and i express our great appreciation for his leadership and devotion toll our nation's -- to our nation's security. i first met admiral haney in 2013 when he was nominated to succeed general calor as the commander. over the past three years it's been my great pleasure to work with him, and i'm grateful for his wise counsel and his firm resolve to always do what is best for our nation and for the men and women that he leads. secretary carter has pointed out on many occasions that our nuclear forces remain the bedrock of our nation's security, and as the commander of u.s. strategic command, admiral haney spent the last three years ensuring that this bedrock remain strong. every day our nation relies on its nuclear forces to deter strategic attack on the united states and our allies. admiral haney has ably led the forwards that comprise our nuclear deterrent as they perform this highest priority mission. he has also been a strong advocate for the modernization of our aging nuclear infrastructure. no small task in the time of capped budgets. his ability to work closely with members of congres

it often lays bare disagreements across our nation. ican instinct has never been to find isolation in opposite corners. it is to find a strength in our common creed. to forge unity from our great diversity. to sustain that strength and unity, even when it is hard. and when the election is over, as we search for ways to come together, to reconnect with one another, with the principles that are more enduring and transitory politics, some of our best examples are the men and women we salute on veterans day. it is the example of young americans, our 9/11 generation, whose first responders went into smoldering towers, then ran to a recruiting center and signed up to serve. the example of a military that meets every mission, unites teams, all looking out for one another, all getting each other's backs. it is the example of the single most diverse institution in our country. soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, coast guardsmen who represent every corner of our country, every shade of humanity. immigrant and nativeborn. christian, muslim, jew, a

[ presentation of colors and playing of national anthem ] ♪ >> let us pray. precious, holy, and almighty god, we give you thanks for those noble men and women who have fought for our nation in our time of need. let us forever recognize we are made in our image. the prophet jeremiah likens you to a mighty warrior. because of this eternal truth, our very will and determination to stand against evil is a reflection of your character. may our country always be blessed with heroes such as those we honor here today. may we never forget and may your blessing remain upon the united states and those who serve to keep her free. i pray this in your holy name. amen. >> please be seated. ladies and gentlemen, our co-host for today's ceremony is the national parks service, the caretakers of the national memorial. we

we invested in our greatest national resource, our people. i thank the chairman and ranking member for accepting provisions that i promoted. we are now able to provide a summer internship program to students from existing centers of academic excellence in intelligence. we also now hold the i.c. more accountable tore doing a better job to assess minority fellowship programs and how they achieve their desired result which is to increase the number of minorities hired by the i.c. i had the privilege of hosting a diversity in intell summit. this served as a rare opportunity for minority groups interested in the i.c. to gain insightful and helpful advice from top national security officials. it further reaffirms our committee's shared commitment to help to ensure robust diversity entire i.c.he i successfully included bipartisan language that promotes accountability and transparency in the i.c. federally funded entire academi programs to report on their recruitment and retention efforts. increasing diversity is an issue of good governanceance and e

thanksgiving is also a reminder of the source of our national strength. out of many, we are one. we are bound not by one race or religion but by adherence to a common creed. that all of us are created equal. wow accepting our differences and building a diverse society has never been easy, it has never been more important. we are people that look out for one another. get each other's backs. we keep moving forward, defined by values and ideals. that have been a light to all humanity. we have to teach ourselves and each other because we all have families we love. we all have hopes for their better future. we lose sight of that sometimes and thanksgiving is a good time for us to remember that you have more in common than divides us. the holidays are also a time when it is important to reach out to those who need a helping hand. i believe we are judged by how we care for the poor and vulnerable, the sick, the elderly the immigrant, the , refugee, everybody who is trying to get a second chance. in order to truly live up to those ideals, we have to continually fight discrimination in all

our military families time and again to breed for our nation. it's easy to honor our troops when they deploy, hold parades when they return, or celebrate their memory of few holidays each year. that is not enough. how a nation treats it's veterans is the true measure of all of us. whether it's health care, education, or employment, we have a covenant to keep with our veterans. and in the case of veterans homelessness, we are all dishonored when a veteran must lay their head to rest on the streets they defended. it begins with lincoln, but it rests with all of us to care for him who has born the battle. so as you no doubt realize, i've shared in full or in part only a handful of the more than 1,000 essays that we had received through this project, and more we have about 92 more in the book that we're published, they all are very in tone, subject, style, what they write about, but they're all inspired by the great emancipator, abraham lincoln. i'm going share just one last essay and it was written by lincoln, the film lincoln's producer, kathy kenn

the divide between law enforcement and the communities they serve is the issue of the day facing our nation. by recognizing our common humanity, our common laws and our common goals, we can, in fact, work on this difficult problem. we could not agree more. as the daughter of a retired minister, and a librarian, attorney general lynch says their commitment to justice and public service shaped her interest in this work. a graduate of harvard law school, she joined the united states attorney's office for the eastern district of new york in the '90s. there, she forged an impressive career prosecuting cases involving violent crimes, public corruption and civil rights. she is an advocate for justice and a defender of civil rights, as you know. as attorney general of the united states, she has been a steady voice for justice in some very tough times in our country. from the charleston church shootings to the shootings of citizens at the hands of police, to the shootings of police at the hands of citizens, and the orlando nightclub shooting as well, she has been there, calling for calm and bringing

burnham was speaking about his station, but he had our nation on his mind. the logic of the entire conception and of its separate parts, that is the ode of america. that we are united as one country, because of the logic of our many parts. it is an idea inscribed on our coins and on our dollar bills, out of many, he was telling us we were one. the main hall is one of those parts that makes the station whole. and this station, our union station, is a testament to those bonds we have forged between us. i have no doubt that burnham would be proud. congratulations and a job will done." [applause] barry: ladies and gentlemen, tonight we celebrate this marvelous restoration of the main hall and the remarkable collaborative efforts of so many groups and individuals. this is a wonderful example of collaboration between private and public sectors. we are both humbled and proud in what we have been able to accomplish together in keeping true to the preservation initiative, while simultaneously achieving each party's needs and desires. i would like now to recognize the

i believe our national parks are a nation civic stage.he national mall which we certainly at the quilt have experience or in valley forge, you know, any number of places where we go, we are telling our nation's story. and how we care for those parks is how we care for our nation's story. so as we move forward and we think about places where some people may need to feel like they need healing or hope or feel abandoned by perhaps something in our civic arena, i can tell you this quilt was not welcome when we first came to d.c. there was a hard-fought battle or will you be allowed to tell this story that is about what the world per received as a gay story on our nation's civic stage. and now when we came back in 2012, when we came back in 1996, when we came back each and every year thereafter, there was a welcome fleet of national parks service employees, capitol police, all sorts of people began to understand that a national story needed to be told. so as we start to look at some of these very difficult conversations that involve truth and

and we need to strive to live up to the best instincts of our nation, not the darkest impulses. yet another group that is feeling threatened is our lgbtq community. i would note that donald trump and his campaign did not attack our lgbtq community and he said on 60 minutes the other night when the question of same-sex marriage came up, he said that's settled. but actions speak as well as words. and of all the possible men and women he could choose as a running mate, he chose now president-elect mike pence, the most anti-lgbtq governor in america. this individual is someone who has signed a draconian religious liberty law in indiana that empowers individuals and businesses to discriminate against the lgbt community. our vice president-elect supported conversion therapy to change people's sexual behavior. as a radio host, he gave a speech and declared marital equality would lead to societal collapse. and mr. trump's chief strategist echoes much of this. one headline on breitbart news said dear straight people: i'm officially giving you permission to say, and then it goes on to list

and then only with regard to our national security. i believe also that this responsibility for preserving the peace is a responsibility particular to our country that we cannot shirk. we are the only one that can do it. the burden of maintaining the peace falls on us. to maintain that peace requires strength. america has never gotten into a war because we were too strong. lettinget into a war by event get out of hand as they have in the last three in a half years. policies of president .arter good management of preserving we tryce requires that to intercept before these of its become a crisis. i have seen for wars in my lifetime. i am a father of sons. i have a grandson. i do not ever want to see another generation of young intocans believe the lies the beachhead on the pacific. >> mr. stone, you have a follow-up question for the governor? >> the plan you speak of would of dollars.s assuming that the american people are ready to bear this cost, they nevertheless keep asking the following question -- how do you reconcile the huge increa

they help secure our nation there. they are also a part of our armed forces and a part of the normal rotation of the u.s. armed forces overseas, so national guard units get mobilized. that is why they exist, not only to protect america at home, but go do, as part of the regular forces, security operations and military operations overseas. we have a number of national guard soldiers today that have immobilized and our own federal duty performing just like the rest of the armed forces. i am very proud to serve alongside them and have them in our formation. when they are done here, they will go back home and resume their duties defending america at home. then i think, well, i don't member what her second question was exactly. i got it. she was mentioning that she thought that the local folks could handle their own defense, and they should. and the reason we came here, for a long time, we watched iraq struggle with the threat that is isl. -- with the threat that is isil. isil is not just a threat to iraq, it is a threat to

our country with? none. we are a great nation. but what makes us great is our diversity and our ability to come together. that's what we should be doing. i'd hope the president-elect would reconsider, would understand what a signal this sends to -- what a signal it sends to the country naming stephen bannon his white house chief strategist. we don't need more division. we certainly don't need people who might attack someone because of their religion. we need people who will realize the united states is an inclusive country, not an exclusive. this is not the message we should send, not within our own country, especially not throughout the world. mr. bannon wants to go back and do breitbart.com -- as horrible as the things they've said, as horrible as anti-semitism is, as offensive as all these religious things -- they have a first-amendment right. but don't set that as the example of the white house, the president of what is already the greatest nation on earth. mr. president, i yield the floor, and i suggest the absence of a quorum

what i see in these meetings with the president-elect and candidates for our national security and our national defense is someone who is with men and women of extraordinary background and capability. we have real challenges around the world today, john, and the american people should know that president-elect donald trump is going to surround himself with men and women who are going to ensure our national defense. we're going to rebuild our military. but this is going to be a president that is going to be determined to destroy isis and to confront radical islamic terrorism, so it can no longer threaten our people here at home. >> dickerson: finally, mr. vice president-elect, you went to see "hamilton." the actors sent a message to you. part of it was, "we are the diverse america that are alarm and anxious that our new administration will not protect us." why do you think they're alarmed and anxious? >> well, first off, i took my daughter and her cousins to the show friday night, and john, if you haven't seen it yet, it's a great show. off to the cast and to the extraordinary team that
