american connections. we have the original boston. we have the birthplace of captain john smith. we also have a place called gainsborough, which is where many of the original separatists came from, the people who formed the nucleus of the community that became in due course the colony. i thought i had better read carefully the manual. we do not have moose. it told what happened if you hit a moose. to watch out for these creatures. and i drove up through king field and stratton and eustis, and i kept a wary out -- a wary eye out for any large and load creatures. it was just getting dark. it was november. fori congratulated myself looking out for the moose. what i forgot was, i was driving alongside the road, and some of you may know -- you climb up the highway and you come over the crest of the ridge. and as i came over the crest of the ridge, i heard a snorting noise, and in front of me was a very large, hairy -- driven by a very large, hairy french-canadian. i took evasive action. he took evasive action. there was screeching of brakes. i stopped, he stopped. we narrowly missed each

worked to a tee. sitting next to her is my good friend john ashbrook, who is founding partner of cavalry llc. and a very familiar face on capitol hill in all kinds of interesting roles. sitting next to him is jim alper, with a group home to -- i suspect home to many more former folks who work in politics after this cycle. and on the end there is my fellow maryland neighbor john judis, who is author of the pop i list explosion. i will start off briefly by talking about a conversation i had in the white house, right before i went out on the trail. probably in february of 2016. actually, right before the primaries and the caucuses. it was probably late january. i was sitting with a senior administration official. because that's what we do, we talk to senior administration officials and never quote them on the record. which i am not going to do now. and i said to them, president obama has clearly done very well in the last two years, you know, very well sort of objectively by asserting executive power in the last two years of his administration after a very rocky first two years afte

the mayflower hotel in washington, d.c. historians discuss his contemporaries, including john anderson who served with him in the british war cabinet in world war ii and churchill's personal physician. this is about an hour and a half. >> good morning. byant to begin congratulating you for joining us at this un-churchillian hour of 9:00. he was a man of tremendous energy. i cannot help but feel if we lived in the true spirit of churchill, we would all be in bed at this time of day. of course, we would have read all of the newspapers and have worked through all of the daily correspondence by this point. i feel many of us are lacking in the amount of domestic and secretarial assistance sir winston had through much of his life so perhaps our failure to emulate his morning routine is pardonable. i'm a senior research fellow at the margaret thatcher center for freedom located in washington, d.c. the title of our panel today i'm great contemporaries has a truly churchillian ring to it and i am delighted to be joined by three distinguished churchillians who will be speaking on men who played

the attorney general's john marshal award for trial litigation and the attorney general's award for fraud prevention. she also had before joining the criminal division a position as a partner at morgan lewis and bachius and she was co-chair of the corporate investigations and white collar practice group. it's great to welcome you back to your alma mater. you know, you're here in school again. and we're delighted that you're here. she is also graduate of another football power house, pennsylvania state university. she will first provide opening remarks and then karen pop from the law firm of sidly austin will give a response as well. let me just also introduce karen at this time, too. she's on the firm's executive committee and she leads the firm's white collar government litigation investigations group. that group is recognized as one of the top high profile white collar groups in the united states with substantial experience and legal political and public relations aspects of criminal defense, internal investigations, sec matters and the list goes on. karen's practices is informed

america entered the war the former british chief of imperial general staff field mushroom sir john dill, who preceded alan brooke, wrote to washington -- from washington to brooke. never have a scenic country so utterly unprepared for war and soft. rateritish did not highly america's conscript armies. they did not leave the u.s. aaf's --they do not support their belief in daylight bombing of german cities or believe they can lead any good outcome. churchill did not share the british general's pessimism. about theive reading american civil war convinced him that once the nation was fully engaged, extraordinary productive capacity to be unleashed as well as the vast armies recruited. the country protected by its oceans from the kind of disruption suffered by british industry. churchill was soon proved to write. while in 1940 the was produced less than half the amount of the munitions produced by the u k in 1941 it was two thirds. in 1942, twice as much. in 1943, nearly thrice. in 1944, nearly four times as much. that in such a short period of time. --1941, britain produced 59 the ana

in this conversation dr. john to right american orian at civil war museum and author of onfederate battle flag america's most embattled emblem. kelly brown-douglas thraoepbeologien. ellis t to me dr. rex associate director at national african-american history and culture recently opened here in washington. dr. coski i want you to take us period when the windows were being imagined, designed and installed. was a time when americans look back as to civil war ial of the approached. we were experiencing the candidacy of strom 1948, the departure of the final and oldest confederate veteran so there firsthand witnesses to the war. they were leaving the stage. it was sort of a secondary through ssed down people rather than an experience spoken of firsthand. we as a -- where were we as a country and in our civil war and f that period when we got to the windows 0's when these were being contemplated? >> i will stand so i can see everyone. can everyone hear me? you have asked me to digest my entire book but a little bit the 1950's. before dixiecrats 1948 which was an important year in the hi

brother, maurice. and then congresswoman gabrielle giffords. big supporter of john f. kennedy. when kennedy was elected, he appointed stewart udall to be that secretary of the interior. he served under lyndon johnson as well. right here is his exhibition case. here we have several things related to kennedy. as a member of the cabinet, he was invited to the funeral. as a member of the cabinet, stewart udall was on a chip to during the assassination of john f. kennedy -- on a trip to japan during the assassination of john f. kennedy . he found out about the assassination while on the plane on his way to japan. what we have in the case are his notes that he wrote himself on the plane. basically documenting his initial shock, dismay, and deep sorrow. here we have a best-selling book intten by stewart udall 1963. it's called the quiet crisis. it's about the history, the environment, and america, as well as the future. he was an early environmentalist and generally out of his time in the conservation movement. morris was the brother of stewart and he took to congress with his brother. he

too much trust house's democrats. the john stephen is give it is a reasonable one. in terms of whether whoever is elected will be like justice scalia, that's, you know, huge role to fill. the supreme court has dealt with a lot of difficult issues. a lot of challenging questions statutory and constitutional methodology. now can expect anyone to hold the same set of views, the same results across issue after issue after issue. justice scalia reached liberal result, a whole host of areas, criminal procedure, for example. food is what some folks on the list might lean the same way, others might go the other way. there could be some areas where the be differences. i don't think those will likely be the areas that are of particular concern to democrats. >> i think that's probably right. i wonder if the concession judges are going to hold different views and so was inconsistent with this one conservative vision of the constitution which is been pushed but all the recent nominees. i do think that the criminal procedure area is why think is perhaps the most room for movement. there were

this month right here with john gray and our colleagues. a discussion on the lessons of 9/11 and we remember particularly the victims. john o'neill who contributed to academic work we know very well lost his live, trying to save lives of others people. we knew personally a number of people and students who happened to be in the building. i think what's critical since we have representatives of diplomatic embassies that over 90 different nations were affected by this terrible tragedy. somehow we learned short history. anyway, let me move onto our next speaker. it is, indeed, a privilege for me to introduce dr. -- professor daniel emerson. as i said, you have the bio. i just mentioned some highlights former u.s. secretary of state of foreign affairs and special coordinator in southeast european civilization and associate director of policy planning for two u.s. secretary of states. currently executive director of the senator of transatlantic relations johns hopkins university and personal professional level, i'm delighted that daniel published many books. one of them on terrorism and

john f kennedy, my particular hero. and i think it thought best in this brief moment that we have together to address just two aspects of that churchill/fdr relationship. or friendship, should i put it. the first is the actual nature of that friendship between fdr and churchill. a relationship which, as you know, ended rather badly. when winston declined to attend the funeral of his great friend. here in the united states. and the second thing i thought we might address in our brief time together, was what was really going on between the two men in what david reynolds, professor david reynolds, who is head of came bridge university in england, has called the missing weeks of october 1943. when the grand alliance came dangerously close to breaking apart and could only be rescued by its great lied leaders at th summit. now, about the nature of the fdr/churchill relationship, very briefly, there are two wonderful books about that relationship, really. the first is a book by john meachem, pub listed in 2993, and sir martin gilbert's book "churchill in america" published in 2005. i new

involved at saratoga began with a phone call from this gentleman. this is john connor -- john carter -- john cotter. in 1972, he called me and said we really need you to help us out. we are getting ready for the american bicentennial. we are a little concerned about the saratoga battlefield, because we are not absolutely convinced that they have put the interpretive signs exactly where they ought to be. we don't want anyone to be misled about the nature of these battles. i was in my early 30's at the time. when he presented me with the notion that i should do the archaeology of an area that is over five square miles in size and he was going to give me $2500 to do this, i thought, why not? [laughter] when you are 32 years old, that kind of request is seen as a challenge rather than the impossible task that it -- that anybody with more sense would have thought it to be. here's what the battlefield looks like today. the white boundary line is the modern -- the current boundary. back in the 1970's, the park was slightly smaller. it's pretty much the same as you see it now. what they were

might have added, his own counsel. i think however one regards the atomic aspect of sir john anderson's career, and his outlook does now seem idealistic, unrealistic, naive, even. knowing what we know about stalin's nuclear ambitions, i hope you'll agree that anderson's importance to churchill and churchill's dependence on him at times makes anderson deserving of being remembered for something more. important though it was, but something more than a garden based bomb shelter. thank you very much for your time and attention. [ applause ] >>> good morning. thank you, ted, for those initial words. william mckenzie king. well, the major participants on the allied side in the second world war were britain, the united states and the soviet union. the contribution by what could be called the second division was a significant factor in the successful outcome of the war. this sector included the members of the british empire and commonwealth. of the dominions, the major contributor in the war was canada. the contribution of that country and the war was opined by the british historian richard hol

situated on the hill above president john f. kennedy's grave in arlington national cemetery. today it is the most visited historic home in the national park service system which is marking it's centennial this year. arlington house will close at the end of 2016 for a yearlong restoration made possible by a $12.35 million gift. >> i am a park service ranger. i have been here many years. i sometimes joke i spent more time in this house than robert e. lee did. although it was his home for 30 years. it's perhaps the most unique place in the entire national park service and perhaps in regards to historic houses one of the most in the entire country because what we have here is a place that truly represents the entire history of this country from its earliest founding with the original colonists that came in the early 1600s through the revolutionary period. leaders of the american revolution. signers of the declaration of independent and representing in many ways one of the uglier aspects of american history and that is slavery. it played a crucial role in the american civil war. home of gener

reunification between jefferson and john adams. many historians and biographers who are inclined towards a progressive interpretation of the american experience have also contributed to downplaying the importance of the alliance between washington and hamilton. these scholars, unfortunately, echoed the distorted account of jefferson and his lieutenant, all of whom engaged in what it believed is the first american example of the politics of personal destruction. jefferson believed that hamilton favored a monarchy and that hamilton had betrayed the spirit of 1776. hamilton was in essence a british agent. and this cunning immigrant from the caribbean repeatedly manipulated an aging, somewhat dimwitted george washington, president of the united states. hamilton's premature death in 1804 at the hands of vice president burr, presented jefferson -- john adams, who also despised hamilton, partly for good reason, would later join jefferson in crafting a narrative which portrayed hamilton in a most unflattering light. adams believed that hamilton suffered from an overabundance of secretion

journalists will be asking questions tonight. they are john mashick of the boston globe, ann come ton of abc news, and sam van oaker, a free lance journalist. we will follow a format agreed to by representatives of the clinton and bush campaigns. that agreement contains no restrictions on the content or subject matter of the questions. each candidate will have up to two minutes for a closing statement. the order of those as well of the questioning was determined by a drawing. the first question goes to mr. perot. he will have two minutes to answer, to be followed by rebuttals of one minute each from governor clinton and then president bush. gentlemen, good evening. >> good evening, jim. >> the first topic tonight is what separates each of you from the other. mr. perot, what do you believe tonight is the single most important

part of the expansion. 17950, john adams said in his diary, george washington, president washington, has dinner one week on four different occasions with different delegations of indian chiefs. this is 1795 when the united states has already won the war for ohio. washington is not having dinner every other evening or afternoon with indian delegates because he kes having dinner with indians, i can assure you. he does it because it matters. the nation is still young and fradge i will and still frightend by foreign powers and till threatened by still formidable indian power. the washington understands his foreign policy, the foreign policy must involve not only france, britain and spain but lsoian nations and we have forgotten what george washington has done. and this story did not have to unfold this way. if we go back to the middle of the 18th century. a non-indian view of north america looks like this. indian nations. look at all that plus. in the middle of the 18th century, if you were looking at north america from london there was a strong likelihood that the continent that it was

and see. and it was the same answer given by that young fisk graduate, john lewis, when he led that march across the bridge named for hatred. he turned it into a bridge of peace. every time the answer is, we will be there. and hbcus, i need you to be there now. i need you to be there in this issue. i need you to be there for our young people. i need you to be there in this time because we will not be satisfied, we cannot be satisfied until the promise of this country, the promise of liberty, the promise of equality is made real. not just real but felt for everyone in this country. i know in so many areas, in so many ways this is called preaching to the choir. you're already working on this. i know that this is your mission, this is your calling. i want to thank you all. students, faculty, administrators alike, for your contributions to this work. i want to thank you for realizing that the struggles of yesterday give us the strength to move on for the fight of today. i urge you to find a voice for justice in our society. not just in our campuses, but in the world beyond, the world th

to be able to speak for my state and what i believe as a senator, not have to speak for john mccain and what he says or speak for the president-elect and what he says or the house members or goodness knows chris koontz. i don't speak well for them. i may have opinions on one thing or the other but it's become the gauntlet. it's the constant gotcha, trying to divide republicans to say this vk battling this republican. that's a great story. well, you know what? it's actually kind of boring now to say, i'm sorry we don't agree on everything but not all republicans think alike. and that should be okay. >> next question. >> good evening. as a legal immigrant that turned citizen here and a trump supporter i just had a question about his immigration because that has been such a huge drive in his campaign for so long. do you think that will be one of the issues where the senate can meet halfway at b instead of a and c? do you think that's one of the things where it's easy to be negotiating and he will back down like he did with the whole hillary thing and prosecuting? >> yes. i do. and i th

wasn't having any of it. part of it, i think john foster dulles, wonderful cook. . he was -- he was totally unimpressed with john, who took a rather black and white view view of the world. he wasn't having the notion of the summit meeting. the american government was not at all convinced this was the time. the feeling was this might be perceived as a sign of weakness and so it was in time, this was perhaps, the biggest sad moment and that's under stating it. in church hill's professional life after the war that he could not get that summit meeting and then the summit meeting actually takes place after he has left downing street. his last visit to seek ike is in 1959. and he is, of course, churchhill, is, of course, is retired. he visits with ike here and also in ike's farm and they overlook some of the famous battle scenes in the american civil war. that was also an interesting trip. it was his 13th and last to washington, barring one thing, which i'll get to. and it was his first run trip by jet airliner. in 1959 that was still relatively rare, jets had gone into service only the y

state in a trump administration is down to rudolph giuliani and john bolton. we don't have john bolton here tonight, so i'm going to ask you a few questions -- >> john bolton would be a very good choice. >> is there anyone better? >> me, i don't know. >> let me channel what some of these confirmation hearings would be like. let's start with iran. president-elect trump said the iran deal that president obama struck was a disaster. i think he described it as the worst deal possibly he'd ever seen in his life and certainly the worst deal ever constructed on a government basis. he's going to be president on january 20th. this deal is still in place. iran still continues to do what it's doing. what would you do about that? >> first of all, the president has a lot of options because president obama didn't do what he should have done really under the constitution. he should have submitted that to the united states senate. that's a treaty. there's no way of escaping the fact that that's a treaty. if you'd like to go to sleep early tonight, get the federalist papers and read federalist papers 7

25 years, working with president nixon and architects, john oversaw the construction of the original library. ladies and gentlemen, lawrence baird. >> almighty god, how good it is for us to come together as one as we dedicate this historic museum and library which houses a history of the years of the presidency of richard nixon. we invoke your blessing on us. volunteers and leaders of our county and state and country desire to build an america where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil citing flourish. we play for the citizens and leaders of our great republic, for all the men and women who are called to serve the american people. wisdom leaders have the to seek your guidance and the courage to do your will. lord, we know that our country was founded and forged in prayer. we thank you for blessing america with great leaders, with men and women who, like president nixon, in triumph and in tragedy, sought to do what was pleasing in your site. year 1775ack to the when the brave members of the continental congress met in philadelphia. they knew that they didn't carry that burden a

director john britneyan publicly was talking about north korea, said he thought it was something not only the current administration obviously has to be prepared to deal with at any time, but that he thought a new administration needs to get ready now, that both candidates, irrespective of who wins, need to be briefed up, need to be ready, that you could literally have a new president having to deal with north korea from minute one, that they could take advantage. so talk to me about as you look ahead on what you want to prioritize for your successor, what you want to prioritize for your self as you form the next budget, how much does north korea play into your thinking. you've got people right there. >> we have a lot of people right there. first of all, i just want to speak to your last question and say we have not given up on the idea to do more than one thing around the world simultaneously. don't want anyone to think that. you sort of hit it on the head when you said balancing risk. that's essentially what these jobs are about. we have this resource. we have incredibly potent let

you very much. >> you may return to purposeful planning and reconstruction. >> thank you. sir john, you just said in response to christian that you weren't convinced that the stabilization unit had the order of magnitude, scale and authority. >> yes. >> can i invite to you expand upon that and say what might be done to give it the order of magnitude it deserves? >> there was a little conflict pool of money in 2002-'03 which was candidly triflial and no impact whatever. by 2009, when we stopped taking evidence, there was something on an all together larger scale about now i think in terms of a billion pounds or more, but even that doesn't stack up against the costs implied in a major reconstruction task across a whole country, even one smaller than iraq, and iraq was of course a seriously large country for this purpose. does that answer your question? >> your reference to scale and magnitude was essentially about the resources available to those funds rather than necessarily the profile of that work within government or was it both? >> i think it is both former. the thing that would

the nation's leading hospital quality efforts from harvard, johns hopkins, northwestern, yale and more. maintaining our tradition of transparency, we will also have a session on our own rankings and ratings, and our chief of health analysis, ben harter, will outline our plans for the 2017-2018 rankings and beyond. our goal for this conference, health care of tomorrow, remains the same, to create a forum where the best minds among providers, payers and policymakers come together with the shared mission of improving consumer health. i'm proud that it's evolved into a provocative, civil forum that allows a broad range of officials to make progress on solving the key challenges that we all face. there are few subjects we cover at "u.s. news" that are more important. i encourage you to engage in the many formal and informal dialogues among the industry professionals, policymakers and medical experts that we have gathered here in the nation's capital. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, brian. and now, i am so very pleased to introduce dr. craig venter, widely recognized as one

. . >>> education secretary john king recently spoke about education policy and civic engagement at the national press club. he talked about the role u.s. should play for students with civic awareness and interests. this is about an hour. >>> good afternoon and welcome to the national press club. i'm news editor for the americas al jazeera english in washington, d.c. our guest today is john king. i would welcome our radio and c-span audiences. you can follow the action on twitter using the #np can c live. turn off or silence your cell phones. again, if you have any questions for our speaker, you can write them on cards, pass them to the head table. we will try to get through as many as time permits or tweet them to npc live. now is the time to introduce our head table guest. on your right is and my far left, carry airns at the data quality campaign and vice president of the writers association. editor of india america and white house skoerpbd epbt. emily wilkins, education and labor reporter at roll call. amy macintosh, assistant secretary, u.s. department of operation. fed man, educati

form this five-man committee. john adams of massachusetts who's probably in a lot of ways one of the most significant guys in congress those early days. he is really pushing for that creation of the army in 1775. also the navy in the fall of 1775. he's pushing in the spring of 1776 that each of the colonies write its own constitution which is, again, another step towards independence that each colony sort of getting rid of that hold charter that they'd had from the british government, their old constitution, so to speak, in creating a new independence constitution. so he's one of the leaders in a lot of this movement. also on the committee is a man named robert livingston of new york who actually goes back ten years to the meetings held over the stamp taxes. you have a man from connecticut named roger sherman who's going to end up signing not only the declaration of independence, the united states constitution, but also the articles of confederation. there is only two men who can make that claim. so he is on our committee. benjamin franklin from right here in philadelphia, who is

something republicans have used for a long time, they tried franklin roosevelt and john kennedy. it's not labeled. it's our vision of america. we have two different visions of america, vice president is complacent, means we ought to stick with the status quo, things are okay as they are. i don't. i think this is a great country do better, to make our country better, make our lives better. always been a nation which is ambitious for america and that's the kind of america i want. that's the kind of leadership i want to provide. i don't think these labels mean a thing and i would hope that tonight and of course the rest of this campaign we can have our good solid disagreement on issues, nothing to matter with that to stop labeling each other and let's get to the heart of the matter, which is the future of this country. >> andrea mitchell for the vice president. >> mr. vice president, governor, let me return for a moment to the issue of the budget, because so much has already been put off limits in your campaign that most people do not believe that the flexible freeze alone will solve the

as the polls told john kennedy that he was behind. just as they told harry truman he was behind. and just as they told me four years ago that i was behind. but they have never stopped these men, mcgovern and shriver, fighting in their campaign. now think for a minute about our country. what is it that you believe in? do you believe as mr. nixon and his party seem to, that the people are tired, they're no longer interested, they no longer care. do you believe that after four years of broken promises, a man should be reelected president without even campaigning among the people? i ask you now, if you worked for a living, work with your hands or in an office, if you believed everyone who wants to work should have a job, if you want a tax system that is fair to you, if you want a better home for your family, a better school for your children, if you believe all people were created equal and deserve the same equal chance, if you still feel as i do, that we can live together as one people, join me at the voting booth on tuesday. in 1960, john kennedy won the presidency by a handful of vote

glorious issue that god shall judge me. >> at the new york historical society author of john quincy adams militant spirit and columnist robert kagan debates the question, was john quincy adams a realist? they talk about foreign policy views and the legacy of the sixth president. for our complete american history tv schedule go to c-span.org. >> now, a discussion on the refugee crisis and how international organizations are work to go solve the problem. speakers include representatives from the world bank, the world food program, and mastercard. from the center for strategic and international studies in washington, this is about an hour and 15 minutes. >> okay. we're going to get started. i hold the chair here at css. we're having a conversation today about international organizations in the refugee crisis i think many of you aware that we have the highest number of refuse zees and displaced people since world war ii. i think it is 65 million. there have been a number of summits and meetings in the last year. whatever meetings we have had are probably not enough to respond is to the

november 1795, john adams said in his diary," george washington, president washington, has dinner one week on four different occasions with different delegations of indian chiefs." this is 1795, when the united states has already won, if you like, the war for ohio. washington is not having dinner every other evening or afternoon with indian delegates because he likes having dinner with indians. i can assure you of that. he's doing it because it matters. because the nation is still young. it's still fragile. it's still threatened by foreign powers who were not too friendly. britain in the north, spain in the south. and it's still threatened by still formidable indian power. so washington understands that his foreign policy, the foreign policy of the new nation, must involve not only france and britain and spain, but also indian nations. and that's something i think we have forgotten about george washington. and this story did not have to unfold this way. so if we go back to the middle of the 18th century, non-indian view of north america looks like this. again, no indian nations th

it was john rollins was trying to write out the terms as lee and grant talked them through. but he was so nervous that he kept spilling ink and a sort of couldn't get it under control. so parker was the more calm one. parker was the most literal of any of grant's inner circle as well. so this is 1865. it's a story of -- it tells the story of inclusion, right? like i said, this is -- would you agree with me on that? that there is a native man right at the center, right at the heart of this key historic moment. i want to jump a couple of years and look at another famous image from that time. this is a painting by john gast, american progress, 1872. so it's an image of manifest destiny. what do you see? what can you see in this picture? and again, i apologize for the resolution. but what can you see? thomas? [ inaudible ] >> like he had this issue. >> there is this giant angelic woman sort of floating across the landscape, right. she represents columbia, which is kind of the physical manifestation of america prior to uncle sam. all right. so she is floating over the landscape. what is

. three volumes on john adams and two volumes of pamphlets from the revolutionary era. professor wood is working on a book on john adams and thomas jefferson. it won't be long before that is published as well. what professor wood has done is he has taken all kinds of interpretations about the revolution and he has synthesized but also delved into the primary sources and has come up with an interpretation of what the revolution was and almost as important, what that revolution -- how the revolution transformed the american people and made us a unique people that others might look to. and so, that is what he is going to be talking about today and i think you will enjoy it. let's welcome professor gordon wood. [applause] prof. wood: with an introduction like that, i have to reciprocate and tell you of that about what john is doing to historical research. what john and other editors do is long-lasting. we historians, who write books, those books are very ephemeral. they don't last very long. history is a quasi-science. new books supplant the older books. what john is doing will last as lo

you to, on my far left, john w. franklin who is the senior manager of the office of external affairs for the national museum of the african-american, the newly opened museum of african-american.

it. >> while they're coming up john allen was the program manager for the effort to form the first automotive industry cyber threat and vulnerability and information sharing. as mrs. bara mentioned you may have seen again that just yesterday the members released a very important overview of the comprehensive automotive cyber security best practices. on this panel our top executives from general motors and toyota and honda as well as the founder. >>> i'm amazed. and be on this stage. and we're going to have a conversation. how you're going to mature as an industry. and security best practices but it's definitely a time and hopefully it will get something out of it. this isn't just about that it's about you all in the room and how we really protect the ecosystem as one team. many of you know who is on the industry. and it's great to have you. thank you for flying in to be with us. our friendly on the panel. many of you know josh but you may not know that he's now come to d.c. to the dark side with s us. another board member at the end has really helped us develop it and then jeff tha

history i know that's a tall order, i very much will look forward to the witnesses today. i've known john for a long time. i have great respect for him and i look forward to listening to his testimony and the others. >> thank you, senator. i appreciate you bringing up climate change, it's happening. i've been on the farm now since 1978 and things are happening that never ever happened before. some of them are good, a lot of them aren't so good. . the waste is the problem. . we've got to figure out how you can repurpose it and get done. we may be changing co 2. i don't think we want to do that. i think we want to make sure that if we're doing to have something that our kids and grandkids generations from now can deal with. it's got to work. i appreciate the hearing. i think it's a good discussion and i think -- i don't think anybody on this committee and i certainly have the utmost respect for you, mr. chairman, wants us to do something that our kids are going to have to pay for. thank you very very much. >> thank you senator. >> mr. chairman, ready to prosteed to the witness. >> thank you

after that and the death of john marshall when jackson against nominates tawny this time as chief justice. at this point public politics have changed a little bit. the jacksonian forces are ascend ant against the the whigs and tawny is confirmed with results that many of us think are perhaps less than ideal. something similar happens a decade later in the house, when the house of representatives holds john tyler in breach of privilege for protesting against a house resolution that criticized him as well. john tyler was the first vice president to assume the presidency upon the death of his predecessor when william harrison dies. tyler is hated by his own party, he's expelled from his party five months after becoming president in a sort of shocking example of a political falling out. and once again, the way that congress chooses to express its displeasure, the way that it chooses to enforce, if you will, the breach of privilege finding but also other political disagreements with tyler is through pulling on other mechanisms that it has. tyler actually to this day has the worst recor

what it sounded like with john locke. he said, commanding all the workmanship of one wise maker and being furnished with like faculties, showing all one community of nature but cannot be supposed any such subordination among us that they authorize us to destroy one another as if we were made for one another's uses that the inferior ranks of creatures are made for ours. and rousseau put it this way. he said no man has natural , governing over another, might can produce no right, the only foundation left for legitimate ishority in human society agreement. hence the move of the american founders. the declaration of independence. it must arise from the consent of the governed. massachusetts, declared in a resolution in may, 1776 that the only form of government which we wish to see establish is a republic -- see established is a republic, that we could never be willingly subjected to any other he being possessed of infinite rectitude is allowing with infinite power. james wilson of philadelphia after whom we have named our new institute said, supreme power would not deeply justify him w

john f. kennedy. experienced a lot of the things you have experience, so i totally understand. there has not, been any sergeant majors in the marine corps that are female. >> you mean the sergeant major of the marine corps? that is correct. >> you are coming up on 30 years and are retiring. where you ever considered to be that first sergeant major of the marine corps? >> only in my mind. [laughter] >> seemed like a perfect fit. mind, right? it takes a lot more qualifications than i currently have to be the sergeant major of the marine corps. i am working at a one star level. you have to get to that second and third level to get there, and i kind of ran out of time, but thank you for asking. >> seriously, you made her walk that hallway? my question is to both of you. as a former in co, i know there is a handful of finalists and cadets here, and most of my mentors throughout my career have been in ceos and ncos only, so it is difficult and challenging for me to seek mentor ship from officers, but the one thing i have asked officers before and i would like , what isur opinion some advic

. the public opinion polls say they are far behind, just as the polls told john kennedy that he was behind. just as they told me for years behind that i was behind. they have never stopped these men providing in their campaign. think for a minute about our country. what do you believe in? n andu believe as mr. nixo his party seem to, that the people are tired they no longer care? do you believe after four years of broken promises a man should be reelected president without even campaigning among the people? i ask you now, if you work for a living, work with your hands or in an office, do you believe that everyone who wants to work should have a job? do you want a tax system that is fair to you? do you want a better home or your family, a better school for your children? do you believe that all people are created equal and deserve the same equal chance? if you still feel as i do that we can live together as one people, join me at the voting .ooth on tuesday in 1960, john kennedy won the presidency by handful of votes over president-elect's in. in 1968, i lost by a handful of votes to

david and ken burns and john meacham and evan thomas and lots of other people, writing books and movies and traveling the world, learning all kinds of wonderful things and he has also written and of washburn,ary the united states minister to mence, which fascinated because that is one of my approaches to history to read books like that. that is one way of writing and reading and producing history. grace guggenheim has taken another path where she has produced so many wonderful ,istorical documentaries including the academy award-winning johnstown flood. ,hey go on and on and on theaters, tv museums, presidential libraries. she has been the creator of so much visual information that we can absorb and have access to our history in a way that would not be true if she had not been doing the work she has been doing these many years. her most recent work is a treatment designed to cure cancer where she was the producer, director, and narrator. president of the productions, where she has been overseeing the preservation of her father's film legacy. house on nantucket -- martha's vineyar

john parks, commanding the federal ninth corps, does lunch a very =-- launch a very intrepid assault. it is not really of much significance as far as and in the campaign. april 2, decisive of 1855. fishhookrs along the of the federal lines. welch, the sixth corps. it is featured here. most accounts -- you see it in almost every theater. they are hunkered down. ats is the sixth corps fredericksburg. at fredericksburg, at the second battle of fredericksburg, the establishesreally an identity of doing the impossible of succeeding where others have failed of carrying out a series of impressively designed, executed rental assaults, including one we walk into tomorrow of the same position a. slides, next series of we will not be talking a lot about them, the context, the impact. i want to focus on the tactics to understand how the sitxth corps developed a way to bash the enemy with bayonet charges. no context here given. tomorrow morning, we will have an incredible walking tour of the second fredericksburg battlefield but note how different this is from the picket charge. going in then pre

both john adams and thomas jefferson. you know, andrew jackson is an amazing case. because there's a guy who functioned as president for, you know, eight years with bullets in his body that could never be removed. you know, failing eyesight. somebody who in theory, i mean, should never have been able to do the job. but he was. is and there are people who speculated that that is really what accounts for jackson's hair-trigger temper. he was an angry guy. but we now know he was in terrible pain every single day of his presidency. but, you know, that's a short list of some of our healthiest presidents. >> barack obama? >> you know, it's very interesting to me. my impression -- and, again, i'm just a librarian. i'm not a historian. but my impression is that in 2008, john mccain, a much older man and much more fragile, at least on paper than barack obama, more forth coming about the state of his health and his health history than the much younger and presumably much healthier barack obama. so i think that's interesting. >> the 25th amendment you had talked about, it sounded effectively wh

what i said was wrong. our subject is was john quincy adams a realist? we are talking about his worldview. in my book i say not only did john quincy adams have a worldview, but he probably was to have astatesman coherent view, which brought together a sense of domestic policy and foreign policy. i should give a brief shadow because there was a very good about atoms that came off while i was writing my book. i'm asleep, though not wholly agree with what he says. if i had to summarize what my sense of his world you was, it would be something like extent that expansion at home and restraint abroad. you try to think of a modern analogy to that, it is something that those chinese used to use and the last no longer do. that is the sense that here was this immense continental power with huge latent strength, and all of the work out internal dynamics and contradictions, it was essential to have a tranquil world abroad. summarizest briefly his views. the first great document that lays out the strategy of american policy was george washington's farewell address. and washington cautioned a

informal parkways. john charles olmstead, whom we have talk about previously as the stepson of frederick law olmsted sr., becomes a member of the firm in the late 1880s, writes an important article on parkways called "classes of parkways" in "landscape architecture" magazine in 1913. he characterizes parkways at this time. it is an interesting article because it's going to classify things in a way that people start to think about parkways differently. he describes them as formal and informal. and describes the informal parkway as being superior for a number of reasons summarized here. the first is that it was curval linear, aligned with natural features and adjusted to move along river channels, top topigraphical differences and boundary differences which may not be straight as well. because they were laid out to fit the topography, they would be graded more easily than straight alignments. this would cut down on their development costs. they also did less damage to the adjacent landscape so they didn't have to grade so much around the road bed. he advocates for informal parkwa
