american religious freedoms are to be protected. that's why today we call on the supreme court to ensure religious liberties are granted for american muslims and we urge them to fight the unconstitutional muslim then. many of us will be rallying them and wish our attorneys and those that are representing many muslims will prevail. the supreme court has to ensure that religious liberties have been the foundation of the nation and will continue to be so by protecting them in the next hearing. we are here today to talk about the civil rights report. it is the only report that he and organizations put together to give him ideas about the status of the civil rights in the united states and they talk about offering stories of how american muslims feel and are treated because of their faith. in the past two years since the administration conduct of its campaign american muslims have been singled out has deployed the ideology to target the religious minority that is the muslim community in this tells the story of the targeting me see it in

and on the flipside, the new deal is creating new spaces for african-americans and southern americans in particular r to push for civil and economic rights. right. civil and economic rights and again, to use roger wilkins can' phrase to push for and aspire for that inclusion into the the mainstream of american life. and so the new deal is very essential in that regard, and also seeing the continued fight against lynching. this is an issue since the beginning of the 20th century as we well know. it is still an issue in the late 30s and 1940s and african-americans are still facing the threat of racial terror throughout the united states. and there is going to be some push back against this, and the pushing for, and the edadvocacyf the national legislation, and the anti-lynching legislation, and also some other areas of the pushback in the terms of a african-americans trying to assert the rights and assert the rights as citizens of the country, and for instance in the 1930s, moving into the 1940s a series of don't buy where you can't work boycotts. all right. so the segregation combined

iran has killed americans in iraq. its proxies seek to harm our citizens and our interests around the world. but let me be clear. the united states has no quarrel with the iranian people. this legislation seeks to protect the human rights of the iranian people and americans who are unfairly detained in iran. this bill signifies and signals our solidarity with the protesters and demonstrators to iran's rulers, any action that violates the human rights of americans will be met with severe consequences. the gentleman from texas, mr. mr. poe just mentioned the 1988 massacre, that was horrendous and there were many, many more. this brutal regime has blood on its hand and -- on its hands and it's important for the united states to call them out. i urge my colleagues to support this bill this bipartisan bill, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: in closing, i would again like to thank my colleague, chairman

i think also it's the coming together here of african-american, native american and anglo-american people that created a racial cauldron that boiled over in the early part of the 20th century particularly in what is called now the tulsa race riot though many will this not. any call it the race massacre. it was an assault by some 10000 armed whites on the wealthy well-to-do black community of north toll suck it was called greenland that happened in 1921, and i have made 31st to june 1 of 1921 and it's the most massive assaults by white americans on black americans that happened -- those kinds of things were happening they happened in florida, arkansas and other places at that time, but nothing to the degree and drama and the complete destruction of a very very wealthy well-to-do community successful and prosperous african americans, people living in a certain kind of community in oklahoma and that it was covered over, that history disappeared and it's the way-- in a lot of ways we have disappeared our national narrative altogether. we don't really want to think about our founding in slaver

american non action american action or both forms of intervention is because of the general presumption that the united states has a responsibility to be involved in every conflict everywhere in the world in the basic reality is the united states has relations with governments in every part of the world and having relations with governments and every part of the world the united states is involved in every conflict in every part of the world in either through its actions or its in actions the united states is going to be blamed for the outcome so the question is ok what is the best policy for the united states to follow is it a policy of action in action or some combination of the two and calibrating that policy has been the challenge that american foreign policy makers have faced ever since the end of the second world war and that explains the consistency in american foreign policy now if we were to look at the current administration and see a radical break with that consistency the radical break might need to disown a responsibility for all these conflicts and there was a lot of conce

protecting american workers, the american middle class, and the american dream should not be a partisan issue. and i'm deeply concerned with mr. ring's appointment to the nlrb, if confirmed to the five-member board, the majority of the agency charged with protecting workers vice voices will be stacked with voices that undermined workers rights. i think workers should be treated fairly, but not at the expebs of our -- expense of our nation's workers and the middle class. we need nlrb members who will stick up for american workers and the american class. mr. ring will not be that kind of nlrb member, and the administration and the majority are actively preventing seating someone who will stand up for workers. i will be voting against mr. ring's nomination, and i urge my colleagues to do the same. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. mr.sullivan: i have 14 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. the presiding office

a personal challenge for so many americans. when i go home to my community -- just two weeks ago when i was there, a young man that i knew, john smith, was killed by an assault weapon just at the top of the block i live in. he was murdered by an assault weapon that i don't believe should be in streets and communities like the one i live in. we lived together in the same building for 10 years. and unfortunately, i have seen him and other of his friends be killed by gun violence. this is something that is continuing to cut and scar the moral core of our country. that these young men should be dying, that they believe trigger headlines has become so normalized. we have to stop this madness. so, let me be clear, let us not stop. let us continue this movement until change comes. let us honor our ancestors who fought for our civil rights, our voting rights, our working rights, by continuing the advancement towards freedom. let us protect the homeland, let's protect our communities, our families, schools, movie theaters, churches. let

kind of an american exceptionalism argument. america is different than the rest of the world and lack of radicalism was part of that difference, which this course is designed to try to refute. what i am going to do today is not try to cover all of the types of extremism in your readings this week. i am going to just pick just one of those types, and that is anarchism. i am picking anarchism for a variety of reasons. one is as a historian i am appalled by the use of the word narchist in the press whenever there is a riot, and in my old hometown of berkeley, the term was used widely. that the protesters were narchists. and, what they were doing was equating anarchism first with just vandalism. no ideology in particular, which is wrong. nd, also equating anarchists ith destructiveness. and, indeed the folks they were covering, the news coverage, were doing destructive hings. they were trashing stores and things like that. anarchists of the type i am talking about did do violent acts, at least some schools of anarchy, but those acts

is that what the american people want? is that what the american people want? >> no. >> and you know something, the american people are not fooled by this. the polls that you see just in the "wall street journal" yesterday, we've seen them in a recent poll. they get that this tax cut did go to them, didn't go to denver with the people who already had enough funding. and they also get that what is going to be lost are the things that real people need. so last thing i'll say is this. today is tax day. the next day that's really, really, really important is a little tuesday in november. the way in which we respond is to bow out the people who did this and vote in people who will change of this.

[chanting] >> thank you. i've had the pleasure of traveling the country over the past few months with our next speaker. he is somebody who has stood up time and time again for working families, and he will not give up fighting for all of us. that man is senator bernie sanders.

the american presidents in the eyes of voters and historians. and a george washington university professor and author of "the right moment: ronald ." gan's victory watch 1968, america in turmoil, conservative politics, live sunday at 8:30 p.m. eastern on c-span's washington journal and on american history tv on c-span3. >> earlier this evening, president trump announced the u.s. was launching airstrikes in syria in cooperation with france and the u.k. as part of a response to the alleged chemical weapons attack carried out last weekend killing more than 40 people and injuring hundreds. his statement from the white house diplomatic room was just under 10 minutes. pres. trump: my fellow americans, a short time ago, i ordered the united states armed forces to launch precision strikes on targets associated with the chemical weapons capabilities of syrian dictator bashar al-assad. a combined operation with the armed forces of france and the united kingdom is now underway. we thank them both. tonight i want to speak with you about why we have taken th

to the american people. what wonderful companies these are and wonderful employees they are. i would like to go over the specific positive changes to our tax code that occurred under the tax cuts and jobs act. a middle-class family in south carolina will save thanks to the tax cuts. the child tax credit was doubled and i want to give credit, the reason it was doubled because of the great work of our u.s. senator tim scott working with ivanka trump kushner and this was to make child friendly, family friendly and looking out for persons who are single-parent households and the child tax credit was doubled from $1,000 to 2,000 making it easier for new families to provide for their children. the bill removed the mandate that required you to buy to buy or pay a penalty. .eople are not being pen liesed this standard deduction doubled to $24,000 for married couples filing jointly. this makes it simpler for couples to file their taxes because they will use the standard deduction and won't itemize. corporations that

is to confront the fact that millions of americans or at least many thousands of white americans love tim. every american knows that they stared down vicious racism. by 1968 they have come down. african-americans were exercising the vote. yet the hatred for king persisted. that is something i have not fully realized before i started the research for this book i think. and the white suit celebrated king's death. they were not all just the strong thurman type i poured through letters that were written from people in chicago in the bronx and michigan and boston. who are rejoicing indeed at his assassination. it also was not a matter of young versus old. it wasn't that the old generation hated king i poured through essays. in the memphis area high school who are basically absorbed all of this vitriol and were repeating it. and were saying that the ss and it was a great patriot and so on. he is so canonized today. he is revered and exalted. north and south. by black and white. i think it can still really startled and stunned us. even in a time like ours where racial hatred has bubbled fear

money better than the american people themselves. my friend, the democratic leader, said so right here on the floor a few weeks ago. this is exactly what he said. there are much better uses for the money. really? on average, a family of four earning the median income will save about $2,000 on their taxes. i don't think a middle-class family will have difficulty finding good ways to use $2,000. they certain will i don't need a bureaucrat to do it for them. maybe they need a new washer and dryer or refrigerator. maybe it will help them make a down payment on a second car. maybe they'll use it to keep up with rising health costs, since obamacare has utterly failed to keep costs down for american families. whatever they choose, i'm glad the republican tax reform is letting hardworking parents keep more of their own money. but my democratic colleagues obviously disagree. they're rail laying to take back -- to take back -- that family's money so they can spend it themselves. they're so out of touch that they scoff at a $2,000 tax cut, $1,0

i guess briefly, my new work is on history of african-american genealogy and african-american familystory and all this point about memory and what goes underground or fugitives in the aftermath of reconstruction and the impossibility of public commemoration, i feel very strongly that what is happening behind closed doors is incredibly important in terms of the transmission of stories, grandmothers tell their grandchildren at bedtime or at the kitchen table or while laboring. heather williams and others have written beautifully about the relationship between the kind of impossibility of much of these traditions during slavery, so one in three approximately enslaved children experience major separation from a family member and that's also not just the deprivation of family members, but family history and so i think the names won't be known in many cases until we look for them and find them and write them down, but many have them within their family history and i'd to this in the classroom with my students and they opted that don't know anything. we have no records are paper and i say l

people, to cast latino and african americans in a very negative light, and causing primarily a americans to look at them in a very negative perspective. i just don't think that the intellectual grit and analysis that you put into your stories are taking place locally. that is what drives a lot of the dissension and anger in this country. i would like your thoughts on that. i will hang up and listen for your response. >> you are absolutely right in that a lot of the current holding data indicates that most americans get their news from local news. mostly local television news. that is absolutely right. therefore, that puts a huge responsibility on the people who run local news. if there is in in balance, if they put too much negative associated with one group, that is wrong. and it is bad journalism and it simply is not true. at the same time, if it is a fact, that something negative is associated with african-american communities, hispanic, you have to report that, that is also part of the news. my own feeling is that for the most part, exception taken into account. for the most part, ne

i think, also, it is the coming together here of african-american, native american, and anglo-american people that created a rachel cauldronnd -- a racial that boiled over in the 20th century, particularly in the race riot. many people will say that is not the proper name for it, many people call it the race massacre. it was an assault by 10,000 armed whites on the wealthy, well-to-do black community of tulsa called greenwood in 1921 on the night of may 31, june 21. it is the most massive assault by white americans on black americans. those kinds of things were happening in florida, arkansas, and other places at the time, but nothing to the degree and drama, and complete destruction of a very, very wealthy, well-to-do community of successful and prosperous in aan americans living certain kind of autonomy here in oklahoma. and then it was covered over, that history disappeared. , in a lot of ways, we have disappeared our national narrative altogether. we don't really want to think about our fans and -- our founders and slavery, we don't want to think about the broadest of the genocide o
