american sports history. specifically, we're going to explore what i like to call the return of the great white hope in the 1980s. you know all about the original great white hope. you did research on the original great white hope. jim jeffreys in 1910 comes out of retirement and tries to redeem the white race and defeat jack johnson in the ring in reno. you know he was unsuccessful. he failed. well, in the 1980s, there emerged a few white athletes who were thought of somewhat in the same way. these were white athletes that white americans hoped would score symbolic victories in sports and the attitudes towards these athlete s suggested that perhaps the nation had not come as far as many people like to think with regards to race. perhaps racial issues had not gone away. the united states may have entered what commentators were calling the post-civil rights era. the 1970s, 1980s. this is the post-civil rights era but, clearly, race was still meaningful. clearly racial anxiety still existed. and so to illustrat

buy american and hire american. all right? two simple rules. buy american and hire american. two simple rules, buy american and hire american. okay? >> president-elect has been doing these campaign-style rallies for himself around the country over the last couple of weeks and he's using this new slogan "buy american, hire american." always gets a huge round of applause, but he's also at the same time still running his business. he's out there in the world saying hire american. hire american. now here's the palm beach post. trump again hires foreign workers for mar-a-lago. little change in pay. citing newly released data from the u.s. labor department, trump has won approval to hire 64 foreign workers through the federal's h2b foreign visa program. this is not like building something overseas in a factory. this is for service jobs waiting table jobs and cooking at a place in florida. he's bringing foreign workers into the united states to work at his place in florida. i mean, there are local people in florida who want these jobs. there's a local nonprofit job placement agency

president, the american people have spoken. the american people are tired of this. you are on your way out. please respect the results of the election and quit issuing these regulations that are stifling economic growrt and -- economic growth and crushing middle-class families. i hope he abides by that. i hope he listens to us. i hope he listens to the american people, but somehow i think we're going to see even more of these in the next month or so. so, mr. president, i just want to conclude by noting something that i think most americans understand intuitively. when it comes to our nation and the comparative advantages that we have over other countries, and i'm talking the major countries in the world, whether it's china or russia or the e.u. or brazil or japan, we have so many incredible comparative advantages relative to anyone. we have energy. we have great entrepreneurs. we have world class universities. we have agriculture and fisheries that literally feed the world. we have some of the brightest young people, like our pages here. we have a military that's th

that seemed incongruous to me since the american revolution had only just fractured the anglo-american polity. philanthropy reflects perception s of community. we exercise our moral responsibility within circles we feel connected to. so i was surprised in the wake of the war of separation americans and britain felt , morally invested in the welfare people who were now foreigners illegal strangers. if you are familiar with the literature on the rise of humanitarianism, you may be wondering why i found caring for strangers surprising. scholars have explored the expansion of moral responsibility in the late 18th and early 19th centuries often focused on the anti-slavery movement. while, the rise of the anti-slavery movement along with the burgeoning of other charitable and reform causes was economic. the rise of capitalism, he argument has gone, gave rise to humanitarianism. the well-heeled thought to train the lower sorts for industrial economy. the reform institutions worked similarly to factories and the well-off generally sought to remake other classes. another argument has been that

therein lies the spirit of tolerance embraced by the american people. when the war ended and japan was a nation in burnt out ruins, as far as the eye could see, suffering under abject poverty, it was the united states and its good people that instinctively sent food to eat and clothes to wear. the japanese people managed to survive and make their way toward the future, thanks to the sweaters and milk from the american people. it was the united states who opened up the path for japan to return to the international community once more after the war. under the leadership of the united states, japan as a member of the free world was able to enjoy peace and prosperity. the goodwill and the assistance that you sent to the japanese, the enemy you had fought so fiercely, together with the tremendous spirit of tolerance were etched deeply into the hearts and the minds of our grandfathers and mothers. we also remember them, our children and grandchildren, will continue to pass these memories down and never forget what you did for us. the words pass through my min

charlie: this is the american public you believe believes that? african-americans? latino americans? you believe that all americans believe what you just articulated? tom: >> i think that it's different in different parts of the population. but that overall, the economic insecurity part is something that i think people feel really strongly and i think if you look across society there is a sense that the insiders are not paying attention to everybody. that, you know, if you think of government for the people, that that's not what we're having. we do not have nearly a just enough society and i think people are angry as hell. charlie: that explains some voters. how was this election influenced by the two candidates? was it simply that those people you just described defined donald trump or all the controversy about him as a change agent? tom: i think there is in quite that the people were aware -- i think the american people are smart and that they're aware of all the issues about donald trump, about his history, his attitudes, the things he says, his lack of policy, a

american exceptionalism is a recognition is an acceptance of american founding being a truth claim of human dignity. margaret thatcher used to say every european country is a product of history. and the american founding is a claim that rights come to us from god via nature and government is a shared project to secure those rights. government isn't the author or the source of our rights. government is an important secular tool but rights predate government and government is a claim about human dignity. when you look at human history there have been flirtations with the idea. they have talked about commonality but by and large people have assumed the world's a broken and dangerous place. you need government to protect it and provide stability. whoever has the stability, the monopoly when we find an ordered world, we should be grateful for them. we should sit back. the assumption has been government came first, power came first and the power full out of their beneficence granted rights to the people. we should secure the rights together as a people. now we get to, i'll stop here, but we

in terms -- many americans don't realize american indians are american citizens. that is a fundamental thing when i go around talking to audiences, what you hear about, tribal sovereignty has this impact on its audience, are you a citizen of another country or part of the united states? american indians are american citizens, they should have all these rights. when you look at it, it is about the economics, the book gets into these questions about what the actual rights are that are being denied. freedom of the press on some of these reservations is severely restricted. of the tribe does not like what a local newspaper has written about some tribal law that has been passed or something they set about tribal legislators, they will battle could ban the newspaper from being sold anywhere on the reservation. there was a supreme court case this year about the rights of people in tribal court and there is a question about whether you have been granted due process in tribal court, the association for defense lawyers in the united states has written several letters to con

the american dream. it really is what we are about. before i leave the stage tonight, i want to share with you why that is so important to our president-elect and why it is so important. first and foremost, for america to be prosperous and strong, america must be safe. it was ronald reagan who taught us that he's comes through strength. and yet it would be in recent years -- [applause] despite the ongoing admonition of the heritage foundation about its central mission of a commitment to a national defense, the reality is today, this administration and in so many ways, we have walked away from our commitment to be that arsenal of democracy in the world. here are some stats for you. remember, the heritage foundation was actually minted back in the day when ed fuller remember, the heritage had dark hair and was just a staff intern. [laughter] it was minted around the mission of national defense. one of my predecessors in the house of representatives would go on to start an outside organization that would pr

the spectacle of american soldiers shooting it out with american civilians was even more shocking than the rioting itself. the nation was stunned and horrified. no smugness now. this time it wasn't a foreign country, this time it was "anarchy u.s.a.". the degree of communist influence and these riots has been the subject of discussion and controversy. for a solution on this controversy, let's review the events in recent years at home and abroad in light of the communists own plans for world conquest. >> the communists disdains and openly declares their ends can only be attained by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. >> the most powerful enemy can be conquered only by exerting the utmost effort and by thoroughly, carefully, attentively, skillfully taking advantage of even the smallest rift, of every antagonism of interest among the various groups or types within the various countries. >> divisive people, split them into quarreling factions fighting among themselves rather than their common enemy. this is the comrades first rule for the conquest of any country, for

not all americans swallowed the new deal line whole. but most of them did identify powerfully and intimately with roosevelt. as part of the process of identification, they began to adopt a rhetoric ever rights and freedom and adapted to their own lives. now propaganda and war agency learned that the most effective appeals were those that personalized government messages, while down playing the overtly ideological statements. the most common strategy used to accomplish this was a rhetorical approach that the lift orran george roder has termed the homefront analogy. this was the point of devaluation of every conceivable aspect of civilian life according to the contribution to the war effort. most often by tracing the battle front consequences of ordinary decisions at home. and this rhetorical universe, defense workers were mo proeted to production and home gardens became victory gardens and young women willing to socialize with soldiers were called victory girls. roosevelt understood the need to personalize the war and he did so recentles
