americans do not know american history and our swept up by this man's rhetoric. it is a commentary on our education and that is why it is so vitally important that we know our history, and particularly the more shameful parts of american history. we learn more from those chapters where our democracy faltered then the glorious chapters that we are exposed to all the time. so, people like donald trump need to know our history. the mayor of roanoke also expresses the same types of comments, and i extended an invitation to him and i spoke with them over the telephone as well. he is a charming, southern gentleman.

this changed american society. people were connected to extended families, the suburbs separated people from the workplace, leaving them isolated. this became a white enclave, leaving inner cities increasingly black and poor. now, these two saw all of this going on and they recognize that this was changing everything. their names, dates and maurice mcdonald, they had failed almost everything they had done. look at them. they were among the first to understand that the fundamental changes taking place in society that affected americans, would also affect what they put in their mouth, how they ate. mcdonald's opened a small drive in in 1940. after the war, mcdonald's understood that people were living further from work, commuting longer distances and had less time to do everything. they wanted to capitalize on the phenomenon of american life accelerating, the nature of life accelerating, and the change in dinner. it opened in restaurant -- they opened a restaurant in order to focus on speed, lower prices and volume.

there were 52,000 american deaths. a lot of people for the macs i've never really on the battlefield. but if you shoot out shares took a hundred thousand of french and german and british that a bag still seems very small. the american sacrifice proved to be that crazy compared to what the other nations have lost. when american soldiers come home, they absolutely expected to go back to their old lives can pretty much walk away and say thanks for the memories. there's almost no preparation for their return home. again, had america not been prepared for fighting the war, they did expected to attend a 1918 even though they knew they were going to be casual tuesday had constructed a system to care for these men. when the war ends unexpectedly soon, after they return them home in a way that was going to help them raise emotionally or medically or vocationally the government was completely unprepared for that. there's a few halfhearted efforts but the whole thing was a par. the reason this is important is because it leads to

but for black americans, do a little homework. there is a rich relationship with the party of lincoln and black americans. lincoln and lis republican party was created because they wanted to break away from the wigs who wanted to expand slaves out west. lincoln wanted parody like martin luther king. there is a history there and a reason why black americans like me believe fundamentally believe the policies the conservatives offer empower us more than the democrats. you see after president obama's two term black americans are frustrated. travis smilely and others are saying i don't know if he delivered on the promise he made. and do we deserve to give him over 90% of our vote? this is a good thing. i think everybody should have their eyes wide open. i am a republican but it does mean you will earn my vote just because you have an r near your name. no other race, and i will repeat this, no other race gives nearly their entire vote to one party but black americans and then we complain when democrats don't deliver on promises. so i yu

it does not empower the american people. and, in fact, it does what the title of this bill says: keep them in the dark. that's not what the u.s. senate should be about. and we need to defeat this bill, whether it is through the cloture process or later on. this is bad, bad, bad policy. i yield my time to the senator from oregon. mr. merkley: mr. president, would my colleague from montana yield to a question? mr. tester: yes, i will. mr. merkley: thank you. i appreciate your presentation. this monsanto dark act 2.0, this new version, it says to the states that they no longer have the right to respond to their consumers' interests in providing a consumer friendly label that alerts them to genetically engineered ingredients, but it does not replace that with a federal consumer friendly -- is it right, is it right that the federal government takes away this power from states, which are, full, are places of experimentation and creativity and then does nothing at the national level? is this an overreach of the federal government?

and the average american. and we see this all the time now. this smug arrogance. and this condescension from these well-educated, supposedly, rich people who have made it in america, who look down at the american people as if they're a bunch of idiots and losers. and that's the division that's killing this country. >> but how do you -- i mean, when you look at everybody who's running, there's not a sort of every man atop either tier. hillary clinton on one side. >> trump is the every man. >> trump is speaking directly to these fears. and the reason -- >> interesting. >> why there's so much instability, why so many people on both sides are taking to the streets, is because trump, for a lot of people, is speaking truth. for a lot of people who are equally angry, it's abhorrent what he's saying. >> let me press in with you. you're known hillary clinton for many years. >> and i've known trump for many years, too. >> you probably haven't worked on anything with him the way you have with her. >> i've worked with don

japanese-americans were integrated back into thehe american communityty relatively quickly. as the country moved a away from the precipitating event, the persecution got better gradually. what you see in n this campaigns the opposite. we have one successful terrorist attack on u.s. soil 11 years ago, get if you look at such -- things never get better. never or the abuses curtailed. even f further away from the 9/11 attack, things cocontinue to worsen. you see far more fbi raids and arrests where the fbi creates and funds and conceals a plot that it t tricks young muslims into joining, then they trumpet that they have dismantled the plot. then they y put them in prison r decades, far more so now than 10 years ago. when you look at the form of material prosecutions, they are far more remote connections to his designated terrorist groups, literally 20 two-year-old muslim americans who upload youtube videos critical of u.s. foreign policy are being indicted based on the grounds of the youtube video encouraging support for terrorist group, done in coordination with them, therefor

many americans were still not convinced. 20 years later, americans are even more resistant to accommodating southeast asians, who they viewed as too culturally different to be properly assimilated to the united states. the pain of the vietnam war also probably had a great deal to do with that reluctance. despite the news of refugee camps in thailand and the news that hundreds of people were dying at sea to reach safety somewhere in the world, less than one third of americans were in favor of sponsoring vietnamese or other southeast asia and refugees on american soil. despite this public opposition, the white house always took the lead on refugee policy. they favored refugee admission for humanitarian reasons but also as a tool of cold war foreign-policy. refugee serves a symbolic function during the cold war. it demonstrated the desirability of democracy over to tell terry and his him -- totalitarianism. these photos are of people from east berlin trying to reach west berlin. as you see, some refugees went to extraordinary lengths. they built underground tunnels, jumped over fences and wall

the fact of the matter is that most american jews will vote based on their attitudes toward american domestic issues and take no heed from what aipac has to say. so israel is not all that important to american jews in the voting booth. it's only really important for the much smaller segment of american jews. aipac isn't all that important, but in terms of donation and fundraising, aipac can also signal to political action committees where to spend their money. so it is important in terms of the financing of american presidential campaigns, but less important in how american jews themselves vote. >>> going down the candidates, cruz toed the proisrael line? >> he was proclaiming himself the most pro-israel, not likely the win over any american jewish support. >> and trump seemed to move to the right, despite comments, he hadn't fully rejected the iran deal. >> right. well it's very hard to know where donald trump stands. he changes his mind or positions from day to day. today he reversed his position on claiming to be neutral on the israeli-palestinian conflict, he abandonedden that. h

american value that trumps, if you will pardon the expression, all others. they believe that the degree of america's goodness is defined by the extent to which majorities are able to have their way. such people are bound to believe that it is the job of government to facilitate this by adopting a modest deferential stance regarding what legislatures do. and regarding what executive branch officials and agencies do. here, judicial deference is said to be dictated id nature of the modern presidency. this began with the presidency of andrew jackson but did not fully flower into modern communications technologies especially radio and then television changed the nature of the american regime by changing the nature of political campaigns and of governance. the current believe is that because presidents alone are elected by a national constituency, they are unique embodiments of the national will and hence should enjoy the maximum feasible untrammeled latitude to translate that will into policy. the twofold problem is that majorities can be abusive. and some questi
