including the society for the history of american early american republic. and i've, you know, perhaps. perhaps can use this moment as a kind of invitation to my colleagues more broadly in these fields try to think about rewriting the revolutionary era to emphasize more essentially the growing unification of the divergent concerns english crown across colonial regions and include these interior anti-indigenous behaviors, practices and ideologies i think the declaration actually provides a road map for seeking to understand the oppositional and revolutionary formation of savages versus frontier communities. and it's really interesting because. the frontier, as many of us may know, most kind of celebrated paradigm of american historical development, significance of the frontier, the essay by frederick jackson turner and 1890, delivered at the american staff association of 1892 and published shortly thereafter, is the most famous not just in american history, but scholars consider it the most famous essay ever written that identifies the kind of generative kind

these are not americans. even then we provide all of these protections, you have reporting back to congress, you have oversight by a court. there are a lot of protections in place even for foreign individuals located overseas. for americans, regardless of where you are, section 702 and the law and the statutes we have in place require you to go to a federal judge and get that court order or warrant. that is the law today. i understand the skepticism and the desire to protect privacy and liberties, that is what these laws are designed to do, this is a loss not about americans but foreigners overseas. >> what do you think about the patriot act? >> it had a lot of that were important. a lot of the provisions were important to help protect the nation. i will say this, for the last 20 plus years we have been protecting this nation from a mass casualty terror attack in part because of the laws we made the change in the operation and this collaboration between intelligence officials and criminal officials to better

now, most american. came into the nations possession by wars or purchases the revolutionary war, as you see here on this slide, produced most the territory east of the mississippi river. the louisiana purchase in 1803 brought most of the lands between the mississippi river and rocky mountains into the nation and then war with mexico. in 1846 to 1848. in incorporated american southwest and then in 1867 the united states purchased alaska from russia. and so see, with each of those territorial acquisitions, they are functions of war and or purchase. the terra that that becomes the pacific northwest however was appended to the nation in a somewhat unusual faction not war or not purchase rather the pacific northwest, the oregon country went through a phase which the two primary claimants to the region that's the united states and great britain agreed to share it for an indefinite time. this is the so-called joint occupation i referred to earlier the the convention of 1818 was an agreement between great britai

workers, american businesses, american investors. when we team up with other countries to hold accountable and deter governments that arbitrarily detain foreign nationals, we can apply more effective pressure to bring our fellow citizens home, and we make people in all nations less vulnerable. fourth, in the conflict between israel and hamas, we will continue to focus intensely on our full priorities. helping israel ensure that what happened on october 7th can never happen again, bringing the conflict to an end as a quickly as possible while minimizing the loss of life and suffering of civilians, getting the remaining hostages back home to their families, preventing the conflict from spreading and, once and for all, breaking the devastating cycle of violence and moving toward durable, lasting peace. we continue to believe that israel does not have to choose between removing the threat of a hamas and minimizing the toll on civilians in gaza. it has an obligation to do both, and it has a strategic interest to do both. we're more determ

the american congress had a meeting to examine the issue of anti-semitism in american universities, and the presidents of three prominent universities, harvard , pennsylvania, and emmitt attended that meeting. and answering the questions of representatives. however, a part of this question and answer session, which we saw in this report, became very controversial. republican representative he put a lot of pressure on the presidents of these three universities to condemn that request for the genocide of the jews. however, now i need to explain this issue of the genocide of the jews, which is said to be the same slogan for the freedom of palestine from the sea to the river as in some of these articles. that is, those members of the congress believe that the slogan of palestine's freedom from the sea to the nine means the genocide of the jews and the request for the genocide of the jews . twitter itself had this part of this slogan he had brought and reached the point where the congress drew a resolution condemning him and had many widespread criticisms. it's just that after this meeting y

as americans.s the archivist of the united states i am fitted to ensure that the national archives remains a trusted resource for all americans. regardless of creed, belief, or opinion. -- now it's my pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker, who knows what a naturalization ceremony means firsthand. melania trump is our only first lady in american history who was also a naturalized citizen -- is also a citizen. born and slowly -- -- is also a naturalized citizen. born in slovenia, she emigrated to the u.s. and into 1006 joined us as a fellow american. as first lady, she was a strong advocate for our nation's youth bureau that i had the privilege of working alongside her on several initiatives including the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment. this amendment of course removed voting restrictions for women based upon their sex. she eagerly supported the work we did on the federal commission to celebrate that centennial. when i became the chair of the foundation to build a federal memorial t

this american action has no diplomatic meaning. with this action, america's unconditional support for the israeli genocide and crimes in gaza was revealed once again. annual conference relations between iran and latin america will be held in venezuela next year. mojtaba shahsuni, radio and television news agency. you the viewer you are the world today . i will continue the conversation with ms. romina ramos, the ambassador of the multinational government of bolivia in tehran. ms. ramos, we know that the relations between iran and latin america are 120 years old. it was created after the islamic revolution of iran, i.e. the revolution of 1979. islamic revolution, friendship agreements in 1902 and 1903 between iran and the important countries of the brazilian region argentina, mexico, uruguay was formed at the beginning of the last century, the 20th century, these agreements were signed between 1902 and 1903. the first was the departure of the shah from iran, and the second was iran's constitutionalism, which led to a civil war, and

to the positions of the american government. one of the reactions that was made today to this veto of the resolution by the united states was by the spokesperson of the ministry of foreign affairs that mr. kanani said that the united states stands alone against the demand of the international community for a ceasefire in gaza. the gaza ceasefire resolution said the un security council failed to fulfill its duty to maintain peace and prevent war crimes. the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs stated that the killing machine of the zionist regime in the last 67 days is about 18 a thousand people were martyred, america added by vetoing the ceasefire resolution. in gaza , he voted to continue the brutality and barbarism of the zionists against the palestinian people. unfortunately , we were subjected to this barbaric attack by the zionist regime against gaza. the american government has once again shown its full standing with the zionist regime and its full participation in this crime. we continue the conversation with mr.

they have nothing to show the american people. that they have accomplished on behalf of the american people. zero. don't take my word for it, just ask chip roy who made it explicitly clear that the house republican majority has done nothing to meet the needs of the american people. instead they continue to focus on undermining the health safety and economic well-being of the american people. what's the latest example? this week they've been directed to prepare to repeal the affordable care act. in other words they want to take away house republicans directed to prepare to take away health care from more than 100 million americans who are suffering with pre-existing conditions. house republicans are going to spend today and tomorrow continuing their phony investigation of president biden's family and will try to impeach secretary mayorkas at the direction of one of the ringleaders of the extreme maga republican circus in the house marjorie taylor greene. these are unserious individuals doing -- during very serious times and it's hu

is it forrest or alien to american? see you. it's always highly problematic for an army to fight and wouldn't during glenn. so can the publish a scan it? i was just punched and i thought it was my tongue. kings can't just drive through forests and over large trees of lima, font size, but most of the places 1st you have to cut half hour through them, then it's on as much nice and bone. the ground was also littered with land mines, and the americans ran into a chain of bunkers in the forest. this was where the germans had dug themselves and the americans were able to destroy some of the bunkers. but after 10 days, the losses on both sides were so great that the fighting died down for a while. the shortly afterwards american forces further north achieved a decisive breakthrough taking on on october 21st after a fierce fighting. it was the 1st german city to fall into allied hands. but this was a little help to the american soldiers in the nearby grove to get advice. as the autumn rains began, the weather was worsening from one day

for the issue of american human rights, the western and american liberal order has come into existence so they can correct it a little. however, even now their argument is this , that is, the americans say that we vetoed the resolution so that we can restrain israel from killing more people in the gaza strip, but this is a it is justified, it means that the world public opinion is seeing the amount of killings and the type of reaction of america , definitely if the international pressure increases , this wave towards israeli goods. this wave of anti-israel movements in the international environment is forming, if it increases, the set of developments that are happening in latin america is really impressive . the type of positions of the countries of latin america, while israel has been there for a long time. it has influence, but because of the leftist ideas , there are actually revolutionary presidents there, their type of positions. the israelis were greatly surprised that bolivia cut off diplomatic relations with the regime. yes , many other countries have similar positions. even th

the americans hopes for a quick victory were stating. busy the they had already spent 2 months in the hook invite. the forest they had hoped to cross in just a few days. the in mid november 1944, the americans launched a 3rd offense. at this time, they tried to advance by going further north, passing through the villages of klein, how and wholesale, and then heading east. during the fighting a 22 year old telling an american from pennsylvania arrived in the hills combined in his youth, he had hoped to become a photographer. we were there, i would say a month, a month, and it wore a sort of a long time. the german artillery lessons in just the never stopped that really bombed us through charge of these days followed the same pattern is again with heavy artillery fire from the americans done on on site. because then the tanks were deployed sherman tanks, which advanced on a broad front line to phones. and john, and then of course you could hear the shelves and machine guns the show. so that was the actual moment. you realized there were ot

three famous american news magazines, time, newsweek , american news and world report are also in the hands of jews and their copies are distributed all over the world. in the field of publishing. three of the six largest book publishers in the united states are jewish-owned. random house, simon & schuster and time warner. also, the academic publications of this country are also in the hands of the zionists. the largest publisher of children's books is western publishing, whose chief executive officer is richard snyder. in this market, books that have something to say outside the circle of american jews have a different situation. american journalist grace halsell says: it is almost impossible and very difficult for a writer to get published find someone important to publish an anti-zionist book. zionist spokesperson tazipour manakh said to the americans: you know very well and the american people know very well that we control their government. you see and i know that no president in america can challenge our position. what can the americans do to us? we control congress. we control

it is unacceptable, it is un-american, it is unconscionable that everyday americans continue to begunked down by individuals as was the case in las vegas yesterday. we should not have access to weapons of war. they are not used to hunt deer, they are used to hunt human beings. young people and far too often children. it's time for the extreme maga republicans to partner with democrats on commonsense gun safety legislation to improve the security, the safety, and the well-being of the american people. as opposed to being active obstructionists in preventing the congress from doing commonsense things like universal criminal background checks to protect the safety of the american people. questions? reporter: thank you. would you agree with president biden's position you would be willing to accept changes to the immigration process in exchange for aid to ukraine? mr. jeffries: we've expressed an interest in making sure we find a bipartisan, comprehensive path forward to sensible immigration reform that is consistent with american values anchored in two principles. first, that we are a nation

see americans left behind, lots of canned food. these are going to be doors can corn beef was one of the main meters from south on duty. there were also soups and other kinds of meat discover, ongoing firefox and have it is a of this as a wholesome park morning. but these tunes of corned beef ones were big enough to make a huge pot of soup for a large family because to 0 puts it on as hard as both sides. so temporarily they helped us to get more or less enough to eat unless they've always fashioned and have them come. in the 1st summer after the war, large parts of the woods then had survived the fighting would suddenly catch fire. during the fighting, the americans had used phosphorus and their ammunition which ignited very easily in the heat. it's going by it, i say it's a nice content on fluid exchange. last to them then it's intakes 5 and these are light. the fluid is via phone. in the bathroom good and folder invites on the bottom, conan on a folder that's going to leave of even know how much stuff that i don't need to have bo

context, whether it be the american president or others, and there were visits paid by the american officials to say to all the sides, do not provide any support or any assistance to the palestinian people, and you must calm down until the israelis complete their criminal project and their brutal, destructive operations and criminal operations, as much as... they want even at this human support level, and even when it comes to allowing food and medicine to enter and to send the palestinian people in the gaza strip, in the north and the south of the strip, nothing is coming in except after american and israeli approval, and it is very, very limited, which does not meet the needs in any way whatsoever, the needs of the people of god. "it does not meet their hunger needs, nor does it provide the minimum of what they need regarding food and medicine, and the americans also threatened all the countries of the region not to intervene in providing any support or assistance or in any efforts to put an end to the israeli aggression on the gaza strip, and so the american role, the americans w

the americans began the spanish-american war very prudently. easiest to finish off. and the famous story when hearst, owner of the largest publishing house told his correspondent, send me photographs, and i will make a war. and the provocation, the explosion on the battleship, men, hence the american slogan. remembering mena, who became the reason for the start of the war with spain, this munroe doctrine was a political expression of the essence of the then american capitalism, as slave capitalism, plantation capitalism and capitalism, essentially aimed at extensive expansion. on august 12, 1898, the united states gained sovereignty over the hawaiian islands. completing their annexation. only after europe became overextended in the first world war , to put it mildly, did the americans come to europe, and the stage of exploiting the weakest point in europe began, it was germany, and from there there is a direct road to the marshall plan, you know, and already. marshal, a direct road to today's vassalage of europe, which has completed its long jo

society to the colonel. to the american, american man in the street, the middle class itself, they wereies like that interesting things, but what we see , what is happening now, this, in principle , has never happened in the history of america, it never happened, well, it just never happened, that is , such a violation of the constitution, basic ideas that never happened before the civil the war, even even after the civil war, when you remember they threw off this unfortunate man, that is, they were even there. even before that, and even further, the united states is doomed to a civil war, what are you talking about, the united states will not fight until then, in my opinion, until then, until the americans for the most part are convinced that they have no chance to improve their situation by re-electing some other person, they already understand this, there the attitude towards elections has completely disappeared, so i think that now in twenty what to choose, what will they do next year elections, you can still elect, you can elect trump, in the middle east they are generally wiping t

she said that south american resources are our resources.rican countries are under enormous pressure when they seek to pursue independent policies, for example, within the framework of brix, cooperating with the chinese. monroe is alive, then- secretary of state rex tiller said in 2018, calling her an important element of foreign policy. when united the states proclaimed the doctrine, they sought to create their own sphere of influence in the western hemisphere, but at that moment they did not have the strength to put this into practice. they rather imitated british policy. the maximum they were able to do was the caribbean, and when the forces appeared to implement the monroe doctrine, the united states turned into a global power, so now they apply its principles on a global scale, so you need to be on your guard in eurasia. regarding the us presence in the caribbean in central america, the monroe doctrine is in effect, but there are rising regional powers, such as brazil, whose role is growing, venezuela is another example, and these count

he is a very epitome of the american establishment. did not fight in the american revolution they fought in king philip's war. he graduated from exclusive and over prep school from yale where he was skull and bones from harvard law school. in 1897 his partner in the firm of another prominent secretary of state's. in 1910 he runs unsuccessfully for governor of new york as a republican candidate. he is also president task secretary of war in 1970 he joined the army fighting as a colonel and world war i he commands an army battalion in france.is in 19208 is governor general of the philippines in september 1931 is a personal friend of the japanese foreign minister. so at first as with the powers of the league of nations he is confident that japanese civilian government can follow what he terms an army mutiny. beside tooth at the japanese had a legitimate grievances about china. he thought the chinese had not been terribly responsible in some of their actions. and on september 27, he wrote this in his diary which is at yale university. i wa

, you think like americans exactly, americans they never think in such a short movement, there is alwayss is a corporate structure of thinking, so when you say a phrase, what does shifting mean? that the created army, not for iraq, for afghanistan, that the created army of afghanistan, for iraq, that the created army of iraq, that they have structures, they have basic support points, but here there is none of this, in europe they should take it and destroy everything with their own hands, therefore, we must continue to leave afghanistan, in this way, as what will remain there, what everything will happen. three chinese gadgets will have to be, this is impossible, which means the only option for the americans is to grab markets somewhere, and the only place where this can be done is southeast asia, they started this program, and from here bases in the philippines, bases in papuwai guinea, a new defense agreement with indonesia, and, accordingly, active support for various kinds of separatism. yes, by the way, burma is the colonialists, and usually the colonialists call our mnyanmu, nashim

, the americans themselves. for the sake of israeli enemy, they are doing this as an active service for the israelis, responding to a clear open request from the israelis, the israelis made this request, and those who are taking action with the americans and are getting themselves involved with the americans in protecting the israeli ships and the ships that are connected to the israeli enemy, they are doing this, and at the same time they know and they are aware, completely aware that they are doing an active service for israel only, and not an active service for international maritime movement, rather this harms the international maritime movement, and so all countries of the world must criticize the americans and criticize those that are joining with the americans, the distant countries and foreign countries that are coming in order to get involved in the red sea and threaten the international maritime movement in the red sea and militarize the red sea and transform the atmosphere there into a military. atmos

acres and mule, that's right, 40 acres and mule after 246 years of slavery, that is what african-americans who had been enslaved, were promised by the us government, well that was back in 1865, and although that was no real compensation for two and a half centuries of slavery, even that promise was not kept towards black americans, it became symbolic of all the other promises, laws, programs that were supposed to bring about more economic parity with whites for black americans, but never took place. hello, and welcome to hidden files. i'm marsia hashimi. today we're going to take you a journey that started centuries ago on the african continent, and yet still has proportional consequences on millions of african-americans today. estimates vary from 6 trillion to 60 trillion dollars, the value of those uh 40 acres and a muled today, well the wealth never paid to the former slaves nor their descendants, the generational wealth that was never passed down, that opportunity, like so many others that was never provided to blacks, while endless opportunities, grants, raises, stipens, etc. were giv

in fact, the lobbyist pressure on the american government is stronger than the american public opinion, which actually shows that the americans and even the westerners are against the so-called issue of democracy that has been raised. they are behaving and contrary to their own people , they are supporting the crimes of the so-called zionist regime. thank you, mr. shahsabani . you have a new point. the attack of the zionists on maamdani and rangtisi hospitals has had a lot of reaction. attack five palestinians were martyred in the zionist attack on mamdani hospital. arab analyst mr. hamzah al-bashtawi said that after the failure of the zionists' claim regarding the presence of resistance forces in the patient. they have failed in this fake story they are forced to attack the south of the gaza strip and they claim that the resistance commanders are in the south of gaza and that is why they have to attack this area . this is exactly the point where we want to go to lebanon to talk with our reporter, mr. hassan azimzadeh, to see what the situation is like in the north of the occupied terr

but what's the american voters worry about? who will they pick in an election that has global implications? we'll be discussing this on more with our guests in a moment. but 1st car leg takes a look at how things are playing out so far in the battle for the white house. with less than a year to go the races on for america's tough job. on the 2020 for us presidential election promises to be like no other before leaving the field of republican candidates for the president, donald trump, he's facing federal and state criminal charges relating to his 2020 election law the the incumbent, joe biden, is the presumptive democratic nominee already the oldest president in american history seeking another time. the gloves were ready off with trump taking a mate fight and after rally in colorado. shortly after a court bought him from appearing on the states pallets. joe bike is a threat to democracy, to threat fight in his head, back tending voters is presence. that's a good bach and no bite. trump just talks to talk. we walk when the late

it's an american issue.r the mccain institute and library because they are a home of a proud republican who put his country first. our commitment should be no less because democracy should unite all americans, regardless of political affiliation. and there is something dangerous happening in america now. there is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy, the maga movement. not every republican, not even a majority of republicans, adhere to the maga extremist ideology. i know because i've been able to work with republicans my whole career. but there is no question that today's republican party is driven and intimidated by maga republican extremists. their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of american democracy as we know it. my friends, they're not hiding their attacks. they're openly promoting them -- attacking the free press as the enemy of the people, attacking the rule of law as an impediment, fomenting voter suppression and elec

but i think that the american people to pick it back off of what see said, you know, the american people gives these politicians a pass. and as we know, the politicians are in units. and when it comes to our military space, or the republican or democratic republicans, or a democrat, which is why $800.00 an 8 plus $800.00 plus $1000000000.00 budget. that the pin that the d o. d has 800000000000 and no one is saying, well wait a minute, maybe we should pull back on some of our military spending as we continue to see over and over again. the calls for more money, more money. but nobody just asked for a 100 and what, 16 years, so $1000000000.00. he's probably going to get a good portion of band. well, how much of that military stuff is missing because even to account for what we've given them? yes. is this why we're seeing such a hesitation by send or type of bill out of alabama to actually approve some of the military sort of to say we need some accountability not only in the leadership ranks, but also in the spending. steve, are you saying it is the more tit for tat with him? you know, he'

as alleged in the indictment, the defendants objected, beat and threatened to kill an american.hey even conducted a mock execution. these charges send a clear message, the criminal division will pursue those who commit war crimes and other atrocities in ukraine. we are committed to bringing war criminals to justice, no matter where they are located, for brutal acts committed against americans. last year attorney general garland announced the launch of the war crimes accountable to the team led by prosecutors from the criminal divisions of human rights and special persecution section to strengthen the department" response to the atrocities being committed in ukraine, and to hold accountable perpetrators of war crimes in ukraine food the charges were brought as part of the critical mandate. those who would act with impunity should think twice. when we identify perpetrators of war crimes and the evidence supports charges, the criminal division will take action. this case is the result of the strong collaboration between our war crimes accountability team, the u.s. attorney's office

netanyahu got up , went to the american congress and consulted with the members of the american congressinst mr. obama's administration. it was a strange thing that a political leader of another country stood up and went to the us congress and campaigned against the us president, lobbying and consulting about what happened to mr. neta. yahoo and the right-wing government the creation of extreme right-wing parties in israel in the last decade is to reduce the relationship between israel and america, which was a trans-criminal relationship, to a factional relationship between the far -right wing of the republican party and the far-right wing of israeli society, and doing this will cause the traditional part of the democrats in america is upset because traditionally, these same democrats happen to have stronger relations. and they have a stronger lobby and actually more aid to the israelis throughout the history of this zionist regime, so what is happening now, as well as mr. bill clinton. according to mr. netanyahu, he knows that if the war ends, there will be a massive investigation again

american experts.y believe that rafi eitan is one of the gems whose follow-up could be half to clarify the hidden file of nomek facilities, but there was no will to do this in america. 21 years later, american analyst anthony gordsman revealed in an interview with united inquiry international that there was no logical reason for rafi ethan's visit to the nomek facility except for the receipt of nomek company's nuclear materials in 1996 due to the destructive effects on the environment and the death of 600. more than 3,000 americans were blamed for the death and illness. many experts believe that the nomek factory was set up with the aim of supplying the raw materials necessary for the production of nuclear weapons and their transfer to the occupied territories. became. the robbery of the factory took place after the assassination of john f. kennedy in the early days of lyndon johnson's administration. with the passage of time, the classified documents and information are removed from the confidentialit

american politicians? i think the way i thought before and the way i'm hearing from our friends in the congress, the senate or the house of representatives, the majority of the votes want this package to pass, it's just that some politicians have given them an opportunity to include another matter altogether in these negotiations, it brought the whole procedure to a standstill. which began as early as august, in august, the president first made such a request to congress, and we had debates in september, further in october, and then really, when november came, people realized that probably congress would be closed altogether , we survived, and we extended our budget, here at the very end of the year... when people in washington want to leave already, they want to leave by the 15th to be home for the christmas holidays, and some politicians were meeting, and they , they see an opportunity to change the bill to the way they want it to be on the american border issue, i don't think we'll get to the end of the

i interviewed her last year, a chinese-american, now an american investor to belize.what was a like for you as the child of immigrants? we are trying to give the chinese people who don't get any sense, they get a distorted sense from their own government about who we are. a true picture of american society come of the immigrant experience, the diversity of america come of the struggle. we don't try to underplay the imperfections in our democracy. i think we are waging a battle of ideas. i challenge the critics to show us how we are not doing that because it's very public. >> i'd like to turn to the war in israel and gaza. beijing has taken a different approach than the united states and responding to the hamas october 7 attack on israel. yet both united states and china share a common interest in preventing the spread of conflict in both countries are concerned, along with many others come on the severe humanitarian toll the conflict has had. i'm curious if you see room for coordination between washington and beijing on this issue. has there been coordination and what

about how impactful this is, and also the american frustration ever since the beginning, and the american measure is nothing new, ever since day one, they moved their aircraft carriers and their naval ships and they use all of their capabilities, however now they are trying to get others involved as well and to further escalate. if the americans have a certain approach, if they want escalate more... get themselves more involved, if they want to carry out any act of stupidity by targeting our country and by launching war against our country, we will not stand with our arms crossed, we will target them, we will make the american naval ships and the american interests and also the american maritime movement, we will make this all, we will make them all a target of our drones and our missiles and their military operations, we are... not a kind of people who stands and watches as the enemy strikes, we are an enemy, we should not stand, we rely on god, we cannot be afraid from the american threats and even if the americans want to launch a direct war, get involved in a direct war and a direct a

that was more in the vein of quiet or the ugly american. both of them, both books had great influence without away any spoilers. what's book's synopsis? two employees in saigon in 1967 at the height of the war are called to the investigate the murder of an american tourist named grace waverly, who whose body is found in the saigon river. and it appears to be a drowning. and she is an anti-war activist who said she came to vietnam as a peace tourist. but her real goal is to help smuggle arms back to her associates, the united states and the mps gradually realize that her death is part of a bigger conspiracy. and they try to avert a disaster. who's been kincaid? kincaid, the lead mp and his partner is elijah jackson and normally they are charged with enforcing and keeping guys on straight and narrow and out of the bars after curfew. but they get pulled in because the national police don't want to investigate this particular because it involves an american. oddly enough, at the height of the war there were 20,000 american tourists who visited

and arab americans, muslim americans safe in their, and their communities? i know that there is just growing anxiety and fear about basic safety and security. i'm wondering if you could just give us a few more details about what what the department can do and is doing. >> we're using the law, the tools that congress gave us laws like the matthew shepard and james bird hate crimes prevention act to hold perpetrators accountable. we realize we can't prosecute our way out of the crisis. and so we've also worked to institute programs like united against hate where every single us attorney's office across the country, all 94 have instituted programs bringing together local , state, federal law enforcement, community groups and faith leaders to ensure that folks know how to investigate and report hate incidents and hate crimes. this is an all hands on deck moment. we stand for and behind all communities are being attacked by hate. >> what measures are being taken -- another topic -- what measures are being taken to combat discriminatory practices in gender care? >

and indeed, in recent polls, astonishing to me, unlike jordy of young americans, generations, the americans say it would be a tax on october 7th, the terrorist attacks were actually justified. so those are the 2 ways that israel is not safer. but see, i want to be very clear. you have a lot of people that are saying israel is facing an ex essential threat. and that's not true either. israel is in the strongest military position of any country in the region. a significant nuclear force enormously well trained and technologically advanced, military border and surveillance capabilities. far more capacity to outdone, andrew iron don't to defend against missile attack in israel that anybody else in the region. and it is true that october 7th showed the weaknesses of those defenses, especially if a government took his eye off the ball as not yahoo did. but i've had so many lectures about how israel is the best place to invest long term in the middle east . for pension funds and institutional investors and then the next hour, those same leaders say israel faces an extra special threat. both of tho

something like 89 percent of americans disapprove consistently. 80 to 90 percent of americans consistently disapprove of congress. they didn't test the. we're talking about all americans, old, young or whatever. and yet listen of is 80 to 90 percent of the people in congress keep their jobs for decades. many of them run on a pose and many of them freaking die in office in their ninety's. how can those 2 things be and what the hell does it say about democracy or lack thereof? because what we, we don't have one person one vote that matters in america. now what we are finding is the elite benefactors that are padding those campaign coffers. those are the individuals that the representatives are representing in the interest that they're speaking to. so joe biden can come out and tell you, oh, i want to be the greatest labor president ever. and then when it comes to the railroad worker strikes the sides with the railway company. was it just remember this about job? i jo delaware to the delaware is delaware, is the place is the corporate uh, corporate america incorporates the whole of corporate

well, i would rather talk about whether the american economy and the american external politics americancal resources, will they withstand what the biden administration has set its sights on in the long term, because if we look at the american strategic documents and the national security strategy, and most of the pentagon documents that were adopted already under the biden administration, they are focused on long-term systemic, so-called dual containment of russia and china. previously, the tradition of american foreign policy thought, since the time of henry kissinger, it was believed that it was impossible to build confrontational relations with two leading global powers at the same time. russia has become enemy number one for the united states, now, but, but actually in the long term, enemy number one is china. because china has comparable economic power, china has growing military power and a growing military. i propose , let’s say, a little from the globe to return here to minsk, relations between minsk and washington have been in a very, let’s say, difficult state for many years,

but when americans are down on their luck. when they are sick, when they are hungry, when they are suffering we have got nothing for them. the door is slammed shut. mitch mcconnell was asked that month by a reporter who is saying republicans are supposed to be concerned about debt. we are getting a $33 trillion dollar debt to our kids. they said, why are you adding to the annual deficit? mitch mcconnell said, don't worry, because that money is not really going to ukraine. the money is going to u.s. military contractors, general dynamics, northrop grumman, boeing and lockheed. he admitted on national television that it is all just a money laundering scheme. during the republican debate, the last one, not this one, the fox announcer asked the same thing can we afford to go into all this debt in ukraine? they were all saying, with the exception of vivek, god bless him, who says we shouldn't be there. all of the other ones were saying yeah, we will put more in if i get elected. we will go to war with mexico and china. on the envir

the americans immediately impose sanctions against chinese sovereign debt, against chinese investments you are completely crazy, immediately all the political bookmarks are shot, everything that is, all the information on the american political elite, the dollar is simply destroyed. yes, but just after that a nuclear war appears, because everything has to be written off, why, everything has already been written off, everything has already fallen, everything has already disappeared, why, is there always a need for nuclear war, the americans always need it, they have it in their concept, this is the only time they win, this is not, this is the only country whose doctrine prescribes a preventive strike with nuclear weapons, so i would not write off their level of insanity, alexandrevich. you know, i just remembered the unforgettable son of lieutenant schmit, who drank like everyone else, but did not get involved in boge’s discussion, he didn’t want to get involved in this controversial matter, but i’ll have to get involved, i’m not the son of lieutenant schmit, but i’ll have to get involv

henry flipper, the first african american graduate from west point. he was very proud of that uniform. he's very, you know, dapper young man from georgia. and he is going to write in 18 after you graduates. he writes an autobiography i think he's like 23 or something or 22. but he lived enough to write a very thick autobiography. i you know, i read it, of course. it's very it's a wonderful resource but it's very interesting. you think about the mentality of this person. you're like, wow, you wrote a autobiography that a bestseller by the way. and he is going to outline, unfortunately, in his autobiography, his politics and he's going to criticize james webster smith, the same james webster smith that had to go through two separate court martials after first year and one in which the president, the united states, had to intervene because they were trying to push him out for, literally just existing and flipper criticizes smith. he criticizes smith for communicating with the press. he criticizes smith in regards to after he gets kicked out the column th
