as the national commander in the sacred resting place, arlington national cemetery. the american g.i. forum is a congressionally chartered veterans service organization. representing active duty military, families, veterans for advocacy and civil rights, access to earn benefits, a care, and access to good education. today is the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. let us remember the sacrifices of those veterans who fought in the war to end all wars. let us not forget the 400,000 men and women whose final resting place is here on these hollowed grounds. let us recognize the over 20 million veterans that live among us today. let us reflect on the fact that only 1% of the country serves in the military. let us remember that their service provides the very freedom that everyone in this great country enjoys, daily, without notice. veterans, we, the g.i. forum stand with you and salute you. i encourage each and everyone of you to continue to work together to ensure our military and veterans and military families are always taken care of and heard. i urge each of

with bells across the nation. the independence hall bell rang with others on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in honor of those who served in world war i, and indeed, all wars. today's bell tolling was a solemn nod in a program called "bells of peace" to mark the at 100th anniversary of armistice day. the cessation of fighting in 1918 in what was called the great war to end all wars. pictures of the streets and newspaper headlines i have seen from november 11, 1918 show jubilation and celebration at the promise of peace. indeed, philadelphia joined other cities again this year in hosting a parade last sunday, and national park rangers have enthralled thousands with special programs this weekend. the world war i centennial commission designated our very famous silent bell, the liberty bell, as the honorary bell of peace to commemorate the centennial of armistice day. although the liberty bell cannot literally be rung now, its message of freedom is heard across the nation and indeed, across the world.

pershing lies in the paternity of the nations who are quite dead and the slopes of the arlington national cemetery. his name and memory are part of the enduring tradition that never dies. john joseph pershing, general of the army, like others before him in the long line of american giants, rose to leadership and met its challenges at precisely the moment his country needed him so that the destiny of the two, maine and nation were part of the same momentous adventure. his mission was to create an army and he did. a mighty army without which the great war could not have been one. at the same time an army cast in a unique and authentic american mold, a forerunner of the superbly powerful force which is today a modern army. in this he handed down to his countrymen military pride more than anything else he touched a string of glory in his people and perhaps more than any man in his time he awakened them to a vision of their own greatness. ♪ the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming ♪ so prepare, say a prayer ♪ send a word, to be where ♪ ♪ the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming â

off the dangers of nationalism and of the sort of fanatical nationalism that preceded it will all one how do you weigh the risks well i don't think there will be returning to the pre-war nationalism the national extreme nationalism in the years before nine hundred fourteen before the first world war but there are of course indications that nationalism is on the rise again i mean if you look at some states such as hungry poland and in particular the us america first i mean the writing is on the war and so we should be considered. what lessons should we learn from the mistakes of people. well i think first of course the first world will point and highlights the dangers of nationalism extreme nationalism and imperialism. and second if you look at the at the outbreak of the first world war. you can ruin that what what impact misconceptions misunderstandings between the governments of major powers can have so what you can learn is we need more empathy we need openness we need open diplomacy we need talk we need negotiations we need to understand any of them. you know it's been a century of

on the eve of the helsinki summit the nation published an open letter called for true national security and secure elections it was about securing our elections from interference but it was also about the need to understand the danger we are in the possibility of accidental conflict which we see now whether it's nato on the borders of the baltics in ukraine or in syria and about twenty six who were hurt do you think people like you who are outspoken public figures about the reason not about being friends with my ship but about you know reasonable relations with russia that i was to stay safe i think we were heard we had eminent people like former ambassador jack matlock who was about souter during the reagan years we had former senators we had intellectual leaders we had political and social economic leaders it's very hard to be heard these days sophie but if one doesn't try the role of the nation is to be an alternative dissenting voice and to foster not policed debate and i think that's critical in these times because we've had a degradation of debate. you know it's one thing that pai

the numbers for the reserves and national guard's are even worse. can you tell us a little bit about why that is? and what you are doing to change the perception of joining the army among the communities that you are reaching out to? would say that the does not just an army problem. it is a problem that we have across the armed forces. first of all, we have a great economy. this happens every time we have a great economy. recruiting becomes harder. has a veryhe army high annual need for soldiers. we have to recruit more soldiers each year than all of the other services combined. it is the nature of being a land power. third, and this is a cultural issue, more and more young people in america are less familiar with the military than their predecessors. fewer in their family might have served. we see increasing isolation between the military and the society we serve. that is what troubles me and many others. how do we correct that trend? how do we get in front of it? we believe that the army is a great place to serve. there are wonderful opportunities

today with the cio's across all of the federal agencies focused on the national cybersecurity strategy, and what we're doing, the priorities, and how we tackle some of those things individually, but more importantly, what are the things that we go after together? and what are those priorities? and as goldy said, i want to talk a little bit about modernization and how that relates to cybersecurity. it's a little bit of a chicken and egg kind of discussion. part of the reason that i'm so passionate about modernization and driving it quickly is the way that we become more secure, the way we protect our infrastructure is to have a modern infrastructure. and to not be looking at things that were designed so many years ago, the concepts of -- the basic concepts, like grant said, basic concepts wasn't even envisioned. so i would like to start with the audience participation. and especially in this darkroom where i can't see most of you. how many of you have actually read the national cyber strategy? i will let you raise your hand if you've read the national cyber strategy or the d.o.d. cyber

it is in the national interest for you to fight it? and if you win by only one vote, will you carry on as prime minister? prime minister may: leadership is about taking the right decisions, not the easy ones. as prime minister, my job is to bring back a deal that delivers on the vote of the british people, that does that by ending free movement, all the things i raised in my statement, ensuring we are not sending sums to the e.u. any longer, ending jurisdiction of the european court of justice but also protects jobs and propects people's livelihoods, protects our security, protects the union of the united kingdom. i believe this is a deal which does deliver that, which is in the national interest, and am i going to see this through? yes. next question. microphone. >> prime minister, simon from "five news." surely now even you have to admit this is not strong and stable. prime minister may: what i think people will see is what i and the government have done is being sticking to the job of ensuring we're delivering for the british people

national defense is not a fiscal decision, it is about the priorities for the nation. but i wonder your thought on, we are now in seven or eight countries in combat, maybe a few more. there were a few classified contingencies that just propped up and we do not know where they are. the lack of fiscal constraints, we are funding these things on a credit card, allows the national security decision-makers to get us perhaps involved in places that, were there fiscal restraints or things like a draft or war taxes, that might restrain us for making choices. so it is not just our lack of restraint on the means expands the available ends we can pursue. thank you. maya: that is a great question. because i think you've hit the nail on the head with the problem of all budgeting. if you make the cost of something free, of course it is worth it. we are actually building a tool called is it worth it where you look up what we are spending on, whether it's education, the environment, you see in terms of where you are and how much you pay in taxes, how much it is costing you and your fa

to the creation of confederate national cemeteries, you will notice here the national cemetery is laid out by the state, not by the union, the only national union cemetery that is laid out such as gettysburg because of own unique history. confederate memorial day became as early as may 1866. monument again, began under the auspice of these ladies and soldiers organizations such as the lee camp in richmond. eventually, the united confederate veterans would organize in 1889 and they had reunions, periodicals and the confederate veterans began this in the 1890s, periodicals such as the southern historical society papers. all of these are ways in which they sought to make sure that the next generation has this information and they understood what they were fought for and -- what they fought for. if we cannot justify the south in the act of succession, we will go down in history as solely, brave, and positive, rash people who attempted an illegal manner to overthrow the union of our country. they're always worried about this question as to whether or not they have been treasonous? years aft

roof of the national museum of american history smiley and pointing across the street where the national museum of african american history and culture would be erected. [applause] six years later, in february 20 12, there would be a groundbreaking ceremony. then there would be a design competition, an international design competition where many people submitted their credentials and it was whittled down to six teams, and among those six teams, this was the winning design by a team led by three black architects. that is the winning design. this is what the museum actually looks like on the day of its dedication in september 2016, two years ago. , as what weis slide lawyers would call evidence. to showo ship -- want that my kids did not starve, that my wife did not throw me out of the house. i did go back and get a job. i became a partner at a law firm. and then was honored to be nominated and appointed to the federal bench by president obama.

the constitution recognized tribal nations as domestic southern nations, and -- sovereign nations, and for the first roughly 100 years, the united states government, you know, felt with tribal nations on the treaty basis that you mentioned. directly treating them as governments. that stopped after the civil war. from that point, from the 1870s, '80s, after the plains wars forward, basically federal policy, the treaty positive was done away -- process was done away with, and indian issues were handled by the congress and the president. personally, i would like to see it go back to that process, but if you're asking me what are the odds of that happening in the united states, unfortunately, i would say slim. but we're still living -- i'm not as familiar with the first nations in canada, so i can't speak intelligently on that. i struggle to speak intelligently on end grab case law -- indian case law, because in terms of legal matters the relationship between tribal nations and the federal government is one of c the most complicated legal matters that we have, and i still don't understand

in the south and it was the birth of a nation. and the movie was taking the country by storm. and so this was the scene, the specter during this 50th anniversary in 1915. well, there were people who thought that something needed to be done about that. one person who thought that something should be done about that was, of course, dr. carter g. woodson. here's a headline from early 1916 about how now they are beginning to write negro history celebrating the first edition of "the journal of negro history" and of course the founding of the association for the study of negro life and history in 1915 and scholars have said that dr. woodson was inspired in part to respond to "birth of a nation." but that wasn't the only response. that colored citizens committee that had formed to welcome and host the black civil war veterans decided to form a nonprofit with the money that they had left over and they were going to raise more money and they created what they called the national memorial association to build a permanent physical memorial i

the nation's efforts to counter attacks by terrorist. the psychological impact was perhaps we are not safe once again over here because our adversaries are using our infrastructure against us. the department of homeland security was established. my organization was established as a physical security organization. cybersecurity at the time was a very small piece of the pie. the stories i have heard in the development of the legislation, it was a bit of a fight on cybersecurity and whether it actually deserved a role just in general given the understanding of the threat profile. so the department was established. my organization was established. that brings us forward to 2016. 2016, about this time last year, maybe a little earlier, the russians attempted and in some cases interfered with our presidential election, particularly on the social media side. that was a three-part, well coordinated campaign attempting to hack into our nation's election infrastructure, the voting systems. one is the hacking and leaking across political campaigns.

it gives me the chance to thank the national archives, because of course the national archives administrator, the president's papers, they are seen as belonging to the people of the united states, and the archives administers those papers. so the national archives is a very important part of the bush library. the museum parts, and of course the storage of all the papers that are there at the bush library. so i want to thank the national archives and the archivist and all of you for your important work. and of course, the employees at the bush library. cokie: so you talk about the role of first ladies, and again you say -- you had a very interesting session with those of us who are historians, etc., as you were leaving the white house, so i have written down every word. you said, "every time i spoke out about something come even heart disease, i would be surprised again at how many people heard me. and i often use lady bird johnson's quote about the first lady has a podium, and while she was here, she said i have decided to use it." you quoted her often about that, and you did take that to he
