i'm program manager here at aei. i want to learn a little bit more about dr. king's reliance on the declaration of independence. was that rhetorical move long standing in his thought and was a controversial within the civil rights movement in other words, was it seen perhaps were the were there those critiqued him for using this document written by a white man written at a time when slavery was widespread or were was this generally agreed upon as a as a rallying point? was there any controversy over the use of the declaration of independence. not as much as you might think, but, yeah, there was there were a lot of people who said, why are you quoting all those white folks? they were slaveholders. as i said, there was some tension in the movement to dismiss the thing as and yet if you want something that's going to appeal to everybody, the lines in, order to realize fundamental change. you can't start anywhere else. frankly, i think studied the constitution more than he did more than he did the declaration of independence. but let freedom and those lines you kn

it could be well into the $300 billion range when you convert -- and aei has done a study saying it could be higher. somewhere between one third and one half of american military spending. easily the second biggest budget on earth and doubling every 7 to 10 years. it is less than 2% of china's gdp but the gdp is substantial enough that it is still a lot of money. the war we worry about fighting against china is far from our shores. i don't think they could come close to being a bottom line assessment of whether we spend on. a couple more tobreak down the defense budget request. if you are sewerious about which military services spend the most, at this point, it is the navy and the air force. although bear in mind the air force's budget includes a lot of the intelligence budgets. out of the $850 billion in total u.s. national defense budgeting now, $100 billion is the intelligence budgeting, hidden within the defense department, hidden in plain sight because of the number $100 billion is now public and unclassified. every other detail about the intelligence budget more or less is clsified.
