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

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 ails 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 aid and adviser to three different presidents the 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 gif rd 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 sacred court ship 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. >> i do solemnly swear that i will suppo

it was a shameful day for america. we refused to stand up for our friend 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. and i'm proud to say it has not happened again. 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 have absolutely no patience for bullying. 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 and my brother and sister and i were always grateful for the support that surrounded us. but that didn't 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 an anti-bullying program. every month i went to schools throughout the state to talk about bullying. for me, it was just so fu

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

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. 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. they lot of americans could not see the difference between the vietnamese and chinese because they all looked alike. gooks and slants. that is something we are all getting better at. were not veryere many asians in this country so they did not know the difference. the part of it was that we did not study the

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

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

one narrative america, or as bill rile lee call it is traditional america. heterosexual, christian and white. in this version of america, unity can only flow from cultural uniformity and multiculturalism as a threat and a impediment identity. outsiders or aliens not inher tors of the american dream and citizens must be protected from outsiders. and all those who challenge and be protected from those who challenge that traditional national identity. this is the america that screams i want my country back and we need to make america great again. in the other narrative, the one referenced in almost every one of barack obama's speeches starting with his 2004 keynote, the one that there was not a black american, or red, or white but just the united states of america. that vision is inclusive with regard to race, gender, religion and sexuality. diversity can be a strength. and that now, later in the presidency, he said that those born in other countries and came here as children or adults can be legit inhere tors of the american dream. as bill's version of america

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
