for the president march would sharpen the contrast between america's problems and america's promise. it would be a period devoted to healing the country's ills and divisions culminating with an announcement that would both shock and sadden the nation. this decision would leave march 1968 to be remembered as one of the most significant months in the history of american politics and the american presidency. the month began for president johnson at the swearing-in ceremony of the new secretary of defense. as an aide and adviser to three different presidents, clark clifford's recommendations have been a guiding force through some of america's most critical moments. >> this is a great day for us in the white house. we were finally successful in persuading clark clifford, prevailing upon him to move from the kitchen cabinet to the east room. some people have compared this appointment to a wedding. after a very long and sometimes secret courtship, we are finally making an honest man out of him. chief justice honors us by his willingness to be present this morning and administer the oath. >>

where do we start with the bible in america? you can hear some of the background noise, the ocean, the waves hitting the shore of america. that is where we start. , itfirst opening case here says, coming to america, arriving in the new world, mayflower compact. we talk about these things. in many cases, we have to use a replica or just talk. we found that works well because people have heard about these things. generations have passed. the kid, we had to memorize bill of rights, the declaration of independence, the mayflower contract. today, that is not so much emphasized. we had to take that into account and even though we may not have document,wer compact we introduce it and talk about the importance of it. this is where we will start. norm, jump in. >> the first artefact you will be presented with is something known as the bay samba. this will be the first book printed in america in 1640. she p returns -- the puritan were not only immigrants to this new world but they were also scholars. translated from the hebrew and the gre

it was a shameful day for america. [applause] we refused to stand up for our friends when it was singled out for terrible mistreatment. on my first day, i assured the israeli ambassador that on my watch, that would never happen again. [applause] ambassador haley: and i'm proud to say it has not happened again. >> we love you, nikki. ambassador haley: i love you too. standing up for your friends is very important in the united nations. another one of the principles i took with me into the job was that i had absolutely no patience for bullying. [applause] ambassador haley: when i grew up, we were the only indian family in a small southern town in south carolina. on the whole, it was a great and friendly community. my parents, my brother and sister and i were always grateful for the support that surrounded us. but that did not mean every day was great. my parents were immigrants. my father wore a turban. my mother wore a sari. there were times that we got bullied. when i was governor, i did something about it. i started a

america will no and the america we must act. [applause] >> from the students of maryland to the students of this region, to students all over america, we have a simple message to all of you, which is know your power. you can change the direction of america. [applause] you are not only the future of america, you are the conscience of america and you were here to ask america to do the right thing. you are here to say that is unacceptable in america for students to be slaughtered in their schools. [applause] it is wrong in america for people to go to concerts and end up in carnage. and it is unacceptable in america to see this daily toll of gun violence on streets throughout our country. [applause] earlier this morning on the floor of the senate, senator cardin and i ran the names of victims of gun violence in maryland, including 17 young people, people under 20 who were victims in maryland just in the last year. people from all over our state, like people all over the country are crying out and saying we are mad as and we are not

they stood in line today and those who saw america as an adventure and those who saw america as a beacon of hope. it was a business of numbers, an operation designed to house and feed and process, 4,000 people at a time. to identify those who american authority might reject and return to europe at steamship expense. >> first thing to do is delouse, lock your hair off. there was a net in your hair, you would have to shampoo. >> during epidemics huge facilities were established to fume gate clothing and baggage and people. processed and tickets, they waited for the ship. they boarded in many parts of europe and many vessels, most in new york and some to other ports. but they had one thing in common, they were traveling steerage and steamship companies understood the profit in numbers. they began a adjournmy that could last from a week to a month. >> that was the last time that it ever ran again, last trip she made. she would have never made that one either. >> for some, it would be a voyage without incident. for others the crossing would provide days for which they were ill prepared. >> th

( laughter ) and jeb bush, first trump stole his dignity, now his exclamation point. when will it end? ( laughter ) if trump seemed he was in an especially good mood, a few days earlier he had a big life event. donald trump got a new best friend. >> global stunner, the president agrees to meet face to face with north korea's leader, something no president has ever done. >> the decision to meet came suddenly and dramatically. once president trump heard kim jong un wanted to meet with him, he quickly agreed. >> the president was ecstatic, poking his head into the white house briefing room to announce something big was about to happen is that this is the cutest story i've heard about trump in a long time. he was so excited. kim jong un wanted to meet him that he was running tarped white house telling everyone. it was, like, did you guys hear? i said yes! "rocket man"! never had a lover l

america. part of the reason we are so blind to be's ethnic divides and tribal divides is because we have had such exceptional success in our own country. it is really true. we are special. the idea is, if germans, polls, hungarians, jews and japanese could all become americans within one or two generations, why cannot kurds all become iraqis. and all of these people in vietnam. if we put in freedom, they will all come together. because of the distinction between the vietnamese and the chinese. that is america at its best contributing to our inability to see these smaller, more primal identities. in another negative side, i hate this term because it is overused, but part of it is a legacy of racism. for a lot of americans they could not see the difference between the vietnamese and chinese because they all looked alike. they were all gooks and slants. that is something we are all getting better at. to be fair, there were not very many asians in this country so they did not know the difference.

crossroads, america's defense strategy. next, on great decisions. (exciting music) - [announcer] great decisions is produced by the foreign policy association, in association with thomson reuters. funding for great decisions is provided by pricewaterhousecoopers, llp. (upbeat music) - [narrator] there was a time when the us was a reluctant world power. foreign policy was run by the state department and the us treasury, and largely focused on advancing american commercial interests overseas. - we had american statecraft that largely relied on diplomacy and economic policy. we had secretaries of state that everybody knew their names, we had secretaries of war that nobody had ever heard of. the second world war changed all that. it really brought to the fore a unified department of defense. - policy makers talked in terms of us foreign policy, and defense policy. since world war ii and down to the present moment, policy makers tend to talk in terms of national security policy. national security policy tends to privilege, or to place particular emphasis

when i got the award, i said, god bless america. only in america could this be chuck schumer. mr. schumer: ok. anyway. we are not here to talk about the great irish people. as much as we love them. ok. i want to thank everyone for being here. now, last january we senate democrats unveiled our trillion-dollar infrastructure plan and sent it to the president. we said it was one of the areas we could certainly work with the president when he called me a week after winning the election, that was the first thing we talked about. unfortunately it took a year for the administration to unveil a plan and the plan they unveiled just doesn't come close to doing what america needs. it relies on $200 billion in federal funds, largely financed by cutting existing infrastructure programs. and on local governments and the private sector to make up the vast bulk of infrastructure building we so desperately need here in america. robbing peter to pay paul a ittance won't do nearly enough to rebuild our infrastructure. as penn wateren found out, it would spur only 2% or $30 million of the $1.5 millio

you are leading america! you are america! . that is who you are. we'll gives you the right to do that? the amendment that comes before the first. thatupreme court said teachers nor students shed -- do not shed their first amendment at the schoolhouse and you had the right to speak and protest and thatre doing it if itis only limited creates a disruption of the but what isprocess, crating a disruption is the politicians who don't act to promote gun safety. safety standing up for for realrder and education in america. and, you are here because you "neverrk twain, who said let schooling get in the way of your education." will you forget the young people slaughtered in parkland? are you going to forget the people slaughtered at hope? -- pulse? sandy hook? columbine? lost vegas? san bernardino? every day by handgun violence? are you going to lie down and let the nra rollover you? are you going to take back america? are we going to pass a ban on assault weapons and universal criminal and mental background checks? are you going to march on saturday? are w

do what for in america yeah well that's what mr putin says at the end of the interview if you remember he says he's been through four presidents and i asked him what's changed and he said basically nothing so he's indicating that there's a bureaucracy he call that if you're ocracy in america they call it a deep state bureaucracy that has been resistant to change certainly the policies towards russia for the most part united states been highly negative since one thousand nine hundred seventy since the revolution when mr wilson president wilson said american troops to siberia to join the british expeditionary force. seems wrong. to me. to see out of. one some find themselves while the part. of the common ground. winning is fourth and most probably last term is russia's president vladimir putin has six more years to fashion his legacy changed russia we continue. welcome back to sophie and co now the other day i sat down with the legendary filmmaker oliver stone and in moscow bookstore and ask him whether a second cold war was just a figure of speech or as to or more to it it's a figure of

printed in america. elliottown as the indian bible or the algonquin indian bible. john elliott, who came over to america for the sole purpose to reach the indigenous people, he learned their language. keep in mind the time period. they didn't have a written language. so elliott would use the geneva bible, develop a syllabus, and translated the bible into their language. and for the so purpose of reaching them to convert them to christianity. the findings came from england, which was the very first bible society for the propagation of the gospels. this is the first bible printed in america and is a highlight in our collection. but the last thing i want to mention is this bible over here. it is known as the slave bible. it was specifically produced where they actually removed the they of the exodus, so that bible was presented to the slaves, the idea of god delivering them from their the storyhich specifically tells in the book of exodus was removed, and they would not have the idea of freedom. it is a bib

jews in thee of the founding of america? what is the role of african americans, the spaniards, the french? fortunately much of our history ofks today have been -- sort everything has been dumped into one pot. it is sort of a big story without a lot of details. we decided we would break those details out. each of those people groups have their own distinct story. a lot of persecution, a lot of lives lost because of infighting here in america. that fromwas fleeing europe to come here to get away from it. that's a lot of the story that doesn't get told. the tapestry really depicts a lot of that. now we are arriving and we start picketing. we pick new england, obviously. it did started going through here with some key documents. >> as you mentioned we are starting in new england, which is where the first economies were settled. basicallytifacts are covenants or property ownership that has been granted to the colonists. we are looking at massachusetts, pennsylvania, and kerry was talking about the religious toleration or in toler

can succeed in america who works hard so this is a whole group of people all generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't live up so their response essentially is to go into conflict and this is a major. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to the press this is what will before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small boat sniffs at a hard pull of ships and it's still a. lot tougher than. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't be calmer. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with a big fleet now you get an idea of why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with in this world he is the only boy in his arms. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future gene

that is how i have seen america and that is how i continue to see america, generosity, kindness, goodness, pure-heartedness. - well this explains so much that we didn't know before, right? - sure. - you arrived at the podium at the convention and for most of us, this was the first time we had encountered you. - sure. the first time that we knew any aspects of your story. this makes sense. this helps us understand better. so you came to america. you went to harvard. your family joined you. in silver spring, maryland is where your kids grew up. it's just a great american story and again, the story is told in extraordinary detail in here. we learned about you as i said, mr. khan, at that convention. and we learned about you and your wife and we learned about your extraordinarily brave son who was lost in 2004 in iraq. we learned about his death. i want you to tell us about his life, right? we know about him in the context of the tragic end to his life. but tell us about his life. tell us about what he was like, who he was. - well, recently after all of this noise, political noise, people are

. >> i think america is just fine. do i like some of the language that comes out of this white house? no. >> and we'll talk about russia and the divisions back home in the united states. and xi jinping, will he be china's president for life? the chinese national people's congress looks poised to make that possible. how is that being received in china? what does it mean for the rest of the world? two top experts will discuss. also, we were warned about jihadis returning to america from syria. so what happened? we have the answer. then on the eve of the academy awards -- >> mom and dad, my black boyfriend will be coming up this weekend. >> is hollywood finally changing its ways? we will examine diversity in america's biggest soft power industry, the movies. but first, here's my take. amid the usual trump reality show in washington this week, it would be easy to miss what is happening in china. but it is huge and consequential. china is making the most significant change to its political system in 35 years. what impact wi

israel is safer because of america's presence in the middle east and america's interests benefit when israel stance is a partner in pursuit of common interest in this troubled region region. fortunately in the last year the new administration and the united front in congress have charted a new course.

[applause] though the campaign to defeat isil -- this administration accelerated it. it began to rebuild america's armed forces and the call by ending the spending caps that a four-star servicemembers to do more with less. secretary madison or military leaders will once again have more resources to meet the myriad missions our nation puts before them. our counterterrorism cooperation has been exemplary and of course the united states h

president obama: there has been another mass shooting in america. this time in a community college in oregon. thaat means there are more american families, moms, dads, children, whose lives have been changed forever. that means there is another community stunned with great, and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish, and parents across the country who are scared because they know i might -- know it might have been their families or their children. i have been to roseburg, oregon. there are good people there. i would like to thank the bravery of first responders who saved lives today. we have offered to stay and help roseburg as much and as long as they need. in the coming days, we will learn about the victims, young men and women who were studying and learning and working hard, their eyes set on the future, their dreams on what they could make of their lives. america will wrap everyone who is grieving in our prayers and our love. but as i said just a few months ago, and i said a few months before that, each time we see on

or is america too busy to care? are the needs greater than the most resourceful nation in the world can meet? this classroom is a challenge to democracy. this teacher cannot be asked to meet that challenge alone. a school like this holds more promise mofor america's future. alert parents see to it that the school provides a chance for the youngsters to fulfill their potentialities. regimentation is considered primitive in good american schools. the children have an opportunity to stretch the muscles of their own initiative. they can fly and fancy any place they please. the air age acquires personal meaning. it's not easy to learn the meaning of freedom. the youngsters are learning responsibility, gaining that all too necessary innate sense of right and wrong. in this nation that's the right according to the law of every child. that right must be extended to more and more children every day. rights. the right of access to information. the right to think and to speak without fear. the right to work toward chosen goals

it would be a huge shot in the arm for jobs in america for prosperity in america, far more than this slanted tax bill aimed so much at the few wealthy who are so tight with this new republican party. so i dare say our proposal is a much more effective use of taxpayer dollars than a handout to the biggest corporations and will create far more good-paying jobs in the process. so i hope our republican colleagues will rethink things. their path is a path to a cul de sac. to great losses in the election. rethink that tax cut. don't allow these buybacks. they're doing no good for anyone but the handful, and that's where 60% of the money is going on the corporate rate. and join us in taking some of that money to do what the federal government has done since henry clay proposed it in the 1820's, put that money into infrastructure. jobs, good-paying jobs, efficiency. let's not let china or another country become the leader in infrastructure. they invest, the chinese government, the japanese government, european governments invest in infrastructure. so did this government until donald trump be

a school like this holds more promise for america's future. alert parents see to it that the school provides the chance for the youngsters to fulfill their potential. >> it's considered primitive in good american schools. the children have an opportunity to stretch the muscles of their own initiative. they can fly any place they please. the air age requires personal meaning. it's not easy to learn the age of freedom. the youngsters are learning responsibility. gaining that sense of right and wrong. in this nation, that is the right according to the law of every child. that right must be extended to more and more children every day. rights. the right of access to information. the right to think and to speak without fear. the right to work toward goals. school children, yes but in schools they learn the ways of liberty which they must practice tomorrow to keep america free. as congressmen, business leaders, as americans, their decisions and the way they make them will determine the nature of our democracy. today in our schools we can secure bles

the pilgrims call america a new zion. america has been open to the jewish people in way you can be fully american and fully jewish. my personal travels to israel, more deeply though where it comes not just for me but for the united states as a whole is from our people. administration's president, secretaries of state. somewhere more supportive in that alliance than others. congress is the source in washington of the continued bedrock relationship between the united states and israel. [ applause ] don't clap too much for congress. the reason for that is because the people who send us here are the true foundation of that relationship. it's the relationship between the american people and the israeli people that make it a unique relationship with any nation that we have in the world. that's why you continue to see overwhelming majorities of both the house and the senate supporting u.s. israel relationship. >> you served our country in the u.s. army for nearly five year including two combat tours. we want to thank you for you

and then we saw acrossca america today. high school students in the high school came out and said enough. we are fed up with the laws of this land and the politicians refuse to change them. we are fed up with the fear that comes with just going to school in america. we are fed up with those who say the second amendment requires us to live in fear. and they've marched on on towns across america today. they have marched on washington. they've come to my office and visited with me and i believe they've become a major force in the national debate. i commend them. i encourage them and i hope they continue. you know, politics is tov. there are forces like the national rifle association and gun lobbies go the wrong way. they came after me when i was a member of the house. they almost got me. as a tough election year. i managed to survive it, but they poured the money in and tried to beat me. i've never had their support and said that it's okay with me. for a lot of members of congress, they are just not willing to risk it, not wil

it makes it sound like when america really needs something, when america is crying out to prevent future parklands, the president just succumbs to the pressure group that puts the moe most heat on him, in this case the nra. >> what's the likelihood of congress, the senate and the house, passing any kind of gun legislation following the parkland school massacre? >> i would say two things. first, leader mcconnell and speaker ryan are so afraid of the nra, as are most of their members, that unless the president gives them cover saying he's for it, it's very hard to see getting anything else done, maybe until the congress changes in a year after the elections. but the second thing i would say is this. don't underestimate the power of these kids. i've been focused on this issue for a long time. i was author of the brady law in congress when i was a congressman back in the mid-'90s. i've never seen anything like this. i've never seen so many people in different walks of life, in different political per swass telling me we. the fact that logical be a and 70 cities around the country. duck this

for us, we separate the rural america that absolutely wants 5g and the america that is underserved by any broadband today. those are two different challenges and we need two different solutions. in times of -- in terms of 5g for rural america, absolutely.>> okay. mr. udall.>> thank you. this topic of this hearing is timely and important. in new mexico, we have companies including tribally owned telecommunication companies, rural electric co- ops, and traditional rural local exchange carriers that are working hard every day to serve the highest cost areas. but basic economics tells us they need more support from federal programs. by support we mean dollars, not simply press releases and rhetoric. as i sit here and listen to some of the testimony, it is striking. major wireless companies are winning the race for 5g, too many people in new mexico and those living on tribal lands are stuck without one g. while carriers have been vocal about what they see as delays, i hear from many rural areas and tribal communities about the same carriers refusing to build towers or serve those areas. fo

and urban suburban america in the 5g world. i don't think that we want to leave half of the united states or half of the nation behind this economic opportunity for the new mobile world. and so that's my concern. yes, we need to be on the forefront of innovation, but we also need to do it in a way that allows the entire economy to benefit from this great opportunity. >> thank you very much. well, mr. berry, let me ask you, then, to elaborate, on the concern that i expressed, and that you expressed about data collection, and broadband mapping. i think you said it's just -- it's just totally inadequate. so if you'd comment on that first, and then if anyone else would like to follow up, please do. why is it -- why is the data so wrong? >> you know, the simple question to answer is the garbage in, garbage out. we're not asking -- it's clear, i had great hopes this next round of data requests would actually produce a better quality service maps. what we actually got, though, was very clear that the fcc requested the wrong perimeters

america's families should not be victimized by such evil. and america's laws should not be misused to protect those who perpetrate these crimes or those who, according to the stunning subcommittee report, knowingly give them space and tools to operate while profiting in the process. several of us have worked hard on this issue for a number of years. it's now past time to take this additional step. when we vote next week, that time will have come. on one final matter, few subjects are closer to the hearts of parents than their children's education. that's why republicans made sure the historic tax reform we passed last year included a provision championed by senator cruz and others that will help parents choose an education for their children that makes sense for their family. a recent article in "the courier-journal" in louisville, kentucky, shared the story of one family whose second grade son struggled with an undiagnosed learn disability. he had had trouble keeping up with his public school class. so like many parents facing similar chall

america again! >> if the party wants a progressive, there's plenty in the senate. there is bernie sanders, kamala harris, elizabeth warren, kirsten gillibrand. cory booker. >> i am up for reelection in 2020 as a senator and i will be there. >> if mayors motivate the base, there may be three. formerly the mayor of new orleans, eric garcetti from los angeles. others, celebrities like oprah, george clooney, even the rock. >> would you run? >> seriously considering it. >> former missouri secretary of state jason kander, former hud secretary, john delaney, seth moulton. >> it doesn't necessarily mean they are running this cycle but with day -- why not think about it? >> that group of democrats reveals nobody knows what the base is going to look like. that's why the new hampshire chairman tells me he thinks the split is going to wind up being generational because democrats are going to have a choice between candidates in their 30s and 40s versus i -- some in their 60s and 70s. >> bret: thank you. follow-u

it impose back so deeply in our history, you know, the pilgrim called america a new zion and america is always been welcoming and open to jewish people. and in a way that you could come to america and be fully american and also fully jewish isn't always the case in nations around the world. also, my personal travel to israel which i no doubt on several occasion first elected to the congress, more deeply, though, where it comes not just from me but for the united states as a whole is from our people. you know, administrations, president, secretaries of state defense come and go, some are more supportive of that alliance than others. but congress is the source in washington of the continued bed rock relationship between the united states and israel. [applause] but -- don't clap too much for congress. [laughter] but -- the reason for what is because the people who send us here are the true foundation of that relationship. and it's the relationship between the american people and the israeli people that make it a unique relationship with any nation that we have in the world. and that --

this week vice president pence has been on the road hearing how tax reform is changing america's lives and livelihoods for the better. he visited all three of those states listening to workers and small business owners. it's interesting, though, the huge number of early tax reform success stories aren't getting the applause they deserve from over here on the other side of the aisle. every one of my democratic colleagues in the house and in the senate made the political calculation to vote along party lines and try to sink tax reform. every single one of them in the house and the senate. fortunately, those efforts failed, but even with tax reform now, the law of the land, it seems my democratic friends are so unwilling to admit their mistake that they'd rather try to sabotage the law that is already helping families and making american job creators more competitive. just yesterday, for example, senate democrats announced they'd like to spend a trillion dollars -- a trillion dollars of taxpayer money and they want to roll back america's brand new tax cuts while they're at it. this popula

i've always believed in the hope of america i've always believed in the opportunity of america most of all always believed in the freedom of america. i'm not feeling that funny but absolutely now so how do we go out sort of conversation let it be a lot of fun because i think everybody next with laughter i went out there and i utilized my own unique brilliant genius sense of comedy. and i use that. to heal a nation. now that hasn't always worked out for me. is today free or easy day. you. see that's. not the mood all you guys ride some really cool gnarly big machine we figured from our friends at def digital cash we bring in our own heavy artillery. squally wins by a sam slide. and from there. start to. create a dialogue create a conversation but do a lot more listening and have a willingness to not be in a hurry to be so judgmental whoever it is i'm talking to but rather listen and learn about who they are and then see where the conversation goes from there and that's where it goes to you guys out there or all you pilgrims around the world that have jaw and this conversation whenever t

and n south america. there are interests that not wanting to necessarily see the bank of the bricks countries go forward. and there is the brazilian press always talks about the close relationship between the office of the attorney general in brazil and the department of justice in the united states, around petroas issues. and we are trying to investigate brazilage legislators go to the u.s. congress. they talk with u.s. congresspersons. and all we want is to be working so that brazil will be country n country, a that knows how to use its tremendous potential for development to benefit the people of brazil. i ask myself every day who would be interested in trying to destroy petrobras? who would be interested in destroying brazil's engineering industry? who would be interested in destroying the largest company in protein in the world near brazil? who is interested in fracking in brazil? amy: monday marks the 15th anniversary of the u.s. invasion of iraq. you opposed that invasion. your thoughts today? with

we got a consensus in america. in congress we got to do our job and let that consensus become the law. with that, mr. speaker, i'll yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the chair recognizes the gentleman from colorado, mr. perlmutter, for 30 minutes. mr. speaker, thank you for the opportunity to address the house and people across the country and i'm joined today by two of my friends, jared huffman, congressman from american california, and dan kildee, congressman from flint, michigan. and we're here on another very important topic. we just heard our friend, jamie raskin from maryland, talking about gun violence and the need to try to limit that and bring it under control. but today we have another very important topic, very troubling topic, and it has to do with the sovereignty of our nation, it has to do with our freedom and it's really pretty as simple as that. this country separated from england so we could be a sovereign nation, so

there is a gun for roughly every man, woman, and child in america. so how can you -- with a straight face -- make the argument that more guns will make us safer? we know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun deaths. the notion that gun laws do not work or make it harder for law-abiding citizens and criminals still get guns -- that is not borne out by the evidence. we know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. friends of ours, allies of ours -- great britain, australia -- countries like ours. so we know there are ways to prevent it. and of course, what is also routine is that somebody somewhere will comment and say, "obama politicized this issue." well, this is something we should politicized. it is relevant to our common life together, to the body politic. i would ask news organizations -- had news organizations tally up the number of americans killed through terrorist attacks in the last decade, and the number of americans who have been kill
