the unemployment rate for hispanic americans and african americans has never been lower.applause] we are setting records. for the first time on record, there are more job openings in america than there are jobseekers. the news is so good, even the new york times acknowledged it. this would be the first time i have quoted the new york times. they wrote " we ran out of words to describe how good the job numbers really are." [applause] it is true. under president trump's leadership, jobs are back, optimism is back, in a word, america is back. we are just getting started. [applause] that's what we have all done together, men and women. we are strong partners on capitol hill. a lot of great leaders you have heard from at this gathering in washington, d.c., it is what we have done together. it is making a real difference in the lives of everyday americans. since our tax cuts in the past six months, companies have announced more than $500 billion in new investments in american jobs, american workers, and america's future. more than 5.5 million americans have already seen a pay r

americans were of two minds about african-american military service.ey drafted them, on the would -- people would say it my white son is not going to war why -- while you slack. some white people were like, my son is not going to war while you stay home and slack off. african-americans made up about 10% of the population. same thing for immigrants. even though they make up roughly -- i think they ended up being drafted at 18% even though they only make up 15% of the population. what it demonstrates is this kind of two mindedness. on the one hand, we are going to discriminate against you. on the other hand, there is no way we are not going to make you go to war. what is notable is the uniforms. when they were in training camp in the south, they did not wear uniforms because there was a fear it would cause too much disruption among the jim crow residence, which was probably true. particularly when many soldiers returned home in uniform, they were targeted with harassment and even lynching in many places in the south. while they were at the front in franc

to dog tags were issued american troops. the bodies would be placed in a permanent cemetery or in coffins and brought to the ports for shipment back home. about 70% of american families elected to have their loved ones returned home at government expense. the other 30% were left, eventually for burial. in permanent cemeteries maintained by the american battle monuments commission. mr. moizan: france allowed the americans to keep permanent cemeteries in france. america keeps one for each big battle in france. mr. yockelson: it was a gruesome task for the grs teams. the bodies decomposed and were difficult to identify because of the decomposition or the fact that some of the bodies were so badly damaged that they did not recognize and were not able to identify the remains. mr. moizan: that is a sad job. it was done in 1919, 1920. mr. yockelson: it took long. the americans suffered more than more than 50,000 casualties battlefield from the beginning of combat until the armistice. another 50,000 died of disease like influenza. s

a 100% american and a 100% organic. - grown american means exactly what it sounds like.own in america, the greatest country in the world where the streams are clean, where the air is pure. we have some of the best soil in the world. just good, rich, organic, black dirt. grown american superfood was developed to capture the goodness in natural, whole foods and that's exactly what it is. - our products really go from being a fresh crop out in the field at van drunen family farms into our processing facility in a matter of hours. - grown in america means beat quality. the best service, the best price. this is part of our job, farmers and processors, to get the best product to the customer as we can. - what means the most to me about grown american superfood isn't just that it's organic, but it's organic grown in this country. it's still hard to get home in time to chop, and clean, and cook vegetables for my kids. that's what's great about the grown american superfood is i can sneak healthy, organic vegetables into foods that they already like. this is some macaroni and chee

and american companies. emphasized how important the connections almost out to economies are for citizens of countries. unfortunately, they will now discover that they cannot impose such measures without harming their own people. and their own workers. you had many conversations with. the president and the vice president this week. what would you say today about your failure? >> i think people will understand this is a decision by the american administration and for the american administration. my approach and the approach of all canadians has been stored together. once again, i wish to thank all the premiers, all the mps from all the parties who demonstrated that we have a firm and united .pproach your in canada when it comes to these negotiations and engaging with united states i think people isw quite well, that it despite our efforts that the american president has chosen to make this decision today. will mr. trump be at [indiscernible] >> yes, all indications are that he will be. an investigation sugges

re around 4000 american soldiers. it was overwhelming with british compared to american. the british were also professional soldiers. a lot of them were decorated military men. for the americans, you had 4000 troops and three quarters of that were men who did not have a lot of experience, weren't professional soldiers, and did not have a lot of experience. the first conflict between u.s. soldiers and bridges soldiers after the battle of new orleans happened during the night of december 23. jackson found out from the youngest hillary mann -- hillary man to tellry jackson that the british have landed. he cries his favorite line out and immediately grows -- his famous line out and immediately goes. it is a dark time and a lot of the americans do not know everyone as perhaps the british soldiers do. this is one of the points where the cavalry and the choctaw american indians laid a massively significant part. the used a cover of darkness and the ability to move through the landscape here to really cause confusion with the british. the americans were not able to push the briti

for all of the ways that jim crow and -- african-americans and mexican-americans were distinct. they lived in separate neighborhoods, they followed different leaders, they embraced different priorities, they practiced separate religions or religious denominations, spoke separate languages. all these things separated them so nothing natural but a coming together of mexic-americans and african-americans. each group learned they'd needed each other just like organized labor learned it needed allies and white liberalled learn over time if they were going to keep electing their people they were going to need to take the issues of civilights activists more seriously. that was the foundation, and so what would happen was they would coming to for a meeting and yell at each other. you don't really care about our issues. too many of our programs are discussions are focused on labor rights and not on these other issues, or your proposing a joint northwester which we would prioritize african-americans instead of mexican-americans, and so they often fail to agree in the early years next '60s

investment in manufacturing and support american companies when they are helping american workers. [applause] the second equal dollar of strength is the family. indeed the institution in any society strong families that america can pass down the values of love, work, tradition. sadly you do not need to run for president to see the state of the american family. 1950 fewer than 5% of children in this nation were born outside of the marriage. today the number is over 40% of the children born in america and adding to this too many families are being constantly offended by economic treasures of family life and social engineering that seeks to replace family life. this is why we need a culture that will value and support the family in the way the freedom coalition supports. [applause] by the way it is why i feel passionately and begin to summon my own party to expand the child tax credits as part of tax reform it's also why i intend to fight just as hard on for the present and alongside avago trump ask us to family leave. after all how can we fund hundreds of billions of dollars to give

in france, we are supporting the americans. bill: setting aside the lack of connection between the two issues, on the iran nuclear agreement, france is working with the remaining parties of the agreement. what do you think the prospects are for sustaining the agreement in the face of the american administration? ambassador araud: we are doing our best. we believe the jcpoa is a good agreement. it is not perfect. on purpose, we have treated the nuclear issue as separate from the other, because it is such a complicated issue. we did it without naive assumptions about the behavior of iran. we are expecting the situation in iran to worsen because we think the regime will be obliged to show up the americans, so we were not surprised. a policy of balancing against iran in the middle east. so we discussed the question of ballistic missiles and what would happen at the end of the agreement in terms of the activity of a ron -- a ran -- iran. so we are trying our best to preserve the agreement but it is difficult. as you said, the americ

americans damage american consumers. french people retaliate and damage french consumers. i mean, the retaliation that the french are talking about and the europeans are talking about, well, we'll tax bourbon. great. and that hurts consumers of bourbon in europe. and when we tax aluminum or steel, with a tariff, that raises the cost of inputs in the united states. >> it really is quite troubling, all of this. again, a republican senator says make america great again shouldn't mean make america 1929 again. i know we keep beating this dead horse, but it seems to have revived itself in the mind of the trump administration. and now people are saying president trump sort of prided himself on this great deal maker for the american people, but it looks like he's going to be, on this occasion, anyway, a deal break they're will hurt the american people. so what would you all say to him as he potentially considers tariffs on car imports? you just heard what the commissioner said. those support american jobs. >> all tariffs, if imposed, are damaging. a tariff that's threatened that a

americans should fight or not. there was the jim crow south and certainly, they were not free of discrimination. they were not getting able rights. houston and other students, howard,arly, at students were very active in pushing for a cap. they want to be able to be officers. they really push the government to do that. have civil rights leaders in the african-american community writing letters in pushing for this officer's training camp. they wanted to be integrated. in the end, woodrow wilson only goes as far as to creating a segregated austrian camp in des moines, iowa. houston is desperate to get into the spirit he really wants to be a participant. ifbelieves that african-americans go fight successfully and demonstrate their rate to citizenship and equality, they will come back and be granted that. obviously, they were mistaken. they are aiming at older african-icans for this training camp. they are lucky enough to be there when another individual is basically getting married and drops out. train straight for de

that is a project of the american values.ething all human beings are entitled to by their status of being a human being. i do think language is important. the tone and the way in which activists undertake this is significant. as much as i can look at the un agreement is toxic i think now there are ways to frame efforts to improve human rights by stepping away from that. >> to have time to think about other things. >> technology has made the world so much smaller. as you're describing a lot of human relationships of things going on in the world. today we just continuously think things happen everywhere. does that have any impact on the international relationship and the ability for so many people to know so quickly and so much more completely how that plays into how government deals with them? >> something that activists in the 60s and 70s put considerable thought and resources to is how to make the plight of someone his name is unfamiliar live in a place you've never been to, the story does not seem as hero, how can you convi

from americans founding to the present, caribbean people supported in the creation of collective american identity. the articulation of this rightful place in the world, its traditions, its language and its cultural style. from alexander hamilton to american revolution haitian jean degare, slave revolt leader to colin powell's shock and awe doctrine, the caribbean emphasis on revolutionary and righteous ideals enforced through marshal action has supported american ideals both home and abroad. in today's culture, many are surprised by the placement of americans of caribbean descent. it includes eric holder to iconic personalities like lenny kravitz and beyonce. economic minds such as federal reserve bank of atlanta president rafael bostic to actors kerry washington, jada pinket smith. athletes like tim duncan, mariano rivera, carmelo anthony, to journalists joy reed and u.s. senator kamala harris. these signs of caribbean region are completely american, yet in many ways their caribbean heritage informs and accounts for the atributes which have assisted them in their advancement and support

the american people will. we will have a tsunami of contact their members of the house of representatives to demand a vote on neutrality same way we hadhe about here on the senate floor. we know that when the vote takes place the american people will win and this net neutrality will win. the principles of nondescript nation are going to win. too many people think today that this whole idea of this commission is back in vogue and let's stop talking about it in a way that has not been a part of our culture for a generation but it is back and in a lot of ways net neutrality is part of that whole discussion of whether or not theca american people get protected against this termination. e we now have enhanced urgency because the rules of the fcc are not final and that neutrality is no longer the law of the land and that is what happened today and the chairman of the federal medications commission, chairman pai, is taking his victory lap and he is so proud of what has not happened that net neutrality is taking off t

as americans. we don't need to separate children from their families and imagine what that would mean to each of you and your children or your grandchildren. and this is is such a sensible thing for us to ask. let's not do that. there has to be another way to address these issues of immigration. instead of institutionalizing what all the experts say is essentially child abuse. lasting effects of the kind, negative effects on the children that will last their whole lifelong because they're separated. this is a great amendment and we should accept it. i yield back. >> thank you and with that, i yield the balance of the time to my colleague paul from washington. >> thank you so much, representative, for this amendment. it is a common sense amendment. humane and a necessary amendment. some of you know that i spent 0 three hours tat federal prison speak tog 174 women who were transferred from the texas border to that prison. half of these women had children. many of them probably about 40%, had been in

as an american jew and american jewish leader you have to think more about the ties that bind, is it just thinking every day about the existential threat to israel? >> got to be more. >> one of the ongoing frustrations that i have is we don't know each other's jewish lives. is really music, israeli rock music is some of the greatest music that is being produced anywhere. not that i know it is happening in finland but it is extraordinary music and i think it is the greatest jewish music being created anywhere. the music we hear on the radio that our kids dance to is profoundly jewish and american jews are being deprived of one of the sources of jewish creativity, vitality in this generation. at the same time, israelis have a very superficial and 1-dimensional idea of what american judaism is and don't understand the different forms of experimentation. what i tried to tell my fellow israelis about american judaism is american jews, those who commit to a jewish life actually feel joy in their judaism. that is a very strange idea. israelis feel proud to be jewish by and large, they feel

at american -- african-american churches. they avoided clashes with federal troops. supreme court justice samuel miller wrote his southern brother-in-law challenging him. show me a single white man that's been punished for murdering i get -- for murdering a negro. thisodern equivalent of terrorism would be afghan or sooner -- or syria. white murders of black citizens and their white republican allies, one sided. we tend to think terrorism begins with 9/11 but african-americans lived in a terroristic society at least 1975 and in some aspects, cents. -- we would think of terrorism in the united states as 9/11, but it was at least until 1865. new federal laws adopted after the 14th and 15th amendment were enforcement and protection. it also contained a new innovation, a section aimed at private terrorism making it a federal crime to conspire or go in disguise for the purpose of interfering with any person's free exercise of any right or privilege granted by the constitution or laws of the united states. now, i was always told to say in conclusion to give the audience so

that generation of americans often would become known as the american century.e stand seven decades removed from that time where our nation once again faces a new set of challenges. challenges that will again determine what this generation will be remembered for and it will come to define the 21st century. at home there are millions of jobs which provided people with secure middle-class lifestyles that are now being transformed and often eliminated by machines, biotechnology, by globalization. all over the world the democracies that we helped to take root, to expand and to protect, are now being challenged by autocratic regimes that offer people order and stability and prosperity in the time of chaos, uncertainty and economic displacement. and a new geopolitical challenger, china, is systematically executing on a plan to do something soviet union never came close to doing, supplanting the united states to become the world's remailer technological, economic, geopolitical and military power. these are all significant challenges, but i would say they pale in compar

mark: do you think the american media, the american media chases shiny objects, pretty much. do you think the american media is substantive enough to understand that the threats remain because they do a very poor job of covering them? >> i think the honest portions of the american media, whether it be conservatives like yourself or others that are willing to talk to muslims with a tough love, i think, are addressing the issue. i think we've seen like our organization and muslim reform movement are shifting the needle, after 9/11, no one would talk about islamists and now seeing a conversation where we recognize that it's not just terrorism. i'm a doctor, as you said, and i treat disease, i don't treat symptoms, and the disease what we're facing is not just terrorism. that's a symptom. that's a whack-a-mole program. the disease is political islam. sharia states. the concept that identity is muslims is wedded to a national identity of islamic governance. there may be many muslims in america that are here that reject secular society. so the american media, and i think especially

that is the american way. of course, missing the point that three quarters of americans were working in industry and have not the frontier ever. -- have not seen the frontier ever. but it was part of this american mindset of eisenhower, of course, who grew up in the middle of nowhere and had this sense that people could come from different places and do great things if they had the right mindset. so i think, perhaps, it was cultural from that period of the last part of the 19th century and into the early 20th century. the idea of americans as unique people with unique skills, capabilities, and all you had to do was harness that. that carried on all the way through the second world war, i believe, the idea of a can-do spirit, once you give an american a task and a purpose, nobody in the world can be us. -- beat us. so i think that is something of an american cultural concept from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. if you have that general sense that yes, americans are a unique people and all you

and what i tried to tell my fellow israelis about american judaism is that american jew those who are -- lead a committed jewish life actually feel joy in their judaism that's a very strange idea for israelis. [laughter] israelis feel very proud to be jewish, by and large. they feel a deep sense of responsibility. but i wouldn't say that joy is the first word that comes to mind in how israelis experience their judaism. and there's this extraordinary sense of what you've managed to do here is to own judaism. in israel we kind of feel we're owned by judaism. and you own your judaism. you can do whatever you like because it's america. you can do anything, whatever you like. even judaism. and that's something that's liberating, and we need that in a sovereign jewish state because we have not begun to figure out what judaism should look like in a free public jewish space. >> but so part of what you're getting at is, you're right, angela, i mean, it is a luxury. i have a lot of luxuries in my life, you know? including as an american jew whose father changed his name from ginsburg to gregory

as americans entered world war ii, state administrators sought to integrate black americans into the cultural apparatus as they had in the 1930s. yet, the treatment of racial issues would unfold under much tighter parameters. wartime cultural officials were created with the explicit goal of boosting black moreale. some war officials understood and sympathized the african-american belief that the war against fascism was also a war against american racism. still, cultural administrators abided by the official line that the war was not a testing ground for social reform. in the 1940s, officials pronounced media based programs as a solution to the "negro problem." a means of securing black support when the possibility of dissent existed. by the onset of world war ii, black expectations ran high. fueled by wartime egalitarian rhetoric and african-american political mobilization. discontent became manifest among black politicians and in the black press. as one letter to roosevelt and the naacp's literary, the crisis, despite your occasions, -- despite year expectations of unity, the 13 mil

we are here today to keep americans working. that is our main job we need to treat this as a serious comprehensive effort to address long-term drivers of our debt. instead, we have this amendment to address the issue in the tax cut jobs act th bill extended fm one year to three years and this amendment is unnecessary. let's continue to see the benefits we just got done voting on and passing into law to help our economic growth and for those reasons i urge a no vote on this amendment. i'd like to yield of the remainder of my time to the gentle lady from tennessee, the former chairman. >> think the gentleman for yielding and as a member of the ways and means committee into this great kennedy that was the golden key to allowing us to do the budget for the tax reform very proud to have been a part of that. we just enacted this comprehensive tax reform and we are beginning to see the effect of that as the gentleman has already referenced. but we see the economy is moving into the workers are already seeing tangible gains. in fact ove

president, those are the types of things that americans dream about when they think about the american dream. well, it's pretty hard to accomplish any of those dreams if the economy is stagnant or struggling. it's pretty hard to work your way up the ladder if your company is having to lay people off. it's hard to buy a house or to save for the kids' college if you don't have anything left over once you've paid the bills. mr. president, during the last administration, the economy did not thrive. and as a result, american families struggled. and so when president trump took office, republicans and president trump made reversing our economic decline a priority. perhaps the two biggest drags on our economy during the obama administration were burdensome regulations and an outdated tax code. and so we took immediate action to roll back burdensome obama administration regulations and we got to work on reforming our outdated tax code. and six months ago, this week, we passed historic tax reform. before the tax cuts and jobs act, the tax code was not helping businesses grow and create jobs. in

too many americans are still struggling. in 2016, 12.3% of american households were food insecure. the supplemental nutrition assistance program or snap provides crucial assistance to tens of millions of americans almost half of whom are children and over 80% of s.n.a.p. households are living at or below the poverty line. first it's important to acknowledge the s.n.a.p. program is responsible for many long-term benefits. studies have shown access to snap back by pregnant women leads to healthier babies and girls have access to s.n.a.p. a children are 18% more like they did graduate from high high school. that's why it continually frustrate the majority blames her budget deficit on low-income families, seniors and victims of hunger especially when the cbo estimated the republican tax bill will explode the deficit by $1.9 trillion over 10 years. that's why i'm offering an amendment that rejects those resolutions deep cuts to s.n.a.p.. $157 billion over 10 years. whether it's the trump administration's budget the farm bill or this committee's budget it's obvious the intent of changes

there are at least 1.6 million americans -- 11.6 million americans in the united states, and most mexicans across the border say do so with legal visas. >> there is very little illegal immigration from mexico. after the recession, mexicans stopped coming across the border. it is a huge change in a lot of mexicans are coming in the says and much more professional strains. most are coming to the legal channels. has a lot ofration asians overstaying visas in different parts of the world, we don't have much illegal immigration compared to before 2007. the numbers dropped but it is --tly >> should the solution be stopping employers who hired the illegal immigrants working here in the u.s.? >> people are coming largely because of jobs. there's a push factor in the violence. i think both. we could do a little more in terms of people on the ground and technology at the border but a lot of it needs to happen at the place at the border. ways of people who have already been living in this country, becoming an american. if people have been upstanding communities -- citizens to their communities, they

american workers. [applause] the second it pillar of our strength is the family. indeed it is the central ittitution in any society, has been through strong families that america has passed on our values. love, work, tradition. you do not need to run for president to see the fate of the american family. than 5% of's, fewer children in this nation were born outside of america today the number is over 40% of the children born in america. adding to this, too many families are being buffeted by economic pressures that discourage family life. thaty social engineering seeks to replace family life. this is why we need both policy and the culture that will value and support the family the way the faith and freedom coalition supports. it is why i passionately fought against some in my own party to child tax pile -- credit. i will fight alongside the president to expand access to paid family leave. fund all, how can we hundreds of billions of dollars to give multinational corporations, many of which feel little

we produce the food, fuel, and fiber that feed the american people, clothe the american people, and fuel this economy. you can't have a safety net, you can't have food infrastructure, if you have a national sovereign debt crisis. so, it's the big one, and i'm proud that we attack that, not only with a blueprint that walks us through a sustainable path of chipping away the deficit and ultimately reducing the debt in less than ten years, but by making a meaningful down payment, if you will, in reduction of mandatory spending. we all know that that is what's driving the debt, the autospend, 70% of the budget. so, mr. chairman, again, it has been confirmed to me in my first term in congress that we aren't short on policy solutions to addressing our national debt. we are short on the political courage to do it collectively. to my colleague, mr. gaetz, we did this last year. we sent it to the senate. they stripped it out. we're going to give them another shot at doing the right thing. and we put another $100 billion in savings so that we could sustain these very important programs like social

it is actually the oldest african-american resort community founded by african americans.was founded as a place where african-americans could buy a plot of land for $25, build a cabin, and that is where they would come in the summer and spend their vacations. i went up there the first time when i was just six months old, so it goes way back in history. everyone from duke ellington, zora neale hurston, langston hughes, count basie all come there and stay there because they could not stay in hotels in denver during that period of history. so over time, after desegregation, a lot of the african-american institutions fell into disrepair and were sold off into different parts. and now we have developed a wonderful program that serves our community in so many different ways. 6000 inner-city kids every summer come to the ranch. we also give to about 200-300 wounded veterans every year. in the winter, though, when the ranch is pretty much shut down, one of the things that we identified -- my wife identified this -- that there are programs, one is called together we rise that we pa

background checks have broad support among the american public and polling indicates 97% of americans were in favor of universal background checks including 83% of gun owners. this is a smart investment that will ensure this is federal agencies of the funding needed to report these records and ensure the dangerous individuals are not able to pass a background check. i hope my colleagues will do what is right to keep people safer than doing the bidding of the nra lobbyists in washington. i would like to yield my remaining time over to representative jackson lee. >> i would thank him for his tours in iraq. we know if there are background checks which is bipartisan we realize there are 47% fewer suicides i if women shot to deah in 53% fewer law-enforcement officers culled by handguns and in addition each year nearly 115,000 are shot with a firearm. gaps in the background check allow felons for domestic abusers anthe domesticabusers as increases to obtain guns through transfers at gun shows and online without undergoing a background check. we must close the loophole but more importantly i

a lot of americans are clearing for an american president who puts our country first.nine: why wouldn't they cheer for a man fighting for us. he's not beholding to anyone but us, and they don't appreciate it. >> i think that was the most of important point you made earlier in the show. he's not a person who comes with so many hooks in him from all the donor class, and it's one of the reasons people can't stand him, because they can't control him. they can't call him up and say mr. president remember how much money we raised for you, if you don't come through -- he says no you didn't get me here. a lot of ordinary people did and i'm bead holden to no one. -- i'm beholden to no one. >> let me ask you, you know more about the trump women and the trump family than anyone. what do they do on a day like today? are they the most of stoic human beings? are they dead inside? what's their deal? >> yes, yes and yes. they don't see president trump the way all of us see president trump. they have such a distorted image of who he is. they don't have the reaction we do. >> they are m

when kostia struggled to make sense of some american political terminology, the american who hired him would josh him about his martial past. "if i had you translate there are seven tanks and three infantry with heavy mortar hiding on a bridge, you could translate that the lickety split, i bet." according to this american official, konstantin kilimnik would wink and say, oh, yeah, i can translate that real fast." so the international republican institute had this office in moscow. they had a guy working on their staff for ten years who was openly known to have been trained by military intelligence. he talked about it. they teased him about it. it was an open point of discussion in that office. they ended up firing him for cause. and then later that same month after they fired him all of a sudden the head of the fsb is in russian parliament denouncing the group and quoting from their internal meetings which this guy had attended just weeks before he got fired. as "the new york times" put it recently, they didn't have evidence but they suspected that kilimnik had been the source for the

this is part of protecting the rights of the american worker, the american citizen.s heartbreaking, of course it is. the children are wanting for their parents. just as it is in our country when parents make terrible choices and commit a crime. the point is, don't come across our border illegally. if you're seeking asylum legitimately, come to the port of entry, do it the right way and you won't be separated from your children. that's the way to protect children, not just the ones that are already here but the ones that are possibly en route. >> i'm out of time. rick, i take your nod as an ascent to what steve just said. you both are welcome to be on our show. although, steve, i don't think they'll take your words and put it on the statue of liberty any time soon. >>> the president is not going to stop this policy. why? he likes the policy. i know people are saying he doesn't like it, it hurts his heart. i'm not seeing proof of that. what will congress do? senator harris is leading the charge. a democrat makes her case on "prime time," next. find the remote yet? nah.
