national parks are the nations treasures. our public lands belong to every american. every american should be able to enjoy the beauty of our parks and public lands. as chair, i made this issue a top priority. the first hearing that i chaired for this subcommittee focused on making our public lands more accessible for people with disabilities. i've fought to increase funding for the every kid outdoors program. it allows every fourth grader in their family to go to our national parks for one year for free. national parks matter a lot to me. i grew up on a farm. for vacation, we often went to national parks. not because they are beautiful restoring, but because they were affordable. as a mother of three children, parks or a classroom, a playground, and once again a pleased to bond with family. last year, i want to go camping to zion with mike aids. i managed to navigate the recreation app. we were lucky enough to reserve a campsite for one night. we found that alternative public land site for other nights. we had a great time camping in exploring in zion. as with many a

it is not a foreign nation that would be seeding italia for, it is a domestic nation. i think that that is the question we need to look at. let me quickly go through some questions to make sure that i have confidence in these conclusions. to begin with, had there been delegates elected before but, i the cherokee nation? or is delegate teehee the first one? >> delegate teehee is the first one. if you look in historical records that might be mention of delegations going to washington d. c. but they were not elected and they were not pursuant to this treaty. >> -- >> i'm not aware of any contemporary of documents. >> there is no address authority where the congress of the house said no that is out there? okay. people have talked about the language in section seven of the treaty on whatever congress will make perusing for the same. of course, congress is defined in our constitution under article one that says that each how shall define the rules without proceeding. we also decide upon our own members. we certainly decide on our own delegates. it is true that there have bee

the 73rd national book awards.he awards are always incredibly night for those of us who books, but tonight has made extra special by the fact that we are finally back together in person. the first time since 2019. what a tremendous joy is to be able to gather together in new york city, which has been the home, the national book awards since our start in 1950, while we have missed gathering in person, something so special about the past two years has been celebrating virtually with readers from all around the country and the world to tonight's awards are once again being broadcast live for audiences everywhere. so i'd like to extend a special to viewers at home. we are grateful to you all for being here with us for one of the most exciting nights in literature. you have. we're here tonight not only to celebrate 25 extraordinary books and the writers and translators and to exceptional lifetime achievement honorees, but also to celebrate that in order for books to find their way the world, it takes a vast community of

we have a national website. olmstead 200. borg. and a national calendar of events. we have a monthly newsletter and a lively blog. we have also released a special online exhibit, frederick law olmstead landscapes for the public good in partnership with the oak spring garden foundation. you can see some of the extraordinary panels today here in this room. this program is just one of hundreds of opportunities, in-person and otherwise, around the country throughout this year because the olmstead firm operated in 47 out of 50 states. we can literally find olmstead landscapes around the country. and of course, here we are in rich olmstead territory. live from the nation's capital and coming to you straight from capitol hill, where olmstead served as the first landscape architect. it was none other than senator justin morel, a key figure in the late 19th century who invited olmstead to take on this job and with a very interesting instruction, telling him, we hope you don't watch it. the national association for olmsted parks is grateful to the architect of the capitol, wh

president biden's national security strategy details the twin national security challenges of our time. countering shared transnational challenges and outcompeting our rivals to shape the international order. as the threats have evolved, the historical distinction between homeland security and national security challenges has blurred and the role of d.h.s. has grown accordingly. meeting these challenges requires the skills and capabilities that are core competencies at d.h.s. robust collaboration with the private sector, academia and all levels of government to identify solutions to threats as soon as they emerge. strong relationships with law enforcement, emergency responders and critical infrastructure owners that allow us to quickly deliver preparedness tools. and the authority to enforce our laws at home and around the world. it depends on expertise in areas where d.h.s. is playing a critical role for our federal government. counterterrorism, cybersecurity, climate resilience, combating transnational criminal organizations, pandemic response and competition with nation states like

not foreign nations. and therefore having a special relationship with the united states. in the same decision in which it recognizes tribes as domestic dependent nations, turkey nation versus torture in 1861, the court describes that relationship is being like that of, quote a word to his guardian. close quote. in 1886 in kagame versus the united states the court recognized a substantive legal consequence to this relationship. as guardian -- the united states has power to legislate over indian affairs but also a responsibility to exercise that power to the ultimate benefits of the tribes. during most of the 19th century following the british colonial model the united states engaged in tribal governments by treaty. these treaties often provided for a session of trouble land. but they covered many other areas as well. military and political alliance, trade relations, and criminal jurisdiction, for example. in one instance, the treaty of newer trudeau in 1835, they provided for the sending of the delegates t

i, myself, have no plans of my own to organize the united nations. i will just address the basic parameters of such changes for solutions. the united nations, which emerged and the results of the second world war was still marked by the time of its creation. both for the makeup of its subsidiary bodies and institutions, nothing, for instance, other than the vision of victors and explain why the countries of germany and japan do not figure among the permanent members of the security council. in general, that critical 53 which makes reference to hostile states should be deleted from the u.n. charter. the criterion of the possession of nuclear weapons would be archaic in the new era opening up before us. the great country of india should be represented in the security council. the authority and potential of the council would also be enhanced by incorporating on a permanent basis italy, indonesia, canada, poland, brazil, mexico and egypt into this body, even if they do not possess the veto. the security council will require better support, more effective

well, i also like the korean national team, the japanese national team, they showed that if there isfor victory, if there is a will, if there is character, then it is possible even incredible matches can be won the day before, so the day before, the samurai national team, the japanese national team demonstrated this. well, in this match, korea also made a miracle, made the impossible possible, and, just like japan, gained willpower the victory, i.e., missing from the clearly discussed from now korea from portugal, the japanese from uh missed from the spaniards and before that, they also won a uh-willed victory with the germans, and here too we understand that portugal, which came out well, almost the main team, that is, ronaldo was there there were such footballers who, perhaps, do not start for fernando santos, but still in the portuguese national team by name, they are one of the strongest, just like in brazil, just like in france, but we see that all the same those teams that do not have such powerful world-class stars still make a sensation. squirrels make a sensation. by the way

trans national threats. first, counterterrorism. which continues to be among the most significant transnational issues. we are confronted with an increasingly complex and dynamic set of terrorism challenges both at home and around the world. challenges that require dhs and our state, locals tribal and territorial partners to continue to evolve our counterterrorism capabilities and expand our capacity to prevent all forms of targeted violence. the familiar set of terrorism threats died to known terrorist groups like isis and al-qaeda demands we const our use of modern technology, the screening and vetting capabilities of cvp. tsa and our sharing practice with partners across the globe. our automated targeting system global, for example, is a real-time passenger screening system developed for use by our partner nations to assist international officials in making key security decisions and enforcing their respective laws. the challenge of domestic violent extremism has emerged as one of the greatest terrorism r

i, myself, have no plan of my own for reorganizing united nations.l just address the basic parameters of such changes as are ready for solution. the united nations, which emerged from the results and the lessons of the second world war, is still marked by the period of its creation. this is true, both for the makeup of its subsidiary bodies and auxiliary institutions, and with respect to its functioning. nothing, for instance, other than the division into victors and vanquished explains why such countries, as germany and japan, do not figure among the permanent members of the security council. in general, i feel that article 53, which makes reference to hostile states, should be immediately deleted from the un charter. also, the criterion of possession of nuclear weapons would be archaic in the new era opening up before us. the great country of india should be represented in the security council. the authority and potential of the council would also be enhanced by incorporating, on a permanent basis, of italy, indonesia, canada, poland, brazil, mexic

consultation has to be a two-way nation to nation exchange.eers and applause] that relationship should striving to reach consensus among the tribes. [applause] it should be adequate time for ample communication. relationship repair of public record for what's transpierd during those consultations and tribal nations should know how their contributions influence the decision making and this is a new presidential memorandum, requires all relevant federal agencieses to get annual training on tribal consultation process. let me say that again. [applause] all federal agencies -- so, folks, this is a whole of change approach. my administration also continues in all available authorities including the antiquities act to protect sacred tribal lands.

wade in the nation. [applause] that came about through prayer and because of faithful pastors who were preaching. we were very effective. i want to put up the first light. so effective were christians in going to the polls, that people turned out in the 2016 election. they were very sharp hillary clinton. 91% of people who were spiritually active turned out and they gave a chance to donald trump in that election, primarily because of the supreme court appointments. in 2016, 60% of the general public turned out. 91% or 9% of the american population got out and voted. we have the result of overturning roe v. wade this last year because of that election. in 2020, we saw again those who were spiritually active, governmentally engaged, turned out. 97 percent voted for donald trump. his vote totals went up with those who were spiritually active and governmentally engaged. when that happened in 2016, there was a decision made by the progressive left that this would never happen again. they started this effort t

of the national team and divided the nation. critics of both the nato say the iconic yellow jersey has become tarnished by it's close association with the far right movement. one of those critics is former player walter casa grande. he was part of the brazil squat at the 1986 woke up was looking to follow up with digital god, what kinds of the cities. so this is lou. i'm a real, i was, i was 16 love democracy. does use that gives us muslims of that i got from you sick with strata group. lucas, it's been with that just is this. oh, what was the brigand suit was? i'm to see that was the who's so, however, other former players such as from the lenient and revolving, have openly shown their support for both on not even active players have announced their support for the far right politician. ne, more priscilla star player shared a video backing ball scenario just a few days before the 2022 elections guy. and yet he wonders why the national team isn't as popular across the board in the country. adoption of the shirt by the radical right inspired a campaign to re embrace the white jersey use

national forests. he said, are set apart for economic ends, and their use for recreation is a by product. properly be secured only insofar as it does not interfere with the economic efficiency of forest management. national parks encounter us are set apart primarily in order to preserve to the people for all time the opportune, peculiar kind of enjoyment and recreation, not measurable in economic terms, but to be obtained only from the remarkable scenery which they contain unquote. despite the sharp distinctions he felt must be made between policies for the two entities. olmsted's involvement in forestry matters never ceased in 1934 or forester for the united states forest service wrote. perhaps no single man and contemporary in his american life has given more constructive thought to the of forestry matters than frederick law olmsted. as early as 1903, long before he moved to california, olmstead devoted been sought by the outdoor league of california in their efforts to preserve the calaveras big tre

the nation to nation relationships i am going to make sure that happens.ope our work in the past two years has demonstrated that we are meeting that commitment and that's why i relaunched this, leaning and elevated event into a white house tribal nations summit, because after a previous administration failed to convene any event on the scale on my watch, russia and the new era of advancing the way for the federal government to work with tribal nations and it starts by appointing native americans to believe the front lines of the administration starting with the secretary, we followed the appointees across the biden administration including the federal courts. the entire administration and the advanced economic agenda making historic investments in the country and i might add they are long overdue. facing the pandemic and economic crisis that this impacted the tribal nations i invested more than $32 billion in the american rescue plan, the largest one time ever direct investment in the country in american history. during the pandemic native americans were c

team of morocco it became only the fourth african national team and the first by the way the nationalom africa i mean the first from the northern part precisely because before that cameroon is not gal ghana there were three teams that are considered to be the top in african and now morocco has reached this stage for the first time in history, and well, in my opinion , portugal should pass morocco without problems because , after all, the cautious football that the spanish team chose in the match with morocco is too pragmatic count luis enrique and in the end how it paid off in the penalty shootout, they lost four out of five penalty shootouts, this is the worst score in the world for the spaniards, but in the main time there were almost no moments, in fact one shot on the plane and that chance of arabia from offside when he hit in the last seconds, even though he folded the ball after hitting the bar and the opponent. well, there are other pairs that , again, to a large extent, due to the status of these national teams, we could expect there under a certain coincidence of circumstance

freezing, but special thanks to national park service, national parks foundation, which takes such greatof our national parks, including right here tonight at president's park. for 100 years, americans have gathered at the white house to celebrate the holiday season with the lighting the national christmas tree through seasons of struggle and strife, progress and prosperity for a century and counting. we've come together in a spirit of unity and joy, hope and light, and so we do today with an eternal spirit of our nation as well. earlier this week, jill unveiled the theme of this year's holiday at the white house: "we the people," the very idea of america, the first words of our constitution, the beating heart of our democracy and enduring reminder that america has many, many strengths, but our greatest strength is america's standing united. and during this holiday season, we reflect on our blessings that despite our differences, there are far more things that unite us as one america, common values like liberty, opportunity, dignity, respect and honor and compassion in the season of fell

our nation is rooted in ableism. in the early united states disability served as a rationale for exclusion from the privileges and obligations of citizenship. so a reminder we've talked about a variety of different definitions of ableism in our class, but for our purposes today ableism is the discrimination of and prejudice against people with disabilities. and i said, i'm going to suggest that this is our nation is rooted in this discrimination and prejudice. my second big claim today is that our nation is rooted in disability rights activism. in the early united states disabled americans challenged these restrictions and they fought for their rights as citizens. okay, so let's go on to the first the first claim here. let's start with how ableism shaped the founding of our nation. and to demonstrate this i'd like to focus on early national law. this is a context where we can really clearly see ableism at work. the first thing to know when looking at american law after the revolution is that it was deeply rooted in t

we get our job done, we care about this nation, republican or democrat. we love our nation. we want to keep it safe. i commend you for the time that you have been chairman and the way that you conducted yourself and the way we become friends and the way we've been able to keep our eyes focused on the mission despite all the -- that seems to be higher than ever this east days. good for you for what you've done for this committee. good for all of your members here who have put your partisanship aside and do what's right for this country. that's a me is a very important thing. we may often disagree, sometimes with strongly, i believe this committee has demonstrated our passion for securing the company's bipartisan -- i want to thank my committee staff who has spent countless hours developing oversight legislation and policy to secure the united states. i'm incredibly grateful for their service and dedication. many are with me here today. we are not going to single him out. others when i will. this person has been with me some beginning, now my staff director. entire years i've

series of post-match penalties with the sensation of this world cup, the japanese national team, onethe sensations of this world cup. it was the japanese who opened the score in the game in the 43rd minute. to restore parity already after the break , ivan perishevych struck the opponent's goal, the score remained tied in the main and referee-compensated time, and two overtime periods also did not help to determine the winner of the team was scored by a penalty shot, where the main hero was the goalkeeper of the croatian national team, livakovic, who saved three eleven-meter shots, so it was 3:1 in favor of the checkered in the series. croatia's opponent in the quarterfinals will be decided tonight, and japan, having remembered a bright victory over the german national team , leaves the world cup today. what 21: 00 kyiv time, there will be another match of the one- eighth final of the world cup, we are not expecting a confrontation between the national teams of brazil and south korea. favorites or not the main favorite of the tournament is suitable for this match, she is confident tha

i just want to spend one minute on the centennial of both the wealth of nations in 1876 and the nation's antennal. you said -- centennial. you said americans began to reinvent adam smith's legacy. and important ways? guest: at this point in 1876 smith has sort of faded into the background as an intellectual figure in the history of economics. he is not read because people are looking to him as a january resource for intellectual growth -- as a genuine resource for intellectual growth and theories. he is like a pedestal or monument history. he becomes much more an icon or intellectual authority more than he is an intellectual resource. in 1876, you have this moment where the nation is going on a trajectory of intense protectionism. the free traders especially in the north are kind of doubling down on this idea that america has been and should be a nation of free trade. how do they make that case? they can make it by making kind of technical jargony policy arguments about what free trade will do, but they can also appeal to the father of the science of clinical economy, adam smith -- polit

next is to win the african cup of nation. there's a feeling that there before katara 2022, and then after retiring 22 that now anything is possible and they've shattered the glass ceiling. we hope to african teams to arab teams that they too can go forward in the world cup. and perhaps when i've taught, not only that, i think the coach has brought so much unity and also a symbol. we've seen players from africa and their ad wasn't working or playing in the euro believes, but we rarely seen an arab coach or an african coach head or manage a premiership club or in the working in the european league or the french league. and here we're seeing with the success of this team that anything is possible, not just for the players, but also for the coach. downstairs i saw little girl, she wasn't holding the picture of a player, but she was holding the picture of the coach. the coach has really brought so much inspiration for so many people across this country, but also across africa and the arab world. thank you very nicholas huck. thank

will do any honor to that putin belongs to that nation. he is nobody, because there are so many such people, what is russian, it is a mixture of many , many, uh, ancestors, let's say so, of different nationalities, and many of them are already won't find its roots and really turned into nobody it 's not like that it's not it's not ethnic identity it's more like ideological political some i don't know mental probably even identity i don't know who putin is i'm begging you questions well ukrainians you don't need to know that if a person who knows everything, but i will continue anyway. so when we talk about elsa, we are talking about the idea of ​​real, how much is there this desire to identify oneself, revive the language, revive the customs, revive the culture, revive the clothes, revive what surrounds elsa and the neighboring former tribes, how much this is serious, but the question is very important. i think there are already young people who say oh, and i want to know who my grandmother was, tell me about my grandmother, who was my gra

our national security was placed in peril. times have changed and japan is the bedrock ally of the united states today. i can't help but wonder if we learned the lessons of pearl harbor and be caught unprepared by another attack. we are not ready. and an air force that continues to see come pat fire power. i am pleased to have rejected reckless niter objectives proposed by the biden administration. this bill authorize is 20% increase in ship construction and rejects an ill advised strategy and blocks poison pills that were tacked on to this legislation. i look forward to the next congress where we can assert a revised trajectory and need to assure our partners and allies by deterring future agetions. i thank ranking member rogers for his leadership and adopting his vision today, that has real growth for defense and thank chairman smith to reach bipartisan consensus. this is a good bill and advances the national security of the united states. i urge all members to support the bill. i thank the gentleman for recognizing me and i
