lit the white house in every color, because in every state in america you are now free to marry the person you love. there is still work to do. as we saw two weeks ago in orlando, the lgbt community still faces real violence and discrimination, real hate. we can't rest. we have to keep pushing for equality and tolerance. but the ark of our history is clear, it is of progress, and a lot of it can be traced back to stonewall. this week, i am designating the stonewall national monument as the newest addition to the parks system. stonewall will be the first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for lgbt rights. i believe our national park should show the whole story of our country, the richness and diversity of our american spirit. that we are stronger together and that out of many we are one. , that is what makes us the

greatest nation on earth. that is what we celebrate at stonewall for our old generation -- for our generation, and those that come after. >> hello, i am senator richard burr and i am the chairman of the senate select committee on intelligence. i would like to talk to you about terrorism and the threat of isil, al qaeda and other , extremist groups. the challenge we face today is unlike one we have ever known. the terrorists are not new. the message is not new. it is their leveraging of our technology and innovation to kill that makes this a new threat. that is why the obama administration needs to treat the threat posed by isil seriously and lead a campaign to defeat the terrorist group. the principle way to deter iso-inspired attack in america is to defeat them in iraq and syria. the cia director testified

before my committee and the american people about the growing threat of terrorism and how our intelligence community is challenged to protect us from attacks. the hearing took place just four days after 49 individuals were tragically murdered in orlando by a disturbed and evil person. chillingly, the cia director predicted more attacks like those in san bernardino and orlando. can draw ad that iso- large category of western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the west. i have said before that we live in a society, one that values freedom and diversity, contrary to what some will have you believe, you can live in a free and open society while still being safe. i also feel strongly that we need to continually protect american's civil liberties and privacy. the content of our phone calls, e-mail discussions, bank transactions, medical records

and data should be secure. i believe that consumer data is too insecure and we should take solutions protect information. some of those consumers now happen to be terrorists and they are using secure messaging applications to recruit, plan and execute attacks against civilians. what is increasingly clear is that the very technology that is enabling tremendous innovation in manufacturing, medicine and other areas of the global economy, is also providing terrorists ways to innovate and propagate their evil. we are at a point in time where laws that were enacted to provide authorities and capabilities to law enforcement and the intelligence agencies are out of date and in some cases, no longer applicable. we face a growing and

significant threat from isil and , contrary to what the administration would have you believe, we face a threat at home and abroad from an ever capable al qaeda. we have learned from 15 years at war that we cannot sit back and expect to be protected at home by the great expanse of the atlantic and pacific oceans. make no mistake terrorism is , global. we will win the fight against our adversaries, but we will only win if we take the fight to them. i have said it before and it remains true, we must attack isil and al qaeda where they raise funds, where they recruit, and where they plan their attacks. we must deny the terrorists a safe haven. we have not effectively brought the collective strength of america to the fight against isil. the administration has paid lip service to the threat and has taken small steps in some areas, and not others.

it has not directed the full capabilities of this nation against this problem. terrorism has reached our doorstep and touched innocent citizens in ft. hood, boston san , bernardino, and orlando. right now, i feel that the question is not if, local, state and federal police officers will have to respond to another attack, it is when. and i am not willing to accept that it is a reality and a new norm. director brendan made it clear that despite all the progress against isil on the battlefield and in the financial realm, our efforts have not produced or -- reduced the group's terrorism capability and reach. he assesses that as the pressures mount on isil, it will intensify its global terror campaign. the president has spoken often about progress and the

coalition of countries that have iso-and theirn global reach, to remove it fighters from the battlefield. let's be realistic about the problem before us. let's understand it and let's address it. while the u.s.-led coalition has made progress, america and allies have simply not made the progress we need in order to eliminate the threat iso-poses america is the greatest country . on earth and our allies are with us. the time to take action is now. i am senator burr, thank you for listening. >> on newsmakers this weekend, our guest is republican congressman jeb hensarling of texas. he talks about efforts to replace the dodd frank financial regulation law. he also shares his thoughts on how the federal reserve is currently operating. watch the interview tomorrow at

10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> you realize of the not only love to do, i think it could be different from the kind of books that have been written in the past and a way in which to rethink and reevaluate who this person was, what his real significance was, what his virtues really were that made adored andthe most add you related figures in american history, but what were his flaws and the things that made him, in many ways, unpleasant and hated by millions of people? q&a, arthurght on herman takes a look at the life and career of u.s. army general douglas macarthur in his book "douglas macarthur: american warrior."

>> he saw the future more clearly than he saw the present. whether it was the rise of china , the split between china and the soviet union, which he foresaw, but also the fate of american domestic politics. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span "q&a." >> next, a senate hearing on while higher prevention. interim president michael middleton talks about the .chool's response john king on implementation of the every child succeeds act. officials from the agriculture and interior departments were at a senate energy and natural resources hearing on wildfire and forth management.

they talk about legislation that will change how firefighting efforts are funded by the u.s. forest service. they testified on the timber industry. this is two hours. >> good morning, the committee will come to order. we are meeting to receive testimony on a legislative discussion draft entitled wildfire budget response act. i want to thank those that joins together when we released this draft may 25 along with ranking members senator cantwell and senator wyden. u.n. senator crapo have been working this issue for a very long time. we thank you for your leadership. senator rich joins us. a good, strong team with this draft. we have taken public comment on it.

we are taking the next step today. we recognize we face some serious challenges and an area that needs to be addressed. people across the country are realizing that wildfires are a growing crisis. we know in alaska the devastation that wildfires bring our state. we've already seen over 200 fires this season alone. so, there is a recognition that it is a real and growing problem. resolving it requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both wildfire funding and forest management. we need to do both at once. we know it is not just a budgeting problem it is also a management problem. i work to provide temporary

fixes to ensure our firefighters have the resources that they need. i added $1.6 billion to wildfire suppression to last year's on omnibus. it was above the average cost enough to prevent fire borrowing this year. last year's bill also included targeted increases in hazardous reduction that will help mitigate wildfire hazards and keep our forests going. it is now closer to two weeks ago. we approved it for the next fiscal year. that includes full funding as well as stanfords management efforts. i am proud of that work. i am the first to say that our yearly appropriations bills are just a temporary solution. t
