answering questions from the assembled press, president trump and the roosevelt room along with her pelican senators tom cotton of arkansas and davide of georgia, announcing the raise act. i would cut the number of legal immigrants allowed into the united states by about 50% to about five and a thousand a year and it would emphasize those with strong language skills and other marketable skills to try and reach wages among american workers as well as immigrants. please stay tuned to fox news channel and this fact station for continuing coverage of this story, i'm jon scott in new york. with the president they're making that announcement, once again legal immigration back on the table, a system that as you heard from senator cotton hasn't been changed in more than 50 years. certainly, molly's current guests will want to talk more about that. >> molly: you, how fortunate our way to have these guests to comment on this? we have elvira salazar and michael kelly mary you were able to listen to the president and senators speaking about these major changes in immigration policy in america. the three major points he talked about when he was

roosevelt room speaking at the veterans event. >> tremendous strides, thank you very much, david, we appreciate it. the veterans appreciate it. pleased to announce another historic break through that will expand va services to many more patients and veterans. we will do this through telehealth services. it's what it's called, telehealth services, we're expanding the ability of veterans to connect with their va health care team from anywhere using mobile application on the veterans own phone or the veterans own computer. this will significantly expand access to care for our veterans especially for those who need help in the area of mental health, which is a bigger and bigger request. and also in suicide prevention. it will make a tremendous difference for the veterans in rural locations in particular. we're launching the mobile app that will allow va patients to schedule and change their appointments at va facilities using their smartphones. so this is something they were never able to do, technology has given us this advantage but unfortunately we have not taken advantage of that until now. we're working tirelessly to keep ou

david brinkley would write, he was home. the victorious leader of a victorious nation. in a matter of weeks, it became an issue of bitter dispute for rewriting history. by then, franklin roosevelt himself had vanished from the scene. cheers for his last speech to congress was the last year see her. my book takes the view that they were well and truly earned. thank you. [applause] >> which we know about fdr's thoughts about the postwar world and his concerns that churchill wanted to go back to the imperium that he wasn't really willing to give up on his vision of world order. >> that had a lot to do with the tensions that began to unravel the friendship and partnership of churchill and roosevelt. because churchill was very concerned as a matter of military proposition with the balkans and eastern mediterranean and ultimately with the suez canal. he continually pressed for an invasion of the greek island of rome which sounded ridiculous for american strategists who wanted to get to berlin by the straightest possible line from britain to northern europe. did not want to send american troops into the mediterranean any more than they had to. this became a theme of a relationship tha

roosevelt room. the president is there. represent the most comprehensive reform to our immigration system in half a century. i want to thank senators tom cotton and davidtremendous work in putting together this historic and very vital proposal. as a candidate, i campaigned on creating a merit based immigration system that protects u.s. workers and taxpayers and that is why we're here today, merit based. the raise act, the raise act will reduce poverty and increase wages and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. it will do this by changing the way the united states issues green cards to nationals from other countries green cards provide permanent residency and work authorization and fast track to citizenship. for decades the united states has operated a low skilled immigration system. issuing record numbers of green cards to low wage immigrants. this policy has placed substantial pressure on american workers and taxpayers and community resources, among those hit the hardest in recent years have been immigrants and very importantly minority workers, competing for jobs against brand-new arrivals. and it has not been fair to our people and our c

roosevelt and frederick jackson turner and the russells and remingtons and so on, very visible public culture manifestations of it, but it's also there as david rabell tells us, it's there in a lot of legislators and decision makers. so we look for that. because it is, it is a judgment d distorter. i don't want to say we really want to have the slash across it. but it does confuse judgment. it does set goals of a lost past that you dream of recreating, which well, good luck with that, but it may not have been that great a past anyway. so if you recreated it you might be very sad. be careful what you wish for. and these guys are sufferers from a really severe form of nostalgia and are probably beyond treatment. this is the final point. it's not called the heritage, but it is sort of heritage number five. a point of reckoning with the word of paradox coming into its own. and this is a salute to michael kammen and a spectacular person and a wonderful thinker about popular memory and also a person who served for year the -- years on the national park service board. he wrote a book called "people of paradox." i miss him. i sometimes would find mys

roosevelt, we could, in fact, go back to julius caesar. so this has been throughout history. the gentleman way in the last row, right here. >> james -- [inaudible] retired. david, you mentioned that germany, quote, had no great universities or great technical institutions. i have friends who teach at tu munich, and they tell me -- i think they're right -- they teach at great universities. so what are we missing? >> yeah. they have great technical universities. they do not have great global universities. you know, just look at the, look at the lists produced by -- the global university list is dominated by the u.s -- >> [inaudible] >> no, i said germany has great technical universities. but it doesn't have great sort of general, global universities -- >> [inaudible] >> yes. yeah, of course they are. i said with the exception of technical universities. but the more, the broader-based, you know, general universities as it were doesn't really exist in, you know -- places like hiding burg does not -- hiding berg does not attract huge flows of international students -- >> which it did in the 19th century. i mean, germany did once lead these generals, now it doesn't.
