that american leadership lights the way. and today speaking of leadership, allow me to begin by bringing greetings from a great champion of american leadership at home and abroad, i bring greetings from the 45th president of the united states of america, president donald trump. [ applause ] from early in this administration, president trump has made our relationship with china and president xi a priority. on april 6th of last year, president trump welcomed president xi to maur-a-lago. he welcomed him warmly. over the past of two years our president has forged a strong personal relationship with the president of the peoples republic of china and worked closely on common interest. most importantly the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. but i came before you today because the american people need to know as we speak beijing is employing a whole of a government approach, using political and economic to advance influence and benefit influence in the united states. china is also applying this power in more pro-active ways t

jobs, and american security.s we rebuild our military, we will assert american interest across the indo pacific. as we respond to china's trade practices, we will continue to demand an economic relationship with china that is free, fair, and reciprocal. we will demand that beijing breakdown its trade barriers, fulfill its obligations, fully open its economy, just as we have opened hours. we will continue to take action against beijing until american intellectual property ends once and for all. and we will continue to stand strong and tell beijing stops the predatory practice of forced technology transfer. we will protect the private property interest of american enterprise. [applause] to advance our vision of free and open indo pacific, we are building new and stronger bonds with nations that share our values across the region. from india to samoa, our relations will flow from a spirit of respect, filled on partnership, not domination. we are forging new trade deals on a bilateral basis, just as last week, presid

americans. especially the working class americans because right now when they use the racial. or income students and that's not fair i went to the court at boston federal court and i listened to the defense how they are just you find their racial consideration and everything they said about how i mean students using pencils to practice. our african-american act and you know has certain kind of career goal and this and to all that was evidence that used to justify racial concentration and. racial consideration it's all for the app you can just package the material that you from all there are even then even though that the recycle all that information is already in the applicants package all that is for me is there what they're not saying is that. it actually associates and then if you really i know you want to get in there but i want to play and then i want to bring in a couple of tweets are on our community is this really was brought up in my mind when i heard a couple of phrases from the swan t

thehe average that was american -- was the american's decision to bomb the north. bombing americans start , for the average person in the north, this is clear unprovoked aggression. that gets people going, which is great for hanoi. as of 64, hanoi feels if it starts a war at that point, it might mix into the south. it would be difficult to get the northern population to support another war. people don't really care in the north about the situation in the south. they care about land, they care about farming. when the american start bombing, that is a real boom for hanoi. manipulationuse of that use and manipulation of history where really key in terms of rallying people behind hanoi and giving it that legitimacy that i feel saigon always tries to get but could .ever muster >> i also study the propaganda of north vietnam, and they invited people to different groups. thosey were mobilized to to fight on the front, they will be mobilized based on identity. there the workers, we are teri at -- the proletariat. level of thethe kind of audience that they tailored the mess

but whether you are african-american or hispanic-american or any american, really any american at all, you have the right to live in a country that puts your needs first. because people said -- i mean, i heard this one a couple weeks ago, said give me a break. they said america first, that could be racist. i said racist? racist? why is that racist? here we are, i think does everybody in this room agree, you're living in america. america first, [ chanting usa ] >> that is really beautiful. this is a beautiful meeting. i have to be honest with you. i go to a lot of them. some of them i'm a little bored. i do my thing, i say my words. i say bye, everybody. and i go and i say, you know, it's all right. but this -- to me, this is a very exciting group. every citizen benefits from tax cuts, regulation cuts, and millions more of great paying jobs. look at jobs. every citizen benefits from lower crime, safer communities, and school choice. every citizen benefits from reducing the price of prescription drugs, which we did yesterday. got very little coverage. you know, i was told by a very prom

african-american history is no different than white american history was. in the 1950's, it was said that black people are nothing but by people with black skins. there was a book challenging jim crow history. this was a well-meaning, liberal white person who made this case. professor jeffries: good white folk. [laughter] dr. kendi: he actually was comfortable, right? so, these assimilationist ideas have historically been a t -- threat threa andfrican-american culture museums. i am making the case that this is a racist idea, that there is something funnily inferior about black people. the way it operates is for people to say, you know what? it's not just that black people need resources and opportunities, they also need to be developed. what happens is you take time and resources away from challenging racial discrimination because you have been taught there is something wrong with these people, and that the way forward for those people is to move out of african-american history, to move out of those black museum's, to move out of black spaces and assimilate

the world rigs -- the benefits of american genius, and innovation why -- american citizens and great seniors or hit the hardest. they pick up the tap. but no longer. here are just a few examples. for one eye medication that helps prevent blindness, medicare pays over $1 billion per year. if we pay the prices other nations pay, we bring the $1 billion down to $187 million per year. isn't it?ty amazing, we spend more than $1 billion per year on to drugs to treat bone disease, but we could save more than $800 billion, think of that, it hundred billion dollars seniors -- $800 billion savings, for our seniors. other countries pay. that is the way the united states has been disrespected for too long into many ways. one common cancer drug is nearly seven times as expensive pair for medicare as it is for other countries. it is a highly used in very effective drug. it is seven times more expensive. not fair. the government pays whatever price the drug company set without any negotiation whatsoever. anymore. under our new plan, the department of health and human medicare told allow determine t

the war radically alters american politics, the military, the way americans think about and talk about war. it's cultural, and political rhetoric -- ramifications are enormous. and as we have to grapple with these questions and until we do, i think the specter of vietnam, the ghost of vietnam lingers and we will continue to operate in the realm of mythology rather than street. clapp mac -- >> thank you for panelists for a thought-provoking panel. we've got some time left for questions. i was going to start out but jackie pose all the questions i had on my sheet here.[ laugh ]what we would like to do ladies and gentlemen, please, if you have a question, wait for the microphone. hold the microphone close enough so we can be heard, i will recognize you so i can send it to the appropriate panel member. first question. sir. >> i've got a comment. i was assigned in 1966 and one, on the politics, yes it was political. the saigon government at that time was corrupt. as far as westmoreland, i'm not defending him, but, when i was in that area, we got reports, which was third marine division, tha

and american identity. think we have to think about how we understand what vietnam means to us as americans as well as understand what happened. so, i approach this question as both a historian of the vietnam war, a historian of american military strategy, american grand strategy but also as someone who in my life teaches something called strategy to american military officers, the senior officers, american and international and to our inter- agency civilians. my vantage point straddles the contemporary with the historical. the specter of vietnam, the legacy of vietnam looms large in classrooms and briefing rooms. it looms large in the collective popular imaginations of americans for sure. and we collectively, scholars, the public, veterans, still do not agree about what happened in vietnam and we certainly do not agree on what it means on the interpretations of that. andour own readings understandings of exactly what happened and what it means continue to shape how we approach contemporary questions about

because no one else should be controlling the vote of the african-americans but the african-american communities. >> derek johnson serves as the president and ceo of the naacp. call comes from detroit michigan, democrat line, you are on with our guest. go ahead. >> caller: good morning to both of you and greetings. i have two questions and also i would like to make a comment, if i can. what steps are being taken to prevent voter suppression efforts on the part of -- [inaudible] -- on the republican side? and how far if in terms of white people's attitudes among african-americans do you think they have changed especially the younger generation of white people? >> quickly, please. >> so in terms of voter suppression, we filed a lawsuit last week in georgia where we realized that over 59,000 applications were being denied process for new registered voters. we're preparing similar lawsuits to what took place in georgia in tennessee where we've also learned that there are voter suppression methods to deny voter registration applications being processed. the naacp we see the whole nature o

american, and asian-american, the lowest ever.nd you have heard me say this, and i can't, i don't know i have , let the women down because , women's unemployment, i have been waiting for this to change and it does not change, women's unemployment has only fallen to the lowest level in 65 years, as opposed to history, as opposed to historic, the best numbers in 65 years. can you imagine? and i am disappointed by that , because everything else is historic and history but that , will be changing, as soon as the next graph comes out. no one is better prepared to live the american dream than the young americans here today. you are amazing people. amazing. [applause] you are amazing people. your time with the ffa in the field, on the farm, in the lab and in the classroom has not only prepared you for a stellar, great career in something you love, it has talk you essential truths about life and about the world in which we live. you know that success only comes through hard work and perseverance. you know that very well. you know that not

no, i am american. he uses american slang. lord, if you stop shooting, i will make those men surrender. york says, ok. palmer pulled out his whistle, blows on it. it is all about your friends. you are in the firing line, you do not think about anybody aside from your buddy to your left or right. is fighting because his best friend, murray savage died. and palmer wants to save them. is dying. begging for help. palmyra, his best friend in the army for 10 years is willing to offer the surrender to save the life of his friend. palmer walks over, blows the whistle. palmers served with since the beginning of the war and here's the field whistle to surrender. he tells his men to lay down their arms. 30 german soldiers come down the hill. eight americans with 100 germans, behind german lines. as they get the prisoners down, they have them drop their gear. -- this is inmer the movie. it is accurate. palmer knows the two roads. there is a high road that will take the americans under about 30 german machine guns or the low road is the be

west about the interactions between american settlers and native americans in the 19th century at this institute conference. talking about the impact of trade alliances on native americans and their struggle to keep their political and functional autonomy. >> i am the only one who needs the introduction, i will be moderating this session and speaking at a couple more. you have seen patty both in action and how dynamic they are. i hope i do not stifle things. i am a amazon nut. mentioned earlier, trying to buy it on amazon prime, i am a little cheap, everything but meds. -- neds. i really wanted to get it and i paid them more to get it earlier. and when i opened it up into the introduction was a wonderful quote picking up on point that ned made in the opening session, which is a important part of the legacy. in the pre-columbian area and post, from his introduction i said i have read the adaptation and exchange more categorize these directions accurately then fixed categories. let alone the dichotomy common to american indians. when i read that it resonated with the way i have thought a

of therolling the vote african-american community but the african-american community. host: jerry, democrat line. you are on with our guest. go ahead. two questions and would like to make a comment if i can. the first with the president of the end of lacey p is -- naacp is, what efforts have you taken to prevent voter suppression by racist white conservatives on the republican side? far in terms of white people's attitudes toward african-americans do you feel can change, it in terms of the younger generation of white people. and i would like to make my comment if i could. host: quickly, please. guest: on voter suppression, we filed a lawsuit last week in georgia where we realized there being9,000 applications denied process for new registered voters. tennessee, we also learned there was vote suppression to deny the process. voter the whole nature of registration as a vote suppression. you have to fill out an application to qualify to participate in a democracy they invest in with tax dollars. it is voter suppression. as a matter of fact, there are four components where

the world reaps the benefits of american genius and innovation, while american citizens, and especially our great seniors, who are hit the hardest, pick up the tab. but no longer. here are just a few examples. for one eye medication that helps prevent blindness, medicare pays over $1 billion a year. if we paid the prices other nations pay, we'd bring the $1 billion down to $187 million a year. it's pretty amazing, isn't it? we spend more than $1 billion a year on two drugs to treat bone disease, but we could save more than $800 billion, think of that, $800 billion saving for our seniors by paying the prices other countries pay. nothing special, just the prices that other countries pay. that's the way the united states has been disrespected for too long in too many ways. one common cancer drug is nearly seven times as expensive for medicare as it is for other countries. this is a highly used and very effective drug. and it's seven times more expensive. not fair. this happens because the government pays whatever price the drug companies set without any negotiation whatsoever. not anymore.

when you get a conspiracy this is the american government did one thing or another, you say the american government would not do that. aain, not a big deal in society were the people trust the government but it is a big deal for a group of people who are politically -- by this this. kennedy was you, shot in dallas 1963. afterward lee harvey oswald is arrested. the president is murdered in the middle of the cold war. arrested, oswald is we got the guy. then someone jumps out in front of police officers, a minor league gangster jumps out and shoots the person who shot the president on national tv. ,n the context of the cold war knowing there is a national security state, in this moving or just about really to be moving cultural anxiety of the 1960's, so what do they do? they put the former governor of california and chief justice of the supreme court on to investigate this. this is to say you need to trust us because if there is one person to trust, it is the chief justice of the supreme court, the person who is at the top of our judicial branch. he will be in charge and says he acted alon

there toutingt her as native american. i will say the university of pennsylvania took a very different approach. i talked to the dean there about this and he was like, no, no, we were not going to do that. it's elizabeth warren wanted to be native american on our statistics, that's fine, but there is no way we were going to suggest she was a native american law professor. the two universities to go very different approach. nermeen: the critics of her decision to come out as native american say that she basically, her presence at these universities sanctioned the universities, allow them to not hire other native americans because they had one step is that true? is that what you learned? >> i think that is where i get problematic. there has not been a criticism that has been leveled. i think what is going into a democratic primary with cory booker or kamala harris and a very diverse electorate, she's going to have to have a very good answer for that. when i asked her that very question, she says that she was doing a lot of w

it is un-american.he fact this election of north dakota is tainted by voter suppression, you can't reverse it. right now people have to do everything they can to get native americans are they can get the id thehey need to vote. this law was specifically written to disenfranchise native american voters. juan: in terms of the fact we are only weeks away from the midterm elections, clearly, the florida referendum -- whatever happens there will only take effect for the next election. but what can be done now in georgia and in north dakota to be able to have these folks have their right to v vote before ths electition? >> in georgia, there's a lawsuit filed to allow the pending registrations to go through. you can still show up to vote. in north dakota, the trouble authororities are going to basically have a temporary id they will give people, l letters sent have an address. ole workerers are supposed to accept that. we have to be very vigilant. peopletremely worried will show up in georgia, show up in north

so in 2018, today, 64% of americans tell nbc polling that racism is a major problem in american life. 77% of african americans tell polksters they have a negative view of race relations. that's a sharp rise. in 2014, only 44%, and that was previously the high, 44% said they had a negative view of race relations. so 44% in 201 to 77% today. why are people so troubled by race relations? at this moment? how did a country that made so much progress on race so recently fall so quill into such a deep hole of racial division and regret? all of you sitting in this room at the she know center i think you know the answer. is the rise of donald trump. he is the one who built his political career by trashing the first black president barack obama, even questioned whether obama was an american citizen. trump followed on the so-called birth movement by stating that his residential -- starting his presidential campaign i should say, by calling mexicankens criminals, and racists. he's attacked an american judge, born of mexican parents of being unable to deliver justice because of his heritage. the s

[cheering] we've been talking about that for a long time. mike keeps calling, sir we want to fix up presqueaisle. he said sir it's a beautiful beach. there's no sand. there's no sand and we're going to get him the sand. so he's a great guy you have to go vote for him. let me just invite just for a couple of seconds, mike please, come on up. [cheering] >> you know what, listen president trump and i have so much in common. first of all he loves pennsylvania -- [cheering] and he made a commitment tonight. he said what can we do to make it better in erie, what can we do to make the greatest of the great lakes and make it better? i said mr. president, we need to get sand replenishment. [cheering] he said how much do you need? i said i'm not sure. he said let me know you're knowing to get that sand. [cheering] and then he said so what else, what else? i said you know what we need to get d

the american dream is working again for every american.ause] after eight years of paychecks and wages that just wouldn't budge, i hope you saw the numbers of wages are now rising at their fastest pace in nearly a decade and middle-class income in america has reached the highest level ever recorded in american history. [applause] you know, it didn't just happen because the american people made a choice and 2016. change the direction of this country. the truth is the last administration stifled our economy under an avalanche of red tape. this president is actually signed more bills, rolling back federal red tape than any president in american history. [applause] the last president almost virtually declared war in american energy. this improved to keystone decoder pipelines which the united states on the job killing paris climate accord and under president donald trump with more on american energy is over. [applause] and while the last administration raised taxes on the american people, this president and this congress passed the largest tax

african american and asian american unemployment have reached their lowest points ever. women's unemployment is best sense -- in 65 years. women have the best number in 65 years and i have to apologize. because african-american and asian-american, it is in history. women, it is only 65 years. they said three years ago i would never get the women's vote. i got the women's vote. look at all of those signs. women for trump. i think women like me now more than they did two years ago. they want safety, they want security, they want their husbands and themselves to have great 401ks. you will pay a big price if you vote for somebody else. it will be cut down big. remember, i told you. you will wonder what the hell is happening to your 401k. when i took over, this place was heading south. if we did not free up the regulations that were strangling our country, if we did not do the task cuts -- and i think the regulations were the most important. we opened up hundreds of thousands of jobs right away. the only reason to vote democrat is if you are tired of winning. every day we are

on your former point about big business, you don't hope the american worker by beating up on american employers. but remember 2016 was also run against clinton cash machine, so corruption was an issue. if you go back to 2015 all the newspapers were talking about the hillary clinton state department machine distinguishing them, so that was on the ballot and trump railed against that kind of cronyny capitalism. we haven't seen much action on that front and i think it is hugely important. i don't think that we hate big business, but we hate corporate corruption and the way in which interest groups write 1,000 page bills or 20,000 pages of regulations. we would like all that's to stop and it's beginning to stop at the regulation level. and we want to make sure that continues. >> host: what role did you play as the speechwriter and can you giveti some line that the president said that might sound familiar to all of us that you wrote? >> guest: my wife for example and presented them to people on the campaign, basically steve miller, jared kushner. i rubbed some speeches for the convention o

different americans. that the democrats, 40-plus percent believe this was a conspiracy in the government. much lower between republicans. and obama not born in the united states is very low among democrats and very high among republicans. so in the sense, what -- what political party does is tell you staff the villains differently. and choose which conspiracies you're scared of but not necessarily whether you believe in conspiracies at all. yes. >> what if any role does religion play in believing in conspiracies? in looking at what americans said, so many of them are religion based. so i'm wondering whether -- show less >> i am not sure i have seen -- great question -- i am not sure i have seen of those asking about conspiracy theories, i don't know the numbers or know the numbers i'm seeing if i'm catholic, i much more likely believe in xonconspiracies. the people asking pew study are not asking about religious studies. i'm bringing the two groups together but they have not been indexed in the way they r

of this major scandal american pows. the making is not coherent i'm sure you've seen that has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump understands that. this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing so that is a very challenging patrol but i think that's going to change the status quo of america's policy because of ego but i mean if we consider both possibilities here it is the crown prince who is behind the murder or second it is somebody who is strong enough and powerful enough in saudi arabia you challenge him in such a way that makes saudi arabia inherently dangerous. to put any bets on when she thinks this is something we've seen the yemen policy we've seen the. kidnapping of. by geo political or geo strategic interest this is something very different i

americans and just the other day i heard a veteran american diplomat martin indyk suggesting that the crown prince needs to come up with something take the focus away from this crime for example as he. flowed possibility of pulling out a few young men or female political prisoners but you know those things are. something well i think it's a very very cynical approach you're with probably agree with me on that do you think that americans going forward seriously here the same values. sort of the basis. their foreign policy. question i think i think the money is definitely going to take such steps the ones that you discard because they would be very indicative of him given into pressure that's not how the saudis do their foreign policy. i think that the saudis were hoping that the investment conference would somehow offset a lot of the criticism but didn't happen. speaking about the kind of value it's never been about values the best. part of their foreign policy i mean they they they do have that with regard to saudi arabia it's always been about national interests not values and i thin

native-american.the united states as human has same first amendment rights. >> many pollsters say democrats will take the house. but our next guest says not so fast. >> 63 million trump voters see what would happen in congress if the democrats take over. >> don't forget to buy the lottery tickets, megamillions, and powerball combining for a one billion dole lar payout. ♪ -- billion dollar payout. ♪ steve: live from fox square, 8:00 here in new york city, you're listening to the manhattan symphony orchestra, 55 members strong under the direction of gregory singer, former liberal democrat turned trump supporter because he felt democratic party drifted too far to the left and abandoned interest diggal moderates and independents. he is now on the trump train. brian: you got all of that out of listening to this song? >> it talks to me. brian: sounds like it. ainsley: only in new york can you walk down the street and hear the symphony. steve: how good are they though? ainsley: i played clarinet. brian: i wa

i wasn't aware there was different kinds of americans american as american as american all created equal for liberty and justice for all. i should say something to the big kid like a row that i never talk about at school again or at home either. but i do spend some time wondering what the big kid means by american like you. my name? maybe this has something to do with my skin. that's ridiculous we don't separate americans by the color of their eyes. do we? different words for different kinds of americans? other americans? i am nine years old and suddenly i am wondering what do i call an american like me? [applause] thank you. so now i will last them to read some segments from their gorgeous pieces so i cannot wait for them to read to you can get their book. >> so american like me. although i embraced myself at home and on the weekends i still struggle to be different like most kids i preferred to blend in i used to hate the gap between my two front teeth kids made fun of me my mother would always ask me to smile when she took photos i never wanted to open my mouth enough for the gap to s

native american. so that would make warren less native american than the average european-american. wait a second. what the heck happened to liberal concerns about cultural appropriation? i guess that's out the window. warren is kind of a typical democrat here. she's racially obsessed, and let's face it, it's easier than being factually informed. and worse, she's willing to scam the system, in this case, play an indian to get a boost professionally, or in this case, politically. to add insult to injury, her dna specialist, carlos bustamante, flatly admitted that he didn't even use native american samples for the test. seriously? to make up for the lack of those samples, he used one from mexico, peru, and colombia. keep this up and warren is going to be claiming that she's more latina than alexandria ocasio-cortez by 2020. speaking of latinos, a new migrant caravan from central america, the second in six months, is now headed up through mexico to the united states this week. it already has 1600 members
