and the reporters in the spanish republic tended to stick together. they stayed in the same hotel in madrid, they ate dinner together every night at the same table that was reserved for them in the same restaurant. and afterwards they repaired for drinks to ernest hemingway's suite at the hotel, and you can find descriptions of all this in countless memoirs. now, in this kind of situation the question for me becomes what stories did the herd miss? and there were two big ones. in one case it went almost unreported by the foreign correspondents in spain at the time. the second case, it went entirely unreported. and here's what the stories were. the first story was this. when franco and his nationalists made their grab for power in july 19 3w-6 -- 1936, in much of the country that they did not succeed in taking over then, particularly spain's northeast, barcelona and surrounding catalonia. they were defeated not by loyal army troops, but by hastily-organized, badly-armed militias that had been formed by left-wing political parties and labor unions. and h

and the dominican republic and haiti, particularly the expulsion of haitians from the dominican republicnd also the role of particularly the united states ndos since the earthquake and the role in the u.s. in terms of haiti's internal affairs. >> well, as you probably know, the latter point, the u.s. role since the january 2010 earthquake is getting considerable attention, not lease because of the presidential run of secretary of state hillary clinton, who had a pivotal role in the, quote, restoration, unquote, of haiti. her spouse, former u.s. president bill clinton was a kind of vice roy in haiti there have been many lords what happened to all the money that was contributed by many u.s. nationals and nationals from all the world to haitian relief and what happened with regard to the kind of housing that was going to be built for haitians, many of whom are still in very poor conditions. secretary clinton is receiving quite a grilling from certain audiences. -... assu assu assume. even if they have adequate paper documents, it is like people in the united states now adays, color-phobia.

the first half was the republic, ruled by elected senators. was the empire, ruled by unelected emperors. in its glory days, the word "rome" meant not just the city, but what romans considered the entire civilized world. everyone was either roman or barbarian. people who spoke latin or greek were considered civilized, part of the empire. everyone else, barbarian. according to legend, rome was founded by two brothers, romulus and remus. abandoned in the wild and suckled by a she-wolf, they grew up to establish the city. in actuality, the first romans mixed and mingled here -- in the valley between the famous seven hills of rome. this became the roman forum. in 509, they tossed out their king and established the relatively democratic roman republic. that began perhaps history's greatest success story, the rise of rome. from the start, romans were expert builders, and they had a knack for effective government. this simple brick building was once richly veneered with marble and fronted by a grand portico. it's the curia. the senate met here and set

to me it is most remarkable that 27 years after the founding of our public debt republic -- republic, they have a society dedicated to the history of this building and those that work with your that is -- within it. that is a remarkable matter in any country's history. as some of you may know, i am from ghent, where i was part of the ending of the world night -- were of 1812. it was interesting to me while i was in amsterdam and london and st. petersburg and imperial russia, that i would be approached by americans that were there and they would probably boast that they were native americans. [laughter] mr. gallatin: without a single scalping knife or blanket or eagle feather insight. my point is the only true native americans are those whose ancestors were standing on the shoreline, waiting to see the first europeans set foot on this continent. thus, my friends we are all immigrants. [applause] mr. gallatin: unless one of our ancestors was one of the true native americans. we are either immigrants such as myself, directly come to this nation, or the sons or great-grandchildren of thos

realistically in these first years of our republic the suffrage is limited. they themselves do not enjoy the suffrage. i'm not sure by answer your question but it is a very difficult and delicate subject. are there other questions? >> did i understand correctly that there is a section of the alien and sedition act that is still in effect? >> the sedition act is not in effect. what is in effect is the naturalization act. as well asremains the enemy act. >> i had read somewhere that he was a senator from pennsylvania but had to leave office because his nationalization was deemed not regular. >> this is true. the legislatures are responsible for nominating and sending forth the names of people to become their senators and so i was sent that wasa legislator in the hands of the federalists. i was well known to be a democrat-republican. out to legislatures. the constitution requires nine years for one to become a senator. they said don't worry. some onesomething that should always remember. that is perhaps the time to begin worrying. what happened was i took the th

their attention on him. 2002, he had fighters in a central africa republic.he coururt did not detetermine bemba ordered the mass casualties and rapes but rather that he knew what they were doing and failed to stop the crimes. >> as a fellow congolese citizezen, it hurts s me that hs anotother 10 yearsrs in the the hague, but no one is above the law. have beenbemba behind bars for eight years. he will appeal his sentence. earlier today, french police said they had banned a march after previous rallies were marred by violence. said firstr minister was proposed a static rally. top representatives today and went on to meet with suburb.ps in a paris dupre is now. martinez haslippe told us that discussions with the interior minister were very talks,but after hours of they have finally come to a compromise, and the french therior minister allowed trade unions to protest tomorrow in the heart of paris, and they will be able to march for one kilometer, so that march will indeed be a little bit shorter than what was originally and by the trade union, but it is somethin

the one difference was grant said we will take the dominican republic, make it part of the and we will see if african-american workers in the south where labor is precious, although treated badly, those african-americans can threaten to leave to go to the dominican republic where there is lots of room and lots opportunity for them and maybe want southerners to keep that workforce may respect their civil rights. ase historians dismiss this cockamamie proposal. it was a proposal frederick douglass among others endorsed. frederick douglass was not a cockamamie man. he would oppose colonization before the american civil war and endorse annexation. annexation opposed was charles sumner, friend of the black man, assisted by missouri senator and former commander charles shorts. at most grant could stop some of the violence but he couldn't stop the eventual collapse of the public and regimes even when he won reelection in 1872. term saw thed collapse of his reconstruction policy. in very violent, nauseating fashion. i think that is important to understand. see grant as a hero. in this case he

secretary kerry is in the dominican republic for the general assembly meeting and we are confronting serious issues at this meeting including the crisis in venezuela walla. the countries represented there will play a major role and the more we work in partnership with these governments, the better. they may be small countries but they pack a big punch. this legislation will keep us moving in the right direction when it comes to these partnerships. i was very honored to introduce the bill and honored that we have strong support on both sides of the aisle. i want to thank chairman royce and representative ros-lehtinen, both excellent members and stalwarts of our committee and another example of bipartisan. and i'm proud of that. this will keep us moving in the right direction. i urge a yes vote and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from florida is recognized. ms. ros-lehtinen: thank you so much, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i have remaining. mr. speaker, i thank once again, ranking member engel for the

again, tied to the beginning of the republic. second chapter, two men who are considerably less well-known -- john randolph of virginia and nathaniel macon of north carolina. out of curiosity, how many of you know about nathaniel macon? i know troy does. i saw a few hands go up. an interesting chapter because they are not very well-known and i think deserve to be better known than they are. ways, macon and randolph were sort of the quintessential .olitical odd couple they had a 30-year friendship, which spanned their time in congress. macon was from north carolina. randolph was from virginia. macon was bigger of the house under jefferson and macon was the leader of what was called then the republicans in the house, and they shared lodging together in washington for this period, so they are very close personally but very different personalities. macon could the described us stolid, cautious, severe and socially very democratic, very down to earth. randolph on the other hand was socially or a socratic, so they did not exactly the s

i think of the spanish republic had won the war, people of spain would have been much better off. there are right wing historians that said if the republic would've won it would've become a soviet satellite. it is true, the soviet state have great influence in the army and security police. i think to effectively turn a country into a satellite you have to have military occupation. the soviet satellites in eastern europe could remain that you eat way for 40 years because the red army was at hand in moscow did not stop and hesitated to play when somebody got out of line. as seen is it six in east germany, 1953 in czechoslovakia. similarly, the u.s. kept most nations in central america and the caribbean doing pretty much what it wanted throughout the 20th century through ceaseless string of military interventions. without a red army occupied the republic of spain i do not think it would've been a soviet satellite. what kind of of country what it have been? i think democratic, disorganized, chaotic, but not a military dictatorship. furthermore, and this sort of gets to the second ques

the oil flow will continue after the establishment of the islamic republic.o, his message said, we will not act as an exporter of revolution. even this pledge from khomeini's emissary. you can tell the american jews not to worry about the jewish future in iran. >> this reveals the cleverness of khomeini. the message is purposefully tuned. he seems to know exactly what the american policy was at the time. reporter: khomeini is known to history as an uncompromising leader, but these documents show that in his long quest for power, he was tactically flexible. he played a moderate, even pro-american part to take control, but once change had come he put in place an anti-american legacy that would last for decades. jane: for more, he joined be a short time ago. you have grown up with this history. what surprised you the most about these revelations? >> i was amazed by his quiet outreach in 1963. let's not forget, 1963 was the beginning of khomeini's movement, railing against women's rights, against the u.s. he had also quietly reached out to washington, telling he

side of the border but has lots of customers in the republic of ireland.hey think that may change. >> from a business point of view, i think it will be a disaster along the border. i can remember when we started business here, and it was basically farms. you had duty to pay. >> but not all business people think that way. the owner of this restaurant says the e.u. has caused damage. >> it is firmly for big business, big banks and big politicians, and the small to medium-sized businesses have been stifled by over regulation. >> the frontier nearby used to go one of the most contention in the world. a conflict known as the troubles lasted for three decades over whether northern ireland should become part of the republic of ireland. there was a peace agreement in 1998, and since then the capital city, belfast has been transformed. funding from the e.u. has helped to pay for landmark new buildings, improvements to the transport network and projects to encourage reconciliation. although northern ireland is in the u.k., belfast has responsibility for most governm

republics have now joined isis. the u.s. releasing powerful video showing an air assault on isis fighters fleeing fallujah on wednesday. attack helicopters destroyed more than 130 vehicles and killed dozens of fighters. iraq has declared fallujah liberated after two years of isis occupation. leon? leon: maureen, tips from the community are being credited for helping police capture a man suspected of killing three people and wounding two others in district heights. lawrence rogers, jr., facing three counts of first and second-degree murder. police say he is the man captured on surveillance video the night that carlina gray, jan parks and so far they don't have a motive. it blocked off the connector for hours this afternoon. after 1:00 an m.t.a. officer pulled over a driver for speeding and the police says that the driver pulled a knife. that forced the officer to fire his weapon. the driver surrendered. no one was hurt. maureen: a new recall and the seven car models you should not drive until they are fixed. leon: an

but as you might have surmised, there was grave consternation in the slaveholding republic about thesuccess and it drew at the haitian revolution. you will recall if you look at many of the slave revolt that brought north america in the period leading up to the u.s. civil war, and virginia circa 1800. in south carolina, nat turner's result circa 1831 in virginia. they all had the fingerprints of haiti all over them, particularly gabriel's revolt in virginia in 1800, which takes place at the same time as the haitian revolution is unfolding and also the denmark bessie in charleston, south carolina was a seafarer and reportedly part of his and and ambition was to not only revolt against slavery and then escape with numerous formerly enslaved, but perhaps even to ceylon to freedom in the island then ruled by africans. that is to say cd. what is interesting about many of these revolts as they are not unlike other revolt taking place within the hemisphere in which there is either aspiration by the haitian revolutionaries are directed to geisha and by the haitian revolutionaries. and fact,

first lady in the news, hour do you see the role of the first lady being different in the early republic vs. how we conceive of them today. >> it was quite different. one of the interesting things about louisa's life is her period in the white house was actually a low point in her life. not in terms of being a low point but she didn't have anything to do. there wasn't any precedent for a kind of active role for a first lady. she stayed at home and ate chocolate, literally. and she copyied mozart scores but she prefigured the role of first ladies now. bag surrogate figure for someone who -- and kind of making up for some of the flaws of shortcomings of her spouse. you can't draw a straight line from her to first ladies now because for a long time -- probably because she was so forward and she was criticized for being forward, her role disappeared. in fact she was punished for it in some ways. one reason she kind of withdrew when she got to the white house, she said people are criticizing me for being too visible, and i need to step back. there was this complicated thing in the jackson adm

that is part of what this constitutional republic is all about. >> really quickly, we're out of time, but a quick compound question very briefly. number one, we've heard that reince priebus is reaching out to some delegates to sort of poll them, see how many are a part of this. have you heard from reince priebus and has there been any backlash to what you're trying to do or do you worry about back lash? >> sure, there's always going to be backlash, any time you go against the party and you stand up for what's right in principle. and this is truly trying to save the party. we love our party, we've worked extraordinarily hard our entire adult lives to create a philosophical, very good conservative party, we simply don't want donald trump as the face of that party. >> have you heard from reince priebus? >> i have not but i've heard from other elected officials. that just makes me work harder and makes the rest of us work harder. we know we're right in what we do. >> thank you for your time. joining me are two members of the never trump movement, former campaign manager for carly fiorina,

a republic or a monarchy? and franklin is said to have responded, "a republic, madam." "if you can keep it." but while the new form of government devised in philadelphia was not a monarchy, neither was it democratic. yet franklin still called it a republic. that's because the meaning of that term, republic or republican, had just been changed by the men inside the building from which franklin was leaving. a republican constitution was no longer a democratic constitution if it ever truly had been. in my book, "our republican constitution," i explain how these two fundamentally-divergent views of the constitution divide us even today. i call these divergent views the democratic constitution and the republican constitution, but i don't intend these labels to be partisan. there are political conservatives who hue to some aspect of the democratic constitution and some progressives who adopt aspects of the republican one. many people, perhaps most people, flit between conceptions depending on which happens to conform to the results they like on a particular issue. i contend t

franklin, what have you give us, a monarchy or a republic? and franklin says, a republic, madam, if you can keep it. that's where this comes from. if you can keep it, right? [applause] okay. so the thing is it's one of those things that maybe you heard it in history class or maybe you didn't, but the point is it really is one of these odd quirks of history. the only reason we know about this exchange between mrs. powell -- who's lost to history -- and franklin is because james mchenry, the 34-year-old delegate to the constitution, happened to hear this and went home and wrote all this in his diary. that's the only reason we know of the existence of this, okay? it wasn't, like, a speech given by benjamin franklin. benjamin franklin shot this off the cuff and it's gone, except it's written down, and now we know it. but think of the import of those words, "if you can keep it." in other words, he understood and all of the founders understood that what they had created was utterly unprecedented. now, as a proud greek i know that the greeks invente

hurt: i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from virginia, mr. wittman, is recognized for one minute. mr. wittman: mr. speaker, i rise to recognize today's guest chaplain, reverend brian britton, and thank him for delivering this morning's invocation. he serves as the senior pastor of the dwelling place church in williamsburg, virginia, where he lives with his wife, valerie, and daughter. in addition to his work in the first district, reverend britton pastors a church in richmond, virginia, and travels internationally to act as a missionary to communities in africa, south america, and central asia. pastor britton will be leaving tomorrow to pursue his work in africa. our nation was built on a foundation of faith and through reverend britton, we can all see firsthand how god uses his ministry to eternally impact the lives of men, women, and children of his church, of his community, of his commonw

the dominican republic some people can be critical of it when it comes to holiday.e >> absolutely. the dominican republic has not had the best reputation, better known for his all-inclusive mega-resorts. it is really kind of changing the tide for the island and making it quite an upscale getaway. is a golfe seeing course on nature reserve, really quite special. is the zika virus holding back u.s. tourists from discovering this is little bit? yes, a little bit. each should assess the risk and how comfortable they are. i recommend looking at the website and talking to your doctor if you are concerned. the good news is there have not been any confirmed contracted cases of the virus. it plays like to -- laguna beach in california is a safe that. vonnie: is that the only domestic one? it was not. there is a lovely one in asbury park of all places. .hat was exciting and in miami beach, one of my favorites, where i grew up, always happy to see that. designer, you might recognize from his films. he has done a couple of projects here and there. and she also played a role. it

according to estimates, 2 million people in the people's republic have died of malnutrition since the 1990s. >> north korea followed communist ideology with a planned economy. we had a food distribution system, but it wasn't working. in order to fill our stomachs, our mother and father would gather small grains and mix them with lots of dried vegetable leaves. we couldn't even imagine having rice. corn was our main source of food, and even that was hard to get. >> north korea has asia's second-largest army. the country isolated itself from the rest of the world in 1953. resistance to the kim dictatorship is forbidden. the ju family listened to foreign radio in secret. >> when we heard all the information from outside, we began to feel that we'd been deceived. so my father decided that he could not let his children live in a place like that. >> he decided to flee the country, but that meant risking death. north korea's borders are secured with watchtowers and barbed wire. >> my father escaped first, and then the rest of my family left. i stayed behind. i was 18. i thought if i stayed b

so we have these merchant republics, we go back to athens, the byzantines, the italian american republics, the scotch, the british, so forth. then of them have the greatness of populations and natural resource that we in this country do to exploit ourselves and develop our own economic interests here at home. and so i am wondering to what extent you see the tpp as being of us as aefit both nation attempting to drive value from trade around the world, and also a nation that is given such a great wealth of natural productivity in terms of population and resources. michael froman: let me take that into parts, first the foreign-policy question, and then the economic strategy. on the foreign policy side, it is our view that trade agreements, first and foremost, must be justified on economic grounds, the impact they have on growth, strength of the middle class, wages, jobs here in the united states. there is no doubt tpp also has tremendous strategic benefits and foreign policy implications. we see that across the region in asia. i saw it with prime minister lee and prime minister kia, and othe

and the republic of ireland is very much an eu country.at happens when northern ireland, along with the rest of the uk, leaves the eu? that means the 300-mile land border between northern ireland and ireland, that will now be a border that separates an eu country from a non-eu country. it's a rather sensitive subject, that border between ireland and northern ireland, right? check your folk music collection if you need backup on that. right now at the moment, that border is open. free movement across the border between northern ireland and ireland. it's like not exactly but basically like driving from nevada into california. if that becomes an external border between eu and not the eu, then are they going to put back up the armed checkpoints on the ireland/northern ireland border? are they going to make people show i.d. and get their cars checked? to get between ireland and northern ireland? like they used to during the troubles? you'll have to show your passport? that's going to go great. that's going to go great. the very idea of it is al

franklin, what have you given us, a monarchy or a republic? he said a republic madam if you can keep it. that's where this comes from. if you can keep it. >> okay so it's one of those things, maybe you heard it in history class or maybe you didn't, but the point is, it really is one of these odd quirks of history. the only reason we know about this is because james mchenry, the 34-year-old delegate happened to overhear this and went home and wrote all this in his diary. that's the only reason we know the existence of this. it wasn't like a speech given by benjamin franklin. benjamin franklin shot this off-the-cuff and it's gone except it's written down and now we know it. think of the import of those words. if you can keep it. in other words, he understood and all of the founders understood that what they had created was utterly unprecedented did. as a proud greek i know we invented democracy. >> yes we did and a lot of stuff. the point is, the greek states were very small and democracy just flourished for a tiny period. here we have 13 coloni

in two thousand two, he sent them to the central african republic after the president asked for a helppressing an uprising. it was here that the troops went on a bloody rampage, victims described cruelty, including young girls raped in front of their families. he went on to be a prominent politician in the democratic republic of congo, first in opposition, then in government. he was arrested in 2008, the most senior political leader ever to be detained by the icc. he is expected to appeal the sentence, but his conviction marks a historic moment for the icc. it sends a strong signal against the use of rape as a weapon of war. >> the south african government has appealed for calm after violence erupted in pretoria. protesters torched buses and barricaded roads with burning tires and one of the capitals townships. they are angry at the ruling party, which they say has imposed an unpopular mayoral candidate on them. this violence comes two days after a leading figure was shot dead over the same issue. in a sign of increased party infighting. we will take a short break. more news, coming up
