american this bill is lighting the american health care system on fire with intentionality. and used the word freedom at itn center? there's freedom in this bill. there's the freedom to go bankrupt. there's the freedom to get sick and not be able to find a doctor. there's freedom in this bill tor die early. that's not hyperbole, guys. that's what happens when overnight 16 million people lose insurance. and don't tell us that's because people all of a sudden won't be mandated to buy it. this is a vicious cycle that happens. when you get rid of the mandate, every single insurance company will tell you that rates skyrocket. because you're not getting rid of the provision that requires insurance companies to price sick people the same way as healthy people. cbo says rates go be merely by 20% and 20% after that and 20% after that. that. and so all of a sudden you can't have it into mandate because nobody can afford to buy thell. product. there's a lot of freedom in this bill. it's just not the kind of freedom that we all thought waso at the heart of this reform measure. i kno and

as german-american is he 100% american? he feels the weight of having to prove that every day that he is in the military, but yet he knows something else that makes him wonder, his family considered 100% american? he goes into the military but his parents, who are german immigrants, have to go down and have -- they have a different -- he carries this draft registration card around. they have to carry a different kind of card around. they have to carry registration card of an enemy illen. so he registers for the draft. they have to register for -- go to post office, have the their pictures and thumb prints taken and care a card showing they have actually registered as enemy aliens and the government can keep an eye on him. he is in the military but the parents are considered potentially traitors to the country and have to be watched. he is i ware of this dichotomy but even from his own mother. his mother is petrified by the idea that he might accidentally when he gets to the western front kill a relative on the other side, b

i'm actually san jose's fourth vietnamese american council member, but i'm the first american born. so there is a change in the guard, change of generations. and i think it's important for more, you know, asian americans to get out there, not just be elected, but to run for office, make the attempt and to just create this normalcy around asian american candidates. >> okay, so we have a question from our facebook community for the panel, and this one comes from praise santos. and the question is, "is the passive tendency of asians in our current climate of racial tension in the united states benefiting us in the immediate but hurting us in the long term?" vincent, we'll start with you. >> well, i actually don't accept that premise. i think that asian americans are much more active and outspoken than often is understood. you know, certainly the myth of asians as being passive across the globe is easy to debunk, and you could see that in the elections in south korea, you could see that in protests like occupy central in hong kong. and even in the united states, i do think that asian am

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

americans in the next five years. we have set a goal. to lower the cost of living as the leader mentioned for american families, by taking unprecedented action to lower the cost of prescription drugs, very, very important, and by crack do you think on the monopoly that raises costs for our families and hurts competition. to give everyone american -- to give every american three, one to create jobs, two -- with bigger paychecks, two to lower the cost of live, and third to give every american the tools to succeed in the 21st century. we want every family in america to know that they and their children have a place a strong place in the economy of the 21st century work massive new commitment to aparen dististships, lifetime learn, paid on the job training, the list goes on. we have the proposal. today, we're on the road. it's so wonderful to be here in berryville. we're on the road, in a state that has a rich history of our founders and the dreams they proposed of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. we must honor

bill has written wonderful works on american history, american society. about 20 years ago, it was a very important book. looking at the introductions, i believe both diana and jim spent some time here at the madison center. they also have a connection here. i had forgotten that both diana and jim attended kenyon college. this is the panel with people who attended the smallest colleges. [laughter] there has never been a panel with more small college representation on it. i do not know what that means, but i was struck by that. i was going to make a joke about their sports teams, but i looked online and -- is it still true that the kenyon sports teams are still called the lords and ladies. and st. john's, but with their sports team be called? >> the druids. [laughter] >> without further ado, diana schaub. diana: thank you. i had the very great privilege of working with amy and leon on the anthology "proudly we hailed." we learned so much about american history from our conversations about each piece. conversations that were mostly interpretive but sometime

number one, don't investigate the american people. investigate russia. the intelligence community's unanimous and clear in their findings that russians interfered with the 2016 election. every day that goes by that the president and his administration continue to deny it is one day last that we have to prepare for the 2018 elections. and to maximize the security and integrity of elections forward. number two, as has and stated, new systems in the united states of america. the last time the government was a true partner in funding, upgrading, and adding secure systems to our elections was in 2002. the help america vote act was passed, also on a bipartisan basis. number three, don't eliminate, fund the eac, the election system commission. the very body we look to that sets the security standards for voting systems in the country. the very body we look to to aggregate data as to what is working and not working in elections administrations to make it at her for voters in our secure. we need that now more than ever. number four, restore the voting rights act,

the american cancer society. the american heart association, opposed. the american academy of family physicians. the american academy of pediatrics, opposed. the american stick a trick association, opposed. virtually every major national health care association is opposed to this disastrous legislation. so the american people are opposed, the health care organizations r. all across this country are opposed. the bill is written behind closed doors, and yet under those circumstances, they want to bring it to the floor for a vote. now, what most americans are signature around and thinking -- are sitting around and thinking, they are saying, look, the affordable care act has done some good things. before the affordable care act, mr. president, we had some 50 million people without any insurance. the affordable care act provided insurance for about 20 million people. that is no small thing. in the majority leader's own state of kentucky, the rate of uninsured went from 20% down to 7%. that's pretty good. not great, but it's pretty good. west virginia, the ra

they are 30% african-american, and much better trained. and they are not shooting every innocent person. so, the army helped to calm things down somewhat. and then of course, the the communitye of leaders had been working for a while to get things calmed down. you had a convergence of the army and the respect for the army, and their ability to be well-trained, and takes coming down the street helps to get people off of the street when you see tamks coming down, and some community leaders began to help the focus the committee in a different direction. people should know that none of these things happen in a vacuum. uprisings, these rebellions, some people call them riots, they don't happen in a vacuum. there is decades of history. so, knowing about those five days is important, but knowing about the five decades that perceived those five days is even more important because knowing about the legacy of racism, and mistreatment, and economic inequality, knowing those things helps to understand better what happened in those five days, i can hel

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

the american jim has never really existed specifically for african-americans because black americans have been in the u.s. for over 500 years. when i would ask your guest is this, what other group of people i've had to experience over 450 years of being terrorized, 250 years of slavery, 100 years of jim crow, decades of bad public policy decisions which disrupted the healthy life developing, and crow?e jun new jim frasca and americans, those folks who made it, they did have to make a way out of no way. -- for those americans, those folks who have made it, they did have to make it out of no way. reificatio reunification or advancement that was never, ever given to african-americans. residue.ay, we see the with the country has done is left this legacy of an urban underclass. connect isn dream -- never doubt with african-americans. your take is these new immigrants you talked about have jumped the line ahead of african-americans? caller: what i'm saying is there volunteer immigrants. they came on their own. they don't have the legacy of all of the hundreds of years of slavery and jim cr

of americans that served in the war. about 4,800,000 americans were in uniform by the end of the war in june of 1919. to illustrate the variety of insignia that were worn on the american uniforms we've now moved over to the model 1917 u.s. service coats that were worn by the majority of the soldiers in the army during the war. one of the insignias that i'm standing by is the standing buffalo. this was a very important insignia and it was worn by the african-american soldiers of the 92nd division, and there were two african-american divisions in the war, 92nd and 93rd. both of them were segregated from the rest of the army. most of the soldiers, of course, were african-americans and most of the officers were caucasians. even though they fought alongside their compatriots in the war and fought along -- especially along with the french during the war, they were segregated and were not treated very well throughout the course of the war. as we progress through the museum into the rest of the american section, we're going to l

[cheers and applause] >> sean: the president spoke about lowering taxes.se please lower taxes and stop burdening us. watch this. >> my administration is working every day to heed and honor the will of the voters. that includes working on one of the biggest tax cuts in american history and actually, if i gets what i want, it will be the single biggest tax cut in american history. [cheers and applause] >> we have the highest taxes anywhere in the world. this will bring them down to onm of the lowest. we have no choice. we will have growth. we will have everything we dreamed of having. it's time to let americans keep more of their own money. it's time to bring new companies to our shores and to create a new era of growth, prosperity and wealth. >> sean: agr great idea. get americans back to work and off food stamps. republicans, what do you stand for? the

i know the american people will also be watching. and again we need to do everything possible to make sure more people vote, not to make it harder for americans to vote. >> with that, we'd be happy to answer any questions that you all have. >> david smith. do you feel as concerted effort to target african american voters in particular given the majority of the democratic? >> yes. anybody else? >> i think it's no coincidence that the target has been in vulnerable communities of color. brown and black communities all across this nation. but we can't under estimate the fact that the disabled and our senior citizens and young folks are also disadvantaged as well. and i think if you take nothing away from this press conference, i hope that you take away the fact that we as elected officials should be about making it easier for people to vote, not harder. and the fact that the trump administration put this forward that there would be other issues, instead of asking for personal identification, it is a travesty, and i think the person peopl

the police did not have a good relationship with the american -- african-american community at that time. there had been a number of for decades about racist police brutality. the police are bringing people out. it is sunday morning but still dark outside. 80 degrees. nobody had air-conditioners, particularly people in the poor neighborhoods. so a lot of people come outside, 80 degrees outside is about 100 degrees inside. initially, people are curious. but as time goes on, take so -- it takes so long to bring the people out of this club and put them in paddy wagons and police cars, the crowd starts to get a hostile, particularly because of the history of police brutality in the city of detroit. it has been a long issue in the city of detroit. many of the people here were displaced by black bottom the , historic african-american neighborhood here, and they were forced to move here after that neighbor and, urban renewal happened that day freeway was built to destroy that neighborhood so you had that issue. you had discrimination at job sites. discrimination and some of the shops and restau

cancer society, american heart association, american academy of family physicians. american academy of pediatrics. federation of hospitals, catholic health negotiation. american lung association. the cystic fibrosis association and american nurses association. in other words, virtually every major health care organization does not want to see this bill passed. the american people overwhelmingly do not want to see this bill passed. so how come it might pass? people don't want it. health care organizations don't want it. who wants it? i tell you who wants it? people are going to get tax breaks. they think it's a great idea. billionaires who got 200 billion in tax breaks from the house bill, they think it's extraordinary. so what if 23 million people lose their insurance from the house bill. 1%, 200 billion in tax breaks. large health care corporations like it. the insurance companies, the drug companies, they're going to get combined hundreds of billions of dollars, i tell you who else likes it. those people associated with the koch brothers spending hundreds of milli

we are committed to frame the american people from the onerous obamacare mandate which requires americans to purchase insurance that they may not want or can't afford. we're committed to improving the affordability of health insurance which keeps getting more expensive under obamacare and we're committed to preserving access to care for americans with preexisting conditions. and we're committed to strengthening medicaid for those who need it most by giving states more flexibility while insuring this that -- ensuring that those who rely on this program don't have the rug pulled out from under them. mr. president, the american people have suffered under obamacare for long enough. it's time to give them some relief and recognized. mr. nelson: thank you, mr. president. i want to speak on behalf of a group of floridians that i have met with that would be tremendously hard hit by the health care bill, whether it be the one that has already been published by the majority leader or some of the iterations that are being discussed. i want to talk on behalf and be the spokesperson for these people w

become american colony. north vietnam was battered. the united states had been heavily arming around ho chi minh trail in the capital. they had hit -- they had been hurt by it. it had slowed their ability to mount offenses. so the war was kind of at a stalemate. hue was kind of an oasis in the war as it is the traditional capital of the united the non-. -- in the united vietnam. 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 and intellectual, and 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? is in the center. if you look at the city, it is kind of like someone had a belt its waist and tightened it. hue sits right and that very narrow center. at the time when it was divided, it was near the

messer: john mccain is an american hero. there are times he says things i agree with another times he says things i do not agree with. no one ever questions his patriotism, his dignity, whether he is somebody who loves his country. he has literally given blood, sweat, and tears to the cause. first we think about john mccain and his health. beyond that, it creates further challenges in the senate. i'm sure we will talk about this quite a bit in the next 25 minutes. right now, we are not where we want to be. as republican leaders. there has been a lot done for the last six months but it's difficult to get major items through the senate if you don't have a full team over there. shiobhan: how problematic will it be for republicans if they are unable to pass legislation repealing the affordable care act this year? rep. messer: we promised the american people we would repeal obama care and replace it with something better and that is what we need to do. as president trump said, there is no other acceptable option. the reason is be

in american history. filly wheatley was enslaved 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 under the name of wheatley. the daughter taught her to read and write. she has a real natural talent for writing verse. of course at the time, this was an extraordinary development. so much so that there were those she began publishing pieces ott news paper and they began to be circulated. there was actually a trial held in boston where john hancock and other significant figures in the community were brought together to basically put her on trial, ask her questions to try to determine if it was possible this african-american woman could have written poetry like this. of course she passed and they wrote a testimonial saying they believe she, in fact, had been the talented writer who produced this poetry. in 1773, she traveled to london and this volume was published. it's also remarkable in that we have an engraved image, presumably a good

it has no intention, no interest in any particular known americans. if it, instead, went to the fisa court and said there are particular known americans whose communications we are hoping to read as a result of this collection, then the government would have to get a warrant. so, to me, warrantless backdoor searches are a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the reverse targeting prohibition. i will also say as a constitutional matter this is only quite recently been looked at by any courts outside of the fisa court, but the notion that once data is seized, the fourth amendment is done and the fourth amendment doesn't apply to any leader searches is actually not correct. you can tell by analogies to criminal cases in which data may be seized under a warrant but if the government wants to conduct a separate search later for different reasons, it actually does have to go get another warrant, even though it's already collected data and it's sitting lawfully in the government databases and i can provide that case law. >> based on the board's ana

in terms of the draft, in 1942, 90 3% of americans thought the draft -- 93% of americans. the draft was fair. at the end of the war, ebony 9% 79%ght it was fair -- thought it was fair. it is strange when you think about the way that men lost the ability of their choices. it is significant in terms of -- was drafted, divert deferred or exempted. it is not about in terms of we need armors were someone to manage the bureaucracy, fathers were exempted. men who were married and had a dependent were exempted for quite a long time. this was after they were drafting people who were illiterate, after the drafted single men. this was a social decision that fatherhood and preserving the emily was critically important and those men -- and was critically important and those men would put into a category. it did not mean those men did not volunteer. it is being designed, it is not simply how do we get enough people into the military, it is also thinking about who is exempted and why and how that mirrored values of society. mark: let's move that forward to the 1960's of vietnam. obviousl

the american government could not be trusted and the american government did not trust the american people. now take for moment what the warren commission might have asked had it been aware of the cia's attempts to assassinate fidel castro, all the questions that have become fodder for conspiracy every could have been explored in a thorough, high-level, professional investigation while the evidence was still fresh. did castro know about the cia's plot to get him? did he retaliate against kennedy? was also walled working for -- oswald work for the cubans? did he have a couple assist? -- did he have accomplices? were exiles involved? --s you aim also enlisted cia also enlisted the help of the mafia and woodside were they on? all of those questions and more were relevant and material to the issue of whether oswald acted alone. none of those could have been investigated adequately without knowing the cia engaged the mafia and anti-castro cubans to kill fidel castro. the obvious question to me, how the cia's omissions relate to this idea of double government? think about this in considering thr

hard working americans. and just as the chairman has pointed out the complexity of the tax code, and of course your recognition and all the people on the panel's recognition of how complex the tax code is, at least 15,000 changes since 1986, i think your words simplify and rationalize, rationalize is the word that really caught me, we're looking for a rational approach to this and simplify. this certainty -- because i think it would provide certainty, would help americans invest, grow and hire across this country. and provide for their families. and i'm just interested in hearing from you, mr. chairman, what do you think permanence means for the average american worker? they look at the tax code, it's so pli -- complicated. if we could just explain permanence, 15,000 additions, tax extenders and all this other stuff going on, what does that really mean for the american people, do you think? >> i think it would depend on the economic status of each of the americans. the more that an american has to rely or de

and it's a problem for older americans. our older americans whose rates would go way up. for example, a man six years old earning $20,000 you currently pays $80 a month for health care, and affordable policy. under the republican trump care bill that would go to $570 a month. a challenge to my colleagues. find me someone earning $20,000 a year who can pay $570 a month for health care. finite individual and defender plan on the floor of the senate and why that is an equivalent from taking health care away from that individual. and then of course, we have the issue of preexisting conditionsg high school thought all or maybe softball or gymnastics are wrestling and they carry it with them their entire lives. or maybe something develops further on in life. maybe asthma or diabetes or an episode of cancer. and now they have a preexisting condition. under our old health care system, prior to 2009, 2010, they could acquire insurance unless they were fortunateet enough to get it through their job, which millions of americans do not get it through their work place. so they were ou
