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

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

america can do this and we see what the elect the-ification of america did that's correct kent different with the telephone system did, where we could talk among ourselves and communicated. it to, the high speed internet is that interstate highway of the 21st century and we need a ubiquitous high-speed internet system across the country, not only for the farmsteads and the rural towns about the fields of america. when you look at the technology that exists in illinois over the presomethings agriculture, real productivity. a real world example, with the high-speed internet, technology of gps and satellites we can gate 20-bushel per acre increase with almost half the input. you talk about real productivity increase. the are products on the shelf today that manufacturers are waiting to deploy when we have the opportunity for broadband activity, and frankly, this will only spur more as we get there. so i'm very pleased with the interest and the energy regarding ubiquitous broadband across america. believe it's particularly transformative in that area. how do we pay for it? obviously that's t

we wish america always to be constructive. and i believe that's the intention of this administration as with others. but i guess we're asking people at this stage now to step up and to demonstrate that by way of deed. so there is talk of a special envoy being appointed. i very much hope that that happens. i heard george mitchell speak so eloquently last evening in the library of congress, so movingly, so passion knitly about the process of building peace. >> he knows it probably better than anybody except for you in that country having been the key negotiator. but i wonder you just said you met at the state department. and we've been talking about the changing of the guard there. did you actually meet with rex tillerson? is he still on the job? >> no. no. indeed we didn't. and we were -- we were busily examining issues that for me are domestic matters. i have to say, though, you conhelp but feel that there was a changing of the guards under way. and of course that's a matter for this administration. it's not really a matter fo

china has been exercising a trade war against america and america is losing that trade war so perhaps who knows who you may not be in a trade war since seven hundred seventy six i mean the world economy is a trade war that's the way trade is it's it's trade of what sometimes gets extremely hostile if you will and actually leads to war so you know a lot of times people make that argument but any time you have people exchanging goes from one country to another and currencies that are predominately the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar being world reserve currency is an act of trade war in a lot of ways now you mention one nine hundred seventy one when the u.s. went off the gold standard that was the international gold standard in one thousand thirty three they first went bankrupt according to luke roman when they basically made it illegal for citizens of the united states to own gold and confiscated their gold and that kept them on the gold standard the international trade standard up until one nine hundred seventy one now since then we've been on the u.s. dollar standard so this is another h

very similar to what happened when america declare their independence, the english seized to supply america with goods. the same thing happened with the north and the south. what was established was the confederate states bible society. this is the first new testament printed from the confederate states bible society, which is actually imprinted on the title page. testamentrare new because the soldiers read their bibles and their new testaments. it was equally important to the south as it was to the north. most of these were destroyed because they took them into battle with them and it was one of the only comforts they could have. today, we found out two hours ago that billy graham had passed away. we note he is a strong -- we know he is a strong an influential person in america, not only for his spiritual principles he brought to us but for the support of the civil rights movement as well. he invited dr. martin luther king jr. to preach at one of his revival sermons at madison square garden. he insisted there would no segregation or separation. he was a great supporter. we have been fortun

now is the time to rebuild america. now is the time to create 10 million to 15 million decent paying jobs. now is the time to restore pride in rural america that has desperate needs in urban america that has desperate needs. unfortunately the trump plan, as you have heard, is a sham. it is a fraud. we need a real investment for real jobs to rebuild this infrastructure. and that is what this plan does. thank you. mr. schumer: thank you and thanks for your brevity. senator nelson. mr. nelson: so you see what happens when you don't have bipartisanship? what you have is one party creating a tax bill in our tax writing committee, the finance committee, ramming it down the throat of everybody, excluding the other party from any participation. oh, would it have been bipartisanship? because what would have happened in the tax bill is what you're being presented today. the corporate tax would have been cut. it would have been cut substantially. 10 points from 35% to 25%. reasonable things would have been done on estate taxes. an

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

so, this, of course, is america's longest war. it is one that started because of 9/11 and the attacks on our country which emanated from here. my office was in the pentagon and struck by the plane that hit the pentagon on 9/11, so for me and many of us it is personal. it wasn't clear that president trump was going to commit america to this conflict. you advocated quite hard that america should continue, why did you argue? the military chain of command is one voice and our policy process just as in any country, and the military assessment was that because of the number of terrorist groups in the region, there is a total of 21 such groups in the region, violent extremist organisation, terrorist organisations, etc, the highest concentration anywhere in the world, so this threat, if we don't keep pressure on this threat, the risk is that we will suffer more attacks on our homeland from the region. so we believe from a military perspective that remaining here, albeit in a much smaller form then we once were, enables us to maintain adeq

is that america has run out of space you know the runway is cut short is don't place else to go like the problems that were baked into the cake of the american experience where there was it's racism they know never won a way it's hard coded in the american d.n.a. violence ultraviolence it's part of the american d.n.a. these are severe deep problems in the americans soul but they were able to be ignored because there was a huge land from sea to shining sea and in their land was room to grow and to evolve and you could create some wacky religion like mormonism for example as you know a whole cloth and based on the flying spaghetti monster scientology could come up you know it's like there is room for all those crazy stuff but there's no more room or other room in the world has gotten smaller the ecology is shrinking you know the social media ability to foster relationships is runt it's and of course censorship is becoming real all over the world so america is now eating in south america do you i forget who says that maybe those girls got here and i don't know or dr dre they're definite

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.

every region with it be south america europe north america you have the traditional beacons is that now being challenged by the smaller countries i think all over the world the smaller countries. are doing pretty well to organize themselves and be hard to play against and go into qualification and go into tournament's with a real plan so. you don't see so many situations where teams are just getting along apart anymore i mean i think teams can hold together better and so that's a challenge to the to the top teams because if you're the better team on the day your ability to not only get control but. open teams up may chance to score goals. in germany still doesn't well that's one of the reasons that they're always in the top group. in other parts of the world you see you see challenges argentina's qualifying wasn't so easy so regardless of where you come from the challenge of having a team that can step on the field in a real ideas and a real sense of purpose and do it game in a game out that's still there for people to to work towards foresee a time when the u.s. will get to semifinals

(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

look at the history of north america, south america, central asia. almost any geographical part of the world is full of such stories. yes, there has been violence associated with migration but it's not necessarily the case. in north america, there was a kind of genocide where the free colombian population of america was effectively wiped out by those who came in. —— pre—columbian. but, you know, i have brown skin because for tens of thousands of years, lighter skinned people have come into the darker skinned parts of the indian subcontinent where i live and that they didn't actually massacre each other and result in just lighter skinned people surviving. they stuck around and inter—mixed. most of human history i think is like that. it is not genocide after genocide. frequently, i think most often, we don't engage in genocide which is why we're shocked by genocide. ijust wonder and i alluded to this earlier, whether you would acknowledge that your rather optimistic view of where humanity is going, particularly on this question of migration and

trading to track money from the markets and bank of america and causing taxes to go up because those fraudulent programs like obamacare rip people off because infrastructure projects that it causes people in san francisco living on the street living in their own feces because guys on wall street think it's necessary to create scams to just rip capital out of these markets. and. i would still like to be for this because everyone in it for the sake of peace and stability that with it's the russians or the americans or the pakistanis or the indians all those months by and large will be our objective is the theme we just peace and stability within the region that is the cool. weather just within the one is done or for the region the long term presence of all foreign troops inside of one. of the region for a one month. feel in the dear little bottle of saudi in china six oir here in the. area. an estimated eighteen fastens on to reach refugees are now living in greece. you know just to go. to your home in there you go food drink. and many sell their bodies just to make ends meet. with the
