from ukraine to croatia, old nations are breaking up, new nations are being born. and as we americans have always stood for freedom and self-determination, we should not fear the future. we should be the first to welcome them into the family of nations. [applause] [indiscernible] be gentle with him. be gentle. you know, very briefly you know gentlemen i was reminded when i flew up here to new hampshire a sense of nostalgia. a sense of nostalgia for 1968 and my friend here made it sort of complete. the demonstrators are still here. ok. everyone silent now. as i said, they all look to america as the ideal of what they too might one day become. in the far east, however nationalism has taken on a different and harder aspect. the rising economic power of japan has filed a claim to displace the united states as the dominant power of the 21st century. in europe, many of the ancient states are signing up to exchange their national birthright for a limited partnership in an economic co-op called the ec. in holland, a conservative prime minister is today being pressed to lea

you can look across human history, nation to nation, you will not see a life expectancy increase of that kind in such a short period of time. the second thing i'm interested in is, women in the parliament, from zero to 28% in 14 years. our first woman came to congress 99 years ago. we've gone from zero to 28% in -- zero to 20% in 100 years. they've gone from zero to 28% in 15 years. that's pretty impressive. i agree with i think a bipartisan consensus on this panel. we've got to maintain this progress. everything we do should be conditions-based, not calendar-based. i think it's ok to have a plan. but then you need to adjust it, based on the reality. i know you encouraged the white house to make some adjustments in terms of the authorities granted, u.s. troops during calendar year 2015. after consideration, they did grant some changes in the authorities. so that's good. we have to have a conditions-based approach. personally i think this is important for afghanistan, it's important because of the investment we've made, it's also important because i think there's a powerful narrative abou

we're flaring a number of local and national politicians.e're excited about the upcoming event. >>> nbc 10 breaking news. >> it is 11:30. we're following breaking news throughout the morning and it is a big one. democrats are coming to philadelphia. this morning the democratic national committee selected the city of brotherly love to host the 2016 convention in july of 2016. let's go to doug shimell live at city hall getting reaction to the big announcement. what a boon for the city. >> reporter: exactly. philadelphia has been very good to the democratic party over the decades. in particular to president barack obama delivering huge margins in philadelphia that helped him carry pennsylvania for his election and re-election. so those things aren't forgotten when the democratic national committee hands out big economic plums like the july 2016 convention. now, the head of the democratic national committee, debbie wasserman schultz met with president barack obama last night according to congressman bob brady. the president had questions about p

army federal marshals and the federalized alabama national guard at that point that group had swol ton 8,000 foot soldiers who were escorted safely for 54 miles from selma to montgomery. by the time the march reached the steps of the state capitol, that group had grown to approximately 25,000 people strong there on those steps in montgomery. mr. speaker, instead of bringing the campaign to search for voting rights to a halt, the photographs and blurry television images of that attack on bloody sunday galvanized the national attention. in fact the first march was a catalyst for action. just five short months after the first march congress had passed an president johnson had signed into law the voting rights act. mr. speaker, we as a nation must do more to ensure voting rights are proteblingt for all americans and in doing so we must remember the sacrifice of those individuals who came before us and work sod tirelessly to make a difference and create voting rights equal. it is truly a privilege for me personally to stand before you as congress recognizes these brave men and women and the

there can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. it is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard. in offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend i dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression i could wish -- that they will control the usual current of the passions or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. but if i may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good -- that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism -- this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare by which they have been dictated. how far in the discharge of my official duties i have been guided by the principles which have been delineated the public records and other evidences of my conduct must witness to you and to the world.
