when the americans enter the war. he, too, also was involved in intelligence in the 1920s and '30s. he did some adventuring in ethiopia and central asia, collected a number of wives and again, minded his trust fund. but dave king was also looking for a way to get involved in the war. so staff reed and dave king are sent to casablanca to inspect the shipments that are going to arrive as part of the north african trade agreement. they are posted first as vice consuls in the consulate. even though they worked for the state department, it's very clear to everybody, the french, the americans, the british, that they were also going to be spies. the americans did not have an intelligence network in north africa. the americans had for decades, centuries, really, relied on the british and the french to provide any intelligence that it needed about north africa. it just wasn't a sphere of interest for the americans. so they didn't have contacts, they didn't have people on the ground. dave king and staff reed become basically th

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

these were the greatest american in american history '. they founded our country. that's why they're cold the founding fathers. i don't see hoe anybody wouldn't be interested in them job but there's so many founding fathers. >> and i'm trying to get through them. i've done -- i'm working on the 26th right now.

[inaudible question] >> that's lightfoot. harry lee was his have no few, hero in the revolutionary war, great commander and later became governor of virginia and was the father of robert e. lee. >> is there a book on the family history? a history on the family? >> yes, loads of boo

we have to protect the american people and the american people ourselves. we start protecting at home, we'll get stronger and stronger. that's biggest thing we need to do democrats, republicans, everybody, we need to take care of each other and this is a beginning of something very good , take care of our job the countries that don't like us, take our money but still don't like us. we need to protect everybody home, we can do everything among ourselves, take care of ourselves, all our people in the great united states of america and we can do that with stuff like, things like this host: you talked about home what about at home there in fwreevel, what impact do you think it'll have? caller: we're in eastern north carolina so we're kind of eastern part of the state is behind the rest of the state, i'm talking about myself now, i've been here a long time. not talking bad about it but that's the way it goes. we had big strbak in the time but we lost that. i think it's just going to help, it's going to trickle down from when you take care of the big steel compan

, black americans. he wanted to talk to douglas about this emancipation problem, and he floated a trial balloon on douglas. he asked douglas, looking eye to eye in lincoln's white house and lincolnto eye, asked douglas if he would be interested in setting up a scheme, a plan, to final slaves out of the upper south, as many as possible before election day, under the auspices of the army. would have to be the head of it and the recruiter of all these other agents, and the scheme was that douglass would recruit a couple of dozen agents to make this happen with the help of the army. lincoln's apparent idea was to get as many slaves behind our lines and as legally free, before george mcclellan wins this election in the fall and democrats take over on a piece platform, -- ap's platform -- a peace platform, or a negotiated peace with the confederates. in effect, lincoln looked douglas in the eye and asked him to be a legal john brown. frankly, there is some evidence of this, it is not hard fact that i think do

live next tuesday and wednesday, on c-span and american history tv on c-span 3. >>> american history tv was recently at ford's theater in washington, d.c. for the 21st annual symposium hosted by the abraham lincoln institute, and ford's theater society. next, michael burlingame, author of abraham lincoln: a life. he talks about the president's treatment of african-americans visiting the white house, and those he met during his travels. this is about 50 minutes. >>> my name is gordon leidner, i'm on the board of the abraham lincoln institute, and i am also very much an admirer of the scholarly works of our next speaker. michael burlingame holds the chancellor ni chancellor -- where he joined the faculty in 2009 after teaching for 33 years at connecticut college in new london. he was born and raised in washington, d.c. he wouldn't give me the exact date. but he did say it was slightly after the famously unfortunate event in this theater. he is a graduate of princeton and johnson hopkins universities, at both of which he studied under david herbert donald. his books include "abraham lin

tends to all americans you know white americans asian americans the idea of you know if you're irish or korean or whatever there's a romanticized like connection to where you're from and as african-americans even though our immigration story is vastly different there is a yearning to have the romanticized connection to to africa and that is i think when you get to africa and you now have the reality just i guess the reality if you go to any country that remand the size notion needs to kind of fall away and you have to do the legwork you have to know a lot about the continent the place you're going and all the all that inanimate so that you can fully immerse yourself in and i think he made a good point though for the younger generation when the going over there that's very very prone to have the romanticize ideas of what africa is and they're the culture shock and then you know the africans actually have to now you know get the americans to come to realize this is what the country is like this is what's happening and i think the sooner we can have a more realistic view of our struggle

s, seven out of 10 americans. others say it was only 20%. that would be two out of 10. i think both of those estimates are extreme, extremely high or extremely low. i think the best guess is about one third, about 30%, 33%, about a third of americans were living in poverty, living lives of real privation, of real economic difficulty. in addition to those numbers, those people, another 20% were near the line, maybe above poverty but it was pretty rough, it was, life was a struggle for them. so, what do you notice from this wage chart? what do you notice? how do the farm workers' wages look? >> they look similar to the unskilled workers, but they are based on seasonal work in their per year total is significantly lower than even the unskilled workers. prof. mccrossen: that is right. you see their yearly total of $357, down to $294, those are poverty wages. it's estimated in the 1920's, i am not sure if i agree, but it's estimated it took $2500 a year for a household to live a decent standard of living. we can see, e

he meant about every native american leader of the time. -- met every american native -- native american leader of the time. when he met with them, he exchanged belts with them, drank with them. these are not images of george washington we have in our collective memory, which is of a stiff and formal individual, in a black velvet suit. he was doing this because washington new -- knew what history is forgotten, and that native americans were fundamentally important to the history of the republic. they were fundamentally important to its survival. at a time when the american nation was still precarious, indian power mattered. george washington understood that indian power and alliances were a central 2 -- were essential to his nation, as they were surrounded by the british and the north and the spanish and the south and the indigenous power to the west. washington understood, knew about the west, more than others. fundamental to george washington's life was an interest in, obsession with, western lands. western lands is how they are usually described. i would substitute western land for in

it was a huge american victory. by the night of march 23rd, everyone could predict it was an american victory. did we western, did we lose. it was pretty clear this was an american victory. as well as german prisoners of war, it was a stunning american victory, the movie does a pretty good job. those are american tanks. they did get the he-111s flying through the valley. a.j. who was there, said, you know, if we could whip one german division, we can whip any german division. the problem is, the germans don't have a lot of divisions left. we recognized the fact that the germans were expending a wasting asset in on the steps of russia, and they weren't going to replace these guys, any guy they killed here wasn't going to come back. that could be a staff officer, a general officer. in the beginning of may, that's what happened. when the german pocket is squeezed and they fall, and you're talking about a quarter of a million soldiers are wiped off the table of battle from the german army, it was a huge victory. for the

in the south, the americans. further south, a small group of fighting french had completed its historic 1500-mile march and taken up positions on the left flank of the british eighth army, behind which barrier the army had entrenched itself. tunisia was full of german troops, 15 full divisions. battle-wise veterans of poland, france, the balkans, they, together with seven italian divisions, were armed with the most modern types of equipment, including the newest fighters and bombers. the german orders were hold tunisia at all costs. keep control of the mediterranean. standing behind his line, he saw he must soon be faced with an attack as well as an assault by the eighth army. it was an endeavor to remove the menace behind him. on february the 14th, the blow was struck. heavy armored columns burst out of the pass in the mountained area and through into the valley beyond. in the face of their onslaught, allied armor withdrew. by the 21st, the enemy had forced his way through the pass, and his armored columns were

was it too disorganized the americans? -- to disorganize the americans? when you look at their propensity to continue to maneuver as much as possible, they probably could have gotten to the coast and cut off the supply line to the british and american army. the french, and a bunch of colonial forces. i am sure he would have done that. have cut off that pocket and captured all of those forces. when you read about the design of this offensive, it is unclear to me what exactly his ultimate objective was. far with combat power to secure the entire tunis bridghead, against also montgomery coming up -- to me, it was ill-conceived. reppos were ultimate goal -- what is your ultimate goal? he was probably hoping for a reaction. maybe he thought the british and americans would hold back. maybe he could buy more space and time to evacuate. i am sure roberts would have a better answer than me. >> rob is nodding his head. we have a question. we do have the microphone right for anyone in the center. can you comment on the comparability of the battalion commanders, the

33% of americans approve of him. my view is the reason why he's in pittsburgh is this is a seat donald trump picked up by 0 points. now it's neck-and-neck because of the president's rhetoric. >> it's not because of the president's rhetoric. these candidates -- it's a special election. and there is only one poll that counted and it's last november. the american president is there. don't let the special election fool you. ask republicans in 2006. >> that's why republicans in congress are retiring like it's going out of style. judge jeanine: richard, stop. would you deny that the economy is in much better shape since donald trump has been there. >> i give the president his marks on the economy. i will praise the president when he needs to be parades. but overall across the board he's unpopular with most of americans. >> he was unpopular when he won the electoral college. we are absolutely pushing an america first agenda. >> i'm glad you admitted he is unpopular. >> those are the polls. the polls are always wrong. we saw

now does the americans turn. the americans by far bragged that there's want the best fighting the wehrmacht. a typical week perhaps. when i first started studying this stuff i would hear about the kasserine pass defeat. it is hard to hear about a retreat when the enemy commander actually pulled back. it was a wake-up call about the seriousness of purpose eyes wide open when you're in contact with the germans, all good lessons to learn. but a defeat it definitely wasn't. the use of artillery is improvisation at the time. we were never forced to double up on anti-aircraft gun and make it an anti-tank gun at the same time. question on the ground floor with bob wolf here. are you going to ask us in english, bob? >> you mentioned the technical aspects of the artillery. would you want to comment on the manpower situation where the artillery and the air force careened off the category one and two men, leaving the infantry disproportionately whatever. >> well, that was a diplomatic way to put it. it is a good question. t

families american workers and american businesses. this president has made it clear that his first priority is keeping the american people safe. he has also made it clear that he will not tolerate unfair trading practices that weaken our internal economy to the point where they threaten to impair our national security. i initiated the steel and aluminum 232 investigations in april 2017. and the president signed two memorandums that month, directing me to proceed expeditiously to conduct these investigations and report my findings. i submitted my reports to the president in january. the reports found that high levels of import penetration are adversely impacting the economic welfare of our domestic steel and aluminum industries. we have seen plants closed or idle with attendant loss of jobs, skilled workers and research and development. the reports also found that global excess capacity is a circumstance that makes it likely that continued high level of imports would cause further closures. this all would place the united states at ris

and that's important, because we do not want to impose costs on the american workforce, on the american people. but i think that's only part of the question. washington likes to measure. they like to say, we have taken off "x" billion dollars in burden, and that's really important to measure and it's easy to measure. but here is the question that i'd ask all of you. what is the cost in terms of liberty? and that's a lot harder to talk about because that's qualitative, it's not quantitative put need to make judgments. but ultimately one of the things that makes america great is freedom is liberty, that we should not be regulated unless there's a real need for that regulation. so.

the american workers, american taxpayers, i think are really tired of feeling like second-class citizens in their own country, like they are the interlopers as illegal immigrants to legally demand rights and legal benefits. that dynamic is starting to change because of president trump. we americans and all you hardworking illegal immigrants out there must demand that lawmakers stop protecting the lawbreakers and start protecting us, and that's the "angle" ." joining me now for reaction is lieutenant brian mcgregor with a police department. he is investigating the attempted kidnapping incident involving an illegal alien with a machete at that walmart that we just told you about. and in alabama, the sister of amy hawkins, who we just told it was allegedly killed by an illegal immigrant, jose luis alonso-de leon, as she was cycling. and baldwin county alabama d.a., who is prosecuting ms. hawkins' alleged killer. let's start with you, this broke my heart to hear this story coming out of alabama. i actually learned about it because one of my radio listeners called in to my show and said a col

yes, sir. >> given the problems of coordination, close air support, american air, american ground, what was the experience in trying to coordinate close air support from allied air forces? >> so, that was -- the way it was set up, the idea was that the british would support the british forces, american would support the american forces initially. now as the american effort sort of declines, it winds up that -- right after the kasserine battle -- remember when romel shows up so does cunningham. it is integrated into the force that's were fighting. now it's the north african air forces. just as doolittle is running, they had very refined capabilities. they had tentacles. the forces already in tunisia, it becomes where any allied aircraft can support ground force. that system gets much better over the course of the war. but it's not there yet. my current project in actually looking at the development of tactical air doctrine and how we go from this to 1944 which is i'm sure many of you know is very effective, probably best ground support we've had up to desert storm. and it is a long proce

i would like to sound the alarm on behalf of the american manufacturing industry. i represent michigan. die face chinese makers who now dominate the market for tools made for american automakers to produce major body sheet metal stamping. these companies in michigan are desperate. they face extinction. they have personally told me the problem with competing china is more than just low wages. they have export credits which refund up to 30% of the cost of tools and their government builds elaborate diee-of-the-art tool and shops full of state-of-the-art equipment and the government also subsidizes training for die makers. as a result of all this, the business is going away and prices for chinese prices are so low that american suppliers cannot afford to buy their major dies from anywhere else. since no work exists here in the united states, the industry has lost approximately 70% of its company and 80% of the skilled jobs. one michigan company before the chinese onslaught advises me that they employed 350 people. this is a major company, one of the last remaining and

anybody that knows anything about politics knows if you're talking about the american worker and american jobs, whether you can deliver this big bill that karl is talking about it. if you're talking about it, the headlines tomorrow is trump is talking about infrastructure, american jobs, you're winning the narrative. at a time when republicans are gonna lose elections, this gives them gravity and momentum to have a message. because the economy is doing good. stock market is doing good. this is perfect for a narrative for a party that's seeing their backs against the wall. >> dana: tim, are republicans sort of counting on the fact that democrats are conceding so much ground on the policy angle and talking a lot about all sorts of different things, russia in particular. it's certainly not the one that voters are going to be paying attention to if the president is talking about infrastructure. >> right, dana. it was smart for the president to also take a victory lap on his tax cut, tax reform bill. he also brought up a lot of regulatory reform. it was smart to keep talking about his accompli

over here, two million american vietnamese -- >> that's different, yes. >> vietnamese american. americans of vietnamese descent, that is a scar that has to be healed. i have worked very hard on it over the years. if you are a south vietnamese army veteran in vietnam, you are not a veteran. you have no veteran status. that's one thing i started working on in the '90s. >> explain that. >> you have no veteran status. ironically, it's a little bit like the confederate army after the civil war. that's how states rights got so big. my family is from that part of the country. you are not recognized as a veteran. they were getting no medical care, those sorts of things. and the cemeteries for the arvn, south vietnamese, were allowed to fall apart. there is a big cemetery outside of saigon where they put the word "traitor" over the cemetery where these thousands of south vietnamese soldiers who had been killed. and that needs to be healed. we did this in this country after the civil war. it took a long time, but we did it. there is a confederate memorial in the arlington national cemeter

how does that work lacks that is the genius of american higher education. thank you for a wonderful presentation. the parallels to the early century were fascinating and particular but you can also see why that may have been the case with. they seldom crushing economic depression, so while many of us in the room know what the usual suspects are for the disruption of higher ed would you care to speculate on what some of the greatest forces for change might be on the horizon that most people are not paying attention to? [laughter] >> >> i will get my crystal ball out. i'm chairing a group at my college thinking about liberal arts education ten years out from now and one of our questions we are trying to ask is what are the forces that are going to affect higher education that will need to change the number one item on my list in response to that question they would continue to grapple with the kinds of strategies that develop in the united states and it's important for us to keep in mind when we talk about the socioeconomic inequality we are talking about dol

if he does anything with respect to guam or any place else that's an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> yeah, fury and fire for rocket man. and here's something the abusively bias news media will never tell you. polls by north korea. take a look. >> these people in three or four years are going to have nuclear weapons. they're going to have those weapons pointed all over the world and specifically at the united states. wouldn't we be better off solving -- we can talk about the economy, social security. the biggest problem this world has is nuclear proliferation. everywhere a country out there in north korea, which is sort of whacko. they're going out and developing nuclear weapons. they're doing it for a reason. >> and also tonight we have even more proof, exposing the media's anti-trump agenda. accord to the study, 91% of abc, nbc, cbs's evening news cast coverage about president trump was negative in january and february. 91%. i told you a long time ago, journalism in america is dead.

american man won the melting. of the sack and the radio al. of. bootstrapping anyone can see that america works are 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. change to. begin except to reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have two going to be close which is what before three of the more people. interested in the water. britain's foreign secretary has announced the transfer to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons of nerve agent some polish used in the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter for a week of rising tensions with moscow. in a span of less than a week u.k. russia relations have been pushed to the point of an all out diplomatic war with no one looking ready to back down the screwball poisoning has created this massive divide between the two countries and despite the fact that the investig

we have to buy american and south american to those outside america. and then those that create american jobs. and then we win when we open markets for goods and services to high standards and ambition trade agreements. this has to be our top priority. in japan and u.k. and to have those out of other market you cannot wait any longer while they pass us by. we look forward to your report to show those agreements consistent with those that are good for america as you set out. i am pleased with your progress to modernize the most successful training relationship in the world and your team has worked tirelessly i am hopeful we can vote by the years end. but in those from intellectual property and those harsh restrictive we need solutions procurement to recognize how americans benefit the global supply chain otherwise we lose to china and all kinds of support congress explicitly set out knowing the only way to hold trading partners accountable that what you agreement -- agrees to make them be held accountable. from steel and aluminum to put many americans o

which is most americans in 1857 agreed that african-americans did not have constitutional rights and the overwhelming majority of white americans in 1896 for racial segregation but these were court decisions very consummate with the dominant of the age but our views thankfully have changed since then so are able to criticize this. >> host: the court heard the case in april of 1896 and this is the room inside the capital and the court did not have a home of its own at this point in history where the court said today it is set up as the old court chamber. excuse me, the old senate chamber but the court was meeting in the capital and the space and we will talk about the justices on the court. chief justice was melville fuller, one of three cleveland appointees along with edward bright who was in previously a louisiana senator and later nominated by taft to be chief justice. rufus peckham was nominated by cleveland in his second term in office and the harrison appointees were in these are the republicans: what else should people know about this court? >> guest: harlan is the dissenter in

sally,, center for arab american studies. we recorded this interview at the american historical association annual meeting in washington dc. it is just over 15 minutes. sally teaches history but is also the

97% of the american people. i can't think of any other issue where there's such near universal agreement across our entire population. so let's do what our constituents are demanding from us not the nra is demanding from us and vote to pass universal background check's whenrs we dot let's make sure that the effort is actually sincere. that we are only voting on universal background checks when it's tied to the issue of concealed carry -- then that is not a sincere attempt to fix our broken background check system. if congress says we'll only pass universal background checks we pass a new law that says stranger for one state has had to be allowed into my state or your state when he has a gun hidden under his jacket that is an insult to 97% of the american people who want congress to pass universal background checks now. so let's finally vote to overturn the outrageous law that has banned the centers for disease control from even studying the issue of gun deaths. the cdc can study any other cause of death park dis

american experiment. experiments can fail, as all of us who took science in high school know. experiments can fail. we continue need to reinvent and reinvigorate and renew the american experiment so that it does march on and succeed, like ono was talking about, america is an idea. which family you are born into or which zip code you live in should not predetermined the opportunity to succeed in america, and everyone should have a chance to excel and to learn. there is an american dream. one of the authors in this book is horatio alger. i would not have thought about him, but after a while, as my list got bigger, i thought i have to work on that. brian: tell us about horatio alger. tom: he rubbed in boston and went to harvard. problems in the young ministry where he was active and he was kicked out of boston. a went to new york and had second life writing about teenagers who are fatherless, .rphans who found success his formula was, work hard, to be honest, and to strive, but also get adopted by a mentor.
