there are those who advocate a kind of tribal nationalism and ethno nationalism a nationalism suited for what these advocates call a caucasian christian nation. but a few europeans have understood america better than some of today's americans do. prime minister margaret thatcher the most churchillian britain since churchill himself. correctly said this european nations were made by history. the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy the heart of which is the doctrine of universal natural rights is always and directly pertinent to us foreign policy. henry kissinger has argued that americans believe that our principles are universally true implies that governments based on other principles are less than legitimate. like are as it were on permanent probation. our founding document the declaration of independence does not mince words. it says that governments derive their just powers. they're just powers from the consent of the governed. therefore many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger is also said acutely that on the one hand americans frequent

we as a government must be prepared to invest in what is truly our national -- our nation's greatest asset. those are our public and community servants. service to others in the nation, whether it be military, national or public service is a healing, unified and patriotic act that we need a lot more of today, not less. i thank our witnesses again as well as all of the staff and the national service commission for their work, their bold ideas and their call to action for a better america and a more hopeful and optimistic future rooted in service and i look forward to the testimony. senator? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i commend you for holding this hearing today and i'm interested in the report of the national commission. i guess there are three reports. i'm not sure what i'm looking at here. but we'll sure find out. the recommendations that will come with them, the report must be subject to an open debate. we need to get everybody in on this deal and i think the american people deserve that and the hearing today is an excellent start. chairman heck, i want to make sure i'm pronouncin

we saw great smoky mountains national park. we saw shenandoah national park. we would then see mammoth cave national park and later the everglades in the expansion of acadia. so there was a real interest in desire to make the parts more accessible to all the people. so one of the assignments that grant would take was to accompany teams of park service staff. it might be landscape architects historians engineers management staff to survey proposed and planned national parks, and these are four examples of places where he traveled with with these survey teams the top left. this is the newfound gap road great smoky mountains national park right there at the north carolina, tennessee state line taken in 1931. that's kind of a scary road today. it cannot imagine what it was like as a dirt road in 1931. in 1934. he accompanied a team surveying the proposed natchez trace parkway through mississippi and took this photograph of the ruins of an antebellum plantation also on that same trip. he photographed ccc men restoring the battlefield at vicksburg. he traveled to th

national guard. according to the former chief of capitol police and acting chief of police, it was due to the optics of the national guard at the capital. we need to know what role if any optics played in the delay to provide much needed assistance to protect the capitol. by hearing from represented as of the federal agencies responsible for the intelligence and the national guard, today we expect to get clear answers to these open questions. answering these questions is critical to understanding where the breakdowns occurred on and before january 6. only by understanding this can we make sure that something like january 6 never happens again. and that's our objective here with this oversight mission. again, i appreciate the fact that we have been able to keep the politics out of this and be objective. i look forward to another instructive hearing today. thank you to the witnesses for being here. i look forward to your testimony. >> recognizing ranking member blunt for your opening statements. >> tha

national service volunteers roll up their sleeves and help meet the critical needs of the nation. they provide critical disaster relief support, the opioid crisis, preserve parks and public land, teach public school students and resource communities and much more. yet most americans do not know what national service is or how to get involved. nearly a third of millennial's state that they are unaware of existing national service opportunities. recommendations promote awareness of national service and link recruiting efforts between military and the national service such that aspiring individuals who are ineligible for service in one type of program can learn about opportunities in the other. we propose ways to improve benefits to attract more americans to this important work and recommend continued enhancements to the national service infrastructure. our goal is national service opportunities will grow to 1 million annually by 2031. to help achieve the goal the commission has proposed a new groundbreaking national service fellowship program that would let individuals choose where

creek nation council house. the building you're in your right here, this building here served as the creek nation national capital from 1878 until 1907. prior to 1878, there was a two story lag cabinet that sat on this -- that served as our national capital building, until this one was constructed in 1878. we were actually a removed tribe here to indian territory, we began the removals year is starting in 1829 and they sort of culminated in a large -- and the summer and fall months of 1836, with our arrival here to indian territory, late december of 1836, and throughout january of 1837, we arrived at fort gibson in this indian territory. for about 20 years or so, an about 1840, prior to saddling here or placing the capital here, we met as a grand council of our tribal towns until around 1861. and then after 1861, of course that's the year of the civil war for the united states and pretty much everyone and then post civil war, we had to sign a treaty as many other tribes who found themselves in the civil war. we

i myself have no plan of my own for reorganizing united nations. i will just address the basic parameters of such changes as already 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 a hostile states should be immediately deleted from the un charter. also, 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 of a, indonesia, canada, poland, brazil, mexico and egypt into th

park service many of the national monuments, national battlefields and military parks, national cemeteries. at the stroke of a pen literally doubling the size of the national park service. so here is george grant as the chief photographer with this dramatic expansion of the park service, so many, many new opportunities for him to work and to chronicle and visually document the national parks. and one of the aspects of that was he did a lot of documentation of the men of the ccc working in the national parks. we've got two examples of many of them here. the bottom left, this is a crew of ccc men clearing the snow from the upper elevation roadway at rocky mountain national park in june of 1933. and then a nice young group of young ccc men on their lunch break at glacier park national park in montana also in 1933. another thing that was also happening, if you think back to the 1920s,,4ruásv all of the national parks were in the west, but nearly mostgun6u= americans in the east. so as a consequence, the national parks were really not accessible to everyday americans unless you had the time and

i'm a citizen of that nation where the largest native nation east of the mississippi a population means that we're about the fifth largest tribe in the country. um, i was a military brat and spent much of my life traveling at reservations, but they were native reservations. they were military reservations, but when i got into college, i began to read the works of vinder laurie jr. who was the most powerful intellectual thinker of the time and if not the century and wound up studying under him for my master's degree and he was the one that convinced me that we needed more indigenous people studying the political affairs of our nations and intergovernmental relations as well. and so that's what led me back to chapel hill to get my phd and i began my teaching career university of arizona for nine years and then the desert heat finally drove me away from there. up to the cold viking country in minnesota where i spent when he winters and had a wonderful run there in both native studies political science and the law program as well as you noted my work really focuses on how indigenous peoples

national security. i believe there is a disconnect between the discussions we are having about expanding renewable energy production and how we source the raw materials will need to build up to those energy facilities. it takes raw materials. raw materials from the earth. there is a movement that wants to keep everything in the ground. coal, natural gas, oil, as well as all minerals. i think that is a dangerous ideology as we think about the future for our country. if the biden administration is serious about expanding rural energy, protecting the environment, increasing good high-paying jobs and protecting national security, it should be serious about expanding domestic mineral production. you spent years working on international and national security issues. you share my concerns with the mineral supply chain as it relates to renewable energy? >> the short answer is absolutely. thank you for the time you made to have a conversation earlier. i'm incredibly jealous you get to go to montana on a regular

churchill, however, great student of nations and national differences and nationalisms, churchill knewhat differences are enormous and important. he knew that even the merrily 20 mile west of the english channel separates political cultures that differ in significant ways. they do because they have been incubated by very different histories. what americans want in the way of foreign policy is as little of it as possible. but something else has also been well said. for two centuries now, the only thing more common than predictions about the end of war, is that war itself. the vietnam war was america's most severe trauma since churchill spoke in fulton. i think churchill, who was occasionally bella quits, but was selectively so, would have approved of the words of vietnam. he was a decorated combat marine in vietnam before he wrote one of the great novels of that war "matterhorn." his regrets, he says, "that the prudence we learn from our involvement in indochina has been widely derided as vietnam syndrome." he goes on to say "if by vietnam syndrome we mean the belief that the u.s. shoul

the lower court nations of u.n. organizations with regional structures would only enhance its capacity to settle disputes in the world. of course, the united nations contemporary role and first and foremost an expanded and strengthened security council will require substantial funding. the method adopted for financing at the founding of the united nations revealed its weaknesses just as soon as some years later it became more active and came closer to actually carrying out the tasks which it was assigned by its founders. this method must be supplemented by some mechanism tying united nations into the world economy. my thoughts may at first glance appear somewhat unrealistic, but we will count on the fact that business is becoming more humane, that a powerful process of technical and political internationalization is taking place, and that business is achieving an increasingly organic relationship with contemporary world politics into which the seeds of the new thinking have been cast. today democracy must prove that

that is how well emare the libraries eldistinguished from the national archives? where does the real power resided within them when it comes to giving scholars or journalists access to these records. how well do they work independently from the federal government? >> let me tell you a quick anecdote to give you an idea where the power lies read the libraries are not separate, they're not distinguished from the presidential foundation, the private political organizations that raise money and build ill have a pretty significant presence there and they cooperate in terms of public programs but when i was on house oversight we tried to hold hearings into the relationship between the national archives and the foundation and the foundation put pressure on archivist david theriault to cancel hearings so we scheduled the hearing, we had witnesses set up, i'm not sure if and was on the witness list for that one, i know she was on the other one and the archivist said the presidential foundations, they don't want you to have this open discussion about our relationship, pleas

most of the stakeholders in the national archives system are folks who need national archives, the researchers, government advocates, former litigators who need to have and maintain a good relationship. it is a struggle between criticizing too much and letting things slide. do not think that just about preservation, and the national archives is not part of the problem in getting access. >> we have been talking about the legal niceties of the presidential records act and how it works. i want to step back and pick up a theme you sounded in your article that we cemented at the outset. it is easy to forget now that we are in calmer times, but we went through what i think is an historically unprecedented attack on our democracy. i think the verdict is out how much our democracy has helped. we will see that. to have a president who refused to participate -- not only refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power, but challenged that very institution . i think that raises enormous questions. when we are talking about presidential libraries, the first question, does president trump deserve t

national guard.stions for him about the deployment, the slow deployment that day of the guard. >> for sure. also really good news from the white house on the u.s. vaccine supply. president biden says there will be enough shots for every american adult by the end of may. >> yeah, i can't wait. >> i can't wait. >> cnn's elizabeth cohen joins us now with more. this is delivery. that's good news on supply. that's a big deal. that's been an issue. will this accelerate getting those shots into arms? >> certainly. i can't imagine how that wouldn't be the case. as you said, two parts, the supply. what we're hearing is there will be enough for every american adult by the end of may, and then actually getting those shots into arms as we've seen is a bit of a different story. in the beginning, when clinics were slow to get shots into arms, that was the beginning. vaccinating an entire population is not an easy thing. it is unprecedented. we've never had to do this before. so it's kind of understandable that it

either the united nations would make somalia into a colony and spend decades engaged in nation-building, or united nations forces would eventually withdraw, and somalia would revert to its prior anarchy. since america and the united nations were unwilling to govern somalia for 30 years, it followed that the job of feeding the hungry and helping the sick must be left to civilian aid agencies and private charities. conclusion, military intervention without an attainable purpose creates as many problems as it solves. this was further demonstrated in the former yugoslavia where early action to arm the victims of aggression so that they could defend themselves would have been far more effective than the united nations' half-hearted multilateral intervention. a neutral peacekeeping operation lightly armed in an area where there was no peace to keep. so maybe to consolidate the gains from aggression. eventually, the united nations peacekeepers became hostages used by the aggressor to determine more effective action against him. all in all, a sorry and tragic episode. ended by the croatian army

they would not be required to act against their own nation.ut in other respects, they would be directed by the world organization. this might be started on a modest scale, and it would grow as confidence grew. i wish to see this done after the first world war and i trust it may be done forth with. it would nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen, be wrong and imprudent to entrust the secret knowledge and experience of the atomic bomb which the united states, great britain, and canada now share, to the world organization while it is still in its infancy. it would be criminal to cast it adrift in this still agitated and un-united world. [applause] no one in any country has slept less well in their beds because this knowledge, the method, and the raw materials are largely retained in american hands. i do not believe we should all accept soundly had the positions been reversed and some communist or neofascist state monopolized for the time being these great agents. the fear of them alone might easily have been used to enforce totalitarian systems upon
