impressive hunt of american seamen. the war of 1812 proved once more the necessity for a strong navy maintained and a state of constant readiness, lacking adequate naval strength. we could not lift the strangling blockade. invasion had been stopped on lake champlain and new orleans, but it was not stopped in the chesapeake bay, which was the height of american naval strength. washington had been burned. the chesapeake loss to the shannon emphasized the disastrous results of lack, training and discipline. but america couldn't take pride in her fighting ships. and then a few frigates and smaller vessels had than held their own. all forerunners of our great modern fighting ships. then and ships of 1812, fighting of our great free republic.

filipino american history is rich. resilience and only powering everyone here at city hall is a part of its history. and a part of why it is important to celebrate. at west bay, our modo is there is no greater wealth than the knowledge of self. know who you are. and we cannot dom that without honoring those who come observe us. these other more then and there 200,000 filipino and filipino americans fought along side the u.s. in westerlied worry 2 denied what was promiseed them until men passd and in 70s and 80sch despite how they were treated they were proud u.s. vet residence who patiently and steadfast low fought for acknowledgment in u.s. history. these other over 30,000 who came to california denied the right to start families and marry interrishlly. instead the elder brothers created vibrant filipino communities like manila town from kaern tow jackson street and tloif for over 50 years. these are also the brave filipino student in thes lye 60s sf state and uc beshg low who joined other students to fight for acknow

the american support, american voters' taxpayers' support is withering. there have been 18 to 19 votes on ukraine and getting hard to count because they don't have individual votes. if we were going to rattle the sabers and impose a sanction much more for americans than have you hurting russia they would have an individual vote. there were 56 members of congress that voted against that. but the support has eroded against then so much to the point that the last time pelosi passed this money, she connected it to the disaster relief to florida. think about that. in order to provide relief to people who are victims, you increased the disaster and throwing fuel on fire. and plans to do the same thing. we aren't going to have an up-or-down vote but include it with response to viruses and more tropical storms and all going to be in there so if you don't vote for this, she will have a press conference and say americans didn't have a chance to vote for these people. i want to put out numbers so you can compare what we are talking about. we are talking about billio

the american revolution, the american privateers, they were not legalized pirates.they had a code of regulation that they operated under and didn't just attack. they weren't enemies. of all nations. they didn't attack any afloat. they attacked british ships or ones that were bringing british munitions to the british military. and there was a very formal they had to go through and. they often treated their prisoners quite well. so they were not like pirates, enemies, all mankind. they were fighting for a cause. they had a profit motive. they acted like pirates in the sense that they captured ships. but they also had patriotic motives and they were fighting on behalf of their country, not on behalf of themselves only, which is what pirates typically did. so that is there any privacy ship in existence today? not that i know of. sort of like i wrote a book called, leviathan history of whaling in america. there's only one wooden whale ship that you can still visit. just visited it the other day. when i spoke at mystic seaport. that's the charles w morgan. i am not of any

they want to break away from all the american influence, or rather than american dick tad, than the american very clear attempts to put their hands on the resources of other nations and give them, you know, a glass beads in return. but that brings me to the question of whether the system as it is right now can really exist because it's one thing to pick up the fight against russia. but what the americans are doing is also they are trying to, you know, penalize other countries for not, you know, either joining by a camp or simply being a natural. don't you think that there they themselves destroy the system that they so painstakingly woe and that brought them so many good is do you think that system in and of itself can, can sustain after everything that happened over the last couple of months? now this is the question i'm really, i was for to the american leads who are driving this process. how does returning germany to 1933 conditions benefit united states or russia? those workers, here's the great depression, are came to power 1930. well, the americans traded with adult people are, you kno

we're going to cover the mexican-american war today. this is where a lot of americans. i think they know very little about it. it's considered one of the more embarrassing wars in american history and there's reason sometimes americans don't like to talk about it my own mother even though i've lectured on the mexican-american war for years and written a couple books about it still thinks i study the spanish-american war sometimes and but we cleared up that confusion actually a few years back. so what i get to do is not take us through battle by battle in the war but look mainly at the the causes of the war and then a little bit about the war itself and then the consequences, but i kind of want to cover a big summary right up front and say then so this war was in the 1840s and it was consequential for for both countries and the causeway and disputed territory and down in in texas. and that's where american and mexican troops. question april of 1846 and two years later the mexican session the session that was part of the treaty ending the war gave to the united states off

we're going to cover the mexican-american war today. this is where a lot of americans. i think they know very little about it. it's considered one of we are going to cover the mexican american war today. this is a war a lot of americans likely know very little about. it is considered one of the most imperious thing wars in american history and sometimes americans only to talk about it. my own mother, even though i have lectured on it for years and write a couple books about, it still thinks i studied the spanish american war sometimes. but, we cleared up that confusion actually a few years back. so what i am going to do is not take us through battle by battle in the war but mainly look at that causes of the war and that a little bit about the war itself and then the consequences. but i kind of want to cover a big summary right up front and say then, this one was in the 18 40s and it was consequential for both countries and the causally and disputed territory down in texas. and that is where american and mexican troops clashed in april of 1846. and two years later, the m

and that is the start differences the american public saw -- stark differences the american public saw. >> so, on that briefing call, administration official said one of the main objectives is deepen our understanding of each other's priorities. with the goal of reducing misunderstanding and misperception. what do you think are those misperceptions and misunderstandings that china has about the u.s.? >> i don't want to get into the specifics. i think that you guys have followed the relationship between the two leaders over the last 20 plus months. look, i think what is important to note -- and you have heard us say this, too -- the president really think that is important to have that face-to-face leader to lead our conversation. the president and xi have spoken about five times, which we have all read out to you, when they have spoken. this will be the first time they will be in person. we believe -- the present believes it is critical to build a floor for the relationship and ensure that the rules of the road bound our competition. also ensuring that we also are working together. in

to live the american dream.'s also draw our inspiration from the story of israel itself. think about it. how probable is it that a man name abraham, who ruled no empire, commanded no army, delivered no prophecy, how improbable is it he should become one of the most influential people in the human race? a progeny to her of your face and mine. a group that comprises just 1/5 of 1% of mankind would outlive and outshine the world's greatest empires. syria has fallen. rome is no more. the walls of babylon have been reclaimed by the sands of time yet the jewish people remain strong and proud. and free. [applause] how likely is it that after 2000 years of exile, at a millennia being scattered to the four corners of the earth, centuries of relentless persecution and hardship and just four years after walking through the valley of the shadow of death, that same jewish people should return to their ancestral homeland created in a day to become a new , free, powerful, proud and prosperous jewish state of israel. [applause]

>> it's very important that american conservatism remember that it's american. and that what makes american conservatism distinct is its reference to the american founding and to the american political institutions at american political condition which has always made liberty and freedom. and i worry sometimes that the right today is drawn to models found in continental europe which is a different right, it's not the american right and even though i think the terrain of our politics has shifted from argument over the size and scope of government to an argument over the size and scope of the less cultural power and public policy may be leveraged to diminish the less cultural power but we forget the american conservatism then the right will be something very different than it's been or the hundred years i write about but also i would add it will not be able to sustain a political coalition that will attract nonpolitical everyday americans from living there lives with substantive answers i didn't become a radical institutionalist toy became a speaker of the house b

that's what the americans did. i begged to be sent specifically to the guantana, because what i saw with my own eyes in the bagram was so monstrous that i still cannot sleep. the americans themselves call the guantana the disgrace of nations. more than over the years, everything pops up more scandals by overseas officers, and this kills the image of the collective captain america so the general public became aware, the story of the pakistani zayn hussein, he was wrongly suspected of a terrorist attack, was not even charged on september 11, but was tortured more than 80 times one of the most common bullying that hussein endured 83 times water torture, known back in the days of the spanish inquisition, a naked person is tied up and laid on a bunk, his face is covered with a cloth, and then water is poured from above so that the person it seemed that he was sinking and was about to die, in order to disorient the interrogated person, he was beaten with the back of his head against a concrete wall, according to hussein,

one in four americans read a hearse paper on sundays. he also owned 13 mass circulation magazines and a syndication service that sent news and photos and features around the world. and he was a pioneer in new media which new media for the early 20th century, which was newsreels and feature films. right now hurst helped give yellow journalism. its name in the 1890s by using state of the art color presses to print the comic with a popular yellow kid character. his newspapers delivered cartoons eye-popping graphics and sensationalist stories for decades and hearst had a formula he described his ideal newspaper this way. he said you looked at the first page and said, oh gosh and then at the second page and said gee whiz and at the third page and said holy moses. so this obviously worked for him, right? now in addition to hit cursed america's most influential publishers included a trio of cousins. these were all grandchildren of joseph madill who was a founder of the republican party in the 19th century mayor of chicago and owner of the chica

the americans treatment of the civilian population helped create an image of the americans as an undisciplinedrincipled people. this experience by the way also helps explain why the german troops initially saw themselves as liberators, rather than occupiers. they were confused if the people did not treat him accordingly. what became known as the great fire of new york in 1776 after the arrival of the british and hessian troops reinforced the image of the americans as vengeful fanatics. the fire consumed a quarter of the city's buildings. the hessians were convinced it was set by the rebels and they were kind of this event as powerful evidence for the a rational determination to destroy their own country rather than letting it thrive under british rule. the hessian officer was shocked that the, quote, evil and disobedient rebels were deliberately destroying what he described as their blasted land and habitations. another officer wrote, the evil sentiment of destination are indescribable, as he surveyed the destruction of new york. they were destroying the nicest regions in the entire world. ove

and they're also lowering costs for americans. the average american household will save up to $1000 on their energy bills next year. the cost of prescription drugs finally coming down for the first time. medicare is going to be able to negotiate prescription drug prices. and folks on medicare will see their cost of insulin cap starting in january lower out of pocket prescription costs and free vaccines. and we're doing all of this while reducing the deficit by more than $300 billion. how? because every day we get up and suit up and put the people before the powerful and the wealthy and now democrats are going to deliver for our l. g. b. t. q. family and friends. the bottom line is that in a 5050 senate and i think this is actually a story folks, you don't get closer than 5050. and in a 5050 senate we have been tenacious and strategic and dedicated to work with whoever will work with us. whoever will join with us to get things done to improve the lives of the american people all across our country and we are committed to continuing

that affect americans in the 1950s. so in the 1950s few americans remained single and most married young and younger than the people who were marrying in the decades before. by 1959 nearly half of all american brides were under the age of 19. and their husbands were usually only a year or two older and this kind of early marriage like teenage much more common teenage marriage is you think that parents are experts would be upset by this. parents and experts in the 1950s very much approved of these young marriages. less than 10% of americans in the 50s believed that an unmarried person could be happy in life. most newlyweds quickly had babies an average of three and they usually had those babies in their 20s. almost all married couples in the united states regardless of race or class wanted a large family in the 50s. and this is really a shift so in the 40s two children was the ideal for most american families by 1960 most families wanted for and of course this this massive amount of reproduction produced what becomes fam

but also, we americans. and the principle of federalism that the final details of curricula and teaching are set at the local level. given how polarized and angry our politics is today, including about civic education, we very deliberately gathered as a set of seven educators from across the left and center and right of the intellectual and political spectrum. we were to developing a national consensus. this road map of american historical and civic knowledge. and of civic virtues. rather than a partizan educational plan for people in one slice or another of our political. now truth in advertising. i was the intellectual in the group of. oh. as such you can imagine. i was the one who was regularly saying we ought to invoke often the declaration of independence and the constitution and the federalists and the anti-federal. or we ought to invoke hamilton, madison and jefferson and douglass and elizabeth cady stanton, lincoln, martin luther king, other statesmen, stateswoman. our history. you can just how many

conservatism is heard at what if american conservatism is, tracing back to the american founding's, is a synthesis, have individuals liberty and traditional values and what would call traditional values moral order. and because the morgan county took place before the great ruptures of the 19th century before the french revolution in 1789, americans have been able to synthesize these two principles. freedom and virtue, liberty in order. edit this essay called the twisted tree of liberty, separate essay in his best friend, was bozo jr., bill buckley's brother-in-law and another senior editor at national review and it was moving towards very devout traditionalist catholicism at this time he was entered catholicism and became more and more devout as the years went on. he read frank's essay and he said well that's ridiculous. freedom is nothing it a politics. osha try to do frank is some type infusion. the fusionism is one of those words that was an insult millions of being appropriated senate by a target or neoconservatism. >> this is where the debates began really was in the emerging r

we want americans to vote. we want every american's voice to be heard. now we have to move the process forward. we know that more and more ballots are cast in early voting are by mail in americans. we know that many states do not start counting those ballots until after the polls close november 8. that means, in some cases we will not know the winner of the election until a few days after the election. it takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. it is always been important for citizens and a democracy to be informed and engaged. now it is important for a citizen to be patient as well. that is how this is supposed to work. this is also the first election since the events of january 6. . when the armed angry mob storm the u.s capital. i wish i could say the assault on democracy ended that day. i cannot. as i stand here today, there are candidates running for every level of office in america. governor, congress, attorney general, secretary of state who will not commit, who will not commit to accepting the results of the elec

what makes american conservativism distinct is reference to thehe american founding to the american politicalinstitution in american political tradition. which is always made great space with liberty and freedom. recent times the rate today is being drawn to models found in continental europe. rate.is a different it's not an american right. and even though i think the terrain of our politics have shifted from an argument over the size and scope of government to an argument of thehe size in scope of the cultural power and public policy may be leveraged to diminish the less cultural power. if we forget the americanism the american conservativism within the right to will be something very different than it has been for the 100 years i write about. i would also add we will not be able to sustain a political coalition that will attract nonpolitical everyday americans in living their lives who were looking for substantive answers to some of these concrete policy challenges.ut >> had not become a radical institutionalist because that intellect became speaker of the house. i did not put a lot of thou

americans have died from overdose. sec. mayorkas would like you to believe that the people committing these crimes are just in the search of a better life. how many people have not been caught? in 42 days, the united republica haven house to -- republican house takes control. in 42 days we end one party democrat ruled in washington. a new house republican will work to stop joe biden on our laws, borders and border agents. we will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena. let me be clear. those responsible for this disaster will be held accountable. i've spoken today, again, to congressman jim jordan, and jd,, defeat -- jamie carmer. they have my complete support to investigate the collapse of our border and the shutdown of ice enforcement nationwide. undersecretary mayorkas -- under sec. mayorkas, his laws have approved that deadly. fentanyl is slowing -- flowing in record amount. 300 americans will be poisoned and die. tomorrow, 300 more. it's the equivalent of an airline crashing each and every day in amer

released in september 2005 and immediately in the american press. biography of viktor bout. it was a well-organized information attack. silenced specifically. yes, this is a film about victor, note that there is no mention of victor anywhere in the credits. no. for some reason, everyone knows that this is a movie about how to do it? well, it's clear how it's done. well, of course, right after the premiere the film lord of war color came out a book, a merchant of death money guns and planes and a man who makes war. perhaps the really written book by douglas farah is absolutely basic. so on various journalistic gossips like these, uh, american tales. here are these, uh, falsifications of some information of some kind. uh, president george bush jr. didn't stay away from some kind of substrate either. in 2006, he said that the activity seemed to threaten the implementation of foreign policy. usa so a russian citizen was declared an enemy terrorist states of america but why did the americans take up arms against viktor bout, where and when did he cross t

how defining these american what they perceive as american values that are on the decline. so i don't necessarily think it matters too much how the actual soviet threat was to the people making as long as it was being depicted this you could then argue for support of and then pick your. i think it really could h been anything okay interesting she besides the fact i think someone probably had to come up with that name again right there. yeah right. yeah. that's all i need a word for. i need a word for you. help me out here. me out here. who's got it? i'm on godliness, right? and cleanliness sides that i think it's interesting if they the first three conquest depression murder right. we just put that right next to uncle sam punching a guy from the philippines. right? right. like really close together. yeah. again like, this is such an important point that you were all bringing out today, right? that this mere image in the parallelism, if you will, between soviet and what you're seeing in american books and and how this is kind of playing off each other, telling one thing i fo

it is not what the american people want. american people want solutions. it is not just democratic families that are struggling to afford child care and health care. it is not just democratic families who are struggling to afford housing. it is not just democratic women who want freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies. and it is not just democratic families who want clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. so we are going to come together as a caucus. our door is open from any member from across the aisle who wants to get to work for the american people and if they want to divide, if they want to obstruct, if they want to have political theater instead of finding those solutions the american people want, we will be here to oppose. today is the day of transition and hope and renewal of the shared values of our caucus. and i am so pleased for the first time to be able to turn the mic to our caucus chair, pete aguilar. mr. aguilar: thank you so much. do i start to call you madam whip. thank you so much. and you guys know when we say those

movement african-american, obama african-american. regardless of that kind of legal status and the progress that we have made, the fear of black people has created this crisis that we are looking at. it's driven the second amendment so african-americans buying guns when yous begin to think about the terror that has rained down inon this society use all the ue right-wing militia during obama's presidency. you sawe the rise of the white gun ownership during obama's presidency. then we had trump and use all the embrace of white white supremacists. and use all because of the technology, the kind of police violence that rains down on black folks, so you have african-americans doing what they have consistently done which is to say we have to defend ourselves in this society. nobody's coming to help us. >> was this a book you thought you were going to write? is this something you thought about for quite a while? >> no, actually. it was really the killing of phil landro casteel. my body of work deals with human rights and civil rights. when h

in the american revolution taken from the body of an african-american man who gave his life in battle, is now available for others to see. i hope it makes african americans, especially people, feel connect to the american revolution and empowered as i have felt. and i hope that it makes non-african-americans more aware that from the beginning black men fought to make this a free, independent nation, much of this history has been hidden and is only now going into the light. as i said at our recent forum in museum, i'll be virtually the best tool to combat the racism. to combat racism is the persistent light of truth, coercion, princess, powder. there is witness to the truth and brings us unites us as americans. it is a testament to his humanity. who would have thought a powder? could so be so powerfully eloquent. prince through the carvings on sworn speaks us across the centuries. his life still matters and thank you, daddy. my goodness. thank you. at the museum, the american revolution. we like to under-promise and overdo. thank you, denise. just a little computer. mm hmm. i read at t

it is one based on mutual respect for our fellow americans, protecting the right americans who may haveifferent lifestyles or different viewpoints. i am proud of the work we dids with this bill. i'm a looking forward to voting yes on it and i am grateful for the leadership of so many people who were involved. of course senator collins, senator portman, et cetera baldwin and senator sinema but he also had to take the church of saints, the christian colleges and universities that represent a 150 different religious of higher learning. the operations abroad. the national association of evangelicals, and the for public justice and its institutional alliance. in any environment are difficult. i think it's why it's so important to come together, recognize and viewpoints a compromise i believe it's good for all americans. there have some opposition are so many people out there who want this done. madam president thank you and i yield the floyd. >> madam president. >> thank you madam president. i rise today is our country takes an important step forward for the rights and freedoms of all americ

making americans more empathetic with victims of fascism. by 1939-1940, radio is a medium that promotes interventionism but that's not true in the mid-1930s. >> thank you. sorry for my english because it is not my first language. i want to know, you go to your book, do you want to make a warning about criticism about social media for citizens, us citizens? >> i think that came later. the book out of the archives emerged and i wrote a book on american conspiracy theories from world war i to 9/11 one of the chapters is on pearl harbor. i spent a lot of time chasing documents and archives all over the country, how the pearl harbor conspiracy theory emerged. i discovered to my surprise that it was a right wing theory when it started out, very anti-roosevelt in that it was promoted by the chicago tribune so i started reading more mccormick editorials, this is really out there. then i started getting interested in cousin joe patterson. and a few years ago they showed up in databases. makes it easier for historians, started to think about that. wha

there is resistance within the american people towards an expansion of the war to involve americans in combat. i think within europe there is also resistance with great britain they, they have a tiny army, so the direct involvement is not as significant. but i think it is. it is hard to say where it will go because i take your crane has they have suffered tremendous casualties. russia has also suffered tremendous casualties, but it's more difficult, i think, for ukraine to replace those casualties. in any event there's, there is at least resistance among the american people, and we were just sharp to say, like, i can't tell you for sure. we're, well, you know, as i mentioned in my introduction, the americans usually don't have any problem starting wars, but not very good at ending them. and i've heard a number of thinkers compare the current situation in ukraine to afghanistan to reach the united states. invaded for a number of geopolitical and your strategic reasons, but still couldn't band reality to its wishes and had to withdraw in a very some would argue the graceful manner last y

this is a book about finance in the age of the american founding, not just the american revolution but the decades there after between the revolution and the war of 1812, especially, while the united states has declared its independence but were still figuring about what it's about, and it's about how money fits into that story. right now, a piece of this most famous is money about alexander hamilton, and hamilton is involved in insurance and that's not usually what people talk about when they talk about hamilton, but this is a big business in the age of the american founding. this book is how the powerful, old international business, and this book is specifically about the insurance of commercial shipping and ships. how this business comes to terms with a fragile new republic and insurance is a story of taking risks, and one risk is the risk of the united states itself, and it's a story about how political risk taking is intertwined. i will talk about half an hour and then take your questions. i am happy to go with any direction you want. i am happy to go with the money people or the

the american people agree. 70% of americans including majority of democrats, republicans and unaffiliated people support marriage equality. yesterday we introduced a bipartisan amendment to clarify what the bill does and what it does not do. we've made it clear the legislation leaves intact religious liberties afforded of the constitution and not take away or alter religious liberty or conscious protection. we are confident the amendment help turn broad bipartisan support needed to pass common sense legislation into law and protect millions of americans a day and interracial marriages. i am thrilled to move legislation forward and past marriage equality into law and i appreciate hard-working bipartisan group of senators who have put in a lot of effort to get us here. >> thank you senator baldwin. >> [inaudible question] >> when we try to us time, there weren't enough republican votes. i'm working with senator mansions to see what we can get the. next. >> [inaudible question] >> is president biden decides to run, i will enthusiastically support him. >> i'd like to directly support senator
