african-americans came to chicago as parts of one of the largest human migrations of the twenty. centry they were leaving the segregated and racist south in search of a new life in what many hoped would be a promised land and it was out of this experience that was born the first american muslim movements and it was known as a nation of islam. in the one nine hundred thirty s. a radical idea began to spread through the cities of america the idea that white people were irredeemably evil form the coolness stone of the nation of islam used the ology combined islam and black nationalism the nation's message appeal to african-americans who'd fled the bigotry of the south by the one nine hundred fifty s. the nation had around one hundred thousand members led by in large. part . in. the wood gave the nation some credibility were high profile members including the boxer caches clay who took the name. and the radical charismatic activist malcolm x. in the present situation don't know the political power. that they can put the man in the white house so they can take the man out of the white

[booing] vice president pence: most amazingly of all, she keeps saying that a $1000 bonus for working americans is nothing more than crumbs. [booing] vice president pence: let me remind all of you, i come from the joseph a. bank wing of the west wing, of the white house. seriously, folks, when our kids were little, we had a term for another $1000 in our paycheck at the end of the year. christmas.

americans get scared. and that's exactly what the soviets hoped for, except americans then spend money on nuclear weapons when they get scared and the soviets couldn't compete. so in 1961, khrushchev believes that since -- because he's very well-aware of the missile gap crisis, he believes that this will have a restraining effect on the use of american power, and perhaps will lead to an agreement in central europe. kennedy, because he believes that he's always dealing with a rational actor, wants to change the incentive structure for khrushchev. and what he does is he says once the satellites provide american -- the u.s. government with absolute certainty that the soviets are way behind in the missile competition, he decides to share that with the soviets. not directly by giving him a corona document, but by having a public statement, by killpatrick, the under-secretary of defense. the u.s. government does that thinking that if the soviets know that they're behind, they will stop this risk-taking. they wil

143 americans in 2015, and 105 americans in 2010. 2016 was the deadliest year. and 2017 it is estimated to be even deadlier. opioids, prescription drugs, heroin, synthetic forms of heroin are increasingly the reason why. opioids were the reason for over two-thirds of overdose deaths than is five times higher than in 1999. in the past 17 years, we have seen a five-fold increase in these overdose deaths. it's a national epidemic. it started with prescription drugs. overprescribing of prescription drugs, pain pills, the pill mills that we saw in southern ohio and around our state. this exploded 20 years ago. next, the heroin deaths. heroin moved in and spiked as people moved to less expensive and more accessible alternatives than prescription drugs. and now, i hate to tell you, there's a new dairng and -- danger and threat and it is deadlier than ever, it is the synthetic opioids, fentanyl, car carfentanil and the results have been deadly. it is a crisis that does not discriminate. opioid addiction affects everybody. in ohio drug addictions and acts to support it h

you are honoring a true american patriot. and bob, all the memories that come to the surface being here with you and elizabeth, two senators i served with. i am blessed for the opportunities we have had to spend time with the both of you on so many occasions, especially when you invited us to our -- your wedding reception, that was a great day. i have learned much from working with senator bob dole, majority leader bob dole, republican bob dole beginning when i was a young member of the senate a while ago. beyond the fact that bob dole is the longest-serving republican leader of the senate we can say , that he is a senate legend. the best leaders i have known in my 43 years in the senate have shown three special qualities. the senate'sod unique constitutional role in the system. the second trait is the ability to bring people together, to forge agreements even when based on compromises. as -- little of great consequence is accomplished by any legislator alone, high achievement is a joint effort, especially with leadership lik

they forced an american -- forced a government shutdown on the american people because they refused to work with them. voted for theat historic tax cut legislation. nancy pelosi thinks that these are --000, $3000 bonuses we will remember in november. this november, let's send them home. it's not going to be easy. we know that the party that holds the white house usually loses in the midterm. when i look at how the democrats behaved during the state of the union, it is clear we have to keep our majority in congress. we at the rnc are ready, our in 22ent game has staff states across the country. they have knocked on 4 million doors and made 8 million phone calls. they have held 700 republican leadership initiative trainings for 7000 fellows. we only trained 5000 fellows so we are ahead of schedule. it has allowed the data team to i'md a warehouse of 300 -- going to give you a visual. if you were to store that on a dvd you would need over 63,000 dvds. and communication department has played a huge role in the outreach to voters. on tuesday our digital -- displaying the names of donors und

as the president said, this is our new american moment. this is our new american moment. and i agree. the american economy is back on the right track. it's going to take a lot of hard work for us to stay on the right track. some of that work involves building our country's infrastructure, america's roads, bridges, dams, highways, and ports. they are critical to our nation's success. republicans know it. democrats know it. the american society of civil engineers gives america's infrastructure a poor grade. one out of every five miles of highway pavement is in bad condition. as chairman of the environment and public works committee, i'm committed to improving this situation by working with the president and with members of both parties. we need a fix, and we need to fix a lot of our aging infrastructure. to do that, we need a robust, fiscally responsible infrastructure plan that makes it easier to start and to finish these projects more quickly. now, i was chairman of the transportation committee in the wyoming state senate. i saw how we could make projects less costly and

universal background check almost universally supported by the american people. in that same poll 83% of the american people indicated support for a mandatory waiting time for gun purchases. you don't want someone who is angry or upset that are running into a gun store buying a gun and going out using it. 75% want the congress to address the issue of gun violence and start taking action. 67% of the people polled supported nationwide band on the sale of assault weapons. they believe, and i believe that assault weapons are designed as a military weapon to kill human beings. that is what those weapons are designed to do. i believe and have believed in the majority of the american people believe that we should and the sale and distribution of those weapons. that was a poll. a cnn poll more recently just a few days ago on february 25, 70% of the american people want stricter gun laws. this is the highest number cnn has registered since the brady bill was passed in 1993. 87% support laws taken but convicted felons from owning guns. 71% support banning under 21. 63% on

, that translates to one in five americans, 31 million americans with physical disabilities, and i've heard some of their comments as an older woman with disabilities, i feel invisible. or i'm not living, i'm just existing. in this bill, the notice and cure framework included in this bill would fundamentally change the structure of the a.d.a.'s public accommodation title and remove any reasons for business to comply proactively with the law. the same as the voting rights act of 1965 that we now suffer because we gutted section 4 and section 5 and we have voter suppression and people are not having their civil rights in terms of voting. you touch this in a way, you undermine the very existence of people living with disabilities. i am outraged, even though i am empathetic, but if it is a problem of lawyers and state bars -- then state bars can regulate them, state courts can regulate them. you can punish and sanction lawyers who do not have the proper protocols. mr. chairman, this is wrong-headed. i ask my colleagues to stand for civil rights for americans with disabilities. this is not

it was african-americans bringing a unique vision to the possibility of what american democracy might look like. vernon jordan:howard, it was the west point of the civil rights movement. and the lawyers got that commitment to use this law, for the benefit of black people, and the ultimate benefit of white people. narrator :but training a group of qualified african-american lawyers was not enough. in a hostile legal environment houston needed a plan - a strategy. juan williams: houston had started to work with the naacp to look at exactly what was the best strategic approach to blowing apart, destroying the segregation structure in the country. narrat or:the most significant obstacle in houston's way was the 1896 plessy vs ferguson supreme court decision which sanctioned the separation of african-americans on trains as long as they were provided equal accommodations. the plessy doctrine of "separate but equal" quickly spread throughout southern life in direct violation of the 14th amendment to the constitution. roger wilkins: until you got rid of that interpretation that the constituti

, they stole real american i'd tdentities an they made other americans believe that they were americans because they talked and looked like americans. and it's a whole new ball game, and not only does it undermine our democracy, which is the whole goal of russian actor measures, but it undermines our social media platforms. marine americans over this last year must wonder what i'm consuming on facebook, twitter, youtube, is this really what i think this is? is this a real person? is that a real american behind this and this hurts our american democracy and our way of life in a way we have not seen before. the question going forward is what is our government going to do about it. i know i have been researching this for four years, i've been talking about it for two and a half or three and at lots of public events and i haven't heard our government talk about what we're going to do to preve prevent this in 2018. >> clint, this is no less creepy, especially to people of a certain age, of the idea that foreign nationals were in and around our country, operating as spies back in the era of w

who were contacted by these russians posing as americans, that any of the americans were unwitting, that does not rule down the road that they could find others who may have been involved in some fashion. >> exactly. rosenstein said at this point there's no evidence anyone wittingly participated, so we have to listen to that, which is a clue there may be other people there investigating and that could be the next step. it also shows the huge sophistication of this operation. there were millions of dollars in funding and lots of people who traveled to america, adopted false personas, and misled americans according to the indictment we have before us now. that's why the people named who are americans were not witting. they thought they were dealing with americans who shared their political views when, in fact, it wasn't. as was said by rosenstein, the original intent was to sow discord and mislead the public and to just interfere with the election in general, and at some point in time they switched to hurting hillary clinton and helping donald trump. so that was the goal ultimately of

jordan and like chad with bones in ryan coogler who are all black americans african-americans because extensively about how they feel like you know african-americans black americans are laws if they didn't know where that's what you're going to last try you know they've talked so much about you know we were lost that we need to reconnect and we need to go back and i know that the film was dumped in the film with this kind of respect of course that there are new perspectives but this bias perspective of blacks americans and so i asked and needed that this is what i wanted to go to you know you should because this is a very specific african arnold versus african-american tension in the film going to what did you make of what as a representation of a various african countries. i think it's a valiant effort number one because many cultures that we boast of them the african continent and to be able to match them up and put them together in one setting and one movie and create this melting pot of a city i think was a triumph and their investment big shout out to the costume designers for th

nixon, who was an ideal american president in the soviet imagination. everything is run through kissinger. everything is secretive. everything is decided through back channel. . the u.s. secretary of state doesn't even know about the back channel. perfect. perfectly how you can run business in the soviet imagination. so that luck couldn't last. brezhnev ran out of luck even before he had a stroke or whatever he had. he met ford, who we never mentioned. [laughter] ford politely listens to and they have no imagine he or -- imagination or power to do anything. healthhnev's own deteriorated very rapidly. interviewed i soviet participants who knew him, brose reacted very quickly to opportunities. he was a very astute politician in a domestic setting and foreign pesek -- foreign setting. if he saw that it was something to do with germany, he would go there as long as success is almost assured. in that way, he was absolutely opposite to khrushchev. he was not a risk taker. he was more close to stalin. stalin like to do things when everything was prepared and a

we finally have an american president who is unapologetic about being american. what can be more unifying than that. you talk about your family background with your wife and stepson. let's talk less about amnesty and talk more about assimilation. we have had a dis-united states of shame on america. david: it's denigrating to immigrants around the world. everybody in the world knows deep down inside ways right and what is wrong. a lot of people have given themselves over to the bad side. but most of people want to do what's right. those are the people we want here. not the mob leaders and others that cause mischief when they are here. >> that's the problem with the chaos in our immigration system. what are our priorities? every some external nation has a right, and we have a constitutional imperative to decide who gets in, who stays and who should go. dave -- david: michelle malkin, thank you. be sure to answer our poll question, do you believe the dems will pay a high price for trying to with hold evidence of corruption? watch as two paragliders team up to perfor

but the say are baffled by how americans do their foreign policy. and not only americans. canada denied american policy whatsoever. >> i think we can go to the next questio question. >> my question is closely related. i found it very interesting, thought provoking of the comparison vlad made between what he said was brezhnev's illusion or delusion about a possibility of the u.s./soviet cooperative world order and then you compare it to putin's illusion or delusion in the beginning of first putin's administration. well i never be thought about it this way but this is really interesting because maybe putin also sincerely believed that a truly cooperate i oive order wa possible, world order. now, can i push you just a little bit more to where that illusion or delusion starts to dissipate and why and try to make the same comparison between brezhnev and putin? this is not a question about personalities, this is a question about their vision of how world order might work, that it would be cooperative and why it does not work this way. is there any similarity? >> well, we all kno

that is what theeo american peoe are saying in poll after poll after poll. just recently a january 20 cbs news poll found that nearly nine out of ten americans, 87%, favor allowing young immigrants who entered the united states illegally as children to remain in the united states. 87% in iowa, in vermont, and in every state in this country. strong support for legal status for the dreamers and a path towards citizenship. on january 11, a quinnipiac poll found that 86% of american voters, including 76% of republicans, say that they wanta the dreamers to remain in this country. on that were fifth in a mammoth fall when asked about dreamer status, nearly three out of four americans support allowing these young people to automatically become u.s. citizens, as long as they don't have a criminal record. in other words, madam president, the votes that are going to be cast hopefully today, maybe tomorrow, are not profiled encourage. they are not members of the senate come up against all of the odds say i will vote for what is right is what the overwhelming majority o

but the american people want to be shared at the borders are secured. they want to b be shared the policies embedded in the immigration system don't create another wave of illegal citizens. they also want these archaic diversity lottery which is to work in its original intent and is nothing but a loophole for terrorists today to be ended. i i want to say one other thing. i think there's too much talk about this bill cutting immigration. that is not the intent. the intentt is long-term we've got a bill called the race act that would move us to a merit-based system like canada and australia. that's not included inth the secure and succeed act. what is included here is a first step toward a long-term solution now told in our legal immigration side but it sets us up to then do with the temporary work visas of impulsively the illegal population. i believe, madam president, as i know you do it's time for this body as we say so many times to put ourselves interests, our partisan interests aside and do what we now have hard evidence that tells us what the ameri

and are those people going to turn out to be russians or americans? and that brings me to my big question here, that brings me to the reason i cancelled my day off today in the middle of my day off today and veered off the highway and drove to the studio instead of taking susan away for a nice weekend like i was planning. sorry, honey. here is my question and why i'm here tonight, why bring charges like this against a bunch of russian people who, frankly, you're not going to get into a courtroom? why do that? and why do it now? legally, if in the future you're going to charge other people, you're maybe going to charge americans with being part of this operation as a criminal conspiracy, does it help the prosecutor to have initially charged the conspiracy as a crime, to be laying down a law that there was a crime here in the first place. if you're going to charge other people with conspiring in a crime later, does it help to have charged this as a crime in the first place? that is actually a question i think we can get answered here tonight and that's

americans. peters include richard carmichael, the director of the civil war institute in gettysburg. , author of the untold civil war. jane schultz, author of women on the front. and the author of the divided family in civil war america. at 8:00 on lectures in history, from the georgetown university law center, gets bigger thomas -- guest speaker thomas west talks about his book. elections, consent, virtue is needed in more than any other form of government. the people themselves pick the rules. >> sunday at 4:00 on railamerica.

any visitors from around the world say yeah, this is american indian land, american indian place and we're coming to american indian territory. so i know that this is the energy of san francisco. it can be done and i know it will be done. thank you very much for your consideration. i look forward to a time when that statue is removed and when we did the indigenous rights, norman yee suggest add mutual healing so we now are planning to have the italian-american community with the american indian community to come together here in city hall and have a ceremony healing each other. because our history is gone san now we're talking about coming together today to make san francisco stronger. thank you. >> do other members wish to comment on this item? if so, please come forward. seeing and hearing none, we'll close public comment. commissioners, comments? questions? commissioner matsuda? >> sure. just have one -- maybe one last question. i refered to this during our disclosures about the person who gave us a copy of this report from the human rights commission entitled concerns -- issues o

the americans they paid. the other thing i think we need to not overlook in this indictment is the extent to wit russians saw the to the help bernie sanders and jill stein and to suppress the vote. so it wasn't just about hillary versus trump. it was also about you know, anybody but hillary or stay home and don't vote. >> that is a great point. this was a -- if there was a target of it, it was an anti-hillary operation they were running. that could be jill stein, bernie sanders, donald trump, that could be suppressing voters of color which was a clear objective. julia? >> the other thing i wanted to say, there's no chance in hell essentially that any of these 13 russians are going to see justice in the u.s. the u.s. and russia don't have an extradition treaty. there's no way we're going to see these people here, trais face trial here. this is a shot across the bow to the trump administration. no collusion, no collusion. we keep hearing this from the white house. and saying, all of this is a witch hunt, this i

the notion that americans don't care about russian interference, the notion that an american jury can't be presented we have had of russian meddling and deliver indictments is false. donald trump, i would be surprised and it would be affordable for him to continue to suggest that this is a hoax thinking that people don't understand exactly what the russians were capable of doing when it comes to our democracy. the other piece is a little inside the justice and intelligence community. it's been under attack from donald trump almost since the day he antoine elections in november. this source said to me, this is bob mueller sending a clear and loud message to the white house that bob mueller is ending the debate on behalf of the intelligence community and the american justice department, on behalf of the fbi about whether or not russia meddled. russia meddled, full stop. >> in the public's fear, this now has to go through a series of filters. we are the first ring of that. by tonight, by tomorrow, what will it look like? and why do you think today? >> listen, i think with every new wrinkle

will have an easy time getting into the american courtroom ever. how do you think russia will respond to this? >> well, yeah, it's going to be hard to get them to have putin send them to america but i think this is a pretty big effect for a couple reasons, number one, they are not going to be sent by the russian government but if they show up in london, if they are on the french riviera, many they are anywhere they want to go where we have closer ties with the countries, they will have real problems. that's a big deterrent. their lives changed as a result. number two who whin my opinion this document does is criminalizes this behavior in terms of interaction in our elections, right, with bots, with buying ads, all these things am biasobiguous. i think that will detour russia from doing this in the future. >> there aren't people charged to be direct employees or at least it's not clear there is an agency charged and two other organizations that are funding for this agency and people charged both that oligarch that runs that agency and people that ap

african-american in tennessee. and he was right, there was no prohibition. and he made his case by the testimony of the minister who married them. the minister said he thought that isaac bankston was a man of color. the county clerk who issued the marriage license says he thought isaac banksston was a man of color. personal men had reasons why they would want to argue this, because it was against the law for a minister interracial couple, and it was illegal for a county clerk to issue a marriage license for an interracial couple. but maybe they really thought he was a man of color. bankstonne is, isaac won his case in one day, without much fanfare. again, a wonderful story. lots of things we can learn about these laws, about southern norms, and the story itself is interesting and also informative to readers. but it goes on. the next part of the story involves notions of southern honor. students of southern history learn that in the south, southern men had a responsibility to defend the name, the family name. the hi

of american life. from schools and churches to concerts, nightclubs, and movie theaters, in homes and in the workplace. after each of these tragedies we say yu enough is enough yet time and again congress fails to take action and the discussion fades until this deadly cycle once again repeats itself. but, mr. president, we cannot allow this vicious cycle to continue. like many americans, i've been inspired and touched by the bravery of the students of stoneman douglas and by their determination to create from this tragedy a legacy of positive change. they are looking to us to help ensure they are the last students who suffer through a mass shooting. they will hold us accountable as they should. i've been inspired by students like sam who said he doesn't feel safe in his own country. and powerfully asked that the white house, quote, how did we not stop this after columbine, after sandy hook? and emma who has been calling out elected officials for the excuses they make for putting the priorities of the g
