america, 1914 to 1924 is an america in transition. it's in transition because of invention because of technology. things people never would have thought upon 20 or 30 years earlier are now part of everyday lives. modern times, let's think about the cell phone. >> it was something very few people had a phone they carried around and all of a sudden it seemed as though everyone did. in america, 1914, for the first time cars are becoming something that are part of your life if you're an ordinary american. henry ford intused the model t in 1908 and the first affordable car for the working class so people can get in the car and go places. even edison with electric light and electric power. you can read if you want to late into the nighten stead of a candle making your eyes tire. edison has moved movie theatres really into creation because for the first time a lot of people can sit in a darkened room and watch on a screen. so young people can listen to music and they can dance in ways they hadn't before, but at the same time you have older f

where america is essentially a hospital but a predatory hospital masquerading as a country so something like 19 percent of our g.d.p. is hospital care is medical spend is so called health care one of the largest employers in the entire nation is the health and history mostly low you know paid sort of help staff and health care facilities like cleaning cleaning the floors and changing nappies and stuff like that and they get paid like minimum wage but here's a story that went viral probably many people out there watching this saw it and that was in los angeles l.a.p.d. officer saw this woman and clearly a homeless woman with carrying her you know her shopping cart full of her belongings in the metro system there and she was singing this beautiful offer which we won't play because it probably copyrighted but it turns out mysterious viral l.a. subway singer is revealed as classically trained musician who is made homeless by medical bills and had her 10000 dollars violin stolen when she was forced out into the streets so this is the reality of america this is why so many people live paychec

captain america number one. this is the actual real captain america number one. it came out long before the attack on pearl harbor, and we talked about in class that jack kirby, the people who produced what would later be the marvel comics line of comics. they had a number of names back in the day. they said, you know we are trying to make a statement about isolationism. make america leave them alone. we don't need to get involved in the war. there are folks who said, since when did hilter leave anybody alone if he had the chance to invade them. we need a hero that will express the need to fight hitler. there was a concern because hitler was a dictator who might get killed at any time, that by the time this comic book hit the stands, that hitler might already be dead. they thought, that might not be a work outcome. let's put it out anyway whether he is alive or dead by the time it hits the stands. if you look at the captain america movie again, what the movie makers did was come up with a fictional in comic book universe, in plot reason why this image became so p

[applause] i've heard responses for two different questions that is what was a very historical and historically informed argument i want to ask you a question as informed by the question tonight which is that america has a christian founding and my question to both of you is the following why does it matter if at all to ask this question. any good constitutional order will pull people back to the first principles. it's incredibly important that we think about the principles upon which the constitutional republic was founded. and i would contend for the political reflection they were very important we need to understand these principles it's nothing to do with whether or not this one is true or false doing so he presents a form of

up the life expectancy in america is down so i mean clearly this is not working now actually when i reach we did this somebody responded who wouldn't should use insurance. so we're going to cover that what actually happens for those like ourselves say we pay 25000 dollars 26000 dollars a year for a health insurance product one thing to note is that only most health insurance products the vast majority in america only cover in network well when your health insurance provider negotiates network price. says with a very particular hospital or particular you know doctor but did you know that most of those hospital emergency rooms and many doctors and many hospitals are actually owned by private equity and private equity doesn't like the reimbursement rates that even though he's a horrible insurance companies are able to negotiate so they get they make they force all their doctors working in the emergency room or all the ambulances to be out of network so the vast majority of out of network surprise billing is for. an emergency rooms but this past week while everybody's focused on some cr

america came and helped the soviet union used to be the enemy of america, but you came and helped us in new russia. and now ukraine. just think of it. it's historic achievement that they have free and fair elections and there is a new elected president by the overwhelming majority and peaceful transition of the power. and america, the congress voted to help, you know, not for any kind of their side. just to be sure the there is democracy in that part of the world. >> yes. i see what you're saying. >> that's what america is. >> yes, in terms of foreign policy, there are deals. you're saying there are deals and expectations. not in terms of needing help with vanquishing a political rival. but another question that i have for you since you watch this all so closely in 1992 as foreign minister, what do you make of president trump wanting to be close to vladimir putin and seeming to make special deals with him and have special conversations? what is all of that through your lens? >> well, at best, it's naivete. but after three years in power, the naivete is a little bit too much. sometime

you are disrespecting america. and this guy can't bring himself when he's standing next to vladimir putin to say i believe my intelligence agencies, not you, former head of the kgb. that is our president. and so, i, look, he is a menace. [applause] we cannot take that for granted. he is believed to be committed impeachable offenses but i have a problem with just do your duty whether he benefits or not. a democratic responsibility for this person to be a one term president in this country and that is what our focus should be and however it is we need to do that, that's what we ed to do. >> given all the things you have said doesn't it give -- there's a story in the book that is one of the saddest stories i know about what happened to the judges over the last ten years. that's the story being relevant to sleep strategic and i'm not saying you i'm saying not being relentlessly strategic but in the middle of that is something i can't trump up the strategy it's what he did with merrick garland. if that is where we are g

[applause] that's how we make structural change. let me give you one more idea for making structural change. it's time for a wealth tax. [cheers an applause] and mark zuckerburg, i'm still looking at you. all right. so here is the idea behind the wealth task. just so everybody gets this. your first $50 million is free and clear. i see people say, oh. you're in. you're good. you're good. ok. yeah, people say, ok, i can do business with this woman. she's reasonable. ok. first $50 million free and clear, but then your first dollar after $50 million, you have to pitch in two cents, and two cents on every dollar after that. and just so everybody understands about a wealth tax, anybody in here own a home or grow up in a family who own a home? yeah, you've been paying a wealth tax. they just call it a property tax. all i'm doing different is for the guys who are really rich is to say your property tax is not just your real estate, it's also your stock portfolio, the diamonds, the rembrandts,

we all ask god to bless america. god bless america. what is america? america is that constitution which is genius of checks and balances, republic come if we can keep it. the bill of rights and all the freedoms contained therein, that's part of -- what is america? if you were blessed to be born and native american and that's a blessing for you and all of us to know you and a blessing for our country, we are a nation of immigrants. they are dishonoring the constitution, degrading our environment. what is america? denigrating the people, degrading our environment, beautiful gift of god from cetus shining sea and beyond, a denial of our climate and the rest. then it's just degrading the environment. what is america? where principle, an idea, a vision. we are something very special in the world and what to with the campaigns and social media to lessen the confidence of americans, , confidence in our election, confidence in themselves that they can be whoever they want to be, diminished the prospect of the american dream. we cannot let them, , we cannot let

is that an america that is great? america has abandoned that role and the power it brings. president trump has chosen to stand with assad, a tyrant who has gassed his own people with chemical weapons and murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and caused the extraordinary refugee challenge that the europeans have and chosen to play into the hands of iran. president says iran is now our friend. he is right. we plaid into his hand with this action. in summary, mr. speaker, the president's actions empower isis, betray our kurdish allies, embolden russia, reward the assad regime, benefit iran and endanger israel. these developments were sadly predictable. experts like brend and kirk and secretary mattis said this is not the right thing to do. this is not a partisan issue. this is about america. this is about our allies. this is about international security and stability. from the moment the president made clear he wanted to abandon america's strategic interests in syria, mcguirk and secretary mattis expressed their opposition. these developments concern the worst f

but in america, to be quite honest with you, what i enjoy most is irish america. because it's a phenomenon i didn't really understand. unlike many of my colleagues who served here as junior diplomats, then came back later on, steeped in that understanding of irish america, i wasn't. i'd never been in america before. i lived in kansas city, of all places. i shouldn't say that, kansas city is a great place. i still follow the chiefs and keep an eye on the royals. [laughter] so, i didn't really know america, apart from being here on holidays a few times and being on official business, which is you go to new york and washington and that's about it. uplifted,really been coming across people who maybe four or five or more generations removed from our country, and yet still feel some affinity for ireland, some affection for ireland, admiration for ireland, affiliation with ireland. and that's a tremendous experience, for somebody like myself representing a smaller nderful in this wo colossus of a country. is not to be undervalued in any way, because most embassies don't

, despite the fact that millions of people were already living in north america upon his arrival in the americas, and despite the fact that columbus never set foot on the shores of the current united states. columbus enslaved, colonized, mutilated, and massacred thousands of indigenous people in the americas." the movement to replace columbus day gained momentum in 1992 -- the 500th anniversary of columbus' arrival -- when berkeley, california, became the first city to make the change. earlier protests inspired the movemement, including the annunl national day of mourning in plymouth, massachusetts, held on thanksgiving to challenge the myth of peaceful coexistence between native people and the english settlers, the pilgrims. today, native american

a massive british flag planted across that expanse of north america. that dream lasts about five seconds. it continues to be embodied in our maps like this that show the british conquest of north america in the seven years war, but of course native people have other ideas, and one of the results of that is a connected but decentralized set of wars that we conveniently lumped together as pontiac's war from 1763 to 1765, in which native people rose up against the british throughout this territory the british claim to have conquered, and if nothing else proved to them they remain a huge part of this balance of power between british colonists, the british empire, and native people. what results is a reestablishment of a balance embodied in the british policy known as the proclamation of 1763, which at least in theory draws a line down the appellation mountains and says british people must remain east of those mountains. arearea in the interior lands reserved for indians. which is an interesting grammatical construction because the british crown still claim

is that in america the idea is that if you lose a job in america the idea is that if you lose a job you're in between jobs in europe the idea is working you're in between jobs in europe the idea is working is a period where you're in between vacations you know having lived in europe for almost 20 years is a period where you're in between vacations you know having lived in europe for almost 20 years and you see it particularly in countries like france where the whole and you see it particularly in countries like france where the whole objective of getting up in the morning is to figure out how to get more time off how to be on the objective of getting up in the morning is to figure out how to get more time off how to be on vacation and work is considered evil and considered a complete waste of time and imitation and work is considered evil and considered a complete waste of time in america it's the opposite people don't even take all the days off that they're given they love to work americans lark it's the opposite people don't even take all the days off that they're given they love

so america is diminished. russia, iran, and assad are strengthened. and so i ask how and why this decision was reached. i serve on the foreign relations committee and given the syria decision taken by the administration, i might be forgiven for wondering why our committee even exists. i say this because apparently the decision to leave syria was made without consultation with the committee or even with the committee chairman and ranking member. just three weeks ago our subcommittee held hearings to receive an extensive analysis of the conditions and the way forward in syria. it was presented to us by the serious study -- syria study group, a bipartisan, congressionally mandated commission tasked with the assessment of the conditions in syria and to provide recommendations for america's strategy going forward. so far as i'm aware, the administration made no effort to contact those who attended that hearing or to speak with the syria study group to be able to understand the content and their extensive -- in their extensive published report. i asked whet

we find evidence that there has been more political discord in america. i said how about going to fort sumter, south carolina where the fighting in the civil war begins. we have gone through periods of real discord, literally a civil war. the parties endured during that and i think they will continue to endure in the episodes we are seeing now. >> host: the title of the book is how america's political parties change. and other republican nominees, they don't seem historically unprecedented. the voice of partisanship, the residual strength of two ancient american parties seem undiminished and stronger than ever. >> guest: look at public opinion polling today, 85%-95% of people identify themselves as republicans say they support donald trump, they support him over potential opponents including my college classmate william well, former governor of massachusetts. they continue to be very strong. the composition of the republican party has changed over time. we have seen even broader divergences, sudden shifts in support of a political party. william jennings

you don't help america's working families by -- people in mexico. the lower their wages are, the lower the companies will go. i had someone in my office yesterday say that -- i'll just be conservative -- 35 factories have closed in the last two years, many of them going out of the country. so if we lift the standards up for everyone, we have a better shot of having a better deal for america's working families, and that's why we're there. we're there for america's working families. i voted for nafta. i had my disappoints about it. i didn't want this to just be nafta plus a little bit. i wanted it to be structurally different in terms of who benefits, starting with american workers. so i'm happy about it, and impeachment has nothing to do with it. it only has to do with our coming to agreement and to terms as far as the house of representatives is concerned 37 as you may understand, i have business on the floor that i have to see to. so i'm going to have to excuse myself. thank you, all, very much. >>> house speaker pelosi finishing her weekly news co

mass are becoming landowners in north america. for thousands of ordinary soldiers, the empire delivered on the promise of liberty and the ability to pursue a new form of happiness. let me finish with one more example about this ironic upside to defeat. i mentioned the new political confidence and willingness to challenge political government, -- challenge british government, but it also displaced senior politicians and the british government. one politician was widely savaged for wielding too much power, yet the war in america drove the career of a senior scottish official who would be of vast influence over imperial policy for decades, namely henry dundalk, an effective lord growing, his influence in the 1770's. it was his refusal to serve in cabinetn they -- the finally convinced the king to abandon the most hawkish minister, the king bringing down the main man who formulated american policy. of control ofn british territories in india, it became a powerful combination of political manager and imperial fixer. everyone -- everyth
