amen. >> the national museum of the united states army is a joint effort between the united states army and the army historical foundation. the mission of the army historical foundation is to honor the american soldier by preserving and presenting the history and heritage of the united states army. from his home in massachusetts, please welcome the chairman of the army historical foundation, general retired arnold sullivan. >> distinguished guests, friends, and supporters of the army museum, welcome to the opening ceremony of the national museum of the united states army. this museum is a giant tribute to over 30 million soldiers who have served throughout our history as a country. i think it is important we take a moment to remember one soldier in particular. general bill herzog whose recent passing has saddened us all. he was a dedicated soldier who served as chairman of the board for 15 years. trying to keep the campaign to build this impressive museum alive. we are grateful for his enormous effort and offer the deepest condolences to his wife and family. bill, rest in peace. it is m

he seeved the united states congress and he also served in the united states senate. he and his wife were part of james bucanan's administration. when the south left to form their own government they invited jefferson davis to be the first and only president. he would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're in the cell where jefferson davis the else at the conclusion of the civil war. he received word from general robert e. lee that they dmoucouo longer hold the confederate army. he sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis would follow. he would soon catch up with his family below the florida state line if is where a federal mountain unit was placed on his family. he moved back up here to ft. monroe and incarcerated in his very cell. some people and why. he was indicted on three federal charges. one for treason. two for come police sit accompl. he had to be in a place where his last residency occurred and that would be in richmond if is here that he will stay for four months and he will remai

states and what united states is still doing. despite the weakness of its president and its leader, it's still protecting those financial interests and it's still asserting its power across the world to ensure that those financial interests take priority. and of course, this is why we have a world divided between creditors and debtors. wall street to the world of creditors, and the debtors, many of whom are sovereign countries and poor countries, have no voice in all of this and have virtually no power. that system is deeply, deeply unjust, and internationally. and just in the united states is going to have to do something about wall street before we can do something about rebalancing power across the world. and is, i'd like to ask you what if anything, saudi arabia managed to get out of this summit. of course, on the one hand it wants to highlight it's changing society and on the other, how to hopes people. doesn't people forget about the war in yemen? and the murder of a prominent journalist did saudi arabia getting i get to ge

the united states of america. who do we side with, a confederacy that split from the united states, what are the consequences? they offered essentially a better deal. it did not help anything that the united states was not really keeping a lot of its promises during this time period. i don't know if you can imagine that, the united states and the indian tribes, but it happened. the government of the cherokee nation, wanting to remain neutral, was feeling a great deal of pressure from people who said look, the united states is not really living up to its word, and it looks like the seven nurse might have an edge, and the southerners are offering us so much, in terms of treasure, land, and control, maybe we ought to have a better deal with that. so the folks who lined up with the confederacy, they line up with stan wadie. ultimately, john ross signs an agreement with the confederacy. in 1861, i am always looking at jack to make sure i have got the date right, but 1861 is i think when he signed it. he signs it, and e

were done to seize red states and blue states always sees the united states the bible tells us everything there is a season a time to grow tired of repeated time to sew and a time to hear oh this is the time get here on america i. do so on the goal the right words here are the time when deficient is right but it's a tough task. it is going to face a very much an uphill battle he faces a majority republican senate with some states still facing a runoff to see which senators take place take the seats their. concerns. which people were hoping for which the poll numbers working for hasn't materialized what role the has materialized is the scale of polarization in u.s. domestic politics and very much the deep rooted divides trump exposed them 4 years ago in the 26th the election and this election as they very much haven't gone away and ironically as you said all the words from biden but this is a bit of deja vu for many american listeners because we've heard these words before following the 26th election from incumbent president donald trump now it's time for america to find a division have to

united states law no longer applies to you. if you want to swear allegiance to the united states, you can have your slaves back, but if not i i am going to seize them as contraband of war because you are using them against my soldiers in the united states army. i will seize them and keep them and you can no longer have your slaves. this would create a mass of folks coming to fort monroe to seek freedom. what started out as three man became 10,000 by the end of the war in four short years. jefferson davis is a contradiction. jefferson davis, in his early life, was a graduate of the united states military academy. he served in the frontier with the added states army. he was secretary of war under president pierce. he and his wife were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, d.c.. when the south formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become their first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become president of the confederate states of america. we are stand

embracing by the united states of netanyahu. and his feeling that there needs to be an escalation with iran in the region. you know, we saw donald trump move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. and recently we saw mike pompei oh, go on a tour of the middle east. and, you know, tout the fact that at this point, there are some governments in the arab world that have recognized israel. and it seems like the effort of the united states is to mobilize and polarize the region between israel and iran. take a listen to my palm, pale thanks to president troop. the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear review with the roane police crippling sanctions on the union regime and eliminated the mood to go some soon. a record speaks for itself. during the trip administration, america stands with israel like never before. 'd now, many were hoping that things may change with joe biden in the white house after all, joe biden was vice president under barack obama, and it was the obama administration that negotiated the iran nuclear deal, which donald trump pull

it's egg on the face of the united states, but it's not the central issue for the united states. syria is for american foreign policy. something of a side show, not, of course for the syrians. so i don't think that this is going to be the dominant issue going forward. i don't think well, talk about we'll talk about many issues. when we come back here gentlemen, we're going to go to a short break and i think that's, a break. we'll continue our discussion, the u.s. russia relations stay with r.t. keyser apart many, many times because game theory will jump to the sovereign level and you have global hash wars. countries will need to strategically geo politically get into a big point. and this is what's happening in the united states right now with all those in the bull, but at least the 2 big city, bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers are going to be restricted to blatantly to it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year for the movie must win, but it will get you most need still to the reserve least one police officer 200 residents in russia'

is reported on significantly that the united states now is as divided as it's never been before. it was all promises back in 2016 when donald trump took his place in the white house the nation was already divided by race gender class you name it and the country needed a hero now it's time for america get behind a division have to get together. republicans and democrats and independents across this nation i say it is time for us to come together as one united people turned out trump never came to be that knight in shining armor. 20 twentieth's presidential election seasons looks more like an all out war on the streets more than anything mishandling of the pandemic response and the economic crisis but most significant was the brutal killing of george floyd that sparked outrage across the nation and even calls to de-fund the police all together. and instead of trying to unite people america's dividing lines became part of both parties political strategies on the one hand biden and the democrats sold themselves as allies of the so-called peaceful protests what's let's be honest we're

in the united states a couple years later. this is the big question prim sure everyone will feel as their reading the book, why doesn't the united states, we talk but the other countries of swellable to focus on the united states, do more sort of sort out the war criminals? the collaborators? the nazi and others as they begin to issue visas for resettlement in the united states? >> one of the reasons for this is that memories of the world war are obliterated. hiller has been defeated the fascist nazis have been defeated and they are not coming back. the danger moving forward is from the cold war and the notion to totalitarianism and that stalin is a modern day hitler and almost immediately with these displaced persons that were not see collaborators fighting against the red army they are anti-communist forget the past and let's move forward. the story they tell that just stays with me for a group of minors in england it doesn't matter that they discover working with them in the mind has ss tattoos (-left-parenthesis to go on s

against the united states today. it's not terrorists, it's not radicalization, it's not disinformation. it's us losing our global position in the world because when we lose it, that's it, somebody else will fill the vacuum and it will be to let. >> and having a strategy go with it. >> and we will lose it if we don't know what we're doing. >> we have a bunch of questions. we had a ton of questions coming to some are addressed as i read a couple of them. let's see, do you think the growth of nonstate armed groups such as boko haram or aqim poses a threat to u.s. interest? there's many more but i'll give you those, the israel in the boko haram question. >> i think what we've seen, look on anytime you have an arab state with israel is a good thing. but towards the end i think we need to basically get to the bottom of it. how much impact that will have on arab, not much. this is i believe a pr stunt. it will help netanyahu and israel and help -- you did not show it by the way to the sign agreement. it will help him if the

states as well. >> our unemployment problem was transferred to the united states from foreign lands. and, if we had refused admission to the 16,500,000 foreign born in our midst, there would be no serious unemployment problem to arrest us. >> the 19 thirties in the united states are arguably the height of antisemitism here in the 20th century. some historians estimate that there's 100 new antisemitic organizations founded in the united states in the 1930s. one of the people who gives voice to this more than anyone else, is father charles cobb and, the radio priest out of detroit. you see him in a popular way ranting a against jewish communism. question is in the american loyalty of shoes and others. you see that in some of the news real footage that we show in the exhibition. >> new york turns out 18,000 strong for a glimpse of detroit's famous radio, father charles coughlin. >> i ask you in the name of christianity, which a boris communism! in the name of patriotism, which loves america! i ask you if you will rise in your places and pledge with me to restore america to the americans

trump obviously didn't feel that sort of a larger role in the united states. and i'm not saying we have to be missionaries around the world, but we do have to have some sense about the world that we would like to see and what we can do to advance it. so let me just ask, push you a little bit further on that. those 5 traditions require in a way, an orientation even north america, which i, you know, that i am a big proponent of. you're a big supporter of north a moment. exactly, but they require an orientation where, where citizens look at being engaged in the world is a net positive. and i have to be honest, i am related to a lot of military families from the midwest. not highly educated over generations, but they fought for the country and they felt like they fought for the country. and they fought the cold war, but china won. they feel sort of left behind abandon, and they feel like that, you know, the net plus the net positive they get from global engagement. are what they used to be. i won't call it isolationism, but i will call it ambivalence. and so when

the world that the united states did overstep in the middle east. and that the wars in afghanistan, you know, iraq in syria and libya have not gone well. there are a few things. democrats and republicans agree on today. i think one of them is it's time to reduce the u.s. footprint in the middle east. and so i think that the trend that trump started, which is to, to get out of syria, pull back from afghanistan and pull back from iraq. that will continue where i think you'll see a dramatic change is on the diplomatic front. because the isolationist sentiment that trump demonstrated was coupled with a fierce unilateralism pulling out of pacts, dissing allies. and i think biden will do the opposite. you'll rejoin paris hill, rejoin the world health organization to try to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal. he'll breathe new life into nato, so the u.s. will lead and diplomatically, even as it leans back militarily. and for me, that's exactly the right form. or is that actually a cover of a covert activity? because obviously, there obama, there was, well,

states, given the strength inside the united states of a kind of society turning away from the world. and in the on itself, the professor, well, it looks like under a biden and remaster, a sham. we probably would see tariffs remain in place and doesn't look like he'd go any easier on china. is very possibly a way that he can somehow alleviate some of the tension though between the world's 2 largest economies. well, i think he has to do several things. he has the guts wave, the world that he really is somehow different that he's not going to play games with terrorists. he's not going to hug after chinese companies, executives and block chinese companies from functioning. i want reminds local that mattered in china that he threw to the leader of china as a quote, son. during the campaign, this is, as you might as well of the best way to cope with a friendship, he's going to have very different commitment. that's what it will be any less with the united states built in uterus, but they're going to be focused as this agreement shows on believing your own relationships and the united stat

for five weeks as korean republican and united states forces, under the united nations flag, fought to stem the tide of north korea communist aggression, while the security council took all of the emergency steps in an effort to halt that aggression, the delegates of the soviet union appointed himself from the united nations deliberations and decisions. the united nations troops fought and fell back, trading space for time until more help could arrive. on august 1st, soviet delegate, for the first time since the invasion, returned to take his seat in the security council. it was the turn of the soviet. malik, deliberately ignoring the north korean aggression started a campaign to block any action on the korean war by the security council. meanwhile, the united nations troops battled the communist invaders and the security council tried, without success, to prod the soviet delegate to his responsibilities. as august day followed august day, the united nations continued its fight in korea. and the security council soviet delegate sat impassive, rendering impotent the united nations effor

states that there is any bipartisan in united states is in this consensus of being on t.v. and to russian now this thing's common because during the trump presidency actually what russia sees is that saddam will trumpet and he's of mistaken didn't do anything to make these relations better he did impose sanctions he'll simple sanctions on a very important project for russia that is by line north stream to hilsey expel to the russian diplomats a so the hopes that this might get better there are there are none this time compared to 4 years ago but does russia really have the luxury of standing aside if joe biden wins the election it's likely that russian interference in the previous election will come back up there will be investigations made so it's likely that there will be cruises and again even from joe biden coming towards russia is that something the russians are concerned about. well i wouldn't say so because you see at the very end of his presidency obama would impose sanctions for the interference in this elections we can expect that if biden wins there will be new o

states the united states much more d. whited and i mean sure now people come out to want to celebrate and a half of the country if you have to keep in mind is no devastated and disappointed and that will be the big challenge for joe biden the next president of the united states to bring this country together again and he has what kind of reaction have we seen out on the streets have we seen protests and who is mostly coming out she protests if so. it's happy people they want to celebrate that's the majority view actually also talked to some republicans they said they disagree in many many regards with joe biden and camelot harris but they won 2 thirds donald trump out of the white house saying that he is nothing to do with then our party with the republican party people kind of awaiting a reaction no off the president of the united states from what we know is that he is still being out in virginia golfing his personal lawyer giuliani said this morning that he is not expecting donald trump to come gradual a the new preside

his son, my father, served in the united states air force in world war ii and then as united states ambassador. he is my role model and my hero. his wife fled communist hungary as a young girl and helped future generations of refugees come to america. my mother builds bridges between america and the world, through arts and culture. she is my greatest champion. and my late stepfather, he was one of 900 children in his school in poland, but the only one to survive the holocaust after four years in concentration camps. at the end of the war, he made a break from the death march into the woods in bavaria. from his hiding place, he heard a deep rumbling sound. it was a tank, but instead of the iron cross, he saw painted on its side a five-pointed white star. he ran to the tank. the hatch opened. an african american g.i. looked down at him. he got down on his knees and said the only three words in english his mother had taught him before the war, "god bless america." that's who we are. that is what america represents to the world, however imperfectly. now we have to proceed with equal measures of hu

president of the united states. we did it we did it very lovely there in her running clothes and celebrating this moment so as the news of broke of joe biden's victory president almost trump was out getting some practice in on the golf course as we have heard he had left the white house early on saturday while the votes were still being counted and we know that he's been at the national golf course in sterling virginia as biden's win in pennsylvania was called effectively winning him the white house after hearing the news we know that trump a continued golfing but is now on his way back to the white house and we will be following that closely to bring you the latest. we're going to bring in detail you correspondent stefan simons in philadelphia which is in pennsylvania that grand prize that has pushed joe biden over the edge to the magic $270.00 electoral college votes that he needs jeff i understand you've been speaking to some trump supporters and some biden supporters there. all told you. this side of the street

but i think in positions, if it's part of the historical record, the united states officials in the united states knew where this weaponry was going . and you know, this money was going, it's very end of the hour, it ended up in defense, all of them or straight. you go for this, you're absolutely right. but i think it's very important to mention here that when during the terrorist acts in europe, we hear about the people who perpetrated these acts and they were active in syria. the u.s. media, the western media in general, always reports of hawk-eye as if she's 3 started in 2013 when the, their so-called islamic state official just out of to function in syria. and of course, these people who are active in there are also there, you know, before the, i mean, official launch. an old guy says there are groups with the same ideology or pursuing the same agenda. they just didn't call themselves isis because they hoped americans would do their job for them won't be no resistance. so i agree, absolutely. with what george just said, that what you said, these policy is going to be more aggressive be

the united states cannot abide by these actions. the most recent renewal of the mandate included new attacks reporting requirements of new attacks against peacekeepers and investigations. we are hopeful that these important steps will ensure that there can be a mission that fulfills its mandate. if not, we will have to move in a different direction. mr. prime minister, it's always an honor to be here with you and visit israel. this is a place that has a special place in my heart and the heart of so many americans. bless you and thank you for your good work alongside the strong -- trump administration. i wish all of us many, many more years of successful partnership between our two countries. >> thank you. >> washington journal, every day, we are taking your calls live. discuss policy issues that impact you. discusses thet formation of the labor caucus. and then james clyburn. republican warren davidson on election results in the u.s. response to covid-19. watch c-span's washington journal live at 7:00 eastern. be sure to join the di

that's really a stunning charge in the united states of america. that's the kind of thing you hear about in banana republics and dishonest elections. surely united states senators would have some evidence that in the world's premiere, premiere democracy an entire state's election was not conducted honestly as they say. surely you must think that those senators have incredible, substantial and weighty proof of such scandalous and alarming allegation but you would be wrong. those two senators provided no evidence, not even a shred, to back up their claims. three lonely republican senators, three in total have congratulated the next president and vice president of the united states on their victory and called on the nation to come together. the rest have been silent or outright sympathetic toward the president's completely unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. so look, here's where we are. every major media outlet, including fox news has projected that joe biden will be the next president of the united states. kamala harris will be the next vice p

it's egg on the face of the united states, but it's not the central issue for the united states. syria is for american foreign policy. something of a side show, not, of course for the syrians. so i don't think that this is going to be the dominant issue going forward. i don't think well, talk about we'll talk about many issues when we come back here gentlemen. we're going to go to a short break, and after that's our break, we'll continue our discussion. the u.s. russia relations stay with me. is your who via reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe. so i sell a show called community. are you going the right way or are you being less? what is true? what is faith? in a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or a maid in the shallows. there's a lot on the board, but especially with big city, bright lights, you just put you to use and many dangers to play with the right to do. it's also a city where up 230-0000 crimes are committed every day, but over the last one, but able to do most it's still true. the reason police one polic

either course, you know, you've heard this before in the united states. the wealthy, it's millionaires just basler as bill gates and warren buffett have as much well as the bottom half of the u.s. population combined. so really this is a tale of 2 cities, but it's not just in new york city, it's everywhere. the rich are immune from many of the disproportionate effect of the pandemic. they have 2nd homes in the country, they and their connections to get government bailouts. they didn't lose their jobs during the pandemic since professionals can work from home. where they, you know, the majority of the hard work is for people with lower incomes. they were crowded into dense housing, dense working conditions and the loss of jobs. so now billions of people are unemployed in the worst unemployment crisis since world war 2. but actually what i would, i would really like i would like to see joe biden come out with a recovery package more an f.d.r. type, general jobs program with the stimulus or universal basic nurse or health care, you know, college tuition. you

israel and the united states. in your tenure at the c.i.a., intelligence cooperation was made stronger than ever and enhanced the security of both our countries. under your leadership in the state department, u.s. representatives at the u.n. and other international forums have unabashedly defended israel with no apologetics and no artificial correctives. just defended israel and defended what is right, defended what is true. america has stood up to the perversion of justice at the i.c.c. and i thank you for your personal involvement in all these things. everything that i said involves your personal contribution as well. and the u.s. rejected the assumptions about the legal of israeli communities in -- judeanaria samaria. thanks to your tremendous efforts to carry president trump's massive campaign. iran's feet have been held to the fire and seen a reduction in the amount of support they have given to their various proxies in the region. your 12 points set the standard for what iran needs to do if it wants to be tr

in the next president of the united states the. very happy kemah harris there will jill biden has tweeted the 1st photo of her husband joe secured the presidency she tweeted this photo of them together holding a sign reading dr and president biden live here adding that he will be a president for all of our families. well let's go to the tasha good name now she's covering developments from atlanta ga ga another key state and another one where there really is a way for scene difference between the 2 candidates how it's not really key anymore because of pennsylvania but explain to us the significance of georgia now and what happened there. so georgia could determine the balance of power in a biden harris presidency president because 2 other senate races the only 2 senate race. are so close that there's going to be a runoff in january it's likely according to analysts that the democrats would be able to pick up those 2 set it seats and then have control over the government but of course democrats can dream but they definitely are movin

who doesn't see these red states or blue states only she's the united states. biden's running mate and vice president elect's kamel house is also making history she's the 1st woman and 1st person of color to hold the job. and what a testament it is to joe's character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his vice. the. but while i may be the 1st woman in this office i will not be the last in the law there are huge celebrations across maybe your fifty's not to biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election by the american media large crowds have been gathering outside the white house as well as in new york city and philadelphia. president trump is continuing to make unsubstantiated claims about voter for his campaign is down to mount legal challenges. so what's next is up front. is there a school realistically how can you deal with institutionalized corruption and disc countries we listen if this breaks up into conflict between august on and india this has implicati
