we structured the national cyber strategy to be aligned with our national security strategy that came out about a year ago. it mirrors the four pillars of the national security strategy. pillar one is protect americans. the homeland and the american way of life. really about what are we doing internally to protect. we have three main elements under the national cyber strategy under pillar one. the first one is federal cybersecurity. what are we doing to enhance and defend the federal networks and systems that many of our citizens depend on, that hold your data and information that you use for all your government interactions with the government? what are we doing internally and how are we enhancing our capabilities? there's a call in there to move towards more shared services. how are we doing things more collectively? how are we moving to cloud services? both of those are -- we need to get some agencies, candidly, out of the business of doing cybersecurity themselves. we are never going to be able to -- i will talk later about work force. we are never going to be able to attract all

welcome indeed to the national constitution center and to independence national historical park.ongratulations to president george w. bush and mrs. laura bush for your liberty medal award. the award reflects your significant work with veterans, supporting especially their transition to civilian life. in a country where we have citizen soldiers, the transition from military service back to civilian life is important and not always easy. thank you president and measures bush for your devotion to veterans. earlier today -- [applause] earlier today, national park service staff rangers rang the centennial bell atop independence hall 21 times as a highlight of programs to honor veterans, especially on the centennial of armistice day. they had to climb many stairs and a steep letter to the open air tower and tug on a big rope in unison with bells across the nation. the independence hall bell rang with others on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in honor of those who served in world war i, and indeed, all wars. today's bell tolling was a solemn nod in a program called "bell

as the national commander in the sacred resting place, arlington national cemetery.g.i. forum is a congressionally chartered veterans service organization. representing active duty military, families, veterans for advocacy and civil rights, access to earn benefits, a care, and access to good education. today is the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. let us remember the sacrifices of those veterans who fought in the war to end all wars. let us not forget the 400,000 men and women whose final resting place is here on these hollowed grounds. let us recognize the over 20 million veterans that live among us today. let us reflect on the fact that only 1% of the country serves in the military. let us remember that their service provides the very freedom that everyone in this great country enjoys, daily, without notice. my fellow veterans, we, the g.i. forum stand with you and salute you. i encourage each and everyone of you to continue to work together to ensure our military and veterans and military families are always taken care of and heard. i urge each of you,

we look forward to national understanding of national threat and risk and coordination across the national government and private sector to detect and respond to cyber threats wherever they occur. we serve as an operations integrator focused on organization specific and cross-sector risk-management support to enhance the resiliency of our nation's critical infrastructure. our national cyber security and communications center, provides a broad range of cape annuals to capabilities to assist private sector entities across all sectors of critical infrastructure, including energy, finance, communications, emergency services, and health care. it is best to think of it as a point of fusion for cyber security threat detection, response, and coordination for both the public and the private sectors. we bring together the intelligence community, law enforcement, sector-specific agency, international parters, the private sector, and the department of defense, to carry out this mission. the challenge of effectively coordinating homeland security and homeland defense missions is not new. but it is ampl

the risks well i don't think there will be returning to the pre-war nationalism the national extent nationalism in the years before nine hundred fourteen before the first world war but there are of course indications that nationalism is on the rise again i mean if you look at some states such as hungry poland and in particular the us america first i mean the writing is on the war and so we should be considered what lessons should we learn from the mistakes of people back then well i think first of course the first world will point and highlights the dangers of nationalism extreme nationalism and impurities in. and second if you look at the at the outbreak of the first world war. you can ruin that what. what impact misconceptions misunderstandings between the governments of major powers can have so what you can learn is we need more empathy we need openness we need open diplomacy we need talk we need negotiations we need to understand the of them. you know it's been a century of course since the end of world war one this is a conflict that's. referring to some of the some argue that

it's the oscars, grammys, national book awards. ♪ the national book award identifies great work.is promoting the value of people thinking about the most considered and put forth thoughts of other people that we can engage into better conversation. we want to offer an invitation into literature. i think one of the most important thing is that literature can do right now is help us understand just like what it means to be human. the book foundation exists to tell us about the literature in america, to expand its audience and to enjoy the books and culture. it means we have to be all over the place and go where the readers are. our programs are designed to go out into the world. giving people access for free there is all these ways the book foundation is that we all have the right to be. our goal was to pick five books thaat the book foundation will e promoting and that effectively speak to mass incarceration. this year we also want to focus so we are going to get people reading that much value in the data they honor. there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm on the book award and we w

the constitution recognized tribal nations as domestic southern nations, and -- sovereign nations, and for the first roughly 100 years, the united states government, you know, felt with tribal nations on the treaty basis that you mentioned. directly treating them as governments. that stopped after the civil war. from that point, from the 1870s, '80s, after the plains wars forward, basically federal policy, the treaty positive was done away -- process was done away with, and indian issues were handled by the congress and the president. personally, i would like to see it go back to that process, but if you're asking me what are the odds of that happening in the united states, unfortunately, i would say slim. but we're still living -- i'm not as familiar with the first nations in canada, so i can't speak intelligently on that. i struggle to speak intelligently on end grab case law -- indian case law, because in terms of legal matters the relationship between tribal nations and the federal government is one of c the most complicated legal matters that we have, and i still don't understand

it also means the national guard and reserves. based on what the capabilities and the timing are, we choose from any one of those three components. the same is true when we do disaster relief. when we had hurricanes hit this summer, i was down in north carolina. you would have seen regular army, national guard, and reserve troops. it is not anything unusual. it just depends on who is available, what is available, and the time needed to resource the mission. missy: so are you saying that there were not national guard troops that would have been available either to deploy on short notice or wouldn't have had the right skill sets for the mission that was there on the border? sec. esper: it may have been both. i haven't gone through the numbers. the army staff gets its requirements. we resource them to see what capabilities are available in the national guard versus the active component. as you may know, most of are combat service support resources are not in the national guard. they are actually in the army reserve and the regular ar

we are now at the beginning of a national. -- national period of thanksgiving. as we give thanks for all the blessings we have been bestowed, it really has been blessing after blessing after blessing. we are all very thankful. we also pray for those in need, especially our fellow citizens impacted by the devastating wildfires in california. i just came back, i've never seen anything like it. probably nobody has. all hearts are joined with theirs. we give thanks for the family and loved ones who enrich our lives, lift our spirits, and fill our days with joy. , whove thanks to god continues to shed his almighty grace upon this magnificent land that we all love so much. we are truly blessed to be americans. this is an incredible time for our country. prosperity is soaring all across our land. we are especially thankful for the men and women who protect our families and to protect our -- who protect our flag. as we gather together this week with those we love, we share our gratitude to all of those who spend this holiday very far from home, serving in our military o

so reservations, national forests but also wildlife refugees, national park units and so on. the fact that he came from a background in a state with so much public lands and reservations, also that he was put on the house interior committee and all of its subcommittees, helped build his resume, and also gave him great experience to become an exceptional interior secretary. he gained a spot in the kennedy camelot kennedy white house. certainly his work and interest in public lands and being a westerner helped in those endeavors, with the exception of really only a few cases secretaries of the interior have always been westerners. that's where the majority of the public lands the department's holdings are held and he was young and progressive and pro-kennedy, that certainly helped. in the presidential election, arizona swung actually for nixon but in the primary he had gotten arizona to swing for kennedy instead of johnson so kennedy appreciated that. so he became interior secretary and was one of just three interior secretaries in history to lead it for eight years or more. th

about what are the wealthiest nations in sort of the poorest nations and let's just take g.d.p. by g.d.p. right a great to be about thank you so the wealthiest nations are outside of the u.s. that is china germany japan and closely followed by the u.k. the poorest nation actually probably not many of our viewers have maybe even heard of tuvalu which used to be former ellis island in the polynesian islands but the poorest nations are actually a lot of the former communist countries and sub-saharan africa and then good and then in the middle east the big bright star of course is saudi arabia ok and. if you look at growth rates in the different regions you know sure. how are they looking for growth rates going forward yes and some of the hot spots coming up actually there are some of the emerging nations and then there are just growth rates so one of the most outstanding growth rates that continues and as outpaced all nations actually is australia and that's really due to their brilliant immigration policies to get into australia i mean you have to have a certain network you have t

between agencies and the public and private divide, a whole of nation nation approach is needed. at we recognize this national effort challenging organizational divides across the federal government and between the public and private sectors that impede our ability to provide for collective defense in cyber space. collective defense, that we face in a tech lodge cal are shared and the only model on the way forward. threats do not confirm and neither should we. we move forward to national understanding to threat and risk and coordinate across the federal government and private sectors to detect and respond to cyber threats wherever they occur. we serve as an information and operations integrator focused op delivering organization specific and cross sector risk management support. our national cyber security communications center provides a broad range of capabilities across all sectors of critical infrastructure, including energy, finance, communications, emergency services and health care. it's best to think of it as a point of fusion for cybering security threat detection respon

what the nations came up with. a league of nations and the united nations.he whole point being that nations need to come together. i do not mean the leaders so much as the people. people need to take personal responsibility for being in this world and what it means. whatever their religion. really have ato spiritual identity. you could be an atheist and have a spiritual identity. just a good spirit and to take personal responsibility for that. she putroosevelt, together the declaration of human rights. person i think the only and definitely the first person where there was a spontaneous standing ovation from all the representatives in the united nations. they knew her heart was good. my point for this thanksgiving muchat we could invest so in peace. military, could you imagine, if we did not have war, what they could be doing with other militaries? a be working together with irrigation and fighting fires -- ? what could we do to help each other? that is the whole point. host: that is kathy in washington. gary in florida, you are next good morning. to wish am

and so that's kind of the endpoint of the decline of national identity. in a democracy you also need national identity because i democracy doesn't mean that you are culturally uniform. disarming everybody agrees but have to agree on certain basic things began to grant certain basic institutions. they have to grit on the legitimacy of those institutions and have to be willing to accept failure through those institutions if they don't get their immediate goals. that's the only condition under which a democracy can work. i think american national identity has been weakened over the years and it's really, it's the work of both the left and the right. so on the left there is a certain, as i said i think identity politics in this country has perfectly legitimate roots in a lot of existing social injustice, but there's a certain interpretation of that kind of identity politics that says that the essence of the american order if patriarchy or racism or that the whole country was built on the foundations and he continues to this day and there's really not much we

pershing lies in the paternity of the nations who are quite dead and the slopes of the arlington nationalhe enduring tradition that never dies. john joseph pershing, general of the army, like others before him in the long line of american giants, rose to leadership and met its challenges at precisely the moment his country needed him so that the destiny of the two, maine and nation were part of the same momentous adventure. his mission was to create an army and he did. a mighty army without which the great war could not have been one. at the same time an army cast in a unique and authentic american mold, a forerunner of the superbly powerful force which is today a modern army. in this he handed down to his countrymen military pride more than anything else he touched a string of glory in his people and perhaps more than any man in his time he awakened them to a vision of their own greatness. ♪ the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming ♪ so prepare, say a prayer ♪ send a word, to be where ♪ ♪ the yanks are coming, the yanks are coming ♪ ♪ will be over, were coming over ♪ we won't come back

part of what makes a nation a nation is the idea of shared memories. part of those shared memories is forgetting other memories, forgetting other aspects of history in order to cohere around a kind of story. we talked about this whole part of collective memory and the relation to nationalism. here today we're going to see it at work. that's what this lecture today is about. all right, so just to review where we have come from and where we are going to next. we have talked about definitions and just to review this sort of duel part to it, the passive sense of american exceptionalism which is a kind of model, right. so this definition, the position assumes that the u.s. has in some way achieved what all others nations are seeking or that the u.s. is called to achieve and so to model what all others are seeking. but not to a certain sense to intervene. this is the passive model. the active model, this idea has been sent on a mission, right, the position assumes that our calling is to spread our blessings and those can be defined in any number of ways, but

trying to replace nationalism with regional nationalism. look at the united states, the people that say that nationalism is bad or nationalism is racist, i think they just aren't necessarily proud of the country that the united states is. they're focused on all the bad that the united states has done. they don't look at the positives of how the united states has changed the world. >> tucker: well, exactly. professor, such a nice explanation. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: it's been a tough week. been a tough year. when things get tough, we break the glass in case of emergency and invite on mike rowe. this time we're going all out. we're bringing his mother. what is she doing on our set? you will find out after the break. you're headed down the highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges. how ma

because this, a national interest, it is a national interest that the man's a response from both theeral government and from private sector. recently we have seen many prominent technology companies take ownership of the threat posed by foreign adversaries or export tech platforms for malign purposes. just last week facebook announced it had removed more than 550 pages and 250 accounts that attempted to grab readers attention, drive web traffic to additional sites and manipulate consumers. and this week twitter announced it was shutting down almost 4000 accounts attributed to the criminally it an agency almost 800 accounts attributed to iranian actors. all this is a good thing, and we hope these kinds of private sector actions will continue. we must agree and must not allow foreign adversaries the ability to use our indigenous and privately produced technologies to divide us as a nation. and beyond the positive actions that these companies have recently taken, we would welcome greater partnerships with the technology sector. we recognize that our intelligence warnings and assessments
