in americans' lives. it is so pervasive that we call it the white noise of american lives. most american people aren't even conscious that everywhere you look in american life, you will find imagery of american indians. and we are arguing that this imagery exists as evidence of the deeply entangled history that americans and american indians share. in exploring the history that lies behind this imagery, we explore three events in u.s. history. the story of pocahontas, the trail of tears and the battle of the little big horn. today we're going to explore the battle of the little big horn. the 1876 battle of the little big horn was fought between the u.s. cavalry and an alliance of the lakota and the cheyenne and the arapahoe. this was a devastating defeat for the u.s. army. it resulted in the death of general george armstrong custer, who was a civil war hero and in the death of almost 300 u.s. cavalry men. this was the most shocking event in u.s. history of the late 19th century. but within a very short pe

to put americans in such a position of weakness, to put americans in such a vulnerable position so it's anvu unforgivable dereliction of duty. they won't even commit to keeping american forces on the ground past the original in august 31 deadline. the taliban are clear. they are not willing to go beyond that deadline, they want the u.s. gone and apparently they are calling all the shots. they don't know how many americans are behind enemy lines. they don't even know how many americans have already been evacuated and what will happen to all of the afghans, the allies that helped us over the last 20 years. apparently the taliban has a list of names of all of them. will biden let them be slaughtered? the only thing we do know right now is that thousands of innocent souls, our fellow americans have been left stranded, trapped, held hostage behind enemy lines unable to even get inside the airport in kabul with mixed messaging make your way to the airport but can't guarantee your safety on saturday told don't make your way to the airport, it's not safe today. but according to jen psaki's alte

american well-being. you see the emergence of language that echos the yellow peril language we saw earlier in american history. opponents portrayed southeast asian people as a germ-ridden people who threatened public health. there's no telling what kind of diseases they will bring with them. when asked to identify what diseases exactly they might be bringing, he couldn't quite name them. he said, i don't know. but there's bound to be some kind of tropical germs floating around. hostility to southeast asian refugees boiled down to simple racism sometimes. at a high school, for example, near niceville, students discussed plans to establish a gook klux klan. this is in many ways resident with what we are hearing today of a variety of reasons why people are concerned about admitting refugees. the funny about refugees, about southeast asian refugees, is that given all of the hostility, it actually happened. southeast asian refugees were as the historian put it, given the intensity of this public opposition, it

she wrote in her column about the italian americans, the german americans, the japanese americans. these are our american citizens, these are our friends and neighbors. let's not forget that. maybe she had some influence. but not entirely enough. and people wonder why the german americans and italian americans didn't go into camps in larger numbers. thousands of them did. you wrote a picture and did the research and know about that, how those people were treated of they had the advantage that they looked more like what an american was supposed to look like, and the japanese-americans stood out. and there was this real concern about the invasion of the west coast. there were japanese submarines sighted out in the pacific ocean and there were some incidents. but nothing -- nothing to implicate japanese-americans themselves. so we have really got to stay on top of this. >> people like my dad were an immigrant from japan. but he wanted to do something to help in the war effort. so he applied to the university of chicago that was running a ram for the army called the astp, army speciali

169 americans. so it is a process to try to figure out how we deal with the mad rush of non-americans, those who did not help, those who are not on the priority list, just any afghan, any afghan to be able to get out of the country. so my guess is that, no matter what, under what circumstance, there is not a whole lot of afghani's -- there is a whole lot of afghanis who would just assume come to america, whether there was any involvement with the united states in the past at all, rather than stay under taliban rule, any rule. what i was saying is we have an agreement that they will let pass through the checkpoints that they, the taliban control, let americans through. >> given the negotiations with the taliban, the scenes we are seeing, can you fully explain why the plan was not to go ahead with these evacuations of both americans and allies before bagram was closed, the past several months? there seems to be a broad consensus that the taliban when make these gains and this would be needed at some p

is it americans?y dynamic and you know, with trans com and the commanders and those manifests are done, they make those decisions, you know, on the spot. so the idea that only siv's have fully processed are going to be coming into the u.s. for now or will there be a situation where any of the afghans, evacuated with be brought onto bases and then worked through the system once they're here? >> so it's very important what we'll continue to do the full screening and vetting process that takes place from the beginning all the way to making a final decision of where somebody goes. i know we will continue that and then going back to right now, the guidance is and will continue, to continue to increase our outflows to make that happen. >>, is the american flag flying at the airport in kabul right now? >> yes. >> there's some talk from veterans and people that served in afghanistan that the u.s. embassy which cost over nearly $800 million to build, why was that closed and the flag taken to the airport? shoul

you've been watching "american artifacts" on c-span3's american history tv. american history tv's american artifacts visited the national gallery of art to learn about an exhibit featuring the memorial to robert gould shaw and the 54th massachusetts volunteer infantry. up next, an additional segment from the program with co-curator saro greenough, regarding the legacy of the memorial and efforts to conserve the once neglected bronze sculpture in boston. >> the 54th massachusetts regiment, augusta saint-gauden shaw memorial, has continued to reverberate through american culture in the 20th and 21st century. artists, poets, writers have reflected on its importance throughout this time. there have been poems written to it, composers have reflected on it. st. gaudens himself was one of the first people to try and promote knowledge about his memorial as soon as it was installed. he commissioned curtis and cameron, who were a company that made prints that circulated images of the finest works of art that america had created. they circulated these images to colleges

you believe americans, american citizens who put their lives on the line for america.rians who shoot women who won't cover their faces. who take young girls as brides. who have daily carnivals to watch the stoning of women and gays to death. you leave american citizens and afghan allies who put their lives on the line for america when there was no reason? you don't have the lightest idea what you are doing. you are clueless. but more than that, you are dangerous. and you believate about how you are being received so well by the international community. you are america is back. hey, stupid, the u.k. parliament condemned the united states, holding joe biden in contempt for the debacle in afghanistan. the head of german chance lower merkel's party described the withdrawal as the biggest nato debacle since its founding. while the brits and the french stunned by the unilateral withdrawal from the united states without even an email or phone call or return call to prime minister boris johnson. the brits and the french damped the torpedoes and did what everybody in america wo

american terms. in order to insure a good trade, in order to insure peace, they had to get together and conduct diplomacy with native american peoples. and the protocols and customs and language and metaphors that govern that diplomacy were not european in origin. they were native american in origin. this is a testimony to the amount of power that native american people had, that europeans had to learn to conduct business on their turf, right, to do it by their method. so, franklin, when he ultimately publishes the treaty of lancaster does send something like 200 copies off to his agent in london because he thinks they might sell there. he thinks people in london might be interested in learn being this, learn being native american people through this context of diplomacy. okay. historians, when they talk about diplomacy between native americans and europeans in the colonial era often use a metaphor that i like that i will share with you today, which is the middle ground, thattese diplomatic negotiati

check back >>> good evening my fellow americans. ten days ago in my report to the nation on vietnam i announced the decision to withdraw an additional 150,000 americans from vietnam over the next year. i said then that i was making that decision despite our concern over increased enemy activity in laos, in cambodia and in south vietnam. and at that time i warned that, if i included that increased enemy activity in any of these areas endangered the lives of americans remaining in vietnam, i would not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation. despite that warning, north vietnam has increased its military aggression in all these areas and particularly in cambodia. after full consultation with the national security council, ambassador bunker, general abrams and my other advisers, i have concluded that the actions of the enemy in the last ten days clearly endanger the lives of americans who are in vietnam now and would constitute an unacceptable risk to those who will be there after withdrawal of another

i did not think the american government would plan to leave thousands of americans behind. this is not a partisan issue, this is not a republican, democrat, green party. tomorrow is another opportunity. this is your moment, this is your time to put america before politics. it is simple. what is the administration's plan now that they left american citizens behind to get them home? given the grieving, the reports are the tobin now have more blackhawk helicopters in australia. -- then australia. do not recognize the taliban. isis-k, al qaeda, the taliban are all -- no cash delivered to the taliban. that is what america expects of elected officials. i think that is what america expects from this administration. this is going to come to the floor tomorrow. the question will be to those democratic members, are they going to stand behind the decision to leave americans behind, because we will not. we will not leave them behind. we need a plan to get them out, and we need to have that in place tomorrow. let's open up for questions. >> eventually come up possibly bring impeachment

finally it was an american -- it was in american hands.ond division insignia with the star is seen throughout the western front, and this marker was put up to show that it was the second division that reached this part of the line. i'm standing in one of the abandoned german trenches that had been raked by artillery fire, from june 26th when bella wood was firmly in american hands the second division troops stayed in this area and were able to have a line of sight across the valley to theless brugges farm which was occupied by the germans. the americans used this to observe the german movements across the fally from the le brugges farm as they started to attack chateau-thierry once again where they had been driven from early in june but july 1819 the americans had driven them once again from chateau-thierry and chateau-thierry was once again back in american and french hands. >> the alliance quest to counterattack forward and by the end of july the entire tide had turned and the initiative turned to allied hands where it would remain. eigh

that many americans in country? >> i think you've heard us say before we don't have a perfect figure of how many are in afghanistan, let alone kabul. and as the general said, if you're an american and you're at a gate, you'll be let in that gate. the state department is doing the best job they can to advise americans who still haven't made it to the airport, what the situation looks like around the airport. that would be the prudent thing to do. and as you also heard the president make clear yesterday, that we're going to continue to explore options to assist americans as needed. we will do that. we will do that here at the pentagon. if there's a need to do something different than what we are already doing to facilitate them getting into the airport, then we'll certainly consider those options. >> is there a separate advisory that goes out to afghan nationals who have the visas in hand? i mean, are they, too, being told the threat dynamic is dynamic. i mean, the threat situation is dynamic right now. be aware? >> y

on january 20th of this year, kabul was free, the american embassy, afghanistan was free, the american embassy in kabul was working fine. and then what happened after that? 2500 american troops and 5,000 nato troops where they are keeping the peace. and then chaos ensued. >> sean: let me go to you, ari fleischer. you are a communications pro of all pros. so, the president has remained quiet as the world watched, you know, all weekend long, that this was imminent, that kabul was taken over, and joe biden stayed on vacation. he flew in, he gave a ten minute speech that somebody else had obviously written, he took no questions, he went back on vacation again. then he does what i consider to be disastrous interview with george stephanopoulos. and saying "oh, no, no, we did everything right." you know, "there's nothing i think we could have improved on. the chaos was priced into the fact of any withdrawal, and i inherited this." "well, no one is being killed right now" beautiful you know, no one warned him against withdrawing, now we have all ofe contrary. now he is going on vacation again.

♪♪ ♪♪ >>> now on american history, professor c. thompson teaches a class about the preamble of the declaration of independence. he reviews each line and explores what the founding fathers may have intended by their word choices. >> good afternoon, everybody. so for the last six weeks in this class, we've been examining the political fog of the imperial crisis. that is, we've been looking at the debates between british imperial officials and american whig patriots. that debate has really, in many ways, come down to one issue. which is, broadly speaking, what is the british constitution, and how does it define relations between the mother country and her colonies? more specifically even, the real question is, what is the political constitutional relationship between the power and the authority of the british parliament and america's colonial legislatures? and over the course of about 12 years, between 1764 and 1776, the british parliament passed a series of laws. in 1764, it began with the sugar act. then a year later, the stamp act.

it's the way the american soldier is. the american soldier's still doing it today. he's going out there and not fighting for himself. he's fighting for everybody else around him to give him freedom. that's what these soldiers did, they died trying to give france back their freedom. what i can say is this, i have never had a american say this is a waste of money. i have had americans tell me, this is what they want to see their taxpayer money go to. none of these men or women that went out here got to go home, walk their daughter down the aisle, see their son get married or sit in a lounge chair or something or rocking chair in their front porch and die of old age. these people didn't do this. they died at a young age for their brothers and their sisters around them, and they died and when they died, they gave their life to somebody else. let's not forget them. can't forget them. >>> next, phillip zelikow talks about his book "the road last traveled," the secret battle to end the great war 1916 to 1917. it examines a five month period during which the united states,

we have heard of secret details to retrieve american citizens. there were a few hundred brought in so they have slowed in their number. but given the biden administration's priority to take american citizens out, that could prolong this operation potentially. i have to be honest with you, all we're hearing at this point is the window narrowing. the evacuation task being harder. the people they want to get on being harder to find. the taliban intensifying their positions around and away from the airport. also i heard from a source familiar with the situation that the australians, canadians and italians have become their wholesale departure so nato allies packing up too. this is all moving very fast and out of the airport. they're capable of extraordinary airlifts on a 24-hour basis we've seen over the past few days. the question is how do they fulfill the numbers of people for their planes and how do they choose the right ones. >> and how long evacuations go as they have to take out their personnel and their resources. nick, let me stay with you.

the american people have a right to know. then we should pass as a body and gallagher's bill prohibits us from leaving on the 31st. the question should not be dictated by taliban on the date. the answer should be based upon when americans are fully and completely out of afghanistan. that is what we would take up good it is simple. it is straightforward. i believe the president says what america says matters, let america speak and let america talent. reporter: -- tell it. rep. mccarthy: i have never had such poor briefing at any given time. i will tell you inside that briefing, i had republicans and democrats based upon the information they were given in the past, i had questions by democrats i heard wanting an answer they said they would not give it. why would you quit? why would you quit with five days to go? when americans are still sitting over there? when you have allies? the u.k., france, germany who have fought with us in afghanistan because they were attacked but because america was attacked, who have asked this presid

americans there. let me have one question to that president or anyone else in charge -- what is your plan to bring americans home? you knowingly made a decision that you are leaving them there. you acknowledge the mother to before, there is 11,000--a month or two before, 11,000 to 15,000 americans there. you are now going to put pressure on the taliban when we are going to bring them home? the president told americans there to go to the airport. in less than 30 minutes we had a conference call with his own leadership who said not to go to the airport. the number of members here in congressional district that worked to bring americans home, when they went to the airport as the state department told him to come they said the taliban would take their papers and shoot at them or have them run back. the lies have got to stop, the account ability needs to be there, but most importantly, americans need to be able to be brought home. this cannot be our history, this cannot be where this ends. we will not allo

african-americans needed hope. and someone made an anonymous donation for them to change the name to most pure heart of mary church and that was done. and it was initially established for the creoles and african-americans of the mobile community. it's been a thriving church in the community ever since. there's a parochial school here that has the first through the eighth grade. there was a high school, two-story building, and the high school closed in 1968. we had a national figure, alexis herman. she became secretary of labor during bill clinton's administration. she attended school here. this is where she graduated from. some of the reasons that it's on the trail is that during the civil rights days, neighborhood organized workers had to have a place to meet. and ultimately, the school's cafeteria was the only place in the city that would allow them to meet, to strategize on how they were going to approach the problems that existed in the african-american community and trying to resolve them with the city. the nu

and it can go down when we reach americans. we thought we're and i can't stand who tell us they've already left. there could be other americans and i began to stand who never enrolled with the embassy, who ignored public evacuation notices and have not yet identified themselves to us . we've also found that many people who contact us and identify themselves as american citizens, including by filling out and submitting repatriation assistance forms or not. in fact, us citizens. something that can take some time to verify. some americans may choose to stay in afghanistan. some were enrolled and some who are not, many of them are dual nationals and they consider i can't stand their home because of their for decades or who want to stay close to extended family. and there are americans who are still evaluating their decision to leave based on the situation on the ground that evolves daily. in fact, that evolves hourly. some are understandably, very scared. each has a set of personal priorities and considerations that they alone can

>> american citizens. i think as the general briefed, just in the last 24 hours of the 2000 that got out, it was a mix of american citizens and family members as well as seshl immigrant visa applicants and other at-risk afghans and you will see that every day, gordon. we want to take care of our fellow americans and secretary and chairman were clear about that but we also want to take care of at-risk afghans and special visa am ka*nts. -- applicants. we are processing people as fast as we can and getting them onto their on ward stations. it is a balance and we're trying to strike that balance every single day. >> what proportion of the 2,000 are american citizens versus sivs, what proportion are women? as well? >> i don't have a gender breakdown. of the 2,000 over the last 24 hours i think nearly 300 of them were americans and that includes legal permanent residents, it includes american citizens as well as family members. that's going to -- every day it will change. i don't have a gender breakdown what th

it was designed to save american lives. my predecessor, the former president, signed an agreement with the taliban to remove u.s. troops by may 1, just months after i was inaugurated. it included no requirement that the taliban work out a cooperative government arrangement with the afghan government. but it did authorize the release of 5000 prisoners last year, including some of be taliban's top war commanders. among those who just took control of afghanistan. and by the time i came to office, the taliban was in its strongest military position since 2001. controlling or contesting nearly half of the country. the previous administration's agreement said that if we stuck to the may 1 deadline, the taliban would not attack any american forces. but if we stayed, all bets were off. so we were left with a simple decision. eiler follow through by the commitment made by the last administration and leave afghanistan, or say we were not leaving and commit another tens of thousands of more troops going back to war. that was the choice

americans out.ying this as heartbreak but if they could not accommodate americans who wanted to get out. that's a quote. what does that mean could not accommodate. >> that means they are inept. incapable. what is sickening is when her own secretary of defense that we did not have the capabilities to export american citizens through the taliban around the airport and yet we didn't have those capabilities. why does the united kingdom and france have those capabilities? from the get go, why did they allow an arbitrary date of august 31 by the telegram an enemy, terrorist group in charge most of the country. harking back to 20 years ago which gave us 9/11 and why in the world that this inept biden a ministration allow the air base will be given away easily defendable to runway, 10000 feet long run given a i did they leave $85 of equipment weaponry therefore our enemies to get? why on earth with a fee given lists of american citizens still there, green card holders afghan allies? frankly, it is inexcusab

it is not what the american people want. it is not what our troops, who have sacrificed so much in the past two decades, deserve. i made a commitment to the american people when i ran for president, that i would bring america's involvement in afghanistan to an end. it has been hard and messy and far from perfect, but i have honored that commitment. more importantly, i made a commitment to the brave men and women who serve this nation that i wasn't going to ask them to continue to risk their lives in a military action that should have ended long ago. our leaders did that in vietnam when i got here as a young man. i will not do it in afghanistan. i know my decision will be criticized, but i would rather take all of that criticism then pass this decision onto another president of the united states, a fifth one, because it is the right one, it is the right decision for our people. the right one for our brave servicemembers who risk their lives serving our nation. it is the right one for america. thank you, may god protect our tr

whether americans would stay beyond deadline, american troops. president biden is holding firm, he said, to his timeline to get u.s. personnel out of afghanistan by august 31st. saying we are on pace to meet the deadline but he wants contingency plans if they can't make it. intel officials have testified on capitol hill, we're told by multiple sources, on both sides of the aisle, that the administration can't get all the americans and afghan allies out on time. the president said more time on the ground means more time our troops could face attacks. >> every day we're on the ground is another day we know isis k is seeking to target the airport and attack both u.s. and allied forces and innocent civilians. >> bret: a version isis not the taliban or al-qaeda. but the president says that timetable of august 31st is contingent on taliban cooperation. and fox news is receiving multiple new reports the taliban is harassing individuals, even passport holding americans on the way to the kabul airport. u.s. troops and civilians are continuing evacuating t

you have done is lie to the american people betrayed the american people and the american soldiers onnd and betray the afghans and in doing so the lights of freedom are going out all over afghanistan i can honestly say as winston churchill said, we don't know they will ever be lit again in our lifetime and afghanistan is just the beginning. judge: clearly, with the taliban having all of the military equipment that we have. it is sophisticated that they will figure it out with china or iran or anyone else. but the whole idea the biden administration is trying to make us believe that they have to get out because the taliban tells us, this is so against the american eat those of please no one behind. america is upside down how was the rest of the world looking at us? >> exactly as was designed. as if we are without power or authority we are we. we are on trustworthy we cannot be relied upon and believe me al qaeda is celebrating. why on earth would anyone ever due to the united states with the biden administration has done? there isn't a military person that will tell you all the things
