our nation's first national defense strategy in 10 years. i believe it is a moral obligation for leaders to layout quickly to their subordinates in the department of defense what it is we expect of them. is designed to is designed to t america's vital national interest. this defense strategy was framed, as noted by the dean by president trump's national security strategy. just to show you what i mean, that it is inside the framework of that national security strategy, specifically where it states to protect the american people, the homeland and the american way of life. it goes on to say and to reserve peace through strength. those are words that of the national security strategy and we carry those themes inside the pentagon where we say what does that mean for us? national security is much more than just defense. this is our part of the responsibility. america's military reclaims an era of strategic purpose. we are alert to the realities of a changing world and attentive to protect our values and the countries that stand with us. america's

we are serious in this nation.these rights, if they are to become real, and justice must prevail. in equal sharing of society , benefits and burdens, advantages and disadvantages, but today the scales of justice lean in favor of the few who hold societies benefits and advantages, while many are weighted down with life's burdens and disadvantages. my father and so many others marched to redeem the soul of the nation. the march was for values and -- enshrined in the constitution, but the nation seems to have abandoned these values when it comes to certain citizens. so if we truly honor his life and work, we must join in his cause for a revolution of values. his call for a revolution of values was also a call for a revolution of the scales of justice. let me explain that. as he looked over the landscape of our collective lives and he saw the great divide between poverty and wealth, and declared, "that is not just." he saw thousands of working people displaced from their jobs and reduced incomes as a result of automati

national security interests. chinese investment has an appropriately high priority for close scrutiny because china seeks to compete strategically against the united states in multiple spheres. military, diplomatic, and economic. using all elements of the state, including state-owned enterprises in that competition. current legislation provides significant authority to block troublesome chinese acquisitions. as you noted, mr. chairman, the first acquisition unwound by a president was under george h.w. bush in 1990. the acquisition of threecom did not proceed under george w. bush, and president trump block ed the semi-conductor by a chinese group. as you consider new legislation, i would be sure to address actual gaps in the authority. there is particular concern that chinese companies may be using creative legal structures to conclude deals short of ownership and control that could nonetheless impair u.s. national security. i believe this is a very valid area for stricter scrutiny in the united states. i would be

harry at tubman was a national monument before it was made into a national historical park. soldiers in ohio. , the people i worked with in the park service and its leaders during the obama administration were very, very excited about this and wanted to have the highest scholarship. there are times in the park service where issues, for example was not until the early 2000's that the park service was able to fully discuss slavery as the basis for the civil war. and so that took a transition in the park service, the opening i think that the secretary has talked about. so they're going to be these tensions. there is a time now that who knows what we can say at this point, but there will always be people that care deeply about this and the park service i am sure who will keep working to tell the full story. >> next question please.

the line is often given as -- a national debt will be to us a national blessing. that rendition though was designed by hamilton's enemies to paint him as a debt optimist in a country that was solidly pessimistic about sovereign debt. the part left out of the quotation, the part, showed that hamilton was a debt realist. it consists of just five words. "if it is not excessive." so, hamilton believed the national debt would be a blessing if it was kept within reasonable bounds. a concept to which we will return in due time. but first, it is important to understand the context of the debt as hamilton understood it. he was not advocating the government should borrow money to stimulate the economy or to transfer wealth to the poor, or to jimmy income inequality. hamilton was arguing for the eventual prepayment of debt already incurred by the state and federal government to win the american revolution. some of the burden would fall on the unborn. the unborn would receive something of value in return. political liberty. the failure to repay the debt to foreigners, it woul

national security. all of these policy shifts and announcements have happened and are happening at a time when we as a nation are coming to terms with las vegas, what happened in manhattan, southerland springs, texas. these are just some to name a few. this is all happening against the backdrop of a president who uses the power of his digital footprint to bully communities, including american muslim communities almost daily. today, like i mentioned earlier, president trump is going to be announcing his national security strategy. from what we know, his strategy will focus on four areas. defending the homeland, america prosperity, advancing american influence through peace and strength. one passage of the draft strategy reads "the united states rejects bigotry, a persian, and seeks a future built on our values as one american people, and activity and concerned american citizenry is a fundamental requirement for a free and resilient nation. for generations our society has protected free press, free speech

national that has become excessive. it is now larger than the nations annual gdp. the nominal national that stayed about the same during hamilton's tenure as treasury secretary. strong economic and population growth meant that dropped dramatically. thereafter, thanks to the constitutions rules about taxation, like, don't borrow without having a path to repay the debt, the national that increased as a percent of gdp only during war and depression and after territorial acquisitions like the louisiana purchase. after each of those borrowing binges, economic growth and budget surpluses reversed the trend. as recently as the end of the 1990's, the u.s. debt to gdp ratio improved so much so that at the end of bill clinton's term, there was concern that government bonds would be completely extinct for the second time in u.s. history. one of those bond traders going to do? what is the fed going to do? but as you know, that was not to be. debt optimists swept into power and there were punitive wars on drugs and terror. they borrowed and spent in order to win votes, taxing a

of the executive order 13780 protecting the nation from terrorist entry into the united states was a collaborative effort between the doj and dhs to respond to the directive to provide information to the american people regarding the number of foreign nationals charged with or convicted of terrorism related offenses were removed from the united states based on terrorism related or other national security reasons. the justice department's national security division maintains a list of individuals convicted of internationa interl terrorism related charges in u.s. federal courts between september 11, 2001 and december 31 of 2016. as indicated in the report as of december 312016 there are 549 individuals on the list of convictions of triggers on international terrorism related offenses. subsequent analysis of those 549 individuals convicted of international terrorism related offenses determined that approximately 73% or 402 of these individuals were foreign-born. a further breakdown of the citizenship status of these individuals at the time of the respective convictions shows that 254 we

i mean, but a real national strategy.it ought to -- it requires leadership from the dni, requires leadership from the white house and we've got to commit ourselves to that with resources. and yes, dni changed. cyber has changed the way we do everything, know the least of all how we do counterintelligence and i think we now have to begin to say, we hold precious the freedom of the press, as well we should, but what we find is, the very freedoms that we hold precious, our enemies are using. it's sort of like, they're going to use the weight of our privileges against us. and so, when you realize that somebody like the russians are using the black lives matter movement or white supremacist on social media to sew discontent, it troubles me because i feel like we haven't voted the time, attention and resources that we have to devote to deal with that. >> host: right, as you know, you held the position, also, where you were focused as sort of being a national security advisor for homeland security. and we have mr. boss there and
