this is an exceptional nation. this is a prove den shlly formed nation. a christian nation. it's all over this early book. warren was one of the great female writers of the early 19 century. her brother, james otis, died rather young, but he was very, very active as a patriot in the 1760s, resisting the stamp act and those kinds of things. so, you see, they all approach this christian nationalism in a slightly different way, but all use the language and the rhetoric of america as a christian nation. in one form or another. one more example. and that's the zyl war. now, when the book came out, we were right in the middle of the 150 anniversary. that's past, but what's fascinating about the civil war is that both the north and the south viewed the war, especially the theologians and ministers, but also politicians as a holy war to some extent. it wasn't just a holy war. but both sides were articulating a view that we are the truly christian nation, the confederacy and the union and god is technically on our side and not on the side of the other. this is what makes lincoln's in

those nations are not listed on this order. what we do know is that this doesn't make the nation safer. national security experts recognize that it does exactly the opposite. by signing this executive order, the president has betrayed the most fundamental values and principles antagonizing 1.6 billion citizens in the world and has given our enemies, given our enemies ammunition for their thoughts and narrative that america is at war with islam. because that is exactly what they've used to recruit. that is what they do to increase import fuel on the fire to persuade people to attackally america. they basically handed to them this argument, this false narrative and put the nation at risk. what we have done now is probably because less safe today than we were friday morning before this happened because we are now living the worst is narrative possible that there is undying anisunderlying entity bm and the west. i share the view.uo it sends a message to the community they are facingss discrimination in isolation. and that message w

national security. a lot of jobs the president has, this new administration has, but that's at the top of the list, guaranteeing this country's security and frankly being the guarantor of global security, and leaving aside some of the broader systemic challenges that we face in the world, let's just look at what's happened since the inauguration. yesterday, iran reportedly conducted another ballistic missile test. now, president trump criticized president obama on iran, being too soft. now it's his turn to get china and russia to agree to a security council resolution condemning this test and taking punitive action. on sunday, extremist groups all around the world celebrated the trump administration's ban on travel from seven muslim-majority countries, comments that were posted to pro-islamic state social media accounts predicted that the executive order would serve as a recruiting tool for isis. one posting said that trump's actions clearly revealed the truth and harsh reality behind the american gover

on matters of national policy. today, we are here to discuss the agenda that will work to advance -- that we have going on in washington today and how it will affect our states and the federal government for years to come. even more important at this very unique time in our history, we are here to articulate the role that governors expect to play in the national discussion in the years to come. our new president and congress face big challenges on issues ranging from the economy to health care to infrastructure and criminal justice. as they began their work, we have a simple message for president trump and the leaders of the congress. governors, we are here, we are ready to work with you on an agenda that makes lives better for people with whom we serve. every day, as you know, governors are on the front lines, turning policy into action. we balance budgets, build and rails, attract new businesses to our respective states. while partisanship grinds washington to a halt, we are democrats, republicans, and independen

franklin roosevelt: this nation is asking for action, and action now. [applause] >> the perception of the hoover administration during the great depression was that they were not doing enough to provide relief, so that was where fdr tried to draw stark contrast between his administration and the previous administration. the next speech was fdr's first fireside chat on the banking crisis. he delivered that speech over the radio about a week and a half after he was inaugurated. in language that people could understand, he explained the banking crisis, what is going on with the banks, the actions the government was taking to prop up the banking system, and also to project confidence in the system. franklin roosevelt: i can assure you it is safer for you to keep your money in a reopened bank than to keep it under the mattress. the success of our great national program depends of course upon the cooperation of the public, on its intelligence -- intelligent support, on its use of a reliable system. after all, there is an element in the readjustment of our fin

a major threat facing our great nation -- russia. before getting to the core threat posed by russia, i want to stress, from the bottom of my heart, that the most -- some of the most rewarding and impactful work i have done at the united nations has come in the times when my russian counterpart and i have been able to cooperate. back in 2013, together, we negotiated a resolution to get the most dangerous chemical weapons out of syria. all recall, was a key pillar in imposing stations on iran for its illicit nuclear programs, sanctions essential to bringing iran to the table so we could forge an agreement that cut off iran's pathways to a nuclear bomb. and russia worked really conservatively with the rest of the security council to select the best candidate for a new u.n. secretary, a leader with tremendous vision. while people tend to look to the cold war as a paradigm for understanding u.s.-russia relations, the reality is for pivotal part of our shared history, u.s. and russian interests have frequently aligned. we fought together i

remember, president-elect donald trump's national security adviser, his pick for national security adviser, michael flynn, was ousted by james clapper. so there are some tensions there. donald trump, though, clearly, starting to realize he's got a pr problem in this regard, tweeting just moments ago, steph, let me read you part of his tweet. he says, the media lies to make it look like i am against intelligence, when in fact, i am a big fan. there's no doubt he's going to be monitoring those hearings on capitol hill very closely, and it anticipated we're going to get a lot more tweets as he watches all of it unfold today here from trump tower. steph. >> he's a big fan of what, exactly? i've got to ask our guest for the hour, managing editor of bloom brg politics, and captain of team bigly, john heilemann, and jonathan capert. john heilemann, i want to start with you. here we are, game time. are we going to see a fractured gop? you've got john mccain giving opening statements. you know what he said on russia before. people are scratching their heads with donald trump saying, you know, we'll

this is a national disgrace. the president's executive order betrays american values and weakens our national security all at once. our country was founded as a haven. trump and his administration seem intent on turning it into a medieval fortress. in november, shortly after the election, i joined a nonpartisan group in washington, d.c., to advocate for muslim refugees and immigrants, veterans for american ideals, a project of human rights first. there was a great pall over the city and a deep sense of urgency for what awaited, even in republican offices. no one knew then what we all know now -- trump really did mean to do what he said on the campaign trail. time and again, democrats and republicans alike told us the united states already has in place the best and most thorough refugee and immigrant screening process on the planet. a prominent republican advisor assures us that trump's -- quote -- extreme vetting idea was just a ploy to rustle up votes. a national security official suggested that we should be mor

to slam the nation of israel. also, one wants to conduct another test to check to see how bigotted the u.n. is. and you can check on the condemnations by the u.n. for activities of israel, compare ose acts of those activities in self-defense efforts by israel and compare them to acts f other nations, the genocide, for example, that even secretary kerry, as tough as it was for him to finally admit that there was a genocide of christians going on in the middle east. and is there any outrage by the u.n.? no. in fact, the u.n., head of refugees who is the u.n. general secretary made clear about a that the half ago, reason they weren't helping christians to the extent they were helping muslim refugees is because of the historic importance that christians have in staying where they were. that means where they are being murdered and having their throats slashed, being crucified, tortured, raped, incinerated, the u.n. general secretary thought it was very important to leave christians in the middle east so they could be m

balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual. balance between actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future. good judgment seeks balance in progress. lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration. the record of many decades stands as proof that our people and their government have in the main understood these truths and have responded to them well in the face of threat and stress. but threats new in kind or degree constantly arrives. of these i mention two only. a vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. our military organization today bears little relation to that known of any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed, by the fighting men of world war ii or korea. the united states had no armaments industry. american maker of plow shares could with time and as required make swords as well, but we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of nati

he has been very generous to the national archives. he bought ross perot's copy of the 1297 magna carta. just months before i arrived on the scene, he was the first person to welcome me to washington. his office is close by. he graduated from duke university, where i was the librarian. he checked with the president to make sure that i was a credible person to be taking care of his magna carta. he has been incredibly supportive ever since. but never pressure in terms of how we displayed more making decisions for us. susan: what has a simple donor like that made to the smithsonian? >> final talk about the more general case. my colleagues can agree that philanthropic fundraising is a bit of a dance. you bring together someone with , and a passion for something or other. you try to match that up with a priority that the institution has. one thing about david rubenstein is that he has a broad range of things he is interested in. he is very interested in history. not only historical documents, but he is a voracious reader of history. he know

as they find new ways to keep serving our nation.you've given so much to america and i know have you more to give. and then have you not seen the depths of true love and true patriotism until you've been to dover. when our troops receive our fallen heroes on their final journey home. until you have grieved with our gold star families who have given a piece of their heart to our nation, a son or a daughter, a father or mother, husband or wife, a brother or sister, everyone a patriot. every single one of these american families deserve he the everlasting gratitude and support of our entire nation. today after two major ground wars our armed forces have drawn down. that is natural and necessary. and after reckless budget cuts and sequester we need to improve the readiness and training and modernizing our force possess. let me take this opportunity while i still have it to appeal to our friend in congress while we are still here, we cannot go back to sequestration. this there is a responsible way forward, investing in america's strengths

some nations can do that, some nations know. i can -- i ensure the interoperability of it. this is exactly the value, but for that, we need to see exactly what we need and how we group themselves to achieve the target. host: it almost enables a surge capability, in a sense. >> exactly. this is for me the value of nato and our alliance. we have many partners who are very committed. it's --can do, together, we are very strong. if we can combine our strengths together on this one, it's more -- host: you are watching "defense news." we were making a move. the dewe had to. made -- we knew that if we came in too high, it would cost us big time. we had to stay low. we locked it in and rode that low rate from navy federal credit union all the way to our first house. it's a split-level ranch. so cute! open to the armed forces, the dod and their families. navy federal credit union. host: a big focus and transformation for nato involve technology and innovation. how do private companies effectively partner with a global alliance of nations, all of which have their own standards and re

this is a nation of immigrants. if you're not 100% native american, then you are either an immigrant yourself or you're the child or the grandchild or the great grandchild of an immigrant. and most of us can track members of our family who came from the ravages of war or the ravages of drought or the ravages of oppression to come here to this soil, this land of freedom. james madison remarked america was indebted to immigration for her settlement and her prosperity. and that remains just as true today as it was in madison's day. here we stand, but the president of the united states is denying access to a nation -- to our nation to a group of people based on nothing more than religious beliefs. betraying our values of religious tolerance and shutting the doors on refugees. the president has said this is not a ban on those of muslim faith, but of course it is a ban on those of muslim faiths because it's a ban on seven nations that are muslim nations with an exception made for individuals who are christians, so it is n

clapper, director of national intelligence. don, if i could just highlight a line in that statement, it's the line at the end, first of all, it references this document that was part of cnn's story, not the contents of the document but the cnn's story yesterday which was an exclusive was that this document had been included a synopsis of it in that classified intelligence briefing on friday to the president president-elect as well as to president obama that the fbi is investigating the allegations though has not confirmed them and that members of congress, republican and democrat consider them serious and have also asked for further investigation. you'll remember today that donald trump at his press conference denied any veracity of that document but also attacked cnn, called us fake news, called this story fake. that's a line continued by kellyanne conway with anderson cooper in quite a substantive interview just about a little more than an hour ago. he emphasizes the document which again we did not detail the allegations insi

trump, and america, our great nation.de us to remember the words of the psalmist who may dwell on your holy mountain, one who does what is right and speaks the truth, who knows that, when you eat the labor of your hands, you are praiseworthy, that he who sows in tears shall reap in joy, because the freedoms we enjoy are not granted in perpetuity, but must be reclaimed by each generation. as our ancestors have planted for us, so we must plan for others. while it is not for us to complete the task, neither are we free to desist from them. disexpense justice for the needy and the orphaned, for they have no one but their fellow citizens, and because the nation's wealth is measured by her values and not by her vaults, bless all of our allies around the world who share our beliefs, by the rivers of babylon, we wept as we remembered zion. if i forget thee, oh, jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. the doer of all these shall never falter. may the days come soon when justice will dwell in the wilderness and righteousness

strong nations form strong institutions. and they form the basis of the international partnerships and cooperation that brings stability to our world. nations, accountable to their populations, deriving as declaration of independence puts it, their just powers from the consent of the government, to join international organizations or not, they can choose to cooperate with others or not, choose to trade with others or not, which is why it's the countries of the european union wish to integrate further. my view is they should be free to do so, because that is what they choose. but britain, as a sovereign nation, with the same values, but a different political and cultural history, has chosen to take a different path, because our history and culture is profoundly internationalist. we are european country and proud of our shared european heritage, but we are also a country that always looked beyond europe to the wider world. we have ties of family, kinship and history to countries like indian, pakistan, bangladesh, australia, ca
