for reforming america and bringing america to respect its own constitution all blending is really was that's what makes me optimistic about the future. this corner of the exhibition is really interesting because you've goals real evidence of this link between islam and slavery in mississippi and it put him of the man who was known as the prince among slaves who was sold into slavery for 40 years before winning his freedom and going to live as a free man in liberia and i understand that there are his descendants still living in the united states and i'm going to try and find them. i now see that what's up the heart of the story of islam in america is the story of slavery and on this issue america was divided as early as the 17th seventy's some americans were calling for the abolition of slavery one of these thomas jefferson proposed forming a colony in africa to take freed slaves but it wasn't until 863 after the civil war that slavery was finally abolished with it came the economic collapse of the southern states which depended on slaves the big plantations fell to ruin and $2000000.0

the world needs america, but not just any america, not an america that has reduced itself to just one more player scrapping its way through an amoral scrum for narrow advantage. it has to be america at our best. america that possessed a forward-looking vision like confront not using, rebuild europe and invent the internet inside a research arm of the defense department. it has to be an america that knows how to make better the everyday life of its citizens and people around the world knowing how much one has to do with the other. to do so is to keep our nation safe, to master change rather than be made small and fearful. it is to see vindicated the values that make our nation what it is and it is to deserve to be described in terms like greatness. none of us will live to see the end of history. in our lifetime, the choices of the generation now living may well fashion more than our share of history. much will depend on our fidelity to our own values and we will not have to wait until 2054 to fuel the judgment of history on this season, this set of moments on which the trajectory of th

and that is how we will bring back america and revive the heart of america. what my campaign is about. it is a grassroots effort. [applause] >> thanks for not changing the rules for who gets to be on this stage. we are here for a unified reason.

my central purpose is to argue the world today needs america than ever before but only if america can be at her best. as a product. scholars were debating whether the end of the cold war amounted to the end of history. the united states appeared to be the leader of global order and in the new century was expected by many to be peaceful and democratic. by the time i finished my studies in 2007, america was fewer with respect even among the allies had plummeted. i was a sophomore when the towers fell and more came to my generation. i stayed up people were becoming the engine of the social media revolution. a few years later i would find myself feeling like i was answering. by the weekend of may 10, i was in afghanistan. the course of my life and i've seen the home. from sendoff ceremonies for those about to be deployed overseas, the meetings of american auto workers make the german brand cars from in our nd st. joseph's county i've seen the local impact of global engagement. for the better part of my lifetime it's been difficult to identify the foreign policy in the democratic party. wh

that's called keep america great, right? keep america great. keep america great.a great again. we rebuilt our military, still in the process. we have taken care of our vets. we cut the hell out of regulations. i cut more regulations than any president in the history of our country regardless of the length of their term. so now i say, we have a lot of brilliant talent, campaign people. they cost a fortune and they never give me any idea -- i'm only kidding. now i say what do we use as our theme, our statement. i am going to go make america great again or keep america great. let me hear from your cheers what you like. make america great, the greatest of all time, how do you give up the greatest of all time? you know what's going to happen in if i do it with a new theme, i give it the greatest of all time and i lose people will say what a mistake that was. but we are not going to lose so it's not going to matter. we are not going to lose, right? we are not going to lose. [cheers and applause] are you ready? first we do make america great again, then we do keep americ

what is america? america is the constitution and our rights contained therein. the oath ofpport office because we're walking away from checks and balances and freedom of the press. what is america? america is a nation of immigrants and we will denigrate them as opposed to what ronald reagan says about immigrants and the constant vitality they bring to america. what is america? the beautiful len that god has given us from sea to shining sea and beyond. -- land that god has given us from sea to shining sea and beyond. this and it may sh -- this administration is putting forth a scam to diminish the air that our children brief. what is america but our values? -- our budget should be a statement of our national values, what is important to our as to what we think is important and what we invest in the future for our children. that is what we should be talking about. appeal?g them will joe biden seems to have tremendous support in the african-american community, but it is for them to decide, not for me to

muslim voices in america whether they are intellectuals like razor. and others but 3 day we are in minority we are underrepresented in the political arena and in the media i mean i am the only one that gets invited invited to c.n.n. and i'm b.c.m. to others to explain why this rhetoric is so dangerous and it was it was used before remember europe in the thirty's when you go through the holocaust museum it's clear if thouse you and it's written in the wall the holocaust did not start with the killing it started with words with violent words it started with politicians dividing people with them versus us it started with them and ising an entire group of people and criminalizing them and then that pave the way for the killing and for the gas gas chambers remember president bush after 911 pushed this narrative of them versus us either you are with us or them that means if you challenge his views or his policies and decision then you are a terrorist and your label as a terrorist and many liberals jumped on that vaga. just want to remind you that president

the moment america becomes a socialist country is the moment america, ceases to be america.s the president said in his feet of union address, so we must say with one voice, america will never be a socialist country. [cheering and applause] the choice in this election will not just be the choice between two candidates, it will be a choice between two futures. a future of more freedom or a future of more government. on election night 20, then president-elect donald trump promised to be a president for all americans. i know that he meant it from the bottom of his heart. tonight, we appeal to all americans. if you are doing better than you were three years ago, if your values are being better defended , if you are proud to have a president who fights for you and always puts america first, join us. reelect president donald trump and we will keep america great. now, the pollsters say that our task will not be easy, just they said before. you know better. we made history in 2016 and we are going to make his three reelect 2020, when we the 45th president of the united states for fou

what is america? america is our constitution, with a system of checks and balances and our freedoms, which the president did honored. america is a nation of immigrants who constantly renew america, which the president disrespects. america is a beautiful national pat traa mony from sea to shining sea and beyond which the president degrades with his denials of science. america is our values, which the president disgraces by adding trillions to the national debt for our children to pay instead of investing in our children's future, including public education. in the darkness hours of the revolution, thomas payne wrote, the times have found us and today they have found us again. we do not place ourselves into a gory of greatness of our founders but we do place ourselves in the urgency that we face in securing the democracy that they established. this isn't about politics. it isn't about partisanship. democrats versus republicans, no. it's about patriotism. it's about the sank thatty of the constitution, a

for reforming america and bringing america to respect its own constitution all blending is really was that's what makes me optimistic about the future. this corner of the exhibition is really interesting because you've goals real evidence of this link between islam and slavery in mississippi and it brought him of the man who was known as the prince among slaves who was sold into slavery for 40 years before winning his freedom and going to live as a free man in liberia and i understand that there are his descendants still living in the united states and i'm going to try and find them. i now see that what's up the heart of the story of islam in america is the story of slavery and on this issue america was divided as early as the 17th seventy's some americans were calling for the abolition of slavery one of these thomas jefferson proposed forming a colony in africa to take freed slaves but it wasn't until 863 after the civil war that slavery was finally abolished with it came the economic collapse of the southern states which depended on slaves the big plantations fell to ruin and $20000

really wont i think america wants and many america has had a problem with iran since the 1979 victory of the sun revolution when america was essentially kicked out an exposed for the crimes that it was committing in their own anyone who does a little bit of research will understand the sort of crimes that america perpetrated in iran you know we can go back to operation ajax and the removal of the democratically elected. prime minister on sunday all the way down to the aborted operation on top of us when they tried to rescue the terrorists so the spies that were held by iran in the in the den of spies which was previously known as the american embassy so there's a lot of bad blood between iran and america and i believe iran is justified given the crimes that america has committed against them and from day one when they you will happen be imposed or america was the one supporting america there is this documentary evidence of people like mr rumsfeld and others go into supplying weaponry including unfortunately from britain going to supply weaponry including chemical weapons to iraq in or

this would reduce poverty in americaing it would end $2 a bayday poverty in america for our children. it would cost less than trump's tax bill by far. and the only thing that is getting in our way is we got mitch mcconnell in washington. this isn't just about moving out donald trump. this is about moving out a group of people including mitch mcconnell and the freedom caucus who acted as tyrants for the last decade in our country. they have immobilized our country. the reason we don't have universal health care is because of them. the reason we've done nothing on climate is because of them. the reason we've done nothing on poverty is because of them. war on guns, because of them. strump a eff -- or on guns is because of them. trump is a symptom of the problem, he's not the cause of it. on the back end of it, i hope as your president to figure out how to govern this country for people who need our help. thank you all for being here today. i look forward to questions. >> all right. please have a seat. do you want to get started? >> thank you for coming, thank you for being here. mr. ben

he's made it very clear that america comes first. but america first does not mean america alone. he is rebuilding all of our allied relationships. he's getting our nato allies to pay their fair share for their own defense. the first time since world war ii. [cheers and applause] he repealed the most damaging part of the obamacare and that's individual mandate. he repealed that. [applause] guys, i'm proud of this. in 1991 congress had a law on the books that required a president to do this, but it took four or five presidents, it took president trump to get elected, he came in and realized there was a law and guess what he did, he moved the united states embassy from israel -- in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. [cheers and applause] he said he would drain the swamp. remember that? that he would drain the swamp. guess what. as i stand here today, 4,300 people have been removed from the v.a. for not doing their jobs, guys. [cheers and applause] 4,300 people. and we're not done there. we have another bill that would allow all the other agencies to do the same thing. imagine that.

if i want to find america the beautiful. where will i find that kind of things should i look for the concept of citizenry how citizenry it is that race. in the constitution the united states based upon the equality of man and i feel very strongly that the founding fathers indeed and. a world that would welcome muslims and others from across the waters not to not only christians. seems to be an incredible transformation only 30 years ago chicago was the most racially divided city in america it had a white supremacist movement and a black separatist movement it saw some of the worst racial violence in the entire country i'm amazed what i'm hearing from people like ata misson wallerstein and it seems chicago is becoming much more at ease with its own diverse population its a rich city where life is improving on many fronts better public education karma race relations and overall the crime statistics show a big improvement. but there is still a dark side to the city because even though the city has cracked down and arrested gang

that is what america is about. shared dreams, the simple idea that no matter who you come -- the simple idea that no matter where you come from, no matter who you know, no matter where you worship, no matter where you love, that you can succeed in the country. we have a man in the white house that divides us every day. he goes after immigrants after people of color. he decides he's going to send us to war by tweet. and we need to come together and win. and every great thing that my colleagues have said up here, we need to get done. we need to go after climate change, right? we need to do something about prescription drugs and bring those costs down. we need to go after college costs and bring them down. but none of this is going to happen unless you vote. so i'm going to end with this, there is nothing more important than voting, not only for president, but for all of your tickets. the great joe cunningham if you're over there in charleston , for representative clyburn for all your candidates for state house, for s

america. we know one everyone's story is included in our national story, it is only then, we can right the wrongs and set this country in the right path. and theg the lead inspiration of jim clyburn, we have been going through every part of the state to listen to everyone. listen toumter to those veterans who put their lives in this line. to make sure when they return, we spare no expense. we end the wars we are in and bring those servicemembers back home. going to buford. pain -- paying respects at the gravesite of robert smalls to make sure he is in the national story and make sure we know how the people of the low country will meet the challenge of climate change before it is too late. going to denmark, south carolina and listening to people who just want to be able to drink the water. they want a federal government who will invest in their communities. going to south carolina state university and listening to people talk about justice where every story is included so there is justice for e

muck america. you know what bothered me more question mark the little children in yemen that are nine months old, three years old and older, they look like they are one month old and they are starved to death with flies crawling all over them while the mother's hold them and she is starting, too. having a reporter murdered and chopped into little pieces and put in bags and sent out, it bothers me more than a ship i can be repaired. guestse will let our respond to those things. guest: he does not have a question but i hope you will open of his heart and wallet and health of four people he was talking about in other nations with his own money. wisconsin, gom ahead, you are on. caller: mr. brooks, what you said earlier about these allies should, they should respond to these tankers being hit, you are absolutely right. now i'm a democrat and i think you are right and is very seldom that i think someone is right that the democrat, but you are right on the money, you are absolutely right, they should go

will become a subscription service like netflix you will subscribe to america and they have to offer you a value proposition to keep your subscription alive and they should we should be able to figure this out i think i would happily pay a monthly subscription fee if i got access to america the enterprise and they could pay the occasional didn't like andrew young a suggesting if $1000.00 a month that's a dividend from my subscription to america that's fine there's no coercion involved as a course of taxes involve that we happily pay my monthly america subscription for the value that it offers me well you should be able to have a subscription to which every nation on earth you want in whichever one has the best policies because i'm going to skip ahead to the other story i had here about the united states and what part of the reason why i think it's china has ina reliant is that what inevitably happens in this sort of system where you have lobbyist and political power which is better and better and caught you know more and more concentrated and you're able to dole out. you know not onl

my central purpose is to argue that the world today needs america more than ever, but only if americacan be at her best. as mayor from the industrial midwest, as a product out the , my owneration worldview is shaped predictably by my life experience. when i arrived in college in the fall of 2000, scholars were debating whether the end of the cold war amounted to the end of history. the united states appear to be the unchallenged leader of the global order, and the new century was expected by many to be peaceful and democratic. by the time i finished my studies in 2007, america was mired in two wars. it's respect had plummeted, and no one could be certain the global future would be any better than the past. i was a sophomore when the towers fell and more came to my generation. i stayed up late, debating things like the march toward the iraq conflict in the student committee room at harvard. unaware that in a dorm across the street, a few students were in the early stages of coding the website that would become the engine of the social media revolution. at a time when the world was grow

can trust america's word. [cheers and applause] mr. buttigieg: in latin america, universal values that we support are at stake. casual references to throwing u.s. troops in situations like the crisis in venezuela will not help. but engagement will. that means adding, not subtracting the usaid efforts in central america. [applause] better address the crime and poverty that contributes to mass migration and that means working closely with mexico, one of our largest trading partners, knowing a much we have to gain when mexico is more prosperous and stable. [applause] and yes, it means isolating dictatorship and encouraging democracy, working in concert with our latin american neighbors. on the african continent, the winds of change are sweeping aside old regimes in certain toots -- and certitudes. led aan, women have revolt against the criminal and in ethiopia we've seen what it looks like when trying -- hope triumphs over hostility. 60% of people in africa are under the age of 25. -- which have lifted millions o

there iscan believe massive voter fraud being covered up in america. i do not believe that. there has not been any real example of that. it does not mean things like that do not happen on a small scale basis, particularly in localized elections, but, you know, this is a subject that i have written stories about since the 1980's. there really is no evidence that there is large-scale voter fraud on a national level in america. host: so when we have lawmakers who say well, we need to make sure our voting system is secure , and people who are voting are eligible to vote, if we do not have that proof that there is actually voter fraud, then what are those movements about? guest: well, again, let's -- you do not have to have proof of voter fraud to feel that you have to defend against voter fraud. honestly, you go to a voting line, and you are standing there, how many take up their wallets and take out, say, a photo i.d.? it is common. perhaps that is just a commonsense thing that would make the population feel better about it, because to a certain thent, it is not about fraud, pe

that is really i think kind of what we're seeing in america today. people feel that when the other side wins, it's a catastrophe. of course, you asked about the economy. that reflects on that specifically as well. the second part of your question was about suppression and how that affects our children. first of all, i'll answer that literally. school age voters 18-20 or college age voters are among those who are most affected by so-called voter suppression effort. that's because again they often don't have the voter id necessary to vote at elections. they sometimes aren't eligible to vote where they go to school. they have to go home. so to a certain extent that is aimed at them because their vote tends to be different than many of the areas where they're attending school. in general, of course, it also just makes voting seamleem less an everyday part of people's lives. for youngsters growing up, if they don't see their parents go to vote, if their parents aren't able to take them into the voting booth, that doesn't put in them a belief that in ameri

just a few old days it's party time the copa america kicks off in brazil and all of south america is caught up in excitement. because in its best players including many well stars will be gathered together in a place where unforgettable triumphs and defeats have taken place including when you went to the food like oh you know luther king watch thanks to all. our reporters of boston zam traveled across all of brazil and also. come. out a reporter juliet goes out of state on was in europe. with staff who make the most fruitful for example kick off a road in south america. resume that epicenter of beautiful cocoa the passion. great technical skills. i. am typing. yes but that was yesterday the since 2007. when you think ok the concept 2030 and yes one olympic gold and 26 t. what was the last time that you actually watched a football game at the olympics. so what was i going to say. no american title since 200-720-0620 extension 10 out of the world cup quarter finals in 2014 messed up in home world cup. but i won't crack any 71 jokes i promise. maybe and 20 aging world out in the quarter

and that is how we will bring back america and revive the heart of america. that is what my campaign is about. it is a grassroots effort. [applause] >> thanks for not changing the rules for who gets to be on this stage. we are here for a unified reason. nation, for of our the sake of our nations standing in the world and for the sake of the america that we pass on to our kids and grandkids, we are here to make sure that donald trump is a one term president. it's more than just beating him, though. it is rejecting the behavior he is normalizing. misstatements, dividing us by race, gender, biogeography. twitter tirades and temper tantrums. we now expect more out of our preschoolers that we do the president of the united states. this election is about rejecting crony capitalism. a trillion dollars of stock buy backs didn't go to you and me. thanks to the tax cuts, the crew cleaning up will pay more in taxes last year than companies like amazon and chevron. our effort is about making every american know that our economy and our democracy will work for them that n

all across america.laughter] [applause] [laughter] [applause] the greatest honor is my life is to serve vice president to a president who gets up every day to keep the masses he made to the american people. he stands without apology for faith and freedom everyday. i have seen it when the cameras are off. he is a man of action. president donald trump is a man of his word. he has kept his word in the community of faith all across america. [applause] i thinks. pence: there's only one way you can describe the last two years. it has been two years of action. two and a half years of results. two-and-a-half years of promises made and promises kept. we are just getting started. [applause] president pence: trump promised to revive the american economy. bypassing largest tax cuts and tax reform in american history and that is exactly what we have done. the results are remarkable. [applause] don't need me to tell you but i will tell you anyway. [laughter] vice pres. pence: 5.8 million new jobs since election day 20

, make case for our america, an america right, ealth care is a not a privilege, america, where eachershers are paid their value, and, america, where women have the right to about their own bodies, an america where somebody has to work only one to put food on the table and a roof over their head, an merica where our children do not have to go to school every day and be concerned about some shooter roaming the schools, and heir america -- an america where we have a president of the united a sign of knows it is be strebtsdz not to -- strength not to beat people down but to lift people up. so i'd like to tell you a little my background. so i was raised as a child, as a rights of the civil movement. my parents met when they were active in that movement. i joked that we raised by adults who spent shouting. my mother is five feet tall. came home complaining about something, the first thing she would do, put a hip, look at you and say, so what are you going to do about it? to run for president of the united states. can tell er thing i you about my background is i spent a career as a prosecutor

because i believe in an america, in our america, where you only have to work one job to have a roof over your head and put food on the table. i believe in an america where teachers are paid their value. i believe in america where no politician tells a woman what to do with her body. i believe in an america where health care is a right and not a privilege for just those who can afford it. i believe in an america where children do not have to fear going to school for fear of a mass shooter. i believe in an america where we have a president who understands the greatest strength and the greatest power any one individual can have is not to beat people down, but to lift them up. so i'm here to ask you for your support. thank you, south carolina. ♪ ♪

keep america great. [cheers and applause] keep america great.r words, make america great again well we have really done it. we have rebuilt our military, it's still in the process. we have taken care of our vets. we have cut the hell out of regulations. i have cut more regulations than any president in the history of our country, regardless of the length of their term. [cheers and applause] so now i say we need -- we have a lot talent, campaign people they cost a fortune and they never give me any ideas. i'm kidding. i said what do we use as our theme, our statement, i'm going to ask you to vote on it. i'm going to go make america great again and keep america great. let me hear by your cheers what you like. so, in all fairness, make america great, the greatest of all time. i really believe that the greatest of all time. how do you give up the greatest of all time with a new statement? do you know what's going to happen? if i do it with a new theme. if i lose, people are going to say what mass stake that was. [laughter] but we're not going to los

the democrats say no, keep america weak. the president says i'm proud to be an american, the left says i'm ashamed to be an american. the number of lies being told right now about the united states are astonishing but all trump is doing is he's drawing to the surface the deep hatred which on-campus is certainly began by the middle of the 1960s and has grown and grown like a cancer. you're now seeing with leading national democrats and they have a real problem. if you are a democrat today and go to a normal democratic meeting and start talking about how wonderful america is, how great the founding fathers were, how remarkable the constitution is, he would be booed off the stage. the democrats are a party which is genuinely anti-american, that's pretty remarkable. >> laura: we've moved from when i was in college in the 1980s, it was ronnie raygun. a mushroom cloud over the soviet union, it was ridiculing him, we all forget him now in the glow of reagan biographers but they were trashing him. they were saying america at her cor

an america that invests in little kids and an america that cancels student loan debt and an america that invests in manufacturing here in this country. >> and we need the same jobs that men make. >> i don't see anyone in congress or any of these high positions giving up any money. >> so -- >> i just don't see it happening. >> here's the deal. in a democracy, we are talking about you are asking for two cents from 1/10 of 1% of the people. the rest of us have a say in that. we set the tax laws f. we are willing to get out there and fight for it, the politicians, more are going to fall into line. remember on health care. i was in the senate when we didn't have the votes to stop the republicans from repealing health care for tens of millions of americans. what happened? people from all over the country made their voices heard. they came to washington. people in wheelchairs came to washington. moms pushing the little lobbyists. little baby who is had serious medical problems. they got right in the faces of those senators and at the end of the day, at end of the day, it was the people across t

this would reduce poverty in americaing it would end $2 a bayday poverty in america for our children. it would cost less than trump's tax bill by far. and the only thing that is getting in our way is we got mitch mcconnell in washington. this isn't just about moving out donald trump. this is about moving out a group of people including mitch mcconnell and the freedom caucus who acted as tyrants for the last decade in our country. they have immobilized our country. the reason we don't have universal health care is because of them. the reason we've done nothing on climate is because of them. the reason we've done nothing on poverty is because of them. war on guns, because of them. strump a eff -- or on guns is because of them. trump is a symptom of the problem, he's not the cause of it. on the back end of it, i hope as your president to figure out how to govern this country for people who need our help. thank you all for being here today. i look forward to questions. >> all right. please have a seat. do you want to get started? >> thank you for coming, thank you for being here. mr. ben

he stated, it was almost like black america. you have the lightest of people as well as the darkest in this letter home. he talked about almost all of these saudi arabians would be jim crowed at home. when he was seeking to do was peopleis connection of of the middle east with african-americans, just as he was trying to make a similar connection of african people to african-americans, specifically making the case that african people were concerned and were looking into and were studying what was happening to african-americans in the united states. he argued, of course, in his letter home from the sudan, when he visited there in 1959, that he wanted african-americans to realize that africans cared about them. he talked about how he was trying to fight against this u.s. propaganda that of course was saying, don't worry about those africans, because they don't care about you. meaning this is what it was saying to african-americans and they were saying the same thing in africa. those african-americans don't care about you either. al
