guest: this midterm election has not hinged on national security and veterans'issues. folks that are heavily military care about what effect that has on the economy. what we hear is the same sort of things from the rest of the country. there are concerns about the economy, how is it going to work for them. veterans care that the military buildup that president trump has promised is going to happen. they want to make sure they are going to have jobs. are they going to be able to make that transition? the voterse not where they look at national security and military spending and say, that is my guy. factor if they feel like one side is more heavily weighted. are tuning in from the u.k., we welcome our listeners. you can dial in. mike is from new york, democrats line. good morning. caller: how are you? host: we are fine. caller: yes, i will put it this way. work, it is good to see veterans run for office because they know what is going on in this world. as far as the abuse of power by the president of the united states to violate rules is wrong. host: we are getting a litt

the holiday was moving closer to the one we all know today. national thanksgiving before 1863 was the one called by george washington at the congress inhe first 1789. believe it or not, there had vigorous debate in the first congress about the constitutionality of a national thanksgiving. with some arguing that only the the individual 13 states, not the president, had the authority to call a thanksgiving. others argued that thanksgiving was a religious holiday with which the federal government should have no role. in the end, though, the resolution passed. the exact vote is not known. and congress asked washington to proclaim a national thanksgiving. he in turn recommended -- note he did not order -- he used the word recommend -- that all americans celebrate thanksgiving ofthe last thursday november. and he asked the governors to own thanksgiving proclamations of course, all the 13 statesof the request.o washington's by the time lincoln had become president, just about every established an annual day of general thanksgiving. the holiday was celebrated

we can know that we're one nation if we're pictured as one nation. and what you begin to see happen in the early republic and the early days of the new nation, you see maps show up everywhere. everybody keeps drawing the map of this nation with one set of political boundaries over and over and over. they hang it on the walls in taverns, put it on tea cups. if you're surrounded by this map of yourself in relation to all of these others, right, you'll be able to perceive yourself as one with all of these others. maps become one way of thinking about a national union and a national identity. and, of course, part of what we're talking about here, we raise this idea before of the imagined community, how do you imagine yourself in community with people you will never meet? people that you have never met, people that you know very little about and suddenly you're one people with them? maps are one way to imagine yourself as one people. the other thing that happens is rites. so you get the celebration of the fourth of july, for example, this begins to happen

on just about everything. i think it was tailor-made for "fox nation". to hear opinions on anything and everything that comes across my path. specifically i think it's time americans heard from immigrants who love america. and i'm one of them. you'll be hearing a lot about that. >> on the show if we really disagreeing at length and up on a commercial break, were you trying to say the very last word and sometimes awfully close to getting cut off. >> i know a lot about the last word. >> we both do. can i ask, what is so exciting to you personally for "fox nation"? >> i get to talk more. you can put handcuffs on me and have me finish everything. now you are the anchor and you get to talk last. now you talk first! i am excited. i would be remiss if i did not bring it up because while we are excited to be down here with the people in "fox nation" i was upset because the rumors of your solitude, the leather bound books in the knowledge and mahogany, get smarter when you going there. at some point can we please just in the office for a few minutes? >> yes. as lo

these new england societies and pilgrim societies do, asically, if civic rights with one way to build a national origin, civil rights can be one to spread a regional identity. you get new england developing in new york and charleston and place.er the what they are are basically everyone from new england gets together, especially if you're male, and you get together and celebrate the fact that you're from new england. celebrate going to the fact that you're from new england? well, you are basically going to pilgrims.he that's how you celebrate the fact that you're from new england. elaborate have these feasts in december to celebrate the pilgrim landing and the so on and ompact and so forth. every december they would get anew er and celebrate their pilgrim origins. here is one certificate of membership in the pilgrim society. this sort of contrast, he wilderness, the developed town, the native american before, the civilization after with pilgrims. so commemorations become all important. to make sure that we're, it's not overemphasized. there are a lot of commemorations going on. is commemorated i

fascism was tribalism for one nation. so, nazi-ism was tribalism for one race. there is a thing in our brain that clicks on that says we want to be part of our group and see the other as a danger. the great thing about liberal democratic capitalism, about the market, is it helps us learn how to deal with strangers. we evolve for hundreds of thousands of years with some serious programming that says, do not trust strangers. there is a wonderful book by a guy from yale, paul bloom. where he surveys the research done about the programming that babies are inherited with. and don't worry, no babies were harmed in the conduct of those experiments. but babies are born with accents. french babies have a french accent. german babies heavy german accent. babies are born to bond very quickly with the appearance of their parents and then instinctively just trust people who sound different or look different. so when people say had to be taught to hate, they are completely wrong. what people need to be taught is not to hate. and because we are in the evolutionary environment

tolerance is one of those precious things that arose within the order of independent nations, in early modernity. it arose in the wake of a political order in which states and different kinds of governments tolerated one another and in the wake of that, some of them began to extend toleration to their own citizens. we need to find a way out of where we are. the best way, what best way to get out of where we are, to revisit the imperialist assumptions that we ourselves have adopted. those are strong words that are not immediately persuasive to everybody. i would like you to take them home and think about them. the imperialist we have inside us that says no, no, no, i have the answer, we americans have the answer or we germans have the answer, the polls can't run the country the way they want to because we germans have the answer, we know how the polls are supposed to run it. that thinking means italy, a finance ministry can be deposed on say-so from brussels because the germans and other elites have a better understanding who should be the finance minister in italy. it is easy to compla

i have asked you to tell us what happened on the national security council. can you let us in on what you and the pope discussed? fmr. ag meese: it was a great meeting. the opportunity to meet this great man, and everything that has been said about him is true from my standpoint. both what i know about him and also reading about him. you knew god had taken care of the church by having a leader such as that at that point in history. the opportunity to talk with him for 15 or 20 minutes was a great privilege for me. we talked about some of the things -- again, our countries had in common. that was the morality of youth. a topic very much on his mind, something we were concerned about in the justice department. we talked about the drug problem in the united states. we also talked about how some of the catholic bishops, which you heard about last night, how there were problems with them. >> in the united states. fmr. ag meese: in the united states, doing things which were amicable to what ronald reagan was trying to do in other areas. the pope said, sometimes even

nation. blessed with resources. blessed with oceans on both sides, that protected us during infancy of our nation. blessed with hardworking people. but are we in fact a blessable people? when gods looks at america today, does he look at a people who are blessable? or worthy of being blessed? we've got things going on in our nation today, mr. speaker, that are an abomination. we have killed 60 million babies in 45 years. god can't long bless a nation that stays on that path of killing those infants. putting it a different way. those early children that were aborted, following roe vs. wade, would be 45 years old today. they would be in the prime of life. they would be leaders in this nation. they would be doctors and lawyers and researchers and scientists and others that might have made this world an entirely different place. a much better place than it is. but they were not allowed to live those lives that god had planned in the womb for each of those lives to their fullest. this nation can't long continue to be blessed if we stay on that

number one, we had the deepest economic crisis since the great depression. secondly we had a national , security threat and we had a great deal of jeopardy potentially because on the one hand we had an increasingly aggressive soviet union. they had already captivated a good deal of eastern and central europe. they were operating there, or their satellites were in africa. we had a soviet bastion in cuba, 90 miles off our shore. we had a marxist bastion in nicaragua. that was subverting el salvador. our own hemisphere was now under attack. it was really a very serious situation. that is why ronald reagan was so intent of, number one, getting a strong economy. number two, while the soviets were more aggressive, our military had declined considerably in the aftermath of the vietnam war. another important thing was to take on the military and build up the military to where we had traditionally been. -- traditionally been since world war ii. finally, he believed it was necessary to engage the soviet union on a moral plane. that is why the evil empire speech and the focus of evil, that sort

i think race right now is lik like -- one of those top nation republicans -- it's hurting them right ow when they hear and following the president, they're trying to distance themselves from the president but this keeps coming back and hurting them on the campaign trail. steve king and some of the rhetoric that has come out of his mouth and it sort of divided the republican leadership about whether or not to back him or just not say anything and actually saw one republican leader, nrcc chair come out and say, listen, this rhetoric is not acceptable. we have to stand up against it, no other house republican leader did that. and he was re-elected. >> brennan: we have so much to digest from this week, i think all of us by the end of it. we're going to be right back here on "face the nation." stay with us. when i was shopping fothe choice was easy. i switched to geico and saved hundreds. excuse me... winner! that's a win. but it's not the only reason i switched. hi! geico has licensed agents who i can reach 24/7. great savings and round the clock service? now that's a win-win. winner. win

on. every front-page news in newspaper across the nation. it was one of the grandest spectacles that had ever been done. there was just one problem. none of the african-americans who had fought in combat were invited to participate. the official story was none that were available. none were around. we've heard that before. you can read the evidence to the contrary in my book. there was black representation in the parade. general sherman did not believe in having black combat soldiers. he did not have any serve under him. soldiers wholack served with his army. they were scouts. they helped build roads. cattlelped tend to the and do things that are important. his army was moving through the south. they were behind regular supply lines. they needed the blacks for intelligence and scouting. he let them come into the parade at the end. of course, the predominantly white crowd thought this was very funny as this person chronicles. they were the most comical appendage ever seen with any army. these people who had served in important roles were laugh

it's one element of national power that we can bring to bear. it's an important one. a lot of our adversaries can't compete with the united states on most playing fields. so they choose cyber as a place they want to compete with us. the third one or the fourth, excuse me, is advancing american influence. what are we doing from a deterrent standpoint? how are we deterring malicious actors in cyberspace? then how are we working with our international partners. because this is not something we can do alone. it's not something anyone can do alone. we have to find partners who can work with us, who are like minded and we need to do some capacity building. we need to reach out to holy nations, help them develop tools and capabilities and be a part of the fight. that's a pretty quick overview of the national cyber skrtrateg. it's not that long. it's pretty acceccessiblaccessi. we view it as a call to action. goldie said to pay attention today and walk away with a couple things that are going to inspire you to do great things when you get back to your office. i would ask you

one of the things i said when i was nominated. we as democrats do not have much time to show the nation true leadership. over the last two years, we have been blocked in every way. in my own committee, oversight. the republicans have basically aided and abetted our president. there are a number of things he has done that have made many of our constituents to feel pretty bad. now it is our chance to lead. i think nancy pelosi, steny hoyer, jim clyburn, will put us in that position where we can not hit the ground running, but hit the ground flying. we don't have any choice. >> what message will they send to voters? [indiscernible] rep. cummings: i guarantee you nancy pelosi will have the vote. i don't have any doubt. i don't anticipate that. , younk that -- you know have to keep this in mind, but we are dealing with the republican party -- this is not the party of president trump. it is a big difference. what we have to do now is we have to reclaim civility, number one. why do we need to reclaim civility? so we can be most effective and efficient with the things we do. the american people have been very c

that imposing illegal draconian sanctions on iran will bring about such pain to our nation that it will force us to submit to its bid no matter how absurd on lawful or fundamentally flawed its demands ours and today we and our partners across the globe will ensure that our people are least affected by this indiscriminate assault in the economic warfare that directly targets the iranian people not withstanding hypocritical claims by the trumpet ministration to the contrary. their own cheese de spain joined the rush hour in condemning u.s. demands that countries follow its we need sanctions on iran speaking at a joint news conference in the dritte moscow's foreign minister sergey lavrov said u.s. actions on tehran are absolutely illegitimate and disappointing adding washington's ultimatums are quote unacceptable spanish can't pancho said burrell echoed those concerns. canadian going to go there actually i agree with minister lavrov in his rejection of any kind of approach that sounds like an ultimatum including from the u.s. the e.u. and spain in particular have been very critical of the
