there are some wonderful american memoirs and wonderful american poetry, but many american soldiers keptfront. it was illegal, but they kept them anyway and they would write down records of their experience. so anybody who has in the audience, who has any of these diaries or letters, i strongly encourage you to take very good care of them because way too many of them are being lost. >> we showed viewers some of the pictures of some of the american cemeteries in france. the estimates are some 40% of those americans who died overseas in world war i stayed in france and were buried there. 60% were brought home to burial. have you ever been to one of those cemeteries? >> yes, i have. in fact, a lot of people don't know that the largest american military cemetery in europe is not at omaha beach, but it's a place called roman which is a world war i cemetery and it's for troops who were killed in 1918 and there are about 14,000 americans buried there of all different backgrounds, denominations including african-americans. to me it's gut wrenching to go there. it's such a beautiful cemetery and

i watch american heroes and the american -- the military channel. see the war on tv, they televised it, and how is it possible -- if i am in the war and if i have a camera in my hand, i would have -- be having a gun. how is it possible for them in world war i and to with a cameraman, whoever is filming for them to survive that war and on both sides of the war. i never see them with a gun. >> thanks for the question. >> that is a really good question, there were american war correspondent serving at the front, there is a fellow named floyd gibbons from the chicago tribune was alongside the marines and was severely wounded in belleau wood. in terms of actual cameramen, they were not actually allowed at the front during filming -- during the actual course of battle. they were not particularly allowed to film attacks. some of the film that you see of attacks are actually fake, they are staged. on the other hand, u.s. army single core photographers and cameramen were right behind the front, and in some cases they would film troops just as they are leavin

up next on "american artifacts," a look back at several battles in late may and june of 1918, when americans and french forces trying to stop a german offensive toward paris. to begin this story, we visit the cemetery, the final resting place of almost 2300 americans who died in this region in 1918. this is just under an hour. >> i'm at the cemetery at the battle of belleau wood, france. this is significant for world war i, the american participation. tell me a little bit about what you do here at the cemetery. >> thanks. so, i'm the current superintendent at the cemetery in belleau wood, france. i say to visitors when they walk through the gates here, a lot of people are struck by how beautiful it is and well- maintained it is. a lot of that is true, and a lot of work goes into it but there's a lot of work behind the scenes of what took place to make this site what it is today. i would say depending on how much time we have, and there are several different histories that are interlinked together. i'm going to start backwards, present-day. these sites are maintained by the u.s. government. t

in 2018 this is how the american people are organizing. this is how the american people are doing the work of an active citizenry. this is how the american people are speaking truth to power. asking individuals to pay extra to speak out for what they believe in allowing companies to block access to certain ideas, that is and who we are as a country. it's inconsistent with the values of nondiscrimination. net neutrality is the free-speech issue of our time and the well-being of our precious democracy depends on the public having equal unfettered access to the internet. today the united states senate will show its power to heed the call of small businesses who support this congressional resolution and the millions of americans who have sent letters, posted tweets and made calls defending net neutrality. the senate will give another present to the rich and powerful. the senate will either call the example of governors state legislators and attorneys general all over the f country o are fighting to save the internet as well know it or brek his

and americans know what it is. we have to just stop talking about how money and special interests have too much influence in washington and we have to do is being it. -- and we have to do something about it. we have to put a reform agenda out there that aligns with every other agenda that we're presenting. when you go out, when a member of congress goes out and talks to people in their district and talks about the better deal for america, the economic agenda that democrats are putting forward, people want that. they respond to that. they want to see that better deal for our economy. the problem is they look at you and they say, there's no way you can make it happen because the special interests in washington will stop it. and that's why we're saying, we're also going to bring along with that economic message a reform message. to show people that we're serious about fixing this institution. so all the things that we want to see happen and that they want to see happen can actually occur here. that we can get that kin

american history 101. let's start where american history 101 should start, which is that the creation of race is a creation of a system of exploitation. right? that is what it is for. that is how it happened. it is intimately related with the creation of what we call class. it is inextricable from it in american history. we are still living in the aftermath of it. when we get out from under it, we will know. we are not there. we are still living in a post-emancipation society, really. >> one last very quick question. thank you for coming in talking to us today. my question is rooted in results and tactics in winning justice. in the context in the talk about citizenship, and the choice of accepting citizenship and working within the system to try and win, talking about frederick douglass dressing up as the best citizen to show he is a good citizen and winning rights that 1960's, --r in the working outside the system because the system is corrupt and we don't want to have anything to do with it. and history,

[laughter] and i can imagine that mr. pete bonds who is our direct her of political correctness. if you see him, speak up. spin thank you very much. i appreciate it. [applause] thank you. >> good morning mr. president distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. it is with both gratitude and humility that i join you here in the largest event of the year that texas and southwestern cattle raisers convention. let me say at the outset i love this day. i only drink cold milk and i hate fake meat as much as i hate fake news so am i in good company?

they do not understand what it means to be an american. what being an american is. they are unable to identify the foundational principles of this country. they don't know what makes america special or different to every other country in the world. they don't know that america e american technology and innovation has transform the world, that people are healthier, healthier and safer because of america. they have no idea they live in a country with whose fortunes the world travels. i am on a mission to make sure that americans everywhere, but particularly the next generation of american leaders, knows that the day they are born in the united states of america, or the day they move permanently to the united states of america, is the day that they won the lottery of life. and of course, if they were born in texas, well, they hit the jackpot. [applause] i want young americans to know that this is the best place in the world to start a business. and grow it. this is the best place in the world to dream, invent, build, tinker, and bet the farm in pursuit of a bert -- bet

, being muslim and american. what ali did and many others was basically make it very visible for the american experience to see that there is muslim presence, muslim influence. so muhammad ali, kareem abdul-jabbar, dave chappelle, mark rock, these are well known individuals that with an african-american communities they happen to be muslim that are used to multiple faith traditions within muslim -- within families of african-american experience. even in the relation of pop music and hip hop you see the influence of african-american muslim identity as well. so i framed that just to give you a context to understand that american muslims themselves and particularly african-american muslims, have been engaging in a conversation of being both american and muslim from the very beginning and this journey from that period onwards. so there essentially was this gap before i get into the report it's important to frame the conversation. dr. yang professor emerita maem howard university calls it a 60-year gap between african

it has given the american people a raw deal. democrats are offering a better deal for our democracy, to safe our democracy, we're committed to empowering the american voter to demand responsive government, protecting every citizens' right to vote and their right to have their vote counted as cast, safeguarding our election infrastructure and ending partisan redistricting. next, we are strengthening america's ethics laws to fight the special interests, ending the revolving door in washington and reining in the influence of lobbyists, big money donors and special interests who drive the republican agenda. fixing our broken campaign finance system to combat big money influence, wiping out the scourge of unaccountable, secret dark money and overturning citizens united. republicans' special interest and donor first agenda is part of their dna. but democrats have a people first agenda, to put the power back in the hand of the american people, we're fixing our broken political system and ensuring government works for everyone, not just

yet by 1942, no african-american was more loved among white and black americans as joe louis. his triumph in 1938, coupled with his patriotic announcement rendered him a potent symbol. administrators affirmed his political import as the brown bomber stood for heroism unity, and a part of the armed forces, black military participation. in september of 1943, lewis headed a boxing to along with nicholson, sugar ray robinson and george j. wilson under the army special service division to tour army camps in the u.s. and abroad. tour also to her -- serve the purpose of both in a team and athletic training. it could diminish racism by promoting black men who promote good sportsmanship and teamwork. influences 46 months of army, he fought 96 exhibition in the u.s. and in england, france and italy. this experience gave louis the opportunity to witness the racism and poor conditions within black army camps. his most public challenge to racial discrimination was his refusal to fight or speak in front of segregated audiences. indicating that the boston tour was "not for anyone raised grou

in fact, france allowed the americans to keep permanent cemeteries in france and the american will keep one for each big battle basically in france. >> it was a gruesome task for the grs teams because many of the bodies had decomposed and were difficult to either identify, because of the decomposition, or the fact that some of the bodies were so badly damaged by shell or machine gunfire, that in some cases they didn't recognize and weren't able to identify who the remains were. >> that's a sad job. that was done 1919/1920. >> it took so long. the americans suffered more than 50,000 casualties on the battlefield from the beginning of combat until the armistice. another 50,000 died of disease like the influenza. here you see them piecing together the skeletons and trying to give some sort of proper burial. >> yeah. and probably looking for a doctor or something to -- >> there were a number of civilians who worked for the army in grs detail. they were carefully wrapped and placed into wooden coffins for shipping. and then the coffins if sent back to the u.s. were transported by rail to i g

i'm actually san jose's fourth vietnamese american council member, but i'm the first american born. so there is a change in the guard, change of generations. and i think it's important for more, you know, asian americans to get out there, not just be elected, but to run for office, make the attempt and to just create this normalcy around asian american candidates. >> okay, so we have a question from our facebook community for the panel, and this one comes from praise santos. and the question is, "is the passive tendency of asians in our current climate of racial tension in the united states benefiting us in the immediate but hurting us in the long term?" vincent, we'll start with you. >> well, i actually don't accept that premise. i think that asian americans are much more active and outspoken than often is understood. you know, certainly the myth of asians as being passive across the globe is easy to debunk, and you could see that in the elections in south korea, you could see that in protests like occupy central in hong kong. and even in the united states, i do think that asian am

that i had ordered that he is playing an american game because many american diplomats in islamabad and beyond is input she was prime minister at that time and she was also supporting longer. because benazir bhutto was boarding with no more so i thought that maybe he is working for americans and i wrote some columns against him there maybe long was an american game so i was invited by malone what and he told me that i am not an american agent so if i am an american again why i have given refused to. enemy of america was. a bond of loyalty developed between malone and bin ladin. in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight bin laden's arab fighters had helped taliban forces conquer the city of lazaro sharif the last major city in afghanistan. to fall to the taliban. al qaeda had also for too long sought the taliban against its arch enemy the renowned guerrilla fighter made shah masood. bin laden's former bodyguard remembers fighting lawsuits forces advancing on kabul. for the mother to come out of the mobile one of the market sucked at the cut the deal had become an aid to public. with the

not just for black americans or latinos but for all americans across the board. so just picking that out, raising your hand and saying, wow, look at me. give me a trophy. here's what i've done. it's really disingenuous. it doesn't give that to all factors. >> thank you for joining us for the next half hour this morning on "the washington journal." if you want to talk about the state of black america, phone lines are open. as folks are calling in, explain what digital inclusion is. >> so we want to look at technology. and the new digital and technology economy that is created. so, look, most americans have one or more of these. this entire television production has been powered by various elements of technology. technology is changing our lives. we want to look at technology which is like if you will a modern version of the industrial revolution. we now have what we like to call the digital revolution. are african-americans and latinos participating fully with all of the benefits of this improving and increasing and relatively empowering new industry called techno

back of americans.they are good people. they are distant people. they work and they save and they pay their taxes and they care. by theodore roosevelt, this country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless it is a good place for all of us to live in. >> this i say to you tonight is the real voice of america. and this year, 1968, this is the message that will broadcast to americans of the world. let's never forget that america is a great nation and america is great because their people are great. with winston churchill, we say we have not journeyed all this way, across the sanctuaries come across the oceans, cross the mountains, across the ferries because we are made of sugar candy. american is in trouble today not because her people have sales but because their leaders have failed and what america needs our leaders to match the greatness of her people. >> america in turmoil, 1968, and that was a speech by richard nixon as he accepted his nomination after losing in 1960 and losing his bid

one of the features was an american kitchen. you have this translator working with president nixon and nikita khrushchev. >> vice president in this court soviet premier khrushchev on a preview of the united states fair in moscow. in the official opening of the american exposition. cap parts of the soviet trade show in new york and dedicated to showcasing the highest standard of life in our country. on this cap -- this occasion traditional the policy goes by the board. this doesling crackling exchange. they finished off before the american videotape recorders. every aspect of american cold war and soviet rivalry is in full terms. the threat of atomic warfare, diplomacy, economic progress. soviet will overtake america and then waved bye-bye. tricia nixon appeared to enjoy themselves. the communist spokesman dealing with a capitalist lawyer. say -- you would have made a good lawyer yourself. culmination is the agreement that both nations have a debate uncensored. >> everywhere do have said has been taken down. i promise you that ev

that is a part of american character and american history.resident trump rings this to the foreground because he is the president of a new, emergent white identity politics. it simply called itself american before. president obama as a role to play in this because these are the two facets of american character. they have always been with us. the issue is that if we get wrapped up in a domestic discussion about obama versus trump, we forget that obama tends to represent some of the worst instincts of the american character overseas in terms of the continuing exertion of american imperial power. having a president as nice and articulate as president obama did not really change these policies. home, some of his closest immigrant rights allies ended up calling him the deported in chief. he deported millions and millions of immigrants to this country. viet: despite their rhetoric and praise, yes, they were responsible for various kinds of policies that had negative impacts on minority populations. and those of us who consider ourselves to be progr

he said, go fight the americans, the americans beat them. all of dunmore's troops were forced to treat -- forced to retreat to british ships. when a smallpox epidemic broke dunmore fought the african-american soldiers on board to get off. he offloaded them onto an isolated island in the chesapeake bay then sail off without them. later when a patriot force took that island, the patriots found many of those black soldiers stranded, dying of starvation in a putrid fever. others were lying dead in the open fields, there were a few scattered women and children there. one starving child was suckling at the breast of its dead mother. of the blackf regiment died that way. a shameful reward for their service to the british. the british as you know were soon in retreat but it took years for them to formally and finally surrender. in the meantime, thousands of black refugees flooded into new york city. i talked about the white refugees flooding in. several were black. the british held on to new york city for most of the war. because of the shortage of

except it that americans have to do to ship. the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished that's finished and be need to leave the fine. ship and the only thing i would like to see is i know it's be in ulip we should not make the mistake to believe that the presidency of donald trump is just. a short short living mistake. i'm afraid that trump is scruples and being america much more than obama presented america should be a well this policy will probably continue with the america i mean the america first policy so the french finance minister is calling dog european leaders to defend europe's economic sovereignty from the united states now at the same time he and his german colleagues are courting their u.s. counterparts the new chain trying to get exceptions for their a company's from their looming sanctions so what kind of sour and it is this if europe is repeatedly finding itself in betting positions towards the united states . you know it's it's the old the old problem the discussion is really old. how to deal with the a

the reality is that when rural hospitals and the american cancer society and the american diabetes association when americans rose up not on personal grounds that health care grounds to stop that what happened was the trump administration republicans decided to try to kill it including the poison pill they put in the tax measure that recently passed. as a result you are seeing these rapidly increasing costs including one of the plants and maryland calling for a 91% increase. i just want to read a quote from chad burwell who minced no words as to the cost here in a quote and this is from the chair. first continuing action on the part of the administration to systematically undermine the market and make it almost impossible to carry out the mission. that's why health care costs are are going up. the american people are onto it and i can assure you our colleagues will continue every weekend to bring those costs down. we are fighting the republican congress that is determined to take us in another direction. they were public and budget cutting medicare and a call for cutting medicaid by a trillion

american historians. what did he die of? prof. semmes: grant reportedly smoked over 30 cigars a day. steve: 30! prof. semmes: he used to smoke a pipe, but during the civil war, a newspaper reporter made a comment about grant holding a cigar in victory, and the next thing you know, people were sending boxes of cigars to him. he tried giving them away, but he switched from the pipe to cigar, and importantly, we know now that tobacco is addictive and tobacco can cause cancer, and he did -- he was diagnosed with throat and mouth cancer. at present time, he had lost all of his money in what we would now call a ponzi scam. ferdinand ward basically stole money from grant, money from his friends, and when grant realized that the man had taken all of his money, he only had about $100 to his name, so he started to write his memoirs. he started writing articles for "century" magazine, and then a good friend of his, a man by the name of mark twain, probably the other most famous american at the time, went to grant an

protecting americans. protecting americans even if sometimes a lawyer says something might be technically legal. i do not believe, and i regret to say this, that gina haspel will be that kind of leader. mr. president, before i wrap up there are a couple of other matters with the torture program. i mentioned that since the torture program was largely declassified, it could be discussed openly. now, senator mccain, who we admire so much, said last week that ms. haspel refusal to acknowledge torture immorality is disqualifying. i would just say mr. president, i will talk a bit more about senator mccain before i wrap up. i've always been a john mccain guy. on a lot of issues. mccain for the senate, joined the commerce committee, that he chaired and i will talk a little about that. but he sure sums it up right on torture. he says, it is wrong. it harms america because of the statement that it makes about american values around the world. and then he npoints out it is not effective. but since the program has bee

so i urge all americans, and particularly younger americans who he get this better maintain generation because they lived with the internet their whole life -- i urge all americans to consider to contact their senators this week and next week before the vote and demand that their senator restore net neutrality. contact your senators, americans, please. your wallets and well-being, in ways far more significant than most things we do here, depend on it. i yield the floor.

a popular american -- arrival of numbers of the american -- the strength of american arrives. 86, the year -- the scene before me on this former battlefield. so many who served here with the american army in the world war. and to see them surrounding -- friends of the french nation. this is particularly interesting because here, the first and final advance of the enemy toward harris late in may 1900 and they were stopped by the second and third american division. the third at chats or care. the enemy then held what was known as the city, on july 18 1918 the first and second division, the moroccan division as part of the french army successfully attacked the enemy south front and made this position -- this monument commemorates the services of every unit that participated in this region, including the french army. i extend to the veterans in the region a warm welcome here today, and trust that your visit to france may meet with your highest expectations. i greet you most cordially. >> the national commander of the american region at the address. >> we have assembled here today. by thos

gail on twitter says what an american moment, proud to be an american, so happy for these free men, freedomto thank the pres. and vp, the first lady and second lady for all the hard work and representing the country. elijah tweets welcome home, we have a president who cares for his people, trump always finds a way to do what seems impossible. god bless america. barbara also relates to tears of pride and joy, so amazing, i am in a puddle of tears, thank you, donald trump, prayers for warmbier's family. those three american hostages reacting this morning. one of them telling the media this whole thing feels like a dream. todd: one of those tweets stuck out to me from dale saying this is an american moment. in our highly polarized world, you are literally a republican or democrat and there's nothing else in the world this is one of those moments we come together. >> one of the detainees will be getting good news if he hasn't already. while he was in north korea he didn't know this but he is going to be a grandfather. welcome home to him, i'm sure those families will experience those. todd: thr

john: a fully american army under american command.ere there people who wanted to take command of the american army? edward: yes there were. the french had this idea called thatamation and that means they would fight under their command and put american soldiers in their uniforms. we weren't going to accept that but we had a compromise. wilson had to send divisions as well as brigades and companies to the front underserved -- to the front to serve under french religious command. they are still -- french or british command. theirre still serving in own uniforms, but they were under french and british command. french -- pardon me, the germans had begun a number of offenses in march and april where the allies thought they had their backs to the wall but there was a chance the germans would split the part french and british armies, draw them to the coast. by the end of may, german offenses are starting to slow down. there is no german drive on paris at this point. the germans are simply trying to create conditions where they can launch a m

president greeting the freed americans here.uld be historic diplomacy. certainly an early step. >> it's interesting in the past like when trump went to las vegas after the mass shooting and met with the first responders. that video was turned into a campaign video. which they put on social media. something similar in texas. during the hurricanes. how soon will it be before we see these turned around and put out by a campaign message? >> i expect before the sunrises you will see something like that. without question. that is just the fact of life in the social mode ya times certainly this president certainly aware of the images. i expect his campaign to mention it. and he certainly will share this message. the question i think in a deeper way is what happens when that meeting takes place with kim jong un. is he going to be able to negotiate something lasting? the iran nuclear deal which was dismantled this week was years in the making. this is at the very beginning road of this. clearly it's something the president wants to do. a

he came prishesly detained american -- capriciously detained american citizens, robbed them of their freedom, didn't let them go home to their families. their release should not be exulted, it should be expected. it is no great accomplishment of kim jong-un to do this. when the president does it, he weakens american foreign policy and puts americans at risk around the world. if other of our -- if our adversaries look at what the president has said in reaction to kim jong-un, why shouldn't they detain american citizens and get a huge pat on the back when they release them? it's like so many of the president's foreign policy actions. quick, not thought through, related to show and to ego. when nations -- if our adversaries from iran to china who already hold wrongful americans think they can get something, praise, standing, diplomatic concessions by unlawfully detaining americans in their country, you can bet they'll try. these are bad people. the leaders of these dictatorships like iran. so i caution the administration. we're all rooting for diplomacy to succeed on the korean peninsul

jim: and we says, "you know, we're american citizens. we have american right. we have rights that citizens have, american citizens have. and first of all," we says, "you can't do this to american citizens." they says, "you guys are not american citizens. you're 4c, you're enemy aliens." so we says, "no, we're not enemy aliens. we're american citizens, and that our constitution, bill of rights all say these things can't happen to american citizens without due process of the law." robert: what was the challenge in making this a film, and what was it that you wanted to make sure got across in terms of his story? jesse: the main challenge of making a film with a young man like mr. tanimoto was keeping up with him. jim walks many miles every day. he gets up very early. as he said, he's a farmer. he's used to long hours and hard work, and he's a very spry young man at 94. robert: and what did you wanna make sure came across in his story? jesse: i wanted to make sure people understood that jim is someone who actually lived through these events that i think are even mo

host: a fully american army under american command. whether people who wanted to take command of the army? guest: the french and british army have this idea called amalgamation, where americans will be put into french and british uniforms and fight under their command. we would not stand for that. woodrow wilson would not accept that, but he did have the compromise. belleau wood was an example of that. he had to send divisions and brigades and sometimes regiments and companies to the front to serve under french or british command for a time. they are wearing their own uniforms, still fighting under their own officers directly but under overall friends were british command. host: where the allies winning the war? guest: they were definitely back on their heels. difference in the gun -- the germans have begun a number of offenses in march and april of 1918 where the allies thought they had their backs to the wall and it was a chance the germans would split apart the french and british armies, drive to the coast. by the end of may 1918, t

whether you want to talk about direct american involvement, or american involvement in french or in thepreviously, perspective of the entire cold war. whatever you want, we can talk about war as altars writing soldiers and nationbuilding -- as soldiers fighting soldiers, and nationbuilding. but the was an international war. it was not just the united states versus north vietnam and i foundg, what fascinating was in 1958 there was a conglomerate called the free world forces. her out the vietnam war there are tens of thousands -- throughout the vietnam war there tens and thousands of south koreans fighting on the vietnam side. there are australians fighting in this war, in addition to chinese and soviet assistance. ,e have to consider temporarily, we talk about 1968. we have to understand, the cost of this war goes past 1968. the united states pays for this war still. american involvement in vietnam, they just assumed everyone had agent orange. everyone who served in the military in 1958 has health care because of the assumption they have been exposed to agent orange. if you did not know that, alie

imports are not the only thing at stake here i've already heard some suggestions and mainstream american media that in order to fill these two hundred billion dollar trade deficit pledge the chinese may need to swap european goods for american ones they may stop buying airbus and buy buoying in stats as if it was some exclusive tucson if dots were to proceed i suppose the current trade where would look like child's play the rule american demond on china is not about farm produce it's about high technology americans are concerned about china's made in china twenty twenty five program which seeks to subsidize china's development of ten critical technologies technologies where the best in particular the u.s. head of china today including robotics commercial jetliner manufacture. computer microchips it's a crime. so the american demand is that instead of china subsidizing this made in china i don't even if i program should be buying technology products from the american market and this demand has not been well office. but this isn't the heart of the nickel see sions the negotiating strategy

pm trudeau: putting aluminum, american planes, and steele in american tanks.sidered abe national security threat to the united states, that's inconceivable. will harm industry and workers on both sides of the canada-u.s. border, disrupting link supply chains that have made north american steele and aluminum more competitive all around the world. [speaking french] will harmariffs industries and workers on both sides of the canada-u.s. border and will disrupt supply chains that have made steele and aluminum from north america more competitive across the whole world. p.m. trudeau: these tariffs are an affront to the long-standing partnership between canada and the united states. and in particular, an affront to the thousands of canadians who have fought and died alongside their american brothers in arms. comrades in arms. the ties of commerce, friendship, and family between americans and canadians are undiminished indeed. they have never been stronger. the government of canada is confident that shared values, geography, and common interests will ultimately overco

he was mexican american. he was presented to the major league public as the spanish catcher of the providence club, because to mark him as his actual mexican american identity would be to present him not of high enough stock of race to play in the major leagues. to make him spanish, that is acceptable because he is european. those are the kinds of stories that we can learn about how race categories were being used and manipulated to place latinos. i will throw you one last example, he is actually not latino, but he explains the story of latinos in baseball. one of the best african-american players, who suffered exclusion in the told "sporting life" 1900s magazine, had i not been so dark, i might have passed as a spaniard or something of that kind. here you have an african american who understands how race is being a manipulated in baseball and united states. latino long history of participation in baseball. it is not just the dominicans who just arrived or the cubans who defected. they are all connected to a

if you call us all americans. let's call us all americans instead of real americans. host: thank you for the call. guest: i think you are on the shaky ground when you are defining real americans. it sends a message that some people are not included. you said that people who are obsessed with the latest crisis in washington somehow don't fit into this group. i think people obsessed about withay the crisis came up people trying to put food on the table and send their kids to college. this is a time for political engagement and more engagement since the vietnam era. i think that is positive. is messy -- democracy and we should argue it out and everybody gets in the arena and make a case. guest: maybe i can better defined by saying what is not a real american to me. not a real american of those americans who want to fundamentally change the shape of our nation and degrade and demise the constitution and make .t to something it is not not real americans are those who don't recognize that our country was founded on judeo-christian principles with a limited government aspect

way. -- labor and american food waste. if we talk about the beef industry on monday and look at the jungle, and on wednesday we look at chicken stocks factory and production in the chicken industry here in the american south. today we will look at agricultural labor. as i said, those in the room were vegetarians are not off the hook. in fact, we have to think about the ways in which agricultural labor has often been exploited in a very difficult condition under which the vegetables that we eat are often consumed. there has been a very large rise in the recent years about the importance of eating locally and eating more vegetarian style food and more vegetables. michael, many of you might've heard of, he wrote "the on the ." hee omnivore's dilemma had a catch phrase that was popular which was common in food, not too much, mostly plants. this is good advice for those of us concerned about our help. eat less meat and again, we should have real food. alice waters, who is a chef, as well as barbara are both writers who have wri

the rule american demand on china is not about farm produce it's about high technology americans are concerned about china's made in china twenty twenty five program which seeks to subsidise china's development of ten critical technologies technologies where the best in particular the us way ahead of china today including robotics commercial jetliner manufacture. computer microchips it's a crime. so the american demand is that instead of china subsidizing this made in china i don't even if i program should be buying technology products from the american market now this demand has not been both opposite but this is at the heart of the nickel see the negotiating strategy of the night states they are trying to get china to. to stop subsidizing some underwriting this major technology initiative and instead by technology products from the u.s. in order to balance the bilateral trade because if the chinese want to buy major technology products from the u.s. market that would be a much better sure way of cutting down the trade surplus than buying american farm produce which even if they bou

the capriciousness of the american administration. looking at the latest decisions of president trump, someone could see them think with friends like that who needs enemies. >> i mean, you know, i haven't heard that recently from european ally to the united states president. that's quite harsh. >> it is. and one of the things we are dealing with, and obviously on the global stage, is trying to separate to what extent is president trump's showmanship and bullying and ill considered it seems social media postings, to what extent does that shape our policy? and basically we made things as difficult for ourselves as possible. which is kind of a classically american thing to do when you think about it. churchill is reputed to have said you can always count on us to do the right thing after every other possibility. and we are certainly testing that at the moment. this is a very perilous moment in the life. country because the conventions that have died are at best vulnerable and that at worst are already gone. the question is we know that t

three americans are coming home. we should stop and forget about politics and say this is pretty awesome. >> it is. we should remember what kind of regime we are dealing with. they take human pawns. >> he could could do it tomorrow or next week. >> this is very reaganesque. the iranian gave back the hostages. >> i mentioned the iran nuclear deal. those critics about last summer with the fire and fewer reremarks and where he talked about little rocket man. he's bringing us to the bring of nuclear war. instead, we see the north korean dictator giving up testing recently. giving up three americans without conditions, at least in the early stages. we don't hear about conditions or money. and by the way, the dictator is headed to the negotiating table with the president. i get your scepticism. there is no nobel peace prize. the critics that were saying we were on the brink of nuclear war. >> we have to let go, look, if he's going to do this to the iranians, the north koreans will never deal with him. here's what we are he

polk could now claim american blood was shed on american soil, but some of taylor's officers -- including ulysses s. grant -- believed they'd been used as bait to catch a war. so when word of the attack reached washington, polk's allies pushed a war resolution through congress and put a two-hour time limit on debate. then they used up an hour and a half of the two hours reading the accompanying documents out loud. the 14 house members and two senators who voted against the war bill were vilified as traitors. by then taylor had already won two battles along the rio grande and was preparing to invade mexico. the battles were fought right along here. at palo alto and recited in the resaka de la palma. at first there was tremendous support for the war. public rallies were held around the country, young men rushed to enlist in the militia. when their own state's militia quotas were filled, they went to neighboring states and enlisted. the public support faded as the war dragged on and the casualty list grew with no end in sight. polk believed the war would last just three months, but national
