on the american founding. but i think we would be hard pressed to find more than a handful of books that focus on the bible's influence on the american founding. again, i think that reflects sort of the landscape of modern scholarship. the founding generation in the last third or so of the 18th century drew on and synthesized diverse, intellectual traditions informing their political thought. among these diverse traditions were british constitutionalism and i've depicted here magna carta, the great english jurist, sir william blackstone. they also drew on enlightenment ideas in a variety of forms and expressions. and just as referenced in the examples here, i have locke and montesquieu. they also drew on republican traditions both ancient and modern, and i have representing this and, again, there are many other figures that we could illustrate this with, but i have here cicero and machiavelli both from the ancients as well as for more modern thinkers. now, the thesis that i advance in my book is this. both the

americans on all the path to financial security. it will enable students to get an education without amassing a lifetime of debt. it will empower american workers to succeed in this new and modern economy. i am ready to get down to work. i look forward to being here on campus to do that. we are ready to get down to business. with that, let me turn to the vice chair of the democratic caucus, ms. linda sanchez. sanchez: thank you, and good afternoon. clearly we are a little disappointed we were not able to hold the issues conference as planned, but we are moving forward with the agenda as best we can. when life hands you lemons, you have to make lemonade. we are here because the republicans quite frankly show they cannot lead this country. lurchd, we continue to from short-term funding patch to short-term funding patch. this is not a way to run a government. it is not a way to run anything, quite frankly. democrats are presenting the american people with a clear contrast to the ineptitude republicans have shown. we are united for our

anne spencer was an american poet associated with the harlem renaissance. how she became involved with the harlem renaissance is how harlem comes to lynchburg. there is a group of people who are associated with that period of time that people do not know about. on sunday at 2:00 eastern on american history tv, an interview with liberty university president jerry falwell jr. about the origins of the university, its impact on lynchburg, and the role evangelicals play in politics. >> in spite of trump's background, they are pleasantly surprised with how he has come around on issues important to the evangelicals and how he has been the best president for and i think he's going to end up being one of the greatest presidents we have ever had. with the conversation brand son of -- the grandson of a man who hosted a tennis camp in lynchburg for young black athletes. my grandfather and his ability, he managed to be a student of the tennis game and transform that learning into a that would for decades provide players an opportunity for african-americans to integrate

american history. eight years of a stagnant economy and wages that wouldn't budge, american workers are seeing their paychecks rise faster today than at any point in nearly a decade. and more than 1.5 million americans have left the rolls of food stamps and now able to support and sustain themselves with dignity and self-worth. but i know in my heart that the best is yet to come. because as we speak, our economy is already started to feel the effects of that historic tax cut. about 90% of working americans are going to get a tax cut. millions are already seeing more money in their paychecks and feeling it in their wallets. and we didn't just cut taxes on your income. the obamacare individual mandate tax is gone. [ applause ] since the president's tax cuts became the law of the land, businesses large and small have announced more than $480 billion in new investments in american jobs and american workers and just the past two months more than 4.3 million americans have already gotten a raise or a bonus a

[booing] vice president pence: most amazingly of all, she keeps saying that a $1000 bonus for working americans is nothing more than crumbs.

in american military history.his is part of the flag that was carried by that regiment during the battle of rhode island on august 28 and 29th, 1778. and we know that because this wasicular note, which written in 1878, almost exactly 100 years after the battle, piece of the flag carried by the kernel's regiment -- colonel's regiment at the battle of rhode island august when he 9, 1778. it is modest, -- august 29, 1778. it is modest, humble, but it tells a story of people fighting for their freedom. perhaps we have one of the pieces of evidence about the worst side of the conflict, which is the violence that occurred. this is a cannonball, solid shot, that was found on the field, not very far from here. this is solid iron. which can cause an extraordinary amount of damage. while it's attributed to the battle of rhode island, we are not positive that it actually was part of the battle. it is really large. it comes from the kind of canon -- cannon that the americans do not have at the time, even though the americans

in order to scare the americans so he can contain american power. one of the lessons of studying khrushchev that is relevant to today or a couple of them and then i'll finish with that is that americans tend not to understand that their country is a threat to other people. americans believe -- i hate what am i doing generalizing. more often than not, american policymakers will believe that specific american actions will define how other countries view this country. when it's the fact of american power. the hugeness of the economy. the size of the american military which is a daily threat to many countries. which either will bandwagon with you or are going to try to oppose you. it's -- our very existence that poses a threat. khrushchev never lost track of the fact that the united states was more powerful and richer. he believed in the future if the competition were kept to ideology and economic interaction that the soviets would ultimately bury us. like we die and they continue to live, they will be at our funeral. if you believe that we are a threat

americans get scared. and that's exactly what the soviets hoped for except that americans then spend money on nuclear weapons when they get scared and the soviets couldn't compete. so in 1961, khrushchev believes that since -- because he's very well aware of the missile gap, crisis, he believes that this will have a restraining effect on the use of american power. and perhaps will lead to an agreement in central europe. kennedy, because he believes that he's always dealing with a rational actor, wants to change the incentive structure for khrushchev and what he does is he says once the satellites provide american -- the u.s. government with absolute certainty that the soviets are way behind in the missile competition, he decides to share that with the soviets. not directly by giving him a corona document but by having a public statement, by kilpatrick, the undersecretary of defense. the u.s. government does that thinking that if the soviets know they are behind, they will stop this risk taking. they will j

historian of the american revolution in his book on the american revolution he says this. he says, "remember that there can be no political happiness without liberty, that there can be no liberty without morality, and that there can be no morality without religion." or listen to the words of benjamin rush. he says in 1786, "the only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. without religion there can be no virtue and without virtue there can be no liberty and the liberty is object and life of all republican governments." in other words, a self-governing people, a self-governing people had to be virtuious, and controlled from within by an internal moral compass. because why? because the great american experiment is throwing off the external control of an authoritarian ruler's whip and rod. yes, authoritarian ruler can use the whip to compel people to behave in the order in which you want them. but clearly the whip and the rod is unacceptable for a free, self-governing people. what's going to replace that whip? it's that internal moral compas

we are all proud americans. the thing is if you start to talk about the dreamers in that way. >> laura: what do you mean? what way? because it's our country. that's what he is talking about. it's our country. >> he is separating us out and saying. >> laura: right. >> they have dreams, we have dreams. instead of dealing with real immigration reform and a real policy. >> laura: yeah. we will get to that. >> okay. because that's what he didn't do. >> laura: juan, actually what he has done is more than doubled his initial offer of 800,000 illegal immigrants. >> cut legal immigration. >> called compromise he is not getting everything he wants and democrats isn't getting everything he wants. >> building the wall 25 billion. >> laura: democrats have offered no serious compromise on this at all. john, the democrats have left the idea of governing and governance and they are in full resistance mode. really telling when clyburn said when he like reacted so negatively to the american dreams line. i can tell you my listener

american immigration should be in the best interest of americans. the secure america's future act ends this chain migration and stops it for everyone except for the children and spouses of immigrants. but those relatives cannot bring in additional immigrants. the secure america future act replaces those immigrants with skilled workers, workers that can help us build a better future. think about it this way. there are 150 million people around the world who would say they would come to the united states if they were just given the opportunity. what a debate country. we do now that what and enter on the basis of who they are related to or let in the best engineers or doctors, nurses, teachers and businessmen and who can speak english well and know our system of government. but that can only happen if we end chain migration. the chain migration proposal becomes even more crucial when we look at the daca issue. if we allow daca recipients to get citizenship, they will each. 3 1/2 immigrant that's a huge incentive for future immigrants to come here illeg

about 70% to 80% are employed and collectively parents to 275,000 american citizen american children. since 1989, i have been fighting for a pathway for citizenship to libyans who have escaped two civil wars and the ebola outbreak. they have been fictures -- fixtures of their communities for 30 years. but could face exportation due to the t.p.s. protection. congress can and should include these populations in this legislation. mr. president, i have taken the tough votes to strengthen our border and ensure immigrants play by the rules. i have voted for the dream act and comprehensive immigration reform that passed in this body. i know we can address this crisis if we choose too. the only true path forward is real bipartisan compromise, not posturing or legislative gamesmanship. i urge my colleagues to support compromised legislation to address the specific crisis before us, and when we have done that, to begin ernest discussions on bipartisan and comprehensive immigration

in this program all the searching for the origins of islam in america talking to african-americans who just discovering that own islamic history and exploring if being american fits comfortably with being muslim. my journey begins with a trip to minneapolis in the midwest it may seem an old destination for a program on islam because its citizens are mostly jewish and christian but in two thousand and seven voters here elected america's first muslim congressman keith ellison. keith spock on the campaign trail on a most significant anniversary today is juneteenth it commemorates june nineteenth eight hundred sixty five the abolition of slavery these are local political activists and they're coming on the parade to get people in this community fired up about voting and at the halls of their efforts a young muslims playing their part trying to get congressman keith ellison the first muslim in congress reelected. hello good spirit nice to see you keith ellison is a charismatic politician who's keen to get young muslim started in politics well you know we're just have a going out here you kn

americans do not believe undocumented immigrants take jobs away from americans. 63% to 33% reject it. it's because our eyes can see. come to central illinois near my hometown of springfield. go to the local meat processing plant or chicken processing plant and watch who comes out of that plant at quitting time. hispanics and africans, taking what are pretty tough, dirty, rough jobs because others don't want them. and take a look next time you go into a nice restaurant in chicago, a city i'm honored to represent. look who justified cleaned the dishes off the table. and when the door swings take a look at who's in the kitchen doing the dishes. by and large it's going to be immigrants who are doing those things. not many of us say to our sons and daughters, i'm hoping they will come -- when you decide to go and pick fruit for a living. hardly ever hear that because we know it's hard, backbreaking work and immigrants do the work. so many jobs that they fill are jobs that americans aren't jumping to fill. how about issue of crime? the majority of americans do not believe that undocumented

that puerto ricans are american. the media's racialization of poverty and welfare and crime works within the constraints of the psychology and the sense or historic lack of an inclusive collective identity. political rhetoric, verbal and visual, are vehicles that media, candidates and officials use in the social construction or framing of societal problems and keep with their own world views, but again i don't think that is created in a vacuum. thinking about it, what does the phrase all american conjure up. how has it been visualized? how has a president or first lady been consuptualized. this is not just in mass media, but in how individuals hear and speak about their leaders and themselves through social media and at rallies we saw in quick effects. most importantly when we asked how americans speak to each other in their own homes. the conflict between american ideals and the reality of race has been a problem for social coregion. the election of drum with racial conflict and resentment in explicit terms than we

but there is something special about the american soldier. and i think, as i end my comments here, that is one message that i wanted to impart. and everyone here who has worn the uniform of the united states military, regardless of service understands that, and every family member understands that. when i had the great privilege of leading the pentagon, i saw that up close. there was not a decision i ever made as secretary of defense, or as a united states senator, that i did not think about my experience in vietnam. some were big decisions, some were not big decisions. but i always tried to reflect on the experience that i had in vietnam. the people that i learned so much from in vietnam. people who were from all over the country, many uneducated many came from very tough backgrounds. but you learn something from everybody everyday. now, i'll end this way. an old first sergeant in vietnam once said to me when we were talking about a number of things. he was from lake charles, louisiana, sergeant rose. he said, just always remember, chuck, th

the budget deal is a win for the american people. it will also do so much good for our military and for so many middle-class americans. and finally, sign the arbitrary and pointless sequester caps to the ash heaps of history. a final point, madam president, our work here in congress on this budget deal between the republican leader and i, between the senate and the house was completed without a great deal of help from the white house. while president trump threatens shutdowns and stalemates, congressional leaders have done the hard work of finding compromise and consensus. it's been a painstaking and months-long process. it has required concession, sometimes painful, by both sides. but at the end of the day, i believe we have reached a budget deal that neither side loves but both sides can be proud of. that's compromise. that's governing. that's what we should be doing more of in this body. and it is my sincere hope that the republican leader and i will continue to work together in this way to get things done for the american people.
