and wonderful partners, charles haynes and the freedom center of the newseum institute.e looking forward to a wonderful evening. thank you also to the staff of both our magazine and the institute have done so much work to bring this evening together. our topic tonight is one that as really passionate result is a couple decades ago would've been considered widely to do. our supreme court justices influence in their decision-making by the religious conviction they bring to the bench? most casual observers and even most legal observers would argue back then that they shouldn't be bringing religious convictions to the bench, if they have them, that as a supreme court justice they would've said, and as john roberts intended at his confirmation in 2000 come as an umpire and far from pipeline assemblies come he can simply call them as he sees them. much has changed since that early consensus and even since i confirmation hearing almost injures ago. for one the traditional religious makeup of the court has altered dramatically. and for another we know a lot more about those view

holocaust newseum to of officers better understand their role in a democratic society. we sent our recruits through that training in philadelphia. we have a philanthropist here who has supported us in that endeavor. but i think it does an awful lot toward helping police officers better understand the unique role they have in our society. >> host: chief ramsey, i asked this question. richard berry of the international association of chiefs of police is on the set with me. i asked him this question. when you view the video of what happened to eric garner, what happened to 12 year old in cleveland, what's your reaction as a police officer? >> guest: first of all, when i saw the video of the garner situation, it's odd is a troubling. i don't know all the information that was presented to the grand jury -- >> good morning, everyone. >> good morning spends all across our country, communities are demonstrating their grief over the deaths of eric garner, tamir rice and, of course, michael brown. for the most part these demonstrations have been peaceful. most currently have been

. >> here we are in the newseum, so that requires leadership on your part. >> yes, it does. it does and i'm going to try to exercise it. if either of you has any political announcements, endorsements or predictions you would like to make, now would be a really fun time. [laughter] >> like the time -- remember the woman in canada, asked us about very dramatically said what about another clinton-bush [laughter] >> okay. i'm going to exercise leadership and not let us get any farther off. you know, but i'm interested in the answers that both of you gave to the last question in talking about what kind of scholars you wanted. neither of you talked about politicians. or elected officials, because i gather that's not the core purpose of this scholarship program. it's not to train a bunch of new political leaders. >> no. but i think that politics is important, and i know he does, too. one of the things that i would like to do if we got into that -- i thought about it the other day i went to see "all the way." the broadway play about johnson passing the civil rights act. bryan cranst

patrick arks from the close-knit family owned newseum raus slaves, more than anyone else in the city. and in the freedom suits, as slaveholders, the chateaus were repeat players in the words of mark galanter. this is important to recognize because john f.a. sanford was the wealthy family's loyal son-in-law. john f.a. sanford was the defendant who dred scott hardly knew, hardly could have known. yet, sanford had fallen into the role as executor of an estate that dred was part of. years later, in a "the new york times" interview, mrs. emerson chaff if i was asked why the case didn't settle. mrs. emerson chaffey agreed it would have settled if not for the chateaus. they wanted it pursued. if dred scott would not give up because the freedom of his entire family was on the line, sanford did not give up even though he seemed to care very little about the lawsuit because his in-laws wanted a win. so, how did this all come to bear on the scott family? the precedent was well established. the scotts had witnesses, a lawyer, they met the elements of the case and they should have won in state cou

then, we will show you a portion from the first discussion from this afternoon's event here at the newseum, as former u.s. ambassadors to iraq and syria focused on the middle east. >> this is a continuing crisis and we need to know why it's a long-term problem. my second point that contradicts that is this situation with isis is a particularly new and dangerous situation and let me talk about the latter first, and why i think it has to be stopped it has to be defeated, it has to be destroyed. those are the official words and policy of the u.s. administration. see whether they can achieve that the reason is first of all, unlike other movements that a lot of similarity to, and i will get to that in just a sec, it has seized a huge amount of terrain, somewhere between 7 and 9 million people. it has large military forces, a lot of equipment. it has control over economic things like despite our bombing and other actions, a fair amount of oil. it is threatening the very fiber and fabric the center of the middle east, endangering what president obama has repeatedly and correctly said are our four

remarkable trend occurred even as the number of working age native of americans increased buying newseum million. 17 million is a dramatic figure. is not a decline in native workers as some businesses try to say. and demographic decline, we have to deal with it. we are still growing in the working ages. 17 million since 2000 increased in the age group. here are a few statistics. these are not temporary trends, 25 to 54 are not working, this includes 10 million men and 10 million women. median weekly earnings are lower today than in the year 2000. median family income is down $4,000 since november of 2007. our wages for families have declined dramatically. $4,000 is $450 a month. in this context we must consider the in executive amnesty in playing a violation of law in the express will of the american people, work permits to be issued to those already here. these illegal workers will now be able to compete for any job in america. they are already working, already in the labour force. many of them are not. many are working part time. in los angeles we found more than half of those who ente

luke russert conducts the interview which took place at the newseum here in washington, d.c. this is about an hour ten minutes.

that is from florida, the headline courtesy of the museum -- newseum. back to your calls. call from ohio. say that would like to the justice system is never going to work until the double standard has changed. is, frankn by that serpico, the u.s. officer recently said that the problem with the police today is they have no accountability and that they can literally get away with murder. and that is kind of true, because the police can always use the defense that i feared for my life. if you are an average citizen and you do what happened in ferguson, you know, someone tries to take your gun, they run away and a come back at you, and you shoot them, you will be charged with murder and thrown in jail. the same thing as what just happened in new york with a police officer. if you did that and you were a civilian, you would be thrown in jail and charged with murder. the police can used "i feared for my life." you can use it, but it's not a defense for a civilian. as long as there is that double standard, you will not have a correct justice system. host: to nuevo, california, ra

there's the newseum, which honors journalism. there is a museum that honors native americans. americans from all over this country can come to washington and learn about our history and the contributions of the people who have made our nation the greatest country in the world. despite this plethora of museums, however, there has been no museum dedicated to the women who have helped to shape our nation's history. the legislation that was finally approved last week calls for a commission to fund its own costs and it would be paid for entirely with private funds, at no cost to american taxpayers. this commission would put forgot a -- this commission would put forth a plan for establishing a museum on women's history so that people who are coming to washington can learn about the enormous contributions of women to our nation's history. indeed, american women have made invaluable contributions to our country across such diverse fields as government, business, medicine, law, literature, sports, entertainment, the arts, and the military. a museum dedicated to women's history will hel
