certainly, the american plan was implemented in u.s.territors and really anywhere the -- territories and anywhere the u.s. had power. >> [inaudible] >> thank you. >> did everyone hear that? >> imposing decency. it's a really great book, really important book. >> and we're going to end over here. >> hi, thanks. it's been wonderful hearing you. very interesting story. i just wanted to comment because i worked in public health for 30 years, but i also was so intrigued by what you talked about, because i didn't become an academic, but i did my dissertation on the history of a boston hospital, and it reminded me -- i got to look at all this great stuff, and i looked at the early records of the outdoor department. >> 1910. >> outpatient department. and the biggest diagnosis was stds, which isn't surprising. you know, i think a lot of this is sort of a complex interplay of forces. waves of southern eastern european influences and people of other backgrounds. eleanor roosevelt because she and many upper class women, you know, they started nursi

americans saved and budgeted. there was a tremendous interest in household budgeting during the 1920s. they traded and bartered. they traded eggs for a homemade dress, they bartered and traded services amongst each other, sometimes they resorted to stealing. and they went to secondhand stores. they purchased things on the black market. so these are a few of the ways that americans tried to stretch their dollars. it didn't work entirely. there's only so far you could stretch something. americans begin to look for ways to increase their purchasing power, they moved away from trying to:troll -- control price . they took care of the other set up equation which was purchasing power. we tried to get paid more, ford paid five dollars a day which was twice the wages of all other automobile factories, in the 1920s ford changed the wage to six dollars. after the stock market crashed in the economy was in decline, for -- ford raised his wages to seven dollars per day. they laid off workers but those who -- those who are luck

americans are better off. i've heard from small businesses, slike shredx in griffin georgia, custom bodyworks, and emmitt manufacturing in la grage. they're all making investment, expanding, being more productive. most importantly, they're hire manager people and they're investing in their people with higher wages and better training. and the families are doing better throughout our district. but these businesses are doing more than simply investing in their people and in their businesses. they're investing in their communities. so our communities are become manager helpful. all of this is the result of a tax reform bill, better regulatory environment, and a changing attitude and education that ensures that people pursue their talents and not just a degree. but they are involved in making sure that they are able to make a living in viable careers for a long period of time. it's not just the economy that's making us more secure. we've invested heavily in our military and we have fully funded our men and women s

mihiel was a major success for the americans. they overtook all of their objectives on the first today. they had the germans on the run. as you pointed out, the better continued for another four days as more of a cleanup. guillaume: it was around 15,000 prisoners captured. the germans were surrounded in their own pocket. that is the landscape. barbed wire. the germans had heavy trenches. still very visible now. very deep ones. mitchell: where did the germans fall back to? guillaume: they had to fortify the line called the mihiel line. that was like 13 miles away from the front line. that is where they retreated, finally. almost until the end of the war, because the frontline stabilized september 16. the major movement for the americans would be to move there. mitchell: by the 13th, the second day of the battle, it was mostly in american hands. guillaume: you can see how the germans are surrounded. it is great to see the landscape 100 years ago. mitchell: right, it does not look much different today. guillaume: exactly. the enemy

but for americans to see american kids dead, american kids wounded, it really had an impact. willhe american people kind of except the loss of the war from 1965, 1960 six and 1967. in 1968 we witness a much more vocal movement opposing the war. these images, which were relatively well-received initially, in time they started to affect the american position of the war in vietnam. these are the big three on the american side. you recognize johnson in the , mcnamara, the secretary of defense, then the secretary of state. of there the architects war in vietnam. those are the individuals who will effectively be blamed, we should say, forgetting the u.s. involved in the vietnam war. again, as we talked about on tuesday, it is unfair to pin all of this on johnson. his predecessors, kennedy, eisenhower, before him, it really made consequential decisions. made itwould argue almost impossible for johnson to just avoid an increased american commitment in vietnam. technically, american combat troops enter vietnam under johnson's watch. but in a way, that is the logical culmination to a p

these incredible american heroes will soon lay at rest on sacred american soil. even during the campaign, people would come up to me, a long time ago, many decades ago, oftentimes they were older, some cases they were younger, great-grandfather, my great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father, they asked if i could do something about it. i would look at them and say we don't get looping too well with that and they said whatever you can do. and it was something important to me. i've asked the vice president and others to just pay a special tribute. they will do that. we honor the sacred memory of every incredible american patriot who fought and died in that war. in everything we do, in every action we take, we are fighting for loyal, hard-working patriotic citizens of our blessed nation. we're making our country great again. we're respected again all over the world. our military will soon be stronger than it's ever been by far. that in itself will produce thousands and thousands of jobs. nobody makes equipment like we do. nobody. whether it's planes or missiles or

in american occupied okinawa, both american and okinawa women turned out to be quite enthusiastic in terms of the participation in cold war internationalism. so against the backdrop of okinawa's vibrant transformation into the so-called keystone of the pacific, american and okinawa women engaged in a series of ferment and domestic activities to cultivate women to women relationship. people to people relation at the time. americanof a milken -- military occupies -- ranging from cooking demonstrations to also fashion shows. invitedvited ok now -- okinawa women. american home economists, you can see the first one on your left. they were dispatched from michigan state university.

they hide it from the american people because the american people don't agree with it. but they don't want it and they have pushed forward judge kavanaugh to be the torch bearer on the court for their mission. the list of 25 that president trump selected from was vetted and approved by this very heritage foundation. the heritage foundation would not give its stamp of approval to anyone who would maintain or grow our health care law, particularly for protection for americans with preexisting conditions. now the american people deserve to know where judge kavanaugh stands. this is a serious issue. this is not something that we can allow a nominee to hide behind and say i will follow existing law. we need to know their view of government's ability to be involved in people's health care, to help it be funded when the average person can't afford it given how high the costs are. right now several cases that challenge the structure and constitutionality of the court are winding through our courts. if one reaches the supreme court, i will say to my fellow americans your right t

mince words, today was a terrible day for the american brand, for the american people, and for all of our allies area we did not negotiate from a position of strength. acted from a position of weakness. as a result, one of the world's worst despots walked away from helsinki with a win. vladimir putin is leaving helsinki with an undeserved a. lossnited states took a today when we backed away from our long-standing commitment to principled american leadership and frankly walked away from basic reality. the press asked the president who he believed on the subject of russian information operations in the u.s. in 2016. did he believe in the minimum of the u.s. intelligence community or did he of that she believe in vladimir putin? i thought turned russian desperate? the choice was between people who were risking their lives on behalf of freedom and people who go around the world taking people's lives to limit freedom. the president of the united states, how to answer? he answered that he didn't see any reason why putin would have interfered with your selection. make no mistake, to has a re

american exports are on the rise. this is a strong economy and leadership on improving our trade relations for american jobs andworkers. >> when do you expect them to announce another solid trade deal. will you be able to announce them before the midterm elections. >> we are encouraged about the free trade agreement. the u.s. trade representative continues to believe there is a possibility before we get to labor day we might have a reformed nafta agreement. those details are still being worked out. look, the president came into this administration with the belief that for too long americans, our economy, our workers are being taken advantage of by trade deals. whether it's renegotiating with south korea or renegotiating nafta or resetting the balance in our relationship with the european union or resetting the imbalance lancimbalance with che that strong leadership is contributing the moment -- momentum. >> will you have a relationship with mexico? >> i hope to reach an agreement. president trump will stay focused on

is what american democracy is supposed to be about. what most people think is majority should rule. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. but everybody gets a vote, not a situation in which billionaires can spend unlimited sums of money to support candidates who represent their interests. but that is in fact what goes on right now. and many americans may think, well, that was a decision made by congress, made by the president. not so. that disastrous decision, which is undermining american democracy, came about by a 5-4 vote of the united states supreme court in the citizens united case. that is what a supreme court decision can do. it can undermine american democracy and create a situation where the very wealthiest people in this country can buy politicians and influence legislation. mr. president, several years ago the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of the affordable care act, but the court also ruled that the medicaid expansion, as part of the affordable care act, had to be optional for states. i'm on the health, educat

and most americans realize it is true. >> it is the americans who are celebrating.not celebrating. they must stay and face the uncertainty of whatever is going to happen to them next. >> in hanoi, the american military involvement in the vietnam war finally came to an end. for if anything or anyone symbolized the american agony of vietnam, it was the prisoners. >> most were pilots, and many had spent more than six years in prison. now they were on their way home. >> it wasn't really until we rolled down the runway, finally lifted off enemy soil, that we all broke loose and and started hugging and kissing the air force nurses. it was just unbelievable. and it was all euphoria. >> families gathered in the den to watch the arrival of the planes in the philippines. there was no word as to which of the three planes the lieutenant colonel would be on. the first one landed, but it wasn't that one. then came the second plane. someone in the family said that he won't be on this one either. but he was. >> oh! >> it was him! oh, my god! oh! >> we were greeted by thousands of p

army film documents the american operation. announcer: on september 12, 1918, under the command of general john j pershing, that u.s. army launched the first independent offense of of world war i. >> this was formed in september of 1914. -- mitchell: it is september 1918. the americans are about to undertake the first independent action against the enemies there because that was formed in september of 1914. is that correct? guillaume: that is correct. the germans had a big offensive and surrounded the town. mitchell: there is pershing at his headquarters. this would have been in leenee. this was a surprise attack against the germans who were vacating the area. guillaume: we see a bulge around this town of st mihiel which is west of that map. you see the landscape. part of the offense of his starting from the big plain and had to reach plateaus that you can see in the distance. this was for five heavy days. mitchell: i think that was a naval railway gun. guillaume: exactly, that is. that is probably samyiel already. mitchell: th

it creates this kind of mill you in the american southwest that reinforces a lot of these ideas of american ingenuity and hard work and a commitment to fighting. >> on sunday at 2 pm eastern on american history tv, we visited the buddy holly center to hear about the lubbock native and his musical legacy. >> the city is very proud of the fact number one, that buddy was born and raised here, and that the center is here to keep his story alive, to keep his music alive. >> them, a visit to the vietnam center and archive, located at texas tech university. the center is home to the largest collection of vietnam related material outside of the national archives. >> we have got a lot of the different types of equipment that veterans would carry, you know, the things they carried if you will. so the first aid kits, the c rations, the radios, the helmets that veterans would wear, that soldiers would wear, the still pots that would detect them from shrapnel. >> cspan's city tour of lubbock texas, saturday at noon eastern, on cspan's book tv, and sunday at 2 pm on american history tv. working with our

ends of the us political spectrum and the american media. are i don't know which side is the bride and which side of that is the groom enters a bit of sort of feels like we're at a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory. of this our full french honors the victorious world cup team returned home soil hero's welcome. this is our two international coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program. three social media giants facebook google and twitter are facing the u.s. congress at the moment over alleged political bias on their platforms the hearing is also expected to address advertising practices and fake news it comes as facebook admits that its algorithm labeled thousands of russian users as quote interested in treason supposedly for advertising purposes and that's raising concerns over who might really want to target these users are explains.

so under nixon, american is expanded. 65, americanized, starting in de-americanized. known as aware of their existence. henry kissinger, and henry kissinger'most trusted advisors. own secretary of state, and his secretary of defense do not know about these secret talks. imagine you're the guy in charge and your own president doesn't tell you. really interesting stuff. jesse? student: is there a reason why he did not tell the secretary state? prof. asselin: nixon doesn't trust anyone anything's this is too sensitive. only those he trusts most will be trusted with this. trust anyone anything's this is as he is undertaking the secret diplomacy, nixon also very boldly decides to go after communist sanctuaries and supply lines in laos and cambodia. 1970, the u.s. and south vietnamese army invade cambodia. a year later, the south vietnamese army with american air support invades laos. to nixon, it makes sense. i will go after the supply lines that feed the communist war effort in the south. the thing is, nixon is supposed to be the war, and now he is invading two other coun

so african-americans are the first group of people in american history to have entire states create anti-immigration laws against them, to create brian laws against them -- boundary laws again them. illinois the first and then came indiana. it's important to remember today. this is a difficult book for know read -- to write and still read but to write because every single one of these communities deserves a book. every single one of these families deserves a book. this is basically an entire field so it was hard to write because i felt like i was skimming. he wrestled with the yesterday stores because wanted to have lots of families and he said that would be confusing and he was probably right. so whittled it down to five families so i'll read you a little excerpt about charles and which -- isiah greer who became later in life extremely successful underground railroad agents, risking their firm and they're family to -- their farm and their family to do that work and also immensely wealthy farmers. but they had to start somewhere. and first they had to clear their land. so i'll start with that little

this reckless spending fails the american people. they expect congress to spend their hard-earned tax dollars in a fiscally responsible manner. congress can no longer kick the can down the road and saddle future generations with insurmountable debt and economic consequences. i'm very proud mr. chairman of this committee's work to get her nation back on the strong fiscal path. last year this committee tasked with a sustainable budget would have balanced the budget within 10 years. it was also mentioned on enacting comprehensive tax reform that has revitalized our economy. now we are building upon that success in the budget for bright american future which continues to promote progrowth policies that create new jobs put more money back into the pockets of hard-working americans. as a former small business owner of seeing first-hand how federal regulations threaten jobs and hurt small businesses. her touch it reduces burdensome regulations to stimulate further economic growth. to balance this budget within nine years it achieves $142 bi

you are working on a book that includes the 1950's, working-class americans and black americans. all tied into sears roebuck and company. what is -- what is the research been like? traci: it looks at department stores. i focused on department stores because they have touted consumption as a means of realizing democracy. places, department stores allow anyone, black, white, regardless of age or gender to enter and buy.

we americans will choose a next president. every adult citizen has a role to play in the making of this decision. we will listen to what the candidates say, we will debate their views and our own and in november we will vote. i will still be president next january, but soon after that, the man or woman leading our country will be the one the american people pick as of this coming november. as i've said, we americans will also be thinking about the future of the world this year. the same reasons you will be thinking of it, as well. in a few months, general secretary gorbachev and i hope to meet once again, this time in moscow. last month in washington we signed the intermediate nuclear forces treaty in which we agreed to eliminate an entire class of u.s. and soviet nuclear weapons. it was a history-making step towards reducing the nuclear arms of both sides. it was just a beginning. now in geneva, the soviet and american representatives are discussing a 50% reduction in strategic nuclear weapons. perhaps we can have a treaty re

we on the american side are determined to try. you see, we have a vision of a world safe from the threat of nuclear war and indeed all war. such a world would have far fewer missiles and other weapons. today both america and the soviet union have an opportunity to develop a defensive shield against ballistic missiles, a defensive shield that will threaten no one for the sake of a safer peace, i am commit today pursuing the possibility that technology offers. the general secretary and i also anticipate continuing our talks about other issues of deep concern to our peoples. for example, the expansion of contact between our peoples and more information flowing across our borders. expanding contacts and information where required decisions about life at home that will have an impact on relations abroad. this is also true in the area of human rights. as you know, we americans are concerned about human rights, including freedoms of speech, press, worship and travel. we will never forget that a wise man has said that violence does not li

i think american officials would say that.thing to gather information, it's another to deploy it and weaponi izize it was done here. rod rosenstein said it's a matter of speculation in terms of what the russians wanted to do with the election. i take issue with that, the u.s. intelligence community has said definitively their intent was to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump. >> pete williams, our colleague reporting again from the news conference. pete, there are no americans named in this. that's the other piece of it. we've all been waiting to see whether robert mueller can connect the russian hacking to any american operatives helping them to weaponize it. the russian e-mails, the hacks from the dnc, are really targeted. i can this of a number of instances where i would be traveling with the campaign, covering hillary clinton, and a particular e-mail by one of the millions that were taken from ten years, for instance, of john podesta's e-mails, would be put out there at a particular moment in the campaign for maximu

jobs for american workers. president trump will sign an executive order to establish the national council for the american worker and a separate advisory board. the counselor will work to develop a national strategy and bring together cabinet level leadership to build on the work already been died. the secretary has been working hard over the last 17 months to ensure that the skills align with those. secretary acosta is looking at increasing access to vocational education. secretaries mattis has shown tremendous leadership in the transition of military service members of the time the service comes to the close. director mulvaney has put forward an exciting and ambitious plan to merge the department of education and labor so we can holistically think about the role of education. and administrator mcmahon has been traveling around the country and listening. now for the first time in a long time now that these regulations have occurred there looking at skilled labor. in addition to the u.s. government counsel, and

americans should not be complacent. the vast majority of americans want to see it r in place. but there is ans act gave now personified by judge kavanaugh's elevation from a potential elevation, hope it doesn't happen to the bench. we have to be vigilant. vice president and remarks that he wants low overturned with a reminder that the president and vice president have explicitly promised to appoint curt constitutionalists to the supreme court who would quote, confine roe v. wade to history. those are the words of the vice president. justice kavanaugh -- judge kavanaugh has written about about environmental protection, consumer protections, common sense gun safety laws, all of which should be carefully examined by the senate and the people before we had any hearings. his history as a republican partisan lawyer during the clinton and bush eras, documents, e-mails, writings need to be thoroughly examined, particularly his more recent writings about his decade of authority. judge kavanaugh argued a president should not be subject to an investigation while in office. that a preside

officials from the american prosecution with regard to that charge do you think the american side is law. to take up on that all for a because i'm sure try to trump actually said that it was a good idea but do you think the bureaucracy is likely to welcome something like that well i'm sure the bureaucracy won't welcome it and i think from an american point of view the temptation is to say well we'll go investigate your. folks but you cannot come here and investigate ours so i suspect it'll bogged down over wrestle prosody with whether in fact. such an investigation would likely produce anything i'm i'm not so sure i think that from what i can gather i've seen the indictment but i haven't seen it in the material that underpins it but i have talked to some of the people who are involved in the process and i think they have evidence that's pretty conclusive you know so if you had a tape of a phone conversation between a and b. who say we have got but the e-mails from the d.n.c. headquarters and we are proposing to release them on this schedule and then somebody else says no don't use th

our american revolution. guillaume: you see colonel stanton. mitchell: although it is often attributed to pershing, he did not say it. guillaume: lafayette's grave is in a private cemetery. people from lafayette were killed by the guillotine and put there. mitchell: can you translate this for us? they are on their way to the front, is that what it says? guillaume: yes, it's as american troops on their way to the front. we see soldiers leaving the main towns and heading to the northeast of france. mitchell: this would have been probably early autumn 1917? guillaume: probably. they arrived to the barracks and the kitchen. this is looking like east of france already. at the beginning, american soldiers are closed by the frontline. we don't speak about true big offensive in 1917. they were training to get more and more experience because then they would face germans that have three years of experience. [indiscernible] sammies was the nicknames that the french gave to the americans because of uncle sam. this is a

i'm going to talk directly to the american people, because sometimes people say what to the american people care about who is on the court? well, it is the court that makes the decisions and has made the decisions in the last few decades about who you can marry, about where you can work, about if you can vote, and in the case of my grandfather, who worked 1500 feet underground in the maintenance like him if his workplace would be safe. i would not be here without those kind of course rulings. that's what this is about. when you look at this nominee, judge kavanaugh, you see someone who has not upheld those rights so many times did you look at his rulings on healthcare that my colleagues have discussed. you look at his rulings on reproductive rights. you look at his rulings on consumer issues. those people that thought it was wrong when wall street ran amok and ran over all of us and took the cars and drove off, well, this judge ruled that the consumer, , the consumer financl protection bureau that was set up to protect you, that that was unconstitutional. that's what he said. and for

talk to theg to american people.doetimes people say, what the american people care about who is on the court? thes the court that makes decisions and has made the decisions in the last few decades about how you can marry, where you can work, if you can and about if his workplace was saved. i would not be here without those rulings. that is what this is about. when you look at this nominee, who has notone upheld those rights. so many times. you look at his rulings on health care my colleagues have discussed. you look at his rulings on reproductive rights. you look at his rulings on consumer issues. those people that thought it was wrong when wall street ran out -- ran over all of us, this if the consumer financial protection bureau was set up to protect you, that was unconstitutional. for people out there that want to have net neutrality, they think regular people should have the same access to the internet is wealthy people or big corporations coming he said the opposite. he dissented. he said that is not true. they

more than 20 american communities bear the name berlin.r founding fathers, thomas jefferson, benjamin franklin and john adams negotiated a treaty of friendship and commerce with frederick the great in 1785, establishing a basis for the special relationship that we enjoy today. americans were effected in other ways by this city when some of the best and brightest people active in berlin came to the united states. albert einstein, george gross, kurt weil. the list of former residents of this city who changed the face of modern america is practically limitless. all right. he is just told me and now they want to create heaven on earth. the -- we celebrate with you today -- well -- [ applause ] thank you. thank you. well, i thank you very much, and i wish you well. so, we do celebrate with you today, remembering the heroic deeds of these, all of them here on this platform, and all berliners and the long-standing relationship between our two countries. but let's not forget the painful lessons of the not so recent past and draw on those experienc

in the american embassy and -- in saigon, the spanking new american embassy in saigon. any problem here? >> it is supposed to be a bastion of safety and security. prof. faulker: what do we say an embassy is? so what have these viet cong staffers been able to do? [inaudible] prof. faulker: they did not get into the building, though there is debate back and fourth, but you are killing these guys in the center of the american embassy in saigon. any problem with that? >> you are winning under a normal program, and now you're embassy -- you're embassy -- your embassy -- prof. faulker: how about that picture on the far right? how about that picture on the far right? >> they say they are to help the people in the south, but the context of this picture, we don't know what is happening. we have a person whose arms are bound being shot execution style on the street. at that point, there is really no threat. prof. faulker: the police chief of saigon. >> correct. prof. faulker: so if you are in peoria and seeing these images on your television, what you thinking? >> what is going o

mitchell: they were excited about having the american troops and hoping that the american go immediately get in line, but that wasn't so, and we required several months of training. french troops were hoping american troops would amalgamate right into french command. which, for the most part, did not happen, but pershing allowed some american troops to fight with the french including the african-american division, the 93rd. guillaume: here are troops already. this looks like the chans elysee. they parade on the main avenue of paris. now we are at the lafayette grave, east of paris. mitchell: this was a famous scene and the immortal words , "lafayette we are here" has been repeated over and over. it is part of the lore of the americans saying we are repaying you,less i at, -- repaying lafayette for your help during our american revolution. guillaume: you see colonel stanton. mitchell: although it is often attributed to pershing, he did not say it. guillaume: nowadays, it looks quite similar. it is a private cemetery. few people go there. killed during the french revolution by the guilloti

every day, 96 americans, 96 americans, mr. speaker, are killed by gun violence. americans are 25 times more likely to be murdered, 25 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than people in other developed countries. americans can no longer feel safe in going to say we have to do something? we have to take action churches movie theaters, at work, at military bases, at nightclubs, at restaurants, shopping malls, grocery stores, baseball fields, congressional baseball fields. and even worse, our children are no longer safe at school. since 2009, there have been 288 school shootings in the u.s.. today little kids are afraid to wear lightup shoes to school because a gunman can see them when they have to hide for their life. from the time of the mass shooting at sandy hook to the mass shooting in parkland, the house of representatives has held more than 40, 40 moments of silence related to gun violence. however in that same time, the refuses to consider any real piece of legislation to hold hearings or take any action that can reduce this gun violence epidemic. des

entire states were banning entry to african-american immigrants. so they are the first group of people in american history to have entire states create anti- immigration laws against them. and then came indiana. every single one of them deserves a book. this is hard to write because i felt like a lot of the time i was skimming. i actually wrestled a bit with my editor because i wanted to have lots and families and he said that's can be confusing and he's probably right. we whittled it down to about five families. they homesteaded and armed the frontier before indiana state have. they became extremely successful underground railroad but they have to start somewhere. first they have to clear their land. >> entitled each chapter from the declaration of independence in the bill of rights. so chapter one as life, liberty indiana. spring 1818. they strapped their backs before their first day of prowling together. once he got to the starting place. they would have adjusted the lines who held the teams have upfront. they have their axes ready. charles have

but first, the whole question is americans.robert mueller, and rosenstein have laid out what the russians have done, and they aren't charging any americans today, but it doesn't mean they won't be charged in the future. and that's really important. but just to your point about the timing, the president has said, i'm going to ask vladimir putin. i don't know if he's going to say anything. what rod rosenstein, his own deputy attorney general, was saying is that's not good enough. that's what we've heard from republicans and democrats. you can't just say, please don't do it. this is a major, major diplomatic breach. this is a major crime perpetuated by the man that the president is going to go and meet with. so to just say, did you hack? no. did you meddle? no. okay, well, don't do it again. this is a very detailed account of 12 members of vladimir putin's very own government, proof according to his own justice department, that they went in a very strategic way into the american political system, into key political committees, and

the americans decide for a quick victory and had three goals.be the germans in europe, pivot and defeat japan and come home. that their goal was going to evolve over the course of 9043 which is a subplot in the book as the americans realized the meaning of roosevelt's rendezvous with destiny and come to grips with being a permanent presence in the world. the allies needed agreement on a defined goal they needed a strategy to do it in the concentration to implement the strategy and they needed a supreme commander. summer of 1943 that was agreed and in the absence of a plan for an attack across the channel the people could agree would work it was easy to resist the american option so the third dynamic going on within the alliance is creating the plan and they were trying to do that within they had agreed to set up a planning team in london to develop and interestingly cross channel attack was the third of three tasks and they were priority tasked and first was the develop a feint that would draw them toward the sky so we could reduce them second,

american history tv reported the interview at the organization of american historians annual meeting in sacramento, california. professor tracy parker. you are working on a book that includes the 1950's, working-class americans and black americans. all tied into sears roebuck and company. what is -- what is the research been like? traci: it looks at department stores. i focused on department stores because they have touted consumption as a means of realizing democracy. places, department stores allow anyone, black, white, regardless of age or gender to enter and buy. these are sites that are often jim crow establishments. african-american workers are jobs, anything behind the scenes. they are not permitted to work in sales or managerial positions. for black consumers, they are allowed to purchase, but they cannot try on, use the restroom, eat at the lunch counter, eat at a restaurant or use the ute parlor. it is the contradiction of democracy that shows up in department stores that allow them to challenge workplace discrimination. steve: shopping is so different with amazon. what was

they hide it from the american people because the american people don't agree with it. but they don't want it and they have pushed forward judge kavanaugh to be the torch bearer on the court for their mission. the list of 25 that president trump selected from was vetted and approved by this very heritage foundation. the heritage foundation would not give its stamp of approval to anyone who would maintain or grow our health care law, particularly for protection for americans with preexisting conditions. now the american people deserve to know where judge kavanaugh stands. this is a serious issue. this is not something that we can allow a nominee to hide behind and say i will follow existing law. we need to know their view of government's ability to be involved in people's health care, to help it be funded when the average person can't afford it given how high the costs are. right now several cases that challenge the structure and constitutionality of the court are winding through our courts. if one reaches the supreme court, i will say to my fellow americans your right t

a fighting chants in the american courts. so there's noveed when it comes to the actual facts. so we have to be guided by facts not rumors. now let's get to these 12 alleged intelligence officers. of russia. i don't know the extent of the situation, but president trump mentioned this issue and i'll look into it. o far i can say the floling. off the top of my head, we have an acting, existing agreement within the united states of america and the russian ederation that dates back to 1999. the mutual assistance on criminal cases, treaty is in full effect. it works quite efficiently. initiate 100, 150 criminal cases from foreign tates. for instance, there was one case, upon request sent by the united states. so this treaty has specifically - specific legal procedures. the appropriate commission special agent mueller, send ause this treaty to formal request so we would interrogate, hold the questioning of these individuals who he believes are privy to some crimes and our enforcement are perfectly able to do the questioning and sen

a 100% american and a 100% organic. - grown american means exactly what it sounds like.st country in the world where the streams are clean, where the air is pure. we have some of the best soil in the world. just good, rich, organic, black dirt. grown american superfood was developed to capture the goodness in natural, whole foods and that's exactly what it is. - our products really go from being a fresh crop out in the field at van drunen family farms into our processing facility in a matter of hours. - grown in america means beat quality. the best service, the best price. this is part of our job, farmers and processors, to get the best product to the customer as we can. - what means the most to me about grown american superfood isn't just that it's organic, but it's organic grown in this country. it's still hard to get home in time to chop, and clean, and cook vegetables for my kids. that's what's great about the grown american superfood is i can sneak healthy, organic vegetables into foods that they already like. this is some macaroni and cheese that i made for the gir
