than there is in urban america. i think urban america has not received the attention it should receive. i mean the 50 million people that live in rural america. what i would do is that i would apply these programs of using government tax credits and government financing to bring private enterprise and bring new business into rural america that would raise the quality of life there. in other words, we have tried the big government ways and doubtless try the private enterprise way to help the people in america.[ applause ] >> i understand you have a very successful private enterprise and i am glad to come to you next for >> what change would you make in the federal taxation loss which will bring revenue from the religious organizations and labor organization under the same tax structure? i don't really know that churches and buildings where services are held where members meet for their meeting. >> i think what you may be referring to is the question of cooperatives, organizations and cooperatives and others that are

bringing real prosperity to rural america.e've had some great help along the way, including georgia zone secretary of agriculture, sonny perdue. and finally, right before christmas, this president kept one of the biggest promises we made when he signed the largest tax cuts and tax reform in american history. we cut taxes for working families. we cut taxes for businesses. and we cut out the core of obamacare. the individual mandate is gone. promises made and promises kept. since the advent of this administration, literally almost from the moment after the election was called, you could feel it. confidence is back. jobs are coming back. in a word, america is back. and we are just getting started. that is why we need brian kemp in the state house.

america has business culture and america has cooperation. america was founded by cooperations like the massachusetts bay company and the virginia company, america was the first company country to let companies free in the past used to be the case that all set up company, go to government and say i want to set up a company for this specific purpose and america was the first country in 1830's to allow people to set up company for any general purpose and finally america allows companies to become big very, very fast, to grow and become competitive size companies and they have given america competitive advantage in the world of creative destruction, so that's the optimistic story in the book, rather more pessimistic story as we say toward the end of the book that this advance is begin to go fade and so the great question with end with is if you have meeting now would you be predicting that america will retain its position as world most powerful economy or is it going to hand over to less democratic country such as china. >> alan, you want to add

america is latin america and he sang it in portuguese. of course, naturally.ut the memories and these histories are extremely important and so much of what is going on today is a reflection of what went on. i talked to a woman i was going to read this but i don't think we have time. a woman whose father was taken off for this prisoner exchange. she was in her 70s. a phd language teacher. she said i used to go around saying where's daddy and my whole life, the separation every day to meet my father it was very moving. and naturally when i read over it and the people that are being separated at the border from their children and all of the distress that must be there. they stood up to president roosevelt that he wasn't relinquished. his successor did something very interesting. he wouldn't send i can't believe i wrote a whole -- [laughter] that was roosevelt at the time when the japanese were being taken to the concentration camps in the united states. neither would he allow the u.s. bases in mexico. you have to remember the united states talks giant chunks of t

they attack the notion that in america we value diversity, that in america we are actually tolerant, that in america we can have different political views, but those views don't resort to violence. and in moments like these, i think we all have to look upon ourselves, and particularly if we are in this intersection between law and security or in the role that i play as a member of the senate, these are moments when it's important that all of us, no matter where we fall in our organizations realize it is a time for the country to come together. and i have to say, and this is not a political statement and i know we're days away from hotly contested midterms. but i have never seen anything like the response or lack of response in terms of basic empathy or notions of what bind us together be more lacking than what's come out of this white house. now, i have had differences with this administration on a host of issues, and again i'm not going to go through the litany of those differences. but there are two areas that i think directly -- that i fear the most and that i think are most relev

america alsos has corporation america was pounded by corporations like the massachusetts -- bay company and virginia company, and america was first company country to let companies free. in the past it used to be case in order toe set up a company you let it go to government so say i want to settle company for this specific purpose. and america was first country in the aging 30s to allow people to set up companies for any general purpose they wanted to do and finally america allows company to become big very, very fast to grow and become confident sized companies and i think all of these reasons have given america an incredible competitive advantage in the world of creative destruction so that's the optimistic story in the book and more pessimistic story as we say to end of the book that this destruction is beginning to fade so great question we end with is if you have another meeting now would you be predicting that america will retain this position as world most powerful economy, or is it going to hand over to another less democratic country such as china. >> allen you want to add any

we will restore hope for america. i believe that our policies and the ideas we are bringing to the table of what's good for the country is good for the american people and i think it's going to be good not only for our economy but for our future and i'm excited about the opportunity to be a part of this and we will get the majority back. mr. mccarthy: we understand we have a divided government and we have a divided nation. our goal is to unite us. this is the opportunity to help continue america to move forward. we are proud in the fact that the last 49 years our unemployment is its lowest and proud of the fact of the changes to the v.a. or rebuilding our military and giving our women and men the largest raise they ever had in nine years and combatting opioid addiction and human trafficking. we will work with anybody across the aisle if they are there to move america forward. let me be very clear, if their agenda is investigations, impeachment and not focused on the hardworking american public, we will be there to def

the middle class is the backbone of america. the more we can do about people having involvement in the determination of their fate. candidates knew why they were running and what they cared about to speak to it authoritatively. they know how to communicate why their constituents my has always been children who live in poverty. i think it is a symptom of something else in our society, about everybody not participating in the full prosperity of america. when i say that, i say it to say that there are many ways to solve problems and some of it is direct, some not. but i do think the american people have good hearts. i respect them. those who vote with us, those who do not vote with us. our constitution central to it was checks and balances. further to it was the bill of rights. i do believe that the freedom of the press is the guardian of the gate of our democracy. while we do not always like the press we get, that is not the point. the point is that it is important that you are there to speak truth, to hold us accountable. i don't

myth #5 -- america was barely bloodied in wwi. along with "wwi did not really change american society at all" comes this one. another reason why we don't really need to study it. of course, since i am calling it a myth, i am here to tell you something quite different. where does this myth come from? it comes from these kinds of numbers. from taking the united states and comparing its death toll to those of other belligerent nations. if you look at a chart like this and you see the deaths in the american army. i can tell you even fewer die on the battlefield. because about half of those deaths actually happen from spanish influenza. if we take that number and stack it up against what happens in britain and france and russia, it does look barely bloodied. it looks like we did not suffer at all in part because the casualties were so tremendous on the other sides. but numbers are so funny. what does a number actually mean? it is so relative. it matters how you contextualize it. if you contextualize it this way, you can say america is

latin america has been of interest james munro decided that america was for the americans over 200 years ago if not before. it now seems to be mostly of interest to the politicians fleeing the u.s. but throughout our history the americans have been intertwined. resources, people, new ideas, culture and consequences have slowed up and down the hemisphere. much of that is unknown in the u.s.. and this is the perfect person to recount the history. she's done it now with respect to the second world war. she's the real deal. a journalist who spent years in the region walking its path, listening to its ministers and also its presence, witnessing its important moments. she was there when they were murdered in el salvador and i sat next to her as we watched the former dictator stand trial for genocide. she knows the region, the players, the issues but also a humanities and generosity of people willing to tell their stories, the absurdity of political theater, the compelling narratives of suffering a loss but also solidarity and hope. she has an important story to tell and i'm glad you are all he
