howard works to reflect the robust history of our nation. we look to make sure that overlooked places are protected. what my colleague will talk about, this is something that is critically important for our future. duchess for the future of preservation, but the future of the nation and our national understanding of who we are, and where we come from. beope our work together will just the beginning of our collaboration. i want to encourage faculty and staff and students here to tell us about more historic places that have been overlooked and underappreciated for too long that deserve our support. i hope ande can -- expect we can apply the knowledge and wisdom that has been accumulated here and developed for partnerships together to help craft a more inclusive vision for our future. fork you all once again being here today and for your warm and generous embrace of the national trust in this partnership. we will not watch a video that was put together by the national trust and howard university on the meaning and importance of this place and ou

the book won the national book award last year. when asked why he wrote it, he said i had a memory of myself as the young person, sitting in the founders library at howard university, and reading baldwins fired next time cover to cover. i wanted a book a young person could do that with. this is whatns founders library has been about. young people have come here to this source of knowledge and awaken their own creativity and inspiration. they have learned of scholars, thinkers, philosophers and leaders who changed america for the batter and discover the most important lesson there is. us the powerithin to transform the world. for all of these reasons and more, the national trust is delighted to partner with howard to craft the next chapter of the founders library story. which is why i am proud to announce that founders library is the newest national treasure of the national trust for historic reservation.

remember, there is the national security advisor, the council, there is a national security staff, a couple hundred people that support the president and then there are interagency committees at the area's levels that do things. what is the whole purpose of that? three purposes. one, particularly on the nationals -- national security staff, to support the president in his unique role in national security. right speeches and prepare him for trips. secondly, it is to be the advocate for the president's initiatives within the government as a whole. if the staff working with the president does not advocate's initiatives or her initiatives, things won't happen. thirdly, it requires various agencies to work together and accomplish a coordination function. that is really what you do. if you are sucking up into the white house, the white house review, issues that are a province of a single agency, stop. do not substitute the white lion staff for the responsibility of the cabinet secretaries. that is why i say it is the interagency thing -- things that require coordination or that are importan

the national portrait gallery in the national museums offer insight into our nation's leaders. our diverse music collections would comprise the largest in the world if they were all in one place. now they are at a new of say -- as a new website -- now they are at a new website called "smithsonian music." a gallery reopened in november, following a two-year renovation. its debut division, wonder, has attracted more than 368,000 visitors in just the first four months. and in 2015, we welcomed a new at the national zoo. beloved by the public, bebe represents our extensive work in species biodiversity. in addition to the nearly 30 million visits to our museums in washington and new york city, we are extending access and education across the country. we now have 208 affiliate museums in 46 states, puerto rico, and panama. the smithsonian traveling exhibition service reaches more than 4.5 million people annually . we offer online educational materials in grades k through 12 to students of all ages, and teachers with more than 2000 learning resources available online. all of them for f

they have the smallest population in the nation by far. and when half of the state is controlled by the department of the interior and the policies that you have initiated with regards to jacking up the royalty is proposed to increase them at the time when the companies are going bankrupt and railroad workers are being laid off and cool minors are being laid off, there are coal miners jobs declining every month in 2015. and there were jobs lost every single month. in the face of the desire for the administration to literally destroy the coal oil and gas, how is it consistent with getting a fair return on the value in federal lands because no leasing means no financial return. that is my first question. >> we are blessed with many natural resources natural resources and the euros are tied tied to the worldwide commodity prices. they are tied to commodity prices and you also have a situation in a case where natural gas has become a competitor to electricity generation. there is no question they had been an important part and will continue to

he had a believe but by this time malcolm has been silenced by the nation. because, we are talking novembes assassinated and we're talking about a fight that is now february 25. we are just a few months away from that. america is just coming out of the morning. one of the great stories and we talked about a pipit in our culture at that time, mohammed was introduced -- there is a beagle. here we have cassius clay dealing with each other before the fight. you can almost foresee the direction of our american spivak the two of them of the two most important cultural phenomenon of the 1960s. the beatles and cassius clay. >> well that is my opinion. you're not going to convince me they were not the two most important. >> at this point malcolm and elijah mohammed are having their differences. not only because malcolm wanted to become more politically active but because he was becoming disillusioned. elijah mohammed having defended him would live with that. but when cassius clay went to fight these two men are very close together, what pulls them apart? >> what pulls

say its purpose of the national security -- remember, there's national security advisor, there's national security council, which is the president, vice president, secretary of state, secretary of defense, various other folks. there is the national security staff, couple hundred people to support the president. then there is these inner agency committees at various levels. what's the whole purpose? i think it is three purposes. particularly the nsc staff to support the president in their unique role in foreign policy, help write his speeches, help brief him for meetings, help prepare his trips. secondly, it's to be the advocate for the president's initiatives within the government as a whole. because if the staff doesn't advocate the president's initiatives, no one else is going to. finally, it is to take those issues that require various agencies to work together and accomplish that coordination function. that word requested coordination" is in the -- if you're sucking up to the white house for white house review issues that the province of a single agency, stop. don't substitute the whi

and the nation itself is geographically expanding. e boundaries moved west and jews are traveling along with those boundaries, going out with for the gold rush in different opportunities and to be out in the open. and for adventure as well. for exploration. we talked about the civil war. the american jewish experience of the civil war. jews found themselves on both sides of the conflict. they divided mainly along geographic lines. if you live in the north, you are likely to support the union. if you lived in the south, you are likely to support succession. jews were on both sides of the debate over slavery. it's a vivid artifact. this is -- a lithograph of reverend dr. max lilienthal, a rabbi in cincinnati. the original is in the magnus collection in california. he apologized for not speaking out against slavery, saying that right must be right whatever the consequent is. one of his former supporters, and man named jacob cohen defaced his portrait and send it back and processed. his family eventually donated it to the museum. jews foun

for all members of the united nations. on april 7, the president invited the secretary general to coordinate regional and economic and social development programs in southeast asia and we transmitted the text of that address. throw the summer of 1965, we tried to engage members to find ways of engaging members. in january of this sure, the ambassador put the matter to the security council and gave them a summary of the peace offensive. it is there now. in an effort to find out whether the security council can be of some assistance. in moving this away from violence to negotiation. >> it has also been suggested, that the 14 nation conference -- secretary rusk: -- the geneva conference of laos was 14. there were fewer at the geneva conference in 9054, are you referring to the 17 non-relations group. --retary rusk: to reconvene >> to reconvene the geneva conference. that's efficient -- that suggestion has been made many times, chiefly from our side. the other side has been unwilling to come to such a conference. we indicated,

the national press portrayed him almost literally as a messiah figure for his party. he's been the guy whose concession speeches were treated like victory speeches.

to take -- tear the nation apart. congressional elections are local, presidential ones are national. fill house came up with what he believed to the problem of partisanship and presidential election. he decided basically presidents should not be elected by the market people. -- american people. instead there should be a box in the senate with a lot of white balls and one blackball. each senator would pick a ball, whoever got the black would be the president. [laughter] problem solved. when i first stumbled upon that come i thought it was a joke. it was not. i searched and found marshall's response, they actually debated this. light, interesting idea. it really does give you a sense about how these national political contests, particularly the run for president was really causing extreme partisanship of a kind of panic people. who solution of hill house came up with, ok, then no more national, political contest of that kind. 50 years later, a similar political crisis did not end. this later crisis, as in 1800 was infuse

our national parks, especially those that demonstrate the african-american story, tell us as a nation to live up to our highest ideals. when i became the director in 2009, i made a priority to use the parks to create civic dialogue, to relate history and create new memories. this into neil year, we encourage all americans to find your park. this is an invitation to, and finds that hollowed ground that resonates with you. those hallowed grounds can include national parks such as carter g woodson national historic site in washington dc. [applause] park infind your somewhat montgomery historic trail, -- selma montgomery historic trail. in thethe full 54 miles path of those brave foot soldiers 50 years ago. or frederick douglass, or little rock central high, or george washington carver, or tuskegee airmen. we at the national park service love our existing parks that detail the african-american experience, we realize that after african-americans went out looking, they might not find their park because there are missing important stories in places. presidentoach to obama to use his powers u

when the nation of iran named as their ambassador to the united nations hamid aboutalebi, a known terroristarticipated in holding americans hostage in the late 1970s, people in washington said there was nothing we could do. well, i was proud to introduce legislation barring aboutalebi from coming to america. that legislation passed the senate 100 to nothing, it passed the house 435 to nothing and it was signed into law by president obama. [applause] when israel was facing relentless rocket attacks from hamas and the prayers of all of us and people across the world were with israel, prime minister netanyahu powerfully observed, we are using missile defense to protect our civilians and they are using their civilians to protect their missiles. i entirely agree with prime minister netanyahu as hamas would place rockets in elementary schools, they placed their headquarters in the basement of a hospital and i would note that hillary clinton, in 2014, explained this as follows, quote, "hamas puts its missiles, its rockets in civilian areas, part of it is because gaza is pretty small and it's dense

members, the government of national accord, you can say the general national congress here are with the government of national accord, that u.n. sponsored government of national accord. and the same in house of representatives. only a few number of parliamentarians are opposing the government of national accord, and they have certain demands, like demanding the -- >> it is a very complicated situation, from what you described -- >> outside of the parliament. >> yes, it's very complicated because even the existing government in tripoli that you would expect would be in opposition to the u.n. backed government, that opposition in itself is very split and fragmented and what does this mean for the coming days and weeks in tripoli? what do you expect in the coming hours? could there be further unrest? >> well, to begin w. the fact that the position has finally reached the capital. and here at the navy base here in tripoli, that's a big step ahead. but on the other hand, each political institution here, either with the government, or against it, the new government, each political institut

the nation has changed the partisanship that exist today. if there's -- if two members of one party vote with the rest of the other party, it's declared to be a bipartisan vote. they are so desperate to get any kind of swing. i think we've gotten a really good foundation of what brought us to the era that we are in today. i like to open the floor to you to raise some questions of our speakers. you can identify yourself. >> my name is laura. my question is for dr. freeman i enjoyed your presentation. one of your scenes was how the lack of party product -- structure was the lack of party. i think that's true today. a decline in regular order and use of the committee system. there's a list. >> immediately it's not controlled by the partisanship. >> absolutely. there are a number of different ways that you can look at that. i'm wondering from your historical background, are there some of those aspects that are more destabilizing than others what seems like a reasonable fix to them to the extent there is none? >> it's an interesting question. one

each exhibit is inspired by the national park in honor of the 100th anniversary of the national park rvice. from yellowstone to the liberty bell visitors might feel like they are traveling the country without leaving the convention center. >>> it's fascinating to see how one looks at the national parks. >> reporter: hopewell furnish anyways is a national park that was designed by the temple students. >>> it is very realistic, this is the hopewell what they would see and smell. >> reporter: pennsylvania horticultural society officials say tickets are up from last year. >>> everybody can relate to the national park and have been to the national parks, that theme is resonating. >>> it is my favorite. >> reporter: some want to shake off the winter dom doldrums. >>> you walk into the door and you smell spring. after five inches of snow you want spring. >> reporter: a lot of people agree with him. 250,000 people visited the flower show last year. they hope more will visit this year. it runs through sunday march 13. >>> we have an exclusive behind-the-scenes look of the flower show. our one

the hopes of 200 million people. that is why we want this to be national. must go directly to the people and derive its strength from the people. and we want people all over this land to sense the greatness of this moment, to participate in it, to help us all to discover what that great spirit is. and so i would charge this commission to move forward, to yes in reaching the great material goals of which we know we are capable. that is the easiest part of the job. but recognizing that the best bet, the best clothed, the best housed people in the world, the strongest nation in the world, and the richest nation of the world still will not deserve to be the hope of the world unless it has that splendid spirit, the lift of a driving dream which meant so much to the world in 1776, and for 200 years since that time. i would conclude simply by saying that by that year 1976, the world will be at peace. by that year 1976, america, we trust, will find the understanding that perhaps we do not have in many quarters today. but above everything else, i would trust in that

this is from the national center for missing and exploited children. as cochair of the senate caucus to end human trafficking, i spent many hours with those dedicated to fighting this crime and those who were victimized by it. for victims, the toll is measured in stolen childhoods, in painful trauma. for traffickers, it is measured in dollars, often a lot of dollars. it is a problem that i believe should command more attention around our country and certainly here in the united states congress. the aim of our investigation is very straightforward: we want to understand how lawmakers, law enforcement, and even private businesses can more effective combat this serious crime that thrives on the online black market. trarvegers have found -- traffickers have found new refuge in customers that specialize in advertising -- quote -- "ordinary prostitution and lawful escort services." this business called backpage.com is the leader in that industry with annual revenues in excess of $130 million last year. backpage has a special niche. according to one industry a

center which explored the founding documents of the nation. anlike to think that we are example of what happens when a people are allowed to live in liberty. one of the big stars in our , thistion is right here is correspondence between george washington and the jewish congregation of newport, rhode island. these are on load -- loan from the morgan foundation. in august of 1790, washington traveled to newport to thank the community for ratifying the constitution, the last state to ratify. -- including the jewish community of newport, and this is the address that was read out loud to washington that day. afterwards, washington would write back to the congregation, a very eloquent letter confirming his belief that the new nation -- his commitment to religious tolerance in the new nation. it is one of the founding documents for american jewish history and a very important thing for us to have on display. artifacts help us tell stories about history in a way that we can't get out of books. when you are standing in front of an artifact, there is a v

nation. you know, here's the situation: the nation is very cynical about this body. his body here, they say, isn't responding to the concerns of the american citizens. is there any single bill that has been more an example to justify that cynicism than this bill that is before us right now? when nine out of ten americans say this is important to them, a majority of this body says, we don't care. when nine out of ten -- or roughly that number -- of democrats and republicans and independents all agree on something, this body says, we don't care. isn't the cynicism of the american citizens justified? you know, here's the thing: our nation was founded on a simple principle. that principle embodied by three beautiful words at the start of our constitution, "we the people." well, "we the people" want simple information on the package. so if we are here to honor that principle, why is this bill before us? i ask you, why a bill that says the interests of a few titans in crushing a state laboratory is more important than the views of 90% of americans? and when those americans

the news is all over the country that the presidential council of the national of the government of national court have finally reached the capital tripoli and now in their headquarter. you can see behind me, the maritime base, this is their new headquarter. until this moment, it is quiet. it has not gone violent so far, but again, there is a lot of challenges facing this government, especially in the capital tripoli, two major opponents in this city that members of the general national congress and also the government of the national salvation government, they are are both opposing the national -- the government of national accord, but now, the question is how this new government will manage all these challenges. >>> iran's supreme leader said missiles not talks are the keep to the country's future. he says iran's military option must be maintained. the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon said iran's ballistic missiles test this month is causing alarm in the international community. >> out of for this agreement now iranians have launched the bliss system missiles, that, it is true that that

let me make a brief comment about the navy as an institution. like all great national public institutions, the u.s. navy is a mirror of our culture and values as well as our strengths command there are few ways in which the navy is dramatically different than the 19th or 20th century. as noted earlier, the principal duty of crewmen was to move heavy objects around which is why especially in britain men were often recruited by simply banging them over the head and dragging on board. we were a bit more settled in the us, not particularly picky. by the 20th century this was no longer the case not only due to a more enlightened view of citizen rights but also because service in the late 20th and certainly in the 21st century requires much more sailors then pulling on a rope and moving a canon around the deck. aviation electronics technician, information systems technician, missile technician, though the traditionalists someone you will no doubt be glad to hear we still have thinners mates. the navy is demographically different. they serve from the earliest days. less immed

there is deep distrust here >>> to syria and the ewe nighted nations has stepped up its deliveries of aid to besieged areas. the truce is being tested. this is said to show fighting in the northern province of hamaa. these pictures from the syrian military purportedly show soldiers fighting i.s.i.l. in alham mam. i.s.i.l. is not taking part in the so-called ceasing of hostilities. the u.s. secretary of state has been speaking about the truce violations. john kerry says it's important they're handle properly >> we have agreed that while there have been some number of violations reported on both sides, and we take them all very seriously, we do not want to litigate these in a public fashion in the press. we want to work to eliminate them. we have agreed on a process by which we will do that. there is a team of people on the ground in geneva and there are a team of people in amman jordan and they are in touch with other and in people in syria. we're going to crackdown each alleged violation and work even more now to put in place a construct which will help us to be able to guarantee that

the real question for the congress, the nation -- is that the army we want.o we want only a minimally sufficient army given the many challenges and expanding number of challenges the army has to meet? my thought would be this is a good time to take a pause in the drawdown of the army. let's hold what we have got until there is an opportunity to conduct a comprehensive, strategic review consideration the evolving missions the army is being called upon to meet. tony: let's talk about the global commitments the army is facing now, and how can the army be better positioned to prepare if something happens in europe, or europe, -- or in korea -- what are the recommendations you would make? general ham: the omission made a specific recommendation regarding europe, and recommended assigning an armored brigade combat team europe. that has fiscal and political considerations that have to be weighed, and there would be a significant undertaking in terms nato allies in order for that to occur. it was very encouraging to see in the president budget for fiscal year 2016, a

as you k kw, as a member, the national association of real estate investors is nothing like that. narei hosts local training and support meetings each ananevery month in cities all across the country. and the meetings are for people who want to learn the simple way to profit from real estate with the strategies that work in their area today. >> the narei clubs are a trusted part of local communities all over the u.s. by our members -- successful local real estate investors who live and work in your own area. they know exactly at it takes to make money right now, starting from scratch, because that's how they began. >> absolutely. you know, all of our members use our simple three-step formula for real estate success that we've customized for their individual market. and as new members start to do deals, they have the opportunity to become one of our superstar investors. they get to share their success stories and help train other members at our live events. >> and their stories are truly inspiring. delon, pam, dave, and 24-year-old twins jared and ryan are great examples of narei su

to tear the nation apart. congressional are local. presidential are national in a way other elections weren't. he came up with what he believed to be a brilliant idea. presidents should not be elected by the american people. instead, there should be a box in the senate with a lot of white balls and one black ball. each senator would pick a ball out of the box and whoever got the black ball would be president. problem solved. when i first strumible estumble, i thought it was a joke. but it wasn't. i searched and found marshall's response. they actually debated this. interesting idea, mr. hill-house. it really does give you a sense about how these national political contests and particularly the run for president really was causing extreme partisanship of a kind that panicked people. the solution that he came up with, then no more national political contests of that kind. 50 years later, a similar political crisis didn't end as well. this later crisis as in 1800 was infused with a do or die ethos and at sum gs th

're focused on finding ways to reduce europe's vulnerability to terrorist attacks, but these attacks reveal a larger truth -- any city in the world is vulnerable to barbaric ask of terrorism. and despite closing borders, increasing police forces, sharing intelligence, and extending security measures, we all remain susceptible. it is this sad reality that world leaders must address. do we really believe the closing borders to entire groups of people will stop the islamic state? will closing borders turn it those who feel like outcasts into recruits for extremism? and ultimately, extend the reach of those committed to creating mass fear. this is the time to repeat franklin roosevelt's cautionary line -- and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. i would like to know your thoughts. ,weet me at @matteroffacttv check in on facebook, or it check in on our video page to view and share videos from our programs. >> when we return, spring in full below. what makes this week and the perfe
