poet in american history. phyllis wheatly had been enslaved the west coast of afri africa probably in senegal and brought to the new world in the 1750s. as a young girl maybe about 8 years old. she eventually was sold to a family by the name of wheatley in massachusetts. and the daughter in the family taught her to read and write. and she had a real natural talent for writing verse. and, of course, at the time this was an extraordinary development. so much so that there were those that she began publishing pieces in the newspaper and they began to be circulated and was actually a trial held in boston where people like john hancock and other significant figures in the community were brought together to basically put her on trial, ask her questions. broug together to basically put her on trial, ask her questions, to try to determine if it was possible that this african-american woman could have written poetry like this. of course she passed. and they actually wrote a testimonial saying they believed she, in fact

what should every american know about the, american revolution? >> i can answer that in a minute actually. i will tell you one of the -- i would say one of the most importantt messages that we're trying to convey in the museum is that the american revolution and the revolutionary war are notha the same thing. we oftenti use "the revolution"s a kind of shorthand for the revolutionaryy war. we'll say "the revolution was an eight-year war"r" or something like this. this was a matter of actual debate among the founding fathers, about what do we mean about the american revolution. there's wonderful letters back and forth over the years as they discuss, what did we mean by the revolution. john adams had a response i let think he wrote in 1818 where he claimed the american revolution happened before the war. he said this was a kind of change in the morals and attitudes of the americans that kind of prepared themm to where they were an independent people and the war was just confirming a transformation that had already taken place. i would say if we have

he proved that an american general can manage american officers and british commanders. his low-key ability to inspire. his sheer likability overcoming insurmountable allied challenges. the british admiral wrote, "from the very beginning eisenhower said anglo american unity and friendship as a primary purpose. the staffs work closely integrated. it was not long before the british and americans ceased to look at each other like warring tomcats and came to discover that nationals of both countries had brains, ideas, and drive." thus it is fitting that we now listen to general eisenhower's major tribute to the anglo-american victory given that the hall in london on june 12, 1945. i quote the general, "no one could alone have brought about this result. had i possessed the military skill of a marble, the wisdom of solomon, the understanding of lincoln, i would been helpless without the loyalty, the vision, the generosity of thousands of british and americans. some of them were my companions in my command. many were enlisted men and junior officers that carried the fears brunt

what americans or at. intelligence agencies mean by interfering in the american elections essentially publicizing allegedly publicizing truthful information about hillary clinton isn't american public can tie told to that information to make an informed decision about who they want to lead the country well you know we have the democratic system here i think is great for many reasons but one of it is one of the reasons is that there is competition and so the republican party also has incentives to find out information about hillary clinton to run a campaign on the issues that they think are important to point out the weaknesses of clinton to point out the strengths of trump so i don't think it's the right or responsibility of a foreign power to intervene it's an american election not a russian election and let us. point out that the our russian interference was never proven there was never any soul attacks that were provided by the intelligence agencies they just mentioned our duty as a major part of that p

thanks to the president's leadership, last month, american companies were able to ship american beef to china for the first time in over 13 years. the president's also opened up a new economic dialogue, he asked me to lead with the nation of japan, to strengthen our trade relationship with our valued ally. in the coming weeks, president trump and our nation will renegotiate the north american free trade agreement with canada and mexico. and under this president's leadership, we will modernize nafta for the 21st century so it is a win-win-win for all of our trading partners in north america.

it is un-american. just the idea that a draft dodger, somebody who watched his his commitment to serve his country, who also then bragged about it and who said his vietnam was avoiding stds in the 1970's and 1980's, then to turn around and tell these young men and women -- they are willing to sacrifice -- that they are no longer accepted. it is disgusting, hypocritical, and like the speaker and leaders said, it is outright cowardice. this president is acting like a coward. unlike the men and women who are trying to serve who are not. please join us. call your senators and members of congress and demand we protect our 15,000 veterans and military personnel and reverse this really dumb decision. thank you.

and he was celebrated by americans. this tavern sign hung in front of the tavern kept by israel putnam who would be famous in the revolutionary war in the battle of bunker hill. so the second gallery we title the voice of victory. so after the british victory in the seven years war with this vastly expanded empire, particularly in north america, britain faces this challenge. because of course everyone's excited about having this larger empire. but there are now tens of thousands of new subjects that look to king george iii, of course, desiring him to act as their sovereign or in the case of people who do not recognize him as a sovereign like native-americans, at least seeing him as a person who they can ask for assistance with their problems. and so you have tens of thousands of native-americans. you have more than 70,000 french catholic and some former spanish colonists who now britain claims as its subjects. in addition, you've got 2 1/2 million british colonists, people like george washington, people like jechgman fr

and native american. we won those votes by overwhelming numbers, and we ended up, i believe, getting almost twice as many votes as clinton and trump combined, among young people. and what that means -- what that means -- and please do not forget this -- is that our ideas and our progressive vision, we are the future of this country. audience: bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! sen. bernie sanders: no. audience: bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! bernie! sen. bernie sanders: it's not "bernie." it is you! we are in this together, and always have been and always will be. together, during our campaign, we organized some of the largest rallies s in the campaign, speaking to over 1.4 million people. in other words -- in other words, we have the enthusiasm. we have the momentum. and as i look around this theater tonight, i can see we have the energy to transform america. and this is what else we have accomplished. after the campaign, we helped write the most progressive political platform of f

a lot of welcome to worlds apart the russians have long taken americans more seriously than the americans took that is until the russia gave candela obsession with their logic the election hacking and been seeing policy paralysis have dismayed many in moscow showing washington in a way revolution before as lacking in confidence and they able to pull itself together how accurate is this impression to discuss that i'm now joined by matthew craning a senior fellow at the atlantic council mr craning it's great to have you on the show thank you very much for joining us thank you for having me on it's a pleasure to be here while it may be a pleasure for you to be here but i assure that you're not going to fall under suspicion of colluding with the adversary because of appearing on our t.v. no i'm not worried about that i think it's important for americans and russians to have a dialogue to important countries and we need to do a better job of understanding each other i absolutely agree with you but do you know that if you're if you read the publicly available parts of the u.s. intelligence repo

stories that i found circulating in american culture in the war on terror after 9/11 we captured an american john walker lens and he had all of these front cover news stories and kept getting referred to as brainwashed, serious experts and newspapers were writing about him as having been brainwashed. my first reaction was can people be using this science fiction term to be talking about a real person. and then i kept wondering about what sort of work that story was doing or that kind of metaphor of brainwashing and describing the decision to be against america in this moment as unthinkable, as literally something a thinking person could unfathomably do. the manchurian candidate got made and the vision of the body snatchers got made, galactica, the homeland show that having a strong resemblance to the john walker lindh stories. so, in my book what i am trying to do is think about that story and why we want to tell it as a literary historian i am trained to think about why we need certain stories at certain moments and why they are popular in certain areas of history so what i decided to do is

the americans don't like this. but the french have already agreed separately with the chinese to do this. the vietnamese nationalists feel betrayed but the deal is done and the so-called geneva accords are publicized but nobody has ever signed them. the people can relocate. and a new government is set up in south vietnam. it is technically the old french union government with a new prime minister. the question in the fall of 1954 is what are the americans going to do? vis-a-vis vietnam and southeast asia. well one of the things is we set up under dulles, looking to create containment against the mao in china. a decision was made to support the south vietnamese government. this was affirmed by the letter of president eisenhower in october 23, 1954. my father wrote the letter. there is a paragraph in here which i want to submit to you and to all americans absolutely fundamental in explaining the morality and the efficacy of our effort in south vietnam which paragraph has been overlooked as far as i can tell by every

to the korean and american into the korean and american of them will veterans of that war, great people, we are eternally in grateful for your service and for your sacrifice. would more more than six decades and after our partnership was forged in the fires of war, the alliance between the united states and south korea is a cornerstone of peace and security in a very, very very security in a very, very dangerous part of the world. the link between our countries, cemented in battle, is now also download tied together by a culture, commerce and common values. phenomenon together we are you read facing the threat of the reckless and brutal regime in north korea, the nuclear and ballistic missile programs of that regime require a determined response. bob the north korean north the north korean dictatorship has no regard for you dictatorship has no regard for and the safety and security of its people or its neighbors and and has no respect for human life. and that's been proven over and over again. millions of north korea's own youmillions of north korea's own citizens have suffered and as a

last question, american media, very quickly. president trump will select the next journalists. >> thank you. a two-part question if i may. will you definitively say that russia interfered in the 2016 election? president trump: i think it was russia and it could have been other people in other countries, a lot of people could have interfered. i think it could very well have been russia but it well could have been other countries. i will not be specific. i think a lot of people have interfered and it has been happening for a long time, for many, many years. the thing i have to mention is that barack obama, when he was president, found out about this, in terms of if it were russia. he found out about it in august. the election was in november. that is a lot of time and he did nothing about it. why did he do nothing about it? he was told it was russia by the cia, as i understand, it was well reported, and he did nothing about it. they say he choked. i do not think he choked, i think he thought hillary clinton would win the election

with half a million american troops in south vietnam had become almost a american colony. north vietnam was battered. the united states had been heavily arming around ho chi minh trail in the capital. they had been hurt by this. iit had slowed their ability to mount offensives. hue was kind of an oasis in that it was the traditional capital. it is a huge fortress that forms the city. the emperors palace. the old site of the emperors reign. and so the city itself was a cultural, intellectual, religious center for vietnam. and it had been bypassed by the war. there had not been any real fighting in the city other than when the saigon regime cracked down on buddhist protests a few years earlier, the city had been fairly quiet. brian: how close to the border is hue. mark: hue is in the center. if you look at the city, it is kind of like someone had a belt around its waste and tightened it. hue sits right and that very narrow center. at the time when it was divided, it was near the northern part. my guess would be it was maybe 100 or 150 miles away from the demilitarized zone.

just those tax breaks for the richest 400 americans would have paid for 700,000 americans to have medicaid, basic healthcare insurance and that's enough to cover the state of arkansas and west virginia, nevada, left allr put together and then we saw that house bill come over to the senate and the senate set up a group of secret 13. is there anything more opposite of we the people in the secret 13 senators meeting in the halls of this building particularly choosing a room that the press wasn't allowed onto because they didn't want to be seen entering the room or leaving the room. that's how secretive it was. that's how embarrassed they were about the possibility of having the american people see what they were crafting. they came forward with the senate version of the bill. the house version, the president of the united states of america called meeting. he called it heartless. but the senate vision didn't end up much different than the house version. the senate version that would proceed to throw more than 20 million people off of healthcare as well. the senate version that through maybe th

the problem is americans can afford premiums and the americans who cannot afford premiums will not be able to afford health savings accounts. there, the changes on opiate as a measly $45 billion to calm back the opiate epidemic while slashing 770 billion the medicaid funding which is how most of you. epidemic is funded. it's an insult to families that have suffered a loss of a loved one who died of an overdose. 45 billion is a drop in the bucket as to what it will take to combat opiate abuse in this country. adding $45 billion in opiate funding is about buying a republicans vote. the bottom line is this, the core of this bill is just as rotten as it was before. this bill, like the old one means out-of-pocket and deductible costs will soar. this bill, like the old one is a huge blow to families with loved ones in nursing homes rely on medicaid to parents whose kids are alive because of medicaid. this bill, like the old one means millions of americans will lose coverage. the bill was me when it passed the house, it's me when it was introduced in the senate, and it is still mean today. r

what we should do is take this critical matter that affects every american and every american's health care, send it to a committee, the help committee chaired by senator lamar alexander, republican of tennessee, ranking member patty murray, who is the senator from washington, the finance committee, senator hatch of utah, republican, senator wyden, of oregon, democrat. they need to sit down and look at these bills carefully. let's not make a mistake at the expense of the people who sent us here. let's stand up for sound, thoughtful judgment. let's stand up for a senate that works, as john mccain challenged us. is that what the american people wish? i think it is. at the heart of all of it. and i think john mccain really set a standard that we ought to live up to. let us stop this waste of time over a debate, over a bill that cannot even be printed. let's take this to the regular order. let's do it the right way to the credit of the senate and to the credit of our country. we took an oath each and every one of us to swear to uphold the constitution, and that constitution, that document

the executive branch cannot spy on congress, and they cannot spy on the american people. pete: but they are. sharyl: coverage of candidate and president donald trump has pumped up deep party divides when it comes to attitudes about the news media. nearly 90% of democrats say news media criticism serves to keep leaders in line. but less than half of republicans say the same. katerina matsa: that was one of the widest gaps that we saw between republicans and democrats. sharyl: how did you first hear that you were getting sort of this resurgence with the chuck norris facts? chuck norris: about 11 years ago, a college kid from brown university sent me three chuck norris facts. and i'm reading them and the first one was, "they wanted to put chuck norris on mt. rushmore, but the granite wasn't tough enough for his beard."

this was a historic day for american diplomacy. the serbs and the croats of the largely bosnian government committed themselves to a lasting peace. this scene would not have been possible without the united states leading the europe sens n a piece offensive that europe was not able to pull off on its own. >> seize had this chance and make it work. you can do nothing to erase the past. but you can do everything to build a a future. >> this was a major breakthrough for clinton in terms of foreign policy. it was clear that he had begun to see himself not just as a domestic figure, but as a world figure. >>> the feeling grew pretty quickly that an era of bipartisanship was through and finished. the sense among republicans is that it's political trench warfare. they are completely dedicated hour by hour, day by day to trying to ensure that bill clinton doesn't get a second term. >> this year, the republicans that control congress is sending a budget to the president's desk like nothing we have seen for decades. >> house republicans emer

it is an american issue. it is about the concern of so many americans that improper voting has taken place and canceling out the votes of lawful american citizens. that is why president theodore roosevelt once said, it is the affair of every honest voter wherever born, to see that no fraudulent voting is allowed anywhere. i want to thank vice president pence for cheering the commission. i also want to thank kansas secretary of state kris kobach for serving as vice-chair. it will be a lot of work. they will work very hard over fairly short period of time. i want to thank you both much,r. chris, mike. there is bipartisan panel consisting of both republican and democratic leaders and experts on voter integrity.. i would like to personally thank each of our panel members for serving. really do appreciate it. in addition to the chair and vice-chair, this distinguished bipartisan panel includes indiana secretary of state connie lawson. thank you. new hampshire secretary of state bill gardner. thank you. maine secre

that turks and even the americans have acknowledged the p.k. k. as a terrorist group that's one example of just how difficult things are in the region you know it just looks like retaliation by turkey how else can it be interpreted you know it is retaliation there is no question about this because this is a state run media organization let's remember we're talking about one hundred fifty thousand people who have been fired across turkey who disagree with everyone we know that more than fifty thousand have been arrested or indicted we know that there are more journalists in jail right now in turkey than any country on the planet and the heir to one government is watching this very very carefully this would not be allowed but for the heir to one government specifically allowing it to happen this was purposeful what's the proper response here what can military sources do what can the cia do what does this mean. well in this case what has to happen is there has been a lot of cooperation cooperation between americans and the turks but the e.u. and t
