assembled there, down pennsylvania avenue. to be greeted by president johnson, cabinet secretaries, all of the dignitaries and of course tens of thousands of thankful citizens cheering them on. it was front page news and every newspaper across the nation. it was deemed one of the grandest spectacles that had ever been done. there was just one problem. none of the african-americans who had fought in combat were invited to participate. the official story was that none were available. none were around. we've heard that before. you can read the evidence to the contrary in my book. there was black representation in the parade. you see, general william sherman did not believe in having black combat soldiers and so he did not have any serve under him, but he had black soldiers and others who served with his army as part of what was called the bummer's brigade. they were scouts. they helped to build roads, build bridges. they helped attend to the cattle to cook and do all those things that are important, especially with his army that was going through the south behind, you know, regular supply lines, et cetera. so, they needed the blacks for intelligence and scouti

assembly and a actually supported tuition assistance programs and increasing 21st century learning centers. what did my opponent do? voted for illegal immigrants to get tuition assistance programs to take away from parents and citizensf this state so illegal immigrants get advantages over them. there's a lot of other indications and a lot of other things he has done to help -- immigrantsts over our citizens here. we have done a lot to help education and try to make it more affordable. i think people should vote for me because it is common sense. the president has put in a record amount of money and career technical education. he started a new upper nisha program. one of the idea started in one of my many roundtable discussions. i have had dozens of town halls, hundreds of local events, hundreds of meetings with people, thousands of constituents met, so his claims of his echo chamber town halls with his democratic assembly campaign committee or whatever butharles: we need to stop, you get the next question. it's a tweet from kim gonzalez to she wants know what your solution to the ongoing opioid crisis that's plaguing much of the congressional district. reallynney: it's a serious problem in this region. unfortunately

citizens that north korea conducted in the past. and he also talked about human rights. and about the detention and the eventual death of otto warmbier. fast forward a year later. at the u.n. general assembly speech in 2018. just a month ago. president trump said, missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. nuclear testing has stopped. and remains of our fallen heroes are being returned to lay at rest in american soil. and then he went on to thank president moon for facilitating a conversation, the diplomacy with kim jong-un, and this was in addition to the -- what i feel are gratuitous compliments to kim jong-un for engaging in diplomacy. in that same speech, president trump announced, or had applauded, the withdrawal of the united states and the human rights council and the u.s. had withdrawn support for the international accord. as if to foot stomp the fact that we are not going to raise the human rights issue with kim jong-un or north korea anymore. it may be true for some countries, and in some national security priorities, to separate human rights issues from the national security issue, the hard issues. and there is a sense in the national security community that s
