who is an american? how do we sort of coexist in this post war period where the people from that community are by and large marginalized, yet you have this whole kind of other thing happening where it's -- the war has been won, this is like new things, television is happening, advertising, this whole advertising thing is happening. so you have these marginalized peoples and what happens, is it possible to develop a kind of at that moment a cross-cultural community? is it possible to have kind of a multi cultural community that emerged from that moment? and so, in particular, that's what i wanted to explore. and part of the back drop is there was this extraordinary jazz scene happening in that area. there's this wonderful book called fillmore harlem west and also there's several other books that are about that particular era. but that's all happening too, people like billie holiday, count basie, duke ellington, they were all playing in the fillmore district, bop city, plantation club, jack's tavern. that'

i've never talked to an american diplomat, especially a former american diplomat, who thought it did. one of them, away david miller, who is one of the people we dealt with and has been involved for difficult candidate, described the united states as acting as israel's lawyer. he was in fact quoting henry kissinger, who should know. the documentary record i cite in this book shows that american diplomats time and again took positions as a result of careful prior coordination with the israeli side. how you get to a solution in that situation is hard for know understand. as i've said, sometimes these positions were more proisraeli than those of israeli diplomats. thes. from okay. david onwards the united states posed as an unbiased intermediary but generally operated in israelis interests and to desystemic detriment of the palestinians and in my view, systemic detriments to the possibility of just and lasting peace in the region. in, let me say that a number of broad patterns contributed to this skewed american poise. palestinian weakness i have not talked about. i wrote a whole book ab

jobs or american worker jobs? >> perhaps arturo has a comment and i know time is running out but i will state this issue has been studied and looked at exhaustively. senator feinstein has been personally involved in a number of efforts out there to really demonstrate, are we replacing u.s. jobs here? do we really do do this but we are just not paying enough for something is wrong so therefore we are turning away these workers. time and time again study after study several cited in my written testimony that is not the case. they will not do this work and without this workforce in food production will -- in crops will be left to unharvested in the u.s., period. >> thank you. >> thank you mr. chairman. i will note at the outset that i regret i'm not able to be here at the hearing on friday. i join my colleague senator cornyn down in west texas visiting with the victims of that horrific accident and i want to thank my colleagues and the millions of americans who lifted up the citizens of west who have been suffering t

who are italian and proudly american.e biggest dangers we're facing right now is this reductionist narrative. where people are trying to kind of be reduced to the sum of the labels that we sling around their neck. to just muslim or just chechnyian or pakistani or sikh. i think actually this dehumanizing narrative is in the heart of fundamentalism. what my character does in this film is he's trying to reject fundamentalism in all its forms, which simplifies us from complicated human beings to very characterized you know, people. >> as far as the different tweens british and american society. because britain has seen their share of terrorist attacks, you've said from across the pond, you look to america as an example of how to better absorb multiple ethnicities and folks with different backgrounds and heritages. but one of the things that the boston bombing does is to call into question how effective we have been in terms of helping people make a home for themselves here. what have we done, what have we done differently, ha

american community. i know it is hard for us to appreciate this today but at that time, chinese-american organizations were subjected to surveillance and harassment of the federal government, by the fbi as well elements of the chinese american community. laura has been and was a heroine in furthering these causes in the fight. ever since those days she has continued to engage in progressive causes and community service. she has been involved in significant groundbreaking research into chinese-american history. as an aside, she supported her late husband mark li, after whom the chinatown branch library is named. laura's name also adorns the heart of research and learning. i wonder -- i want to thank laura for generously donating time money and materials, to the chinese historical society, seven cisco public library, and so many other organizations. i happen to hold in my hands a chapter of an anthology called chinese-american history and perspective called born lucky. we are lucky to have benefit from you

the american victory was total the casualty figures speak for themselves one hundred american soldiers were killed and on the iraqi side it's estimated there were between four and five thousand victims most of them civilians. the battle left a city in ruins where death continue to take its toll. and their offensive it's thought the u.s. troops used white phosphorous bombs and depleted uranium weapons banned by all international conventions. so i want a new passenger is not administrator at the general hospital. since the battle of fallujah ended has kept records of the children born with congenital malformation. for him there's no doubt the americans were responsible for this tragedy. and. for me the administrator's office becomes an empty chamber of horrors. now but i learnt that their war is far from over in fact it's still going on for the stigmata rivera and their evolving in two thousand and five we noted the spectacular increase in genetic malformations a new born babies how a lot of. voters only show a tiny part of their reality just for the month of january we recorded forty th

support of continuing occupation implicit in effect the united states is supporting it and american support of continued settlement expansion that makes a two state solution impossible. people all over the region from the middle east from the united states but also in danger's the existing peace treaties between israel and these two arab countries and you know no i have to agree with you on that i think that the stability of the region the whole issue we've come to realize that it's all almost contingent upon the resolution of palestine or resolving the palestinian question but unfortunately i mean if i could i would i would i would ari i would argue that there are other big problems in the region that are not related i mean the problem of democratization in the arab world the problem of the arab gulf autocracies the issues between iran and the arab countries these are things that are related and i hate to cut you i hate to cut you off but unfortunately we're out of time but that was a rashid khalidi author and professor at columbia university thank you so much for joining us really

anyone who wants to become an american can and will be accepted as an american. whether you change your name or not. that is the beauty of it. washington, d.c., and could not imagine going back. belgium is a very small country. it is all the same. i cannot imagine going back. i wanted to stay here. >> there are major risks we as americans take by allowing immigrants into the country. one of the biggest concerns we have is the national security. >> we have workers that come in and work for the employer for one day. it then they disappear, because no one keeps track of them. no one does background. do you really trust the government telling you -- we have people walking across the border. we do not know anything about them and we are handing them driver's license and social security numbers. this is a huge in national security risk with all of that. >> immigration can be a good thing, but we will continue to pray bigger problems. immigration is an issue that needs to be tackled now. >> congratulations to all the winners in this year's student cam's competition. to

why then did almost 800 thousand americans, you heard me right, 800,000 americans travel to cuba between 2009 and 2011. if it's illegal why did the smithsonian national geographic and 200 other churches, synagogues and museums arrange for group travel to cuba. if it's illegal to trade, how come so many men and some women walk around smoking cuban cohebas and monte kris toes. the truth? it's all a charade. you can go to cuba if you are on an educational, cultural religious or people to people tour. did the couple go there on one of those tours? it seems that they did. even then the outrage continued. >> if everything went honky dori in cuba nobody would get upset. i am things are not fine and these exchanges are helping the cuban people be independent of the regime, i don't know how that trip helped the cuban people at all. >> now the white house went after the president's dear friend and one of his biggest financial supporters got special white house permission to travel to the communist controlled country. they denied, denied, denied. >> are you saying the president did not have a conve

wall you see rip van winkle had been asleep for twenty years and slept through the entirety of the american revolution. now the story itself is a fantasy but i think there is an important message behind it this country may not have another defining moment like the american revolution but through each generation our actions can serve a defining purpose. sure it's easy to skip a newspaper headline about occupy the s.e.c. for example although it's comprised of a group of concerned citizens who are working through the legal system toward more transparency from wall street and lobbyists or what about the rolling jubilee plan to buy debt for pennies on the dollar but instead of collecting it dissolving it altogether freeing the young people of this country from student loan debt the same can be said about the recent ships and social thought with the last with last year's elections ending the drug war the legalization of same sex marriage we may not all agree with these issues but change is underway these are all signs of an evolution of ideas in a revolution of our values the important thing to r

in addition, african-american median income is one tenth of that of white americans. when you add all of the dislocations and the economy, not all of them caused in any way by the recession but a big part of them, global competition and other things in terms of u.s. manufacturing of business. african-americans are usually the last hired and the first fired. >> bill: do you really believe it's a skin color issue rather than a performance issue? >> bill, i have been convinced all my life -- i have been in business all of my life. i have been quite successful as you might know. but i will tell you this. there are thousands, millions of african-americans who have the talent, the work ethic, the integrity, the ingenuity to be successful in jobs or in business but you have to admit that any time you have a situation for 50 years, dating back to the civil rights movement, when african-americans were making huge gains and fair employment and housing and legislation was enacted we spent more money on education than any time in the african-american history, there is something h

for a war that was not being fought on american so, unlike the american revolution.so we see this long ago, important moment in the seizure case, and we continue to see it as the war on terror, most recently we have seen it on debates over the president obama's continued engagement in the libyan hostility. apparently contrary to the war powers resolution, which thinks is constitutional but as he told my class, he said but it's not constitutional as to all applications. and apparently the obama administration felt it would be unconstitutional for congress to provide too many limits on the president's power to conduct hostilities against libya. now where those are we don't really know. so the commander-in-chief clause is actually a very important constitutional provision. and logan's project i think is the first one to actually give it some legal purchase. what might've been the official meaning of the commander-in-chief clause. because windows was drafted at philadelphia, i think the only commander-in-chief bid on was george washington. they certainly did not have geo

michael mckasey is a great patriotic american. a brilliant american. and now we have those who have told us that we must pass gun control legislation that most of them even acknowledge would not have affected the horror at sandy hook at all. but they say you must pass gun control legislation for the benefit, for the -- in the memory of sandy hook, utilizing that horrible murder spree to try to justify their political agenda. my first question is, will the legislation you're proposing, would it have changed the outcome at sandy hook or in colorado or any of the mass murders? and when the proponents say no, it wouldn't have changed sandy hook at all, then the next question is, all right, then what other legislation do you have? something that might make a difference. don't bring things that won't make a difference other than further your political agenda. let's do something to change what has happened in the past so it won't happen in the future. so now we're told, oh, gee, you should not use the boston bombing as a wake-up call to make sure that we look

schools were americanized and the american doctrine that permeated japanese schools vanished. large land holdings were broken up into 2-1/2 acre plots and deeded to farmers. the first elections were held in 1846 and for the first time women were allowed to vote. but this american inspired reformation was not born solely of the goodness of the american heart. washington felt national security in the midst of a cold war with the soviet union would be best served in the far east by a strong japan. japan was being groomed as the counter balance to the communist threat in the soviet union. the cold threat created a void that would be the starting point of japan's economic miracle. >> this occurred within the context of the cold war. see after world war ii, the entire american society and its economy focused on the need of the cold war. so we organized our research, our developments, our production in relationship to military needs. to stop the expansion of the soviet union. and this meant then that we were diverting our resources to the production of military goods. and this of cou

employers to participate are required to hire americans first and paid more than american workers. in contrast. spot is for a visa relatively simple, straightforward, and predictable. bottom line, employers have much to admirer in the program. this program might be -- may not succeed with existing illegal labor force. the nation can have no hope of ending illegal immigration without this. enforcement can help control the flow, but ultimately the best antidote is illegal immigration system that works. meeting unmet u.s. labor needs with an adequate supply of legal foreign workers. we learned this lesson the hard way since 1986. if we repeat -- if we repeat that mistake again this year, 10-20 years we will find ourselves in the same predicament wondering what to do with new unauthorized immigrants. most scholars try to predict labor needs, based estimates on the past, and mo suggested an average years to come u.s. liberty could attract as many as 250,000 even 400,000 less- skilled workers. will the program be able to accommodate the workers? certainly not in the first four years when

in free seat, the own thing that's un-american is calling someone un-american because you never hear people say that's very unbelgian of you. all of this for profit healthcare is uncanadian. but they sound extremely ungerman. that sounds natural. i'm not going to call our continued treatment of the prisoners at guantanamo bay prison un-american. even though gitmo has been operating too long. it costs too much. only mean people seem to like it. it weakens our nation. it is racist and it inspires hate and makes no sense yet it keeps begun going. it is like the o'reilly factor but with cages. obama ran for president saying if he was elected, he would close it. the american people said i would vote for that guy and he got elected and tried to close it. the republicans said no way. democrats said no way so obama fought back bay saying okay. it was like watching first term clinton trying to let's gos serve in the military. you wouldn't know this from tv news but the about president's office in charge of shutting down gitmo shut itself down in january. lots of our republican friends are moc

it is an american plan. and it is a plan that i hope can serve as an outline for us to write the next great chapter of the american story together. signed, barack obama, the white house. the speaker pro tempore: referred to committee on appropriations and ordered printed. the chair will now entertain requests for one-minute speeches. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is now recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, yesterday it was reported the nited states has 2.4 quadrillion cubic feet of natural gas that can be used for drilling techniques. that's 26% higher than the previous assessment and at current consumption rates, a 90-year supply. the marcela share has the largest resources. what has caused such a jump in resources in production? not the federal government. that's for sure. according t

a million dollars per american is too much. need to do it more cheaply. >> the afghans can figure out which parts of the three make-- country makes sense to tackle first, with american support, as opposed to us doing it entirely for them. >> real quickly, why did it take us, what, from 2002 until today, 11, 12 years to figure that out? >> you did not have an afghan government in 2002 that could have done that. >> for the next question, i want to recommend that it is concise. the gentleman in the back? >> gordon johnson. my only experience and your is post military work in the marshall plan, which is a very different situation. my question is you have not talked about perhaps the biggest difficulty we have created for ourselves in setting a deadline when we would leave. if we are going to go in, the calculation it should seem to require support of the local people. if vietnam is the lesson for leaving the local people, we leave any people who would support, will be before we showed. bush had a terrible time with the democrats sa

first of all i want to say that i'm a man, not a color. >> i'm an american, not an african-american.utions here are solutions for you sean as we go forward and leave this show. we need to fight in niece communities against the overregulations and policies that are killing black people. the lone remaining jim crow law in america has to go. the congressional black caucus votes for david -- project labor agreements they need to go. sean, discriminating against women and minorities. guess who obama claims he defends, women. tell end of the day we need to stop preaching to the choir and we need to go into these communities. you ask why is it that blacks have been voting democrat for x amount of years we have been voting since 1936 because we stopped competing. >> everyone in this room a closed mouth has no voice. we are going to raise our voices and be heard. i don't care, when they call me names, it's a badge of doggone honor for me, okay? crawling around and spinning and do everything i have to do with it. if you call me uncle tom i know i have won the debate. i know i have won the deba

is the basic problem the basic problem the basic problem is american foreign policy we create. as he american terrorists every day of the week and as long as we can we can recreate them we're going to we're going to have to suffer the way we do we we must stop invading and bombing and overthrowing governments and torturing people and stopped eating and him american terrorists i say antiemetic terrorist because we can prevent the creation of all terrorists but we can at least stop those who are motivated by anti american feelings against us foreign policy that is the main task at hand for american citizens max just to reply that i really don't think that there are going to be any fundamental changes in u.s. foreign policy should it change should it change no no i don't believe that it that it should change i mean the obama administration when you add it on secretary kerry and secretary hagel these are people who are very reluctant to deploy u.s. forces abroad i don't think that they're going to start any more conflicts or increase me in power i do think that the drone campaign w

four million american citizen children, they're the parents of four million american citizen children. nine out of 10 of them have, and i'm talking about american citizens family and upward, that's part of the fabric. and the other thing is, you know what, i love, we're getting away from the silly notion that in america somehow we're going to allow some new system that is going to go out and pick up 11 million people. can you imagine the police state? america won't tolerate that kind of police state. the congress of the united tates even the most -- the ugliest, most xenophobic member of congress has never devised a plan, an effective plan he says here's the money and we've got the will to go and pick up 11 illion people. hence many of them are in this country, having children, working hard. you sit down and drink the glass of chardonnay, it came from california you know the likelihood as you're sipping on it it came from the hands of undocumented worker. when you got the lettuce and tomato and the strawberry, you know who picked it. isn't it time we allow the very people who put food

black american character to a north american reader? you excited by showing how different the system was, how much history and in this case the six republics that emerged after the revolution in the describe it as a sort of insane kind of palace life that bolivar lived and how it changed from country to country from venezuela to new granada to adequate our, liberating panama on the way down to peru, which was the hardest at all, the hardest nut to crack. i hope you'll enjoy reading it. i want to hear your questions. i hope that many questions for me because this is always for me my favorite part. clap back >> yes. >> th speech. thank you very . >> that was a great speech. thank you very much. i cannot hereto buy the book number one because i read every six fabulous reviews of it. i didn't realize you had an in-house reviewer, john over there. i read him every weekend, but this is superb and i can't wait to look at the boat. i also lived half my life in south america, knew about about bolivar. included wonderful stuff in colombia. we hea

it is ensuring that american businesses not at the expense of american worker, but american businesses have access to temporary or seasonal labor as needed. it is also about enforcing our immigration laws. it is ensuring the federal government does what it is supposed to do in a way that is effective and make sure we do not have this problem again. that federal government has to secure its borders. we have set up a universal e- verify system to ensure that american worker is not disadvantage and to ensure that these magnets of illegal employment is not drawing a legal people here in the future. we have the creation of the entrance/exit system. 40% of the illegal immigration problem -- we have to dealith the y millions of people living in this country today in violation of our immigration laws. yes, they did violate our immigration laws. they do not have a legal right to be here. but we are dealing with this not because we legally have to, but because it is our national interest as a nation. it is not good to have the people living in the shadows. number two, we are dealing with this is

when the field is level, american workers, the american capitalist system, the american market systemamerican ingenuity can and does compete with anyone in the world on any level. [applause] i have overwhelming confidence on the competitive capacity of the american worker. they are the most productive workers in the world today. we will not fully realize our potential if the game is rigged and this -- and there's a lot of rigging going on right now. that's why we're troubled by state owned so-called national champion competitors that enjoy sub sigh subsidized financing, cheap inputs artificially inflating by con stricting foreign investments or trade designed to indeuce american companies to transfer their technology, their manufacturing as a condition of market access, by procurement rules that infairly keep american companies from the chance to compete, and by government that steal our intellectual property to benefit favored companies increasingly. increasingly. we're seeing wholesale theft of confidential business information and propriortary technology through cyber intrusion. th

's a great american.id that, ben carson is no different and i have he' been-- over the years, he's no different than any other black person i know that succeeded against the odds. he had to be twice as hard, twice as good and his story is not unique as african-americans who made success-- if he's going to go into politics out of the o-r-in the p-a-the political arena he's got to get ready to take heat that some disagree with. >> sean: we have parallel careers and kind of started on the same path together. >> same time. >> sean: we've known each other for 20 years and usually disagree which hasn't changed. wait a minute, but the names that you know they're called, starting with condoleezza rice, clarence thomas, colin powell, any conservative african-american it's vicious, cruel, it's mean and unfortunately it's accepted by the very people on the left that say that they are all in for minority rights. let me also bring your friend in here because i think it's important. antonio, i want your thoughts on it

the same way that americans criticize british food, i can tell you that our view of american food is too many burgers and fries. you serve cheese with everything. and any meal you order at any time of day or night, you have to have this amount of fried potatoes. and no one ever orders them. you order a simple egg or bacon, in come the potatoes. anthony, you stand accused of being obsessed with potato chips and cheese. >> there's no doubt about it. i think people -- people, especially countries where they don't eat much, when they see what we're eating and you know, a grand slam breakfast, i think they're just appalled. they can't believe it. when they see the size, the sheer size of many americans, i think they're freaked out. and yes, in a lot of the world, the first thing they think of when you mention american food would be hamburgers and fast food. it's certainly our most well known and possibly most lethal export. i was always an advocate for opening fast food outlets along the pakistan/afghanistan border as a way of undermining al qaeda. it would have done a real solid job on t

writing an african american character. you have to think about, too, this whole idea of political correctness has both an up side and a very bad down side. one of those is people tend to be very cautious and not want to try things like that. i eventually through my relationship with danny glover pulled it out of my drawers -- out of the drawer, desk drawer, and read it and danny was instrumental in saying, let's do this. let's just do this. but, again, it was me working with some african american actors and i actually had it vetted by august wilson, read it and checked it out for me and there's another fellow who wrote soldier's story, charles fuller, took a look at it for me. i wanted to make sure my bases were covered. but this new play, what i did was, i feel comfortable writing the characters, but you are never sure. one thing that happened was steven anthony jones helped me a great deal with the african american character. we took it to sundance and what happens when you go to sundance is you bring some actors and som

most americans support it.ority of republicans supported. >> as long as -- >> there is a path. you earn it. >> right. >> for the hispanic community, it is a nonstarter. for most democrats, it is a nonstarter. the one thing that the four of us insisted on, there has to be a path to citizenship. john and the other three said it has to be a qualified, earned path to citizenship. they insisted that people go to the back of the line, not gain any benefit from crossing the border. we have achieved that. >> effective control of the border. >> any attempt to say in the house that you will not have a path to citizenship will be a nonstarter. it will not pass the senate. i don't think it would get a democratic vote. >> michael? >> what happens to immigrants who are on the path to citizenship if benchmarks are not met? >> they would remain in a legal status until they comply with all of the requirements -- illegal until they comply with all of the requirements. in 1986, i voted for simpson mazzoli. million people illegall

this passivity of the american position and this passive passiveness of the american president of this continuous specially at this time this would mean allowing the israelis to kill the very last opportunity of two state solution are we just talking about past seventy or we're talking about specific regions because when obama was here we did see demonstrations on the palestinian street what are the issues that the street is angry about that the street is angry about many things first of all they see that the united states is totally biased to israel and it's not hiding it's even declaring it constantly second they see that they're americans are allies in the peace process leadership yet they are not being an honest broker in this process by monopolizing they are not doing their job at the same time they're not allowing any other party to do that to do this job but third there were many negative gestures even during the visit of president obama one of just said was that he refused to meet a child who of one of the presidents and bill in israeli presence here refused to listen and to he

more liberal than american liberals.ret thatcher left office with the lowest bracket, the lowest income tax bracket, at 25%, where today's republicans want the highest income tax bracket to be. she also doubled the british sales tax, the value added tax. she doubled it to 15%, a tax that dramatically increases the costs of everything you buy in that country. that's a sharply regressive tax, but it is a tax used to fund social programs and margaret thatcher doubled that tax, and yet she's still loved by american republicans who are ignorant of every single thing i have told you so far. when thatcher came into office, taxes as a share of gdp were 33%. when thatcher left office, that was 35%. grover norquist and all of the republican worshippers of margaret thatcher are outraged today that we are averaging 18%. those republicans insist that it is outrageous in this country for taxes to be 18% of our gdp, which is about half of what they were under margaret thatcher. half! barack obama is half the taxer that margaret thatche

it's really an american issues. with all due respect, this does provide, i think, the balance between security and civil liberties. it provides the civilian interface to the private sector to protect our critical infrastructures that are already under attack by countries like iran, china, and russia. so i think that this -- if anything the recent events in boston demonstrate that we have to come together as republicans and democrats to get this done in the name of national security. in the case of boston they were real bombs, explosive devices. in this case they are digital bombs. these digital bombs are on their way. that's why this legislation is so important. that's why it's so urgent that we pass this today. for if we don't, and those digital bombs land and attack the united states of america, and congress failed to act, that congress has that on its hands. with that i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from texas yields back. the gentleman from mississippi is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. chairman.
