whether opposing no child left behind, the prescription entitlement or the wall street bailout, i fought every single day for taxpayers and fiscal responsibility. when i was a member of the congress of the united states. after the republicans lost the congress in 2006 i was actually unanimously elected to serve in leadership. and we fought back against the nancy pelosi congress. we opposed obamacare, we opposed the tax increases, we opposed the cap and trade and i was part of the team that won the congress back from democrat control in 2010. [ applause ] and all that happened before i went back home again to indiana. but i want to say i answered this call for two reasons. first, because i know from first

presidential candidates say, they will have to intact with the united states congress, particularly the senate, when it comes to crafting policy. there's been talk about our troop presence in japan and south re that's not unprecedented. jimmy carter when he was president proposed withdrawing troops from there. he was stopped by the united states congress. i'm going to play that role regardless of who is president. >> hillary clinton was subject to an an interview by the fbi for three and a half hours today. given what happened with the tarmac incident with former president clinton, the attorney general, her deciding she'll accept whatever recommendation the prosecutors and fbi make, do you have confidence now in the outcome, whatever it is, regarding this investigation? >> chuck, i have always had confidence in our front line fbi personnel, as well as the fbi leadership. i think the events of the last week do call into question attorney general lynch's judgment in taking a private meeting with bill clinton, who is not only the spouse of a target of an fbi investigation, but made him

clinton's top opponent in the united states congress. you had to address your audience knowing that your audience was not necessarily conversant with certain ideas, individuals, things like that. i would argue that was not dumbing it down. it was just knowing the audience. i think right now, when i write stuff at yahoo!, some of the stuff that does the best is stuff on drones, syria policy. part of that is partisanship. people want to hammer this president for what has happened in the middle east. some of it is that it is a headline grabbing story with tremendous visuals and drama. but we do not really dumb that down. and to your point about skimming and mobile devices, it is true. but what we discovered is that one of the best times to put up a feature story is friday morning. because on friday, some of you will notice, americans go to their work, there in front of their computer, and they are not working. [laughter] olivier: one of my most successful, in terms of clicks , most successful stories online, what happens when the president stays in a hotel? all of the dynamics of how it is

people in the united states to her actually law-abiding citizens. that's one thing we can agree on. >> guest: thank you. >> host: booktv recently visited capitol hill test members of congress what they are reading this summer. >> i'm reading the undaunted courage and ultimate sacrifice of s.e.a.l. team six special operator adam brown. this is a book that chronicles a flawed american who became an american hero who channeled some of his characteristics which lead to risky behavior into what made him a great warrior in defense of freedom for our country. >> host: who recommended this book to you? >> guest: actually collect of mine, a congressman from the central valley of california. he is a good personal friend of mine and we were eating dinner one night and he was very emotional talking about a book that he was reading. i was intrigued because i don't know my friend david is a super emotional guy but he clearly was impacted personally by this story. so i asked him more about the book and he described it to me and i had to get a copy. just like david i devoured the book. it was absolutely a page-turner from the very first paragraph, which began, the story begins by saying on mar

, i urge all members of the united states congress to stop from inferring in specific decisions particularly those involving political allies or opponents. during my tenure in the white house, there were very unfortunate allegations that powerful senators sought politically motivating firing of united states attorney. whether or not such allegations were true, it is imperative -- and i'm still quoting -- that members of the senate or the house never again conduct themselves in a manner with such interference could be suspected. and i want to be on the record, i wholeheartedly agree with mr. painter. director, you have demonstrated yourself, you sat here and asked the questions, and i would never oppose to finding the answers to any situation that is directly related to federal agencies which we on this committee are responsible for. but i want to be clear that congress has no business, no business interfering with these types of decisions that are coming in this -- in your responsibility. these type of attacks are not only inappropriate, but they're dangerous. they're dangerous

between the states of how the united states is going to operate. where essentially the congress would run the war, run foreign policy. the states would run their internal. they would cooperate with each other. you wouldn't have to pay taxes or tariffs if you went from state to state. the first problem with the articles of confederation and ultimately what dooms it, you can see from how it is signed. the signing will take place when the continental congress comes back to philadelphia after the british army has left in 1778. the british leave philadelphia in june. congress is back meeting here in july. and on july 9th, they are ready to sign the articles of confederation. the way the signing of that one works is different. the declaration of independence is signed by the delegates and most of them signed it on the same day. the articles of confederation is signed as each state approves it. their delegates will sign it. they are waiting for their states to make their decisions. so about half or so are going to sign it the first day, and over the next week, mest of the rest will sign. now

? ask the congress of the united states to put us on the line. they have been playing both sides of the fence here. we don't have a declaration of war. well -- >> geraldo, we have to be accurate here. he said, show me your plan. and we'll give you a declaration of war. his plan is ridiculous. his own secretary of defense doesn't back it up and the thing just went by the wayside and he went golfing. that was the president. >> president obama. >> president obama. tell me your plan to defeat isis, he has none. and the congress is showing him something to show yes or no to. >> come back to trump and the issue of a declaration of war. because there is a geographic entity that self-describes itself as a state, i think that donald trump should now press this issue to his advantage. here's a country, ersats country and i declare war on isis and let hillary clinton and the president say we can't, we can't, we can't. let the presumptive republican nominee say this is the position of our party. we want a declaration of war against isis. >> yeah. >> there's no equivocating about that. >> all ri

wiping out isis. every single one said it. yet the president of the united states has chosen not to do it. so, my question tonight is should the american people now demand a declaration of war by congress? yes or no? >> i would -- i have asked for that i think in legality, yes. >> should nato now be confronted that you are going to go to war with us because you're in our alliance? an attack on one nato member is an attack by all, by article 5. france just got attacked again. the paste attack, hollande wanted nato in. and guess who stopped it? guess who stopped it? president obama stopped it. >> let me see you and raise you. not only nato but i think russia must also be engaged. those talks now that are filled with suspicion and what's really the agenda here or there? putin must be engaged. it must be the civilized world against isis. we must wipe out this cancerous, terrorist network of extremists islam. we must wipe them out in their rats' nest and we must use all the forces we possibly can. >> now, donald trump, you just heard him, is going to run on that. all right? i don't know vehement is he going to be yes i would get nato involved and declaration of war. he hasn't been out front in c

states congress. [applause] [end video clip] shirley, how did gerald ford do? guest: he did very well. it was certainly the best local speech of his life. he was not known as being a good speech maker, and, in fact, one commentator said ford would put you to sleep in the second paragraph and reagan could not get a standing ovation in a graveyard. he helped write the speech and how to practice in front of the teleprompter. and he knows he is up against ronald reagan, who was, arguably, in 1976, the best speech maker in america. he and jesse jackson probably the best speech makers in 1976, and so he has got to do something about this, and so, he speechrguably the best he has ever given in his life. host: the kemper arena in kansas city, missouri, i mention that because stephen is from kansas city. by the way is the arena still , there? caller: yes, it is. and so my question is, how did , the republicans go from, you know eisenhower through george , bush having a strong america and not always having the gop establishment win, but they were never nationalists like trump. how did they

reagan nominated san sandra day o'connor to the united states supreme court. but 100 years ago, janet rankin was the first woman elected to congress, four years before woman won the right to vote. even earlier than that, marie curry was making history. she became the first woman to win the nobel prize in 1903. speaking of prizes. edith wharton the first woman to take home the pulitzer for 1923 novel "the age of innocence." >> the worst is i want to kiss you and i can't. >> reporter: but it took 87 more years for a female director to be recognized at the oscars. >> well, the time has come. katherine bigalow! >> reporter: katherine bigalow won the academy award for her work. ♪ >> reporter: and after an all male inaugural class in 1986, aret aret aret aret aretha franklin was inducted into the rock & roll hall of fame. >> you heard a lot of people saying it's exciting to think that girls growing up right now will never know a world where a woman couldn't be a president. >> i saw a lot of tweets when a lot of women said i didn't realize how important this moment would be. >>> the doll houses and tree houses are anything but child's play.

bush or clinton before? none of them had any experience. this is the problem with the united states. you have to look for a statesman who has real experience in politics for years, not because to have position in congress for a few years or minister of foreign affairs for example. that doesn't mean you have the experience. >> so a man with no experience in foreign policy, in the white house, is not necessarily dangerous, in your view? >> if any who doesn't have experience in any position, a white house or in the presidential palace in syria or any other country, of course it is dangerous for the country generally. >> how do you think history will remember you? >> i hope that the history would see me as the man who prote protected his country from the terrorism and from the intervention and saved its sovereignty an integrity of its land. >> reporter: because you know what the first draft of history is saying, you're brutal dictator, a man with blood on your hands, more blood on your hands than even your father. >> i would draw that example if you have a doctor who cut the head because of gang green to save the patient, you don't say he's a brutal doctor. he's doing his job to save the rest of the body. when

enforcement. yes, we have a difficult issue is congresspeople, blacks in the united states of america in congress, we have a difficulty all 46 of us in bringing this issue to the mind of the republicans who controlled both the house and the senate. we have been relentless and focusing on this issue even as the greater body of democrats focus on the issue of mass killings we have been focusing on the every day homicides that go on in african-american communities that do not grow a moment of silence, no one really cares because they don't live in communities like we do. we understand, we know, we feel we feel the pain, we see the anguish of the relatives of friends left behind, we see the victims were left wounded badly in the street, and wheelchairs. we love our people, we love our communities, we fight for our communities, we will continue to do that and however long it takes before we are successful at gaining hearings on this particular issue, the homicide of african-americans at the hands of law-enforcement in america is a historical problem. we will not stop until we are successful at having hear

[applause] we republicans have had some tough competition. we not only preach the virtues of competition, we practice them. [applause] but tonight we come together not on a battlefield to conclude a cease-fire, but to join forces on a training field that has conditioned us all for the rugged contest ahead. [applause] let me say this from the bottom of my heart, after the scrimmages of the past few months, it really feels good to have ron reagan on the same side of the line. [applause] to strengthen our championship lineup, the convention has wisely chosen one of the ablest americans as our next vice president, senator bob dole of kansas. [applause] with his help, with your he

the united states congress in a way that may be able to override a veto. but i'm not prepared to give you more detail at this moment except to say you are right about the total non-utility from a sporting perspective of armor-piercing bullets and we are focusing on it. >> is it worth a try even if you face a veto? >> i've learned t in front of my name. v, vice president. but speaking for myself i think it is worth a try. >> vice president biden, we're grateful for your time, thank you. >> thanks an awful lot. >> the republican convention opens next monday and today the party got to work on its platform. julianna goldman has more. >> reporter: as donald trump campaigned in virginia and railed against hillary clinton, republicans gathered in cleveland when trump is set to accept his party's nomination next week. >> lord, we know it is truly only you who can make america great again. >> reporter: but the first platform at hand? setting out the platform for the party activists. >> i am going to insert the language. >> reporter: earlier today delegates took up issues like same-sex mar

politics over this time. there are now some 20 women serving in the united states senate, 104 overall in congress. this is the first woman, hillary clinton, to accept a major party's presidential nomination here in the united states. at this time, i want to get your reaction to that, that it's taken this long for a woman to be a presidential nominee. >> well, my reaction is this. it took us a long time to get to vote. 1920, the suffragettes. women have had to work for everything they've gotten in society. previously, it was very much a male-dominated society. now that women are ceos of big companies, they're chairman of board of directors, they're surgeons, they're doctors, they're in the military. we still fight. we fire fght for equal pay. we're not there yet. and we have fought to break this glass ceiling, and we have. and that's a big accomplishment. and fortunately, it's a most qualified woman. it's a woman experienced. former secretary of state, as everybody knows. i think one last thing, i think after last night, i've talked to friends who say, i never really knew that hillary rodham clinton did

. look, it is reprehensible that there is someone in the united states congress who thinks and believe that's way. but he is in the house. his district likes him. and they keep sending him back. but i think that i take heart in the fact that his comments of being heard and reacted to with condemnation, that this country realizes that what he is saying and what he has said and what he will continue to say is something that is behind the times, racist, ignorant, and is not truly reflective of what this country is all about. >> and it is a deep understanding, he doesn't understand the idea where the western civilization came from and he doesn't know his own history which was a concept created around world war i because we had to engage with europe because most didn't want to fight the civil war across the atlantic. and it is recognizing that us up for election in his fourth district and recognizing that iowa is changing, increasingly latino and asia and the question mark is why hasn't he run at large. for a long time he was touting this idea that he would run for senate. and he decided no

the united states. so my advice to american women, take it over. run, run, run. this won't matter as much as you might think. >> jane, i don't know how much sane people would want to run for public office. i hear a lot of people say that. but that's a whole other topic. let's focus on the first man's role. you know, i slipped and said vice-president, but some people do think, jane, that bill clinton will be more of a partner than a first man, if hillary clinton is elected president. >> well, sure. in 1992, when bill clinton ran for president, he told americans that they were getting two for one, because he was so proud of his successful wife, hillary clinton. so you know, who knows. it really, you know, the constitution does not dictate what the president's spouse does. it is not in law. it is cultural. so this is breaking new grauoun. it will be up to the clintons, kind of how he wants to carve that role. he had such a successful presidency when it came to the economy, 4% growth average, that i wouldn't be surprised if she gave him something like that to be a focal point for him.

look at testimony that hillary clinton gave in the united states congress, both the house and the senate. >> to see whether it was perjurous in some respect? >> yes. >> no, we did not. >> did you review and look at those transcripts as to the intent of your recommendation? >> i'm sure my folks did. i did not. >> so, okay. and this is an important point. i think those of us in congress knowing that you got a criminal referral from an inspector general thought that you were also looking at whether or not hillary clinton had provided false testimony, which is a crime, to the congress. but you didn't look at that. >> correct. as i said, i'm confident my folks looked at the substance of the statements trying to understand the circumstances around the entire situation. >> can you confirm that? >> yeah, we'll confirm that. also, again, maybe i'm missing this but i don't think we got a referral a perjury referral from the congressional committees. >> no. it was the inspector general that initiated this. did the fact that hillary clinton refused to be interviewed by the inspector general,

democrat in his life said uh-oh, i like this guy because it was the united states of america. this is, again, the huge takeaway is we have had politicians and we've had media outlets saying, hey, if we divide the country up, then we can get these small sections. you've got somebody who has the guts to put their arms around everybody and unite america, just wait and see what happens. >> you can talk about how negative campaigning works and that's all true. at the end of the day people want a vision, positive optimistic vision to vote for. they don't just want to vote against. that's what we forget a lot of the time. >> as good a night as last night was for michelle obama democrats still have ahead of them president clinton, vice president biden, president obama, the list goes on and on. >> the nominee and then hillary. this time last week, who was on? >> there was chachi. >> antonio sabato. >> underwear model. >> plagiarized speech. >> high-end underwear model. >> i'm a low end underwear model. >> fruit of the loom kind of guy. >> it was low rent. i'm sorry. comparatively. i knew this

united colonies free and independent states. that is the announcement of the birth of the united states. to be sold, the brigantine two friends. and we move on to the classifieds. in some ways, i love showing people that volume as much as the declaration. so that is really the birth of the united states. of course, nothing on the fourth, because that is the day the declaration is finally being put into its final form and adopted by congress. at the end of the first page, all of these lines are indictments against the king. congress explaining its decision to declare independence by citing all his grievances against the king. among those, he has abdicated government by his declaring us out of his protection. that is saying basically, my armies and navies are going to attack you. then he says, he is at this time "transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun --" this cap, this fragment of a cap, originally belonged to one of those foreign, what americans referred to as foreign mercenaries. the hetian soldiers from o

by the end of this year, the united states will maintain approximately 8400 troops in afghanistan into next year through the end of my administration. the narrow missions assigned to our forces will not change. they remained focused on supporting afghan forces and going after terrorists but maintaining our forces at this specific level based on our assessment of the security conditions and the strength of afghan forces will allow us to continue to provide tailored support to help afghan forces to continue to improve. from coalition bases in jalalabad and kandahar, we'll continue to supporting bases on the ground and in the air and continue supporting counterterrorism operations. i'm reaffirming the enduring commitment of the united states to afghanistan and its people. the decision i'm making today can help our allies and partners align their own commitments. as you know tomorrow i depart for the nato summit in warsaw where i meet with our coalition partners and afghan president ghani and chief executive abdullah. many of our allies and partners already stepped forward with commit

seated in the building that was used by the congress of the united states between 1790 and 1800s. for those 10 years, philadelphia was the capital of our country. mind, because tradition of the united states was ratified in 1789. congress moved in less than a year after that happened. they were organizing our country using the brand-new framework of government. they added three new states to the union, vermont, kentucky, and tennessee. he also had problems. for example, one afternoon, a representative named mr. griswold accused another representative by the name of mr. lyons, of being a coward. poker fromook the the fireplace and mr. griswold took an imitation wood and sword and they battled it out here on the floor. of all the events, probably the most important was the inauguration of john adams, our second president. the constitution says that every four years we must elect a new president, but this was the first time we had tried to pass power from the hands of one man into another. some people felt that george washington might not willingly give up his power. however, the inauguration took place without any difficulties whatsoever. >> mr. adams is about to realize his dream. let the ceremonies begin. >> a government in

we have to deal with in the united states congress. and i'm hopeful that my colleagues, democrats and republicans, will see fit to do so soon. >> i have been interviewing a lot of police officers over whether that is a justified sense or not, that is definitely a profound sense that i found, widespread. what do you say to police officers who are saying that's how they feel? >> a majority of police officers are hard working individuals, they're there to protect and serve. as we just witnessed by the bravery of the dallas police department and those officers who were running toward danger, not running away from danger, and there actually to protect and respect the ability of people to peaceably assemble and to exercise their first amendment right to protest, police departments all across the country are to be respected and to be admired. but at the same time, we can't ignore the fact that we do have a problem with the excessive use of police force, often directed at african american men, resulting in tragedy. whether that's the eric garner case, tamir rice, walter scott, freddie gra
