we need the jobs that come with that here in america not overseas. we need frankly the future for america here rather than overseas and republicans and democrats both agree on that. both sincerely agree on that. but today, we heard excuses and we'll hear excuses. we are told this doesn't fund infrastructure. it doesn't. this is about funding infrastructure of research and development and innovation, not through the government. this is through our entrepreneurs through apple and microsoft and the new research and ground-breaking drugs and medical breakthroughs. roads and bridges, we will tackle in another bill. we were told this isn't comprehensive tax reform. it's not. it's a critical step forward in that by taking a provision that has been temporary far too long and making it a permanent part of our tax code so we can invest in r&d with certainty and have honest score keeping in our budget and we can take that first step toward real comprehensive pro-growth tax reform. we are told today as we have heard in the past, it's not paid for. but in fact, th

west coast, in the 1930s, america was not the best place to give education. they decided to bring their children back to japan so they could receive the best education, including education about japanese language and culture. those things are really important for immigrants families to maintain. educational purposes as a reason. that's a reason i like to mention, that there was a fear among japanese and japanese american residents toward the end of the '30s in america. that there may be some violence or mass incarceration once the war started between america and japan. they decided to leave america to avoid such a fate. many of them happen to be in hiroshima and nagasaki and that's how they became survivors. >> is there a name for thevived the bombings? >> yeah. it's literally people who were exposed or received radiations or the bomb. it's a commonly used term among japanese people, but also among american historians, it's used. >> this term would apply to the japanese americans who were in hiroshima and nagasaki at the time. >> right. >> after the bombs wer

west coast in of the 1930's, america was not the best way to give them education. they decided to bring their children back to japan so that they could receive the best education, including education about japanese language and culture, those things that are really important for immigrant families to maintain. educational purposes is another region. another reason i like to mention is that there were a lot of japanese americans towards the end of the 30's in america that saw violence or mass incarceration. they decided to leave america to escape such a fate. many of them have a degree in hiroshima and nagasaki. delia: is there a name that the japanese use for those people who survived the bombing? naoko: yes. it refers to people who were exposed to radiation from the bomb. it is a commonly used term among japanese people. delia: this term also applies to the japanese americans in hiroshima and nagasaki. after the bombs were dropped him what happened to the japanese-americans? what was their situation? naoko: immediately after the explosion, the situation was very c

. >> i am doing the historical restoration of japanese america. and korean americans as well who were born in the state but happened to be either in hiroshima and not a sake in 1945 when the bomb was dropped on cities. -- hiroshima and not a sake. -- nagasaki. the numbers are not huge but substantial. they are somewhere between 20-40,000 asian-americans mostly japanese-americans. but two generations as well who were in japan. specifically hiroshima. hiroshima as a prefecture was at area that had the largest number of japanese immigrants to america before world war ii started. in the 1920's and 30's. out of those 22-30,000 people, there were about 3000 people that were japanese-americans who survived the bomb in hiroshima. and then they decided to come to america, beginning in 1947. because america is obviously where they were born and grew up in. their history is very fascinating, although it is being relatively little-known. fascinating in that it really changes our perception of survivors as japanese citizen who were loyal to the japan as an empi

[applause] there are about 90,000 employees at the irs . we need to padlock that building and take every one of those 90000 and put them on our southern border. to our friends in the median, i say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek. but think about it for a second, a mentioned you had traveled thousands of miles in the blazing sun, you are swimming across the rio grande and the first thing you see is 90,000 irs agents. you would turn around and go home too. at the second tool for jobs and growth and opportunity is regulatory roof

he said it was the money who made america great. so that was hamilton. jefferson was the first in american history to contest artificial privilege, to fight the money made to disagree with the cozy alliance that hamilton had put in place under george washington administration, the alliance between business and government. so bowers and roosevelt jefferson hamilton dichotomy was simple. who spoke for the rich who spoke for ordinary people. why is this book so important? because this would never happen anymore. at the democratic national convention in houston in the teen 28 the author of jefferson hamilton claude bowers gave the keynote address. fdr introduced the candidate kyl smith of new york who went down to defeat herbert hoover. but this keynote address delivered before 10000 in the houston arena and millions more by radio was claude bowers, a national celebrity a famous order from roosevelt appointed ambassador to spain and later ambassador to chile. so fast-forward a bit bit to thomas jefferson's 200th birth day. april 3rd teen, 1943. on that day fr

the diversification started. but it took a long time to sort of come to america. it really varied. >> there was a propensity of japanese americans not to talk about their experiences not even with their families or children later on. what about the people who the japanese americans who had been in hiroshima and nagasaki when they came back to the united states did they talk about their experience? >> i think the answer to that is largely no because actually one practical reason why they remained silent about their experiences is that if they come out as survivors, then their health insurance policy may be taken away in them. radiation was considered a preexisting condition in u.s. health insurance system. so they were really afraid they might just lose the benefit of that health insurance policy because of being survivors. also i think there was a stigma they were considered to be not good investment from an employer because they might miss a lot of work because they might have radiation illness in the near few future women might not be able to reproduce. or if so
