representative rankin: we understand that in politics, people point fingers back and forth. but the issues raised are of such gravity and importance to the nature of our government, that we have to think about this in constitutional terms. this is why we need to set up an institution composed on a bipartisan fashion and bicameral fashion, that will be able to make judgments whether it's five , months from now, five years from now, 50 years from now, whatever it might be. you know we are living in an age , of a lot of chaos. say i appreciate what the speaker has to go through on a daily basis dealing with the chaos of politics, which has been made especially intense recently. and i appreciate her seeing that we need to create some constitutional and institutional foundations for dealing with the chaos. and our forbearers who gave us the 25th amendment gave us the tools that we need to deal with this kind of crisis. speaker pelosi: with the american people, it is the constitution of the united states. it has always been gratifying to country andund the no matter democrats or r

, the early women members of congress up to world war ii very purposefully, with the exception of rankin did not embrace what you would call a women's rights agenda. in fact, they tried to minimize gender distinctions and felt that was the best way to work their way into the hierarchy. it is kind of the same way with the hispanic american members up until chavez and the post-world war ii period, but there's always the tension and degree to which you are going to act as a surrogate representative. henry gonzalez was a cofounder of the congressional hispanic american caucus, but he is so turned off by activists, particularly la raza, which attacked him in the late 1960's and early 1970's, that he questioned a lot of the tactics that are used by activists and eventually questions the legislative agenda of the caucus moves towards in the 1980's to the point where at some point, we don't know when, he stopped paying his dues. he is no longer on the caucus records. we have yet to find the press article that says today, henry gonzalez left the hispanic caucus, but we know he lost interest. that

donald trump junior discusses what he calls liberal privilege and poet and playwright claudia rankin shares her thoughts on an open dialogue about whiteness and privilege in america. that begins at 7:00 p.m. eastern find more information on your program guide or online at book tv.org. recently on our weekly author interview program afterwards offered his thoughts on what he calls the new face of socialism. >> i identify and try to diagnose, if you will, a new socialism, identity socialism, which is a marriage of classic socialism and identity politics. think of classic socialism has essentially a strategy of marxian division between the rich and the poor. it's a class divide. for the modern american socialist left the divide in society is that, but it's not just that. it's also a race divide, black against white. it's a gender divide, mail against female. it's a sexual orientation divide straight against gay. and a transgender. it's also an immigration divide, legal against illegal, so one may sail while marx is trying to carve out society into two groups the left is trying to divide

house of representative's, jeanette rankin, who would vote against war after the attack on pearl harbor. she was a lifelong pacifist and could not accept the violation of her principal even if the united states was attacked in 1941. but also, the man who had just gotten the speakership of the house of representatives broke with the director of his party and refused to vote for the declaration. this is a time where great questions are at stake. people are intensely divided and politics is going to start impacting foreign policy. by the way, it is a great time because just as we are getting ready to debate how to end world war i a pandemic breaks out. the cdc estimates today about 675,000 lost their lives during the great influenza. kansas city had about 2300 dead -- that is significantly larger than st. louis who is better organized and ruthless when dealing with a pandemic. in the month of october alone 195,000 americans died. 50,000 americans died of wounds during world war i. and at about the time the senate is going to move into the most intense question about what should we do regar

house of representatives, rankin, who would also vote against the war and attack on pearl harbor. she could not accept the violation of her principle, even if the united states had been attacked in 1941. but also interestingly, the man who had just got the speakership of the house of representatives broke with the president, the director of his party, and refused to vote for the declaration of war. this is a time when great questions are at stake, people are intensely divided, and politics is going to start impacting foreign policy. by the way, it's also a great time, just as we're getting ready to start debating how to end world war i, a great pandemic breaks out. today the cdc estimates that about 675,000 americans lost their lives in the great influenza of 1918-1919. notice that kansas city had about 2,300 dead. by the way, that's significantly larger than st. louis, who was better organized and more ruthless in dealing with influenza than kansas was. in the month of october alone, 195,000 americans died of flu. remember, 50,000 americans died of wounds during world war i. and

governor rankin -- governor aagan asked that he makes disturbing comment that weapons are none of our business. when he was asked specifically about iraq, he said there is nothing we can do about it. this terrorist threat is the most fearsome of all and is part of a pattern where our country must stand firm to control terrorism of all kind. >> while we are discussing had iran not taken american hostages we would have thought the flow of spare parts now offering to lift the ban if they let our people come home. this reward terrorism? we will maintain our position orion -- iny in the iran iraq-- in the war. when i made my decision to stop all trade with iran as a result of the taking of hostages, i announced then and have maintained that if the hostages are released safely, we would make delivery on those items which iran owns. also that the frozen iranian assets would be released. that has been a consistent carry -- that has been a consistent policy. governor, the eyes of the , israel considers future theor the country has the right to know do you have a policy for dealing with terrori

still, it was a congress that had jeanette rankin in it, there were important new directions, at least in some areas. i was especially thinking about nicole, if you hide thoughts about american politics more broadly. benjamin, what about state politics in the southwest? did it not matter at all, who was governor of texas? and who the sort of local political leaders war, in the american southwest. >> thank you both for excellent questions. to think about other election results in 1916. at least -- in terms of foreign policy, i think the only thing i would go out on a limb to say, to think about is congress. they're wilson is very good at maintaining his executive authority in the realm of foreign policy. i think that there is -- whereas domestic legislation, about the eight hour day and all those kinds of things. there is a lot of democratic members of congress, who i think are ultimately responsible for getting that legislation passed. in terms of getting the united states into the war, whatever. i think we need to be looking outside of congress, and in the white house for that. perhap

thank you, rankin member cole. i appreciate you hosting the hearing and appreciate the hearing to share you ideas for improving house rules for the 117th congress. two years ago in testimony before this committee, i proposed as part of the house rules for the 116th congress a committee to consider measures to improve the operation of congress and independent -- as an independent and co-equal branch of government. under your leadership, this select committee on the modernization of congress was created. as part of the rules package for the 116th. as chair of the select committee, i'm hear to say thank you for your guidance and support of the past two years. very grateful to you and to your staff. with that help, this select committee unanimously passed 97 bipartisan recommendations to make congress work better for the american people. i'm proud of what we achieved and lead the effort with vice chair tom graves, mr. woodall, and ms. sanlin from your committee who shared very ably. i'm here to share bipartisan recomme

a journalist for the baltimore sun, a guy named rankin, was dispatched to cover this trial. and he wrote so incredibly searing mocking reports, of the people he met there. and i just want to read a next served of one of his reports. when an effect of clarence darrel's great speech, meaning his closing arguments, yesterday seems to be precious lead the same as if he had called it up a rain spot in the interior afghanistan. the morons in the audience, when it was over, simply hissed it. bryant had these hillbillies locked up in his pen and he knows it. since his earliest days, indeed, his chief strength has been among folk of remote hills and the forlorn and lonely farms. his nonsense is their ideal of sense when he deludes them with his theological bilge, they rejoice like pilgrims disparate-ing in the river jordan. i mean, holy cow. like no matter what you might think of mannequins ideology, he had a certain genius for comic condescension. reports like this had powerful effects. this trial became to be widely seen as a cultural defeat for fundamentalism. as the moment that m
