and to lobby congress to set an annual date for a national thanksgiving. in the 1840's, she used her monthly column to publish an of editorialsries on thanksgiving. her goal was to have thanksgiving day established as national holiday and observed on a uniform date throughout the country. washington had selected the last thursday in november. date hale chose. she devoted column after column dream of ag her national thanksgiving. she kept track of where and when celebrated.was in 1847, she wrote that she was, quote, glad to see that this good old puritan custom is becoming popular throughout the nation. the previous year she reported 21 or 22 of the 28 states observed thanksgiving. in 1862, she told readers that of states that celebrated the holiday in 1861, war,irst year of the civil had grown to 24 plus three territories. hale argued that a thanksgiving that was celebrated around the country would have what she moral influence on america's national character. theme would recur again and again in her lady's book especially as the country move

in my book i referred to a well-established political tradition that sees nationalism as a principal political standpoint understands the world of governed best when it consists of independent nations that are permitted to chart their own constitutional religious and legal course according to their own light. this is opposed to imperialism where it is understood as any attempt to view the political order of the world is governed best when as much as possible it is brought under a single government or regime of law that has been on enforced as on in many nations as possible. these conflicting definitions reflect an agent political argument. there is in academia. there is an academia and a tradition of describing nationalism as though it is some kind of modern phenomenon. i don't see it that way. i understand the nation to be something that can be identified going all the way back to into coody. and in fact, in the classic of western civilization. we head among the pillars we have the hebrew bible which is a set of texts among other things. deals extensively the questions that we are ca

criticism of donald trump after all trump calls himself a nationalist is nationalism a dirty word to. cross talking nationalism i'm joined by my guest john laughlin in strasburg he's a lecturer in political philosophy and isis the catholic university in new york we have george samuel he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london and author of bombs for peace and in our burn we have rockwell he is a political commentator and editor of lew rockwell dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate john let me go to you first but i'd like to quote i guess the aspiring sun king of europe there are no other well known as the president of france mccrone he said this patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism national him is a betrayal of patriotism and i'd also like to throw in another quote that he said earlier this year when he was a candidate which absolutely stunned me still does quote as candidate there is no such thing as french culture what is this man talking about john. or whenever i

the movie "birth of a nation" was showing in washington, d.c., at this very time. and they felt that what they were doing was a way for them to respond. the second thing that's significant about this is that this took place at the 19th street baptist church. a historic church, and the pastor at the time was reverend brooks, our own dr. brooks higginbotham's grandfather. [ applause ] so, they were going to fight back and fight back with this movement to create a memorial. and this was very tough sledding because the southern democrats in congress were against these bills. they were actually introducing bills to ban african-americans from serving in the army during this time. but these people were without fear, and they organized, and they raised money, and they started chapters in states all over the country. and within a couple of years, they actually realized that this memorial should be more than just a memorial to veterans. of course, our service in the armed forces is important, but we've contributed in the arts and in education and inventions and business and m

poverty is one of our society's greatest deals in a nation of so much. it's a shame to have so many with so little. it's even more of a shame for some of our lawmakers to literally blame those in poverty for their circumstance. you are not your circumstance. you know, poverty hinders progress and it destroys dreams. but however we know that this cycle of despair, we can shine a ray of light and a ray of hope and that promise of a quality education. education has the ability to make progress possible. it has the ability to make no dream seem too big. you know, saying pull yourself up by your own boot straps, well, education is that boot strap. even in poverty, education can provide hope, and no one -- i repeat -- no one, no one has the right to take that hope away from any child. so national action network, members of congress, all of the allies across the spectrum, let's once again, let's pledge ourselves to fulfilling our shared mission and let's make education not a privilege of the wealthy but a right of the whole because anything less is a betrayal of

a nation is the idea of shared memories. part of those shared memories is forgetting other memories, forgetting other aspects of history in order to cohere around a kind of story. we talked about this whole part of collective memory and the relation to nationalism. here today we're going to see it at work. that's what this lecture today is about. all right, so just to review where we have come from and where we are going to next. we have talked about definitions and just to review this sort of duel part to it, the passive sense of american exceptionalism which is a kind of model, right. so this definition, the position assumes that the u.s. has in some way achieved what all others nations are seeking or that the u.s. is called to achieve and so to model what all others are seeking. but not to a certain sense to intervene. this is the passive model. the active model, this idea has been sent on a mission, right, the position assumes that our calling is to spread our blessings and those can be defined in any number of ways, but

because this, a national interest, it is a national interest that the man's a response from both theeral government and from private sector. recently we have seen many prominent technology companies take ownership of the threat posed by foreign adversaries or export tech platforms for malign purposes. just last week facebook announced it had removed more than 550 pages and 250 accounts that attempted to grab readers attention, drive web traffic to additional sites and manipulate consumers. and this week twitter announced it was shutting down almost 4000 accounts attributed to the criminally it an agency almost 800 accounts attributed to iranian actors. all this is a good thing, and we hope these kinds of private sector actions will continue. we must agree and must not allow foreign adversaries the ability to use our indigenous and privately produced technologies to divide us as a nation. and beyond the positive actions that these companies have recently taken, we would welcome greater partnerships with the technology sector. we recognize that our intelligence warnings and assessments

ism this kind of national separatism and that was and that is in a sense what people like georgia. and various corporatist elements are doing today they foster every kind of separatism because that weakens the nation states so for instance in in russia they would force the separatism in the caucasus. however they also for you know force the ukrainian nationalists and they so they were fostering the very bad and the rats run a hand in georgia ended i would run out of time here i just want to say you could be proud of your nation in makes you feel proud here that's all the time we have gentlemen many thanks to my guest and structure of new york and in auburn and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember. blushes and then she chewed the cheek a total more than the beach he cut the host for each senor he said it's not that it's in detention since that only shooting against. let him into. the utility bills if i said ok you needed at least then you're a loser that i was called but i'm going to have to be scared to show up for the patrol believe you s

go back to this concept, i would probably mispronounce it, you're saying we need somehow to find a national narrative that is maybe embedded in-laws but articulate and various political narratives that speaks to people both sides of, because whatever the moral equivalence or lack of equivalence, you can a functioning society unless you're above a functioning democratic liberal democratic society of usher about some minimum threshold of members of that society feeling as though they're they are being seen and respected as human beings. >> that's right. it's all about pride. one of the things i think political scientists now recognize a lot of their empirical research is people do not vote rationally. they just don't vote rationally. they vote based on the partisan affiliations and the partisan affiliations are driven by since the community, a sense of pride in a certain membership, and a certain identity. and so it's all quite irrational. i think politicians that simply speak to peoples economic interests or a kind of rational calculation as to what policy should benefit them don't understan

constitution, constitution, our has endured, guided us through our many stumbles and , whilemings as a nationseeing be inexorable march towards liberty and freedom. it is a document that makes no of political party or faction. only we the people hold these truths self-evident that all men are created equal. we say it all the time. we learned in school. it really is who we are. up toen't always lived it, but we never walked away from it. in the weeks following another ,ontentious political season the presentation of the liberty medal is a critical reminder that neither republicans or democrats hold a monopoly on the values and ideals that define us as a nation. i am proud to be her tonight to former president george w. bush and first lady laura bush. it's no secret president bush and i occasionally had political disagreements.

we have long been a nation with a minority government. in any presidential election, about 40% of the elected -- electorate will show up. three out of five americans don't care. they don't bother to vote. it's even worse down on the lower level. two months ago i spoke in a well-known town in the state and i spoke to a longtime friend who was mayor. he pointed out that he first one victory when 19% of the electorate voted. 19% would consist of his neighborhood, the congregation of the church, people he met on the street, and as he took out on the newspaper. most of americans didn't give a hoot who was mayor. we have to stop it. you can stop it in local elections. each one of you knows to friends. tell your two friends to vote, take them to the ballot box. you will win the election. stop with all levels electing candidates who stage grand spectacles, talk a good game, but are hesitant to block legislation that threatens our heritage. we call such protection of our heritage by a special word, it is patriotism. find out fromme candidates have

is said to have a common meeting, white nationalism. en the president uses it to describe himself and globalism to describe his opponents, racists at home are thrilled. he sees it as a sign he is one of their own. the president and some of his supporters the night this is the president's intent, defending his rhetoric by expanding he does not use those words in the same sense of fascism and racist right. n froms from jay bookma the atlanta journal-constitution. the problem of nationalism. from rochester, new york, democrats line. caller: how are you doing? the united states is supposed to be a beacon of light. if ec wrong in the world -- if you see wrong in the world -- we are one of the richest countries in the world. so, it is just a bunch of baloney. we all are immigrants. the early people that should be here are indians. and south american it should be the aztecs. our ancestors all came from somewhere from the east. they can here to decide of the world. it is crazy. point, how do you see the world and america's role in it? what shoul

plan it for seize a national conference early in the year in libya and allowing libyans themselves to decide what sort of democracy they want to see a parliamentary or a presidential system to decide on an electoral law and then a date for a vote aiming for something by june of two thousand and nineteen will they all agree that's what i think everybody will want to see out of this the russians and the americans have already informally said they back the plan khalifa haftar are of course a reluctant participant so we were told the general from the east but he's at the table he's part of the process will be part of a solution that i think is what everyone will want to find out still ahead on al jazeera iran's foreign minister says he has credible information that saudi arabia . officials sprains foreign secretary says it is ninety five percent complete but is that final five percent that's. hello there it's going to turn a lot cooler for some of us in the northern parts of age or over the next few days so thanks to this weather system head it's gradually slipping its way southwards and

state to decide whether it is a function of nation state or a theocratic moment. that was human rights campaign ashanti speaking with us a little earlier they debbie has reached out to the pakistani government for comment when ten people have been killed in floods in sicily and the agency workers say the bodies of the family including three children were found in the house near the capital police at least another twenty people have been killed due to storms in italy over the last week. centuries old forests like this one and the vonetta region destroyed within just a few days storm set battered the whole of eataly since last sunday but the worst hit areas in the north many of the dead were killed by falling trees. in the province of blue no winds reach two hundred ninety kilometers an hour and moves off houses. so the shadow went out here and looked upward and i shouted that the roof was blown away that we were stuck five days without a phone without electricity without anything and without well it's ok because nobody could regency as. residents here were cut off

if you're going to inspire someone, an idea a nation, that's essentially what these posters did. a little bit of background why these posters came about, you have to understand wilson, president woodrow wilson was elected as the peace candidate. his platform was, he kept us out of war. wilson convinced the entire nation to vote for him, to turn the other cheek and be impartial to the activities in europe. now, events change and there is a number of events that happened. i have my first poster to show you, and you take a look at it. it's the only poster i have with one word. enlists. and it is enlists. this is an early poster done in 1915, and it's about the sinking of the lusitania. our world is hearing the rumbles of war. you see a young lady clutching her infant and the story goes she was washed up upon the irish coast clutching her baby. remember, this a whole nation is that is neutral. the huge irish-american and german-american population are very lukewarm to war with germany. events like this, the sinking of ships, the loss of american lives starts to shift the feeling towar

constitution, and the national bank and banking system, and the tradition of a peaceful transfer of powerrom one president elected by the people, to the next president. there are fascinating, diverse stories that has everything to do it who we are today, powerful stories that ignite the national pride and also provoke reflection on what did and did not happen in 1776 and 1787. the stories bring relevancy from our historic foundation to today's world and possibilities. the stories have many connections to veterans and our military. george washington was made commander in chief here. here is where the u.s. army was created. here is the tomb of the unknown soldier from the revolutionary war. even today, we continue the tradition of supporting our veterans and the military. i am proud to serve with many veterans here at the park and we host numerous military reenlistment promotion and retirement ceremonies, including some right in front of the liberty bell. independence national historical park is an important, special place. there isn't a better time or place to honor president and mrs. bush

we have long been a nation with a minority government. you probably don't know this but in any presidential election, about 40% of the elected would show up. that me put it another way. any presidential election, three out of five americans don't care. they don't bother to vote, and the statistics are worse down on the lower level were government should be more important because it touches your life so closely. to two months ago i spoke in a well-known town in the state and i spoke to a long time freddie was mayor of the town for years and years. in the discussion he pointed out with a chuckle that he first won victory when 19% of the electorate voted. 90% would consist of his neighborhood and people that he met on the streets and made a couple of ads that he put in the newspaper. that will get you 20% and it got him victory. for a very -- four out of every five did not give a hoot. we have to stop it, and you can stop in local elections. you know each one of you knows two friends who are lethargic and will not bother to vote. tell your f

a half million if you. as you as you know the united nations mission conducted. about seventy to eighty meetings around the entire country attended by over a thousand people and they produced the report does summarizes what the population most likely wants to see and that's the building block for the conference additionally there was. there was a stalemate between the h.-o. or the house of representatives and the state council and the. presidential council about how to progress and we've spent about two years since the implementation of the libyan political agreement produce of there are without any progress so that's what forces i guess our sense that imus and into adopting the second step plan if you like and go into a national conference with more participators than just before that we saw in right ok coming to you then yes as in tunis we saw an array of international actors attending this conference simpler. everybody seems to have a vested interest some kind of interest in the future of libya a briefly if you can tell us why for instance the french are so hig

be a nation of liberty and justice not for some, but for all. and that's where we are right now in america. the american dream hangs in the balance yet again because this is a moral moment in our country and everybody here has to make the decision, where we begin to have your ideals as a nation as powerful interests get more powerful, and working americans lose their opportunities that the foundation of this country become quicksand into poverty, hopelessness and despair as rates of opioid addiction and suicide rates. from farmers we are losing the american dream. i believe in the american dream and i believe it's worth fighting for. i'm going to end with this, what you all already do, what reverend al lives every day. some folks get it twisted. we all love our country, don't let anybody use patriotism. we all love our country, but the question is, as they say in church, faith that works. -- faith without works is dead. you all know what i'm talking about. well the civic faith we have and the ideals we swear and knows to our being tested right no

she is doing a vote tally and making sure her position is as strong as we see it to be. we asked nationally democratic voters, democrats and the democrat leaning independents, should the leader be nancy pelosi or someone else? and democrats are split evenly. >> wow! >> that will be a talking point for some of the people trying to wrestle up opposition. >>> all right, this next story is one of might have favorites of the day. michelle obama, george w. bush, best? ies? who knew, let's listen to what she told jenna. >> i got a text from my dad saying send michelle my love. it's so interesting how people are so interested in you all's friendship. that huck was like the hug that went around the world. why do you think people are so hungry for that, though? >> i think the political discourse the way it's schenn in the media, it's all the nasty parts of it. we're all americans. we all care about our family and our kid. we're trying to get ahead. we have different ideas about what itself the best way to get there. in america's heart, that's where we want to be. i think that our relationship remain

it's as simple as that. 70 years of a nation, 225 years for a birthright. and you have to think about that because it's totally opposite today. we now live under a federal government that does everything for us but breathe. in 1860 the federal government directed your life one way. it delivered the mail to your local post office and that is the only time you heard of washington. you paid taxes to state and local authorities and you tried your cases in state and local courts. rarely did you go beyond that. 10% of americans in 1860 had never been out of their county, much less out of their state. it was all localism. there was no flag of which anyone was aware. we had had no national anthem, no national motto. all of that comes later. thanks to the civil war. but state was important at that time and it still is to most of us. we virginians talk so much about our history. we bore people. we got more history than anybody else. so there's a lot we have to talk about. the hate mongers forget another more important facet of his life. although he is remembered as o

it was a colleague from the national security agency's advanced network operations group. the people who do the offensive cyber efforts at nsa. he said, grant, i need you to get to a secure phone and give me a call as soon as you can. i'm thinking, well, i'm on a boat. that's not convenient right now for me. he said, don't worry, i will be here whenever you get to the phone. which was an -- my second indication it wasn't going to be a good day. i go into the office. i call him. the day before on that friday, nsa had identified a malicious worm, which later became known as agent dot btz that seemed to be able to cross domains, jump air gapped networks visa usb drives. via thumb drive and a usb drive had been picked up by a soldier, put into a computer, put into a classified secret level computer and was trying to move data back and forth. the good news is that nsa that night, after they discovered it, they created a tool they could use to find this virus if it was on a network or a system. they wanted to install it on j-wix. if they installed it in the building it would cove

so this organization plays a pivotal role right now, a national role in making sure that we respond to the assaults coming from the white house. and we know in a short period of time, less than two years, we may think this has been going on for six years, but in less than two years, the white house has attempted to erode the advancement that we have seen throughout decades. you seen it with the muslim ban. then he went to try to dismantle obamacare. and yes, i say obamacare, not the affordable care act, because they are both the same, right? sometimes you ask somebody in the street, which is better, the affordable care act or obamacare? they say i like obamacare. hey are both the same. 20, 30, 40 years from now, we will look back and say there were major health care provision programs implemented nationally. medicaid, medicare and obamacare. i think that is the potential of that program. he tried to dismantle that. he went after immigrants. dreamers. daca recipients. he separated moms at the border from their six-month-old babies. he tried to take away temporary protective status from

white southerners forging a new nation, wanted a flag of the once united nation of which they had such a part in forming, to be part of their own economic or fee. a lot of people arguing against it it makes no sense, but they did not win the day, so the first years of the war the flag of the confederacy deliberately resembled that of the nation from which it was breaking apart. were breaking away. but, it became a problem, the battle flag and the national flag, the stars and bars, serving throughout the war, for all units and from the beginning for a couple of units, there was confusion on the battlefield defying the purpose of the battle flag it did not look distinctive enough, so it resulted, failing risk -- entirely as a battle flag to be distinctive for guiding troops, hence, the generals and commanders throughout the armies of the confederacy looks for distinctive flags some of which i showed you earlier, but the one we are talking about is this one. the square army of northern virginia pattern battle flag. one of the prototypes from the museum's collection, that was circulated an

that this is not a nationally focused race. this is a nationally zoned in, everybody's look at this thing. from optics alone, steph. and focus on your gubernatorial run. >> christine do optics matter? we spent the last two years talking about some reprehensible behavior. at the end of the day, he tucks himself into bed at the white house and no one else does. >> i think optics seem, if you look at the past two years, not to matter, right? it's frustrating but this race and a lot of this year's races are telling us optics are coming back and do matter again. this is a dead heat race for the governor of georgia, right. that doesn't happen, right. the democrat's usually like, which democrat can we get to put their name on the ballot, poor thing, right? that's not happening. part of the reason why is because he wouldn't step away from his secretary of state duties which makes everybody, even if he's done nothing, look terrible. i think the other reason is if you look at the two candidates and look at the -- right, the world is not

after being criticized by the first lady lollie of trumper disagreement with mira ricardo all a deputy national security advisor during a tour of africa tobar ricard will move into a new role within the administration those are the headlines more news in half an hour inside story is next. what's the future for libya seven years after the fall of dictator moammar gadhafi armed groups control much of this oil rich country international talks in italy aimed at uniting libya so what hope finally the peace this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program dennis for more than forty years libya was ruled with an iron fist by a dictator moammar gadhafi until his reign came to a bloody end that was in twenty eleven but since then the country's been torn by civil war two rival governments dividing the country into east and west and both backed by different countries and international conference in israeli hoped to find a way to end the violence and to provide libya with some form of stability the only breakthrough a commitment to a u.n. plan for elections to be held next year we'll get to our guest

it is important to note, though, that we are still a nation at war. just this past week, with heavy heart, we brought home a warrior from afghanistan, major brent taylor, who has served his country well. we mourn to this day for him and his family over that most recent lost. we still have veterans serving today. we have lost many in the wars in iraq and afghanistan. we have over 25 million living veterans, 18 million of which served in wartime. we have a lot to thank of our veterans. they secure our values. they keep our great nation safe. and i think the american people owe them a great deal. with that, as you speak about wwi, 100 years, what it means for today. the army is in transition as well. we are coming off 18 years of conflict. we are looking at what intelligence tells us will be a great period of competition. the army is taking a number of iniatiatives and reforms to make sure we're prepared to deal with the threats we might face in the years ahead. susan: turning to missy ryan. missy: secretary esper, thank you for being here. it is a pleasu

at the dedication of the indiana monument, governor thomas marshall said that slavery was a national sin, but then he goes on and exaggerates or at least gives us a revised version of history and said now is the end, who stood for equality of the law and the quality of all men for the law for the striking of shackles from all for the sleighs whether not he was white or black. it is an exaggeration considering some the loss that was passed at this time. but just as the lost calls increasingly denied slavery, union veterans would increasingly talk about what they had achieved in ending slavery. union veterans claim they have fought on the side of morality and removed the stain of slaveholding from the nation's shores. so with that being the case, and they are increasingly talk about reconciliation and talk about emancipation, especially here at antietam, and keep in mind again that the dedication of these monuments are coming 20-40 years later than many of the monuments at gettysburg, how is it that the union veterans could celebrate reconciliation and emancipation. did that two conflic

>> you know, that's the problem, ed, is in a national election, in the a federal election, we should nal voting standards. if state and local elections want to follow different rules more power to them. but we need uniform rules whether it's in florida, new york or texas, wherever you are, the rules should be the same and you're going to stop the shenanigans of the local elected officials not following rules and disregarding protocols. i think there should be a call for that. got to fix the system. >> when you mentioned shenanigans at the local level, the name brenda snipes comes to mind. talk a little bit about the provisional ballots that are being mixed in, some of which believed to be valid but some discounted, considered illegal votes and now she's suggesting she's going to mix them in and count them somehow that's an outrage. provisional ballots are ones with a problem, they're flagged. they're either signed incorrectly. there's not enough information. the provisional ballots of 2018 are the chads of 2000. commingling of good ballots with bad ballots and then deciding we're goin
